CONTEMPORARY PRESS. THE ELECTION PETITIONS. (From the Leeds Intelligencer.) The sittings of the Hull Election Committee, which . were expected to continue throughout the Easter recess, have been, for the present, rather unexpectedly inter rupted. When the committee met on Monday morning, the chairman, Sir George Strickland, announced that he had received a letter from Mr. Frederick Dundas, one of the members of the committee, stating that in consequence of the dangerous state of his mother's health he had to leave town for Brighton. Under the circumstances it was impossible to proceed, as the Grenville act prohibits election committees from adjourning for a longer period than twenty-four hours, or from proceeding with the in -quiry committed to them in the absence of any one of the eleven members sworn, unless, upon report made, the house grant permission, As the house now stands ad journed, the nine menib.-.!rs present (one of the original eleven, Mr. Muskett, having been already excused at tendance) were obliged to adjourn till the afternoon of the 25th instant, on which day the house resumes its sit tings; meanwhile all the witnesses have returned into Yorkshire, and there is, for the present, a cessation of the enormous expences which have been going on for the last four or five weeks. In reference to the general election sixty-seven peti tions were presented, and regarding subsequent elections there have been four petitions presented, namely, from Tipperary County, Devizes, Maidstone, and Sudbury, making a total of seventy-one. Of these, eight were 'discharged for want of recognizance, thirteen have been withdrawn by the petitioners, thirty-one have been de cided, and nineteen, including that from Hull, still re main to be disposed of. The result, as we have already stated, is, that the con servatives have gained seven seats and lost three, being . equal to a gain of eight votes on a division. The rela tive strength of the two parties. in the house at present is—supposing the late Mr. Hart Logan to be replaced in WeSt Suffolk by another conservative—three hundred and twenty-one, conservatives, and three hundred arid 'thirty-seven whigs and radicals, including the Speaker. SIR FRANCIS BURDETT AND THE RADICAL PRESS. ( From the Morning Herald.) The spiteful ribaldry with which the ministerial prints so unsparingly assail Sir Francis Burdett, and all those who being once reformers are not now destructives, will be best appreciated by a little calm investigation of the .circumstances under which all this venom is engendered and spitten forth. Divesting the attacks to which we allude of that exquisite wit. and most becoming sarcasm which are directed against the years and bodily infirmi ties of Sir F. Burdett, we come to but one direct and examinable charge—namely, that in contending against popery, against meanness and pusillanimity in the di rection of public affairs, and against destructive princi ples in politics, he is an " apostate." What does this word mean ? In modern acceptation an apostate is one who has abandoned the religious or political principles 'which he formerly professed. Does this charge apply especially to Sir Francis Burdett, and are they who so loudly and so bitterly bring this charge against him en titled to do so by their own perfect innocence of any such fault? These are the questions for rational men to look at; while empty fools and thoughtless bigots indulge • 'their nature by repeating the coarse abuse which minis terialists level at all who have the manliness to speak of then] and of their doings in plain terms. .Sir Francis Burdett has always been, of enthusiastic • temperament, but with a foundation of British honour and justice, and a healthy detestation of meanness and equivocation, which were sure to secure him from the vices of political life, though they did not save him from its imprridencies. - But he never set up for a man of deep pianSand careful circumspection. He threw himself with •s ardour into what seemed to him to be the cause of Bri tish liberty and British honour, and he never stopped to Calculate upon contingencies. He was always deficient in that Whig radical virtue of seeing exactly how far his exertions in favour of liberty were likely to serve him ' --Self. To serve the cause of civil and religious liberty was . _ .the passion of Sir Francis Burdett's life, and we see no 'thing in-his present conduct to lead to the belief that it iv -not so still. The foes that threaten civil and religious liberty are not now the same as they were thirty, or 'ten years ago; but with the foes of civil and religious li . 'berty Sir. Francis Burdett still wages war, and war of the most determined description. He is not a man for coin :promises. As a young man, and afterwards in his mid dle age, - the foes of civil and religious liberty were—in 'the' estimation of Sir Francis Burdett—they who resisted the reform of parliamentary representation, and they • who resisted the emancipation of the Roman Catholics. Sit F. - Burdett's exertions were of very powerful effi cacy in determining the mind of the British nation in 'fivetu• of, both those great measures, and eventually lie • caw them accomplished in spite of all the resistance .which he bad for long years contended. He saw and Areard•those with whom 6e had acted proclaim that with •' 'these measures they were satisfied, and more than satis- The Roman Catholics of Ireland declared that the emancipation they had obtained was much more full and unrestricted than they had even ventured to hope for • -,iand the friends of parliamentary reform loudly pro ..shamed,- from one end of the empire to the other, that all their fondest hopes were accomplished, and that the ,peoplewere, at last, fully and fairly represented. . , Sir,Francis.Burdett saw that he and his friends bad .soda great victory, and he hoped for the natural result • ;Of , rictory—peaceand quiet, and - honourable and just 'enjoyment of that which had been arduously fought, for and triumphantly obtained. But here lie was disap pointed, for civil and religious liberty bean to be me naced by other foes. They who had asked for an equa lity of civil privileges in the Protestant state of Great Britain, now turned those privileges against the Pro , testantism of the nation. In gross violation of all their ,:pledges, either expressed or implied, they endeavoured •40 gcr beyond an equality of civil privileges, and con "lemtled for the overthrow of the Protestant church este . 