running, Which made it dangerous for any vessel to approach
the harbour, it was-not thought proper on shore to hoist the
light at the pier-bead ; but the Captain, not suspecting that
there was seek a heavy sea on the bar, determined to make
the attempt ; and accordingly the vessel was seen, when
nearly dark, with a light at her mast-bead, making for
tlse harbour, which she entered in safety at Bp. m. to the
astonishment of the numerous spectators on shore, who wit-
nesed the daring attempt with the most serious apprehensions
for the teasel. The Triumph is the only arrival at this port,

At the Monthly meeting on Tuesday last; Si Wet;
siting paper was read to the Literary and Philosophical
Society, Newcastle, on the probable situation, and pros-
pects of Capt. Parry, and his brave fellow adventurers,
an inquiry surely not ill-timed at a season to us of joy
and festivity, to them of dreariness and darkness. He
chewed the probability of their having succeeded in
getting a passage in some inlet in the NW of Hudson's
Bay, taste if this bad not been the case they would have
returned, or at least been heard of. I f they should have
gone beyond the Copper Mine River, the first summer.
it Is a subject of hope rather than expectation they may
have passed Makenxie's, and pushed through Bebring's
Straits, in which case we may expect iutelligence very
1143011.
la this case, probably, Franklin would btae heard of
them. Or they may have been taken short by the cli-
mate before reaching the Pacific, and are now passing
a wood wisher on this side of Sebring Straits. Still a
fair hope may be entertained of their safety. but it may
be the cad of this year. or the Spring of the nest, be-
fore we bear of them. Or, thirdly, they may not have
bees aide to find a passage to the Pacific; and thee the
question is. Can they get back to the Atlantic before
the epee weather clews; •or have they the means el
pawing a tbirJ !Polar winter ? Various presatisptions
are in favor of Ibis.—Bat en a fourth, not improbable

Battiesden, and hating compelled him (almost in a state
of tuudity), by violence and threats, to accompany him
on the road towards the mill, in. order that he might
show him the bothie where the female spinners slept. At'
ter being in a manner dragged in this state for nearly a
quarter of a mile, Lowson was rescued from his unplea-
sant situation by some persons who had heard his cries,
and came to his assistance. Lowson's wife was at this
time in an advanced state of pregnancy, and is since
dead ; and the libel stated; that " she was so much in-
jured by the fright and state of alarm she had been put
under in consequence of her husband being dragged
frOm his home without his clothes by the defender, that
