Changarnier himself is in London, but the remaining ten thousand are yet to follow ! -P t.,,,ch. WAGES IN THE MIDDLE OP THE WEEK.-We are happy to learn that the principal ironfoanders of Glasgow Lave commenced paying their workmen on Wednesday. at two o'clock instead of Saturday, and we have learned that the expectations of the humane and patriotic masters have been more than realized. The workmen returned after din-, ner, almost in every instance, leaving their wages behind them with their families, who have now leisure and day light to seek for the cheapest markets, and ,Spend the money to the best advantage.-Glasgow Herald. FRANCE. The intended grand ball at the Tuileries has been fixed for Saturday next. The Court of Accounts held a sitting on Wednes day, under the presidency of M. Barthe, for the re ception of some of its new members. M. Sallandrouza de Lamornaix has written to the Constitutionnel to say that it is not true, as stated by one of the journals, that a sum of 25,000 f. has been awarded to him by the Royal Commission of the Ex hibition at London, for his services as French Com missary -General A sum of money was, he says, offered him by the Commission, but he declined to accept it. The Journal des Flandres of Ghent states that M. Carnot, ex-representative of France, who has been occupying a house near that city, has been conducted to the frontiers of Belgium by the gendarmerie. M. Mathieu (de la Drome), another ex-representative has for a month past been residing at Ostend. • THE SUN, LONDON, GERMANY. A Berlin journal states that the Government of Hanover has made another proposition to the Ger manic Diet, with a view to prevent the dissolution of the German fleet. It appears that Hanover is dis posed to raise, in conjunction with some other states, the funds necessary to prevent the projected dissolu tion of the fleet. The Augsburg Gazette states that Prince George of Waldeck, who attained his legal majority on the 14th, has refused to take the oath to the liberal constitution drawn up in 1849, and left the government of his Principality in the hands of his mother until the mo difications that he desires can be effected. He has in the meantime returned to the University of Bonn to resume his studies. The Breslau; Gazette of the 18th states, under the head of Vienna, that the commission appointed to re form the laws of the Empire is composed of men justly entitled to public confidence, and that their names will shortly be submitted to the Emperor for his sanction. The Vieniul Gazette announces several promotions in the higher grades of the army, and the appoint ment of several generals as commanders of garrison towns and fortresses. The Customs Congress at Vienna adopted, on the 15th, the basis of the treaty proposed by the Austrian Government for a Customs Union between Austria and several of the German States. A letter from:Pestb, 12th, in a Bohemian journal, says :—" The missionaries of the English Bible Society, who have been residing here for some time, have recently received orders to quit the Austrain States and to follow an itinerary traced out for them beforehand. They are not allowed to pass through Vienna. As the majority of these missionaries are men with families, they bad asked for some delay, in order to arrange their affairs • but their request has been refused, and they have been ordered to leave by the 115th inst. at the latest." A. letter fram Hamburgh asserts that some of the Danish Ministers do not approve of the treaty relative to the Duchies of Schleswig-Holstein, recently con cluded by Count Bille-Brahe, on the part of Denmark and the principal German powers. A Ministerial crisis was consequently considered probable. The Augsburg Gazette, under date of St. Petersburgb, Ist inst., says—" Letters from Tiflis announce the arrival there on the sth of December, of the Persian Ambassador Extraordinary, Sada Mirza Mohammed Hussein, on his way to the Russian capital. The wishes of the Imperial Cabinet have been thus realised, as it could not pardon the Shah for having first sent an Extraordinary Am bassador to Eogland. The éclat with which the new Ambassador was received at Tiflis proves that much importance was attached to his mission to St. Petersburg!), although it cannot