GREENLAND FISHERY.
_ _ _

The following letter, received by Mr. ilarter---ii.sergeoo, from his
son, on board the Margaret, of London, communicates intelligence
of the Greenland Fishery :
" Greenland, July 16,1874.
" Dear Father—l write to inform you that lam in good health,
but depressed in spirits for want of success. We have got only
one fish, which we killed on Sunday, the 11th host. Fish are very
scarce, which the experienced hands attribute to the small quantity
of lee. We have been as far north as 80 deg. but fell with
no fish. when we ran to the southward 75 deg. and fell in with the
West Land, with like bad fortune. Here we met with the Perse-
verance, Of Hull, Captain Turnbull, three Bab, who gave us an ac-
count of the undermentioned vessels. We are in company with a
Frenchman; she is about leaving the country with 15 tuns of stol-
en, and by her I shall mud this letter. We have not, however,
lost all hopes, as the weather is clear, and we do not mean to bear
up till the 10th of September.—Your affectionate son.

T IE DISCO V tit Y SHIPS.
We, says the Editor of the Tyne Mercury, have been
favoured with the following original and unpublished
letter from on board the Hecla. It was addressed by a
late highly creditable pupil to his master, a Gentleman
whose eminence in the scientific world does not requite
any panegyric from our feeble pen :
" Whalefuh Island, Davis' Straits, July 1, }724.
la Mr nue Sui-7.As the transport which is on the point of leav-
ing as will, in alkprobabliity, afford the last opporsonity we shall
hawed communicating with our Mends in England, I avail myself
of it to send you a very hasty and brief account of our progress.
You will see the account of our having passed the Pentland Frith;
it was very remarkable that we happened to do so on the sante day
of the month as the former ezpedititm, the 3d of May.—Our rum
across, taking everything into consideration, has been very fair.
We made the first piece of ice on the 17th, in lat. 60. 43. N. Imp
54. 50. W. and since that time our run up the Straits has been very
good. We have, as you may suppose, passed many icebergs, some
of a magnitude so stupendous that we shall not probably see larger
OD our voyage.
" On the 21st, very shortly after noon, we crossed the Arnie
Circle, Therm. at 34. Bar. 29.70, and as this was the first time in niy
life of my being within the sphere in which the sun performs his
circuit without descending below the horizon, I was induced to re-
main up for the purpose of observing his altitude below the pole,
which. I accordingly did, 1 deg. 9min. Mare. bearing E. 10 N.
Therm. 33 deg. Bar. 23-47.—h was exceedhiglt fortunate that
did so, for we have scarcely had a glimpse bf hint shies, in conse-
quence of the fogs and fresh weather.
" We strived here on the 26th ultimo, and sinee4hat time I have
been employed in making a survey of thaharbour, and I am happy
to say that it is now completed. Our chief motive for coming
hither was to clear the transport, which we have nearly done;
therefore whichever vessel has a fair wind first will sail first.
" This being a Danish settlement, the Esquitnatiz are much
more civilized than those we can expect to meet with on our
tended route. Much to my astonishment, we found a quantity of
European manufactures amongst them—amongst other things, a
large quantity of lavender stator! Their dresses, and the internal
arrangements of their huts, have a novel appearance to me; but the
former, which are composed of seal and reindeer skins, are far too
much intermixed with European ornaments, &C. and though cu-
rious enough in themselves, not at all calculated to give a correct
idea of their native costume."
PRINCE 110HENLUHE IN AMERICA.
Prince Hohenlohe's wonder-working power is not li-
mited to Europe, but extends to the United States.—
The Etude of Monday contains the following account
of a miracle, which tbe Editor fully believes. We, how-
ever, must say—Credat a Etoik' non ego.
"Mr. R. S. Briscoe, a Magistrate of the city of Wash-
ington, the seat of the Government of the United States,
declares, that upon the 24th of March, 1824, a woman
of 40 years old, named Ann Martingley, came before
him, and after her first being sworn upon the Holy
Evangelists, deposed to the following effect:
" For these seven years past, I have soffered dreadful pains in
my left side, in consequence of a cancer. The most experienced
and skilful physicians bad attended me, but all their prescriptions
were unavailing. I had, consequently, lost all hope of recovery,
when 11. Dubuisson, Assistant Minister of St. Patrick's Church,
exhorted me to perform a vow in the most holy name of Jesus, is
conformity with the directions that had been issued from Prince
Hohenlohe. Having first confessed to M. Matthews, the Rector of
the aforesaid Church, I received the Holy Sacrament from DI. DR"
buisson the 10th of this month, at four o'clock in the morning.--
Such were my sufferings and exhaustion at this moment, that I be-
lieved I was verging to my last breath. Under this impression, I
then offered up, mentally this prayer-= Loan JESIISI let thy holy
will be done.' But scarcely had I received or partaken of the body
of our Divine &nous, when I felt that all my inflictions had va-
nished; and my strength so rapidly returned, that, all at once,
was enabled to rise, without apy assistance, and to return thanks,
throwing myself on my knees, to the ALiktionrr, in the presence of
M. Dubideson, my relations, Lid my friends. From that moment
I have experienced no return of my former malady, and I cisr
tinue to enjoy an appetite quite equal to that which I possessed is
perfect health."
On the :id of May following, the said Anne Martingley nude
similar depositiou before the Chief Magistrate of the City of Wash
ington, in which she declared that her cure had been so odds*
and so complete, that it was impossible to have been accomplished
by human power.