'tilishment. Sir Francis Burdett, instructed by history, ..each in this conduct the greatest danger to. the civil li ,berty of Britons—that liberty whereof Protestantism has • • ever been the best guardian, and lie manfully girded him self for battle with the Popish enemies ef the established 'Protestant church. Is this apostacy ? Is the friend of civil liberty to be called an apostate, because he opposes Popish encroachment, and is.this reproach to come from those who bend and crouch before this Popish tyranny - for the sake of the gain it brings, calling themselves all -the while the friends of liberty ? Who is the real apos tate, the man who remains firm to his pi inciples, gaining. . -nothing thereby but the satisfaction of his conscience, or •ilie man who-afrandons his principles, gaining thereby official place, and patronage, and salary, and court fa _your, and all the pumps and vanities with which weak 'people reeotnpense themselves, when they have earned the contempt of the honest and the honourable ? Sir Francis Burdett contended for a restoration of a - fair representation of the British people, but he never -contended for the establishment of a sordid democracy .upon the ruins of the British constitution. The men who pretend•to.consistency, but who seem to have been consistent only in never losing sight of their own selfish interests, were at one time with Sir Francis Burdett, in deeming that the reform of 1832 was a complete and satisfactory adjustment of the reform question—a settle , ment of the balance of the constitution, which ought to be as permanent as any other great and fundamental ar •• cangements by which nations consent to be governed. ' Bat,ingead of the political p eace w hi c h h e h ad reason to exp.o, he finds the very men *vvlio obtained the. con sent:or-the nation to the reform bill, on the ground that it Was *great settlement of . a great question, now join . ingwith•the disturbers of this settlement, and in requital • • for being suffered toretain the emoluments of office, suf • '- - "fei-Ing'in their turn these disturbers toleep the nation a j oonlinual ferment, gradually we a k en i ng it by A poll . final fever. in.order that they may eventually triumph aver its.noblest and freest institutions. Who is in this ease the apostate? Is it the man who contends for ho `, until.** abiding by the - national settlement for which he strove Kiang, and for peacefully reaping the advantage of that settlement, or the man who still cries for further • •thange, because only in the ferment' of change can he hope- to keep that elevated station which lie owes to the force of faction and not to any confidence in his virtue or his ability ? Lastly, is he more likely to be.really an apostate who, Rs his change of position, has every advantage (inde pendently of honour) that a vain man could desire, or he who, in his change of position, has nothing by it but the public appreciation of his virtue and his spirit ? XRISH Wane* ts.---At a late meeting of the Geological Society of Dublin, Mr. Mallett exhibited specimens of Irish minerals, some of them applicable to economic purposes, and explained their uses. The most important were—ochres from Howth and Lambav, fit for making pigments, of which eight specimens were exhibited; fuller'4 earth, from Lambay ; por . celain clay, from the Sutton side of Howth; sand for moulding, from Belfast Lough, said to be superior to the English, and quite equal to Scotch ; a mass of conglomerate, cemented by arragonite, from Salt-hill. Kingstown ; and a specimen of sulphuret of nickel from Sheffoy Hill, county of Mayo. It is the first time that this latter mineral has been discovered in Ireland. IGNORAMpi AMONG THZ LOIVREI CLASS OF IRlSH.—Yes tarday, at-the New Bailey, in the course of a case in which Ro bert Garner was charged with stealing a brass tap from a &hop, an Irish boy, named. Michael Kelly, was called on to prove that he saw Garner take the tap from the counter. The magistrate, Mr. Maude, asked him if he knew what the book was on which he was'about to be sworn; he replied that be did not; and, in answer to further questions, said he was ten years of age; he did not know what the bible was, and he could not read; he tlitt lint go to school, but he went to the catholic chapel; he did ' tot know bow to say his prayers. nor what prayers meant! Mr. Milne asked the boy's father why he had not instructed him in • these matters,- and he replied that he could not afford to send him to school. Mr. Maude said he could not admit the evi • deuce of a boy like that; and, as he wics the only material wit . nest in the case, the prisoner was discharged.