be concealed that English influence appears to predominate at the Court of the shah. The Ambassador was harangued on his arrival by the General-in-Chief of the army of the Caucasus, and by the authorities of the town, who accompanied him to his residence. The Civil Governor sent him, according to the custom of the east, a present of the rarest fruits, and in the evening the Ambassador supped with the Persian Consul at Tiflis." It is stated by the Journal of St. Petersburgh that, in addition to the advantages in the Caucasus recently obtained by the Russians, Hadschi-Murad, one of the principal officers of Schamyl, has made his sub mission to them. ITALY. A letter from Naples, 12th inst., announces the accouchement of the Duchess d'Aumale of a Prince, who received the name of the Duke de Guise. He was to be baptised on the following day, the King of Naples and the Dowager Princess of Salerno standing as sponsors. A letter fro at Bosnia, in the Milan Gazette of the 16th, says that the Turks continue to oppress the rayahs just as they did before the rebellion ; that ex orbitant taxes weigh upon them, and that ten rayahs are enrolled in the army for one Turk. A late instance is related of a'.T urk stabbing a rayah who owed him 14 florins, and being acquitted upon his bare denial of the act. THE INH ABITED HOUSE-DUTY. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) The Government have called for returns of the amount of the . house -duty which w ill b e ra i se d, i n o rder to ascertai:n, no doubt, the difference between it and the window- , tax. Nobility and gentry throughout the country have now set up as great a cry against the new house—duty as Protectionists have done at their loss of the iniquitous corn-laws. It is a" great fact that noblemen would have it believed that their halls and mansions are not worth more to rent than a gentieninn's box, and the gentlemen would have it believe d that their residences are not worth more to rent t aan tradesmen's houses and shops. What will be ate next exhibition "my Lords and Gentlemen" have to make ?At all events they have now, by the estimate they have endeavoured to make of their O'N a residences to let, made out a good case for tenants to demand reduction of their rent roll. When no') lemen and gentlemen set up a low estimate on they own residences they did not dream of laying a foun d ation for tenants to demand reduc tion. Rents must now come down ! MR; HUllth, M.P., AN D THE NEW LEFORM BILL. At the recent :meeting of a Reform committee in Edinburgh the 1 7 c llowiug letter from Mr. Hume was read : " TO THOMAS RUSSELL, ESQ., EDINBURGH. " Dear am favoured with your letter, and am pleased to learn that the Reformers of Edinburgh are about to meol me and to express their opinion of the necessity of 7earlismentary Reform, and also of the extent to which the reform should extend in order to correct the abuses so glaring in our representa tive system. " Lord JohnE;assell, who has intimated his inten- tion of introducing a scheme of Parliamentary Reform in the ensuing selhion, has a right to know the opi nions of such La rge constituencies as that of the metropolis of S otland, and I consider that the Reformers shouli I also be anxious to express their opinion on so im i c octant a subject, that his Lordship may attend to the m or not as he may think requisite. After the expeir ience we have had of the working of the elective srvatem, as amended in 1831-32, I called together Er 0 or 70 of the Reformers in the House of Comme ns in 1849; and, at their request, I submitted to the House of Commons a motion that contained the arca •ndments that, in the opinion of our ,meeting, if adopts by Parliament, would correct all or nearly the wlu de of the abuses that now exist in the elective syst.e n. " I moved ' fo r leave to bring in a Bill to amend the national reprs sentation, by extending the elective franchise, so that: every man of full age, and not sub ject to any ments 1 or legal disability, who shall have been the residenct occupier of a house, or part of a house as a led ger, for twelve months, and shall have been duly rated to the poor of that parish for that time, shall be registered as an elector, and be entitled to , vote for a representative in Par liament.

