I never handle matters of chronology By means of signs connected with astrology. Far more I know of waistcoats, coats, and breeches, Than fortune-tellers, almanacks, and witches. Yet, notwithstanding this, my humble muse Is half-inclined to tread in Murphy's shoes, By telling you the reasons she has got For thinking winter will be hard or not. Judging from signs, I do not think Eni wrong In saying winter will be hard and long. I fancy that the snowdrop's slender leaf Shows certain signs that winter won't be brief; The crocus and the hyacinth as well The self-same story of the winter tell ; And there is something in the robin's note Which indicates that warmth is far remote. Now, it you think I'm right in such a guess, A warning take, and look to winter dress. Moses and Son's warm coats you must regard, If winter's season's to be long and hard. No opportunity have Moses' lost In making preparation for the frost. The trading bard's prediction, kindly meant, Should lead to Moses' famed establishment, Where winter dress for moderate price Is sold, Adapted to the bard's predicted cold.

ARCTIC RESEARCHES. The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have favoured us with copies of the subjoined dispatches received on Tuesday : her Majesty's ship Herald, Nov. 22, 1819. Sir,—Herewith I have the honour to transmit, f .r the inf)rmation of my Lords Commissioners of the Admi ralty, a circumstantial account of my proceedings since leaving Oahu on the 19th of May last. Passing to the southward of Oneehow and Lisian sky's Island and clove to the position of Byeu's and M roll's Islands, without meeting with either of the two latter, we sighted Kamchatka at 6 A.M. on the 22d c f June; there we picked up a fresh gale off the land, which ran me within a mile of Cape Gavarea, and le't me in a dead calm. My position would have been cri tical had I not found at this distance bottom in 30 fs. thorns. At daylight three ships were in sight off the Point of Petropaulski, the miragi transforming them into every imaginable shape. With light variable winds, assisted by our boats and a slight northerly current, we reached an anchorage in the entrance, in 15 fathoms, by seven P. M. The voyage occupied 35 days, and was only remark able for the lightness of the winds, the fineness of the weather, and the almost entire absence of f ,g; 24 hours never having elapsed without having obtained observa tions either by day or night for the position of the stop. Thr three vessels we had noticed proved to be Ame rican whale ships that hal also towed into an anchorage. I boarded one of them, and learned that they had left the port the day before, but having lost some men, had returned to pick them tr. From this vessel I also learned that the Plover had not been to Petropaulski, but a report was current ef a vessel having wintered somewhere to the northward. This information determined..me to go to the ancho. rage with the ship, if I could do so without toss of time, getting at. the same time teto boats rea ly to proceed there and obtain information in case it should continue calm. The wood at this port is excellent, the water easily ' obtained, and the beat I have ever tasted; at Chamisso Island, to hare taken in the same quantity of water I did here, would have cost me days for hours. A fine northerly breeze springing up at midnight, although foul, I weighed with the ship shortly after dispatching the boat. The wind freshened, with the tide in our favour, and we came to at seven A.M. in our former anchorage off the watering place. In our passage up the masters of the American ves sels came on board to gain information relative to Beh ring's St - nits, whither they were bound. Th e y in formed me that at least twenty American vessels would pass through those straits this year, in consequence of the success of one of their vessels last season. The master of the successful vessel appears to have been an enterprising man. He had a roving commission from his owner, but having been unsuccessful in the Japanese Seas, and reading in Captain Beechey'a voyage of the numbsr of whales he had seen in the Arctic Sea, he determined to go there. He did so, and succeeded; entering the Straits with a clear ship, aad returning about six weeks after with 4,000 barrels. The Governor of retropaulski had not heard of a ves sel having wintered to the northward, nor could he inform us from what source such a report could have sprung. I found lying here the Royal Thames Yacht Club schooner Nancy Dawson, owned and commanded by a Mr. Sheddon, formerly a mate in the royal navy. fie informed me that his object in coming hero was to go through the Straits, and as far north as possible in search of Sir John Franklin's expedition. He was last from Hong Kong, having touched at the Loo Choo Islands. She is well found in provisions, stores, and instruments. Her crew were entered at Hong Kong, the greater part of them Americans; they appeared to be a most disorganized set of men. Mr. Sheddon offered to place his vessel at my disposal, and appeared anxious that I should send an officer on board him, By 7 P. M. we had completed our water (having ob tained 35 tons), and by 10 P. N. had taken on board as much wood as we could stow. At 6 A. M., 25th of June, weighed in a calm, and towed out from tho anchorage. Got a light wi n d from the southward, bringing with it a fog, though still not so thick but that both sides of the entrance could be seen. Continut d beating out. In making a stretch over the eas'ern shore from Babouski Island the fug closed down over the rocks, and deceived me as to their distance. I hove the ship in stays with the greatest confidence, but the whirls of the tide made her slack, and shot her on to the rocks before I had time to bring up with an anchor. The stream anchor and cable were laid out, and hove taut, and at 2.10 r. M. the ship was hove off into deep maser, having been nearly three hours on shore. For tunately the water at 'the time was glassy smooth, so that the ship lay perfectly quiet until a short time before getting oil s , when she lifted and struck heavily by the bow two or three times, bringing away on call) occasion small pieces of her false kee . The ship made no water, and I did not consider her much damaged. Remained at anchor during the night. June 26, nines, e.DI , weighed, with a light S.E. wind, but was obliged to anchor again in a very exposed posi tion, near the Island of Slaritchkov, it being a calm, with a current setting directly on shore. 