A man et war sloop, Captain nradiey,ln' latitude
70, south, toiling to the eastward, passed to the
northward fields of ice for four days together, and
then the ice extended in an easterly direction as fat'
could be teen from the mart-head. But the ship
haring then Nosed the meridian of Cope Moro, bore
stilly to thesetihuard. Tbeseleidis of ice *boys ape
water were pit feet high, and reckoning two-thirds
under the wat4rt are is feet thiCk. A proof this
proportion !skid, to the eastward of the batiks •f
Newfoundland, a Captain of a frigate ,was looking
with a 'glass at an-Iceberg 80'Tetit high, and 400 feet
long,ebqut two mileidistint, when it suddenly cap-
eiied, or turned bottom up, and was then about b 0
feet high. To the north of Bheting's Strait, Capt.
Cook, in lat. 70. 44. N. met a barrier of ire 12 feet
shore the water, and 24 feet ender the surface, in all
35 feet •thick. This ice never could have been frozen
there i
.hut came from the northward and stui it there.
li!cente, in the same parallel of southern latitude,
the field ice was frozen bet to half the thickness
(and perhaps came from the southward), and it is
much colder to the southern hemisrhere than in the
1101illerNbecause mere elevated in the same parallels
c( latitude. The above is • strong argument in fa-
of a parole through. Blieting's Strait.

ELOPEMENT 'EXTR4ORDINIRT.
GUILDIIALL.-A very respectable tradesman in the
City applied to the Sitting Magistrate, in his private
from, to grant a warrant for the apprehension of his
sister and a servant men, with whom she had thought
proper to slopel-and marry, without his consent or
privity.
MAGISTRATIPISy, Sir, is the lady a minor
Applicant.—A minor! the d--. 1! she is within a
year of my own age, and I am nearly threescore !
MAGISTIIATE.--•-1 am afield your application to
me will be of no use, for you cannot wen show that you
huge any legal controul over the Lady. You may,
however, relate the circumstances, and if I can assist
you I will.
The trsdesman then, with much warmth, pro-
ceeded to inform the Magiattate, that the Lady in
qaestion had been his housekeeper, his Worse, and his
every comfort fur more than 20 years, for he himself
was a bachelor. The only domestic in the family,
with the exception of a cook maid, was a man aged
about 40, of vase and inher habits, of the name of
Michael, who had been all his life time in the service
of the family. Ilis sister was constantly sounding
the praises of 64 steady, sober Michael ;" and the
result was, that she eloped with him, leaving a letter
addressed to the Compl4inant, stating, that she could
Pot resist the entreaties of the 64 dear fellow," to
stoke him happy. The fugitives were sine living in
Alderigate.street. Ile bad solicited his sister to re-
turn,but to this she would not consent unless &acorn.
pani,d by her husband. lie determined upon trying
whether or not ti e 'aw Could compel her to art as
he wished, and at the same time punish the perficli.
Owl Michael.
The MAGISTRATE said he felt very mach for his
dime's, but he was surprised at his application to
him, .s it was a matter of which a Magistrate could
not possibly take cognizatice. He would recommend
bum to accept of the terms proposed by his sister.
Po this the Applicant would not for a moment
listen, and departed in bitter wrath, vowing ven-
geance upon the head of poor Michael..

On Saturday last, at shoot sesen o'clock in the
riorning, a dog, having every appearance of being
mad, ran furiously thrrroalt the streets in the vicinity
of South Audley-street, Gro4Tennr-Noare. He made
his way into a stable-yard in Chapel-street, where
be bit four der. Several men assembled, armed
'with pitchforkfi lac. to diapetch him, bet it Was a
considerable time before that could be effected, and
doting the conflict they had great difficulty.in avoid.
ing.the ferocious attacks he made upon them. Whit
mischief he may hare previously done is unknown.
It is remarkable, that this event took place near the
door of a publican, who continues very ill, from
the effects of a bite he received some time ago, from
the dog which did so much mischief at Knightsbridge.
In Mount-street, there is another sufferer in a simi-
lar stale, from the same cause.
Last night 9.5 male convicts, chiefly consisting of
pick-pockets, were removed from Newgatr and seat
-to the Laurel hulk, at Gosport, preparatory to their
• being transported to New South Wales, pursuant to
their sentences at the 01.1 Bailey Sessions. They are
mnittly to be transported for life. A's number more
will be tent Off in a short time.
• Friday,. night Mr. Knight. Surgeon, of Oxford-
• street, was called anti engaged to visit a Lady, who,
he strasinfolAted was in labour ; he got up, sod pro.
ceerledrwith the man part of the way, when he was

robbed him of hia watch and money, and theu told
*him to go home to bed, his patient being well.
Accounts from Siberia state, that nu the 17th June,
