(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
DUBLIN, TUESDAY EVENING.—New Year's Day
has, indeed, come in with change—mutations of
weather as well as those of fortune, for on to-day the
" Lord Mayor's Show" represents a great triumph of
the democratic principle. And, first, as to the at-
mospheric. About eight o'clock this morning it was
freezing with as right good-will, apparently, as the
most inveterate lover of ice could wish ; when, sud-
denly, the " light-blue coating of the heavens," as
some atmospheric tailor, in a magazine, whose name I
don't now recollect, called a frosty fog, gave way to
one of those unmistakeable, heavy, downfals of com-
pressed smoke and darkness, whose like I have only
experienced in Manchester or Londoni
The skaters, however, had a re coupe against the
weather. For all Dublin was on tiptoe to see
the procession consequent upon the inauguration of
the new Lord Mayor of Dublin, John Reynolds,
M.P. As an account of the ceremony will be seen in
the papers, it may be of some little interest to sketch
very hurriedly the history of the new Lord Mayor—
the only man of his (the Roman Catholic) religion
that ever combined the two high offices of Lord
Mayor and Member for the city of Dublin. Mr.
Reynolds is a native of the county of Leitrim, and
was born on a small portion of the land which was
once owned by his ancestors for miles around, but a
small part of which at his birth was merely farmed
by his father. The family is a very ancient one, and
collaterally related to that of George Nugent Reynolds,
whose celebrated letter to the Earl of Clare The Sun
republished with so much effect when the Whigs
were dismissing the repeal magistrates in 1843. John
and Thomas Reynolds were both placed behind com-
mercial counters in Dublin—their father's, or their
own, strong sense determining a career of industry,
rather than a" profession" of either physic or law—a
tendency amongst Irish parents to make "gentlemen"
of their sons being utterly avoided by the shrewdness
of the elder or juvenile Reynoldses. I knew both
brothers when they afterwards had establishments in
the " Manchestes line," on Merchant's-quay ; but
prosperity did not wait upon " Tom," as
be is familiarly called, and when politics betook him
to the Trades Union, and afterwards his anti-tithe
speech at Bohernabreena consigned him to Kilmain-
ham, along with Marcus Costello (now Attorney-
General at Gibraltar), his shop, within a few doors
of Lower Bridge-street, was closed, and never since
re-opened. He is now Marshal of Dublin, through
the means of O'Connell, who loved him, and believed
him to be an honest man—in which belief no one had
ever reason to accuse that great man of credulity.
Jiahn continued longer in the "Manchester line" than
his brother, and finally became a commission agent
tor the sale of teas, &c, Commission agents here
are dignified by the name of merchants ;
and from becoming town councillor, he mounted
by a lucky chance the legislative ladder.
Such a chance could not have arisen in London
amongst your deliberative race. But the mass of
the people here are impulsive and, better, democratic
—not levelling; and the strong, earnest good sense,
aptitude at reply, and tremendous powers of self-
sustainment and readiness at catching the weak points
of his opponents, together with oossessing the key to
the symrathies of his hearers, by flinging himself
upon them as " one of themselves ;"—altogether
made John Reynolds one of the most extra-
ordinary men of modern times within this
inexplicable realm of Ireland, and, so, the
new arrangement of taking all the votes
together, in the one locality—Home's Hotel, Uusher's
Quay—afforded an opportunity for the " fierce
democracy " to concentrate their forces ; the 3,000
carmen of Dublin—led by the celebrated John
Smith, O'Connell's " patriotic carmen," or, as he is
better known, " State of the Poll,"—brought in the
votes without a farthing cost, galloped everywhere
there could be a voter found, and positively carried
the election by the unwonted promptitude of their
proceedings. Meanwhile the freemen, who were
expecting bribes, waited until their demands
were acceeded to but too late, for the
Tory candidate, Gregory ; the booths were
closed inexorably at four ; and John Reynolds
became Member for Dublin by ifs people
getting rid for once of their proverbial carelessness,
excited to exertion by the " fun of the thing," hurried
off to the hustings by a host of carmen, who, in their
turn, made their horses "stir their pins" gratis'at the
of an energetic demorat. From becoming
the legislative it was but natural he should become
the civic representative of Dublin. Whether the
honour of the baronetcy be added remains to a future
chapter of this modern romance.

