CAPTAIK ROSS AND THE ANTARCTIC
EXPEDITION.

• -
(From the Guernsey Star of September 114.)
The Alarm, Captain T. L. Stewart, left Guernsey last year
for the Falkland Islands, and departed thence at the end of
May last for Buenos Ayres. A gentleman of this island
(Guernsey) having received a letter by her, giving some
account of Captain Ross and the vessels under him, engaged
in a scientific voyage of discovery towards the Antarctic Pole,
has favoured us with the following extract:—
`.` Captain Ross and the Antarctic expedition are now here.
The Erebus and Terror came in contact, on endeavouring_ to
escape an iceberg, in the seas of the Southern Pole. The
expedition will positively be here for five or six months to
repair the vessels, and to mate observations.
" Captain Ross has erected an observatory at the old
French fort built by Bougainville. A most interesting series
of observations are carrying on, which will greatly interest
the scientific world. Those upon the pendulum are noted
every quarter of an hour. Astronomical observations are
also carefully made by the officers. Thermometers are placed
both above the ground and under it ; mine, with my baro-
meters, are now doing duty with the rest, and have the ho-
nour to be registered also. The anometers, showing the
direction and force of the winds, will add much to.the valuable
information afforded by Captain Sullivan, R.N., respecting
these islands. Pluviameters are also carefully registered, and
we are now about the end of your Guernsey November. A.
tide-guage is by the jetty, and an excellent magnetic obser-
vatory, where the dip, intensity, and variation of the needle
are carefully registered by able observers. The officers re-
lieve each other in regular watches on these duties •, and I
never met with such devotees of science. You would be de-
lighted to see Captain Ross's little hammock swinging close
to. his darling pendulum, and a large hole in the thin parti-
tion that he may see it at any moment, and Captain Crozier's
hammock is close alongside of it. The floor of this room is
mother earth, from our want of timber.
" Capt. Ross has been so kind, at my request, as to add
to these observations another series, to ascertain the rate of
evaporation in these islands; and Hooker, the botanist, is
also so good as to draw up a report mr the grasses, the pre-
vailing .grainitia being oonsidered as unknown in Europe.
The splendid tussack grass is the gold and glory of these
islands. It will, I hope, yet make the fortune of Orkney and
Irish landowners of peat bogs. Every animal here feeds upon it
with avidity,aud fattens in a short time. It may be planted and
cut like the guinea grass of the West Indies. The blades are
about six feet long, and from 200 to 300 shoots spring from
one plant. 1 have proved, by several experiments, that one
man can cut 100 bundles in a day, and that a horse will
greedily devour five of these in the same time. Indeed, so
fond of it are both horses and cows, that they will eat the
dry tussack thatch from the roots of the houses in preference
to good grass. About four inches of the root eats like the
mountain cabbage. It loves a rank wet peat bog, with the
sea spray over it. Indeed, when the sea beats with the
greatest violence, and the sea spray is carried furthest, then
the tussack grass thrives the best on the soil it loves. All
the smaller islands here, though some of them are as large
as Guernsey, are covered with tussack, which is nutritious
all the year.
" The whole of the gentlemen in the expedition are de-
lighted with the Falkland Islands, and express themselves as
being more pleased with them than even with New Zealand.
Some think them in every way better for colonization, even
with the drawback of wanting timber trees.
When the observations made during their voyages are
published, you will be surprised at their favourable account
of the climate.

" In addition to all these scientific observations, the sur-
veying department in exploring and examining different
harbours, sites for different objecte, in a new settlement," &c.

OPERATION OF THE NEW .CORN-LAW.
It appears that the difference in effect between the opera-
tion of the. Act 9 Geo. IV. c. 80, and the 5 Vic. I. c. 4, (or
• present Corti-law,) is as under : Qrs.
The quantity entered for home consumpton for 18
weeks during the operation of the present law is 2,457,931
The like for a similar period prior to the existing
law, taking an average from the 14 years return 369,766
2,089,165
• Or nearly seven times the quantity.
The difference iu the amount of duty paid for the like pe-
riod of 18 weeks is—
Amount of ditty paid under the present law £974,024
under the late act.. 4,'102,976
Add difference of rate of duty paid...... 50,706 153,682
820,342
Being about six times more.•
It is necessary to observe, that the quantity and duty under
the late Act is taken from all the ports, whilst the amount
under the present Act is taken from only ten of the principal
ports.

