THE WHALE SHIPS.

•, The owners of the whale ships, which it is supposed are
encircled by the ice in the Arctic Seas, had a meeting at the
Mansion-house, Hull, in the early part of the last week, at
which a second memorial was agreed to. and.tiansmitted to the
lords of the Admiralty, praying their lordships to take the sub-
ject into further consideration. Mr. C. Wood, in answer to
this communication, informed the memorialists that the Admi-
ralty Board had sent Captain James Ross to Hull, for the pur-
pose of ascertaining what assistance could be sent to these ves-
sels. We have been favoured with the sight of a letter from
Hull to a house in this town, the subjoined extract from which
will explain the preparations making for the relief of the suf-
ferers :

" Hull, December 16th, 1835.
By the annexed copy of resolutions you will find that. it has
been determined to send out an expedition to Davis' Straits, to
relieve the vessels beset in that sea, The Core has been select-
ed for the pnrpose, and she will sail as soon as she can be got
ready, under the command of Captain James Ross, accompani-
ed by Captain ilnuiphreys, a very active and intelligent man,
and of great experience in tae attic regions. The cure wilt
have a crew- of sixty picked men; her equipments, being found
by government, under the superintendence of Captain Ross,
who is now here, will be .of the most extensive description.
The circumstance of Captain Ross having selected the Core is
tY proof of her good state of repair and general eligibility."

MUNICIPAL ELECTION.

PUBLIC MEETING OF THE CONSERVATIVES.

. . .
Yesterday a public meeting of the Conservatives was held in
the Large. Hoorn, at the Golden Lion Inn, Dale-street, in order
‘• to make such further arrangments as might be (leeched expe-
dient fur securipg the election of fit and proper persons to to re-
present the several wards in the new town council." About
a thousand persons were present, and the room was nearly full.
Wm. Smith, Esq., took the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, iu opening the business of the meeting, said,
—Gentlemen, as the chairman under whose directien the mu-
nicipal election, on the part of the conservatives, has hitherto
been conducted, I feel it my duty at this crisis, and in the strug-
gle which is about to take place, to lay before yon a brief ac-
count of the proceedings which have been adopted in order to
return fit and proper persons to the new council for this
borough. (Loud cheers ) I need not remind the meeting
I believe, that the committee to which I have alluded was ap-
pointed at a most important and spirited meeting which took
place on the 26th October last. It is only necessary to run
over the list of the committee to satisfy this meeting that it em-
bodied no inconsiderable portion of intelligence and energy
united in one common object to promote the good of this
town,—of the merchants, and of the tradesmen. (Cheers.)
Mr. Wright will read over to you the list of the Committee,
and afterwards the report of the proceedings. (Cheers.).
Mr. PETER Walcriir then read over the names of the Com-
mittee, and also the report of the proceedings of that Com-
mittee, as follows:
