By SAMUEL LA'MEIIT, M:D., ?, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Dotter of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &C. The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe. The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under tha Personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few legally qualifted physicians who have devoted their whole and un divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short, every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental t 0 the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation Of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care Will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and i nviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these eases.

'rem Commander Spratt, of her Majesty's survey ing vessel Spitfire, addressed to her Majesty's Consul at Smyrne, relative to an alteration in the marks for enter ing the channel of the Bay of Smyrna. " AUG. STAFFORD. " Captain G. A. Halsted, R.N., Secretary, Lloyd's." Her Majesty's steam-vessel Spitfire, Smyrna, Aug. 26, 1852. " Having since my arrival at this port on the 13th cf August, been enabled to examine the Spit off the mouth of the Hermes, upon which a beacon was plaoed in 1842, and having ascertained that it has considerably grown Out by the depositions from that river since that time, I therefore felt it ray duty as early as possible to inform you of the fact for the benefit of the merchants and captains interested in the navigation of this gulf, and to point out to them that the marks given in a copy of a chart of the Channel of the Bay of Smyrna by Captain Graves and the officers of her. Majesty's ship Beacon which was then published at this pert—viz., that the north end of the old castle on Mount Pagus, on with the south end of Sanjac Css:le, clears the Spit—is no longer true, the Spit having grown out beyond those merits. P: is now nEcessary to substitute the following for the former marks:—A large and conspicuous tree, with a house under it. which appears to the south of Sanjac Castle, on with the north end of the old cast l e on M ou n t Pagus. This latter object will, in consequence, be moro than twice its breadth open to the south of Sanjac Castle instead of touching it, as by the old marks. N.B.—This Snit is the only one of such rapid increase as to sensibly affect the navigation of the channel is a few years, but it is one of least danger where a proper 100k -out is kept, since the reeds growing on the lips of the river are within a cable's length of the extremity of the Spit, and th e shallow bar is generally seen to break, or with trunks of trees aground upon it. " As the other spits extend some distance from dry land they are not so easily indicated, the marks for them being very distant and indistinct; it is, therefore, the more to be regretted that the buoys formerly placed upon these spits by the subscription of some few merchants have been entirely removed through the apparent a ant of interest or care abut their preservation by the legal author icy. " The consequence is that many vessels now ground upon these spits, and much loss of time and expense fol lows, which often is far more than would be the cost of replacing and maintaining such necessary guides to a great comma cial port. " Finding that notice of their entire removal is not generally known, strangers arriving at the port of Smyrna are thus often placed in a difficulty. " T. SPRATT, Commander.'"

For Hours, see Programme. the question of the shipping interest of this country, he might be snowed to say a few words. He had seen Mrs. Chisholm on the occasion of an emigrant ship sailing from Gravesend, and one remark which she then made Strongly impressed him. It was that shipowners bad hitherto treated emigrants as they would bates of Manchester goods. He had felt that the gross injustice that was done to the passengers re-acted also very disadvantagecusty on the shipowners, bscause it must tell on their interests in the long run. He had adopted Mrs. Chisholm's suggestions, and made some alteration in his ships. He had not yet, how ever, attained perfection—(A laugh)—and he thought Mrs. Chisholm had thrown out some excellent hints that night. The-plan of having a separate compart ment of the slip for the emigrants' provisions, to be kept under lock and key, was one which, on the ground even of self-interest alone, shipowners ought to adopt ; andfrom that moment forth he should in troduce it into the next ship he dispatched. The principle of this storeroom would be something like that of the bonded warehouse, there being two pad locks upon it. One person, appointed by the passen gers, should have the custody of one key, and the third officer of the ship the other, so that no person could get at the contents till both parties were present. With re gard to the barbarous custom of shaving on crossing the line, it was a humiliating and villainous ordeal, of which he had unfortunately had personal experience —(Laughter)—and he was not surprised' that the stout men of Kent were afraid of it. For himself he had inserted a close in the regulations of his last ship, prohibiting the practice altogether, and also the exaction of money from the passengers for exemption. Emigration was 'eoly now in its infancy, and he be lieved it was &Jae tyas- well as the interest of the shipowtiter4 e miti r e - MI passengers - as comfortable-as they possibly could within the limits of a ship. The first move he intended to make in this matter was to have a ship fitted entirely for emigrants, of 2,500 tons burthen, or 1,800 tons register, to be called the Caroline Chishalm, and which would convey that lady and her fellow-emigrants across the seas to the Australian colonies, and be the forerunner of a line of ships of the same character.