The FISHERIES. The interest of Massachu-
sets in the fisheries is larger far than we had
any idea Of The Boston Atlas states that
there is employed, this year, from the port of
Gloucester, 1870 vessels, manned by over 1000
men! This fleet is principally engaged now in
Mackerel fishing. Gloucester probably has
neal ly double the interest in that business of
any place in the Union, and it is in fact becom-
ing the great Mackcrel Market for the coun-
try. 1t will be also for other kinds of fish, par
ticularly Halibut, the fishing for which is not
pursued by any other people. About $500 tons
of shipping are employed from this port alone,
in the fishing business, and this business is also
quite important and extensive at the nelghbor-
ing ports of Anniquam and Rockport.

after his descent he was asked whether it was
not too damp for him to remain, to which he
replied sit was none to hurt" He was called
again and he said he would come up and got
into the bucket for the purpose, but before
reaching the top he fell to the bottom and was
instantly killed. The day previous, candles
were let down, but came back cXtinguisAed
which circumstance the unfortunate deceased
was aware of, and, ofcourso, relieved every one
from censure.
