TO THE EDITOR OF THE STATESMAN. Stn.—The projert of the Bank lending money on mart cares of land, i 4 novel in its nature, and incalculable as to its results. The experiment, it is said, is only to extend to 'he amount of two millions ; but where will it extend to, if the project takes ? and take it will with the majority of the debased and time - nerving land-holders of England.—The schema, when carried into effect, will make the Bank a Land Bank, soil should it gather strength as it goes on, one half the land, if not all, may become the property of this' already over-gorged and insatiable corporation. It cannot be done without an Act of Parliament, but an Act to that purpose will be passed. This precious scheme is said to tic tlieUff•pring of Canning's :mac brain ; but let " carotid artery-tuttiag Castlereagh" have the credit that is due to him : for this precious defunct hole-digging States man broached the idea that Government was to lend money to the agricultural classes at less than the interest which that very Government was paying for money, which money was to be lent again by the Government to their upholders It is trus tile thing was exploded then, but C ann ing i s said to have prevailed upon the Bank Directors to under take this generous office What schemes we shall see next, God. knows •, bat the plungrs at all, and drives at the last stake, land. " Parra meta prima, mox aese attollit in auras." What sort of Mortgage the banking men of Threadneedle street may ni:skr, time will show, doubtless as merciful as the Israelite, not.rnore so, if we 'nay judge by the " rens path of duty men," who sat in jndgessent, noting doses who should hang and Rho should not hang ! when their machinations bad, during nearly twenty-five years, reduced the currency of the Empire to their execrable rags, so slow in art, so easily imitable, as to be a premium to temptation and a bait to crime. To how many individuals these oily-wigred gentlemen, the Governors and Directors dr the Bank of England, per. tioned out at will, hanging or transportation, it is scarcely possible to ascertain—let us suppote a thousand altogether 10 twenty-five years. Then how will the widows and orphans of tgages fare under these baud Bank Men? for if the Land hank Men are mortgagees- of course they may foreclose the mortgages by wholesales Will they he wore merciful by wholesale, than they weie,while they exercised the orbitraureut of life and death over tha forgers?

On Thursday last. according to announcement, prep rations were sands by Mr. ()rattan+, for ascending with ano ther ge ntleman. from Sydney Gardens, Rath. About balf-past 4 o'clock, however, it was found that the balloon would not take up both aeronauts, consequently Mr. (lea ks= was lett in the car by himself. The machine with great difficulty rose, and the aeronaut, although he dis- 1 charged quantity of Indult, could not steer clear of the surrounding tree a. The car became entangled among' the branches. Mv. 0. having thrown out his grappling iron, was again tended oa germ firma. A few noidutes afterwards, it was announced that Mr. °ratans was et weedingly sorry for the disappointment which bad thus • occurred ; but that checks would be furnished for the free admission iiest say, of the ladies and gentlemen present, who were calculated I. amount to more than three thou sand, mid that • sufficient supply of -gas 'meld be insured, and the ascent mould positively take place at ane o'clock. On Friday, Mr. Graham's attempt, as appears by the following acconat we have received from Bath, was crowned with success: Bath, Saturday, Oct. 18th. Mr. Graham, accompanied by Mr. Wetb. of Itegeat Street, London, commenced his ascent yesterdiy. at five minute* after one o'clock, from Sydney's Gardens, Bath. The balloon lose from her moorings with greet majesty, amidst the congratulations and cbeerings of the serroend ing spectators. The weather: which in the early part of the day had been cloudy, with occasional showers. had completely clrared up. The son shone brightly ; and, bona the stillness of Ithe air, every appearance was pro pitious*. • The balloon commenced its progress in an easterly direction. and continued gradually retreating from the gardens for about tee minutes; when. having met with a different current of air, it began to descend, and in se doing, retraced partly the course it bad previously made. In about five minutes more, it reached the earth, near Hatheaston, where the aeronauts disembarked. The great. .eat altitude attained ass sinner/het more than a mile. MR. GREEN'S BALLOON. At s Meeting of the Subscribers to the fund to remuner ate Mr. Green, the aeronaut, for the loss sustained by the escape of his balloon. held at the Court House, in this fl•Ce, last Monday evening, it was resolved unanimously, that notwithstanding the balloon had been found, and is likely to be revered, the money subscribed should be paid to Mr. Green, in consideration of the time he has lost, the iiiiury the vehicle has suffered, and the expense of recover• ieg it.=(Lecelr Mercury.)

