Henry CLAY Public dinners
have been given TO MIR Clay, al Fred
erlcktown and at Hagerstown, Md. at
which he addressed the company in
bis usual felicious manner. We have
received the addresses, and shall pnb
iish them as soon as we can find
room for them, as we feel certain that
every thing said or done, of a public
nature, by that truly great and good
man, will be Interesting to the public
Enemies, as well as friends, listen TO
and read the emanations of bis splen
did talents, il they do not "feign or
feel" admiration for them Mr.. Clay
has almost suffered political martyrdom
from the very purity OF his public life,
the independent fearlcssness Of his
character, and the brilliancy of his tai
ents. The vile, hated his stern virtue;
the fearful, dependant, compromising
spaniel, feared his integrity and indie
pendence; and the stupid proser, IN.
dervalued talents which he envied, be
cause he could not equal them, and
which could expose his weakness and
correct his biunders.
AS a statesman, we believe that he
has no equalin America, if indeed he
has in the world; and to him are the
American people indebted in large
sum of gratitode. The people, are
never ungratcfui, and when the ebuli

last political campaign generated, we
have no, a doubt hat Henry Clay will
regain that favor which for a time he
has lost. A better man never existed;

there were local circumstances and natur-
al advantages in favour Of the last, that
could neither be counteracted nor suppli-
ed. 1t was also stated that the people of
Nantucket had extended the fishery to the
coasts of Africa, to the Brazil, and even
to the Falkland Islands, and heightened
out some of their voyages to the period Of
twelve months. In this enlarged sphere
of the fishing ground it is probable that
the ships Of our island neighbour had been
the earliest navigators, as they have since
by pursuing the mighty chase to still far
Their regions become discoveries of un-
known lands, and opened the whole un-
limited sea to the enterprise which they
now divide with us. The settlers of that
island had in limited 4andssbarren terri
tory the blessing of quick spur to enter
prise, and from home without subsis-
tence they were driven to plough the more
{ gracious and yielding main. They had
accordingly, from an early period of their
settlement upon that spot, chased the whale
along the shore on short cruises with small
craft, and by gradual extension, which
was favoured by the bounty of govern
ment, as before related, from that small
beginning had found out the paths of dis
tant seas, where they followed the whale
with the largest keels and in great num-
bers.
This business continued not only to be
marked with the favour of the British
government, which by repeated enact
ments kept up its encouragement, but Dem
mark also in 1885 issued proclamation
for inducing foreigners as well as natives
to embark in it, by immunity from taxes,
bounties on the voyage, &c.
I The number Of vessels employed by
England in 1857 in the fishery to- Davis
Streights and Greenland Seas was 2l7,
and their cargoes consisted of 1854 tuns
clean oil, 1874 tnns whale fins, and 90,
$50 seal skins. The southern whale fish
cry, in which Giey had now been engaged
a few years, produced in 1885 626 tuns
oil, 81 cwt fins-in 1856, LIB tuns oil,
357 cwt. fms, 772 seal skins--in 1887,
l2,l8l tuns oil, 1880 cwt. fins, and IA $50
seal skins. In the first year they had Is
ships, in the last 49, the value of produce
of each, 1900 and f1O7 900. In the
year l773, the tonnage OF Great Britain in
the Greenland fishery was 81 900, in 1856
I it was $4,000. In 1888 the number Of
ships employed in the Greenland and
Davis Straits fishery was 222, measuring
65, 267 tuns, and their cargoes consisted
Of s, $3.50 tuns clean oil, 1864 iuns whale
fins, and 1886 seal skins. The Dutch
ships in the business in the four last years
ending in 1888 were from IS to SO each
year, which obtained in the whole 1905 l-2
whales. The whole number taken by the
Dutch from 1861 to 1888 was 1861
whales; the greatest number in any one
year was 207l l-2 with 20S ships in l70l /;
the greatest number of ships employed
during the period was 260, in 1921.

NATURAL HISTORY OF ENTHUSIASM.
8vo-LoNDoN, 1929.

The Natural History Of Enthusiasm
is, in fact, an essay on the nature and eff
fects of its operation on the human char
acter--a subject than which no better
could be found for such mode of treat
ment in the whole range of psychological
science. Partaking, as every strong pas
sion does, of the nature of this mighty
agent, it is work of profound philosophi-
cal thought to distinguish between what
is natural as passion, and enthusiasm as
feeling-betwee the power working by
its own energy, and the sudden strength
which is felt but not possessed, impeling
but not helping forwards. Enthusiasm,
to take it in the bad sense of the word, is
produced by false estimate of things on
the one side, and false idea of ourselves
on the other-the offspring, in by far the
most instances, Of ignorance and vanity.
But il is not in this contracted sense that
THE word enthusiasm is always understood;
nor does the principle in reality always
proceed from the same cause, or produce
the same effects. IT may find resting
place in strong minds, under particular
circumstances as well as in weak and in
this case, though the conduct to which it
impels be no more the result of right or
cool reason than in the other, it will be
widely different in its characters diff
ferent, in short, as the passionate love or
anger of a wise man and fool. We
have read the work before us with consid-
cradle pleasure. 1t is full of admirable
observation. and expresses that high tone
of moral feeling which gives kind of le-
gitimate authority to the writer's specula-
tons. The following extracts will justify
our praise. In speaking of religious en-
thusiasm, he says -
ssThe religion of the heart may be sup
planted by religion of the imagination,
Just in the same way that the social affec-
tons are often dislodged or corrupted by
Fictitious sensbilities. Every one knows
that an artificial excitement of all the kind
and tender emotions of our nature may
take place through the medium of the i'm
,agination. Hence the power of poetry
and the drama. But every one must also
know that these feelings. however vivid
and seemingly pure and salutary they may
be, and however nearly they may resem-
Bile the genuine workings of the soul, are
so far from producing the same sofiening
effect upon the character, that they tend
rather to indurate the heart. Whenever ex
elements fany kind eregarded distinct
ly as source of luxurious pleasure, then,

WHALING.

The inhabitants of Nantucket early en-
gagged in the whale fishery, and previous TO
the time to which this account has been
brought down they had employed at once
in the business 1872 vessels In Feb. IT'S,
on motion made in the British Parlia-
ment to bring in a bill for the restraint Of
the trade and fisheries of the four New

that neither the whale nor cod fisheries
could be carried on to equal extent or ad

A Common CASE. The great Peter
Corneille, whose genius resembled that of
Shakespeare, and who has SO forcibly ex-
pressed the sentiments of the Hero, had no.
thing in his exteriour manners that indicated
his genius; on the contrary his converse
ton was so nsipid that it never failed of
wearying his auditors. Nature, who had
lavished on him the extraordinary gifts of
genius, had forgotten, or rather dsdained,
to blend with them her more ordinary ones.
