NARRATIVE OF A VOYAGE TO THE

SOUTH SEAS, S6-c.—Lo.vvo.v, 1832.
SV CHARLES M. GOODRIDGE.

This book contains a most curious narrative of

the shipwreck of the writer and his companions
upon one of the Crozet islands, in the South Seas,
and their solitary resi'lence there for two years.
These islands are completely destitute of human
inhabitants ; and as the shipwrecked crew were
without fire-arms of any description, and almost
without a tool, they were much more put to

their shifts than ever Robinson Crusoe was.
After some account of his previous life, which
was that of a common sailor, he describes his
voyage to the South Seas, the mode of sealing,
and, finally, the wreck of the vessel. It is-here
that " the interesting part," as we used in our
childhood to call the shipwreck of Robinson
Crusoe, begins, and here we will venture upon
a few extracts. Having saved themselves in the
boat on the day of the wreck, the writer says—

" On the following morning we succeeded in launching
our heat, and we thin proceeded towards the wreck. In
our progress we discovered a cove muck nearer the vessel

ltanwhere we landed, and we resolved to make this our
rnmediate station.

" We next visited the wreck, and succeeded, the first
day, in saving the Captain's chest, the Mates' chest, and
also several planks. On the following day, the 20th of
March, we picked up her trisail, and some casks of bread;
the casks however, nut being water tight, the bread was
all spoilt by the salt water.

" The last thing we saved on this day, and which we
found floating on the water, was, what proved the most
invaluable of gifts,—it was the identical bible put on board
by Captain Cux, the agent of the Merchant Seaman':
Bible Society, at Gravesend, on our sailing out of the river
Tuamcs, as before mentioned.
Ott the next day the wind Hew very strong, and we
saw to our sorrow, that nothing remained of our vessel
but the mast, which had become entangled by the rigging

among the rocks, and this was the last thing we
.were
enabled to secure. '
" The weather continued so wet and boisterous forlhree
weeks from this time, that it was as much as we could
well do to procure necessary food for our sustenance, and
we therefore contented ourselves with the shelter our boat,
tutu «1 up, afforded us during that period ; the weather
now proving less inclement, and our minds being some.
what more reconciled to our forlorn situation, we set
about collecting all the materials we had saved, and then
commenced erecting for ourselves a snore commodious
dwelling-place. The sides we formed of stones and the
wood saved from the wreck, for there was not a shrub or
tree growing in the whole island ; the top we covered
with Sea Elephant's skins, and at the end of a few weeks
we were comparatively well-lodged. We made our beds
of a long grass, with which the island abounded ; and the
skins of the Seals we chanced to kill, served us for sheets,
blankets, and counterpanes.
" Having saved some of our hunting weapons, the Sea
Elephants, from their great tameness, became an easy prey,
and they served us for meat, washing, lodging, firicg,
candle-light, shoe-leather, sowing thread, grates, and
tobacco-pipes. The parts we made use of for food were
the heart, tongue, the tender parts of the skin ; the scatters,
(a sort of fleshy skin which hangs over the nose,) and the
flippers, (a sort of fin, which assists the animal in swim-
ming.) The blood served for snap to wash with, as it
quickly removed either dirt or grease, and was easily
rinsed out in clean water, of which there is a plentiful
supply in these islands. The skins, as I have before stated,
served us for roofing, and might therefore be well said to
furnish us with lodging ; of the skins also we used to
form our shoes or mogissins, when we were out of King
Penguin's skins, or wished to make a more durable article
for wear ; and these we used to sew together with thongs
funned from their sinews. Their teeth we used to form
into the bowls of pipes, and to this we used to attach the
leg-bone of some water fowl, and together it formed a
good apparatus. Having no tobacco, we used as a sub-
stitute the dried grass, that grew on the island, and al.
though it was but a poor substitute, we were obliged to
be satisfied with it.

" Of Sea Elephant's blubber we made our fires, and
their bones we used to lay across, on some stones, to form
grates to lay the blubber on. Of a piece of blubber also,
with a piece of rope yarn stuck in it, we formed our
candles, and it produced a very good light. These ani-
mals are, I consider, a species of Walrus, but are very
different from those described by naturalists ; at least in
such works as I have had an opportunity of examining,
among others Shaw's Zoology, Wood's ditto, Mayor's
Natural History, &c.
" The largest Elephants are about twenty-five feet Imm,
and twenty-eight feet round, and their blubber was fre-
quently seven or eight inches thick, and would yield a ton
of oil.

" Our cookery consisted principally of soup, comprised
of the different parts of the Sea Elephant enumerated,
with the addition of eggs instead of vegetables or bread.
To this we frequently added the brains of the animal,
which was almost as sweet as sugar, and was frequently
eaten by us in its raw state.

The only kind of veaetable on the island, besides grass,
was a plant resembling a cabbage in appearance, but we
found it so bitter that we could make no use of it."

There is a very full, though not a scientific
account of the birds that frequented the islands.
The description of one called the King Pen-
guin is curious.