The payment of taxes to enable electors to give their votes was one of the most prolific causes of bribery and corruption in Westminster, Southwark, and other places, before 1831-32, and ought, therefore, in any change that is made, to be altogether done away with. The assessment, registration, and residence, should be the qualification to distinguish the householder from the vagrant, which is all that ought to be done. The rate end register book and time of residence should be the proof of qualification; and the payment of the taxes or rates for which the householder has been assessed should be left in the same category with all other debts due by the householder. The laws to enable the collector to collect the taxes have equal if not more power than for the collection of other house hold and personal debts; and, therefore, no distinc tion should be made in those debts. "I think, when in Edinburgh,. I stated carefully the distinction I have now more particularly made ; and I hope that the committee for preparing the reso lutions for the meeting will keep that distinction in view. "In conclusion, I would say that the events on the Continent of Europe should induce all classes to concur in improving the liberal institutions of our and implanting country, them on a still more perma nent basis, which has always been and is my object and aim as a reformer._] remain, &c., " JOSEPH HUME. Burnley Hall, Norfolk Jan . 6 " INSTITUTION °F CIVIL ENGINEERS. On Tuesday, (James Meadows Rendell, Esq., Pre sident, in the chair), the paper read was " On the Alluvial Formations, a n d t h e L oca l , Ch anges, o f the , South Eastern Coast of England. Second Section— from Beacby Head to Portland ;" by Mr. J. B. Red man, M. Inst. C. E. Westward of Beachy Head the effects produced by local variations in the beach were traced—the " fulls tailing across the outfall of Cuckmere Haven, and driving the outlet eastward, creating a barrier of beach at Seaford—at an early period the outfall of Newhaven Harbour where an ancient outlet existed on the site of the present entrance, subsequently pro jected eastward by th e p assage f shingle from the westward, until rendered permanent by piers. The recent degradation of the shore along Seaford Bay, from the shingle bei ng arrested to the westward, and the unavailing attempt to stop this movement by blasting the cliff at Seaford Head, were noticed. The waste of the coast at Rottingdean, the modern changes at Brighton, th e great variations in the outlet of Shoreham Harbour, until rendered permanent by artificial works, were examined, as well as the ana logous effects on the coast generally at Pagham, across the entrance of which a spit had been formed, similar to those at the ancient harbours of Romney and Pevensey. The anchorage of the Park, off Selsey Bill, once presumed to have been a portion of the site of a bishop's see, prior to its removal to Chichester, owing to the progressive waste of the shore. At th e b ac k o f th e Isle of Wight, the peculiarities of the land-locked harbours, and the protection afforded by the shore defences to Ports mouth harbour, so little altered in its general outline, since tte ti me of Henry the Eighth, were described, as also the remarkable promontory called Hurst Point, many of the characteristics of which were similar to those of the Chesil Bank, Calshot Point, and other formations, such as a low flat shore to leeward (east ward), and a hi ghly inc li ne d beach seaward, with a tendency to curve round to the northward and east ward, and eventually to inclose a tidal mere, or estuary. The elevation and size of the pebbles in creased towards the extremity of these points, and in places on the sea slope an intermixture of coarse sand an d shingle, which had become solid and homogene ous by age, cropped out through the modern beach. The remaining portion of the coast of Hampshire, and that of Dorsetshire, as far as Weymouth, were then minutely described, and the paper concluded with a particular account of the Chesil Bank, which in magnitude far exceeded all other formations of the kind, and whi c h it wa s considered might be att r ib ute d to the waste of the great West Bay. Numerous diagrams, compiled from ancient and modern maps, toget h er with sections and sketch es o f the variou s alluvial spits along the coast, were exhi bited, and it was shown that all these local accumula tions bad many features in common, and were subject to the same alternating effects of loss and gain, and were the resultant of causes in constant operation, the whole exercising a most important influence on har bour and marine engineering generally. In the discussion which ensued, in which Sir C. Lyell, Sir E. Belcher, Mr. Rennie, Captain O'Brien, Mr. Scott Russell, and the author took part, the pe culiarities of the different parts of the coast were still further described, and the formation of the moles of shingle were attributed,:by some of the speakers, to the action of the tidal currents, but more generally, by others, to the mechanical power of the waves alone, which appeared to account for the apparently anomalous fact that the largest pebbles were always found on the summit and to leeward. Chesil, Hurst, and Dungeness beaches were referred to, as re markable instances of results produced by such causes; and the effect of the severe storm of November, 1824, on the base of Hurst Beach was alluded to. A short account of Mr. Deane's Submarine re searches on the Shambles Shoal, off the Bill of Port land, was resd, describing th a t s h oa l to cons i st entirely of a bed of small broken shells, arranged in parallel shelves, or steps, instead of, as had been supposed, being formed of boulders and pebbles. This o f light shells at depths peculiar , arrangement v arying from four to nine fathoms, must be th e resu l t o f the action g a spot c omparat i ve l y with of the currents forming out motion, and induced curious speculations as to the causes of the accumulation, and the effects that might be produced on similar aggregations by artiti - clot works. The discussion was adjourned until Tuesday, Jan. 27, when, if time permitted, th e f o ll owing paper was announced for reading :—" Description of a Cast Iron Viaduct erected at Manchester, forming part of the Joint Station of the London and North-Western, and Manchester, Sbeffl , -Id, and Lincolnshire Railways," by A.

