The MUTH of O.ITOB Ell. 1850, will display a new trading feature, in the shape of an Establishment never before equalled. The "town tour:st ' cannot have failed to notice, in his progress to the west end e' the metropolis, an extensive range of premises in c arse of erection at the corner of HAR I'-STREET, NEW OX FORD - STREET.' The situation, extent, and character of these premises must, from the earliest stage of the undertaking, have impressed the public with the idea that unit a project could be connected with no mean capi talists —no ordinary speculation. The gradual development of the building and'the ultimate display Of the Rams of the proprietary at once disclosed to the passer-by the true character of the speculation ; and thousands in that and other ImPortant localities have ever since been looking forward with aux ous expectation to the opening of the West-end Branch of E. MOSES and SON . The expediency of opening an Establishment like tliat under con sideration cannot properly be called in question. The 'east end and the west end of the metropolis are two perfectly distinct localities; and to such au extent has the Capital grown, that a visit from one part to another involves both trouble and ex- Dense. The expediency of the present undertaking may be safely argued from the encouraging fact, that the proprietors number from the west tad a large proportion of their wealthy supporters, whose interests and Convenience will necessarily be better consulted in their own lo " 14, and who, in return, will have more ready opportunities of la- Vouring E. ➢iOSES and SON with their commands. It 'would be idle and useless to argue that such a vast speculation as the WEST-END BRANCLI would not have been entered into, had not the voice of the public called loudly for it. E. MOSES and BON have had too much experience in such undertakings, and know top well how to improve the capital which the public have placed at their disposal, to enter into a project like the present unsupported by the Public, from whom they derive that diffidence, without which such an enterprising speculation would never have been attempted. In starting the Branch of tho City Establishment at the West end, 1 E MOSES and SON have taken especial care so to model their ar rangements to the requirements of the locality, as to render this Branch suitable to all parties. .The BESPOKE TAILORING DEPARTMENT is deserving of P articular mention ; being, as it is, the first at the West-end, in point et! business -arrangement, accommodation, and fashion. The Nobility and Gentry will here meet with no obstruction or confusion, and will have no necessity to pass through the more busy Portion of the Establiihment, there being aseparate private entrance to 'this department, with distinct accommodation for servants in at tendance. Attention is also called to the fact, that hart-street, Which runs parellel with Oxford-street, being quiet and private, af ftirds sate standing room for carriages —a circumstance worthy the attention of the gentry. connexion with the Bespoke Department, there arc SELE .BIT FITTING-ROOMS, and FITTING-ROOMS fir GENTLE- Ie.SN, besides DEPARTMENTS devoted to the JUVENILES. bierything has been done by the proprietors to render their Branch Establishment in these important respects (without qualification of tt zms), the first Establishment in the first fashionable locality in the k ingdom. -- • ' In the arrangements of the READY-MADE DEPARTMENTS The re are also tho , e recommendations which cannot fail to elicit the 14 1)P royal of a discerning public. T he classification of go,ds, the ready ingress and egress, and every °thin' arrangement, are such as must conduce to the accommodation and satisfaction of the purchaser. For such an Establishment, in such a situation, the most superior OAS , artment of fashions has been prepared. The proprietors have determined not to be equalled in the collection of dress at their West•end Branch ; and, in order to produce the first *Pet omens of attire, they have not only made purchases of the most euW rrb materials in Cloths, Silks, Satins, Alpacas, L'tstres, but have secured the most ele.taut and novel designs, by offering handsome prized for the bat spec mens of artistic skill in cut and Workmanship ; au experiment which has proved more than success ful this end. T he GENTLEMEN'S WINTER OVERCOATS, and the other ar tki es of attire, when inspected, will prove that the proprietors are not dealing in exaggerated terms in thus recommending the present fit°. de of Attire. n LADIES' HABITS, E. MOSES and SON intend to convince weir supporters, that as Fashionable Tailors, they are neither to be at a' Passed nor equalled by many degrees. Their STOCK of JUVENILE CLOTHING calls alike for terms of mole highest recommendation. Wh•re this branch of the Tailoring ) racle has been too often overlooked or slighted, E. MOSES and SON wive made it a point of particular study ; nor do they question fur a trlOrc tent th a t' th e i r en d eavours w ill secure anyt hi ng s h or t o f th e we hest approbation. A conspicuous fea'ure at tire New West. end Branch of E. MOSES alt I SON is that of a STOCK of RE tDY-MADE LIVERIES, which, ough elegant in the extrem , , and superior in material, are sold at Prices exceedingly advantageous to the purchaser. The attention