Tamworth, a highly respectable meeting of the inhabitants of ' that borough and its neighbourhood was held atthe Town-hall, for the purpose of expressing their opinion of the projected • railway from Bi rm i ng h am t o D er b y, pass i ng th roug h rr anworth and Burton-on-Trent. - The members for the borough, the right hon. Sir Robert Peel and the right hon. William Yates Peel, and many of the neighbouring landowners were also pre ' sent; and a deputation from the directors of the rail Way com pany, consisting of Henry Smith, Joseph Walker, and William Beale, Esqrs., attended from Birmingham. Thomas Braman, Esq., bailiff, having been called to the chair, stated, that in consequence of a requisition which he held in his hand, signed by many of the most respectable inhabitants of the town, and wishing to accede to their desires, the bailiffs had called this ateeting, to consider the advantages which might accrue to the town and neighbourhood of Tamworth from the projected railway, he should therefore merely read the requisi tion; and not trespass further on their time, knowing, as he did, that there were many gentlemen at the meeting more compe tent to give information upon the subject than he was. Fleury Smith, Esq. and William Beale, Esq., who formed part ora deputation from Birmingham, severally entered on an , explanation of the objects of the proposed undertaking. The right hon. Sir Robert Peel then rose, and spoke to the following effect :—Mr. Bailiff and gentlemen, I attend this meeting with great satisfaction, not only as your representative in parliament, b u t a l so as an individual deeply interested in the prosperity of this town and neighbourhood. In moving the re solution I hold in my lima, I must, with Air. Smith, disclaim any intention to dictate to you the views you should take with reference to this subject. I move it in order that every gentle man present may form his own unbiassed opinion, and that . a • question which i s so i n t eres ti ng t o a ll o f us may b e opened to ' a full and tree discussion; and I hope that any gentleman who may wish for explanation or information regarding the proposed railway will avail himself of this opportunity to acquire it; and if he entertain an} doubt upon the proptiety of the undertaking, will express it, in order that, if it can be It may be cleared up by the gentlemen who - attend here from Birmingham upon this occasion.. 1 shall tirst read the resolution, by the moving of which, I shall conclune my observation's. !The riglit honour able baronet here read the resolution.] This resolution, gen tlemen, von will perceive, affirms two propositions, Ist. That the projected railsvi y will be conducive to the general welfare of thecountry ; and 2dly, That it *la , tend to the local interests and prosperity of this town and neighbourhood. Gentlemen, you are far too enlightened to render it necessary for me to say anything. as to the great utility, nay, the vast importance, of having throughout the kingdoiu a cheap and rapid mode of com munication. Ido not hesitate to avow myself favourable to the principle of communications by railways, and on all occasions I shall give my cordial support to such tonlertaktiigs, provided I am satisfied they will succeed as speculations, and prove a pro fitable investment of capital to their projectors. It is no re flection on the parties who have originated the undertaking, that their main or primary object is their own individual profit, for it is only by individual gain that the ge n e ra l i n t eres t is advanced ; and unless it can be proved to tie that the views of profitable investment with which this undertaking is coin ' nienced will be realised, any doubts I might entertain of its site , cess would beanaterially increased; for in order that it should succeed as a general measure, it must be shown to be profitable to its promoters. 1 ion, gentlemen, favourable to such under takings, because I believe that our commercial interests are best promoted by a rapid communication, which will, as it were, bring together remote parts of the empire, and unite all our great commercial towns and agricultural districts. It is abso lutely essential, in order to maintain our commercial superiority over the rest of the world, that the most favourable means of transit through the country should be adopted ; for we are now in a perfectly different position froia that in which we were during the late war. At that period, nearly all the neighbour ing countries were the scenes of welfare, and their inhabitants were consequently precluded from competing with us in com mercial pursuits. We had also a powerful maritime force, by which we commanded the seas, and hence we enjoyed a mono poly of trade and. manufactures in the markets of the world. Duthie' the war which ravaged Europe front 1793 to 1815, we had a monopoly, hot only of the trade and commerce of Europe but of nearly the whole of the globe. Peace happily succeeded, and has since prevailed, and other countries are now, and have been for some years past, directing their energies to the im provement and cultivation of their atautifactures and internal resources; in fact, so rapid has been their progress that they now compete with us in nearly every branch of manufacturing industry and commercial enterprise ; and it is my opinion that it will be impossible to maintain our superiority and struggle successfully against this powerful competition sinless we exert all our energies to bring into operation every improventent which skill and intelligence can devise. 