" Their size is about that of a goose ; their rookeries, in
some places as much as a mile and a half in circumference,
are situated on the low swampy beaches, where the fresh
water running from the mountains, causes it to be con-
tinually wet; but this, as they make no nest, is of no
inconvenience to them. They are very handsome birds,
the colour of their necks being a mixture of red, yellow,
and purple, their backs gray, and their breasts white.
They lay but one egg, which they carry in a pouch under
their bellies, very similar to the pouch in which Kan-
garoos carry their young. In this pouch it remains dur-
ing the period of incubation, which is about 7 weeks.
Their flesh is not good fur food, but we used to make use
of their eggs, of which we robbed them, and this they
would permit us to do, without making the least resist-
ance, being so tame that we could catch them with our
ha❑ds, or knock them down with a stick, whenever we
felt disposed. When robbed of their egg, they would lay
again. They commence laying in November, and by de-
priving them of their eggs, they continued to lay till
March. Their feathers are very short, and their cry re-
sembles the hallooing of a human voice. They have no
wings, but have instead what are tem:if flippers, which
they make me of in swimming. This is also the charac-
teristic of all the four species of Penguins. Their posture
when walking is quite erect, but their gait is awkward. At
a distance they have the appearance of a number of young
ch Wren, in white aprons. Of the skins of the King
Penguins, we used to form a sort of buskin, by turning
the feathers inward, and drawing them tight over our feet.
They were very comfortable, but not very durabe, for by
our excursions over the mountainous and rocky parts of
the Island, a few hours tramp would wear them completely
out."

We have also a singular confirmation of the
assertion that wild animals, as they are called,
have no fear of man till he has injured them.
Not only did Goodridge and his companions
knock down birds and beasts with clubs without
trouble when they first landed, but killed fish in
a way we never heard of before.

" The fish we used to catch were much like the Gurnet,
only somewhat larger—and they made a very pleasant
change in our diet. I had forgotten to mention, that
when we first took up our residence on the Island, we had
recourse to this kind of food. At that time we used to
kill them with our clubs. Our practice was to take long
strips of the Sea Elephant's blubber, and lay it close to the
wa!er's edge, and the fish were so tame that they would
creep up the shelving rocks after the blubber, while we
stood by and knocked them on the head. They had,
however, in course of time, become so shy that they were
not to he taken in this way, and our new contrivance,
therefore, as a substitute for hooks, proved very useful ;
and fish, flesh, and fowl frequently smoked on our hoard
at the same time."

The history of their building a vessel with
timber, most providentially thrown in their way,
for there are no trees upon these islands, their
seal-Flin sails, &c. we cannot enter into, any
more than their ultimately being rescued from
their desolate situation by an American vessel.
Upwards of half the volume is occupied with an
account of an eight years' residence in Van Die-
men's Land, where the author appears to have
been getting on very prosperously, when letters
from home induced him to return. The statis-
tical part of the work is, we believe, tolerably
correct, being copied from the Hobart Town
Almanack. We must add, however, as a cau-
tion to persons contemplating emigration, that
however useful to them this work may prove in
other respects, they must not rely upon what is
said about the terms of granting land, which have
been recently changed. The volume is on the
whole exceedingly interesting.

The sewer now sinking in the Haymarket
affords ample proofs of the fine gravelly soil on which
London stands.

Authentic information was received yesterday,
by express, from Paris, importing that the King of PRUS•
siA's answer to the despatch forwarded by Baron \VER.-
TILER, the Prussian Ambassador at Paris, on the 14th of
September, respecting the Belgian and Dutch question, is
highly pacific ; that Prussia not only purposes to go hand
in hand with France and England, but also proposes to
compel Holland, should she continue refractory and in-
tractable, to pay to Belgium a monthly suns of one million
of florins for the maintenance of the Belgian troops, to be
deducted out of 8,000,000 florins per annum, which Bel-
gium was to pay to Holland, as her share of the interest
of the Dutch debt, and even to double this mulct after a
certain time, should the first attempt prove ineffectual,
besides blockading the Dutch ports—the Texel, Amster-
dam, Botterdiun, and Flushing, by an English and French
squadron, so as to cut cff all trade from and to Holland
without any fighting; this mode of proceeding being
deemed preferable to marching an army to Antwerp, and
exposing that city to a bombardment, which would be
liable to other objections. Besides, Lord DURHAM, who
is expected to arrive to-morrow via Calais, will bring
with him diplomatic notes in corroboration of these points,
unless his Lordship has transmitted them all eady by an
"avant courier." The King of HOLLAND must, by this
time, have received a similar reply from Berlin, in answer
to the application be made through Count Lustiottac DE
STYRDM, who was despatched from the Hague on the
18th of September.—Morning ,Paptr.

LONDON,
iTRURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 11, 1832.

The Revenue for the Quarter ended yester-
day, presents a very favourable return, amount.
ing to 696,847/. over the corresponding Quarter
of last year. In the Customs we were led to
expect a large increase in consequence of the
Corn Duties, but the public were not prepared
for so great an excess in the Excise—that surest
barometer of public comfort and prosperity, and
yet we have an increase of 297,591/. In the
taxes there is also an increase of 116,383/.,
which is clearly to be accounted for by the
clause in the Reform Act, making it imperative
on electors to pay their taxes and rates as a con-
dition of their eligibility to vote. The other
items in the revenue are on the wrong side of the
account. In stamps, though there is an increase of
44,2631. on the year, yet the decrease on the last
quarter is more than half the excess of the year,
being 23,9861. This must afford Lord AL-
THORP a convincing proof that the stamp duties
are too high in many particulars, especially on

