POUND ON RAMSAY ISLAND.

Her Majesty's ship Enterprise, Aug. 27, 1852,
lat. 71 deg. 25 min., long. 119 deg. 5 min.
We left our winter quarters at the eastern end of this
bay on the sth inst., and have been prevented by the
ice from any progress until this day. It is my intention
to pursue the channel separation, Wollaston, from Prince
Albert's Land, the entrance to which is in lat. 70 deg.
35 min. north. Hitherto the ice has been close in with
the shore, nor have we been able to turn its western
edge by pursuing a westerly route along the south end
of Baring Island. All well.

RECORD FOUND ON PRINCESS ROYAL ISLETS.

This post was erected by her Majesty's ship Investi-
gator; wintered in, the pack off it in 1850.1851, and
then pursued her way to the westward.
The strait was visited on the 30th of August, 1851,
by the Enterprise, who pursued the same course.
This post was visited by travelling parties from her
Majesty's ship Enterprise and another ; traced the north
coast of Prince Albert's Land, and found a deep inlet, or
strait, 80 miles to the south-east of the mark erected by
the Investigator.
At the north end of the straits another party, which
has not yet returned, went across with orders to reach
Melville Island if possible. We have taken 301 b. of
preserved meats. a case and a half of potatoes, half a

cask of sugar, half a cask of cocoa, and seven gills of
rum.

RECORD FOUND ON PRINCESS ROYAL ISLAND.

Her Majesty's ship Enterprise reached the east end of
Prince of Wales Straits on the 30th of August, 1851,
and found the sea closely packed off the mouth of the
straits, and, not finding a suitable winter quarters, she
will be found near the south-west end of Baring's Island,
or, if there is no harbour there, in the bight of Prince
Albert's Land, 70 miles south of this island. All well
on board.

R. COLLINSON, Captain.

Her Majesty's ship Enterprise, Winter Quarters
lat. 71 deg. 05 min. north, long. 117 deg. 39
min. west, 1851.1852.

We wintered here, arrivinc, on September 14, and
were finally frozen in October 24. In the interval
several natives visited the ship, eventually leaving us on
the 9th of November. They are a quiet people, but
have little to spare. Needles, knives, and saws are the
articles principally in requisition.
Almost throughout the whole of the winter we ob-
tained hares, ptarmigan, &T. The weather has been
exceedingly mild ; the monthly average never below 20
deg. Little or no sickness has occurred, and we are
in fit condition for hard work. Travelling parties will
start early in April- —one following the coast southerly ;
the others will pass through Prince Wales Strait, and
then iyirt, one for Melville Island, if possible, and the
other along the north side of Prince Albert's Land, in
search of the missing expedition.
Intelligence respecting the movements of the Enter-
prise will be deposited on an islet (10 feet magnetic north
of a mark) in lat. 71 deg. 49 min. north, long. 119 deg.
west, subsequent to the return of the travelling parties.

RECORD FOUND ON RAMSAY ISLAND.

The provisions on Princess Royal Island were safe on
the 29th of May, except what our travelling parties con-
sumed. _ _

The Resolution sledge parted company on the 4th of
May for Melville Island, and has not yet returned. All
well, and no traces of missing expedition.
I shall proceed southerly, along Prince Albert's Land,
immediately I am extricated.

Mr. Ford—You say that your present opinion was
formed from what you heard at the inquest ?
Mr. Gray—And the post mortent examination.
Mr. Ford—Then how long were you at the inquest ?
Mr. Gray—l was in and out several times, and was
told by a friend at the door what was going on.
Mr. Ford—Then your opinion was formed from what
was told you ?
Mr. Gray—Yes, with what I know besides.
The Mayor—You do not mean to say that the same
fall from the bed that might have caused rupture of tile
bladder caused also the bruises on her person ?
Mr. Gray--I only suppose that in falling she mig3it
have struck her head against the side of the cabin,
which might have also caused her to fall on her knee.,
Frederick John Lowes, Esq., surgeon, of Anglesq,
also gave some lengthened medical testimony as to the in-
ternal and external appearances of the deceased's body.
This gentleman agreed with the other witnesses as to
death being caused by peritonitis.
Mr. John Thomas KniJit, pupil to the last witness,
also described the appearance ot deceased's body. This
witness produced the uterus and bladder from deceased's

body.
William li. Garrington, Esq., euraeon, of Portsea—l
have seen the uterus and bladder. Tile bladder din not
present any trace of prior disease or ulceration. If there
had been any previous ulceration of the bladder I should
have been enabled to detect it.

