NAVIGATION OF BEHRISG'S STRAITS.

The following document was communicated to the
United States Senate by the secretary of the navy, in
reply to a resolution of that body:—
Navy Department, April 5, 1852.

" Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt
of the Senate's resolution, adopted on the 22d ultimo,
calling upon ' the secretary of the navy' to communicate
to the Senate his opiniun of the expediency of a
reconnoisance of the routes of navigation in the
northern seas and in the China and Japan seas,
and whether any vessel belonging to the service
can be used for that purpose ; and also what would
be the expense of such a reconnoisance? So far
as regards the expediency of the reconnoisance re-
ferred to in the resolution, I find that the files
of this department contains a carefully prepared dis-
cussion of the subject by the Superintendent of the
National Observatory, of the date of December 3, ISSI,
confinel, however, to the value and importance of the
whale fishery in the Auadir, Ochotslc, and Arctic seas,
as the whaling grounds in the regions about Behring's
Straits aro called, from which I beg leave to furnish the
following extracts:—
" In the summer of 1848, Captain Roys, of the whale-
ship Superior, penetrated the Arctic cean, through
Behring's Straits, and encountered in his adventurous
pursuits all the dangers of an unknown Polar sea. lie
was successful in his enterprise, filling his ship with oil
in a few weeks. Influenced by the report which he
brought back as to the abundance of whales, owners
in the United States fitted out a large fleet for those
grounds, and in 1849 Capt. Roys was followed by 154 sail
of whale ships, each vessel (said to be) worth on the aver-
age with her outfit, 30,000 dole., and manned by 30 able-
bodied seamen each. This fleet took that season 206,850
barrels of whale oil, and 2,461,600 lbs. of bone. In the
summer of 1850 there went up a whaling fleet of 144
American vessels, manned as above, and of a like ave-
rage value. This fleet, in the course of the few weeks
left for their pursuits in those inhospitable regions, took
243,630 barrels of whale oil, and 3,654,000 lbs. of bone.
In the current year (1851) there went up a fleet of
about 145 American vessels, but their accounts have not
yet been received ; partial accounts of wreck and disas-
ter only have reached us—they are startling. The lives
1 and property at stake there for the two years for which
we have complete returns may be thus stated

"The losses during the year 1851, have been unpre•
cedented, so far as hoard from. No less than seven
sail of this fine fleet of 1851—the Howqua, the New
Bedford, the Arabella, the America, the Armsta, the
Mary Mitchell, and the Henry Thompson, have been
wrecked there, and left behind as monuments of the
dangers which meet these hardy mariners in their ad-
venturous calling. There are reports of other losses
and wrecks. These are certain ; and though several of
them were lost, not on shoals, but otherwise, yet these
are enough to tell of imperfect hydography, and to
show the national importance of looking to it ;
for it may be so, that in case of loss in the ice,
the knowledge of a sheltered anchorage near, and
which a survey would give, svould have prevented
i
the exposure to the ice which induced the loss. All
our commerce with what is called ' the East,' is not so
valuable as this was for 1849 and 1850. We see, by
the above statistics, that in these two years more
American seamen were engaged in that small district
of ocean than are employed in our whole navy at one
time ; that in these two years these hardy mariners
fished up from the bottom of the sea, and, by their own
energy, created and added to the national wealth the
value of more than eight millions of dollars. And we,
moreover, see, that owing to the dangers of the land
and ice, the bidden rock and unknown shoals, one
vessel in every 20 that went therein during the sum-
mer of 1851 has been left behind a total wreck, and
that the lives of their crews, of not less that one man
for every 20, engaged in that business, have been put
in jeopardy, mostly from the want of proper charts.
No protection that our squadrons can at this mo-
ment give to our commerce, with any of the states of
Christendom, can compare with that which a good chart
of that part of the ocean would afford to this nursery of
American seamen, and to this branch of national indus-
try. I learn that in lat. 64 deg. 15 min. N, long. 178
min. W, Captain Middleton, of the barque Tenedos, of
New London, discovered a shoal, having only 8 feet of
water on it, and which was two acres in extent; that the
ship Ajax, of Havre, was lost on a rock, south of the
Tile of St. Lawrence, 10 miles from land; that the entire
fleet of whalemen in the Arctic Ocean complain much
that charts are wrong, that the coast is badly explored,
but little known, &c.; that several of our vesseli have
been near being wrecked, by unexpectedly making land
or rocks under the boys at night;' that they have found in
the Arctic circle low sand-spits, extending five or six miles
out; that also 'in Ochotsk Sea there are hidden dangers;'
that the Hoe-qua, in 1851, was totally wrecked on a
sunken rock in that sea.' I am also informed that the
Indians are very friendly ; that they wanted to trade:
that the whalemen frequently went on shore, &o.; that
Captain Taylor brought specimens of ores of met al from
the Arctic shore;' that ho obtained information from
the natives of the existence of gold amongst them, as also
iron;' that when shown implements of various kinds.
they gave him to understand, plenty in the mountain.'
Such was also the case with the gold- They knew the
metal, and pointed at such existing amongst there.
" With these facts before the department, I have no
hesitation in expressiug an opinion favourable to the
measure suggested in the resolution, nor in recommend-
ing such a reconnoisance and surveys as will establish
accurately the positions of prominent capes, bays, head-
lands, and harbours. To fix the position of the rocks
and shoals that endanger the navigation there, and to
examine the Fox or Aleutian Islands, would be a work
of two or three properly appointed vessels only for a
short time. When the season is closed for these lati-
tudes, the same vessels could be most beneficially em-
ployed in an examination of the seas of China and Japan,
and the regions thereabout, whose hydrography is so
defective and an accurate knowledge of which is becom-
ing every day of more and more importance.
"In reply to the latter cause of the resolution, viz.,—
' Whether any vessels belonging to the service can
be used for that purpose, and also what would be the
expense of such a reconnoisance?' I respectfully
state that this department has not at its command
the vessels necessary for the contemplated service, un-
less by reducing the number of our vessels attached to
squadrons on foreign service, which I by no means re-
commend. lam of opinion that the necessary vessels can
be built at our navy yards, or purchased for a sum not
exceeding 125,000 do's., and that no additional appropri-
ation beyond that sum need be made. The wear and tear
of the vessels, the pay of the officers and crow, stores, pro-
visions, instruments, Occ., can be provided for out of car-
rent appropriations. The accompanying report from the
chief of the Bureau of Ordnance and Hydrography,
and papers prepared by Commander Ringgold and Lieu-
tenants Maury and Page, are respectfully submitted, as
throwing additional light upon the subject.
" I have the honour to be, very respectfully,
" Your obedient servant,
"W. A. GRAHAM.

