THURSDAY, DECEMBER 3.The opinion ia prevalent that the whale fishery

in the North Pacific mu6t soon cease to be profit-

able, from the constant deetruction of so manywhales as are annually killed. It is supposedthat the number destroyed in this ocean uloneamounts to three thousand each year, lloweverplausible this theory may be, the annual de-

crease appears, from the observation of shipmas-

ters, to be quite immaterial. Tlie average catch-in- gs

of the ships which have returned to portwould appear to confirm this, for the average thisseason is rather better than last season, and variesbut little from that of the past four years.

Most of the ships comprising the North Pacificwhaling fleet having arrived, we give in thid issue

a summary of th"e BeasOtk'e work. Our table onthe fourth page has been carefully revised enderrors corrected, and will be found very complete.Some twenty or thirty vessels which were expectedhere this fall are reported ,soiiie as bound to otherparts, their northern cruises having been poor,while others are heard from as cruising on south-

ern grounds. There will probably not be morethan two or three arrivals from the North before

the 31st of December.The whole number of whale 6bips arriving at

these islands has been 105, as follows :

American, 149French, - - - - - -- 9

. . 3Hawaiian, - - - -Bremen and Oldenburg, - - - - 4

Of these 151 have been right whalers, and 14. .sj

sperm wuaiers ana trauers.The amount of oil and bone taken the past sea

son by 151 right whalers ia 127,539 barrels oiland 1,591,543 pounds bone, as will be seen by thefollowing table, which also shows the totals forprevious years. The average oAuantity of oil foreach 6hip (which includes American, 'French,Bremen and Hawaiian,) is 845 barrels, and10,540 pounds of bone, which is an improve- -

ment over the average for 1856.

i s iz e o c ciThe weather at the North, during the ast sea-

son, has been unusually favorable for whaling,although on each of the grounds more or less badand foggy weather has been experienced. Twovessels have been reported as lost, tho Newton ofNew Bedford, and Indian Chiff of New London.It is 'feared, however, that the Caravan of NewBedford, which was last reported in April withlore of opmast3 and in a leaky condition, willbe added to the list. She was then bound to theOchotsk, but luis not been heard from by any ofthe shija arriving here' from all quarters of theNorth PaeiSc. It is still hoped tliat she mayhave put into some pott for repairs. "

Very few accidents have occurred during thepast season, and the rr'a"r8 required on vesselshave been loss than for several seasons past. .Anumber of ships are having their bows covered.with oak plank, as an extra protection againstthe ice. In former seasons, the loss of anchorscaused a heavy bill of expense, but during thepast summer very few anchors have been lost.We have heard of but four or five anchors lost.

By frequent conversations with captains, wehave learned some facta in regard to the differentgrounds, which will, perhaps, bo worth record-ing :

The Kodiack, Sea. This favorite whalingground, located nearest to the Islands, is gener--erally visited earliest in the spring, owing to theabsence' of ice. . The vessels that visited it in 1856having done well; a larger number than usualcruised on it this season. It is thought thatabout 60 ships cruised then), and the averageamount of oil taken by them is not far from 500barrels. The General Williams of New London,is reported to have been the first vessel on theground, having arrived there early in March.Tho first whale was taken this season on the 10thof April by the Eaerald, which took her secondwhale on the 2Gth of April. Most of the whalestaken were killed during May and June, but theywere at no time abundant, and appear to haveleft the sea by the first of July. During thismonth a few vessels left for these islands, but thengreater part of them sailed for Bristol Bay, wherethey cruised for a few weeks and improved their

icbin some 200 or 300 barrels. The largestwhr'e reported to have been taken this season was( ipiared by the Emerald. It wx.i a fxt male,

which mada the North Paci ' --o famous far itfrhery from 1850 to 1854. captiins whotaTe had the best opportunity for kr owing, be-

lieve that the Gild open sea which Kaneered, is the nursery of the whale ; la which im-

penetrable resort they breed and thrive, unmo-

lested by the attacks of the whalemen, except a5

they leave their fastness. It is; not improbablethat the food on which the whale feeds is' pro-

duced in sufficient quantities in this polar sea tosupply the vast numbers of whales supposed toexist there. The superior size of these Arcticwhales would indicate that they have some secureresort where they are free from capture.

