• lence, and would have succeeded in killing the man on the spot had not the exclamation of the crowd on perceiving the savage attack fortunately brought to the place con stable Fisher, A 88, and Sergeant Bell, who, after a des perate struggle, secured the prisoner. Mr. Norman here exhibited the weapon used by the pri soner, than which a more formidable one could not be well conceived. It was the blade of a razor put into a piece of horn, of about six inches long, and corded in the centre, so as to render the hold more secure ; and the blade part was deeply stained with blood. This instrument, as well as a sharp-pointed case•knife, the prisoner carried in scabbards in his pockets, for some purpose or other of which he gave no explanation. Norman stated that, when brought to the station-house, the prisoner was so violent that he was obliged to order his being handcuffed, to prevent him doing further mischief ; and, in fact, it was with great difficulty that they were enabled to controul him. The prisoner, who offered nothing in his defence was re manded. DIABOLICAL OPERATION ON A FEMALE BY A QUACK DOCTOR. On Wedneiday evening last a young woman, named Mary Ann Rapson, was discovered in a state of insensi bility in Plumtree-street. It was at first considered that she was in a state of intoxication, but on her being removed to her lodgings, at No. 6, in the above street, symptoms came on that convinced those present that she was suffer ing from the effects of poison. On the arrival of a sur geon, such was found to be the case. and two phials, " Laudanum--poison," were found in her bosom. She was conveyed to the University College Hospital, in Gower Street, Bedford Square, where every means were adopted to counteract the effects of the poison, but without effect ; the unfortunate young creature expiring about eleven o'clock the same night. Previous to her dissolution, she came into full possession of her faculties and speech, when she made to those about her disclo sures of a very heinous nature. She confessed having purchased two phials of laudanum, for the purpose of de stroying herself and one of her illegitimate children, a fine little girl, about six years old, but on her attempting to ad minister the poison to the poor child she rejected it, on ac count of its unpleasant taste. This part of the mother's confession was borne out by the child, who states that after her mother drank something out of a cup she gave her some, but on tasting it she refused to drink it, as being disagreeable and bitter. The child's statement, as to sinister motives of the mother, is telly credited—the more particu larly as the front of her apparel exhibited dark stains, evi dently from the effects of some dark liquid being spilt over them. The guilty and illfated young woman acknowledged that she was driren to the double crime of infanticide and sui cide from her forlorn destitute condition and bitter remorse of conscience, she having been prevailed upon by the man by whom she became enceinte to ;so to a quack doctor resident in Webber-row, St. George's-fields, by whom she was sub jecsed to an operation, which produced abortion—the quack kceping possession of the male fsetns which lie had ex traitted. Subsequent to this abominable offence the father et the infant thus sacrificed, and who is a married man and a member of a religious elogregation, deserted her. The consequence was, that the unhappy and guilty young crea ture, with her two illegitimate children, were reduced to great distress, which, combined with severe remorse of con seience for the unnatural and atroci-ins act she had com mitted, drove her to a state of distraction, in which she to the determination of destroying lic-rself and child ; hot :a the latter her intentiaa was happily fr. strated in the marn:er already stated. Tee miscreant quack, who, in coniu.!ction with the unnatural father caused the destruction of the unborn innocent, took a fee of fifteen shillings from the young woman for his diabolical services. It has been ascer tained that by similar practices ho makes an ample compe . tence. The unfortunate girl, the subject of the present tra”.ieal affair, has passed through all tile vieissiiu les of a w, , man of pleasure, She is very re:Tectabiy connected, al!hough, from her mode of life, she has been an alien to her family. At the age of nineteen she became acquainted with a sporting gentleman of celebrity at Bri,Aton, who effected her ruin.

