SINGULAR AFFAIR.—On Monday evening a young Irish girl presented herself at the Walworth-road Police statiou, and addressing Inspector Worrell, said sbe wished to give herself up to matt an accusation of felony that har t been made against her, and added that she had come from Kingstown, near Dublin, to do so. The in spector, who at once reengnised her, perceiving that she had a trundle in her band, which she seemed to be taking more than ordinary care et, ask e d of what it consisted, and stn.; without the slightest hesitation, told him. She said ttritt during her passage from Kingstown to Holy head sh.e had been seized with the pains of labour, and with the assistance of a female on board was delivered of a female chili, which was dead at its birth. She did not stop at Holyhead, but Caine off at once with the train, and walked from Enston-statton to the Walmorth road. On hearing this strange story, Mr. Worrell at once sent for a medical man, who examined the body of the infant, and gave it as his opinion that its death had been caused by neglect. The un'ortunate woman was at once sent to Newington workhouse, and the remains of her offspring were also sent to the workhouse to await the ccroner's inquest. (BY SUBMARINE AND BRIT"!

A Personal Narrative of the Discovery of the North • West Passage. By Alex. Armstrong, M.D., R.N. Hurst and Blackett. The sti%ject of this work is one which will at once secu: e for it a large number of readers. There is a:ways a peculiar interest in thedetails of ex ploits and perils on the world of waters, andin the present instance it is reloub . e I from the - attendant circumstances. The object of the expedition, the perilous nature of the undertaking under the most favourable auspices, the grand discovery that has made the voyage SJ memorable, together with the fact of its extreme length and severe hardships, combine to heighten the interest and increase the importance of the 'narrative. It has not been left to so late a date t 5 give to the public the history of the expedition, Lut another volume can hardly b 3 deemed sup rflueus. Dr. Armstrong was the sur geoe of h r Majesty's ship Investigator, and dur ing his five ye irs' sojourn he kept a journal and note-bo rk, front which he has compiled this volume. On his return, his health was so much injured that he was unable to undertake any literary labour, and being subsequently engaged in the Baltic cam paign and in the West Indie-r, he has been forced to defer the arrangement of his papers fera con siderable period. It is, however, to be hoped thst a voyage, " which for its duration and privat'ons is unparalleled in maritime annals," has not lost its interest among us. Though some years have passed away since that memorable expedition, and though the excitement and anxiety of war have distracted - our attention, yet few will regard with indifference the record of those lonely days and nights in the Arctic Circle, which might well try the courage of the bravest. On Sunday, January 20th, 1850, the. " Enterprise" and the " Investi gator" weighed anchor in Plymouth Sound, and started on the search for Sir John Franklin and his companions. On the 6th of October, 1854, the officers and crew-landed off Ramsgate, having thus been absent nearly five years, and having passed four consecutive winters in the Polar regions. The " Invstigator," under the command of Capttin M'Clure, entered the ice alone, having parted com pany with her consort the "Enterprise," soon' I after leaVing Eng:and. The latter being a much' faster vessel soon outstripped the " Investigator," . whO had sacrificed speed to strength, having been thoroughly prepared and fortified for her perilous voyage by Win. Rice, Eiq., of Woolwich Dock yard: The two ships fivally parted company off the coast of South America, and the officers and crew of the Investigator do not appear to have been pleased by the desertion of their comrades. Having thrOugh some good advice, followed a shorter route, they arrived first at the rendezvous, ani gladly availed themselves of the opportunity of obtaining distinction by prosecuting the search alone. The outset of their voyage was, the most prosperous, as it was in the first year that they ascertained the existence of the passage. On the 10th of October 1850, the ship being housed for the winter, in the centre of the pack of ice, a small party, including Captain M'Cl ure an d Dr. Armstrong, quitted the ship and took possession of the large tract of land, now known as Prince Albert's Land. They soon ascended some high ground and made their obser vations. "Our view to the northward, however, was rather more cheering, notwithstanding the deceptive appear ances ever caused by distance in Arctic regions, when the atmosphere is highly refractive, and where ice and land are often so intimately blended together, that it is often impossible to distinguish one from the other. We could clearly trace the termination of the western land, or that of Banks', to a headland or cape of considerable elevation, while that on the eastern side tended away to the north-east, with a clear, undoubted field of packed ice, intervening —continuous with the Strait of Prince of Wales, in which the ship then was. Everything, therefore, was fully confirmatory of the opinions pre viondy formed, and no doubt could remain as to the existence of a passage. From the summit of that bill I felt convinced we were looking on the ice-packed Strait of Barrow, that the highway to England from ocean to ocean lay before us, and that we had incontrovertibly established the existence of a North-West Passage." Some days later Captain M'Clure and some of the crew" ;started off to verify their surmises. He re turned after a short absence with a full confirma tion of their hopes. " Although no doubt could be entertained as to the existence of the passage, from our previous observatione, yet we hailed with great gladness, their entire confirma tion on the return of Captain M'Clure. As no official announcement of