THE TELEMAQUE FRENCH TREASURE SHIP.—The pro-
ject, currently announced by advertisements in the public
journals, for raising the treasure belonging to the French
emigrants, supposed to have been sunk in the Telamaque, off
'Quillebceuf, in 1790, naturally raises the very insignificant
inquiry, made by more than one correspondent, how it hap-
pens that the French people, who have the. most interest in
the result, quietly suffer so large a profit as that held out to
be reaped by the English ? As the answer to such an in-
quiry is by no means an easy matter, people begin to assume,
as at least possible, that the real object may be that of re-
Bevi-1g the parties who originate it from the expense incurred
iri various pamphlets and advertisements' and other matters
connected with the affair, amounting, as Las been stated, to
about £3600, by a dip into the pocket of honest and con-
fiding John Bull. An appeal to the public for raising a joint-
stock capital is always to be looked at with suspicion when
The sum is so small as to be within reach of any private ca-
pitalist from his own resources. It seldom happens in such
a case that decidedly good things are offered to the public.
and we quite concur, therefore, in the suspicion expressed
with regard to the " Teletnaque, French treasure-ship."—
Times.

AFFAIR OF BUENOS AYRES.—Tbe Cash arrival from
Buenos Ayres brought a financial document of some interest,
being a "general statement of the operations of the public
stocks from their commencement on the lst of January,
1822, to the end of June, 1832 ; together with a cash account
from the Ist of April to the 30th of June of the present
year." From this it appears that the whole debt created in
that period was 2,000,000 dollars in 4 per cent., and
32,360,000 dollars in 6 per cent. stock; that of this amount
there has been redeemed, or otherwise put out of circulation,
about 750,000 dollars of the 4 per cent., and 22,000,000
dollars of 6 per cent, stock ; and that the whole remaining
debt of the republic amounts, consequently, to 1,250,000
dollars 4 per Cents., and 30,360,000 dollars 6 per Cents.
It
.further appears, from the " cash" account, that
the amount received from the Customs, to pay interest
and sinking fund, for April, May, and June, was about
910,000 dollars; that about 460,000 dollars was employed
in redeeming stock for that quarter, and that there was
an available balance, to be employed in July, of about
580,000 dollars for interest, and 156,000 dollars for sinking
fund. This document presenting a satisfactory account, be-
yond all question,.of the financial situation of Buenas Avres,
it leads naturally to the inquiry, whether the debt to this
country has been wholly laid aside and forgotten. It was
originally, we believe, only £1,000,000 sterling, and negoti-
ated by the house of Baring at the fair market price of the
time, and the amount of course duly remitted; yet no in-
terest has been paid since 1827, and the matter is as little a
subject of discussion in the city as if no intention existed l
Mexico,
paeferring any claim for payment. As the states of M • of
, supported, as o,
Colombia, and Chili, if not doing all that they ought to do,
are making some effort, at least, for the satisfactson of Bri-
tish claims, founded on advances instrumental mainly to the
establishment of their independence, the supineness of the
creditors of Buenos Ayres they would be, by

STRANGE, IF Tne E.—The Co?

d,,ys ago, an English elegant'
rigged as a private yachent, but rakish-looking schooner,
gallant style all the imp , after having surmounted in most
moored off the Quincunxes.edts at the mouth of our river,
admiration of all Hera ppearance attracted the
of her rich gildii ~ beholders, not only from the brilliant effect
5 upon her dark black hull, but for the
beautiful Emmett-1
heightened by they of. her mast and rigging. The interest wns
men who formed tieractivity and sailorship of the eightteitveentroorusers,
with blue and white stripedere w
shirts,
in 0
the collars loosely
over their shoulders, 'cofined round the neck by black silk
handkerchiefs. Shortly afterwards a graceful woman wrapped
in furs, carne on the deck, and seemed to be enjoying the glo-
rious sight of the sun setting in its greatest splendour. At the
same time another yacht, but sloop-rigged, and dressed in
the united colours of England and France, came in and let
go her anchor within a few fathoms of the schooner. here
they remained two days side by side. At sun-rise, on the
third morning, the berth of the schooner was vacant.
Taking advantage of the shades of night, she had weighed
her anchor, and, favoured by a smart breeze from the south,
had got out of sight. Immediately her departure was known,
the sloop was actively occupied in making preparations to
follow her, but was delayed by being compelled to wait
the turn of the tide, when she darted off, skimming the
waves like a swallow. All these are common occurrences,
and would not be worthy of notice, but for the following
circumstances, accounting for their appearance in these 4
waters. Both these vessels left the shoresof
England
in the spring, and after cruising in the Mediterranean,
joined company at Constantinople, where the owner of
the sloop, one of the most distinguished ' exclusives of
England, made acquaintance with Lady D
the owner of the schooner, a Scotch —, the wife of
birth,. and at length became so deeply Peer of the highest
charms, that to avoid his assiduities enamoured with her
the Bosphorus without taking leave. ray lord set sail from
a good look-out immediately followed The sloop having kept
and was able to keep so after the schooner,
entered successively With pertinaciously in her wake, that she
East, afterwards into tl her, first into all the ports of the
Gibraltar, and Cadiz, the harbours of Toulon, Marseilles,
which ports the schooner , and ultimately Bordeaux ; into all of
her importunate co ooner ran, with the hope of shaking off
by having learnt tisort. The schooner gained her last start
engged to dine with that the amorous master of the sloop was
at his house i a wealthy rich merchant of Bordeaux,
