CAPTAIN FARRY.

. -....--

- -
We regret to learn that that active and enterprising
Officer, Captain PARRY, has reached his native count' y
in a state of serious indispositihn. The fatigues which
he has undergone have been Si) severe as to affect his
health, and he is at present too unwell to enter upon
any discussion of the great objects of the Expedition
on which he has been engaged: we can therefore add
little to what has already been published respecting the
voyage just concluded : at the same time, it may not be
unacceptable to our Readers to cast a retrospective
view on the measures which preceded it, and the ob-
jects which it was intended to pursue.
A letter from Shetland says, " So late as the 17th
ult.they had coritinued beset with ice, in the spot their
progress was arrested last year, so that they have had
an astonishing fine run • homewards; they have neve'
been able to penetrate beyond the 87th degree, West
longitude.* After they got clear of the ice, it was Capt.
Parry's intention to have taken the greater part of the
•remaining-provisions out of his consort, sent her home,
and persevered himself, but strong symptoms of scurvy
just then made their appearance, which determined him
to give it up.
The following is from the Hull Paper:
44 At the time a our writing this, the ships are in
Grimsby roads, into which they have put for want of
pilots southward. Early this morning, a boat with six
men, commanded by, a mate, arrived here for the pur-
pose of obtainiogthem. As might be expected from
sailors in the King's service, they are rather shy in their
,communications; but we have learnt froth them, that
they left the ice on the 17th ult. They speak in the
higheA terms of their Officers, through whose care the
crews have been remarkably healthy.
I 44 They talk of a passage from Hudson's Bay to the
Polar Sea, but they have in fact been in the Bay during
the whole of their sojourn in the north, and not so far
west as when formerly at Lancaster Sound. Of course,
'the Bay has been completely explored. They have seen
various tribes of inhabitants in the scattered islands.—
They say that the ships were so well provisioned, that
they could have held out another year, at the rate they
have been living at. Divine Service has been pei formed
every Sunday morning during their absence`; and*
through the winter months, whilst the ships were sta-
tionary, they were in the habit of walking two miles
ever day for exercise, either on land or on the
-Thosy e men whom we have seen look remarkably well
and are in great spirits."
• We understand the highest latitude they reached was 69,e• an2ld
that of the two years and a half they were absent, they wer
--ohs frozen in.

Letters from Trieste state, that the import int island
of Mitylene, containing nearly 80,000 inhabitants, has
risen ; that the Turks, who are not numerous in this
island, have been shut up in the castle, and that a Pro-
visional Government has been established, at the head
of which is the Bishop of the Island, under the title of
Primate.—This news appears to want confirmation.
The Edinburgh Courant contains a melancholy list of
the Poyais Emigrants who perished after their arrival
in the inhospitable country to which they had unfor-
tunately consigned themselves, in- consequence of the
temptation held out by the Poyais speculation. Some
unforttinate adventurers who survived, have been sent
home through the humanity of the Belize merchants,
and are now in 'the Royal Infit mary, Edinburgh.
"%Valiant Law: cabinet. maker, of Edinburgh, anciGeorge
`Davis, labourer, were drowned by the savage natives,
Who had engaged to convey them in a canoe to Belize.
A person named Frazer was thrown overboard also, and
saved himself by swimming. Five of the savages were
taken into custody, and were to be tried at Belize.
A WANTON AND FOOLISH FROLlC.—Between eight
and nine o'clock on Saturday evening, a party of young
Gentlemen -tied a quantity of knockers, which had been'
brokdn off the ,doors of some tradesmen's houses the,
same evening, to the knocker'of the Marlborough-street
Office door, to which they appended the following,
epistle, written in'a verj beautiful engrossing hand. It
was addressed to the Chief Mkgisitate: •

44 Sts-.-I am vetted to do this as the only means of dons. instice
,to an **red few, who have been pillaged of their knockers by a
set of Fripons, who delight in lightening the Public of that invalu..
able appendage. You may depend that this is the last time I will
t=rend my clemency to them. The nest offence they
commit they
shall suffer that squirrelising torment which you have such a knack
Of apportioning to crime. It would be diabolical if they think to
do so. But I need not request your clemency, as they are all very
poor. By my aronical lota you May conclude I bad a hand in the
outrage, but believe Ste, no I have not enough brass to do so.