NORTH WEST EXPEDITION. The following particulars tad to have been commu nicated at the Admiralty:— Captain Parry arrived on Saturday st the Admiralty,having landed at Whitby, whence the ships Fury and Hecht were continuing their way to the Thames. The public regret Stet Captain Parry has not been able to accomplish the North I West Passage, will be compensated by the pleasure at the safe return of this gallant °Meer. In 1821. the expedition explored Repulse Ray, Sir Thomas Roe's Welcome, Middle- ton's Frozen Strait, and that nelehbourbood, and finding no passage to the Northward end Westward, wintered in the i santhern bay of an island, called Winter Island, in let. 88. low. N. In 1822, the expedition, guided by the information received during the winter, from a party of Esquireaux, pursued their attempt Northward, and examined all inlets towards the West, till they arrived at a strait which separates the Northern Coast of America from what Capt. Parry considers to be clusters of islands, extending Northward towards the scene of his former voyage. The great object of ascertaining the oorthern limit of the Continent being thus accomplished, Captain Parry penetrated two degrees to the Westward, with considerable expectation of final success; but in a narrow part of the strait, they found the ice fixed in a manner which indica'ea that it is not separated in any season, or under any cit.- borostances. The expedition was wintered in latitude 69. 20. longitude SI. 50. In the past summer, finding the ice fixed in such manner is precluded all hope of further progress in the neighbour. hood, Cap!ain Parry gave up the attempt. The Expedi tion hat lost by illness, Mr. Fyne, and three seamen, and had out matt killed by accident. FURTHER ACCOUNTS. About elevenacelock on Thersday. the Hods and Fury. in company, made their appearance off Whitby. In half as hour after, Captain Parry, and the Rev. Ueo. Fisher, the astronomer and chaplain to the expedition , landed, and set off in a post chaise and four for London, where they ar. rived at nine o'clock on Saturday morning. Both Gentle men, we are happy to say, appear in good health; and they report of the crew" of the two vessels, that, considering the hardships they have undergone, and a residence of tact win• tern in the severnt climate in the world, their state of health is also remarkably. good. The coarse pursued by Captain Parry, on the present oerasion, as our Readers are probably aware, was to coast northward s Hudson's Bay into the (heat Icy Sea, while Captain Franklin was to en deavour to reach the same sea overland, taking the Copper seism River, whic:a falls into it, as his guide. lb* point to which Captain Parry penetrated, on this mea sles, was not, we understand , needy so far to the north as the ' r ot where be formerly wlatered. wor meek farther indeed than ‘aptain Franklin was able to rani* by land. The ships, after leaving Hudson's Bay, were carried along by an immense car rent of drift ice for about two hundred and fifty miles. in im minent danger every moment of being crashed to pieces, and thee stash fest amid the solid waste. here they unfortunately remained immovably looked up, and almost despairing of again revisiting Old Engiaad, till exactly a month ago, when the lee broke up, and they were enabled to effect their escape. lie sooner, however. did the ships again plough the deep. than mw dangers awaited them. A violent storm came on, is able the vessels, much injured by being so long locked up la as kw, had nearly perished ; and during their whole passage Woo they have eaeosatered tempestuous weather. While locked up in the ice the ships were visited by some parties of Esquimanx, who remained with them a long time, residing to snow houses, they constructed for themselves in the vicinity. On one occasion these people brought to the ship two barrel saves, which they gave Captain Parry to understand that they had procured from two vessels which were on their beam soda at about 150 miles distant. Capt. Parry (as we understand our informant) sent oat a party in search of those wrecks, who reported that the yeas' Is were English whalers. of the crews of which they could find no trace. Although the espedition has proved abortive, as far as regards its main object, yet, from the intelligence of the Commander and the Olficers. and other Gentlemen employed under him. we have so doubt that science will be considerably berated by the many inter-1 eating observations which they mast have made during their long stay in the Polar regrow. Time Heels and Fury sailed from Deptford on the 28th of April. 1821. Extract of a letter from Lerwick. dated Oct. 11.1923: —" I should not have written to you by this post, but fur the arrival of Captain Parry, who, with his two ships, ar rived here in safety yesterday. The crew are. and have been well during their absence, and out of both crews only five men have died, amongst whom are the Master and Mate of Captajn Lyon's ship. One of the seamen fell from the nitzen-topmast head and died instantly; the other two men died in their beds. I was thiough both ships today, and ate some beef cooked in London three years ago, and it was as good as if it Ind been dressed yesterday. I also ate some carrots dressed about the same time, equally good. I saw a large collection of fossils, stones, petrifaction', botanical specimens, &e. hot, as 1 could nut learn particulars as to their discoveries, &c., must refer you to the public journals. The ships were frozen up eleven months of last year. Lerwick was illu minated last night, and all were glad on the occasion. Another letter, dated Lerwick, in Shetland, October 11th, says, 'The Fury and Hecht arrived here yesterday, all well. I hear they proceeded op Honduras Straits, but were not able to penetrate farther than 0 deg north let. and 87 deg. west long. They Were only disengaged from the ice 17th ult.' A letter from Hull, dated Oct. 18, received at Lloyds this morning. speaking of the Northern Expedition, states that the vessels during the winter were constantly visited by the natives, who are described as very harm less and good tempered. save mad except that they are in the habit of thrashing their wivesvery severely. mssesee Hannisto FISPIERT.