The puls namelyheublic has been felt, ' 11)E -.aar,id e_re Tie eGinion prevailing, that in the openin , of E e‘ 11 / 4 1°S E , 1 and SON'S West Mid Branch Establishment, a DES TUM has been unquestionably supplied. tiThe EIGHTH of OCTOBER, 1850, was regarded by all parties as important conjuncture in the Trading transactions of the ,welitern locality • and long before 'the Opening, Day arrived. an -Yiewulterest and anXio'us expectation were clearly manifest. The public cd their own interests as intimately conn ec t e d w i t h t h i s specu lation; and man y were the inquiries as to ta it probable commence ment of the business of the Establishment, while yet the premises Were unfinished. On thd Day.of Opening a feeling of excitement prevailed similar:to that attendiug the opening of seine public eedfice; and the Eighth of October pa , Sed off as a day of the melt triiimphant success. The Vessel was launched amid the smiles of an approving public ; and E. MOSES and SON had more than sufficient to warrant them in the corichision that they had not taken a wrote g step in embarking in So necessary a speculaton. The I‘. v ast concourse of peop l e around the Pew Premises (a con course witi,out precedent in that locality), was an evident sign of , th e public f eel i ng on the subject ; and the frequent cheers which burst from the multitude told plainly that the. opening of E. MOSES and SON was hailed as an advantageous irn provement at that int- Portant part of the growing metropolis. While the most encouraging proofs of public approbation were observable out-of-doors; while crowds all day long were pressing r ound the New Premises anxi ous to catch a arlimpse of the elegant W inter Fashions arranged in the capacious • rindows, the Establish. ruent in its interior was a scene of equal anin,iation. THE sHOW-ROONIS and the various departments were thronged With visitors who gazed with mingled wonder and pleasure at the beauty and accommodation of the arrange rnent of the premises. Every body was satisfied, and but one opinion, prevailed as to the elegance of the various portions of the Establishment being stabler prevailed to the more essential purposes of public a,3commodation. .._ Nor is this all. H ad the numberless parties who visited the NEW idItANCH. ESTABLISHMENT of E. MOSFiS and SON done no Item than pronounce their approbation of the premises, or their co incidence with the Proprietors' views, E. MO SES and SO g would have had wherewithal to congratulate themselves. But the favour of the public was evinced is a more sterling and ta ngible form. _ The ORDER -BOOKS i n the BESPOKE DEPARTMENT told tales n of su ccess which were highly encouragin g proprietors. e 'continual succession of important at e - s to for the the WINTER ATTIRE of E. MOSES and SON, from )ersons of rank and affluence, distinguished' the opening and su. iceeding days of the lIEW BRANCH ESTABLISHMENT. ()THE READY-MADE DEPARTMENT 'was equally favoured, II() t from any impulse arising from the noveltr of the o p en i ng , b ut from a firm reliance in E. MOSES and SON'S princiles, and a n admiratio n created by an inspection of the elegan p t.fashions from for the season: The \Vest End has not displayed a trading scene so ani reated—so busy—since it has been a peopled lor ;a lity.

The following reports have been received at the Admiralty on the various substances brought from Cape Riley by Captain Forsyth, supposed to be evi dences that Sir John Franklin and his expedition had made some stay at that spot : ITaslar Hospital, Oct. 11, 1850. Sir,—On receiving your letter of the 7th inst., and the box containing bones, canvas, rope, and wood re cently found at Cape Riley, upon which their Lord ships desire a report from Sir John Richardson and myself, I considered the best way of complying with their Lordships' wishes would be to refer the bones and wood for examination to Sir John Richardson, whos'e skill and experience in such matters are greatly superior to mine, and to give my own attention more particularly to the pieces of rope and canvas. I bane now the honour to enclose Sir John Richard son's report, and to offer the following suggestions of my own : The only questions of any material interest are two 2. Were the articles left at Cape Riley by any of Sir John Franklin's people ? 2. If so, about what period ? Independently of Sir John Franklin's expedition, there are, prima facie, only three possible ways of accounting for the rope and canvas being found at Cipe Riley :- 1. They might have been left by the parties under the command of Lieutenants Beechey and Hoppner, whom I sent to examine the coast on our first disco very of it, on the 22d of August, 1819. 2. If the rope and canvas beloniaed'to the Fury when we lost her in Prince Regent's Inlet in 1825 (having landed all her stores on the beach for heaving the ship down), it is possible that ;these articles may have been discovered by the Esquimaux, appropriated to their own use, and carried to Cape Riley in the course of their peregrinations. 