RETURN OF CAPTAIN BACK• CAPTAIN BACK'S OWN NARRATIVE OF TIIC VOYAGE. Iler Majesty's ship Terror, strengthcoed and prepared in every way for encountering the ice, sailed from England in June, I 536, with the intention of proceeding to Repulse Pay, or Wager Inlet, on the north-western shore of Had so Bay; thence an exploring party was to cross over the a pposed isthmus to the Arctic Sea, with the hope of oasting along and determining the outline of the northern bores of America. The following letter will show that !be physical obstacles which opposed themselves to this undertaking were utterly insurmountable : "TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. " Sir,—As the expedition from whist' I have just re turned originated with the Geographical Society, and, at its recommendation, was most liberally carried into effect be his Majesty's Government, I feel it incumbent on me to offer to the Society an outline of the principal events which occurred from the time of my quitting England, in June, 18:36, till my return to Lough Swilly, on the night of Sun day, the 3d instant. In a statement of this description it would be impos sible to enter into the detail of all the extraordinary, and I may say unparralleled circumstances, which have marked the course of the whole of our proceedings. Sech details I trust I may shortly be enabled to offer to the society and to the public in a more complete form ; but, in the mean tone, it is due to those who took so warm an interest in the expedition, to furnish them with an authentic narrative of the voyage, which must, however, necessarily be very brief, and will consist of extracts selected from my daily Journal, as better calculated to convey a correct impres sion of the singular occurrences, to which we were wit- " June 23.—We took our departure from Papa Westra, and steered across the Atlantic ; the weather stormy. " July 29.—We fell in with the ice, and on the follow ing day we first saw the coast of Labrador, near Cape Chudleigh. " Aug. I.—Passed through Hudson's Straits, and on the sth saw some of the Company's ships, apparently beset with ice, off the North Bluff. By keeping close in with the land we got ahead and lost sight of them, and on the following day we were ourselves hampered. The ice was compact, and covered the horizon towards Hudson's Bay, as far as could be seen from the mast-head, while to the north-west it presented a favourable appearance. I had, therefore, no hesitation in proceeding in that direction. " Aug. 16.—We got a run of 40 miles from Trinity Isles, yet did not get sight of Baffin Island till the 23d, when we also saw Southampton Island to the south-west. _ _ " Two days of westerly wind at this crisis would have enabled us to reach Repulse Bay ; but easterly winds pre vailed, and packed the whole body of ice in such a man ner, that all hope of retracing our steps, to pass to the southward of Southampton Island, and up Sir Thomas Roe's Welcome, was out of the question. On the 29th we were drifted by the ice to lat. 65 deg. 50 min. N, long. 82 deg. 7 min. W. This was our ex treme north point, and here we were within 40 miles of Winter Island, where the Hecla and Fury passed the winter of 1821-2. By dint of boring, the ship was worked to the southward towards Southampton Island, whither we were attracted by the flattering appearance of lanes of open water. " Sept. 4.—We were only 136 miles from Repulse Bay, and two days of strong breeze would have led through Frozen Strait to our destination. During the next fort night we continued drifting slowly to the westward, passed within three miles of Cape Comfort—a bluff headland, ris ing about 1,000 feet above the sea. " Sept. 20.—We were s,riously nipped by the ice, so much so as to start some of the ship's fastenings. On the 22d, being within 25 miles of the Duke of y e ; k's Bay, we tried to cut through the ice, but found it impracticable, as it closed immediately. From this date, the ship was no longer under our own guidance, but, being closely beset, was carried to and fro according to the wind and tide. s opt. .a t i_We were drifted into lat. 65 deg. 48m., long. S 3 doz. o ur extreme western point, a n d 90 wiles from Repulse Bay. • Sept. 57.—A rush of ice from the eastward lifted the ship's stern seven feet and a halt cut of the water ; con _ stint easterly vllnds. " Oct. 9.—A clear channel in-shorn as far as Cape By lot, for the Apace of 12 hours, and cgain on the 27th ; but w e were so completely frcz'n up, ive could not take advantage of it, although to effect so important an ob j ect the ice -saws, axes, and every other implement so liberally supplied by Government, were put in requisition, and ail THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1837. yar , ls from the gig the pistol was fired off. ceordieg to tile direction he put his arm out I should think it was quite impossible for him to have shot the man. I did not hear any one call out after the pistol bad been fired. Mr. Cooper was driving, but I had the whip in my hand ; we then went home and had supper ; we did not hear of the accident until 12 o'clock on Sunday morning, when we were taken into custody. In his cross-examination Thirkettle said that the pistol was double-barrelled, and that Cooper Fred off the other barrel nearer to Norwich on his way home ; Cooper was rather intoxicated ; he declared he never said anything con trary to a man named Willis, or any body else. The inquest was then adjourned until Wednesday, and the witness Thirkettle was ordered to be detained by the constable, and not to be allowed to communicate with any other person. At the next sitting of the inquest, the wo man called by the last witness Symonds, but who gave her name Hannah Greenfield, confirmed Thirkettle's evidence and stated that Mr. Cooper drank spirits and water at her house, leaving it rather intoxicated. George Ford, of Sprowston, was walking on the Nor wich road on Saturday night, about twenty minutes before nine o cock ; saw two persons in a gig, who appeared to be drunk, as