For the laudable purpose of furthering the objects of the law by avoiding all necessity for its infringement, the inge nious and effective ltarnoneur machine has been invented. This invention consists of four brushes forming a square head, whiek by means of elastic springs co nt rac t s or expands, according to the small or extended space in which the machine moves, thereby creating an even pressure on all four sides of a chimney. The rods attached to this head or brush are supplied at intervals with universal spring joints, capable of turning even a right angl , and the whole is surmounted with a double revolving ball, having also a universal spring joint, which leads the brush with certainty past every angle, and into every corner, cleansing its route most perfectly. The capabilities of this machine are best demonstrated by the fact, that it is exclusively used in the Government and numerous public offices, while the patronage bestowed by a large number of the nobility and gentry in continuing their animal con tracts to the patentees evidences their sense of its superiority, as well as of the philanthropic views of the projectors.

TAT TE RSALL'S.—YESTERDAY. • The settling on the Doncaster events took place yes terday afternoon, and passed off quietly ; the large account to which we alluded last week, remains unsettled, and as no communication has been received by the creditors, it is looked upon as a desperate case. Another party is also inquired after, and with several persons who were present money seemed very scarce; so that, on the whole, we may repeat the remark made at Don caster, that the settling has been the reverse of satisfac tory. In the course of the afternoon several animals were backed for the Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire, and for the former, Wood Pigeon, Cawroush, and Ulysses, were at one time in great request; their friends, however, became lukewarm towards the close, and the final quota tions showed a marked decline on the odds taken early in the day. Closing prices:— CESAREWITCH STAKES. 7 to 1 agst Mr. Bouverie's War Eagle 15 to 1 agst Lord Exeter's Wood Pigeon 18 to 1 agst Mr. Disney's Cawroush—taken 20 to 1 agst Mr. B.

THE PROTESTANT CHARITABLE ASSOCIATION.-- On Sunday the 179th anniversary of this charity was celebrated at the Protestant Dissenting Church, Curtain road, Shoreditch. The association was originally rounded in the reign of Charles 11. for the relief of the Puritans and Primitive Methodists, who at that period were subject to persecutions. It was stated, that in one year alone, 1668. 500 preachers were imprisoned, and 2,000,0001. of property confiscated. The funds of the charity are now used for the relief of the poor and infirm. A CHILD SAVED FROM DROWNING BY A DOG.— On Sunday morning, a child of about five years of aie, during the absence of a servant to whose care it was intrusted. fell into the canal from the parapet of the City-road-bridge. The accident had scarcely been dis covered before a large dog, of the Newfoundland breed, leaped into the stream, and with great exertion saved the life of the child, by keeping its head above water until assistance was rendered from the shore. DEPRECIATION OF RAILWAY PROPERTY. —We have taken fifty of the principal railway lines, and find that a most carefully-calculated comparison yields the subjoined facts: — Value of fifty lines of railroad, at the £ s. d. quoted prices of their stock, on the 2d of January, 1847 ... ... 59 557 000 Total calls on the above since January... 13 529 000 £73 086 000 Value of the same stock, including the above calls, computed at the share list prices of Saturday, Sept. 11, 1847 ... 57 884 000 Depreciation So that the aggregate railway stock in these fifty lines, which was worth in January last upwards of fitty-nine millions sterling, is now worth only fifty-seven millions, although thirteen millions and a half of money has been added by new calls during the present year to their paid-up capital. —/ti anchester Times. THE PLAYERS; OR THE STARE OF LlFE.—This new work, by Mr. Serle, must come like a perfect god send to the circulating libraries, and to the ennuied frequenters of watering-places, for it is full of life and spirit, and gives us, from the hand of one " as 'twere to the manner born," an admirable series of pictures of stage life. " This work (observes the Britannia) is the best written romance of modern life we have met with for a long time, and does more to enhance the reputation of Mr. Serle as a man of talent, than any of his previous productions. The plot and incidents of the tale are very dramatic, and the characters wel l sustained throughout. The work is altogether one of great merit."

