THE SCREW-FRIGATE DAUNTLESS.

We have been favoured with the following extract of
another private letter about this ill-fated ship. It will
be most gratifying to the friends of the survivors t.
know that the fearful malady is stayed :
" Barbadoes, Feb. 12, 1853.
" It will be gratifying to a number of people to know that
the Dauntless has not produced a single case of fever since
the 22d ult., and that all those who were attacked and did
not die are out of hospital, and on the fair road of perfect
recovery. Out of 180 cases of fever 85 have died from the
commencement of the awful visitation up to this time. But
notwithstanding our present healthy state, to guard against
risking more lives, it has been decided on by a board of
talented medical men, presided over by Dr. Connell, sur-
geon to the forces, to recommend that nothing should be
done in the shape of re-embarking until, I believe, about
30 days have elapsed from the date of the last case of fever.
After that time it is reported that we shall steam as quickly
as possible into cold weather, and most likely Bermuda will
be our destination. I think I have nothing more to add.
The 34th Regiment have returned from their tented ground
on Britton's Hill into barracks, and the crew of the Daunt-
less now occupy a portion of the vacated encampment on
that comparatively elevated position, where they are in the
eivoyment of perfect health, but as usual appear quite
adlift on shore, and long to be on board their ship again
Jack's natural and legitimate home."

THE CLAIMS OF ARCTIC OFFICERS TO
PROMOTION.

The following letter has been • addressed to us by a
friend of Commander Inglefield :
" Sir,—Reading an article in your paper of the 23d ult.
on the Arctic Expedition of 1853, under Commander In-
glefield, who is a friend of mine, I beg to offer the follow-
ing remarks iu consequence of the assertion therein, that
' several other Arctic officers are more deserving of pro-
motion than Commander Inglefield.' The reasons are
stated.

" Now, I freely admit the claims of each of those intre-
pid voyagers to the gratitude of their countrymen, and
a reward for their services ; yet, I must remind you—
" First, that Commander Pullen was rewarded by pro-
motion for the privations endured in the boat expedition,
and has barely served his time for a higher reward.
" Secondly, Commander M'Clintock was also promoted
for Arctic services under Captain Austin, and now, in
command of the Intrepid, has not completed the service he
is engaged upon.
" Lastly, Commander Forsyth, it is true, went out in a
private expedition, but it was in company. f many vessels,
at no personal expense, and returned with no information

beyond such as the dispatches from Captain Austin, of
which he was the bearer, conveyed.
" Now, on the other hand, Commander Inglefield is
nearly eight years a commander, commanded several ships,
and has just carried out, at his own expense and risk, one
of the most extraordinary voyages on record—having, in a
short space of time, and alone in his solitary vessel, skirted
the shores of Baffin's Bay, discovered two wide straits lead-
ing into the Polar basin, and added to the Arctic chart
600 miles of new coast line—going far out of his road be-
sides, as the winter forced him from the northward, to
bring home to his countrymen the latest news of Sir Ed-
ward Belcher's squadron.
" However odious are comparisons, these have their
origin in the article referred to, andj trust to your can-
dour for their insertion."

We regret that Commander Inglefield has a friend so
injudicious as to pursue any comparison between Com-
Blander Inglefield's claims and the services of officers
who have been engaged in Arctic services, for his friend
must naturally suffer in consequence. In the first place,
Commander Pullen, for an old mate and an experienced
surveying-officer, was promoted, for his Arctic services,
in 1849; but subsequently that officer, in command of
the boat expedition on the north coast of North America,
continuing the search, suffered privations unparalleled in
the history of Arctic service.
Commander Pullen was unsuccessful in penetrating to
Leopold Island. It was impossible for him to do so ;
but all that man could do he accomplished, and in his
small boats was subjected to dangers and accidents which
Commander Inglefield, in his amateur voyage, could not
have encountered. Moreover, Commander Pullen has
been in command of an Arctic ship for more than a year,
and we believe has served more than double the neces-
sary time for promotion,
" Secondly. Commander M'Clintoek has not only
served his time for his next step, but he has served more
in the Arctic regions than any other officer on the list.
He was recommended by Sir James Ross, but was
shamefully neglected ; and in Captain Austin's expedi-
tion, by his unprecedented exertions in travelling further
than any party had previously reached, he performed the
principal service of Captain Austin's expedition. This
officer has been in command of the screw-tender Intrepid
since February 10, 1852, in Sir E. Belcher's squadron,
and is held to have claims for advancement inferior to no
officer that has been promoted since the war.
" Lastly,"— Commander Forsyth is an officer who was
specially promoted for surveying, and other important
services he rendered at the Cape of Good Hope ; and the
log of the Prince Albert,, which vessel he commanded at
great personal and private sacrifice, that has been pub-
lished in the columns of the Morning Herald, although
not written in so florid a style as the narration of Com-
mander Inglefield's voyage of last year, has nevertheless
shown that he made one of the most extraordinary trips
to the Arctic Regions on record. He was alone in those
solitary regions a great portion of the time, and the in-
formation he contributed to the general history of the
search was as valuable, if not so interesting, as Com-
mander Inglefield's detailed account of his praiseworthy
proceedings.
Under all the circumstances, therefore, we are quite
sure that the service and the public will agree with us in
opinion, that, although Commander Inglefield may be
entitled to encouragement and advancement, yet it
would be unjust to Commanders Pullen, M'Clintock,
and Forsyth to promote him before those officers.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE.

CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD.

The half-yearly meeting of proprietors took place
yesterday, as the Euston Terminus ; Mr. Peto, M.P.,
in the chair.

From the report, which was read by the secretary, it
appeared that the total income of the railway for the
half-year ending December 31, 1852, amounted to
97,8091. lie. 6d., that of the corresponding half-year in
1851 having been 85,347/. 6s. 7d.; while the charges in the
former period amounted to 55,0021. ss. 10d. and in the
latter to 40,7821. ss. 4d. Under the head of steam-
boats the receipts in the half-year of 1852 were 8,734/.
ss. 7d., and the charges 7,3981. 2s. 7d. ; in that of 1851
the receipts were 9,9511. is. Bd., and the expenses
6,8051. 12s. id. In the last half-year the number of
passengers was 307,257, the tonnage of goods 103,264;
in the corresponding period of 1851, these items were
respectively 252,743 and 90,513. The gross increase
of receipts from traffic was, the report said, 11,2451.
Bs. 10d., the increase on the railway being 12,462/.
4s. 11d., of which a portion must be attributed to the
opening of the line from Bangor to Carnarvon. A de-
crease of 1,2161. 16s. ld. appeared on the steam-boat re-
ceipts, but the comparison as respected 1851 was with a
period during which the attractions of the Great Exhibi-
tion were drawing an unusual number of passengers to
London : compared with the proceeds of 1850, the re-
sults 'were satisfactory. The increase of expenditure
during the half-year amounted to 14,220/. ; but under
this head were included two items, which did not appear
in the corresponding entry for 1851, being the amount
estimated to be payable to the Bangor and Carnarvon
Company, and the extraordinary charges in opening the
Irish merchandise traffic. With respect to the latter
item the directors, with the view of developing the re-
sources of the line, had resolved to extend to goods
traffic the system of through booking, which had here-
tofore been confined to passengers. In carrying out
their views the directors had received cordial co-opera-
tion from the London and North-Western Board, but
not from the directors of the City of Dublin Steam
Packet Company. The accounts showed a gross balance
to the credit of revenue of 44,746/. 4s. ld. ; or, deduct-
ing 23,7731. 10s. 6d. as interest due on debentures, a
net balance of 20,9721. 13s. 7d. ; from which the direc-
tors recommended that a dividend of Bs. 3d. per share
should be declared on the first preference shares, payable
on and after the 21st instant, and that the balance
should be earned over to the next half-year.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re-
port, said during the last half-year the directors had
steadily applied themselves to what muskultimately, in
their judgment, tend to the full development of the re-
sources of the undertaking. With regard to the Irish
traffic, they had made a commencement ; and although
it had been attended with difficulties—he referred espe-
cially to the difficulties which arose from the want of
cordial co-operation on the part of the City of Dublin
Steam Packet Company—he would not dwell upon the
subject, because his doing so might widen the breach.
It was the desire of the directors that the three directo-
rates should act harmoniously for the benefit of those
whom they represented ; and as far as the North
Western Company was concerned, he saw nothing
which was likely to interrupt cordial co-operation. The
slate traffic already amounted to an average, of 1,000 tons
per week, or upwards of 50,000 tons a year ; and they
were only prevented from obtaining a very large increase
by the circumstance that the quarries with which they
were then in contract were insufficient to supply the large
demand upon them. The local goods traffic and the
Irish traffic were also increasing ; and the fact that, i
during the present year, up to the sth of March, the
gross increase of traffic on the line exceeded 7,0001.,
showed that some of the seed sown, and the charge for
which had fallen so heavily on the revenue of the last
half-year, was beginning to tell in the fruits which they
were reaping. (Hear, hear.) During the present half-
year the directors anticipated considerable benefit from
the exertions which were being made in Dublin in con- ,
nection with the Exhibition ; and they were prepared,
in conjunction with the London and North-Western
board, to give every possible facility for visiting Ireland
while the Exhibition was open. They also contem-
plated making similar arrangements to those made last
year with respect to the tourist traffic, with many ex-
tensions. The debenture interest would in future
exhibit a considerable decrease. He was happy to tell
the meeting that during the last half-year all the de-
bentures which fell in were renewed at 3i, 31, or 4 per
cent. ; and as the previous average was 5 per cent., a
considerable saving under that head might now be
anticipated. A vacancy in the auditorship would have
to be supplied, in consequence of the death of Mr. John
Prevost ; and the directors recommended that it should
be filled by a gentleman who resided near the line, and
would be able, therefore, to carry on a continuous audit
from month to month. He had nothing to and, unless
it was that as the traffic' had largely increased in the
past year, so the directors anticipated a still larger in-
crease in the present year; and that they were deter-
mined to persevere in their efforts for the removal of
difficulties, until the traffic of the entire line had been
fully and fairly developed.
A PROPRIETOR inquired why the dividend was to be
only Bs. 3d., when the balance would give 9s. 9d. ?
The CHAIRMAN said the directors would leave the
question to the meeting.
A motion was then carried for declaring a dividend of
98. 9d. ; and, with that alteration, the report was adopted.
The retiring directors were re-elected ; and Mr. E.
Humble, of Liverpool, chosen auditor in the room of
Mr. Prevost, deceased.

The meeting terminate(' with the usual vote of thanks
to the chairman.