they drove from the road to the footpath in a most uneven manner ; witness got up against Mr. Cozen 's hedge to get out of the way of the gig, when the gentle man in the gig pointed a pistol at him, and fired it off. The ball whizzed past him, but did not hit him. He was not more than four yards from the gig, when they fired at him. W. C. Brittain, landlord of the inn at St. Miles's, de posed to Thirkettle having given him a statement of the accident, differing in some trifling details from that related to the Jury. The following deposition of the deceased, taken lefore his death, was put in : " I was returning from North Walsham on Saturday night, and went into the George Inn, at Catton, for a few minutes. On going along the road two persons in a gig overtook me—one of them said, How are you, old boy ?' I answered, Very well.' Only one spoke. I did not know the voice. They went a little way on and then fired. I felt myself shot, and cried out Help, help, lam shot,' but they drove on the faster. They drove very swiftly. A man in a fustian coat helped me to the George. I mare no suspicion of the individuals who did this. I have no idea of the motive with which they did it. I should think it could not be front sport. I should think, by the voice, that the person might be in liquor. The men were dressed in dark-coloured clothes. The one sat higher than the other. I was not looking at them at the time they fired. Ido not recollect that I passed a man on foot. 27.4AE,GATE- : 1 7 Ri l 4.:5; The Thanet Race Ball, under the patronage of the Stewards of the Races, C. W. L. Keene, Esq., and J. Gaskell, Esq., yesterday evening, at Bettison's Library, was of a most brilliant description, being attended by the princi pal families of the town and neighbourhood. The Library, which was divested of its usual furniture, was elegantly decorated for the occasion. The central columns were tastefully encircled with wreaths of flowers, and the spacious front of the book department entirely concealed by rose colour and white drapery. Shrubs and exotics (among which coloured lamps were interspersed) were arranged, with excellent taste, in various parts of the room ; wile stars and festoons of coloured lamps added to the brilliancy of the chandeliers, and threw a bright lustre over the nume rous assemblage of beauty and fashion. Prince's excellent quadrille band was in attendance, and gave the greatest satisfaction. Colonel Clark, M. C., of Ramsgate, most handsomely volunteered his services for the occasion. The dancing was kept up with great spirit, and the company retired at a late hour, highly delighted with the amusements of the evening, the arrangements of which reflect great credit on the taste and liberality of Mr. Bettison, the proprietor. NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE AS- SURANCE SOCIETY. (From the Worcestershire Guardian. ) A Meeting took place on Thursday last, in Worcester, for the purpose of establishing a Branch of this Institution. Mr. Laurie Murray, the Chairman of the London Board, and several other influential gentlemen, amongst whom we noticed Mr. Pierpoint, Mr. Dent, Mr. Hall, Mr. Hughes, Mr. Rowlands, Mr. J. W. Lea, Mr. Hood, &c. were in attendance. Mr. Larnie Murray, after stating Oat he was happy to see men of so much influence met together to investigate the merits of the Institution, and ready, if they approved its principles, to diffuse its advantages by the influence of example, disclaimed being anxious to set forth its advan tages to the prejudice of any of the existing forty Assu rance Establishments. His great anxiety was to increase the number of Assurers, by increasing the facility of Assurance ; and he was quite certain, whatever success attended this Society, the effect would be equally felt by those already es tablished. This was the most enlightened view to take, and experience every day repudiated narrow and con tracted views of rivalry. He would not enter. into any argument as to the value of Life Assurance. The fault he found with the present system was, that the number of individuals included in its benefits, compared to the mass of society, were so few. He believed there were about forty Assurance Companies, and the aggregate num ber assured for life was not greater than 80,000 indivi duals, which would give an average of 1,500 persons for each office. This would be proved by the fact, that the Equitable had not more than 6,000 policies for life, though the average of each policy, 2,0001., was undoubtedly tahigh one ; this would give to the representatives of the Assured a sum of 12,000,0001., and he believed the funded capital of that Establishment was about 11,000,0001. The Law Life was another prosperous office, and the number of po licies was about the same as the Equitable, and its average was 1,1001. each policy. Taking all the offices, the average of each policy was about 6001. ; and supposing each office had 1,500 policies, it would give it a yearly income in pre miums of 35 to 40,000 a year, or 15,000,000 in the aggre gate paid . in premiums. After payment of expenses, and laying by as much as would cover the risk, ote fourth, and even more, of this sum at least was profit ; which showed that a small business was profitable, and at the same time that Life Assurance had not reached the middle, or productive classes. He would consider this Society a failure when established throughout each district if, in a given number of years, the number of policies did not exceed that of all the existing offices put together. The middle classes had no Institution open to their savings ; they could not promise themselves continued ability to meet the aanuel premium ; consequently this mode of providing for a family was quite debarred them. He undertook to say that not one tradesman in 500 —besides the number of farmers and agriculturists, and other great branches of society, who were the very frame work and security of the State—was assured at all. It was not because they were less productive than any other class, the great