IMPROVED DWELLINGS for the POOR' It the present moment, when a day of National Thanks giving is appointed, it cannot be out of place to bring before the minds of the Christian public some of the efforts which have been made, and are still making, to remedy the deplorable evils which endanger both the lives and the morals of the poorer classes of society. The SOCIETY for the IMPROVEMENT of the CONDITION of the LABOURING CLASSES has now been occupied for mere than four years past with these objects : It has bnilt a range of Dwellings for the industrious Classes, on sanitary principles, at Bagnigge-wells, Gray's Inn-lane. Here ,-, . tvreaty-three families and thirty single women are accommodated. It has repaired and rendered fit for healthy occupation four houses in King -street and Charles-street, Drury-lane, wherein 108 working men are accommodated. It has built, in George-street, St. Giles's, a Model Lodging House for working men, where 104 persons of this class find a comfortable habitation. It has repaired and fitted up, at No. 75 , Hatton-garden, a house for the Accommodation of fifty-eight females of the working-classes. It is now building. in Streatham-street, Bloomsbury, a range of dwellings for mechanics and their families, wherein about 4$ such families will And geod aid healthy habitations. At Tunbridge Wells it is aiding to raise a series of cottages for agricultural labourers, of which six and a lodging-house for single men are already completed and occupied. Besides these various works, it is in constant Correspondence with a great number of benevolent persons in all parts of the kingdom ; who apply for its aid in the building or improvement of cottages, or the settiug-out of cottage allotments. In these various works it has expended, and is expending, more than Twenty-three Thousand Pounds. For the works now in hand a further sum of between Three and Feur Thousand Pounds is needed ; towards s hich the Committee now solicits the contributions of the benevolent. The following are the sums already subscribed towards the house now erecting in Streatham-street : SUBSCRIPTION,. Her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness Prince Albert - - , . - .

If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or M any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an tie. bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential Spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her bftrY, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read inf,his Pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed. Eaek pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstene, Merchant, lerbary, Highgate, and will be hound at page 11, under the copy of Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th Of August, 154 G. This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two postage stamps. The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on receiving a post-office order for 45. 6d., 7s. Sd., or lie., which in cludes the postage with the case. The lls. size contains four of the 4s. ,_ A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published in the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle. Reader, reflect for a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age, You will remember the thousands of blind you meet with In your Walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward, :tear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause _ the universal use of- Grimetone ' s Eye Snuff ! and because It cured Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Catar let, Nervous Headach, and Deaf ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67 cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq., altered the label, and sanctioned Its sale under order of the Lords of the Treasury ; the letter of protection, signed by Herries. EN., to air. William Gemstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was on account t 11" Ifs ..1.1 1., tees, within tke reach of every poor family. But under this order of Government it is obliged to be stamped.

All letters to Mr. William Gemstone, Herbary, Highgate, near London, at which establishment he continues to manufacture his far-famed HERB TOBACCO, so much esteemed in all foreign parts. The following letter, in testimony of its delightful qualities, is from the author of the " Pleasures of Home :" " Springfield Cottage, Lloniton, Devon, 15th August, 1845. Sir,—l cannot deny myself the pleasure of stating how highly I esteem your Herb Tobacco. I have now found in it a substitute for the choice leaf, hitherto obtained by me from a friend in Constanti nople. lam sure that lovers of mild, fragrant Tobacco would find Oursa great and acceptable gif t, at a very reasonable price.

One half the world are desolately single, and the other "aPPesing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a aeons of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes ens hitterthe latter. The solitary one may shield himself tinder the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un- ObalProsing harry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness sad social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour andjustico demand that health shouldform an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wowed more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if those surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little MEMOIRS "On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vole., Is. each (by post, In stamps, ls. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining thew. They are not intended certainly for mere idle cariosity, but for the closet perusal of those mero deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore. two other rattle publications claim your attention (same price ls. each, lost Is. 6d.) callod " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely PampMets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the sere Ephemeral scribblings of the hodr, but the study of the author's life who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob aerv.toca of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he Worud he done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always On the "sunny side of the way."

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE, i.he Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis puting a Policy upon any ground whatever. The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNER S'HIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested. Oa the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from outstanding debts. There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the equator. No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life.

