CAPTAIN AUSTIN'S EXPEDITION
2'o THE EDITOR OF THE SUY.
received a letter from a friend of
mine, who is an officer in Captain Austin's expedi-
tion, I send you herewith a copy of the same, end
should you be pleased to insert it in your paper you
are perfectly at liberty to do so.
I am, Sir, yours very obediently,
Falmouth, Sept. 13, 1851. J. 0.

" 11.M.5.-, Griffith's Island, Barrow's Straits,
let. 74 deg. 36 N., long. 95 deg. 15 W.,
July 4, 1851.
"My dear -: A mere po:sibility of this ever
reaching you has induced me to put a few lines on
paper, that should you ever get it, you might at once
be satisfied of my health and comfort, as also, I am,
happy to say, of the whole of the expedition, which
are now present with us, having spent our winter to-
gether.
"I shall merely put two or three heads of the work
together, that you may see our chances.
"Last year we only succeeded in getting as far as
this place, and being suddenly frozen in we were all
compelled to winter together. We have been here
since 16th September, 1850. Previous to that, how-
ever, we succeeded in finding the winter quarters of
poor Franklin and his ships at Beechy Island, in the
mouth of the Wellington Channel. To this moment,
however, all further traces have ceased, leaving the
affair in even worse mystery than before. They were
all right in May, 1846, by evidence at Beechy Island.
"Captain Penny's (the merchant expedition under
the Admiralty) are about sixteen miles to the east-
ward of ue, and Sir James Ross's schooner is in
company with them, where they have been for the
winter.
" The most extensive scale of travelling in search
of the poor fellows has been put in practice this
spring that has ever been by Europeans, on their
own resources only. The last party under cur
first lieutenant has this day arrived, having
been out eighty-one days, and been round the
west end of Melville Island, a distance, there and
back, of nearly 800 miles round ; 400 miles of coast
has been done to the southward, on which side I have
been myself. All the sledges were alike in provi-
sions, &c., with six or seven men and an officer each,
and 40 days' provisions ; I was out with mine 31
days. Both sides of Barrow's Straits have therefore
been searched on foot, and Captain Penny has done
the same with Wellington Channel for 200 miles on
the west side nearly, and 130 or 140 on the east, still
nothing has been found whatever.
I suppose there is no alternative but to return now ;
if so, I shall see you almost as soon as you get this,
if not before, as the season seems pretty fair for
getting out ; hut still it is very possible that the Com-
modore will keep us out another y ear; however, of
course we are in the dark as to that yet, he most pro-
bably not knowing himself.
This note 'will be sent to Pond's Bay to see if we
can meet whalers, who will take it home.
Oar winter of six months slipped by us as if it
was six weeks, and all were right ccmfortable.
Spring has kept us fully employed travelling, &c.,
and the summer is now on us, and a few weeks must
settle whether we go home or not ; there is, I believe,
not one in the squadron who longs not for that home
+his year, still„ there is none among them would
sooner stop out than myself, did our Commodore
think anything more could be done, but I must say I
am afiaid there is not o:.e who has the slightest hope
of our rescuing our poor countrymen, who must,
poor fellows, have perished long ere this.
There has been scarcely a casualty among our tra-
vellers, and not one during the time we have been
out otherwise, thus having kept in extraordinary
health, and I may add comfort.
I remain yours, &e.,

DEATH or MR. W. WEST, F.R.S.—We regret
to announce the death of our scientific fellow-townsman, Mr.
W. West, the celebrated analytical chemist. Mr. West died
on Wednesday last, in the 59th year of his age. For his
scientific attainments he was a few years ago elected a
fellow of the Royal Society, an honour of which ho was not
a little proud. He was a man of varied attainments, and as
an intelligent member of the Leeds Philosophical and
Literary Society, the West Riding Geological and Polytechnic
Society, and other kindred institutions, he will be much
missed. He was a member of the Society of Friends, and
of rather eccentric habits.--Leeds Intelligencer.
BATTY'S Huropaoms.-0,1 Wednesday last, the
boys of the Naval Asylum were afforded a rich treat, by
the
kindness of Mr. Batty in allowing them gratuitous admission
to his new place of amusement, at Kensington ; and in order
to prevent any obstacle being raised to their attendance, he
generously and regardless of expense, made it a day fete, ex-
pressly for them_ This is not the first or second time this
kind-hearted gentleman has shown his regard for the boys
from which both. the naval and military portion of our &-
I fenders are to be recruited (the Chelsea boys having also
experienced his liberality), but, independent of these circum-
stances, the Hippodrome is decidedly one of the best and
most rational places of amusement in London, and no coun-
tryman can say he has seen its lions, if he does not pay a
visit. As the building was opened on the same day as the
Exhibition, it is the intention of the proprietor to close it at
the same time ; and as that period is uow drawing to a
close ; and, like its neighbour, its future existence is a matter
of speculation, we would advise all who have not done so to
pay a visit; those who have, we are certain, are sure to re-
peat it on every occasion they have time to spare.—Kentish

