LONDON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1850.

Winter having now commenced, even the most
sanguine amongst us can no longer cherish an ex-
pectation of receiving, at least daring the next quarter,
any intelligence of the Arctic expedition. Hitherto
all searches after the missing adventurers have proved
ineffectual. Attempt after attempt has been made,
and ail to no avail whatever, to meet with the sur-
vivors. Vessels have returned from those regions of
everlasting ice, one after another, without bringing
home any, even the faintest token, by which we might
still remain sanguine as to the ultimate discovery of
the absent navigators. Whalers have come back
lac* with the spoils of the sea leviathans, but void of
all indications of having encountered the stray come
panions of Sir .101121 F
aaNELIN. Carrier pigeons
have flown homewards through a distance of many
hundreds of miles, but still without conveying even a
single eerap of information, satisfactory or otherwise.
The regions of the snows and
-of the icebergs have
remained dumb to aWcur inquiring investigations.
The muteness of five years has followed the depar-
ture of the gallant seamen about whose fate the
nation is at length beginning to entertain feelings of
such profound anxiety.
It would be well if henceforward precautionary
ll
arrangements could be made in connexion with
such expeditions—arraegemente of such a character as
would be the best safeguard against their destruction.
Our meaning may be best exemplified by an illustration
taken from the most memorable exploit of modern,
and perhaps of ancient times—the expedition into
Russia adventured upon in 1812 by the Emperor
NAFOLEON. In all the authentic narratives that have
ever been written of that amezing achievement, we
are informed that from the day when the invader left
Paris to the day when he entered Moscow, from the
morning when he set out from the palace of the

Upwards of 60,0001. sterling value of gold had

Late accounts had been received from California,

"These repeated disaster& by floc ds and fires in Cali-

" San Francisco has to contend with two great disad-

LATEST PARTICULARS.

Last night (Sunday) as late as nine o'clock, a vast
body of fire still remained in Mr. Eason's premises,
which occasionally rose so high as to shed a lurid glare
over the neighbourhood. The firemen were at that
hour actively engaged in throwing immense torrents of
water over the fire, hut from the great extent of the
bark, which forms the principal substance tor the flames
to feed upon, it is feared that two or three days more
must elapse before the fire can be wholly subdued. A
most searching invi stigation has been made by Mr.
Eason with a view of learning how the misfortune hap-
pened, and from the information of certain partos who
saw the commencement of the fire, there is no doubt
entertained that the fire did not begin in his premises.
Sergeant Moore, of the M division, who was on
duty in the district, saw the beginning of the fire,
and he states that it commenced in a shed not belong-
ing to Mr. Eason, but which adjoined his property.
The shed was empty, and there is every reason
to conclude from that circumstance that it must have
been wilfully set on fire by some malicious person. The
stock of leather in store at the time of the outbreak was
unusually heavy, and the bark, a most expensive article,
was valued at several thousand pounds. That part al-
ready destroyed, or still burning, was worth, it is
stated, from 6,0001. to 7,000/ Although the property
was insured for a large sum it is much below the value
of the goods destroyed, and Mr. Eason will be a serious
loser.

It was reported yesterday that two men had been taken
into custody on suspicion of having set fire to the premises,
but upon making inquiries at the works the reporter was
informed that such was not the case.

A great number of persona of all grades flocked yes-
terday to the scene, anxious to see the burning ruins,
and to keep the crowd out of the way of the firemen a
strong muster of police was kept on the ground.

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 16.—Her Majesty's steam-vessel
Wasp was undocked on Thursday. She went from
Hamoese into the Sound yesterday. Her crew will be
paid wages to-day, and she is appointed to sail to-
morrow (Sunda)) with the mails for the coast of Africa.
The Britomort having been found defective, the liar_
!equip, as a substitute, was masted and docked on
Tursday to have her copper examined and be rep)ired.
She was taken out of dock yesterday. Commander Wil-
mot and the crew of the Britomart have been transferred
to the Harlequin, which is to go to the coast of Africa.
I The crew cf the Cambrian will not be paid off until
the conclusion of the private inquiry at the office of the
Commodore Superintendent, relative to Commodore
Plumridge, upon certain charges preferred by Mr.

