FIsHERIEs.-We learn, through. FRIEND that
during the week just ended, the fisheries on the
Susquehanna river and at the head of the Chesa-
peake did fair business for the season. At
the Old Bay, Brown, Carver & Co. caught, on
Saturday, FIVE hundred shad and forty or fifty
barrels of herring at a haul. At Point Concord,
Williams Green b Co. have been catching from
five to fifteen barrels of herring and from one to
two hundred shad at haul. On the Island,
opposite Havre de Grace, Coale & Bailey were
doing well. The floats above Havre de Grace
were catching, on Saturday, from forty to fifty
barrels of herring and from sixty to one hundred
shad at haul. And the same may be said Of
the floats and batteries below Havre de Grace,
with the exception of Amos Osborn, who is
said 10 be making much larger hauls. The
OILERS, too, have thus far succeeded well. They
are catching from one TO two hundred shad TO u
boat every night. The fish caught on the floats
and by the OILERS are generally taken to Havre
de Grace Perryville, Port Deposit and Lapi-
dun, for sale. We were informed to-day, that
shad were selling at from nineteen to twenty-five
dollars per hundred, and herring at six dollars
per barrel.