'We must not, gentle men, close our eyes to the fact that railways are now being established on the continent, and that they exist to a great ex tent in the United States of America. gur can we by any means prevent our artisans and our capital front leaving the country, nor our machinery from beingexported, if there should appear elsewhere a fairer prospect of profitable employment. I think, therefore, that we are bound to encourage these under takings in every part of England, whenever we have rational grounds for believing they will succeed. I cannot doubt it is for the general interest of the country that they should be estab lished. If by a railway communication the journey front Lon don to Birmingham can be performed bs a merchant or manu facturer in five hours instead of thirteen, thereby enabling him to go to London, transact his business, and return the same day, the great advantages arising front so rapid a communication must be obvious. Again, whatever improvement in communi cation will enable the poor man, in the present state of the poor laws, to carry his labour, perhaps the only valuable property he possesses, to the best market, and where it is most wanted, must be a decided advantage, not only to him, but to the com munity at large ; and it is of great importance that these lines of railway be laid down with a view to the general interests o the country. It appears, ther e f ore , t o me, that it of the ut most importance to this country—that it is, in fact, indispensa bly necessary to the maintenance of its present eminence and superiority, that such undertakings should be encouraged. So much for the bearing of the subject upon the general question. I shall now draw your attention snore particularly to the effect tof the line under discussion upon the interests of this town and neighbourhood. I hold in my hand a map, showing the line of railway front London to Birmingham, and front Birmingham to Liverpool. It comprehends also most of the large towns in the West Riding of Yorkshire, and comprises, in addition, also, Hull, Gloucester, and the country lying between these various places. Then, gentlemen. you are probably aware that a rail way is now in process of execution between London and Bir mingham, which will probably be opened to the public in about three years; there is also one in execution between Liverpool and Birmingham, which will be completed in about two years. Thus, acts of the legislature have already passed which will make Birmingham the centre of communication between Lon don, Liverpool, Manchester, and other great manufacturing and commercial districts. There are also bills in contemplation for other lines of railway which have not as yet received, but which will, in all probability, have the sanction of the legislature in the next session of parliament. One of these, for which notice has been given, is to unite Derby with Leeds; and this rail way will immediately pass through, or touch upon, the following places:—Chesterfield, with a population of 10,000; Sheffield, 91,000; Barnsley, I 0,000; Htiddersfield, 31,000; Halifax, 109,000; Leeds,. 123,(X)0; Wakefield, 21,000; and I ant given to understand that this railway has received very general encou raeemement, and that th ere is no probability of any very con siderable, and cert a i n ly no successful, opposition to it • and we may . , therefore, take iefor granted that, in the course of nest session of parliament, an act will be obtained for uniting Leeds with Derby by railway communication. - There is also another line proposed, to unite Birmingham stud Gloucester. At the close, therefore, of the next session of parliament we shall probably stand thus. Besides the lines of railway front London to Liverpool thro' Birmingham, there will be a direct line between Birmingham and Gloucester, effecting a direct coninumication to the port of Bristol, and, through it, to the West Indies. We shall also find a line connecting Derby with Leeds. Supposing this to be the case, I think, gentlemen, under such circumstances, you cannot entertain a doubt, when you consider the wealth, intel ligence, and commercial enterprize of the people of Yorkshire and the North, that the', will by some means or other, effect a commlinication with Birmingham and its important adjacent districts, as well