" The story of Margaret' must touch the hearts and consciences of men, if their religion be anything more than a pretence. How power'ully the story is told, how boldly and skilfully the characters are drawn, how true its moral, and how severe its satire, no adequate conception can be formed, except by reading it. A more searching exposure and vigorous denunciation of the social vices of the age we have never read, nor a narrative of mere varied end exciting adven ture."— Morning Post. " This is the first novel published by Mr. Bentley on his new sys tem ; and as it inaugurates a change of the utmost importance to the rublic, we gladly avail ourselves o: the opportunity to express our high sense of the motives which have induced Mr. Bentley to attempt so bold an enterprise. We thank him for the increased stores of in tellectual entertainment with which, through his liberality and public spirit, our English homes will now be enlivened and improved."— Morning Post. "Mr. Bentley has made one of the most important and significant announcements which have appeared in the bterary world for many years past. Good and wholesome literature will now be placed really and truly immediately within the reach of the great body of readers, without waiting for .ye,ars until standard works are repro duced at a, lower price, whelt the interest and novelty have in a great meniture passed away.

The following is, the first portion of Captain McClure's despatches. We shall complete the pub lication in two successive impre4ons : Her Majesty's Discovery Ship Investigator, off Point Warren, Pol ar S ea , A ug. 24,850, in lat. 69•43 N., long. 131 . 57. W. Sin,—l have the honour to report to you, for the in formation of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that we arrived off the Mackenzie on the 21st inst. The letters that I forwarded by her Majesty's ship Herald, from whom I parted company on the 30th ult., off Cape Lisburne, will have put you in possession of my pro ceedings up to that date. After parting with the Herald I stood to the N.N.W. with a fresh breeze from the N.E., with the intention of making the ice, which was accomplished on the morning of the 2d of August, in lat. 72.1 N., long. 166.12 W., and at 11 a.m. stood into the loose ice for the purpose of ex amining the pack ; the wind, however, failing before we got far in, I was induced to run out to avoid being beset, having ascertained that the pack was very close and heavy, extending from N.N.E. to W.N.W., and, seeing no hope .of getting through, worked along its edge in soundings from 24 to 26 fathoms (mud), the hundreds of walruses that were lying upon the ice, thickly huddled together like sheep in a fold, were most astonishing. We continued working along the ice, occasionallygetting drifted in, until the sth, when the weather, which had been previously thick and misty, cleared a little, and, no ice being in sight, I shaped a course for Wainvrright's Inlet, with the intention of getting between the pack and shore ; in running exchanged numbers with her Majesty's ship Plover, and at 11.$ a.m. observed a low bench, [apparently shingle, distant about two miles. The weather again having become thick, we we went entirely by our soundings, which varied from 14 to 73 fathoms, in which latter we rounded Point Barrow at 11.30 p.m., without, however, observing the land, and steered to the eastward, direct for Bank's Land, finding that the ice was sufficiently loose and practicable for sailing through. These hopes were soon, however, dissipated ; for on the forenoon of the 6th it suddenly cleared, when I found that we had been running directly into the pack, which was very heavy and impenetrable, extending from S.E. to S.W. (by the north), in lat. 71 35 N., and long. 155 12 W., and the sea through which we had come looking nearly as white as the ice ahead, except that lanes of water were observable. We instantly hauled to the wind, and commenced working out. During the night the breeze freshed considerably, bringing showers of rain with thick weather, while being compelled to carry a press of canvas through very heavy and close sailing ice rendered the navigation extremely critical. The vessel occasionally struck with some violence. This continued till the afternoon of the 7th, when clear water was reported from the crow's-nest. The wind almost immediately fail ing, the boats were all manned, and towing commenced amid songs and cheers, which continued with unabated good humour for six hours, when their laborious work was brought to a successful termination ; being in per fectly clear water in Smith's Bay, a light air springing up, we worked to the eastward. At 2 a.m. of the Bth, being off Point Drew, sent Mr. Court (second master) on shore to erect a cairn, and bury a notice of our having passed. Upon landing they were met by three natives, who at first were very timid, but, upon ex changing signs of friendship, which consisted of raising the arms three times over the head, they approached the boat, and after the pleasant salutation of rubbing noses, became very communicative ; when, by the as sistance of our valuable interpreter, Mr. Miertsching— the selection of this gentleman for this important office does infinite credit to the discernment of those who sent him—we found the tribe consisted - of ten tents (this being the only approach to their numbers he could obtain), that they had only arrived three days pre viously, and that they hold communication with a party inland, who trade with the Russian Fur Company. The evening before they had observed us, but could not ima gine what large trees they were moving about (our masts), and all the tribe had assembled on the beach to look at them, when they agreed that it was something very extraordinary, and left the throe-men who met the boat to watch. They also gave the pleasing intelligence that we should find open water along the coast from about three to five miles' distance during the summer ; that the heavy ice very seldom came in or never left the land further than at present ; that they did not know if there were any islands further north, as they found it impos sible to go in their kyacks, when in pursuit of seals, further than one day's journey to the main ice, and then the lanes of water allowed of their proceeding three quarters of a day further, which brought them to very large and high ice, with not space enough in any part of it to allow their kyacks to enter ; the probable dis tance Mr. Miertsching therefore estimates, from his knowledge of the Esquimaux habits, to be about 40 miles off shore, and from what I have seen of the pack, I am inclined to think this is perfectly correct, for a more un broken mass I never witnessed ; they also mentioned seeing the boats with white men going eastward last year (which I suppose was Lieutenant Pullen), but had not seen any other white persons or anything like this vessel before ; they had, therefore, no name of sufficient FREE TRADE FREEHOLD LA ND SOCIETY, 86, St. James's-street, Pall-mall ; City Agency, 42, Poultry.