A JUVENILE FORGER.—John Ilildeth, an intelligent-
looking lad, about fourteen years of age, was committed
for trial at the Liverpool police-court on Wednesday, on
a charge of forgery. In the afternoon of Tuesday the
prisoner, who held the situation of errand-boy in ass
office of Mr. Charles Eseitmair, called at the Royal Bank
where his employer had business transactions, and pre-
sented a cheque for 51. 2.a., which was paid him. Sus-
pecting that something was wrong, one ;:if the bank
clerks sent notice of the fact to Mr. Kreitman-, who found
that the boy had forged his signature very cleverly. He
said nothing to the prisoner about the forgery, but sent
him with a note to the Royal Bank, where ho was given
into custody. The prisoner made no defence.
THE MINOR PRESIDENCIES OF INDIA.--Tl2O Govern-
ments of the minor Presidencies, are entirely at the
mercy of the Supreme Executive. Lord E
. i Iphnstone has
explained this very satisfactorily. Opinion settled on
the point of the independence of the minor Presidencies.
If they are to be good for anything, they ought not to be
kept in leading strings. Emancipate the :benighted from
the paralyzing influence of the supreme Government,
and from the incubus of its local Council, and it will
soon take the lead in every thing calculated to raise the
character of the people, and to improve the prospects of
the country.
CUSTOMS DUTIES.—The Customs duties of Ireland
in 1841 were 1,999,257/., and in 1850 they had fallen to
1,827,2891.; the Excise duties in 1841 were 1,097,9181.,
and. in 1850 they only rose to 1,312,1231. ; the stamp
duties were 425,7711., and, with an increase of amount
of 25 per cont., in 1850 they produced but 462,6914
FORGERY AT THE BANK OF MESSRS. LOYD, EN•
TWISTLK AND Co.—Yes'erday, a man named Grundy was
charged, at the Manchester Borough Court, with uttering a
forged cheque for 15;1. 28 4d, at the bank of Messrs. Loyd,
Entwistle, and Co. The prisoner was committed for trial.

31ARKET INTELLIGENCE.

