FOR THE SUN. —.op—. ON TRACING THE NORTHERN LINE or THE COAST OF NORTH AMERICA. MR. EDITOR—The happiness and joy every individual feels at the safe return of Captain PARRY in the Hecla is the occasion of this com munication. If the observations here offered are useful, it will afford the greatest pleasure to the Author. When Captain LYON sailed alone for Repulse Bay, where the Hecla and Filly (in Captain PARRy's second voyage) were near being lost in that frozen strait, it was not diffi cult to foresee that Captain LYON would fail in the attempt. :•But, had Captain LYON sailed to the southward and westward of Southampton Island for Wager River, he would only have met with ice .of one year's formation. If any reliance can h e placed on the Esquimaux chart of Melville Peninsula, the distance from Wager River across to the Arctic sea cannot be above 20 miles.' 'With boats of a similar construction to those taken by Captain FRANKLIN, the north. ern coast of America can be traced as far as Cape Turnagain, and the party to return imme. diately. It will be unnecessary to trace the western coast of Melville Peninsula, after ascer taining that it tends to the north, and which will sufficiently confirm the truth of the Esquimaux chart. If two ships are sent to Wager River in the spring of next year, victualled for two years, and provided with a few horsei, the tracing the Northern Line of the American Coast will with ease be attained, when Captain FRANKLIN and Dr. RICHARDSON have completed their journies, of the success of which there cannot be a doubt. Wager River abounds with salmon, and the country is not high nor precipitous as the shores of Repulse Bay. Deer, hares, and white grouse will be found in abundance on the land that bounds Wager River. If two ships are sent to Wager River next spring, what use can it be to send the undaunted and persevering Captain PARRY on a fourth voyage ! What he has al ready achieved will immortalize his name ; and .the House of Commons have the power to remu nerate him for his services. A CORRESPONDENT. BRITISH AND FOREIGN SEAMENS' FRIEND SOCIETY. Yesterday evening the Sixth Anniversary of this valuable In stitution was held at the City of London Tavern, 13ishopsgate. street. At six o'clock, the Right Hon. Lord GAMBIER was unani mously called to the Chair. The Noble Lord briefly adverted to the many advantages attending such an Institution, and ex pressed a hope that it would continue its course of usefulness and prosperity. The Secretary, Mr. PHILLIPS, here proceeded to read a very satisfactory and detailed statement of the proceedings of the In stitution in the various parts of the kingdom ; and on the whole it presented a very flattering picture; and one which must prove exceedingly grateful to the friends of moral improvement of so valuable a portion of the community, as the seamen of Great Britain. Branch Institutions have been extended to several inland towns who have sent handsome donations to the parent Institution in London. Several i•eligious tracts were distribut. ed amongst the sailors of France, Holland, Sweden, Denwark, &c. The Report regretted that so little progress was made in Russia ; but hoped that .the light of the true religion would :loon dispel their darkness. At M a lta, th e B e th e l flag was hoisted, and in several parts of the Mediterranean. In Africa the Gospel was preached to sailors, and the same took place at Calcutta. Pious efforts were not wanted in China, and even at the Sandwich Islands the sacred sounds of religion were to be heard, coming from pious and serious Missionaries a , we ll as Captains. In North America. there were many useful Bethel Institutions, and in the South American. Republics efforts were making to extend the blessings of such pious .labours. The Report was received with great applause. Captain Ar.Lxx read the report of toe finances, which, though not in the most flourishing circumstances, still affbrded hopes that the Institution would continue to receive the counte nance of the public. Rev. Mr. GURNEY congratulated the meeting on the pro gress of so extraordinary an institution—an institution whose .name, use, anti benefits, were known and appreciated over the whole world. They were not to measure the value of this So ciety by its income and expenditure, which were but trivial, but by the blessing which it spread wherever it was known._ The most delightful intelligence had been conveyed to the meeting in the report which they had just heard ; and be all due praise given to that Providence who had set his favour upon their efforts. They were all now called upon, as Christians faithful to their God, to continue their efforts anti stimulate •others to follow up the work of benevolence.-(Applause.) Rev. Mr. BUTLER (New Zealand) thanked the Almighty for all the civil and religious immunities which they enjoyed as British subjects. He never rose with greater pleasure than on the present occasion, where so many persons were assembled to gether in unity and love to improve the moral condition of so valuable a class of men as British seamen.—(Applause.)