STEWART'S ISLAND FISHERT.
Some time since we intimated that the establishment of a Stewart's Island Pishing Company was contemplated. The gentlemen who first initiated the movement wisely resolved not to put the project before the public until at their own cost they had proved the feasibility of the scheme. They have gone to work in right earneit, and we have the satisfaction of knowing that between three and four tons of haddocks, rock cod, and other choice fish has been exported. They are carefully packed in casks and from personal examination we can express ! an opinion that they are well- cured, and will arrive at Melbourne and the West Coast, the markets which it is proposed in the first instance to test, in an excellent state of preservation. There is every reason to believe that, the undertaking will prove a success. Great credit is due to Mr. John Wright, the agent of the company, for the persevering energy he has displayed, and we hope that he will hare the satisfaction of finding the little company of to-day a gigantic association at no distant period.
