ORATORIO--DRITRY-LANE. Last night ult. ameba again treated the musical fre qualiers of it,-tirv-lane with a combination of pieces whose merits have a.l Len long since deservedly acknowledged. Th e people of this metropolis seem quite carried away with a rage for 11111i1:', and the artists in the profession arc reap ing a corns .ling harvest.

If this Bill 'me not Cooperation, there would have been a sttottt necessity for its exercise, and its not being exercised was no pprrooooff that it was not necessary. The. Ministers mid that the Alien Act WAS now necessary, and he so pinned his faith on what they said, that he believed the measure absolutely necessary. The character sod the veracity of the Government (knowing more than he could) was pledged to the necessity, and be would therefore vote for the continuance of the Alien Act. Ile thought it wisely and preukntly continued, and should therefore oppose the present Resolutions. The Government, in whose hands this matter lay, knew well the interests of this country; and as he was convinced they would attend to both, he saw no reason for the discontinuance of a measure which they declared to be necessary. Mr. PATTrie said, that no necessity existed for the continuance of the Alien Act, beyond the neceviii*. the Government created or f,mooted, with the view of aiding the tyrants who now desolate the airest portions of civilized Europe. If once the Parliament of England were reformed, there would be no necessity for the fre quent interference of this Court. and decidedly we would not have an Alien Act. All the abuses in our 'poem grew out of a defec tive representation, which again led to the adoption of measures subversive of the beet interests of mankind. No strong necessity was shewn for the Alien Act. and it was becoming a free people to tell the leagued confederacy of foreign despots, that we would not be their allies in infamy. Mr. SLAM: ObWlyed, that the worthy Gentleman (Mr. James) had always pinned his faith on the sleeve of Government, and now gave an additional testimony of his devotion to the powers that he. lie said we should he more courteous to the Allied Sovereigns. To whom? To Austria, always weak and insidious? To Russia, over. reaching and ambitious? To Prussia, but lately admitted to the rank of a State These Powers were humbled and broken down by the I mighty arm of Napoleon, and how did they recover those countries? By an appeal to their people; and when they were leplaced on their thrones, what was their conduct ? To enslave and persecute their people. Such were the Sovereigns who acre said to be entitled to I respect. The Ministers of this country were praised by the worthy I Gentleman (Mr. Jame), but what did he say to the apostacy of 31r. Wynn, who always opposed this Alien Act until he became a member of theoovernment ? were the offences calling for the cruelty and the persecution of the allied band of Sovereigns against their people ? Why, that they wished for freedom and free institutions. Such was the sin for which the people of Naples, and Spain, and Pointe, were now hunted like wild beasts from their owe home. Ws at least Mould not lend ourselves to this wicked cnnlederacy ; hut by the repeal of the obnoxious Alien Bill, show ' them that Englishmen abhorred tyranny, and would never abet tyrants. Mr. R. TAYLOR, in reply, said, little was now left him to state but this, that to the refugees from this country. who were protected in Holland. we were mainly indebted for ouiConstitution, as esta. Wished in Ifetd. In Holland that constitution was concocted, and l)e Witt attributed the wealth and freedom of Holland to the pro ! teetion which that State attneeled to those who were persecuted for political and religious opinions in other countries. Mr. Br evenwonen me to address the Court, but it was ob. jetted to, on the ground that, after the reply, such a permission was not usually allowed. Several Gentlemen, however, wished to hear the item member, and the Loan 31AVOR said he should have no objection, but at 1 I the same time, if that worthy Gentleman spoke, others had a right of reply. Mr. BUTTERWORTH then observed, that as long as the Go ',cement felt it right to continue the Alien Bill. he for one would not oppose it. For tine year, at all events, he would continue his confidence in the Government, and therefore hold up his hand against these resolutions. Alderman VENABLE! said, that if the Alien Bill were to be continued on the ground of confidence in the Government, it would go to establish the Star Chamber, or any other similar tribunal. (Cries of •! Question !") 111 r. Pewvitess thought it highly unbecoming and ungenerous in a hind of freedom, to refuse protection to the persecuted of other countries, and who were only persecuted because they coveted to be free, like its. In a time of war, the Alien Bill might he neces sary a time of peace, it was not only obnoxious but unneees. mry. In fact, the Ministers of the country were not anxious to continue it, and if the public voice were exerted against it, he was persuaded that it would be discontinued. As now existing, it only served to aid the despotic views of a desperate band of despots, who having a total disregard for freedom—dreading free institu tuticeta„ wish to destroy them amongst ourselves. In conclusion, he thought the timely interference of the British public would pa raliae taeir efforts, and defeat their wicked objects. The resolutions were then agreed to. Upon the motion that a petition, founded upon them, should be presented to both Houses of Parliament, Mr. Alderman Tit ost PSON proceeded to state his reasons in sup port of the Allen Hill, when The botolllkvon observed. that it was inconsistent with the usage of the Court to discuss over again those resolutions which were agreed to. On the petition being read, Mr. Ahlerman THOMPSON observed, that the history of this 'country proved that foreigners never were admitted into this coun try estcpt under certain restrictions. The Alien Hill was now gßust!modified, and he could see no reason for its not being , Mr. Alderman NANT.TII contended, that by the prtivisians of Magna Chart", foreigners, particularly merchants, were encour aged to come over to this country. Queen Elizabeth also encour aged them, as far as was consistent with the safety of this country. In fact we owed much of our skill in manufactures to their encour agement ; and he would only say now that he cordially agre-•d with all the resolution". _ . Mr. ItouTit supported the resolutions, and avid the only ques tion he the Court now was, did the petition, just read, emb,xly the resolution* which were agreed to ? Mr. ('ROCKER objected to the tietidon, as unnecessary and un called for.

