      San Francisco, Oct. 31. – The whale ship Active, from the Arctic Ocean, has arrived here with 800 barrels of oil and 500 pounds of bone. She had bad weather and sustained considerable damage and was compelled to throw overboard 400 barrels of oil. She reports the total loss of ship Hahaaiwy, and that whale ship Corinthian went ashore on Blossom Shoals Aug. 30th, and it was thought would prove a total loss. The captain and crew arrived by the Active. The Corinthian had on board at the time of the disaster 111 barrels of oil and 20,000 pounds of bone. At last accounts the Corinthian had been taken in tow by ship George Howland, with the intention of taking her to St. Lawtence Bay and saving a portion of her cargo. The captain of the Active reports his belief that Seguain is incorrectly placed on the Pacific chart.