—llls vessel might be a dull sailer, but a sounder bark never dared the ocean. They were armed with the word of God, and, if God were with them, who could be against them ? He had not Went to treat this subject as it deserved, but the love of God still constrained him to come forward with his mite of assistance. He must here say that the seamen were ever ready to receive in struction ; whether he preached "to them on board ship or on shore, they always conducted themselves in the most becoming manner. Their example had the best effect on foreign seamen, and, he trusted in God, it would continue to do so. He la mented the number of seamen wrecked annually on our shores, without, perhaps, having any knowledge of God, or of the saving atonement of Jesus Christ. Such a consideration was awful indeed. Seamen had immortal souls as well as others —and why . should they not he made partakers of the com mon salvation ? Many people said that the heroic courage of our sailors suffered by the introduction of genuine religion, but his experience enabled him to deny it. True re ligion Inspired. confidence—true religion had nothing to fear, and if it took away a savage courage, it was the only tower of strength in which any man could rely. Our Saviour took first care of sailorsL-Peter and Andrew, and James and John, were sailors, fishers of men, whereas we have made them the last— and in this the world might be said to be turned upside down. Our Saviour was always fond of fishing, and in one haul caught three thousand fishes.—(Applause.)—He would only now ad vert to one more topic,. and would ask what could be done without sailors ? They contributed to the greatness and glory of this &eat country, and should not be forgotten nor abet:- donee!. He was glad to hear that chapels were to be erected in the River Thames, which bore upon it every day not less than five and twenty thousand souls, and he trusted to the blessings of God to promote the building of others to his .own glory.— Fle trusted they would never cease ih•their exertions until the Bethel flag was found to float in every quarter of the world.— (Applause.) Rev. Mr. SMITH (Penzance) here read an extract of a let ter, from which it appeared that 280 persons were wrecked in the Northern Coast of England in the course of the last year, and in the North of Europe about 3,000 persons. The know ledge of such melancholy facts slould induce this meeting to preserve religious instruction for seamen and their families.— He did not believe that any Briton could oppose a society like this ; or that, in doing so, he could have the feelings of a man or the religion of as Christian.—( Applause.) The Rev. Mr. MARKS drew a feeling picture of the horrors of shipwreck, which he had known while for many years in the Navy. He felt convinced that the divine impress was stamped in a most pre-eminent manner on the Bethel Union. He was sorry to find something like an apathy on the part of a portion of the public relative to this Institution. He did not of course allude to the present company, whom he believed to have been brought together by generous hearts and kind feelings. Be re gretted that there should be. any scepticism as to the neces sity of promoting the moral welfare of the British seamen. Every one knew what oaths and impurities were used in the sea service: and it could only be a mercy from God, that those who blasphemed were not made instant victims to the wrath of the Most High. If it were admitted that blas phemy and impurity were evils, then they were bound to find- a remedy for, such evils. He begged leave to refer them to that little Blue Jacket, The Sailor:' Magazine, which would disclose events to them, about which there now seem ed to be some doubt. Much bad Amex done, but much still ' remained to be done, and he implored the God of peace and mercy to prosper the glorious work in which they were engag ed.—(Applause.) The Rev. Mr. LLOYD observed, that as there was a set time for every thing ordained by Providence, so the present appear. ed to be the time at which favourable efforts were to be made in favour of British seamen. The broad seal of Heaven was . set upon this Institution, and it must and would prosper, al though to human appearance, its means were so St - 11 and so inadequate. Rev. Mr. SMITH (Penzance) read an extract of a letter from an aged sailor, who was now laid up in ordinary, but who en joyed a pension for his services, and who was a friend to the religious improvement of seamen. He devoted his time when a young man to the defence of his country, and lus age he was devoting to the work of God, and the propagation of his sacred name. The Rev. Dr. Mon arsosr observed that so much had been said in the course of the evening on the object of this Institu tion, that he would not enter further upon it. He bore testi mony to the incalculable blessings it conveyed, and he would now proceed to say a few words with respect to the state of reli gion of the sailors trading to Canton. The deaths of sailors there were about 200 annually, without the presence of any Clergyman to soothe their last moments. There was one Be. thel flag hoisted there, but that was by no means enough. He had himself written for assistance to America, and to other places, but as yet he had