as the ether parts of the kingdom, by an union of these great lines. The question, therefore, is, in what man ner that union is to be effected. The gentleman present, who attend front Birmingham on this occasion, propose to accom plish it by uniting Derby with Birmingham by a railway pass ing through or near Burton-upon-Trent and rantworth. The proposal is, .as I apprehend it, that the railway shall pass from Derby to Nether Whitacre, by way of Burton and '1 antworth, in one continued line, and that it shall there diverge, one line leading to Birmingham, by way of Yardley, and the other uniting with the London and Birmingham Railyway, at or near Hampton-in-Arden. Now, gentlemen, I presume it to be the general opinion of this meeting, that to such a proposition, sup posing these to be the best lines for effecting the objects con templated, we ought to give .our assent and support. It cer tainty appeals so me, opus! a cursors - examination of this - mil), that. it is by Tantwoith that a line fiorn Birmingham to Derby should run. It is in a direct line between the two places, and not only so, but I apprehend that, on account of the vallies and the natural levels of the country, it will be found that this line can he executed at considerably less expense than any other. In all probability in regard to distance, a shorter line to Lon don from Derby might be devised, and it is probable that other proposals will be made for conn e ctin g Derby with Loudon by way of Nottingham and Leicester. Supposing this to be the case, it can in no way affect the line between Derby and Bir mingham. There call be no doubt that the population of York shire and the North, in conjunction with the other interests concerned, would insist upon a more direct communication with Birmingham and the West of England, than could be offered by way of Nottingham and Leicester. It is also to he observed, that when this line reaches• Nether Whitacre, it arrives within seven miles and a half of the London and Birmingham Rail way at Hampton-in-Arden ; and I have, therefore, (said the right hon. hart.) little doubt that a inaction with it will be ef fected near that place. l also think that it will be a great ad vantage to this town and neighbourhood, that such a junc tion should be effected, and that we should by no means limit the advantages to be gained by us from this railway to Birming ham alone, but that we ought also to have a direct commuuica tion with London. My hope is, that this will be effected, and that this railway will not only connect us with Birmingham, but also with the London and Birmingham Railway, by uniting with it at some point near Hampton-in-Arden. Gentlemen, I state to yon freely my belief is, that this undertaking is likely to suc ceed, but it would have beers more satisfactory to me to have had longer time to have considered of it, and to have seen the calculations upon which its success depends. I did not see the plan of this railway till about six weeks ago, and I am now speaking without any accurate details, but arguing from a ge neral impression, and a strong opinion I have in favour of rail ways generally; and looking at the great interests con cerned between Leeds and Gloucester, I am inclined to think that it will succeed, and that it will meet with the encouragement of Parliament; but I will reserve to myself, and I recommend you to reserve also, a final decision until you see the calculations which are essential to it. Gentlemen, I most cordially hope this project will succeed; I shall give it my assent as a landed proprietor, and I shall support it in my place in parliament, for it does not appear to me to be one of those speculations with which at present the newspapers so much abound. As re gards the local interests of Tamworth, we have the best guarantee in the character of the gentlemen who are conduct ing the undertaking ; they are persuaded that this is the line which will be of most advantage to Birmingham, and which can beeffected at the least expense, and I confess that what I have heard from Mr. Smith still more recommends it to me. I tell these gentlemen we feel deeply interested in the welfare and prosperity of Birmingham ; it is the great metropolis near which we live, and there is nothing which can tend to produce an increased demand for Birmingham manufactures, and pro mote the welfare of Birmingham, which must not, at the same time, prove advantageous to us, and increase the prosperity of Tainworth. If we can establish this proposed communication with Birmingham, it will bring us within half an hour of each other, and promote the mutual good understanding and sym paty which exists between us. I have now, gentlemen, stated to you the reasons which will induce me to give my assistance to this measure, and I a g ain re p ea t, th a t it is my intention to give to it my strenuous support. Ido so, believing it will con-. duce to the prosperityof this town and