NORTHERN Ex PEntrIoNT.—A paragraph haying appeared
in our Chronicle of Thursday last, relating to the Northern dis-
covery ships, which expressed anxious wishes for their safety and
ultimate success, and proposing various plans towards ascertain-
ing their progress or position, and affording them every assistance
in case it should be found requisite, it is necessary to static that
one probability of their success in obtaining a passage through
some inlet on the north-west of Hudson's Bay, towards the Polar
Sea, is from their not having been heard of by any of the traders
from that part of the world. Another probability is, if the archipe-
lago of islands continues from Melville Island towards llehring's
Straits, so as to have kept back the pressure of the Polar ice
towards the South upon the northern parts of America, it
inayhave afforded a sailing passage. As all canoe traffic is
narrowly circumscribed, and it islands, shoals, or circumstances
kept them more off land, there was but little chance of Capt.
Franklin hearing of them ; yet, all the points he had visited,
or from whatever he could learn, there was at the time he
was on the coast a clear open sea. Again, if they could not
succeed in the first year in finding a passage to the Pacific,
they naturally would (rather than be discouraged by any
apparently temporary impediment) pass another frozen win-
' ter where they were thus stopped. Their vessels are con-
structed Upon the strongest principle, having been expressly
built for, and having Carried each, an 18. inch mortar at the
Pattie of Algiers ; they are, in addition, strengthened by
having above six feet of solid timber strongly bolted on
their bows, which arc well fended with the best wrought
iron ; and an outward defence all round their sides, above
and below their viater-niark, of a line of strong planks,
a foot thick, to resist the concussion and pressure of the ice.
Besides their original complement of every possible necessary,
the Nautilus transport, which accompanied them as far as the
ice at the entrance of Hudson's Straits, there delivered to them
above 20 additional chiddrons of coals, with numemas bullocks,
sheep, and hop. At the frozen season;' the deer and other
animals conic in great quantities towards the sea; and when
the water is open, there are the finest fish all along the coasts ;
these opportunities of gaining fresh supplies must be of' the
greatest advantage to their health. ' M'or make these state.
ments to allay those apprehensions which the want of' Intelli.
genre from the expedition must naturally create.—( Sofa/lamp
ton County Chronicle.)

The I.OltD LIEUTENANT'S Reply to the town
of Newry contains the following passage :--
cc My primary ambition is, to realize to Ireland
the benevolent wishes of his MAJESTY, and of his
Government ; and in the pursuit of this noble
and glorious object—while I acknowledge, with
gratitude and atTection, the general approbation
of this honourable and generous nation—the
course (Amy Government cannot be changed by
any partial instances (however outrageous and
vindictive) of dissatisfaction and lawless vio-
lence."

SALE OF Ws. Do NATTY'S EFFITTS.—On Wed-
nesday the leasehold property of this unfortunate person was
sold at the Auction 'rlart, by order of Grottos: Maur.E, Esq.
as administrator on behalf of the Crown On this occasion
there was a very numerous assemblage, composed of those who
were induced from curiosity to he present, and others who
conceived it a proper opportunity for advantageous speculation.
At the commencement some interesting discussion took place
as to the validity of the title of Government in the event of an
heir to the estate preferring a claim ; but these objections were
overruled by the auctioneer, .31r. Oat:mann, who detailed the
illegitimacy of the ill-fated woman, the nature of her con-
nexion with the late Mr. Donatty, and the purchase of the re-
version from the relatives named in his will, which explanation
had the effect of substantiating it, and removing all attempt
of depreciating the value. The estate eonsiated of three lots ;

bean realized by the hammer for similar concerns. The house.

resided, and which, with the produce of the sale of this day,

sale-room, the valuable stock of plate and jewellery, belonging
to Mr.'ruck, of the IlaYnnu-ket, sold by direction of his as.
signets, by Mr. Stevens, obtained good prices, chiefly through
a competition of the trade; as did also an excellent collection of
carvings and curiosities by Mr. Williams; while an excellent
assortment of plated and fancy articled, toy Mr. Fisher, and
scarce and well-bound modcrri books, by Mr. Taylor, were dis-
posed of at a very low rate.
