Letters (post - paid) to be addressed to William Godfree and Co. No. 16, Strand. grandly, in the rising sun, was attended by the shallop of tne Thames Navigation Committee." Precisely at seven o'clock, the Lord Mayor, who had previously dressed, shaved, and put on a clean collar, made the best of his way in top-boots towards the river, when "the populace thickly stationed on the road through Which - his carriage was to pais, instantly announced to all who thronged the margin of the river, that—THE LORD MAYOR WAS COMING ! " Mercy on us, what a grand national event ! ! our child hood has been often thrilled by that_ stirring old Scotch song—" The -Campbells are coming ;" but never yet were we so paralysed as by the i.. 4 .7a that the Lord Mayor was coming; had we seen - him, we should most assuredly, in our present delicate state of health, have expired on the spot. To return—" in the second boat, at the moment of embarkation, was his Lordship's yeoman of the house hold, together with the cook, who was busily engaged 'preparing a fire in a grate fixed in the bow of the boat." We here pause an instant, to express our admiration of the chaplain's pictorial abilities. Can any thing be more ex quisitely picturesque ? he gives 'nu a landscape, adorned not only with the usual accompaniments -of wood and water, but heightened by a fat City barge in the fore ground, a Lord Mayor to the right, a " respectful crowd " to the left, and a distance made up of a beef eater, a cook, and a kitchen fire. At about nine o'clock the voyager reached Sanford Lock, where they made their first discovery, viz. that Lord Harcourt had a pretty seat at Nuneham Courtenay. "It is to be regretted, however," says our Reverend Historian, " that we were at breakfast when the vessel reached Nunelmm"—conse quently the party must have been very appropriate judges of the beauty of Lord Harcourt's seat. On reaching Ca versham, they beheld two country savages shambling along on things resembling what in our country of Middlesex would be called ponies. "So mightily pleased was the Lord Mayor with their uncouth appearance, that he hailed one, and asked him to be the bearer of a message to Reading. The fellow Seemed to feel as he never felt before. An honour was about to be conferred upon him alone—to be the avant courier of the Lord Mayor of London."— Minds of sensibility will readily appreciate the extacies of this unsophisticated bumpkin. It is not every one, even in polished life, who has had the good fortune to see a Lord Mayor, how much more, then, must be the delight of a-semi savage who has unexpectedly witnessed a genuine bona fide one ? We ourselves havebeheld nothing greater than a She riff, a real Sher! which sight, notwithstanding, had a visi ble effect on our sensitive feelings; indeed, it is but lately that we have got over the impression. On reaching Hen- , ley, we meet with the following choice bit of description : " The morning had hithert6 been overcast, but the sun, which by this t i me had risen considerably above the hori zon, now began to shine out in all its beauty, and displayed the banners (towels, we presume,) which waved over the vessel—that is, the city barge—with considerable effect." How beautiful, and yet how natural; is there any thing in Claude finer? we conceive not. To heighten the sentiment of this exquisite paisage, we find Ald. Birch a few lines fur ther on, quoting verses addressed by Denham to the river Thames, from which circumstance we hive made two im portant discoveries; first, that Aldermen can quote poetry in spite of their prosaic circumference ; secondly, that they can be sentimental, notwithstanding their devotion to din ners. - Our limits here warn us to a conclusion ; let it suf fice to add, that after a long and perilous voyage down the Thames to Richmond, in the course of which they narrowly escaped shipwreck at-Windsor-hriOge, a storm at Datchett, starvation at Twickenham, (to which pace they were com pelled to put in for provisions, having been actually kept three quarters of an hour without food of any description,) the whole party cast anchor at Richmond-bridge, where they were finally and safely landed, to the infinite delight of the natives, and satisfaction of an admiring naetropolis. Thus ends this memorable voyage, which,in point of science alone, has conferred incalculable benefits on England. By it we have learnt that there really is such a place at Oxford, (the- bare existence of which was before a matter of dis pute,) that it is somewhere in the 50th degree of latitude ; that its inhabitants, though cannibals, are yet, generally speaking, tame and may be approached with safety ; and above all that, notwithstanding its distance from the Man sion-house, it is far advanced in civilization.