—(Cheers.) A person in the body of the meeting asked Mr. Lindsay his opinion of iron ships ? Mr. LINDSAY would answer that question by say ing that he was building iron ships now himself, be cause: they were superior in strength and security to wooden ships. This he thought was illustrated by the fact of the Great Britain iron steamer, when she ran ashore, being got off, after knocking about for a number of days, without any other injury than the rust, whereas another vessel, while going down a quiet river to Bristol, struck the beach, and became a total wreck. Mr. ROBERT LoWE, M.P., said that, having resided for eight years in the Australian colonies, and having had ample opportunities of judging of their resources, he was convinced that those who could not provide a good, comfortable, and sufficient maintenance for themselves here, could not do better than go to a land w hi c h came as near to his notion of an earthly Para dise as any country in the world, and where, with common industry and care, a certain competence and even affluence awaited every man who kept from in temperance. There the climate was most exhiliratin g —there there we re no blue devils—(Laughter)—they had no November fogs, and no days which suggested P gen tly to a man to g o and han g himself.—( Laughter.)rovisions, too, w ere exceedingly cheap, and he had often bought the best hind quarters for his family at a farthing per lb. Tea was Is. a lb.; and sugar and all other necessaries proportionately cheap. Much cloth ing was not required, in fact the clothes that were worn were more for look than for use; and houses to live in did not require to be made of stone or few slabs cut from a tree constituted suffi c - materials to erect a dwelling. In fact, if there not a single grain of gold i n the whole countr y at t rac tions of the colonies were sufficient to in btdwhi r ueae i : e s et —a k any labouring man who considered his position and was not comfortable here to transfer his ener gies to them. For his part he considered that the gold did not constitute their advantages, but only drew attention to their advantages, because if people saw that in a few years they could rise to comfort, affluence, and independence, and that was the case long before the discovery of gold, they would say that fact was quite sufficient to lead reasonable men who wished to escape from poverty and want, to go thither. And therefore it was not merely on the ground of the gold discoveries that he advocated emigration, because the field would be as good, and possibly in some respects better, if there was no gold. He would just touch on some of the causes which power fully checked emigration to our Australian colonies, and diverted the stream to a rival power, the United States of America. The two causes most strongly and violently operating to deter our people from going to Australia and preferring America were the high price of land in Australia and the system of trans portation. In America the emigrant could buy land for a dollar an acre from the Government ; in Aus tralia the Government would not permit land to he sold under 11. an acre ; so that the emigrant to Aus tralia went three times as far in order to buy land for five times as much. That was the way in which our Government protected our colonies and stimulated people to go tbere; and the consequence had been up till very recently, that whilst upwards of 250,000 subjects of this country annually went to the United States, only 30,000 went to Australia; and yet the parties paid their own passage to America, while those who went to Australia were taken out at the expense of the colonies. We were actually obliged to bribe people to go to our colonies, instead of going to a place not one-twentieth as eligible for emigration. If, therefore, they wanted to promote the best kind of emigration, they ought to advocate the reduction of the price of land to the American rate,by which means they would get the people to settle and fasten on the land, which was much better than, by opposing as great obstacles to their obtaining an inch of the soil in fee-simple in the colonies as they experienced in the old country, to make them a migratory population, which would leave its regular employment at the first word about gold diggings or any similar discovery. It was in vain, therefore, for Mrs. Chisholm to plan, or Mr. Lindsay to execute, when the Government, by a gross and glaring policy, were doing everything in their power to counteract their efforts. The second hindrance to emigration to Australia was the system cf transportation, which appealed to higher and nobler motives—to a man's conscience and his feelings as a husband and a father. They said to a man, "Go by all means to the colonies, but you go under a penalty that you must bring up your sons and your daughters in contact with convicted felons." In order that the colonies might continue good and vir tuous, we ought to keep as far as possible from them this contaminating flood which we were now pouring over them month after month. It might be said that Van Diemen's Land was the only colony to which convicts were sent ; but it must be remembered that that island was very near to the other colonies, to which the passage was cheap, and the facilities for escape great, and that penal settlement must become only the filter through which the foul stream flowed to all the other Australian colonies.