LAND EXPEDITION TO THE NORTH POLE.
The final orders from the Lord, of the Admiralty for
the sailing of the expedition to co-operate with Captain
Parry, in the event of being able to meet in the Arctic
regions, were received on Wednesday evening; and
the Griper, which is to take nut the expedition and pro-
ceed with it, was immediately swung upon the buoy in
the tier in readiness for departure in the morning.—
Captain Lyon came on board at ten o'clock on Wednes-
day night, anJ was accompanied by the whole of his
v/fficers. The crew were on board the transports, and
on shore, and were, by permission, allowed to remain
with their friends, to enjoy the festivities of Greenwich
Fair, and were not mustered until half-past nine o'clock
yesterday morning; they were inspected by Captain
Lynn and his °Ulcers. Tip:: men appeared in excellent
health and spirits. At ten o'clock the Commander,
from the quarter-deck, gave the signal for sailing, and
the" Blue Peter" was run up. The Comet steam-yacht
was then towed alongside, and mooted fast to the
griper. Notwithstanding the incessant rain, which at
this moment came down in torrents, the shores and
dock-yards wege hired with spectators, who seemed to
take a great interest in the departure of the hardy ad-
♦enturers. A few minutes after ten o'clock, the tide
serving, the Comet proceeded to " cleave the liquid
way," with the Griper in company. The crews of the
different ships in the River gave three cheers as the
Griper passed down, which were answered by her crew.
The departure of the vessel produced a very great exci-
tation of sympathy among the spectators. The Griper
is in fine saili;u trim, and her tonnage does not now
exceed 350 tons, having unshipped a great part of her
stores into the Snap transport, which accompanies her
to Davis's Straits. The crew of the Griper is composed
of only n 3 men, who ale comers tried by tight officers,
not including the Gentlemen who accompany the expe-
dition for scientific pm-poses. The ves.el v.-erit as la. as
Northfleet yesterday, where the remainder of the stores
were to be taken on board, and the arms and ammuni-
tion shipped. All the iastruments of science have been
on board some days. Upwards of 6,000 persons visited
the (3r ipet within the last few weeks.

LAIV REPORT.
COURT OF EXCHEQUER, JUNE 10.
THE KING V. APPERLEY.

Mr. CLARK said this was an action against tl:e de-
fendant, Charles Janes Appei ley, to recover a balance
of 20e/. 11:11. due by him as Paymaster of the Anciert
British .Fenciblei. This corps bad belonged to the Irish
and English Estabi ish meras,but it was upon the latter that
this balante was clhimed. Mr. G. B. Watscri, clerk in
the War Office, produced the regimental pay lists for
five months, signed by the defendant. lie charged
himself with a sum total of 18.683/. 13s. 53d. and
took credit for 18.303/. 18s. O'd. leaving a balance of
3'771. 14s. .5 of which sum 171/. 4s. sd. was obtained
from the detend:int's Agents, leaving the above balance
of 2061. 10s. The accounts we;e up to the disbanding
of the regiment in 180(; witness did not know the de-
fendant ; was only made acquainted ss ith this demand
in 1811 ; nor did he know the defendant was not of age
until after the accounts were closed.

Mr. 13nouorram said, that however hard it might be
against the defendant, he was aware a verdict must go
against him. The fact, however, wa,, that the defen-
dant intrusted the affair to other Fersoi,;, and he knew
nothing of any haiance remaining for eleven years, The
only person who could be a witness was Colonel War-
dle, who had been many years, and is now abroad,
therefore he was i!privetl of any means of negativing
this claim. Verdict for the Crown.—Damages 2061.10 i.

A SNIP IN LEATHER ! A New York
Paper says:—The schooner Eliza is now sheathing with
leather, by the way of proving the use of leather for
the above purpose, a.: a substitute for copper, zinc, &c.
A vessel lately made a voyage of 37 months, which, on
her departure, had a side 01 sole leather put on her
bottom, and on her retm II it was found 10 be unii,jur ed.
Leather, it appears, is not subject to decay in water, or
to be eaten by worms.
A Sheffield Paper states, that a few days ago, at a
neighbouring village, four men agreed to play the bear
and dogs themselves. They went down on all fetus,
and fell to biting, tearing, and worrying °ix another,
when the poor fellow that acted the bear was so knocked
about and lacerated, that he was glad to stand upright
again as soon as he could.
A serious accident occurred on Tuesday evening, on
the return from the fight. Three young men in a taxed
cart were travelling between Petworth and Godalming,
when the horse took fright at suite music returning
from a Whit-Tuesday F.dr, and precipitated the gig
into a hollow of 1G fl et from the road. One of them,
the drivel, of the name of lletherington, had a leg anti
an arm broken, another was carried into a farm-howe
dead, and the third was shockingly bruised. The three
were residents of Motile, Surrey, and were very repect-
able young men.
Trie LATE ME. HARRIS AND SOIIIIA STOCKF.—
An altercation has for several days past existed between
the Committee of the unfortunate Ira ris and the parish
officers of Beddington, as to which panty was liable to
pay the expenses incurred there by the lamentable;
affair. It appears that after the Coroner's Jury had re-
tut ned their verdict, they sat down to a dinner, for which.
was charged ss. per head. The Conmittee have re-
fused to defray this expense, on the grounds of its being
not or.ly an exorbitant, but an illegal charge, according
to the law relative to Coroners' Inquests, which only
awards 4d. to each Juryman. The Committee have
also rejected pay ing the expenses incurred at Mr.
Georges, the Plough, by Sophia Stocks, and contend
that the whole amount should fall upon the parish, as
in all other cases of accident. The parish officer s, how-
ever, are of a different opinion, and are determined to
enforce the payment of the bill from the Committee, and
have refused to give up the watch and pencil-case
belonging to Mr. Richmond, the clerk at Bow-street,
and also the duplicate of Mr. Harris's watch, which
was pledged far 6/. 10s.
