At this festive period of the year the following unrivalled dis coveries for the TOILET are called into increased requisition, namely— FAR.EWELL, OLD YEAR! marked by the revolution of Empires and the convulsion of Kingdoms, by the progress of Arts and Exhibitions of. Industry, fraught m ith events which will be recorded on the historic page, forming an epoch interesting to the Philosopher and the Mechanic — a great step in the progress of civilization, and a bond of amity to the hostile tribes of the human race ! The gathering of all Nations in the chief commercial city in the world, has been an event long to be remembered. The magnificent outlay, amazinc preparations, and highly cultivated taste displayed in the memorable Exhibition, aroused the attention of all classes— . , from the unskilled barbarian to the professor of science—from the beloved Sovereign of our country to the most distant member of her extensive empire : millions visited the metropolis during this display, and the inhabitants of the City received numerous additions to the sources of gratification every day unfolding. Great as was this expo sition of the resources, skill, and industry of all nations, approved and instructive as were its results, E. MOSES and SL qsT, though they had little to learn from the styles and fabrics of dress presented in the World's Show, being connected with all the most celebrated con trihutors, and engaging the same talent in the manufacture of their clothing ; yet th:y had the pleasure of tendering their attention to thousands who visited their Establishments, and favoured them with their support : nor were they less gratified by the spontaneous manner in .which approbation was manifested towards their great business undertakings, all based en such a system as gratifies the . observer while it secures the proper advancement of society by diffusing a correct an d e l eva t e d tas t e . This they assert with the most substantial p roo f t h at t h ey are giving expression to the se , ti mentsofthousp h thousands, who will long remember their business Establish ments as the little na l attractions regarded,or maytheot be City. enti r e T ly li e r e my Glass eei ;b Palacebut t may henceforth E.

For festive occasions they invite an inspection of their elegant fabrics and most modern styles. For Winter W ear they recom mend, with the highest satisfaction, their endless variety of warm and comfortable dress ; they also request the attention of Gentle men whose Sons have returned , rom school to spend their holidays, to pay a visit to their City or %Vest End Establishments, and to select from their varied and immense Stock of Juvenile Dress, which has the three following reQuisites combined—Fashion, Durability, and Cheapness.

LEtiONE.-It is stated that the more influential Reformers of the important parish of St. Marylebone have resolved to postpone the public expression of their opinions as to the removal of Lord Palmerston from the Cabinet until after the meeting of Parliament, when the real cause for the resigna tion of this distinguished nobleman will be made known to the public, and should it appear that the interference of the Northern Powers has led to this result, such a demonstration may be expected as. will show the public- how truly the Reformers of St. Marylebone estimate the blessings and 1 advantages of constitutional freedom. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM TIIE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The dispute between the operative en gineers and their employers is tending to a serious issue, notwithstanding the disclaimer of any coercive intentions on the part of the men. The society of the combined trades has declared, both through its coun cil and in public meeting, that they do not , a nd never did, contemplate the " s trike" which was announced in their names for the 31st of December. The mas ters, however, have now determined that, unless the society recedes from a position which it still th main tains,w they, in their tu rn, will cease work on the ; so that the result, in t he event of a non-agreement, will be the same as if the trades had actually turned out. To qualify the reader for a judgment on this decision, we subjo in a succinct exposition of all the d c i e r r c i u v e m s s a t s n e c l e f s d r i e n e v t o l y l v e f d r 0 . in t Th eh e transa whole et i 0 e ti m s b w r h o i i c l m h e w n e t irecently described as occurring at the factory of Messrs. Hibbert and Platt, of Oldham, in the course proceedings a Mesrs.llibb s e t r i- t o an f coerceddlacstos.uwmemreer. By those into e undertaking s which p u lated, amongst other pro visions, for the abolition of overtime, and the removal, at this present Christmas, of certain unskilled hands from the management of machinery. This undertaking the men still con sider as binding, but Messrs. Hibbert and Co. describe it as nullified by a subsequent breach of contract on the part of the operatives engaged. We cannot profess to doubt that, had things gone as were anticipated, Messrs. Hibbert would either have lost all their hands on the Ist of this month, or have been compelled, as in July last, to accede to the terms pro posed by the men. On that occasion they failed in procuring any aid or co-operation from their fellow employers, and, being unable to stand alone they were fain to give way. Since, that time, however, other firms have received corresponding demands on behalf of the society, and common alarm has at length pro duced common action. When, therefore, the period arrived for Messrs. Hibbert and Co. to make a new decision they found themselves supported by their brethren, and resolved on resistance accordingly. The manufacturing engineers first announced in our columns their intention to discharge all their hands in a body if on the 31st of December last (the day on which Messrs. Hibbert's " agreement" was to come into operation), the hands of any one factory should turn out. Next, they proceeded to make a demand on their own part, and " required the unconditional withdrawal " of the notices served as above mentioned on the several firms. Lastly, as no such withdrawal has been made, they have advertised their intention of closing their works after the expiration of the present week. It thus appears at a first view of these circumstancet that, although the workmen have not only made no advance themselves, but have even disclaimed the project attributed to them, the masters have assumed the aggressive and resolved on the very " strike" which the men declined. But on a further conside ration it will be seen that the intent of the resolution is substantially defensive. The "Amalgamated So