—(Hear, hear.) The proceedings, which were protracted to a some what late hour, terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. FAMILY COLONIZATION FOR AUSTRALIA. Last evening Mrs, Chisholm held another group meeting of intending emigrants in the Boys' Paro chial School-room, Clapham-common, the Rev. Wentworth A. Bowyer, rector of the parish, in the chair. The subject announced for discussion was— " Government inspection of provisions not sufficient protection to emigrants." Long before eight o'clock (the hour for commencing the proceeding , ) the room was crowded with an audience of the working classes, and large numbers of both sexes congregated outside were unable to obtain admission, from the want of accommodation. On entering the room Mrs. Chis holm was received with loud applause. Beside her, on the platform, were Mr. R. Lowe, M.P. for Kidder minster, Mr. W. S. Lindsay, the large shipowner, and several other ladies and gentlemen interested in the emigration movement. The Rev. CHAIRMAN having briefly introduced the business of the evening, and expressed his regret that the room was not double the size, so as to contain the crowd outside, Mrs. CHISHOLM rose to address the meeting. She said that the usual mode adopted to persuade people to emigrate was to give bright and glowing descrip tions of the colonies, so as to tempt them to go to them ; but, as a friend to emigration, she would ven ture to point out, some of the dangers connected tvith it. Several gentlemen connected with shipping, as well as provision merchants, were present that even ing to hear the remarks which she had to make on the present mode of provisioning ships. From upwards of 30 villages and towns in England she had received re quests to visit them, in order to hold group meetings ; and she was also under a promise to visit Scotland for a month; and she did not like to go there until the dif ficulties 'with which she was now surrounded 'Were brought fairlybefore the public. The Act of Parliament did not meet them, but they could be met by a gene rous spirit amongst those engaged in the trade. They found in all the newspapers that there was an inspec tion of the provisions consumed in emigrant ships made by Captain Lean, the Government officer, than whom there could not be a man more fitted for or more honest in the discharge of his duties, and one whose tack and management bad often se cured for the emigrants many comforts which the Act did not enforce. But if she were to-morrow to buy and pay for the best provisions she could get, and put them on board the emigrant vessel; even although they passed the inspection of the Government officer, she was under the necessity of stating that that in spection did not afford sufficient protection to the emigrants. The Act gave the Government officer the power of rejecting unfit provisions, but this operated no further than merely to prevent large quantities of bad provisions from being put on board ship. Provisions that were allowed to pass were put into the hold ; there was no separate place to keep them in, and it was seldom that more than one man —generally the third mate—was employed in serving them out to the emigrants. The consequence was that they frequently heard reports of bad provisions, sometimes within a few days after the ship left Gravesend. She thought there would never be suffi • cient security for the emigrants getting their proper provisions, until a cupboard was specially set apart in the ship for containing them, the key of which should he kept by a person who could be entrusted with it. She had known provisions served to emigrants, 14 days after they left port, that were not the same as those which had been put on board for them. The Emigration Commissioners had done all in their power to guard against this evil—they had insisted that the same quality of provisions should be pro vided for the emigrants as were used for the officers and crew ; and it was not likely that Jack would have the worst for himself ; but this rule did not prevent beef from being bought at a low figure, and afterwards exchanged for what had been provided for the emigrants. Now this was a very hard thing for the respectable provision merchant, because his cha racter was likely to suffer from being left at the mercy of the temper or the honesty of not only one indivi dual in the ship, but of half a dozen; and, indeed, this difficulty was so great, that a number of most respect able men were deterred from entering upon emigration as a business. It had been her rule never to speak of a difficulty unless she could tell bow to overcome it, and she never mentioned one in public until she had first tried to surmount it in private without success. She wished the shipowners to listen to this matter, because it was the cause of a want of confi dence which impeded the full development of emigra tion among the working classes. The amended Act of Parliament now enjoined that for every 100 emi grants taken on hoard there should be a steward, who should assist in giving out the provisions. Now she had herself examined the cases of 947 emigrants who had gone in the ships of the most respectable houses, and the question they were accustomed to put was, "This is a good dietary table, but do you think we ' shall have these provisions ?" because letter after letter I came stating that in certain cases the quality had n 1 been good, and even the persons who shipped the provisions entertained strong doubt s of the articles 1 complained of ever having been put on board by them. The effect of this want of confidence was to increase 1 the cost to the emigrant very seriously. Out of the 1 whole 947 emigrants to whom she referred, there was not a single man or single woman among them —they 1 were all married men and women with their families, 1 whose only anxiety was to provide themselves with proper food; and she found that of bacon, beef, and biscuits they had provided a store for them selves to the amount of 2/. 17s. 6d. per adult. Of that ' sum only 33. 6d. per adult was spent in luxuries—if one pot ofj am for each family could be called luxu ries—so that 2/. 