The New Bedford Shipping List Of Jan 10,
contains It's annual review % the whaling bust
ness Of the United States for 1864. We copy
from it. as fully a. our limits Will permit;
The year 1861 has Witnessed q further decline in
the number Of vessels employed in the business, ami
the number now thus employed - less than at any
time within the last twenty-five yeaIs, being ZI6. with
Oh aggregate u 1882 tons.
ON the whole the success Of the Northern feet has
not been very encouraging; for although oil and bone
are commanding apparently high prices, yet almost
every article Of merchandise has advanced more than
cur staples, and the enormous expense attending a
whaling voyage in these times, will require q much
larger catch TO make any favorable compensation to
owners Of these vessels
The success in the Hu1son's Bay willing, did not
come up TO our expectations the past year. The great
difficulty appears 10 be the short time between the
breaking up O; the ice aud the closing up OF the
same, rendering the season available Tor whaling ex-
tremeiy short. Whales seem to be plenty, but they
are very shy and difficult TO capture.

From present appearances the import OF Sperm %!
will be considerable less this year than ia 1864 The
feet on the Pacific Coast 5 very small, and doing
very little, with one or two exceptions. The South
Pacific fleet IL also much reduced and have done
poorly; very few ships are in the Indian Ocean.
The import Of Sperm Oil for the year Is 8 1872 bbls.
6s3 bbIs. less than in 1868; of Whale Oil, 1853 bbls.
an excess Of $3.50 bbls. over the preceding year; of

FOREIGS.-Our readers are no doubt rs hungry az
we are for q morsel of foreign news, but they must be
content this week with the crumbs picked from under

what the news will be, but from the fact that the war
vas becoming altogether q one sided game, there is
but little room 10 doubt wba; it may be. If the tele-
graph IS repaired, We ought TO have Washington
dates to about the 21st Of February-three weeks
later than We now have. Both the ship InpcriuI
and bark Snyrni0te ought 10 arrive during the next
three or four days.

sudden deaths have occurred at Lahaina during the
last week or two, for which no causes are assigned
but the cold and damp houses in which the natives
live. During each rain, the thatch dwellings be-
come damp and everything inside Of them moist and
widowed, causing colds and fevers to the inmates,
which too frequently terminate in death. Until the
poor houses they now occupy can be substituted by
frame ones, or al least by well-ventilated and foored
grass houses. no physicians, medicines nor hospitals
can stay the deaths.

After Lorenzo Dow had retired TO his

collected in tho 5ar.room to enjoy their

part Of the country. At n latn hour in tho

pcsiion was Instantly received with appro-
baton and accordingly Mr. Dow was aroused

This created no httlc surrrisc. But, &C

This was also done; and, at Loronzo's di

TUE NAME OF ILLINOIS The Chicago
Post says the name of the Stale of Hi
nois originated in ,his manner:
"A party Of Frenchmen set out upon
an exploring expedition down the river,
which they afeIward named, providing
themselves wiki bark canvass, and lely-
ing chiefly for their subsistence upon the
game. They found nj the confluence OF
this river with the Mississippi, an island
thickly wooded with black walnut. Ii
was al a season OF he year when Tie nuts
were lipe, and his party of explorers,
encomping upon lhe island, greatly en-
joyed The luxury Of this fruit. From
this circumstance they called The island
the Island OF Nuts'-or, in French, Isl.
aar noiS'-which name was given 10 The
liver they explored, and thence to the
territory and Stale. This explanation
OF The word illinois more fully accord
with the orthography of the word, wh;cl
has certainly French termination-aut
tho rapid pronunciation of the Frencl
Isle aur nOiS' would naturally lead t
tho Anglcsm Of the terms into its pres
,ent shape illinois,"