This was the last examination meeting. The bank rupt was a wine and corn merchant of Upper Thames street. His unsecured debts were 11,575/. ; debts secured, 8181. ; liabilities, 9741. The assots i were, good debts, 22/. ; property, 1911. ; property n the hands of creditors, 1,455/. The profits (in two years) had been 6901.; deficiency at the commence ment of the account, 9201. ; losses, 4,319/. ; interest, 365/.; law costs, 865/. ; trade expenses, 3,027/. ; per sonal expenses, 1,944/. Mr. Linklater, for the assignees, objected to the accuracy of tba accounts ; Mr. Lawrance supported. An adjournment for t wo mont h s was agreed upon. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Jan. 22. (Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.) IN THE MATTER OF lIENRY COHEN. This insolvent, an iron-merchant at Cow-cross and Saffron-hill, was further examined on his application to be discharged. Mr. Dowse opposed for nearly a dozen creditors; Mr. Cooke (Mr. Sargood with him) supported. The case was somewhat remarkable. The insol vent owed 1,6391., and bad some debts owing to him, but no available property for his creditors. The complaint was that he had made away with property and given preferences. At the end of July last he was in a state of insolvency, and since then had ob tained goods from his creditors, which bad either been swept away under an execution for money borrowed from a friend, or paid away to persons for similar loans. In July, Mr. Lee, a tobacconist, at the corner of Fetter-lan e , Holborn, .had sued him, but did not levy his executi on until September, when the property was purchased by a Mr. Emanual. In addition he had paid 3201. to persons for money borrowed. Abraham Goodman, who said he was on the " turf," was paid in August 12014 and a Mr. Scott was paid a sum of 70/. without asking for it. The insolvent had offered his creditors 43. in tho pound, and in this court 2s. 6cl. in the pound was offered and refused. SOM9 of the debts of the creditors had been incurred in August and, September last. Mr. DOWSE complained that there bad been a making away with property, and that the creditors had been despoiled of their goods to pay the friends of the insolvent to a large amount. The case was, if not the worst, certainly one of the worst that bad ever come befbre the Court. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said the observation reminded him of an anecdote of a Learned Judge. When he addressed a prisoner, he told him his was the worst case he had heard, and in one day he told five different prisoners the same thing. Mr. DOWSE recapitulated the evidence which had occupied a portion of two days, and asked on the part of the creditors an exemplary judgment. Mr. CooKE, on the part of the insolvent, contended that there had been no making away with property to Lee, as it had been taken in the due coarse of law. Evidence had been given of the payments the insol vent had made, and it was for the Court to say whether he was justified in snaking such payments. Mr. Commissioner Plimars said he would consider the case and give his judgment next week. Judgment deferred. APPLICATION TO DISMISS A PETITION. At the rising of the Court, Mr. DOWSE applied to dismiss a petition, the insol vent having gone out of prison before adjudication. It wss stated that the Court of Queen's Bench had held that a vesting order was annulled by operation of law where a man was discharged before adju dication. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said he would consult Mr. Commissioner Law on the point ; he had givsn an opinion on the subject. It transpired that an order for hearing had been granted to the sth of February, and the application stood over until after that day. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday John Vaughan, of 16, Nelson-square, Blackfriars-road, was charged before Alderman Sidney with having embezzled various sums of money, the property of his employer. Norman Garston, a provision merchant and leather dresser, stated that in March, 1850, he was induced to enter into the leather-dressing business by the prisoner, and engaged him to manage it at a salary of 21. a week. The business commenced in Ber mondsey, and was afterwards removed to No. 2, Oxford Arms-passage. The prisoner was entrusted to buy, sell, and receive money for him. He received for petty sales the sum of 81. 165., out of which he had paid only 51. is. 6d., leaving a balance of 31 143. 61 yet unaccounted for. He had also received 41. ss. 6d. from a person in Cork-street, Bermondsey, which be had not accounted for. On the 19th of September, 1850, prisoner sold goods to a Mr. T. Haine, 27, Jewry-street, Aldgate, to the amount of 161., and told witness on the 2d of October that he had received only 151., and that the other pound would be paid next time he called. From that time to the present he had not accounted for it. There was a mistake in the account, and on Monday last it was settled, when Mr. Haine paid th e which he had not accounted f or , prisoner 65., A long cross-examination ensued, with a view to show that Vaughan was a p artner to the prosecutor, which entirely failed. A letter f rom t h e pr i soner was put in, where he admitted having received money from petty sales to the extent of 3L 143. 