Ill Success OF THE WHALING FLEEr.-Copious
REPORTS from the whaling feet in the Ochotsk and Arc
tie Seas received here ON Saturday, via the Sand
witch Islands and California more than cerroborates
The ufavorabe reports previously received, and have
had a depressing effect upon shpowDers. The fleet
in the Ochotsk Sea comprising about two hundred
san have met with little success since eur previous
advices the whales being scarce and small Inc
average catch will probably not exceed $50 barrels,
which is scarcely more than onehalf the average OF
the previous season. From the Arctic the adyices
are still more disastrous The feet comprises about
ty ss of which up TO the 18th of Sept. last, about
one half have been heard from, and the average does
lot exceed two whales. Nhe ships which had arrived
az The Sandwich Islands including one at Payta, up
10 the 10Th of October eleven in number from both
sess and Kodiec have averaged only III barrels.
The average from the entire fleet last year was 900
barrels
The effect Of the news by this arrival must have an
inward tendency in the market for whale oil.
