HF.RIIII/11G Ftstotxn.—Extract of a letter from
Thurso, dated Ang. Is, IS2I :—" The herring fishing
on this part of the coast of Caithness has been hitherto
uncommonly good. The boats are all well fished, and
the fish bear their usual superior good quality. Of
eleven beta only !hat were out on Tuesday night last,
ten delivered 272 cranes on Weilkes isv morning,
making the great average of upwards of 27 cranes to
each boat. A boat hrlonging to Mr. Robeson, which
set h. r bete °if Ounbeatli, on the east coast, on Tues-
day night, being unsuccessful, started fur Thurso, on
Weisloesslmnoesiog, and set .ilsat night olf Strathy
Read, on frit West coast, having run a distance of up-
wards of 11141 miles, and cause in next morning with
apt% arils of 20 cranes of herrings. There are now two
vessels in the roads ready to sail, one for Memel, and
the other for Ilaniburgh, with cargoes of Thurso cured
herrings.
" I regret to state, that a large boat, belonging to
this town, with five men, went down at her nets yes-
terday morning, and all perished.
" The fishing on the East coast has not vet bees so
;rood as usual, owing to the winds bring so unfavour-
able."

At Cromarty the herring fishery is going om with
the greatest spirit. About 1000 barrels were taken in
one day last week. There are about 20 vessels (the
greater number from Ireland in the employment of the
curers. The heJcls and green have the appearance of
a continued fair, and the town is deriving ►ouch good
from the circulation of cash,.
We hear from Burghead that the greatest success
attends their herring fishing; one instance is men-
tioned to us, of 30 boats having in one day caught at
the rate of 20 cranes each.

other pair of shoes produced, deposed to that fact ;

perty.

torney, who, under all the cireumatasees, cantioneri

size. She stated that she ►was desirous of treating her
friends, and bearing that a wan of the name of
Solomon, residing in Hussell•cuitrt, Drury-lane, sold
orders very cheap, she had applied to him, and he had
let her have the orders in question fur half a crown
each.

Mr. Bacurrx then remarked, that as Mr. Tern►
was not present to prove that the signatures were
forged, he did not feel justified in detaining them
custody, but would take their words to appear at the
Office at twelve o'clock the next day (yesterdav,) and ; n
the mean time Le would direct the man Solomon to be
apprehended.

visits to the children, as their aunt, excited suspicion,
and on inquiry being set on foot she was found out to