of 3 Nobility and Gentry's particularly directed to this branch of the Pr( Trietors' business in New Oxforti.streat. :A STOCK of SUPERIOR MOURNING, at prices less than those eb arged anywhere else, by 50 per cent., is also deserving of prom'. at mention. No advantage will be taken in the furnishing of ih eye articles of the melancholy circumstances of bereavement, or of tb e haste in the adoption of such attire—circumstances which have to 0 often led to imposition on the part of tradesmen. The SHOOTING-COSTS, FISHING-COATS, LOUNGING mO AT;, ant the various ready-made goods are in keeping with the its t of the articles s id ; and the most extreme satisfaction must re sult ; from an inspection and trial of the Stock. large and Tashi: noble Collection of HATS and CAPS adds m uc h 40 the recommends ions of the new Branch 'louse; and the Public 44 r( t assured that here their interests are equally consulted. „ the system which the i.ro, factors intend to pursu e a t th e i r N ew itaSlislintent is not new. Their old system of cheapness, coupled ith quality and fashloa will be in operation at the Branch House as it the Origin oh Establishment. The Return of Cash or Exchange of Goods, and the marking the 14 ice of each article in ;lain figures, wili in no way be departed from at the West-end Branch. Before concluding this announcement E. MOSES and SON would hi. nt that their New Premises in Oxford-street are of the most novel, e 1 egant, and commodious description. The Estab.ishment is au Ex hi bitten itself, quite alone in point of style, convenience, and dccora -11. m —and is well deserving a visit from the curious in these matters. A n excursion, in fact, would be well repaid by a view of this supctb tr itding structure, of which no idea can be formed except u on hi ll 'cotton. The proprietors take this opportunity inviting the Public to view tl teir New West-end Branch Establishment, whether purchasing or Ot ; where every attention will be paid to them, and every informa ti on given. Having thus announced the opening of the New Branch Establish "' * lent, and having touched (in as brief a manner as possible) on the r ecommendations there held out, E. MUSES and SON would• ac k nowledg.: gratefully that vast amount of favour at the ha di of the 1 iublie, to which alone they can date this proud advance in their ' speculations ; and the proprietors would assure the Public, that it is their determination to merit renewed support, by an adherence at the New Establishment to those principles which have worked so well at the Old. *** Will be OPENED at Ten o'clock on TUESDAY MORNING, Use Bth of OCTOBER.

We had an opportunity yesterday morning of wit nessing in operation, at the Bull Hotel, Bishopsgate street, an ingenious machine, adapted to one of the most desirable and economical eurposes—that of weighing all coals on delivery. The patent of the invention has been taken out by Messrs. Batters, Clements, and Co., the eminent coal-merchants of Westminster ; and the experiments were made in the presence of several gentlemen connected with the coal trade, besides others interested in the success of a process by which a notorious species of fraud, sadly injurious to the public, might be materially lessened. The machine is simply an application of the beam and scale principle, a table being drawn from the end of the waggon, from which the sacks are taken by the coal-heaver, during the progress of which the weight of each is determined to an ounce, whether a registry of the same is required or not. Considering the vast magnitude of coal consump tion—extending to above three millions cf tons per annum—this convenience is obviously one of vital importance. The Act of Parliament, Ist and 2.1 Viet., cap. 101, declares that all coals shall be weighed in place of the previous practice of measuring, an enactment which has left open a wide field for imposition. The provisions, however, of an Act of Parliament have not been found sufficient to protect the public ; and the nefarious trader still reaps a large reward from his malpractices, well knowing that in the majority of instances the quiet house keeper prefers running the risk of being defrauded rather than incur the annoyances incident to the pre sent cumbrous mode of weighing the sacks, or else is totally unable, in a crowded thoroughfare, to avail him self of the test authorised by law. It it, therefore, a matter of surprise, that an appendage so simple as that of Messrs. Batters' has never been thought of until the present moment. But now that a machine so immediately available has been constructed for the especial defence of the consumer, the weighing ceases to be a thing of difficulty, and the Legislature might properly compel its adoption, as it did some years ego when a change was peremptorily made from measure to weight. The transit of the coals from the waggon into the cellars of Mr. Came fully proved that the inventors of the apparatus have not over-estimated its practicability ; and as a load is delivered in an equally brief space of time, and with equal ease to the men, as though they were not weighed, we think the public may be reasonably recommended to guard themselves against short weight in future by insisting upon the use of those vehicles to which the machine of Messrs. Batters is affixed. MR.