ciety" have taken up a position with great subtlety. They own to the designs of abolishing overtime and piecework, and they have issued circulars " advising" the trade to conform itself. Thus, as they disavow far the present any purpose of "striking," and merely put forth a plausible recommendation, they succeed in giving an invidious appearance to rigorous mea sures on the part of their employers. But the em ployers feel that this leaves all the dangers of a " strike" incessantly suspended over their heads. The notices requiring the specified concessions are still out, and any one firm may at any moment find itself in the position of Messrs. Hibbert and Platt last July. The society simply " advises" certain doings. Such " advice" the master cannot receive, and therefore, as soon as the vigilance of the public is lulled, some particular firm will be selected fur ex ample, and will be reduced by a turnout of its hands to the alternative of concession or stoppage. As other firms would, of course, be similarly dealt with, and other demands infallibly follow on the first, the masters see they must make a stand, and they thus provoke a public issue, once for all, between themselves and a combination which, whatever inaction it may assume for the present, has shown itself both prompt to meddle and powerful to coerce. In the serious aspect thus given to the proceedings the justification of the masters mainly depends upon the discoverable cha racter of the society which at such hazards they•have resolved to encounter, and we have bestowed, there fore, some pains on ascertaining the facts of the case. Mr. W. Newton is against any such inquiries. He desires that the discussion may be restricted to the demands, or, to use his own language, the " advice," now set forth, without reference to 'the persons who give it or the circumstances under which it is given. lie says, that overtime and piecework undermine the constitution of the work man, degrade his condition, and neutralise all institu tions designed for his improvement. He, therefore, " on behalf of the society, "advises the discontinuance of these practices, and asks for the support of the public in his attempt. As to what may have taken place " months ago," or between particular work men and their employers, such Matters, he thinks, "serve only to perplex the question." The public will not be of this opinion. It will desire to know what the " Amalgamated Society" is, what are its rules, what its practical operation, and what, as far as they can be inferred, its designs. On these points we can render some assistance to the inquirer. The society, as its designation intimates, is constituted by a junction of the several trades' unions connectied with the engineering profession, many of which, now represented by the "Amalgamated Society," have been in operation for several years past, and under the direction of persons now figuring in the "Executive Council." Originally and ostensibly these constituent associations were framed for the laudable purpose of providing against sickness or destitution, but latterly, and especially since the amalgamation, their action has been directed to purposes of a very different kind. In a " preface" which has been added to the old body of rules it is plainly avowed that the objects of the consolidated society should include the " regulation and organization of labour"—a proposition which we find to mean, that the market of engineering labour should be restricted as much as possible by resisting the introduction of any but " apprenticed" hands, and positively preventing the entry of any apprentice "except in the proportion of one to four journeymen." The employment by any master of any men except such as shall be " legal" according to this test of legality is openly proscribed, and the right of work ing engineers to prevent their fellow-countrymen from working at engineering is described as resem bling that of " the physician who holds his diploma, or the author who is protected by ISiscopyright.' Such according to its own showing is the Amalgamated So ciety. On referring to the acts and publications of the " central committee" of these several trades before their formal amalgamation on the first day of last members l ofers year, We have evidence in abundance of the true the fa ir irly tendency of their proceedings. The sustenance of o disabledtransactions. c a rc r e i ! a y e i a p e n l o e t i e c n e e a e b r l n e pr is with the limitation of the labour market as above mentioned, with the curtailment of personal indepen dence in the matter of overtime and piecework, and with the unconditional maintenance of wages at a certain height, whatever may be the depression of the trade. Working engineers, in fact, were to be "pro tected" by the terrorism of the society in the receipt of full salaries, notwithstanding any abundance of labour or any diminution of profits. If any new hand" was heard of as working at any shop for re duced wages, his dismissal was ordered, or, failing compliance, the other hands were " advised to " with draw." Similarly, if any workmen accepted a re duction of wages on the representation of their em ployers, they were " advised," whatever might be their private satisfaction with the arrangement, to resist, and in case of refusal were publicly denounced. What the true value of Mr. Newton's expression is may be gathered from a circular signed with his own hand, containing the following paragraph :—" We are sorry to have to complain of four or five individuals who re fused to follow our simple advice to leave work when they had completed an ordinary day's time. Of course no further confidence could be placed in them, and from that time they were never treated with, but left to follow the dictates of their own evil wishes. • • • . Otir trade well know how to draw a dis tinction between those who honourably stand up for its interest and support, and those who receive a bribe of wages in opposition to its wishes." This is the "advice" which no doubt awaited Messrs. fib her t and Platt's men on the 31st of December, and these are the "advisers" whose monitions the manu facturers decline to keep in suspense. We can trace very clearly in the d the o documents before us a change in operations of the societies. By the influence of some person or persons their legitimate labour," and we t purpose to the purpose of "organi zing metion" was brou ro h n t gly i suspect that the " amalga out with the express design of so pushing these view s undr the " rule" of Mr. New es ultimately to bring "the destinies of the trad e " New ton and his colleagues. As early y as Feb., 1850, we find in a circular also signed by Mr. W. Newton, a