THE WHALE FISHERY.

In Massachusetts,, upon the western bank Of the
River Accushnet and in close proximity to Buzzards
Bay rendered famous by the visit of that early voy-
ger, Bartholomew Gosnola, rises small, but stately
civ which is the weahiest probably, in proportion to
ts population of any in the United States. In 1874,
with population Of about IA 900, it possessed proper
ty valued at about Ga OOO and at present, with
population of about 20 0OO its property can hardly be
valued at less than s250OO,OO0. Everywhere within
the narrow limits Of the city proper are seen the evil
denoes Ct substantial property in tasteful residences IN
spacious gardens in the clean and well cared for
streets in large and costly churches and other public
buildings and in the wharves crowded with shippng'
There an amost entire absence of paupensm, pc
cuarty not very common where there also great IN
diyidual wealth although the city has provided one oil
the finest alms-houses in the State. New-Bediord, OF
which we have been speaking, owes this accumulation
of vealth TO the energy with which she has engaged
in the whale fishery Most people unacquainted with
the facts tradopally, asign the greatest importance
TO the fishery Of Nantucket but the little sandy island
of the Qsskers long since fell behind its more energetic
and more fortunate competitor. 1t possessed at one
time fleet Of 20 large and wellappointed ships all
engaged in the sperm oil fishery; on the
let Of January, 1856, it had but 40 ships
and baIks, one brig and schooner, with an

as steadily declined as that of New Bedford has
increased. On the lst of January 1886, the last

ships and banks, making its aggregate tunnage
III 36i The dimiLution of the business of the whale
fishery in Nantucket may he attributed partly to the
upossibly of taking loaded ships into its harbor,
partly to couple Of mott disastrous fires, partly to its
distance from market, partly to the removal OF
several Of its weahiest men from the Island, but
principally no doubt, to tho logged pertlnaclty
with which the Islanders have adhered to the business
of speIm fishing, and have refused to have anything
to do with the more lucrative and compensatug
busine,s Of the Northwest right whale fishery. Tie
latter enterprise has been carried on with great energy
BY the people of New Bedford, and more than once
when the sperm oil trade in very disastrous
condition their whale oil has saved them from
bankruptcy. The relative position of cities and towns
engaged in the business will be from the following

vidual losses, and several bankruptcies among large
holders for manufacture and speculation. This alarm
ing fall has created no little discussion among the bust
ness men Of Bedford, and several acrimonious
articles on the subject have appeared in the journals of
that CITY. The fall is partly attributed to extensive
and fraudulent authorizations with whale and lard oil.
Il is ,toutly denied that this adueratOn is practcedin
the original market and it is asserted that the oil is
dOctored after it leaves NewBedford. To the con-
sumer it i, Of very lstle consequence where or by
whom the fraud is practced. That it is practiced,
and that too most extensively, no one can doubt who
has tried TO buy sperm oil for domestic purposes in
Boston or New-YOrk This Of itself is sufficient to
keep down the price. Whether it will pay to chase
sperm whales, growing yearly shyer and scarcer with
voyages averaging forytwo months in the Pacific and
fifteen months in the Atlantic, and with oil at 81 3ll,
the New-Bedford merchants viii probably decide for
themselves. The following is q statement of the
prices Of sperm and whale oil and bone on the LIST and
18th of each month Of the year 1856, together with the

reasonable to ask US to pay as much as England

But DO such expectation is entertained by our Gov

10 the probable service and that the conditions OF