SUPPOSED TRACES OF. sia J. FRANKLIN. The following letter from Captain Forsyth, report ing the return of this little expedition, cogsisting of his solitary veTsel the Prince Albert, will be read with the deepest interest, not only for the intelligence it conveys, but for the extraordinary and unexampled exploit performed—for it is nothing less—during one short season in the Arctic Seas. - _ It will be fresh in the recollection of our readers that this branch expedition, equipped by-the untiring energies of Lady Franklin, aided by a' few private personal friends and public sympathisers in the cause —Equipped, 'too, in the space of three short weeks — left the port of Aberdeen after all the other wssels had long proceeded on their voyage ; but, unlike - all. those expeditions, she boldly stemmed the waves of the Atlantic, and threaded the icebergs of Baffin's - Bay alone—and would have wiWered alone in those dreary regions, whither she had gone, had any op portunity offered, or prospect even, of potting the vessel into any harbour; as far as we know, how ever, she never once dropped her anchor, unless, in deed, it might have been at the entrance of the Wel lington Channel. In the whole history of Arctic navigation the voy age of the Prince Albert stands 'unexampled. It will be seen that she ran through Lancaster Sound an& Barrow's Strait—sailed down Prince Regent's Inlet to the spot where the Fury was wrecked—crossed to the opposite side, to Port Bowen, and then ran up the straits as far as the entrance of Wellington Channel ; and after again running the gauntlet of Barrow's Straits and Baffin's Bay, hats rettituedjo England to give us the intelligence !ilia brings, which thousands are now perusing with feelings of the . most profound interest. We have seen private letters from this expedition which show more clearly than this dry official report —which, "as an officer in her Mhjesty's navy (not under any employment or countenance of the Admi ralty) he felt it his duty to make to the Board"—how unjustifiable it would have been for Captain Forsyth to have attempted to remain out, with an ice master and ice mate, ignorant in'the extreme, and always at variance one with the other, and eventually 4 , fi g hti ng it out" on the quarter-deck, par nubile fratrum, forcibly reminding us of old Stephan° and Trinculo, together with other circumstances not necessary to enter into h , re. We heartily congratulate this little expedition on its safe return, and cordially wish Captain Forsyth the advancement he so well deserves for his most anxious and well-managed voyage, under the most trying circumstances. It may be generally known that Captain Forsyth served under Sir John Fraklin in Australia, in com mand of some colonial " vessel, and that in gratitude for the kindness shown to him by S'r John, Lady Franklin (whose hospitality to all parties when Sir J.hn was Governor of Van Diemen's Land was pro verbial) induced him to volunteer his services gra tuitously in this sacred and noble cause. CAPTAIN FORSYTH'S DISPATCHES. The following dispatches were received at the Admiralty-office yesterday : " Prince Albert, Aberdeen, Oat. 1. " Sir,—l have the honour to report my return to England, and take the earliest opportunity of com municating, for my Lords Commissioners' informa tion, that traces of the missing expedition under Sir John Franklin have been found at Cape Riley and Beechy Island, at the entrance to the Wellington Channel. " The annexed document was copied from one left in a cairn at Cape Riley, by Captain Ommaney, the day previous to our visiting it. We observed five places where tents had been pitched, or stones placed as if they bad been used for keeping the lower part of the tents down ; also a great quantity of beef, pork, and birds' bones, a piece of rope, with the Woolwich naval mark in it (yellow), part of which I have en closed. Her Majesty's ships Assistance and Intrepid, when last seen by me, on the 25th of August, whilst off Point Innis, appeared to be well over with Cape Hotham, carrving-a press cf sail, with a strong breeze from the westward. Penny's vessels were also in the entrance of the Straits, and two American brigantines, working over towards Cape llotham. " As an officer belonging to her Majesty's