LANDLORD DEVASTATION.—I received this after-
noon a letter from a most respectable Roman
Catholic clergyman of the Diocese of Ferns, dated
from the well-known town of Ferns, in the county
Wexford—a county generally free from the red foot.
steps of destroying landlords. As it is but right
that the matter should obtain as much publicity as
possible, I have handed over the original letter to the
editor of a morning journal here, not publishing the
gentleman's name as he has not authorised me. The
following are extracts :

" I gave your friend all the information I could,
and took him with me that he might see the horrid
work going on in this quarter, with his own eyes. I
suppose he has already transmitted to you what he
saw.

While I am now writing the work of destructiou
is going on. A body of men sent by Mr. Donovan,
are now at work with pick and crowbar, pulling down
by force the houses of those poor people who refused
to perform the unnatural work themselves. The last
house in a whole street in this town of Ferns (into
which I came this morning)--the last house, I say,
in a street of, I think, forty houses—l am not certain
—is now on fire. It belonged to a poor widow of
the name of Byrne ; and it is thought Mr. Donovan's
levellers set it on fire because she would not surrender
possession. Some of the poor people say they never
gave pos3ession ; and it is certain no notice of the in-
tended clerrance was ever sent to the workhouse, as
ordained by law.

" This horrid work is going on in all quarters—in
fact, the landlords are making war on the people with
more ferocity than the most savage foe. I ask any
Christian man, where are things to end ? Is there
any Government in this country ? If there be, cer-
tainly salus populi is not their supreme law. Their
only occupation, in my (mind, is to guard, and pro-
tect, and sustain the destroyers of the people. Now,
I have to say it, in the bitterness of my heart, if the
Government do not step forward and stop this hellish
work, I think that, after a little, the only thing that
will remain for men like me to do, is, to openly tell
the people to protect themselves."
Need I add one word to this, except to say that the
writer is a clergyman, who has been singularly re-
served on all political matters, and who would not
now. write thus save " in bitterness of heart" ?
A Protectionist meeting was held in Enniscorthy
yesterday, but the landlords were totally foiled in
"obtaining an audience"—not that there were not
plenty of people present, but that there was not a
chance of a hearing. The clique who called the
meeting then declared it adjourned to the 9th inst.,
although all were opposed to the postponement but
the few landlords present. lam assured the gentry
will not try Enniscorthy again.

ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY RONBERY.—OD Fri4lay
night last, about ono o'clock, Mr. Richard Fleet, land-
,rd of the Rose Inn, Tovil, was returning from Far-
Leigh, from a visit to his brother, when he met three
ny_n near Farleigh Priory, whom he was about to wild'
good night, when one of them seized him by the collar
behind, tripped him up and fell uponehim. The others
were about to assist in robbing him, when Mr. Fleet
calling his dog, the faithful animal rushed upon them
and quickly put them to flight. The other villain, find-
ing this, attempted to follow them, but for some time
was unable to escape Mr. Fleet's grasp, who in his turn
became the assailant. Owing, however, to the latter
being somewhat disabled by a recent injury to his knee,
be was unable to hold his prisoner, who escaped.—Maid•

A SCENE in the UNITED STATES'

lIOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
The following extract from an account of the
sitting of the House of Representatives, on the 13th
December, will convey some idea of the manner in
which discussion is carried on by certain members of
that body :

