I. i 1 ' Since writing this account, and on looking over our brie memoranda, &c. we are reminded of eight or ten specimens of tomtits and minerals. A dark piece of iron pyrites is that with which the natives strike sparks among dry moss, to light their fires. We have also OR our desk a part of. the yolk of a sea bird's egg, as prepared by the Esquimaux to keep for food. It is as hard and transparent as amber, for which it might readily , be mistaken. A model of a canoe ingeniously made by a na tive, and only fourteen inches long, is also among our stores. It does credit to their skill ; but not so much as a female's re ticule (if we may call it) made of ducks' feet curiously disposed in a neat circular shape, and the toes hanging out like tags or timid/. This is a very singalar piece of workmanship, and looks well. Small bottles of matting woven closely, and of an elegant form, are among their manufactures; and the string ing, on threads of fish-fibres, of the teeth of foxes ' wolves, &c.. for female ornaments, does not al wa y s betra y a bad taste, how ever common the materials are. Images of bone, an inch or an inch and a half long, afford no high not i o n of the native talents for carving in ivory—they just so far resemble the human shape as to show they were meant to represent it. One petrifaction of the back 7 bone of a fish is in our calla tipa, and extremely curious. of the Elmlimaux dog is witnessed. These strong and hardy animals draw the country sledges at the rate of five Miles, and mare, an hour. Nor is this performed with a light 'weight at tithed to them. Eight in harness will draw three or four per eons With ease and speed in this manlier. On'one occasion an anchor and stock, Weighing about a ton, was dragged to its destination by 15 or 16 of them ; and, generally spea king, they are fully equal to a load of one hundred weight per dog. They are also bold and vigorous in the chase. With them the Esquimaux hunts 'the great white Polar bear; and sonic of those brought to England carry the scars of ' their prowess in this way. They seize their adversary by his long shaggy hair, and'worry and detain him till their masters come up with their spears to end the conflict. -Those in the ships, 12 or 14 in number, are large creatures of various colours, tan, grey, but mostly black with white spots over the eyes and on the feet and tip of the tail. They are exceed ingly- fierce, and more like wolves than dogs. They do not bark, but snarl, growl, end howl in a savage manner. A. good many died in consequence of the heat, on their way to England ; and though Wednesday was a cold October day, the survivors were panting as if they had exhausted themselves with running. In the }ltch was one dog bred between the Esquimaux dog and a lurcher taken out from this country. She had six female, pips, and the specimen we saw is now a fine powerful animal, and quite tame. It gave a singular proof of its sagacity in the .river : A lighter came alongside with some casksof fresh water, into which it immediately leapt over the side, and ran from cask to cask, trying to get its head into a bung-hole. This being impossible, one of the men good-humouredly drew a bowl full for it, ich it dispatched with evident delight, and ' then begged for another draught. This it also obtained, drank it nearly all, and with signs of gratification and thankfulness made its way back to the ship. On their native soil, however, these ferocious animals are often destroyed by the still more ferocious wolves. The latter hunt in packs, and even drag the dogs from the huts to devour them. Attracted by the scent, they were always prowling about our vessels, and daringly canied off whatever came in their way. Thirteen of them were seen in one pack ; all of which were trapped and slain. It was of these the hungry Esqui maux made their dinners. At one time they bore away a dog from the Fury, in spite of the pursuit Of the men. The animals which may be enumerated besides RTC, -bears, faxes, rein-deer, hares, lemmings, the white ermine, and the natnnot. 'The birds are, the swan, the beautiful king duck, the eider duck, the king-tailed duck, the silver Arctic duck, &c. &e. Oulls of every kind, the Arctic diver, the loom, the red-throat, guillemots, the snow bunting, the ptarmigan ; ravens, snowy owls, and hawks; birds of song, with a short low chirping note, the Siberian lark and the Lapland finch. The insect creation is very limited. There are about site species of flies ; the mosquito, very troublesome, but existing only about one month ; the wild bee, i. c. the large black and not our hive-bee; the spider; the butterfly, a small kind of the golden ; and the white moth. The water teems, as we have stated, with molusca, the food for the enormous whale and other species of fish. There is also another minute creature in extraordinary abundance • we mean the small shrimp, which is known by the name of the sea louse. These performed a very curious office to the naturalists in the expedition, and their