service, although not having been especially sent out by her Majesty's Government, I deem it incumbent on me Ito inform their Lordships of the part this vessel has taken in the search. The Prince Albert, under my command, left Aberdeen on the sth of June last. On the 21 of July, after experiencing a succession of westerly gales, we arrived off Cape Farewell. On the 15th, met some whalers off the Black Hook, returning to the southward, not having been able to accomplish the passage round Melville B sy. On the 19th, entered tha ice, and on the 21st came up with Sir John Ross in a labyrinth of heavy icebergs. On the 23 !, met the remainder of the fleet of whalers coming to the southward. " On the 26th made out Captain Austin's and Mr. Penny's, vessels beset is the ice, about 15 or 20 miles to the northward of us. From this time to the 9th of August we were generally beset, occasionally expe riencing some very heavy sh oc k s , w h en we succeeded in getting into a lead, an d passe d C a ptain Austin within a few miles still b eset.

The flag-staff had been what we could sea blown down, and was lying On the outer or western Wollaston Island a notice on the was left recording our • •the disposition visit and Majesty's ships, Ste. " The gale having increased would not admit of our further examination of the coast at this time ; we were obliged in consequence, of its violence to stand out in the strait, and heave the v essel to in the midst of drift ice. On its moderating the next day we found ourselves off Cape York- AsLe o was still blowing strong, I bore up for Port pold. At three A.M., on the 21st, arrived off the har bour, but found it closed with heavy ice. With much difficulty our boat succeeded in getting in by being hauled some distance over the ice. It appeared by a document left at the flagstaff that the North Star had called here on the 1&h, but from the state of the ice was unable to land her provisions, and had I-ft this to attempt to land them at Port Power or Neil ; other wise eveything appeared to have been untouched since her e Majesty's shiPs I""tigator and Enterprise left last year. As it was intended by the parties who fitted this vessel out that she should proceed to Brentford Bay and commence operations from that place, I mado the best of my way up Prince Regent's Inlet in order to effect that object. As we drew up towards Fury Beach, the land ice gradually ex tended off the shore, commencing a little to the southward of Port Leopolkl, up to within 10 or ]5 miles of Fury. Po w, when it stretched directly across the inlet, apparently/ in front of Port Bower. Find ing great quantities of drift i setting up the inlet, and likely to close me in, with no port to take refuge in, I stood out to the northward, with the in tention of proceeding down the western side of North Somerset. On reaching the north end of Leopold Island I found the pack extending from th.erce across Barrow's Strait, towards the entrance of Wellington Channel. Afr«r having forced our way through great quantities of heavy drift ice, the vessel receiving many seve re concussions, we got in with the land between Capes Herschel and Hurd, and examined the coast as far as Point Innis, in the Wellington Channel, without finding any further traces of the missing parties, with those already mentioned at Cape the exception of Riley. " There being no possibility of my penetrating to the S.W., as I had intended, from the heavy ice in that direction, I ran back to Prince Regent's Inlet The appearance of the ice being much the same, with no port to enter in the vicinity of my future opera tions, I was most reluctantly obliged to give up the idea of remaining in these regions, m ore particularly as the season was fast advancing, when the ice begins to form, and I know from experience if this vessel was once caught there would he no chance of our getting. out again, as she has no power.to bore through it ; I there fore determined, after most mature consideration, to return to England. On the 27th I ran into E-U•dley Bay, near Cape York, and landed a notice with some provisions. Before our men could get on board a gale commenced with a heavy sea, which nearly drove us on shore under the Cape. Oa the 291 I examined the western side of the entrance