61, for which he had not accounted. The agreement was put in, and it proved that Vaughan was the servant of Garston, at a salary of 21. per week. Som© important witnesses having refused to attend unless summoned, Alderman SIDNEY remanded the prisoner, but ad mitted him to bail, himself in 801. and two sureties in 401, each. MAR YLEBONE. Joseph Kaceborshi, a shabbily attired young man, a Pole, was brought before Mr. Long, for re-exami nation, on the charge of having, on the 24 inst., com mitted a robbery at the mansion of Lord Dudley Stuart, No. 6, Stratford-place. Some particulars connected with the case have already appeared, and it will be remembered that on the day above named the prisoner presented a lett , r at his Lordship's residence, and that for a short pericd he was kit in the hall, he took the opportunity of decamping with a hat, a scarf and a pair of gloves belonging to the Rev. Edward Mortlake, who was dining with Lord Dudley Stuart at the time, and he was at length taken into custody in the Strand, by Horsford, the chief officer of the Mendicity Society, to whom he admitted his guilt, and mid that he had sold the property. Additional evidence was now gone into, and it was shown that the prisoner was an old offender. He had been punished upon a former occasion for a rob bary at his Lordship's, and he had long been known as a begging-letter impostor. The prisoner, who had no answer to make to the charge, was committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. A respectable-looking young countrywoman, who appeared completely brokenhearted, implored Mr. Norton's assistance under the following distressing circumstances : Applicant, anative of Newark, Nottinghamshire, stated that a female neighbour there ha v i ng repre sented to her, some ti me ago, that she had come into some property by the death of a relative, told her that if she would afford her the means of coming to a L n o d nd w o n n ul t d o ne s n e o e m t p h a e n s y olicitor _engaged in the matter, recom pense her for the kindness fortune.man her, w s h h e o n w s o h u e l d c a a m m e ply intopos o se r a io l n ab o o f ur h i e n r g Applicant, who is the wife as so deluded by her profes sions and promises that ' she obtained the consent of her husband to apply their little stock of cash, con sisting of a few pounds saved from his hard earn ings, to the neighbour's benefit, and on Friday last applicant came to town with Iler, where, having been induced to part with all the mofley she possessed, excepting 3s. or 41., her neighbour then abandoned her. Complainant too late discovered that she had been made her neighbour's dupe, and, in the midst of the great metrop olis, without a riend to apply to. She spent three or four days fruitlessly, as may be imagined, in search of her quandam friend, found her last shilling exhausted, aria, having in vain applied at the railway to get back home upon credit, was recommended by some strangers to whom she narrated her misfortunes to apply to a magistrate, and had come to this court. To add to her distress, she had left two young children in the country, and knew not how she should ever reach there again. in tonative r , a a i i: and Downing, one of th e warrant officersof the b y court, was directed to make some inquiries ilby thtepoor he a tr into having reported favourably upon it, he yesterday, Mr. svo the 4 1 r ,a A fa r r n e o , l a d nd ' s direction,p i way home, her thanks at the prospect of regaining which were unbounded. WORSHIP-STREET. Thomas Burn, a iniddle-aged ma n o f respectable appearance, was placed a t the f bar before Mr. Ham-. mill, charged with the following trawl upon Mr. James Clarke, a general dealer, in iccrth.strat, Bethual-green. The prosecutor stated that in the month of October last the prisoner, with whom he had had some slight previous acquaintance, called upon him at his own holm and informed him that he had some excellent , hirns:4, as he had just ro news to tell him affecting ceived an intimation from his solicitors (mentioning the names of an eminent firm in Chancery lane) th" a Chancery suit in which his farni!v had been for a and that bp, long time ergnged had at length'been decid€d in as th,..ir re their favour, the greater T fallen into a large amount of propertv, n Ile • portion of which was situated in North . Devo • property then proceeded to state that a part of the , consisted of it stone quarry and engine-house, with presentative, the usual contents, and, as he did not know how to manage that kind of business, and he knew that witness had been so employed fostnerive he wihe3 to enter lino Su engage islet with Limo ie.: iis superintendence, as he had every conilanee in his in tegrity. Witness at first objected to give up the business he was then engaged in, unless for a cer tainty, and the prisoner, after some bargaining be tween them, agreed to allow him a fixed salary of 300/. per annum for five years positive, and offered to sign a legally drawn up instrument in those terms. He also said that the whale of the law affeirs would he completed