obtained no satisfactory answer. Per sonal service was absolutely necessary to preserve the seamen in the paths of morality and religion. It so happened, how ever, that people only felt for their own immediate wants, and forgot those of their fellow-creatures at a distance. But cha lrity should not be so exclusive; our thoughts should be enlarged and elevated from earth to heaven, and we should thank the Lord for all that he had wrought for them. The Most High never refused his eTace to those who truly sought it, and he would not deny his protection to an Institution so well de signed, so well conducted, and so successfully followed up. Long did he trust that it would continue to spread its bles sings on every shore and every sea throughout the world._ (Applause.) • The Rev. Mr. EVANSON said, that as a Clergyman of. ths Estanushed Church, he now came forward to lend his support to an Institution so truly beneficent as the Bethel Union.—( 1 p_ lause.)—He had every hope that it would be encouraged as it deserved, and that British seamen, who were our main-stay in. a naval and commercial point of view, should be no longer left without the means of religious instruction. Here the Rev. Mr. SMITH stated to the Meeting that he had received 111. 10s., being a collection made by a young man residing in Leman -street, Goodman's-fields.—(Loud ap plause.) _ The Noble CHAIRMAN said, that he could not allow the meeting to separate without expressing his cordial approbation of the Bethel Union, and he prayed that every blessing would continue to be poured upon its labours. The Rev. 31r. HENDEnsoN observed, that the horrors of ship-wreck had been feelingly touched upon this - evening; but oh ! did the meeting know what it was to sink loder the bil lows of Divine wrath, they would not lose a moment in enabling the seamen to avoid so dreadful a destiny. The sailor had an immortal soul, and it should not be left to starve and perish everlastingly. lie congratulated this meeting on the advan tages already conferred by this Society ; and it afforded him some little consolation to think, that while he was in Russia he was enabled to assist them in their pious labours. Several Resolutions declaratory of the objects of the meeting were proposed and unanimously carried. The Rev. 31r. SMITH here observed, that several Chaplains of ships who had forwarded the objects of the Bethel Union were now present, and lie should like to hear 'them tell their own story. Captain SIMPSON then came forward, and, in a very modest manner, stated what he had done in forwarding the prayermeet ings, anti referred to th e S a il or ' s Magazine for details with which he would not trouble the meeting.—(Applause.) The Rev. Dr. BoortißOYD admitted that en impression had gone abroad that sailors were so depraved that no preacher could make any impression upon them, but after what he had heard this evening, and after his own experience, he must altogether protest against so unfounded an imputation. Though liviro , a distance from th e me t ro p o li s , h e p rom i se d t h e meet i ng that he would do all in his power to forward the blessed labours of the Bethel Union. A President and other Officers for the ensuing year were then appointed. Thanks were voted to the Noble Chairman and the other Officers of thc. Incaution, who returned thanks, and the meet ing separated. A handsome collection was made at the doors. DREADFUL MURDER. A YOUNG MAN KILLED 1W HIS GRANDFATHEIt• Yesterday morning Mr. William llorwood, re riding in Union-street, Shadwell, and who is in his 70th year, was !nought before Captain RICIIIIELL, at the Thames Police Office, charged with the murder of his grandson George Ear. ton, who was 25 years of age . Th e p r i nc i pa l evidence was the prisoner's housekeeper, Ann Hill, who stated that the deceased had received a licence from the prisoner to take his meals at his house when and at such times as he pleased ; ha came to the prisoner's house on Wednesday evening, and asked for some meat; I cut some for him, which he objected to ; while I was remonstrating with him on his objection, the prisoner entered ; decayed again renewed his objections to the meat, and the pri-' Boner said, you must have it fairly cut off; I said I had cut it NO, and the prisoner then told the deceased " that if he did not like it he must walk out and not come there again." The de ceased then made use of the most infamous language and said, " money he wanted, and money he would hale," and lancing himself in a fighting attitude, called his grandfather a most horrid name, said he would have his life, and then struck him a blow. The prisoner in return struck him with a dagger. The Magistrate asked why Mr. Horwood had armed himself with a dagger ?