exertions they made in all the departments of life disproved that presumption, but. the reason was, that Life Assurance had not been brought within their com pass. The productive classes had Benefit Societies, and Savings' B inks ; and to a certain ixtent these were sub stitutes—but very imperfect ones. A Savings' Bank was still better than a Benefit Society ; in the latter, a man assured himself provision in sickness, the expences of a funeral ; or an annuity commencing, at an old age. Now the average of a general sickness would not be two years of a man's life, and such an object could without diminishing the saving materially, be obtained by a SaViugs' Bank. In re,pect to a deferred annuity there was a: keitabability of a man not reaching 60 years, and it' so a saving made up to that time would purchase provision for old age. Savings' Banks were, however, defective and inferior to this Society, in as much as they made no provision for the uncertainty of hu man life ; while through the Loan Fund all the advantages of a Savings Bank was secured. Besides, he remarked that accumulation went on as beneficially in an Assurance Society, as in a Savings Bank ; inasmuch as a man at 20 who assured his life for 5001. provided he lived to his expec tancy, 33 years, would have paid according to the tables, about 3001. in the aggregate in annual payments. Mr. Murray then entered into similar statements as to other ages, showing that in no way could a saving be made more productive than by a life Assurance. In continua tion, he stated that all the advantages obtainable by Benefit Societies and Saving Banks, had been combined in the pre sent Institution and made equally applicable to all classes. The leading advantages of this Society were, with a Life Assurance, a man was protected against misfortune in his life time. The benefits would be made to arise both from the uncertainty of human affairs, as well as human life. It was also available for the support of a man in his undertak ing—causing his savings to act as a capital reproducing it self. Tnis advantage sprung from the Loan Fund ; a per son assured would have as much right to draw for two thirds of the amount of the premiums, as he would have to draw a check on his bankers. Mr. PlearolNT asked if there were any stated time at which a person assured might apply for the required loan? Mr. MURRAY.—He might begin at any time after the first year. Mr. DENT.—And he might then demand it ? " W. C. MOORE. " T. Brightwell, Mayor ; A. Hudson." The Rev. Prebendary Wodehouse said that Mr. Cooper, on being taken into custody, said that he did not know he had shot the man ; he felt confident when he fired that the shot went over the hedge. Witness went to the hospital, saw the deceased, and asked him if he had any relation named Cooper ? He replied no, nor did he know any per son of that name. He was told that the gentleman who caused the a( cident would do anything he could for his wife end family ; to which he made no reply. The Jury retired, and in 20 minutes returned a verdict of " Manelaughter against Jonathan Whitley Cooper, gent." The Court, which had been crowded to suffocation dur ing this long inquiry, was then cleared. When the populace were informed of the verdict of the Jury, they rushed to the Narfelk Hotel, where the Jury were waiting to sign the vci%liet, and made a most de.perate attack on them, abusie,.; than for not finding Mr. Cooper guilty of wilful murcier, the police were sent to quell the riot.— Abridged from the Norwich Me; curt'. SHIPWRECK ON THE COAST OF DUNDRUM.-SEVEN LIVES LOST. We regret to state that, in consequence of the tremen dsus storm of Sunday night last, the Oen,. de Lion, of Liverpool, bound for Quebec, with a general c irg.o, was driven in a complete wreck at Tyrello watchhouse, in the hay of Dundrum. There were 21 men on board, includ isg two passengers. On the morning of Monday, as soon as the inhabitants along the coast observed the vessel in dis tress, they assembled for the purpose of rends ring any as sistance in their power to the unfortunate crew, who were to be seen here and there perched upon the rigging. The vessel was not more than about a quarter of a mile fsocn the shore, and though the wind was not now so high, yet the agitation of the sea after the storm was such that any attempt to reach the unfortunate vessel in safety was cousidei cd hopeless. By this time the sad news had reached St. John's Point, a life-boat station, when Mr. P. R. M. Browne, justice of the peace, directed the life.boat to be taken out ; but as the crew were absent at the herring fishery, the boat had to be manned by four of the coast-guard and two of Captain Browne's labouring servants, who were humanely taken charge of by Mr. Strain, chief officer of the coast guard, this gentleman having handsomely volunteered his services on the occa sion, at the same time representing the attempt es hopeless and dangerous in the extreme. They put off, however, with considerable courage, and after the laborious exertions of upwards of an hour, they got within a few yards of the un fortunate vessel, when, unfortunately, the boat upset, and every soul in it was tossed into the deep ; they, however, with the assistance of the masts and other rigging floating about the vessel, providentially succeeded in getting on board the aeur de Lion. Some of them were very much exhausted. When Mr. Strain, to whom the highest meed of praise is due for his gallant conduct in thus periling his life, had recovered a little, he found a great lack of exertion manifesting itself on the part of the Captain : for instance, not an anchor had been cast, which he immediately recommended to be done. On seeing the life-boat approach the wreck, two Clanmaghery boats made an effort to gain the vessel also, when one of them upset, but no lives lost : the other succeeded in reaching the vessel, and on her re turning with some of the crew, was upset also, when un happily seven persons perished, five belonging to the ves sel, and two of the brave fellows