—Manchester Guardian. THE CORN LAWS. (From the Morning Herald.) The Sun reiterates its denunciations of the corn laws—do nunciations, which our contemporary, with becoming modesty, admits that he does not seek to base on " reasoning and facts" —denunciations, therefore, (as may be supposed) of au ex ceedingly harmless de , cription. Here is a sample:— " We are convinced, by some attention to the subject, and the example of the corn law advocates, that reasoning and fuels are alike thrown away on the expediency-mongers, who can argue themselves into the belief that to shut out a.supply of food, and, to lay impediments in the way of our St‘ii4toners and merchants importing what cargoes they like, ansf irr the way of our manufacturers exchanging their cotton cloth rai'the corn of Poland or Prussia, that now to indict a palpable injury on the commerce of the country ; will be at souse future time of great benefit to the people." The corn laws, then, if the reasoning which we have quoted-, be good for aught, are to be deprecated, because, they " lay impediments in the way of our shipowners, merchants, and manufacturers." The "impediment" created by the corn laws, is only the "impediment" created by all good government—the " impedi ment," in short, which laws are designed to offer, to the ex ercise of free will in any individual or class, when that free will has for its object, the infliction of injury on other individuals or classes. Ship owners, and merchants, and manufacturers are, beyond question, highly important and valuable portions of the community ;—yet, they are, certainly, not more important nor valuable than landowners, and farmers,• and agricultural la bourers—to say nothing, for the present, of manufacturing la bourers, whose well-being is intimately connected with the well being of the population engaged in the cultivation of the soil. The ship-owners, and merchants, and manufacturers, therefore, would have no social nor equitable right (if they entertained the desire) to force upon the community, a commercial system, of which the result must be, the destruction of landowners, the confiscation of farming capital, and the permanent debasement of the whole labouring population, manufacturing as well as agricultural. But our evening contemporary is not warranted in assuming that such a system of policy as it recommends, is in favour with the great body of shipowners, and merchants. and manufacturers. True it is, undoubtedly, that the princi ples of that policy are in high favour with a small class of spe culators, whose enormous capitals enable them to controul the movements of the body of manufacturers and merchants, as well as to give what direction they please to a - portion of our commercial legislation. True it is, moreover, that the prin ciples of commercial policy which find acceptance, also, with the whole mass of idle consumers—with the men, whose means of enjoyment are increased in direct pro portion to the depreciation in value of labour, and of all the products of labour! But the great body of shipowners, merchants, and manufacturers have, we repeat, no interest in the policy which exalts the power of enormous capital; and in creases, beyond the power of calculation, the enjoyments of the idler. That policy has not benefited manufacturers, merchants, or shipowners. It has, on the contrary, lessened their profits, and increased their dependence on the merely moneyed class. Our shipowners are much less prosperous now, than they were before the legislature sanctioned the ruinous scheme of regulat ing the home market, by prices in the markets of other coun tries. Manufactures and merchants also—excepting a small number in the first class—have been fearful losers by the adop tion, even partially, of those economical principles, which de light the sordid soul of Joseph Hume, and the calculators of his school. The interests of English shipowners, of English mer chants and manufacturers are precisely the same in point of fact, with those of the • English farmer. The English manufacturer needs, above all things, a good home market. The English shipowners and merchants need, above all things, a good home market, and a good colonial trade, together with a foreign trade conducted on national principles; that is to say, a foreign trade, confining itself to an exchange of the surplus produce of England for the surplus produce of other countries. The pre sent foreign trade of England, we need scarcely observe, is not such a trade as we have here described. • Our preireurforeign trade can be maintained only by beating down the wages and 'profits of large classes of producers. to the lowest possible point, and, to the extent of that diminution in wages and profits, des troying the home market—of all markets, the most valuable. Then, as to exchanging our surplus products—such process of exchange being the legitimate scope of foreign trade—every year sees a larger portion of the products of native industry be coming " surplus," so far as regards the power of native produ cers to put chase these. Every year which has witnessed an in crease in the amount of our foreign exports, has witnessed, at the same time, a decline in their market value; and that de cline has been, invariably, preceded and caused by (it may be) a decrease in the profits of certain orders of manufacturers— but, certainly, by a decrease in the wages of the manufacturing labourer. In exact proportion to the spread of that trade, in virtue of which Manchester clothes half the world, has been the spread of nakedness amongst the wretched operativ-es in Man chester itself. The shipowners, the merchants, the manufacturers of Eng land, therefore, have, we again state, the same interests to de fend as the English farmer; and these inter e sts are t o b e de- fended by the operation of .the same principles—principles, the reverse of those, which Joseph Flume seeks to inculcate, with an amount of zeal, absolutely disproportioned to the feeble mea= sure of talent, which he and his disciples can bring to bear upon