usefulness was very drolly disco vered. An officer one day was desirous of preparing a Solan goose for cooking, and in order to reduce its saltness, lie plunged it through an ice-hole into the water : but alas next morning, when the goose was to be drawn up for spitting, nothing but the skeleton appeared. The sea-lice had picked its bones As clean as any anatomist could have scraped them, and thus finely prepared it for any collection of natural his tory which might want inch a specimen I The hint was not lost, .for, after this time, whatever skeletons or bones required polishing, were submitted to the lice operators, and so diligent were they in executing the task co nfided to them, they would eat a sea-horse's head clean in a couple of ni g hts In the Botanical department we have already mentioned the bonus siccus, which has been so kindly presented to us. Hardly one of the plants exceeds two or three inches in height, and the flowers are all small. Yet some of them are very pretty; and they bloom in such profusion as entirely to enamel their wild and drear locality, for a season of two or three months. The most remarkable which we observe among our spe cimens, besides the early blue saxifrage, is the andro meda,, of which the natives make their beds ; and the potentilla or wild tansey, the roots of which they eat.— This we believe is also done in some of the most northern Scottish Isles : it is a very minute plant, not more than two inches in height, and the root not larger than that of a single corn-stalk. The andrometia is wiry, like heath. All the flowers are yellow or blue ; and we find the poppy, one resent bling a cowslip, one with a curious berry seed, several of saxi frag.., grasses, a beautiful bright yellow moss, &c. &c. among our specimens. On the voyage home, the ships touched at Winter Island, and were surprised to find their garden vegetables thriving. Whether the. plants had resown themselves, or sprung again from the roots, could not be ascertained, but the singular fact of salads and peas growing spontaneously on the artic circle was exhibited to the wonder of the visitors. On leaving the Esquimaux, some muskets of small worth were given them ; and one native and his wife were willing to have come to England, but the trouble and uncertainty of restoring them to their own country prevented their Voyage. An axe, and still better a saw, would console them for any disap pointment. ‘Ve have now related, we are persuaded, nearly all the prin cipal occurrences which attended this interesting Expedition. For the want of order and polish, our circumstances will, we trust, obtain pardon; and especially as our information, though hastily put together, and not much extended by descriptions, is very complete in its character, and may be relied upon as accu rately embracing nearly all the leading features of a voyage, than which none ever excited a stronger public feeling. Anxi ous to gratify Oda, we have done our utmost ende avour, and cannot - but hope that it will afford very general satisfaction. • THE ARMY. CANTERBURY, OCT. 2.l.—Lord Edward Somerset yeller day inspected the lath Hussars stationed in this City, they went through the various evolutions in the ablest manner, at which, as well as their general appearance, his Lordship was pleased to express himself in the most flattering terms ; after which the whole of the apartments in the Cavalry Barracks were examined by him. It is a fact not generally known, in allusion to the reported brevet, that the Captains of 18011 (however small the promo tion), must be included in the brevet for Majorities; as of that Rank of the standing of 10(18 there are only twenty-five on full pay, and for the year 1309, fifty-four. The above are inde pendent of the Ordnance and Marines, which for both those years are forty-seven. Within the last two ears, upwards o sixty Cadets have d and left the Royaly Military Academy at Woolwich and are wa iting their turns for commissions in the Ordnance eorps. It now appears to turns o r intention of the Master-General to commission fifty of them, and second them on the di gent corm. Monday morning that fine regiment the North Somerset YeorMinry Cavalry, under the commend' C,ol. Homer, con sisting of 11 troops, viz.—the Bath, 2 Frame, 231 ells, the Shep ton, tbe Batcombe, the Chewton, and West-harptree, the Ston castor', and East-harptree, the Bedminster, and the Keynsham, and Bitton, marched into this city, for 8 days drill. The soldier-like appearance of the men, the excellence of their dis line, and the completeness of their dress and appointments, aregenerally admired.--( Bath Herald.) ROBBERY. —A few evenings since, between the hours of seven and eight, the :louse of Minto r, RivisaToN, in Waterloo-place, was broken from the upper balcony, and a large quantity of wearing apparel stolen. —The robbers were dis. turbid in the midst of their depredations by a noise in a room adjoining, and made their escape through the next house, which is at present en. tenanted.

