News FROM THE WHALE FISHEET.--FUTLber intel-
ligence has this week been received from the whaling
grounds in Davis' Straits, by the arrival of the Dundee
Whale Fishing Company's screw whaler, the Narwhal,
Captain George Deuchars, which vessel arrived on
Monday afternoon. She left the fishing ground on the
23rd of September, and Sirral head on the 24th, and saw
the Chieftain, of Kirkcaldy, and the St. Andrew, of
Aberdeen, lying there in at the bar. The number of
whales seen during the present tishing season has not
been very great, although the number taken has been
more than usually large compared with those of recent
years. The Narwhal caught 13 fish, and brings 13)
tons of oil and about 8 tons of whalebone. The Nar-
whal brings house news of the total loss of the whaling
ship Ads ice, of Dundee, Captain Walker, belonging to
the Tay Whale Fishing Company, which happened
shout 1 o'clock in the morning of the 23rd of July, in
the ice, at which time she had 1 11l tuns of oil. The
vesisl had been completely squeezed by the pressure of
two flues of ice, between which she had been caught.
The crew were compelled to take refuge on the ice, and
we believe have saved • portion of their clothing and
other property which was on board. They remained 48
hours in this desolate position, after which they were
picked up by the Emma, of Hull. The weather is
reported to have been very foggy at the time the vessel
was lost; and the ice was very heavy, and is said to
have been from nine to eleven feet thick.
