At first they were much afrAil, ..,,d suede signs for the vessel to fly away, thinking •t,.1 were loge birds of prey that had ileecended 11.4.1 the moon to destroy them. A few of the „m i res, however. were aeon enticed on board, when 11,1 impaired their awe and wonder by hugging t h e mos% and other extravagant manifestations of ininloration. as if to superior beings: at other times on attentively surveying the ships, they laughed immoderately. They were entirely unlit. telinphle to the Esquimau* whom Captein Hors tnok out with him, although they seem to he of the sameengia their physiognomy being similar, but of rathii a defier complexion--in their general appear ance; liigusge, and manners. approaching nearer to th e amines of Kenaptechatka or the north-maim' extremity of Aria. Their mode of travelling is on sledges, drawn by dogs, and some of them were sent this way, going northward. They were in posses .ien of knives, which. it is conjectured. they must bow formed from the iron in its natural state, and which may, perhaps, at some future period become an object of commerce with the natives of these hitherto unknown regions. The weapons they used for killing the smaller species of whales were the horn. of the sea onicorn. Here, Own, at the ter mination of this Mimeo* bey, which. till now, has been supposed to communicate with the Polar Ba ilin, an entire new race of human beings has been discovered ; and the idea ,of *aching the Pole, or of penetrating into the North Pac,fic Ocean by Behring's Straits, through this supposed passage, is for ever at rest. The habelki sad Akilneder traversed the whole bay, having sailed up the -eastern, and returned by the western shore—thus proving that the whole of that vast and unknown country, from Cape Farewell to the Cape Walling ham of Devi., is attached to the continent of Ame rica. After all, the traditionary story, banded down among the Southern Esquimau:, that there it a rapid and narrow river.to the northward, which may communicate with the Polar Basest, is perhaps (evaded on reality. Our navigators, in their pro. grubs round this dreary bay, saw numerous whales ; and doe advantage will no doubt be taken of this valuable discovery by the fishers next season."

Ilia this bill wits Bled by John Lawrence Pidwell avid Samuel Pul well, the linsband and sou of Dorothy Pidwell, who was left a legacy of 6001. under the will of David Kirby, rod also a proportionate share of the testator's properte, after paying his debts and legacies. The words of the will were, "to her. or to her heirs in case of her death ;" the le gacies to be paid our year after the death of the testator. Dorothy Pidwell tied before the ten. titer ; and the twelve mouths had elapsed before the time candying the legacies. The Plaintiffs put in their claim, and the ram-toms refused it, on the ground that Dorothy Pidwell died before 'the testator. The Plaintiff* then filed the present hill. The Learned Counsel contended that the word " or" in the will should be taken in a con jonetive, and not its a di-junctive sense. It was clear-that it was the inteut 1111 l of the testator, that the heirs of Dorothy should take. He, therefore, trusted, that his Honour would grant the prayer of the bill. Mr. Wtt.sott laq-owed on the same side. His Honour the Vics-Custacet.t.ott—" I do not think it siecersary•to hear Contiliel on the other side, as I sin clearly of opinion that the case is against the Plaititiffs. The sole question rests on what was the intention of the testator. The general rule is, that every legacy is to be considered personal, un less a substitution is clearly expressed, -but the tes tator ha. not done so in this case. If she had sur vived the testator, stud died before the time ap palmed fur the ',sluing of the legacies, then un questionably the legacy would beloug to her heirs; but her dying before the testator, completely alters the case. and does away with the claim of her heirs. therefore disniiss the MI. but without tests. My inclination would be to allu,w the Plaintiff's costs, but the rules nod practice of the Court will not al. low me, fur I consider the 101 l was very properly filed." Bill dismissed without costs.

Three rites were, he arid, essesitiAlly dtferent Irons the form of worship prercribrit by the Established Church, for the Liturgy was omitted in the service performed by these Geotlenten. This was contended for the Petitioner as an infraction of the original rules of the founder, and a misapplication of the funds of the establishinem, as it war alleged that these Dos-. meriting Preachers received money for their services, which ought to have beim applied to the school. A large mass of documents ass put before the Court and read, setting forth the nature and p►o- Kres. of the Institsition. soil the uses to which the apartments over the school-room had been applied.