This witness agreed with the other medical gentlemen
that pressure, as well as a now or fall, might cause rup-
ture to a distended bladder.

The court then, it bciii.l2,, half past six, adjournei the
ca,e to nine o'clock on Tuesday morning, when some
witnesses from the Dauntless are to be examined.

TRIAL OF THE VIPER.

The Viper screw steam despatch gun-boat, Lieutenant-
Commander M`Killop, when she left Woolwich in the
early part of last week for service with the fleet in the
Black Sea, remained for some time at Greenhithe, to
have her compasses adjusted, and to take in a large sup-
ply of live shells and powder from Purfleet. She sub-
sequently made a trial to ascertain her speed below the
Mouse Light. The engines worked well without any
hot bearings, and her average speed was found to be
about 12 knots an hour.

Captain Sir Edward Belcher, of the Assistance, Cap-
tain Kellett, of the Resolute, and Captain 31‘Chare, of
the Investigator discovery ships, were all at the Admi-
ralty during the greater part of the day on Saturday in
communication with their Lordships relative to their
recent voyages and travels in the Arctic regions. The
Phoenix, screw steam-sloop, in which they were brought
home, is hourly expected at Woolwicla.

The following young gentlemen, who passed into the
navy from Mr. Eastman's preparatory naval establish-
ment at Southsea at the last monthly examination at the
Royal Naval College, Portsmouth, have been appointed
naval cadets to the undermentioned ships :—Mr. W.
Otter and Mr. A. Jephson, to the Queen, 116, in the
Black Sea ; Mr. A. Jekyll, to the Cossack, at Chatham ;
Mr. F. B. Renshaw, to the Powerful, 84, at Spithead ;
Mr. G. J. B. Elphinstone, to the Monarch, 84, in the
Baltic ; and Mr. C. Giffard, to the Sphinx, on her way
to the Black Sea.

The postmaster of Portsmouth, Mr. John Sheppard,
published outside the office shutters yesterday a copy of
the official despatch from the Minister of War, an-
nouncing the successes of the allied forces on the ap-
proach to Sebastopol, which created no small gratifica-
tion throughout the port.

Major. General Sir Frederick Smith, R.E , has pro-
ceeded to Boulogne, to inquire into and report upon the
French system of hutting their troops, preparatory, it is
believed, to its introduction into the British military
service.

A new corps or mounted staff for similar service to
the ambulance corps is now in progress of formation in
London, for the purpose of proceeding to and serving at
the seat of war in the East, and will embark at Wool-
wich for their destination when the necessary arrange-
ments are completed. _

A number of military prisoners have been pardoned
during the past month who were confined at Fort Cla-
rence, Chatham, the Governor, Captain Manners, having
recommended them to the Secretary at War for their
good conduct while in prison.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
PARIS, SUNDAY.
The Moniteur publishes the following important
,elegraphic despatches :

" Vienna, Sept. 30.
" Constaneinople, Sept. 23.

" The Russian army of 50,000 men, in an in-
trenched camp on the heights of the Alma, with
numerous cavalry and artillery, was attacked on
the 20th at one o'clock p.m., by the allied troops.
"At half-past three the position was carried by
the bayonet, and the enemy forced to put himself
in full retreat.
" The Minister of War has received from the