the question. The shipowners of England are entitled to a mo nopoly of the colonial trade of England, as well as of the coast ing trade. The manufacturers of England are entitled to a monopoly of the English market. The farmer, in like manner, is entitled to claim as customers, the manufacturing population of England, together with the men who work her marine. The merchants of England would, under the influence of such a system, find ample and profitable scope for their enterprise in the intercourse between England and her colonies; on the one hand—and, on the other, in bringing into England those ar ticles of commerce which English industry and the English cli mate cannot yield. We have not hesitated to claim for the farmers, the ship owners, the manufacturers, the merchants of England,—and through them, to claim for the agricultural and manufacturing masses—the benefit of a series of "monopolies," because we are never deterred by the influence of a name, not popular, from maintaining a sound principle. of which the unpopular name may happen to be, however imperfectly, representative. But, in simple truth, the "monopolies" in question would consti tute merely an extended system of mutual insurance between shipowners, manufacturers, merchants, and farmers—a system of mutual insurance, in fact, between the various orders of pro ducers—against the destructive schemes of the non-productive , idlers. The free-trade policy has already proved most injurious to our shipowners and manufacturers ; and in injuring these classes, that poli c y h as d ee ply i n j ure d the English farmer. But the extension of the free-trade system directly to the farmer— the repeal of the corn laws—would not repair the mischief al ready inflicted o 4 the manufacturer and shipowner. Quite the reverse. The farmer would, then, become a w. - ase customer to the manufacturer, than the manufacturer has for, a long time, been to the farmer. The misery of 700,000 half-starved hand loom weavers would not be in the slightest degree, alleviated, by the fact, that 1,000,0(X) of agricultural labourers had been rendered no less wretched, by a repeal of the corn laws ! The following passage from the columns of our evening con temporary is not uninstructive:— " It (the corn law) is as clear a case of one class plundering or rubbing another, by means of a law, and God knows such cases are both numerous and flagrant, as is to be found in the whole compass of history. Seeing the influence which country gentlemen and thei r a d vocates h ave h a d over t h e pu b l i c mind by ringing the changes on such fine phrases, as ' protection to native industry," independence of foreigners,' ' native-grown wheat,' &c. we have come to the conclusion. that to argue such a question by decimal fractions, touching prices here and abroad, &c. is a wrong mode of proceeding, and that the only way to get rid of the scoundrel law is to speak.of it plainly as it deserves. Who in his senses, in speaking of robbery, stops to argue its remote advantages; though it is possible that it may not be wholly and altogether without them? Robbery is not in our estimation made one particle less obnoxious or less repug nant to morality by being solemnly decreed by those landown ers who are to profit by it." After such an effusion, the writer need scarcely have taxed his simplicity in the production of the following sentence : "As reasoning and facts are alike wasted on the landowner. we have come to the resolution of speaking of the corn law. only with that indignation which all such nefarious schemes u legislation deserve." There is, however, one assertion of our contemporary, which is really remarkable. " 'The principle of securing home markets to home produc ers' may be an excellent one; but for such °four manufactures, the' cotton for example, which both draws its whole material from foreign countries, and produces a large proportion of its finished work for the fireigu market, it is wholly inapplicable. In truth, native' and 'home,' as applied to our political em pire, to the dominions under the government of the Queen, have no meaniug in commerce and manufactures." We do not enter upon the question of the advantages or dis alvantag,es of our cotton manufacture—although, on that sub ject, certain conclusions most unfavourable to the free policy, might, we think, be yers easily established. We hasten to the concluding sentence—to the statement (which is designed to wear a profound aspect (that " native" and " home" " have no meaning, in commerce and manufactures!" If so. why, let us ask do the whole argnments and calculations of the flee-trade politicians rest upon the differences between "native" and " fo reign" prices, and "native" and'" foreign" means of produc tion ? If "native" and "home" have no meaning in commerce and manufactures—then, the questions of " dearness" and "cheapness" which constitute the sum total of a free trader's confession of faith, are, in like manner, utterly free from the taint of meaning ! EXPORTATION OF GOLD. The entire export of gold . made. and about to be made, to the United States, is said to amount to three Millions. The export by the Bank is easily accounted 'for on the ordinary . principles of business—the Bank is merely doing for itself what the private merchant would otherwise do by its means. Gold pays, or ra ther paid, a commission on export to New York. lie that ex ported gold for the sake of the commission, procured it from the Bank. The Bank exports its own Ohl, and secnres the com mission for itself. What will be the , consequencri of the export ? To revive trade say some. A new impetus will be given to the American market, and England will receive the benefit of it. The mode of giving