JOURNAL Of • SICONO VOYAGE TOR THE ',worm or • NORTH-WEST PASVAGE FROM THE ATLANTIC TO THE PACIFIC: Performed In the rears 1821424% in the Fury mid Heds, Under the Command of CAPTAIN WILLIAM EDWARD PARRY, R.N. T.R.I. (Published by authority of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty.] (Continued from our Papa of Tuesday.) Our readers cannot fail to peruse with extreme interest the following erstract : On the 13th and 14th the weather was extremely mild, the ther mometer getting an high as + ; and as this tOO% lace with a north-west wind, which was usually the coldest, we began to flatter ourselves, that the spring was now indeed advancing by rapid strides. lln the evening of the 14th, though the thermometer was no higher than 4", the atmosphere hail a degree of softness in it an pleasant to our sensations, that, as one of the quarter-masters not . unnaturally, however unphilomphically, remarked, " it felt ciactly as if it was going to rain"—a phenomesson, however, that war nos I so near as we then expected. This apparent turn in the season in duced me to allow Captain Lyon to put in execution a plan he had proposed, of going out with los intended party fur one day, for the double purpose of affording them a little practice, and of ascertaining the breadth and nature of the channel which he would have to cross on the ice, in order to reach the main land. As the plan of the journey p artly depended upon this, I agreed to his proposed of set ting out for tads purpose on the following day, taking with him a tent, blankets, and provisions, for three days, in ease of accidents. At seven a.m. on the 13th, Captain Lyon and his party left the ships, the thermometer being as high as :try, and a moderate breeze blowing from the northward, though accompanied by con siderable snow-drift, an annoyance which it now requiml much less strength of wind to create than at the CollllMe4Ceillent of the winter, owing to the snow having become more minute. From the very hour of Captain Lyon's departure, the thermometer to fall rapidly, and the wind to increase, till at midnight die b 7=ies had readied and a hard gale blew from the north-west; upon the whole it proved one of the moat inclement nisbal fir people to be exposed to, that we bad experienced in our resent quarters, and therefore created in our minds the most alarming np pretensions for the safety of our travellers. It is scarce's less, difficult to imagine than to describe the contrast between exposure to all the horrors cf such tremendous inclemency, and the lire-ode comforts we on hoard were enjoying. In this climate, more fre quently than in any other, dues the mind turn to the Poor :laded wretches, whereene'er they be, 'filet bide the pelting of the pitiless storm. But now that some of our companions were thus exposed, the idea came more forcibly home to our recollecions, together with the utter helplessness, not to say hopelessness, of their situation. The wind and drift continued inceasahtly on the lSth, and as the thermometer rose no higher than —2O" during the day. our appre hensions for Captain Lyon's party were by no means diniiniahed. To send in quest of them would have been only. to incur the cer tainty of other own being equally exposed. Indeed this is one of the eases in which no assistance can be offered ; for any person sent out with that hope most inevitably become helpless in a short time, while the snow.drift. would render it impossible to trace those whom they were intended to assist. We had, however, prepared a party tinder Lieutenant Reid, to be despatched the instant it mode rated; when, to our infinite surprise and joy. at one e.m. Captain Lyon arrived on board, having with great ditficulty succeeded in conducting his party safely to the ships. If I have nuereeded in imparting to the reader any idea of that apprehension for the safety of our absentees, which we ourselves experienced, he will not be sorry at once to be prevented with Captain Lvon's account of this perilous though short excursion:— "At seven A. m., on the 1:lth, we proceeded towards the hills to the northward of our winter-quarters. A strong wind arose soon after our starting, and blew directly in our facts, bringing thick clouds of drift snow with it. (In ascending the s loping ground we found the sledge too much for us, and it was with great difficulty dragged through the Rat snow in which we waded knee deep. The wind had now increased to a heavy gale, our utmost view was bounded to twenty yards, and ever; time of resting to take breath we all received severe frost-bites. The sun having risen above the thickest part of the drift snow, enabled us to steers direct northerly course, for we expected in that direction to arrive at a small bay, which had been observed by Captain Parry and myself on our fist arrival. At ten we were continued in our conjecture by descending suddenly and arriving at a quantity of grounded ice, directed by which we made our way round the head of the bay, and arrived on the side of a small hill • little after eleven. The extreme severity of the weather determined me on pitching our tent, and waiting until, in better