_aarshal Commanding-in-Chief of the Army of the
East, a report on the disembarkation of the
allied troops in the Crimea.
We read in the Constitutionnel :—" It was
stated yesterday evening that accounts had
reached Paris during the day from Constantino-
ple more recent than those which came by the
Ajaccio. According to these advices, a body of
the Allied troops are said to have had a first affair
with the Russian army, commanded by Prince
Menschikoff. The advantage is said to have re-
mained with the allied troops, who had acquired
the conviction that the Russiam forces destined for
the defence of the Crimea are too few in number to
oppose a long resistance." We find nothing in the
Illoniteur to confirm the above account. That
journal has merely the following lines :—" A de-
spatch dated from the bivouao of Old Fort, 18th,
announces that the army was to commence its
march on the following day."
A letter from Athens, 22d, in the Moniteur,
says :—" The editor of the Siecle, who has been
guilty of insulting attacks against the French. army
and navy, has been arrested and sent to the Piraeus.
His presses have been seized. This measure which
has been long necessary, has produced a very good
effect on the public. The'sanitary condition of the
troops is excellent. Houses have been already
taken at the entrance of Athens for the accommo-
dation of from 1,200 to 1,5000 f our soldiers, to the
great satisfaction of the inhabitants. The English
troops will alse enter the capital. The Greek ves-
sels which were detained at Gravosa have been al-

lowed to go to Poros."
The Pays, which has frequently alluded in terms
of reprobation to what may be called the expectant
policy of the German Powers, has a long article on
the circular of M. de Manteuffel, in which that Min-
ister makes no secret of the leaning of the Prussian
Cabinet towards Russia, and endeavours to show
that Germany, now that the Principalities of the
Danube have been evacuated by the Russians, and
the navigation of the river is comparatively free, has
no interest in supporting the demands of the
Western Powers. The Pays analyses the circular
of M. de Manteuffel, and exposes its fallacies ; at
the same time, it shows that the propositions,
which have been called those of France and Eng-
land, were in reality those of Austria and Prussia,
although the Western Powers in their desire to
conciliate had consented to lay them down as the
bases of negotiation. Austria and Prussia were
therefore, according to the Pays, bound to co-
operate in an effective manner to enfore them upon
the Russian government.

DEPARTURE OF THE ALGIERS.

DEVONPORT, Oct. I.—The Algiers, 91, Captain Tal-
bot, would, it was thought, have to put to sea short of
her complement, by reason of many of her crew being
absent when she left harbour for the Sound ; but nearly
every one of the men returned to her before leaving the
Sound. The Algiers relieves the Albion, 90, in the
Black Sea. The Indefatigable, 50, Captain Hope, was
paid wages yesterday, and will sail in a day or two for
Rio, where she will bear the flag of Rear-Admiral Hope
Johnstone, commander-in-chief of the South American
station. The Havannah is being fitted for sea for the Aus-
tralian station. It is said she is in a very bad state, and
will require extensive repairs. The Hornet, 16 (screw),
Commander Forsyth, was taken out of dock yesterday,
and is now ready for sea.

PRUSSIA.

BERLIN, Sept. 28.—The King, upon reaching
Pulverkrug, on the banks of the Oder, intended to
have passed the river at that place, but in conse-
quence of the stormy weather, and at the earnest
recommendation of the local authorities, he aban-
doned his project, and took a circuitous route
by Ziebingen and Redenukel, to Crossen, in
order to inspect the ruptures in the dykes.
Having arrived at Munchsdorf, his Majesty
quitted his carriage, and, in despite of the storm
and rain, closely examined on foot the .havoc
committed in that vicinity by the inundations.
Having completed his inspection, the King took
refuge against the storm in the church, the only
building in the immediate neighbourhood which .
still offered shelter. The King will not return
until he has visited the whole submerged localities,
so that he is not expected back at Sans Souci until
the 4th October.
The Prince of Prussia quitted Berlin yesterday
for Weimar, on his way to the Rhine, in order to
attend the birthday celebration of her oyal High-
ness the Princess of Prussia, who will complete her

A letter from Berlin 26th, in the German Jour-
nal of Frankfort, states that in consequence of the
Austrian circular despatch of the 14th the Cabinet
of Berlin has just addressed a second despatch to
its representatives at the different German Courts.
Prussia therein declares that on the ground-work
she partakes of the views of Austria, but that she
differs in opinions on certain points, for which she
explains her motives.

EGYPT.

