" We left the River Plate on the sth of October, and proceeded to our southern voyage, our little bark being heavily laden with ten months' provisions. On the 21st we put into Staten Island, and remained in a snug little cove for two months, making numerous philosophical experiments, and swinging the pendulum. We have sent home every thing of value or import ance,—plants, shells, sea-weeds, and a great collection of geological specimens illustrative of the places we visited, and some stuffed birds and insects.

(being the NATURAL HISTORY of INSECTS). John Murray, Albemarle-street. of the Elborouss above the level of the Atlantic ocean, is reckoned to be 16,800 feet, that is nearly five versts (about three and one-third British miles) in a vertical line. We have seen in the neighbourhood of our camp, at the foot of the Elborouss, fine falls of water from several rivers ; the finest beyond contradiction is that formed by th e ri ver • 51alka ; it falls with incre dible noise from a perpendicular height of nearly 20 sajenes. No current of water is to be per ceived ; but the stream drops in isolated masses one after another. At about five sajenes above this cataract, there is a natural bridge, of stone, covered with herbs ; and it is here that the road lies which leads to the Karatchaieff and the mountains. In general, the prospects of this country are very beautiful. We have found in the mountains, during our travelling through them, some lead, plenty of coal and gypsum, some porphyry, some jasper, some conglomera tions, &c. The whole chain of the Caucasus is of granitic. This letter is dated from Goriatchevodsk, 2d ,of August. THE ENSUING SESSIONS.

On Saturday next will be published, Under the sanction of the Executors of Mr. JEFFERSON, " Staten Island is extremely mountainous and rugged, being composed of a series of lofty pr cipitous hills (2,000 feet in altitude), clothed nearly to the top with forests of evergreen becch. trees, the laurel-like winter's , bark, and the holly leaved barbary : these are all evergreen ; besides, there are a host of minor plants. The ground is extremely swampy and boggy—a pvrfeet quagmire. The climate is of a low medium temperature, remarkably equable indeed ; very little fluctuation of t e mperature—scarce four or five degrees throughout the 24 hours. The cold of southern regions is a complete fable, and at variance with truth and nature. At Cape Horn, in latitude 56 degrees south, vegetation was in full vigour in May, or in November in their year, and snow rarely lies upon the low grounds.

Address, post-paid, A. B. (undercover) to Mr. Peach, 25, Cateaton-street. THE SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION TO THE CAUCASUS. The Gazette de Teflis publishes the follow ing details of the scientific expedition to Mount Caucasus : On the 26th of June our expedition left the warm mineral waters for the mountain Elborouss, under the command of the General of Cavalry Emmanuel, in person. It was accompanied by M. Kupfer, tl►e mineralogist ; M. Menethrie, the zoologist, and keeper of the Museum of the Academy of Sciences at St. Petersbu►gh ; M. Seditz, the Assistant Professor of Medicine ; M. Meyer, the botanist of Dorpat ; and M. Vans owitsch, an officer of the mines belonging to the establishment of Lougansk. After having surmounted all the difficulties which offered themselves to our journey, we arrived on the Bth July at the foot of the Elbo rouss, and we encamped on the river Malka.— The baggage was left at 15 versts (about ten English miles) from the Elborouss ; a piece of cannon was brought to within eight versts (about five English miles) of the camp. The scarps of the ascents and descents, and the little width of the paths traced along the steep sides of the mountains did not allow us to advance further otherwise than o►► foot, or on horseback gently ; but nowhere on the road did we meet with any part of it, not even in the marshes, impassible, nor generally did we encounter the natural obstacles which, according to Kiaproth, a►►d other travellers, protects the approaches of the Elborouss. The weather was not favourable to us ; fogs and perpetual rains rendered our journey very painful. On reaching the foot of the Elborouss, we intended to wait for fine weather; but, to our great satisfaction, the sky became clear and bright the next morning, and the two pinnacles of the Elborouss appeared to us in all their majesty. The academicians resolved to avail themselves of this weather so favourable to their enterprise. We hastened to provide them with whatever was necessary for this difficult walk—that is, with pointed staves, cords, &c. They had an escort of some Circassians and Cossack volunteers. They left the camp at nine o'clock in the morn ing, and it was only towards evening that they reached the first snows, where they made pre parations for passing the night, having