THE DUKE OF JvORTHUMBERLAND.

CANTERECK MAY 3.
His Grace the Duke of NostritumaastLAND and suite,
arrived in, this City on Monday Rvorningt and after
changing horses at the Fountain, proceeded to Bourne
Place, the residence. of his cousin/ the Honourable
and Venerable Archdeacon PERCY, where his Grace
dined and slept, and proceeded the following morning
to Dover. Owing to a mistake of the intended time of
arrival, the Guard of Honour was not out to escort his
Grace through the City, but proceeded at a rapid rate
after the illustrious object of their pursuit, presenting
rather a novel moths of escorting. The bells of the Cs.

tliedral rang a merry peal, and a large concourse of
spectatori assembled in the streets, expecting a grand
procession; in this they were, however. disappointed, as
the eat riages containing the Nobiliiy, &c. composing his
Grace's suite, continued to arrive in a straggling man
ner throughout the evening. There have been a greater
number of arrivals and departures for Daver the last
few days, than have been witnessed for some time.
DOVER, MAY S.
This morning, his Grace the Duke of NORTH vaiszit-
LAND arrived at PAYNE'S York Hotel. His suite, which
consisted of ten carriages, ari ived yester day. His Grace
was received with every demonstration of respect, and
the usual discharge of artillery from the Heijhts over-
hanging this ancient port : a numerous retinue of horses
and servants having arrived at the York Hotel some days
perique. On Sunday, two large Government steam-
vessels came into the harbour, for the purpose of con-
veying the Duke across the Channel, and in which his
Grace and suite embarked, amidst the universal huzzas
of thousands of spectators, who thronged the Pier-heads,
with every prospect of making Calais in less than three
hours. On leaving the harbour, the cannon again re-
sounded from the batteries, to which a man-of-war,
lying in the Roads and intended as a convoy, replied, by
thing a royal salute as the steam•vessel approached her.

ARCTIC LAND EXPEDITION.
A Correspondent in a Morning Paper enquires by
what means ibtelligeuce has been obtained at the arrival
of Captain FAMMILLIS and his party tit New York, as no
*ten either public or private have bees received from
them? We can answer him by stating, that the fact
was known through the United States Papers, in 'bids
it was announced, and we subjoin from the Awry
Argus of the 4th ulu some farther information relating
to our enterprising fellow-countrymen:
" The Others of tbs. Arctic Land Expedition, con.
skiing of Captain. Franklin, Commander; Lieutenant
Kendall, Astronomer ; Dr. Richardson, Sur eon and
Naturalist ; Lieutenant Bark, Survey or ; and -Dm ob.
mond, Botanist, passed through Albany during the last
week, on their way to. York, Upper Canada... The
whole party will assemble at Bear Lake, and in the
spring of 18% will descend WlLenzie River, embark on.
the Polar Sea in July of the same-year, and sail west-
wardly towards Icy Cape. Should they not there meet
with Captain Parry, the Blossom, of 28 guns (which
has lately sailed from England to the South Seas), will
• be found waiting at Behring's &rain, in the event of
the expedition reaching that point. It is intended, on
reaching *Kenzie River, that a party shall proceed
eastward and explore the line of coast between that and
Coppermine River. A detachment of the same expe-
dition has gone on by way of Hudson's Bay."
