Yha announcements for the present year prove that; to far from ',as Wring degenerated, it bears " its bludllng honours thick" s ty.' it, and bids fair to exceed all former years, nut only in the rov ing value of the stakes to be run for, but in the earnestness , f gh winch its principal supporters uphold it. It derives additional *gm from the Countenance and suptfort of his Meaner, wbo, In tof Lis autueiois annual prizes, gives the stamp of Roy. sky to u,hy breeding and running his own horses. roll -Pen Meeting; Which may be considered the first of the boasts this year of an unprecedented number of stakes, &c. ado , . of 25,e001. and; if we may judge from present appear at t h e a ttendance of fashionable' an d s p ortin g Gentlemen will be soricakd. Up to the time of doting our parcel, the arrivals have been nu pertre3, but the majority of the visitors will cot be here till the M e allig, or to morrow moraine. The saddle horses and servants Ma ge e Noblemen mid Gentlemen who reside within a reasonable distance of the place are here ; and nearly all the lodgings are tikes already. Nearly alt those horses which have appeared in the betting lists of the Derby and Oaks, are entered in the St.kts to be decided this week ; but whether they will all appear, is i n deed wry problematical. The greatest anxiety estate on this subject ; for all those who bottom their engagements Go the soya pr i nc iple of public running, are desirous that the fa vourites should start, and prove themselves. Carriages and four me rattling in every minute, and the town is all bustle. We have already noticed the following distinguished personages:—Duke of Portland and Duke of Grafton, Christopher Wilson, Esq.

Judging from their appearance, we should say that they are all in excellent condition for the Post.— There are DOW between 3 and 40U horses in training here, of much better qualities and in better health than those of List year at this redid. The turf is in admit able order, and the weather favourable. 13nrotc.—From the uncertainty which has prevailed as to which el Lord Jereej's will start to-morrow, or whether neither or both, the betting on the ltiddleoworth has been rather duU till the last day or two.

Perkins, has captured and taken into North Yarmouth, the Eliza Johanna, of Flushing, with 200 tubs of foreign spirits. Wednesday arrived the ship Caroline, Captain Eidson. from Calcutta, bound to London, having on board the remainder of the Invalids (the first division arrived here in November last, by the. &noble and Cgtharioe Stewart Forbes), of the 67th, Suth, and 141 k Regiments. She left the Cape on the 2d, and Ascension on tbe ' 20th February, on which day the William Harris transport arrived there from England, with stores and provisions for the Island. The Revenue cutters Tartar, Lieutenant Watben, and Ifingfis. Lieutenant St. Quintin, have commenced their cruising on the Dorset coast with good fortune, the former having captured the I Providence sloop, of Cherbourgh. with 14 tubs (the remains of het overthrown cargo), and seven men (five of them Frenchmen), and the latter the Mary Ann, of Cherbourgh, with 125 tubs, 18 flagons of spirits, and three men (one a Frenchman), and taken them alto Weymouth. The Procrls, 10, Capt. Hon. Wm. Waldegrave, arrived this afternoon, with seamen from Chatham. We are happy to find that letters from Rio do Janeiro, dated February 7, state the arrival of the Forte, 46, Captain J. Coghlsn, C.B. in 41 days from Spithead, with his Excellency Chev. Von Neuman, and the Austrian Embassy to the Court of Brazils. The Ranger and Heron were lying there. The Cambridge, Blanche, and Eclair were shortly expected from the Pacific, oil their return to England. The folltiwing is an extract of a letter from an Officer of his Majesty's sloop Pelican, dated March 8 On the td of this month, while cruising after a noted pirate of the name of Chepriotti, we fell in with a vessel, armed, and full of men, off the island of Ithaca, and at nine in the morning, being calm, we sent away two boats, manned and armed, and kept them in sight for som.. time, when a breeze springing up, we made all sail after the vessel, and about twelve at noon, got her within range of bur great guns, when Lieutenant Grant manned and armed the large cutler, and , went in chase, the water getting too shoal for-the strip to ap proach nearer the shore, when the vessel commenced a heavy fire of round and grape on our three boats ; we, in return, corre. l nsenced firing on board the ship to cover the boats. There was now a running fight with the vessel and our boats fur two hours, seek geing at the rate of four