By the Three Brothers, we learn that the whaling season still continues to progress successfully, aud promises to be one of the best that has occurred for many years. At Toms' station, in Queen Charlotte Sound, they have caught three whales and lost three humpbacks ; at Boioughty's, in Cloudy Bay, one whale \ -at Kapiti, one whale ; at Porirua, one whale. Mr. Toms informs us that on Tuesday last Fraser's party at Mana were " fast" to a large whale, when unfortunately the boat was struck by the fish in "sounding," and smashed to pieces : the crew remained in the water nearly half an hour, when they were rescued by one of the boats belonging to Toms' station at Porirua.
