CAPTAIN PARRY'S EXPEDITION.

(FROM TIM LITERARY CASETTE.)

An account, though cireniton,ly r.c •ivrii, we are re-
joked to learn, affords fair hopes of the safety and ;:t,
cess of the Expedition under the command of Capta'n
Parry. It is derived from Russia, and communicated to
our Board of Admiralty. The particulars are, that sere.
rat fishing vessels, belonging to lisiutclialca and the
Aleutian Islands, saw our illustrious navigators off It y
Cape. The Rnssian Commandant (I(rusenstern is the
name given to the Literary Gazette) states, that on ie_
ceiving this intelligence he examined the masters of rde
vessels separately, and that their rel,.tiol of the fat
t
agreed in every circumstance; and lie exprees himself
to be entirely satisfied of the truth of their report. 1 his
is great anti gratifying news ; for if it Ito correct, which
there is good reason to believe it i,, tl:en is the err. ;
geographical problem s)lved which has excited so inten• e
an in.erest, and to &Big!' intrepidity and perseverance
is owing another of those cramd discoveries which form
epochas in the history of the world. As Icy Cape las
been reached from BAring's Straits; ns it is indeed
yearly visited Icy small Ritstdan ships, all apprelten.iou
about our bold navigators will heat an od so soon as the
tidings are confirmed, and we shall only have to curb our
impatience for letters from our not lc countrymen, now
happily, we trust, ploughing the Pacific Ocem: ton their
howeward way.

CONS'S WHY COURT.

A ouvrErts.—Yesterday. Hr. SIVADFT sat as judge in
the Consistory Court for the diocese of Rochester. .ludi-
ment was pronounced in the case of Beet v. Best.
This was a suit, brought originally by Mrs. Elizatelt
Best, the wife of Mr. Best, a wealthy Brewer at Got-
terbury, for a divorce a ',tens,: st Moro. and a separa e
maintenance, on the ground of cruelty. In bar of this
suit it nas pleaded respensively on the part of Mr. Best,
that she had been guilty of adultery, and that her charge
of cruelty was not true ; and lie soefrlit a divorce on the
ground of adultery. The circumstances have already
ben stated.
The COCKT were of opinion that the conduct of Frs.
Best had, upon the whole, been snch, and the provoca-
tion she had given her husband to strong, as to disenti-
tle her to any relief: therefore dismissed her suit.
TI e Learned JUDGE then entered at great length into
the consideration of the case of Ntr. Best, who, lie said,
had been guilty of such neglect of duty as a husband as
to-diaentitle him to relief. The Court therefore dismis-
sed his suit also.

COraT OP KING'S BENCH, YX•TEP.DAY.—In the actlott

Jury to assess the dalliers; but as at pres.oit advised, he

OLD BAILEY, THIS YORNlNG.—Charles Cleft was put to
the liar to plead to several indictments for passing St. mid
10/. notes. The prisoner, though admonished by Baron
Graham, and Mr. Justice Park, persisted in au intention he
had avowed to plead guilty. Tae inrictment was then read
to him, to which he pleaded gruPty, ard the plea was 3.:-
cordiagly recorded.
Yesterday, /V.Bing:eti re. placed at the liar, rtandlng
charged with the wilful murder of Gererge Denham.
From the evidence adduced it appeared that the

ond fell down in the street from the effecte of a blew, end
re eyed a wound on his head which occasioned his
death. Verdict—Mansli.ughler.

attee, aged 17, was put to the liar, charged with the lef
till murder of her male infant child, in the parish
Pancras. This, from the evident eof the mistrees