the impetus is novel, to say the least of it. America sends us cottons, and, instead of payment in goods, America gets payment in cash, which she may bring hack tens, or send elsewhere. A revival of trade, arising 'out of such a process, pretty much resembles the old story of making the pig run west by driving him east. Let us look to the question a little more narrowly. The American banks, after a stoppage unprecedented in. history, are preparing, in obedience to the law, to resume cash payments. The United States Bank is un derstood to he a holder of cottons to an immense amount. The bills of the. United States Bank on the English cotton-brokers will be discounted with English gold. The Bank will return to its legal and customary mode of doing business. its notes will rise to par. A few of the older and stronger banks will be able to follow its example. Those who cannot will at once be declared bankrupt. The only thing that has prevented them from becoming bankrupt hitherto has been the universality of the strike The breaking up of the smaller and weaker banks will give a shock to credit, which the resumption of cash pay ments by the larger and stronger can no wise compensate. The result will be a panic, not a whit less severe than that of last year, with this difference, that the remedy cannot be applied to the relapsed case which was so successful on the original attack. The comparative abundance of the precious metals will entirely confirm the anti-paper party in their errors. The clamour against the gold system was a clamour of the shopocracy, urged on by their sufferings and Nicholas Biddle. Nicholas has now an adverse interest. His influence and the distress will be found pulling different ways. The text tide of mercantile agi tation will probably be a neap. Van Buren will be confirmed in his metallic theory;, its enemies will be powerless. The two countries, instead of working together for mutual enlightenment, will only sink into each other'S pernicious example. The dis ease, which is now acute, will become chronic; the distress, which is now transitory, Will become fixed. ,Only a general breaking up and reconsiruction of the elements. of society can, in such a case, be looked forward to, as affording the chance of a cure—a chance which, we believe, the great masses of Eng land are by no mea ns di s posed to hazard.—Birmingloim Jo u rnal, HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY'S ARCTIC DISCOVERY EXPEDITION. • I 'rise lively interest *hieh the British public have for such a length of time manifested in the fa 'thee (.lisoovery of the Arctic regions, induced the Hudson's 13,1 y Comp‘ly to d••termiiie 11 LI equipping an expedition, solely at their oa n expense, and com posed of their own officers and servants, with the view of en deavouriug to complete the survey of the northern shores of the American continent. The formation and equipment of the expedition were entrust ed to . Mr. Simpson, the resident governor, in the spring of 1836. That genteman, on his arrival front England at Norway-house, Lake Winnipeg, in the month of June in the same year, beat up for volunteers for this arduous service. Two active and en terprising leaders, Messrs. P. W. Deese and Thomas Simpson, and twelve men, were immediately selected and forwarded with the necessary supplies to Fort Chipewayau, Athabasca Lake where they passed the winter of 1836-7. Immediately after the opening of the nav i ga ti on on t h e I st o f J une , 18 - 37, the party started from Fort Chipewayan in two small boats, which they had constructed in the course of the winter, descended the Stave River, passed the western end of Great Slave Lake, where they were detained several days by ice, and descended Mackenzie's River to Fort Norman, where they arrived on the ht of July. From Fort Norman they despatched two of their party, with two other men belonging to Fort Norman, to the eastern end of Great Bear's Lake, for the purpose of erecting a small establishment at which they might take up their quarters for the following winter, and of laying up a stock of provisions preparatory to an extension of their survey in the summer of 1838. These arrangements being made, Messrs. Deese and Simpson, with the remainder of their people, form ing a party of twelve in all, continued their route down the Mackenzie, and reached Fort Good Hope, the most northern establishment belonging to the company on the 4th, where they found an assemblage of Hare and Laucheoux Indians, from whom they learned that the Esquimaux had killed three of their party a short time previous, which prevented the discoverers taking an interpreter from that tribe. On the 9th of July, they reached the ocean by the most westerly mouth of the 'Mackenzie, making its situation in lat. 68'deg. 49 min. 23 sec. N., long. 136 deg. 45 sec. W. They bad proceeded but a short distance seaward *hen a party of nineteen Esquimaux went off to them from 'Tent Island, who showed a disposition to be., troublesome, but returned to their encampment when they found the party prepared to defend ' themselves if necessary. The progresS of the party'aiong the coast was very slow, owing to frequent obstructions from ice, cold, dense fogs, and strong head-winds. On the afternoon of the 17th they reached Point Kay, where they found another encampment of Esquimaux, and where they were detained by a compact body of ice, occupying; Phillip's Bay until the 14th. They continued their 'route till the 17th. when an unbroken pack of ice, extending to seaward, made them seek the shore in Camden Bay, near a large camp of Esquima,ux, who received them kindly. In the afternoon'there appeased a narrow passage of water through• the ice, stretching outwards, and they immediately embarked, but had not proceeded above three miles ftpna the land when the ice suddenly closed upon them, squeezing one of their boats, Which, with their provisions and baggage, they had much difficulty in saving; and, by means of portages from one piece of ice to the other, the oars serving as bridges, they finally' got on it large floe, where they passed an inclement and anxious night. On . the 20th, they reached Foggy Island Bay, when they were stopped by ice and a violeut northeast Wind until' the 23rd, having on the preceding day made an ineffectual attempt to weather Point Anxiety. in Which they narrowly escaped with . a thorough drenching. The latitude ashore was 70 deg. 9 min. 48 sec. 