[FURTHER. PARTICULARS.I Captain FRANKLIN and his,assistants explored the Arctic Sea as far as the 117 degree west longitude, and in doing so corrected a material error committed by Hearne. One great advantage accruing from the journey will be an ex tension of the fur trade : for it is a law well enough understood among nations, that the power which first visits an unknown region thereby establishes a sufficient claim to its natural pro ductions ; and but for the expedition, the Russians, from their settlement at Behring's Straits, might easily have penetrated to the east, and thus lessened our chances of carrying on a traffic, which has already been considerably circumscribed by the pro 7 gress of civilization. - When at the farthest point of their pro gress, the expedition, with suitable means of conveyance, might easily have got round to Hudson's Bay; but situated as they were, and possessing only a few slight canoes, it would hare been perfect madness to have dared the perils of an open and ever-agitated sea.. At this time they were totally ignorant of the movements of Captain Parry : but supposing that the navigator, had appeared on the coast, j'ust as Captain Franklin was about to abandon it, what, we ask, would have been the feelings of our adventurous countrymen. As it was, the travellers .had .to abandon their canoes, and with theM the whole of their baggage, excepting books, wipers, and a few other necessaries, which they. contrived to carry on their backs. , The story of their sufferings from cold, bun . ger, and fatigue, has. already been very widely circulated ; but .it is not, we believe.;. known, that just as these sufferings were at their height, they caught a solitary elk—a• circumstance which, in the first moments of their transport, they regard ed much the same light as the manna rained from Heaven. --Judge, then, of their despair, when, just as • the knife or the hatchet was raised to slaughter the devoted elk, the ani- mal by a strong effort escaped from their toils, and hurried away to wilds as yet unvisited by a huthan enemy. Never, perhaps, was there a greater disappointment ; from something like hope they were again plunged in the lowest depths of dispair, and such altogether was the effect of this incident, that the bare re collection of it, even at the distance of nearly twelve months, never fails to more-Dr. Richardson to tears. After the lamented and cruel murder of Lieutenant Hood, our townsman and the English sailor were twenty days' march behind Capt. Franklin, who had pushed on with the stronger of the party, in the confident hope of being able to send his com panions supplies. But before these supplies could reach them, they most providentially fell- in with a party of Indian hun ters ; and from these " stoics of the wood, and men with out a tear," they experienced a series of humane atten tions, which might well put to the blush the boasted civi lization of European nations. At one glance the sagacious Indians penetrated into all the mis ries of our countrymen's situation, treating them as patients in every sense of the word, and administering food not as they would have had it, but as best suited their impaired and exhausted frames. At their de parture they made them various little presents, particularly of shoes finely ornamented with porcupine quills ; and altogether the kindness which Dr. Richardson and his companion expe rienced at the hands of these Indians, fully realied all that Campbell has so finely fabled of the " Oneyda people." To this relation we have only to add, that there is no truth whatever in the report that the Canadians were so enraged at the loss of the eight hunters employed in the expedition, that they were upon the very point of offering violence to the persons of the British officers. Indeed, how could this be ? The sur viving Canadians, of course, informed their friends that every thing had been quite fair, and fostered their natural love of the marvellous, by an account of monsters 'seen by land and sea (many of them approximating far nearer than the mermaid to the hu man form), with a thousand other grossly exaggerated rela tions of personal peril, suffering, and achievement.—( Dumfries Courier. CITY BUSlNESS.—Yesterday the LORD MAYOR accompanied by the Lord Mayor Elect, several Aldermen, the Sheriffs, and Livery of the Com panies of Stationers and Merchant Taylors, set off from -the Mansion-house a little after one o'clock for Guildhall, to attend the swearing in of the Lord Mayor Elect.—Upon their arrival at the Hall, a Court of Aldermen was formed for the .general dispatch of public business. — Sundry persons were sworn, and others allowed to be admitted brokers.—The Chamberlain re ported the surplus of the Orphans' Fund, when the Court was pleased to order 20,7001. of the outstanding debt to be paid off and discharged, and directed the Chamberlain to give the notice to the several parties interested, agreeably to the directions of the Act of Parliament.—Commis sinners of the Court of Requests for the month of December next were appointed.—Several outstanding bills and accounts were ordered for payment.—They then proceeded to the great hall, and having taken their seats upon the hustings, the Lord mayor Elect was called in due form, according to the custom, to come forth and take upon him the office ; and his Lordship having advanced to the table took the usual oath, which was administered by the Deputy Town Clerk.