NORTH-WEST PASS4SE.

Respecting the probability or Captain Parry's
gaining • north-west passage, Mr. Eccles, late sur-
geon of the Brunswick, observes—

" Having been deployed thts year is the whale-trhieg
trade, 1 'llia 1 shell be enabled to streagthen tee probabi-
lity of their saeceedieg in praetratiag more to the westward
this than in former years, on account of the winds proving
more f ble to the itroseention of their voyage &testi the
American coast.

.4 Out of five months mop/eyed la the whale lofting in
Davies Straits and Bat See By, the wiwd blew from the
south sod westward nearly three, avid always with such trio-
core us leaves little or no doubt is my mind, that the tract
which Captain Parry determined to pursue, along the coast,
would be cleared of ice.
" But the cossexion which the ice holds with the load
in nano* straits, and which requires no ordinary tome of
wind to blow it off, may be started as an objection to what I
have advanced; let it be remembered, however, that the
initith.westerly winds acted upon the ire In the slimmer
months when the son never set, and whore rays &Meg on
the land and rocks, with which the ice was connected, were
absorbed, and reoffered capable of diffusing a degree of heat
stilficiestly powerful to thaw and set the foe, at liberty.
" After looking over the principal meteorological jour-
nals. kept in them regions, I have nut yrt discovered OK, in
which the south westerly winds were so prevalent as this
year, and the opinions of the majority of the commanders
of the north fishing ships, with whose 1 bad freepsest oppor-
tunities of conversisg, acknowledge she same.
" lo the *baptise elpectation of one day (not fa► distaat,
hope) hearing of this passage being discovered, by which
our geographical and testaral knowledge will sot only be im-
proved, bat science and commerce extended, I am, &c."

On Saturday last, about seven in the evening, a

and lasted for nearly three hours. During the gale
au immense flight of birds were hovering in the
air, chiefly over King-oreet, Queen-square, the
Quay, and Park-street, and continued until about
four in the morning. when they deported; the at-
mosphere was ao dark during the whole time, Ilia
they could not be seen, but their cry, which was a
small piping whistling snood, attracted the notice
of the passengers. It was thought, at first, to be a
flight of gulls, driven from the westward by the
storm in the Chatinel, but as these bids, we be-
lieve, do not move by night, it was more probably a
flin.k of plovers. Can say naturalist, or any reader.
who observed the circumatiice, give us any info,-
motion upon the subject ?