'From this situation they had the satisfaction of discovering a range of the' Rocky Mountains to the westward of the Romanzoff chain, and not seen by Sir John Franklin, but being within the limit of his survey, called it the Franklin Range, as a just tribute to his character and merits. That evening they reached Sir John Franklin's Return Reef, where their survey commenced, that officer having got no further. 'Return Reef is one of a chain of reefs which run for twenty miles parallel to the coast, at the distance of about half a league, affording sufficient water within for their small craft. The mainland is very low. From Point • Berens* to Cape Halkett it forms Harrison's Bay, fifty miles broad, by about a third of that distance in depth. At the bottom of this bay another picturesque branch of the Rocky Mountains Range rears its lofty peaks above these fiat shores, which they named Pellv's Mountains, in honour of the governor of the company. At their base flows Colville's River, two miles broad at its mouth, to the south-west of which stands Cape Halkett, where they were detained by a north-east gale the whole of the following Wiy. The country extending to the foot of the moun tains appeared to consist of plains covered with short grass and moss, a favourite resort of reindeer, of which they saw numerous herds. Observations were obtained determining Cape . Halkett to be in lat. 70 deg. 53 min. N., long. 152 deg. 14 min. W; the variation of the compass 43 deg.. 8 min. 33 sec. E. Next morning, 26th July, they passed the Gany, a river about one mile broad. From Cape llalkett the coast turned suddenly off to the W.N.W. ' It presented to the eye nothing but a succession of low banks of frozen mud. In the evening they passed the mouths of a large stream, which they named. Smith's River. • From thence for about nine miles the coast line is formed of 'gravel reefs, near the extremity of which, at Point Pitt, the land trends more to the westward. Here they were detained by ice until the following afternoon, (27,) when an opening pre senting itself, they resumed their route. It blew a cutting blast from the north-east, and the salt water froze upon the oars and rigging. Point Drew, seven miles distant from their last en campine.nt, is the .commencement of a bey of considerable size, but extremely shallow, and much encumbered with ice. To seaward the ice was stilt smooth and solid, as in the depth of a sunless winter. At midnight they reached a narrow projecting point, across which the peaks of some high icebergs appeared. This point they named Cape George Simpson, as a marke of respect for the governor of the company's territories, to whose excellent arrangements the success of the expedition is in a grew measure indebted. This point was destined to be the limit of their boat naviga tion, for during the four following days they were only able to advance as many miles. The we a th er was f oggy and -dismally cold, the wild fowl passed in long flights to the westward, and there seemed little prospect of their being able to reach Beeehey's Point Barrow by water. Boat Extreme is situated in lat. 71 deg. 3 min. 24 sec. N., long. 154 deg. 26 min. 30 sec. W., varia tion of compass 42 deg. 36 min. IS see. E. Under these circumstances Mr. Thomas Simpson undertook to complete the journey on foot, and accordingly started on the Ist of August with five men, Mr. Pease and other five men re maining in charge of the boats. , . The' pedestrians carried w ith th e m their arms, some ammu nition, pemican, a small oiled canvas canoe for crossing the ri vers, the necessary astronomical instruments, and a few trin kets for the 'natives. It was one of the worst days of the whole season. and the fog ' was so dense that the party were under the necessity of rigidly following the tortuous outline of the coast, which for 20 miles formed a sort of irregular inland bay, (being guarded without by a series of gravel reefs,) the shore of which was almost on a level with the water, and intersected by innumerable salt creeks, through which they waded, besides three considerable rivers which they traversed in their portable canoe. Neat day the weather improved, and at noon Mr. Simpson had an observation for lat. in 71 deg. 9 min. 45 sec. The land now 'inclined to the south-west, and continued very low and muddy, and, as on the preceding day, abounded in salt creeks, whose waters were at the freezing temperature. The party had proceeded about ten miles, when, to their dismay, the coast suddenly turned off to the southward, forming an inlet as far as the eye could reach. At the same moment they descried at no great distance a small camp orEsquiniaux, to which they immediately directed their steps. The men were absent hunting, and the women and children took to their boats in the greatest alarm, leaving be hind them an infirm man, who was in an agony of fear. A few words of friendship removed his apprehension s' and brought back the fugitives, who were equally surprised and delighted to behold white