not to be atoned for by the mere payment of a fine. As
a salutary caution to him, therefore, as well as to others
of his class, he should order him to be committed for
fourteen days.
The decision of the magistrate appeared rather to
startle the " gents" sad sympathisers, by whom the court
was crowded during the proceedings.

MARYLEBONE.— William Baker, only eleven years
old, was charged with having caused the death of his
brother Charles, aged fourteen, by throwing at him a
dessert knife, and thereby stabbing him in the side,
It appeared from the
.evidence that on Friday after-
noon last the deceased was teasing his brother (the pri-
soner). and hit him many times with great force upon
the back with a saucepan lid, upon which he (prisoner)
threw at him a knife, which perforated his left side.
Deceased ran down stairs bleeding, and was conveyed in
an exhausted condition to St. Mary's Hospital, Padding-
ton, in which institution he lingered for a time, and ulti-
mately died. Medical evidence showed that the knife
had penetrated the cavity of the lungs; internal hemorr-
hage occasioned by the wound was the cause of death.
The prisoner was remanded till next Monday.

WORSHIP STREET.—A respectably dressed per-
son, named Thomas Hardwicke, who was stated to be a
schoolmaster, wss charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt, with
baying violently assaulted an elderly lady, named Payne,
residing in Mare-street, Hackney, and also with having
threatened the lives of her husband, and other members
of the family.
It appeared from the evidence of Mrs. Payne, that
she had formerly been upon intimate terms with the
prisoner, who had paid his addresses to one of her
daughters, but in consequence of certain disclosures
they found it necessary to forbid him their house, and
decline all further correspondence with him. The pri-
soner had since then made repeated efforts to induce
them to alter their determination, but without effect,
and on the preceding evening he called at their house
in a state of extreme excitement, and peremptorily in-
sisted upon an immediate interview with her daughter.
It having been intimated to him by the sister of the
young lady that ho could not see her, the prisoner, after
assailing her with the most offensive and threatening
epithets, demanded to speak with her father, and on
learning that he was from home, declared with an oath
that he would lay in wait for him, and take summary
vengeance for the injurious treatment to which ho had
been subjected. The prisoner then left, but about an hour
afterwards they were alarmed by a violent ringing at
the hall bell, and the door was no sooner opened than
the prisoner rushed in, and attempted to force his way
into the room in which her daughter was seated; but
witness placed herself before him, and was attempting to
oppose his entrance, when he struck her heavy blow on
the aide, from the effects of which she was still suffering,
at the same time expressing his determination " to go to
Newgate for them," and that he had made up his mind
to annihilate the whole family.
Mr. D'Eynconrt said'that the defendant's conduct was
altogether unwarranted, and he should order him to pay
a penelty of 40s. for the assault upon Mrs. Payne, or be
committed for 14 days. Ho should also require him to
find substantial bail for his good behaviour for the next
six months.

THE WHALE FISHERIES IN THE ARCTIC

REGIONS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir,—lt is now nearly 300 years ago since William
Barentsz, one of the earliest navigators, first ventured
far into the unknown depths of the northern regions.
He in one short summer discovered and circumnavigated
Spitzbergen, and traced the shores of Novaya Zemlya to
its north-eastern end. The immediate consequence of
that remarkable voyage
was the dispatch, by enterpris-
ing English merchants, of several vessels for the capture
of certain animals met with by Barentsz in those re-
gions. The small island to the south of Spitzbergen,
called Bear or Cherie Island—one of Barentsz's disco-
veries—was particularly resorted to for the capture of
the seahorses or walrusses, from which a valuable oil
was extracted. So great was the number of these ani-
mals found there, that a thousand of them were once
killed in the short space of seven hours by the crew of
a single vessel. In the course of time, as might be ex-
pected, this indiscriminate slaughter frightened away the
survivors, and the island soon becoming deserted, the
benefit of the trade was lost. As Bear Island was st
this time the only source whence England derived her
supply of oil, the merchants were induced to seek that
material elsewhere, and the capture of the largest of
animals, the whale, was now ventured upon. Such was
the origin of the British whale fishery in the Greenland
seas. The history and the circumstances of that im-
portant branch of industry are well known.
There is only one circumstance which seems to have
hitherto escaped observation, and that circumstance is
this:—

