INCREASE IN THE WHALE FIsHERY.-We learn
from the best authority that between fifty and sixty
ships have this year been purchased for the whale
fishery. Upwards of twenty of these were bought
here; the remainder principally at the east Our
famous packets when they become too small for
packet service, go into the whale catching business
They are considered the best. One would imagine
that the fishery would be overdone, and such was
thought to be the case twenty years ago; yet the
business goes on increasing and fortunes continue
to be made, notwithstanding the introduction Of
lard oil and the increase in the use Of all sorts of
gas. We do, however, supply nearly all Europe, az
foreign whalers cannot compete with US in catch
ing the Monsters of the Deep" And it is fact
well worthy Of notice, that nearly all the French
and other foreign whale ships are oficered by
Americans.