neighbourhood, in which I take the deepest interest. Mr. Smith has justly remarked that Birmingham has risen to importance from its central posi tion, and from the means of communication which it possesses with other large and important districts, and I hope the gentle men who originated and who will have to carry this railway into execution, will perceive that the interest we take in it must depend upon the facilities afforded us in making use of it as a direct communication from this town. The advantages of railways do not consist so much in the carriage of heavy goods, as in the conveyance of passengers and of the lighter articles of mannfacture, in which they are of infinite importance. If, therefore, we are to have a railway pass through Tamworth, and the only advantage we are to derive from it is to be the pleasure of seeing passengers comfortably travelling along it at the rate of thirty.miles an hour; the benefit to us, indeed, will be but very small, not mu c h grea t er th an we should derive from seeing a balloon pass over our heads, therefore, when we say we are willing to support this line of railway, it is with this necessary reserve—that the originators of it shall do every thing that is in their power for the benefit and convenience of this town and neighbourhood, and with the understanding that we are to have a station at Tainworth. Where it may be, cannot now be determined, but I hope it will be in the most advantage ous place for the inhabitants, without regard to any personal considerations. I trust a committee will be appointed to confer with the undertakers of the measure, and after the fullest dis cussion and mature consideration, I hope that situation will be adopted which will give the greatest facility for convenience to the inhabitants of Tainworth and the surrounding places. I hope, also, the interests of the agriculturists of the neighbour hood will be consulted. I know we shall derive advantage from having a rapid transit to the Birmingham market, by which we can, in half an hour perhaps, deliver our provisions in that town; but these advantages will materially depend upon the facilities afforded to the farmers to get their produce upon the line of railway, and although I ant aware great inconvenience would arise from a multiplication of the principal stations, I hope subordinate stations will be made on the line for the purpose of effecting this object, without obliging the farmers to carry their produce any long distances to .he station-houses. I am aware that doubts have been expressed by the agriculturists with res pect to the advantages of railroads to them, but I confess I do not share in these doubts; I do not think we can do better for the agriculturists than to open for them new markets by the pro posed communications with the large towns. It is thought by some there will not be so gre a t a d eman d f or h orses, and that, consequently, a decrease in the consumption of corn will ensue. Isi my opinion, theie apprehensions need not be entertained. The same objections were felt with respect to the canals, when the) were originated, but they have proved groundless. The general prosperity of the country will be increased by railways, as it has been by canals, and, consequently, there will be a ge neral increase of traffic, and the demand for horses will not, on the whole, be decreased; of course, on the present main lines of coach travelling, fewer coaches may be e m pl oye d , b u t t h e traffic in lateral directions will be increased by the general im provement. When it was proposed in the Himse of Commons to have a steam boat between London and Calais, the inn keepers on the line of road, between London and Dover, feared they would be ruined, and petitioned against the mea sure, but every one knows that since the establishment of steam-boats, there sea far greater traffic on that road than there was before: such will, I believe, be the case with railways. In my opinion, railways will increase in number, and with them not only the prosperity of the manufacturing but also the agri cultural interests. I shall conclude by proposing the resolu tion. I propose it with a view to promote discussion, because before you give your consent to this project, the originators of which admit it will be of advantage to the town of Birmingham, and beneficial to themselves, I wish you to snake the best terms you can for the benefit of this place. There is one other sub ject, to which I will call your attention. The conveninis of this meeting by the municipal authorities of this to wn , i s the last act which they will have ,to perform in their corporate capacity, the period having now 'rrived at which we come under the opera tion of the new corporation act. I hope you will all cordially join with me in regarding this, their last act, as one calculated to promote the prosperity of this town and neighbourhood, and as gracing their retirement from an office