Mr. Brown, of Mississippi, offered a resolution,
that the Hon. H. Cobb be and he is hereby chosen
Speaker of the House for the 31st Congress. He said
that he drew the resolution without consultation
with any of his political friends, or without giving no-
tice that he intended to offer it. It was well known
that the democratic party had a majority in the
House, butthey could not concentrate their power. The
free Boilers belonging to both parties refused to unite
with either. The democratic party, being in a ma-
jority, should have the Speaker. He spoke for him-
self only when he said that he was willing for a fair
division of the offices. The gentleman from North
Carolina (Mr. Stanley) yesterday said that he wanted
a democratic Speaker. _

Mr. Stanley. explained. What he said was, that
sooner than see the House disorganised, he would
take a democratic Speaker. But how did the
gentleman know the democrats have a majority ?
Mr. Brown replied, that if the free soilers were
divided according to their political parties, the de.
mocrats would have a majority of one. The absence
of King, of Georgia, Gentry, of Tennessee, and Julian,
of Indiana, gave them a majority of five.
Mr. Butler (of Pa.) proposed a resolution, leaving
a blank for the insertion of the name of the person
who shall, on the next trial, receive the highest num-
ber of votes. If no election, then the next highest.
Mr. Thomson (of Penn.) offered a resolution
that the members proceed to vote by ballot for
Speaker, and continue to ballot until four o'clock to-
day ; and no motion to adjourn or any other, shall be
received until the arrival of that hour. He urged
the adoption of the resolution.
Mr. Carter off:red an amendment---" That any
person who shall be elected Speaker shall be divested
of the power to construct the District of Columbia
and Territorial Committees, and that the same be
made by a vote of the Hothe." He yielded to
Mr. Harris, of Tennessee, who said that he was one
of those who voted for Brown upon three several
ballotings ; he did so, being deceived by the gentleman
from Indiana.
Mr. Carter resumed, and condemned the ridiculous
attitude of the House—making a grave issue in a
ceremonial manner. He thought that this was below
the manhood of the Home. He proposed to remedy
the difficulty in the resolution. It was only by keeping
up the subterranean discord that the majority was
crippled in its sentiments.
Mr. Meade conceived that neither of the propo•
sitions could reach the evil existing. It was the
existence of a third party that caused the trouble.
If, on the organizition of the House, propositions
were to be introduced to abolish slavery in the dis.
trict of Colombia, or prohibit slavery in the territo-
ries, he trusted in God that his eyes had already rested
on the last Speaker of the House. The south would
resist all aggressions, and the sinews of every man's
arm in that section would be steel.
Mr. Root, in a humorous speech, said that the
proposition of Mr. Carter was like the play of Hamlet
with the character of Hamlet omitted. We were to
have a Speaker who was not to appoint the Commit.
tees. He would not vote for any man who was not
competent to appoint the Committees named. If
there is to be a dissolution of the union, let it come
before the House is organizd, and it would not then
be binding.—(Laughter.) He wanted to be excluded
from the ballot, that his constituents might know how
he votEd.

Mr. Duer said that the resolution of Mr. Brown,
in effect, called upon the Whigs to make an uneon-
dit'onal surrender. He would vote for anybody but
a disunionist to occupy the chair.
A Voice•—There is no such person in the House.

Mr. Duer—l think so.
Voices—Where is he ?
Mr. Duer pointed to Mr. Meade.
Mr. Meade—If the gentleman charges me with
being a disunionist it is false.
Mr. Duer—You are a liar.
Immediately Mr. Meade left his seat on the oppo-
site side of the hall, and rushed towards Mr. Duer.
The parties were not more than four feet apart,
when members rushed between. There were cries
of " fight." The Sergeant-at-Arms hurried down
with the mace of office in his hand. There were
cries of order. Lobby members mounted the side
scenes. Mr. Meade beckoned Mr. Duer to follow
him to the rotunda. There were motions to adjourn,
and the greatest possible disorder.
In a few minues quiet was restored, and
Mr. Duer, after begging the pardon of the House
for his conduct, resumed and concluded his speech.
He thought that if members adjourned for a day they
could then come to a result.
Mr. Toombs made an energetic speech, reviewing
the proceedings of the Free Soilers and Abolitionists,
and insisting upon southern rights. Rather than
submit to further aggression from the north, the
south would resist. He had no hesitation in saying
that he was for disunion, if this state of things should
continue.

