MARYLAND.-A letter, published in

ance in the Treasury of Mary land,
subject to cure nt expenses and fu-
ture appropriation, TO be $4,000.
The revenue for the present year will
probably exceed that of the last by $780,
900; and if the bill to lay duty on sales
at auction in the city of Baltimore
should succeed, this sum will be con
siderably increased. with these facts

be doubted that the State has the ability

that they have been even more sue

of the fishings carried on by proprletors

are at present Gfty-seven decked vessels
engaged in this department of the Zet-
land fisheries, giving employment to
nearly 600 seamen; and including these,
the persons altogether engaged i'll it are
about 500 or 1900. The value of the
vessels IS from cool. TO 50Ol. They be-
long generally to the fishermen them

fruits of their industry. This branch of
the fishery has sprung up within the last

which their adventures have afforded to
them and their families, and the profits
derived from this employment, property
in shipping to the amount of nearly co.
