HERRIAG FISHERY.

A Report has been published by the Conirr.issloners for the
Herring Fishery, in which they give a view of :he state of the
fishing from April, 18111, to Aptil, ;019, front which it aypears
that the produce of the fishing has Leta more abuntliun m the
last year than in that of the preceding, and th..t th. cuantity of
herrings branded for bounty, and e:.verttd, is far beyond any
thing previously reported by the Cc.:.:litis.iioners. In the year
ended ith ayril, 171111, the total t.vtotity caught was 227,t0/
barrels; of which, 204,270 t barrels were cured jutted, and
211,42C3 ungutted. In the year erited sth April, 1819, the total
qoantity caught is 340,694 ban-els ; of which, 305,7721 have
been cored gutted, and 57,11 e; ungutted; bring an increase to
the total quantity of 113..215 barrels; of 99,407 i in the quantity
gutted, and of 13,6951 in the quantity unguttyd.
In the preceding year the quauuty of. herrings found entitled
to bounty, was 183,01101 barrels; in the present, 270,0221 have
been branded ; being an increase of 86,953 harrels.
In the last year, the total quantity of herrings cxportef was
162,3391 barrels, whereof 148,1471 were cured gutted, and
14,192 ungutted. In the prewar, the total qdontity_ exported is
227,162 baels, Whereof 212,3011 have been zuretlgotted, and
14,8& imparted ; being an increase in the total quantity of
64,9221barre15, of 4,154 In the quantity gutted, and of 6681 in
the quantity vngutted. . .
It will also be seen, that while, in the preceding year, 43,896
barrels i►ere exported to the Continent of Europe, whereof 528
were ungutted, the exportation to the same quarter in the pre-.
sent year amounts to 5:4,333 barrels, all gutted; being an in-'
crease of 5437 barrels.

These statements re, der it unnecessary for the Commissioners
to make any observations on the flourishing state of the Fishery;
but they have. much pleasure in repor,ing, that.greatas has been
the amount of the Fishery in the present if ar, the demand for
herrings fully kept pace with the supply till towards the month of
April last, wheel the prices fell; but the Commissioners have
reason to believe that not above 15,000 barrels remained unsold
at the sth of that monthui and that before the ensuing fishing
commenced, not above a few hundred bat rels *ere undispowdof.•

found its way to Augsburg. A large reward has bten offered fur
the offender, who is described as a man elegantly dressed, wear-
ing spurs, and a cloak with many capes.