it bad been previously made, the pre sent was considered a fit opportunity for doing so, and in these simple words our great discovery was recorded in the ship's log. " ' Ociober 31st, the captain returned at 8 30 a.m., and at 11.30 a.m., the remainder of the party, having, upon the 26di instant, ascertained that the waters we are now in, communicate with those of Barrow Strait, the north-eastern limit being in latitude 73' 31', N. longitude 114' 39', W. thus establishing the existence of a North- West Passage between the Atlantio and Pacific Oceans ' "Thus was established the greatest maritime discovery of the age, which for three centuries had baffled the skill, enterprise, and energy of the civilised world. It bad beep-, unier the guidance and mercy of Providence, achieved by us when in search of the expedition that was lost in making the attempt to discover it." This was the passage through the Prince of Wales Strait, which divides Baring Island from Prince Albert's Land. A second, as is well known, was subsequently discovered to the north of Bating Island, through Banks Strait, which separates it from Melville Island. Dr. Armstrong regards.the en trance into the Bay of Mercy (where the Investi gator was finally abandoned) to have been the fatal error of the voyage. It must certainly have been a matter of deep regret to the gallant com mander and his high-spirited crew to abandon the good ship that had borne them so long, instead of completing the navigation of the passage and re turning to England in the vessel in which they started. Dr. Armstrong reserves to himself the right of occasionally censuring the conduct of the ex pedition, and appears to have had the misfortune of frequent'y differing in opinion from the captain. His era:6ms and propositions will no doubt be disputed, but he does not hesitate to award to every individual engaged in the daring enterprise the highest praise fur courage and endurance. The health of the men was severely tested by the com pulsory diminution of food during the severe weather. Dr. Armstrong found from experience that the second winter in such latitudes is more trying to the constitution than the first, the third than the second, and so on. Consequently a greater proportion of animil and vegetable fool is required to restore the exhaustion of the powers, anti unfoituriaiely the voyagers were obliged to have le:s than before, owing to the decrease of their supplies. The health and spirits of the men stood the test bravely, and their cheerfulness during I the tedious monotony of the lonely winter months is represented as most meritorious. At the pro spect of passing another winter—the third—in the Bay of Mercy, their courage gave way. They had suffered severely for many months from the incle mency of the season and the want of food. In the month of January, 1853, the temperature fell lower than has ever been experienced by .any former expedition, the mean temperature of the month being 43 des. 37 min. below Zero. Sickness and exhaustion were producing alarming results on the strongest, and their only chance of escape appeared to be the de-perate one of leaving the ship and travelling over miles of ice in search of some small depots of provisions, which were known to exist at a great distance. This plan presenting the most formidable appearance to a body of men reduced by cold, hunger, and sickness, the feelings of the desolate crew may be imagined at the unlooked-for appearance of Led. Pim. He arrived, strange to say, just after the first death. "It was at 4 p.m. on the afternoon of the 6th of April, all was silent in and about the ship, four men were on shore making a grave for their departed ship mate, distant from the ship about 400 yards; two officers wore returning across the ice from superintend ing the work, when a figure was observed approaching from the rough ice to seaward. They at first supeeeed him to be one of our men, but as he came towards thempiro he proved to be a stranger. He was Lieutenantho had of H.M.S. Resolute, from Melville Isla nd, w most providentially reached the Investigator after a most severe and harassing journey of 28 days being then the earliest Polar travelling on record, azL made his appearance amongst us a deliverer. Immediately a distant object was observed , treading its way through the rough ice, which proved to be his sledge drawn by five Esquimaux dogs and two men. I cannot attempt to convey any idea of the scene which took pla ce can board, or the expressions of joy and gladnesn which were ,o abundantly poured forth, when the intelligence that flew with the rapidity of lightning from 'stem to stern,' became known. It was at first pronounced either a mis take or a joke. Indeed, the mind for a moment appeared confused, as if unable to comprehend the truth of ss hat was he; rd, and several strange involuntary questions were hastily muttered asked and answered in a breath. At length when thoroughly aware of the reality, and fully aroused by a shout of joy, raised by a few men on deck, announcing the approach of the stranger, there was a sudden and simultaneous rush to the hatchways i • the Weak and the strong, ' the maimed, the halt and the blind' following each other, amazed and agitated, as fast as their enfeebled limbs could bear them, .ne,til-the deck was gained, and they were afforded an opportunity of verifying what they had just heard. Some, as doubting the reality of what they saw, rushed out on the ice, and were not satisfied till they met Lieutenant Pim, touched him, handled him, and heard him speak, when they no longer doubted. He was the first of our countrymen we had seen, or whose voice we had heard, for three long and dreary years. The sledge soOn fcl lowed, and the party were received by three as hearty cheers as ever came from the lungs of British sailors. No words could express the feelings of heartfelt glad nese which all experienced at this unlooked-for, this most providential arrival. Relief was now at hand — succour had reached us.