The First Volume of ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL is new com pleted, and the Proprietor takes this opportunity of expressing her sense of the honourable and coveted position which a generous Public has placed her in. Many difficulties beset the path of a young Journalist which a little experience removes, and most earnest thanks are proffered for the kind indulgence bestowed on the errors which have occasionally marked the Editorial and Practical Departments. The best proof of the Editor's feeling will be found in her endeavours to render the Journal far more worthy of the flattering patronage it receives, and without any fallacious boast, she can promise her Readers a future supply of sound and valuable matter. The most gratifying circumstance attending the extensive circula tion and cordial reception of the Journal has been in proving that a large reading public can be found for a cheap Serial who do not require unhealthy exeitement and mere ephemeral entertainment to gain their attention. Right glad has the Editor been to see that her plain and simple wish to elevate the morals and invigorate the mind, kas been graciously received : for, though amusement is one of the chief essentials, not only of periodical literature, but of our whole lives, it should ever be blended with a principle and purpose tending to advance hamanity.

In addition to what we have already published we ' subjoin the following portion of the rough notes of the proceedings of Sir James Ross's expedition in search of Sir John Franklin : The last accounts from the expedition were from Uppernavick, via the Danish Consul. The ships started thence on the 20th July, and worked up along the east coast, opposite Melville Monument, in Mel ville Bay, long. 75 35, when they crossed over to the middle sea, and finally got through it August 19. They then ran down to Pond's Bay, the western coast of Baffin's Bay, the settlement of the natives, and where the whalers annually visit, and arrived there 2'22 August. No one landed here, but the ships coasting along as far as Possession Mount, reached there on the 26th, and Lieutenant M'Clure and the surgeon of the Investigator went ashore. Here they accidently discovered uncle; a cairn or beacon a bottle left by Parry, b ea ri ng an inscription, " Hecla and Griper," of which they took possession, erected another cairn, and deposited a copper cylinder, with in formation of the objects of the expedition. The ships then proceeded towards Cape York, up Barrow's Straits, on the western shore, where all was clear water, no ice what ever being visible. At Cape York a beacon and flag staff were erected, and cylinders deposited. From this place ice was seen, extending right across Prince Regent's Inlet; consequently the ships stood towards the north, for Cape Fellfoot, upon the north shore of Barrow's Straits ; early in September, and on the 7th of that month, stood across to Leopold, the place of rendezvous, and here getting entangled in the ice, were swept past the island, but subsequently got free and entered Port Leopold, a spacious harbour, with excellent groundings and deep water, 11th September, 1848. Here he immediately deposited three months' provisions for each ship, on shore at Whaler's Point, at the entrance of the harbour. The harbour at that time was perfectly clear of ice. The provisions were deposited with all dispatch, under the impression that the expedition would start the next morning; but on the 12th the significant appearance of the young ice setting in very sharp, and the probability of being frozen in at a more disadvantageous position, Sir James Ross was induced to delay his departure, and ultimately to make this anchorage his winter quarters, this being the most eligible point of departure in the ensuing spring. In the course of a few days Sir James's predictions were verified; the harbour continued to freeze over, alter nately freezing and clearing until about the 24th when the ice became settled. The crew were now employed to cut a canal forty feet wide, leading in towards the north-east side of the harbour, and protected by Whaler's Point from any heavy pressure of ice setting in from the inlet or Barrow's Straits. This harbour was found to be most commodious and safe, with good depth of water and sandy bottom. The ice was perfectly flat and frozen over with as plain a surface as the Serpentine in January. The ships were moored abreast each other, about 20A yards apart. As soon as they were frozen in they were housed over from the forecastle to the mizen-mast, and the anchors were weighed and stowed. The crews then commenced building a wall of snow seven feet high from one ship to the other, to .facilitate communication, and the next thing was the erecting of an observatory for each ship for magnetic observations. They were composed entirely of snow, with plates of ice for the windows. They were six feet high inside, and built of snow bricks one foot thick and two feet long, cut out with a cutlass and well squared and trimmed, these little houses displaying tasteful, varied, and in some instances fantastic forms of architecture. The wall of communication required great attention, from the accumulation of snow. The sun was not seen from the 9th of November until the 9th of February from the ship, but from the top of a hill, NE Cape Leopold, a sight was caught of him so early as the 26th January. During the long even ings, from October till May, schools were formed along the midship part of the lower decks, which were well attended by the young men, who were in structed in reading, writing, and arithmetic, on board the Enterprise, by the clerk ; and a youngster from Greenwich school, named Grunsell, second class the scholars