—Witnes4—He used to keep it about him for these some months past, in order to protect himself, as the de ceased, who was a very bad character, threatened that he wont.' murder him, or get some of his companions to do so. After the deceased was stabbed, he staggered from the back parlour, where the blow was given, to the front door, on which he sup ported himself. I went up and asked what was the Matter with him ? He made no reply, but groaned heavily, and instantly tell to the ground. He never spoke from the time he received the fatal wound. I called to the prisoner to procure some assistance, and he went into the street, and in a few minutes returned with a watchman, who, with an officer, took him into custody. The dagger was here produced ; it appeared of foreign manufacture; the blade, which was about eighteen inches long, and of a peculiar form, was so covered with blood, that the material of which it was composed was scarcely perceptible. The witness at once identified it. The wretched prisoner on its production closed his eyes and shud dered. Several other witnesses were examined : some of them proved having met the prisoner in the street, after the occurrence. He was inquiring for an officer, and intended to give himself up to justice. Another proved that he saw the deceased lying in the passage, and the prisoner leaning over him. Ile said, " I have done the deed ; I have murdered him with a dagger." He also said that the deceased had been quarrelling with him, and had abused him from RatclifFe Crosq to his house. The Surgeon who examired the body, proves Oat such an instrument as the dagger produced tied inflicted the wound which was in the deceased's left side, between fir : fourth and fifth ribs.—The prisoner was then remanded until this day, and, in the mean time, the Coroner's Inquest will be held.— It appears that the deceased was respectably connected, but, having formed an acquaintance with bad characters, he was deserted hy all his relations, except his grandfather, and who unfortunately has occasioned his death. We wish that the laws relating to suicide were altered. There is, in fact, little wisdom in legislating on such a subject at all ; for a man who is determined to put himself out of the world, will not care much for its ordinances. No laws can of course reach such a is se, and we think it is a mere mockery to have a Jury empannelled, so swear, that a man who has ',dined himself was mad. Would it not be better to save all this nonsense, and let the only question to be inquired into be, how the person on whom the inquest is held died, and not to ask any questions as to the motives of his death. At present the complaint made in Hamlet by the Gravedigger, thdt favour is shown to the rich in the important privilege of killing themselves is so true, that any respectable person may cut his throat, without any fear of , elo de se being pronounced against him ; and we cannot conceive any class of people whom the existence of such a power can either gratify or frighten.— ( New Times.) LAMENTABLE ACCIDENT AT PORTPATRICR.— We have been informed by the guard of the Galloway mail, that on Thursday, the 13th inst., between five and six o'clock in the evening, a bullock boat, having on board eight men, one woman, and a child, besides z number of cattle, which was on its passage- from Donaghadee to l'ortpaWck, went suddenly down, when within about a mile and a half of the latter place, and carried to the bottom every creature within her. As she thus vanished like th e " b ase l ess f a b r i c o f a v i s i on ," without leaving a single " wreck behind," nothing as yet has been learnt of her name, or that of her owner, or how the accident occurred.—( Dumfrite Courier.)

TO THE EDITOR: : OF THEIUN. • - Sitt—.l am induced : ;'from yot well-known kindness in the cause , o 7 fllumanity,to send you a most truly distresSing case, viz.:.•-The father of these children was an old officer c the half-pay of the Royal Marines, who, ha( once a good estate in Kent, but which, from his too great liberality, he mortgaged for abov(20,0001. The mortgagees sold the property fo less than the mortgage. This hastened his en, and he died in March, 1823, leaving a whlw with seven children totally destitute. The late Capital' James Macky, of the 70th regiment, a brother to the father (these children, immediately took the whole firmly under his pro tection, aod,with the assistance oh small subscrip tion, supported them. The widomoon a fter died of broken heart, leaving these orphns to the care of their Uncle (since vl hick one chi". had also died). This truly good man . (who hainothing but his pay to live on) was a father to hem ; but, alas worn out with disappointment, arxiety and grief, about the future provision of hese orphans, he died at Winchester, on the 6thof July last. By his death, these six children (for girls and two boys) are left without any meals of support.— With a view to save these ['Cow orphans from a worse fate, Sir James Cockburn, Bart. the Rev. Archdeacon Cambridge and thyself have under taken to do the best we can In them, and our names have'also appeared as trustees, &c. for any which may be collected for them. The father of these children went to half-pay at ,his own request, by whielt act he deprived his family of any benefit from Ihe Pension List. —The grandfather was a very old officer, and served in the battles in the first American War, and (lied Fort-Major of Tilbury ; and also his father, with his five brothers, all died holding commissions in his present and late Majesty's ser vice, two of whom were killed in action, and a third died of fatigue.

