Almost every day exposes some new avenue
TO employment and wealth to the citizens of
our city and State. By the arrival Of the
schooner e. l.. Frost, few days since, infor-
nation Of the voyages of two vessels in our
harbor, the object of which had been previously
shrouded in mystery, was received. This YES.
sci, under the command Of Captain Hamstead,
in company with the brig Zoe, Capt. Rogers,
and barque N. s. Perkins, Captain Allen, OF
New London, had been on sealing voyage TO
Robin Island, near Cape Patience, in the
Ochotsk Sea, situated in latitude As deg. 80
min. 10 sec., and longitude l44 deg. % min
1t is only about thirty.fve miles in circumfer
ence. From this island the schooner took
seven thousand fur seal skins, and sixty barrels
seal oil, worth, according TO quotations, near
$4,000; the brig obtained ten thousand skins,
and proportionate quantity Of oil, worth about
$4,000 and the barque, thirteen thousand
skins and six hundred barrels oil, Ia part Of the
latter probably whale oil, worth 100000.
This was very successful voyage, particu-
larry considering the triAing amount of capital
invested. The barque was less than six
months from the time she left Guam, obtained
her voyage and arrived at the Sandwich islands.
The rookery on the island, il is likely, will re-
quire some time 10 increase its stock, but there
are other places in the Northern ocean where
they could be found. On the voyage the E.
l.. Frost carried away her mast, oblgine her
to put into Matsmai or Masoumny, the capital
Of the island Of Jesse, for repairs. On enter.
ing the harbor, the vessel was Immediately
boarded by number Of richly-dressed Japa-
nese officers, each armed with two swords ele-
gantly mounted with silver and gold, who on
learning her distress, sent carpenters on board,
and otherwise furnished every facility TO get TO
sen again. Captain Hemstead speaks highly
of the kindness shown him, but says they ex-
pressed great anxiety for his hasty departure

TO invite attention 10 the subject IN my report
Of last year, and again advert TO il because sub.

WINGED me that thorough check Of the accounts
under the present system is wholly mpracticabie.
Such check is indispensable 10 the safety of the
