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 £80,000; and the
Freight now paid to sailing vessels for carriage to Liverpool
is upwards of .e 3,000 a-year. For Farm Produce the South-
ern District is remarkable; and the annual influx of Visitors
into the Island thereto become prodigious. The success of
the Company,re, cannot reasonably be doubted.