14s. worth of provisions bad been put into the ship by each adult, not because they were wanted, but from a dread lest their proper pro- i visions should be changed on the voyage. Now she thought it would be very easy to meet that difficulty by having a pantry for the emigrants. It om c had been suggested that an Act should be passed tocompel ships with emigrants to carry a surgeon and surgeon's mate, the first duty of the latter to be to see the pro visions when examined by the Government officer; after being approved of by him, the surgeon's mate to take charge of them, and put his own mark on every package, and to see them stowed away in a store-room set aside for that purpose on board ship, the key of which to be kept in his possession ; the whole of the provisions to be served out by the surgeon's mate only, and at the end of the voyage he should have to render an account of the ship's stores in duplicate, together with such remarks as might be necessary on their quality and condition; the one to be forwarded to the owners or charterers of the ship in England, the other to be delivered to their agents at the port of destination. As the health of the emigrants meat depend much on the provisions, the me dical officer was the fittest person to be made respon sible in this matter. What she wanted was to save this sum of 21. 1 7s. 61 . t o the poor working man, because if emigration was made cheaper the separa tion of the members of families would not be so great as it was now. Arrangements for washing and iron ing on board also economise the means of the emi grants ; and nothing tended more to check infection when fevers were about so much as the hot ironing of the clothes.—(Hear, hear.) The next thing the men engaged in emigration ought to do was to abolish the barbarous custom of shaving on crossing the line — (Laughter)—and extorting money from the passen gers to buy exemption from the operation. It irritated the emigrants as much as it would annoy any woman present to be stopped on leaving the room and told that, as it was the first time she had attended Mrs. Chisholm's meetings she must pay 55., or she should have a bucket of cold water thrown over her, unless she " cashed up" immediately.—(Laughter.) Mrs. Chisholm then cited an aggravated case of a boy who was a cabin passenger having been compelled to give is. 6d. to the sailors to buy spirits with when crossing the line ; and afterwards, when he would not submit to still further exactions his head was dipped in a pailful of filthy grease, technically called lather; and an excellent suit of clothes which he wore at the time was ruined. Cases of that kind she said were frequent, and she believed the shipowners had only to threaten to discharge all captains who did not suppress the disgusting practice, which she believed more than anything else intimi dated the stoutest men in Kent from emigrating, and this relic of barbarism would at once be put an end to. She would only add another suggestion, and that was that there ought to be some further improvements made in the cooking grates used for the emigrants, and their comfort would be considerably increased. She would not detain the meeting any longer, as Mr. Lindsay and Mr. Lowe, M.P., were there to address them ; the formei of whom would take the lead in this movement among shipowners, and she hoped that by Christmas next there would be a neck and neck chase, not for the greatest amount of profits, but for the , would speedily and the great business highest character between the merchants and ship owners, and that emigration, which had been too long considered by shio n o e w es n o e f rs .th m e e n re a l t y ion a . s_a (c li h t e tl e e rs j . 7hing , business p a y a humble tribu p t h e il o a f ntiir become their great business Mr. W.

FOR FRANKLIN. i h rts ` h r itw o tenih m niNeetei t ol h eetrm e hot phema T eeytrlr l in n 11,saoktnerusds:wll adventureeeoials tissbitienor t The intelligence received from the Arctic Expsdi • ac complished. It would be premature, afterrifaatitEdwar d g nel interval that hifs elapsed since the departure of Sir John Franklin and his brave companions, to give way to hopes that may prove visionary; but at least we shall know whether all hope of seeing them again alive must be absolutely resigned. This time the icy seas will in all probability be fairly searched; for Sir Edward Belcher appears to have commenced his progress into their secret recesses under circum • stances as favourable as those which attended upon Franklin's own advance. In the case of every single expedition which has been directed into these icy regions in search of our missing coun trymen an inclement sky and a premature setting in of the frost have baffled the efforts of the navigators. There may have been vacillation of purpose ; there may have been involuntary error; such incidents are almost inseparable from all human struggle, but it may well be doubted whether, until the present moment, the utmost amount of energy and skill would have enabled any officer to follow closely upon the track of Sir John Franklin and his com panions. It should also be remembered, in justice to the conductors of all previous expeditions, that, al though they certainly failed in accomplishing the direct purpose of their mission, their efforts have not been without beneficial result. Warned by their failures, Sir Edward Belcher is enabled to concentrate his energies upon a single point, end that point the -one which offers the moat reasona.hle. chances of suc cess. The process of examining these regions with effect is an exhaustive one. Our missing countrymen may have advanced into the Polar Seas by any one of four or five routes; but it was difficult—not to say impossible—to determine a priori in favour of which route lay the balance of probabilities. We are now speaking in some measure at our ease—we are judging calmly after the fact. We now know that the most reasonable hope of getting