'A thick fog and dead calm during the night. Quantities t f fish and crabs were caught at this position. June 17—At ten A.M. we weighed, with a light N.E. wind, which took us clear of the eh ( a',3 off the entrance, and almost immediately we entered a dense fog. Struggling with light variable winds and fogs, we did not pass Bhering's Island until the 2d of July. Oa the morning of the 13th we passed the carcass of a dead whale, and in the flrenoon another. Shortly afterwards we exchanged colours with one of the American whalers we had seen at Petropaulski, and before twelve o'clock the other two. La-ge flocks of the little crested auk about the ship. At noon the N.W. end of St. Lawrence Island bore due east, distant twelve miles. Running during the night with a fresh S.S.W. wind and thick weather. Hauled up for the Asiatic shore at seven A.ll under easy sail, to make the land, which we did nrar the northern point of St. Lawrence Bay, having experienced in that time a current of twenty-five miles to the northward. At 8.30 passing within three miles of East Cape, shaped our course for Cape Espenberg (Kotzebue Sound), with a very strong S.E. wind. In passing a'.lro!s toe straits we taw to the north ward of the Diomede Islands two other whale ships, hove to with their heads t) the S.W., one of them ' trying out. W e passed over the shoal spoken of by Cap tain Beechey, off Schismarief Inlet, and found in s , von fathoms the leist water, the sea at the time so high and hollow that it frequently broke into our main chains. Bunning along the low land off Cape Espenberg, which we passed shortly after midnight. Wo had un interrupted dayli ght, the only difference between the light at midnight and n oon b e i ng as t h e li g h t o f a November's day in England is to that of a summer's one. As we entered the S oun d the wind gradually light ened and veered to the eastward. Passed several 1 'gs of drift-wood.- 15th of July—Shortly after eight, A.M., we male out a vessel at anchor u n d er Chamisso Is'and, and at ten exchanged numbers with her Majesty's ship Plover. We reached the anchorage by one, Rm., having run in fifty hours from the west en d of St. Lawrence Islan d to the anchorage off Chatnisso. Commander Moore came on board, from whom I was glad to learn that the officers and crew were all healthy and in rood spirits. Ile had only arrived at six A.m. the by the Pl over on the Asiatic s h ore , c l ose t o day previous, h the south of Cap e T c h ukotsky. B,fore my arr i va l two boats had been d i spatc h e d f or having passel the winter in a harbour dis covered the Mackenzie Ri ver, under the comman d o f Li eutenan t Lee; lirtunat e ly t h e Herald hove i n s i g h t b e f ore it was too late to si gna li se t h em; returned. the boats saw the recall, and We commenced immediately on our arrival to coal and provision the Plover, and by 9 A.M. she had on board all the bread she could stow, half her coals, and a proportion of other provisions. July 16—We were occupied in stowing Plover's pro visions and coals, removing officers, discharging objec tionable men, and filling up their vacancies from our own complement. While this was going on I went with Commander Moore and his acting ice-master to examine the different bays on the ea't side of Choris Peninsula, for a wintering station for the Plover. We found very shoal water in all of them, shoaling gradually northerly towards the east peninsula. They were of opinion that if a vessel did winter there she would be greatly exposed, and probably, on the breaking up of the ice, be carried into the straits or shoved up on to the beach. At nine ran. both ships were ready to sail, but our main cap having been reported very rotten, I was de tained the next day (17th) to shift it. On each day o f ou r stay we were visited by t wo baidars, carrying twelve men each; all of them were particularly tall, we ll built, well armed, and with ou t either their women or dogs. At first they were rather shy, hut as soon as the in terpret-Ir began t) speak t) them in their languaze— that is, in a dialect which some of them understood—. they appeared delighted, came on board, looked all over tla i ship, and returned (at'ter I had made each of them some trifling present) without attempting to pilfer any thing. They belonged to Sitiftreif Inlet, and expressed their delight at meeting with, and being recognised by, Lieut. Cooper and others who had visited thorn at their place last year, making presents to them without seeking a return. Commander Moore and myself accompanied them to Cha - nisso Island, where sfor hauling up their baidars, canting them bottom to the wind, the weath er gunwa l e resting on the sand, the other raised about three feet, and supported by raldles, the space underneath covered with furs, we partook of several pipes with th em . Whilst we were engaged with our pipe, Com man d er Moore employed his boat's crew in digging for the flour ltfc by C twain Beechey twenty-three years before in a position