'I'The fishermen of Arklow bave been long remarkable for the perseverance and industry with which they have pursued their hazardous calling, whereby they are euabled to support, in humbile comfort, a numerous and hardy race. This season, however, the herrings have totally deserted the bay and coast of ArkWow, ar.d the fishermen have been obliged, in consequence, to sail towards the north, where they have been detained for some time from their nu. mnerous families, who, having no means of subsistence in the ab- sence of tbeir providers, are now suffering fromt want of the common necessaries of life; and oxt of a population of 3,000 persons of which the town consists, thereareupwardsof l,20t.who are totally destitute !

'The activity of trade at Nottingham at this time surpasses all precelent. Thedemand for net lace, principally by French pur- chasers, who come over for the purpose of stocking themselvas with it, is beyond all calculation.

The requisition for smiths in Nottingbam, to make the necessary frames, is very Freat, and the population of the town is surprisingly increasing. 'Within a short time past a company of a few individuals p.urchased 16 acres of land, in a par~il twvo miles and a half from Nottingham, at tbe price of 16,tl0Dl.; and the present seller a fewyears ago made the same purchase for as many hlundred poutnds. The purpose of the. company istobutld on the ground small tenemcnts for the manufac- turers; it ir. said that 3,000 uch houses wll be erected as woon as passble.
