WHALB-SHIPS BURNT.---It is with regret that we
are called upon to record the burning in our harbour, on the
morning of the 9th November, of the whaling barque Mer-
(try, Captain G. Penleton: The Mercury is owned in Ston-
ington, and has been out 16 months, and had on board 1,200
barrels of oil. The entire ship and cargo are consumed, and
nothing remains of the once-noble vessel but a few of the
blackened timbers upon the reef, at the leeward side of the
harbour. She was all ready for sea, and would have been of
in a short time, in prosecution of her voyage. On the morn-
ing of the 29th November the whale-ship Tobacco Plant was
discovered to brs on fire in the forward part of the hold, and
the fire had so far progressed that it was found impossible to
subdue it. She was consequently scuttled, and now lies upon
the reef, heeled over, a wreck. It is supposed to be the work
of an incendiary, as was that of the burning of the Mercury
on the 9th inst. Long and unsuccessful cruises, together
with the strong. desire to get clear of'a, ship and be off to
California, are inducements strong enough to prompt men to
the commission of crimes even of the most heinous character,
among whicb_ the wanton destruction of ships and hbuses by
lire are clayed.-.-. Polynesian;