THE COURT FROM •SCOTLAND. The Queen, the PilWe7(74Wales, the Princess -Royal, and suite, including the Duchess of Norfolk and - the Marchioness of „Douro, and Viscount Pal , merston, &c., left Ardverikie Lodge, Loch Laggan, at half-past two, and proceeded to Fort 'William, whore,- as on the royal ,debarkation, last month, triumphal arches thrown across the streets, and other demonstrations of loyalty, met the royal party in its progress to the landing-place, which was also conveniently fitted and tastefully decorated, in honour 'of her Majesty's embarkation, which took place in the royal bare, and when steered by Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, the Queen and suite proceeded, under a royal salute, to the Victoria and Albert steam yacht, where her Majesty joined his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who haJ 'arrived in the Fairy tender , a few minutes previously from Inverness, through the Caledonian Canal, the Prince, as we stated yes terday having dined and . sl e pt at Mr. Baillie's, of Dochfour, on Thursday. evening. His Royal Highness, on visiting Inverness, was met by a grand procession of the civic authorities and trades, by which the - Prince was Conducted to the Town-hall. About 280 clansmen of Mackintosh of Mackintosh, hended by the thi e f himself, attended by two captains and his he nc h men , and pipers arrayed in the Highland costu me , f orme d the picturesque portion of the cortege. Ab ou t 50,000 persons hailed with loud acclamations the a r ri v al o f his Royal High ness, and royal salutes were fir e d and' addresses pre sented, to all of which the PrinCe bowed his acknow ledgment and returned his best thanks. The Prince visited the Castle of Inveknees t .and-admired the de lightful, extensive, and varied seenerffrom the Castle hill previously to returning in Mr. Baillie's carriage to Dochfour House. On the Prince's return to Dochfour House a de putation from the heritors, commissioners of supply, and justices of the peace of the county, waited on his Royal Highness, by appointment, to present an address from the gentlemen of the county. The de putation was headed by the Earl of Seafield, the lord lieutenant of the county, Lord Lovat, and Mr. Duncan Grant, of Bught, the convener of the county. The presentation of the address, to which the Prince made a suitable reply, did not occupy many minutes. The leading members of the deputation had the honour of dining with his Royal Highness. The royal squadron remained at Fort William on Friday night, and at five A.M. on Saturday the Vic toria and Albert, the Fairy, Garland, and Scourge, proceeded to Crinan, where the royal party left the yacht, and, in the canal barge, attended by Mr. Burns, proceeded to Lochgilphead. Here the Black Eagle, Admiralty steam yacht, Master Commander Cook, and the Undine steam yacht, Master Commander Allen, were in waiting, and the former having re ceived her Majesty, the. Prince, Royal Family, and suite, both steam yachts proceeded at a rapid pace to the general rendezvous at Campbeltown, where it is expected the royal squadron remained during the Sunday. PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT TO INVERNESS. (From the Inverness Journal.) His Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Marquis of Abercorn and Mr. Anson, drove from Ardverikie, by Spean, to Gairlochy Locks, where they shipped on board the Fairy, at ten o'clock on Thursday morning. The forenoon was showery, with intervals of fair weather. The scenery on Loch Lochy, Loch Oich, and Loch Ness, was seen to a disadvantage. Between two and three o'clock the gallant little craft was seen steaming down Loch Ness, and about half past three she stopped her engine in the little loch opposite to the modern mansion of Dochfour. It is the property of Evan Baillie, Esq., and is beautifully situated on the margin of a loch at the east end of Loch Ness proper, from which it is separated by a very narrow strait or cut, which forms a part of the Caledonian Canal. The house is newly finished, and is one of the handsomest in Scotland of the Italian style. A jetty was run out into the loch till a depth of seventeen feet of water was obtained, so that when the Fairy arrived the debarkation effected in a few seconds. His Royal Highness as received by Mr. Baillie of Dochfour, Lord Grosvenor, and Mr. Popham. When the Fairy hove in sit, and at the landing, cannons were fired. Two of" Mr. Baillie's carriages were in waiting at the loch side, and on the Prince and his suite taking their seats, droved off to pay the intended visit to Inverness. The night of Wednesday, which ended in boisterous wind and heavy pattering