strong recommendation to toe members to proceed beyond " half-rnea,ures,", and instead of waiting for griev ances to be redressed, to distslav a " ' • • betitting'dignity" by taking the initiative themselves. After this expo- sition of the doings of a committee virtually identical with the council of the " Amalgamated Society," the reader will he less surprised at the determination of the masters to come to some definite end with such an antagonist. As to the particular demands on which their stand is taken, they signify but little. In point of fact, as we discerned from the first, the points of overtime and piecework are urged merely as pretexts and on grounds disingenuously stated. Mr. Newton was pleased to talk of the sufferings of the overworked mechanic, but his own book of rules describes the obnoxious practice "as being the cause of much evil through giving to a number the privilege of working more than a legitimate week's time." This is precisely what we said of the argument when it was first produced. The object of the society is to dictate the conditions on which a man may obtain labour, to prescribe the amount which he may perform, and to compel the manufacturers, under any circumstances, to pay certain wages. Even the Southampton men, it will be seen, merely profess not to require the ". immediate" dismissal of " labourers," and Mr. Newton's denial on this point was similarly limited to his " present" intentions. We cannot doubt that the society did intend• to exact the fixed conces sions from Messrs. Hibbert, and afterwards to pro ceed with other firms and further demands. In this they have been foiled, and as their purposes were manifestly inconsistent with the freedom and prospe rity of trade, and not only that, but, as our corre spondenec., shows, of doubtful legality into the bargain, we trust the great body of those intelligent and well paid operatives will take a lesson from the event, and keep for the future a sharp eye on their council and their funds. POST.—When the close of last year's session re leased the Parliament from weary debates, more irk some and laborious in their progress than productive in their results, the Government was left entrusted to a Cabinet which held its place, perhaps, on honour able, but, in a country such as this, certainly on sin gular grounds. Broken up by internal discord, and recoiling from external pressure, this Ministry had fallen to pieces—had failed in an attempt at recon struction much hope of yd a " widened basis"—and stated in its old form, plainly doing finally,oing well, e i though o l, n had whatbite been snhcarareldil rein and avowedly because, at the moment, there was no other that could honestly undertake to do better. Since we are coming so near the day when the Go vernment must face a Parliament raised by the Pre mier's own words to a considerable height of expec tation, guarded by no such safety-valve as the Great Exhibition, it may not be unprofitable to glance back to examine the ma atetritahlesweakness which that event exposed, And so to estimate, in some degree, the Ministerial possibilities of 1852. Ministerialof strength crisis a hd t h o e f s l o After Lord Derby had declined to attempt an Ad ministration—on a second Summons had failed to make one ; after he and Lord John had successively tried in vain to attract to themselves some of those loose and anomalous bodies, called for want of a better name, Peelites, on what ground of strength in one party, on what confession of weakness in the other, was Lord John Russell encouraged to resume his post ? Why was Lord Derby forced conscientiously to decline office ? The great diffi culty, said Lord Derby, was to find a man whom he could trust with the foreign relations of England. This was a necessity which he could not meet. So the Russell Cabinet came in, and stayed in, be cause, in the most important and hazardous depart rlent of the administration of the day, it had the serc 4 ces of a Minister whose great powers even the Government organs are forced to confess without re serve, aed whose great services to Government and to the cou;trY h ave been so inexplicably requited. It is not our o's. nsiness to assign any origin to the —as yet perfectly unexplained extraordinary event- . which, if it do not breeng an entirely new Cabinet before the Parliament, SO S2on to . re-assemble, will h place Lord John Russell and Treasury Be in as strange a dilemma as ever Ministry was called on to face. But it is not explanation only that will be demanded from the Premier and his A,Jeninistra tion. To quote the well - k nown words of a great authority, " The Queen's Government must be c. - ried on." That task will be no light one. There is not one of the vexed questions of past years which the enemies of England will not now hasten to revive and excite, in order to profit by the evident weaLoess of her Cabinet as at present con4tutad. How are ;,,he evident and inevitable difficulties of the timc—foreign and domestic—to be met and dealt with ?By the same policy that has been so successful under Lord Paltnerston, say the journals supposed to speak from authority. A curious admission indeed, and not likely, if' it were true, to render some explanations that must: be given either more easy, or more honourable. But the slightest examination will be enough to expose this pretence of continuing our late wise and powerful foreign policy as a flimsy thing hung up to conceal the truth. It is far less difficult to show reasons for fearing that a course so necessary for England's good must be impossible under present circumstances than to discover grounds for hoping that it may be carried out. If the Cabinet were to stand as it is the very material for such a work would be wanting. We have no inclination to detract from the reputed ability, and no wish to underrate the promise of the young nobleman who at present holds the seals of the Fo reign -office, nor have we ever failed to acknowledge the energy and cleverness of the Premier, but it will be long before either one or the other gain that mas tery over the complicated relations of the great world of polities by which England has held so high a place —respected, honoured, and obeyed in her peaceful arbitration. The 'attempt of these weaker and less experienced Ministers to carry out the wide views which their predecessor had founded on extended knowledge and unmatched experience, would be not unlike some of the experiments in Chinese warfare, such as that of bringing against our ships of war what seemed steamers, in which every form was exactly copied, and nothing in fact was wanting but the motive power. All the outside of our late foreign policy. may be fairly