NORTH POL4R EXPEDITION.
In allusion to the bottle said to be sent adrift by
the Officers in that Expedition, and picked up by the
Fame merchant-vessel, the Taunton Courier observes.

" Accounts of the above nature are quite ludicrous, and are
mere experiments oa public credulity. That the bottle, as stated,
has been picked up may have been the fact, but that it was sent
adrift for the putpoae of a hoax, there cannot,be a moment's
doubt. For instance, the time at which it is represented to have
been thrown overboard (the 7th of January) is rather unluckily
selected, being precisely that at which the ships must have been
frozen up, and in winter quarters, and when the ocean is so
completely filled up with mountainous ice, chat to distinguish
sea from land is scarcely possible, and to obtain a drop of water
at such a time, except by melting the snow, is altogether impos-
sible.—Another circumstance which renders the fabrication self-
evident, is, that in every bottle thrown overboard by Captain
Paaar, the statements are printed in different languages, re-
questing the person who shall pick them up, of whatever nation,
to forward them to the Secretary of the Admiralty, which pa-
pers simply contain a statement of the latitude and longitude of
the ships, signed by the Commander of the Expedition.'

Enotian OrzaA.MATHZWS again delighted e'

MARGATE, AUGUST 28.—1 n consequence of the
unsettled state of the weather, for many weeks past,
the number of visitors has been much less here than
last year, notwithstanding the many attractions and
amusements of this delightful summer residence.]
Among the•latter may be mentioned, those of the,
Theatrical Company, including Miss C&ARA FISHER;
Messrs. KNIGHT, WEER, &c. the Evening Conceits,
and Promenades at the Assembly Rooms; the Rane-
lagh, Public breakfasts and dances at St. Peter's, &c. A
Jiberal collection was made at the Church bn Sunday
last, for the benefit of the Margate Sea-bathing In-
firmary, after an eloquent discotirse, by the Rev. Dr.l
Russet.. On Tuesday last we experienced a tremen-
dous storm of thunder and rain, which surpassed
anything of the kind ever remembered here, and
created much alarm both here and at Ramsgate. It
lasted about two hours, during which the sky was
involved in awful darkness ; the rain fell in torrents,
and unluckily the tide being at the same time full in,
the cellars of many houses in the lower parts of the
town, both at Margate and Ramsgate, were several
feet under water. Fortunately no accident happened
at either place from the lightning.
Count Betteru, who has so frequently annoyed
Prince ESTERHAZY, and whose appeal to the KING ill]
Council we stated to have been heard on Saturday;,

and he has been ordered to be sent off to-the Cone
tinent, in the custody of a King's Messenger.
