TIE Iron CLAD FRIGArE" WARRIoR.'-Th Var
rior is something more than a mere iron-cased veSseL;
1t is such a friga;e as never yet was launched ana
would be far more than a match fer the most power
erful three-decker. To give an idea, however, oil her
size and strength, let US contrast her dimensions ana
armament with those of her predecessors IN time past
The Uarrior is nominally a Sc gun frigate. 10 the
days Of the last war such r ship would have been less
than / 900 tons burden, and would have thrown be-
tween 500 pounds and 400 pounds Of metal ut a broad
side. She would have cost. according TO the usual
computation, about CSC. 900, sud would have been
considered a powerful and efficient vessel. The Var
Fior is of 5000 tons burden; she would throw a
broadside upwards of 400 pounds of metal. and
she has cost, we fear. at least eS6O,OOO, She Is hall
as large again as the largest ship in the navy. and
she would blow the largest ship in the navy out OF the
water. We say nothing of her horse power, for there
was no such item of reckoning in our old marine,
nor of her armor plates, for that Is a feature OF still
greater novelty. Neither shall we expatiate on the
destructive powers which she possesses in Armstrong
guns and incendiary missiles. All We wish TO point
out at present is that in mere tonnage our new So
gun frigate is more than half as long again than the
Duke Of WeiiHsfOR, and that each of her guns IS
about FIVE times the calibre of those with which three
deckers fought their actions in days gone by.-LoR-

Although the number of vessels engaged in
whaling the past season, is only about one-half
that of last year, yet it will be observed that
the total sperm oil taken this year, is about
that for 1850, while the quantity of whale
oil taken this season shows but a small decrease.
The number of right whalers that have cruised
in the Arctic and Ochotsk is G5, which have
brought into port 2013 bbls. sperm oil: 5O,575
bbls. whale oil, and $50 500 lbs. bone, giving
to each an average of 500 bbls. of oil and 1925
lbs. bone. This shows a very decided improve
ment over last seasons report, an increase of 80
per cent, bringing the average nearly up to
what it was in 1857. The following table will
exhibit the total catchings for the past ten years:

In former years the Ochotsk has been consider
ed the best ground, yielding the largest average
of oil. The vast number of whales killed each
season by the Northern whalemen, amounting,
it has been estimated, to not less than 5000
whales of all sizes and kinds, young and old,
male and female, has, rs might well be supposed,
tended to diminish the herds, and to scatter
them into other waters. But so thoroughly
have the bays and seas on our Northern coasts
been searched each year for the past three or
four seasons, that the fact became apparent that
the whales had migratedto some distant locality,
either to the polar seas North of America or TO
those of Europe and Asia. This supposition of
their partial desertion of the North Pacific for
other grounds less frequented by whalemen, APP
pears to be sustained by the fact that the Green
land and Spitzbergen whaling grounds have for
the past two or three years been found to abound
with them, till an increased number of ships
have this season been cruising on both those old
whaling resorts. The effect of this increase of
vessels there has been to cause the whales again
to come back to the Pacific, for we find by our
reports that they have been very numerous both
in the Arctic and Ochotsk. And not only nu-
merous, but, what has been unusual of late
years, many OF the whales taken have been full
grown bowheads, yielding from $50 to 210 bar
rels each-a circumstance so contrary to the
experience of whalemen for the past three or
four wears that it has excited their attention and
curiosity to know where these large animals
have come from. The only plausible SUPPOSE
ton we can assign is that given above, of their
return from other resorts, which is strengthened
by the fact that these are the identical whales
which have made the Greenland seas long so
famous. Almost every captain with whom
We have conversed, says that whales have
never been more abundant during The latter
part of the season-September and October
than this year. IF this be SO, the small num-
Der of ships which will probably visit the
Northern grounds during 1862, will allow the
whales to have a comparatively quiet season,
and lead to their increase. From all that we
can gather respecting the return of whales TO
the Arctic and Ochotsk, the season of 1862
promises to yield a better return to the few
ships that go there, and a larger acreage than
has been had for several years.
Our reports from the ships, which have been
published from week to week during the past
three months, will be found interesting and in
structive to whalemen. Many of the ships
would have done much better, had they been
better differed and manned. The accidents re-
ceived by vessels cruising during the past season
have been comparatively light, if We may judge by
the few repairs called for while in port. Homo
lulu possesses the best advantages of any port in
the Pacific for ordinary repairs. Even as COM
pared with San Francisco, we are not inferior