. .
newspapers and advertisements. Indeed his
Lordship has much to answer for in this respect,

if he well recollect his own promises. But we
will not press him on this subject at present as
he deserves—a more fitting time is coming, when
it Will be out of his power to promise and not

perform.
In the Post-office there is a falling off of
33,000/. for the quarter, and 80,000/. for the
year, which may be accounted for by the great
check which the cholera morbus gave to in-
ternal correspo►:dence. At first the terror of the
people was so great, that they would hardly
touch any letters from infected places, even
though they were fumigated. But now that
feeling has so much abated, that the precaution
of fumigation is no longer considered necessary.

is not the only satisfactory
circumstance. -- , -
But the present large increase in the quar-
ter's
Nearly half a million has been
saved by the system - of economy recently intro-
duced into our expenditure, and when this prin-
revenue
ciple has been allowed ample time and fair play,
we may reasonably expect still further improve-
ment in our national resources. But certain taxes
which press heavily on industry must be modified,
and a
justly graduated property tax be imposed in-
stead. The cry of the Tories during the Reform
has constantly been—" property must
but let property also
'bterugge representedl ;"—so be it ;

be taxed. If the labourer be worthy of his
hire, it is but just that property should pay for
its protection.

We understand that Sir JOHN MILLEY
DOYLE, accompanied by his nephew Mr. 13-
DoYLE, as his Aide-de-Camp, will leave Fal-
mouth, for Oporto, by the next packet.

We have received a letter respecting the late
gallant feat of an illustrious Duke, which would
very much shake our faith, if we had ever re-
posed any, on the affidavits which were pub-
lished for the purpose of removing the belief
that "the galloping dreary Duke " had not been
guilty of the rudeness imputed to him by the
Misses PERFECT. Our Correspondent, after
giving us some curious information as to the
habits of the personage in question, and of his
complaisant friend and companion, Sir GEORGE
QUENTIN, a gentleman who was, we believe,
found equally convenient by his late Majesty,
desires us to ask the friends and affidavit con•
coctors of the illustrious Duke, whether an ar-
rangement has not for some time existed between
his Royal Highness and his man, by which the
latter may at all times be able to shield his
master from the obloquy which might be ex-
pected to attend certain visits of a peculiar na-
ture—whether, in fact, the Duke and his man
do not on particular occasions dress exactly alike,
and both ride white horses.

Our Correspondent, far from questioning the
morality of the affidavit makers, or the sincerity
of those respectable persons who have volun-
teered their testimony fur the purpose of esta-
blishing an alibi in favour of the Duke, chari-
tably supposes that all the parties may have been
mistaken, and that the Duke, on his return from
one of his grave rides to Brompton, was un-
intentionally guilty of the alleged offence, whilst
he was personated in Kew Gardens by his friend
Sir GEORGE QUENTIN. We do not offer an
opinion on the view taken by our Correspon-
dent, but we readily ask the friends of the Duke
to say whether he and Sir GEORGE ever dress
alike, and ride the same coloured horses ?
Whether the Duke was innocent of the
offence charged upon him or not, is, we think,
of little importance, compared with the course
which has been adopted with a view to establish
his innocence. There was nothing so serious
in the offence itself but that an apology might
have put an end to complaint, without dragging
forward so many affidavits; and suposing that
the offence never had existence, we must say
that the affidavit system is by far too serious a
course for exculpation. The Duke's advisers in
this affair must have been as mentally as he is
said to be physically short-sighted.

We refer to our City news for a rumour that
the King of HOLLAND has at length decided
for peace ! Better late than never, but who
will now believe him ?

An Express from Paris has brought the Pa-
pers of Tuesday, which, according to a Morning
Contemporary, " confirm the news of a consi-
derable improvement in the health of the King
of SPAIN, and give the list of some of the new
Spanish Ministerial changes. M. CA LOAI AR DE
has been dismissed in a way that implies dis-
grace. M. ZEA BERMUDEZ, now Ambas-
sador in this country, is recalled to Madrid, to
assume the office of Foreign Minister : he is to
be succeeded in the embassy here by Count
D'ALCUDIA. The other Ministers, Messrs.
ZAMBRANO, SALAZAR, and BALLASTEROS,
also withdraw, but are allowed to remain at Madrid
as Councillors of State. M. DUPIN was ex-
pected to be in Paris on Tuesday ; no progress
could be made in the formation of the new
Cabinet until his arrival. His friends continued
to be of opinion that it would be impossible for
him to agree with Marshal SOULT on any Mi-
nisterial " combination," and seemed to say,
that the Marshal thought so himself. The Con-
stitutionnel speaks of a new treaty of alliance
being in negotiation between Austria, Prussia,
and Russia, on the basis of the former " Holy
Alliance," and for the purpose of adopting the
most effective measures to stop the progress of
liberalism in Europe. Count Pozzo DI
BORGo's late journey to Berlin and Vienna are
said to have had reference to the negotiations
for such a treaty. The son of Marshal MAlsoN

has arrived in Paris from Vienna, and is said to
be the bearer of communications which are far
from satisfactory."

