s On bord the Peacock they witnessed a
sea, fight between the whale and one of its
MANY enemies. The Sea wa. quite smooth,
and offered the best possible view Of the
whole combat. First, at distance from
the ship, whale was seen laundering in
the most extraordinary way, lashing the
smooth sea Into perfect foam, and endeav-
otine, apparently, to extricate himself from
some annoyance. As he approached the
ship, the struggling continued and becom-
ing more violent, it was perceived that a
fish, apparently about twenty feet long,
beld him BY the jaw, his contortions, spout
ing and throes all betokening TIE agony. OF
the huge monster. The whale now threw
himself at full length from the water, with
open mouth, his pursner still hanging to
the Jaw, the blood issuing from the wound
and dyeing the sea at distance around;
but all his,flouaderipgs were of no avail;
his pertinacious enemy still maintained his
hold, and was evidently getting the advai,-
tage Of him. Much alarm seemed to be
felt BY The other wales around. These
"killers, " they are called, are OF a brown
ish color on the back, and white on the
belly, with a long dorsal fin. Such was
the turbulence with which they passed,
that good view could not be had of them
to make out more nearly the description.
These fish attack whale in the same way
as dogs bite abull and worry him to death.
They are armed with strong sharp teeth
and generally seize the whale by the lower
jaw. Il is said that the only part Of them
they eat il the tongue The yhalers give
some marvsllous accounts If these killers,
and Of their immense strength; among
them, that they. have been. known to drag
q whale from several boats which were

We learnfrom passengers down yes
terday from Nashville on the "Clarks-
yille," that a recontre took place between
q. L. c. Judson, the editor and publisher.
Of little penny paper called "Ned Bun-
Tins Yarn and Mr.. Robert Poterfeli,
in which the latter was instantly killed b,
q, pistol shot. The cause of the difficulty
was Judson's having circulated some iniu-
rious reports in regard to the wife or the
deceased. Jldson was arrested and sent
to Jail. A mob collected, took him from
thence, and hung him in the square. The
rope broke and Judson fell before life was
quite extinct. AT the last accounts judi
son was in iail with his back and leg
broken by leap from the third story Of
the City Hotel, while flying from The pur-
suit of the brother of the deceased-but
whether this took place before or after
the hanging, we were not able clearly 10
ascertain. The city was in a state Of the
most intense excitement. We wait for
