WHALEs.-Capt. Molteno of the schooner Maria,
informs US that q school of sperm whales entered
Kalepolepo Bay one day last week, and were driven
out by two humpback whales. In the course OF the
day the sperm fish returned and were again driven
away by the humpbacks, who appear to consider that
as their own territory. At all events, the latter are
to be seen in the bay almost every day. The sch.
HaaLiIio which is cruising there, was chasing after
the humpbacks, and did not see the others. Capt.
Sherman stands a fair chance of striking a few more
before he gives up his cruise.
BURGLARY.-The premises of Mr.. Grant on Nuuanu
avenue were entered on Wednesday last, and 4 box
containing about $40 in coin stolen.
ANoTHER-The dwelling of Rev. Mr.. Turner was
entered on Friday night, and his clothes stolen from
his bedside. Fortunately nothing of any value was
in them. These cases should warn housekeepers to
be on their guard.

of Dr McKisbin was entered last night, by China
men, and some thirty lbs. of opium stolen A police
man usually sits or sleeps on the doctors steps-but

OUR FRIENDS.

We feel ourselves under great obligations
to those friends who have voluntarily sent US
lists of new subscribers from Boonville, Fort
Branch, Poseyville, and other post offices in
the adjoining counties. We should be glad
to have many others follow so good an ex-
ample. The long evenings Of the winter are
upon US, in which the farmers have abund-
mt leisure for reading, and they will find .
we'll filed weekly paper the cheapest and
most interesting recreation they can procure.
One of our employees the other day counted
the number of different articles contained in
one number CT the WEEKLY JOURNAL, and
he found them to be two hundred and fifty
five. Surprising each article to contain the
statement of but one single fact, it would ap
pear that every subscriber obtained know
ledge of two hundred and fifty five interesting
and useful items Of knowledge, for four
cents. This is certainly obtaining knowl-
edge at cheap rate. The poorest newsPa-
per must be worth. to every one who reads it,
q grea. deal more than its cost. No man,
who has any appreciation Of tho value Of
knowledgs, would allow his family to be
without two or three good newspapers
They afford the cheapest education, that can
in any way be obtained.

THE PALMER HOUSE AT INDIANApoL1s.-
The pruprietors of this large and well known
House at the Capital, are endeavoring to Sc
duce the popular Landlord of the Pavilion
away from us. The State Sentinel informs
us that very eligible and advantageous offers
have been made to Col. DREW, to purchase
the Palmer House; and says the matter is
yet under consideration. If the Coloncl's
merits and services to the Democracy are
duly appreciated and rewarded, he will have
higher and more honorable aspirations than
even presiding over the old Democratic Head
Quarters at the Capital of the State. If he
is not to change his sphere, we shall not
yield our claims upon him, for we have not
only cherished him, rs a citizen, but we have
heaped political honors on his shoulders. Tn,

Hogs.-Farmers and packers appear to be
approaching to mutually satisfactory terms for
hogs. The packers have pretty much made
up their minds that 1t will be SAFE to offer
$50 for good hogs, and begin to think that
with the present prospects of both foreign
and domestic markets, they must make
some concessions. $3.50 would, We think
be paid here for good hogs, and perhaps a.
75 or even $500 for very large and superior
hogs.
At Cincinnati the market is very dull for
hogs. The quotations are $3.50 to $3.50. AT
Lexington, KY, Packers are buying at &5,25
to as, 80 on four months time. In the Interi-
or of Ohio and Pennsylvania the quotations
are from - to $3.50 gross.
At Louisville 5000 had been received up
to Monday and only 1900 killed, mostly on
farmers account. No price had been fixed
on between buyers and sellers. At Bowling
Green lot of 300 hogs weighing on an av-
erage 800 pounds, had come in, but no sales
were reported. A buyer from Baltimore
was in that vicinity for 200 head, but had
made No engagement. In Garrard and Boyle
counties farmers were selling for IS gross,
cash, or $S so on time.

THE RESPITE OF MULLENIx.

A correspondent Of the State Journal, at
Greencastle, tells how the respite of Mullenix
was obtained. The father of the prisoner, by
dint of importantly, got small number of
the citizens of Putnam county to sign pc
tition to the Governor to commute the pun
ishment of the murderer to imprisonment for
life. This the father presented to the Cover
nor, and implorcd the interposition of his
power to save the life of his son but the
Governor was memorable. AS last resort,
and almost in despair, he went to Hon. VIM.
Walpole, Of Hancock, and Mr.. Roberts, Of
Indianapolis, and gave them his notes for
large sum as . fee for their services to procure
o reprieve for his son. Through the influ-
encc of Mr.. " alpole, the Governor changed
his determination, and granted to the lawyer
what he refused to the father, and on the day
before the execution, issued a reprieve for
thirty days. With this order, they fastened to
Greencastle, where they arrived late on the
night preceding the execution. The next
morning transcript Of the case was taken
and an appeal entered to the Supreme Court.
1
his trial could find no ground for such pro-
ceeding, the acts Of the new attorneys arc
supposed to be only for the purpose Of sus.
pending the execution of the law by some
technical quibbles, in the hope that some.
thing may yet turn up to save the life of tn,
prisoner. On Friday morning, while thes,
attorneys were preparing the documents il
the court house for the appeal, large crow,
Of citizens of the surrounding country as
semblcd to witness the execution. On learn
ing what had been done, and how it had beef
accomplished, the people became very mucl
exasperatcd, and would have dealt harshly-
it is said--with the attorneys, but they hurri
edly left toyn.
The murder had been most cold bloodc,
and heartlcss one upon q young and unof
Tending wife. and was attended by no cir
cumstance Of mitigation, that entitled tn
prisoner to mercy. The appearance of bri
berry and corruption in the proceedings b
which the reprieve was procured, created a
intense excitement, and in the fury Of tn
moment, mob commenced IN assault o
the Jail with the determination Of taking tn
prisoner and executing the sentence Of til
court in spite Of the Governors orders. TIL
Sheriff promptly placed on armed party with
J in the walls Of the Jail to protect the prisone
This resolute conduct Of the Sheriff and til
counsel of cooler heads, finally induced tn
crowd to refrain, and the prisoner and ii
Jail were left unframed.
