He is short in stature, bui strong aud still hale, or
far from inirm. lis fine forhead aud hazel eyes
deeply sunk in their sockets, his short nOUsIa' 'he
flowing grey beard, and little mouth, make mn en-.
sembie which though it hetrays cunning aud fneSSe,
yet on the whole, gives him the appearance. OF IL
noble and amiable mun. is hands and feet arc
remarkably well made, and what is very uarka-
BILE for a Turk, he is necessarily pacing up aui
down his apartments. lie is always remarkably
clean and neat in his dress, hu, never wears any

enibrodnres which nre so much in ashion among
his countrymen. The VicerOy is excessively pas
sionate, and can but i'll conceal tho emotions by

irankne$s aud good faith, and abhors disslmula-

religosly faithful to his word, he Is utterly inca-
palle OF committing dlshonorable action. HIS
generosity is unbounded, aud frequently borders

very great adnirer of the fair sex but IS an ex-
cellent father; and il is painful TO witness his an

Glory is his god, and his whole life has been spent
in endeayoring TO shed lusIre on his name, and

but few hours repose he rises at four, when he
receives reports from his ministers aud dictates

AMERICAN WHALE FISHERY.

The hardy enterprise of New England is emit
tied to the credit OF carrying out the whale fshe.
ry to the largest extent and with the most brilliant
success. The occupants OF this region of the
country, cast along the sea. shore, and upon soil
barren, rocky, and inviting in very smell degree
the labors OF agriculture at an early period direc-
ted their adventurous enterprises TO the sea. Yet
their extraordinary vigor aud daring, aided by the
elasticity OF their climate, their comparative pow
erty and their simple virtues, more Than counter
balanced the consequences which would otherwise
have resulted from the barrenness of their SOIL
The population bordering the shores of the
turned their attention to lis abundant resources,
and their farms on the ocean. Nor did the
remarkable traits of haldihood and perseverance,
which they exhibited in this branch of commerce,
running down to the period of the revolution, es-
cape the notice ofdstlnguished statesmen abroad.
Their enterprise in this respect, il is well known,
received Just and splendid eulogum from Ed
munl Burke, on the floor Of the irilish Parlia-
ment, in his speech delivered in IVA, upon Amer
lean affairs. AS TO the wealth., said lie, (which
the colonists have drawn from the by their
fisheries, you had all that matter fully opened at
your bar. You surely thought these acquisitions
of value, Tor they seemed to excite your envy and
yet the spirit by which that enterprsing employ
ment has been exercised ought rather, in my opin.

pray, sir, what in tho world is equal To il Pass
by the other parts, and look at the manner in which
the New England people carry on the whale fish

mountains of ice, aud behold them penetrating in.
TO the deepest frozen reccsses OF Hudson's Bay

beneath the arclic circle, we hear that they have

which seemed too remote and to romantic an OBJ

stage and resting place for their victorious indus
try. Nor is the equinoclal heat more discoura-
ging 10 them than the accumulated winter OF both
the poles. We learn that while some OF them

CANADIAN WAR STEAMER.

armed vessels. On the inside, parallel bars; of
iron are let into her mbers the entire length Of the
boat nfI placed or inches a part This does
not add materially to her strength, but renders her
almost shot proof. Her planks IRE 5 inches and
her ceiling 3 inches thick, making her entire
thickness about 90 inches Of solid timbers. She
is fitted with two as horse power low pressure
steam engines, which are placed entirely below
deck, on the plan OF the Atlantic steamers, and are
hey oud the reach of external injury but they are
in my opinion Of 100 sn al n cabre for so heavy
boat, and il am not mistaken, almost any OF OUR
water wagons will I've able to- hold a candle for
her to run by.
The engines are supported by iron frames res.
ting upon large fore and aft timbers placed upon
either side of the kesop, which securely boiled
aud fastened to the deckirnne ofthe boat and add
greatly to her strength.-The cylinders are 36 in
ches in diameter, with four feet and half stroke,
placed upright IN the usual manner, Int in place
of one working BEAM 10 each engine playing above
tho cylinders as is customary, they have Two, re-
rersed one each side of the cylinder, and moving

working beams below, and hrouglftAem transmit
the power by means of other connecting rods to

But in the year 1885, the loss of several fine
ships, with their crews, by the pers of the sea,
or by capture-~ior it is well known that we were
then at war with France-threw temporary
blight over the traffic, although il continued to in