THE CoLLTEII3.-The prompt manner in which the combined colliers were rooted out at Calder Coal 'Works, has thrown their leaders into terrible consternation. A general meeting of about one thousand five hundred of the combined body was held on Friday last, in a Sand-field near Tollcross, when it was decreed, in order to prevent there being any increase in the supply of coals, from the number of new hands that have so unexpectedly been thrown into the market, thai the colliers who adhere to the combination in the other coal pits at Faskiue, should limit the quantity of coals they put out to six carts a week, or 9s. of wages.—The wages a collier can make at present being front Is. 3d. to Is. tid. an hour, they do not only not go .More than three or four days a week to their work, but when they* go, it is only for a few hours, seldom the length of six ; and when there are two or three in a family, the ballot' them only work that day, the others sitting and looking at them, never casting their coats.. It was proposed of one orate late meetings of the colliers (and which will no doubt be tried to be carried into effect),• to counteract the effect 'of new hands being brought in, that all the colliers at all the Asso ciated Works shall restrict their outputs in proportion as the outputs by the new hands increase; so that no more coals shall be put out, whatever means may be used to increase the quantity. This is practised so far at present, that when ever the stock of coals at any colliery amounts to three ' days output, they are ordered instantly to restrict their quantity till the stock is sold off: This is a daily occur rence. The injury done to the iron trade of Scotland by the colliers' combination is strikingly evident front the fact that this year there is fully a fourth less iron made in this country sole ly in consequence of this want of coals, and the frequent inter ruptions rad ring it unsafe for the iron-masters to prepare iron stone, &c. ; and several of the blast furnaces have consequent ly remained vacant. Iron is very scarce at present, from the great demand. Pig-iron, No. 1, sells at JO/. 10s. a ton, and is • not to be had. There are applications from all parts of the kingdom for pig-iron ; and although the-price has been lowered a little in Wales, it is owing to the rivalry of the leading iron masters. The consumption of pig-iron in treat Britain last year was 1000,000 tons : of this quantity, Scotland supplied 35,000 tons. It is understood the make this year will not be above .500,000 tons. In Scotland there are seven ironworks. At Calder iron-works there are four blast furnaces; in Wilson town, two ; in Carron, five ; Clyde, two ; Shotts, one ; Clel land, two ; Muirkirk,• three ; Devon, two. These furnaces make, on en average, thirty-five tons of iron a week each, when working. The great wages which the colliers have made so great exertions to gain, have been very far from a benefit to them. In various places, ever since the Repeal of the Combination Laws, they have been almost constantly in a state of semi -intoxication, while their wives and families have been much worse off than when wages were far lower.— The manner in which the colliers exercise their authority over their humble masters, may be judged of front a late inci dent. A manufacturer in Glasgow had ordered 100 tons from Ayrshire, but when the colliers there learned the desti nation, they intimated their determination not to interfere with the Lanarkshire colliers, and insisted that the 100 tons should be sent 'elsewhere; and. they were obeyed.—(Glasgow Chro nicle.) FIRE AT K Er.so.— On Tuesday evening last great alarm was excited by the discovery of the new distillery at Kelso, belonging to Mr. Mason, being on fire. The working of it had com menced on the previous day. The fire, from the first moment, 'assumed the most frightful appearance ; but, from the prompt attend ance of the fire-engines, the immense supply of water at hand, and the great and praiseworthy exertions of the persons assembled, it was con fined to the granary, and in about, an hour extin guished. The stock and buildings are, we under stand, insured in the Sun and Phoenix Offices. The business of the distillery was immediately resumed, and is now going on, the damage being done chiefly to the granary, and to the malt stored in P. A few nights ago, as the wife of a tradesman in West -street came to the door to let in her hus band, the wind blew the flame of the candle into her face, and set her beautiful flowing locks on fire, consuming with unpitying fury the bewitch ing curls, neatly packed in paper, to ashes. The sight was quite appalling, as, like another Thais, she streamed and screamed through the building with the countenance of Medusa, and the action of a Sybil. Fortunately the flames were sup pressed without injury to her pericranium ) not from the bounteous fountains of her eyes, but by a large wet cloth thrown over it, which would soon have been a caput mortuum, but for the so licitous attention of her spouse.—(Brightori Gaz.) We received, at a late hour this morning, the Paris Papers of Monday and Tuesday. They repeat an article from Trieste (which appears in the German Papers), reporting that Inn Alum PACHA, in his retreat to Navarino, had quarrelled with liussEtx BEY, and shot him dead, and that the Pacha was afterwards assassinated by a ne phew of Hussunst. The Diario cli Roma gives the same news, and looking at the violent character of IBRAHIM, and his excesses whe❑ under the in fluence of wine, an event of this nature is far from improbable. If the report should be con firmed, the event is one of high importance, and may prove very advantageous to the cause of the Greeks. The following are extracts : " PAHL°, OCT. 17.

At the beginning of September he arrived again at Navarin, whence he set out in May, with the most brilliant hopes. Soon after his arrival the misunderstanding with Hussein Bey, the second in com mand, who had brought the reinforcements from Candia, creased; it had already manifested itself in their retreat, and the troops arrived from Candia had even to come to blows with the Egyptians. Ibrahim and Hussein engaged in a violen dispute; the former fired a pistol at Hussein, and killed him on the spot. This event, in the account of which several letters agree, is said to have made such an impression on Hussein's troops, that they will not serve any longer under Ibrahim, and only obey the Beys who came with them from Candia.