3. The articles might have been conveyed by one of Sir James Ross's travelling parties detached from his ships in Port Leopold, in the spring of the year 1849. In dealing with these possibilities, we may, I think, arrive at the following conclusions :- 1. It is quite • - certain that no encampment was formed at Cape Riley by, Lieutenants Beechey and Hoppner, the parties were on shore only a few minutes, having been , recalled in consequence of a fair wind springing up. Nor could the piece of rope have been left by them, since the yellow worsted thread is pronounced by the officers of Chatham yard to fix, beyond all doubt, the date of its manufacture "subsequent to the year 1824, as the order assigning different coloured worsteds to each yard bears date April 21 of that year." 2. The order just referred to was issued exactly three weeks before I left England with the Hecla and Fury, on that voyage in which the latter vessel was lost in Prince Regent's Inlet—that is, I left the Nore on the 19:11 of May of the same year (1824), having quitted Deptford on the Bth. These dates coincide so nearly with that of the order above quoted, that I deemed it advisable to write to Captain Richards, superintendent of Chatham Dockyard, to inquire whether he thought it possible that the new regulations of inserting the yellow worsted may, as a special case, have been anticipated in furnishing rope to the Hecla and Fury. Captain Richard's very clear and satisfactory reply (of which I enclose a copy) proves, beyond all doubt, that the rope was not supplied to the Fury ; while the circumstance of its having been made of Hungarian hemp shows that it was not manufactured prior to 1841. 3. The third and last question is merely one of fact; and it has, I understand, been ascertained from Sir James Ross that the party he sent out to the north ward from Port Leopold did not land quite so far westward as Cape Hurd, so that they never approached Cape Riley within thirty miles. The above facts appear to me to lead to the in evitable conclusion that the rope was left at Cape Riley by Sir John Franklin's expedition, and in all probability the canvas likewise, as that also bears the Queen's mark. With respect to the period at which this occurred, which can only be conjectured by the state and ap pearance of the several articles picked up, their Lord ships will observe from Sir John Richardson's very interesting report that, so far as the question admits of solution, there is at least a strong probability of their having been left at Cape Riley about the year 1845. I would, therefore, submit to their Lordships what appears to me the most probable conclusion, namely, that Sir John Franklin's ships having reached this neighbourhood on their way out in 1845, and being stopped there for a time by the state of the ice (as I was, and as we know the present searching expeditions have been), a couple of boats may have been detached from each ship to land at Cape Riley to make the usual observations, collect specimens, and examine the coast—a common occurrence in all such expeditions. If detained for a night, each boat's crew may have pitched its own tent, and one for the officers, making five in all. The only circumstance which I cannot explain (supposing the encampment to have been formed by Sir John Franklin's people) is, the large size of the tents, which Mr. Snow has just described to us as twelve feet in diameter and upwards, and which is certainly very large for tents generally used on such occasions. This may, in part, perhaps, be explained by the stones being thrown from the centre and the circle thus considerably enlarged when ' striking the tents. At the commencement of their enterprise (which, looking to former discoveries, the entrance to Wel lington Inlet may fairly be considered), a party from the Erebus and Terror might not think it of any im portance to leave a notice of their visit, though it is much to be wished that they had ; and I should hope that at some more advanced position Captain Om manney and the other officers will have succeeded in discovering some such notice, affording positive infer are likely to have pursued. On the other hand I feel con fid ent, t h a t if the ex pedition, or any portion of th e peop l e , mation of the missing ship s , and of the rou t e they lied landed at Cape Riley at a more adv ance d per i o d, when suc cess began to be doubtful, a n d espec i a lly if in distress, or with a view to effect thei r escape f ro m the ice, some distinct notice of the f acts wou ld have been l eft at a point so prominent and so lik e ly to be visited as Cape Riley. I may add that under such circum stances it is very highly improbable that provisions so heavy and bulky as salt b ee f an d pork wouldvisions have formed a part of their supply ; an d mutton wou ld, of co urse, have been wholly out of the question. We have received from C omman der Forsyth and ro Mr. Snow (who, according t o th e ir Lordships' direc tions, arrived here this morning) all the information they possess relating to our present inquiry. The box containing the several articles found at Cape Riley will be returned to your a ddress by rail way this evening. —I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, WILLIAM EDWARD PARRY, Captain, R.N.