During the years 1855 and 1856, this groundwas visited by only one or two straggling ships,which came away only to report disappointmentand ill-luc- k. This year, 1857, we hear of fourships visiting the sea, one of which (the IndianChief) was lost. Three others, the J. D. Thomp-

son, South America and Nassau, took an averag1of about 1100 barrels and reported whales veryplenty, but the weather rough. Capt. Walkerot the South America, reports that for three weekshe was obliged to lay to in a gale with reefed topsails, during which tunc ho saw thousands ofwlialcs ;

' and had he had one week of goodweather he could have filled his ship. All thereports confirm the abundance of whales iu thesea. Capt. Walker cruised as high as 71 30without meeting any serious obstructions fromthe ice. It is quite likely that the Arctic Oceanwill next season be visited by a large fleet ofships.

The Ocuotsk Ska. This still remains the bestwhaling ground in the North Pacific. We havenot yet been able to.procure the exact average ofthe catch on this ground for 18o : but as near aswe can estimate, it is over 900 bbls. to each shipThe India and Josephine were the two first vesselson this ground, both arriving about the 25th ofMarch. Ninety ships cruised in the Ochotsk.The ice is reported to have broken up unusuallyearly, but no whales were 6een,t:ll May, duringwhich month a few were taken.' .-- The. month ofJune was so foggy that little or no whaling wasdone. Most ot the whales were taken duringJuly, and from that to the end of the season. Informer years, July has been considered tho worstmonth for whaling in this sea, but this year Junewas. In their resorts tho whales appear verychangeable. In some bays where last .year theywere abundant, . this year not one was seen.Whales have been plenty in the sea, but not so

' much so ns in former seasons.On tho whole, the seuson of 1857 will be con

sidered as a cood one. Thoujrh tho 'average ofoil taken is only about the same as for 18oG, yettho high price which bono has reached and whichwill probably be realized for most of this season'scatch, will make the returns for 1S57 fully equalto those of any former vear. Add to this the factthat few accidents have occurred, while the expenses of Bhips in port have been comparativelylight, owing to the abundant supply of all kindsof recruits, 6onie of which have been furnished atlower prices than could be had in New Bedford,and also that exchange has been comparativelylow, and it will bo conceded that the whalingseason of 1857 is one-o- f the bett on record.

The report which was brought to the Islands inSeptember, by the schooner San Diego, that theRussian authorities had forbidden the whale fishery in their waters proves to have been premature.None of the captains with whom we have conversed heard any such report, though several ofthem had baen into the port of Avan, where theGovernor residt?s, which is a station for Russianwar vessels. On the contrary, a number of whateswere taken by several ships in that harbor,without any remonstrance from the authorities.It is possible that the Russian government mayhave entertained the project of forbidding thowhale fishery in their bays, but it will not belikely to enforce it without first giving official notice to tho French and American governments.

Salvc far the Wounded.

Everybody bus more or less self esteem thatis, everybody who is anybody everybody whomaintains a respectable and honorable jositionamong his fellow men; and it is a fact, verymortifying to human vanity, that, in the variousphases of society we are frequently brought incontact with who rival, and perhaps surpass us in those very twints in which wo havedeemed ourselves pre-emine- nt. To be sure, weare rarely willim; to admit the superiority; butwhen compelled to acknowledge it, how pleasant.consolatory, and natural it is to cast some mentalstone at o-- r victorious neighbor to do our bestto injure him by some apparently trifling butnevertheless telling sarcasm

For example, supjtose you are present at anofficers' ball on board the sloop-of-w- ar St. Marys,and jour eyes, in tho midst of a delightful pilgrimage among the assembled gems of Honolulusociety, suddenly fall upon one of the most beauti-ful faces and figures in the world. The belle ofthe season is before you, and a willing captiveto her charms, you innocently turn to aneclipsed star at your side and ask : " Whose isthat angelic face? Who ts that lovely woman ?"Ten chances to one the reply will bo : " What !

do you mean that dressy creature in the pinksilk? Oh ! it's Miss So and so." " Dressy creature !" Angelic loveliness called a " dressy crea- -

ture!" Think of it! If you fo' lowed up yourremarks by, Is she not beautiful?" the unswerwould perhaps be, " Oh, she looks very wtll at aparty," or " Iler complexion is too coar3," or" The color on her cheeks is too nicely laid on ;"and in these skilfully turned inuendocs yourcompanion finds a capital salve for woundedvanity.

At another time you may accost in the street.an old whaling Captain, whose, ship his justreturned, light, from the season's cruise, and inthe course of conversation you remark that Cap--tain Such a one of the ship Jolly Cherub, has madea glorious voyage, bringing in two thousand bar-

rels of oil, and you don't know how many thousand pound? of bone. Very likely, unless he isan unusually liberal man, his reply will be shortand full of undeveloped seruons like this:"Well, luck does wonders for the lubbers!"And tho thermometer of his happiness, after this.hit at perhaps his best friend, goes up at once toboiling point.