miles an hour. We in the ship covered our boats with round shot from our great guns: at about three rah the boats got hold of the stern boat of the enemy ; the breeze then sprung up, and the vessel get more head way, when we found our boats drop, and the enemy run on shore. The boats returned with the First Lieutenant wounded in the hand dangerously; Second Lieutenant bounded in the shoulder, and his collar bone broke through; the shots in both cases remain, as they cannot be got at. The carpenter, Mr. Case,was shot through the fleshy part of his right at m ; two marines and two seamen killed; two dangerously wounded. and not expected to live, and others slightly. We then found that the vessel had barricaded herself so with planks, tee. that we could do nothing further with the boats. We came to an anchor, and fired at her for a mark, and after amusing them in that way for about ten minutes, they made signs for us to send our boat. We did so, well armed and manned on all points. Our boats boarded her, and found her to be a Turkish man of war, of four gins and 50 men. We had killed the Captain and Az en before we bad got alongside. After healing the dead overboard, we took the I Turks on board our boats, and set fire to the vessel, as she was shot to pieces, and unable to float. We then made for the harbour —• tbe Turks, sixteen in number, are now on board the Pelican, and we expect to take them to Smyrna, to be given up to the Turkish Government." We may probably have to announce the arrival of his Majesty's ship Tweed. Capt. Frederick Hunn, from the Gulph of llelezico, in our next paper. She had to call at Tampico, to embark 40,000 i. to specie for the Mexican Government ; but as Tampico is a bar harbour, and a stroug north.westerly gale set in before she could have reached that place,we are quite satisfied that Capt. Hunn would not attempt to enter it, until a return of favourable weather. This circumstance most satisfactorily accounts (to those who have any knowledge in these local subjects), for the Tweed not having reached England with her valuable shipments. The precautionary means taken by Sir Lawrence Halstead to warn Captain Hunn of a pos. sible danger, arising front our affairs with Spain, though highly pru dent in that excellent Chief, yet, as it must be well known, cannot attach itself whatever to the delay ascribed to that ship's arrival. THE NORTH POLE EXPEDITION. Captain PARRY has at length sailed upon his pro jected expedition. He will touch at Flammerfest, in Norway, to receive on board a number of rein deer, which have been substituted for dogs, and are to be employed in dragging sledge boats over the ice—in carrying provisions—and in furnishing food for the party, who proceed from Spitzbergen towards the Pole. We believe that all Europe feels interested in this bold and novel attempt to reach " the green world's end ;" and it will reflect additional lustre upon the Navy of England, should our intrepid navigator succeed in planting the banners of l3ritain upon the axis of the universe. The following is a Copy of an official letter addressed by Captain PARRY, to the First Lord of the Admiralty, wherein Captain PARRY'S plans are detailed : TO THE RIGHT HON. VISCOUNT MELVILLE, &c. (Corr) " Admiralty, 15th April, 1826. "MY LORD,—Among the cute, pitses which yet re main unaccomplished, and of which the object is to complete our knowledge of the surface of the globe, it appears to me that there is none more desirable to be undertaken, and (considering the nature of such enter prises) few so easily practicable, as an attempt to reach the North Pole ef the earth. Having long been in the habit of contemplating such an enterprise, and being confirmed in my own opinion of its practicability by a written plan of Captain Franklin, now in my posses. sioo, I beg leave to lay before yoUr Lordship my views era this interesting subject. " There can be no doubt of the practicability of reaching, in any pear (as is the annual custom of the whalers) that part of Spitzbergen, called " Cloven Cliff," lying in latitude 79 52. about the middle or towards the close of May ; so that the party might set off to the northward on the Ist of June. The distance of Cloven Cliff from the Pole is 600 miles. 