The Whale Oil Trade.

The following is summed up from the New Bedford
newspapers:
The importatons of catchngs is reported at 81 632
oarreS sperm oil, 76,I23 barrels whale OIL and GA 400
pounds whalebOne in 1864 the import was IS 900 bbs
sperm OIL, 5000 bbls whale OIL and 10000 pounds
WnaIebone. The stock of sperm on hand and on
Shlp3oaTd Is stated at 1900 bbls and the stock on
han4 In England at 8 400 bbls The importation of
whae OIL during the year 1866 will be from so OO To
pounds. " O'''' ~ O''''00
= Eight whalers were wrecked during last year. and
destroy ed by pirates notwithstanding which
Ihe Whole wnailng fleet numbers only seven vessels
less thhn II dld year ago. There was n number OF
femafkaoIy prohtabl voyages during last year The
most successful cruise ever made in the atlantic
sailed May lOth and at last report had taken S2 bar
res sperm ana 81 barrels whale oil in the short space
of six months
The average price of whale oil during 1865 WAS
9l43 per gallon OF sperm OIL 50 2i and of Whalebone
Sl5S per pound; these being the highest prices for
the past twenty -hve years, excepting of bone which
was exceeded III 1864 The average catch of the North
Pacific fleet was 63i barrels, increase of ia per
vessel the average OF the previous year One bnn
drGd and thirty mine vessels sailed during the year
and one hundred and two arrived home The ton
mage of the present whaling fleet is s,62S The
amount of tonnage engaged in the trade has pretty
regularly decreased since 1915, when it was 2l8 655
the mum Der of vessels engaged being 6i3.
The advance in prices has given a new impetus To
business, and large additions have been made during
the past few months to the feet of whalers The
stock of sperm oil existing is very small; the total
supply for the year 1866 is estimated at 900 barrels
This country and Great Britain alone require nearly
double that amount to supply their light houses.

WASHINGTON ITEMS.
RADICAL STRENGTH DECREASING


1t is important to know how strong that fac
ton now is in Congress. 1t is apparent that
il has lost ground since the organization OF
Congress. 1t is neither so fierce, nor so clamo-
rous nor soSontident, now as 1T was when the
House first passed the District Negro Suffrage
bill. AT one time the imposition OF negro
mirage on the eleven southern States was the
est of Northern loyalty. But II is believed
~ close observers that not more than sixty
members of the House are now disposed to
make negro suffrage the condition sine ga non
of Southern representation.
ACCIDENT AT THE NEGRO CELEBRATION.
While Senator Wilson, of Massachusetts,
was speaking, the platform gave way, and Gre
ated quite a sensation. No was injured, how
ever, beyond few bruises, though there was
n general mixing up of all hands, and report
was current that colored boy had his back
broken, and a woman seriously hurt.
RELEASE OF A RUSSIAN EXILE.
At the request of the United States, Sir
Michael Mayendorff, q Russian, who had been
exiled to Siberia was granted permission TO
remove from Siberia to the United States, and
has arrived in Washington. We hope the
Emperor of Russia will intercede for Mr..
Davis.
POWERS OF UNITED STATES ASSESSORS.
Tharthe assessor has no right to review any
assessment made by him, and which has been
transmitted to the collector and paid, and that
the assessor has no authority under law TO re-
quire any man TO appear for examination In
regard to such returns nor compel him to sub
nit his books for examination, ana that the
assessors proceedings in such cases are null

information OF others, Is sufficient not only TO
authorize me, but, in my estimation, TO make II
nv duty TO advise all those who are DESTROYS OF
seeking new homes not TO give up their present
ones and emigrate to Mexico until they shall
have examined the country in person, or ascer-
tanned through some friend, on whose Judg-
ment and experience they can rely, that their
situations will be bettered. Above ALL let no
man who has n wife and children carry them
to Mexico until he has secured certain home
and fair prospect of support for them. BY
observing this caution much disappointment