indicated by directions on a rock, which were as perfect as the day when cut. We found this rock last year, but, supposing the flour to have bcon removed by the natives, did not dig for it. A consider a bl e space was cleared round the crick, its chimes freed, only ad hering to the sand by the two lower bilge staves; yet still it required the waited strevith of two boats' crews, with a parbuckle and a large spar as a lever, to free it altogether. The sand was f:•oron so hard that it emitted sparks with every blow of the pickaxe. The ea , ..k itself was perfectly sound, and the hoop good; out f the 3361 b. of flour which it contained, 175!h. was as sweet and well-tasted as any we had on board. The tin of beads was also fuund; those not of glass much de cayed; the cotton stringing quite sound. July 18—At six A.m. we weighed, with a S.W. wind, and stood out of the anchorage. The Nancy Dawien yacht hove in sight at the same time. She ace , mapal;e I us, without t •uching at Chamisso Island. The Plorer aiing under all plain sail, the Herali h eping in com pany: July 19 —At four A.I. paisrd a ship standing to the eastward, and at noon Point Hope bore N. 18 deg. W. 55 mile•. We experie Iced, contrary to my expectation, in this run, a current set'ing S. 74 deg. W., har-a-mile per hour. 6 P.M.—Exchanged c )lours with an American whaler (111arga7et, of Providence). Whales at the time blowing in every dire3tion round her; wind too arang and t)0 much sea fir her to attempt them. Fog so dense at eight P.M., that the Plover could not be seen, although within speaking distance. Continued running to the northward during the night, kelping company by gongs and _ July 20 —ln the firenoon nearly ran over the carcass of a dead whale that hal been flinched. Noon, the wind baring shifted suddenly to the northward, we had fine clew weather; Cape Lisburne east nineteen miles. At five r M. we anchored in fifteen fathoms, with Cape Lis borne bearing N. 7 deg. 20 min., E. meg., distant two miles and a ha'f; Plover and yacht in company. From this position two whale boats were dispatched to examine the coast northerly, under the orders of Lieu tenant Pullen (Plover), and Mr. Parsons, Eemnd master (Herald). A boat was also sent from the Plover a short diqsnee to the southward. The Plover's boat returned soon after midnight, having landed in one or two places, and met with many natives, who were friendly and well disposed. A beantiful clew night. At midnight the sun showed its sernidiameter above the horizon, and nearly every person in the ship remainel up to witness this phenomena for their first time. July 21—Weighed in the morning at seven A.sr , with a N.N.E. wind to follow the boats northerly. The Plover being nearer in shore, was visited by two baidars, each carrying about twenty natives, men and women ; a most miserable set of beings they were. They spoke of the boats having passed their encampment the night be fore. They collect near this place fur the purpose of catching birds and ga'hering egg'. Calm ; anchored at six P.M., in eleven fathoms north and east of Cape Lisburne, off shore about six miles. Weighed again at midnight, with a light northerly wind ; the boats hove in sight at seven A.M., at ten they were alongside. Mr. Pullen had examined the inlet to the eastward of cape without success. He was informed by the natives, through the interpreter, that none of the inlets on the coast would admit of a vessel entering them ; that it was only a few of them, at the early spring, their baidars could enter ; and they were closed when the winds began to blow from the westward. We experienced in the ship until six P.n. of the 23d a tedious calm ; the curreflt fortunately set us north, half a mile per hour. < During this time we were visited by two baidars, with the same party of natives we had seen off Cape Lisburne ; they came along fearlessly, and disposed of every article they had ; the women selling their for dresses, even to their second pair of breeches, for tobacco and heals. During the evening of the 23d and the morning of the 24th we were running to the N.E.. with a moderate S.S.W. wind and a thick f clearing at intervals fir a short time. Watrusses, whales, and flocks of eid er d uc k about. We were guided as to our approach to the ice by the temperature of the sea. ' July 25, A.M.—The wind shifted to the N.W.; brought with it cold but fine and clear weather; steer ing fir Wainwright's Inlet, the vast numbers of wal russes that surrounded us keeping up a continual bellow ing or grunting. The barking of the innumerable sea's, the small whales, and the immense flocks of ducks con tinually- rising - from the water as we neared them, warned us of our approach to the ice, although the tem perature of the sea was still high. We male the land a little before noon, ten miles t) the northw a rd o f Wain wright's Inlet. At two P.M. we anchored in eleven fathoms, about three miles off its entrance. The Plover and yacht had done so about an hour before. In running down along the coast a post was observed on the higher land, near the entrance of the inlet; shortly afterwards a man was seen to hoist on it (what we most of us made out to be) a flag. The Plover soon afterwards dipped her ensign (simply to char it as we afterwards learned); this was answered by the person at the post doing the same, and entirely removing it. I immediately lowered a boat, and sent Lieutenant Cooper, of this ship, to the shore. He walked up to the post, and found it to be nothinz more than a native mark for a quantity cf blubber and reindeer flesh he discovered buried there. The native had left. Lieute nant Coope- after remaining there some time, returned on board wit hout seeing anybody. My reasons for selecting this place to