I hail slut seen the des -rimed "dace the morning. Elizabeth Gale sworn, said—l am wife to she 'lnvite/el ; be left me about twenty minister before be wee found hang. sag. He came home in the morning rather intoxicated, •n .l made a greet noise ; he east to the drawer, and got Out a couple of razors, and said that he had come to • great catalc, aud rubbing the razors on his hand, told me that he wuuld soon do his business and mine too very shortly. I seed means to get the na in from his posses.doo, and persuaded him to lay down odd the bed, shah he did. In about half att hour after lie jumped, out of bed, and vociferated, that the people were in pursuit of him, they were corning after him, and he would not stop in lice place. He had stunner, sail still looked very wildly. Afterward, he laid! down on the bed; in • short time after be laid down again, he jumped up, goyim( he was determined to go, because the people were after him. He walked about Ilse room and then went out. I watched hint into the water-closet. Ile remained there about twenty mitotic*, and I began to be alarmed I went and looks', through the kcy-hole, and sew hen stand. hug up. I went up stairs, thinking he w.se coming out, amt alter waiting about ten minotes longer, I still arena with Mrs. Plummer and saw him suspended by a rope. She in stantly cut him down ; he was not dead. She went fur a garrote, sad returned iu about twenty minutes, but noise of the surgeons she called ass attended. Mrs. Ante Plummer sworn, said, that on cutting the rope with which the dreamed was suspended, sod finding that life was iu bins, I made all possible haste fur a surgeon. lest went lu Mr. Eaton, over the way, and there I saw the altopman, to whom I stated the case. He said that Mr. Eaton was out, and he could not leave the shop, and desir ed me to go to Messrs. Benoit suit litlaythwaite, surgeons. I went there, and saw the shopman; he said there was MI. body at horse, and he could not leave the shim. I ran hos. as fast as I could, and the deceased wise not then quite demi. When the deceased drank any liquor he was quite intwoue. He was bitten by a mad dog formerly. He was a good hus band and an industrious man, stud I think he was not in his right mead when he committed the risk act. I have sio doubt but be was the author of his own death. Themes Eagles, • constable, sworn, said, I live at li, Goldsmith's -low, Shoreditch ; I was told by a Headhorough that a men had hung himself; I repaired, with him to the shop of Messrs. Eaton and Allem; when we wee' into the shop, on inquiry the boy said Mr. Eaton was at home—hut when we intimated our business to she sbopmsa, fur what rearms' we could not tell, he said that Mr. Eaton was not at home, and he eves rehoused Isla assistance, saying s be round not leave the soup. We then went to Mears. Semen and Blaythwaite, sergeoss; their abnpmaa said that Mr. Brown was not at home, but Mr. Blaythwaite was; when we told him our business, he aeid that Mr. Mat thyself. was indis posed sad could not attend, and he amid sot leave the shop. Other applications bad been made IWfure we went there.— Ou returning home we met • beadle, who went wish us for Mr. Adams, • surgeon, who attended immediately, shit del every thing thatewas possible, and said, thee if t s.nely attend. tenet had bteu readered, he bad DO doubt but the deceased's life might have been saved. John Sawrey, • Headborough, corroborated the above. Mr. R o bert Jeffs, swore, said—l am • surgeon, and lire st SI, Shorediteb. Yesterday afternoon I was called on to attend the deceased ; I went immediately ; it was between three and four cede, k ; he was dead but out cold; I used the means recommended by the Royal Humane Society, without effect. On the lint view I bad of the body I hail peat hopes of restoring the deceased. When • cawe of danger is stated to a medical gentleman he (Nuke himself bound to attend us a principle of humanity, but nut (rum obligation. I have no doubt but the deceased died from strangulation. I its of opinion, that if the deceased hail bad timely medical assislauce hi. life might have beets saved. The Coroner seaweed up the 'violence, and spoke in strong terms spinet the lubunesise conduct of persons in the on". dice! Isrufeiticas its out attending, and that most hastily, when a case of danger is clearly stated to them, or to those who ere employed. In his solmervations to the Jury he re marked, that he keels of no leer which rendered a medical man criminal in refusing to attend an individual in a rase of great danger; but he thought him worldly reepoesshig to society if such an individual met his death from the want of needieal aid, and *octal sail humane feeling. The Jury, who were mach hurt that they should have the paiurul fluty of bolding an Inquest us • person who had lost his life for the want of timely medical aid, expressed their abborreare at such procerdinos. They returned a verdict— " That the deceased hang Ainevelf. being at the tints Ae did it fn a state of nonfat derangement."
