The Merchants Magazine, is the title of
an excellent periodical which we have re-
ceived by the Gloucester. 1t contains much
valuable information for those of that profess
sion, with the most recent literary intelIi-
gcnce, notices of new books, statistics of for
eign and domestic trade, commerce, banking,
etc. We should adj, Use all who wish to keep
up with the spirit and Intelligence of the age,

written and luminous article upon the whale
fishery, which, as being one of the greatest
sources of business to these islands, cannot

commerce from this group.

that SO much had previously been written
about them. y stay of Il few weeks or even

or residents. Hence the dissatisfaction
which the works of these flying voyagers
give to the people Of whom they treat, and
