The w here to rnen . le e nd, i ll ' o f the vportir fifty to oseape as the visits of Eequireaux afforded without employing them as instruments of commu nication with the whalers. In the Admiralty In structions to Sic James Ross, that officer is desired to secure the Investigator in the winter of 1848 as near C ire Rennell pri:ible. From that pusi ticn a coneiderable extent of coast, say the Instruc tions, may be explored on foot ; and in the following spring (1849) detached parties are to be sent across the ice by Captain Bird, "in order to look thoroughly into the creeks along the western coast of Boothia, and even as far as Cape Nicolai." So soon as the summer should have opened a passage be tween the land and the main body of ice, the steam launches are ordered to be sent into Lancaster Sound to meet the whalers. 'We have something tan gible to deal with. The Instructions which we have quoted were prepared by a board of eminent Arctic officers ; and we find that a journey from Cape Rennell to Cape Nicolai, following the indentations of the coast in the spring of this year, is considered as perfectly practicable. We say nothing about the re torn journey; but we presume that the boats would not winter apart from the ships. Now, if Sir James Ross, according to the report, passed the winter of 1843 at Port Jackson, Regent's Inlet, and was aware (as the E:quiinaux say he was) of Franklin's safety, it does appear extraordinary that parties were not dis patched by hint across the ice in the present spring or summer to communicate with the whalers—which, be it observed, he is ordered to do. The distance between the two points is very much less than that from Cape Rennell to Cape Nicolai. Mr. Goodsir on more than one occasion expresses his astonishment that "no word has come down from Sir James Ross," as he declares that the officers of the expedition were perfectly aware that the whalers would be in Pond's Bay during the entire month of July. In fact, to re peat ourselves, supposing Sir James Ross to be where the report places him, the road to the whalers was as open to him as to tha Esquimaux who brought that report. That he should have made no communication by his own messengers, nor given any document to authenticate the communication made by the Esquimaux, throws, in our opinion, very serious discredit on the report itself. Finally, it is yet more difficult to conceive that if Sir John Frank lin had been frozen up fur three winters in the spot indicated, he should have spared no volunteers from his expedition to carry the news of his whereabouts to any station through which it might have reached those whom his silence delivered over to doubt, deepening into despair, at home. This is so melancholy a view of the case, that we are glad to find, and to report, that an opposite one is entertained by those who may be considered the great Arctic authorities. We have caused inquiries to be made, and such is the result. Sir George Back, who has had great intercourse with the native Esquimaux, declares " that he never knew an Indian or an Esqui maux tracing to fail ; and after deliberately weighing all the information, he is of opinion that four ships, answering to those composing the two expeditions, were seen some time in the spring of this year by the Esquimaux; but whether in Prince Regent's Inlet or to the westward of Boothia is uncertain." Captain Parry, Colonel Sabine, and Admiral Beaufort are all in favour of the truth of the Esquimaux report. We are sorry to hear, from unquestionable au thority, that the munificent reward offered by Go vernment for the relief of the missing expedition, has had no effect in instigating any of the whalers to search for the ships with the exception of the Truelove and the Advice. Sent out for the one important object of whaling, the captains, doubtless, f ee l th a t unless armed with the fullestdiscretionary powers from their employers, the owners of the ships, they would not be warranted in running any risk by de viating from their course in pursuit of whales. The dangers of the Arctic seas have been again brought painfully before us by the loss of two whalers this year in Melville Bay, and all accounts agree in stating that Lancaster Sound was barred in the month of August by a solid body of ice stretching across the straits to Admiralty Inlet. Thus, in consequence of her lateness of sailing, it is very doubtful whether the North tetar, the ship sent out this year with pro visions for the expeditions, has effected a communi cation with the ships. Mr. Goodsir says :—" There are a hundred chances against the North Star being able to communicate with the expedition this year. Had she only been sent out in time, she would have got through Melville Bay along with the fleet of whalers with the greatest ease and safety up the Sound early in July. We may mention that Mr. Goodsir's last letter bears the date of August 22, at which time he was in lat. 68 deg. 30 min., far too much to the south to glean any intelligence respecting the expedition. * We earnestly recommend our readers who are in terested in the subject of this paper, and desire to follow out the argument advantageously, to procure the Admi ralty Chart of the Arctic S as—which alone contains the names of the various capes, heads, bays, &c. Let them be careful to ask for the Chart corrected to 1847.