Among the voyages and travels to distant parts of the globe, so zealously sought after by the majority of modern readers, we know of none more valuable in its information, more elevated in its diction, or more praiseworthy for the pretty sprinklings of morality and sentiment with which it abounds, than the present narrative (by the Chaplain to the Mansion-house) of the Lord Mayor's voyage to Ox ford, in the year of our Lord eighteen hundred and twenty-six. But, though inclined to rate the abilities of this adventurous voyager at a very high standard, we must confess that we scarcely think him equal either to Bruce, Mango Park, Belzoni, or even Captain Clapperton. The sphere of his action is more circumscribed, and, although he has certainly made discoveries in the course of his arduous and very novel voyage up the Thames, entitled to the gratitude of his more untravelled countrymen, yet_ he has explored no country equal in extent to Arabia, in heat to Africa, or in difficulty to the North Pole. But it ill becomes us, who have never journeyed farther west than Hyde Park, or east than Temple-bar (with the ex ' ception of having been once benighted in the barbarous regions of Whitechapel, where we were very nearly scalped and toraahawked by the savages), to undervalue the exertions of a gentleman, who, notwithstanding the perils of a north-east wind, has voyaged as far as Ox ford; proceed we; therefore, without further preliminaries, to our task. It seems, that in July, 1826 (a never to be forgotten epoch), it pleased the Lord Mayor of London, with that recd for science and gastrcteamy for which his Lordship is proverbially famed—to undertake the intrepid task of exploring Oxford, which, as lie had read in books, was celebrated for the salubrity of its climate and the civilization of its natives. Accordingly, "on the morning of the 25th, his private state-carriage, drawn by four beautiful bays, drove up to the door, at the Mansion house. The coachman's countenance was reserved and thoughtful, indicating full consciousness of the test by which his equestrian skill would that day be tried." And, no wonder ; we can conceive nothing more truly touching than this conduct in a London coachman, whose amiable sensibilities had, no doubt, been previously awakened by a separation from his wife and children. But to resume : On reaching their journey's end, after having been nearly blown up at Hounslow, the party were formally introduced to the Mayor, and that sapient synod, the Corporation, by whom they were made acquainted with the exact lati tude and longitude of Oxford. It seems that it is really a very pretty place (as the Chaplain assures us in a sentence, just three inches and a half long), and that the natives are far advanced in intellect—a fact which appears to have paralysed Alderman Birch, as they were, he observed, at least sixty miles distant from the Mansion-house. The day of their arrival was distinguished by a grand public dinner, at which the two Mayors of town and country, made speeches at each other, all of which (though not precisely such as Demosthenes would have made) the Chaplainhas most religiously embalmed. The next morning was set apart for exploring the curiosities of this distant country ; among them were the Bodleian and Radcliffe Libraries, on which occasion Alderman Magnay, (now, alas, defunct) observed that "this here book-case, was far from being equal to that ere book-case." From the Libraries the party proceeded to the Theatre of Anatomy, where Doctor Kidd kindly pointed out to their attention " a por tion of the alimentary canal of the Turtle," which an in quisitive Alderman at first mistook for a portion of the Caledonian Canal, until fortunately set right by the Re gius Professor of Medicine, who moreover informed the voyagers that " for their nourishment there is a cavity contrived on each side of the jaw -bane; that the grinders are behind, because chewing requires considerableforce, and that the cutters are placed in front ready, for their easier work." All this was of course highly interesting to these citizens, one of whom, with a smile of peculiar waggery, remarked that he was glad the cutters were placed in front, as in that case they might cut and come again. But " the day," —says our Theban historiographer " was now wearing on, and the Lord Mayor proposed that they should return to the Inn and take some refreshment. No one felt dis posed to decline this proposal, for the refreshing fragrance of the air (quere, dust) which breathes round the Radcliffe Library, had made the party by no means incapable—spite of a most substantial breakfast—of doing honour to a copious luncheon." It will gratify the public to know that this luncheon took place at two o'clock, as also that " the sun was shining full upon the Oxford Gardens at the time of the Lord Mayor's visit to them," which conduct we cannot help observing, was highly respectful on the part of the sun, who entertained no doubt a most exemplary sense of the honour done to his brilliancy. After walking till near six o'clock the party returned to the Star, where, in impo s i ng gran d e ur, they prepared to receive their guests. " On this occasion"—adds our historic Chaplain, "the ladies sat longer than is usual at most tables," and after an evening s syerit, as N ews p a pers would say, " in the utmost harmony," retired to their respective apart ments; the ladies attended by the chambermaid, with a warming-pan, and the gentlemen by boots, with a flat candlestick. The next morning was appointed far the momentous business of embarkation ; " the state-vessel (our sensibilities are shocked at being compelled to call it the City Barge,) oa the sides of which ten splendid scarlet silk banners* brightened, as they waved gently, yet • We learn from good authority that the ten scarlet banners which waved so grandly in the sun, were nothing more than ten •old towels, five of which were borrowed from the waiter at the Stir, st sixpence or sevenpence, we forget which, s-beed.

HORRID MURDER.—II is With regret we lay be fore our readers the following particulars of a most horrid murder, committed on Monday last, in a part of Devonshire rarely marked by the commission of so atrocious a crime; jealousy appears to have provoked the horrid deed. The perpetrator is said to be in tolerable circumstances, and at present has escaped from Justice. Yesterday an inquest was held in the parish of Ashbury, in this county, by Francis Kingdom, Esq., one of the Coroners, on view of the bodies of Miss Sarah Glass, aged 24, and Master Thomas Glass, aged 14, who were found lying in the morning on Wadland Downs, two yards from each other, with their throats cut, It appeared by the evidence, that the deceased left their homes about a quarter past seven o'clock the preceding evening, for the pur pose of meeting the mother of the deceased Sarah Glass, on her return from her son's, who lived at Northlew ; and that, in going to Northlew, they had to pass over Wadland Downs, where the murder had been committed. The mother, who was on horse back, returned over Wadland Downs about a quarter past nine ; and, on her entering the Downs, her horse startled, which it had not been accustomed to do. On the following morning, about a quarter past seven o'clock, Mr. Tucker and his servant had to pass over the Downs, when they discovered the dead bodies on the ground ; there were a lantern and hat near where the bodies lay, and a butcher's knife near the body of Sarah Glass ; a hand- kerchief lay over the body of Thomas Glass, which had been cut in two pieces, and which, it is presumed, had been stuffed into the mouth of the deceased ; and that, while the boy was pulling it out, the murderer cut his throat, and in doing it cut the hand kerchief also. The bodies were found at the place where Mrs. Glass's horse had startled on the preceding night, and Where, no doubt, the murder had been committed. The knife and handker chief before alluded to, were identified to be the property of Thomas Friend, who has absconded.—The Jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against Thomas Friend, and the Coroner imme diately issued a warrant for apprehending him. Friend had lived for eleven years in the service of the mother of the deceased Sarah Glass, and during that period had saved money. It appeared that he had repeatedly solicited th e aff ec ti ons of the deceas ed which she had refused.