equip and disptitch the boats from, instead of praccedirig as fir north as the ships should go , was that r considered it of the greatest importace that the Plover's wintering sta tion should be known by the officer in command of the boat expedition. Comm . enrol immediaie!y to hoist out the boats, equip and provision them. Whil9 this vra,-; going on I dis patched Mr. Hill, master of the ship, to sound the ent-ance of the inlet. lie returned on board a little be fore midnight, and made to me the following report:— That the channel was very narrow and winding; that nine feet was the most water that could with certainty be carried in, and that even to insure that depth the channel would require close buoying; that a fair wind, or a calm, so that a vessel might either sail or bo towel in, was necessary, the channel being too narrow and in tricate to warp through. Once in, he reports that there is a sufficiency of water and a convenient spot for the Plover to winter. From this report I found that it was impossible for the Plover to enter this inlet with the water found there, but as the entrance was encumbered with some heavy pieces of ice aground, which during our stay wag break ing up ast, I conceived it very probable that after they had disappeared the channel might become more direct and deeper. I therefore determined to return and make a closer examination of tho inlet as soon as I had seen the boats as far north as we could reach in the ships. The boa's were therefore directed to visit Wainwright's Inlet on their return, in case it should prove practicable fit the Plover to enter, but that, under: any circum stances, she would be found in the Chamisso Mr. Hill met there about 40 natives, who were very friendly at first, but when they found ho was about to leave them, they became annoying, pulling their baidars across his bows, and fouling his oars, not with any hos tile intentions, but simply to delay his departure, so that they might have time to barter with him for some of his riches. By midnight the boats were all ready, and shoved off under three hearty cheers from the ships, which were as heartily returned by the boats. This little expedition consisted of 25 persons and four bolts, as nllows:—Lieutenant Pullen, comrranding the Herald's 30-f)ot pinnace, fitted On board with the great-st care, thoroughly decked, schooner-rigged, and called the Owen, furnished with pumps, spare rudder, and a strengthening piece of 2-inch plank above her water line. Two 27-foot whale boats, new beats, brought out by her Majesty's ship Asia fr , no England, covere 1 in abaft as far as the backboard, but without either boxes or cases, the provisions being stowed, the bread in painte 1 bags, and the preserved meats between tarpawlings. The men's clothes were in haversacks, capable of re moval in a moment. Plover's pinnace, a half-decked boat, with ca3es for her provisions, &c., so placed as to resist pressure from the ice. There was placed in the boats 70 days' preserved meats fir the whole party, all the other articles of pro • visions, except bread, to the same extent, being also soldered up,in tins. In addition to these the Owen had on board eight men's allowance of the regular ship's provision*. After she was st)wed with this proportion, every corner that would hold a case of preserved meat was filled. The two larger boats carried in lack cf them five cases of pemmican fir the especial use of Sir John Franklin's party. The ships weighed in company with the boats, and ran alonz the land within about three miles, with a mo derate off-shore wind. vv July 21—At four A.M. the: ice could be seen in heavy masses, extending from the shore near the Sea Horse Islands. At six we were obliged to heave in conse quence of a dense f:ig. This cleared off at half-past eleven. The Plover was close to, but neither the boats nor the yacht were in sight. We both made sail, steering true north, and were, at one r.m., in Ist. 71 deg. 5 min., where we made the heavily packed ice, extending nearly as far as the eye could reach frOm N. W. by W. to'N.E. At this time we had soundings in forty fathoms mud—the deepest water we have had since leaving the island of St. Lawrence. We continued running along the pack until eight P.m., when a thick fog coming on, we ran two or three mile; south, and hove to, wind blowing from N.N.E., and directly Of the ice. We had run along it thirty miles. The paik was composed of a dirty-coloured ice, not more th in five or six feet high, except some pinnaclo3 ilf:”ply seated in the pack, which had no doubt boen thrown up by the foci coming in contact. Every fo miles the ice streamed off from the pack, through which the Plciver July 29—At half-past one the fog cleared off; the pack from N.N.W. to N.N.E., distant about six miles. Made sail during the forenoon, running through streams of loose ice. At ten passed some large and heavy floes. Commander Moore considering theca sufficiently heavy and extensive to obtain a suite of ma2,netical observa tions, dropped the Plover through between them, and made fist with ice anchors under the lee cf the largest in a most seamanlike manner. I laidei on the floe, with Lieutenant Trollops. The latitude, time, and varia!ion, were obtained on it (lat. 71 30 N.; long. 162 5 W.); but the other observations were vitiated by its motion in azimuth, and by the con stant bre Acing away the level would not stand. We had 28 fathoms mud alongside it and no current. I found the ice driving slowly to the southward, with the N.N.E. wind then blowingiresh. Very few walrus end but a single direr seen r .Ehe general height pf this [PRICE on. floe was five feet, and about one mile in extent; on it were found pebbles and mud, which led Commander Moore to suppose that it Lai been