The Whale Fishery.

By a tabular statement in the Whale
mans Shipping List, We learn that near
10000 barrels o; sperm oil and over ST..
900 barrels of whale oil have been
brought into the United States during
the year. or this, 2,5l7 barrels ofspcrm
came into the port of New York, (most
of ii Suffolk County, and about 7,7Oo
of the whale. The average price o.
whale oil for '52 has been Gs4 cents,
which is 90 cents more than last year,
and higher than it has been for many
years. The lowest average for any year
since 1910, was 3Oa cents, and it has
been increasing, though not with regu.
larity ever since. The average price Of
sperm has not been quite as high as last
year, but we, the consumers, think that
1898 cents, Wholesale price, averages
full as much as VIC care to pay. for our
light.
Ofthe 2s3 ships cruising in the north
Pacific in '52, the average catch for
those that have been reported in was L.
260 rrels,-double the ierage of 81
but not up to that Of so, which was the
highest for twelve years past. This fact
is encouraging, since many whalemen
have indulged in theory that antici.
patcs a constant falling off Of the sup
ply Of oil from the grounds in future.
On the lst Of January, 1852, the Unit
ed States fleet consisted of599 ships, 80
brgs, and 80 schooncrs, making total
tonnage of 2o6,2se. This is Al ships
more than last year. And Of these, 81

PROSPECTUS OF THE
DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.

The Democratic Review will appear regular
ly on the first of each month. We shall chief
ly discuss new and unsettled subjects, of pres
ent and immediate prospective interest. The
past, except as it offers monuments of guiding
wisdom. will be ignored, We shall defend the
States from encroachments of the federal power.
We shall always endeavor TO present truth, and
shall not strive to mould it TO suit the caprices
indiyidualities of any one. We shall never be
personal, except where the imprudent putting
forth for high duties, persons known TO us aS
incapable, makes it incumbent. We shall
speak of persons as we think they deserve.
High position makes scrutiny mperitive: in tho
Wing, but more especially in our own marty: we
believe in the importance ofthe right sort of
men--that men create the times. rather than
that the times create men-and that no misfor.
tune can befall the Democratic Party SO great as
to have inferior men put at its head. We repudi-
ate the idea that any man has claims upon the
party; but we affirm that the party itself has
claims upon any of its members who have the
integrity and ability to serve 1t,
We intend to urge at the right time, the NOM
inatiOn Of the men who have proved themselves
equal to all the exigencies of the day. Ia,
The work under our hands has been consider-
ably enlarged and otherwise improved in itsme-
chancal execution. There will be every month
one fine engrayipg Of q distinguished democrat of
the present time, statesman, soldier or mechan.
ic, either European orAmerican. The selec-
ton will be always in harmony with the gener-
al principles Of the work. The Review cannot
