THE PACIFIC
Commercial Advertiser.
THURSDAY. DECEMBER 70.

We present herewith our annual review of
the North Pacific Whaling Fleet, showing n
large decrease in the number of vessels which
have been engaged in the fishery, especially as
compared with the fleets of 1852 and So, in each
of which years there were about four times as
many ships employed in this ocean.
Our table on the fourth page shows a total
of so vessels cruising in the North Pacific of
which tlrO, (the Polar Star of New Bedford and
the French ship Cauidinoourt,) were lost in the
ice fire have visited San francisco one will
winter at the North fco which have not done
well, have prolonged their cruises; 6S have ar
rived at these islands, and two are still unre-
ported.
The arrivals may be classed according to their
flags, as follows and compared with the three

NOTES OF THE WEEK.

Honolulu SHIP YARDS AND MACHINE SHoP.-Any
person walking along our water front during the
early part of the week, could not but be astonished
ut the busy appearance of our ship yards and
machine shop. A James Robinson * Co.'S, the
Peruvian ship PetrOniIa was being discharged,
previous to undergoing extensive repairs. At Foster
i Co.'S, the favorite bark Yankee was being thorough
ly overhauled and repaired, and will no doubt be,
after leaving the ship carpenters hands, as staunch
as any of her line. At Burns & Emmes', the Kauai
packet Erect has been overhauled. aud a new main
deck put on. A, the 81 Honolulu Machine Shop" We
found some sixteen hands variOusly employed. and a
large number Of moulds awaiting the hot metal.
The castings would amount probably to two tons,
more or less. and varying all the way from This. to
12OOlbs.. in weight. Que feature which We are
pleased TO notice, WAS the construction of sugar pans.
or coolers, for the Haiku Plantation. an article which
heretofore has always been imported via Cape Horn.
\ centrifugal machine was also being constructed
for Tiicomb's plantation, and a large assortment Of
tools for the shOp,-making altogether one Of the
pleasautest sights which We have seen for many days,
aud a strong disclaimer to the ~croakings of some,
that Honolulu has seen its palmiest days

Mr.. Halls name has been dropped, we learn. Mr..
Webster appears TO be a favorite nominee with both
the natives and foreigners, and his election Will pro-
baby meet no very great opposition. But concern
ing the three remaining candidates to be chosen, We
presume those who work the hardest, will be reward
ed with the desired honor Of representing our metro
polls in the Hawaiian Parliament. The natives ap-
pear to be walked up regarding the Importance OF
having good men to represent them. At the meet
ings thus far held, earnest speeches have been made
by them against any increase of taxes, against the
prostitution act, and against the proposed changes
in the Constitution, and it is doubtful whether any
man can be elected in Honolulu who openly espouses
either of these measures.