who went out under the hopes of rescuing their fellow-creatures from a watery grave. Their names are George Starkey and Patrick M‘Gsolaghan ; the latter has left a wife and five children. We understand that but for Mr. John Hogg, of Rathmul len, who had by this time got his boat in readiness, several of those who had been upset in the first boat would cer tainly have perished also. After picking them up, he brought them ashore, and again put off with his crew of four men, and, in the most courageous and praiseworthy manner, succeeded in landing a number of the crew safely on shore. As undaunted as ever, he a second time re turned, and with an intrepidity truly astonishing, reached the vessel in safety, and took another cargo on board, all of whom he succeeded in landing. His courage seemed only to acquire strength with his unparalleled success, and, contrary to the wish of some of his relatives and others pre sent, this young gentleman ventured his life a third time ; and though, on his return, his boat was half filled with water, and all the oars gone but one, he brought his last cargo triumphantly to land, amidst the cheers of all pre sent. Much credit, we understand, is due to Messrs. Ar thur Hill Montgomery and P. R. M. Browne, for the ad mirable arrangements which they effected, as magistrates, in placing guards along the coast, to preserve those por tions of the wreck which were occasionally coming on shore. Indeed, to the whole of the inhabitants along that part of the coast the utmost praise is due, but more es pecially to Messrs. Hogg and Strain, for their heroic and valiant conduct in rescuing so many of their fellow-crea tures from a watery grave. The Coeur de Lion was 350 tons register, and was on this occasion freighted with a valuable cargo. Several chests of tea, boxes of soap, and casks of brandy and rum have been washed ashore. We - understand she is the property of Messrs. Fisher and Son, of Liverpool. Mr. Fisher, a nephew of the proprietor, is said to be one of the seven who unhappily perished. Six of the bodies have been found. We are happy to learn that a subscription has been entered into for the widow and children of poor M.Goolaghan.—Downpatriek --Recorder. Mr. MURRAY replied in the affirmative. Another feature of the Society was that in the event of negligence or inability on the part of the assured to pay his premiums, the Society would take no advantage of this circumstance, for after five payments his representatives would be entitled to receive at his death two-thirds of his payments, so that in no case could a man be a loser, and by removing the great obstructions to Life Assurance—the fear of loss—any individual who could save from sixpence a we e k to 1,0001. a-year, could participate in the various benefits of this Institution. It let in the tide of providence so deeply implanted in the human breast ; if society were less provident it was owing to no inherent defect but rather to the want of facility. So much had the principles of this Society been approved of, that notwithstanding the period from its first commencement was short, they had received invitations to form Branch Establishments under the most encouraging circumstances from various parts of the country. Mr. DENT enquired whether everything in its affairs would be open to all persons who had an interest in the Institution ? Mr. MURRAY—Certainly, every person who was inte rested in the Society—not only Proprietors but the As sured would have a right of investigating the assets and liabilities of the Company. He then adverted to a feature of the Company which ensured a local bonus to every Branch. In order to stimulate its exertions all the profits above the general rate of profit on the tables would be divided amongst those connected with that Branch alone. And in answer to some questions on that subject, he stated that the expences of the Society (of which he went into a detail) were in comparison with other offices very trifling, and would not be much increased. He also adverted to the tables which were prepared by Mr. Woolhouse, an Ac tuary of the highest mathematical accomplishments and experience. After a very full discussion of the principles of the So ciety, the cordial approbation of the gentlemen present was expressed, and it was finally proposed that a Committee should bo formed of active and influential men connected with the city, and the patronage of the gentlemen of the county, and those connected with the agricultural interest, sought in support of the undertaking. We understand that many shares have been already sub scribed for, and several highly respectable individuals have also signified their intention of assuring their lives, and otherwise promoting the objects of the Institution. Bochsa, with Pasta, Curioni, De Begnis, &c., have given two concerts at Cheltenham, which proved so highly successful that a third was to take place last evening at the Assembly-rooms; to cocclude with the third Act of Zin garelli's opera, Romeo e Giuliella, with decorations, &c.: R. J. Stevens, Esq., organist of the Charter-house, and Gresham lecturer, died on Saturday, at a very ad vanced age ; he had been a member of the Royal Society of Musicians for sixty years. Mr. Stevens was the com poser of a number of excellent glees, among which were— " Blow, blow, thou winter's wind , " " Crabbed age," " Sigh no more ladies," " Ye spotted snakes," " From Oberon in fairy land," " Some of my heroes are low," " Strike the harp in praise of Bragela," &c. STOKESHILL PLACE.—" This new novel will in crease the already well-earned reputation of Mrs. Gore. It is extremely well written. Mrs. Gore depicts the con % entional characters of society, and the secret springs by which human motives are governed, with equal felicity. Tile heartlessness of fashionable life, the selfishness of am bition, and the vanity of aggrandisement, are developed in the history of the hero, and of the subordinate agents of the talc. An excellent moral is elicited by the events and the catastrophe."—Times.