only mounted about eight versts (about five; Eng lish miles). The next day, the 10th, they be gan their ascent, at three o'clock in the morn ing. The frost favoured them greatly, and they advanced with success enough ; but it became more and more painful, as the snow, beginning to fall, clogged their feet. They were obliged to make frequent halts, and to part them into small divisions. Remaining in the camp, we observed with the greatest curiosity the slow progress of the travellers. Towards nine o'clock in the morning they had climbed to about more than half way up the mountain, and stopped to rest themselves behind the rocks, which con cealed them wholly from our sight. An hour afterwards one man only appeared beyond the rocks, advancing with a firm and measured step towards the summit of the Elborouss. It was in vain that we waited to see him followed by the other travellers ; nobody appeared—on the contrary, many began to return down the moun tain. All eyes were fixed on him who accom plished so daring an. enterprise. Resting every five or six steps, he advanced with the greatest courage ; just close to the summit he disappear ed among the rocks. The spectators long wait ed for his appearance with interest and impa tience ; towards eleven o'clock he was seen sud denly on the very top of the Elborouss. A dis charge of musketry, music, songs, and cheerings of joy, made the air reverberate at this sight. We remained until the evening, uncertain who was the first of mortals that had escaladed the highest of the mountains of Caucasus, considered until this day as inaccessible. On the return of the travellers, we learned that this audacious ad venturer, who had alone dared to attempt the ascent of the Elborouss, and who had proved its possibility, was a Kabardian, an old herdsman named Kiliar, lame and deformed. He received the reward of the prize of 400 rubles, and five archives of cloth, which had been offered by General Emmanuel. One of the academicians, M. Lentz, reached the height of 15,200 feet. The total elevation (From the Glasgow Courier.) Considerable, almost universal, hostility has been excited against Miss SMITHSON in England, arising from an extremely puerile feeling of jealousy at her success in the French metropolis—as much as to say that, because she was admired in a foreign land, she should not be so in her native country. The au dience, the critics, 4 the actors themselves, all agreed in denouncing her style as unworthy of the British Stage. Why ? because her own pure taste and discrimination, formed her judgment, and led her to act according to her own idea and perception of the character—because they had not had the making of her ! and the actors, from a feeling of sheer envy. There was yet another reason ; she kept herself aloof from every one—trusted to herself alone—and depended only on her own resources of mind and matter for success. ller style is exclusively her own—in that at least she can claim the merit of ori ginality. To be able to judge of the extent or power of her genius, we must see her in almost every cha racter she sustains. For this reason the beauties of her Beividera, when contrasted with the faults of her Juliet, shine out to greater advantage ; and these, on the other hand, are overlooked and almost forgotten in the beauties of her Belvidera. Her personation of madness is painfully accurate, powerfully minute, and vividly natural. Every mo tion of the nerves, every transition of the eye, every palpitation of the heart of insanity, Miss SMITHSON delineates with the truest fidelity. As in the mad ness of reality, nothing escapes her —every nerve is alive, every perception acute, every sensibility on the rack—the least sound or motion—the trembling of the window—the sighing of the breeze without, or the slightest agitation within, attracts her instant at tention, and creates a correspondent and no less mi nute vibration in her mind. Her personation of madness is superior to any we ever saw. It is perhaps divested of some of the finer and more acute susceptibilities and feelings which we have seen commuuicated to madness by other actresses, but in the more prominent and particular features, though certainly she may not altogether come up to our idea in the nicer and more subdued outlines, Miss SMITHSON, in our opinion, stands unsur passed. In like manner her Juliet, though in ferior in the softest scenes of virgin love. and impassioned dependence and affection ; yet when she comes to the sterner parts, where Juliet must think, and act, and suffer for herself, where the character requires that development of strength and stretch of mind and purpose, which we had thought at first it was incapable of sustaining, she stands forth at once an actress of power, originality, and truth. Miss SMITHSON is, to some extent, a mannerist ; but KEAN, MACREADY, and Miss F. H. KELLY, are also