LATEST FROM THE PACIFIC.

The brig Celeno, Fitzgerald, has arrived at
Baltimore, in 76 days from Yquique. When
Captain F. left Callao, markets were dull, ow-
ing to the unsettled state of the country. Last
sales of Flour at SO, and even dull at that price.
While the Celeno lay at Yquique, advices were
received from Lima to the Goth March, which
represented Lima to be tranquil. Ex-President
Gamara was still in possession Of the Sierra of
Pasco, with a force about 100 men. A detach-
ment of 300 men had been sent from Lima un-
der command of General Miller, and shortly
after leaving the city he fortunately discover
ed conspiracy among the officers, formed for
the purpose OF delivering himself and his men to
the opposite party. Some eight or ten Of the
officers were Immediately shot. He subsequent
" had several skirmishes, in all of which he prov
ed successful. His men, however, were so few
in number, that there was but little hope enter
tanned of his accomplishing his object Through
out the country, the people were all in arms,
and until the party of Germara is put down,
confidence will not be restored. Much aXiety
still prevailed among the foreign merchants
Captain Fitzgerald is the bearer of dispatches
from our Charge des Affaires at Lima to the
Secretary Of State.

THE WHALE FISHERY.

A correspondent Of the Boston Atlas furnish
cs some interesting particulars in relation to
the Whaling business, carried on by our Eastern
brethren.-lt is astonishing to know to what an
extent this business is prosecuted. New Bedford
has no less than ITS ships engaged in this BUSH
ness-Nantucket 75-New London where the
fishery has given new impulse to business and
industry has 40 ships,-Sag Harbor, or Long
Island, 20 or 30 Bristol in Rhode Island has
Is whale ships, Warren, about dozen, and
Newport four or five. Some vessels have been
fitted out by emigrants from Nantucket, at Hud-
son and Poughkeepsie,-an the towns, Ply
mouth, Gloucester, and Newburyport have late
ly entered upon the business. There are, in the
whole, rs, 900 tons of American shipping engag-
ed in this employment.
The Whale Fishery, as We learn from the
same source, is divided into two distinct branch
es. One set Of vessels pursue the Righf w male.
These vessels are fitted out for cruise OF nine
months, or a year. The Right Whale is found
only upon soundings. The vessels which pur-
sue him make for the Brazil Banks, which stretch,
for a great extent, off the coast of Brazil. Then
the whalers stand away for the Cape OF Good

LATEST FROM JAMAICA.

BY the packet J. w. Cater, at New York, files
from Jamaica to the 18th June have been re-
ceived.
The papers are filled with debates in the
House Of Assembly, on the subject of local mat
tiers relating to the Island.
The following extract from the Address of
the Council to His Excellency the Governor,
exhibits better feeling than is common
Jamaica, SIS. We learn, with satisfaction,
that the act of the last Session for the Abolition
of Slavery had received the Royal Assent; and
that the necessary measures had been adopted
by his Majesty to declare the right Of this ISL
and to participate in the compensation granted
to slave owners.
We receive with pleasure the testimony which
your Excellency bears to the cordial feelings
existing generally among all classes of the in
habitants throughout the island, and to the
peaceful demeanor Of the negro population.
II affords us qualification to learn that his Ma
jesty has been pleased to place so ample and
available force for the defence of this island
under the command Of officers so able and dis
tinguished in their professions
We are credibly informed that the French
brig Endymion proceeds to Martinique to-mor

Bogota to the French Admiral, who is awaiting

to refresh the minds Of our readers with the
cause of the difference between the Carthage

say that the former insist on not receiving the
last Consul, while the latter seem determined to
enforce obedience to their wishes.

ALEXANDRIA,:
MONDAY MORNING, JULY 7, 1884.
4TH OF JULY.

The Anniversary of our National Independ-
ence was celebrated in this place on the 4th with
proper demonstrations respect. National sa.
lutes were fred at sunrise, noon and at sunset;
and national flags wese displayed at the public
square, and from the shipping. At 10 O'Clock a
procession was formed, consisting of the Wash
ington Society and the citizens, headed by the
Civic Escort and the Alexandria Band, and
proceeded TO the First Presbyterian Church,
where, after an appropriate prayer by the Rev.
s. Cornelius, the Declaration of independence
was read in handsome manner by Reuben
Johnston, Jr. Esq and an eloquent and classical
Grafton pronounced by Thomas Semmes, Esq.
In the intervals the Band played patriotic mu,
sic, in its finest style. The procession returned
to the City Hotel, and was there dismissed.
A public dinner prepared in an excellent
manner by Mr.. John HILL was given at Smiths
woods, at which many were present The day
was passed most orderly and quietly.
In the evening" the day was celebrated by
literary association, called the EuPHEMAN SocIE-
rY, and composed entirely ofyoung men, The
Declaration Of Independence was well read by
Mr. Edward S. Hough, and a patriotic Grafton
delivered by Mr.. Chas E. Mount. The audience
was much pleased with the exercises of the
evening.

Hope, and cruise III the Indian ocean and about
the island of Madagascar. 1t is the right whale
which furnishes the whalebone. The oil how
ever is much less valuable. than that ofthe Sperm,
whale; it is worth from six to ten dollars a bar
rel. 1t is hardly fit to burn, but is employed 10
oil machinery, SC. A large portion Of it is ex
ported.
The ships which pursue the sperm whale, are
fitted out for three years cruise The whale
they take, is found only in deep water. After
making the Western islands, where they fire.
quently find some game, they stretch away for
Cape Horn and pursue their prey through the
Pacific Ocean. The oil of the sperm whale con.
tains the substance from which spermaceti can.
dies are made. The head matter, is particular
ly rich in this substance The spermacet pays
for the process of manufacture; 50 that the oil
as it comes from the whale, is Of about the same
, value with the same quantity OF manufactured
oil. 1t is worth from trenty to thirty dollars PEI
barrel.
The decks of the whale ships arc provided
with great iron kettles set in brick work. and
the oil is separated from the blubbers by heat,
the scraps from which the oil has already been
tried furnishing an excellent fuel.
For obvious reasons the crews receive no
wages, but instead, they have what is called
My,-that u.s. certain proportion of the OIL
Those who are at the expense and risk OF fitting
out the vessel have Of course the larger portion
Of the proceeds. The masters, mates and boat
steerers, have share adequate to their skill and
responsibility, the old whaIer is paid for his eX
pericnce while the green hands draw share
proportionate to their services. On the whole.
a good deal depends on chance;-but however
profitable the whale fishery may be to those who
furnish the capital and fit out the vessels, it does
not appear that either tie officers or men
much better paid than those engaged in Tic
mer chant service.