on Sir John 'Franklin's track lies in pursuing the route by Wel lington Channel; but our knowledge is the result of experience and the fruit of failure. It should be a subject of thankfulness to all persons interested in the fate of Franklin that an unusually " open season" has favoured the efforts of the present searching expedi tion, now that so much of certainty had been obtained. It is very probable that Sir Edward Belcher is ad vancing in the right direction, and it is also probable that he will be able to advance in that direction with effect. Such is, in point of fact, the sum and sub stance of the intelligence which was brought home by the Prince Albert searching vessel, and which was published on Monday last in the columns of this journal. Very considerable efforts appear to have been made by Mr. Kennedy—the gen tleman under whose directions the search was con ducted—and his people to discover any traces of Franklin's expedition that might yet be forth coming, but without effect. Late in June the Prince Albert searched the ice, and proceeded by Pond's Bay up Lancaster Sound. When she reached Bar row Straits, in the beginning of September, the ice had already barred the passage. It was determined to proceed to Port Leopold. At this point Mr. Ken nedy and a boat's crew well nigh met with a death as dreadful as the Polar region could inflict. He had lauded to make inquiries, but before he could return on board a barrier of ice was interposed between the shore and the ship; to crown the misfortune the Prince Albert was carried away by a current up Prince Regent's inlet. Fortunately for the bold ad venturers Sir John Ross had left a store of provisions near the point at which they had landed, and so they were enabled to pass six dreary weeks without un dergoing any very intolerable privation. They were finally relieved from their disagreeable situation by the efforts of M. Ballot, a French gentleman who accom panied the expedition, and succeeded in reaching Batty Bay, where the ship was housed for the winter. From this place Mr. Kennedy and M. Bellot, with a party of fourteen men, set out on sledges, crossed Melville Bay, and discovered a new channel to the westward. Six of the party set out to explore the channel, while the others were sent back to the ship. It is unnecessary for us very minutely to follow the enterprising travellers in their perilous journey, as it may be found detailed at length in the Times of Monday last. Suffice it to say that their exertions appear to have been of the most creditable kind, al though unfortunately not attended with success. No new traces were found of Sir John Franklin and his companions. Without the slightest wish to detract from the merits of the search, we cannot but feel that the most important portion of the intelli gence brought home by the ship's company of the Prince Albert is that which informs us of the move ments of Sir Edward Belcher and the greater expedition. We find among the correspondence which has been received a letter from Captain Pullen to the Secretary of the Admiralty, written on the 23d of August. Sir Edward Belcher had started up Wellington Channel on the 14th of the same month. Now this is the language of the officer who witnessed the departure of the expedition, and was acquainted with the condition of the water at the time in ques tion :—" All were in good health and high spirits, and Itwo thinking i t an h t nkh d e ie n, v 9g e w r t hih y s icvhnhesortpraenvooti open, jestaneu:dc for o ff nrr s s af This rshoemt heev thee s en e yi a sneu s g o m n con io l uf lto c du a o nn r n e ßeechy l p p, 01ept open, n Wellington atnhde n little C e s h o a lo n ur n t e e n: 0 , wi o ci r et ht t o o h t be h re e ts ee w ne e nd s::: a a r c d, both a da ptsaaiinl e w idi e eo r l en in the 15th of August—the day after i Sir Edward Belcher's departure—for Melville Island, to de posit there all necessary supplies of provisions, fuel, and clothing for any parties which might have been dispatched from the expedition under Captains Collinson end M'Lure, and have reached a point so distant from Behring Straits. Captain Pullen in the North Star was to remain as depot at Beechy Island. We will not, after so long and so afflicting a delay, permit ourselves to play upon the feelings of those who are deeply and directly in terested in the fate of Franklin and his companions. All appears to have been done for their relief, if they yet survive, that human sagacity could suggest or human energy carry out. Now or never the seas of the North Pole will be thoroughly searched, and we shall know all that can be known with regard to the fate of our gallant countrymen. It will be an honour to humanity that a deep sympathy with the suffer ings of absent men has roused their country to greater exertions than scientific curiosity or love of enter prise. If ever the problem of a north-western pas sage be solved, that solution will have been attained by Englishmen, not for its own sake, but in order to relieve a gallant band of their adventurous country men from a dreary confinement in the icy regions of he Polar seas. IRELAND. ENCUMBERED ESTATES COMMISSION. DUBLIN, TUESDAY. -"An extensive sale, by order of the commissioners, took place in Belfast on Friday and Saturday, of ground rents arising from several plots of ground, dwelling-houses, and premises, held in fee simple, in Belfast, in the matter of the estate of Mr. Alan Gardner Brown and Mr. Charles Grainger, owners and petitioners. The entire pro perty produces a clear annual income of about 1,8401. 17s. The p ro p ert y was put up in 94 lots, a tew of which were sold by private contract. The amount realized by the sale was-by private sale, 2,3501.; by auction, 30,4501.; gross amount, 32,8001., for an annual income of 1,9401.175. THE NAVY PROVISION CONTRACTS.