'Lord Viscount Melville and the other Lords of the Admiralty proceeded yesterday to Deptford for the purpose of inspecting his Majesty's ship Hecla, previous to Captain Parry sailing for Spite bergen ; when their Lordships, after minutely examining every part of the ship, and the various combinations of her -equipment, expressed themselves highly gratified at the ingenuity displayed in the details of the specific arrEngements, with the nature of which they were no doubt before acquainted. The ship was cer tainly in high order, and replete with every modern nautical im provement, according to the opinion of naval officersrwho visited her in considerable numbers. His Royal Highneee the Dike of Clarence was expected, but did not arrive; nor did any other member of the Royal Family condescend to visit the Heala - on the present occasion. Amongst the curiosities shown to Ale risitess crowding on hoard, an extremely compact and portable cooking apparatus, in tended to be used on board the boats, attracted universal atten tion. It consists in a round iron vessel tinned-over, about twenty inches in diameter, inclosing a number of smaller cups and metal utensils, which may be suspended on the outside, and can be heated by a pint of spirits of wine ; and perpetual matches, or lamps, to dress breakfasts and other meals with. Snow is thawed, and used for water, without the least prejudice to health ; Captain. Parry and his men having for three years tasted no other water, without any instance of its producing glandular swellings in the neck, or other disiases generally attributed to snow water. Cocoa, or chocolate powder, bread powder of exquisite flavour and taste, and pemmican (or pulverised concentrated spiced meat), consti tute the other ingredients of their nourishment while absent from the ship, en the ice, or in the boats, which Captain Parry trusts will not be long—neither will the voyage, for he experts to return to England before winter sets in. The Captain's great cabin, although secured by double-windows, is still the coldest part on board the whole ship, b e i ng a t the greatest distance from the stove, the vibration of the calorie being consequently there most feeble, as the heat of the flues or air pipta diminishes in proportion of their receding from the fire in the great stove. Thus, the crew cannot complain that their Com mander is better protected against the inclemency of the weather than themselves (a species of self denial, the practice of which secured to Captain Cook the greatest affection of his men, be showing them that lie shared all their hardships.) There is, to be sure, a small separate fire-place and chimney in the great cabin, but this bears no proportion to the size of the apartment itself, and cannot, therefore, materially affect its temperature. Amongst other things deserving particular attention, there is a modal of an Arctic-sledge (generally drawn by dogs), presented to Capt. Parry, by a Russian Admiral. Likewise a case, containing specimens of insect--butterflies of large dimensions, and beautiful colours--natives of the. Polar Re gions ; and a variety of scarrabtei ; amongst them a sic:a-rams' cornutus, with a plurality of ominous exctescences. There are other insects of the grasshopper species, of gigantic dimensions, one of which may at first glance be taken for a large reed, ;Data its legs are perceived. Some of the lesser kinds resemble the cock-roaches of the West Indies in form and colour. The mosqui toes of the high Polar latitudes are said to be very numerous, and much larger, though neither so venomous nor so troublesome es their fraternity within the tropics; neither were any mosquito nettings provided for any of the officers. It would be endless to enumerate the variety of objects this ship is provided with, not only for securing the comforts and conveol ences of the officers and crew, but likewise the ultimate success of the voyage. During the last North-west Expedition his Majesty's ship Fury was supplied, however, with instruments which it may be proper to mention—namely, a propelling apparatus, of a me chanical construction—probably that invented by Lieut. Burton, R. N., which, however, did not answer its intended purpose, as it appears, from the description of the officers who went out in that expedition, as it required to be worked by manual labour, when the greatest exertions of animal force, the united musculkr power of the whole ship's company, could not keep it in motion► for longer than half an hour at a time, and then the resistance overcome (this being the true measure of the labour done), was by no means equal to the great efforts it required. Nay, the ulti mate loss of the Fury is the strongest proof that can be offered Ut show the inefficacy of the contrivance, as, if it bad produced. the effect intended, the ice could never have crushed the asst-iron machinery on both sides of that ill-fated ship, as it did, .lika so much glass or china-ware; yet, after this failure, no means hays been adopted to secure his Majesty's ship Hecla, on the most ea casion, against similar disasters.
