OUR fisheries! Our fisheries have been carried on, lor a few years past, to a greater ex tent titan at any period, since the dec laration of our independence.— Before the revolutionary war, the, state of Massachusetts aloneemploved £4,000 lons of shipping 4000 seamen in cod fishery. These fisheries were des troyed during the revolutionary war, and for many years afterwards did not regain their original importance. To encourage them, Congress, in 1792 granted a bounty to the owners xaiul seamen ol the vessels employed in the bank or cod-fisheries, and in 1814 this bounty was considerably increased, liming the late war with Great Brit ain our fishermen sustained heavy losses, and the whale fishery, for a time was a.most annihilated ; but since the return of peace, it has revi ved and is now prosecuted, vve believe on a larger scale than ever before.— In IK 18 there were in the districts of New-Bedford and Nantucket, 72 ves sels engaged in the whale fishery, with an aggregate tonnage of 17,158 tons, and from a siatemennt which has just been published in the Nantucket In quirer, it appears, that there are, at this moment, employed in the South ern whale fishery, from the port of Nan tucket alone, nearly twice as many ships as are engaged in ihat fishery from all the ports of England and France. It is also a fact, that most of ol the English and French whaling ships are commanded by Nantucket ami New-Bedford seamen, who have been drawn from their homes by for eign allurements. Bonaparte, it is well known, made great efforts to Ffs tablish a colony of Nantucket men in one of the French ports, and there is, at this time, a colony of Quakers from Nantucket, at Milford Haven in M ales, where they have erected a quay and formed an establishment for the Southern whale fishery. As this employment is perhaps the most adventurous in which men are enga gaged, no small compliment is thus be stowed on the nautical skill and tearless character of American sea men. iV". J'. Observer. Expeditiun of JSlaj or Lorg. I he exploring expedition, con ducted by Major Long of the U. S. army, tookits departure from Phil adelphia on the thirtieth of April last with the view of traversing the Am ei ican territory in a northwest erly direction, anil returning by way ol the great northern lakes— The gentlemen composing the ex pedition accordingly proceeded by way of Wheeling, Fot t Wayne, Chicago, Praire du Chi on and Fort St. Anthony, and to the scource of the river St. Peter. ‘I hey then travelled down the valley of the lied river to its junction with the Assinnipoin, having ascertained, agreeably to their instructions, the point at which the forty-ninth de gree of north latitude, the northern boundary of the United States, crosses that river. Bv this it ap pears that a considerable propor tion of the country occupied by the colony of the late lord Selkirk, or that part of it called the Pembina settlements, is included within the territory of the United States. The jonrney thus far was performed by land, the party being furnished with a sufficient number of horses for the transportation of their baggage and other uses. At this place the expedition em barked on board of bark canoes, in which they descended Ked river to its mouth, crossed the southern extremity of Lake Wenepec, ascen ded Wenepec river, proceeded through the Lake of the Woods, Rainy river arid Lake, and down the Thamana Tekoea to Lake Supe rior. Here they exchanged their ca noes for a batteau, in which they traversed the Lake to its outlet. — During their voyage through the Lake from the 1 5th to the 30th Sep tember, the weather was exceeding ly boisterous, snow squalls having occurred daily for nine days in succession. On the night of the 20th Sept, the snow fell more than three inches deep and the ground remained covered with it through the day following. They pursued their voyage to Mackinaw in the same craft, and there left lieuts. Scott and Denny, and the guard detailed at Fort St. Anthony for the service of the ex pedition, with orders to rejoin the regiment on the Mississippi. They then sailed for Detroit on hoard the revenue cutter A. J. Dal- las where they’ embarked on board! the steam boat Superior and landed at Buffalo. Pursuing their journey home ward, they took their passage on board one of the New-York canal packet boats at Rochester on the Gennessee river and travelled on the canal to Albany whence they took the customary route to this place. W e are happy to learn that no accident or misfortune worthy of particular notice has happened to the partv ; that they were, for the most part, treated civilly by the natives, and with the utmost hos pitality at the establishments of the Hudson Bay Company, several of which they passed on their route- Their tour extended to the fifty first degree of north latitude, and embraced a circuit of more than 4,600 miles, upwards of 3,000 of which were through a savage wil derness, remote from the abodes of civilization. This long aud hazardous expedition has been completed in the short period of three days less than six months, and greatly redounds to the credit of the distinguished scientific officer by whom it was conducted, as well as to his intelligent brother officers and companions. It will also, no doubt, add much to the stock of knowledge of our northwestern ter itory and its resources. Philadelphia Paper. A Daring attempt lo murder. On Friday night, the 3d inst. an attempt was made to murder Col. Hartwell Tucker, High Sheriff of Brunswick county, Va. by George Elliott, a neighbour, for the pur pose, as is supposed, of robbing him of his money, as he had,at the time, about 8,000 dollars, belong ing to the public in his possession. He came to die Colonel’s that eve ning, apparently to pay a friendly visit, and, after sitting till bed-time was conducted up stairs to bed.— The Colonel also soon after retired to rest, in a chamber, below. About midnight, when the Colonel was asleep, Elliot entered his room, and stabbed him in three places in the left side. His life was saved l>v the timely interference of his faithful servant, who was in the kit chen, and, hearing a noise, ran to his master’s room, and seized Elli ot, who gave him a severe stab in the neck. Before other assistance could be obtained, Elliot made his escape, but was taken a few days afterwards by two of the deputy Sheriffs and a nephew of the Colo nel’s, and is now lodged in Bruns wick jail, awaiting his trial. Daleigh Star. Canal. —The survey of the Cum berland and Oxford Canal in Maine has been completed by Mr. Hutch ison, an experienced Engineer from the state of New”-York. Mr. Hutch inson estimates the expense at something short of a hundred and thirty-eight thousand dollars. The friends of the Canal will now, vve trust, go forward with confidence in this noble enterprise. Portland Argus. On Tuesday the 14th inst. was celebrated in the village of Salina, the opening of the junction of the side cut from the Erie Canal with the waters of the Onondaga Lake. .V. V. .Mere. Adt'.

D. \utiior of Physical Observations and Medical i nicts and Researclieson the Topography and Diseases of Louisiana. THE Author of the work ahovemen tioned considers that little need be said in order to set forth its interest and utility to the community at large. It is a subject ir. which all are inte rested, as well the planter as tbe phy sician. Fever is the principal source of mortality in the Southern States, and the annual visitor of our towns, settlements and sea-ports; an acquain tance, therefore With its causes, its na ture, prevention and cure, is among the first lessons of self-preservation. A residence of several years iq the southern states, together w ith conside rable experience in the diseases of the climate, and the aid of study and re flection have, the writer trusts, ena bled him to treat the subject in such a manner as to be hot! useful and inte j resting. It is nearly ten years since ! he turned his attention to the labor and execution of the present work; during which time, the lacts and observations that have fallen within his reach,have (been carefully improved. The result he is now about to give to the public. His aim lias been to render the w ork of essenti.d practical utility, and he has therefore avoided much of the tech nicality of medical language, in order 1 to adapt it to the understanding of all.
