In gcnoral, tho Unwieldy leviathan exhibits no symptoms of a choleric temperament; and appears altogothpr unconscious of tho system atic warefure' so zealously waged upon his tribe, by the insignificant occupants of tho su- porincumbeut element. He knows nothing of their long and laborious crusades in machines moved by wind—he dreams not of their egg shell shiplings, in which, bout on death, and at mod with the picrcirg javelin, fasleucd to end less cords,, they pull themselves into his pre sence—nor does ho often heed the slight skiff as it slides towards him likoa six-logged gnat along TO THE PUBLIC. .

OfMEACHtuIi MilUdgtvillt, November if, 1826. lance stings him in tlio shoulder, or the horn of his on.-my, tho sword-fish, perforate bis rotund 6c oleaginous sides, no exasperated demon could evince stronger indications of wrath, rago and madness. At first, ho plunges incontinent into the deep abyss—then, wheeling upward, ho urges his immonse body at full length into the air, lashing with his ample fluke tho foaming wave, and rending to atoms every substance, within his reach. In tho inonih of December, tho summer of the southern hemisphere, a Nantucket ship was cruising for whalos on tho coast of Chili. Nothing could exceed tho placid smoothness of the soas,or tho pellucid azure of the overhanging firmament. There, was just enough of motion in the atmosphere to propel tho vessel in hor course, and to invigorate her crew with the spirit of dntorprize. , Every sail was sot, and every bosom swelled witit the hope of a speedy accomplishment of tho object of ihoir ex pedition. Tho continont, and all the usual abodes of mortals, were far, far away. Home, and its sweet endearments, woro remembered as a by-gone vision; and considered in the fu ture, os saints think of heaven. The occasion al scream of au albatross, circling in tho tiluo expanse—tho monotonous dash of -tlie ship’s stem through tho scarcely resisting waters:—in termingled with the varied tones of a few hu man voices conversing familiarly on deck, wore the only sounds which distinguished that rogion from the primeval roalm of - ■’Silence coeval with Eternity.” ...^uddealv,.H. JUalW.liissing eructation like dying volcano, broke upon the ready cars of the seamen. A cry from the mast bond announced the appearance ofthoir prey; and at tho same instant the crew found themselves surrounded on oil sides by an oxtonsivo shoal of whales, floundering and spouting, and blowing, like so many English trumpeters at tho battle of Wa terloo. Forthwith, three boats were lowered manned, and supplied with all tho usual para phornalia, harpoons, lances, towliucs, waifs, oars and paddles; with n sail, a' bag of bread and a keg of water to each. They hud but ti short distance to row, ere they enmo in contact with their mighty enemy. Tho boats were severally commanded by the shipmaster and two of of his mates, assisted by their respective boatstecrer*, to whom tlie duty of strikiug the tho whale is ordinarily assigned. Tlie lar board waist boat, undor tho second mate’s dj rcction, contained in its bow an nctivo^young man who bad obtained tho esteem ot all his shipmates, and whom wo shall .introduce to our readers under tho name of Jonah Coffin.— Poising his harpoon, ho firmly awaited tho or ders of his suporior, then seated in tho boat’s stern. Before him, forcing itself furiously on ward, was a huge mass, alternately omitting, from its glosjy protuberances tho sparkling ef fulgence of a meridian suit or partially descend ing below tho temporary surge, forming little, vortices in its wake, and puffing from its nos trils tho encroaching brine. Long and patient ly did tho oarsmen tug at their stations—“pull away,” said the officer encouragingly—whilo ho drew towards him thehandlo ot his steering oar, .pjjQ"y*ry cyn of tlio nxonstev was now iu sight —**noW dart,” exclaimed tho matef and Jonah, with tho effort of a Polyphemus, drove the fa tal weapon fust ihto tho body of his gigantic on* tagmns^ ^ aw f u j raom0 nt; and tho adventu rous fishers had made every customary prepa ration for its approach,. But tlio.OJ.iect ot their toil, instead of dropping instantaneously iiito tlio depths beneath thence again to emerge, after some moments, for the sake of breath—or in stead of starting off horizontally, as K frequent ly the caso, with tlio velocity of lightning, drag ging his presumptuous pursuers through thcylis- parting wave, which throws swiftly upon either sido of their frail piuiiauce a transparent aheot of spray surmounted by gorgeous rainbows, rolled backward, and with preternatural frenzy, made for tho boat—his enormous jaws distend- oil to their utmost limits; and Iris tremendous tail now curving upward, and vibrating like a ligh'houso in an earthquake,- and anon falljng with horrid ihp upon the level bosom ol tho soundintr deep. The u>tomsIicd. sailors wore instinctively about to rush over board, when, with a convulsive bound—it was tlio leap ot a mountain—tho lacerated monster sprang entire ly over the boat, his unearthly dimensions strik ing principally upon the opposito side, and partly upon tho lr.igilo tlung ltsell, spilling it- contents, and grinding lb frame tosplintors. Tho mon wero .-.11 good swimmers, and save ono, betook fhcmi lve. without farther calcula tion, and with exemplary precipitancy, to tho profitable exercise of *thbir arms and leg*-^- whorehy Ihoy soon reached tlio boats of their comrades, aud wero out of danger. Not so with poor Jonah. In tho tumult of tho mo ment, lie had become entangled in tho tortuous coil attached to his harpoon. Not an instant had boon allowed to him, whoroiii ho might have seized tho hatchet, or unshoathod his jack- knife* and freed himself from so ungracious u predicament. Ho felt himself drawn by an ir- rcsratable power, down, down, nmidst intermin able caverns, and bottomless profundities.— What greatly surprised him, was his ability still to brouth, 1111(1 to see. Passing with tho rapidi ty of thought, along immeasurable distances, ho had opportunities to scuu hut fow of those vast gulphs.—Hero lay an extonsive forest of coral, inhabited by shapes indescribable—there mov ed an intmenso mass of gelatinous matter, cn- compassod by myriads of submarine prodigies, to piscivorous man hitherto unknown. Tho seadovii, with his oinorald horns: tho tartarcan crab, with a million of claws, each a furlong in ,n ugth; tho ponderous synimesian oyster, whoso icll opens wide enough to admit a seventy- re, sot in countluss diamonds, may bo soon nt ..jo depth of fivo hundred fathoms; sea-gorgons, hydras, griffins phoenixes, and all manner of beautiful reptiles, wero quietly feeding, or frolicking without noise, in those unsearchable regions. And horc, some philosophers may he dispos ed to obtrude a doubt touching honest Jonah’s capacity of vision and of respiration tho whilo. Bui lot it be inquired,, whether so huge a body, darting through tho soa with such outrageous celerity, may riot havo loft behind a sort of va cuity, nffording a medium, whoroin tho littlo animal in his rear mightoxcrciso tlioso faculties? And regarding tho accelerated progress of this * •nonstcr, it may bo aptly accounted for purely on lilosophicnl principles; every body knows iw. fast a dog will run with a tin kottlc— * *• But to our tale—Lot us hasten to tho catas trophe. After boing carried to. such lengths, and in such a manner our almost exhausted he ro found himsolf oil tho ascent. His wild aud turbulent conductor was again mounting to the uppor world. Embracing a moment of respite, whilo tho whalo was in tho act of turning upon its side, ho sought his knifo, bat in vain; tr new , motion disturbed him, lto was waved to and fro. with an impetuous regularity; his lungs labored, and his sight grew indistinct; his breath wont and canto, and went to return not without inhal ing also a draught of the saline fluid. Alas! thought ho I am drownod! Foggy images floatod on his brain, and gradually faded into utter suffocation. IIo awoko upon tho quarter dock of his own ship, under tho operation of dying strtigglo, and picked up near the place of his descent, by his anxious comrades, to whom he was shortly onablcd to lend a hand in cutting in and trying out his ninety-barrelled tormentor. —Nantucket Inquirer.