weather, we could, from the rising ground, command a view of our future route. _ . " hen the tent had been pitched an hour, and our party were all smoking to promote warmth, the temperance at our feet was I" below zero, and over head, amongst the awoke, a-7 4 ; in the outer air it was 5 4 , which, although of itself suMciently cold. was ren dered doubly piercing by the strength of the wind. John bee war. soon seized with a fit of shivering and severe pains in the loins, to check which we put him into his blanket and covered him with clothes which could ill be spared. A deep hole being dug in the snow, a fire was made with the greatest difficulty, and we were made comfortable for a time with a warm mess of soup. I afterwards found that ihwould be po,sible, by extending our excavation, to make a cavern in which we might pass the night, for it would have been next to impossible to continue in the tent. Some of the men were therefore set to work, and had thus so good an oportunity of warming themselves, that our oily shovel was lint from cute to the other as a partictear favour. At'. P.M. the outer zit 'was —l5", and zero was the temperature of the tent, 'rhea Arnold's pocket cheer°. meter stopped from the effects of the cold. By ham r. x. the cavern was finished, and of sufficient size to contain us all in a sit. ting posture. After taking some hot Poop, Lee was removed to the wannest place we could select, and making a fire, we managed, by its smoke, which had no vent, to raise the temperature to + 2 r, while outside ft had fallen to —25 0 . ire now cleaned our clothes as well as possible from the thick coating of snow-drift, and closing the entrance of the cave with blocks of snow, we crept into our blanket bap, and huddled close together, to endeavour to procure a little sleep. Oar small dwelling had a very close feel, which was perhaps not a little augmenttal by the refiection, that a spade nlone could liberate us again after a night's drift of snow ; and our roof being two feet thick, and not of the most secure description, there was tin small probability of its breaking down on us, in which case, confined as we were in our bags, and lying almost upon each other, we should have but little chance of extricating ourselves. " At daylight en tile Ifith we found the temperature at + 2 1 r, until we (fug out the entrance, when it fell to +ls°, while outside it was -25". IVe again lighted our fit:, and after sitting two hour; in such thick black smoke that we could not see our feet, succeeded in making some tea, which answered a double purpose, as it served to thaw sonic meat which was frozen in the canisters. At nine A.M. the gale was unabated, and the drift as severe as ever. The tent was half buried in the snow, and I act all hands to work at digging omit the sledge, but it was so deeply sunk that our efrorts were un. succesaful, and in the attempt our faces and extremities were tort painfully frost-bitten. With all these ditficultica before us, Mr. , Palmer and myself consulted together as to whether it would be most prudent to endeavour to pass another night in our present precarious situation, or while we were yet able to walk, male attempt to reach the shim which we supposed were about six miles from 14L We could not see a yard of our way. yet to remain appeared worse thin to go forward, which last plan was decided on. At thirty minutes past nine, having placed ell our luggage in the tent, and erected a small flag over it, we set out, carrying a few pounds of bread, a little , and a spade. The wind being now in our backs, we walled very briskly, and having an occasional gliniene of a very faint win through the drift, managed to steer a tolerable course. James ('art, having loitered a little behind us, was suddenly missed, and by the most liirturtate chance we saw him running across our path in avant% of us, for had he born ten yards farther off, lie might have been lost. After walking sever-1 miles we came to grounded ice, and saw the tracks of Esquimau: men and dogs, but these were so confused, that we knew not which marks to follow. " Not knowing on which side of the shim we hail arrived, we feared to go to the southward or eastward, and accordingly we went as nearly west as possible, in which direction we again crowed tracks. We now wandered amongst the heavy hnmmocks of ice without knowing which track to pursue, and suffering from cold, fatigue, and anxiety, were soon completely bewildered. Several of our party began to exhibit aymproms of that horrid kind of insensi bility which is the prelude to shier. They all professed caffeine willingness to do what they were told in order to keep in exercise. but none obeyed: on the contrary they reeled about like drunken men. The faces of several were severely frost-bitten, and some kad for a considerable time lost sensation in their fingers and toes; yet they made not the slightest exertion to rub the parts affected, and discontinued their gencraicustom of warming each other on observ ing a discrliwatioo of the skin. We continued for wine time to employ them in building a snow-wall, ostensibly as a shelter from the wood, hut in reality