The following letter has been sent to us yesterckv.
We most anxiously hope that the intelligence which it
conveys will be found correct :

TO THE EDITOR OF THE DUBLIN EVENING POST.
Denmark-street, February ith. It;20.

" SlR—Flaring this moment receives( the f”lhmilit!
interesting information from Mr. John Jl•Tari•h,
Montreal, and not seeing any notice of it in the 1.014
London Papers, I have to request you will give it A
place in your Paper. Mr. M‘Tarish is one of the princi-
pal merchants of Montreal, and one of the North-We-4
Company. I send you, word for word, the extract from
his letter, without any continent on my part, and rennin
your most obedient servant,

JAM S 8 M`Pot GALP."
' Montreal, December 27,

' A messenger arrived from the Indian country, about
an hour ago, with the pleasing intelligence that the
North-West Passage had been found by the ships sent
out from England last gummy. They made their pas-
sage good through tine of the Sounds in BaAin's Ilay,
and had readied the mouth of the Coppermine river,
where the vessels were secured for the winter, and Mr.
114er, or //4Ther, was sent to find out any of the
agents atoll. 1 pang, to whom he was to deliver the
dispatch, snit then return to his chip. The dispatch
was delivered to Mr. Grant, who sent it on immediately
to this plane it is just setting olf for Quebec to the
Acting Governor. The post is setting oK for .New
York, and I have only time to say, that I hope this say
reach you f111)11. All further particulars you will soots
hear: but all that I have told you is all that I have my-
self heard. JoHN APTAITE.H.'

With respect to the name of Hoffer, or Heffner, men•
tisaned in the extrnrt from M,. 51'Tarish's letter, it at.-
fords us a strong corroboration of the probability of the
intelligence. lu looking over an arehunt of Captain
Ross's Voyage, for the MIMES of the ()Seers sin hoard
the Expedition, we could not, it is true. find the name of
Huffer, or lloffner; but, in Lientenant, now Captain
Parry's ship, the Alrramiler, we find the name of
Lieutenant H. P. Horpaer, the son, we belie% e, of the
celebrated painter of that name. Though we cannot
state, from our own knowledge, that Mr. Hummer oust
lout again with Captain Parry, vet it is most probable lie
noossatpurial that °awe as his voyages • Corporatism

Conti on the defendant, who had been convicted of re-
ceiving a bribe the last Oraitiptrand Election.
Mr. Jtvitire IST read the proceeding. at the trial,
from which it appeared that the defendant, together
with 45 others, -bad each received M. for their votes
and interest.
The defendant offered nothing in extenuation, and
the Solicitor-tieneral forbore addressin‘ the Cunrt in
aggravation of piiitislimont.
Mr. J•istire lt*vt.ev delivered the sentence of the

COURT OF KING'S BENCH, DUBLIN, Fin. 7.

This ila7, at the sitting of the Court, the Right lion.
Chief Justice Downes took the Oath of Allegiance—and
immediately afterwards the most Key. Dr. Curtis, Catho-
lic Primate of Ireland, took, not only the Oath of Alle-
gigue to his Majesty king Deorge IV., hut also the
other accompanying detestable, and, to Catholic feeling,
insulting oaths, vit. to make known treasons and con-
spiracies—to abjure a non-entity, the Pretender—to dis-
claim the legality of murder under the pretence of lie-
, resy, anol ill evasions, equivocations, and mental re-
servations, &c. &c. In repeating such trail:, what must
have been the iliegust of the venerable Prelate, whose
loyalty is as conspicuous as his piety and virtue, and
who recently rendered such eminent services to Lord
Wellington end the British troop tinder his eonsmand.
whilst he (Dr. Curtis) held the dignified situation of
Professor to the Irish College of Salamanca in Spain.
It is left for George IV. to " reform these several enact-
ments altogether.' —(Deblia &rising Post.)