made great progress in their studies during the six months. Ample time was allowed to the crews of both ships to meet each other, and games of football and other exercises relieved the monotony which surrounded them. _ . . During the whole of that dreary winter the only other living animals seen were the white foxes. These were not allowed to be shot, but as many were taken alive as could be trapped, and about 40 were then sent away with copper collars round their necks, upon which was stamped the name of the ships, and the localities of the depots of provisions, &c. As it was well known that these foxes travel an immense dis tance, this measure was resorted to with the view of making them the possible medium of acquainting the missing parties with the means taken for their relief and succour. The foxes were caught in a barrel converted into a door-trap, and to show, the intensity of the cold, it may be stated that the poor little ani mals in endeavouring to escape, often attempted to gnaw the iron bars, when in many cases their tongues adhered to the iron, and were frozen off, when they were killed from motives of humanity. The foxes were facetiously denominated "twopenny postmen." The thermometer at this time was about 15 below zero ; but the Sylvester stove apparatus, which answered admirably well, always kept the lower decks at a temperature of between 55 and 60 degrees. Christmas-day and New Year's-day were kept as seasons of fun and jollity. Double allowance of spirits and provisions were served out, and every one fared sumptuously. The health of the Queen was drunk with devoted loyalty and enthusiasm by the gallant little band ; " absent friends," and " sweet hearts and wives," were not forgotten and the dance and song enlivened the festivities. For a few hours the outward world was forgotten in the joyous reali. sation of the comforts and happiness of home. The crews during the winter were also employed in making tools and portable apparatus for travelling in the spring, and some parties were employed in laying down gravel on the ice, to facilitate the cutting of the passage out of the ships from the harbour at the proper season. The gravel, which was taken from the shore on sledges, was laid so as to absorb the sun's rays, which, acting upon the ice, predisposed it to rot and to melt away. This work very much assisted the arduous task of cutting a canal out of the harbour of 50 feet wide, and two miles and a half long. These and other exercises during winter, somewhat ac climated the men, and inured them to sustain the privations which they subsequently encountered in the searching expeditions. All around Leopold Harbour nothing was seen but snow, rocks 1,100 feet high bounded on each side, and a narrow low ridge inclosed the harbour norOwEird. There were very few icebergs seen from this point. Sir James Ross began to send out detached parties at the early part of the month of April. From the Enterprise Sir James was the first to go himself, and with Mr. Cheyne and a party of ten men, left the ship, and proceeding with a quantity of bread, pre served meats, fuel, and skins, went 15 miles to the westward. Ile was accompanied by Lieutenant Barnard and a party from the Investigator, the provisions being carried on two sledges. They penetrated as far as Cape Hurd. Another party from both ships, under Lieutenant Robinson (Inves tigator) and Lieutenant Brown (Enterprise), and Mr. Adams, assistant surgeon (Investigator), were dis patched on similar service, and proceeded about 15 miles southward. They deposited their provisions about 15 miles north of Elwin Bay. Both parties suffered severely from this expedition, being most of them blinded by the snow drifts. _ _ It was arranged that the principal expedition should leave the ships on the 15th May. The morning did not give any indication of fine weather, for the wind blew high, and the snow was a foot and a half deep. About six o'clock, however, in the evening the weather moderated, and the parties started - with three hearty cheers from the ships. It was composed of Sir James Ross, Lieut. M'Clintock, and 12 seamen of the Enterprise; the first lieutenant, Mr. M'Clure, having been left in charge of the ship. They were absent exactly forty days. They carried with them preserved meats, with supplies of pork, biscuit and rum, and also their sleeping apparatus, which consisted of tarpaulins to spread out on the snow to pL ovent the heat of their bodies from thawing it, buffalo ropes to lay upon, their blanket bags in which they esconced themselves, and racoon-skin blankets to serve as counterpanes ' • they also had two sledges, six men to each, and two tents. They travelled to the westward, from Cape Clarence around the coast as far as Cape Bunny, about 100 miles upon the shore of North Somerset. Here, as we have already stated, they found the coast, which had been up to that time unexplored, trending to the southward. They pursued that course about 140 miles further, at the extreme point of which they erected a cairn, and deposited cylinders therein, with the usual notices, dating them sth of June, 1849. They had by this time shortened their provisions, and the men were so knocked up that Sir James was reluctantly compelled to return. From the extreme point they reached they could seethe coast southward for 40 miles [PRICE SD. further. The ice in this direction was pressed up in some parts to the height of between fifty and sixty feet. They shot, in this expedition, eight ptarmigan and a few ducks. On the western coast they saw the remnants of an Esquimaux hut, and the relics of a deer's antlers, which were supposed to have been there for at least a century, and from the appearance of the ice in this direction there was