rain, ushered in a morn ing of no animating portent. The sky lowered, the wind blew chilly ; at nine o'clock there was some thing more than a drizzle, but at ten it rained down right. The loyalty of our townsmen, however, suffered no damp, for the preparation to receive his Royal Highness went on with unabated vigour. At an early hour in the morning flags were displayed in various parts of the town. At eleven o'clock the Mackintosh marched about 250 of his clan through the town to post them on the road to Doch four, conveniently for receiving the Prince. These Highlanders presented a very imposing and fine ap pearance, and were loudly cheered as they passed along the streets. About two o'clock the field pieces brought from the Fort were drawn to the Castle. hill, and the town, under the auspices of a blink of sun shine, was assuming a busy and very gay appearance. A flag by this time was waving over the battlements of the castle, and two displayed from the new Free Church school a very fine effect. A procession was then formed to meet his Royal Highness. The Town Council and the party that joined it now opened up so as to receive the Prince as soon as he arrived, and stood in this position for about an hour in anxious expectation. The Mackintosh, and his brother, .2Eneas Mackintosh,_ Esq., of Daviot, and Colonel Mackintosh, of Far r , b o th in the Highland dress, acting as lieutenants, took his position at the head of his men at Tomnahurich-bridge. When the carriage came in sight the cortege were loudly greeted by the chief and his followers, who, closing up behind, preceded by Bruce, the piper of the Mackintosh, playing the fine martial pibrochs of the clan, formed a guard of honour, and escorted the Prince till he joined the procession. As th e carr iage containing his Royal Highness, the Marqui s o f Abercorn, and Mr. Baillie, of Dochfour, came in sight of the civic assemblage, a deafening shout was set up, to which the heavy boom of artillery from the Castle hill gave the time, and the bells of the town rang a merry octave. The bands very appropriately struck up "The Lass I left behind me, --a happy allusion to her Majesty that was generally appre ciated. From the bridge to the Exchange the street was lined by the various public bodies, the royal cortege passing up the centre. A broad stripe of fine carpet was laid over the Exchange from the carriage to the Town-hall, which is a handsome building of some antiquity, and contains fine paintings of Presi dent Forbes, Flora Macdonald, and others. his Royal Highnses was led into the hall by the Provost, and accompanied by the Marquis of Abercorn and the other members of the royal suite, when an address was presented, to which his Royal Highness returned a gracious answer. His Royal Highness then presented himself at one of the windows, and was received with tremendous cheering, which he acknowledged by repeatedlybtfor bow ing. Three cheers were giv_en t. e y_t i e nc m e ew ales, the Queen, Prince Albert, and h Pr Castle-street to visit the ceeded in the carriage up county buildings. The . . magnificent view enjoyed dhis Royal Highness's irom the Castle-hill elicited after which his Royal Highness left the room . pro , Prince took his departure for Dochfour with satisfaction at the agreeable marked pleasure and of the inhabitantsof visit, and the loyal attentions. warmest admiration. Returning by the same route, some time with Mr. Baillie in Highness walked for the garden and b e autifully-arranged and picturesque Inverness. After his arrival at Dochfour, his Royal grounds which surround the house. Shor t l y before dinner the Earl of Seafield p resented an address from the county of Inverness. His Royal Highness took occasion repeatedly to express to Mr. Baillie his extreme gratification with the reception given him by the citizens of Inverness. The following parties were invited to meet the Prince at dinner, and were all in attendance :—The Mar quis of Stafford, Earl Grosvenor, the Earl of Seafield, Lord Lovat, Lord Saltoun, Lord Cosmo Russell, Lady Rachel Russell, Mr. and Lady Louisa Ramsay, the Mackintosh, Mr., Mrs. and Miss Hay Ma c k enz i e , o f Cromartie, Seaforth, Glenmoriston, &c. & c . ; Sh er iff Tytler, r. Grant of Bught. At ten o'clock the Prince, accompanied by the Marquis of Abercorn and Mr. Baillie, came into the northern meeting, and were followed by all the party at Dochfour. His Royal Highness was dressed al Highness re in plain clothes, and wore a star and garter, as did also the Marquis of Abercorn. Having remained turned to t two Dochfour,hours at the w h b e a r l e l , h h e i s s l R e pot and passed the y night. After breakfast this morning the Prince was accompanied by Mr. Ballie and family, and those staying at the house, to the temporary floating pier, consisting of six barges thrown out into the loch, and at half-past nine his Royal Highness embarked in the Fairy, proceeded up Loch Ness, visiting the celebrated Falls of Foyers in passing, and reached Fort Augustus at mid-day. His Royal Highness was expected to join her Majesty at six o'clock this evening at Fort William, to depart to-morrow morn age from Scotland. 