This bankrupt was described as of Gresham•house,
Old Broad-street, and to-day was appointed for his last
examination. It appeared from the report of the official
as-ignee that the bankrupt's books had been exceedingly
well kept, and the bankrnptcy appeared to have arisen
through losses in consequence of the sudden termination
of the late war, through the depreciation in value of the
merchandise in trading to Alexandria, &c. The balance-
sheet shows a capital of 12,5001. on January, 1853, and
present debts 91,4981. To creditors holding security,
13,7681.; liabilities (on bills receivable 80,1061.), of
which is expected to be proved against the estate
25,2601. Creditor—By cash given up, 3,606 ; good
debts, 4,2421. ; property, 14,7481 ; ditto in the hands

and Valent, 23,2451. ; losses, 40,1351. At present it is
impossible to calculate what the amount of the dividend
will he.
The bankrupt passed without opposition.

Sir,—l no you ave been annoyed, and I think it was

THE RUSSIAN RAILWAY SCHEME.—The subscription
list for the Russian railway scheme was closed yesterday
afternoon, and it is understood that scarcely any Eng-
lish applications have been received except from persons
who, from the nituro of their business connexions with
the Russian Government, or with the London con-
tractors, have felt compelled to come forward. Alto-
gether the failure seems even more complete than was
at first anticipated. It is presumed, however, that the
real figures connected with it will not be allowed to
transpire, and that arrargernents to that effect will be
made at St. Petersburg.

SINGULAR AFFAIR.—On Monday evening a young
Irish girl presented herself at the Walworth-road Police-
statiou, and addressing Inspector Worrell, said sbe
wished to give herself up to matt an accusation of felony
that hart been made against her, and added that she had
come from Kingstown, near Dublin, to do so. The in-
spector, who at once reengnised her, perceiving that she
had a trundle in her band, which she seemed to be taking
more than ordinary care et, asked of what it consisted,
and stn.; without the slightest hesitation, told him. She
said ttritt during her passage from Kingstown to Holy-
head sh.e had been seized with the pains of labour, and
with the assistance of a female on board was delivered
of a female chili, which was dead at its birth. She did
not stop at Holyhead, but Caine off at once with the
train, and walked from Enston-statton to the Walmorth-
road. On hearing this strange story, Mr. Worrell at
once sent for a medical man, who examined the body of
the infant, and gave it as his opinion that its death had
been caused by neglect. The un'ortunate woman was
at once sent to Newington workhouse, and the remains
of her offspring were also sent to the workhouse to await
the ccroner's inquest.

LITERATURE.