We may take it for granted, therefore, that the p assa g e does exist, and that Sir Edward Belcher has entered it. May we not equally infer that Sir John Franklin did the same before him ? It is, at least, good for us to think so, for that is the only hypothesis on which can be grounded the strong belief still cherished by many that some at least of that gallant company still survive to reward the expectation of their anxious country. In the present seate of geographical science it is difficult if not impossible to come to any other con clusion than that Sir John Franklin—not having passed down Prince Regent's Inlet, nor weathered Cape Walker, nor returned home—must have gone up the Wellington Channel and entered the Queen's Channel. It is true that adverse winds or currents may have afterwards driven him to the eastward and southward of his course, and that his vessels may at last have foundered in some of the straits which are supposed to connect those channels with the upper portion of Baffin's Bay. In that case Sir Edward Belcher and the ships under his command may fail to discover the traces of the lost squadron; but the boats and sledges under the immediate command of his surgeon, Mr. M'Cormick, may be more fortunate. That gentleman, a few hours before the departure of the Prince Albert, had started from Beechy Island in quest of a passage from Wellington Channel into Baffin's Bay. The strange tale of the cairn of stones and the bivouac seen on the shores of Jones's Sound by the crew of a passing cvnrer will, at all events, be now cleared up by' Mr. M'Cormick. Some surprise has very naturally been excited by the absence of all de finite memorials of Sir John Franklin's intended route. It is hard to account for the omission; but so it is, that not a document was left by our unfortu nate countrymen at any one of the stations which have been visited, by which their future course could be even guessed at. But it is scarcely less extraordinary that there should have been nothing in Sir John Franklin's instructions—minute as they were—to lead him to suppose that such was the pleasure of the Admiralty. He is directed " frequently to throw overboard a bottle or cylinder," for the purpose of ascertaining the currents of the Arctic Ocean ; but, of leaving landmarks, or dispatches, or any other in dications of his route for the information of those who might come after him, not one syllable is said. Nevertheless this neglect on his part, in a matter where he is not bound to await instructions, is as unaccountable as its consequences have been un fortunate. Shall we conclude without drawing public attention to a matter in which the honour of a great and generous nation is deeply concerned ? Services the most important have been rendered by Lady Franklin to the cause of humanity. Her private fortune has been expended in their accomplishment. The Prince Albert, which for the second time, anti cipating all other means of communication at the dis posal of the Government, has conveyed to the Admi• ralty the tidings of its own commander's discoveries, and of the progress of those of the squadron actually engaged in the Artic Seas, is nevertheless a mere merchant ship—purchased, equipped, and manned as such at the expense of Lady Franklin. Is it credit able to this nation that it should allow such sacri fices to be made for an object which concerns not alone the sorrowing family of Sir John Franklin, but also hundreds more, and, above all, the country which they have served, and in serving which they are perishing, or have perished? Parliament should see to this. (From the .Herald.) The safe return of Lady Franklin's private expe , dition with the glorious news of open water up the Wellington Channel, which was supposed by some to be for ever blocked with a barrier of ice, is a matter of no small moment to those who are deeply inte rested in the subject, and to Captain Penny it must indeed be a source of the highest satisfaction. It will be remembered that it was his " conviction that Sir John Franklin bad gone through the strait leading north-west out of Wellington Channel (which for the present he bad named Queen Victoria Chan nel), and that he bad gone off in clear water, and was beyond their reach." That this will now prove to be the case there seems to be a most reasonable prospect, as Sir Edward Belcher and that gallant young officer Lieut. Sherard Osborne have proceeded in " clear water" into the Queen's Channel, wish the Assistance and Pioneer steam tenders. That they may have passed out of the Queen's Channel, and through Penny Strait, to the north westward, is more than probable. If so, we may fairly hope that before they house in for the winter, they will have come upon the second winter-quarters of Sir John Franklin. Mr. Kennedy's voyage is alto gether so remarkable that it will take its place amongst the foremost of any. A solitary little vessel, of some 90 tons, manned by a few gallant men, dauntlessly proceeds to brave all the dangers of a frozen sea, trusting to the guiding hand of Providence to protect them on their mission of humanity. Alone in that vast solitude of eternal ice and snow no fears disturb them—no dangers appal. The mazy laby rinth of ice is threaded with the utmost patience and indomitable perseverance till the vessel gets into the open water of Barrow's Straits, and happily finds a secure harbour in Prince Regent's Inlet to pass the winter, now rapidly coming in upon them. Preparations are at once commenced to search for our missing countrymen. The noble John Hepburn and Captain Leask are left in charge of the ship, and, for the first time in the annals of Arctic history, a journey, unexampled in every respect, is commenced in the depths of winter to explore an unknown portion of the Polar regions. These brave men, guided by their brave leader, Mr. Kennedy, and his no less brave companion, M. Bellot, of whom Mr. Kennedy says, in his dispatch, " he cannot find words to express his admiration," are absent from their ship for aye months, sleeping in snow huts, fre quently confined to them for days together by stress of weather, and travelling at night over the dreary wilderness of snow by aid of moonlight, and eating snow and ice in the morning as a substitute for cocoa or tea! having little or no fuel ; yet all undergone with the utmost cheerfulness. The noble conduct of M. Ballot, a young French officer, in going out in this little craft, from the purest and loftiest motives, will, we are sure, meet with the universal admiration of our countrymen ; and we trust that the Minister of Marine will in some way mark his approbation of his heroic conduct, remembering that, although in a foreign service, on such an occasion as this— " One touch of Nature makes all kin alike." We cannot expect to bear any further tidings from Sir Edward Belcher's squadron till this time nex , t year, unless, indeed, his passag e throu g h the Queen Channel and Penny Strait was unobstructed, and aces o hef should have come up on further important Cranes su ch moment as to induce him to detach a party to the North Star, and thus, with the Mary yacht, to endeavour to communicate with the whalers in the west waters. This is only an idea which occurs to U 3 as just possible, and no more.

