• WHALE FISHERY.
Ammumar, Nov. 16.—The Old Middleton, READ, with 13
Ssli, and the New Middleton, Canasta., with 12 fish, each
about 190 tuns of oil, arrived here on Sunday last, from ILeti's
Straits, the last whale fishing ships of the season, and the West
arrivals eves known at this place. These ships, in common
with the fishing ships in general, and particularly with the fe.e
which remained at Davis's Straits, had passed the usual period
of the fishery with very little success, and the latter ship, wi.ls
faint hopes of improvement from thiir perseverance, when the
ice breaking so as to allow them to get to the westward, uner-
pectedly opened a field far rewarding their exertions. Fish were
now met with in such plenty, that the Old Middleton killed sip
in one day, a circumstance, it is-believed, unprecedented in the
annals of whale fishing; and there was every prospect of the ships
ing all full, when the tempestuous weather which, at that
vanced period, prevails in those high latitudes, expo.in^ late
ships 'to great danger, obliged them to bear away, :aid bend
their course homeward. These latter ships, nine in nunther—
seven belonging to Scotland, and two to England, viz. the ..:
and Progress, of Hull, are, it is-believed, all safely arrived,
after experiencing generally a very boisterous passage homeward,
with violent gales from S.S.W. by S.E. so that sonic o; then,
were driven to the northward of Shetland.