The reason why the chief seat of the Greenland whale
fishery was always confined to the western side of Spitz-
bergen is because that side was more sheltered from the
currents and drifting bodies of ice, and, consequently,
more free from ice than any other. Hence it was that
the eastern side, where the current has a tendency to
turn the ice against the shore, was, from the very be-
ginning, shunned by the whalers, who at first had such
a dread of the ice that immediately on the whale enter-
ing it the line was cut and the monster allowed to escape.
Even when the whalers grew more bold, and the ice
masses on the western side of Spitzbergen were to them
no more insurmountable obstacles, a deep-rooted pre-
judice seems to have taken possession of their minds
against the eastern side, as we find that the sea between
bpitzbergen and Novaya Zemlya has always been ne-
glected by whalers, as well as by explorers, without any
particular reason. Hence, 6carckly anything is known
of that large set, and although I have most carefully and
honestly gone through all works relating to those re-
gions, I must confess my profound ignorance as regards
absolute and undeniable facts. Nobody knows anything
about it.; neither Scoresby nor Parry, neither Beechey,
Buchan, nor Franklin—renowned explorers of those
quarters—have extended their voyages to the east of
Spitzbergen, and the slight allusions made in their
works are vague and uncertain. Yet it is almost nearer
to England than any other Arctic sea—the distance
to the Shetland Islands being about the same as that to
the Baltic, and, as to navigableness, I defy any one
to adduce any reasonable ground why it should be
more difficult to navigate than any other Arctic
sea. One would have thought that the results of '
the only well conducted and authentic voyage in that
sea—namely, that of Barentsz—would have had some
weight ; but no. I will here give the description of his
sailing up along the eastern shores of Spitzbergen (ex-
tracted from the first good edition of his voyages, now OA
the eve of publication by the Hakluyt Society), which s
jest the region that seems to be considered by every one
now-a-days as impracticable and impenetrable :
" . . . . the 15 of June, when the Butane was south-
east (half-past 8 a.m.), with mistie and drisling weather,
and sayled north and north and by east ; about evening
it cleared vp, and then wee saw a great driving in the
sea, which wee thought had been a shippe, but passing
along by it, wee perceived it to be a dead whale, that
stouncke monsterously ; and on it there sate a great num-
ber of sea-mewes. At that time we had sayled 80 miles.
The 16 of Jane, with the like speede wee sayled north
and by east, with mistie weather ; and as wee sayled,
we heard the ice before we saw it ; but after, when it
cleared vp, wee saw it, and then wound off from it, when,
as wee guest, we had sayled 120 miles "-200 miles in
two days, in misty weather, in an unknown sea, and in
a little bark about the size of our fishing-boats, in which
it would be considered absolute madness at the present
day to venture into the same regions ! What greater
success in navigation can be exoected in the Arctic seas
than that which Barentsz had In truth, the assumed
difficulties for navigation in that sea aro groundless, and
rest upon the imagination, forming one of those curious
geographical prejudices which, when once they take a
hold of the public mind, are difficult to eradicate. It is
easy to imagine that the whalers of the present day do
not resort to that great sea, because their fathers did not
do so before them. Yet it is a well known fact among
them that in the open water, further to the south, whales
have frequently been seen in recent times by English
trading-vessels, in their route to Archangel. And we
also know that other useful animals, in places where for-
merly they bad been almost extirpated, have again
recruited themselves, after having so long been left un-
molested ; for in Bear Island the capture of walrusses by
the Norwegian fishermen is often considerable. A party
of eight men, in comparatively recent times, went there
late in the year, and killed groat numbers in the months
of November and December. " The pursuit," so says
the report, " was carried on very successfully, sometimes
by moonlight and the assistance of the aurora borealis,
and upon ono day in the week before Christmas we
killed as many as 70." There is no doubt that the
Americans will, at no distant date, do at Novaya Zemlya
as they have done in the Behring's Straits fisheries.
Mr. J. Scott Rassell, in his lecture on ships, pointed out
the following moral cause as bearing on the success of
the Americans in another matter. He said, " John Bull
has a prejudice against novelty ; Brother Jonathan has
a prejudice equally strong in favour of it. We adhere
to tradition in trade, &c. ; Jonathan despises it." Per-
find an application in the whale fishing
f the English persist in leaving that large
question

proving the terrible persecution of the Medial family,
the Hon. Member for Meath has again rushed into print,
with a view, if possible, cf clearing himself of the odium
fixed upon him by the manly protest of Serjeant Sher,
and the few spirited Rom In Catholics who followed in
his wake. In the Tablet of Saturday there appears a
long letter addressed by Mr. Lucas to his stubborn an-
tagonist, in the course of which ho endeavours to show
that he would not for the world's wealth touch a hair of
the Tuscan victims' heads even for the offence of reading
"a garbled " Bible ; but ho denies that this was the
crime et which the Madiais were found guilty. It was
a much more grievous one—namely, a clear case of
" Connemara soup-money. and-Bible proselytism," and
the Grand Duke, Mr. Lucas thinks, only ';served them
" rightby the measure of punishment which ho meted
out to the unhappy offenders.