THE POTATO DISEASE.—BRISTOL, SATURDAY.—
Accounts received this week from the surrounding district
represent, we regret to say, that the potato crop, which
would otherwise have been, like the cereal crops generally,
most abundant, has been much infected by the potato
disease. In the potatoes even already dug many that before
appeared quite sound have gone quite rotten in 48 hours.
Complaints are general about Thornburg and other dis-
tricts of Gloucestershire. Since Friday last the disease has
made its appearance at Weston-super-Mare, Worle, Ax-
bridge, Cheddar, Berrow, and, indeed, almost every pariah
in that part of Somersetshire.
Earl Grey tirrived in town on Friday, from Lord
Minto's seat at Hawick, and will remain until he proceeds to
Scotland to attend upon her Majesty on her return from the
north. His Lordship was at the Colonial-office on Saturday
up to a late hour in the evening.
THE ROYAL FAMILY AT OSBOIVNE.—ThP three
junior members of the Royal Family that now reside at Os-
borne—namely, the Princess Helena, the Plincess Louis;?,
and Prince Arthur, attended by Lady Caroline Barrington
and Colonel Berkeley Drummond, have taken advantage of
the very fine weather to make excursions in tc, Solent on
hoard the Royal yacht tender the Fairy, Master-h Commander
Welch, under the guidance of Captain Crispin. Oa Satur-
day, the Fairy proceeded with the Royal children on board
along the shore of the Isle of Wig-lit, as tar as the Nab light-
vessel. After re-landing the Royal party at Osborne the
Fairy returned into Portsmouth Harbour.
HER MAJESTY'S PRIVATE BAN D• Our readers

will feel much pleasure in hearing that her MPjesty ha:

chosen Mr. Joseph Richardson as pi:incipal flute in her pre
vate band. This appointment may be hailed as a good one,
and as au assurance that real talent in an Englishman is
appreciated, and the more especially when it is known that
there are numbers of foreigners of high standing as artistes
who were most anxious to secure the situation for them-
selves. It. is undersTood that at one of the concerts given
some short time since by her Majesty Mr. Richardson's
performances on the flute obtained far him the marked ap-
plause of the Queen and Prince Albert, and it is not un-
likely that the appointment may have arisen from that cir-
cumstance.
ARRIVAL OF THE RIGHT REV. DR. GRANT, THE
DESIGNATED ROMAN CATHOLIC BISHOP OP SOUTHWARK.
Yesterday morning, at an early hour, the doors of the St.
George's Roman Catholic Cathedral, Southwark, were lite.
rally beseiged by persons ansious to witness the relic ot the
true cross, which was carried in grand procession for the
veneration of the faithful, being the Feast of the Exaltation
of the Cross, the precious relic being entrusted to the Rev.
Dr. Doyle, who performed high mass, assisted by the Rev.
Fathers Cotter and Bag.shaw, attended by fifty of the choir,
when the sermon was preached by the designated Roman
Catholic Bishop of Southwark, the Right Rev. Dr. Grant,
who performed mass at halt-past eight o'clock in the morn-
ing, he having arrived from Rome late on Saturday
evening,
and taken up his residence for the present t . George's
Roman Catholic Cathedral, where the friends and admirers of
the Right Rev. Dr. Grant will have the opportunity of hear-
ing him on Sunday morning next, at the same place. A car-
ing of priests called in the course of the dav
on the right rev. gentleman, and it is expected that a
synoll
will be held in the course of a few days. Hew long will such
processions as these of the relics of the true cross be wised'?
Can such things be, and pass without our wonder ?_Adze.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sir,—As far as it was possible to ascertain at nine
o'clock this morning, the following are the starters for
to-morrow's races:—Great Yorkshire Handicap—Cos-
sack, Vatican (d), Alonzo, Candlewick, Miss Ann, Post
Tan:pore, Panope, Oxford Blue, Chief Justice, The
Sweep, Young Altisidora, Clarissa,Castle, The Calcu-
lator, Knock Knoll (d), Antigone, Miss Julia Bennett
colt, Truo Blue (d), and Miss Whip colt. Champagne
Stakes—Augur, Bay Rosalind, Blackt:tene, Caracara,
Claverhouse (d), Wryneck colt, Daniel O'Rourke,
Home-brewed, lievry Monarch filly, Prince Patrick,
and, perhaps, Vortex. Stand Plate—Maid of
Team Valley (ti), Brennus, Tom Holtby, Hun-
gerford, Miss Fanny, and Lady of the Grove.
Oxford Blue and Melody at the present writing very
dubious. A great many horses have arrived at the
scene of action, including Day's, Kent's, Parr's, Wad-
low's, Stebbing's, Walter's, Scott's and Lumley's lots;
Sir Joseph Hawley's, consisting of The Ban, Aphrodite,
Tho Confessor (d), Vatican (d), Teddington, and an-
other or two, are hourly expected. The latest amounts
respecting the St. Leger report the following as the
probable starters, viz.:—Lough Bawn, Clasher, Crzeus,
Bippolytus, Exeter, Tho Ban, Aphrodite, Hernandez,
First Fruits, Newminster, The Calculator, Lamar-
tine, colt by Charles the Twelfth, Miserrima, Knook
Knoll, Ephesus, and Goliab. Heart-breaker and
Azeth are doubtful. Bonnie Dundee, The
Prime Minister, Balsamo, Hothorpe, Grecian, Con-
fidence, Mountain Deer, Storm, Sir Rowland Trenchard,
with about ninety others of no account, are on the miss •
ing list. My opinion on to-morrow's races remains un-
altered; CALCULATOR and Cossack, first and second for
the Great Yorkshire Handicap; Bay Rosalind and
Home•brewed in the first two places, with Augur, Prince,
Patrick, and Vortex close up, for the Champagne
Stakes; and in the absence of Oxford Blue, Little Fawn
or Brennus, to carry off the Stand Plate. The St. Leger,
as I have before remarked, lies between three—Sir Jo-
seph's couple and Hernandez; The Ban, from the amount
of money going " on," seemingly THE horse. My
final remarks on this race to-morrow, when I hope
the fickle goddess will favour me with my usual
success. The betting market this morning is uncom-
monly brisk ; the investments numerous and heavy, at
the following prices:—Great Yorkshire Handicap-7 to
2 agst the Calculator; 5 to 1 agst Cossack; 7 to 1 sgst
Clarissa, taken freely; 8 to 1 agst Miss Ann; 10 to 1
each egst Antigone and Candlewick; 15 to 1 agst Miss
Julia Bennett colt. Champagne Stakes-6 to 4 agst