1 ing on the homeward voy FLEETWOOD, MONDAY AFTERNOON.—Up to the latest hour of regular ,dispatch the eagerly expected royal squadron is not in view. The expected arrival of the Queen at this port. has created the greatest possible interest amongst all classes of society in the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire. We have already noticed the preparations which have been made by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company for the royal landing, and the con veyance of her Majesty, the Prince, and family, en route to Buckingham Palace. The selection of this newly-made and most eligible port to receive our Gracious Sovereign oo her return from her Majesty's Scottish dominions, is justly regarded as the most eventful era in the history of a place which a few years since was nothing but a sandbank, and if the Queen should so far condescend as to:receive the loyal address of the authorities, the gratification of the en terprising inhabitants will be complete. The formation of the new port of Fleetwood, now the principal mail communication between England and the north of Ireland, was commenced in 1837, under the supervision and plan of Captain Denham, R.N., marine surveyor, and completed considerably below the estimated cost, a very rare circumstance. The site of the town of Fleetwood in 1837 was a mere rabbit-warren, and scarcely a street in the place; it is built upon the property of Sir Hesketh Fleet wood, whose mansion is about a mile from the town, and was famous by the resort of the conspirators in the time of Cromwell; there is still the remains of an underground communication, three quarters of a mile from under the house. Nothing can surpass the beauty of the view from Fleetwood over Morecombe Bay, Ulverstone, &c., and to the Climberland mountains, topping one above the other in every conceivable variety; the view is extensive and grand beyond description. Lancaster is seen on the right, with its noble castle towering above the town, and the beauty of the scenery to a considerable distance round about it is exceedingly picturesque. For the public, on this joyful occasion, every pos sible accommodation has been provided by the com pany, and special trains have been running from every town on the line of railway between this place and Leeds and Manchester ; the consequence is, that thousands of people have flocked thither from those places. Although the royal squadron has not yet made its appearance, there is no doubt that it was her Majesty's intention to reach this place last night. The state railway carriage arrived here, by com mand, last night, and Mr. Wheeler, the news-agent, at Manchester, received instructions on Saturday night to furnish several of the London daily and pro vincial newspapers to the royal party at Fleetwood on Sunday night. There are still a great number of visitors in the town, amongst whom are Sir llesketh Fleetwood, the lord of the manor ; W. Gale, Esq., the high sheriff; J. W. Patten, Esq., M.P.; James Heywood, Esq., M.P. ; Wilson Ffrance, Esq., late sheriff of the county ; Henry Houldsworth, Esq. chairman of the railway company, and many of the directors ; General Sir Thomas Arbuthnot, and several other officers, &c. During the whole of the morning the wind has blown a stiff breeze from the north-went, which is the most favourable wind for the royal squadron should it be on its way to this port. GREENOCK, SEPT. 19. The Princess Royal passed close to the royal squadron (saluting in the usual form) steering south wards, at half-past six this morning, off the Point of Corsewall.—Glasgow Argus. EXPECTED ARRIVAL AT BUCKINGHAM PALACE. Her Majesty's return was expected in town early yesterday afternoon, and a crowd of persons assem bled early at the Euston-square terminus to greet the Queen on her Majesty's arrival again in the metro polis. Along the line of route, and at the park gates, groups of persons also collected, and, notwithstand ing the hear tgin, they kept their ground for many hours.

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 20.—8 y the arrival of the Howe, 120, Captain Sir James Stirling, and the Vixen steam-sloop, Commander A. P.