This sort of Balve for wounded vanity is in dailyuse among all classes ot people ; but there isanother kind which is even more effectual ha somecases a sort of double-shotte- d salve, that inflictsa wound upon another at the same time that itcures your own. A husband, for instance, whosepocket refuses to disburse funds for the paymentof an exorbitant provision bill, requests ' his wifeto be Icms extravagant in her dishes ; and on thesame evening mentions that he has invited a friendor two to dine with him When tomorrow's dinner hour comes, behold, a singlejoint graces the board ; the display of vegetablesis limited to potatoes and squash ; and there is nopudding, because "eggs are so dear." If thehusband is a brave man he will, perhaps, afterthe guests ar a departed," allude to the poverty of I

the dinner, whereupon she unhesitatingly retorts :

Law, Mr. Emith, you tcliTe to lessen my expenses, and so I rre, Lnit yea are always findingfault j" arid in f v t y the rrrt only ejves herown vanity, tut 'asserts her ; rsd.the prob&till-- j u he will nsrrr.exli t bout an ez--

If r i fire a doctor And overLc:tol 2 Cie merits of rival physician, " it is u" capital card" to express regret," in a pityingsort of manner, that he is " so unfortunate withLis patients." This produces thedesired erTectatonce. It throws a doubt upon the ability of youropponent, and conveys the idea that you arealways fortunate with your patients besides

healing j'our own" wounded vanity; and if youare .sufficiently self possessed to follow up the at-

tack by mildly asking: Who was the poorwoman that died under his hands last week insuch excruciating tortures," your opponent isdone for at once, beyond all remedy.

We have mentioned a few only of many vari-

eties of this salve for wounded vanity. A capitalcure it is for present ills, but we think it injuriousto the constitution in the long run. .

NOTES OF THE WEK.Boaus Appropriations. Seventeen months Rgo,

the Hawaiian Legislature passed the Bill of Appro-priations for the years 1856-- 7, in which among otheritems of public improvements appears one for " buoysat Kawaihse, $300." This was an appropriationimperatively needed, as is known by every oneacquainted with the harbor of Kawaihae, and whenthe long list of " Public Improvements" was publish-ed in the Polynesian of June 14, 18o6, with anourish of trumpets, there were many , who werecredulous enough to suppose that this port, the importance of whose trade is annually increasing, wouldreceive the pittance of $300, in the shape of an anchorand buoys so much needed. But it seems that therewere too many other leaks of the ship of State, nearerhome, to allow of Hawaii being thought of, and theharbor of Kawaihae is still without the simple meansof preventing a vessel from going on shore, duringthe Kona" season. On the 10th ult. Cap'. Ben-il- l

in the Jtfapy hod a very narrow escape from ship-wreck. He was lying at anchor, engaged in takingin an unusually valuable freight, when the windveered to the southward, and ul though it was alightbreeze, a tremendous .sea rolled in, causing the Maryto drag. A second anchor wns let go, but withoutbringing her to, and the first chain parted. Hud it

I not been that Mr. Macy was fortftely possessed ofan anchor, whicu he promptly rurnisued, the juarywould inevitably have gone on shore and with herfreight, become a total loss; and this because thegovernment are either too careless or too penuriousto attend to the interests of the port. Capt. Berrillinforms us that he is ready to convey an anchor toKawaihne freight free whenever the govejmcnt willprovide one.

Laiiaixa. The JSIary L. Sutton completed hercargo at Lahaina, and sailed on the 23d Nov. for New

Bel ford, direct, having been just two months loading.She will not be far behind the firot ship at that port,from the Islands, of the homeward bound fleet. TheSutton has had little or no detention in obtaining orreceiving her freight on board, a good portion of ithaving been taken from the ships by hauling themalongside, and that with no damage worthy of , noteto cither vessel. She will probably have tho largstand most valuable cargo of oil and bone that has everleft these inlands, amounting iu value, at the lastquotations, to about $Co0,000, and it will probablyturn out in as good order as any cargo ever landed inNew Bedford from a merchant vessel The .1. L. S.was consigned to and loaded by Messrs. Gil man & Co.

Among the ships that have been alongside of theSutton, was the Brutus, Captain Henry, who hasshipped "all his oil, 2000 barrels, and about 30,000pounds of bono ; and while his ship was flying light,having no cargo on board, thoroughly repaired thedamages she had sustained by the ice last season I byresheathing p.nd putting on over one thousand sheetsof copper.

. There are tracts of marshy land throughout theseIslands, which are supposed to be worthless. Two

vears since, or more, some of this swamp land waspurchased by Dr. Wood, of Koloa, and drained fortho purpose of testing its applicability for growingcane. The cane produced was of an unparalleledgrowth, but so very watery that it was with difficultysugar could be made of it the product being mainlymolasses. This season shows an improvement in theexperiment." We have received from Mr. McGregor,the sugar boiler on the estate, samples of the cane anda keg of the sugar made from it, both of which aresuperior specimens, rew persons who have not visited the locality are aware of the labor required onthis marsh. The ground is so soft that it wilf notbear an ox team and cart load, so that railways haveto be laid through the field, and the cane transportedon them to the side of the marsh, causing a double,and in some cases a triple, 'handling of the cane.Tho experiment of bringing these hitherto worthlesstracts into use is, however, successful 4 and we haveno doubt that in other localities the same successwould be met The swamps of Waikiki could probably be reclaimed for cane culture.

Water Pipes. The obstruction which occurred inthe pipes some two weeks since, and which nearly shutoff the supply of water, was found on boring to havebeen caused by shrimp, which had nearly filled the

Strong's ministry here, eight members have been' dismissed or died, leaving a gain of eighteen in the

whole number of the church. During this period achurch edifice, costing about $15,000, has also beenerected, and the average congregation, as found fromCareful and frequent enumerations has been neatlydoubled. After accepting his resignation at one ofthe largest meetings of the "church and congrega-

"Resolved, That we appreciate and greatly valuethe pulpit abilities of our Pastor, the Rev. J. D.

Doubts having been expressed to us by severalAmerican shipmasters as to the right of the HawaiianGovernment to interfere with, their ships or crews aftera final clearance from the customs and departure beyond the territory of the kingdom, if they returnwithin a marine league,' with no purpose of doingbusiness, we addressed a note on the subject to nonlD. L. Gregg, TJ.- - S.- - Commissioner, believing that hisopinion would-b- e satisfactory to the parties interested, and have received the following reply, whichis clear and explicit : ' ,

Uniheo States Legation,... Honolulu, Nov. 24, 1357, J

Dear Sir : Your note of the 21st inst was deliv-ered to me last evening, ta reply, I have the honorto observe that in my judgment there is but littledoubt as to the rule which must govern in such casesas you mention. . .

It is unquestionably a weil settled principle of international Jaw that " the maritime territory of everyState extends to the ports, harbors, bays, mouths ofrivers and adjacent parts cf the sea enclosed by head-

lands belonging to the sioie State. The generalusage of nations superadds to this extent of territorialjurisdiction a distance of a marine league, or as faras a cannon shot vfiil reach from the shore along thecoasts of the State. , VI hum tsese limits its RiairraOF property and of territobiax jurisdiction areABSOLUTE ASn EXfUTDK T309B OF EVERT OTHER NA-

TION." (See Wheaton's Elements of InternationalLaw, p. 233, GthMd., and the authorities there cited.

It seems to follow most clearly from the principle.thus laid down which is recc-i- i. I by all respectable publicists that the municip&I 1 thorityof an in-

dependent State extends to the disUxce of a marineleague from' its shores. '. Upon the Bea such authorityis so far as full and direct as on terra firma.

The Supreme Court of t' e United States has heldthis doctrine to be ' -- 3. 7 Crunch, 116.

These are toy views of the subject presented in

your note, and on such a question, I do not suppose

there can be any dispute among intelligent lawyers." I remain, very truly,

Your Obedient Servant, '

. David L. Greoo.

"Morality sT Whnllua Caftoias aatsl Versusltyf Mr. GulicU."

Mr. Editor - Justice to Dr. Gulick seems to re-

quire that the -- article in your paper with this head-

ing should receive some notice. . You will not refuse- to admit a few words on the other side of the ques-

tion, from one who feels a sympathy for an absent

friend so severely assailed. '-

t Let us look a moment at the statements of "llanyShipmasters." Dr. G. says, first: Yoor propertyand agents have been active in promoting the basestintemperance." It is admitted that some ships freely

traffic at those islands in distilled spirits. To do thiseven among a civilized people, is regarded by thetemperance men at the present day as being " active

in promoting intemperance "hew muoh more to do

it among a heathen people,- - who have no moral con-

trol over their appetites ? But this is all that is as-

serted or implied in Dr. G.'s letter. If this traffic is

right and prajsjaBBsjKiined by " Many Ship-

masters," (we hope not by all.) it can certainly be noslander to make it known to the world.