Several of them came off to the vessel, but had little to barter, as all their hunters were away, but immediately we had been observed they were sent for, and would soon arrive: Then said they, "You will be gone, and how disappointed they will be." They appear a simple, kind people, very poor, very filthy, and, to us, looked exceedingly wretched. The time of our return was repeatedly inquired for by them. They would have a quantity of skins ; they were anxious for us to wait a little, that they might send off a supply of reindeer ; but, the boat return ing, and the wind fair, I made them a few presents, and gave them a letter to be forwarded to the Rus sian Fur Company, and made sail to the eastward ; the wind being light as we ran close along-shore, in from four to six fathoms, we had a great many visitors ; many of them had been their whole lives between the Coppermine and Point Barrow. These could give no information of the missing expedition. lam certain that had any of them reached these shores we must have heard of it. The coast is inhabited throughout, and the natives are, to all appearance, a kind and merry race, and when we gave them presents, through the medium of the interpreter, we told them , that we were looking for our lost brothers, and if they saw any white men in distress they were to be very kind, to which they as sented, by saying they would, and give them plenty of "deer's flesh." While running along the land, which is exceedingly low, observed upon Point Pitt two conical mounds ; thinking they might have some communica tion buried beneath, ran in to examine them. While in stays the vessel took the ground, but was hove off almost immediately without any damage, the bot tom being soft clay. The boat sent to examine the mounds reported them old Esquimaux cachds, where they deposit their venison. They, left a bottle con taining a notice of our passing. Upon rounding Cape Halkett on the morning of the 9th found the ice was set close to the shore, which rendered it a passage of much anxiety, great labour, and imminent risk, as the wind wan strong, from E.S.E., with thick fog, and the ice closing around us fast, so that we had barely space to work in,itacking frequently in five, and never beyond ten minutes, standing upon one tack into three-and-a- half fathoms, and upon the other to four-and-a-half and six fathoms ; this operation was continued the greater part of the middle and all the morning watch. At 9 a.m. the weather cleared a little, and open water was observed in Smith's Bay; our soundings gradually increased ; the reaches became longer as we rounded the Cape, and all apprehenaion of being forced on shore was over. Aug. 10.—In crossing Harrison's Bay found the influence of the Colville to extend• twelve or fourteen miles, the surface of the water being of a dirty mud colour, and scarcely salt. The weather, thick and foggy, prevented any land being seen. The soundings were very regular on one tack ; the ice allowed of our standing off to eight fathoms, and on the other, the land to three-and-a-half fathoms, black mud. Aug. 11. —ln the morning the weather cleared a little, and dis covered to us Jones's Island. An erect piece of wood on the shore attracted the attention of the officer of the watch ; a boat was sent to examine it, when it appeared to be a piece of drift wood, which had been squeezed up by the ice. The shore was strewed with it, and one spar was as large as our mainmast, and 45 feet in length. We erected a cairn and left a notice. In the forenoon about 30 natives came off in two baidars, for whom we obtained some fish and ducks, in exchange for a little tobacco. They had been about two months on the coast, and trade with the Russian Fur Company. Their surprise, of course, was very great, particularly at the size of our handkerchiefs (the sails) ; the whaleboats 1 , attracted their attention, and they asked if trees grew in r PRICE SD. ing much open water upon the eastern shore from the Mac kenzie towards Cape Bathurst, had no difficulty in work ing along it; in soundings from four to eight fathoms which latter was the extent that the ice permitted us off shore.