ALEXANDRIA, SEPT. 22.

The return of his nicihness the Viceroy, from
his visit to the Sultan, has been celebrated with
much rejoicing.
Saturday next has been fixed for the reading of
the firman, naming him Grand Vizier, and the
ceremony will take place here, instead of at Cairo,
as has hitherto been the usage.
Most of the old employes of Mehemet Ali are
returned, but where employ—which is evidently
the attraction—is to be found for them it is difficult
to say. Generally speaking, they are men posses-
sing considerable ability.
This is about the sum of political matters in
Egypt, except that his Highness intends to render
more efficient the naval and military services of
the country, and reviews and artillery practice are
the order of the day. Ten thousand men and
38 guns are to be embarked forthwith to streng-
then the Egyptian contingent in Turkey.
The Nile continues to rise, but no fears are en-
tertained of its being higher this year than usual.

Mr. Ford—You say that your present opinion was
formed from what you heard at the inquest ?
Mr. Gray—And the post mortem examination.
Mr. Ford—Then how long were you at the inquest ?
Mr. Gray—l was in and out several times, and was
told by a friend at the door what was going on.
Mr. Ford—Then your opinion was formed from what
was told you ?
Mr. Gray—Yes, with what I know besides.
The Mayor—You do not mean to say that the same
fall from the bed that might have caused rupture of the
bladder caused also the bruises on her person ?
Mr. Gray—l only suppose that in falling she might
have struck her head against the side of the cabin,
which might have also caused her to fall on her knee.
Frederick John Lowes, Esq., surgeon, of Anglesey,
also gave some lengthened medical testimony as to the in-
ternal and external appearances of the deceased's body.
This gentleman agreed with the other witnesses as to
death being caused by peritonitis.
Mr. John Thomas Knight, pupil to the last witness,
also described the appearance of deceased's body. This
witness produced the uterus and bladder from deceased's
body.

William. 11. Carrington, Esq., surgeon, of Portsea—l
have seen the uterus and bladder. The bladder did not
present any trace of prior disease or ulceration. If there
had been any previous ulceration of the bladder I should
have been enabled to detect it.
This witness agreed with tho other medical gentlemen
that pressure, as well as a blow or fall, might cause rup-
ture to a distended bladder.
The court then, it being half-past six, adjourned the
case to nine o'clock en Tuesday morning, when some
witnesses from the Dauntless are to be examined.

THE WAR IN ASIA.

A letter from Kars, 17th ult., in the 14 oniteur,
says : " A few days since, it was announced by the
advanced posts that the enemy had quitted hie
position of Ind.g(e-Dore. A patrol which had been
sent on a reconnaissance confirmed this information.
The Russians, threatened by Schamyl on the side
of Tiflis, and fearing a second attack from the
Ottoman army, had in fact fallen back on their
centre, abandoning their tents, and a quantity of
barley and biscuit sufficient to supply the Turkish
advanced guard for a week. The Russians have
since established their camp near Gumri, at the
place where the Kartschai falls into the Arpatohai.
From information received, it appears that the
enemy lost 8,000 men and 3,000 horses, in the
last battle, and two generals have since died of
their wounds. One battalion of grenadiers, which
was 1,000 strong at the commencement of the
combat, had only 160 left after it. The enemy
was so weakened and demoralised that it felt in-
capable of sustaining a second attack. The Turks,
on the contrary, who had been reinforced by fresh
recruits from the Diarbekir only wait the arrival
of Ismail Pacha to resume the offensive."

THE BALTIC.
The following telegraphic communication has
ust been received :

" BERLIN, Sunday.
" The French Admiral Deschenes has received
orders at Kiel to collect his ships in Kiel harbour,
and to take them back to the Gulf of Finland.

" The Turkish Minister at Vienna received in-
formation last night that Sebastopol has been
taken.
" The details are unknown."

NYBORG, Oct. I.—The French steam corvette
Heron, having in tow the French line of battle ship
Jemappes, passed here yesterday. Orders having
arrived to-day, the French ships generally passed
the Belt to rendezvous at Gottenburg. It is said a
number of English ships rendezvous.
