carpenter perished. The ice opened on
the 18th OF Aug. and on the same day
that Capt. Humphreys, IN the Isabelle,
tried to reach Leopold's Island they ar
rived there.
Captain Ross was the first to descry
the welcome topsails; but being st first
uncertain, he npidently concealed his
hopes until he had distinctly ascertainsd
with his glass that he was not mistaken,
and then he communicated to all the glad
iidings Of approaching deliserance.-
When they were first seen from the lisa
bella, they were mistaken for the whale
boats Of another ship lately In company;
and the Isabella continued her course
down the Inlet, but, fortunately, il became
calm, and this enabled Capt. Ross's party
to near the ship, when they were distinct
Iy seen, and they had the happiness to see
her lie to for them, ard were most kindly
received by ti.eir wondering and delight
ed countrynen.
Tho circumstance that Captain Ross
was rescued by the ship he commanded m
1918, is a curious and happy conclusion
of the voyage, the result of which has
been to establish, that there .: no neio Nv.
W. passage south of74 degrees.
The country discovered, which is iarg-
er than Great Britain, has been named
Boothea, after Felix Booth Esq. Sherlfl
of London in 1929, who much assisted
Captain Ross in fitting out the expedition,
Captain James &. Ross, the nephew OF
the commander, penetrated 200 miles III
10 the interior, guided by the Esquimaux,
and discovered the Magnet Pole about ~
deg. 80 min N. lat. sc deg. w. lon: on
which he planted the British flag, taking
possession Of the spot in the name OF the
King. l,. -
Only three men died during the voyage,
! Two of whom were men whose conslitu-
tons were unfit for the climate.
Capt. Ross and his nephew reached
London, after being received throughout
their whole progress from tho north ol
England, where they landed from the
Orkneys, with acclamations, ringing Of
bells, and every sign Of rejoicing. They
had dnci with the king, by whom they
were most warmly welcomed, and ir:n1
the heads of the admiralty, and in every
other quarter had received the most graf
flying reception. So incredulous wal
the public of the possibility of his having
returned in safety, that when the news o
it reached London, it was taken as
hoax. a..
There is letter from Cspt. Back, who
has gone in pursuit Of Capt. Ross and hii
companions, in the London papers, dated
18th June, from .Norcay house, Jack r'rer
where he was making preparations t2 IN
sure safe transport OF his boats, crews
SC. to a wintering ground. =;
Dispatches for him, announcing the
safe return of Captain Ross, have been
received at the New York Post-otiice,
and forwarded through the agency o! the
Hudson Bay Company.

The great Pawtucket case, Leland ct
ais. VS.. Wilkinson ct. al. was tried before
the Circuit Court of the u. s. at its re-
cent session in this city. The cause was
argued by Messrs Hazard and Webster
for the plaintiffs, and Messrs. sPratt and
Whipple tor the defendants. The prop
erty in controversy is a quantity Of land
lying in the village Of Pawtucket, upon
which some of tho manufactures Of that
village now stand. This land belonged to
the estate Of Jonathan Jencks at the time
ofhis decease, which. together with other
property IN New Hampshire, consisting
OF on Iron Foundry, wild lands, &c, he
disposed of by will, wherein he appointed
his widow his Executrix. HE reCommen-
dsd to his execu,rix in his will, TO carry
on the Iron works, after his death, for the
benefit of the estate, which she continued
to do for about two years before any IN
ventory and apprisal Of his estate were
made. by the inventory and aPprIsal, 1t
appears that there was not personal estate
sufficient to cover the list Of claims, and
application was made to the Legislature
of this State, and license obtained to
raise funds to pay the balance from the
sale of the Pawtucket lands, and accor-
dinghy those lands were sold. 1t was con-
tended by the plaintiffs that many OF the
claims had been paid previous to the maxi
ing of the inventory, and that the
property which had been applied to the
payment of them, cid not appear upon the
inventory, that ut the time OF making the
inventory there was still personal estate
enough to have paid the balance OF claims
then due, without resorting to sale oil
real estate, and that consequently the rep
reservations by which the agent OF the ex-
ecutrix obtained license to sell were
fraudulent, and Of course vitiated the sale.
The case though drawn out into a large
number of collateral points, resolved into
the main questions, whether any iraudu-
lent representations were made to the X.
Island Legislature, for the purpose OF pro.
curing license to sell those lands; and
whether at the time of selling the lands
there was sufficient personal property be
belonging to the estate of Jonathan Jencks
TO pay ali claims against his estate ; both
Of which questions were negative by the
verdict of the jury in favor ofthe DEFEN-