A Personal Narrative of the Discovery of the North •
West Passage. By Alex. Armstrong, M.D.,
R.N. Hurst and Blackett.
The sti%ject of this work is one which will at
once secu: e for it a large number of readers. There
is a:ways a peculiar interest in thedetails of ex-
ploits and perils on the world of waters, andin the
present instance it is reloub.e I from the-attendant
circumstances. The object of the expedition, the
perilous nature of the undertaking under the most
favourable auspices, the grand discovery that has
made the voyage SJ memorable, together with the
fact of its extreme length and severe hardships,
combine to heighten the interest and increase the
importance of the 'narrative. It has not been left
to so late a date t 5 give to the public the history of
the expedition, Lut another volume can hardly b 3
deemed sup rflueus. Dr. Armstrong was the sur-
geoe of h r Majesty's ship Investigator, and dur-
ing his five ye irs' sojourn he kept a journal and
note-bo rk, front which he has compiled this volume.
On his return, his health was so much injured that
he was unable to undertake any literary labour,
and being subsequently engaged in the Baltic cam-
paign and in the West Indie-r, he has been forced
to defer the arrangement of his papers fera con-
siderable period. It is, however, to be hoped thst
a voyage, " which for its duration and privat'ons
is unparalleled in maritime annals," has not lost its
interest among us. Though some years have
passed away since that memorable expedition, and
though the excitement and anxiety of war have
distracted- our attention, yet few will regard with
indifference the record of those lonely days and
nights in the Arctic Circle, which might well try
the courage of the bravest. On Sunday, January
20th, 1850, the. " Enterprise" and the " Investi-
gator" weighed anchor in Plymouth Sound, and
started on the search for Sir John Franklin and his
companions. On the 6th of October, 1854, the
officers and crew-landed off Ramsgate, having thus
been absent nearly five years, and having passed
four consecutive winters in the Polar regions. The
" Invstigator," under the command of Capttin
M'Clure, entered the ice alone, having parted com-
pany with her consort the "Enterprise," soon'
I after leaVing Eng:and. The latter being a much'
faster vessel soon outstripped the " Investigator,".
whO had sacrificed speed to strength, having been
thoroughly prepared and fortified for her perilous
voyage by Win. Rice, Eiq., of Woolwich Dock-
yard: The two ships fivally parted company off the
coast of South America, and the officers and crew
of the Investigator do not appear to have been
pleased by the desertion of their comrades. Having
thrOugh some good advice, followed a shorter route,
they arrived first at the rendezvous, ani gladly
availed themselves of the opportunity of obtaining
distinction by prosecuting the search alone. The
outset of their voyage was, the most prosperous, as
it was in the first year that they ascertained the
existence of the passage. On the 10th of October
1850, the ship being housed for the winter, in the
centre of the pack of ice, a small party, including
Captain M'Clure and Dr. Armstrong, quitted the
ship and took possession of the large tract of land,
now known as Prince Albert's Land. They soon
ascended some high ground and made their obser
vations.