Dutch, Brussels, and Hamburg Papers have
been received to late dates. The movements of
Lord DURHAM form a principle feature in
them ; but as his Lordship has arrived in London,
and is now sitting in Cabinet Council, we will
not enlarge upon the speculations in these
Papers. To-morrow will very likely throw a
clearer light upon the result of his Lordship's
mission than can be gathered from foreign
journals. The age of protocolling, like that of
patronage, has departed, and promptitude is now
the order of the day:—

Bois LE Duc, OCT. 7.—The opinion that the French
Government will make its troops enter Belgium, seems to
be considerably less confident; and though there are ac-
counts that the Belgian troops in the provinces of Lim.
berg and Antwerp are daily reinforced, no hostile move-
ment is expected in that quarter. Meantime our troops,
as it seems, by way of precaution, remain in their present
concentrated positions.

THE HAGUE, OCT. 7.—Accounts from Batavia, of the
29th of May, state that the insurrection of the Chinese at
Poerwakarta may be considered as entirely quelled. The
inhabitants of Kruxvang had, for the most part, returned
to their homes, and the dispersed Chinese continued to be
t.ken and brought in by the inhabitants and the police.
The day before yesterday our Government received
despatches from London. It seems that the Conference
had not come to any decision, though it sits daily. There
is no longer any idea of coercive pleasures against Hol-
land, which France lately urged, and which appeared to he
approved, and not °nosed, by the Austrian and Prussian
Pltuipotentiaties.

Bltli E B.—Yesterday Lord Durham sent a
courier to London with his own despatches, and others
from Sir R. Adair. The courier was enjoined not to be
more than 18 hours on the road to Calais. Lord Durham
will set out for Calais to.day. Ile travels with six car-
riages, and requires 22 post horses.

Mr. Dendoit, a clerk iu the War-office, is gone to Paris
with despatches from our Government, which are said to
be important.
It is said that the head-porters of the army will Le

transferred to Molines, that General Huret will have the
command of the Ist division, end General Goethals of the
3d; General Olevier the let brigade of the 3d, and Ge-
neral Kenor the 2d brigade of the I st
The King had desired the Minister of War to offer the
command of the 4th division, instead of that of the re-
serve, in which be is superseded, to General Goethalas
but he has preferred the command of a brigade of his old
division, to remain with the troops that he well knows.
M. de Meulenaere is gone to Bruges ; Messrs. Genda-
bren and Rohanla Tulemans and Loop have refused the
judici ,1 offices to which they were nominated in the de-
cree for organization of the Courts of Justice. It is said
that there are several other refusals.

BRUSSELS, OCT. 9.—The King gave a private audience
to Lord Durham, who set out at four o'clock for London.
Before he d,pat ted he received numerous visit. He will
teach London before the meeting of the English Ministers,
which is fixed for the 11th.

A Russian Cabinet messenger, with despatches from
St. Peter•burgb to London, passed through here yester-
day. An English Cabinet messenger was despatched from
Brussels to London, and a courier from the English Le-
gation at the Hague passed through, also going to London-
NA mult, OCT. B.—We have just received accounta
from Rhenish-Prussia, which announce that the garrison
of Coblentz has been reinforced by two regiments of in-
fantry, that of Treves by one regiment, and that of
Sanclouis by a battalion. Orders have been received bY
the k.,epers of the forests to cut down all the fine oaks to
make pallisades for the fortress of Coblentz. Meanwhile
letters from the Rhenish provinces say, that the Prussian
Government has just made contracts for the supply of
army on the war establishment, to be ready against a
winter campaign.

The Me.tno;ia/ announces that Lord Durham has said
to several persons high in office, that the whole Belgium
territory would be evacuated by the Duch before the end
of October. We do not know whether there is any
foundation for this statement, but we can state, on the
other band, that Lord Durham has said, that at
the present moment the Emperor of Russia, the King
of Prussia, and he (Lord Durham) were the only person,
who knew the real position of the Belgian question, and
that Belgium would still find it necessary " to employ the
whole stock of patience she possesses." *—Brussels
Papers, October 11.
BERLIN, OCT. I.—Prince Paskewitsch left Warsaw►
on the 26th, to make a tour through part of the kingdom
of Poland. He was to be absent 10 days.
We hear that several cities in the Rhenish pro-
vinces have signified to the King their wish
that the new Municipal Ordinance may be in-
troduced among them, and have, on this occasion,
expressed much dissatisfaction with their deputies, who
did not immediately accept with gratitude this mark of
Royal favour. Travellers from the circle of Wigrow, in
Poland, relate that on the night of tl-e 20th there was 3
heavy fall of ,now, which lay above ten hours, and in shadi
places till the next day. In the fields it was above a foot
deep.
BERLIN, SEer. 2V.—lt is affirmed that in the mission
of Lord Durham the subject of Poland was not at all
or but very slightly treated upon. He brought letters
from the Emperor and Empress, which he delivered, and
was on that account received with great affability. Ile
breakfasted with the King at Potsdam the morning
that his Majesty set out for Toplitz. The most profound
secrecy has been observed respecting the journey of Charles
X. It is certain that the post houses have been ordered to
receive him with the greatest respect, but without noticing
his royal dignity. He goes to Jagan, then across the
Silesian mountains and Glatz to Moravia and to Gratz.
It is said our King will have a meeting with the Emperor
Francis at Toplitz.

HAMBURG, OCT. 3.—Count de Chambord (Duke Of
Bordeaux), attended by the Marquis de Damas and the
rest of his suite, set out to-day from Altona to go by way
of Berlin to Gratz. Charles X. (Count de Ponthieu)
and the Duke of Angouleme (Count Marne) will set out to-
morrow with their suite, including the Dukes de Blac,s
and Polignac, the Count de Grammont, &c.
BORSRN-HALLE, OCT. 5, HALF-PAST 2 P.M.—Very
low sales of wheat have been effected during the week,
the consumers not being willing to pay the price demanded
by holders.