no possibility of any ships having penetrated in that direction—at all events that season. Every one was on the sick list, with the exception of Lieutenant .111‘Clintock. Many were also frost-bitten.. A fatigue party from the Investigator, under Captain Bird, with Dr. Robert son, accompanied this expedition for five d.tys, and then returned, all of whom were pretty well knocked up. In the course of this journey the whole party were charged by an immens9 bear. Bruin walked boldly up to them, and was only checked in his ad vance by an attempt to fire at him. Of the entire number - of guns levelled, however, the only firearm that went off was Lieut. APClintock's. The ball took effect, but the old gentleman did not seem to care much about it; he merely scratched his head with his paw, stopped within fifteen yards, and then turned his back upon them, and walked off, with a most contemptuous air. The track of blood which marked his retirementin the snow showed that he was wounded. The fatigue party proceeded just as far as the eastern side of Cape Rennell, about forty miles from the ships, and returned, after supplying the other party with their stock of provisions. The second party consisted of Lieut. Robinson, of the Investigator, and eight men. They proceeded down along the western side of Prince Regent's In let, until they arrived at Fury Point. Here they found the provisions of the Fury, all in a good state of preservation; and Sir John Ross's (Somer set House) standing in good order. A tent was erected inside, in which they lit some fires, and here Lieutenant Robinson was obliged to leave two of his party, who were too much fatigued to go any further. With the remainder he pushed on to Crenwell Bay, about twenty-five miles distant, where he erected a cairn and deposited the usual contents. By order of the captain he destroyed all the gun powder at Fury Beach. On returning to the wreck of the Fury he picked up his invalids and came back to the ship after an ab sence of three weeks, having just one day's provisions remaining. This party saw some young seals and lots of bears, but had no time for sport or pursuit. The third party under Lieut. Barnard, consisted of himself, Dr. Anderson, and four men (Investigator). They proceeded to the north shore of Barrow's Straits, as far as Cape llurd. A fatigue party under Mr. Creswell (mate of Investigator) accompanied Mr. Barnard as far as Leopold Island, where they bivouacked for the night. They endeavoured to pro cure a supply of fowl for the sick, but did not succeed. This party witnessed a very natural, and at the same time an easy mode of descent from a height of about 700 feet. A bear squatted himself down on his hams, slid from top to bottom at railway speed, steadying himself with great judgment by his paws in his rapid descent. Lieutenant Barnard fixed a beacon and notices at Cape Hurd, and then tried to push up a short distance to the westward, along the shore ; but as the weather was very bad, the wind blowing very strong, and having only a week's provisions, they were compelled to return at the end of six days. A fourth party, consisting of four men under Lieut. Brown (Enterprise) and a fatigue party, composed of Mr. Court (second master) and four seamen, ac companying them about 10 miles—set off in an easterly direction, across the ice, from the eastern nameless shore of Prince Regent's Inlet. They were absent 7 days, and had exhausted all their provisions when they returned. They had very bad weather, so thick that no observations could be taken, and were obliged to steer by compass (Capt. Cators). The sun was only visible twice, just before midnight and just before morning. They went across to a place called the Peak, a remarkable peaked hill in Parry's chart. Here they erected a cairn as conspicuously as possible, and made the usual deposits. On the east they found a remarkable difference as compared with the west coast. On lifting the stones on the former coast they found small quantities of water. Half way across the inlet the ice was nesfectly smooth : but tQwards " hummocky" that Mr. Brown was obliged to leave the sledges about seven miles off shore, and picked them up again on hii return, after they erected the cairn, &c. In the passage back they sutlered from the snow drift, and the temperature was down to 12 below zero. They saw a flock of gulls, and several bear tracks, during their expedition. During one night, or day rather, a bear must have passed close to their resting place, as his track was fresh on the snow round the tent when the party awoke. Sir James Ross returned to the ship on the 23d of June in the middle of the night, with only one day's provisions left. They were most glad to see him safe again, and all hands cheered heartily from both ships as he neared them. Captain Bird was beginning to be anxious about his worthy chief, and a party was ordered to be got ready to proceed to meet hint the (lay following, had he not returned. As it was a de tachment was sent out to his relief on his appearing in sight. The gallant officer returned the same way he went. A little time was now devoted to rest, relaxation, and doctoring, and as soon as the parties had suffi ciently recovered the cutting of the canal was commenced, the ships having in the meantime been caulked and refitted. The process of cutting through the ice was a most arduous one. The line having been marked out by the officers, fifteen feet and eighteen feet ice•saws were set to work with triangles, and cut on an average %310 feet a day ; four saws, and sometimes six saws being employed at once, the ice being from three feet to five feet thick. The ships first moved a little down the canal about the 6th August, and then, watching and seizing