Oh! never " bold malice," it poisons our life, With the galldrop of bate and the nightshade of strife; Let us scorn where we must and despise where we may, But let anger, like sunlight, go down with the day. Our spirits in clashing may bear the hot spark, But no smouldering flame to break out in the dark; 'Tis the narrowest heart that creation can make, Where our passion folds up like the coils of a snake. Oh! never " hold malice;" it cannot be good; Fur 'tis nobler to strike in the rush of hot blood Than to bitterly cherish the name of the foe, Wait to sharpen the weapon and measure the blow. The wild dog in hunger—the wolf in its spring— The shark of the waters—the asp with its sting— Are less to be feared than the vengeance (;1' min, When it lyeth in secret to wound when it can. Oh! never "hold malice;" dislike if you will, Yet remember Humanity linketh us still; We are all of us human, and all of us erring, And mercy within us should ever be stirring, Shall we dare to look up to the Father above, With petitions for pardon or pleading fur love; Shall we dare, while we pant for revenge on another, To ask from a Gud yet deny to a brother?

We are assured by a person who has repeatedly made the experiment, that this is a never-failing remedy. TH E POTATO DISEASE.—We regret to have to state that this disease has made very rapid progress during the last few weeks. Crops where the tops seemed to die naturally and gradually, and to all ap pearance free from disease, are in many cases very much sffected. We have watched the forms and progress of this complaint every year since its appearance, but con fess that it is still the mysterious unknown; the effect we see daily, but the cause we believe will ever remain a mystery, —Notts Guardian. ,PLYMO UTII OCT. 11.—Wind E.—A rr d . 10t h , Thane Shirai), Arecibo; 11th, G eorge, Hodgson , Que ee for Ipswich; Peden, Chapman, Q ue b ec for Shore- Lia runewic M. 9ff Port, 9th, Actre ss , P urvey, St. John ' s, New ~''~~ Tlll2, _9O-N, LONDON, SATVRDAY, SPOnTING INTELLIGENCE.

The deficiency, however, was only in quantity, the Prendergast having excited extraordinary interest. Pitsford was backed tine night before, and on the heath before starting, for an immense amount, at 5 to 2, 3 to 1, and 7 to 2; not a shilling being laid out on Bolingbroke for it, although backed freely for the Derby at 20 to 1. The race terminated in the unequivocal defeat of the favourite, to the consternation of his backers, but assuredly not to the surprise of those who saw him stripped before starting. This unlooked for issue of a "certainty" had the immediate effect of springing Bolingbroke to 10 to 1 for the Derby, and Nutshell to 1,000 to 30, taken freely, Pitsford receding to 40 to 1. The betting on the Cambridgeshire also underwent a momentous change, Rathrnines having been backed in the morning for a large sum, and rising to 6 to 1 in less than one hour. PERTH RACES.—THURSDAY.

It appeared from the report which was presented, that since the last quarterly meeting relief bad . been extend e d to 722 in-patients and 761 out pattents. Of those reliev e d on b oard 17 came from her Majesty's ships, 561 from th e B r i tish and foreign mer chant service, and there were already on board, at the commencement of the quart er , 1 44. Of this number 621 had been discharged, and 99 remained on board at the present time. Since the first establishment of the society in 1821, no less than 60,496 seamen, from all branches of the service, had been relieved. The income of the society, during the pa,t quarter, amounted to 2,7681. 7s. 3d., and the expenditure had equalled . that amount. Of the receipts, 2581. were from donations, 1701. from subscriptions, 6301. from dividends on stock, 1291, from tha merchants' seaman's money, and 7461. had been received as fines, levied under the 7th and Bth of Victoria, c. 112. Th e di s p u t e which had occurred with the Liverpool corporation in respect of these tines had been decided in favour of the society, and some arrears of payments due from the corporation had been re ceived. The corporation intended, however, to prosecute the matter still further. The Dreadnought, hospital ship was still in dock undergoing repairs, the Devon shire remaining on the station in her place. During the past quarter a great number of cholera cases had been received on board the Iphigenea, which had been retained solely as a hospital for cholera patients ; the number received had, h oweve r, cons id e rably diminished within the last fortnight. This report was received and adopted, and, after th e t ransact i on o f some routine business, the court adjourned. CHOLERA AND DIARRIICEA. RETURN OF CASES, Ocr. 11. THE METROPOLIS.