—A tew days axe, one of the Hhst inns fishing boats, brought on shore 2000 line herring. YASMOUTM, OCT. 16.—Oar herring fishery has com menced with a better prospect of sale than a catch, as the quantity at present caught does sot exceed 200 last, or about 3000 barrels, which have been sold fresh, or slightly cured, from 4s, to 7s. per hundred. The demand for bows herrings, says our correspondent, bus been unpre cedented, which can only be accounted for from their prow ing such a delicious relish at the breakfast table, an excel lent sabstitute for anchovies with wine, or an admirable stomachic and promoter of digestion. A getleman at Hammock caught a mackerel a few days ago, in the Bay, between Sarnhadrwyg and Paillheil, which had a eixpesoe of the late coin in its belly.—. The sixpeace bad a hole is it. which led to a conjecture that it had been toed ass bait.—.(Shreasbalry Citron.) POLICE OFFICE, CARLISLE. Under this bead the Carlisle Journal states, that on Monday last air. Vincent Clearge Dowling, a reporter for the proprietors of the Morning Chronicle, was brought up is custody of Ruthven, the liuw•street officer, under a warrant granted by Rowland Fawcett, Esq. on a charge of having stolen from the Coffee-house Coach Office, in Carlisle on the 1311. September last, a parcel directed to "The Editor of the Times, London," containing a report of the speeches, &c. at the dinner given in Ulasgow, on the I Ith September, to Messrs. Brougham and Denman. Mr. Dowling was attended by Mr. Saul, as his legal adviser, and Mr. Henson of London attended on behalf of the proprietors of the Tiises. he report of the proceedings in the paper above men tioned, being of considerable extent. (little less than two columns) for which we have not room, it must suffice for us to state that after the parties in support of the charge bad given their evidence, it appears, the Magistrates retired for a few minutes, and asked Mr. Dowling if he had any bail with him. Mr. Dowling replied he bad not, and then proceeded in his defence ; after the detail of which, the Journal thus proceeds : Mr. Henson then said that he had no wish to take any advantage of Mr. Dowling's situation; if Mr. Saol would bail his client, he should be satisfied, and ample time should be given for preparation for his defence. He would not urge a trial At the first sessions if Mr. D. wished for more time; he would even consent to defer it till the assizes,-if it was any object. At the request of Mr. Dowling and Mr. Saul, who then entered into recognizance to appear next day at the Ses sions, it was then agreed that the bill of indictment should not be preferred against Dowling till the next afternoon, at which time they promised to give a decided answer. whether the trial should be put off, or not. The witnesses were also bound over to appear. We understand that-the next day, at the Penrith Sessions, Mr. Dowling preferred a bill of indictment against his prosecutor for I, conspiracy, and the Brand Jury having also heard the evidence on the bill preferred against him by them for the theft, ignored both bills, DREADFUL EXPLOSION OF A COAL MINE. --r-- It is this week our painful duty to record one of those heart-wounding events, which. notwithstanding the lumi nous discoveries and improvements lately made in the sciences, and particularly in that which is more immediately connected with the art of mining, seems inseparable from those ill-fated mortals whose province it is to explore the bowels of the eurtb. On Monday night last, the town of Whitebaven was thrown into the utmost agitation, by an awful explosion of fire-damp from the William Pit, (a name of disastrous import) —a coal mine belonging to the Earl of Lansdale, when it was known that a considerable num ber of colliers were at the moment etnployed in the svork- Jag/. It was impossible to ascertain the extent of the calamity immediately, but the fatal certainty soon became apparent. No less than fourteen men, sixteen hojs, and two girls have come to a pre meter* death by this catastrophe. That the pit was overcharged with fire damp in some part of the workings is aoir too evident ; bat is is doing no more titan jostles to those who have the more immediate superintendence of these very extensive concerns to my, that no precaution was omitted by them to guard the colliers against any sadden accident. The workmen, it appears, were employed In removing some pillars. in a part of the pit where the ventilation was extremely good, and there there was not, eonsequently. any reason to apprehend danger from the existence of fire-damp ; and indeed the air was, in general, supposed to be good, except in some recesses into which the colliers had no occasion to enter. They were, besides, every one furnished with