every opportunity, they gradually got down to the entrance; the ice in the inlet having receded considerably from the harbour, created a little motion, which assisted in some degree in breaking up the ice at the entrance of the harbour. On the 28th the ships got in open water, and stood out to the northward with the inten tion of going to Melville Island (as we have before stated) till the ist of September, when on the morning watch of that day, thick weather prevailing, and the wind blowing hard, the ice gradually filled in all round, and finally encircled both ships—first the Enterprise, then the Investigator, in spite of all her efforts to keep out. She at last took up a berth as near as she could to her consort, at about a mile. All commu• nication was here cut off, except by signal, and from this time the ships drifted perfectly helpless, until the 2&th September, when they cleared the pack of Pond's Bay, having drifted about 240 miles. The aspect was indeed cheerless as they gradually ap proached the western shore of Baffin s Bay, a coast which hes proved total to au many whalers. On the 24th they had a strong breeze, and on the 25th open water was observed at a distance of about five or six miles, and as soon as the ice split up sail was made upon both ships, and on the forenoon of the 25th, after crashing through the ice for about 36 hours, they suc ceeded in getting quite clear. The ships now stood right across to the eastern shore of Baffin's Bay for the purpose of clearing the middle ice, and first saw the land October 3, which was the coast of Greenland, called Sanderson's Hope, near Uppernavick. With hafiling winds and thick weather, the ships now made the best of their way southward, passiug an immense multitude of gigantic icebergs, varying from 100 to 300 feet high, and from a quarter to half a mile in length. These tremendous bergs often came between and threatened the ships with destruction, and were a source of perpetual harass, often exciting much appre hension from their colour, or rather their colourless appearance. It was, indeed, a task of no ordinary skill and ability sometimes to steer clear of them. On the 25th the two ships first communicated since they began to drift, and now joyfully ex changed cheers of congratulation at their narrow escape. On the 18th they rounded Cape Farewell, and from thence had a good passage with strong westerly gales, till they made the Orkne y s on the 29th ult., and Scarborough on the 3d of November. On Sunday, the 4th, they got a pilot, fresh beef, and vegetables—a great treat to all on board—and picked up the steamer off Lowestoffe on Thursday night, when from t hat time to Saturday they were employed in draggi n g (they cannot tow) the Enter prise to Purfleet and the Investigator to Woolwich, the latter reaching Woolwich in the afternoon, and the former having been towed up yesterday morning. In the course of the voyage there were shot three bears, two or three seals, many swans, geese, and ducks, and more than 3,000 looms. The vessels will be inspected this day by Commo dore Eden.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Vulture, steam frigate, in charge of Mr. Underwood, assistant master attendant of Sheerness yard, sailed for Plymouth from this port yesterday afternoon. Captain Sir henry Blackwood went a passenger in her to join the Ganges for a passage to the Mediterranean to join his s hip the Vengeance. Soon after the Vulture sailed tiv Victory, in harbour, and the Leander, at Spithead, hoisted her recal, and fired several guns, but the Vulture did not see the signal, and kept on her course. The Styx, steam-sloop, in charge of Mr. Pet ley, master commander of the Lightning, arrived here from Woolwich, on Saturday morning, and proceeded on for Plymouth the same afternoon. The Termagant, steam-frigate, des'gned by Mt. White, the yacht builder of Cowes, is lying in the basin completely rigged, and now that she is painted and furbished up looks a fine handsome vessel. Siie has nearly all her stores on hoard, but has taken in some extra ballast to bring her down to her load draft; she is now 17 feet 2 inches abaft, and 16 feet 8 inches forward. Sho will go out on Wod m,sday to be tried along• the measured mile in Stokes Bay; as we have before stated, she has her armament on board, it consists of 18 long 32-pounder guns on the main deck, of 25 c%Nt. each ; 6 pivot guns on her weather deck, viz , 4 broadside-pivot guns, 10 inch (or 84-pounder), 9 feet, 85 cwt. each ; 1 pivot gun, 68 pounder, 10 feet, 95 cwt., forward; and another abaft; making in all 24 guns, exclusive of her 2 24- pounder brass howitzers. She has about 360 tons of coal on board, and is fitted with Mr. Grant's distilling and cooking apparatus. The " Avenger relief committee " paid another monthly instalment to the widows, orphans, and rela tives of her lost seamen and marines, on Saturday last, at the Royal Naval College. The claimants that are not residing in this vicinity have all been awarded their full amount from the relief fund—but to the persons residing at or near Portsmouth it will be con tinued to be paid by monthly instalments, until March next, when the relief will be finally closed. Sir John Richardson, M.D., has returned to Haslar, and resumed his duties of chief physician of the Royal Naval Hospital. The Seaflower cutter arrived to-day from Jersey to refit. The Court are expected here, en route to Osborne, on Wednesday, for a sojourn of about three weeks. A Board of Admiralty is expected here on Tues day, at midday, to inspect the Leander, GO, Captain Dacres, at Spithead. The Hecate steam-sloop, Commander :Shadwell, is quite ready to embark Sir Henry Bulwer for the United States. The Scourge steam-sloop, Commander Lord F.