Huber was the first of the •risoneis arraigned before the High Court at Versailles. the prisoner is to be first tried for participation in the insurrection of the 15th of May, 1848 He announced his in tention of not employing counsel but of defending himself. The Court, nevertheless, named a member of the Versailles bar to assist him in ease of necessity. As soon as the jury wcs complete, the usual oath was tendered to them. The President again addressed the jury on the case of the prisoner Huber, and the Registrar read an extract from the indictment, relative to the affair of the 15th of May. To prove this case there are 30 witnesses. The prisoner declined answering the questions put to him by the President until he had defended himself from the imputation cast on him by his accomplices in that affair. He proceeded to justify himself against a recent publication of Raspail, and entered into a long explanation of his conduct on the 15th May. He demanded that Raspail, Blanqui, and Monnier should be summoned as witnesses. lie concluded his address at halt past five o'clock on Wednesday, when the Court adjourned. • The SemaphGre de Marseilles of the Bth instant publishes a letter from Athens of the 28th ult., an nouncing the arrival at Patras of 800 Venetian refugees. Several Hungarian exiles, among whom were four members of the Hungarian Diet, had arrived at Athens in the last Constantinople steamer. Princess Be.giosa had also sought refuge at Athens. " Milady Heald (Lola Montes)," says the Sema phore, " passed through Marseilles a few days ago with her young husband. They intended to proceed to Spain by sea; but in order to avoid the quarantine, which passengers from Marseilles have to undergo in the Spanish harbours, they took the railroad on their way to Perpignan." M. Manin, President of the Republic of Venice, had arrived at Marseilles. The Gazelle unaux states that Sergeant Boichot has written to it from Lausanne, to state that there is no truth whatever in the report of a duel having taken place between him and a Spanish officer. The Moniteur says—" The Constilutionnel an nounced that preparations are making at the Ministry of War for the liberation of the class of 1842. That journal is ill informed ; there has never been any idea of effecting such a measure." MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the Londoii New Price Current. 00..12.)

A specia' general meeting of the proprietors of the York, .New,astle, and Berwick Railway, resident in London, was held yestei day, fur the purpose of electing two delegates to attend the special meeting of the company, to be held in Yolk on the 25th in stant, for the appointment of the future directors of the colicen. 'The Hon. Mr. Hone Browne was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN explained the objects of the meeting, and called upon the shareholders to deter mine the mode of proceeding that should be now adopted. Mr. PRANCE thought they had only one matter to determine, and that was whom they should elect to represent them at the forthcoming meeting in York. Sir JOHN EASTHOPE wished, before they went to that business, to have some expression of opini m upon the question of appointing auditors. Much of the mischief that rail ways had latterly suffered from could be traced to the detective audit system tteit had hitherto prevailed, and it was therefore his decided conviction that some alteration must be made in the exi,iting law, to place the auditing of railway accounts more under the control of Government. Alderman SIDNEY perfectly agreed with the Hun. Baronet, and was rejoiced to find that a feeling in favour of Government auditors was rapidly gaining ground. It was objected that no honourable man would uncle: take the office of director of a railway company if he had a Government officer placed over him ; but he, for one, could not sympathise with such an objection. The maladministration of railway affairs had been so glaring and profligate that it was absolutely necessary, for the sake of public decency and honour, that Parliament should take the subject into its serious consideration immediately after its meeting in the ensuing session; and he hoped the suggestion just thrown out by the Hon. Baronet would be adopted by the meeting. Colonel JOHNSTONE could not understand why railway directors should be so very nice about having auditors placed over them. For his part, when he had the command of a regiment and its funds at his control, he was always most anxious to have big accounts strictly examined and checked by an auditor independent of himself, and the meeting might depend upon it that until the same practice was adopted in railway companies, the public would place no confidence whatever in their published accounts. The present mode of auditing railway ac counts was nothing better than a farce, if not a fraud upon the shareholders, and he therefore hoped