Review of the Whale Fishery for 1874.

From the New Bedford Wkaleuea's Sbippiny
Last Tor Jan. 18Th. we make the following extracts
Although the past year has not been one Of
large pron. 10 car wbAiemen. We are able 10 state
today that the business wears a more cheerful as
pect, with a promise OF a brighter future.
The number % profitable voyages arriving was
not greater than during the previous year, but,
with better prices prevailing, a more hopeful feel
i0g has bern engendeTed.
The Sect in the Arctic Ocean the past simmer.
met with good success during the latter part OF the
season, IS ships takins an aggregate OF 1880 bar
rels OF oil. and lss-50O pounds Of bone. being an
average of l.l65 barrels Of oil and l2,6S3 pounds
Of bone. about double that OF the previous year.
Three vessels on Kodiak and in Bristol Bay took
1928 barrels oil. an average Of about SIS barrels
each. and .6s7 pounds bone.
The Ochotsk Sea whaling was n failure, 9 vessels
taking unitedls but 2.seS barrels Of oil and $4,000
pounds bone; the whales, formerly plenty in that
locality, apparently having been exterminated, or
gone to other parts. Although occasionally a sea-
son in The Arctic Ocean is partly = failure. judging
from the present and past, il would seem Eeltsona-
Bile that q moderate number Of ships could con-
tinue to prosecute their voyages in that ocean tor
many years to come. and considering the advanc-
ing price OF the products obtained, particularly OF
whale bone, We do not believe our merchants will
allow this branch Of our business, once 50 remu-
nersive, TO be entirely given up.
The aeet during the coming year will be distrib-
uted nearly as follows North and South Atlantic
6S vessels; Indian Ocean Il vessels; Pacific Ocean
and New Zealand 80 vessels; Cumberland Inlet
and Hudson's Bay 4 vessels; North Pacific Is yes
sells.
The demand for oil and whale bone has coutiR-
ued good throughout the year. the markets having
been without marked fluctuations. aud with prices
slowly but steadily advancing. With an Increased
Importation of sperm oil during the coming year,
1t would be natural TO look for a decrease In price,
but whale oil. considering the present prospects of
lard and other oils, srems quite low; while whale
bone, with q constantly reduced importation. ought
10 command good figures.
Whale oil opened the year at 81 cents for Arc
tic, slightly declining during the summer months,
and closed the year at GA cents, at which price it
would be difficult to purchase.
Humpback and South Sea oil during the year
have varied from $4,000 cents, closing at the latter
figure.
Whale bone opened at sl@SIl0, continued firm
throughout the year, and advanced during the fall
months to SI.25. which price is still maintained

England and the various countries of Europe.
In such a case, 1 can assure Your Majesty Of a

these Islands, have never ceased to take the liveliest

lations on my return from the United States, where
1 have been received so Hospitality. 1 look forward
with pleasure to a time when I may be enabled to
visit Europe. and especially England, whose Sove-
reigns have always taken so much interest in the
welfare and independence of this Kingdom, and
where I feel assured that I should receive a cordial
welcome.

The New Postal Telegraph Bill.

The Postal Telegraph bill introduced in the House
by General Butler proposes that all telegraphic lines
of communication shall be made post roads, and the
Postmaste General is authorized to advertise for the
transmission of all Government dispatches, in the
same manner as mail lettings are now advertised.
Second 2 provides that all the companies shall receive
and forward dispatches from other companies, with
out any extra charge for designating the point where
the same came upon its line, and prohibits any pre-
ference being given to any class of business; and it
also prohibits the several companies, inland and
ocean, being interested directly or Indirectly in the
collection and transmission of commercial news.
Section 4 requires the rates for special kilograms to
newspaper and commercial associations to be the
same, which rates shall be publicly displayed; such
rates in no case to exceed the rates charged to the
Associated Press and American Press Associations
on the LIST of January 1875. Section 5 provides that
all kilograms shall be privileged communication in
law to the same extent that sealed letters ere now,
and the contents shall not be divulged by any agent
or officer of the company, except for the purpose of
justice by order Of a Court of competent jurisdiction.
Section 9th makes the tariff uniform to all parties
for similar services, Government messages, when
certified by the proper officer, to have precedence
without prepayment, at rates to be fixed annually
by the Postmaster-General all other kilograms to be
transmitted in the order received, except those desig-
mated to go at night. Section 7 makes divulging Of
the contents Of any telegram, or the injury of any
line or apparatus, a misdemeanor, punished By fine
and imprisonment.