From the 22d to the 29th of September 29 cargo-s of
corn passed the Sound, of these 4 were bound for British,
S for Dutch, and 17 for Norwegian ports.

* The Courier quotes those words in English,

The vagaries of the Tory and anti-commercial
Press, although sometimes calling for argument
to counteract their mischievous tendency, for the
most part excite only feelings of contempt and
pity. Occasionaily, indeed, an absurdity so
lu-
dicrous and harmless is put forth, that general
laughter is all that it meets with. Such will be
the fate of a leading article in to-day's Post.
Judge between us, readers.

" Captain Illarryat," quoth our Contemporary, hav-
ing definitively resolved to offer himself as a Candidate fur
the Tower Hamlets, was yesterday introduced to the elev.
tors at a highly re-pectable and very numerous meeting of
merchants and shipowners, that influential class being, to
a man, his cordial supporters. The opinions of the Gal-
lant Captain are avowedly liberal, but he utterly repudiate
the destructive tenets of the Reformers as to the Coro
Laws, West India Slavery, the Establi,htd Church, and
the Bank and East India Charters."

Our Contemporary's opinion of liberal opi-
nions must be curious; we should like to hear
his definition of a Liberal at the present moment.
The Gallant Captain may, profess, or avow, as
the phrase is to be, what opinions he pleases
but his address to the electors must be mightily
like that of the actor who announced SHAIC•
SPEARE'S play of Hamlet, the part of Hamlet
left out by particular desire. Having told us .
what Captain MARRYAT is not, the Post thtls
proceeds, certainly rather vaguely,
to inti
what he is: mate

‘, When we add to this that he has an extensive practical
knowledge of commerce and navigation, and is intimate!'
connected with those great and most important interests,
we think a more fit and proper representative for the
Tower Hamlets could not be selected. The general tone
of the meeting yesterday seemed to hold forth the fairest
prospect of his success."

We are impatient to see the Gallant Captain's
address to his constituents ; for it will require
considerable ingenuity in him to clothe his sen-
timents in language which will make them even
utterable. He may throw over them the cloak
of vague generalities, so that those unacquainted
with them may not perceive their deformities; but
if he attempt separately to dress them, curious
indeed must be their garb to prevent the most
shortsighted from observing, that, stripped of
their disguise, they are those of a Tory, that is,.
such as Tories now profess. At the meeting of
yesterday, referred to by the Post, Captain
MARRYAT was so unfavourably received, that
his profession of faith was not very distinctlY
heard, but as far as could be gathered, it W3B
such as the Post describes it. When the Gallant
Captain publishes it, we suppose that in plant
English it be- something to this effect
" Gentlemen—You arc all aware that I an'
avowedly a Liberal ; but there are certain destructive
tenets of the Liberals which I utterly repudiate,
and upon which I beg to express my opinions t°

you. You well know that the operation of the
corn laws has injured the growers of corn as
much as the rest of the community, and tha
they were never worse off' than they are at pre-
sent. The reasons of this are—that such an
uncertainty has been occasioned in the price of
corn, that the farmer is sure of nothing but his
outgoings, which he reduces to the lowest amount
by throwing the inferior lands out of tillage•
When the trade in corn was free, the price at
Dantzic was nearly as high as it is here, so that
there was little temptation to importation, which,
with the first reason I have mentioned, caused
only about a sixtieth part of our consumption to
be brought from abroad. Now, instead of a
sixtieth part of our consumption being im-
ported, we import about a tenth. Of course,
this has thrown a quantity of land out of cultiva-
tion, and labourers out of employ ; but as the
best land still produces a high rent, and land-
lords, for the most part, like to have their
ears tickled with the word protection,' I do
not see why you shipowners should not in-
dulge them, and continue to take advantage
of the employment given your ships by the in-
creased importation of foreign corn. Gentlemen,
I now come to the question of West Indian
Slavery. 1 his is a very difficult subject to le-
gislate upon, as a short illustration will satisfy
you. Two thieves once robbed a neighbour of
all he possessed, so that he was reduced to the
greatest state of misery and distress. The two
thieves afterwards set up in the world as shop-
keepers, and, dying, left their shops to their
children, who well knew how their fathers had
acquired their property. After a time the chil-
dren of one of the thieves repenting him of his
participation in his father's crime, threatened the
children of the other thief that, unless they made
restitution to the rightful owners, they would
inform against them. The latter then said
that those who had turned honest ought to com-
pensate those who still wished to retain their
father's ill-gotten wealth. Now, Gentlemen, this
is the question between the West Indians and
ourselves. I must confess that having been to
the West Indies, and seen how difficult it is to
legislate for the negroes, I have come to the con-
clusion that we having legalised, as far as we are
concerned, the traffic in slaves, have no right to
sacrifice those who have acted upon the faith of
our legislation. We have been both wrong,
and we must the both stiffer. My friends
Liberals want to prepare the slaves for
freedom by educating them. Now, although
this is a doctrine °of liberalism, I have
no objection to it, because it is clear that the
West Indians will thereby, besidestheir compen-
sation, get free labourers, who will in a few years
cultivate their land at a cheaper rate than it is
now done b. , .

