New Guinea.

Some three months since. we Published tele-

Sydney paper announcing that Captain in the
Royal Navy had taken formal possession Of the isl
aud Of New Guinel. Some doubts were entertain
ed at the time as TO the correctness Of the report.
We now find in the Sydney HsralI letter from
Capt G. B. Yule of II. b. NJ. ship RatiIesnake,
corroboraing what was published hut intimating
that the Greens Government could not second
his act without an established government Of
some kind in New Guinea. We extract a para
graph or two from his letter:
The gentlemen have mentioned seemed TO
entertain some suspicion that foreign European
power has design upon the part OF New Gni-

important TO prevent it's occupation by such an

formal possession of the territory in the Queens
name, as it gives title superior to any subse-

the Imperial Government wouli willingly pro.

Whale Oil and Petroleum.

While whale oil is becoming every day more
scarce. the increase 10 the production Of pc
troenm. or coal oil is most wonderful. The first
export Of petroleum frOm the United States
took place in 1869, consisting of $50 barrels and
the sule Was heraJrd in the press as special
item of news. Ia 1861, the exports increased 10
100000 barrels, aud the growth of the trade de-
veloped each succeeding year with wonderful
rspdiy till 1872 when the last official report
gave an export Of $50 100000 gallons, sent to
nearly every country in the world. The pOrt II
Bremen alone took about 100000 gallons Of
crude petroleum. which on its arrival ont is re-
fined and shipped abroad under flvorte brands.

truieum to the interests Of commerce" says the
Boston Globe has been remarkable, but not
more remarkable than has been The growth of The
business. The ups aud downs Of the trade have
been numerous. making many persons weslthy
but rlore poorer. Capitalists have combined TO
control the trade and prices, but where they have
succeeded once they have failed half dozen

Of petroleum from New York and other ports
since February (seven mOnthsl amounted to
l45535 3O5 gallons against 99.2lS.635 gallons
during the same lime in 1872. At the present
time there are l35 vessels loading with petroleum
at New York 79 at Philadelphia, and quite a
number a, Baltimore"
lsit any wonder that the whale-fshery should be
depressed. when it has to contend with a materi-
al which shows such rapid development, and
the demand for which increases as fast as its pro-
ducliun? At latest advices, crude petroleum
can be purchased at the wells in Pennsylvania
for Sl.l5 per barrel and the price for refined
coal oil ranges from 2Or@3Oc per gallon in the
Atlantic cities.