to Admiralty Inlet, thence across to Elwin Bay, keeping close alongshore to Possession Bay ; off which place I fell in with the North Star, which I found had met with the same ' impediment' in Prince Regent's Inlet as ourselves, and had, consequently, not succeeded in entering either Ports Bowen or Nut, but had landed hir pro visions inside the Wollaston Islanda.. We found that the Resolute had visited Possession Bay on the 13th, Captain Austin having left the night previous in the Pioneer to visit Pond's Bay. On the 21 and 31 of September I examined the shores of Pond's Bay, but could discover no traces of Captain Austin's having been there. Perhaps the North Star may have been more fortunate, as I saw her standing in on the even ing of my departure. On the 4th we lost sight of Cape Bowen, near Pond's Bay, and on the Ist inst. arrived here, being the last. and smallest vessel, that left England, and the first that arrived in Barrow's Strait.—l have, &c., " CHARLES C. FORSYTH, Commander, R.N. " To the. Secretary 'to the Admiralty, Whitehall." True copy of a paper found at Cape Riley : "HER MAJESTY'S ARCTIC SEARCHING EXPEDITION. " This is to certify that Captain Ommanney, with the officers of her Majesty's ship Assistance and In trepid, landed at Cape Riley on the 23d of August, 1850, where he found traces of an encampment and collected the remains of materials which evidently prove that some party belonging to her M:jesty s ships have been detained on this spot. Beechy Island was also examined, where traces were found of the same party. " This is also to give notice that a supply of pro visions and fuel is at Port Leopold. Her Majesty's ships Assistance and Intrepid were detached from the squadron under Captain Austin, off Wolstenholme, on the 15th inst., since which they have examined the north shores of Lancastar Sound and Barrow's Straits, without meeting any other traces. Captain Om manney proceeds to Cape Hotham and Cape Walker, in search for further traces of Sir John Franklin's expedition. " Dated on hoard her Majesty's ship Assistance, off Cape Riley, August 23, 1850. " ERASMUS OMMANNEY." The following is a private letter we have received from Aberdeen : " The news brought by the Prince Albert is most important, as it goes to prove that the missing expe dition has been at Barrow's Straits at no very dis tant period ; but God knows what has le-come of them since then. The Assistance, it is thought, must have some further clue to them by the way in which she was rushing over towards Cape Hothatn when the Prince Albert left. Captain Forsyth was very much mortified at being obliged to return ' • but what was he to do? He could not get to within seventy miles of Brantford Bay, and it was impossible to travel over such impassable ice. All the ports in the inlet were closed against him ; and the only alternative he had was to go to some place and winter, from which, perhaps, he would not have got out until this time next year, and thus would have entailed an immense deal of ex pense on Lady Franklin without reaping any adequate benefit; in fact, without doing the slightest good, or in any way forwarding the object of this expedition. Look at the North Star. She wintered in Wolstenholme Sound, and Captain Forsyth arrived at Port Leopold six days after her. The Prince Albert was the last and smallest vessel that left England, and the first to arrive in the strait. She is, also, the smallest craft that has ever penetrated so far to the westward in Wellington Channel. " All the officers and ships' companies of the search ing expedition were enjoying excellent health. Cap tain Forsyth believes they had not a man on the sick list of either ship. The steamers have behaved admi t rably. Captain Austin says he does not know what he should have done without them. They were found to be of the utmost service as pioneers. When they came to the neck of the ice, the steamers would cast off their tow=rope, and dash at it, cutting into ice 12 and 15 feet thick, then clapping on their devil's claws, backing astern, and roussing' the masses out by wholesale. They also found blasting of much service. The Intrepid has strained the frame-work of her en gines a little, but nothing material. The whalers were astonished to see the little