eons of Mr. Kebble, plumber and painter, ihnowvirest,

Greenwich. On reaching Bugshy's Hole, off Rotherhitimu

of the brig Mary Watson from his perilous position, be
being unable to manage the bout, and she tepidly filling.

lAocholv death happened yesterday, in the family of the
Rev. Wm. Reynolds, superinteudeut minister of the New
Compexioe North Circuit, Halifax, by a son, aged about
13 vain, sad named William Henry Reynolds, being
acciaestally hapged. It appears that the deceased was
seat by the mother yesterday morning to open the upper
portion of the library window, in the third story
ef the hones. In order to do ea the youth seems to have
stood upon a box, which was situated a little to one side of
the window ; sad the belief is that in polling at the sash be
slipped A the box, sod his silk neekcloth caught hold of •
hook or peg in the window casement. and he was thereby

est table, • little sister went in march of him, and

Reynolds was not at home at the time. but about two hours

ENORMOUS CAETURN or WHALE:A—OH Tuesday,
the Mth i•MMIT; • large shoal of "acing" whales were
sees approacklag the land in the direction of Whiteness.
Thewelem= news nee spread soil beats were quickly
manned by brave men of all classes, fully equipped with
hellions's, Mom, ,lc to do battle with these monsters of
the sleep. Undaunted by want of enemas and the incle-
mency of the weather, after considerable delay, the men
succeeded in bringing the pack into the Vise of Weis-
dale. When they got into shallow and muddy
water, thou maailents finding some difficulty in
hunting them, and, no doubt, wishing to enjoy
the whole instead of two-thinle of the proceeds of
their capture, commenced to attack them at sea. The boats
berme numerous, the whales close together, and, it is none.
osseary to add, the men most dexterous in the use of the
various instruments of death, is • short time the whole pack
was, with few exceptions, either killed or wounded. After
being killed, the animals were geosrally toned ashore, but
many escaped wounded from their captors, and, dying from
their imam* mask. After a lapse of twenty-four boors
their camases reappeared on the marina, sod, being picked
up, were larded at places most convealist for their
captors. Owing to tho greet number of places at
which they are lauded, aad the great distances
they are from each other, it is impartible as yet to
say the exact number captured. Some reports fix it at
shout :NO, others at 2170 ; but probably MO or 400 is more
correct. In the affray several busts were own in, aodothen
' completely smashed erg their crews thrown into the sea;
but, fortunately, all the men were rescued immediately,
and nothing serious was the result. The news of this large
capture of whales crested considerable excitement in Ler-
wick, and on Saturday several gentlemen proceeded to
Wendel*, some on bosom sad others on pleasure, amongst
whom were some palest riflemen, who had determined to
' try the effect el their Beheld balls on the monsters of the
deep, but were valcetlashsly too Lito.—Meslead