presented to Parliament by the new directors of that important department of the State, but, in the absence of stronger guarantees of independent power than W e have yet seen, we must believe that, were the present state of things continued, England would have to fall back for aid and support in England's course, as to foreign relations, on statesmen who ask no better than to guide where they have been forced by a supe rior ieti4ligence to follow. But it were waste of time to speculate further on a future which every observer kp o ws to be an impossibility. The Cabinet, it is uni versally admitted, will not stand in its present form. It must do now what it tried and failed to do last year. It m ust take in new members from a new party or sec tion, or, according to the jar g on of the day, must ~ w iden its basis.' The materials of administration which it could not gain, or would not submit to, last year, and no other materials, are still in the politic al market ; but now, as then, they are not to be had for nothing. In what single particular are the difficulties re moved which prevented the desired junction of last,year? On what possible grounds can the Russell Cabinet hope to continue a week in office after abandoning the only points on which they were forced to appeal, as being the Government of necessity, to a loyal and patriotic support, which alone carried them through a session easy and smooth compared to the one we are expecting. Those points were the vindication of England's independence from Papal aggression at home, and the peaceful maintenance of her guarantees and obligations abroad. A Government widened by Peelite a dditions would not carry measures which England had been promised, and which she absolutely demanded. Lord ':John Russell's strength in the country rested last session on his large promises and noble sentiments on the subject of the Papal Bill. How will he stand if, to widen his basis, ho consent to let those large promises and noble sentiments end in nothing better than a law for the encouragement of Papal aggression ? With a Ministry that shrinks from enforcing its penalties, it will deserve no better title, and will have no less mischievous effects. Yet there can be no doubt that the sa me motives which made Sir James Graham, and those who more or less think with him, the Pope's humble servants in the past year, would keep them as his useful ministers in the present. The same obstacles that made the Peelite junction and a law to protect the Queen's prerogative incompatible objects, would no less make the same junction incompatible with the honest working of that measure. If this sacrifice of a necessary law be once made, there is an end of all hope for many a day of giving prosperity to Ireland : there is a renewal, and a long one, of the most fruitful source of all her misery, the supremacy of the priesthood over the law. And not in Ireland alone would the ruin of a cowardly retreat be felt. It would be a triumph to the most mischievous and truly re volutionary body in the world—a heavy blow to the honour and consideration of England. In foreign affairs it would be no less impossible for any Cabinet that should admit one grain of the miserable Aber deen narcotic into its composition, to act the bold, in. dependent, and impartial part that carried us proud and scatheless through the troubles of 1848. Such is the dilemma to which we are rapidl y coming. With a change of Cabinet such as is rumoured, we cannot but have a change of policy at home and abroad. In abandoning, as it must do, the materials of support and grounds of confidence on which Lord John has hitherto relied, the party-coloured Government that we are threatened with must look in a new direction for support and concurrence. In the only direction to which the experiments of this probable attempt at Government are likely to lead, we aee nothing but danger, such as we doubt whether any composition or compromise with Democracy that the Premier may devise will be able either to avert or to deal with. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. [PRICE SD. let us set aside all feeling," or words to that effect. " We are going home non-successful. Depend upon it we shall be called upon closely," or words to that effect. "It is now necessary that we should take upon ourselves a certain amount of responsibility, and there must be a little official correspondence pass be tween you and me. You see that I have told you that I am satisfied, after mature consideration, with what has been done by my own officers, and it is now for you to tell me in some way what you think of your work," or words to that effect. Chairman—You state that you received an outline chart from Captain Penny communicating his disco veries. Did you communicate your exploring opera tions to him ? Captain Austin—Directly after my exploring parties came in I sent to Sir John Ross and Captain Penny with a view of informing them of what had been done, and eliciting from them at the earliest opportunity what they had accomplished. The date of my communication was the 4th of July, 1851. Chairman—How soon after that did you receive Captain Penny's outline chart? Captain Austin — I received it on the 11th of August. Captain Austin continued—Captain Penny then, I think, said, " Oh, I have answered that," and turned to the back of the cabin and gave me a letter. I opened the letter and found it was not at all an answer to the questions I put. He gave me the letter which he has now put in. Until I saw that letter here I forgot it, for I never noticed it in any other way than that I have mentioned. The letter was as follows : " Assistance Bay, 11th August, 1851. " Sir,—l have this moment received your dispatch. I beg to state that you have already my chart and expressed opinions, which I again send you in writing ; i. e. that I have not found any trace other wise than a bit of elm, which you have seen, and I can only judge when I see Wellington Channel what course I will then pursue. "My orders are such as would not justify me in passing another winter i❑ the Arctic seas. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, " WILLIAM PENNY. "To Captain Austin, her Majesty's ship Re solute, and in charge of her Majesty s Ex pedition in search of Sir J. Franklin." Captain Austin continued—l took this letter, and I said, "This is not a reply to my question ;" and I believe I put it in my pocket. After reasoning a little Captain Penny became more cool ; and I then took the letter out and said, " Well, I do not mean to say that if the Wellington Channel was opened, and I believe that two days would accomplish it, that I would not proceed up with a steamer and get some soundings, some angles and observations." But I said, " Penny, I will tell you what; if you will tell me, and give me from under your band that you are satisfied with the work you have performed, I will not go up the Wellington Channel. Geography is not our object, and, therefore, I should tell you I am satisfied if you are satisfied ; but if you give me this letter I must write to you again, and it will not be satisfactory before the public that we are altercating," or something to that effect. I am ready to declare that I gave that letter to Captain Penny again. I cannot say he was unwilling to receive it; I do not know. How I was able to maintain myself as an officer and a gentle man under the circumstances I cannot tell. I then said to Captain Penny, "Now reflect, as soon as you give me your answer you may rely upon it that I shall not look over your work, and you will then know what are my plans for the future." I then bade him good bye, ',.and went on board the Felix. Sir John Ross had been kind enough to supply us with five tons of coals, and my anxiety to get them on board kept me there a little longer than I might otherwise have been. On returning to the ship I passed with Captain Ommanney under the stern of the Lady Franklin. Captain Penny was on deck, and, I believe, kindly asked me to come on board. I said, "No, I thank you." Several of our officers were on board, and I think I said to Captain Ommaney, " All I want is his reply, and if we go on board it will only delay us. I have reasoned with him, and the sooner I get on board the better." I said to Captain Ommanney, " You must remain on board, because I shall have an answer to that letter, for till that comes not a word can I say as to what we are going to do." I must refer to the notes I made at that time. I waited up until midnight for Captain Penny's answer. Being much fagged, I went to bed. Captain Om manney was on board the Resolute until midnight, when I requested him to go to his ship. Previous to going to bed I wrote a note to Captain Penny, most kindly, for an official answer. The substance is this :—First of all, the note was very kindly written, appealing to Captain Penny as an active and ener getic Arctic navigator for a reply to my official letter. I impressed upon his mind that the expedition I wes charged with was lying in that bay in the midst of straggling ice. At that time I did not know but that I was going to remain out another winter. Up to that moment I meant to say that not a soul had any reason to expect that he was to go to England before I had a satisfactory answer from Captain Penny; therefore it was a very anxious moment for me from the time I came on board the Resolute. At two o'clock on the morning of the 12th of August, 1851, Captain Penny's reply came on board ; at that time I was really too tired to get up and close my report. The following is Captain Penny's reply : " Assistance Bay, Aug. 11, 1851. " Sir, —Your question is easily answered. My opinion is, Wellington Channel requires no further search; all has been done in the power of man to ac complish, and no trace has been found. What else can be done ? " I have the honour to be, your most obedien servant, " WM. PENNY." Captain Austin continued—Shortly after the receipt of this letter, the Lady Franklin and Sophia were making preparations to move. I sent a letter to Cap tain Penny, dated " Her Majesty's ship , Resolute , off Captain Penny's winter quarters, 12th April, 1851:' It was as follows : " Sir,—l beg leave to acknowledge the receipt of your letter making known to me the result of the search in Wellington Strait by the expedition under your charge. I have now to inform you that I do not consider it necessary to prosecute (even if practi cable) a further search in that direction, with the ex pedition under my orders. It is now my i n t e ntion to proceed to attempt the search of Jone*'s Sound. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " Your obedient servant , • Tsile;ter t by Mr. " HORATIO Captain Austin continued—On on board I sent also my compliments, sending t off ik er M‘Dougai;, the second master, n n wrote wlrwa closed the o tow re the brigs out the steamers. him to him privately, telling an offer to tow him in the Felix. Sir John oss closed, and Sophia and be was taken in t ow, and pro ceeded, the Lady Franklin having previously sailed out. W e proceeded to the eastward, the wind being very light. Vtie came up with the Lady Franklin a n d S op hi e , and I went on b oard the Lady Franklin with my report, and an outline_ chart accompanying it, show ing the proceedings of the expedition under my care. Sir E. Parry—ln Captain Penny's letter to you of the 11th of August, 1851, and put into your hands that day by him in the cabin of the Lady Franklin, be s peaks of his chart, and expressed opinions, which be again sends you in writing ; now I want to know vibat opinions those were that Captain Penny had be fore expressed to you ? C a pt a i n Austin—l suppose it refers to Captain Penny's letter of the 4 th of August, 1851, addressed to me, and received on the 11th of August. Sir E. Parry— i Previously to Captain Penny put ting that letter into your hands on the 11th of Au gust, had he ever expressed an opinion to you that you ought to go up Wellington Strait? Captain Austin—Never, to the best of my belief. Sir E. Parry—Can you conjecture what Captain Penny meant by the following expression in his letter of the 11th of August, put into your hand— " and I only can judge when I see Wellington Chan nel what course I will then pursue?" Captain Aus tin—No, not any more than I can of much more that passed in. conversation between Captain Penny and myself. Captain Austin continued—l came up to the Lady Franklin and Sophia, and went on board with my chart and report to the Secretary of the Admiralty. Captain Ommanney joined. I was most guarded in what I said and did. Captain Penny was quite dis satisfied. He said something about—had I not heard or understood from some of my officers that we bad not got clear, meaning of our frozen-in. position, he intended waiting until the 13th of August for us. I replied, " Certainly it had never been intimated to me ; but I was quite satisfied he would have been ready to help us if he could." In the presence Captain Ommanney I said " Pe nn y . I suppose it would be a bad compliment to ask you if we can give,. you anything," meaning provisions or any of that sort, " although I cannot say we are off, in going home." He expressed something in reply, which I do not recollect ; but his manner vvas so un pleasant that I cannot recollect what he said, A_ ft r trying to be civil, and getting his letter, I took my leave.