The circum stances which brought about this happy result may be briefly told. On the arrival of H.M. ships Resolute and Intrepid at Dealy Island, in the autumn of the previous year, 1852, from England, and while employed in lay. ing out provision depots to facilitate the spring travel ling, in the prosecution of the.. search for ourselites, or Sir J. Prankltn's eraedition ; they found at Winter Harbour the record which Captain WC:lure had de posited there in April, 1852, an event as unlooked for by them as the arrival of their party was unexpected by us. On receipt of the record Captain Kellett determined to send a party in search of us at the earliest period of the spring, and accordAgly, on the 10th of March, de spatched that enterprising and intrepid officer (Lieut. Pim) and his associates in search of us. The party, which was originally intended to proceed via Prince of Wales Strait to the Mackenzie River, was now united to that intended to go to Cape Spencer, both proceed. lag direct to the Resolute, the Mackenzie River route being abandoned." *** * . * - "After one day's res , , Lieut-nant Pim and party left us on their return to the Resolute, carrying with him all our beat thanks and wishes for the strenuous exer tions he had made to reach us. It affords me unalloyed pleasure here to record the debt of gratitude, I must, in common with all the Investigators, ever feel towards this officer. He was a volunteer for the duty of searching for tv, and undertook the iniroey at an unprecedented early period of the year, (10th o f M arc b , ) at a tempera ture of 50 below zero—nor is it this alone which entitles him to our gratitude, as nothing could exceed the kind ness and warmth of feeling he showed towards . us, parti cularly when pressing on our acceptance many little things of which we stood in need. But when he saw us sitting down with a half-starved aspect, on the morning after his arrival, to what was denoinlnated breakfast, (a cup of weak cocoa with sugar, and a moiety of bread) his feelings overcame him ; he rushed to his sledge, then out on the ice, brought a large piece of bacon, !laced it before us, and gave us the only breakfast we bad known for many a long day. The remembrance of this, and his other acts of kindness to us then, .will I hope, never be effaced from our rarollection. Nor did the two gallant fellows who accompanied him, and who aided in our re lief, (Thomas Bid g ood arid nbert Hoyle) feel less for our condition ; for they had just arrived, as - our men were about to draw lots for their evening meal (a panni kin of tea and a little biscuit)—a novel sight to Om who had come from a land - of plenty ; but so overcame well) they at the sight of our haggard crew, that their manly cheeks became moistened with tears. Captain M'Clure, with an officer and six men, equipped with sledga and provi,ions, left also, the same day, the Btb, to put him self in personal communication with the senior Officer at Melville Island." The adventurers bad yet to pass anothet year in the ice, though under happier circumstauces. The Investigator was finally abandoned in June, 1853, and her gallant officers and crew joined her Ma jesty's ships. Resolute and Intrepid at Dealy Island, returning to England towards the close of the next year in her Majesty's ship North Star, having per formed one of the most perilous and remarkable voyages ever made in the Arctic Sea. Dr. Arm strong does not possess great powers of description, or much original force of style, but the narrative of an eyewitness must always have much to recom mend it, and his style is clear and sensible. He has also sr me pretensions as a naturalist, and his observations on the natural history of those re gions will be useful to the scientific. His collec was unfortunately left in the vessel. The.discovery of petrified wood in' those frozen regions will be extremely interesting to the geologist. The trunks and branches of trees, some of them in a state of semi carbonisation, were discovered in the north of Baring Island, proving, as our anther remarks, that "there existed at one period various and luxurious forms of arboresceut growth in regions where nothing now is to be seen but desolate lands and trackless ice wastes." The chart which is prefixed to the work will be of the greatest ser7ice in enabling the reader to trace the course of the adventurers. Perhaps no eloquence of description, no exertion of the ima gination can enable those who have never quitted a more temperate zone to realise the wonders of the pathless ice wastes. It may well be a matter of surprise to less daring and enterprising nations that so many Englishmen should have sought a grave among those pitiless icebergs, verifying the