mannerists; and it is glorious to have the fault of such " a goodly company." Her personation of the characters of SIIAKSPEARE may not, like KEAses, convey the best illustration cf his plays; but it may at least form a text-book, by which to create the taste and direct the judgment of his readers. Her embodyments may not form the best portrait gallery of SHAKSPEARE'S female charac ters, but they will at least furnish data of the truest and most natural description, by which that portrait gallery may be perfected and sustained. (From the Glasgow Chronicle.) On Monday evening OTwAY'S beautiful tragedy of " Venice Preserved" was performed, the prin cipal attraction being tile Belvidera of Miss SMITHSON. Miss SMITHSON is tall, finely formed, and possesses a countenance well fitted vividly to pourtray the workings of the nobler and stronger passions. Her gesture and elocution frequently remind us of Miss O'Nut., though it is evident she is no imitator of that lady, her style of acting being almost exclusively her own. Venice Preserved," though one of our finest closet-plays, is not very well fitted fur the stage.— The dialogues are too long and too little diversified by action or incident ; indeed, for the first four acts, Miss SMITHSON had little opportunity of showing her powers. In that scene, however, where her husband, distracted by the complication of calami ties with which he is encompassed, pours out his griefs to her, and half hoping►, half fearing her de cision, enquires whether she could bear with him the scowl of poverty, her burst of confiding tenderness and affection was, to say the least of it, sublime.— Her delivery of the passage, " If love be wealth, then we are wondrous rich," was equal to the finest of KEAN'S splendid displays of passion. But it was in the last act that the full torrent of her genius burst forth like some mighty river partiallf impeded in its course. Ido not be lieve that a more terrible picture was ever exhibited than that of her distraction and despair, when her devoted husband, warned by the tolling of the bell, rushes out to attend his friend in death. The ob scure dread of something which she could not well define—the feeling of utter loneliness and deser• tion—the thought that she—she alone, was the cause of her husband's despair and degradation, were pourtrayed in such a manner, as actually made the blood run cold. Ido not know if a finer sub ject for a painting of a priestess of Apollo in the agony of inspiration could be found, than she pre sented at that moment. The last scene, also, where, in the incoherence of insanity, she calls for her hus band, where she imagines him sinking into the earth, and, with her fingers stiff in the agony of death, tries to dig up the mould to get at him, may be imagined or dreamed of, but cannot be de scribed. The effect was such, that the house was in a partial stupor when the curtain fell. 4 ' We (The Sun) must beg leave to he excepted. We said, when Miss Smithson was in London, and say still, that she is one of the finest actres•es of the day. A report is very generally circulated in this city that Sir T. B. LETHBRIDGE has recently disposed of his Dunster estate, amounting to' 5,000 acres, to a Staffird shire gentleman, named BEACH, for the sum of 100,0001. ; and should this prove correct, it may be considered as in dicative of the worthy Baronet's intention not to contest the representation of the county, in the event of a dissolu tion of Parliament,.. -Bath Herald. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) Suoart.—There was a heaviness about the Sugar Mar ket last week, and as several holders evinced a determina tion to sell the prices gave way generally Is. per cwt. ; some dry brown 48s. ; the estimated sales were 2,300 blids. This day the stock of Sugar in London is about 3,000 hhds. and trs. more than last year. The deliveries last week are about 1,000 hhds. and trs. less than the corres ponding week of 182 S. At the close of the Market thin afternoon the purchases of Muscovades, including the public sale of Barbadoes, are estimated at only 600 hhds. and trs. ; Barbadoes sold Is. lower. In the Refined Market there have been considerable purchases of goods for the Mediter ranean in Crushed, and in Lumps and Loaves, and the Market is again bare of low goods ;' the finest descriptions have also been taken off rather freely for the double Refined duty. The prices of Grocery goods are steady ; the pur chases are still confined to small parcels for immediate use, but to-day there is rather more doing, and the Markets look more firm. EAST INDIA. SUGARS. —There have been no purchases of East India Sugar worth reporting. FOREIG N SUGAR.—There have been no sales of Havan nah Sugars ; 150 chests Brazil, low to good white Rio, 325. 6d. ; low middling white Pernams, 28s.—This d a y 114 chests Rio Sugar; mid. white all taken in 28s. to 325.; brown good colour, hut not strong, sold 17s. to 18s. 6d. COFFEE.