a safety lamp, and were under strict orders from the superintendents to keep their lamps properly secured. When the misfoetune happened they had all nearly finished their work for the day, and by what or whose neglect or mismanagement it was occasioned scarcely a conjecture can now be formed. It is generally supposed that one of the workmen ball been using some improper liberties with his lamp, and bad removed the cylinder when in a place where the fire-damp was present. There were also seventeen horses killed, hut some of thei r drivers escaped. In recording the above melancholy s. event, it may not be irrelative to mentions remarkable coincidence I of names and circumstances which occurred some years since in the Counts* of Durham. On the 25th May, 1812, la tremendous explosion took place in the William Pit, a coal mine at Felling Colliery. by which 92 persons out of 124 lost their lives, and 32 were saved; being the exact number of those who have perished in the William Pit at Whitehaven.—(Carlisle Journal.) We learn from Kaaresbro, that some approximation is mak Mg towards a reconciliation between the linen manufacturer and the weavers.—(Leeds M e rcnry.) (From the-Manchester Oaardian.)—On Saturday night last, between live and six o'clock, a strong sensation was excited in the town, by a report that the New Bailey Prison was on fire. It appears, that a lady who was passing by, observed more smoke rising from the roof of the Court, house than could be supposed to pass through the chimney, and she communicated the circumstance to the gate-keeper. On examination, it was found that that part of the roof which covers the Magistrates' room was on fire; though, from the depth of the under-drawing, the extent to which the flames had proceeded, was not at first ascertained. Soon after six o'clock the roof fell with a tremendous crash, into the Magistrates' room. from which several gentlemen, who had been employed in removing the books, had not retired more than a minute. Beneath the Magistrates' room are the lockups, in which persons are confined, who wait the decision of the Magistrates, and in which there were at the time a number of prisoners, who, of course, were dreadfully alarmed when they heard the roof fall upon the floor above them, and expected every moment that the burning wreck would penetrate to:he place where they were confined. They were immedia'ely removed to a place of safety. By great exertion of the firemen, and others, the dames were prevented from spreading further. Several of the prisoners rendered essential assistance during the fire ; five or six, in particular. who mounted the roof, exerted themselves greatly; and, though they might easily have effected their escape, had they been so disposed, Wong' was missing when they were mustered after the danger wos over. The great reduction is the price of whisky, which ha• taken place within these few days, has been a matter of con tinued rejoicing to dram drinkers and tiplers of every de scription; and intoxication 114 a prevailed to a degree that lays little is favour of the temperance and self denial of the lower classes. On Friday morning (10th inst.) the cinder women congregated at an early hour, and the moment the irit shops were opened, proceeded to try the quality of the twopenny, at which price a gill of whisky may now b. had—some is even sold so low as lid. Before noon, many of these worthies were seen prostrate in the water ruts.— (Ediabargh Observer ) 6A3:E QUESTION. FROM THE HAMPSHIRE TELEGRAPH.) On Saturday last the Petty Sessions were held at the Town Hall, Romsey, before lleorge Eyre, Esq. and Sic George Henry Rose, Justices. Among other game eases. &c. occurred one of more than ordinary public interest. It was as follows :—A gamekeeper of the name of Thresher, in the service of the Right lion. Viscount Palmerston, preferred a charge against a man named Gifford, for poaChing. It appeared from the evidence of the keeper himself, that, suspecting the defendant of having game about his person. he stopped him in a publc road, known by the nan.e of Mildson lam e, near Broadlands, and demanded to search his person, which Gifford resisted, threatening to draw his kni`e on the witness, if lie attempted it, but utfering, at the same time, to accompany him to the Magistrate's office. On their way they entered a public-house, when the poacher drew from under his jacket a pheasant and gave it to the keeper.— 'Ms was the material part of the case, and as far as the poacher was coseerned, sufficiently strong against him, hut it appearing, from the testimony of the prosecutor, that the accused h never been seen offlhe public road, and that he was on. il 'Men stepped, the presiding Magistrate, Mr. Es• at, with his wonted judgment and discrimination, took the oppor tunity of reprobating the irregular and illegal conductor the keeper, in presuming to arrest any person in a public way on bare suspicion of his being in possession of game.— After reading him a severe lecture, telling him that he ou: 7 ;lit to have distinguished between the case of a person found in a cover, or is the fields, and one walking the road, he threatened to dismiss the case altogether ; but the fact of the Defendant's having the bird in his possession. &c., determined the Bench, after some deliberation to convict him, hut no sentence was passed. The Defendant was severely reproved by Sir U. H. Russ, for his un-Eri glieh threat of using a knife. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