—The accustomed form of pre senting the city mace, the purse, and the seals, and of delivering the sword, were then gone through, when his Lordship received the con gratulations of his brethren, the city officers, &c., and shortly after adjourned to the Mansion-house I to dinner. We regret much to state, that the moment the Lord Mayor (Alderman Magnay) returned yesterday from the Guildhall, the first intelligence he received was that of the death of one of his children, an interesting boy between six and seven years of age. This calamity was very severely felt , by his Lordship,who requested Sir Claudius Hun ter to represent him at the dinner given at the Mansion-house to the two companies over which Alderman Magnay and Alderman Heygate pre ' side. His Lordship has now 16 children, six of whom are by his present wife. SHOPLIFTING. -- About 7 o'clock, on Thursday evening, as Thomas Thompson, one of the Clerkenwell Con stables, was taking his rounds in St. John-street, he observed a man lurking about the shop of Mr. W. J. Love, linen-draper. He watched him for some time, and at length saw him take a piece of printed calico, which was inside the shop door, put it under his arm, and walk away with it. Thompson followed the villain, who, on observing him, ran along a narrow la n e , and over a poor feeble old woman, whom he dashed aginst the' stones with such violence, that she was taken up for dead. Th o mpson pursued him, ana he was finally secured, and the piece of print, consisting of 25 yards, which he was seen to throw away, was picked up. The ruffian, though disguised as a tradesman, having on a black linen apron, was soon recog nised to be Henry Case, a very old offender, who had been tried four times, and twice convicted, and received six months imprisonment each time. He was taken the same evening before the Sitting Magistrate at Hatton-garden, and committed to Newgate for trial. THE THEATRES. DituttY-LANE.----We are . glad to perceive that 1 the system, formerly in practice, of assigning the same principai characters to different Performers, alternately, seems to be revived at this Theatre: Dow - coN last night appeared in Old Dornion, which, on the previous representation of The Road to Ruin, was performed by MuNDEN.— This practice tends to excite emulation, and to sti mulate public curiosity. It is -well known that this was the case with GARRICK and -BARRY, and other great Actors of their day. We hope that the same plan will be adopted respect ing YOUNG and KEEN, and that the public will see their Richards, &c. alternately. Hence each will avoid the faults and improve by the beauties of the other. The public, too, will improve in critical judgment, by the opportunity of comparing the merits of the respective performers. The play, and the new afterpiece of The Galley Slaves, were warmly applauded by a very numerous audience. COVENT•Z ARD EN.— Miss LAcy made her second appearance last night as Isabella, in The Fatal ,11 arriage, and fully confirmed our opinion of her high merits. We consider her as possess ing a real genius for the Stage, and one of no ordi nary rate. It is very seldom indeed that so much judgment is combined with so much feeling at her early time of life. Her voice, in all but the lowest tones, is musical and affecting. Alto gether she promises to become a first rate tragic actress. ller face, if not handsome, is pleasing and capable of varied expression. Her chief error last night was a redundance of those convulsive throbbings which have been introduced on the stage within " our young remembrance." It is manifest that public sympathy extends only to a particular degree , and the excess to which we allude, instead of exciting a correspondent feel ing in the audience,sets judgment at work to enquire if it be not elaborate and outrageous. This is really the only error which, in our opinion, marked the performance of Miss LACY last night ; but we must acknowledge that such did not appear to be the opinion of the audience, as, throughout the character, she excited strong sympathy and very warm applause. The part of Biron is short, but interesting, and it received due and affecting sup port from Mr. C. KEAtur.v.. The Irish Tutor and The Galley Slaves followed, the first exciting general merriment, and the second making an affecting impression. THE MARQUIS CAMDEN. At a Meeting held at Brecon, on the 23d ult. which was most respectably and numerously at tended, an Address was unanimously voted to the Marquis CAMDEN, then on a visit to the Borough, expressing the grateful admiration of the Meet ing at the patriotic conduct of the Noble Mar quis in relinquishing to the exigencies of the State, the fees and perquisites of his office, as one of the Tellers of the Exchequer, beyond the sum enacted by Parliament to be paid him. The following was the Noble Marquis's reply to the Address:— " 1 thank' you most sincerely for this address. At five years have elapsed since I adopted the conduct you approve, I trust I may interpret your sentiments into a deliberate approbation of my conduct, and not to a temporary expression of popular feeling. In this light, your address is particularly gratiiying, and the more