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY EVENING. —The fears expressed
in the communication of last evening have been painfully
realized to-day. The storm, the sudden coming on of
which was mentioned yesterday, and which drove a num-
ber of vessels on shore, has, unhappily, destroyed much
property and many valuable lives. Among the ships
which put to sea yesterday was the William Nelson, for
New Orleans. Lying near the entrance to the harbour,
she was, by the aid of a steam-boat, towed out to sea more
than two hours before the time of high water. She had
even got clear of the banks before the gale commenced,
and it was hoped would have :been able to keep out of
danger. The gale increasing to a complete storm, how-
ever, it would seem that she was driven back by its vio-
lence. Unfortunately, late in the afternoon she struck on
the banks, and went to pieces. This morning her letter-
bag, which the unfortunate captain (Platt) had stuffed
with chaff to render it buoyant, knowing its value to his
owners, and innumerahle fragments of the wreck, were
washed on shore in Bootle Bay, when the melancholy fate
of the ship and her crew was ascertained. All hands
perished. There were three passengers, Mr. Somerville,
a theatrical gentleman, it is said, and his two daughters,
all of whom shared the fate of the Captain and his crew.
The Grecian, for Boston, which was mentioned yesterday
as being on Burbo Bank, was got off at night ; but she
sustained so much damage while on shore, that she filled
with water ere she could be brought into a place of safety,
and sunk in Bootle Bay. The Steward and a woman and
her child were unfortunately drowned, so suddenly was
the final catastrophe. The ship's masts are visible at high-
water, and riegers are now employed in dismantling her
rigging. The packet.ship Algonquin is on the strand
near Mockbeggar ; her masts are gone, and she will, it is
feared, become a complete wreck. The Vigilant, for
Havannah, remains on shore near the same place. It is
doubtful whether she will be got off. The sloop Queen
Adelaide, of Cardigan, from Cardiff, is wrecked on
Mockbeggar. On the Lancashire shore several vessels
are also wrecked ; one, a brig, is on shore on Formby
Wharf, and another several miles to the southwards. To-
morrow, it is feared, will bring accounts of more disasters.
The storm has caused considerable damage to the build-
ings in the town. Several new houses, at the outskirts,
have been blown down.

A poor man was drowned in the river yesterday, owing
to the storm. The storm has now completely abated.
Arrived today, tl4e Isabella, from Riga ; and the Keith,
Stewart, from St. Petersburgh. Off the port, one ship,
four brigs, and one snow. Among them, the: Globe, from
New Orleans; the Corsair, from Halifax; and the Re-
nown, from Danerara.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE of a YOUNG LADY.

On Monday last, about twelve o'clock, as Thomas Wil-
mington, of Deptford, was passing along the Surrey Canal,
near Camherwell Church, he observed a young female
walking on the banks, apparently very much agitated. On
a sudden he saw her plunge into the canal ; he immediately
ran to the spot, and after throwing off his coat and waist.
coat, he plunged in after her, and with great difficulty
succeeded in saving her life. He immediately got as,ist-
ance, and from some lettere found in her bosom, it was dis-
covered that her name was Mary Eliz ibeth Faulkerdon, the
daughter of Mr. Faulkerdon, of High-street, Camberwell,
and she was conveyed home in a coach to her father in a
state of mind scarcely to be described. The reason of her
attempting the rash act was a disappointment in love, as
the letters fully proved.
One of the letters from her lover was as follows:
Sept. 7, 1839., Brighton.
- . .

My dearest Love—lt is with heartfelt joy that I write these
few lines to you to appoint the day for our wedding to take
place, as every thing appears very favourable to me at present,
and I see nothing to prevent the ceremony taking place on Sun-
day, the 16th inst., when, if it meets with your approbation,
we will be joined in the holy state of matrimony, by license, at
St. Mary Magdalen's Church, Bermondsey; and as it is my wish
for it to be kept as private as possible, we will go a few miles
out of town after it is completed. Have the kindness to an_
sorer this letter, so as I may know whether the day appointed
will be agreeable to yourself; if it is not, you will be good
enough to fix a day yourself. The attachment I have to you
it is utterly impossible for me to describe in writing. lam
neither happy night or day; it is impossible for me to be happy
without lam with you. As I have nothing snore to disclose
to you at present, I must conclude.—l remain until death your
sincere lover, JOHN HENRY ALLDERSON.

The following copy of a letter addressed to Anderson
was enclosed in the above :

Camberwell, Sept. 9, 1832.
My dearest Dear—l cannot relate to you how I felt when I
read your well-wishing letter,but I fully expected that I should
have been married before this. lam well aware that we cannot
have every thing we wish for at once, but I sincerely hope that
you will not put the day off any longer than you have appointed ;
if you do I shall entirely give you up, but the attachment I feel
towards you is such that it is quite impossible for me to do so. I
must add, that I am in the greatest misery and purgatory night
and day, and I cannot be happy without you. The day you have
mentioned for the ceremony to take place is quite agreeable
to me. Your sincere and well-wishing lover,
To Mr. Anderson. MARY E. FAULKERDON.
The following letter addressed to her father was found
in her reticule, which she had left on the bank.