Mait land, and the Jackal iron steamer, Lieutenant Com mander Western ; also the Spanish commodore's ship, one corvette, a brig, and a steam sloop ; the -French gunnery ship Iphegenia, and a steamer, and the Por tuguese flag-ship, a two decker, a frigate, and two or three corvettes and smaller vessels of war. By 7 A.M. the squadron was under weigh and standing down the Tagus in gallant style, the St. Vincent leading ; the Howe, Vengeance, Canopus, and Queen following in the order in which they are named, accompanied by the steamers, the Stromboli bringing up the rear. The St. Vincent and Howe stood into Caxia's bay ; the Vengeance, Canopus, and Queen kept their wind. At 7. 30 the signal was made to shorten sail, and prepare to be taken in tow by the steamers denoted. Wind then about S.S.W., moderate breeze. At 8 the Canopus, taken in tow by the Dragon, passed the Vengeance, and went ahead at a good rate. The Vengeance was taken in tow by the Vixen ; the St. Vincent fol lowed in tow of the Sidon ; the Howe of the Odin ; and the Queen of the Avenger. The Howe had her sails furled ; the other ships had their topsails on the cap. At 9.20 A.M. the rate of towing, by signal, was—Canopus, 6 knots ; Vengeance, 41; St. Vincent, 51 ; Howe, 5f ; and Queen, 5 ; moderate breeze and smooth water. At 10 cast off from the steamers, and set topsails, jib, and spanker. At sunset the squadron were excercised in reefing top sails and courses. " Saturday the 11th--light winds and calms. — At 3 P.M. the Howe parted company for England. The Avenger was ordered to get her steam up and England. proceed in "Sunday s t h h o e re l2: o h. lo T ok he ou A t v for e ng e the r re p jo a i e n k e e d t fro an n: signalled Have not seen packet.' In the afternoon a steamer's train of smoke was descried merging above the horizon. The Avenger was immediately sent in chase; she returned about six P.M., with letters for the squadron from England. The signal was quickly flying, Send for letters,' at all times a joyful one. "Monday the 13th.—The line-of-battle ships were exercised at general quarters, each ship laid out her target and commenced firing shot, but a dense fog put a stop to it for half an hour or more. When the weather cleared the signal was made to form line-of battle in single column and pass between the targets. The St. Vincent led, followed by the Vengeance, Canopus, and Queen, under topsails and topgallant sails ; each ship, as her guns were made to bear on the targets, commenced firing from both sides six rounds from each gun in rapid succession, with spirit and good aim. The firing was admirably good, not a shot having been fired but would have struck a ship had one been in the targets' place ; as it WAS they were riddled. In the meantime the Vixen had been ordered to Lisbon, and the signal was made, that there would be an opportunity for sending letters to England by her when she returned.

The time occupied by the steamers unshipping their floats prior to their trial of sailing yesterday, as given by signal, was—Sidon, 80 minutes; Avenger, 61 minutes; Stromboli, 60 minutes ; Dragon, 55 minutes ; and Odin, 50 minutes." When the Vixen parted company for England the squadron were off the rock of Gibraltar. The Vixen steam-sloop, Co4'Snder A. P. Ryder, came into the harbour this moiling, to replenish fuel, and refit for foreign service "on station." The Fury steam-sloop, Commander J. Wilcox, got under weigh this morning, and proceeded to the westward for a trip round the Isle of Wight to try her engines. She goes direct to Rio, thence to the East Indies. The Geyser steam-sloop, Commander P. T. Brown, hauled off from the dockyard this morning, to have her compasses tried. It is understood this vessel and the Fury will sail together for Plymouth about Satur day next. The Howe, 120, Captain Sir James Stirling, is taking out her powder, lower deck guns, &c., prepa ratory to coming into harbour, where she will be docked to examine her bottom. The Fisgard, 42, Captain Duntze, landed her treasure to-day; it was in most excellent condition as to the package, rather an unusual circumstance, which reflects very great credit upon the officer most imme diately in connexion with its custody, Mr. T. H. C. Gray, the clerk of the ship. The Dockyard fire-brigade *as called out this morning at four o'clock to assist at extinguishing a fire in Clock-street, Common Hard, Portsea. By the directions of Lieutenant Hall, the director of police in the dockyard, the hose of the engines of the establishment were fitted to the pipes in the yard, and carried the whole length of the Hard, whereby so immense a body of water was thrown upon the blazing tenement that the fire was speedily extinguished, though not before the house in which it originated was gutted. Had not this assistance by Lieutenant Hall and the men under his command been promptly rendered, the whole of Common Hard must have been destroyed, as a very , fresh breeze, amounting to half a gale, had been blowing all night. CHATHAM, SEPT. 19.