—The Coffee Market was in such a languid state last week that only a very small proportion of the Coffee brought forward could be disposed of. The few parcels of Jamaica which sold went at the previous rates. In Foreign no sales are reported.—This day, at the public sales, 253 casks 93 bags Jamaica and Berbice Coffee, 800 bags Brazil ; the fine ord. 325. (Id., the good ord. pale 31s. 6d. ' to 325. ; Brazil Coffee is Is. lower ; the British Plan tation much about forger prices, except the fine, which was taken in much lower. Rum, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-The purchases of Rum since Tuesday last consist of about 300 puns. Lee wards, parcels averaging proof at Is. 9d. (free on board Is. 10-W. to Is. lid.), and 5 over at Is. 10,1. ; in Ja maica tve hear of no sales. Brandy is firm, but without alteration in price. Geneva still neglected. HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.-The Tallow Market is very dull, and the prices are still receding, owing to the supplies direct being large, and the quantity from the Black Sea being also reported very considerable. Hemp is also rather lower. Max ❑nvaried. The letters from St. Petersburgh are dated the 9th inst. Exchange, iod. '2l-32. Tallow 97. Bought 500 to 600. Ships arrived, 765 ; sailed, 608. ASHES.—Ashes are dull. The accounts from Liver pool are unfavourable. Nista PROVISIONS.—In Irish Beef and Pork there is little variation. Bacon is steady; the new sells about 50s. The fine Butters are Is. a 2s. higher. OILS.—The accounts from the Fisheries are much more favourable than generally anticipated, they are up to the end of September, and state nearly an average supply as nearly as could he ascertained ; the reports had little or no effect on the Market currency here. Sperm is heavy en account of the late arrivals. In other Oils there is little variation. _ TOBACCO.-The transactions in Tobacco hare been rather extensive ; about 500 Mids. of the new Tobacco changed hands since - Tuesday last. Yesterday a large parcel of low Kentucky sold, the price of the latter did not transpire, but it was reported about 2gd. or 3d. ; the Virginia new at 4/1.1., old exports at 3d. a 334 Hors,-There is so little doing in Hops that the prices must be considered nominal, but the parcels are offered considerably lower; new at 71. 10R. to Sl. Bs.; IS2B at Si. 15s. a 61. Bs. The duty has advanced to 35,000/. RICE.-There is no alteration in the demand, or in the prices of Rice; the purchases are confined to small par cels at the former currency. This day's sale 400 bags fine white Bengal Rice, nearly all taken in at I3s. 6d. Corrote.-The Market has been very steady. The purchases for the week ending last night inclusive, show a steady demand and firm prices. SYICES.-The inquiries after Spices continue, hut there are no purchases of any extent. This day at public sale 1,029 bags white Pepper, the great proportion good qua lity, sold at 50. Pimento is rather higher to-day. SALTTETRE.-There is rather more demand for Salt petre, and the prices are a shade higher. Wool.--Although the Market is far from exhibiting any appearance of briskness, more solid business has been doing within the last fortnight than for many weeks pre viously, and a more steady demand for Cloth indicates a return to a more general consumption. The last public sale of Van Diemen's Land and New South Wales Wool went off briskly, and the Australian Company obtained as high as ss. 3d. for a few bales of their best Wool. Some few private sales of the finest German Wools have 1 een made at good prices, and some choice Electorals have sol 4 at Gs. 6d. a 6s. 9d. a 7s. There is also a good demand for Spanish Wools, and the last arrivals have gone off freely as soon as landed, at fair prices for the quality, from Is. 4d. to ls. Sd. On the whole, the Market may be con sidered us improving, but prices, except for particular kinds, are stationary. SILK.-The East India sale commenced yesterday ; there was a good attendance of buyers, and considerable competition in the biddinge ; the following is the result : -The prices are above od. to 73d. per cent. higher than last sale, but the quality is generally considered rather bet ter; there have been about 1,000 bales of Company's sold, and 100 bales of the coarser sorts have been scratched. TEA.-The operations in the Market ate not exclusive, but there is some business doing in most descriptions. FRUIT.-The arrivals of new Fruit are extensive, and, as usual, they are hurried forward to public sale : the ar rivals are of Turkey, of common and fine Spanish, and of . French Fruit.

The best samples of Wheat being mostly selected for seed, and the remainder being of very inferior quality, caused our market to be very dull, without any variation in value, which way the same with all other kinds of Grain.

