MELANCHOLY EVENT.

It is with the most acute and painful emotions we
feel it our duty to relate the following melancholy
catastrophe:—
CHARM, FIRLDING FITZGERALD, Lieutenant
in the Royal Engineers, being on u visit to Colonel
and Lady CHARLOTTI STRUTT, at their seat,
Terling Place, in Essex. was, on Thursday, the
nth lost. requested to accompany Captain TiRELL,
son of Sir JOHN TIMELY., Burt. of Borehant
House, and Captain Stumm, of the 3d Dragoon
Guards (uephew of Lady WALTHAM), int; sporting
excursion on the Colonel's estate. Having met
with good success, they halted shout three o'clock,
to take some refreshment, a short distance from a
large pond in the Colonel's Park; and whilst par-
taking of their repast, one 'of the dogs made to the
pond, and sprung a wild duck, which Mr. FITZ-
ORRA LD presently shot ; it fell nearly in the middle
of the water, which covers about an acre of land.—
Mr. FITZGERALD (being an excellent swimmer)
wus about to undress himself and go in fur it ; but
being warned by his companions of the danger of
so doing, and particularly by Mr.GEoItOR TAY LER,
who had accompanied them, and was well no.
quainter' with the depth of the pond, he was
induced to relinquish his intended project. upon
Mr. TAYI.ZR setting off for a dog that had
been used to the water; but, becoming very im-
patient, he again renewed his intention of going in
fur it ; and, although Captains TYRELf. and,
STUART again very properly expostulated with him
upou the probable danger of so doing, he still per-
sisted upon attempting to get the bird out, and
begged they would not be alarmed, saying, he was
not afraid of the water. He struck off boldly from
the head of the pond, where the water is deepest,
and was soon withiu a few yards of the bird, but
feeling himself Wick exhausted, had the resolu-
tion to return without venturing farther; and hay-
ing got within shout 30 feet of the place where he
-entered, he made a sudden stop (being, probishlyi
seised with the Cramp, or, as is conjeemped, broke
a blood.vevael, his stomach being very .fall, and
having bled profueely after he was got on)), and
groaning twice " Oh! Oh !" sunk, to rise nu more
alive. Captains TYRRLL and STUART Were, of
courae, eye-witnesses of this tragical and awful
sight, and it were in vain to attempt to picture the
distress it occasioned them.

When an event so truly awful as this ocean,
beholder is apt to he overcome with terror, or may
be induced to plunge in immediately. without pro-
per precaution; and although Captain STUART did
actually jump in at the moment he saw Mr. FITZ..
GRRALO sink, he formed the prudent resolution to
return immediately, and he and Captain TYRELL
were quite collected. The former then hastened to
Terling-place for inoistillice, from whence JOHN
STRUTT, E.q. son of Colonel STRUT?, immediately
set off for a surgeon. In the mean time Captain
STUART had procured assistance, and having fats.
tened a rope to his body, sprung into the water,
and lie being' an excellent swimmer, exerted him-
self in eve►y possible way to find his unfortunate
companiou, but without success ; and it was with
considerable difficulty Capt. STUART was rescued,
although several persons assisted in getting him out,
he having become greatly exhausted, and the pond
bring full of weed.. Mr. BARER, of Maddox-hall
(which is a short distance from the pond), and his
sun, Mr. WM. BARRA, of Chipping Oiler, who
was on a visit at his friends, hearing of the accident,
hastened to the spot, where Colonel STnure had
just ionised, in the greatest distress. Many other
persons had also, by this time, arrived. Mr. W.
BARER, anxiously hoping, if the body could be
gut out immediately lire might probably be restored,
•nd having undressed himself, the rope being fas-
tened round him, ventured into the pond, truly
anxious to rescue the unfortunate sufferer from a
watery grave (although he had very recently reco-
vered from a long and severe affliction), but his
attempt proved altogether es ineffectual as Captain
STUART'S. A third person also went in, beiii; a
good swimmer, (►ut from the extreme coldness of
the water (it being a spring 'mad), and the obstrue.
tion arising from the weeds, was she unable to effect
the much-wished-for object. Mr. TOlllllll3, our-

'eon, at Withers, who had been sent for, hail by this
time arrived, but despaired of getting him out alive,
lie having beet, in the water more than an hour.
Recourse was their had to dregs; with the as-
sistance of which, and a boat, the body was et
length found, but not got out till after the lepse
of two home since he sunk ; and every means that
tl►e superior abilities of Mr. TOMILINII could devise
to restore life were for sgyeral hours persevered in,
but without success.