4 , The method which I consider a practicable or.e of accomplishing the propcsed object is by means of boats! having " runners" attached to them in the manner of ' sledges, so as to admit of their being hauled over the ice when no open water p , e*enteri itself, and again launched at pleasure. The frame of these boats, wh ch I propose should be two in tiumber, should ei.nsist of larch QC bickery, so as to be at citice 11,;iit, tough, and rather flexible. The principal fastenings to he of copper, of the least brittle kind, and the rest to be lashings 01 thong, so as to render the whole as yielding and elastic as s,iWe,ceasistrutly with safficient'swawb auJ stiff- nesg. This framesbeirig Covered with leather. or soma such material (to be determined on by experiment) a boat would thus be formed, resembling the Russian baidnr, in which lone coasting voyages are performed, or the sutf boats at Madras, and in every respect suited to the intended purpose. " The number of individuals I should propose to be employed On this service is twenty-four—namely, two Officers and ten men to constitute each boat's crew. Annexed to this letter is a list of the articles required on such an expedition; also an estimate of the weight of each, together with a further explanation of some of the details, to which I beg to refer your Lordship. " In this estimate provision has been made for 72 days. at a full and ample allowance of every artiee, which is known by experience to be required on such an occasion, during a polar summer. This interval of time would make it necessary to traverse 16i miles per day in order to effect the proposed object, which (unless favoured by considerable extents of open water) is per hips too much to expect to accomplish. But having on repeated trials found that seven days such allowance may, without any privation whatever, be extended to nine days. I feel confident that the supply mentioned in the estimate, aided by birds, seals, &c. would be found quite sufficient for ninety-ftva days, reducing the daily distance to IS miles. ... " An oilskin cover completely over the boats, answer ing also the purpose of a sail when required, would make the people comfortable during the times of rest, each man being provided with his blanket bag, and a suit of extra clothing as a dry shift. Prom my knowledge of the qualities of the Esqui maul dogs, 1 am inclined to think that the object might be materially assisted by employing from 12 to 20 of these useful animals for draught ; • a portion of food might be taken for them, and more would probably be procured as the party advanced; but even in case of the failure of their provisions, the flesh of the dogs themselves would furnish no inconsiderable addition to that of the men. " In case either of meeting with an island, or of finding ice which appears to be perpetually fixed or firmly grounded, an obvious part of the plan would be to leave there a considerable portion of the baggage on the outward passage, to be taken up on the return, so as to be enabled to push on more rapidly. It is more than-probable that the party would find some such mode of disencumbering themselves of a part of their baggage; besides the certain daily diminution of weight (amount ing to sixty poieNds), occasioned by the expenditure of provisions, fuel, &c. " To eoable the party to take advantage of the season, it would be necessary for a ship to leave England with them about the beginning of April, so as to reach Smeerenburgh, towards the first week in May. By the middle of that month, the whalers usually advance as far as Cloven Cliff. As it would be proper for the ship to be somewhat strengthened for re sisting the ice, I beg to suggest that the Hecla would, ' in every respect, be well adapted to this service, from twenty to thirty men, including Officers, being added to the twenty-four forming the party intended to go to the Pole. " Immediately on arriving at a proper nation, the ship might be permanently and securely moored in any small and sheltered cove, of which there is no want in that neighbourhood. The expedition would then set off, about the Ist of June, directly to the northward, being accompanied for the first hundred miles by about 12 extra men, for the purpose of assisting in the transport of the baggage, so as to make a rapid progress for the first few days. "MI6 extra party would then return to the ship, di. rections being given to the Commanding Officer imme diately to employ them in transporting to the northern most of the Seven Islands marked in the chart a small quantity of provisions, Ike. as a supply for the expedi tton on its return, that station being fifty miles nearer the Pale than Cloven Cliff, and consequently the best to steer for in coming back. " It may here be suggested that, as regards the stay of the ship at the northern part of Spitzbergen during the three best months of the summer, the plan now pro posed might be made sub s ervient to the interests of science, by sending out some duly qualified person to employ himself during that interval, in conducting a series of experiments on the pendulum, in making a variety of interesting magnetic observations,in attending to the various meteorological phenomena, and in col lecting specimens of natural history. At the same time the party proposed above to be sent to the Seven Islands might afterwards be engaged in exploring and survey ing the eastern coast of Spitzbergen, of which we ate at pre,ent wholly ignorant, and which it would be a matter of no ordinary interest is examine. I mention these collateral objects to show that during the absence of the party sent towards the Pole, the rest of the expe dition might be constantly and beneficially employed. " The practicability of thus reaching the North Pole ap pears to me to turn wholly on the question of resources. This being the case, it would very soon become a matter of simple calculation whether or not the object was within the reach of the resources with which the party was furnished ; so that they might at any time proceed or return, according to circumstances. In other respects I can perceive nothing whatever, that should make it an enterprize of extraordinary risk. The summer tem perature of the Polar regions is by no means uncom fortable; the sun would be constantly above the hori• non, and our men have always enjoyed remarkably robust health during excursions of this nature. If open water should frequently occur, it is always sure to be smooth, and even if it were otherwise, a boat hauled up on a flow of ice, is as secure as on shore. In fact, the more open water is found, the more easy would be the accomplishment of the enterprize; and taking the chance of such occasional assiatance. I cannot but entertain a confident hope that the whole might be completed by the end of August ; and the Expedition again in England before the middle of September. " With respect to the nature of the ice on which, in case of little open water, the boats would require to be hauled, the testimony of every individual who has visited these parts is highly satisfactory, affording a con &dent hope that the travelling over it would be easy and expeditious. Phipps,Buchan,Franklin, and Score.by,. all describe it as remarkably flat, and, within the sea margin, consisting for the moat part of large, level, closely-jorned 8. es. Scoresby indeed expresly remarks, that a coach and four might drive along it for miles with out interruptirn. Much of the ice which I have myself met wriluiras been of that descr iption,and the probability is, that in higher latitudes, where it may have been less &situ bed, this will be found the case in a still • Captain Parry has since been compelled so far to alter this part of his plan, as to etrpWy Lapi. rd rein deer instead of Eiquirnaux dogs. greater degree. On this aLtbunt it might perhaps bE desirable to have the Means 'of putting the boots bri wheels, thus furnishing st third .Mork of conveyance; which in gist occasionally tit tett,: ted td, if found towo venient on dial. " Such, my Lcird, is a brief Outline of the plait by which I consider it practicable to reach the North Pole; and on which a variety of improvernents would suggest themselves, in the course of an equipment having that object in view. The enterprise itself is of so interesting a nature, and is connected with so many subjects of various scientific enquiry, that its accomplishment could n t fail to be highly creditable to the country which undertakes it; while the expense would be very trifling, the risk by no means extraordinsry, and the whole question solved in the short space of :a months. " I have thus early submitted my plan to your Lord.; ship,•because, in case of its adoption, I consider it essen tial to success that various trials should be made, in the course of the present autumn, as to the best materials' and construction for the boats, and other articles of equipment. It would also be of import-ince to procure this Summer from Greenland, by way of Copenhagea, the necessary number of dogs, as Well as of their ace.; lent waterproof boots for travelling. It would; more- over, be desirable that the Officers and men should be selected, and trained to their respective duties, in the course of the ensuing Autumn, so as to be ready for pro ceeding to Spitsbergen early in the next Sprint . " I need scarcely add that, should your Lordship think favourably of the plan now submitted I shall feel honoured in being entrusted with its execution ; confi. dently entertaining the proud, and I trust not unrea sonable hope of planting under your Lordship's .taspkei, the British flag upon the north Pole of the Earth.