Diligence aud attention to sustain unimpaired tlio honor and credit'of tho chair, shall bo bestowed. It has been usual,.on oc casions of this kind, for a speaker to promiso impartiality in'lho discharge of tho duties of his station; but ifimpartiulity means a disregard of all thoso.distiuctions which divide our fellow ci tizen* on |"di!ii\d questions, let not tlio house oxpoct'impartiality from me. I atn elected a member of this assembly by a political party, and I urn placed in tiiis chair by tho vote of a political party, and wliou questions shall*arise of a political character, a majority of tho com mittees .to whom the consideration of the same shall be committed, will be composed of mem ber* whoso political opinions correspond with mtuo.

But if by impartiality is meant a strict ndhorcriccto tlio rules of tlio house, and to parliamentary usage iu tho conduct of tho business of the house, I can with safoty promiso it.’. By those, rules I will ho governed, and:my political friends must not on this subject expect leniency or in dulgence from mo Iiccauso they arc my politi cal friends. In conclusion, I hope wo. may a.. prosperous and happy season.—Somp littfj vranglings may occasionally take place, h.ut A hope such contentions may not .ho pm milted to effervesce to tlm interruption of the busi ness of tho I10U30, which is of unusual, impor tance, as amongst other subjects which will claim tho attention of tho legislature is thr re vision of our law*.