words of the poet, "The warlike of the isles, The men of field and wave, Are not the rocks their funeral piles, The seas and shores their grave." It might well be a matter of. rejoicing to the voyagers of the Investigator that after so many struggles and failures one solitary English ship should have been the first to make known to the world the North West passage.. The hardships and privations of that voyage are now but a me mory, but a memory that adds another to the glories of the British name. The frost-bound wilderness which the savage Esquimaux desert, the miles of floating ice, scarce the pathway of the reindeer or the polar bear, have aeon human nature display qualities as great and as enduring as the most favoured age or clime ; the courage that faced sudden danger unflinch;ng, the fortitude that maintained a long period of anxiety with firmness, the cheerfulness that baffled care, the ready obedience to discipline, the resignation that met pain and death unshrinking, the fa , th that trusted in God. These are among the virtues that softened those rugged regions adorned by the achievements of so many of our countrymen, and consecrated, we must, alas ! believe by the suffer ings of Franklin and his companions. HER MAJESTY'S SHIP TRANSIT IN TRANSITU. TO THE EDITOR OF THE DAILY NEWS. Sir,—The following particulars are facts within my own knowledge, and relate to her Majesty's troop ships Transit, Perseverance, atd Himalaya. Originally they were designed for fast mail and pas senger packet. The Himalaya was fitted for sea by Captain Kellock, under the auspices of the Pe• ninsular and Oriental Company, and her perform ances have always elicited the very highest com mendations. The Perseverance was handed over to the Admiralty, to be fitted for service as per "Establishment of the Navy ;" and it will be re membered her first evolution before leaving dock was to turn-turtle, capsize part of the saa-mills, doing considerable damage to hull, dock, and caisson. Subsequently, at the instance of the Admiralty, she was taken in band by Capt. Harris, also of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's service, when the masts and yards of a corvette were judiciously substituted for the top-hamper of a "seventy-four ;" but in all other respects, rou tine and the " Establishment" prevailed against every effort to obtain more suitable anchors, or more than one chronometer, by which to navigate the ship. It would be vain to attempt to enumerate the tinkerings her Majtsty's ship Transit has gone through by order of the authorities. It has been a continual going into dock and coming out again, or going out of harbour one day to return the next in a sinking sate ; else to make the first foreign harbour in a state of deep distress ; on a previous occasion it was Brest, and now Corunna has been the part of refuge. The cause of such a state of things is obvious. The "Establishment of the Navy," approved by their lordships, decrees a dray horse load for a race-horse to carry—hence those continual break-downs. On the day of the naval re view the difficulty of raising her ponderous anchor caused considerable delay, thoagh noble lords and grave judges lent a hand at the capstan. It was the fluke of this same anchor, later in the day, which hoooked an unfortunate "gun-boat," and tore the masts out of her ; presenting at all times a dangerous projection for other ships, or for self immolation, as on a late occasion. Now, the aggre gate weight of the Admiralty bower anchors on board the Transit exceeds thirteen and a half tons, costing over 8801., and the bower anchors (Trot man's plan) supplied the Himalaya are under seven and a half tons, and cost less than 2801., though the Himalaya, he it remem b ered, is 1,000 tons greater burden. With them she rode out the ter rific gale of the 14th of November, 1854, in the Black sea, amidst wrecks and destruction to other ships with less efficient grpund tackling ; and it is a significant fit that twice she parted her navy cables of 21 in. diameter, but never once did her light and efficient anchors fail to hold her in safety, having no upper fluke to impale the noble ship in. shoal water, or hook other vessels in shoal water. It would, indeed, be a useful and practical les son, were the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty to ascertain the exact estimate at "Lloyd's" of the risk to ships (such as the Transit) being fitted for sea after the Admiralty regime, and the more sea sible plan of the Peninsular and Oriental Company, by effecting an insurance, and paying out of their own pockets the premium on 100,000 t., in case such a fund should unhappily be needed hereafter, to succour the families of those on board.