—The Sealark, 10 gun brig, Commander R. D. White, was towed into this har bour yesterday morning by: the African steam-vessel, to be paid off, and this morning she disembarked the crew of a Brazilian schooner, of the name of Ebro, 164 tons burden, which she captured on her passage home, having 197 slaves on board, in 4 N. latitude, and 22 West longitude, bound to Rio de Janeiro. The crew of the slaver consists of Spaniards and Brazilians, 14 in number, one of them having died yesterday, on the passage to Chatham. They were landed at the Sun-pier, and conveyed thence to Lon don, to be disposed of by order of the Government. The Diligence, naval transport, Martin master, with stores from Pembroke, arrived alongside the dockyard this morning, and has commenced unloading. LOSS OF TWO WHALERS. (From the Hull Packet.) We regret that we have this week to record the total loss of two vessels, employed in the Davis' Straits Fishery; one, the Bon Accord, of Hull, com manded by Captain Lee, and the other the Alfred, of Boness. The following is an extract from a letter received by Mr. Robert Collinson, of this town, ma naging owner of the Bon Accord, from the mate, dated Egosminde, Danish Settlement, Davis' Straits, July 28, 1647 : " We lost our ship on the 3d of July, and after 20 days' hard suffering arrived here, and are now on board the brig Peru, of Copenhagen. We had two fishes, 25 tons. The ship was lost in 75 deg. north, as was the Alfred, of Boness, also ; she had one fish. The day before we saw fourteen sail about ten miles north of us. The 29th of June, the Prince of Wales, clean ; Lord Gambier, clean ; Truelove, one fish ; Abram, one small fish, all of Hull ; Traveller, one ; Joseph Green, one ; Resolution, one, all of Peter head. All the Dundee ships clean. The St. An drew, of Aberdeen, two fishes, and Pacific, same port, clean ; Lady Jane, of Newcastle, one fish ; the Kirkaldy ships clean ; the American ship, five fishes, 800 seals, 95 tuns. Signed Francis Lee, late mate of the Bon Accord, of Hull." In addition to the above, Mr. Robert Collinson, who arrived here from Hamburgh on Wednesday, states that there were in that port fourteen of the gki, 11 4 crew of the Alfred, who had ar • - ed from Davis' Straits, via Copenhagen ngkrepori *Att.& whole of the crews of both tilt aed vess s 'wVIW saved, one of the Bon ATco d; who dieclapsieviowly to her loss, and another of the same crew byl4lling from an iceberg. Both were Shetland melt, The following int esting narrative of the su ingE of the crew cord, after the los he vessel, is extr ete um a lamer of the rrtate wife, in this town : " it was on the 3d of July that we lost the ship, between three and four o'clock in the. morning. It was then blowing a hurricane from the S.W., with con stant snow. The hands were called about a quarter of an hour before she was lost. I had just time to get my things upon me, when the two floes came toge ther. I never thought that I had so much strength, for I carried my father like a doll and handed him over the side. I then ran down into the cabin to save his watch, but it was too late ; the deck under my feet and the beams above my head were flying in all directions, and it was with the greatest difficulty that I reached the deck again. I have lost everything. I never shall forget the sight. The Alfred was about 200 yards ahead of us. She took the nip first, and the ice went right over her. Oh, what a sight I To see 98 men upon the ice, some of them cursing the hour that gave them birth. I first looked at the wreck and saw there was no shelter there. Then, with horror, looked to the ice, and oh, what a sight met my eyes I There was my poor aged parent wring ing his hands and tearing the hair off his head, pray ing to God to take his life. These eyes, I hope, will never see the like again. We were twelve hours cn the ice before we got a seat made for my father, and a fire made. I then went down to the wreck, and saved his chest and bedrug, one cask of pork, one cask of bread, one cask of flour, four casks of ale, and twenty gallons of brandy, which we took to his tent, and got the crow's nest there also, to make a bed cabin for him. We then made a tent for the men, and a fire. I got' an empty bread cask and made a tent for myself, but being wat through and cold I could nut sleep. I got up and walked on the ice to get warm, being almost perished. I went into the men's tent, and they had a fire that would have roasted a drove of oxen, but there was no chance of getting near it. They were laid oae upon another, but at length the fire dis appeared through the ice, and when they awoke they were almost frozen. I then tra velled over to the Alfred's tents, and there they were a great deal more comfortable, for they had saved their bedclothes and chests all dry. The next day was spent in getting our boats ready for launching over the ice; constant snow , a nd the wird blowing as hard as ever. We all suffered a great deal from wet and cold this day. The fifth it fell calm, with a very hot clothespair f s driedtoo stockings. little. My lu wen t down to the wreck and my chest was floating upon the water. It not bei n g locked an d being bot tom up, most of my clothes were gone out, the men y r a h t o h t er sun. ga W gave m e e a g shirt tese m an e d a had taken them out, and then turned my chest bottom up, for the things that were underneath were gone, and those that were laid upon top were saved. At nine o'clock we commenced launching the boats over the ice, and at two o'clock in the morning of the 6th of July we got all the boats in a hole of water. I then lost my eyesight for two days by the reflection of the ice. I suffered a great deal, and I felt that I could have lain d own an d di e d, had not the thought s of my wif e an d c hild b orne me through all my trials and sufferin gs . At four o'clock we launched boat again and proceeded south , my f a ther and other thick three boats in company.