craft Prince Albert amongst the ice. She appeared to be a mere boat alongside their great hulks. " The Prince Albert received some severe shocks in getting round Melville Bay. Captain Austin said Commander Forsyth must be a second 'Baffin' to have attempted it in such a little thing. " Unfortunately the ice-masters of the Prince Al bert never agreed as to the best way to get through the ice; one of them, who had lost a ship there some years ago, was for always stopping to see if the ice would open; so the whole of the fag devolved on the commander, and altogether this ship has been one of never-ceasing hard work and difficulty to him. The two ice-masters were men who could not write their own names, and were regular northern bears; so Captain Forsyth's position has not been a very plea sant one. " The Prince Albert saw the North Star off Pond's Bay on the 3d September, homeward bound. " The vessels at the entrance of the Wellington Channel when the Prince Albert left were—The As sistance, Capt. Ommanney ; and the Intrepid, screw tender, Lieut. Commander B. Cutor ; Capt. Penny's two vessels, Lady Franklin and Sophia, and the two American ships Advance and Rescue. The latter were almost solid pieces of timber, and so far aft as the foremast they were perfectly so. They intend wintering at Melville Island ; so does Capt. Austin ; and Capt. Penny was also inclined to make that iland his winter quarters. Penny could no t ge t i n to Jones's or Smith's Scaled. " The Prince Albert remains at Aberdeen for a day or two, waiting instructions from Lady Franklin." [PRICE SD. reached, and has bad a splendid run on her home ward passage. With regard to the positions of the other expedi tions when last seen. it may be stated, that on Aug. 25th, when the Prince Albert was between Cape Spencer and Cape Tunes, in Wellington Channel, Mr. Snow went at noon to the mast-head, and saw the Assistance as near as possible within Cape Hotham —Penny's two ships, the Lady Franklin and Sophia, were in the mid channel—the American brigantine Rescue was close beset with ice near Cape Bowen. These were the only vessels to be seen there. The Intrepid could not be seen, but she was doubtless in company with the Assistance. The ice was very heavy, and extended all around, from Prince Leopold's Island to Cape Farewell, westward, so as to prevent any possibility of reaching Cape Walker; Cape Hc them might he reached with difficulty. In Welling ton Channel there was a great deal of ice, but it admitted of passages being made, in which the ships were working ; and Captain Penny was pushing up the channel boldly. Captain Austin, with the Resolute, had the Prince Albert in tow on the 16th of August, and carried her to the entrance of Lancaster Sound. They then parted company, and did not meet again ; but it was found that the Resolute had been into end examined Possession Bay on the 17th of August.- The Pioneer had been detached from the Resolute, and was pro ceedinr in the direction of Cape Walker. The Felix, it was understood, was to make for Admiralty Inlet, and the last report of her was that she was standing to the northward, Sir John Ross being in doubts whether he should not return to England. The other American vessel, the Advance, when last seen, was ashore near Borrow's Bay, but was expected to he got off. The Prince Albert has accomplished much during the short visit which silt- 1:a:; paid to the Arctic lie gions. We have already stated tint she had been in the Wellington Channel, which has not often been explored, and which Sir James Ross flilA to reach. She has also been at Fury Beach, a point not reached by any vessel for nearly twenty years. It was, how ever, utterly impossible to Lind there on account of the ice. The whole of the coasts of Baffin's Bay were also examined, but no traces found of Franklin. As to the whalers, the Prince Albert brings no in telligence which has not already been communicated to the public by previous arrivals from the fishing ground. The crew of the Prince Albert, as well as those of all the ships of the expedition, have enjoyed good health and spirits, in the important enterprise in which they hove been engaged ; and have, in short, felt no want hitherto, but that of success in the object of their search.