No. 1. A piece of bone four and a half inches long, being the head and part of the shaft of the fourth rib of the left side of an ox. This has been chopped from the other end by the blow of an axe. No. 2. Six inches and a half of the upper end of the seventh rib of the right side of an ox. The lower end of the rib has been sawed off, and the head broken off. A large part of the s urface of this hone is cor roded, as if from the action of salt. This is the rib of a larger animal than that to which No. 1 belonged, and the head has been broken off recently—that is, subsequently to the alterations of the rest of the sur face by exposure, &c. No. 8. Part of the s eventh dorsal vertebra of an ox, being the piece that articulates with the head of the rib. No. 4 is the lower articular process of the l e ft shoulder bone of a small hog. No. 5 is the upper end of the right thigh bone of a sheep, probably of the Orkney or Highland breed, and rather old. The bone is of a hard compact tex ture, which excited a suspicion in my mind of its being part of the thigh bone of a 504511 northern rein deer; but, having no corresponding bone of that animal for comparison, this is a mere suspicion, and it corresponds closely with the bone of a small shee p, to which, therefore , I am inclined to refer it. It has been notched by the corner of a hatchet, or other sharp cutting instrument. These five pieces o f bone are all that bear on the present inquiry. They have lost little of their original weight ; and indurated animal matter, s h owing large nucleated and common fat globules under the microscope, is contained in the cancellated structure of Nos. 1 and 2. There is a quantity of animal fat in the bottom of the shaft of No. 5. A few granular and simple fat cells, analogous to those existing in marrow, can still be perceived in this fat when exa mined with the microscope : but probably, from ex posure to cold, this marrow, which I conclude it to be, has undergone considerable deterioration. All the'five bones have been much worn or rounded by attrition ; most probably by rolling among gravel in a water course, or on the beach within the wash of the sea. The sharp edges of the sawn and notched pieces are smoothed off, and the softer ends of the bones rubbed down. The head of rib No. 2 alone has been broken since the rest of the bone was ex posed to friction. Taking the climate into considera tion, and particularly the shortness of each season to which the bones can have been exposed to atmosphe rical influences, or to the action of water, they being, of course, covered with snow for ten months in each year, I should say that they cannot have been re duced to their present state in less than four or five years since the flesh was removed from them ; and that they are not much older than that time. A small depterous insect had taken shelter in one of the cells of No. 2, and died there. The other bones—viz., No. 6, a portion of the right shin-bone of a young walrus; No. 7, the lumbar vertebra of a reindeer;` No. 8, the left shoulder-bone of a young seal ; No. 9, a portion of the rib of a walrus, are of very old date, have lost much of their animal matter, are more or less disintegrated, are partially clothed with ancient lichens, and have been most probably exposed to the weather for a half or a whole century, or even longer. They appear to have been imbedded in soil partially or wholly, or lying amongst moist grass, and not on clear gravel, where I conclude, from their condition, the others were found. None of the bones bear the mark of a tooth, as they would unquestionably have done had the place been visited by Esquimaux with dogs since they were deposited there. The other articles picked up at the same place, and sent to be reported on, are— No. 10. A piece of 1f -inch rope, now measuring 44 inches in length, and having an eye spliced at one end, but which is said to have been found when a foot longer, with an eye at both ends. It is bleached on the surface, but is fresh within, so that in some places there remains enough of tar to soil the finger. This rope has been fully reported upon from Chatham, and the date of its manufacture fixed as subsequent to 1841. No. 11. A piece of old canvas, with the Queen's mark, seemingly part of a boat's swab, the length corresponding, and the nail-hole to which it has been fastened to the handle remaining. o. 12. A chip of drift timber, the surface of a knot, which has been exposed for very many years to the action of the atmosphere, so as to break down greatly the connexions of its woo4y fibres. Subse quently to this exposure, and recently, it has been cut from the piece of drift timber to which it belonged by an axe, or other sharp cutting instrument—not a stone hatchet. It has all the external character of wood grown in an arctic climate. On being examined under the microscope its structure was found to differ essentially from that of a coniferous tree, or of any other tree that grows on the banks of the American rivers flowing into the