2. " Ships are unblushingly peopled, from forecas-

tle to cabin, with those who only gather there forsin." It is acknowledged by Many Shipmasters,"that natives of both sexes do visit vessels, and thatnnon those visits occasional imnroDrieties take place.What does this Ianguag(pnp"the sameJVnpr Jasserted by Dr. u. courTiriitue s.:

But this also isJustified by ' Many Shipon the groun-Kln- at to do otherwise would be re--garded fne natives as evidence of hostility on thepart of The ships, and would throw serious embarrassments in the way of obtaining the requisite sup-

plies.' Can this be so ? The writer has just seen aletter from Nanakin, the principal ruler of the Kittietribe, where most of the whaleships touch, written inhis own language, in which he requests that a certainAmerican be removed from the island, because,among other things, he is engaged iu procuring

.women for bad purposes. This Nanakin has moreauthority than any other man in the tribe, and probably more than all others together. Would he refuseto furnish supplies to ships because women are notfreely admitted on board ?

It seems, from the above, that the material facts inDr.. G.'s letter are admitted by- - " Many Shipmasters." How far, and in what way, it is expedientand proper to make these facts known to the world,is a matter about which men will differ. .

It is certain that the Savior and his apostles borepublio testimony against the wickedness of men,They surely cannot be accused of malignity andslander. We must look for some other motive inthem. " But me it hateth, says our Savior,

because I testify of it, that the works thereof areevil." I only add : " It is enough for the disciplethat he be as his Master."

4

It seemed to the writer that the above remarkswere due to Dr. . Gulick, who has been so freely accused of falsehood and slander in your paper.

Some of the shipmasters visiting MWroncsia arenot implicated in the statements made in Dr. G.'sletter. So we are informed in this very letter andother letters from those islands, and it is to be hopedsuch shipmasters will not regard themselves as implicated. . ,

, Amicus.

To V.," of tub Polynesian : Having longsince adopted and advocated the doctrine that thethings of this world were created for the use of man,aud that he was especially adapted by his constitution, physical, intellectual and moral, as a Christian,to enjoy them, and that there " is no virtue " without temptation, I commend to the public the sentiments of the articlo in the Polynesian of the 28thult, based upon the recent tragedy in which MissMadeline Smith is the heroine, as worthy of approval,and I have nothing to add upon the subject thereincommented upon, except to declare that its author isin error in supposing that his views are not inu'nisonwith a largo majority of the foreign ChrisinSofHonolulu, and that their promulgation by any pastorwould not meet with the approval of his church.

My only object in referring to-- the article in thePolynesia-")- , is to correct an error into which its au-

thor has fallen, with many others, that " a certainchurch in Honolulu cauie to one of those criseswhich, in secular language, are called loggerheads,"because " their pastor went so far......as to assert thatwhat was natural need not necessarily be bad ; thatthe Creator has endowed young things with the feel-

ings and proclivities proper to the part they are destined to take iu the great schethe of existence," &c

I would by no means charge the author with intentional misrepresentation far from it for he givespublicity to what he attributes the cause of the " log-gerheads'" with the saving expression, unless Iam misinformed "it is only my purpose to put himand others right by the positive declaration that 1- -

. , '1 .1 -nuu tuey are misintormeu. . r -The pastor to whom reference is made, divulg-

ing no secret," lakes to himself the credit of havingresisted the inllueuce of an intended bribe, (a gra-tuity bestowed upon him as. a New Year's gift by oneof his church,) for tb xpose of inducing him topreach upon the subject v amusements, and it cannottherefore be his fault that an erroneous impression isabroad ; that his liberal views, that laughter andlocomotion are as necessary to establish pare mindsas they are to secure healthy lungs," has put him atloggerheads with his church. He is acquitted therefore of diverting the public mind by a side skirmishgrowing out of a difference of opinion on the subjectof domestic education.

The proximate cause of the " loggerheads " (whichis much to be regretted) was a difference in the feelings of the church and pastor upon altogether another matter. The church, believing and actingupon the belief that the gospel taught 'ove aad fel-lowship l0ve to God and love to man were ecllci- -tous of cultivating thco f 'ings in union sorvL .zwith the Bethel and 11. churches.