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
ertunately Aappens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
leously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. I.I3'MERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

EXHIBITION OF 1851.

In consequence of the excessive demands for floor or
counter space in the building we understand that he
Majesty's Commissioners at their last meeting resolved
to authorise the erection of an additional gallery, by
which an increased area of about 45,000 superficial feet is
obtained. By this increase the total exhibiting area of
floor and counter space applicable to the exhibitors of
tho United Kingdom
.amounts to about 220,000 super-
ficial feet; but large a, this amount is it is hardly one-
half of the total floor or counter space demanded. For-
tuna►ely the amount of possible hanging or wall space is
very co❑siderable, and below the aggregate of the de-
mand:: for it; and thus exhibitors who are unable to
obtain sufficient floor r•r counter space will still have the
means of exhibiting on the wall vertically. We believe
that the demands, which IN ere totalled together late on
Saturday night, amount to upwards of 420,000 super-
ficial feet for floor or counter space, 200,000 superficial
feet for wall space, and were made by 8,200 proposed
exhibitors.

In conscquence of the inconveniences occasioned to
the progress of tha works by the admission of visitors
her Majesty's Commissioners have resolved that the
issue of cards for admission shall be discontinued. At
the same time the admission of visitors is not absolutely
prohibited, but a charge of ss. for each person will ba
made purposely with a view of discouraging applica-
tions. Any funds which may arise from this source will
be applied to a sick and accident fund for the workmen.
The Bishop of London has appointed a committee to
consider waist measures shculd be taken to provide
foreigners and other stranuers with the means of at-
tending divineivorship during the period of the ap-
proaching exhibition. The committee held their first
meeting on Friday last at the office of the Metropolis

PEDESTRIANISM.

GREAT FOOT RACE FORIO6SZW.LH. A. REED, OF
LONDON, AND GEORGE SEWARD, THE AMERICAN WON-
DER.—The two most remarkable runners of the pre-
sent day met on Monday, at Boxmoor, in Hertford-
shire, to decide over a quarter of a mile of turnpike
road, which should wear the title of " Champion,"
and receive the " Victories" contingent on touching
the goal first. The piece of ground selected was near
the Boxmoor statioa on the North-Western line, on
the road running from the village towards the rail-
way arch, near which the stipulated 440 yards
terminated. The betting was in favour of the " Lon-
do❑ man," as he was termed, at 6 to 4 ; but a
little before the start 5 to 4 was all that would be
laid. At a few minutes past four the men appeared and
stripped at the scratch, and certainly two finer models
in different styles of speed and power could not
have been imagined. Both appeared faultless in
cond tier). Seward went away first, almost a yard, but
was quickly caught by Reed, who ran with him shoulder
to shoulder for 250 to 300 yards. The strenuous and
rapidly repeated efforts by which Seward, leaning forward
and gathering his clenched fists close to him, seemed to
drive the very road behind him, were strikingly con-
trasted with the style of Reed, who, almost up-
right, his clenched hands vibrating at every stride,
seemed to cover a space of ground at every spring
approaching that described in nursery rhyme as
achieved by the owner of the " seven-leagued boots."
At the distance we have mentioned, Reed seemed for
an instant to sway or roll, and next moment the Ame-
rican was two or three yards in front, and there he
kept, winning after a terrific struggle by about three
yards, a greater distance having intervened between them
a little before the finish. The time was stated at 51
seconds, on a muddy road, be it remembered.

" I have been told that great off,nce has been:talten
at the Use of tho word to ' govern,' found in my Pas-
toral, as though implying some iemvral authority.
.I
find, however, that in this appeal I have again and again
used the word, because it is the usual, and almost only
word, applied amongst Us to episcopal rule. It must be
remembered that the Pastoral was addressed, in the usual
form of such df,cumentg, 'to the clergy, secular and re-
gular, and to the faithful,' which showed it to be meant
tor Catholics alone, who could understand the word. I
have been in the habit of addressing several Pastorals a
year to the Cathoiics confined to ray charge, which have
always been read in our churches and chapels. lint
this is, I believe, the first which the press has done me
the honour of transferring to its columns. It thus came
to be represented as addressed to all the inhabitants of
certain countie4, a sort of edict or manifesto, instead of a

The mean temperature of the week was 46.2°, which is
rather more than the average of the same week in seven
years. On Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, it was from 6° to
8' above the averages of these days. On the next three
days the mean temperature was only about 39°, and was 4•

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1850.

