III RAID OF THE TIMES.

SaiP CHARLEs.-The actual facts with 70.
gard To the nbo ondpnmcn, of this vessel were
received in New Orleans on the 2jlh ult. a
great deal Of Indignation was excited against
CAPT. Gorham, The following is from the
Bulletin Of that city,
The mystery us regards The above vessel
is at length cleared up, by the arrival Of the
captain and crew at Charleston, who with
the passengcrs, it appears, abandoned the
ship in consequence Of her leaking, ut least
ihat is the reason assigned. The conduct OF
Cap. Gorham. is, 10 ray the least, very ex.
'iraordlnary. Ills statement, as it appears III
The Charleston papers rs 1t regards the leak
ing of the ship, does not at all correspond
with her situation when she was fallen in
with by the t0wboat, us she then, after hav-
ing been so long abandoned, had not in her
as much wafer as Capt. &. states wus in her
when he lei her, and she was pumped dry
without difficulty or unusual exerti,n and
we understand, 10 now about proceeding 70
sea again, without having discharged her
cargo or undergone any repairs, it not being
cons idcred that she requires the latter, and
does not leak more than vcssels Of her class
anu uoIhIiy uo'
The abandonment Of The vessel appears to
have been n most wantOn unnecessary pro.
cecdIng, particularly when the circumstances
are taken into view that she was numbered
and therefore could no. sins-that she was in
sight Of the Balize, and directly in The track
Of The numerous vessels bound in and out Of
the Mississippi, and consequently sure Of
succor nt almost any moment, should the leak
have really become such as Ia create any
just cause of alarm, and the season Of the
year gnaranteenD. ,naa and pleasant weather.
We have seldom seen more general burst
Of indignant feeling than was exhibited by
ouy community yesterday agans, the conduct
of Capt. &. particularly among the shipping.
II he had only left few lines on his cabin
table or on his log slate, he would have sa.
we'd n vast deal OF intense anxiety and mental
suffering to the friends of his passengers as
well as The friends Of those on board other
ships that sailed at tho same time, to say
nothing ot the heavy expense that has been
incurred ~ fitting out armed expeditions in
search Of the supposed pirates. But his whelo
conduct in this affair appears 10 have been
most though,less and .unjustiiiable, and we
would recommend TO him not again to visit
New Orleans, unless he wishes to be u mark
for the finger OF scorn, us he passes on the
Lcvec, and 10 be dIsownod and despiscd by
his nautical brethren.

WISEIN HIGH PLACES. "A hiend OF
ours passed from New York to Albany
in Il steamboat, few days since, with
Gen. Scott and the Hon. Mr. -
from England. The latter gentleman,
not knowing that Gen. Scott was a iee-to-
taller, observed that "he thought The
Americans were going to qrent extreme
in their temperance movements" for,
said he, "it has got even into President
Tyler's house, aud at dinner there, few
days since, with Mr. Clay, MIR. Webster
and Others, | observed that not one Of
them drank any minc, and The only use
made of the decaDter was by tho pres.
dent, who apparently out of mere polite.
ness to me, as stranger, sent it TO me
with request that would take wine
with him,and he barely pu, it to his lips "
Can we fail to hail this as a good omen,

land a,e pallaaing OF the new Temperance e
excitement and becoming tee .totallers.

YANKEE EYrERPRIsE. The Fall Riv-

or Arche'ypc tells The following story
"Caplain Thomas Sanford, who is in
his 70th year, in the little sloop Morning
Star, of 80 tons, left this port on the 29lh
lof last May, for the port Of llarbor is
land, West Indies, and made land at the
hole in the wall, on Abaco, in nine days;
il raiued and was so thick that neither
sun, moon, nor stars, were TO he seen.
On tho 10Th Of June, he left Abaco, for
PowelPs point, Eleihcura, or Hctcra,
where no arrived on the evening of the
twentieth. The next day, 2lst, he load
ed with fruit, such as pine apples, lines
and oranges, and sailed for this port on
the following morning. lie arrived here
on tho Sd inst. having been absent 20
days; having sailed out and back, $500
miles
When Capt. Sanford projected this
voyage, he stated that he was going TO-
the West Indies after n load Of fruit to
sell here on thc-4lh OF July. The state
ment was regarded as so incredible, that
many bets were taken that hc would not
return by the 4lh. He had but two
hands with him, and the whole voyage
was performed without pen being put to
paper for any purpose. Ills reckoning
was kept with piece Of chalk, in the
bottom OF his quadrant case"

|N TIE AMERICAN WHALE FISHERY.
The origin of the whale fishery we may
1flly trace to n foreign country. The
(3twcgans, it seems, were accustomed
|Han early period to take the whale in a
hal manner, but without any system !;
od the Blscayans appear to have first
opted it as a settled pursuit and car
IA it on with great vigOr and success,
I'm the twelfth to the fourteenth centu-
ys 1t would also seem that the voyages
|1Ahe Dutch as well as the English, to the
GRthcrn Ocean, for the purpose of dis
1&ering passage to India, disclosed the
|anls of the whale, which swarmed in
re seas. and measures were soon adopt
eboth by the Dutch and English, for the
pose of its capture. 1t is a singular
~ tthat during the middle of the seven
nth century, houses were fixed upon
northern shore of Spitzbergen, and
Rided with tanks, boilers, and all other
leeessary apparatus for the purpose of
|Qillng the blubber, and preparing the
|Re for market. The Dutch whale fish
was in its most prosperous state dur
u the year 1850, when it employed
Ibopt 26O ships and $4,000 sailors. The
lish whale fishery was carried on by
l1Sxclusive company, like that of HIol-
1 and in 1925 the South Sea Com
bs8 embarked to large extent in the
f11e. and prosecuted it with vigor for
|bQbt eight wears, when they rclinquished
heenterprise, having suffered consdera-
3oss. So also the French and other
K bns formerly embarked in the same
'nkc, with considerable success.
g far back as 1861, we have in the
'ec1hd volume of the Philosophical Trans
SctiSns, letter from Mr. Richard Nor
Pood, who resided at the Bermudas,
fhsh states that the whale fishery had
Peea carried on in the bays of those is
hn& for two or three years. A year or
Ix0s afterwards, the whale fishery was
Dnppscd by Mr. Richard Stafford, who