In our preceding columns we hare given ex tracts from the Paris Papers of Thursday, and a copy of the Supplement of the Madrid Restau rador of the 16th instant. The former announce that the Duke of ANGOULEHE was to arrive at Madrid this day (the 25th),' and that after organizing the Army of Occupation, he is to re• turn to France, —that the linkro's arrival in the Capital will take place on the sth of next month,—that the late Constitutional Ministers, and several distinguished Members 'of the Cortes, have escaped from Cadiz to Gibraltar,—that the Commandant of Ciudad Rodrigo continues willing to surrender the fortress in obedience to the KING'S orders,--that a vessel which has arrived at Marseilles had seen the white flag flying on the walls of Barcelona,—that the ceremony of crowning the newPoeu took place at Rome with much pomp, on the sth inst.,—and that his Catholic Majesty, FERDINAND VII., issued on the 11th, another of his wise, liberal, and paternal Decrees, the object of which is the formation of " a Junta, composed of persons who have followed different studies and careers, but whose principles shall be Christian (Roman Catholic) and Monarchical, who shall be known by their science, their prudence, and their fidelity, who shall proceed henceforth to the examination of all known literary works, and determine those which are proper to form men, who may be worthy sup ports of the Altar, the Throne, and the Coun try." The Decree does not point out what is to be done with the books which the Junta shall adjudge to be unfit for those legiti mate purposes ; but the care of their disposal will doubtless be hereafter committed to the In quisition, which may economically employ them as bonfires for roasting the bodies of their authors. The document contained in the Supplement to the Madrid Restaurador Is a Representa tion from the Royalist Ayuntamiento of Corunna against the formation of Legislative Chambeis, and in favour of the re-establishment of the In quisition! ft is addressed to the Regency, and is dated the 10th of September ; and as its pub lication has been so long delayed, it would seem to have been considered, even by the Regency, as too atrocious for promulgation, anti,] the King's authority should be apparently securely re-established. The Aytuttemiepte de mand that every step towards innovation or im provement shall b e resisted,—that the King shall not be deprived of any one of the prerogatives with which he was invested on. his -ascending the throne,—that the Inquisition and the Order of the Jesuits ,shall be re-established, in order that by the t errors of the one, the impious may be struck dtimb and put to flight, and that the education of youth may be entrusted to the other I Th e ruffians who framed this Representation even, exclaim, in speaking of the moderate party In Syain, which has always been favourable to the c reation of two Chambers, as well as in speaking of the Constitutionalits generally, " Let us repress, then, and, if necessary, extermina to men who are so pertina cious ; and to avoid the contagion, let us re establish the instittlitions which experience has proved to be the best calculated for the pre. servation of religion it !!" Nothing can exceed this disgusting specimen of the union of ferocity, hypocrisy, and fanatinism, in the same minds ! The wretches who coolly propose to imbrue their hands in the blood .of hundreds of thousands of their fellow subjects, speak in the same sentence of their veneration fa r the Christian religion, and are under the Wang's) and almost un accountable delusion, of believing themselves to be influenced by its mild and forbearing spirit ! They speak also of their own cou rage, and of their readiness to shed the last drop of their blood rather than allow themselves to be deprived, by innovations in the Government, of the Catholic Faith which they prize so highly, and which they have just shewn to be so very efficacious an instrument in civilizing and humanising the character of man kind ! Where was their courage, and where their taste for martyrdom, during the ascendancy of the Constitution ? They took due care of their own precious blood in the hour of danger and humili ation ; and have only shewn their eagerness for spilling the blood of others in torrents, after a foreign force has broken down their victims, end delivered them up to the penalties of civil proscription and the blood-stained fury of religious persecution! CITY, Twelve o'Clock.— Consols opened at 63k, at which they are steady, with little doing. I do not hear that an Express has arrived from Paris, although it is reported that the French Rantes have come 90f. 60g. ; but this, of course, wants confirmation. The hostile reports which prevailed yesterday seem to have subsided to day ; in particular that which related to the ex pected return of oar Ambassador from Paris.-- I informed that the Private Secretary of Mr. C►MXIXO left town a few days ago direct for Ma drid, on an important mission. FORtIOW 111.s.ftErr.—Spanish Bonds opened at 1.511/, went clown, to 25H. There is but little doing in any of the Foreign Securities this morning. WINDSOR, OCT. 24.—The weather being re markably fine this morning his MAJIESTY, attended by the usual persons of his suite, rode out in his phaeton, up the Long.walk, in the Greet Park. We are happy to say the King continues in the enjoyment of most excellent health. NAVAL PuomoTO N.-- Lieutenant WILLIAM TOWNSEND DANCE to the rank of Commander.