The Sheerwater, steam-vessel, having been re paired, went on Wednesday from ilamoaze into Barn-pool. The Conflict, steamer, is to go round the Eddy stone on Saturday, to try her screw, prior to leaving the Channel. The Indefatigable, 50, was commissioned on Thursday by Lieutenant Edge (son of her con structor) for Captain Smart, who is appointed to command her The Hound, brig, was commissioned by Commander Patten yesterday. The Foudroyant, 78, was warped on Tuesday from her moorings to the sheerhulk, and on Wednesday her masts were sent into the yard preparatory to storing. Shipwrights will commence planking the Phoebe, in N 0.2 slip, on Wednesday. Woo',wren, Nov. 10.—The Investigator, Captain Bird, arrived at Woolwich at 3 30 P.M. to-day, towed by the Monkey steam vessel, and brought up at moorings opposite the dockyard. WooLyric'', Nov. 11.—The Monkey steam-vessel, Master Commander Bryant, after towing the Investi gator to Woolwich, again went down the river to assist the African steam-vessel in towing the Enter prise, Captain Sir James Clarke Ross, and arrived with her at this port at eight o'clock A.M. to-day. On going on board the Enterprise this forenoon, it was gratifying to witness the robust and apparently excellent health of the officers and crew, who have recovered entirely from the fatigues of their perilous voyage in the Arctic regions. The Enterprise and Investigator entered Port Leopold on the 11th of September, 1848, and remained locked up in the ice ~,,til_th.o4.oorl•-,rs.n.nt.. -.C. P., CA%.• &AO. 14,1, • AL regions they burned blue lights and sent rocks is up every evening and morning, the Enterprise firing at 10 1. Nt., at 12 at night, and 2 o'clock A.M. ; the In vestigator using her rockets at 9 and 11 r M., and 1 o'clock A.M., and both burnt their blue lights at about five minutes before the rockets were sent up. During the long and tedious days of winter the officers and crew amused themselves by catching foxes, and secured upwards of 100 of these animals, which are nearly the size of the common foxes of this country, only the fur of the former is white in winter and of a grey colour in summer. The whole of the foxes were liberated, after each had a collar put round his neck made of bearskin, and having the names of the vessels, and the captains commanding them, with the latitude and longitude of the place where the ships were at the time, written upon them. Several of the foxes were taken a second time with their collars upon them. The traps used for taking the foxes were empty casks, and sometimes three or four of the foxes would be taken in one day. Capt. Sir J. C. Ross headed the party who proceeded on the ice in search of Capt. Sir John Franklin, and the officers a nd crews of the Erebus and Terror, and the sufferings of the whole of those engaged in travelling over the ice were very great. The party was out 39 days. The difficulty of travelling over the ice is described as very great, owing to the little direct progress made in a day's journey, as the party had sometimes to walk three or four miles along the course of a ravine before they could meet with a safe crossing, and after wards walk a similar distance back on the other side of the ravine, before they could proceed in the desired direction. The route travelled by Captain Sir dames C. Ross and party from Leopold Harbour was along the west side of Prince Regent's Inlet, and the north side of Boothia, and extended more than 200 miles. In their course they visited the place where the Fury was left, and found the peas, flour, and other pro visions saved from that vessel in as good condition as when first put on board, with the exception of the biscuits, some of which had become mouldy. Pre vious to leaving the Arctic regions, they left a large boat which they had cut in two, and lengthened six feet, making a capacious boat of about fifty feet in length, and very strong, and sufficient to hold a whole ship's crew. The engines were also left, that if any of the engineers of the Erebus or Terror were still alive and found them, they might be able to put them together to aid their return from the northern regions. Provisions for six months' consumption were also left about three days' journey from Port Leopold, in Prince Regent's Inlet, in the direction of the place where the Fury was wrecked, and a similar quantity about three days' journey round the entrance to Prince Regent's Inlet from Barrow's Straits. Several of the men had to be taken back from the excursion on sledges, their strength being completely exhausted. The assistant surgeon, a very iatelligent young man, and three able seamen of the Enterprise, with three of the crew of the In veshigater, have diel since the vessel left Woolwich in the spring of 1848. The Enterprise and Investigator are to be paid off at th's port, and it is already ordered that they are to be prepared for proceeding to the Arctic regions again i early in 1850. There are some onboard the En• terprise who have not lost hope of the return of Sir John Franklin's expedition. THE ADMIRALTY.—Rear-Admiral Dundas, Captain Eden, Captain Milne, and Secretary Parker, will leave town to-morrow morning by the express train via Brighton for Portsmouth, to inspect that fine frigate the Leander, 50, at Spithead. The board will be entertained at luncheon by Captain Dacres an board; after which they will return to town via Gosport at half-past five.