in conta , t with the lend. I supposed the mud and pebbles to hale been fecal renains dropped there by some walrus. At 3 n.m. the Plover slipped from the ice, and both ships with a N.E. wind made sail westerly urfl six o'clock, when we hauled up true north, having no ice in sight in that direction, and only from mast-head on wea ther beam. A fine clear night, running along six and seven knots; temperature of the water, 40 deg. ; depth, 21 fathoms (increasing). At midnight the latitode was obtained by the inferior passage of the sun. At 5 A.M. Vie temperature of the water hid fallen to 36 deg., and alines - at the same in stint the ice was repored from the mast-head. Between this time and seven A.m. (when we hove to within half a mile of the pack) we ran ten degrees five minutes, so that I consider eleven miles to be about the distance that packed ice in this part of the world can be seen in clear weather from a ship's malt-head. This pack was of dirty-Jol Aire! ice, showing an out line, without a break in it, five or six feet high, with columns and pinnacles mu.th higher some distance in. Although the wind was off the pack, there was not a particle of loose or drif, ice from it; our soundings ha gradually increased to 35 fathoms, soft bl :e mud. The only living thing seen were a pair of small divers, black with a white ball in the ba:..k, and two very remarkable birds, very like the female of the tropical m an - o f- war bird—a dingy black colour, with exceisively long wing, sad the same flight when soaring. We could not suc ceed in shooting any of either species. We remained hove to off the pack fur an hour. The temperature of the sea near the pack at every five fathoms was as shown in the margin. In the dredge we got muscles, and a few bivalves common to these seas. This was our most nJrthern position, lat. 72 deg. 51 min. N., 118 deg. W. The i ce , a s ar as could be seen from the masthead, trended. away W.S.W. (com pass), Commander Moore and the ice master reporting a water sky to the north of the pack, aud,a strong iceblink to the S.W. It was impossible to gain this reported orea water, al the pack was perfectly impenetrable. Tt.e pack we had just traced f,l. 40 lesgue4, made in a series of steps wes terly and northerly, the westerly being about 10 or 12 miles, and the northerly 20. We made sail at 9 o'clock, A.M., steering for the coait a little t) the westward of our track up. Wind N.E., gradually decreasing as wo got southerly. Five o'clock, A.M.—Fell a deal. calm, the sea glassy smooth, and so transparent that a white plats was dis tinctly seen at a depth of 80 feet. This afforded mo an opportunity of ascertaing the extent of damage the ship had received when on shore in Awatska Bay. The f ire foot wal untouched, the false keel gone for about ten feet. Beyond this she had sustained no damage that we could see. The copper broken, and excessively thin all over. As we approached tle coast we again met numbers of whales, walrus, sells, and flights of ducks and sea birds. July 30, eight o'clock ♦.M.—Packed in shore in eight fathoms, close to the northward of Blossom's Shoals. Commander Moore came on board and proposed that daring the time I was surveying Wainwright's Inlet he should go along the coast during the fine weather as fAr north as the ice would permit him, and endeavour to communicate with the larger bows, which we expected were somewhere about Refuge Inkt. With this inten tion we both started with a fine but adverse wind from N.B. I worked on short tacks, close along shore, the sound ings in muddy bottom decreasing and increasing as we approached or receded from the land. Shortly after six o clock A.m. we again anchored off the entrance of Wain wright's Inlet. Not a particle of the ice seen on our former visit re mained. We had not long anchored when we observed the natives carrying their baidars across the narrow neck between the inlet and the sea and launching them. Wishing to get as many of thorn as I could off to the ship, so as to have fewer to molest me on shore, I de ta'ned the boats until two orthem came alongside. They approached us slowly, frequently resting on their pad dles, the bowman each time invariably holding up his hands over his head at an angle of forty-fire degrees, when lowering them passing them over his breast and stomach. I made the boatswain do the same from the forecastle netting. They always wait 3d for his answer ba ire they recommenced paddling. I made theca each a present of some tobacco and beads, which they could hardly understand that I in tended to give without return. I left the ship with three boats, for the examination of the inlet, and gave permission to the ship's company to trade with the natives for whatever they had to dispoze of, consisting mostly of small figures and tools of ivory, bows, arrows, a few furs, sea'skin boots, and piece 3 of reindeer'. flash. I had not been long on shore be'ore these natives left the ship and fAlowd. Nothing co.ild exceed their good humour. When about to commence my observa tions, I ordered a'l trading to cease, dre a large semi circle on the sa rd, from water's edge to water's edge, and placed the boats' noses batwo.n its point.. They seemed perfectly to underst and the ro: aning of this line; not one of them attempted to overstep It; Vey eqnstted down, and remained perfectly qu'o' and silent. When a stranger arrived they shouted to hire, who no sooner uc derstood Vlem than he crept rather than walked to the boundary, and scpt tted atnon,gst the rzst. Tony dance and sang fir our amusement, played f ,otball with the seamen (who had not a chance n ith them), and displayed their skill in shooting at a mark. Plover anchored iu company soon of or noon. Calm. Commander Moore went on shore, erect3d