Important TO WHALERs.-It is said by WASH
ington correspondent of the Charleston Mercury,
that Lieut.. Maury, of the National Observatory,
has come to the conclusion that the whales in the
Pacific Ocean have particular resorts at certain
seasons Of the year, where the whalers may gener-
ally expect to find them-as the shad, and salmon,
and herring and other fish are generally found.
He endeavoring to work out this conclusion, and
fix the localities of the resort of the whale by the
aid of all the information he obtain from null
hilarious logs of whalers If he should succeed, it
will be o vast importance to the whaling interests,
as it will reduce the expense of the outfit of
whaler, shorten the length of the voyage, and in
crease the probability of finding whales almost to
certainty. These are grand results to achieve, and
should Lieut.. Maury be successful, will bind an
unfading wreath to his brow"

RED REPUBLICAN. Extract from the Paris
correspondent of the Boston Chronotyre.l- Your
readers will remember that after the instruction
some most horrible stories of barbarties committed
by women, were circulated in all the conservative
papers proofs of the horrors proper to the red
public. The woman charged with the worst of
these outrages has just been tried and acquitted,
the whole story having been proved beyond doubt
to be mere fabrication.

LATER FROM MoNTEvIDEo.-The New York
Herald is in receipt of files of the Concrete del
Plata TO the oath October. The rumors of French
expedition of 5000 men against Buenos Ayres, had
created much excitement there, and Rosas was sup
posed by many to be holding Mr. Southern, the
English minister, in suspense as to his reception,
until he could see how French policy towards
Buenos Ayres would be shaped Mr. Southerns
position toward Rosas' Government remained the
same as at last advices-that is, Rosas refused to
receive him unless he avowedly came to treat on
the basis laid down by Mr.. Hood, the first English
commissioner, with the notifications which were
accepted by the legal Governments of the republics
of La Plata Mr. Southern would not accept such
a recognition, he does not and cannot bring such
instructions. He had, however, intimated that,
though not accepted as minister, he should remain
in the country in private capacity

AMERICAN THEATRE.-Last night Mr.. Booth
appeared as Othello to the satisfaction of hume
rous and attentive audience. His reading and
conception were beautiful throughout
in the third act; the celebrated scene between
OtheLo and Lago was never better rendered than
last night; and in the fifth act, the agony of mind
with which he exclaims
, II have no wife"
drew tears from some of his auditors. Mr.. Jamison
personated the william Iago admirably, adding
much to the general interest of the play his final
exit was amid a round of applause. Mr.. Charles,
as Cassie, and Mrs. Pope and Mrs. Greene, as Des-
demona and Emilia, all deserve credit, as indeed do
the whole company, for the clever manner in
which the piece was performed throughout. After
"Othelo,' the humorous farce of Box and Cox %
was capitally acted by Messrs. Keller and Spear,
and sent the audience laughing to their homes.
Tonight Mr.. Booth appears as Hamlet, with Mr..
Jamison as the Ghost, and strong distribution Of
the other characters This is one of Mr.. Booths
most popular parts-moreoverN Mas not been played
here this season. But few nights more are left
on which the public can witness the performances
of this sterling actor, and we strongly recommend
them to make the most of the time