The directors of the Portsmouth Sailors' Home acknowledge with many thanks a donation of Si., re ceived by them in aid of the funds of the institution from Lieutenant-Commander Selwyn, the officers, and crew of her Mrje ship Teazer, just paid off. MALTS, SEPT. 27.—The cholera is fast decrcasing. The Merlin steam-packet, Lieutenant-Commander Tamer, with the homeward India mail, is just telc graphed. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Po!tinger, from Constantinople, arrived yes• terday with A full cargo of fruit. She left this morning at half-past ten, A.M., for Gibraltar and Southampton, On the Merlin being telegraphed the (From the Aberdeen Journal of Oct. 2.) The Prince Albert, Commander Forsyth, arrived between eight and nine o'clock last night (the crew all well), and brings some important particulars in addition to the intelligence brought by the North Star, and which are contained in the following state ment, kindly furnished us by Mr. Snow, second in command : Commander Forsyth did not stop at Port Bawer, as has been stated in the accounts brought by Captain Saueders. He attempted twice to land at Port Leo pold, but was prevented by the ice, over which the boats had to be dragged. When there he met the American brigantine Advance, and, in company with her, went over to Cape Hurd, and up Barrow s Straits. Ile then proceeded to Cape Spencer, at Wel lington Channel. Here there was a great deal of ice. Bore up on the 25th August, when Mr. Snow was sent to examine Cape Reilly. Here he found the Advance, which was aground. Mr. Snow found traces on Cape Reilly of five or six tents, or encamp ments, which, from, certain peculiarities, be knew to be those of a vessel in her Majesty's service. He found that the Assistance, Capt. Ommanney, had been at Cape Reilly two days before, and had left the no tice given above. Mr. Snow states that the traces of the encampments of a vessel in her Majesty's service were very e vident: The seamen who were dispatched from the Assistance to examine these remains found a rope with the ' Woolwich mark evidently belon g in g to a vessel which had been fitted out at Woolwich, and which, in all pro‘eability, was either the "Erebus" or the " Terror." Other indications were also found, which showed that some vessel had visited the place besides the Assistance. Mr. Snow left a notice that the Prince Albert had called off Cape Reilly on the 25th of August. When Mr. Snow returned on board, the Pi ince Albert bore up for Cape York, on the eastern side of Prince Regent's Inlet. The ice extend( d completely across fcem land to land, and quite blocked up the passage down the Inlet. On reaching Cape Yotk, Mr. Snow again went on shore, and found a cairn f stones, but no traces of anything. He left tip o cases of pemmican. As it was perfectly obvious from the state of the ice that the object of the expedition—the explora tion of Prince Regent's Inlet, and the passages con necting it with the western seas—could not be car ried into effect, Commander Forsyth resolved to re turn to England, and the Prince . Albert then bore up to the eastward. Commander Forsyth landed at Possession Bay on the morning of the 29th August, but nothing was found th ere t o repay th e searc h in stituted. Oa the Ist of September, the Prince Albert got into Pond's Bay. Mr. Snow was again sent on shore to make ansexamination of four points of land there, but on none of them could any traces be found of the objects of the search. Tney came cut of Pond's Bay on the 21 September. There was no ice to the eastward, nor on the whole passage homewards from Wellington Chancel. The Prince Albert has explored regions which have seldom been TREMENDOUS CONFLAGRATION.-- Last night, shortly before ten o'clock, a fire, in- .4) . volving a most serious destruction of property, broke out in the manufacturing premises belonging to Messrs. W. W. and It. Brooks, tallow-welters, No. 1, Southwark-bridge-road, nearly facing the brigade engine-station. The premises extended from Southwark-bridge road into Little Guildford street, where they had another frontage rind entrance. The whole occupied nearly half an acre of ground, and comprised the melting-houses, the making shops, spacious stores filled with dips and m iulds of great value, the ware houses containing a large and miscellaneous stock, and the store-rooms for depositing casks of tallow in the raw. This property was adjoined by the flax-ware house, belonging to Mr. Ward, in Little Guildford street, and Templar's Cottages in the same street, whilst several shops and a Welsh chapel abutted upon the factory in the front road. The fire commenced in the melting-house. At the time a number of men were engaged at one of the pans melting some tallow, and, whilst stirring it, the 1N hole contents, about 2 cwta beceme ig n it e d. The men, knowing that the application of water to such an article whilst on fire would be of no use, made an endeavour to smother the flames by covering the top of the pen. Unfortunately that expedient proved completely futile, for the flames immediately shot forth with the greatest fury, and set the flooring of the shops over it in a blaze before the mrn therein had time to be fully aware of what had occurred. The men who were in the last-named apartments were obliged, in order to save their lives. to jump down stairs through an immeese sheet of flame The bri gade engines were immediately taken from the oppo site station to the burning premises, at which time an abundant stream of water was flowing from the mains in the district. The engines were charged with water and in full work in less than five minutes after the outbreak ; but owing to the inflammable nature of the stock in trade the fla:3s travelled with rapidity, and ignited almost einaulatneously the store-houses, making shops, the spacious warehouses, and some hundred frames filled with candle , . 