The southern members applauded him throughout
his remarks.

Mr. M'Lane proposed to have another trial for the
Speaker, and made some further remarks.
Mr. Baker was in favour of the Wilmot proviso.
11e denied that the people of the north were opposed
to union by advocating such doctrines, and contended
that the majority could prevent the extension of
slavery. In conclusion, he lauded the union, and did
not think it would be dissolved.
He was also applauded.
Messrs. Colcock, Wallace, Hillard, and Stephens,
of Georgia, concurred in the views expressed by Mr.
Toombs. Pass the Wilmot proviso and abolish
slavery in the district of Columbia, and the union
would be dissolved.
Messrs. Cleveland, Allen and M'Clernand made
remarks expressing the northern sentiments.
Mr. Hubbard desired to say, that he addressed a
letter to Mr. Brown, asking him-1. Whether he was
in favour of the Wilmot proviso ? and 2. Whether he
believed that Congress has a right to abolish slavery
in the district of Columbia ? He was pointed by
Mr. Brown to his speech, delivered three or four years
since.

Mr. Conrad expressed his opinion that, so far from
an effort being made to organize the House on
sectional grounds, the difficulty had arisen from the
effort to prevent an organization on such grounds.
lie concurred in much said by the gentleman from
Georgia (Mr. Toombs), but thought that the note of
alarm had been sounded too soon for the south.
Mr. Marshall (of Kentucky) was in favour of a
gentleman not representing any extreme for Speaker,
and hoped that one day would be devoted to the inte-
restsfour o'clock. The House again voted
of the country.

TRADE.
WeTailliuEdedPsoUmlie LtimleSlisince tol the healthy condi-
tion of the London publishing trade, and of the state
of the book market throughout the three kingdoms.
What we observed then has been more than confirmed
by the result of Mr. Murray's great annual trade
sale at the Albion Tavern, in Aldersgate-street,
during the present month. Few of our readers are,
perhaps, aware, that it is the custom of the two great
London houses--M urray's and Longmans'—to put
their books up to a kind of auction every
year; that
the sale is prefaced by a dinner, at which all the
booksellers of " credit ' in London are invited to be
present; and that as soon as the cloth is removed, Mr.
Hodgson, the auctioneer, of Fleet-street, commences
the business of the day,by offering the books seriatim)
as in the printed catalogue, to the attention of the
guests. The practice is not, as at other auctions, to
knock the lot down to the highest bidder, but to
put the book up at a certain price below
what is usually called "subscription price," or, in
other words, below the figure at which the book can
he obtained on any other occasion. It is also the
custom to put up books not ready for delivery, but
only nearly so ; and it is curious to watch the interest
that is felt throughout the room when a book of name
is offered for the first time. It is a matter of
ancient and proper deference to the great houses to
let "the Row" begin. Thus, with a popular work,
Longman will start with 350, Sirnpkin with the
same number, Whittaker with 250, Hamilton and
Adams with the same number, till at last it comes
to twenty-fives and fives, and at times to only one.
Not less interesting is it to behold the eager way in
which the numbers called out are placed promptly on
paper by the several booksellers, or the quick trades-
manlike manner in which they cast up the several
totals, and look with mute astonishment one at another
at the greatness of the demand. Sales of this descrip-
tion are limited to the two houses we have mentioned,
and are always looked forward to with interest as
affording an index of the approaching season. Mr.
Murray's last sale was the best lie has had since his
fathers's death, he disposing of books on that day to
the amount of 19,0001. Nor will this be wondered at
when the numbers sold are put.together. For in-
stance, the trade took on that occasion 2,000 of Lord
Campbell's Chief Justices, 5,000 volumes of The
Colonial Library, 1,400 of Layard's Nineveh, 1,400
of Byron's Works in one volume, 1,300 copies of Mr.
Borrow's new work L'Avengro, 900 of the new
edition of Mr. Cunningham's Handbook for London,
750 of Mr. Grote's Greece, 750 of Mr. Curzon's
Levant, and GOO of M. Guizot's new work. School
books sold in still greater proportions. 5,000 Mark-
ham's Histories, 4,000 Little Arthur's History of
England, 2,000 Wordsworth's Latin Grammar, 1,200
Somerville's Geography, and even Mrs. Rundell,
though thought to be antiquated, maintained her re-
putation with her new dishes and in her new dress.