to give them exercise, for standing still mum have proved fatal to men in our circumstancea. My attention was particularly directed to Serjeant fpackrnan, who having been re heatedly warned that his nose was frozen. hsd paid no attention to it, owing to the state ofstupefaction into which he had fallen. The frost. bite had now extended over one side of his face, which was (town as hard as a matsk, the eye-lids were stiff, and one comer of the upger lip so drawn up as to expose the teeth and gums. :kly hands being still warm I was enabled to restore the circulation, after which I used all my endeavours to keep him in motion, but he corn - plained sadly of gddinesa and dimness of sight, and was so weak as to be unable to walk of hintself. Ili% case was indeed so alarm ing, that I expected every moment he would tie down never to rise again. Our prospect now became every moment more gloomy, and it was but too evident that four of our party could not survive an other hour. Mr Pittner, however, endeavoured with myself to cheer the people, but it wax a faint attempt, as we had not a single' hope to give them. We had lion reason to fear immediate danger to ourselves, in conseiyucnce of having fur coats instead of woollen ones. Every piece of ice, or even small wick or atone, was now taken fur the slips ; and we had great difficulty in preventing the Comm run ning to the different objects which attracted them, and losing thenwelves in the drift. In Washer, while Mr. Palmer was running round us to warns himself, he suddenly pitched on a new beaten track, and as exercise was indispensible, we determined no following it wherever it might lead us. !laving taken the ser jeant under my coat, he recovered a little and we moved onwards, when, only those who have been in a similar state of distress can imagine our joy at finding . the path that led to the ships, at which we arrived in about ten minutes.

This will appear ahundently in the fol. lowing narrative :-- Early in the morning the Esenimaux had beer observed in motion at the hey, aid several .ledge drawn by clogs and heavily laden went off to ahe we:tweed. (in going out to the village, wie found ore-half of the pee.le had quitted their late habitations. tacking with them every article of their property, and had o ore, the ice, we knew not wharfs, in quest of more abundant food. The wretched appearance which the interior of the hula now pre. sented baffles all description. In each of the larger ones emu 4 the apartments were either wholly or in part do-trial, the veil snow which comported the beds and fire-place% having hem turned up, that no snide might be left behind. Even the bare walls. whose original coiner was scarcely perceptible for hums.bliolt. blood, and other filth, were not left perfect, large holt, having beet made in the skier ad roues for the convenience of handing out the , goods and chattels. The sight of a deserted habitation is at a:i tome calculated so excite in the mind a sensation of dreariness sad desolation, especially when we have lately igen it tilled with chew ful inhabitants; but the feeling is c a n heightened rather than diminished, when a small portion of these inhabiltpts reins& he. hind to endure the oreichetineet which such a slime eshtlits. This was now the eerie at the village where, though the remaining talents of each hut had combined to occupy one of the aptertmeses„ a 4 -rest part of the bed.placte were mill halo, and the wiad and drift blowing in through the helot which they had not yet tale= the trouble to atop up. l'he u1:1 man, liikkeieta, a-d his wife, oc cupied a hot by themselvis, without any lamp or a single ore* of meat beanging to them; while three small skins, on which the filmier wit lying, were all that they possessed in the way of blankets. Upon the whole, I never beheld a more miserable epee tacle ; and it aleented &charity to hope that a violent and esteem( cough, with which the old man was afflicted, would speedily eon. tine with his age and infirmitiee to release him front his present. sufferings. Vet in the midst of all this lie was even cheerful, nor-ono th.rn a gloomy countenance to he seen to the village. Almost ell the men were out; and ii , me of them had been leaf so far to sea upon the Boating and detached masses of ice in pursuit of .sal. rules, that Captain Lyon, who observed their siinatioo from the ships had it m contemplatian, in the course of the evening. to launch one of the small bouts to go to their assistance. They scented, however, to entertain no apprehensions themselves, from a confidence perhaps that tl:e south-east wind might be do. needed upon for keeping the ice close home upon . the shire. It is certain, nor viithetaarling, duet no degree of precau tion, nor any knowledge of the winds and tide% can render tins otherwise than a most perilous mode of obtainiegsubsisterce; and it was impootilelie therefore not to admire the fearlessness as well as dexterity with a hieh the Esquituaux invariably pursucil it. I laving distributed some bread-dust arming the women, we told 0;41 Illumea and her daughter Togolit that we roomed taking up our lodging in their hut for the