WHALE TAKEN AT BLACK ROCK.

A very fine Grampus Whale was killed' yesterday even-
inz, opposite the King's Quay, at Black Rock. It i
ob-
served at about two o'clock in the afternoon, by thewas King's
boats, in Cove, and about five made its appearance in the
Channel of Black Rock. It was immediately pursued by a
number of boats. A shot was fired with effect by Lieutenant
BATES, of Black Bock, which was succeeded. by many others.
It then attempted to regain the hart/oar. On proceeding
down the Lough Mahon, it was, however, encomatered by
the Waterloo Steam Packet, and alarmed by the noise of the
machinery, preceded the packet towards Black Rock. The
boatmen again commenced their pursuit. The men in Mr. Hall's boat succeeded in entangling their anchor with the
tail of the animal, but it soon disengaged itself from this
incumbrance; and after having many shots fired at it,
and its tail deeply wounded, so as nearly to be severed
from the body, it was towed to the strand at about 10
o'clock at night. It remained tittering deep moans till 19,
when the poor isnittitl, totally exhausted from loss of blood,
and removal front its native element, expired. It cast from
its stomach a quantity of feathers, supposed to be those of a
Cormorant, and bled very freely. Two of its teeth —of which
there are 48, were broken, and it bears the marks of a former
conflict.—lt is of the species of IVltale--Delphinits &ca. An-
other of the same kind was killed it/ the same part of the
river about 25 years since, and exhibited in' the same • yard
where the present animal lies. It is IS feet its length and 10
in cirth, and is supposed to be over two tons weight.—(C'erk
