THE “ TERROR."

The following extract from a letter, (dated Loch Silly
Ireland, September 4,) from an officer on board the
Terror, to a gentleman in the neighbourhood of Dumfries,
gives a narrative of the voyage, and explains the causes of
its failure : _

4WD
" Very shortly after my joining the Terror, we started
in tow of a steam-boat from Chatham, and, from strong
northerly winds, were obliged to anchor in Aberdeen Bay,
on June 20, 1836 ; since which, up to this time, we have
not let go an anchor, or been in harbour, or had any one
but what belonged to the ship on board. We made the
ice at the entrance of Hudson Straits on July 29, on en-
tering which we found the strait very full of heavy ice,
through which we continued boring, and making our way
to the north west. Passed Mill Island on the 18th Au-
gust, when it was determined to try the passage along the
north shore of Southampton Island, and up the frozen
strait, hoping by this way to reach our destination (Re-
pulse or Wager Bay), as Captain Lyon, in the Griper, on
the last expedition, completely failed on going south-about.
Towards the latter end of August we found the ice very
close, more particularly as we neared the frozen strait ;
but, supposing the season not too far advanced, it was
thought best to press on, for which every possible exer-
tion was made, and we succeeded in making a little towards
our port each day until the middle of September, when
we became completely beset with ice, and drifted about
with it, influenced by the tide or winds. At this time we
should have been very happy to have tried the south pas-
sage, but it was impossible to have got the ship out, as no
water could be seen from the mast head in any direction.
" The prospect of reaching Repulse or Wager Bay this
year became rather faint, as the temperature now became
low, with young bay ice forming to a considerable thick-
ness every night. Winter quarters for the ship became a
serious consideration, which we hoped to find on the north
coast of Southampton Island. But no ; in a very short 1
time we got frozen in, in the middle of a large flow of ice,
about nine miles in circumference, where we were doomed
to spend many a dreary day, without having the ship se.
cured. We drifted about with the ice until the 18th of
February, when it broke up, placing the ship in very great
danger, as, from this time up to the 15th of March, there
was nearly a constant pressure upon us, caused by the is
being almost always in motion from the tides and strong
winds. The ship, up to the 15th, was so much shaken
that we were prepared to leave her, and trust to the
boats ; the ship's sides were obliged to be shoved out b)
extra beams, to prevent their corning in upon us, as well

A few days ago the celebrated M. Vidocq appeared
before one of the tribunals of Paris, to complain of one of
his clerks, who had robbed-, him of the sum of 92f. It
appears not to have been his intention originally to proceed
against his unfaithful servant ; but the report of his having
been robbed having got abroad, was exaggerated by some
of the papers, and the commissary •f police urged him to
take measures for punishing the offender. As the charge
was not very rigourously pressed the prisoner was acquitted.
On Monday the liberal electors of South Stafford-
shire entertained Colonel Anson, their newly elected
Member, to dinner, in honour of their signal triumph at
the recent contest. Edward Buller, Esq., M.P. for the
northern division of the county, presided, and he was sup-
ported on the right by their honourable guest, Col. Anson,
My., and F. Finch, Esq., M.P. for Walsall ; on the
left, by the Rev. J. P. Jones, Rector of Cheadle, and
Sir Chas. Wolseley, Bart. About 200 persons wholly
electors from the agricultural district of this important
county sat down on the occasion.

An adjourned inquest was held en Thursday, at
Upton, on the remains of Mr. Henesey, late a master in the
Royal Navy, aged 36, who had destroyed himself by swal-
lowing a quantity of prussic acid,
