After five days more, they got again a fair wind, which in a fortnight carried them to the harbour of Holsteinberg, in Greenland, where they providentially found the Rockwood, of London, deserted by her crew, and from which, therefore, they replaced their mast, and supplied themselves with provisions and stores. In a few hours afterwards they sailed in a more complete state than when they left England. They were all in good health and spirits, and had received the most cheering ac- count possible of the state of the ice, the inhabitants saying they had never seen so little ice; and if ever the north-west passage was to be made, it would be this year. The wind was fair, the weather extremely favourable, and the crew behaving in the most exemplary manner. It may not, per- haps, be known, that Capt. James Clark Ross, F. R. S. the Captain's nephew, who accompanied him and Capt. Parry in all the former voyages to the polar regions, has also gone out in the present expedition. OH LOVE IS THE CAUSE OF MY FonY."—Saturday last an unmarried female, lately the leading actress in Gow's flying theatre, and now residing in the Canongate, having been slighted by her lover, thought proper to upbraid him with having taken up with another; when a comical duet, ending in almost a fatal solo, took place. The gay Lotha- rio denied the charge in toto, vehemently exclaiming against the bad temper, the cursed temper, of his accuser, and con- cluding with Tho' late I lov'd you dearly, I've lost now each fond delight." < £ Figs and fiddlesticks," exclaimed the lady,' and, putting herself in attitude, sung out Get out of my sight, or I'll box your ears." 0, unfortunate termagant," cried the lover, go hang ,a 21 yourself (laying a rope and knife before her), or put this knife to your heart, and finish at once an existence which has been replete with much grief to me, and anguish to 0 yourself: Farewell, a long farewell.7 Ho had no sooner quitted her than she actually took his ad- vice by hanging herself up. She was cut down, however, by a neighbour, and immediately carried by the police to the Royal Infirmary, where the heroine remains in a very doubtful state.- Caledonian Mercury. EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT.—A very extraordinary ac- cident occurred, at the Woolpack Inn, in this borough, on Saturday afternoon, to a mare the property of Mr. Warner, of Haselor, near Alcester. The hostler received the mare about three o'clock, and put her into the first stall of the stable by the side of a poney, pulled off her bridle, and went to another part of the stable for a halter to tie her up; when he returned to the mare's head, he thought, by her manner, she was going to lie down, and he immediately removed the pony out of the stall; in doing this he perceived that the hind legs of the mare had broken through the ground, and that she was gradually sinking. He immediately called out, when a man came to his assistance, and they put a rope round one of her fore legs and endeavoured to extricate her, but while doing this the animal struggled violently; the surrounding earth gave way, and to their great astonish- ment, she sunk into a cavern so deep that they could neither see nor hear any thing of her. The alarm caused by such a singular circumstance soon spread, and brought a number of people to the spot; a candle and lantern were tied to the end of a rope and let down, when it was found that the mare had fallen into an old well, one and twenty feet from the surface. Pullies were sent for, by which means a man descended, and by fixing a rope round her chest and another to her head, she was drawn out. The mare was very much injured in one shoulder, the top of the withers, and her head and eyes were much bruised. She was placed under the care of Mr. Brown, veterinary surgeon, and was sent home this morning. The well when in use, had no doubt been much deeper, but some persons who had known the premises for fifty years, did not know any thing about it.— Warwick Advertiser. IRELAND.—We have been favoured with an interview by a Gentleman just returned from Ireland, whose connection with, and intimate knowledge of, that country, joined to the facilities for obtaining correct information, which an official station places at his disposal, give to his opinions an autho- rity, and invest them with a character of authenticity, to which we feel disposed to pay much deference. We shall state those opinions in his own words :—"Without shutting my eyes to the existence of much petty acrimony on the part of the two factions which have so long distracted Ire- land, and acknowledging in its full extent the existence of certain inveterate abuses which it has hitherto been found impossible to reach, I am yet perfectly satisfied that the general condition of that country affords evidence of indis- putable improvement, and may be fairly considered a