'fie scene then became fear ful in the extreme ; for such was the fury of the confla gration, that the tiles and slates of the roofs were shi vered into a LI - miser - el pieces, while the fragments were scattered over the neighbourhood like so many fire balls in a state of combustion. But a very brief period elapsed ere huge 'thews of flame broke through the roof, and mounted some hundred feet into the air, causing the district to be as light as noon, whilst the lofty objects in the City and the vessels in the Thames were brought out in bold relief. This caused the more distant engines to be turned out, so that a great many more engines of the London Brigade and West of England Office were enabled to reach the scene before sufficient time had elapsed to send for them. The whole of this powerful force was called into ope ration, but in spite of the exertions of the firemen, the flames extended to the flax-:warehouse of Air. Ward, Little Guildfard-street, to one of the Templar's Cot tages, and to the backs of several houses in the South wark-bridge-road. The firemen, however, by great perseverance, and owing to the judicious directions of their superior officers, succeeded in cutting oft the further extension of the devastating element; but at half-past eleven o'clock a greet body of fire still re mained in Messrs. Brooks' factory. The damage done is very considerable, as the whole of the manu facturing premises and stores are levelled with the ground. Fortunately the firm was insured in the Phenix and Sun Fire Offices. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN. The site decided on by this company for their new station at Chester will be close to the city walls, at a point that gives facilities for connecting their own traffic with that of the Shropshire Union, the canals, and river. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE. After the amendment on the motion for ten di rectors, as the b of the new board, on Wednesday, had been referred to a poll, as mentioned in our yesterday's report, the meeting rc-sutnecl business. Mr. MOWATT, M.P., moved that in addition to the ten gentlemen whom he had already moved as the basis of the new board, the number of directors to be increased to 22, by the addition of the •following wanes :—Messrs. Akroyd, Harper, T. Barnes, Brog den, Botterell, W. Evans, S. Fielden, H. Houlds worth, F. Mowatt, A. Watkin, W. Rawson, and Joseph Thornton. Dlr. T. FIELDEN seconded the motion. Mr. HARPER, as a retiring director, and indifferent about his own election, strongly advocated the policy of electing Mr. Mowatt, as a gentleman who, even if he should be Excluded by the turn of a few votes obtained by proxy, would still have with him the feeling of a large body of the active proprietors at tending business meetings, and they could never hope for peace. Mr. G. Wirsow expressed his unfeigned astonish ment that Mr. Garnett, as the representative of the old board, should have omitted from their list the name of Mr. Henry Hou!Osworth, their late chair man, and said, thou,cfh it might cost him his own seat at the board, he would vote for the list which con tained that gentleman's name.—(Cheers.) Mr. W. GARNETT here came - forward to move as an amendment the list to which Mr. Wilson had re ferred, and which he had previously read over in en incomplete state. He mewed that the board be in creased to 20 members, including At sArs. T. Barnes, J. Crossland, S. Fielden, J. Andw, E. B. Beaumont, J. Hargreaves, J. Hohne, J. Ralph, H. Hornby, and J. Riley. _ _ _ _ Mr. PARSONS seconded the amendment. On a show of hands, the CHAIRMAN declared the amendment lost. Mr. GARNETT demanded a poll, and as the poll on the previous amendment had not yet been completed, the meeting was now adjourned till 12 o'clock yes terday, to resume business when the result of the poll was ascertained. The prcceedings of the meeting so f.r were over by 7 o'clock in the evening, but the poll lasted the whole night. Yesterday morning the business was to have been resumed at, 12 o'clock, but the Secretary informed the meeting that the poll was not yet over, and the Chairman declared the proceedings further adjourned to that time. At 4 o'clock, however, the nurnbt.. , rs were not ready, and the meeting was waiting at 5, when our report was dispatched. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, Ocr. :3.