The Summers of the south are by no means warm or hot, nor winters cold ; but to compensate for this, it is the region of wind, storms, and rain, perpetual gales and eternal rains; never 24 hours without rain. It is the Court of Eolus surely. The barometric pressure low and mean, being 22.32 inches,—magnetic intensity low,—the winds almost always westerly,—electric phenomena ex tremely rare. These are the outlines of the cli mate, to which great attention has been paid on board the Chanticleer with the best possible in struments. I have forwarded some seed:: from these regions, which will stand the English cli mate well and prove advantageous; from among them I will enumerate one or two. " First, the Fuegian rush, of which most ad mirable baskets are made, table -mats, chair-bot toms, and probably hats and bonnets : it is re markably strong, and the produce rather elegant, somewhat like cane work or India mats. stem is rather sweet, and when dried eats like coarse hay, for which in cases of necessity it may be a substitute. This rush has the habit and as pect of our common rush, which, however, it must justly supplant by reason of its very superior qualities. It will grow on moist boggy soils, where nothing else will grow. Its flower is large, and not inelegant ; it is the juncus grand locus. I have sent a fine specimen of the basket work to the Admiralty, with a quantity of seeds, should it be thought worthy of notice. " Secondly, the seeds of a barberry (harberris microphylla), intermediate in quality between a grape and a gooseberry, of a good size and fine appearance ; the bush is not inelegant ; is a free and copious beater ; the fruit fit for the table, or domestic use. " Thirdly, Seeds of a large and luxuriant celery, of very hardy habit. " Fourthly, A most charming and elegant arbutus, an evergreen of great beauty, competing even with the myrtle, and bearing a profusion of red berries in the winter. " Fifthly, A Frechsia, of great merit ; being, in fact, a shrub of good size, bearing clusters of pendant flowers of the greatest beauty. It is a very superb plant, and so hardy as to leave no doubt of its being an ornament to the choicest gardens. ie o l tl i l o ri n u e m o , f a m n ostv auriculai‘id hue, of g az a u t in i o no l.; and ornamental plants. The berries of the hamadryas, form a colou r t m h between turmeric and annotta, with a curious specimen of Mood, green as verdigreise, which forms an admirable paint. These are some of the results of my botanical researches, excepting some remarks upon the magnificent and gigantic sea-weeds of these regions. The Horticultural Society will have all the seeds, as they furnished me with paper, &c., for their preservation, and. as I am in some measure employed by them. <<ln comparative anatomy, I have made som e researches which are curious. In the dissection of the seal of South Shetland, I found a vein of enormous magnitude, 17 inches in diameter, a most prodigious one indeed, and unparalleled, but in this department you have little interest. Well, we will proceed from Staten Island to South Shetland, and to the southern land (query continent ?), as many of us were disposed to rank it, from its extent and appearance. Lofty mountains running a considerable distance in. land, 70 miles, and a great extent of coast, which we could not determine. We came to a point, which we called Cape Possession, and deposited a cylinder, containin, an inscription of our tak ing possession in the name of George IV., the e we were l latitude of the spot being 63 . 45 . south, and longitude GO. west, being the most southern yet known. handsome land which ,bonito. lhave : a e re of tle rock, is sur rounded with numerous icebergs of immense size, from 300 to 400 feet in height, and up wards of 1,000 feet in length—pretty consider able masses, I presume, to come in contact with. We put into the harbour of Deception Island, as horrid, dreary, and wretched a place as the imagination can conceive, the very portal of Pan demonium,—an island of black ashes and cin ders, covered with mountains of iee and snow, —not a vestige of vegetation,—horror of hor rors. Here we tarried two months, to our great discomfiture and annoyance. There are myriads of millions of penguins, which, in the absence of other food, we were obliged to eat. The around in some parts is covered to the extent of two or three miles with these birds. The flesh is black, and at best it is little superior to dog's meat." PRESENT STATE OF TURKEY,---" WC Coll gratulatc Mr. MAcntanalat," observes a critical writer, " on the production of his delightful and instructive work, ' Constantinople in 1528,' of which it is saying but little to say, that it abounds in interest; it 'is full of information of the most varied and itnprtant charzeter, and presents a minute and faithful portraiture of a nation with whom it is of so much consequence that we should be well acquaint ed. From the beginning to the end there is not a single page that do -s not amuse while it informs ; his anecdotes are the most recherche imaginable, his descriptions vivid in the extreme, and whether his work is read for amuse ment or information, the result to the reader will, we are nvinctd, prove equally satisfactory."