night. ft is a reineritahle trait in the character of these people, that they always thank eou heartily for this as well as for eatingeiny of thew meat; but both brand and lodging may he given to them whiteout rcceivirg the sliyhteet se knowledgment either in word or deed. As it was late before the men returned. I asked 'fogolat to get the re 1 of tl:e women to per form some o( their games, with the hUpe of axing something that was new. I had scarcely thee to inuke the proposal when she darted out of the hut, and quickly brought every fcmnie that was left at the village, not excel:dig even use olthett of LIICSIN ollos joined in the perfoemance with the neme ale. ray as the test. I could however only persuade them in go threinto a ortieus song we had often before heard, which was now incleoi stenewhot medified by their inelsting on our oiling our turns the die earfromsete, all shicb did not feif to create among them tever-e. &Meg metriment and laughter. Neither their want of fold aid Mel, nor the uncer tain prospect of obtaining any that night, were enfficient to deprive these poor creatures of that cheerfulness and peccei-humour which it seems at all dines their peculiar happiness to enjoy. The night proved very thick with small snow, end as disagree. able and dangerous for people adrift upon floating ice as can well lee imagined. If the women however gave their husbands a thought or spoke of than to us, it was only to express a very sincere hope that sonic goad news might shortly arrive of their success. Our singing-party had alit long been broken up when it was suddenly anrouneed by one of the children, the usual heruld,s on such Ones , sions, that the men had killed something on the :: e The only too men who were at home instantly scrambled on their cuter jackets, harnessed their doge, and set .11 to assist their companion! , is bring. ing !more the game, while the women reniainoil tier AA hour in anx ious suspend at to the extent of their husbands success. At length one of the men arrived with tire positive Intelligence of two walruses biting' been taken, and brought with him a portion of these huge ant - Mah e as large as he could drag over the snow. If the women were only 'cheerful before. they were now absolutely frantic. A general about of joy instantly re-echoed through the village; they run into 'each other!, huts to eimmainicate tho std. conic intelligence. and aehially hugged one another in an testacy of delight by way of congratulatroin. One of them, Amaloon, a pretty young woman of nineteen or twenty, knowing that a dog belonging to her husband was still at the huts, and that there was no man to take him down on the ice, ran nut instantly to perform that eftee e and with a hardiness not to be surpassed by any of the mss, re turned, after two hours' absence, with her load of walrue-floth, and without even the hood thrown over her bead, to shelter her from. the inclemency of the weather. When the lust burst of joy had at length subsirled, the women crept one by one into the iyartment where the first portion of die sea-horses tad been conveyed, arid which is always that of one of the men Minion/m:lv concerned in the killing of them. Here they obtained blubbei enough to set all their lamps alight, besides a few straps of meat for their children Alai theinsclvis. From this time, which was nine o'clock, till past midnight, fresh cargoes were continually arriving, the principal part being brought it?' by the dogs, and the test by the men, who, tying the thong which held it round their waist, dragged itt each his avenue porta nt. lkface the whole was brought in, however, some of them went out three 1 times to the scene of action, though the distance was a mile and a half. Ercy lamp novr swimming with o:1, the huts exhibited a Mane of light, nod never was there a scene of more joyous festivity than while the operation of tutting up the walruses continued. I took the opyortnnity which their preNnit good bunion; afforded, to oti_ rain a peel-et head and tusls of one of these animals, w:tich we had rot been able to di) before ; and indeed, so much were their hearts opentil by the scene of abunt:nnt^ before them, that I be. here they would hare given t.' any thirog we asked for. This disposition was consitlersh:y iuer:u:d also by their taking it Woo their heads; that thei• succ:ss was in ',nue 11'37 or other connected with, or even owing to, um baring taken up our night's lodging at the huts. The philosophic reader will remark. that many virtues grow wild, if we may so express it. in the character of this extraordinary peorl , .. When they have been fortu nate in the chase, and have brought dome an abundant supply, they dividift liberally, and seem to enjoy a singular pleasure in the participation. The scarcity of food, and the toil of obtaining it, does not make them, as beforehand we might have supposed, reluctant to char, it; nor beget in them those feelftto of selfishness, so familiar to our ob servation in more civilised society. We forbear at present to extend our extracts from this amusing and valuabk work to a greater length, but shall return to it at our first opportunity.
