WHALING IN THE NORTH PAcIFIc.-The
opinion is prevalent, remarks the Commercial
Advertiser, of Honolulu, of a recent date,
that the whale fishery in the North Pacific
must soon cease to be profitable, from the
constant destruction of SO many whales as are
annually killed. 1t is supposed that the num-
Der destroyed in this ocean alone, amounts to
three thousand each year. However plaus-
BILE this theory may be, the annual decrease
appears, from the observation OF shipmasters,
to be quite immaterial The average eatchings
Of the ships which have returned to Honolu-
lu, would appear 10 confirm this, for the av-
erage this season is rather better than last sea-
son, and varies but little from that of the past
four years.

ACCUMULATION OF q. S. SOLDIERS IN KAN
zAs.-The n. Y. Eoening Post, speaking of
the new practice of stationing the army
among our own peaceful citizens, says:
1.-The sort of military despotism was begun
in Kanzas by President Pierce, and the rapid
ity with which it has spread there, ought to
alarm the country. AT the end of the first
three months of the year 1866, we had but
35l soldiers in Kanzas. AT the end of six
mouths there were 912 there. At the com
mencement of the year 1856, we had 1886
there at the commencement of 1857 we had
1912 there, and in October last, onr military
force in Kanzas numbered 25l5, just the
number as near as Mr.. Stanton can calcu-
late, of the pro-alavery party in Kanzas.
Thus, for every man who desires slavery in
that territory and the adoption of the Lee
compton Constitution, the government pro-
vides a soldier to overawe and discourage the
twelve or fifteen thousand people who de-
nounce the Constitution as a fraud

Mr. HALB's SPEBcH.-The late speech of
Hon. John P. Hale, in the Senate, on Kansas
affairs, and the Lecompton Constitution, is we'll
spoken of by Washington letter writer's. We
shall give some extracts from it when we receive
it in full. The correspondent Of the Concord IN.
H Independent Democrat, writing from Wash

"The main feature of the week here has been
Mr.. Hale's great speech in the Senate, considered
here the very best of his life l will not attempt
to give you any synopsis Of his speech, as YOU
will have it entire. Ills peroration, both from
the matter and the way in which it was delivered,
was absolutely terrific l never saw such an eff.
feet produced upon the Senate. When he ap.
psuled to the people of Kansas to resist the i'm
position of the Lecompton Constitution upon
them, to blood and to death, and warned
the Shareholders that if they persisted in the at.
tempt, ii would light the flames of civil war, and
create another crusade, which would free this
land OF despotism, he rose to the highest pitch
of sublime oratory; and many strong men who
listened, declared that they had never had their
blood so stirred before.
You can get no adequate idea of the effect pro-
duced, by merely reading the speech. When he
closed there was applause, but a silence more
significant and impressive than any outward dem
onstration that could have been given. You
could have heard pin drop in the Senate gal
leries. 1t was some seconds before any one
stirred, and before even the Vice President broke
the silence by putting the question.
A great many Senators and others crowded
around Mr.. Hale to congratulate him upon his
speech among Others Francis P. Blair, Sr, the