of which they have zealously and faithfully performed the duties. The right hon. baronet concluded a speeds which was listened to with the deepest attention, by moving the resolution, which appears elsewhere. Mr. Parsons, jun. and the Right Hon. Wm. Peel, M.P. then addressed the meeting, after which a committee was ap pointed to forward the objects of the meeting. THE NORTH MIDLAND AND BIRMINGHAM AND DERBY JUNCTION RAILWAY. PUBLIC MEETING AT THE TOWN-HALL, DERBY. On Wednesday last, in pursuance of a requisition to R. W. Haden, Esq., mayor, most respectably signed, a public meeting of the inhabitants of Derby was held at the Town-hall, for the purpose of considering the advantages to be derived from the formation of a line of railway front Leeds to Derby, and from Derby to Biriiiiughani., Nearly every indi v id ua l o f any com mercial importance in the town was present; and inflUential deputations, from other places on the proposed line of railway, attended. The Derby and Birmingham Railway Company was represented by Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart., M.P., Henry Smith, Joseph Walker, and William Beale, Esqrs.; Sir John Fowler and Samuel Allsopp, Esq., appeared for the inhabitants of Bur ton-on-Trent; and 'Tomas Braniall, Win. Parsons, and T. B. Stevens. Esqrs., for those of Tainworth. Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart., M.P., one of the committee of the Birmingham and Derby railway, in, addressing the meeting, stated, in very forcible terms, the great advantages which would arise from the formation of the proposed line of railway. It might be said that the several projected railways would render Derby the grand artery for communication between the eastern end western coasts of England; and, if they met with the con currence of the meeting, the means of intercourse would be established between Hull aud the West Riding of Yoikshire, and Birmingham, the great manufacturing districts of Stafford shire, and Loudon, and the western side of the kingdom. It would be an act of supererogation in him to attempt to prove the many and important advantages which such a connected communication would coiifer upon Derby, a town of such rising commercial consequence; and, with regard to the line of road from Derby to Birmingham, he would say that there was not one in the country whim presented fewer difficulties than itdid. Its natural advantages were unusually great, being nearly a dead level all the way—not requiring the formation of any tun nel, and, though passingover three rivers, the. Dove, the Trent, and the Tame, yet offering no inconvenience in effeeting that object. No country could be better adapted for the pro posed purpose than this was. Other plans might be pointed out, but he would say that none could promise so many advan tages of commuuication with the metropolis as the one now under consideration; fur it was most important that Birming ham should not be omitted. The two towns of Burton and Tainworth were of considerable importance, and isn these towns there was but one feeling in reference to the scheme. He (Sir Oswald , Mosley) was interested in every thing relating to Der by, and should be the last man to recommend any plan of detri ment to its interest ; but when he saw a project attended in its execution with so many facilities he felt that he should not be doing his duty if he did not strenuously call upon the inhabi tants for their support. The line would go direct to Birming ham, but persons travelling to the metropolis would proceed thither by a branch line which, avoiding Birmingham, would join the London and Birmingham railway near Stonebyidge. The committee did not come to the meeting in the spirit of hostility to any other company, but simply to show that the line they proposed was indisputably superior in every respect to any which might be pointed out. Indeed, so clearly did its pe culiar advantages, both as to the traffic expected and the ex pense of formation, appear to him, that he should have been ashamed of himself had he not come forward. to bear his testi molly in its favour.—The hon. baronet was warmly cheered on resuming his seat.

The following exquisite Verses, which need no comment at our hands, are by one of the most distinguished of England's Bards—one of her best and most loyal subjects—the poet Yirordsworth. EXTEMPORE EFFUSION, UPON READING THE NOTICE OF VIE DEATH OF THE POET, JAMES - HOOO. When First, descending from the Moorlands, I saw the stream of Yarrow glide Along a bare and open Valley, The Ettrick Shepherd was my guide. When last along its hankS I wandered, Thro' groves that had begun to shed Their golden leaves upon the pathways, My steps the Border Minstrel led. The mighty Minstrel breathes no longer, 'Mid mouldering ruins low he lies; And death upon the Braes of Yarrow Has closed the Shepherd poet's eyes; Nor has the rolling Year twice measured, Fruit sign to si t u his steadfast