THE COMMAND OF HER MAJESTY'S SLUE VEX. GEANCE.—The Earl of Hardwick') having served his time for his flag in the above ship, notified his wish to resign; Captain Sir Henry Blackwood, Bart., has consequently been sent out to relieve the Earl. Captain Blackwood took passage in the Vulture steam-frigate, from Portsmouth, on Saturday evening, to embark in the Ganges, 84, at Plymouth, about to sail for the Mediterranean. _ Vice-Admiral the Earl of Dundonald, G.C.8., Commander-in-Chief of the West India station, sailed from Halifax in the Wellesley, 72, on the 27th ult., for Bermuda.

PARTIAL DESTRUCTION OF ST. MICHAEL'S CHURCH, CAMBRIDGE, BY FIRE. . CAMBRIDGE, Nov. 11.—A disastrous conflagration has just occurred in this town, by which the ancient church of St. Michael's has bee❑ partially destroyed. As service time approached this morning, the church, which is attended, under the ministration of Professor Scholefield, by one of the largest congregations in Cambridge, was gradually filling, when an alarm was biven that smoke was issuing from the roof on the south side. The congregation speedily withdrew, and on an inspection being made it was found that the roof of the church was on fire between the plas tering and the slates. A few minutes only had elapsed before the flames broke through the slates and raged with great fury. The most prompt and energetic measures were immediately adopted, the parish books and registers and the altarpiece (a painting of " The Nativity") were removed to a place of safety. The engines were sent for and arrived at intervals to the number of eight or nine, but many of them, owing to its being Sun day morning, were late in their attendance, and when they arrived the hose was found to be in a lamentably deficient state, and they were otherwise out of repair. The gownsmen turned out " as one man," and main tained their reputation in this respect by doing right good service. Pails and water were soon in abund ance, but much of the latter was wasted, owing to want of system and management on the part of those who had the direction of the engines. No work was too hot or too heavy for the University men ; lines were formed to the conduit on the Market-hill, down Trinity Back-lane,: and through the New-court of Trinity to the river, and down Gerard's Hotel•lane to the same source. Here the gownsmen presented a curious appearance, standing up to their middle in the river and dipping pails, and working at the engines and directing the hose. On the top of the church many picturesque scenes were exhibited, which would have been entertaining but for their melancholy cause. The fire raged with great fury until twelve o'clock, and the❑ fears were entertained for the safety of the organ, which stands at the west end. The west window was consequently broken into, and the case of the organ being broken open, the pipes were conveyed to a place of safety in Caius College, immediately opposite. By one o'clock all danger of the extension of the fire was over, and shortly after wards it was thoroughly got under. The roof of the church, which the fire has revealed to have been of fine old oak, although it was plastered over inside, is totally destroyed, but the old stalls, the fine foliated injury, as well as the handome altar screen. The organ is damaged by wet and the removal of the pipes The fire seems to have been caused by the negligence of a man who has lately been repairing the stoves and flues, and who left one of the latter on the south side in an unfinished state; this was covered at the outside vent with slates, so that the smoke and heat found their way between the roof, and hence the calamity. The fires in the church were lit by the clerk at half-past nine this morning. St. Michael's Church formerly belonged to the house of St. Michael, which stood in immediate contiguity. Anciently the south aisle of the church was a chapel to St. Michael's house, anti the north aisle to Gonville Hall. The bishop's visitations have lately been held in its spacious chancel, which is surrounded by stalls, supposed to have been taken from Trinity College. The church is uninsured, but a fund was instituted for its repair by the benevolence of the late Mr. John Bowtell, who, in 1813, left 500/. stock in the Three per Cent. Consols for repairing the church and chancel; but this fund has been much trespassed on of late for alterations. The exterior of the church possesses no claim to architectural beauty. The damage has not yet been estimated, but part of the loss, which will not fall short of 1,0001, will fall upon Trinity College, the society of which pre sent to the living. The Mayor (Mr. H. S. Foster), with others of the borough magistrates, were on the spot, and rendered efficient service by the maintenance of order. CHILD-MURDER IN THE FOREST OF DEAN.