men. They set before the party fresh reindeer meat and seal oil. Mr. Simpson now determined to adopt a more expeditious mode of travelling, by obtaining the loan of their " oomiaks," or family skin canoes, to convey the party to Point Barrow, with which, from a chart drawn by one of the women, it ap peared these people were well acquainted. Fthir oars were fitted With lashings to this strange craft. Be . - fore starting the bunters arrived, and p resen t s o f t o b acco , aw l s , buttons, &c. were made to all the inmates o f th e encam p men t, with which they were highly gratified. Deese's inlet is five miles broad at'this place, yet so lowis the land that the one shore is ju s t vi s ible f rom the other in the clearest weather. It now again blew strongly from the north east, bringing back the cold dense fog; but the 'traverse was effected by the aid of the compass. The waves ran high, and the skin-boat surmounted them with great buoyancy. The party encamped on the west side of the inlet. The banks there were of frozen mud, ten or twelve feet high; the country within Was perfectly flat, abounded in snaalllakes, and produced a very short grass;' but nowhere had the thaw penetrated more than two inches beneath the surface, while under water along the shore the bottom was still impenetrably frozen. Not a log of wood was to be found in this land of deSolation ; 'but our party followed the example of the natives, and made their fire of the roots of the dwarf willoW in a' little chimney of turf. Next morning (August 3) the fog cleared for ahwile, but it. was still bitterly cold, and the swell beat violently on the outside of a heavy line of ice which lay packed upon the shore. To weather this was a work o f d a n ger ; b u t th e goo d qua liti e s of their boat, after a severe trial, carried them safely through. The land ran out for five miles to the northward, then turned off to the N.W.. beyond which, at Point Christie, the lat. 71 'deg. 12 min. 36 sec. was observed. From thence the coast 'trended more westerly for ten miles, forming two points and a bay, which Mr. Simpson named after the chief factors Charles and Rowland, and chief trader 'Loss. The party then came up to what appeared a large bay, where they halted for two orthree hours to await the dispersion of the fog, n.t knowing which Way to steer. In the evening their wish was gratified, and the wea 'tiler from that time was sensibly ameliorated. The hay was now ascertained to be only four miles in width ; the depth half way across was Ia fathom, on a bottom of sand; thatof Dease's Inlet was afterwards found to be two fathoms, muddy bottom, being the greatest depth between Return Reef and Point Bar roW, except at ten miles S.F. from Cape Ilalket, where three fathoms We're sounded 'on their return. After crossing NI 'Ken iies Bay, the coast again trended fo r e i g ht or n i ne m il es to t h e N.N.V. A cOmPaCt body of ice extended all along. and be yond the reach of vision to seaward; but the party ca r ried th e i r light vessel within that foiroidable barrier, and made their way through the narrow channels close to the shore. At midnight they passed the Mouth of a fine deep river, a quarter of a mile Wide, to which Mr. Simpson gave the nameof the Bellevue, and in less than an hour afterwards the rising sun gratified him with the view of Point Barrow stretching out to the N.N.W. They soon crossed Elson Bay, which, in the Per fect calm, had acquired a tough coating of young ice, but had much difficulty in making their way through a broad and heavy pack that rested upon the shore. -On reaching it, and seeing the ocean extending away to the southward, they hoisted their flag, and with three cheers took possession of their discove r ies in her Majesty's name. Point Barrow is a long low spit, composed of gravel and coarse sand, which the pressure of the ice has forced up into nu merous mounds, that, viewed from a distance, assume the ap pearance of huge boulder rocks. At the spot where the party lauded, it is only a quarter of a mile across, but is broader to- wards its termination. The first object that presented itself, on looking round the landing place, was an immense cemetery. The bodies lay exposed in the most horrible and disgusting manner, and many of them appeared so fresh that the men became alarmed that the cholera, or some other dreadful dise ase , was raging among the natives,„ Two considerable ca m p s o f t h e _ latter stood' at no great di4t)lice on the' point, hut none of tha inmates ventured to approach till our party first visited them, and, with the customary expressions of friendship, dissipated their apprehensions. A brisk traffic then began, after which the women formed a circle, and danced to a variety of airs, some of which were pleasing to the ear. The whole conduct of these people was friendly in the extreme; they seemed to be well acquainted with the character, if not the persons, of white men ; and were pas sionately fond of tobacco. • To the northward enormous icebergs covered the ocean; but *The different rivers, capes, and other remarkable objects between Franklin's Return Rcef and Beechey's Cripe.Borrow, were named.hy Messrs. Dease and Simpson after the governor and directors of the Hudson's Bay Company, and other gentle men connected with the fur trade. 