THE NORTHWEST PASSAGE.

In the midst of the all-engrossing topics W ich
have occupied the time of the British HouiA of
Commons lately, the justice of rewarding { apt.
Mcclure for his discovery of a Northwest JAS
sage, formed the subject of short discus, ton
The-readers of the Globe will readily call to lind
the facts connected with this case Capt Nc
Clure, in command of the Investigator, left Ing
land in company with Capt. Collinson, of the En-
terprise, in January, 1850, with the special de-
sign of searching for Sir John Franklin. " hen
off Cape Horn, the two ships parted comp any,
the Investigator pursuing her course, anil in
due time entering Behring's Straits. Aftel en-
countering many difficulties, he at length Pass
ed up Prince of Wales Strait and finally, by
means of sleG &c, reached Banks Land short
distance south of Melville Island, discovered
long before by Parry, and visited by many sor-
thy successors from the east. He was thua the
first to pass th entire length of the contiiient
although, it is o be regretted that the Invest
gator had 10 left behind in Mercy Bay, Where
she still lies, il not long ago ground to DC sder
by the "icy fingers" of the North. Although
failing in the special object he had in view, and
even although, for all practical purposes, the
Northwest passage might as well be amongst
the things yet hid from man, still Capt, Nc
Clure is well entitled to reward Had h., per-
formed the same gallant exploit between J745
and 1928, he might have claimed the Paliafnent-
airy reward of 100000 for the solution of the
Northwest problem, as it was called Sir. Ed
ward Parry received knighthood and f5, 900 for
making llO0 west longitude in 1919; and Slong
list of names might be mentioned, each having
acquired the appendage of Sir, for Arctic and
Antarctic expeditions. There was perfect ssnan-
unity in the House as to the propriety NJ ar-
pointing committee to examine into CAM Nc
Clure's claim, and, we doubt not, the reward be.
slowed will be commensurate with his ac leve-
ment.
In connection with this subject, we mayt ptice
that ON the 2lst of June last, the Arctic We iran,
Capt. Penny, left Aberdeen, Scotland on GARD
the Lady Franklin, along with the 81 5hia,
Martin, and crew of 45 men, bound fo Ho-
garth's Sound, Arctic Regions, where, if eces-
sary, they viii winter. The gallant comma sder,
it is stated in local paper appeared in keel
lent health and spirits, and was accomp MED
out of the bay by party of the Directors { the
Aberdeen Arctic Company, who gave the en-
terprising official most hearty farewell.

LIBERTY OF THE PRESS IN THE SOUTH.

We have rarely seen the Liberty of the Press
vindicated on broader principles than in the fol-
lowing excellent article from the new literary
paper published at Petersburg, in Virginia.
To the honor of the sex be it said, the paper is
edited by a LADY, Mrs. r. b. Hicks, and we pre-
sumo that the article is from the pen Of a fair
contributor.
This noble vindication of the Freedom Of tho
Press contrasts most favorably with the despotic
maxims Of the Enquirer, Examiner aud Hhlg,
which have become the merest echoes of the
prevalent popular prejudiees. 1t is honorable
to the ladies' of Virginia, that this protest
against the enslavement and prostitution of the
Press comes from one of their sex. q.

was appointed commanderin-chief of the Mi
guellstc army.
But, on the 18th of May, 1884, the Duke Of
Terceira and Napier inflicted on Don Miguel
so severe blow at Asseiceira, that he retreated
from Santarrem, and deemed il advisable to
accept the mediation offered by the English
Ambassador at the Court of Don Pedro. On
the 10Th of NAV, he renounced the Portuguese
crown for pension, and the retention of his
personal property. Five days later, the san
culinary tyrant embarked on board an English
vessel for Italy, but, after his arrival at Genoa,
he protested against his exclusion from the
throne, and this protest he renewed in Rome.
The Pope acknowledged his assumed title of
King of Portugal, probably on account Of his
zeal in behalf of the Papal authority over the
Portuguese nation.
On the 18th of August, Don Pedro opened
the Assembly of the Cortes, in the cloister of
San Bento, and on the Both he was ackAowl-
edged, by the two Chambers, Regent Of Portu-
gal but six weeks later he died, in the 37th
year of his life. His daughter, who was then
sixteen years old, assumed then herself the
reins Of government.
But she soon lost, on account Of her ohsti-
macy, the affections of the people. One mem
Der OF the Democratic party, Manuel Passos,
declared, in the assembly of the Cortes, that
the ISeP pubic was the HOSI eXctuenJ IhOugnL
Of the human mind and that it must become
general in Europe" But this prophecy proved
rather early, because as yet there is very little
prospect of its being soon realized.
Donna Maria, in conformity with quadruple
alliance, concluded on the 22d of April, 1884,
thus before the death Of her father, between
France, England, Spain, and Portugal, des-
patched to the aid Of the cause of Queen Isabel,
in Spain, a corps of 5000 men, under the com
mand of Visconte Dos Antas, in return for the
assistance which Spanish corps hadrendered
to her father, against Don Miguel. Portugal
bad consequently taken a place among the
States OF Europe, serving, TO Some extent, the
cause of Freedom.

Fantastic forms do the clouds assume,
Up DER the horizons rim
Dragons, and direful shapes of gloom,
Ger the dim woods crawling grim;
Now lit, each one, by the sunken sun,
Aud now by the lightnings gleam
Now sulen and dun, when the light is gone,
Like forms in fearful dream.
No portents they OF n terrible doom,
The spirit to trouble and fright:
They are looming there, in the dusky air,
The heralds Of rain ut night.

TRUE Administration. George Evans,
late Senator from Maine, addressed the Wing
State Convention there, and alluded thus @ the
Mock American organization:
"Talk about Free Americans there is not a
serf under the most despotic Government of
Europe, not hod-carrier on the continent, who
would submit for moment to be dictated to in
matters of opinion. No, sir; here the true
American principle is the right of private judg..
ment, the right of forming our opinions, and
iy. But this party mean to get up an inteusi-
fed American feeling, by violating the first
rights of an American citizen-the right to
vote, and think, and act, as he deems best, in
stead OF being driven to the polls by taskmas-
ters,"

That swell in the night and rain;
And the myriad flowers, that, everywhere,
New beauty and life will gain;
And the golden bees he thinks he sees,
Humming around their bells,
While the merry breeze, in the freshened trees
With song of triumph swells
"From the starless darkness beauty springs,
And tears precede delight
And he muses. long, and weaves a song
