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.

'~ '• In closing our remarks, there is one fact which we have learned respecting the seamen of the Galathea that speaks volumes in favor of the education of the common people among the Danes. We are informed that a majority of the seamen have kept journals of their cruise, and there is not probably one on board who is unable to read and write. The same remark cannot be made in regard to the crew of any othernational vessel that has waters, ever visited ourisrahsi ■ THE DANISH SETTLEMENT OF SERAMPORE TRANSFERRED TO THE E.I. COMPANY On the 9th of last October the English flag was hoisted at Serampore, and the Danish rule ceased. If we have been correctly informed, the East India Company paid about the sum of $600,000 to the Danish Government for the settlement. There are some historical facts connected with the Danish Government at Serampore worthy of being remembered. It is well known that when the English Baptist missionaries first went out to India, they were very much opposed by the East India Company. They were not allowed to prosecute their labors within the British dominions! Cary, Ward, Marshman and others ofkindred spirit found an asylum in Serampore, only 14 miles from Calcutta. There they enjoyed protection and favor. To the lasting honor of the Danish Governor let these facts be ever remembered. In the hands of a wise Providence he was instrumental in conferring incalculable blessings upon India. It is the more remarkable that the Danish Governor should have exercised so lenient a policy towards the dissenting missionaries, when in Denmark the laws are now, and for a long time have been, very strict in ohecking the progress of sects dissenting from the Established Lutheran Church. The inquiring reader will naturally be led to ask the reason for the difference between the policy of the Danish Government at home and abroad. A most satisfactory solution of the fact is found in the circumstance, that the Governor of Serampore had enjoyed the instructions of that most excellent Danish mis- sionary, Christian Frederick Schwartz. He was one of those great and rare men that are occasionally raised up by God for the accomplishment of great and good purposes. Now that Serampore has become merged in the vast British empire of India, it is a subject of devout thanksgiving that the settlement is �, THE 165 FRIEND.

About four years since, it will be recollected by some, that the master of an American whale ship by the name of Rogers, made himself notorious in this community by heading a company of officers and seamen, and marching through the streets. The native police were compelled to flee. The following day ho was fined $99 70. Alter returning to the United States, being unable to obtain a vessel, he went to Europe and shipped as a whaling master. He drew $1,000 on the owners and then fled to England.
