The Reported Destruction OF Whale ships.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD.
Siri-Loohng over your paper Of the 18th inst,
noticed the melancholy intelligence of the total loss
of tho American whaling eetfeet in the North Psci-
fc with comments thereon, which will have the tfect
Of misleading those interested (either pecuniaryo or
otherwise, )-therefore, beg to make few state
ments, which am personally cognirant Of In the
6rst place, then, whale ships do not winter in the
Gulf Of Anadcr, or any other gulf; but sometimes,
too "eager for the fray" masters of vessels take
time by the fOreock and reckless of their own and
of the otherlives entrusted to them push into the
ice, in erder to have the first chance; and thus 4
presume, has this calamitous event happened, IL
such prove to be the truth. Too much opprobrium
merable other cases Inhe next place, IL is stated
las probability that this event did not happen) that
the Armata, of New London, was in Honolulu on the
18th Of October, 1850, full, and bound homo; that
she was full, is quite true, but she not bound
home. ! happened to be aboard Of her at the time,
and beg leave TO state that she there discharged
her crew and cargo, and was bound for another
cruise myself, vas one of those who shipped
by Captain Hoyt for the ensuing cruise, having de-
serted from the bark Bayard, Of Creenport, which
was thence bound for Hong Kong and the Indian
Ocean. Although | cannot but hope, with you,
that the intelligence may prove false, and that .
statements, yet, from the temerity and fool hardy
:ecklessness Of dangers, which IL would appear inn
possible to face, displayed many occasions Of my
own personal experience, by captains, feel assured
that II is, in the main, true. God forbid that
should unnecessarily alarm the public mind; but
when such an alarming event, and which con-
Germs such large body Of our citizens, occurs,
feel u my duty to state what know IN the matter
Further, doubt very much the statement Of quar-
reling with the natives, and will risk the affirmation
Of its untruth, although the same number, or more,
may have perished in THOUSAND other ways
have friends aboard some of the ps reported as
lost, and am anxious for further inform alton
Yours, most respectfully, JAMES SULLIVAN,
Late Of the bark Bayard, Of GreenpoIt.

So full Of rosy hue, my child;
j love to watch thY clear blue eye,
So sparkling and so mild.
Then come to me, my gentle darling,
With thy young heart so glad and free,
Let me stroke those sIlken ringlets-
Come and sit upon my knee.
Thou dream'st not of thy mothers cares,
Her troubled thoughts, my boy;
Thy thoughts are ever playful thoughts,
And full of mirth and joy;
In thy image. pure and harmless.

Mid this world of woe, the sembIance
OF better world above.

Upon thee, lovely flower,
Its dewy perfumed leaves may all
Be scattered in an hour.
My heart, unbidden, heaves sigh,
And brcathes silent prayer,
That storms may gently pass it by
And time its glorles spare.

FAREWELL.

The parting words at last are spoken,
And friendships lost its sweetest spell;
The fond link that joined our hearts is broken
And we once more have said farewell.
Farewell-oh what solemn sound,
A word that bids our hearts dissever,
: upon this mortal ground >-SAa-
To meet again-nh, never-never.
Oh, may that gloomy word to me
Come ever as tender token,
And never in this sojourn be
A signal that my heart is broken.