You say that those parts having been examined by such and such parties, nothing more could be done in that direction ? Captain Austin continued—All returned unhappily without traces of the missing ex pedition. Having maturely weighed and considered the matter I now felt that all had been done that could be done to the westward and south -westward of the Wellington Channel. I must say I became very anxious at this :period to be able to make known generally what was to be the plan of future operations. At the earliest moment I sent my tract chart to Cap tain Penny who was away, and to Sir John Ross. During this period I had occupied my mind with plans for going overland in case of hearing from par ties coming in from Captain Penny, so that in the event of anything being found I might send a party across the land at the head of the bay ; my calculations were that, taking the best people I bad, I must devote three weeks in order to do it. I mean to say I would send across the head of the bay surveyed by Mr. M'Dougall. I had reports, and I suppose that I must have something from Sir John Ross, or some of the parties con nected with Captain Penny, who had gone to the westward. Perhaps I had better tell exactly what I felt. ir it had not been for delicacy in the one case, and having a doubt about land travelling at the time of the year, I might have made an attempt to cross there; but that would have been mere hydrography, and would not have accomplished my object. I thought, also, that it would be going over ground my colleague was doing, and that I had better wait till he returned, having the full determination in my mind that I would never allow a word to pass by which it might be inferred that I had any intention of return ing to England. It was well known that I had deter mined on waiting till Captain Penny returned. Captain Penny returned about 25th July, and I re ceived a note from him but no official letter. That note, with other things which occurred to me, fully impressed me that the search had been carefully made, that no traces had been found, and that so far as the sea was spoken of it was not a navigable sea. The note I received from Captain Penny was as follows : " August 4, 1851. "Dear Sir—Your first note, written on board the Lady Franklin, escaped my notice by some overlook for four days ; the language it conveys is sufficient apology to any generous-minded man, however much his feeling had been injured by expressions and marked neglect. " And believe me, Austin, when I state it, that Penny has been all his lifetime accustomed to speak the language of the heart. " You, as well as myself, have very great reason to be thankful to our Maker for His manifold mercy to us and all those under our command for the high state of health they enjoy after an arduous and prolonged duties (sic). " The result of my boat expedition as far as the ,fate of Sir John and the brave men under his com mand are satisfactory, for what other conclusion could we arrive at after visiting Duck Island and Bird head lands with hundreds of nests, and no trace, —likewise water about these islands for two months, and latterly, beyond the pack ice nothing but water as far as the eye could reach from the highest mountain ; but the fearful rate the tide runs (not less than six knots) through the sounds that divide the channel renders it dangerous even for a boat, much more so a ship, unless clear of ice, which from the appearance of the ice here will not be clear this season. " The conclusion I have arrived at after what has passed under my observation is to return to England after I have had an interview with you. " Poor Lady Franklin, and the friends of those brave men whose fate will ever remain in oblivion:! Was it not a strong conviction of my sense of duty, tt very thought of meeting any one of them with out intelligence would almost tempt me to another winter.-- - I remain yours sincerely, (Signed) WILLIAM PENNY. n C a ptain H. T. Austin." Eado:sement in pencil. "Received by Captain? St. Sophia, the 11th August, Monday, at anchorage of Penny's winter quarters, just before anchoring." Chairman—You received that letter on the 11th of August? Captain Austin—Yes; it was received by me on the 11th of August. Sir E. Parry—Was that endorsement placed on it at the time? Captain Austin—Yes; it was not touched from that time until it was taken out on our return. Sir E. Parry—How do you account for the delay between the 4th of August, which date the letter bears, and the 11th of August, when you received it ? Captain Austin—My impression why I did not re ceive the letter for a week was, that the party in trusted with it could not reach me. There was an attempt on the part of Captain Penny to reach me at Griffith Island, although an engineer came from Captain Penny's vessel after his return, and also after that again the Esquimaux, Adam Beck, came over the ice. At the same time my first lieutenant, who was on board Captain Penny's ship, did not come, and there was therefore considerable difficulty—that is to say, that the first lieutenant of the Resolute was on board the Lady Franklin when Captain Penny returned from his second trip. On the 11th of August I came to the winter quarters of Captain Peany ; Captain Stewart was on board. I cannot trust my memory for details of my visit. Captain Stewart came on board. My belief is, he gave me that private note and also an official letter from Captain Penny with an outline chart. Why I say I believe this is that it will be iaefcre you on record, and therefore that will determine it. It will be pro duced. This is the letter : " Her Majesty's brig, Lady Franklin, Assistance Bay, August 4, 1851. " Sir,—l forward an outline of search by the expe dition under my , charge. There are no traces of her Majesty's ships Erebus and Terror further than a bit of English elm. As soon as I am at liberty I will come to Griffith Island and wait an interview. " I have the honour to he, " Your most obedient servant, " WILLIAM PENNY. " Te Captain Horatio T. Austin, C. 8., commanding her Majesty's ship Resolute and the Expedition to the Arctic." Endorsement.—" Received on the 11th of August, dated the 4th of August, 1851, on the arrival of the Resolute, at the winter quarters of Captain Penny's expedition." Captain Austin continued —Shortly after Captain Stewart delivered this letter Commander Phillips and the first lieutenant of the Resolute came on board. Sir John Ross came on board ; that is to say, Sir John Ross and Captain Penny were in my cabin of the Resolute together, as far as I believe ; that is my impression. There was conversation going on between Captain Penny and myself and Sir John Ross, all connected with the search of the Wel lington Channel, all connected with the service which was at our hearts, I believe. Captain Ommanney came on board. My impression is, that I could not reason with Captain Penny. I could not get any thing that was satisfactory.

