Whale-fish [XG by PTK.ot.—The general rep rts of the past season's whaWi-fishing ree< rd-sl in the Scotch newspapers testify remaviitil.lv to the great a ivantage reaped by those who hare'adopted the use of screw-propelled vessels in the pivv-eciuion of this once extensive!}' valuublo branch of our northern fishings. It appears that from the port of DumJe • six of the seven steamers which visited thu icy legions in pursuit of whales and seals returned '«It'n very remunerative cargoes, bringing home 0-15 ton? of oil, or about 107 i tons each, the seventh y-s.d having been lost on the voyage; whereas 12 onto;' I'i Baiiirg rose's sent to the /isliinjr from lYtcrhead returned with the aggregate of 333 tons of oil, or en average of a little over 32 tons eft'-h ve«ji>'—,i result which entails serious loss 00 the ship-own* ts and otaera engnged in the nnclerlul.'ing. osliinmed at a sum amounting to upwards of £7,000 ; and this amount would have been still greater bttl for the present high value of seal-oil, of which the cargoes brouuht in by these vessels ehietly consisted. Four of the 16 ships having remained behind, to pass the winter in these dreary climes, return no account.-, and of course must incur the expense of a sixteen o eighteen months' absence ere those con erned can reap any benefit or asccrtaia the result of the adventnre — an event looked forward to with deep interest by tlioso engaged in this line of business, as it is

It is difficult to tell to what purposes electricity wi'l not be applied. It has been made to do great tilings hitherto, and seems destined to do still more. Eire at sea is, perhaps, one oi the worst of calamities, and as it is generally the result of spontaneous combustion, auv means of keeping the captain and olliccrs informed of any heating ot' the cargo cannot fail to attract the attention of shipowners and underwriters. An invention for this purpose was exhibited at the Brunswick Hotel, Hlackwall. on Thursday, and it is almost ditlicult to say whether the application of electricity in this iu.-ta'nce is most meritorious oil account of its simplicity or its utility. An apparatus eall.'d a calorimeter is placed in various parts of tlio ship, in connection with the wires of a galvanic battery ; the calorimeter is charged with men-ury, and if expo cd to heat the mercury ot' course rises, and by tlii> means the el- ctric current is made complete, the result of which is to sound an alarm bell and to indicate on a table a number or showing the precise locality of the fire in the ship, or, indeed, of the house, as the.invention is as applicable to one as the oilier. Not only, however, is ii proposed to protect -llips from fire, but also from the consequence of spriogimr a leak, and by a contrivance, the simplest, conceivable, a ri-o of two or three inches in the bilge is ii.dieated as i- tire in tho hold. The inventor describes very fairly the utility of the invention in the following terms: —

" It does not wait until the breaking out of the lire before it i;ius the alarm, but gives it in sulbeieni tim-'to inert the danger, ami actually pints out the immediate locality in the vessel where the lire may be orisi atinj. Had it been placed in her -Majesty s ship I'.omhav, in all probability that vessel would not hive been destroyed, for the lire, whatever may have been the cause or its origin, must have been snioulderiiig f*r s ilie time, and warning would have been t;iven i- ii if before it hur-1 out.