Authors benefit as well as booksellers by a sale
like this.—Athenoum.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian of this day.)
MANCHESTER, MONDAY.---The very healthy tone
that has characterina our market during the last few
weeks continues to be fully maintained, although the
business doing is considerably curtailed, owing to the
thin attendance on 'Change to-day, of both buyers and
sellers, particularly the latter, there being but few
country manufacturers in town. The Germans are more
eager in their inquiries after yarn to day; and
spinners being in no way disposed to press their
production upon the market, they will probably have
to pay full prices when they operate. In India
qualities business is limited, not for want of demand
but the want of supplies. The home manufacturers
are steady buyers, at full prices. In cloth, the chief
business doing continues to be in qualities suitable for
printing, including everything, from a 31b. 26-inch to
a 91b. Boz. 40 inch. The demand for India qualities
is unchanged. Within the last few days some con-
siderable stocks of 39-inch long cloths have been
cleared out ; and very seldom has a year closed with
stocks so light, on the whole, of both yarn and cloth,
as 1849.
Hoc ADALE, MONDAT.—We have had but a poor
attendance of buyers in the market to day, and but
very little business was transacted. In wool there is
no change either in price or demand since last Monday.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—Trade here goes on
steadily, without any undue excitement. Hands
are all well employed, and, with good wages and
cheap provisions, have not been so well for
years. The demand for manufactured goods keeps
pace with the production, and a cotinuance of
this will, no doubt, tend to remunerative prices
from present high rates of silk. The only branch of
the trade we have complaints of is the thrown silk
department, where, as yet they have failed to
establish a rise in prices equal to :that on raw
silk; but, should the inquiry for export con-
tinue, added to diminished imports of foreign
thrown, we may hope to see that equilibrium in
prices established, which is at all times desirable, to
promote a healthy state of things. We think the ap-
pearances for the opening of the new year are favour-
able. The dyers continue full of work. Prices are
very firm in the raw silk market.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY..—The market has not
been brisk, but a fair business has been done in long
woollens. In fancy goods there is a slight im-
provement, and the prospects for the spring trade
look well.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.--We cannot note any par-
ticular change in the aspect of our Piece Hall to-day,
except that a few German merchants were on the
look out for job lots of fancy goods; but, as stocks
are far from large, and the demand is tolerably steady,
job lots, at low figures, are not readily to be met
with. The inquiry for yarns has undergone no
diminution, and they go off freely at improving
quotations. Long wools maintain their firnmess, and
a moderate quantity is changing hands. Short wools
are in better request, at advancing rates.
LEEDS, TUESDAY.—There has not been much done
in the Cloth Hulls either to-day or Saturday, but the
deliveries direct to the merchants have in some cases
been considerable. Business in the warehouses is
good, and there are confident expectations entertained
of a!good foreign trade. On the whole prices are
higher.

