SOUTHERN, OR ANTARCTIC CONTI-Yr:IT

This important discovery, which will be atteneed
with incalculable advantage to our trade in the Souzis
Seas, was made last year by a Mr. SSIITIT, Master
the William, of Blythe, in Northumberland. Cur
South Sea traders, who, during hostilities betweel
this country and Spain, have been subjected to fee
greatest difficulties and privations, will now be inLlX-
pendent of Spain, or any other Power posses,ing
South America. Mr. SMITH ran for two or duce
hundred miles along this Coininea, which forme,'
large bays, abounding with the spermarezi ss?tal;
seals, &c. The diatip,hts. and scundings taken ha
the discoverer are in the possession c.f our (ieee:r.-
nient. The following brief account has been givea
of the discovery:
" A Mr. Slang, Master of the William, of Blythe, in Nreth-
umberland, and trading between the trio de la Plata and Ch...,
in endeavouring to facilitate his passage round Cape Horn, kat
year, ran to a higher latitude than is Lsual in such voyages, e 1
in lat. 62. 30. and 60. West long. discovered land. As circum-
stances would not admit of a close examination, he deferred it
until his return to Buenos Ayres, when he made such feather
observations as convinced him of the importance of his discos, t•,
On making it known at Buenos Ayres, speculation was set ta
the alert, and the Americans at that place became very :mak. s
to obtain every information necessary to their availing Lbw..
selves cf a discovery which, they saw, was pregnant with
benefit to a commercial people. Captain Swint was, breves-el,
ton much.of an Englishr.'an to assist their speculations, by a'.
fording them that knowled:Te of his secret, which it was so ne-
cessary for them to possess; and was determined that his na.
country only should enjoy the advantages of his discaver ;
on his return voyage to Valparaiso, in February last. he deem:: I
as much time to the developement of ft as was conststeut w .h
his primary object, a safe and successful voyage.
" lie ran in a Westward direction along the coasts, either 'f
' a Continent or numerous Islands, for two or three haedtad
miles,-forming large bays, and abounding with the vermeil
whale, seals, &c. ble took numerous soundings and hearia:.,
draughts, and chart of the coast; and, in short, did everyl7trag
that the most experienced navigator, dispatched purposely fc:
the object of making a survey, could do. He even landed, and
in the usual manner took possession of the country fcr his So-..
'reign, and .named his acquisition NEW Scum &at-exam). Tie
climate was temperate, the coast mountainous, rppareetiv nair-
habited, but not destitute of vegetarian, as firs and pines wc-e
observable in many places ; in short; the country bad, upon t; e
whole, the appearance of the coast of Norway. After havirg
satisfied himself with every particular that time and (beer-
' stances permitted him to examine, he bore away to the Novi,
and pursued-his voyage.
" On His'arrival at Valparaiso, he communicated his discovery
to Captain Snisastr, of his Majesty's ship ANDROZIACIM, celci
happened to be there. Captain tinialeare immediately felt the
importance of the communication, and lost nut a moment in
making every arrangement for following it up; he immediately
dbipitched the William, with Officers from ,he Allir/ROMACIiF;
and in this stage the last letters from Chili left the Exp diner,
with the most unguiee expectatiou of success, and ultimate ad-
vantages resulting from it; and, if we are correctly infertned, a
fully-detailed narrative has been forwarded to Governmere
" On taking a cursory view of the charts of the Southern At-
lantic and Pacific Oceans, it will be seen, that though Captala
Coos penetrated to a much higher latitude, and consequeetty
drew his conclusion from observing nothing but vast mountains
of ice, it will be seen also, that his meridian was forty-five de-
grees further to the West of New South Shetland, leaving a
vast space unexplored on the parallel cf 62. between that ad
Sandwich Land, in longitude about 28. West. He again crate
67. or thereabouts, but in longitude 137: to 147. West. Pr.
Roust ascended no higher than 60. 80. Vascouvan about 55.
other navigators passing the Straights of Magellan ar.d Ie
Maire; and most of them passing as close to Cape Horn as rte..
sible, in order, as they thought, to shorten the passage to the Pa-
cific are circumstances that reasonably account for therotrac-ed
period to which so important a discovery has been delay:l

Candid Examination of Professional Pretens:ors

Impressed at an early period of our professional career oith

purposes, consider ourselves justly entitled to that aph..-robatr.ca
and patronage which, for twenty years, have rewarded our m:-
cessful and devoted studies. The estimation of our enlighterti
brethren, who frequently appeal to our opinion, is an additir7-71
gratification to our pride, while our authority -from the Ccii:;t
itself, strengthened as it is by the most enthusiastic testimori
of almost every Professor in the British Metropolis, must e•
protect the sanctity of our fame from, envy or mierepreeentatirc.
The impetuosity of youth, or the momentary want of (TWA
in the maturer man, often lead to the effects of i contagious e l-
ease; happy therefore, may the early applicant be called, s bre
anxiety can be alleviated by a few days care; and even in ..2
more advanced stages, characterized by numerous symptorA
we can illustrate our assertion, by rendering :he trea!ment