This, however; gives ample space for navigation, the soundings being so exceedingly regular that, during the most foggy weather, we can stand in shore with the most perfect confidence to 31 fathoms.

I hastily close this communication in the I imagine these people communicate with the Mackenzie. I have written to • the company's officer at the abovernentioned post, to request his exer tions in sending it forward,. our country sufficiently large to make them. The head man possessed a gun with " Barnett, 1840 " upon the lock ; this he obtained from the Russians. As a fair spe cimen ofthe observation of these people and their aptitude for trade, the following may be taken :—Seeing that we cut the tobacco into pieces to give in exchange for their fish (salmon trout), they began to do so the same with the fish This, however, we would not admit, so they were obliged to come to our terms. During the afternoon, while standing along a low flat island, we observed a flag (a pair of seal-skin inexpressibles) upon a lofty pole, and a number of natives around it ; we stood for them, but when the boats were pulling in they appeared to re gret their temerity ; for down came the seal-skin and away they ran ; shortly gaining courage, they returned, and, as, we approached, ranged themselves in line upon the beach, and commenced extending their arms above their heads (typical of friendship), which being an swered from the boats, perfectly assured them of our amicable intentions. Upon landing they evinced a most manly confidence, rubbing noses, and embracing most vigorously ; these were very cleanly, so that the operation was not so unpleasant as it otherwise might have been. Through the interpreter, Mr. Miertsching, we learnt that these people had never before seen a Eu ropean, nor had they the smallest article of European manufacture about them (Lieut. Pullen's boats they observed last year, but they were some distance, on, and consequently had no communication). They live during the summer months upon these desolate islands, and in the winter retire a short distance on the mainland to their warmer residences. Their women and tents were upon another island. They were a fine active set of young men, average height about five feet six inches. These barter their skins, &c., with a tribe further west, who, in their turn, do the same with others, until they reach the Russian post upon the Colville. To them I entrusted a dispatch for their Lordship; which they promised most faithfully should be forwarded to the Colville. I made them a few presents, also a boat's en sign, in commemoration of the first man-of-war whose flag has ever floated in these sterile regions. The magnifi cence of the gift they could not for some time comprehend, and were loath to touch it, but at length the interpreter made' them understand it was sent them by a great ' Her Maj es ty s Discovery Ship Investigator, off chief, and in return th e y were t o b e very ki n d to a ll Cape Bathurst, Polar Sea ; lat. 70.23 N., white men they met, and show it to them ; all this they long. 127.57 W., Aug. 30, 1850. promised ; the chief then seized it in his arms and ran Set;,—Having closed my dispatch of the 24th with an across the island to his canoe, follo we d by the remainder intimation that it would be left near Point Warren with of his tribe, and no doubt hurried with the joyful tidings the natives observed from the ship, in accordance with to the women. We find a weste r ly se t which prevents. that intention I proceeded to the shore. Why it was our making but slight progress, the wind hanging so not so left I shall, in continuation of my narrative, re much to the eastward, late. From the contiguity of this tribe to the Mackenzie, On the morning of the 12th four baiders came along- I was naturally led to imagine that their trade was with side, , containing the whole encampment of the tribe we the Hudson's Bay Company.

Taking no heed of these hostile knavish propensities, and, consequently, a sharp look-out demonstrations, we pulled in ; they retreated, yelling was kept upon them, they most adroitly managed to slip furiously ; upon our reaching the full of the beach, we both handles of our winch and a small ice-anchor into made the same signs of friendship which we had used theii balder, when the fair sex became the recipients, with the Esquimaux further west, but without any It was by the greatest accident that the theft was effect until joined by the interpreter, who was in full discovered by the end of one handle protruding from native costume; this gave them confidence, and, upon beneath the ample proportions of the lady—who, when his explaining our friendly intentions, they approached, taxed, immediately returned the articles, and informed but when within about 30 yards, remarking seine mus upon her husband.

