A large black bull whale was captured on Saturday last in Blucskin Bay, and successfully towed into Waikouaiti Bay on Sunday. The "monster of the deep" is estimated to yield six tv is of oil, which ia worth something like £.'io a tun. The fortunate owners of the prize—T. Pratt and party—expect to net the handsome sum of £200. Large numbers of the townspeople visited the whale during the day on Monday, which, at low water, could bo seen to advantage. The Maoris mustered in strong force, evidently waiting until the whale was cut up, when their jubilee feast would commence, all the accessories for cooking having been brought on to the beach. We must confess that no one envied them the feast they awaited with evident longing.—Waikouaiti Herald.

The passage of the .Str.'iit by sailing vessels lias seldom been found practicable, but with propellers furnished with intelligent pilots, the diflicultiea of the case could bo readily overcome.— Exchange Paper.