a mark, and buried a bottle, with information f the beats. I had satisfied myself before his arrival that ten fe , t was the greatest depth that could be carried in; I theref,re called upon him to furnish me with a reaort of what his vessel could be lightened to, a copy cf which I have the honour to enclose. By it their Lordships will perceive that, short of taking the Plover's masts out, she could not be lightene I suffi ciently to enter the inlet. Could it hare be , n done by any partial lightening I should have attempted it, being in every way so very de4irable a position—in the first place, from its high latitude, the friendliness of the na tives, the supply of reindeer's fl , sh we found could be obtained there, there he'ug no other harbour south of it nearer than the KotzAue Sound, and, lastly, the opi nions of the icemasters of the exposure to which a vessel wintering in the latter place would be subjcctei. Inside there is a good depth of water, and in ore spat the Plover might have been placed alongside a bank, well sheltered. The natives gavo me to understand that a considerable riser runs into it; at least one that they can, in their baidars, navigate f,r many days, and that it ran to the S.E.; that, on its banks, apt in the nei4hlTmrhood of the inlet, no reindeer collected in great numbers, in , • their progress northerly, and in their return south. The natives began to leave us, ai licf me, by eight P.M., tracking their fielders with dogs to their tents in a little san lay bay, a mile north ef us. By the time we were ready to go off there was not one with u.. I was sorry to find that, after all their good behaviour, they had bee, guilty of picking the pockets of two or three. One lost a handkerchief, anot`rer a glove, Com modore Moore a box of caps, and the naturalist a smell glass bottle, containing spirits and water. Wednesday, Aug. I—During the night we had a thick fig, which cleared at five A.m. The boats left the ship t ) continue their examination; Commander Moore and my self to obtain a suite of magnetical and other observations. I returned to the ship shortly alter noon with the boats to put my work on paper. Commareler Moore went up the inlet, and found some baidars that had just arrived with several reindeer cut in quarters. They were stowing it with a considerable quantity they had alrea'ly collectlA in a hole dug on the sand spot off Point Collie, and ap peared much annoyed at their stow-hole having been discovered. It was deep, and lined with logs of wood, having a roof formed also cif logs about five feet above the ground, and covered with moss. For a small quan tity of tobacco they sold 8001bs. —as much as Com mander Moore's boat could carry. Learning f,•om him that they were willing to dispose of more, I sent Lieu tenant Cooper, the naturalist, and the surgeon, in a light boat to purchase it; seeing the boat pulling in fast directly for them, they got alarmed, and at length, before the boat touched the beach, a woman walked to the water's edge and held up the bottle the naturalist had lost the day before, making signs to him when he landed tlatt it had been picked up on the beach. It was in the same state as when he lost it, the cork never having been removed. They at least understand that stealing is an offence. At first they appeared rather sulky, and un unwilling to part with any of their meat; after a few presents they resumed their former good humour and sold fourteen quarters, all of them of young animals—it was without a particle of fat, badly killed, but still was owned by most on board to be very sweet and tender neat. In the afternoon a long westerly swell rolled in, with a very light wind :till off the land; at 6 o'clock it shiltei to the southward, with a threatening appearance. We both immediately weighed and stood off the land, in a thick fog, and with a filling barometer. August 2—At 9 A.M. the fog cleared off. The Plover was nowhere to be Seel), and the wind was gradually in- creasing. August 3—At 9 A.M. were reduced to treble-reefed topsails and re( f.d courses, with a very s hort, t, d deep, and trying sea. We were obliged to carry t o it i o keep oft' the land the current settler, as we fo und it ot all occa- Si its, with the wind—rather st r o n g er off Joy Cape t',an in other parts of this sta. August 4—Wind gradually veered to the westward, and by 5 A.U. died away to a calm. Variable airs, the wind settled in the S.W. At 3 P.M. could see the st‘g,es on Icy . Cape; at half-past 3 packel in 11 fathoms, be f,re trimming we were in 8. Very gloomy, squally, aid threatening weather. In standing off fell in with the Plover again, signalized our position to her, and ap pointed Cape Lisburne as a rendezvous. Whales teen, also large flocks of ducks and geese, going southerly. August 5, 6, and 7—Fresh breezes, with Leavy f slls f snow, but what with the current, the trying sea, and the wind always breaking us off in whichever way we tried to go, we could not make a mile of westing until the afternoon of the Bth, when the wind shifted sud denly'to the N.W.; stood to the W.S.W. August 9.