July 9, six o'clock in the morning, landed on an island to make some tea ; found five dozen duck eggs on the island, fried them and made a very hearty meal. There were one of our boats and two boats of the Alfred left the island as I landed. Eight o'clock, another of the Alfred's boats landed. Ten o'clock, left the island in company with the further Alfred's boat. Noon, could not get any south for the ice, landed upon an and all has, egging.

I pro ceeded south, the Alfred s boat in company. At noon the weather cleared up, and I saw six boats running south, the master of the Alfred having a Dane for a pilot. Six o'clock, landed at Uppernavick, worn out with fatigue. Ten o'clock, three more of the boats arrived ; we were all treated very kindly. 11th, three boats of the Alfred and one of our boats left for Lively, and three left for Lively the next day; we suffered a great deal from wet and cold that day. July 17th, landed at Lively after a passage of five days, and what we suffered tongue cannot tell; only those that have endured it can form an idea. I ar rived here on the 24th, after a very bad passage. I am now on board the Danish brig Peru, and shall sail for Denmark on the 20th of August. I am in the cabin and treated very kindly. Robert Wilson is the only Englishman with me ; there are fifteen of our men on board altogether, and seven of the Alfred's; the rest of ours are at Uppernavick, 300 miles north of this. I am afraid they will not all get home this year; there are sixty men altogether, and the captain of the vessel says he can only take thirty." RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. PARTIAL OPENING OF THE EDINBURGH ASD NORTHERN RAILWAY. The ceremony of opening the Edinburgh and Northern Railway to within a few miles of both its termini, at Dundee and Perth, took pace en Friday. This line connects Edinburgh with Dundee on the one hand, and with Perth on the oiler, by a short route through a populous and thriving country. The company having purchased the Granton and I3urntis land ferry, and amalgamated with the Edinburgh and Granton company, passengers will be booked to and from Edinburgh; but the southern terminus of the line, properly speaking, is at Burntisland. From Burntisland the line proceeds by Kinghorn, Kirk. caldy, Dysart, and Markinch, to Kettle ; about a mile beyond which place it divides, one branch going by Newburgh to Perth, and the other by Cupar to Dundee. The distance by the line from Burntisland to Ferry-Port-on-Craig (the ferry across the Tay to Dundee) is about thirty-seven miles, and to Perth about the same. In both cases the distance is less, or at least not more, than by the turnpike road—a result which has been attained without works of any think like a stupendous character, and without resort ing to inclines of more than ordinary steepness and frequency. The portion of the line opened extends to Cupar on the Dundee branch, and to Lindores (parish of Abdie) on the Perth, leaving about eleven miles of the Dundee route and thirteen of the Perth to be performed in the meantime by coaches. The Dundee line is expected to be completed in Decem. ber ; the Perth line a month or two later. The directors had invited to the ceremony a large party of friends, including the magistrates of Edin burgh and the other towns connected N ith the line. It was arranged that trains should start at twelve o'clock for Cupar from Burntisland, to which place, before the appointed hour, a very large company had been brought by the boats from Edinburgh and trains from Cupar arid Lindores. At about twenty minutes past twelve, the first train, consisting of twenty car riages, moved off; and another train, of about the same dimensions, followed at a short interval. From Burntisland to lnveriel, near Kirkcaldy, the line keeps the seashore, affording the passengers a mag nificent view of the Firth and the Lothians. From Burntisland to Kinghorn there is a rise of 1 in 200. Immediately to the Rest of the latter place occurs the heaviest work on the line—a tunnel 240 yards long, cut through hard whinstone. At Kinghorn, the trains stopped to take in water, none being procurable at the Burnt island terminus—a deficency likely to be felt as an inconvenience. Almost every place throughout this populous district commanding a view of the line was decorated with flags, avid occupied by groups of people, who saluted the trains as they passed with cheers. The trains (the engines of the first of which was driven by Mr. Grainger, the engi neer of :the line), move d, at a slow pace, partly, we presume, from the gret weight, and partly from motives of prudence connected with the multitudes of spectators whom it was impossible in every case to keep at a safe distance. From this cause the first train took nearly twenty-five minutes to reach Kirkcaldy, and nearly an hour more to reach Cupar; but of coursolthis furnishes no criterion for judging of the rate of travelling on the line under