" Oct. 17.—The thermometer fell to 9 deg. below Fah renheit. In the beginning of November the ship was housed in, and every arrangement made for meeting the rigour of winter ; snow walls were raised round the ship, and in this manner we drifted to and fro off the high land of Cape Comfort, at times carried so close to the rocks as to excite alarm for the safety of the ship. " December 21.—A furious gale from the westward drove us off shore 14 miles to the eastward of Cape Com fort, from which point the coast not before laid down in our charts was surveyed, as we drifted to the south-eastward for the distance of about 120 miles, as far as Seahorse Point, the eastern extremity of Southampton Island. The general character of the coast—barren hills and cliffs, vary ing from 750 to 1,000 feet above the sea. "On Christmas-day the first symptoms of scurvy showed themselves, which gradually extended itself to all hands. At one time 25 men were suffering severely from it, but eventually only three persons fell ♦ictims to this dreadful disease—viz., the gunner and two seamen. In the begin ning of January, during a calm, our floe of ice split with a fearful crash, and this was the commencement of a series of shocks, that nothing but the great strength of the mass of timber and iron employed in fortifying the ship could have withstood ; as it was, the vessel strained in every direction. " Feb. 18.—Early in the morning, thermometer at 33 degrees below zero, a disruption of the ice took place, and waves of ice 30 feet high were rolled towards the ship, which complained much ; the decks were separated ; the beams raised off the shelfpieces ; lashings and stones used for supporters gave way ; iron bolts partially drawn ; and the whole frame of the ship trembled so violently, as to throw some of the men down. Yet this was not our worst disaster. " On the 15th of March, while drifting to the south-east ward, off a low point (since appropriately named Terror point'), a tremendous rush of ice, from the north-west, took the ship astern, and, although buried to the flukes of the anchor in a dock of ice, such was the pressure, that she was forced upon it, and, at the same time, thrown over to star board—the stern-post was carried away, and the stern lifted seven feet out of the water. The same night a second rush of ice tore up the remnants of our floe, and forced the ship on the ice, so that her forefoot was quite out of the water ; her sunken stern was threatened by an overhanging wave of ice, full thirty feet high, but which, providentially, stopped as it touched the quarter of the ship ; the water poured in through the stern-frame, and the ship creaked and strained in every direction ; provisions were got on deck, the boats lowered, and every preparation made for the worst extremity, and in the darkness and silence of the night we calmly awaited the anticipated coming of another shock, which, to all human appearances, must have been the last. Heaven ordained it otherwise, and in this novel cradle of ice :re were drifted, without further injury, to Seahorse point. The ice that bore us was ascertained to be 70 feet thick, and it was not until we had sawed through long lines of 23 feet thick, at a future day, that the ship was freed from thii situation. The position of SNiliorse-point was determined to be 63 (1.. g. 43 min. long., 89 deg. 10 coin. west, vari..tion 49 deg. westerly ; the lowest temperature was .53 deg. below zero, when both mercury and brandy were frozen. " On the Ist of May the ship, still on the icc, was drifted near Mill Island, thence to the southward of Not tingLim Island, between it and Cape Woolstcnhohne, perpendiealar cl•ff of 1,000 feet high, thence to the north ward of Charles Island, which we reached on the 2:st of .I❑no. Tire ice now sho sett syroptorns of disruptio;:, and we set all haw is to work with a 35 foot ice-saw, worked by shears ; and on the llth of July, having sawed to within 3 feet, the file split in a fore and aft direction and liberated the larboard side ; we immediately made sail on the ship, but found we could not extricate her from an iceberg be tween tile fore and main chains ; we again had recourse to saws and purchase:7, when the lump of ice still-fast to the ship rose to the surface of the water and threw the vessel on her ends, the water ruAing in with frightful ra pidity. Al! hands were instantly set to work aAain, and Lboured day - and nieht unrumittiagly at the fatiguing but indispensable operation of sawing, till, exhausted by their exertions, I was obliged to call them in limn the ice for rest and refreshment. Not a querter of an hour had elapsed from quitting the work when a stnNen disruption of the ice took place, and the mass crashed with terrific vio lence against the ship's side, snapping, apparently without effart, t.h a lashings and spas that had been placed, fearing this occurrence ; and, but for the merniival interposition of l'eovidenee; all would inevitably have been crushed by the mass of ice on which they had just been labouring. " As the ice separated the shiP righted and drifted along. Finding it impossible to hang the old rudder, a spare one was fitted, and sai! made on the ship : it was an anxious moment as we waited to see if she would answer her helm, • and as she bore up before the wind, with her head towards England, a cheer of gratitude burst from all on board. " I had cherished to the last moment the hope that the damages sustained might not be so great as to prevent my pushing for Wager Inlet by Sir Thomas Roe's Welcome, and there to beach the ship and repair damages, while sonic in boats carried