Matters have been so far settled that an Act of Incor- poration has been applied for,and will be brought under the notice of the Legis- lature at an early day,nnd we have every reason to believe that it will meet with a favourable reception. The capital is stated to be £|00,000.”— Gazette. We have no doubt that the information of our contemporary is correct, and that the Fisheries will indeed meet with a fa- vorable reception by our Legislature.— Much depends on the nature of their res- ponse to this boon, (as we may justly term it), and as much tnore on tho part of the tnercantile cotnmunity. \Ve are buta stranger in this land—we wish it well-- and whatever may be done to advance this great object, we hope that it may now be effected in good earnest.