DEATH FROM WANT AND EXPOSURE TO THE COLD.
—Yesterday afternoon au inquest was taken before Mr.
Wakley, the deputy coroner, in the board room of
Holborn workhouse, respecting the death of a male
person, apparently about forty altars of age, at present
unknown, who died from want and exposure to the cold,
under the following very shocking circumstances:—Tbe
body of the deceased presented a most frightful appear-
ance, and was entirely covered with filth and dirt. It
appeared from the evidence of several witnesses that,
shortly after nine o'clock on Friday morning last, Mrs.
Martha Gibbs, a married woman, residing at No. 11,
. Tyndall-buildings, Gray's Inn lane, was suddenly
alarmed by hearing some person moaning in the cellar
at the basement of the house. She instantly went to
the spot, and found the deceased lying in one corner
of the cellar, huddled up', in a quantity of filth and
dirt. The decayed appeared perfectly insensible, and
. Mrs. Gibbs immediately obtained the assistance of
several police-constables, who had the deceased removed
to Holborn-workhouse. He was literally black from the
dirt in which he had been lying, and his body was ex-
He

the deceased never rallied, and died shortly afterwards.
' Two penny pieces were found placed upon two ulcers on
the deceased's legs, and a few pieces of stale bread were
also discovered in his pockets. The deceased obtained
admission to the cellar by means of the window which
looked into the street. The coroner remarked that the
cellar appeared to be in the same bad condition as before
the cholera broke out. The parochial authorities ought
to have the place thoroughly cleaned every week. The
jury returned a verdict of death from exhaustion, caused
by exposure to the cold, and the want of the common
necessaries of life.
BOUNDARY LINE OF CALIFORNIA AND MEXICO.—
upon the occasion of fixing upon the starting point of
the southern boundary of California by the joint com-
mission of the United States and Mexico, the American
Commissioners (including Colonel Weller) rode down
from San Diego to the " Punta" to meet the Mexican
Commissioners, for the purpose of settling upon a boun-
dary line. Having met, they rode to the southermost
point on the bay of San Diego, and then to the other
end of the Marine League. After a few minutes' con-
sultation the point was decided upon, and they returned
to Mr. Gray's camp at the Punta. Having partaken of a
cold collation, they started for San Diego, 18 miles distant,
and arrived there the same night. The starting point of
the boundary line thus determined on is on the extremity
of the table land, as you approach the bay, and is the

some future day. On the 10th of October the Commis-
sioners again met and jointly signed a paper, written in
Spanish and English, to the effect that this was the point
determined upon by the joint Commissioners of the
American and Mexican Governments, under the treaty
of Guadeloupe Hidalgo, as the starting point on the
Pacific for the boundary between the two republics.
This paper was inclosed in a glass bottle, and placed in
the bottom of a hole in the earth, three feet in depth.
Some shovels full of earth were then thrown upon the
bottle by Colonel Weller on behalf of the American,
and General Conde on behalf of the Mexican Govern-
ment. An upright post was then planted in the hole, to
mark the spot. During these ceremonies the counte-
nances of the Mexican Commissioners exhibited a re-
markable degree of gravity ; they did not forget that
they were affixing the last seal to the treaty for the dis-
memberment of their republic.—New York Paper.
FOREIGN PAPER.—An importation having taken
place of a quantity of paper, for letter-writing, having a
name and address in the top left-hand corner, it was at
first considered to be an illegal importation, as having
the names, marks, or brands purporting to be those of
manufacturers in this kingdom, but it being subse-
quently found to have been imported merely for the
parties' private use, and that the name and address in
the margin were his own, which he affirmed to be the
case, directions were given for the paper to be delivered
on payment of the proper duties leviable thereon.
TRINITY-HOUSE.—We have to record the demise
at his residence at Woodford, of Captain Abel Chapman,
the senior of the elder brethren of the Corporation of the
Trinity-house. The deceased was in his 98th year, and
had been a member of that corporation upwards of half a
century, having been elected cue of the elder brethern
in
1795. Ile was most deservedly respected by a very
numerous circle of friends.
TILE INVENTOR OF THE BLOCK MACHINERY.--
A correspondent of the Builder says—" Some of your
contemporaries, in their notice of the late Sir M. I.
Brunel, have claimed too much for him. The original
inventor of the block machinery was Walter Taylor, an
Englishman. He took out a patent for it, and for years
supplied the navy with blocks. When his patent ex-
pired he tried to get an extension of it, and, on foiling,
Government employed Brunel to set it up at Portsmouth.
He imp.oved and added to it, but ho has not the least
right to the credit of the original invention. If this be
questioned, you shall have a full statement from the best
authority."

