The above list comprises fourteen vessels of oO27
tons burthen. The parties who have entered most in
the whaling business are Messrs. Coady & Co., with
four vessels; Messrs. C. A. Williams s. CO., with four
vessels; Messrs. Melchers & Co., with two vessels,
and Messrs. Hoffschlagcr & Stapenherst with two
vessels.
The vessels fitted out this season, are, with one
or two exceptions of a better class than those of the
previous year, and several of. them have gone out as
well furnished as could have been done in any older
whaling port. Messrs. Coady & Co., we think, have
hit upon the right mode of carrying on this business
at this port. When their vessels return to port they
do not commence reftting in the midst of the busy
season when the harbor is crowded with vessels, but
let them lie till January and February, when labor,
recruits and men can be obtained at a much cheaper
rate than during November or December. tits owing
to this fact that they have been able to fit out their
vessels so cheaply, which are ready In the spring
to sail for the North direct, thus lying in port during
the winter and stormy months, when whales are sell
dom taken. The plan of dividing into shares of
eighths and sixteenths which has been adopted must
tend greatly to ensure success, as the loss in cases

If for himself. He found that two gallons of pure
sperm worth So a gallon, mixed with four gallons OF
refined whale oil, made a better article than he conld
obtain under the name of sperm oil, at any OF the
stores within his reach, and not till he had mixed
seven gallons of whale with two of the sperm, did ne
find SO poor an article as the average of the specimens
of sperm oil, so called, which he had purchased nom
the stores.
9. The use of sperm oil, and price, too, might be
again brought up, if the whale catchers, the whole
sale dealers and the retail dealers, also, would unite
in putting only a pure article in the market.
"We have known other articles, ottentlmes' 10
break down in the market, owing to frauds of a SIM
liar character, but there are no articles in which the
fraud of adulteration is so easily perpetrated, e<
pecially in the retail trade, as in oils and N%pirituous
liquors. They are frequently tempered withby every
hand through which they pass, until they reach the
consumer a vile compound of almost everything but
the genuine article which he wants"

of accident is SO divided as to make it light, and
where owners hold shares in two or more vessels, their
chances of success are increased.
We hope that this new branch of business will meet
with success. One whaler fitted out and owned here
and returning from the North with an average catch
will make up for the withdrawal of five or six re-
cruiting ships. The value of their cargoes over the
expense, will be so much added to the actual capital
of the kingdom, and the greater part of any profits
derived from the whaling business will doubtless be
re-invested in it. We understand that Mr.. Coady
goes to New York in the next packet to make arrange
ments for the shipment to that port and disposal of
oil taken in the ships which his firm has the agency
of. Some such arrangement for the speedy sale of
the oil at the highest market rate, is quite as neces-
sary for success as is the fitting out of the vessels.
To sell cargoes of oil, often at a sacrifice, in this port,
where money is auctuating in value, would be bad
policy.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Yesterday we performed the last sad
Offices for one who was highly esteemed and tenderly
beloved in our community; and as she had many
friends in other parts of the islands, who will mourn
with us. / send this communication to you for their
information.
Mrs. Dorcas Richardson, wife of Judge Richardson,
died ct her residence at Waikapu, Maui, at six
O'Clock in the evening of March Ii, in the 25th year
of her age, of acute bronchitis, after an illness of
about two months. All her trust was in the Redeemer
and her friends have good reason to hope that she has
gone to a better, country, even a heavenly. She was
an affectionate wife, a vigilant and tender mother,
and she has left to the care of her weeping husband
and her covenant keeping God six dear children, two
sons and four daughters, the youngest not yet three
months old. The blessings of Israel's God rest upon
them. The large concourse who attended the funeral
Sabbath, p. NJ, the 10Th, testifies to the high esteem
in which the deceased was held. w. P. A.

SPERM On.-In q late number of the Boston
.adUertiser we find the following remarks on the sub
ject of sperm oil
"Several heavy failures among the oil dealers are
announced in the New York and New Bedford papers,
occasioned by heavy losses sustained in consequence
of the rapid decline in sperm oil during the past year.
The decline in sperm oil, which has been almost I'M
paralleled, may be attributed solely to the frauds
which have been perpetrated in the sale of the article
to an enormous extent. Notwithstanding the high
price there would have been always found a good
market for this oil, if it could have been obtained
pure, but it has for some years been impossible to OBJ
tain, except by great effort, any pure sperm oil
while the article which has been retailed at the stores
throughout the country, under the name of sperm oil.
has been very little better than whale oil-not worth
one half the price of sperm. This has led machinists.
manufacturers and house-holders, to look around con-
stantly for substitutes, until the use eff sperm oil has
been to a great extent abandoned.
A friend of ours. who came to the determination
a year or two ago to abandon the use of sperm oil, in
consequence OF the impossibility of obtaining the arti-
Gle pure, having obtained some time previous ., few
gallons of the genuine. cried the experiment of mixing

FREAK OF NATURE.-It is not often that an oppor-
tunity is afforded to witness such a freak of nature as
occurred in our town on Tuesday last. 1t was the
birth of a native child with four legs, and four per-
fectly formed feet. There were two limbs besides,
neither legs nor arms, but mere stumps. The natural
legs and feet were located as in any perfectly formed
child; the other legs are placed in front of these and
are smaller, as are also the feet. Perhaps the best
idea we can give of it to those who have not seen j is,
that it resembles q perfectly formed child excepting
the addition of two extra but smaller legs just in front
of the natural ones, and close above these third and
fourth legs, are the stumps of arms alluded to. The
child has natural arms and hands in their proper
position. Physicians think it may live as it appears
to be in a healthy condition. The mother, a native,
is quite proud of her curiosity.

CANAR1Es.-The petty thieving carried on for some
time past by some sly persons in stealing canarIes
about town has brought out a hand bill offering a
reward of $50, for the recovery of five of the birds
stolen. Canaries will probably be offered for sale
cheap, and we would caution buyers against pur-
chasing birds which may have been stolen.