An Inquest was held on the body, on Saturday.
before W. COD°, Req. Cmcmer ; when the Jury,
without lirritntimt, resuraed p verdict of "Acciden-
tally Drowned."

NORTHERN EXPEDITION,

[From The Caledonia* Mercury.: •

We have been favoured with the following enri-
ous and interesting Letter to the Honourahle Cap-
tain Napier, ti.N. from on board the !salmila, one
of the ships, at present employed in the Northern
Expedition :

His Majesty's ship /Melte, Or Sugar Loaf Day,
. Davis's Straits, July 17, 11118, lat. 74. 2. SI. lung.
88 W.
MY DEAR Sta—l take the opportunity of a
Leith ship to let you know ulna we are about in
this icy scaion : a few extracts from the log will
give some idea of our proceedings. On the 3d
of May left Shetland, and had a tolerably fi;ir
passage across the Atlantic ; on the 22d were in
longitude off Cape Farewell; g deg. south of it
foiled our variation increasing as we went west ;
temperature of air end water nearly the same
es at Mottled,, thermometer at 42 or 43 deg.—
On the 25th saw the first ice-berg, 1at..58. 38.
long. 50. 54.; we now had snow and sleet, ther-
mometer at freezing, a good deal of loose ice all
round. June 2, in Isl. 65. long. 36. were close in
with the main west ice, which we supposed ex-
tended the whole way to the American coast ; on
the 4th made the Greenland coast, in lat. 65. 42.
but did not stand close in ; the land here appeared
something like the north coast of Spain, and about
the same height, the mountains very precipitous.
and terminating in ragged peaks. We continued
our course to the northward, as the winds and ice
permitted, keeping on the edge of the main west
ice, which we found trending to N.E. On the
Bth, in lat. 68. 20. long. 34t. 50. a few leagues off
the Greenland coast, we were so hemmed in with
ice on all aides that wo could not run through; a
fine S.W. gale was blowing, and were obliged to
tack about where we could find room. On the 9th
we made fast to au ice-berg aground in 38 fathoms,
about a mile oft* shore. The mode of anchoring
to ice is very easy, the boat goes a-head with the
anchors, and fixes them before the ship approaches ;
when reedy, the ship stands, in and mattes fast, bovi
to the ice; a low herg that the bowsprit lays over
is preferred, mud aground if it can be had. Gus the
10th were obliged to get under way, a small change
of wind setting a large body of ire upon us; we
continued plying where we could bud open water,
and fell in with a whaler. the first we had eerie, who
informed tits that itone of the whale ships had been
able to get past 70i deg.; that the ice to time north-
ward was still fast. On the 14th culled. et the
Whole blends, where there is a Danish factory.
The Danish Resident come op board ; frost}
him we could get little information. except that
the preceding protester had, been very severe. On
the 16th we reached 70. 39. N. no clear water to be
seen northward; rnsde fast to an ice-berg shout I
mile off the N.W. end of Wajgat or flare Island.
We found here most of the whale fishers waiting
for an opening to go north, the fishery to the south-
ward having failed this season. ‘Veyget is eight or
nine miles long.
.1,200 or 1,500 feet high, uninlia.
bited, some of the rocks basaltic. Coal is found near
the surface oq the N.A. part of the island. Some
grouse were shot, the cock perfectly white, the lien
not unlike that of Scotland. I raw one hare pure
white. On the 20th the ice opened a little, to the
northward, when we began to. warp and tow the
;hip through the slack, the winsis light and vari-
able, and frequent calms. On the 26th were only
twenty miles from Waygat, where we got into
a piece of clear water that carried us to the
land ice on the north side of Jacob'. Bight, •
let. 70. 21. We found ourselves in 54. 17. W. per
Inners, which agreed well with chronnmeters. We
swung the ship. end took azimuths on board at
every four points. Corresponding azimuths 'were
taken at the same time on the ice. The observa-
tions were not taken in so. correct a manner as
might be done to r0f4.1 a. just estimate of the deene!
lion of the compose by ship's attraction.. The idea
here at present is, that the compasses are net at.
tracted in a hoe with the ship, but obliquely. From
my own obereveliou I find that the beariogs of
Nut objects with the ship's head not th and south cor-
respond, which would not be the cane Vibe attraction
of the ship was not fore end aft, but athwart. The
azimuths taken with the ship's head north or south
generally agree. It is supposed likewise that the
error arisiug from the ship's attraction Imo increased
with the variation and dip. As there were no oh.
servatioos made before leaving England on the
shie's attraction" we must have patience mail the
eariation is again deceased. I think that the error
Ices been constant the whole voyage. The snip?"
head at west gives, according to my own observe.
6011, sit increase of variation 16 deg.; at east a
decrease of 16 deg. On the 27th we cast off from
the ice, with the prospect of an opening. and cruis-
ed about in a narrow pool till the 2d July, when
a fine fresh breeze opened a passage far us. On the
qd, we were in 71.30.—0 n the 4th, 72. 30. On the
7th in lat. 74. we were agaiu obstructed by the ice,
the bergs and flaws much heavier than those hitherto
seen. We are now in the same place that Boffin 200
years ago anchored. We find the Thiee Islands just
om he describes them ' • he nukes them in 74. 4. ; we
make them 74. Baffin gives an honest account
of them. We stretched to the westward on the
9th and 10th, but found the sea ell fast. We are
new in daily eepectatiou of the wind slotting to the
N.E. and blowing strong, which is the only thing
that will du us good. It is strange that, at the
same time of the year, almost to a day, Baffin should
have been stopped by ice in the same elect; he
likewise stood west without fiiiding clear sea—his
urpount takes hint to .78. N. but he does not say
he was tit the top of the bay...or saw hied there.
Our voyage hitherto has been very pleasant. Since
the Middle of June we have had very fine weather,
the therinonieter in sun 76.—eonsetianes in the shade
it is at a mean about 33 or 34..satnetimes below the
freezing point. For five or six weeks we have only
had occasion to take in the first reef once. The
water is as smooth es a mill-pond all weathers. We
have scarcely seen rein—our changes of e;estiser
are from cloudy to thick fogs, and sometimes light
falls of snow. So:attunes the sun shines uncloud-
ed the whole 24 hours. %% e have only seen two
whiles; and have only he.;rrl of our toeing killed
since we have been here—they are all north of os.
Bears ere as scorer—one has been seen. A great
number of the gull tribe have been snot, and use
sometimes procure a mess of eider ducks; seals
are more abundant, but we don't trouble them.