sub- ject for congratulation. Distress exists there, (where does it not exist?) but the condition of the general population is one of decided amelioration. The revenue is slowly but steadily improving; the feuds are insensibly losing their character of ferocious bigotry; the tranquillity of districts recently disturbed is gradually increasing; the confidence in the fair administration of justice appears to gain ground; the excitement observable in some of the counties, where circumstances indicate the approach of contested elections, is of a character so nearly approaching to the legitimate and wholesome agitation which accompanies them in England; the good effects of recent reforms in the various public de- partments are so obvious and so universally admitted; the facilities for the due administration of the laws in districts hitherto scarcely entitled to the appellation of civilized, have been so much augmented by the appointment of intelligent and resolute stipendiary magistrates; offenders have been in so many late instances detected and secured to await the judgment of the proper tribunals; there appears a determi- nation so general and so marked, to discourage the union of a secular politician and a religious instructor in the same individual; the rational and dispassionate men of all deno- minations appear so fully convinced of the fatal tendency of religious dissensions, and of their utter inefficiency in forwarding any one desirable object:—all these considera- tions, combined with some well-judged and popular mea- sures on the part of those to whom the administration of Irish affairs is more especially entrusted, bears me fully out in my position, that the progress of events in the Sister Kingdom is a fair and legitimate subject for congratulation." We shall not weaken the effect of this statement by a word of comment. We shall content ourselves with assuring our readers, that it comes directly from an individual having all those advantages for observation which, in the commence- ment of this article, we stated him to possess.—Morning Chronicle. EXPORTATION OF BULLION.—The entries for the exporta- tion of the precious metals continue to be large, and in a week, ending last night, notices have been given at the Custom-house for the shipment of above 400,000 ounces. Silver appears to be most in demand on the continent. The principal entries are 250,000 ounces, and 24,000 ounces of foreign gold and silver coin, 24,000 ounces of foreign silver coin and bars, and 50,000 ounces of foreign silver coin, for Hamburg. For Calais, the only entry has been 55,000 ounces of foreign gold and silver coin and bars. For Rotterdam there have been no entries made recently, the consign- ments being principally to Hamhurg by the steam-boats. The stock of silver on hand in this country is understood to be very great. ARB ROAT H.- Bribery and Corruption.-Sir James Car- negie thinking, doubtless, that our authorities are imbued with the true Aldermanic taste for good eating, dispatched a cart loaded with game, from the well-kept preserves of Kinnaird, to our worthy Councillors, on Wednesday last. It excited no small merriment among our good townsfolk, (who are by no means friendly to Sir James's pretensions) to see the cart traversing the town, and the driver ever and anon consulting a paper he held in his hand, and stopping at each of their Honours' doors to deliver a hare and a brace of partridges.-Dundee Advertiser. STEAM NAVIGATION.—The four steam packets belonging to the London and Edinburgh Packet Company, were out during the heavy gale we experienced here last Sunday. The City of Edinburgh, which left Yarmouth Roads on Saturday, arrived in Leith harbour on Monday morning: the Soho arrived on Tuesday forenoon. The Tourist, from Newhaven to London, and the James Watt, which left New- haven on Saturday last, both arrived at Blackwall on Mon- day at noon, the latter in forty-seven hours from Newhaven. Notwithstanding the heavy gale of Wednesday last, when no other vessel attempted to go out, the City of Edinburgh, with a full complement of passengers, sailed from Leith harbour and proceeded on her voyage to London. No more satisfactory proof than the above can possibly be given of the excellence and security of these vessels as sea boats, even in all weathers.-Scotsman.

She was sixteen days only from Sandyhook to Cape Clear. The following extract of a letter received by a commercial house in Bristol, will testify that other countries are as badly off, if not worse than England:— New York, 26th Sept.—Trade here is in a most deplorable state, and shipping most unprecedentedly low there actually is not a single vessel on the stocks now building in this port. I intend visiting England next year, and if we are to have a re- stricted trade I shall take up my quarters for life in Bristol." TUESDAY'S LONDON GAZETTE, OCTOBER 20. INSOLVENTS.
