HE NOVELTY most recently introduced by
.51._ MESSRS. NICOLL is called NICOLL'S PATENT EIDER
DOWN PALETOT, such nevelty consisting fn the adaptation of
Eider Down in the formation of NICOLL'S PALETOT, the original
elegance and utility of which is, however, faithfully preserved.
Eiders are found In great numbers in Iceland and the Fern
Islands, where their beautiful and delicate down is well known to In
proof against the most severe cold, and even the small quantity
which can be compressed and concealed between the two hands, wig
serve in the formation of a Paletet, which, while it has most extra-
ordinary lightness, has, nevertheless, more warmth than the fines,
and thickest blanket, the great desideratum for a winter garment
being thus accomplished, namely, personal warmth without fatigue.
Public inspection is invited at MESSRS. NICOLL'S wholesale and

LOG OF SIR JAMES ROSS.

EXPEDITION IN SEARCH OF FRANKLIN.
We brought our last extract down to the 20th of
November, 1848, inclusive. It is necessary to state,
that from Monday, the 9th of November, the tem-
perature in degrees should be understood as below
zero.

WINTER REGULATIONS.
Officers and quartermaster in five watches; officers
registering the barometer and thermometer ; state of
the weather and deviation of wind every hour ; at the
same time quartermaster reading the tide from the
pole which the officer also registers every hour.
- Hands turned up at half-past six in the morning;
one watch sent on deck to sweep the inside of the
housing, and fetch in snow to make water for the day ;
at the same time a certain number of hands remov-
ing the dirt away a certain distance from the ship;
the other watch clears the lower deck ; half past
seven, clear lower deck ; every one with the exception
of cooks and stewards (who are preparing the
breakfast), sent on deck to walk in the fresh
air until eight o'clock, when all hands go
to breakfast ; those whose duties prohibit
them from taking exercise in the morning are
compelled to walk two hours in the first watch, that
is, from eight to ten in the evening. Quarter to nine
the hands are again turned up, and employed outside
on the ice at various jobs until half-past eleven, when
all hands repair on board and clear up deck ; twelve
noon, dinner; at one o'clock the hands are again
called, and sent outside to their respective duties
as in the forenoon ; three o'clock, hands repair
on board, clear up deck, and go to supper ; six
o'clock, school open for those who wish to attend;
half past eight, out lights; all hands again to bed;
Tuesday every fortnight is given to those who attend
upon the officers to wash their clothes; Friday every
fortnight to the men; two men kept below every day
to keep the lower deck clean and dry.
N.B. When it blows hard, snows, or drifts, the
people are kept employed on board.

PORTNSMAOUYTAEf IDCTe,aNstaCtioEn. sloop is is to be considered as a
steam-vessel of the fireamst
division in the advanced squadron at this port.
We are sorry to state that Rear-Admiral Prescott,
superintendent of this dockyard, is not quite so well
as he was early hi the week, having bad a slight
return of rheumatism.
The Termagant steam-frigate is being fitted with a
new screw-propeller in dock.
The Sidon steam-frigate is taking in ballast along-
side the jetty, and will be tried next week.
The Terrible, 21, steam-frigate, Captain James
Hope, C. 8., in going into Hamoaze on Wednesday,
touched the ground at Wilderness Point, between
Devil's Point and Mount Edgeumbe. It was dead
low water at the time, but after remaining almost
stationary for a few minutes, she, by the aid of her
engines, floated off. The pilot in charge, who is
considered a very careful man, accounts for the acci-
dent by stating that the Terrible did not answer her
helm according to expectation. The Terrible, having
a diver on board, a dress was sent off, when on pro-
ceeding under her bottom, he found the false keel so
injured that it was determined to dock her before
sending her out on foreign service, and as this great
and important westernmost post does not possess a
dock capable of taking the Terrible in, the ship left
yesterday for this port, to be docked and repaired
with the utmost dispatch, in order that she may
return to Devonport, be paid advance, and proceed to
join Commodore Martin's squadron at Lisbon. She
will be put on the Sidon dock, no other being large
enough to take her in with the gates shut. The
Penelope steam-frigate has been put out of dock this
afternoon to make room for her.

A poor fellow, of the name of John Langridge, a
sawyer, whilst attending the circular saw yesterday,
got his hand so seriously injured as to be obliged to
have it removed immediately.