Monday, Oct. S.
Dear Father—The reason which has induced me to commit
so vile and fatal an act is because I have been deceived in ma.
trimony several times by Mr. Allderson, of the New Kent-road.
The day was appointed for the 16th of last month, but he has
since got acquainted with another person, to whom he has been
united; and this is the only reason for my conduct, for it is im.
possible for me to be happy without him. Ever since I got ac.
quainted with bins he has never been out of my sight. Wish.
ing you and all my friends farewell, I remain your affec-
tionate daughter, MARY E. FAULKERDON.
The father of the unhappy young woman liberally re-
warded the person who saved her life.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of KENT
and Princess VICTORIA are to arrive on the 19th of this
month at Chatsworth, the seat of his Grace the Duke of
DEVONSHIRE, and remain there till the 24th, and then
proceed to Alton T revers, to visit the Earl and Countess
Of SHREWSBURY, on their way to town.
Mr. STANLEY sailed from Dublin for Eng-
land on Saturday eveninz. The Right Hon. Gentleman
proceed-, at once to London to attend a meeting of the Ca-
binet. His absence from Dublin is expected to be of short
duration. His family retuain at his residence in the Park.

THE NEW WESTMINSTER HOSPITAL.-
The Commissioners of Woods and Forests have granted
the unoccupied plot of ground between the Royal West-
minster Mews and the Sessions-house, and the north-west
side of Westminster Abbey, for a site for the new hospi-
tal. It has been surrounded by a hoard, and workmen
have for some time been employed in making the necessary
excavation for the foundation. Owing to the loose nature
of the upper strata of the soil, it was found necessary to
carry this to an unusual depth, and no less than 80,000
loads of earth were removed before they reached the stiff
clayey stratum on which the foundations are intended to
be bawd. In many places, in the course of excavating,
veriges of the wall which anciently surrounded the Abbey
sanctuary save been discovered.

ELECTIONP.

(From the I?e,idi idy AArcury.)

The following letter has been addressed by the gifted anal
patriotic Colour! de Lacy Evans to an elector of Berko
" Sra,—l have been rather surprised, during my stay
here, to learn that Mr. Pusey has been supposed by some
stand for the representation of Berkshire on the ground
of being a reformer. Thinking the composition of the
next Parliament of incalculable importance to the welfare
of the country, it seems at present peculiarly incumbent
on all who take part in public affairs to assist in obstruct-
ing the return, at the ensuing election, of unsuitable can-
ilidates. As an amiable and well-informed gentleman,
not a word, that I am aware of, can be uttered against Mr.
Pusey ; but as a politician or Membt'r of the House el
Commons I know no class of persons so ohnoxinus,—so
injurious to the general interests,—as that to which Mr.
Pusey belongs. They declare for Reform in the abstract,
but in practice oppose it with all their might, and more
effectually than any other-party. They admit all our pre-
mises against the more glaring abuses, but protest to their
utmost, and with an astonishing bitterness and zeal, against
etch specific measure brought forward for their removal.
This is the party under whose ingenious and specious
sophistries the spiritless, the interested, and the hypocri-
!jutl among voters may best take refuge. Speak of Be-
firm, and they entirely agree with you ; but attempt to
c wry it into execution, and you are met by the :Iry
ruin and spoliation.
" To the ultra-Tories of Berkshire, whose great object
must, of course, be to baffle the hopes of the people,—to
tender the Reform Bill a dead letter,—l would strongly
recommend Mr. Pusey; nay, even if the redoubted Sir C.
Wetherell should appear as his opponent; for, without
•ntending it, Mr. Pusey will promote their objects much
!hitter than even that learned and celebrated personage.
The accident of being in this part of the county for a few
Mays has occasioned this letter. I have had special reasons
'or speaking to the public conduct of Mr. Posey-10,11y
and generally—in the senate and on the hustings. 1 hove
..Neu him the stanch supporter, in practice, of existing
abuses Twice he has opposed my attempts to open the
close borough of Rye, and to carry reform into the Cinque
Ports. I could have forgiven him the first time; lie
'night have been drawn into the contest inadvertently.
On the last occasion I thought it gratuitous. This is any
justification for appealing against him to all those of the
constituency of Berkshire who believe that any extensive
measures of relief ought to be sought for as the fruit of the
long, painful, and glorious struggle in which the country
has lately been engaged. Twice I had the satisfaction on
public grounds of defeating, though at a heavy sacrifice,
his opposition to practical reform ; and I shall have addi-
tional gratification on the same grounds, and shall con-
sider that I shave performed a duty, if this letter can be
made in the slightest degree contributive to a similar result
in the present instance.—l am, Sir, your obedient sal-vent.
" Newbury, Oct. 5. " DE LACY EVANS."

We hear from authority on which we can rely
that it is the intention of their MAJESTIES to return to
this their favourite residence on the 10;11 of next month.

THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS, REGENT'S
PARK.—ne Commi'sioners of Woods and Forests have,
n consequence of an application made to them by the Zoo
logical Society, granted an extensive piece of hind, on the
south side of Regent's Park, to be added to the Zoological
Garden.. It has already been railed in, and it will he
•peedily laid out in walks and shrubberies, and in habita-
tions for the numerous animals for which the Society have
at present little room, and has in fact caused the applica-
ion for the erant. It is also in contemplation to erect a
very superb Museum on part of it, and to remove their pro-
Sent one from Brook-street, Grosvenor-square- For the
accommodation of the visitors to these new Gardens, on
the North side, a magnificent swing bridge will be made
over the Regent's Canal.