—The neighbourhood of Mitcheldean, Longhope, and the vici nity has been in a stale of considerable excitement during the past week, in consequence of a rumour that a young woman named Parry had been privately delivered of an illegitimate child, and had afterwards destroyed it, and buried the body in a field upon her father's farm. In consequence of the rumour being conveyed to the coroner, Mr. Barnett, that gentleman proceeded to held an inquest on the body (which had been exhumed for the purpose), which was brought to a conclusion on Thursday last, when a verdict of manslaughter against the mother, Mary Ann Parry, and against Caroline Hampton, a companion of Parry's, who lived with her at the time whoa the birth took place, was returned. DISCOVERY 01 A ROMAN AMPHITHEATRE AT RlCH nonouGu.—Mr. Rolfe, of Sandwich, well known for his antiquarian pursuits, in conjunction with Mr. Roach Smith and Mr. Fairholt, have discovered the site and part of the walls of a Roman amphitheatre. The cir cular depression on the hill at a little distance had been conjectured by Stukely to be the site of an amphitheatre, and by the excavations now made this is proved beyond a doubt. The diameter of this fine amphitheatre is nearly two hundred feet. At the last meeting of the British Archmological Association, Mr. Rolfe announced nts discovery at Hichborou g h, acscrioeu twove, upon the hill on tho loft of the road from Sandwich to the Roman castruni. Mr. Rolfe, by the leave of Mr. Solly, the tenant, has tested the truth of preceding opinions by excavating the ground, and the result proves that the hollow was correctly called an amphitheatre, The work is still in active progress, and further discoveries are daily expected. Mr. Roach Smith described parti cuhrs relative to the discovery of nearly twenty early Saxon graves, in a field called Goss-field, at Cop-street, near Goldstone, Kent, the property of Mr. Becker. The graves, which were found by workmen employed in land draining, were covered with flag-stones, and contained skeletons more or less perfect, with which were the remains of weapons, urns, Roman coins, glass vessels, beads, and other objects very similar to the cont en t s o f the graves at Osongal, which is about seven miles distant from the Cop-street c emetery.—Sent Herald. A WHALE IN THE CHANNEL.—One morning last week a whale was observed off Dover, travelling from the westward in the Channel. After playing some antics, spouting vast jots of water, and taking a v i ew , no doubt, of our far-famed castle, having reached oppo site East Cliff, the monster turned round without bidding farewell to the few spectators who had arrived on the beach to witness its majestic actions, and retired towards the Atlantic.—Kent Herald. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. — An improved sys tem of communication in conjunction with the Midland Railway has, by order of the directors, come into opera tion upon this company's line as regards transit east and west during the present month. Reduced charges have been made for season tickets between London, Ilford, Tottenham, and intermediate stations; and an alteration in the general rates and charges, which has for som e time engaged the consideration of the new directors, is to come into operation with the beginning of December. APPLES FOR THE QUEEN. —Mr. Samuel Voce, lace maker, well known at Cotgrave for his knowledge of the natural history of the bee, has a young apple tree growing in his yard, near to his cottags door, which bears a remarkably fine fruit; and this year, the fruit being finer than usual, he thought he would make a pre sent of a peck of these beautiful apples to her Majesty the Queen. The present was kin d ly and graciously re ceived, both by her Majesty and Prince Albert; and a letter was addressed by the Lord Steward to the Rev. Archdeacon Browne, Rector of Cotgrave, to know the character and circumstances of the said Samuel Voce, and a satisfactory answer being returned, stating that, if not in the lowest, he was in an humble station of life, and with a large family, her Gracious Majesty desired the Lord Steward to remit a Post-office order for two sovereigns, as a rem uneration. —Nottingham G uar di an .