'on the western side there was a fine open channel, which the Esquitnaux assured the party extended all along to the south ward, and so inviting was the prospect in that Airection that, had such been his object, Mt. Simpson would not have hesitated a moment to prosecute the vovage to Cook's Inlet in his skin canoe. The natives informed him that whales were numerous to the northward of the point, and seals were everywhere-sport ing among the ice. . , It was high water between one and two o'clock a m. and p.m., the rise of the tide was 14 inches, and the flow came from the westward. Observations were obtained which determine the position of the landing-place to be in lat. 71 de. 23 min 33 sec. N., long. 156 deg. 20 min 0 sec. W. agreeing closely with the observations of Mr. Ei s oo. Th en , bidding adieu to their good humoured and admiring entertainers, the party set out on their return. They reached the western mouth of the Mackenzie on the 17th of August, and Fort Norman on the 4th of September, from whence their report is dated on the following day. From Fort Norman they were about to proceed to the eastern end of Great Bear',s Lake; there to pass the winter, from thence haul their boats across to the Coppermine River, and resume their survey to the eastward at the opening of the navigation in July next, with the view of connecting the discoveries of Sir John Franklin and Captain Back from Point, Turnagain to Great Fish River, in whi c h, f rom th e ac ti v ity and perseverance of the leaders, it is confidently hoped they will be successful. It is a fact not generally known that Benedict, the composer of the new opera at. Drury-lane, was a pupil of Weber at the time he wrote "Der Frieschutz." THE NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERY.—The banks of Newfound land may be regarded as one of the wonders of the world; in fact they are curses or vast alluvial tracts on the bre,st of the ocean, which allow man to reap without the trouble of sowing, and most amazing are the 'finny harvests they yield. The fish caught on these banks finds its way to the most distant parts of the earth—thanks to the valuable condiment salt, and the humane policy that rendered it almost as cheap as water, and• applicable even as seasoning to the food of cattle. In the year 1830 nearly a million quintals of dried cod fish were exported from Newfoundland, and in 1833 about half the number of casks filled with seal skins. In addition to these articles there were considerable exports of cod and seal oil, staves, salted salmon, herrings, mackerel, tongues, sounds and caplins, the last a fish so multitudinous that it actually colours the waters when it arrives on the coast. The total annual value of the Newfoundland trade may be estimated in round numbers at two millions sterling. But this is merely the British portion of the traffic, forthe French and Americans also cure to an immense extent, and have not been backward in profiting by the advan tages so impoliticly, granted to them . in 1814. During the night the former fish in-shore, contrary to the rules of honour and good faith, while the latter du much injury by throwing the offal of all fish they take back into the sea from whence it came. The Newfoundland coil is the finest in the world ; the head is smaller, and the flesh is firmer than the species which frequent our own shores, not excepting the rock kind, and when eaten inthe fresh state, nothing can be more delicate, not even the salmon, sole; or the celebrated white bait, so much prized by the members of the municipality of London. nu, LIVERPOOL STANDARD. ,9.

Since our last there has been a considerable- improvement in the deMand. The sales yesterday were 8,100 bags, and to-day they amount to 6,000 ; in the two days 1,500 have been taken on specula tion, and 500 for export. Prices are id id - higher than on Friday lair, LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE, APRIL 24. During the past week the imports of Grain, Flour and Oatmeal from Ireland and Coastways have been to a very moderate extent, in some degree owing to easterly winds, and the sales of every article in the trade have been very limited at about our last quotations, except for inferior and middling descriptions of Irish Wheat, on which a decline of Id a2d per 701bs has been submitted to. In the Yorkshire markets of the past week, and at Manchester on Saturday, there was rather more firmness in the trade, and prices of the preceding week were fully supported. The duty on Wheat from Foreign ports is this week decreased is per qr. and lid per barrel on Flour ; on Pease it is increased is 6d per qr. on other Grain no alteration. We can note no transaction in bonded Grain or Flour since our last, nor any alteration in the general quota tions. At this day's market there was a better demand forW heat and Flour,' and on superior qualities of the former an advance of 2d per 7Clifs, and of 6,1 to Is per 2801bs on the latter was obtained Oats and Oat meal were also in more demand, at fully last quoted prices for the 'former, and although last quotations were also pretty firmly demanded for the latter, some large sales thereof Were "na s ty ut so 33 per 11101ba being a small decline of all other articles sales were very limited, at no variation in last quotations.

The feiv samples,' of . rt.trilly fine Wheat It market sup ported the prices of Monday, but the inferior sorts met with littie at tention. In consequence of the' werrtherhaving' again become cold, there was some inquiry for Alaltirre.Barlg, and the choicest sampl es obtained somewh at hi t h er prices. 'Diidiiiing"and Grinding Barley was also quite as dear. The O a t tra d e was ' extreme ly firM, .sPcl our deale rs having shown some di spos i t i on to purc h ase e n a bled f ac t ors to clear their vessels comin g on d emurrage at p r i ces f u lly equal to last we e k' s quotations. There were but few_ Beans and Peas on . sale, and each article reapily supported' previous rates. The demand for Cloverseed having a)most entirely subsided, has induce , l those who have any to sell to siihmit to a further reduction of from `‘,'S to 3s per cwt.