Arctic Seas—from pines and firs in the absence of glandular discs, and from the others in the size and form of the ducts and their markings. It corresponds most closely with the wood of the ash ; and from the amount of intra-cellular de posit in the specimen, it is inferred to have belonged to a tree of considerable age. It has most probably drifted from the Asiatic coast, and its being:found at Cape Riley bears on the currents and passages of the Arctic Sea. The mark of the axe which it bears in dicates the visit of Europeans to the spot where it was found, as it does not appear to have been long exposed since the cut was made—that is, not very many years. As the recent bones have all been rolled and worn down, there is a possibility of their having been cast ashore by the ice. Had they been left at the time of ' Captain Beechey's visit to the same place, on the 22d of August, 1819, I do not think that the oily matter in their cavities would have been found so fresh. But we have no certain observations on the effects of so rigorous a climate in preserving animal matter, and it is to be observed that while the interval between the thawing and freezing of the bones again does not exceed six weeks in each year, 31 years' exposure would be equivalent to only two or three years in the temperate climate of England. The beef bones, almost without doubt, belong to the ordinary pieces of salt beef supplied to the navy —as their length and the way in which they have been chopped and sawed correspond closely with bones from a beef-cask which I examined at Clarence yard. No. 4, lam inclined, with as little doubt, to consider as the remains of a piece of pork. No. 5 may be the relic of an officer's dinner on mutton. The whole evidence to be derived from their condition points to their deposit subsequent to Captain Beechey's visit, and prior to Sir James Ross's win tering at Cape Leopold, and therefore indicates that they were left by parties from Sir John Franklin's ships in the first year of his voyage, when the ships probably were detained waiting for an opening in the ice, and officers had landed from them to make observations. Since the above report was drawn up, I have had the advantage of an interview with Captain For syth and Mr. Snow, in the presence of Sir Edward Parry, and have not found it necessary to modify the conclusions I had previously come to. From Mr. Snow I learnt that the crescentic spit, or low point which runs out from the bluff headland of Cape Riley, has a convex surface, rising in the middle and towards the foot o f the cliff 12 or 14 feet above the water. The cliff formed in that part of the earth, mixed with fragments of the adjacent and underlying limestone, is ascended by su ccess i ve ter races, and on the first, six feet above the spit, or 20 feet above the water, the piece of rope w as f oun d . I t h a d escaped the notice of Captain O mmanney, w h o on the preceding day collected and carried away the evidences that he found of the visit of Sir John Franklin's people, for such is the tenor of the note which he left. The bones were picked up by the seamen of Mr. Snow's boat, around certain rings of stones on the spit, while that gentleman was busy transcribing Captain Ommanney's note of the 24th, with Lieutenant de Haven's on the 25th, and adding to the originals a notice of his own visit. Captain Forsyth, on interro gating the seamen, learnt that they left behind many birds' bones, and brought away only the beet bones and such as looked most like the relics of ships' pro visions. The tide rises there from three t o f o ur feet, and Captain Beechey found the rocks worn smooth and hollowed out by the action of the waves and ice to the height of 13 feet. The influences of these agents, with the effects of the strong rills emanating from melting snow, and pouring down the sides of the cliff, will account fully for the bones having been so rolled since they were left. The rings of stones, five in number, vary, Mr. Snow says, from 12 feet in diameter to twice as much. They did not strike his eye on landing, but his attention was called to them by the men, who also observed two or three stones placed so as to rest a kettle on. Captain Beechey says, that had circular stones been on the spit when he landed he would have noticed them. Their subsequent formation points to the visit of Sir John Franklin's party. On the other hand, if that party made fires either of coal or wood the remains of the fires, if sought for, would certainly be found. The Esquimaux use oil lamps, which produce much smoke, for cooking, and place stones for the support of their stone kettles, so that unless the encampments had been examined with re ference to these points, and to the indications given by the surfaces of the stones as to whether they had been turned within a few years, no very certain de ductions can be made, especially as the rings were not so conspicuous as to strike the eye . at once. But there is nothing to invalidate the opinion formed on other grounds