—ln the morning passed the carcass of a dead whale, and another in the afternoon. I sent a boat to this one, stuck a flag in it, and buried a bottle, contain ing current paper, u notice of my whereAboute, and of ~~~~~ my intention to go westerly, for, the information of the Plover, should she fall in with it. Many reports of land from the masthead. A landbird germ Having this favourable wind 'for exa - ning the pack to the westward, I continued to steer as high as the wind would permit on the sta-hoard tack. The wind continued to lighten until the morning f the 10th, when it fell a dead cal m . The ..ea was literally covered in streams with parti cles of a p;nlc colour, like wood ashes, or coarse saw dust fronlcedar, a tenth of an inch Icing and 0.5 in diameter, and round. On placing it under the micro scope, no appearance cf circulation could be de tected. Mr. Goodridge, the 'surgeon of _this ship, supposes it to h ave proceeded from the carcasses of toe whales we raw yesterday, the oil having been forced through the pores by the pressure of the water, giving the uniform size and shape in which we found it. I endea voured to dry some in bicrting paper, but it was ab sorbed by the paper, and nothing left but an oily stain. Tried the current, and found it running to the west ware, one-third of a mile an hour. Wolves grunting around in groups of eight and ten together; quantities of small pieces of drift-wood, all pine, which appeared to have been washed from some beach. The tempera ture of the water at the surface in 29 fathoms was 45 mud)fa t hiss a h shrimps. deg., and at the bottom 43 deg. muTshoeisd,raetdagrfiesphro(dfouuenedd segfoo,oad m fe a w ny bivalves ( got b, f ore), and somei( ni y n r p t e a r b r y t h parts A light southerly wind sprang up, gradually increas ing, and veering to the eastward. At half-p as t ten, of or standing to the S.W. f,r fifteen mile., the loom of the land in the neighbourhood f North Cape could be seen. I ticked to the N.E., with the wind fresh front E S. E.; not wishing to run the risk cf being caught with a south castor between the land and the ice floe, whi c h I considered could not bo far off from the extraordinary smoothness of the water, the numbers of walrus, a n d panicularly a little black and whit: diver, which we rev2r saw except in its vicinity. Angus: 11—Steering ur.til this day in very thick and bad weather to the N.E., at which time we were in lat. 70 deg. 1 min., long. 173 deg. 53 min. Bore up north to endeavour to fall in with the pack. By six P.M. a dense fog came on, we haulel to the wind on port a-A under reduced s a ils, b hip leading 8.E., with a jumping sea. August 12, A.M.—The wind shifted suddenly to N. N. 8., and afterwards N.N.W., blowing hard, reduced to treble-reefed tweeds and reefed foresail, our soand ings having decreased - to 17 fathoms, mud. No observe vations. Our reckoning placed us in 17 deg. 20 min., 171 dog. 23 min., in 18 fathoms, rand. Shortly after noon our depth decreased to 16 fathoms, the colour of the water becoming lighter, with a break ing sea all round. Our' soundings decreased a fathom each cast until 1 30 P.M., when we were in 11 fathoms, shingle, getting in wearing 9 fathoms, then 12, and "hen trimmed to go back, as we went on, bad several casts of 8, and one of 7 fathoms ; then suddenly got into 14, which gradually increaaed. The sun came out veri fying our noon poaitioo. Until midnight it blew a strong gale. August 13, A.x.—Fine; wore ' to stand ba c k t o t h e shoal. Shoaled our water at 13 fathoms, and at tee I imagined I saw breakers on the lea bow, Ship rtfused sta,ys; wore, but had no less water at midnight; passed over the tail of the bank in 8 fathoms, five miles N.W. of our former position. Continued to stand to the east ward until I could weather the south end of the shoal; then tacked, passing in 16 fathoms, three miles south of our first position. Whon I bore up north to fix its wes'orn edge, a slight easterly current took me rather farther in that direction than I intended. I have, how ever, confined it within a radius of five miles. The weather would not allow of oar anchoring so as to make a closer examination of the shoal with our boats, and the sea was too heavy and hollow to attempt taking the ship herself into less water. In approa?,hing the shoal, the bottom changes from sand to fine sand, and when in the least water coarse gravel and stones. We fiund nothing less than 7 fathoms; but I am of opi nion that a bank exists which would bring a ship up. August 14—We experienced very strong, variable, and S.E. breezes, with rain, until midnight of the 14th, when the wind changed to the westward, and brought with ittne weather. Continued to stand to northward and westward until noon on the 15th, being in lat. 71 12, and long. 170 10; bore up west half south, passing se veral pieces of drift wood. Our sounding increased u we left the bank (westerly) to 25 fathoms, mud. August 16— Wind very variable in; strength, and di rection S.S.W. to S.E. Large flocks of phalaropes, divers, and gulls, numerous. At midnight wind very flash from S.S.E. steering W.S. W.; depth decreasing to 10 fathoms. _ _ At three A.m., fie 17th t.f August, the temperature of the sea suddenly fell from 40 deg. to 36 deg. ; the wind became light and excessively cold. Shortened sail, supposing that I was very near the ice; frequently snow showers. At five a.m. wind shif.ed suddenly from the N.W. in a sharp squall with heavy snow. Shortly sf er eight, when one of these snow storms clea re d o ff, the packed ice was seen from the masthead from S.S.W. to N.N.W., live miles distant. The weather was so bad that I bore up for the reudcz;ous. The weather, however, as sud denly cleared up. I hauled my wind for the north western extreme of the ice that had teen seen. At 9 40 the exciting report of " Laud-hol" was made from the masthead; they were both soon aft?rwards crowded. In running a course along the pack towards our first dLcovery, a stn.:ll group of islands was reported on our port, beun, a cor:sidcrable distance within the outer mar gin of t) e Tbo pack here was not so close as I fund it before. Lanes c f vva'er ck,uld be ieen reaching temost up to the group, but too ra row t-) act -r unless the ship had been sufficiently f to tore° a hole for herself. The :e small islands at intervals wet o very di- tinct, and were rot considered at tie time very distant. Still