Considerable alarm has been occasioned to the
inhabitants of the pitmen's houses attached to Elvet Col-
liery, in the suburbs of the city of Dot ham, by the ap.
pearance, within the last few days, of rather extensive
etiinks in the waits of those buildings, and other indica-
tions of the sinking of the ground on which they are
erected—an alarm which has been not a little increased by
similar appearances in the walls of the parish church. The
filling-in of some part of the old workings of the colliers'
is supposed to be the cause of these threatenings above
ground, and much anxiety is felt as to urobable extent
of the dreaded mischief.-- Tyne Mercury.
CHATHAM, OCT. 8.--bite Home, of IcJ
dung, will be taken into dock on Wednesday, the 10th
instant, to be repaired. The Hornet schooner, Lieut.
F. Contmax, Commander, having been fitted for a
',acket, will tail for Falmouth on Wednesday next. The
Scout and Rover, of IS guns, are ordered to he com-
pleted as soon as possible. It is conjectured that they wilt
sie ordered to join the allied squadron destined for the
Schedlt.—Kentish Gazette.

As Colonel de LACY EVANS has been men-
tioned for some time past as an officer likely to take the
command of Don PEDRO'S army in Portugal, the follow-
;ng particulars of his military career may not he utme.
eptable to some of our readers :—ln the early part of his
life he was the heir presumptive to a gentleman of consi-
derable estates in Ireland ; but in consequence of that
gentleman's marrying, and having children at a late period
of his life, his early prospects were disappointed, and he
was obliged to trust to his own exertions for his future
success. Having mortgaged his patrimonial estate for a
sum sufficient to purchase a commission in the army. ho
settled the remainder of it on his widowed mother and h,s
t.vo sisters, and then joined the British army in Spain.
Soon after his arrival he was appointed Lieutenant, and
at one of the sieges which, the Duke of WELLINGTON was
then conducting, he volunteered as Commander of the
orlorn hope. He escaped the horrors of the assault with-
.ut a wound, and, as a matter of course, received instant
promotion. In the course of the war, he led five
other forlorn hopes on to the attack ; he was successful in
them all, and Lis promotion therefore followed rapidly.
In May, 1830, he took his seat as Member for Rye. Dur-
ing his Parliamentary career, he complained of the sky-
:less of promotion in the British army. The Secretary at
War, in replying to his remarks, took occasion to observe
that this charge came with the worst grace in the wenhi
:corn Colonel Evaxs, inasmuch as that officer had been
promoted from the rank of Lieutenant to that of Lieutc-
n tnt-Colonel in a period not much exceeding six months.
The cause of this rapid promotion would have remained
unknown had it not been for the explanation of Mr.
flumE, who, knowing that Colonel EVANS was too brave
i man to boast of his own exploits, felt himself compelled
'o declare that Colonel Evmss, by the repeated exposure of
his life to imminent danger so many times " in the deadly
areach," had fully earned the promotion which be bat
rained. To the letter of this pliant officer, in our pope'
.f to-day, we beg leave to call the serious attention of out
intelligent readers.—Rending Mercury.

CANVASSING EXTRAORDINARY.—In the
eanvips through this county, we are informed, upon un-
doubted authority, of an individual—and that individual a
I tdy too—sending to a butcher (a voter) an order f;)1
roasting beef, boiling be, f, mutton, &c., amounting to up-
teal de of 801 b. At the foot of the order was added the
.trongest intimation, addressed tG the voter's self•iutetest,
that it was expected the butcher would place his votes
entirely at the disposition of the customer. This was
buying votes, not by the pound sterling, but by the pound
avoirdupois.—Reuding Mercurg.i
PROPOSED RAILWAY FROM DURHAM TO
SOUTH SHIELDS.—Persons, we understand, arc at present
'"gaged in surveying for a railway, which it ii proposed
.0 form front the city of Durham to South Shields, with
branch to Sunderland.—Tyne Mercury.

SHULTZ and Co., tailors of London, employ
334 men, of these, six are above sixty years of age ; four-
teen about fifty; and the greater number of the remainder
About forty ; three men of the above six above sixty have dis-
torted spines. They are so subject to anal fistula, that they
have a " fistula club." Their most common affections
are difficulty of breathing, and dull head. ache with gid-
diness, especially during summer. They attribute their
complaints to two causes—one of which is the posture,
the body bent fur 13 bouts a day; the other the heat of
'lie shop.— The Doctor.
The " Cabinet-making" of Marshal SOULT
mil the Duke of WELLINGTON presents something like a
" curious coincidence." Our " great Captain," as every
body knows, owing to a grievous lack of tools wherewith
to fashion his materials, made an awkward job in this line
five or six months ago. His quondam opponent in the
field is now very much in a similar plight, and unless some
friendly hands should supply the means of completing his
work, there seems to be every reason to suppose that he
tiso will be compelled to abandon his labours in despair.
A melancholy instance of the deplorable effects
of ungovernable passion occurred at Durham, on the Ist
instant, when two brothers, named DOUGLAS, Sons of a
rope-maker, at the top of South-street, having quarrelled,
one stabled the other in the body with a knife, and with
•uch determination as to cause the bowels to protrude.
surgical aid being at band, the wound was sewed up forth.
ith, and hopes are entertained of the recovery of the young
min, who is about 19 years of aye. His brother who
committed the unnatural act is a year or two younger.—
Tyne Mercury.