of the spot affording traces of the dis covery ships. In the examination of the wood and animal matt e r s I have availed myself of the experience of my assis tant, Dr. Clark, in the use of the microscope, and beg to enclose a note of some of his observations. I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, JOHN RICHARDSON. MEMORANDUM OF SOME OF THE MICROSCOPIC OBSER VATIONS MADE ON THE WOOD, AND ANIMAL MATTER OF THE BONES, BROUGHT BY CAPTAIN FORSYTH FROM CAPE RILEY, BY ANDREW CLARK, M. 1)., ASSISTANT-SURGEON. Examined with the naked eye, the portion of wood submitted to me for examination appeared of a pale ashen-grey colour, contorted, gnarl e d, an d di spose d in wavy fi brous fasc i culi. It was muc h s h r i ve ll e d also. The surface had a shining, a most silvery ap pearance, and there were other indications of its pro longed subjection to the influence of air and water. It resembled a piece of oak, in fact, after long exposure. At the suggestion of Sir John ,Richardson, I made it my first ohj2ct to determine whether the wood belonged to any indigenous tree. From the size of the woody fibres—pleurenchyma —and the absence of the so-called "glandular discs," the wood evidently belonged to none of the coniferee. From the birch, the specimen under examination [PRICE SD. differed in the size of the woody fibres and in the character of the porous vessels or ducts—bothren chyme. In the birch, the woody fibres are short and spindle-shaped • the porous vessels are larger; one side of many Of them is barred or scalariform, and the markings upon them are larger and more regular than in the specimen examined. From the willow also the wood under examination is distinguished by the character of its porous vessels. In the former the vessels are larger; the markings upon them are pretty regular hexagonal—each hexa gonal spot being about 1 . 1,200 of an inch in diameter, and having a central, sometimes double diffractive nuclear spot, which by transmitted light is of a bright yellowish brown colour. The structure of the wood of the poplar resembles that of the willow, except that the markings on the ducts are larger, baing about 1.900 of an inch in dia meter, and that there is but one central oblong nuclear spot. The willow also, therefore, differed essentially from the wood in question. From the oak, which it resembled externally, it was found to differ essentially in its minute structure. In the oak, the porous tissue is more abundant, its transverse diameter is smaller, and the markings upon it not only larger and more irregular in shape and size than, but different in character from the specimen sent for examination. The markings of the porous ducts in the oak consist of a central yellowish diffrac tive spot surrounded by a fine black cireumferential line. The spot is oblong, and about one-fourth the size of the investing ring. In the size and character of its woody fibres and porous ducts, the specimen under examination cor responds almost exactly with those of the ash. The only perceptible difference between them is in the amount of intra-cellular deposit—that being by far the greatest in the specimen under examination. From that circumstance I infer that the wood has been removed from a tree of considerable age. I have compared sections of the wood sent with those of various other trees; but as the results are irrelevant to the object in view, I forbear giving them expression. From the examinations made, no doubt is left in my mind as to the character of the wood sent for inspec tion ; it is a piece of old ash. From the disposition of the histological elements of the wood, and from the presence of much refractive matter around the woody fibres, I am disposed to be lieve that the specimen sent has been removed from the immediate neighbourhood of a knotty excresence at or near the root of the stem. The position of the knot I infer from the amount of porous tissue present in the specimen, and the disposition of it around the ligneous fibres. The matter removed from the bones was whitish, had a meliceritious appearance, and was readily melted by the heat of the hand. It contained, along with a very considerable quantity of organic debris, three different kinds of fat cells—two of them almost pecu liar to the marrow of bones. Associated with these was much fatty granular matter and fatty crystals— the results, doubtless, of the disintegration of the cells. From the presence of this matter in the cancelli of the bones, and from the character it exhibited under the microscope, I infer that it cannot have been many years since the flesh was removed from them. The matter removed from the bones I believe to be mar row modified in structure and appearance by the influence of the various physical agencies to which it must have been exposed. ANDREW CLARK. Museum, Hasler Hospital, Oct. Chatham Yard, Oct. 9, 1850. Sir,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of yesterday's date, and in reply thereto have to inform you that a close examination of the re cords of this yard shows :- 1. That the first supply of yellow worsted for mak ing rope was received at this yard from the contractor on the 11th of June, 1824, and was issued to the ropery for use on the 14th of the same month. 