The expeditions to the icy North have thrown no light upon the fate of the gallant seamen who sailed with Sir John Franklin in the Erebus and Terror. Those who have watched from time to time the re sults obtained by each successive navigator who has gone on the search must have noted that the only au thentic and undoubted information which has been gleaned is that which Captain Austin, R.N., and Captain Penny obtained in the autumn of 1850, at Cape Riley and the neighbouring points of the coast of 'Wellington Channel. It was ascertained that Sir John Franklin passed on those shores the first winter of his hazardous enterprise—that during that winter only two deaths occurred amongst the companies of his two vessels, and that in the ensuing s p r ing it squadron again set sail, without leaving be hi nd TUE MARVELS OF SCIENCE, AND; THEIR TEsTI MOWY TO HOLY WRIT. 1 Vol.—This popular manual of the knowledge we possess.

AVERY PARTIAL STATEMENT o f the real fact it would be, were we to mention as many new styles of dress as would fill an ordinary advertisement, the majority would then be omitted. E. MOSES and SON'S new inventions for the Autumnal Season are beyond description, and their universal appli cation to every kind of dress renders them successive series of no velties, to particularize which is impossible ; but it is the plainest statement they can make, and the most likely to be fully proved— that their dress for Youths and Children is wholly reconstructed by artistes they employ exclusively in that line. Their Overcoat De partment presents an array of new styles, securing comfort, gentility and economy. Dress Suits in magnificent materials all new, and cut a. d finished in the highest style. Sporting Dress has received a complete reformation in Cut, Make, and Materials. The Cut se cures comfort, the Make exhibits the most aceomplished workman ship, and the Materials are novel, waterproof, and elegant, at prices much below any other Establishment. PAROCHIAL AND UNITED EMIGRATION. These arrangements are likely to prove beneficial in many re spects ; should they fail in any, it will be expenses incurred by pur chasing unsuitable outfits. It is not at all probable that Gentlemen of business habits will recklessly expend the resources of Parochial or other Institutions on improper and high charged Outfits; but they cannot be expected to possess a thorough acquaintance with the Goods which should be comprised in suitable Outfits. To such, E. MOSES and SON respectfully offer the advantages of their longer practical experience in this branch of trade, and will at any time be happy to exhibit their unequ alled Outfits, and gratuitously supply all needful information to Societies, or to private individuals. The ad vantages E. MOSES and SON can confer in Outfitting are of the most important character—extent of Stock in every kind of Goods, the most suitable articles , a nd the best quality. A separate dear ment for the convenience of Emigrants and their friends selecting Outfits ; an! what is an important consideration with everyone, the prices are lower at E.

CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesmanlike falsehood of "Being conne ;tad with their Establishment," or " it's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons. They beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ',NT OTHER HOUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Sstablisnment, 154, 155, 156, and 157, hituories, 83, 44, 85, and 85, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

There was a defalcation of upwar ds of 2,000/. n his accounts, and it is said he has contrived t o take sums, making a consider able aggregate, from private individuals with whom be had monetary dealings. He has faced the "C alifornian Diggings," but there are two detectives on his " trail." The following d es cription appears in the Hue and Cry :—"Descriptio of n Arthur O'Keefe, a native of Kilrush or kilkee, county Clare, charged with embezzling 2,0001. He is about 24 years of age, and 5 feet 7 inches high, stout make, pale and sallow forehead, is deeply pockmarked, complexion,. very dark hair, dark eyes, round face, broad and has a very respectable appotgauce."_ THE MAIL PACKETS FROM PLYMOUTH. T 11; AUSTRALIAN MAILS.—The steam-ship Mel bourne would be out of the hands of the dockyard, De. vonport, it was expected, yesterday, and if so it will sail to-day for Australia. THE ASCENSION, CAPE, MAURITIUS, AND CALCUTTA MAILS —The Calcutta screw-ship, 1,800 tons and 240 horse-power, Captain Hall, left Blackwall yesterday, at noon, cn route to Plymouth, to embark mails and pas sengers for Ascension, the Cape, Mauritius, Madras, and Calcutta. She has the best freight that has been carried by any of these splensiid new steamers. She has seventy-five passengers, 100,0001. in specie, and 500 tons of goods. A fair test of her sailing and steam qualities will be afforded i❑ the run of this ship and the Australian packet Melbourne, alias her Majesty's steamer Greenock, on their voyage out. The Meloourne, as we have stated above, will most probably leave to-day, the Calcutta will leave on Friday. They both take their