Of the regular packet line between Bos-
ton and Fayal, which arrived at Boston

thus describes the incident: About 7

port bow. Captain Hale stepped to the

which had set upon them, and had she
struck the vessel a little further, the
Kate Williams would probably never
have been heard from after leav-
ing Fayal. As it was, the vessel re.
ceived a pretty good shock, and lost
portion of her mizzen channels. This
monster had seen the bark about the
time the sailor discovered her, for she

vessel as she glided swiftly away from
her unexpected enemy. The whale

Of the leviathans outer skin and the

VOID OF RECOMMENDATIONS AND DECLARATIONS.
IpY TELEGRAPH TO THE rRDuNE.l
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-The President Ggan sub
mtted PORTIONS of his message to his Cabinet at Its
session to-day but omitted to read those portions OF
Il relating to the finances which he Submitted on
Tuesday. The message although not yet fully COM
lted will be shorter than the last and will contain
very few recommendations. 1t will be confined
nrincipally to q recital of the events of q
nubhc character during the past year, and
% the subjects treated in the reports
Of the heads of Departments. As previously stated
in THE TmBUNE. he adheres strongly to the hard
money, specie-paying theory Of finance, but he
neither suggests nor recommends that any specified
time be set apart as date for the resumption of
specie payments. Ee seems to adopt the theory OF
many of the leading Republicans that under the
existing circumstances, considering the fact that the
Democrats are tne eve of taking control of the
popular branch of Congress, it is better to abstain
from taking an aggressive course, and to avoid as
much as possible issues that might further divide
the party.
Thus far in his message the President has had
nothing to say about the Civil Rights bill and there
Is little probability that he will again alude to it,
and no one believes that he will approve the princl
pie as he did before Neither will the President
recommend the sweeping system of internal i'm
provcments in the South which he known to favor
That portion of his message relating to the District
Of Columbia has not yet been prepared. He awaits