2. That there is no reason whatever to suppose that yellow worsted could have been used prior to the 14th of June, in anticipation of the order of the 28th of April, 1824, as up to the 19th of February in that year white worsted was supplied from the store to the ropery, and no further supply occurred till the 14th of June, 1824, when the yellow came into use. 3. Not any cordage from 1 to 2 inch was supplied front this yard to Deptford or Woolwich between the Ist of January, 1824, and the sailing of the expedi • tion under your command on the 19th of May fol lowing, which is accounted for by the Woolwich ropery being then in operation. 4. Any cordage supplied from Woolwich at that time must have borne the mark of white worsted, then used as a universal mark, and after the order of the 28th of April, 1824, it continued the distinguish ing mark at that yard : the remaining store of 'white worsted was transferred from this yard to Woolwich, to be there consumed. The clearness and accuracy of the storekeeper's re port to me, and the great care he has taken in search ing the records of his office, establish these facts as indisputable, and leave no room whatever for doubt as to the rope found at Cape Riley (a specimen of which was sent me fur examination) having been ma nufactured in this yard after the 14th of June, 1824, and therefore it could not possibly have been any part of the supply furnished to either of the ships com posing the expedition to the Arctic Seas under your command, which sailed in May of that year. Indeed, I may go further, and give it as my decided opinion that the rope found at Cape Riley by Com mander Forsyth must have been made in this yard subsequently to 1841. The hemp used in its manufacture is clearly recog nized as Hungariat by the master ropemaker, a man of much ability in his calling, and who, after ample time for the fullest consideration, repeats his opinion as to its character most clearly and decidedly, and it stands proved that no hemp of that growth was re ceived into this yard prior to 1841. I hope this statement will prove satisfactory to you , • hut if you wish to refer further to the records of this yard, I shall have great pleasure in attending to your communication.—l have, &.c., PETER RICHARDS, Captain-Superintendent.

Parry, Hadar Hospital. r A term day is one day in the month on which it was pre-arranged that simultaneous magnetic obeerva tions should be made in all parts of the world; these days were known to Sir John Franklin, and they were the only days on which during the se:ton of ❑avigation those magnetic instruments requiring the tents above alluded towould be employed, LARGE HAWK.—The largest hawk that we recol lect ever having seen in the lowlands of Scotland was shot a few weeks ago on the Boquban Moors, Stirlingshire, by Mr. John Fletcher, of Saltoun. The gallant bird rose from the cleft of a rock, on the high hill nearly opposite to Bollecklain, carrying along with it in its claws the body of a young rabbit. The shot, having passed right through the tip of the left wing, caused the bird to fall, when it was immedia ely cap tured by the gamekeeper, and carried to Boquhan House, where it now is, having nearly recovered. Although quite young, this bird is certainly a noble specimen of the genus falco peregrimis; the length of its wings when expanded measures from tip to tip no less than four feet four inches, and from the beak to the tip of the tail, one foot six inches. Its beak is strong and hooked , the toes long,- and furnished , with powerful claws, and the tail is long and very broad. It is of a dark brown colour, and in excellent plumage.— , Scotsman.

Awarded 10/. No. 10. A Government officer and his wife were passengers by the mail train that left Durham at half past four o'clock P.M. on 6th May, which ran into an engine in the siding from the points not having been properly set, near the Belmont Station of the York, New castle, and Berwick Railway, They were both much hurt by the collision. Awarded 35/. No. 11. An engine -driver, whilst driving the engine of a goods' train on the 25th of May, between Blisworth and Wolverton, was thrown beneath the engine from the train coating in collision with a bale of cloth that had just fallen on the line from a passing train ; he was much scalded and otherwise severely injured. Awarded 421. Claims 12 to 17 were made by parties who were travelling by the excurs on train on the 3d July from Leek and Macclesfield to Liverpool, the weight of which overpowered the breaks on entering the station.

I hope Mr. Wason will, in his next letter, draw the line of distinction between banishment and transpor tation—the former, I consider, would be an act of kindness to those who are driven into crime through necessity, or bad or negligent parents.