Mr. te;s i Lewis was the clerk of the Resolute. I cannot at this moment remember the hour, that is, whether Captain Ommanney and I dined first, but my im pression is that Captain Ommanney and I dined to gether from about three to four o'clock. My dinner Captain Austin continued—M y hour was generally three ; but of course in this sue vice I took it when I required it, to sustain me. Dinner being over, it was arranged that we should go and pay a complimentary visit - to Captain Penny and Sir John Ross. We proceeded on board the Lady Franklin, and in the cabin were assembled Captain Penny, Captain - SteWart,CaptaidOmmanney , and myself. I said to Captain Penny, "Now Penny Captain Penny gave the day before Yesterday ? Cap . )Austin—Yes ; I was present during his examination. Chairman—Captain Beechey asked Captain Penny whether, on the 11th of August, he said to you " Go trp-there (Wellington Channel), and do the cause some service ?" Referring to Caprain Penny's examina tion, will you admit that that conversation passed between him and you, as there stated, and that he asked you for a steamer to go up the Wellington Channel, and that the last words be used to you were, " Go up there, and do the cause some service ?" Captain Austin—No such thing, or anything like it, was ever expressed. Chairman—Was anybody present at the time you were conversing with Captain Penny on that occa sion ? .Captain Austin—Yes, Captain Ommanney and my own boat's crew, but none of Captain Penny's officers, of whom I was anxious to take leave. Sir E. Parry—Captain Penny in his evidence has made use of these words :—" The last thing I said was—go up into Wellingson Channel and you will do good service to the cause." This was on the morning of the 15th of August. Do you admit that Captain Penny said those words to you ? Captain Austin—l declare he did not do so. Captain Beecbey—Captain Penny states also— " On the 11 th of August I told Captain Austin that the Strait ought to be better examined, meaning Wel lington Channel, and that if he 'would give me a steamer I would go up there." Did he say that ? Captain Austin—No, never. Captain Austin continued—l received a sealed letter from Captain Penny, for transmission, ad dressed, I believe, to the Secretary of the Admiralty. I took my leave, and towed Sir John Ross up to Beechey Island. I went on with Sir John Ross, taking some supplies for him. I wished to keep him i n t o w, but he desired particularlv.to go on in the neighbourhood of Beechey Island. I then cast him off, and proceeded. ALLFGED CASE OF CARD CREATING AT BRIGHTON. In consequence of the decision of Mr. Justi ce E r i e in this case, at Chambers, on Friday, as reported i n The Sun of. Saturday, a notice was served upon Mr. Sill, the attorney for the prosecution, on Friday evening, calling upon him to show cause why the prosecutor should not substitute Mr. Dunn as his solicitor, and the parties attended, in consequence, before Mr. Justice Erle, at Chambers, on Saturday. Before the business was proceeded with Mr. Dunn made an objection to the presence of a roper ter. After a few words from Mr. Sill, in support of the reporter's right to be present, Mr. Justice Erle overruled the objection, simply observing that the court was an open one. Mr. Sill then proceeded to say that he appeared to show cause against t the summons which had been taken out for a change of attorney on the part of Mr. Hemp, the prosecutor in this case. Mr. Dunn observed that it was a matter of course. Mr. Sill said if it were a matter of course, the summons would have been endorsed as a matter of course. He wished, however, to call the attention of his Lordship to the proceedings of the previous day. Mr. Dunn submitted that a gentleman bad a per fect right to change his attorney. All that Mr. Sill was entitled to was payment of his costs. He had already received several sums, and if he could show that more was owing, he was entitled to be paid, but farther he had no right to oppose. Mr. Sill said he must ask the gentleman who was present to show some authority for the demand he was making. He (Mr. Sill) was prepared to show that the whole affair was a fraud. Mr. Dunn wanted to know whether the observation applied to him. He had a letter from Mr. Hamp. Mr. Sill said he did not come there to make per sonal observations. He had stated broadly that which he was prepared to prove, that the present was an ap plication of the defendants themselves, and he there fore asked Mr. Dunn to give proper support to his application. He (Mr. Sill) would undertake to prove that Mr. Dunn was nominated by the defendant Broome himself. Mr. Dunn asserted that Mr. Sill's statement was entirely erroneous. He had received his instructions from the prosecutor, Mr. Hamp, and he had no con nexion, directly or indirectly, with the defendants. The application stated that the prosecutor was dissa tisfied with Mr. Sill. Mr. Justice Erle—The prosecutor has the power to choose his attorney, and the interests of public justice give the magistrates the power to appoint a prosecutor, and if they think the witnesses will not be forthcoming they can commit them to prison for safe keeping till the trial. The employment of an attorney is a simple contract, and a charge can be made if the documents produced be genuine. Mr. Sill—That is what I dispute. Mr. Dunn—Do you not