so as it records the distinguished services of my father, as deservedly claiming those rewards which have been enjoyed by his family. " The grants of ancient and honourable offices have long been the mode of rewarding the services of public men, either in their own, or in the persons of their descendants. Such a mode records the services of him who acquires the grant, and enables his descendant to maintain the station he in herits. I therefore lament that such offices are hereafter to be abolished, and that, by such regulation, public economy will be little benefitted, and public men less honourably re warded. . . " In retaining the office of one of the tellers of his Majesty's Exchequer, and that portion of its emoluments which has been regulated by Parliament, I feel that I have adopted the prin ciple I haie expressed, and if in voluntarily devoting the ex cess to the exigencies of the State I have acquired the good opinion of my country, I am highly rewarded. " The flattering testimony which my conduct has drawn forth from the inhabitants of theancient and respectable Borough of Brecknock, convened and presided over by its Chief Magistrate and conveyed in the Address I have received, is more peculiarly satisfactory to me, as it is presented to me at this place, and during the period lam residing amongst them."—( Kentish Gazette. ) AWFUL INSTANCE OF SUDDEN DEATIL—Las t night at eight o'clock an inquisition was taken at the sign of the Swan, Ilungerford-market, before Mr. limos, Deputy Coroner for Westminster, on the body of Mrs. Ann Herbert, 50 years of age. The deceased was the wife of a comb-maker, in Little Ilungerford-street. She had been chiefly em ployed in nursing ladies in their lying-in, and had borne a most excellent character. On last Thursday afternoon she told her husband she would go to Cranbourn-alley, to pur chase a dress, and went out for that pur pose. In Castle-court, Strand, she fell down upon the pavement, and was instantly surrounded by a mob, the majority of whom considered her in a fit, and used the means generally adopted to recover her ; but finding she was getting weaker, she was carrried to the shop of Mr. 'Watson, sur geon, in Chandos-street. That gentleman used every means in his power to restore her, lint his efforts proved abortive. She was, however, so well known, that she was soon recognized, and was conveyed home a corpse to her agonizing hus band, whose feelings may be better conceived than described. Since that her body was opened, and her death could not be attributed to any par cular cause, except that her features indicated all the simptoms of apoplexy•--The Jury re turned a verdict—" Died in a fit of apoplexy." MUNDEN was attacked suddenly, a few days ago, with a violent bilious fever , w h ich has since brought on so severe a fit of the gout, as to pre vent his leaving his bed-room. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

SEPT. A. D. MCCCCLXX XV. The above was written in 1813, by the Rev. and very learned Dr. Parr, and put on the site of this memorable spot, October 15, 1822. The change that has taken place in respect 1 the company frequenting taverns is supposed to be owing to the increased expence; but extravagant charges of tavern-keepers in Queen Anne's time were not less deserving of complaint then than they are now. The Duke of Ormond who gave a dinner to a few friends at the Star and Garter, in Pall-mall, was charged twenty-one pounds six shillings and eight pence for four dishes and four, that is, first and second courses, without wine or dessert.—( Percy Anecdotes.) Early on the morning of Thursday last,Mr.W. Davis and his wife, of Ruckwall-common, in the parish of Eaton Bishop, Herefordshire, were awoke by the cries of a child ; when Mr. Davis getting up to ascertain from whence they proceeded, was surprised to find at his house-door a fine boy about 12 months old, without clothes, but carefully wrapped up in a piece of new flannel, outside of which was a piece of Bath coatink, likewise new • it was taken in, and, on examina tion, a note was found, written on a heet of 12tter-paper, with a blacklead venCil, in Roman characters (eviaently . for the purpose of disguising the hand-writing), folded up-10 the form of a letter, the superscription requesting the child to-be-taken to a benevolent lady in the neighbouthood, to whom some doggerel lines were addressed in the note... The note and child were ac cordingly taken to the lady, but she very. properly declined hav ing any thing to do with the child,. and it was subsequently placed in the hands of the parish-oflicers.—( Gloucester Paper.) Information was given on Thursday at the Police-office, Hatton 7 garden, that John Harris, a private soldier in tke second regiment of foot, now stationed in Ireland, but who lived as ser vant-with Colonel De Burgh, in Grosvenor-place, had deserted, robbing his master of property to the amount of 6001. in Bank of England notes, besides jewellery to a largeamount,arnong which was a dia mond ring, transparent set, one stone of which weighed between four and five carats. The vil lain, of whom a description was given, is a native of Dorset, and lived as confidential servant with his Colonel for a considerable time, and was in the habit of receiving large sums vof money on his master's account, at Messrs.

NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, Nov. 7. Yesterday his Grace tile Duke of NORTHUM BERLAND, as Lord Lieutenant, reviewed the Northumberland and Newcastle-upon-Tyne Yeomanry Cavalry, commanded by Lieutenant-Colonel BRANDLING, M.P. The Town Moor was the ground fixed upon for the purpose. Between twelvJ and one his Grace appeared on horseback in front of the line, and was saluted in the usual manner. Colonel Brandling after wards put the regiment through a variety of evolutions, the whole of which were performed with a correctness and steadi ness which would have done honour to a regiment of. the line. Nor can we omit noticing the very soldier-like look of the men. On the whole, it certainly is not too much to say, that the Yeo manry Corps of Northumbria may challenge equality, either as to force or efficiency, with that of any county in the British Empire. During the last five weeks, a period in which the in fatuated keelmen of the Tyne have been setting all law and order at defiance, (and with too much impunity, God knows !) Colonel Brandling's regiment have performed a very arduous and disagreeable duty in a way that calls for the most unqua lified eulogy. The Magistrates for Northumberland, as well as those of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, have, in consequence, expressed, by handsome letters to the Commanding Officer, their deep sense of the important services rendered to the district, by the unremitting attention of the regiment, wherever their presence was required. His Grace of Northumberland, in thanking Colonel Brandling and his excellent corps, for all their 'abatis:li and assiduities, during the period they had been on duty, amongst other things, said, that he itad the high gratification of stating, that his Majesty himself had, on a recent occasion, expressed how much the North Country was indebted to the unwearied exertions of the brave Yeomanry under the COM. mand of Colonel Brandling, and that his (the King's) thanks were justly due to them for such noble and patriotic conduct. Ti e Lord Lieutenant's flattering notice of the regiment has given the greatest satisfaction to the whole body. It is to be lamented. • however, that the turbulent Keelmen will have to be dealt with by other military, who, from what has recently passed; cannel: be supposed likely to forbear in the same tender and humane way that characterised the proceedings of the Northumberland Yeomanry. How affairs with the Keelmen will terminate, God only knows ! They seem at this moment to be more violently disposed than ever. They have, within these last two or three days, committed several acts of aggression, that very likely will send some of them across the water. Laden keels have been wickedly and wilfully sunk in the river ; and some of their own body, who manifested a willingness to return to work, have been most cruelly beaten. Although, in consequence of the protracted service of the Northumberland Yeomanry, they have been relieved from military duty, it is expected that the garrison will immediately receive an accession of strength, either by an additional troop of horse, or a portion of regular infantry. £vet or three ships of war are at Shields, on board of which are a number of marines : These are a highly useful foice, rebus tu istentibus.

SEIZURE OV SMUGGLED WIIISKY.—OR Wed nesday, the 30th ult., when Mr. Thomas Wilson, officer of Excise in Beith, was at Kilbirnie discharging the ordinary round of his duties in that part of his district, about fcui o'clock in the afternoon, a horse and cart passed thrangh the village, conducted by a man who appeared to be a plain hone;t- . looking farmer ; and from the well-contrived manner in which the cart was loaded, it would never have excited any other idea, either in the mind of the officer .or of any other person, but that it was a draught of cheese, or other farm produce. on the way to the market. The attendants, however,, who immediately followed this simple conveyance, did not alt.- gether correspond with its unattracting and unsuspicious up ; pearance ; nor is such a guard as four stout Highlandmen generally made use of in that part of the country for the protee-- don of such a cargo as its external aspect indicated that it was. Upon seeing the cart so closely followed up by this audacious and formidable corps d; garde, it instantly convinced the officer that its contents was in reality what it turned out to be : he therefore immediately went after, and made a seizure of the whisky, and of the horse and cart along with it, at the toll-bar a short distance out of Kilbirnie, on the road tsy wards Lochwinnoch, he being then unassisted. The proprietors of the booty perceiving this, 4 of the number, without hesita tion, and in defiance of repeated remonstrances on the danger to which they were exposing themselves, in thus by forcible mea sures defeating the intentions of the Legislature, forthwith most violently attacked the officer, knocked him down into the adjacent ditch, and were proceeding to abuse him in c. barbarous manner, while the fifth made off with the horse and cart, &c. Two men very soon came up to the assist ance of the officer, and succeeded in getting him rescued from this assault ; and on his attempting, with them, to follow after the cart, they were strenuously opposed by the four Highlandrnen, and a severe skirmish was kept up betwixt them until they reached the lands of Bar, near Lochwinnoch (a distance of about four miles), where the officer suspected that the cart had been unloaded, and its illicit cargo deposited in the plant ing on the side of the road ; and upon searching they ac tually discovered nine casks, containing about eighty or ninety gallons of whisky. Hereupon a most vigorous contest en sued, and had it not been that great additional assistance was procured from Lochwinnoch, there is reason toithink that the seizure could not have been carried into effect; but it was at length accomplished, and the above-mentioned quantity car , ried to the excise office at Beith. The officer, and several of those.who assisted them, have received considerable personal injury in the affray, and it is thought the Highlantimen are much more severely bruised.—(Glasgote Herald.)