into effect the object of our expedition ; but when I found she required two pumps constantly going to keep her free, that both outer and inner stern-posts were gone, the keel seriously damaged, besides various other ca sualties, I felt it became my duty, however reluctantly, to make the hest of our way homewards. Fortunately, the early part of our passage across the Atlantic was favour able, but subsequently the weather became boisterous, and the ship leaks increased very much, so that we could barely keep her free with incessant pumping ; to secure the ship also we were obliged to strap her together with the stream chain cable. " On the 6th of August we again passed though Hud son's Straits, and on the 3d of September arrived in Lough Swilly, not having let go our anchor since June, 1836. " Tu speculate on what might have been the result of this expedition, had I reached either Repulse Bay or Wager River, would now be idle, but I cannot resist the opportunity of recording my unaltered opinion as to the practicability of the service, when once a party should have reached either of the before-mentioned starting places. " The north-eastern shore of Southampton Island has been now surveyed, for the first time, by Lieut. Owen Stanley, who has also made various views of the coast, and a chart showing the track of the ship, the remarkable posi tion in which the ship was placed among the ice, admirably illustrated by Lieut. Smyth, in a series of spirited and cha racteristic drawings. " I cannot conclude this brief account without bearing testimony to the great assistance I have invariably re ceived from Lieut. Smyth, and all the officers and crew employed under my command in this expedition, to the cheerful obedience with which all orders were obeyed, and to the steadiness of behaviour evinced in circumstances of no common trial. " I have the honour to be, &c., " Sept. 11, 1837. GEORGE BACK." EXTRAORDINARY CASE AT NOR- WICU. The inhabitants of Norwich have been in a state of the greatest excitement since Sunday last in consequence of Mr. W. G. Moore, upholsterer of Bethel-street, in that city, having been shot at and mortally wounded by a gen tleman in a gig as he was returning home from his work at North Walsham, on Saturday night, between eight and nine o'clock. Soon after' the shot was fired the poor man was heard to groan, and was taken to the George and Dragon at Catton, and thence to the hospital at Norwich, where he expired on Tuesday morning. In consequence of evi dence given before the Mayor, Mr. J. W. Cooper, of St. Mary's, and the clerk, Thirkettle, were apprehended on Sunday morning on the charge of committing the act, and were committed to Norwich Castle to await the poor man's fate. An inquest was summoned on Tuesday afternoon, when evidence was taken, of which the following is an abridge ment _ _ The first witness was Rebecca Bacon. She saw Mr. Cooper, at Catton, get into his gig with his clerk. She was walking along the road when she heard a shot fired, which was immediately followed by a groan. She proceeded a little further on the road when she came up to a man bleed ing, who told her he had been shot by the gentleman in the gig and was dying. She went to the George and Dragon Inn, whence two men came and conveyed the wounded man to the house. He said his name was Moore, and that he was returning home from North Walsham. Charlotte Bacon confirmed the above. In addition to which she said that she heard the gentleman in the gig say to deceased, " How do you do, old boy ?" She then saw him turn and shoot Mr. Moore. Mr. John Mason, of Catton, heard the shot and the groan, but did not go to the assistance of the wounded man, being alarmed. Hyllyard, of Catton, was told by the two Bacons that a man had been shot by a gentleman in the gig, and went out with two men, named Crampton and Gymer, and brought the wounded man into the George. When in the inn, Mr. Moore did not relat e anything that took place between him and the gentleman in the gig pre vious to the shot being fired. Thirkettle, clerk to Mr. Cooper, made the fol lowing statement :—I accompanied Mr. Cooper from an inn at St. Miles's to Cotton, about six o'clock on Sat urday.even ing. He stopped at the house of Mrs. Symonds, a female with whom he cohabited, and I drove the Gig to the George and Dragon, where I waited until the horse was taken out and fed ; then I returned to Mrs. Symonds's house until a little past eight, when I went to the inn for tl'e chaise. We then . drove off tow a rd s N orw i c h.

The announcement has given great pleasure in the racing world. TATTERSALL' S—YESTIZI{DdY. The absence of several at Heaton Park Races, and of some from motives pretty well understood, prevented those who at tended for the purpose from closing their St. Leger accounts. So much latitude, indeed, is taken in this necessary sequitur to racing that, in order to put an end to receiving in hard cash and paying in promises, it is proposed that a large black board shall be placed outside the door, on which the sufferers by such parties shall be at liberty to put up their bets for sale, specify ing the name of the non-payer, the amount and nature of the bet, and the sum required as purchase money. We make this proposal without intending any personal application, and simply from a conviction that the plan, if carried into effect, will be the means of restoring the market to a healthy state. The only bets made yesterday were 200 to 100 on Mango agst Citron for their match in the October Meeting, 1,600 to 300 agst Cobweb colt for the Derby, and 18 to 1 to 75/. agst Non plus's dam for the same race.