Perlis. ment would interfere to put a stop to it. Alderman SIDNEY, in order to bring the question formally before the meeting, Moved a resolution to the effect that it was expedient that a public auditor, in dependent of the company, should be appointed, under the provisions of an Act of Parliament. Colonel JOHNSTONE had much pleasure in second ing the resolution. Mr. MAYIIEW would not object to the appointment of the public auditor, but he could see no reason why he could not be appointed as well by the shareholders as the Government. lie was entirely opposed to the principle of Government interference in the internal management of railway companies, and if it were proposed he hoped the Legislature would never sanc tion it. lie moved as an amendment that a public auditor, who should have no interest in the concern, be appointed by the company. Mr. BASSETT seconded the amendment, believing that if the principle of Government supervision were once applied to railway accounts it would not be long before it was extended to the accounts of every species of joint-stock companies. Mr. SCOTT agreed with the spirit of the original resolution, and observed that it was mere moonshine to expect that justice would ever be done to the public by auditors emanating from the shareholders. After some further discussion the amendment was put from the chair and lost, when the original reso lution was carried by a moderate majority. The specific business of the meeting was then com menced, and Alderman Sidney, Mr. Prance, Sir John Easthope, and the Chairman, were respectively pro posed as delegates to represent the London share holders at the York meeting. The CHAIRMAN said it would be inconvenient for him to act, and his name was accordingly withdrawn. Mr. SMITH said, before the meeting elected two out of the other three, he should be glad to hear from the gentlemen proposed whether they had any interest that was likely to militate against their acting im partially. Sir J . EASTUOPE was generally not disposed Loans wer such a question when it was proposed to elect him to an office of trust, but in these times of railway ad versity it was not advisable to be too fastidious on such an occasion as this. He would tell the honour able proprietor, then, that with the exception of a few shares in the South-Western, he held no shares in any other English railway but this. While entering into this explanation it was right that he should express his decided disapprobation of what he con ceived to be a scheme, on the part of the existing committee of management, for electing a certain individual to the post of managing director. He was not in a situation to say that the gentle man pointed to in the report of the com mittee ought or ought not to be appointed, but when he was told that two of the most honourable and efficient directors that had been upon the board of management of this company had declared their intention not to retain their seats in the event of this gentleman being appointed, while another who was then present, and who paid the company 50,0001. a year in the shape of dues, had pronounced an opinion that his appointment would result in the ruin of the under taking, he did think that the delegates whom the meeting selected should be unbiassed upon that ques tion. He felt this the more, because the very piper that had first unmasked the duplicity of Mr. Hud son's management had recently indulged in a most scurrilous attack upon this gentleman, and the meeting ought to be careful that it did not elect a delegate who had been canvassing in favour of his appointment. A PROPRIETOR would be glad to know to whom the Honourable Baronet alluded. Sir JOHN EASTUOPE had no hesitation in stating that it was to Mr. Love. Mr. Alderman SIDNEY would follow the example of the Honourable Baronet, and at once state that he had not the slightest interest whatever in any indivi dual who might hereafter be proposed as the manager of this railway, nor did he hold any stake in any other concern that was likely to bias his judgment in dealing with the affairs of this line. Mr. PRANCE made a similar avowal, adding, how ever, that he saw no objection to the principle of appointing a managing director, since it had been successfully adopted in the Brighton, the South- Eastern, the Edinburgh and Glasgow, and other lines; but he was at a loss to understand what this could have to do with the election of dele gates, inasmuch as their duty would be only to select directors. The task of deciding whether there should be one or three managing directors, and who they should be, would rest entirely with the new board. The CHAIRMAN took some discredit to himself for not having stopped this discussion before. It was hardly fair to allude to a gentleman who was not present, or make use of an anonymous communica tion in a local paper against any one. Sir JOHN EASTHOPE said, so far from its being anonymous, the communication he referred to ap peared in the form of a leader, evidently with the avowed sanction of the editor, and unless Mr. Love took some notice of it in the shape of a prosecution for libel his character would remain unvindicated. The names were then put to the vote, and Sir John Easthope and Mr. Alderman Sidney were declared duly elected, and supplied with written authorities to act as the delegates of the meeting. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the proceedings terminated. BELGIAN EASTERN JUNCTION RAILWAY. A meeting of the English shareholders in the above undertaking was held yesterday, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of advising with the directors on their future policy. Sir Frederick Smith, presi dent of the company, occupied the chair. The following report was submitted to the meet ing : " At the meeting held in London, on the 18th of September, 1849, the following resolutions were passed: " First, ' That the Chairman be requested to convey to the Belgian Minister the disappointment felt by this meeting that no answer has been sent to the proposals of this company, of August last, and to receive which this meeting had been specially convened. That the Chair man be further requested to write to the Minister, in forming him that this meeting , has been adjourned to Friday, the 12th October, 1849, in order to rtcc.ive this answer: and that this meeting does at its rising accord ingly stand adjourned to the said 12th October, and to be holden at this place at one o'clock precisely. " Second, That the consideration of the report of the directors be adjourned till the 12th of October, 1849.' " In pursuance of the foregoing resolutions, the Pre sident addressed to the Minister of Public Works, of Belgium, a letter dated the 19th of September, 1849, conveying to him the expression of disappointment ma nifested by the shareholders, that no answer had been received to the proposals made on their behalf, and re questing him to f avour the board with a:definitive answer, in time for the adjourned meeting to be held this day. " The President also transmitted a copy of the first resolution above quoted. " The agents of the company have made repeated efforts, to obtain, at an early period, the reply which the shareholders had a right to expect, but the Board be lieve that circumstances over which the Minister of Public Works bad no control, have hitherto prevented him from obtaining the decision of the Council of Mi nisters, to whom it is understood the proposals of the company are to be submitted. " But in the interview which the agents of the COM. S U ;~~~. ' 4 lk. ter.

',4167 Public Works, in which the lo.ttur expresses hia regret that it is not yet in his power to make known to the company the decision of the Government, on the subject of the proposals made to him on hclulf of the company by the i'resiclent, but signifijing hie desire to be informed of eel Lain points, both of general principle and detail, with the view that he may be acquainted with the actual position of the company, and its immediate and future resources, as well as with i;s present and ultimate objects. It is hardly neustary to explain to the meeting that this communication from the Minister having only bee a teceivA within the lit few hours, it has bete imposiible to con►ene a meeting of the Board for the purp: - se of such a discussion as would enable the directors to lay herore the shareholders a well matured plan of pro ceeding. . . "It is gratifying, however, to them to find that there now appears a pi otfabil!ry for a solution of the questi at issue, at no dist•lut period; and, as their earnest di:sire is to follow such a course, as may be considered .nost advantageous in all resp cts for the shareholders at large, and looking at the great importance of ti question, they would earnestly recommend that the meeting should appoint a committee, with lull powers to undertake, either independently, or in conjunction with the Board, those negotiations for the company foe which the Mini,ter's letter appears to afford an ( pening." A short discussion took place upon the report, and ultimately it was resolved— " That this meeting is of opinion that it is highly desirable that a deputation should proceed to bring the negotiations with G. vernment to a speedy issue; and that with this view the directors are hereby empowered to name a committee of not more than three shareholders to act in connexion with them for the accomplishment of this object, and if neceessary to accompany some of their body to Belgium, and that the expense of such deputation be defrayed out of the funds of the company." Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting terminated. TESTIMONIAL TO THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES. THE HUNGARIAN NATION COUNTS ON THE SYMPATHY OF EVERY NATION WHICH LOVES RIGHT AND LI-.

