CASUALTIES OF WHALE CATCHING.—The Factor
has on board 2,150 barrels black, and 35 barrels sperm,
having taken aboat 180 barrels since leaving
Sydney on
the 19th September last. The following vessels have
been reported by her. At Stewart's Island, December
7, 1846, the Fortitude, barque, of Hobart Town, Cap-
tain Bailey, one month out, clean ;
lowered after a large
sperm whale, off Solander's Island, on the evening of
the sth, and killed him, but lost sight of the barque, so
remained by the whale all night (the three boats). At
daylight the weather was very bad ; they saw the ship
to leeward, distance three leagues. Captain Bailey left
the whale with the two boats, with the intention of going
on board. When within three hundred yards of the
vessel a sea broke into the boat and capsized her. They
saw this accident from the ship, but lost their presence
of mind, and were consequently unable to render any
assistance. As soon as the mates arrived alongside with
the whale, the people on board informed them of the
accident, but knew not where to direct them in search
of the captain. When at last they did find the boat,
the captain was delirious and nearly dead, and dreadfully
bruised, having been in the water three hours. All the
rest had perished. Singular to say, the captain was the
only man in the boat who could not swim. The mate
left the whale, and teok the barque into Paterson's
River, Stewart's Island. She was spoken off the Solan-
ders,Morning Herald.

flames. The boat usually employed in conveying the men
residing at Torpoint from the yard to their homes was the
first to take the fire floats in tow, and proceed alongside the
Confiance. A number of boats from the San Josef, and other
ships in ordinary, were also speedily on the spot, and ren-
dered efficient service. The planking of the decks was
ripped up, in order to allow the hose from the engines to
pass into the lower part of the vessel. So prompt and
efficient were the steps taken for subduing the fife, that it
was speedily got under. It is supposed to have originated
from the over-heating of the felt around the boiler, and two
engineers were left alongside the steamer during the night.
The advantage of the allowance of boats to the men of the
yard residing at Torpoint and other places on the river was
shown in this instance. It was and is always kept in readi-
ness to be present on an emergency, and if we recollect
rightly on several occasions the Torpoint boat has been the
first to render efficient service when it was needed.—Devon-
port 2'elegraph.
AMERICAN ACCOUNTS.—From private letters from
Philadelphia we learn that there is now no doubt entertained
as to the due payment of the dividends on Pennsylvanian
bonds shortly falling due, and that the greatest confidence is
now felt that these dividends will for the future he duly and
regularly paid.
