The Hobart Mercury of May 16 says visit made to Kerguelen by the ship Haakon is productive of some interesting information regarding the progress of this seloomvisited island'. The Haakon went to Kerguelcn from Natal with a cargo of coal. Captain Arnold-sen found the whaling industry flourishing- on the inland, a station having been established there two years, a°o. A fine oil factory has also been, erected, and between 80 and 100 men find employment. Two steamers ana' several tugs are engaged hunting whales and seals, which o-ive a profitable return for the work. Two days before Jbe Haakon left Kerguelen the steamer Waketieid, which is searching for the Waratah, w&s observed in on® of the inlets, but comvaurneation could not be established with her. During the stay of the Haakon at Kergue2ftn fierce westerly winds swept down from ihe glacier, and it required 180 fathoms of cable and'two anchors to secure a good hold for the shiip.