ZENO. OBSERVATIONS BY COLONEL SABINE. Perhaps it may throw some light on the fact of there being five tents that the magnetical instruments supplied to Sir John Franklin's expedition would re quire more tents than any previous or any subse quent expedition. There were three magnetical instruments, each of which would require a separate tent, and these three tents would only be entered at stated periods for ob servation. Besides these three, there would be required a fouth tent for miscellaneous observations, and a fifth for the protection of the, observers. I was, therefore, always prepared to expect that whenever the traces of a winter station of the Erebus and Terror should be found, there would be some ap pearance discovered of five tents in the locality where the instruments of the Erebus should be placed, and five for the Terror. I think it probable that the two ships would estab lish their observations at some little distance apart from each other, because it would contribute to con vey a character of independence to each. I think it far more probable that the traces which have been discovered are those of a winter station, than of a sta tion occupied for a few days during the season of navigation, from the quantity of remains of provisions which I understand to have been found, and which are much more than are likely to have been consumed by an observing party during the very short time that the instruments would have been put up at a temporary station. It is quite possible, however, to suppose that the ships may have been stopped during the season of navigation, and without any immediate prospect of getting on, about the time of the monthly term day*, and the tents may have been established and the instruments landed for observation on the term day—that is to say, they may have all been in order for commencing about twelve hours before, and the observations con tinued for twenty-four hours. But at the close of the term day they would without doubt have been em barked with all convenient dispatch. (:)„, - - 2 z x-- €4- - J 7t 7 7 -6- - ) f? - I~` ~_zi ,fit THE MURDER at DODDINGHTJRST BRENTWOOD, TUESDAY NIGHT.— Since the ad journment of the inquest, yesterday afternoon some remarkable facts have come to light in reference to the murder of the unfortunate Jael Denny, the in tense sympathy which is felt for the parents of the deceased being shared to the full by the parents of the prisoner. Born and bred in the parish in which he resides, Mr. Drory, sen., has for the last thirty years been numbered amongst the most respected of its yeomen. He cccupied, in addition to the farm of Brickhouse, near Canterbury Tye, a large and sub stantial holding at Little Burstead ; together they comprised 350 acres, at a rental of about 4001. The family has for generations held a respectable position in the district, and the prisoner himself was always regarded by his neighbours as a young man of the most steady and persevering business habits, though it is alleged by some that he did not appear to possess that amount of keenness and sagacity which young far mers now-a-days lay claim to. At half-past six o'clock on Saturday evening it is stated, though denied by the prisoner, that the deceased was to meet him by appointment at a stile about a quarter of a mile distant from the spot where her body was discovered. If the murder had been committed at this time, as is the general impres sion, Drory must have used the greatest expedition, for shortly before eight o'clock we find him (as will r be proved at the next inquiry) disposing of eggs to Mr. James Millington, a carpenter in the town of Brentwood; and these eggs he must have fetched from his own farm after the perpetration of the hor rible deed. At eight o'clock, having disposed of his eggs, he paid a visit to Mr. Parker, the landlord of the King's Head Inn, Brentwood. He placed his basket, in which the eggs had been contained, in the and, having eaten sixpennyworth of oysters and some bread and butter, he went with Mr. Parker, Mr. Proud, a butcher, and other tradesmen of the town, into the public room, and here he partook of two pints of half-and-half and smoked a pipe of tobacco. His manner at this time appeared to be perfectly calm and consistent with his general character. Mr. Proud and he conversed about farming matters in ge neral, and particularly about a farm which had re cently been let in Mr. Drory's neighbourhood. After Mr. Proud and others had left, Mr. Parker, the landlord, and the prisoner had a long conversation. Mr. Parker stated that be had been at school with Drory's father, and reverted to the many changes that had taken place in that neighbourhood since his childhood. In the course of the conversation Mr. Parker referred to the very footpath near where the body was found, and observed that he remembered it well forty years ago. "In fact," sail Mr. Parker to our informant, " had I known that Drory bad com mitted this murder I could scarcely have spoken upon subjects more likely to call forth some emotion, but during the whole of this interview the prisoner's de meanour was perfectly calm and self-possessed. Drory left the King's Head shortly before 10 o'clock that evening, but whether he then went home has not at present been ascertained, as the servant in the house says he took the keys of the house with him, and he saw nothing more of him until 6 o'clock the following (Sunday) morning, when they hinealsfasted together as usual. In tracing the course of events a very remarkable fact, which has not yet transpired, should here be mentioned. Louisa Lust, the mother of the deceased, declares that when the body of her daughter was discovered, at S o'cicck on Sunday morning, it was warm, but the extremities were cold. This state of things could hardly be consistent with (the murder having been committed between half-past 6 and 8 o'clock in the evening, for in such a case it must have been exposed upwards of 12 hours to the bleak winds blowing from the