by the Ist of the following December, when the whole of the property would he trans ferred to him, and suggested, as conferring a better appearance upon each of them, that the witness should take a much more respectable house than he then held, which he would like somewhere in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel, and promised if he did so to lodge with him until the whole metter was set ticd. Witness mode inquiry about the legal firm the prisoner had mentioned, and finding that they were not only in existence but highly respectable also, he agreed to his last proposition; and the agreement having been drawn up between them and signed, he took another house in Friendly -place, *St , hitehorse street, Stepney, to which the prisoner at once removed all the goods he appeared to possess, consisting of a chest of drawers, bedding, six chairs, and a few mi nor articles; shortly after which the prisoner ordered home two large boxes, in which he urged the witness to pack up all his tools, that he (the prisoner) might send them down to " the works," to he in readiness for immediate operations. Witness, however, would not consent to this unless he went with them himself; and the prisoner then asked him for a trifling advance of money, to be repaid as soon as he came into his own funds. This the witness a/sented to, and from time to time, at short intervals, advanced him altoge ther, money and goods, to the amount of about 101. When it had reached this amount witness was surprised one afternoon at finding the brokers in the prisoner's rooms, from which they swept out what furniture there was, and as soon as they had done so the prisoner went out, and did not return, and, as his absence continued for several days, he at length be came very uneasy and suspicious of having been duped, and determined to make inquiry of the solicitors about the prisoner's affairs, but, on calling upon those gen tlemen, they at once told him that he had been defrauded, as they had not only not been engaged in any such_Chancery proceedings, but new nothing of the prisoner whatever. He then kept up a sharp look-out for the prisoner, but saw nothing more of him until the day preceding, when he accidentally met him in the street and gave him into custody. The witness added, that what he had mentioned was not the whole of the misfortunes he had sustained through the prisoner's duplicity, as he had been actually offered a permanent engagement of a similar character at 2001. per annum, and foolishly refused it, as he considered himself too etrictly bound by the agree ment be had signed to the accused to retreat from it. When - culled upon for his defence, the prisoner merely demurred to the amount of the goods and money the prosecutor had charged him with, which, he said, he did not think could come to so much, but offered no refutation of the other allegations against him ; and Mr. HAMMILL, considering that the money had been obtained from the prosecutor solely by means of false pretences, ordered the prisoner to he committed until that day week for the formal completion of the evidence. FRIDAY EVENING, JANUARY 23, 1852 RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. NEWPORT, ADERGA YENNY, ANT) HERRFORD.—It is stated that the contracts for the whole of the works on V.his line haVe been let to Mr. Rennie, of Newport, and that they are to be formally comnaenctd on Mon day. next.

Dr. Kane, chief surgeon to the late American Arctic expedition, has been giving a series of lectures at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, on the Arctic expedition. We find the following account in a United States paper :- 1 The first lecture was devoted to a general outline of the Arctic regions, in connexion with the recent „ y age cf Sir John Franklin. Its object was evi dently to bring before the community correct views with regard to the fate of the missing expeditions ; and the ensuing lectures will, we understand. discuss at large the probabilities of their rescue. It is en admirable feature of the Smithsonian Institution, founded, as it avowedly is, 'for the benefit of man kind at large,' that its opening course of lectures should be in conjunction with au objeot so calling for our enlarged sympathies. " The topic is full of interest. For the first time we were made aware of the geographical importance of the Arctic Ocean—an ocean whose area extends four and a half millions of square miles, and whose tributary rivers drain a larger country than the Indus, the Ganges, the Mississippi, and the Oronoco com bined. "In discussing the much vexed question of the cui bone of these Arctic expeditions, Dr. Kane, after citing in detail their valuable contributions to general science, observed that the cod fishery of Humphrey Newfound land grew out of the voyage of Sir Gilbert ; the north-west passage of Davis ope ne d the whale fishery of West Greenland, and Frobisher pioneered Hudson to that great bay whi c h now re ' s e re gins the most lucrative fur company o f t h e age.

This seems to us extremely probable. The American expedition, in fact - , drifted helplessly in this very d irection. The y attained a latitude (75 deg. 26 rr,ui.