Daniel O'Rovvke. St. Leger-7 to 4 agst Hernandez,
take 2 to 1; 3 to 1 agst the Ban, 7 to 2 taken to 4001.;
5 to 1 egst Aphrodite, offered; 10 to 1 agst Newmin-

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.
Mr. Lumley is conducting his great establishment
in a spirit worthy of the Exhibition year. Another
four nights, at play-house prices, are announced, the
management having come to this resolution for the
very good reason that the house was last week
crowded to the ceiling, every place in fact on every
day of performance having been taken prior to the
opening of the house, and seats, in consequence of the
demand, having risen to, in many instances, not in-
considerable premiums. The inference is that thou-
sands of country and continental visitors must have been
gratified by a spectacle which they could not other-
wise have beheld, and which certainly forms one
of the things which, es the guide-books say, all visi-
tors positively must see. We noticed last week the
tact and enterprise with which each evening's
amusement was arranged, so as to give the audience
a taste at least of as many musical and choreographic
dishes as possible, the bill of fare nightly varying,
but always agreeing in assembling as many differently
characterised and coloured v.orks, interpreted by as
many artists of differing styles and specialties, as pos-
sible. During this week, as in the last, Mesdames
Sontag, Barbieri Nini, and Cruvelli will nightly ap-
pear—a trio seldom to be seen on one occasion, and
under the same artistic roof. The management, in
fact, are quite cramming a season into their few sup-
plemental nights, and we are glad to hear that the
monetary results of the experiment are as gratifying
as the providing of so much intellectual amusement
at so cheap a rate ought to make them.

THE BLOOMERS AGAIN.
YesterLy (Sunday) considerable sensation and amuse-
ment was occasioned to the numerous visitors in St.
James's-park, by tho arrival of a complete bitch of
113cotner5, consisting of five females and two males, evi-
dently moving iu the upper class of society. Two of the
ladies were French women. They were certainly most
el,gantiy attired, all the ladies being dressed
wore, with
the the exception of the French women, who
trousers, whilst those of our own country women were
pink. The upper dresses (coats we suppose they call
them) were of rich brocade satin, and the covering for
the head a sort of cross between a bonnet and hat, as it
did not partake more of one article than the other.
The only difference observable in the gentlemen's attire
was very short coats, somewhat resembling Prince Al-
bert's shell jacket. The new style of dress did not ap-
pear to be agreeable to the mob, for the Bloomers had
scarce made their appearance before they were assailed
with en unlimited quantity of coarse jokes from the by-
standers, who, after inquiring whether their mothers
knew they were out? Where they kept their flannel
petticoats ? and other similar salutations, caused the
Bloomers to beat a hasty retreat into Waterloo-place,
where the ladies entered a carriage that was waiting for
them, and the gents walked off. The ladies were between
20 and 30 years of age, and of very prepossessing ap-
pearance. It was stated they had come to the park to
hear the band play.

FOREIGN YACIIVL—There are at present yachts
belonging to no less than three f,reign nations lying in
Portsmouth harbour, with their respective national colours
flying. A French cutter yacht of 60 tons, belonging to the
Duo 6e Caylus ; a Neapolitan schooner yacht of 220 tons;
and a Russian schooner yacht of 1 0 tons.
AN AGED AND HAPPY COUPLE.—John Bodle,
aged 86, and Jane, his wife, aged 96, are now living on
Sydtnham Common, Kent. He possesses a donkey that as-
sists in aff,rdi.tg him an ample maintenance, aged 26, and
all three were ban on the Common. Their united ages are
208 years. and the old man, free from want or the prospect of
ending his days in a poor-law union, walked on Saturday to
the Greenwich Police-court to prove the service of a legal
• notice.