TRAVELLERS BETWEEN PARIS AND LONDON.—Many complaints have been made by travellers of being de tained at Dover on their return to London by the mail leaving Paris at 7 30 p.m., in consequence of not being able to get their luggage landed and examined in time for the train corresponding with the mail packet. This cause of complaint no longer exists. Passengers can now have their luggage registered in Paris and brought direct to the London-bridge terminus without examination ; and since the 3d inst. no fewer than 334 packages have been so brought'through, relieving 265 passengers from all anxiety as to catching the train, and saving them the trouble of look ing after their luggage both at Cal a i s and Dover. The great improvement has been brought a b out at the earnest desire of the travelling public, repres en t e d b y the chairman of the ut h Railway, o f Commons, application to Go vernmentfor permission to hove the luggage examined by th e Customs at the in mE the t er House n Lon don-bridge terminus instead o f at Dover was very So promptly acceded to by Mr. James Wilson, the Secretary of the Treasbry, in the early part of last session ; but the difficulties thrown in the way by interested parties at Dover prevented the new facility being accorded to tra velling until the 3d of the present month. The Customs' officers now attend on the arrival of the mail train at the examination room, which has been eredted for the pur pose by the South Eastern Railway Company, at the London-bridge Terminus ; and so much is the new plan appreciated, that packages of luggag e are already sent forward in this way to wait the arrival of their owners on a future day. THE SHIP-BUILDERS OF LIVERPOOL AND THEIR SHIP WRIGHTS.—An important meeting of the ship-builders of Liverpool was held on Wednesday, w h en it was unanimously determined that strangers should be em ployed in the building - yards, and that the rate of wages should be is, a day, and io. an hour overtime, Aug. 29.—Very dense fog, with light wind from N.E., which cleared at noon sufficiently to obtain a meridian altitude, and found that we had been set since yesterday south 12 miles, Cape Dalhousie distant S.W. (true) 3 miles ; the fog enveloped us again while standing off shore, when we ran into a narrow channel, having but 3l fathoms on either side, which compelled us to bear up est. This carried us into deep water in about 15 minutes. In the course of the afternoon we fell in with the heavy drift ice, composed of large floe pieces, occasionally be coming entangled in consequence of the thick fog, although there was much open water among it. Aug. 30.—Wind from the northward, with clear wea ther. Observing a mark on the beach upon the island off Maitland Point, in Liverpool -bay, sent Mr. Sains bury (mate) to examine it, and to leave a notice of oar passing. Upon his return he reported that an Esqui maux encampment had recently broken up, the traces of their tents and footmarks being quite distinct. We observed from the ship several reindeer, which were not seen by the party on shore. In standing along the coast, observing natives, I ran in to forward this dispatch, trusting it might reach the Hudson's Bay Company this year, which is probable, if they are not as great a set of savages as we met near Point Warren. I hope to round Cape Bathurst to-morrow. This will therefore be the last communication which it will, in all probability, be in my power to make to their Lordships. The tempe rature has hitherto been exceedingly mild, thermometer seldom being below 32, and from the present favourable appearance, both of the weather and state of the ice, I have very strong hopes of getting well to the northward ere the navigation ceases, which will be about the latter end of next month, according to Esquirnaux report. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble servant, [ROBERT M'CLURE, Commander. NAVAL I.NTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, OCT. 20.

On entering Barnpool they were met by a boat belonging to La Hogue, which ran into the cutter and capsized her. The crew held on by the boat, and were speedily relieved from their dangerous position. Beyond the injury to the mizenmast and bumpkin and the loss of grapnel, no harm was done to either crew or boat. Mr. W. Elson has been promoted from second to first class boatswain, and Mr. Penfold from third to second class. Mr. Mason, second-class carpenter, has been ap pointed to the steam-frigate Terrible, 21, Capt. Janies J. M'Cleverty.

She was under single-reefed topsails, reefed courses, three topgallantsails, and reefed mainsail. Wind W.N.W., fair breeze. The other, two leagues astern, was a small black paddle steamer, neatly rigged, half of paddle-box painted blue, bird figurehead ; she was under steam only, and exhibited a light aft for about five minutes.

THE DUBLIN GREAT EXHIBITION.—As nearly as it is possible to estimate the account of receipts, disburse ments, and liabilities, Mr. Dargan will be about cleared by his noble undertaking. The apprehended loss which all seemed to think lie would sustain is therefore reduced to nothing. The receipts, up to Monday last amounted in round figures to 49,0004 ; and this suns would cover the whole expenditure, minus, of course, the property still available. I The money to be received still for ad missions and for some matters to be disposed of will, it is said, be sufficient to pay the expense of sending back the pictures, ex., to their owners.
