Whale ships from Kamechatka and the North West asl hare just begun lo arrive, but reports of success are not the most favorable. It is probably as yet too early to judge of success, inasmuch as nearly all the arrivals have been occasioned by disasters, which have compelled the ships to Wave the cruising ground. Our paper of to-day will contain a full report of all the intelligence which has been received up to the present date, hence we shall republish a few items which have appeared in former numbers. In publishing this intelligence, it is necessary to report the entire loss of three ships, viz. the Kouolmssett of Sag Harbor, on Pell's Island ; the Baltic ofFuidiaven on Bheenng's Island, and the Columbia of Now London, on an island of the Kings Mill group,—together with an account of these wrecks, we have also to record the dcuth of several officers and other items of misfortune. We much rejoice that no Uvea were lost when tin- above mentioned vessels were wrecked, which is almost an unheard ofprovidence. How seldom do shipwrecks occur when no lives are lost I The fact that three have now occurred and not a single individual perished, most certainly should call f"rth our sincere and devout thanksgiving to the wise care and superintending goodness of divine Providence.
