trade between this place and the port of London ; this, however, was only the cafe in the 
winter months, as there were always a good many more well-veflels employed in the funi- 
mer for the purpofe of fupplying the London market. Thefe veffels were in general about 
forty tons burden each, and, for the mof part, belonged to Harwich and Gravefend ; and, as 
they came here folely on account of the falmon-trade, they always went away again at the 
clofe of the fifhing feafon, and ‘two of the largeft remained all the winter, for the purpofe 
before mentioned. Thus it appears, that at the ebove period, there were no veilels belonging 
to Berwick for carrying falmon to London; at pretent there are twenty-one f{macks employ- 
ed by two fhipping companies of this placc.in that trade, and in carrying other goods to and 
from London and Leith: the fmacks are from 60 to 140 tons, and fome of them are con- 
fru€ted with wells for carrying trouts alive. ‘ihe Leith trade was firft entered into by the 
Union Company, in June, 1796, and the Old Company followed the example in February, 
1797. The value of the falmon fithery bere will appear from the following tolerable exact 
flatement. The yearly rental of the fifheries in the Tweed, for the courfe of a few miles, 
amounts toe between £.7 and 8000, in which, between 75 and 8 beats, with about 300 mea, 
are conftantly employed during the fithing, between the 16th of January and 1eth of October. 
There has been known to have been 40,060 kits or upwards fent from this town in the courte 
of the featon, befides a vaft yuantity of falmion-tronts fent alive to London; the number of 
kits has not been fo great for a few years paft, owing to the method of fending great quantities 
of falmon frefh to London, during ali the fummer feafon, packed in ice, collected in winter, 
and preterved through the whole fummer for that purpofe. 
The Greenland fifoery this featon has been pretty fuccefsful : the following is the laft report 
re{pecting the London fhips there : Britannia 1o fifh, Briffet 3, Ipfwich 13, Edward 7, Livety

of oil, Dundee 4, and Prince of Wales 5.