Cardinal WISEMAN has at:length published his long-
threatened manifesto, which will be found in extenso
in our journal of this day, and which, together with
" the Address of the Catholics of England to her MA-
JESTY,"
which appeared in The Sun of Saturday last,
and which is also from the pen of the Cardinal, may
be considered as the statement of the case for the defence
on the part of those concerned in the recent Papal
aggressions. The manifesto is a perfect specimen of
Jesuitical casuistry, affectedly mild in tone, in manner
most oily, when carefully analysed it denies nothing
explicitly, it affirms nothing explicitly, but it in-
sinuates much. The Cardinal is cunning of fence,

SUPERSTITION.

The days of fairies, ghosts, and goblins have not yet
passed away, notwithstanding the numerous and severe
strictures of the press upon the fallacy of such notions as
are sometimes entertained respecting them. The su-
perstitious belief in their existence, and in their ability
and willingness to reveal the hidden things of the
future, in order to aid a favoured mortal to attain some
desired end, seems to prevail to an incredible extent
in the mountainous districts of Wales. Of this gross
credulity the following case will serve as a sample,
and may be relied on as perfectly true. It refers to
an alleged disclosure of treasures hidden deep in the
bosom of old mother earth. The person to whom the
pretended revelations were made is a labouring
miner near Mold. He was first, he says, accosted
by his unearthly visitant (a female) at midnight.
She came to his bedside, gently tapped him on the
shoulder, and desired him to get up and follow her,
which he unhesitatingly did. Perhaps the appear-
ance of the ghost in the shape of a middle-aged
woman emboldened the knight-errant to obey her
behest. Be this as it may, he makes a market
of her disclosures. Upon the strength of what
this man states, a company of adventurers com •
menced operations by opening a new mine. They
have sunk a shaft to the depth of forty-two yards,
and are, according to the miner's statement of what
the ghost communicated to him, within a few
yards of the lead ore ; but, as crosses will be the
portion of mortals, the agent of the proprietor of

SUPERSTITION.

The days of fairies, ghosts, and goblins have not yet
passed away, notwithstanding the numerous and severe
strictures of the press upon the fallacy of such notions as
are sometimes entertained respecting them. Tile su-
perstitious belief in their existence, and in their ability
and willingness to reveal the hidden things of the
future, in order to aid a favoured mortal to attain some
desired end, seems to prevail to an incredible extent
in the mountainous districts of Wales. Of this gross
credulity the following case will serve as a sample,
and may be relied on as perfectly true. It refers to
an alleged disclosure of treasures bidden deep in the
bosom of old mother earth. The person to whom the
pretended revelations were made is a labourips_
miner near Mold. He was first, he says, accost
by his unearthly visitant (a female) at midnight.
She came to his bedside, gently tapped him on the
shoulder, and desired him to get up and follow her,
which he unhesitatingly did. Perhaps the appear-
ance of the ghost in the shape of a middle-aged
woman emboldened the knight-errant to obey her
behest. Be this as it may, he makes a market
of her disclosures. Upon the strength of what
this man states, a company of adventurers corn •
menced operations by opening a new mine. They
have sunk a shaft to the depth of forty-two yards,
and are, according to the miner's statement of what
the ghost communicated to him, within a few
yards of the lead ore ; but, as crosses will be the
portion of mortals, the agent of the proprietor of
the land has strictly prohibited them from continuing
the work, and the " land of promise " is destined
to be inaccessible for some time to the luckless
adventurers. The ghost is upon good, easy, familiar
terms with the miner, and has appeared to him about
sixty times, occasionally meeting him in some iso-
lated spot, and accompanying him a mile or so, con-
versing freely as they proceed, till they arrive at
the miner's house, when she quietly opens the door,
waits his ingress, then closes the door, and previous
to her departure very politely and unostentatiously
slips into his hand a piece of what is gravely suspected
to be gold, but which he most pertinaciously refuses
to give a name to. The ghost also gave a minute de-
scription of the different strata through which they
were to pass in sinking, and was so very parti-
cular as to specify the day, hour, and minute upon
wnich each successive change in the soil would take
place, and her predictions have been verified to the
very letter. This strange set of credulous mortals
patiently await the time for permission from the agent
to continue operations; and when the " good time"
comes, they entertain not the slightest doubt that the
earth is certain to yield the much-coveted treasure to

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1850.