more distant than this group (from the deck) a very extensive and high land was reported, which I . had been watching for some time, and anxiously awaited a report from some one *Le. There wus a tine clear at mosphere (such a one at can only be seen in this climate) except in the direction of this extended land, where the clouds rolled in numerous immense masses, occasionally leaving the very lefi peaks uncapped, where could be distinctly seen columns, pillarF, and very broken, which is characteristic of the higher headlands in this sea— East Cape and Cape Lisburt e, for example. With the exception of the N.E. and S.F. extremes, none of the lower land :could be area, unless, indeed, what I took at first for a small group of islands within the pack edge was a point uf this great land. This island or point was distant twenty -fire miles from the ship's track, higher parts of the land seen not less, I consider, than sixty. When we bore to off the first land seen the northern extreme of the great land showed out to the eastward f a moment, and so clear as to cause some who had doubts before to cry out, " There, Sir, is the land quite plain." From the time land was reported until we hove to under it, we ran twenty-fire miles directly for it. At first we could not at e that the pack joined it, but as we approached the inland, we found the pack to test on the island, and to extend from it as far as the eye could reach to the F.S.E. The weather, which had bcoi fine all day, now changed suddenly to dense clouds and snow showers, blowing fresh from the south, with so much sea that I did not anchor es I intended. I left the ship with two boats; the senior lieutenant, Mr. Maguire; Mr. Seeman, naturalist; and Mr. Collin see, mate, in one; Mr. Goodridge, surgeon; Mr. Paken ham, midshipmaa ; and myself, in the other; almost de:pairing of being ;He to reach the island. The ship kept off, and outside the thicket pelt rf the loose ice, through which the boats e e-o obliged to be very ca, , eful in picking their way, on the S.E. side,where I thought I might t ave ascended. Wo reached the island, Ind found running on it a very heavy sea; the first lieutenant, however, landed, 1 ming ba..!kel his boat in until he could g• t foothold (without swimming), and then jumped overly are'. I followed his example; the others were anxious to do the same, but the sea was so high that I could not permit thew. We hoisted the jack and took possession of the island with the usual ceremonials. in the name of her Moat Gracious Majesty Queen Victoria. The extent we bad to walk over was net more than thirty feet. From this space and a short distance that we scrambled up we colleetei eight species of plants; specimens ef the rock were also brought away. With the time we could spare and our matsrials, the island was perfeet'y inaccessible to us. This was a great disappointment to us, as from its summit, which is elevated above the sea 1,400 fret, much could have been seen, and all doubt set aside, more particularly as I knew the moment I got on board I should be oblige.' to carry sail t 3 get off tke pack and out of tke bight of it wa were in; neither could I expect that st this late period of the season the weather would improve. The island on which I landed is four miles and a half in extent east end west, and about two and a half north and south, in the shape of a triangle, the western end being its apex. It is almost inaccessible omit sides, making and a solid mass of granite. Innumerable black and white divers (common to this sea) here found a safe place to deposit th,ir eggs and bring up their young ; not a walrus nor seal was seen on its shore, or on the ice to report a discove r y o f land lnabnii its ds s. vicinity th a . w . e r V s so numerousobserved here e u n t o u n s e be o fo f beforeehme th' ally landi ng on i t. after the un'Ortun ate mist Ike to the sou thward; but as a man can be c e rt ain, who has 130 pair cf eyes to lanldt in i ro th m o e s s e a regionsn err nervous s without hi n g assist him, and all agre,ing, I am certain we have dis covered an extensive land.

Here I landed, accompanied by the naturalist and seve ral ofikyrs. I erected a mark, and buried a bottle. A tolutiful stream of water ran into this bay. The natu ralist had a good harvest on its banks, which were literally covered with flowers, removed only a few reel from what I considered to be perpetual snow. Quantities of coal were afro fmnd here.

PRESTON, JAN. 19.—Owing to a prevalence of wind from the east, the arrivals are insignificant. There being so lively symptoms in other leading markets, the trade here during the week has exhibited less firmness, and in the limited business passing prices have been the turn in favour of the buyers. There was only a very moderate supply of English wheat this morning, which met a slow sale at the rates of this day se'nnight. Very little de mand for Irish, though offered at an abatement of Id per bushel. Foreign neglected. Flour unaltered in value. Prime mealing oats sustained our last quotations. but secondary qe:lities were rather cheaper. Farmers' oat- meal declined 6d per load, and Irish manufature moved slowly, at a reduction of 3d per 2401 b. All other articles as last noted. NOTTINGHAM, JAN 19—The weather has been very wet to-day, which caused a small attendance at market, and consequently less !grain offering than usual. The best samples of wheat obtained last week's prices—inferior sorts a shade lower. Barley was in fair supply, and there being but few buyers, late rates were with diffi culty maintained. There was no variation in the value of either oats or beans, and but little doing in them. NEWCASTLE CATTLE MARKET, JAN. 22.—We had a fair supply of beasts at this morning's market.