Mr:CAN:MING, accompanied by his Lady, and daughter, and Lord Wm. flentinek, arrived at Clench's' New London Inn on Saturday evening, where they slept ; and at twelve o'clock on the following day proceeded for Saltram, on a visit to Earl Morley. The arrival of the Right lion. Secretary in this city was greeted by merry peals from the bells of St. Sidewell's, and which was repeated previous to his departure on Sunday morn ing.---(Krefer Flying Post.) EARL OF MARIMAIONT.—A paragraph is taking the round of the papers, stating that a Mr. Jour; Hustle, of thvonshire, from being an honest tradesman; of no distinguished note, has become Earl of illancustowr. We think it right to state that there are several claimants to that title.

AIITIQUITY.--A8 !COMO workmen, on Friday last, were digging a cellar to the fourth house from the Cross, on the east rude of North-street, Chichesttr, they found n solid block of it kind of Portland stone, seven feet from the surface, with the following inscription (4_l; N 10. 8 LVCVI4LUS AMIA NI FII 4 . D. P. The form of this ancient remain is the shape of a double cube, the usual form of the pedestal, or votive altar of the ancients. It is three feet in height, and one foot six inches throughout its cubical form. Lneullus was Lieutenant-General of Britain, and contemporary with Agricola, the latter of whom he sue. ceeded in the Governorship of this country, under the Roman Emperor Dornitan, A.D. 86. itabtaGATE Naw Ctturtpx,—A highly respectable and numerous meeting of the town of Ramsgate was held yester day at the Town Hall, to consider the necessity of providing additional church room for its large and increasing popula tion, but more particularly with reference to the wants of the poorer classes. The resolutions passed without a dissentient voice, that a new church should be built, and money bet. rowed on the credit of the town rates, according to the power* vested in parishes for this purpose by the recent enactment of the Legislature. A subscription was immediately entered into, and upwards 'of 1,1001. were contributed before the meeting had separateil.—We hail with much satisfaction this auspicious commencement of the good work, and doubt not that it will meet on the part of the public with a co-operation commensu• rate with the magnitude and importance of the undertaking.— (KentiA Gawk, Chi. 24.) TIIE THEATRES* DnunT-Carta.---The School for Scandal was performed last night at this Theatre, and the only change in the representation, since our last report, was the appearance of Mr. BROWN in the part of Charles Surface. It is liberal in Mr. ELLISTON, who is so animated a representative of this character, t* give a new caudidate far public favour an opportunity of displaying his talents. Mr. BROWN has so attentively studied the coxcomb.character that it is difficult for hit at once to acquire the manly" ease and freedom of, genteel comedy in general ; but if his deportment was somewhat restrained, he evidently displayed a just conception of the part. Sir Peter, Sir Crabtree, &c. &c. could not but be effective in. the hands of MONDEN, DOWTON, and TxuaY, and the Comedy was well received. There are some sound critical remarks on this Comedy in The Time: of this day; but we think the Critic, judicious as he is, mistaken in supposing that it !m -an immoral tendency altogether. The exception. able passages are merely referred to the charac ters which utter them, and are not to he considered as maxims for the conduct of life. The bad cha. racters are brought to disgrace, and branded with contempt, and the generous feelings and manly• sentiments of the others form the general ten.. dency of the piece. CovENT..GArtnEN.—Mr. YOUNG last night assumed the part of The Stranger, in the Play of that name.—lt is a part in which he hes beea so often seen and admired, that no comment is necessary. This part, however, has also barn performed with ivelhmerited success by Mr. C. KIZAIBLI; and we wish that the good old custom, during the management of G Anarcx,were revived, viz, that the chiercharacters should be occasionally represented by the chief performers. Such a prac. tice excites emulation, and tends to the improve. merit of the Art. We therefore hope to see Mr, You.vo and Mr. C. KRAIGLE alternately appear in characters suitable to their respective talents. Miss LACY was the Mrs. Haller, and her repre sentation of this affecting character was marked by feeling and judgment throughout. In some of the passages • she excited deep interest, ge• floral sympathy, and well dieserved applause. Mr. ItarNett aesin displayed his power of rustic pathos in the A.fterpiece of The Miller': Maid.