course, Since every Mortal Power of Coleridge Was frozen at its inarvellous source ; The rapt One of the Godlike forehead, The heaven-eyed Creat ure s l eeps in earth; And Lamb, the frolic and the gentle, Has vanished from his lonely hearth. Like clouds that rake the mountain-summits, Or waves that own no curbing hand. How fast has - Brother followed Brother Prom sunshine to the sunless land ! Yet I, whose lids from infant slumbers- Were earlier raised, remain to hear A timid voice, that asks in whispers, " Who net will drop and disappear ?" Our haughty life is crowned with darkness, Like London with its own black wreath, On which, with thee, 0 Crabbe,. forth-looking I gazed from Hampstead's breezy heath; As if but yesterday departed, Thou too art gone before ; yet why For ripe fruit seasonably gathered Should frail survivors heave a sigh ? No inure of old romantic sorrows For slaughtered Youth and love-lorn Maid, With sharper grief is Yarrow smitten, And Ettrick mourns with her their Shepherd dead ! Rydal Mount, N0v.30, 1835. WounswoaTu. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A FEMALE CONVICT IN NEWGATE. —On Wednesday evening an inquest was held in the committee room of Newgate, before Mr. Payne, on view of the body of Harriet Knowles, aged 24, a convict in the above prison, who was said to have died of a broken heart. Mr. M. Murdock, surgeon to the prison, deposed that the deceased was admitted into the infirmary immediately after her trial and conviction at the Central Criminal Court, on the sth of November last. She was labouring under violent mental anguish, caused, no doubt, by her unhappy situation. She wept day and night, obtaining no rest, and refusing all sustenance. Witness inquired whether she felt ill? .Tier reply was, "Oh, sir, my pain is here (point ing to her heart,) I am wretched and unhappy." Notwith standing witness's utmost 'efforts the deceased gradually sank, and died on Tuesday. On a post mortem examination, witness could not detect any appearance to account for death ; the or ganic powers were healthy. Witness attributed her dissolution to acute mental suffering.

The stability of this Society depends on the punctual payment of your arrears the sooner to yield relief to the suffering Souls in Purgatory, supply the wants c,f our distressed Clergyinen, and for the spiritual and temporal welfare of its members; the three principle points of this laudable institution. N.B. Subscriptions received in the School-room of Rose mary-lane, Chapel on the first Monday of each month, from eleven till two o'clock. Your arrears are 7s. 7d. being fourteen months subscription, ending June, 1809. Signed by Order, , President. You are humbly prayed to continue your laudable Exertions (so happily experienced since the commencement of this Society) in obtaining New Subscribers. W e have searched in vain in tha Bible fur the motto which adorns the head of this beautiful scrap of priestly humbug; the protestant bible, we believe, does not con tain it; perhaps it is dug out of some specially-prepared and amended edition for the use of the faithful, or pro bably it was devised for the occasion. The appropriate ness of the quotation to the object, leads us to favour this suspicion ; let others, however, solve the diffi c ulty. The idea of forming ocieties to save the true flock from flames and never dying worms is an admirable one; its operation cannot be too widely diffused (in eland); but with due submission,. we have a suggestion to make. It appears that the purgatorian clubs are designed mere ly to buy out those already thrown into. purgatory : might not the benevolent object he extended ? For in stance —suppose a Society to be formed for the purpose of " buyiog off" altogether : let it he called The No- Purgatory Association let the chief office he fixed in Merrion-square, Dublin, and obtain the services of Da niel O'Connell as actuary. A scale of payments might be . then drawn up, .adapted to the age, habits, wicked ness or godliness of each victim, who thus by means of a trifling annual deposit might ensure himself against even a passing visit to purgatory, and lay by a penny securely with which to pay the passage money charged by old Charon for rowing the departed across the Styx. It is notorious that the lack of this small fee has occasioned many hapless souls to wander long upon the desolate shores of that black and slimy river:— Stabant orantes priori transmittere cursum Tandebantique manus ripae ulterioris amore. We leave the matter in the hands of Dr. Ai•Hale--a man ever the foremost in good works—satisfied that if the scheme is likely to he a paying one, he will not allow it to - slumber long.