HULL, JAN. 1.
Messrs. Taylor and Bright's circular states:—The
proceedings of the week have again partaken more of
a holiday than a business character, but more firmness
is evident in each article of the trsde, and which is
warranted and encouraged by the paucity of arrivals
from abroad. We had a return of frost on the 20th,
and it has continued since with more or less severity,
accompanied by an occasional but not heavy downfall of
snow. To-day the temperature is somewhat milder.
There was a good attendance of farmers at our market
this day, and a fair show of wheat, but the feeling being
to take advantage now the navigation is closed, and hold
for some advance, best runs could not be obtained under
Is to 23 over the improvement of last week, but interior
qualities did not participate; our millers were tolerably
free buyers. In foreign but little business transpired
landed parcels being held for some advance. Very little
doing in malting barley, hut rather more inquiry for
grinding qualities at late prices, and not much offering.
In other descriptions of spring corn but little doing.
The linseed market is fully as dear, with depressed
supplies; linseed cakes are much the same in value, but
demand is slow for the season of the year. No rapeseed
on the market, and cakes, being mostly landed, are held
for a smart advance on late low rates. Without arrivals
of bones, the market is inanimate.

ATIIOFDUNCAN, THE AFRICAN TEAVELLER.-•'"
Died, on Saturday, the 3d of November, on board her
Mal;Kingfisher, in the Bight of Benin, Mr.
John Duncan, the African traveller. Mr. Duncan wee
the son of a small farmer in Wigtonshire, North Britain.
At an early age be enlisted in the First Regiment of
Life Guards, in which he served with credit for eighteen
years, and discharged himself with a high character for
good conduct about the year 1840. In the voyage to the
Niger, in 1842, Mr. Duncan was appointed armourer,
and during the progress of that ill-fated expedition he
held a conspicuous place in all the treaties made by the
commissioners with the native chiefs. He returned to
England, one of the remnant of the expedition, with
frightful wound in his leg and a shattered body, frottl
which he long suffered. With a return of health, how'
ever, came a renewed desire to explore Africa, and,
under the auspices of the Council of the Geographical
Society, he started in the summer of 1844, not without
substantial proofs from many of the members of the
interest they took in his perilous adventure. The par'
titulars of his journey along the coast until hill arrival in Dahomey were detailed in letters to hi 9
friends, and published in the " Geographical Society'l
Journal Of that period. From Dahomey he again
returned to the etast, having traversed a portion 01,
country hitherto untrodden by European, but broke!!
down in health, and in extreme suffering from the old
wound in his leg. Fearful that mortification had cetn'
menced, he at one time made preparations for cutt
05
his own limb, a fact which displays the wondertulli
great resolution of the man. All these journeys were
undertrk ,n on a very slenderly furnished purse, which+
on his arrival at Why dah, was not only totally exhausted/
but he was compelled to place himself in "pawn," as he,
expressed it, for advances which would take years 01
labour on the coast to liquidate. From that disagreeable
position his friends of the Geographical Society sooe,
relieved him by an amplek.subscription, with which be
proposed to make a journey from Cape Coast to Tina'
buctoo, but the state of his health compelled him to re;
turn to England. He was lately appointed Vice-Consul
to Dahomey, for which place he was on his Ray whet'
he died. Mr. Dunean leaves a wife, who is, we believe,
but poorly provided for.—Liverpool
