The Southern Coast of the Isle of Man is the immediate
resort of the Herring Fleet, and abounds with great quan-
tities of Fish of various kinds. The produce of the
Herring Fishery, employing upwards of 600 vessels and about
5,000 men, amounts annually to nearly 4'60,000; and the
Freight now paid to sailing vessels for carriage to Liverpool
is upwards of £3,000 a-year. For Farm Produce the South-
ern District is remarkable; and the annual influx of Visitors
into the Island has now become prodigious. The success of
the Company, therefore, cannot reasonably he doubted.
After a careful estimate of the probable expenses and earn-
ings of the vessel, it is calculated that there will be a return
to the Company of about 20 per cent. upon the outlay.
Subscriptions to the amount of €lO,OOO have already been
obtained, and the Vessel is expected to be on the station by
the Ist of June next.
Persons desirous of taking Shares are requested to apply
immediately to the Secretary. Castletown, Isle of Man, or to
Mr. JOHN SHIMMIN 136 Islington, Liverpool.