Last night the City Hall was filled by a brilliant audience, such as is seldom witnessed in Glasgow. The great attraction of the •evening was Madame Sontag. The rapidity with which she rose to the highest fame in her particular style of singing when she appeared here in 1828, the romance of reality she has gone through since, and the knowledge that she still possesses the fresh full-toned musical voice of her younger days, all contributed to excite a great desire to hear this accomplished musician. No one present last night, we are sure, was disappointed of any of the hopes he had entertained. Time prevents us giving more than a very few brief notes of the earlier part of an entertainment such as we believe Glasgow never witnessed before, when we take into view the acknowledged excellence of three of the individuals who took the lead,—we mean Sontag, Lablache, and Thalherg.. Of Thalberg's performances on the piano it is pre sumptuous for any one who is not a thorough-bred musician to speak much, except to give expression to that feeling of delight which accompanies, or is elicited by the exhibition of great powers of expression, in whatever mode displayed. In this and in brilliancy and rapidity ofexecution, Thalberg is, at this day, we understand, unrivalled among pianists. His two ap pearances were very splendid. Passing hurriedly to the two stars of the evening, we may mention that Belletti is one of the finest bassos that has appeared in Glasgow ; and Calzolari and F. Lablache of themselves would have made any concert go off well. We come to Lablache. He first gave one of his great pieces, " Non piu Andrei," which one cannot hear often enough. His magnifi cent voice filled and more than filled the hall, large as it is, and years do not seem to abate a jot of his fire. The trio from William Tell, in which he appeared with Calzolari and Belletti, was very finely given. His duet with Sontag, from Don Pasquale, where the old Don discovers he has married a lady who has a will of her own, was performed in first-rate style, and very much applauded. Madame Sontag commenced with " 0 lute di quest' anima," and at once established her claim to the repu tation which has gone before her. She unites the greatest power of execution over a voice rick and melodious, with a degree of winning grace and appa rent artlessness which is very charming indeed. In the union of these her great power seems to lie, not in the expression of deep passion. She was received in all her parts with great applause, and when called for an encore in one of her songs, charmed the audience with " Home, sweet home. It was curious to notice how much more enthusiastically the applause was given to this song than to those sung in a foreign l a nguage. The admirable arrangements of Messrs. J. M. Wood and Co. deserve notice, as they contributed so much to the pleasure of the audience.— Glasgow Paper. --- ALARMING FIRE.—BRISTOL, FRIDAY NIGHT.— TILE VALUABLE MACHINERY OF THE GREAT WESTERN COTTON-woaßs DESTROYED.—AbOut SiX o'clock this evening a tremenduous fire broke out in the engine department of these extensive works, and spread with such rapidity that in less than an hour upwards of 2,0001. worth of property was destroyed. The fire-engines belonging to the various offices were speedily on the spot, and stopped the further progress of the flames, but the valuable machinery and a large quantity of raw cotton have been entirely destroyed. The accident will be the means of throwing upwards of 1,700 hands out of employment. How the fire originated no reason has as Jet been assigned. Great praise is due to the firemen, and also to the police force, who exerted themselves must strenuously to put out the fire. Fortunately the building is composed of fire-proof materials, or the loss must have been comalerably greater. It is stated from Beziers, of the 6th instant, that the vintage, which had been suspended owing to the heavy rates, had been resumed with the late favourable change in the weather. The produce, owing to the rot, would not exceed one-half that of last year. The prices ruled therefore very firm. The quantity of wool destroyed by the late fire at Messrs. Gooch and Cousins' warehouse, in London-wall, is about 3,500 bales colonial and SOO German. • ) but tate, per )ere, ;d to ,coli, h; to s 6d; his°, !ons, 10d; 3lbs. loci ; 2d to iules, Had d, 2d n, 4d Is, 2s Ling, e. 120 49% 220 2% 41% 4% 16% 16% 9 2% 21 Os 200 203