Cardinal WrsastAN has at,length published his long-
threatt,ned manifesto, laich, will be found in extePso
in our journal of this day, and which, together with
" the Address of the Catholics of England to her MA-
JESTY," which appeared in The Sun of Saturday last,
and which is also from the pen of the Cardinal, may
be considered as the statement of the case for the defence
on the part of those concerned in the recent Papal
aggressions. The manifesto is a perfect specimen of
Jesuitical casuistry, affectedly mild in tone, in manner
most oily, when carefully analysed it denies nothing
explicitly, it affirms nothing explicitly, but it in-
sinuates much. The Cardinal is cunning of fence,

PEDESTRIANISM.

GREAT FOOT RACE FOR 100 Sous.—H. A. REED, OF
LONDON, AND GEORGE SEWARD, THE AMERICAN WON-
DER.—The two most remarkable runners of the pre-
sent day met on Monday, at Boxmoor, in Hertford-
shire, to decide over a quarter of a mile of turnpike
road, which should wear the title of " Champion,"
and receive the " Victories" contingent on touching
the goal first. The piece of ground selected was near
the Boxmoor station on the North-Western line, on
the road running from the village towards the rail-
way arch, near which the stipulated 440 yards
termina,ed. The betting was in favour of the " Lon-
don man," as ho was termed, at 6 to 4 ; but a
little bef tre the start 5 to 4 was all that would be
laid. At a few minutes past four the men appeared and
stripped at the scratch, and certainly two finer models
in different styles of speed and power could not
have been imagined. Both appeared faultless in
cund tion. Seward went away first, almost a yard, but
was quickly caught by Reed, who ran A ith him shoulder
to shoulder for 250 to 300 yards. The strenuous and
rapidly repeated effotts by which Seward, leaning forward
and gather►ng his clenched fists close to him, seemed to
drive the very road behind him, were strikingly con-
trasted with the style of Reed, who, almost up-
right, his clenched hands vibrating at every stride,
seemed to cover a space of ground at every spring
approaching that described in nursery rhyme as
achieved by the owner of the " seven-leagued boots."
At the distance we have mentioned, Reed seemed for
an instant to sway or roll, and next moment the Ame-
rican was two or three yards in front, and there he
kept, winning after a terrific struggle by about three
yards, a greater distance having intervened between them
a little before the finish. The time was stated at 51
seconds, on a muddy road, be it remembered.

About 1,300 head of Beasts, Sheep, Lambs, Calves, and
Pigs have been landed at the outposts. The supply of
foreign Beasts and Sheep on sale in to-day's market was
extensive, but of very middling quality. From our own
grazing districts, the arrivals of Beasts fresh up this
morning were seasonably large, and in improved coach-
tion. Notwithstanding that the dead markets were
scantity supplied, the Beef trade, owing chiefly to the
prevailing warm weather, ruled inactive, at prcies
barely equal to those obtained on Monday last. The
extreme value of the best Scots was 3s 8d to 3s 10d per
Sibs. The Bullock receipts from Norfolk, Suffolk,
Essex, and Cambridgeshire, amounted to 1,000 Scots
and Short-horn. From Lincolnshire and Leicester-
shire, we received 1,200 Short-horns; from other
parts of England 400 Herefords, Runts, Devons,
&c. ; and from Scotland, 200 Scots. The num-
bers of Sheep being considerably on the increase,
tho Mutton trade was in a very sluggish state,
at a decline of 2d per 8113 e. The priniest old Downs
were
selling at from 3s 10d to 4s per Sibs. Prime Down
Lambs were scarce, and held at full prices. In all other
breeds exceedingly little business was transacted, at late
rates. Calves, the supply of which was good, were in
moderate request, at last week's quotations. The de-
mand fur Pigs was heavy, at our quoted prices.