—Manchester Chronicle. HEARTLESS CONDtTCT OF GOVERNMENT TOWARDS 500 BRITISH SAILORS. Since the publication of our last journal another ap peal has been made to government from this port, im ploring aid and assistance for the crews of the eleven ships embayed in the ice, in Davis' Straits. The follow ing is a copy of the memorial : To the Right Ilonourable the Lord Commissioners of the Admiralty, London. The memorial of the undersigned owners of the ships Grenville Bay and Lady J ane , emp l oye d i n t h e D av i s ' Straits Fishery, from this port. That the said ships, with nine others, were left in Davis' Straits, on the 11th of October last, by the ship Alfred, of Hull, closely beset in the ice, in lat. 68 deg. 55 M. N., and long. CO or 65 - deg. W., with a very doubtful prospect of being speedily liberated. That the frost had then set in very severely, and as no tidings have since been received frmu those ships, your memorialists are seriously alarmed for their safety, and apprehend, if they are not already lost, they may be compelled to remain in their peribus situation until relieved therefrom by the breaking up 1 of the ice in spring. That your petitioners' ships, when they left Newcastle, were abundantly supplied with prat isions, and every thing necessary for the voyage, and even sufficient to sustain the crews during the winter, but it is feared that having, as it is understood, part of the crews of two wrecked vessels on board, in addition to their own, they . may be exposed to dreadful sufferings in that incle ment region, unless early and effective assistance is rendered to them as soon as the season will admit. Your memorialists are fully aware of the frequent supplies which have been ordered by your lordships to he sent out to such'vessels, supposed to tie in want of provisions, on the home ward voyages, particularly when in fleet from the West Indies, &c. &c., when ships of war have c ru i se d i n th e c h ops of the ebarrae for weeks fur that express nurpose. Your Ineutorlal ists, therefore, with the fullest contid i ence, pray that your lord ships will take into youtiinunediate and serious consideration the ens" of the unfortunate men who are now presumed to be so dreadfully circumstanced, and adopt such measures as in your wisdom may tend to theireffectual relief, that they may be ena bled to return home in safety to their anxious and sorrowing families and friends, with the valuable property intrusted to their charge. And your memorialists, as in duty bound, will ever pray. Newcastle, 7th Dec., 1835. To the above memorial government have returned the following answer : Admiralty, 91li December, 1835. Sir,—Having laid before my Lords Commissioners of th e Admiralty the memor i a l o f the Jth instant, signed by you and others, praying fur assistance and relief to he sent to the ships which have been detained by ice, in Davis' Straits, I am com manded to acquaint you that, much as my lords regret the un fortunate situation of the crews of these ships, they do not think it.possible, from the advanced period of the season, to afford them the assistance required. I am, sir, your most obedient humble servant, (Signed) C. WOOD. We felt it to be our duty, last week, to animadvert, in strong terms, upon the unfeeling reply of the Lords of the Admiralty, through their secretary, Mr. Chas. Wood, to a similar application made by Mr. Thomas Hedley, of this town. 1 3at the present answer is still more repre hensible. We venture to assert that no government of a civilized country ever before e%llibited such cold blooded disregard of human life. What is the nature of the ap plicliton ? Why, that government will make an endea voueto preserve the lives of more than 500 of our bravest and most skilful navigators. And are the Lords of the Treasury urged to make the effort immediately ? No ; but " AS SOON AS THE SEASON WILL ADMIT." Now, with these facts, let us look at the answer of Mr. Charles Wood. He cooly says, " Much as my lords regret the unfortunate position of the crews of these ships, they do not think it possible, at the advanced period of the sea son, to afford them the assistance required." Mr. Charles Wood, if he he not as devoid of sense as Of feeling, is aware that the advanced period of the season" has no thing to do with the application. Government is not called upon to direct a vessel to proceed to the Straits, and run amongst the ice so as to ensure her destruction.' They are - merely desired to appoint and equip a vessel, WEST INDIES. • Geo Canning, Flavry 170 St•Th & Laguira Kers, Imrie, and co Elizabeth, Brown 207 Trinidad J Poole and co Pekin, Blair 288 Trinidad T Tinley and oo Tweed, Smith . 239 Do & P Cabello Kers, Imrie and co Jas Laurie, Findlater 166 St Th & Nassau J Claypole Galston, Guthrie 169 St Th & Hayti Kers & co, or T Barber Veracity, Allan 156 St Th & Hayti Bahr, Behrend and co Pearl, Crosbie 159 Barbados Barton, Irlam and co John Black, M'Kenzie 167 Barbados Trotman, or Campbell Elizabeth, Scott, 261 Barbados T Lee and co Tickler, Corkhindal 252 Demerara J Gordon and co Hopkinsnn, White 396 Ditto N Waterhouse and en Elvira, Morison 320 Ditto Robinson and Girvin Sanderson, Taggart 307 biito .
