THE WHALE TRADE.

1t is only about four or FIVE years, since
the small town of Hudson, OIL the North Riv-
err, commenced the business of whaling, and
it is already reaping golden harvest. The
Hudson Republican, on the occasion of the
departure of the ship America on her second
whaling voyage, alludes to the origin OF the
trade, and its influence upon the baseness and
prosperity of that place as follows: Read
fellow citizens of Wilmington, and, if posi-
BILE, ifthere be a spark of enterprise in the
town, let the example of Hudson stimulate
you to exertion. The "apathy" which ex-
istedin Hudson five years, ago, is, we req ct
to say, too prevalent here. Happy shall we
be, if FIVE years hence. we may have an OPP
portunity, like the Hudson editor, Of congrat-
ulating the people of Wilmington, upon their
crouded docks, new buildings, extensive
rope walks, increased value of property, as
tonishing difference in business" and all the
other ct cetcra of a prosperous and flourish
ing whaling town. The thing is as practical
BILE in Wilmington as it was in Hudson-noth-
ing 10 wantod but the Will:
.'On the departure of this ship OH her Sec
ond voyage, we cannot refrain from drawing
comparison between the spirit and enter
prize which now actuates our citizens, and
the apathy which existed five years ago,
when it was first proposed to enter into the
whaling business. At that time, when the
subject was mentioned, no money was to be
found, few men willing to embark in the bu-
siness, and those few unwilling to risk much
by dint of perseverance, the projectors OF
the scheme succeeded in drawing a few to.
gether, and the Mansfield, which was con.
sidered 10 be almost unseaworthy, was pur-
chased for two Thousand dollars. This small
beginning produced an itching in others te
own whale stock, and ship has followed ship
until eleven fine substantial vessels belong tc
this city. Now, in: tead of the old excuse,
there is no money. the difficulty is to find ship:
and fit them out as fast as they are wanted
scarcely is one ship purchased and 3ro't uT
to our docks before money is raised tor an
other. There is also an astonishing dlHer
ence in the business of the city, and in the
value of real estate. A person who has no
visited us for five or six years would hardly
} know the place from the dock on the riv
or to the eastern extremity of the city, it ha
been almost entirely metamorphosed ant
the new buildings now going up, and old one
modernized and improved, exhibit indica
tons of increasing wealth and population
An extensive rope-walk. which tor years MAJ

operation, and from so to so hands employ
Cd In a word, the whole scene is changed

his time or money, finds enough to DO"

LATE FOREIGN NEws.-The Napoleon
arrived on Tuesday last at New York. The
NY. American has received by her London
files to the 25th ult. inclusive. The Portu-
puese question is the main one now. Bour-
mont, it would seem, was bent upon making
an attempt to regain Lisbon. He had been
sending off his troops by detachments in the
direction Of Coimbra several days, before he
fairly raised the siege of Oporto, and in that
way had evidently stolen a march upon his
opponents His force, after the junction effect
ed with Mallellos and the Duke OF Cadoval,
would exceed considerably in numbers any
that Villa Flor (Duke of Terceira) could OPP
nose to him. Donna Maria had not been off
ccially recognised either by France or Eng
land. The former hesitated. it is said, until
1t could obtain the promise of commercial
immunities in Portugal equal to those OF Eng
land the latter because of the distrust-en-
tertained in special degree by the Lord
Chancellor-of Don Pedro. Lord VIM. Rus

The Washington Globe, of Tuesday, Off
cially announces, that ROGER B. fancy,
Attorney General, was, on Monday, appoint
ed Secretary of the Treasury of the United
States. 1t says nothing OF Mr.. Duane. we
learn, however. from other sources. that
Mr.. Duane resigned, because he would not
sign the OF der for the transfer of the public
deposites from the Bank ofthe United States
believing that no reason existed for the mea.
sure. Mr.. Duane has set an example which
cannot fail to place him high in the estlma'
ton of his coun,rymen. He has given uE
his office rather than sacrifice his principles
and his conscience to the lawless will OF Gen,
eral Jackson. The example is not the less
precious and valuable, because, in this vena
age, it stands alone. AS to Mr.. fancy, he
has got his reward. He has shown himsel
from the commencement of his career in the
cabinet, fit agent for the Kitchen Council
aworthy coadjutor of Amos Kendall.

The following singular circumstance is sta
ted in the New York American.
ROBERT M. RANDOLPH, supposed to
have been murdered last winter in the
vicinity of Railway, N. j., has recently
been seen alive and well in Philadelphia
though he denied his name. He left home
on horseback with considerable sum oil
money in his pocke.. Shortly after, his
pocket book rifled, and his saddle stained
with blood, were found in thick wood
through which he had to pass; and The
whole country around was raised to dis
cover the body, and if possible the MUIR
derer, for whose detection both the rela
tives and the Government OF the Stat'
offered large reward. No motive il
known for the conduct OF Randolph IL
thus mystcriously absenting himself.

he has displayed in the discharge of