ordinary circum stances. At Thornton or Orr Water, the Dunfermline branch joins the main line. This line strikes westward up the Valley of the Orr, by Auchtexd 'wan to the po pulous coal district of Lochgelli,apd t :Mice by Cross gates to Dunfermline. It is expected to be opened the length of Lochgelly in December; but the portion between that place and Dunfermline will not be finished fur six or seven months. At New Inn, about tw o miles from Markinch, we r7ach the summit level of the line„ which is 300 feet above the level of the sea—that is, 70 feet luw< r than the summit level of the North British at Grant's house. The summit level is reached by a rise front Coalton of Balgonie of 1 in 110 ; but for a short dis tance immediately to the north of the summit there is a gradient of 1 in 95, which is the steepest on the line. It is at this portion of the line also that the deepest cutting occurs, several hundred yards being cut at one place through rock, and further on through loose sand, to the depth of 45 or 50 feet. At a place called Loch Muir, close to the New Inn station, con siderable difficulties were encountered from the swampy nature of the ground, and the line crosses the morass on piles driven forty feet below the surface. From the summit the line proceeds northward, at a decline of 1 in 100, to Kettle. In traversing this portion of the line a new country opens up. Suddenly the passenger comes in view of nearly the whole Vale of Eden or Howe of Fife, stretching from St. Andrew's Bay to the borders of Kinross-shire, a length of 25 miles, and in shape a straight unbroken level, lying between two ranges of hills, and thickly studded with farmhouses and villages, and with " seats" em bosomed in wood. Among the villages sighted at this point are Falkland, with its old royal palace ; Auchtermuchty, Strathmiglo, Fruchie, Dunshelt, Springfield, Letham, Kettle, Pitlessie, in all of which the sound of the shuttle never fails. Almost closing up the vista to the east are the spires of Cupar, the county town. No railway in Scotland presents to the passenger so fine a prospect as is here enjoyed during half an hour's travelling above and through this far-spreading and smiling strath. At a place called Ladybank, about a mile beyond the Kettle station, the line divides. The Perth line proceeds across the Howe to Collessie, rising one in 400, and thence, crossing the hills by a narrow pass, to Woodmill, by a rise of one in 120. It then pro ceeds at a level along the banks of the beautiful Loch of Lindores to Abdie (about two miles from New burgh), where the finished portion of the works ter minates. The Dundee line proceeds on a level to Springfield, and on a fall of one in 100 for the re maining two miles to Cupar. At Cupar, the principal portions of the ceremony took place. The whole population of the town and neighbourhood " turned out" in holiday attire, and welcomed the trains with repeated rounds of cheering. But a welcome had been prepared more substantial than the breath o f popu l ar applause. A spacious pa vilion had been prepared by the directors, in which was waiting a sumptuous collation, with an unlimited allowance of champagne. At four the company broke up, returning southwards in two trains, one calling at all the stations, and the other proceeding w ith ou t stoppage to Burntisland. F rom the begin ' ning to end not the slightest accident marred the festivities of the day.—Scotsman. laisn MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.-- The works of the Midland Great Western Railway are progressing most satisfactorily in this neighbourhood. The arch over the Ballinderry road was closed in on Monday last, and in a few days the foundation will be laid for that to be erected at the rear of the gaol. For strength and durability of work, and neatness of execution, the masonry of this portion of the line connot be exceeded.-- Westmeath Guardian. SCOTCH CHURCH, RIVER - TERRACE.—SOMe of the congregation of this church having telt that the ejection of a successor to their late lamented minister, the Rev. Josias Wilson, was not carried with an impartial spirit or fairness, determined on separating themselves from the church, of which many of them have been its staunch supporters and members since its establishment; and, having applied to the Presbytery to be acknowledged a new and distinct congregation, met last Sunday tor the first time in Baker's Sale Rooms, High-street, Islington, which hav e b een fi tted up in a com modious and com fortable manner. The rooms were filled by a numerous and respectable audience. The Rev. Mr. Alexan a de d r l of Duntocher, near Glasgow, preached whol excellent ent undertaken n i prsive sermon. The gentler . en tote the representatives of t yet small &ck are such as will discharge their duties creditably,. as the zeal and. perseverance in their labours will testify. Mr. Alexander will be succeeded by another eminent clergyman from Scotland.
