BRITISH EXPLORING EXPEDITION TO THE
SOUTH POLE.

The following is an extract of a letter received at
Lloyd's, from their agent at Hobart Town, dated April
17, 1841 :
"By the last list you will have perceived the return to
this port of her Majesty's ships Erebus and Terror,
Captains Ross and Crosier. Nothing official has as yet
transpired here, but it is generally understood that the
expedition has been very successful, and that it pro-
ceeded eleven degrees lower south than the Astrolabe
a Zele, and four degrees more than any other vessel has
ever yet reached ; that they were enabled to fix the
exact position of the south magnetic pole at about one
hundred miles distant from them, and that some ex tra-
ordinary mistake appears to have affected the calCulation
of the Americans who approached these regions."

It is said that Peel has agreed to give Lou]
Londonderry the Russian embassy, to reward him for
his previous disappointments, and for the services he has
since rendered to his party. WE know that ford Lon-
donderry has long been looking. to this appointment
indeed, that he has been working for it. it was by the
Noble Marquis's machinations, by his busy representa-
tions and disinterested counsels, that the late Tory fight
was got up in this county, and with such honourable and
brilliant success. Twenty-five thousand pounds were
spent in South Durham in an endeavour to purchase a
seat for Mr. Farrer ; and other means, equally credita-
ble, every where resorted to. The hope of Wynyard—
Lord Seaham---a youth who never before took to any
more serious occupation than catching flies—came ex-
pressly from London -" to manage the interests of his
family," " to give directions to the Wynyard tenantry'
on Mr Farrer's behalf. By these exertions the Tory can-
didate. succeeded in approaching within 800 votes of Mr
Bowes, whom ho was enlisted by Lord Londonderry to
supplant.--Gateshead Observer.