admit Mr. Ramp's letter ? Mr. Sill—l admit nothing. Mr. Justice Erle—lf the facts be disputed, the ap plication must be made upon affidavit, and that might be done in the outer room in less time than this dis ctusion has occupied. Mr. Sill said he should most likely have affidavits to make in reply, and he wished to state to his Lord ship that the application to the magistrates, at Brighton, to appoint a new prosecutor, and to which he had alluded on the day before (Friday), would be made at Brighton on Monday (this day). After some further discussion, Mr. Justice Erle decided that there must be an other application for the change of attorney founded upon affidavits, and that Mr. Sill, the present attor ney to the prosecutor, should have time to put in affidavits in reply. The parties then retired. bOLLISION ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. A collision, which might have - been attended with ver y serious consequences, occurred on this line of railway at an early hour on Saturday morning, be tween the Chippenham and Wootton Bassett stations. The circumstances under which the accident took be i ng somewhat later than usual, was place may be briefly described as follows :--The up s tation master, in order to allow the goods train, which arrived at Chippenham shortly The . mad was due Alt, thel2 408tAat.iD,I,n, after midnight, detained by the up mail to pass. but as it had not arrived at 1.15 t a o il th be e in d master felt it dangerous to delay the luggage train 35 minutes overdue, he being 35 of thegoods train ' to gavelongo instructions s a t n rt i d c the ti r make the best of his way to Swindon. Fifteen mi nutes elapsed after the departure of the goods train before the mail reached Chippenham, and this being considered more than sufficient time to allow the lugga ge train to get far in advance, the driver of the mail does not appear to have been cautioned on the subject. After the goods train left Chippenham a heavy fo r . came on, and the load being heavy, end the rails very slippery, the engine made but slow pro gress, and at the foot of Wootton Bassett incline, about fiv e miles from Chippenham, the train became almost stationary. At this moment the mail came up, and the fog preventing the driver from beak).- they 6 , danger signals of the engine on the tail of the train, the mail dashed into the rear of the goods train with great force, crushing the guard's break and a horsebox, and blocking up the line for some distance. The guard of the goods train, perceiving the danger, jumped out of his box, and escaped un hurt. The stoker of the mail train also escaped, bal the driver, a man named Ellis, received very severe injuries about the head and face, and it is considered doubtful whether he will recover. The effect on the passengers in the mail train was less serious than might have been anticipated, and several parties who happened to be asleep at the time were not even roused by the collision. The portion of the railway where the accident occurred being some miles dis tant from any place where assistance could be pro cured considerable delay took place in clearing the line. The first thing that could be done was to un couple the goods truck, which were not much injured, from the clibris of the horse-box and the g uard's break; and this having been accomplished, the driver took them on to Swindon, whence a pilot engine, w ith a large body of men, were sen t down to the scene of the accident. The horse-box hav i n g become fixed firmly between the rails of thearp-line, it was found necessary to send the mail back to ChiPPen down line. ham, and thence on to Swindon by the The arrival of the mail in town was thus delayed four or five hours, and letters from the west of Eng land were not delivered, in town on Saturday until after mid day. The proximate cause of the accident is said to be the delay of the wail on t he South Devon Railway. _.-...--aa•-ar-a-•-• t (!ptirweuserissiantn.gre it imparts, the well-arranged curl, In dressing the hair, the _,, The countenance is rendered PERSONAL GRACz.• nothing braidedca can additionally pleasing bY land's Macassar Oil, on either natural plait, or o t r he th e e fr fl ec o t w o i f n E g it so admirably soft that it will or artificial hairtrend producing beautifully flowing curls, and, lie in any direction, rendering the head dressby the transcendent e fil . e n iencyin Improving and beautifying the truly enchanting.

DESTRUCTION OF BANK OF ENGLAND NOTES --- About dusk on • Saturday evening much excitement was created in the vicinity of the Bank of England by an appa rent outbreak of fire is that establishment. A lurid glara from the centre of the building illuminated the whole of that part of the City, and being visible from the various bridges across the Thames, caused a general alarm t o be given to the brigade stations throughout the metropolis. Engines from all parts hastened into the City, when, on reaching the Bank of England, the firemen learnt that the authorities were \" burning the old Bank-notes ;" hence the reflection in the air. As the flame continued with little intermission fur nearly two hours, the number of flimsiesconsumed must have been immense. They had been returned to the Bank during the last twelve months. 5 of .lOod, .'. f the ife of 3losa' JOL /1 Kona ar o f 'EscP, rdee n ' !Jill' ),. f 030