departure at Plymouth, and each calls at St. Vincent. Plymouth, no doubt (notwithstanding the apathy of the Plymouth and Exeter Railway Company) is the most eligible port for the departure of those large screw ships, and we feel assured that the Government will con sult the feelings and convenience of passengers going or returning by the General Screw Company's ships, by peremptorily resisting any manoeuvre of interested par ties to substitute any other port for Plymouth. OY.STEII FISHERIES. The correspuudmice between the oyster-dredgers and the Board of Trade has just been printed. The object of the dredgers was to obtain an extension of the period allowed for dredging oysters in the Channel. The ca ricature which appeared during this summer in the pages of Punch, representing a child swallowing oys ters in Jul), on the earnest recommendation of their excellence by the seller, had a better foundation in truth than our facetious contemporary was himself aware of. The memorialists state that within the last few }ears large beds of oysters had been discovered in the Channel at a depth from 20 to 30 fathoms," These oysters (they say) cannot he dredged except during moderate wea ther, and unless they are obtained during the summer mor,ths they will not be obtained at all." From the depth of the water in which these oysters lay they do not spawn until late in the summer, and find a ready sale in the London markets, as thoy retai❑ their quality, and consequently their wholesomeness, in the warm weather. The dredging for these oysters from the port of Colchester alone employs yearly 170 vessels, each numbering a crew of from five to six men. Similar me morials were presented from Margate and from Dover. From the answers of the Board of Trade it appears that tho convention between the F: each and English Govern ments, limiting the period of dredging from the Ist of September to the 30th of April, in the seas lying be tween the two countries, is rigidly enforced; but no such limitation applies to any part of the east coast of &g -land within three miles of the shore. THE LATE MURDER AND SUICIDE. Yeszerday Mr. W. Luker, the coroner, opened an inquiry at the Crown and Anchor Tavern, Nelson street, Stepney, respecting the deaths of William Thomas Elliott, aged eighteen months, who died from violence, and Jsne Collins, aged s ixteen years, who committed suicide under most e xtraordinary circum stances, the particulars of which were reported yes- terday. Elizabeth Mary Elliott deposed that the deceased child was her son. The other deceased was her ser vant. She never exhibited any symptoms of insanity. Daceased was repeatedly complaining of headache. On Aonday ^ morn ing last, at 7 o'clock, the elder c hild, aged four years, came to witness's bed room and said, " On, father, Jane has been beating Billy , o ." Mr. Elliott got out of bed, and left the room. When be returned witness asked him to call Jane. Witness He did so, but she did not answer. went up bed, partially and found the infant lying dead on the partially covered with tile bedclothes. A search was made for the femalo servant, but they could not find her. Mary Lee, a lodger, was called, and said she had heard a wise on the night of Sunday last, before Mr. Elliott and his wife came home. Witness spoke to i Collins, and asked her if sha had been beating the children, for witness had heard a loud screaming. By a Juror—The deceased Collins was very p as ., aionate at times. Had beard the deceased say on several cccasions, "If rny m other was to die, I should cut my throat." When witness remonstrated with her, deceased said, "I could do anything w h en I am in a passion. Th e deceased had made these o b serva tions on a Sunday " evening, while her master and mistress were gone out for a walk. Deceased was very fond of reading the Bible, and generally seemed happy. Mr. road Henry Taynton, of Bedf o rd-place, Commer cial- East, surgeon, stated th a t h e was ca ll e d t o the deceased child on Monday morning last, and faund him dead. Witness had examined the deceased. The appearances externally were not sufficient to cause death, and in the absence of apostmortem examination witness could not say wh at t h e child had died from. Witness afterwards went ti up stairs,. and found the female servant lying do o m n t i h o e floorhole, quit) dead. Sho had just been pulled had two superficial cut wounds in the front ° Of and neck. There was a mark round the neck, which had been caused by a cord or ribbon being tightly tied round it. The immediate cause of her death was strangulation. The wounds were not sufficient to produce death. The witness Lee was recalled, and in answer to the coroner said she had repeatedly heard deceased say, " When I am in a passion I could kill the child, and then cut my own throat." The Coroner said the case was one of a vary pe culiar nature; and that as the invegigation could not be completed that evoning, he should adjourn the proceedings until Monday next, to give Mr. Taynton time to make a proper examination of the body of the child, and to give the summoning officer an opportu nity of obtaining additional evidence. —.