EXTRAORDINARY FEAT.—The great pedestrian match for a bet to a large amount, to pick up 300 stones at one yard apart, between those celebrated peripatetics, the veteran Townsend and Mountjoy, was decided yesterday at Lord's Cricket ground, St. John's Wood, Marylebone. Among the company were many of the elite of the fashionable world, and a number of sporting men. From the terms of the agreement entered into between the parties it seemed that Townsend was to un dertake to pick his 300 stones from the ground with his mouth (as he did in his first match with Drinkwater), whilst his op ponent, Mountjoy, was to pick his 300 stones with his hands. Townsend was attired in a light flannel jacket, nankeen drawers, cotton socks, light shoes, and a linen cap ; and around his loins was girded a yellow silk handkerchief. Mount. joy was similarly dressed. Townsend appeared to be of Her culean cast. His weight is 11 stone ;heis 5 feet f, - ) inches in height, and he is 45 years of age. His more youthful compe titor is 35 years old, about 5 feet 6 inches in height, and neighed about 10 stone slbs. At 26 minutes to ten the start took place, Mountjoy darting off like a young deer, whilst Townsend went at a more cool and regular pace. They thus continued till about half-past one, when Mountjoy was de Glared to be dead beat, and no wonder either, when it is consi dered that in this short time (three hours 56 minutes), he had accomplished about 27 miles, and picked up 136 stones, and was said to be four miles in advance of his more experienced opponent. The announcement to Townsend of his success gave him greater vigour, and pursuant to the terms of the match he was obliged to complete the undertaking, although the winner by Mountjoy's failure. The veteran kept on, with out distressing himself, till about seven o'clock in the even ing, when it was declared b► the umpires he had performed this arduous undertaking, he having thrown Isis last stone into the basket. This announcement was received with loud cheers by the company. The distance was 51 miles and 440 yards. Bets to a large amount depended on the performance. THE MOORS. Grouse shooting has been superior in Tweeddale this season to what it has been for many years. On Lord Elibank's moors, where the shooting does not commence until the 20th of August (a system which, if generally pursued, would greatly increase the breed of grouse—a species of game whose numbers do no harm to the tenantry,) the Hon. J. Oliphant and J. Erskine Murray have averaged each day from twelve to sixteen brace a- piece. Several bands of poachers have been seen in various parts of the county, particularly on its Mid-Lothian boundary. The gamekeeper of Mr. AP Kenzie of Portmore endeavoured to turn off these bands, but without effect. It is generally supposed, however, in the county, that this party were not poachers, but a party of those gentlemen who have so lately become freeholders in it, and had come to sport upon their estates ; but who, ignorant of the localities of their pro perties, had unwittingly trespassed upon the lands of the Member for the county. On the 4th instant some of the party at Flowerdale, con sisting of Lords Loftus, Alford, Jocelyn, Mr. Maher, and Captain Stephenson, killed two magnificent stags, which from their uncommon size had been the wonder of the neighbour hood for the last two years. The one (without head and offal) weighed eighteen and the other seventeen Dutch stones. The fat near the hind part was three and a half inches deep. The distance between the extreme points of the horns was, of the one, thirty-four inches, of the other twenty-nine and a half inches. Two such animals, we believe, have not been killed in the Highlands for many years. It is an extra ordinary circumstance, which shows the variety of sport on this moor, the property of Sir Francis A. Mackenzie, of Gair loch, that on the same day the party killed red deer, game, and ptarmigan—salmon in that splendid river the Ewe, be sides a haul of sea fish. Lord Cantalupe and Captain For rester, M. P., who had been on a visit to Flowerdale, left a few days previously, much gratified with their varied and ex cellent sport. Lord and Lady Robert Grosvenor have arrived at Baden-Baden. Letters received on Saturday last give a very favourable report of the state of his Lordship's health. The Commander-in-Chief has recommended for the consideration of Government several meritoroas officers who have not been provided for according to their rank and services in the late war. The unpleasant affair in high life now spoken of will not be so easily closed, though the difficulty relates en tirely to the alimony. Baron de Retzenstein, Grand Marshal of the king dom of Saxony, will accompany her Royal Highness the Princess Augusta of Saxony to this country. Mr. Wildsmith, of the free-list.ollice, English Opera House, takes his benefit to-morrow night.* His po lite and obliging manners, to say nothing of the attrac tiveness of the entertainments he has announced for the oc casion, must obtain for him a liberal share of public support. The Earl of Chesterfield has arrived at Grethv Lodge on a shooting excursion, accompanied by a party of sporting gentlemen. The Marquis of Waterford will leave town in a few days for Carragnmore, county of Waterford. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and the Duchess of Kent left Windsor Castle yesterday morning on a visit to the Queen Dowager at Bushy Park. Her Majesty and her august mother re in tined an hour with the Queen Dowager and the Duchess Ida of Saxe Weimar, and then left the Queen's Lodge °l' their return to Windsor Castle. M.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE RECEPTION OF THE QU EEN % Nearly one hundred men were set to work this morning close to the southern gates of the Palace grounds, in brea k " ing the ground, and erecting scaffold poles for the construe tion of an amphitheatre of large dimensions, capable of. 013; taming some thousands of persons, who are to be admtt.teu by payment of a certain sum. It is to contain three tie of seats, and is to be decorated with laurels, evergree; &c. ; and we have no doubt, from the situation, that it vvi ' when finished, have an imposing and agreeable appearancee The triumphal arch will be raised at the centre ; a nd in th, evening it will be illuminated, provided the funds collected be sufficient to defray the expense. The collectors co plain of a lukewarmness on the part of the inhabitants, an say that the subscriptions come in very slowly. The alterations at the Palace have not been extensi,re' the principal part of the work being confined to re - to na l the music-room, which is to undergo further imp rovemen on the departure of the Queen.
