WHALE FISHERY.
The Grenville Bay, which has arrived at Newcastle from
Davis's Straits, brings a very unfavourable account of the fishing

state of the different ships :
fluta..—Zephyr, 3 fish ; Abram, clean ; Albion, 4 ; Andrew
Marvel, 4 ; Brunswick, 8 ; Cato, 3 ; Comet, 2 ; Cambrian, 3i
William, 4; Wilson, 3; Gilder, 3; Jane, 3; Ingram, 4; Lee,

The Grenville Bay left the ice on the Ist of August. The.
winds, generally, had been southerly, and the Straits were con-
sequently so filled with ice, that every attempt to get farther up
into BaMn's Bay had proved unsuccessfuL Of this North West
Passage Expedition, of course, nothing had been beard by any
of these ships, for Hudson's Straits is understood to have been
the channel through which the passage into the Arctic Sea was to
have been attempted.

puty Marshal being absent, his assistant endeavoured to procure
a person to perform the duty of executioner, by offering a large
reward. So late, however, as the hour of twelve, no person
could be found for that purpose, until a negro, eotkped In the
workhouse, was tempted by the promise of two doubloons to
undertake the once of hangman. When be drew near to

mendous clap of thunder, so alarmed him, that be refused