"Our view to the northward, however, was rather
more cheering, notwithstanding the deceptive appear-
ances ever caused by distance in Arctic regions, when
the atmosphere is highly refractive, and where ice and
land are often so intimately blended together, that it is
often impossible to distinguish one from the other. We
could clearly trace the termination of the western land,
or that of Banks', to a headland or cape of considerable
elevation, while that on the eastern side tended away
to the north-east, with a clear, undoubted field of packed
ice, intervening—continuous with the Strait of Prince
of Wales, in which the ship then was. Everything,
therefore, was fully confirmatory of the opinions pre-
viondy formed, and no doubt could remain as to the
existence of a passage. From the summit of that bill I
felt convinced we were looking on the ice-packed Strait
of Barrow, that the highway to England from ocean to
ocean lay before us, and that we had incontrovertibly
established the existence of a North-West Passage."
Some days later Captain M'Clure and some of the
crew" ;started off to verify their surmises. He re-
turned after a short absence with a full confirma-
tion of their hopes.
" Although no doubt could be entertained as to the
existence of the passage, from our previous observatione,
yet we hailed with great gladness, their entire confirma-
tion on the return of Captain M'Clure. As no official
announcement of it bad been previously made, the pre
sent was considered a fit opportunity for doing so, and
in these simple words our great discovery was recorded
in the ship's log.
" ' Ociober 31st, the captain returned at 8 30 a.m.,
and at 11.30 a.m., the remainder of the party, having,
upon the 26di instant, ascertained that the waters we
are now in, communicate with those of Barrow Strait, the
north-eastern limit being in latitude 73' 31', N. longitude
114' 39', W. thus establishing the existence of a North-
West Passage between the Atlantio and Pacific Oceans '
"Thus was established the greatest maritime discovery
of the age, which for three centuries had baffled the
skill, enterprise, and energy of the civilised world. It
bad beep-, unier the guidance and mercy of Providence,
achieved by us when in search of the expedition that
was lost in making the attempt to discover it."
This was the passage through the Prince of Wales
Strait, which divides Baring Island from Prince
Albert's Land. A second, as is well known, was
subsequently discovered to the north of Bating
Island, through Banks Strait, which separates it from
Melville Island. Dr. Armstrong regards.the en-
trance into the Bay of Mercy (where the Investi-
gator was finally abandoned) to have been the
fatal error of the voyage. It must certainly have
been a matter of deep regret to the gallant com-
mander and his high-spirited crew to abandon the
good ship that had borne them so long, instead of
completing the navigation of the passage and re-
turning to England in the vessel in which they
started. Dr. Armstrong reserves to himself the
right of occasionally censuring the conduct of the ex-
pedition, and appears to have had the misfortune
of frequent'y differing in opinion from the captain.
His era:6ms and propositions will no doubt be
disputed, but he does not hesitate to award to
every individual engaged in the daring enterprise
the highest praise fur courage and endurance. The
health of the men was severely tested by the com-
pulsory diminution of food during the severe
weather. Dr. Armstrong found from experience
that the second winter in such latitudes is more
trying to the constitution than the first, the third
than the second, and so on. Consequently a
greater proportion of animil and vegetable fool is
required to restore the exhaustion of the powers,
anti unfoituriaiely the voyagers were obliged to
have le:s than before, owing to the decrease of
their supplies. The health and spirits of the men
stood the test bravely, and their cheerfulness during I
the tedious monotony of the lonely winter months
is represented as most meritorious. At the pro-
spect of passing another winter—the third—in the
Bay of Mercy, their courage gave way. They had
suffered severely for many months from the incle-
mency of the season and the want of food. In the
month of January, 1853, the temperature fell
lower than has ever been experienced by .any former
expedition, the mean temperature of the month
being 43 des. 37 min. below Zero. Sickness and
exhaustion were producing alarming results on the
strongest, and their only chance of escape appeared
to be the de-perate one of leaving the ship and
travelling over miles of ice in search of some small
depots of provisions, which were known to exist at
a great distance. This plan presenting the most
formidable appearance to a body of men reduced
by cold, hunger, and sickness, the feelings of the
desolate crew may be imagined at the unlooked-for
appearance of Led. Pim. He arrived, strange to
say, just after the first death.
"It was at 4 p.m. on the afternoon of the 6th of
April, all was silent in and about the ship, four men
were on shore making a grave for their departed ship-
mate, distant from the ship about 400 yards; two
officers wore returning across the ice from superintend-
ing
the work, when a figure was observed approaching
from the rough ice to seaward. They at first supeeeed
him to be one of our men, but as he came towards thempiro
he proved to be a stranger. He was Lieutenantho
had
of H.M.S. Resolute, from Melville Island, w
most providentially reached the Investigator after a
most severe and harassing journey of 28 days being
then the earliest Polar travelling on record, azL made
his appearance amongst us a deliverer.
Immediately a
distant object was observed, treading its way through
the rough ice, which proved to be his sledge drawn by
five Esquimaux dogs and two men. I cannot attempt
to convey any idea of the scene which took place can
board, or the expressions of joy and gladnesn which were
,o abundantly poured forth, when the intelligence that
flew with the rapidity of lightning from 'stem to stern,'
became known. It was at first pronounced either a mis
take or a joke. Indeed, the mind for a moment appeared
confused, as if unable to comprehend the truth of
ss hat was he; rd, and several strange involuntary
questions were hastily muttered asked and answered in
a breath. At length when thoroughly aware of the
reality, and fully aroused by a shout of joy, raised by a
few men on deck, announcing the approach of the
stranger, there was a sudden and simultaneous rush to
the hatchways i • the Weak and the strong, ' the maimed,
the halt and the blind' following each other, amazed and
agitated, as fast as their enfeebled limbs could bear them,
.ne,til-the deck was gained, and they were afforded an
opportunity of verifying what they had just heard. Some,
as doubting the reality of what they saw, rushed out on
the ice, and were not satisfied till they met Lieutenant
Pim, touched him, handled him, and heard him speak,
when they no longer doubted. He was the first of our
countrymen we had seen, or whose voice we had heard,
for three long and dreary years. The sledge soOn fcl
lowed, and the party were received by three as hearty
cheers as ever came from the lungs of British sailors.
No words could express the feelings of heartfelt glad-
nese which all experienced at this unlooked-for, this
most providential arrival. Relief was now at hand—
succour had reached us. On men who believed that