_From the London New Price Current of October 22.)
SUGAR.-To. flay there was a decrease in demand for
West India Sugar for all purposes, yet previous rates are
sustained for all sorts. Operations are only 308 hhd,
&c., including at auction GO Wade Dsmeeara crystalized,
which realized 38s 6d to 41s for good to fine. Total pur-
chases for the week aro 3,030 hhds &c.

per cwt. Crushed in good demand by exporters, and
British is not to be obtained under 283 6d per cwt.
MAURITIUS.-This afternoon several parcels of Mauri-
tius sugar were sold privately at full rates. The quantity
offered at auction was trifling.
MOLASSES.-There is yet a brisk demand for West
India, and rates are on the rise. Since our last report,
700 pans have been sold, Antigua at 15s, St. Vincents
14s to 14s 6d, and other sorts 13s to 13s 63. Bengal and
Mauritius wanted at 12s Gd, Cuba and Porto Rico 14a

for Madras Sugar, and at auction 2,600 bags were sold :
soft brown at 23s to 275; low to mid yellow ditto, 27s ad
to 28s 6d.
FOREIGN.-To-day busin2S3 of moment was prevented
in Foreign Sugar by a scanty supply. There are many
home and export buyers at full former rates.
COFFEE.-This afternoon the public sales of Tellicherry
Coffee went at high rates, and 100 cases 300 bags were sold
fine and very fine at 725. to 88s; other sorts 56s to 70s,
triaao 45s to 545; 224 bags Madras, ord to good ord 44s

58 brls, and 108 Brarls wore partly sold at former value,
good to tine at 82s 63 to 89s Gd, triage 44s to 645, the
rest was taken in at 75s for ungarbled from Alexandria.
In Native little was done privately, yet good ord cannot
be obtained under 475. A good demand for Plantation,
land the former rise is sustained for all sorts. At auc-
tion 120 casks were sold, low to mid at 563 to 57s 6d,
fine to fine fine ord 50s to 555, and triage 43s Gil to 493
per cwt.
SP:CM-Cassia Lignea is wanted, but the still prices
required much infers with business. At auction the
sound of 1,600 boxes was taken in at 120 a to 1303, da-
maged and broken selling at 1163 to 119 s. At auction
1,400 bags of Malabar pepper sold at 4Ad for heavy, and
damaged aid to 4d; 258 bags pimento 5i3 to id, and
damaged 54-d to s:tl per lb, being full rates.
INDIGO.-The October series of quarterly sales which
commenced on the 6th inst., terminated on Wednesday.
The total declarations amounted to 20,933 chests, of

2,070 chests in catalogue B, comprising 18,200 Bengal
and Benares, 600 Oaths, and 200 Madras and Kurpab.
RIOE.-To-day East India Rice met with much atten-
tion, and realized full rates. At auction 4,300 bags
Bengal sold at 103 6d to Ils for low white rather broken,
and at 4s 6d to Ils for damaged.
TALLOW.-The small public sales went at stiff rates;
160 pkgs South American at 41s to 435, 60 cks Aus-
tralian 42s to 435, 40 bxs East India 40s to 435, 20 cks
Belgian 39a 6d to 41s 6d, and 45 ohs Italian 423 to
43s 6d. Stock is far less than last year, and likely so to
remain.
Rum, BRANDY, & HOLLANDS.-There is no advance
for Jamaica Rum supply being plentiful, yet a good
home and export trade prevails. Superior marks 36 to
39 per cent over proof real zed 3s 6d to 43, tine
2s 10d to 3s 411 ; 33 to 36 over-good mid to
;pod 2s 5d to 2s 9d, and mid 30 to 33 over 2s
2d to 2s 4d per gallon. Offers for large parcels have
been refused rather under these terms. Leeward Island
has been dealt in with more freedom, and rates are firm
at is 50 to is 6d proof, fine brown ditto is 6d, and
there is yet a Posited supply. East India has been pur-
chased to a fair extent at is 5d to is Sid proof, and
stock is light. Of Demerara many parcels have been
sold at
.2s to 2s 3d for 32 to 40 over proof, chiefly at
2s Id to 2s 3d. Havannah wanted at Is 4d to is 4id

India 3600 puns, &o. larger than last season; but there
is a deficiency in East India of 2,500.
TEA.-Important purchases continue to be made in
lower sorts of Congou, both for home consumption and
exportation; there is also a further improvement of id,
making a rise for the month l4d to 11c1 per lb. Better
kinds have been largely dealt in, and there is a small
rise. Of all qualities supply is less than previously.
Prices for low to good ord sound rale at Sid to 10J,
rather blackish 'eat to blackish leaf 101 d to I lid, strong
and Pekoe kinds Ili(' to Is 6d. Pouchong has been
much enquired for at 7d to lid, and a few parcels can be
obtained. Oolong is wanted, and the currency is firm-
fine at is 53 to is 9d, good is 2d to la 43, low to mid
10d to Is. Shouchong has been in excellent request,
and rates are improving, fine selling at is 7d to
ls 10c1, good Is 2d to is 6d, common to middling
103 to is Id. Purchases have been on a large scale
in better sorts of Green, together with a small advance,
