A new company is about to be formed in London for the purpose of prosecuting the whale fishery The London Morning Herald, speaking of ihe schem, says:-
 It is certainly not very credltsble 10 naiona character that we have, in great measure been bea ten in the competition in this branch of induriry by the American, who possess no natural local adyan thges for it's prosecution, but owe iLelr sue cess aone to the superior skill and better conduc of the officers and men employed II the pursuit. l. is all hands admitted that to this cause alone the Americans are indebted for their success in the South Sea whale fishery, and that to the want properly selected and properly disciplined crews the British branch of the trade has descended dowr to mere fraction in the comparison.
