THE GLOUCESTER FISHERIES.
The Boston Journal says: Thirty-seven vessels
arrived at Gloucester last Sunday from the Bay n.
Lawrence with fares we hear, averaging about 10
barrels. This is a small catch for fve-months voy-
age and will leave the crews with but little money
A very large fee, is still absent, and may yet bring
home good fares if the weather should prove favor
able The Gloucester vessels are the last to leave the
Bay and every year the gamers by their prolonged
STAY frequently making handsome trips after the YES
sels from all other ports have arrived home.