When at the Three [sleuth we mode some further

pose, is owing to the increase of dip. I think it
'KM at all iatpcobable. that, as the terrestrial
flispetiem hegius to set mere inclined to the

ipso of the ship still acting at the same angle, draws
the needle towards the centre of the ship. which
eispets this greet deviation of the compass; and snou Id
• we reach the place where the dip is gO. I think the
compass will stand always north amid south by the
inaguetista of the ship. We did not speak the

that he knows more than a ship load could tell
him°. We have been unfortunate in killing 'mi.
nods, so that I hove got no crystalline lenses for
him. I bespoke some eyes of whales from the
&hers, bet the chance of their killing fish. or of our
falling in with them agaiu, is doubtful. If we fall
in with e Leith ship, I will tend the stones.
Jelly in.—Yesterday we got so op ening, which
brought as to the 75th deg. The whales begin to
make their appearance, several hewing been killed
within these eight days. The main land appears
one continued smooth ridge of snow, only hone and
there the black peak of a moontom airpearing;
some large islands on the coast less covered with
anow ; the land ice extends three or four leagues
off, so there is no prospect of approaching the coast
hereabouts. We sound dectsitsually in from 200 to
400 fathoms soft mud loud small stones. Three
days we were beset in the ice; could not observe
any current, by the lead lying at the bottom, though
the ice on the surface was in motion.

tion increases so much. It is puzzlisig to thud out
exactly how the ship is steering by the compass;
what with the great 'edition and error, arising
from the ship's attraction and the 'doggish tra-
versing ut the company's, we must consoler mute
time before a course of wind can be properly na-
med. We are• now the nothermost ship. and ha,•e