Dengy Hundred and the Rochford marshes. It would seem, therefore, that if Drory be the guilty person, the crime mint have been committed between his quitting the King's Head at 10 o'clock, and his breakfasting at the Brick house farm at 6 o'clock on Sunday morning. Imme diately after breakfast Drory proceeded with a basket of apples to Mr. Moore's at the Glebe Land farm, where, as has already been stated, he was apprehended by Superintendent Coulson. The circumstances which led to the apprehension of Drory have not hitherto been correctly stated. It appears , that Lust, the stepfather of the unfortunate deceased, had longentertairied suspicions that Drory's intentions towards his daughter were not of an ho nourable character, and these suspicions were strengthened and confirmed by the fact that in August last he had procured and administered a quantity of poison to the deceased, with the supposed view of causing abortion. Hence, upon this occasion, the absence of the girl during the whole of the night caused the father great uneasiness, and at daybreak he went in search of his missing child. Ills first im pul!e was to search the riveS ? and the ponds on the several farms adjacent, at the same time stating his belief to several persons whom he met that the girl had been muidered by Drory. About a quarter of a mile from the house in which he resided is a large charcoal burner's, of the foreman of which establishment he inquired, with tears in his eyes, whether he had seen his daughter. The fore man unhesitatingly replied that he had not, but added that a lady (describing her dress) had been walking about that spot on the preceding evening, waiting, as he presumed, for some one expected by the train. As soon as the man described the dress Lust exclaimed, " That was my daughter ; where did you spe her ?' The foreman at once pointed out the spot, and the old man proceeded towards it. In order to arrive at the place, it was necessary for Lust to cross a hedge, in order to get from one field into another. By some strange fatality at the very spot he selected lay the body of his murdered daughter, over wiTich he stumbled. After the first burst of feeling had subsided, Lust proceeded to obtain the assistance of the neighbours for the removal of the body to his house, whilst be re paired to the station-house at Brentwood, and in formed the police-officer that his daughter had been murdered, adding that Drory was the murderer. Superintendent Coulson at once proceeded to Mr. Moore's, and apprehended the prisoner now in custody. In addition to the fact that a quantity of cord was found corresponding with that round the neck of the unfortunate young woman, a witness will be called on the occasion of the adjourned inquiry, who will speak to its having been purchased at his shop some time since. With respect to the mode in which the murder was committed, there seems to be little doubt that Drory, in the first place, threw the unfortunate woman on the ground, and then knelt on her chest whilst he placed the rope round her neck. This rope he must have pulled tightly with both hands. While his hands were thus employed the woman must have raised hers to release herself from the rope, and, as the murderer could not let go either end of the rope, he bit the woman's hands to induce her to withdraw • them. Hence the marks which have already been described. That the murder has been for some time past in contemplation appears evident from a statement which is made by one of the farm labourers of the district, who states that about a week since he saw Drory sit ting on a stile in the seven-acre field, and that h took from his pocket a piece of cord, the strength of which ha appeared.to be trying. Upon the person in question coming up, he hurriedly returned it to his pocket. There is no doubt that Drory was in company with Jael Denny last Saturday evening, and the fact will be proved by a witness named Harries, on the next examination. He says be saw them together a little before six o'clock, when they went together up to the footpath in the middle of the Home Mead. They were together about twenty minutes, and after they separated he saw Denny go towards the wood. Drory came back to the farmyard in which the witness was working. After he left work, about six o'clock, he met the deceased, and said, " Well, Jael, have you been for a walk ?" She said, " Yes, I have been to have a word or two with Mr. Drory, and now lem going home, and to meet him again at half-past six, at the stile at the bottom of the meadow."—(The meadow is next to the house where she lived, and about a quarter of a mile from the place where she was found dead.) The murdered woman is described as being a person of commanding stature and ladylike demeanour. She was 5 feet 9 inches high, and was generally con sidered the belle of the village. Sheiwas in her 21st year. Drory had just completed It% 23d year. He is described as being well-looking, about i feet 6 inches in height. He wore when he was apprehended a fustian jacket, corduroy breeches, and leather gaiters. He does not appear to have been addicted to intemperate habits, nor, until the period of the murder, to have been at all viciously disposed. There are many rumours afloat which, in such a case, it is impossible to trace with any degree of cer tainty. Amongst those which have been currently circulated are :—That the prisoner has very frequently stated that he felt certain Denny would never get safely over her confinement, and that she would mall away with herself, as she could not tell who was the father of her child ; and that the prisoner had placed behind his door a spade and pickaxe, for evidently with the intention of digging his victim. One fact in connexion with this j3 matter rent. is, that Drory was courting a Frave a Miss Giblino of Brent wood, and had given directions for the publication the banns on Sunday next. and appeared to This'afternoon a report was curren prisoner had made a confes sion. .
