cense and latitude as to time of services

that will bo fpr. worse than tho present il
legal and respected system.. The only de
lay is caused-by the necessity of having a
French and British squad rop in these wa

proposed, which is in opposition to tho
wishes and. interests of tho people* Tho
secret convention will be signed as soot) as
it can bo formufly prepared by tho throe

“It will take throe months, oven if the

“An attempt at mutiny occurred three
or four days since on board of the Ameri
can ship Marathon, Vandyck, master, in
• which the livos of the captain ond 'rfmte
wore threatened by the ringleader, James
C. Urben, as he calls himself away Irani
her shipping articles. He snapped u pis
tol, which, loriunutely, did not take fire,
und he was saved from the direct commis
sion of murder, which ho says lie inlend
etl, and lor which lie was armed with pis
tol and bowie-knife. The case has been
investigated by Colonel Robertson, acting
consul, and the man will be sent to the
United Scutes- in irons, for trial, bv the
first vessel. Ho claims to bo an Ameri
can-born citizen, of Providence, but he
looks very much like a foreigner to me ;
being that way blood-touched myself, 1
have a right to judge.”
It will bo observed that this letter con
veys, in detail, the same intelligence to j
which we adverted on yesterday in gen-|
oral terms. There is one featuro in this
intelligence which strikes us ns subject to
doubt—wo allude to the statement that
Franco has committed herself to the
scheme. Such a position on the part of
Louis Napoleon seems to us to be so irre
concilable with wlint we take to be his
line of policy, that wo are slow to credit
the intelligence in that respect. As to
Groat Britain, her past history abounds in
ovidence.going to fix the conviction that
* ii isreiillv BritUh policy. And yet, judg
ing by lier diplomatic antecedents, we
should expect to see her in the back
ground until Spain and France are lullv
embarked in the enterprise. Then, upon
I some plou of philanthropy, or out other
| great regard for the weakness of Spnin,
I and her generosity in extending protection
! to such powers us cannot protect them
selves, we should expect to see her come
forward to secure the results which she
had so much,at heart. As to Spain,there
is one fact, the appointment General
Pezuela ns caplain-geiieral ot Luba, which
if iurii out tii be true, will bo strongly
cdiifirmatdrv ,'or j»**r . readings «> curry
outlho plati of Africanizing Luba. He

not, in'feouth Xmericn*but is so much
ofu'n absolutist that ,he regrets thnt be was
born on'-American-soil, upd wiihal he has
long been ui» opeij unil en'thusiasiic advo
cate of the apprentice system. .•T»?esub.
f ihet is one or so much moment t tha it i*
• not id. be supposed that the pdmmislraUon
is not fully.ayyake to its .irn|)or\once. As
to list policy, we have nolh'tpg to snybut

“la, that ali i y.ou never told rao you |

ed to find the deception was so harmless.
In a Tew. words, Henry acknowledged,
(lie utter poverty and destitution which
had surrounded him, and 1 gave .her the
history of his past life. i

“I linvo proof,” said Henry, quidtly.
Mr. Hording staggered bnck,olrerwiidlm- j
ed. by the consequencO.of his villuiny. •
“1 heard the whole of it—.-ready tosweaf

The broker was frightened at tho/idea.
of a court.
“We shall meet again !” said ho, glan
cihg fiercely at Henry.
“Letlus hope that' wo may not meet in
yonder prison,” said HenryjStornly. “The |
plan you hud formed, and narrated to me,
sir, wus infamous beyond expression. If j
I hud refused to become your confederate,
j another less scrupulous might have engng
| od in it, and this lady had oeen sacrificed
Jby your ruscality. I came with the mten
i lion of exposing all; but her fuir form and
'gentle heart so strongly impressed me,
j that 1 was weak enough to use the advan-
I tngo with which you had armed me. At
1 another time I did expose the whole
I scheme; your ncicu married me in my own
proper Character, and not as your “esteem,
od friend.” If 1 have wronged her, God
forgive mo!” ,
"That was the happiest day of my lifo
when you brought Henry Standish to my
presence, uncle,” added Amelia, laughing
heartily.
The broker waited to hear no more. He
had overcached himself, nnd ho dared not
even attempt to revenge himself, or pun
ish the violated oath. In due time, he re
luctantly put Henry in possession of Ame
lia’s fortune, and they are now os happy
las love and opulence con muke them.
Joseph Jones has received thut V, with
! interest, and never has had occasion to
’ regret that he befriended Henry in his
I need.
Some oaths are betten broken than
kept.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.
It was briefly stated in the lelejzrfi{)h'i<s
foreign intelligehco yesterday, that Com
rnandor Inglefield had arrived in Engludd
from his Arctic search for loir John WiliiK- .
litii and has been unsuccessfully i but/lie
brings the interesting intblligehcb that the
problem Aft he Northwest Passage has.been
solved at last, and that a ship his uctually
| sailed round the American continent thro’
i the Arctic odtJfin. Commander McClure
carries ofT the honor of this rcmnrknble
exploit. It will be recollected thdt Coin*
tnander Inglefield was’ de.‘tpiatched l id"hbr
Majesty’s steamship Phoenix, in llie spring
ol the vear, with supplies to Sir EdtVard
Bflcher’s squadron. Me itns succeeded
in depositing the supplies ns directed, and
is nccompnincd by Lieut. Crcswell, of
I the Investigator, with dispatches frohi
Commander McClure, who sailed in De
|cember, 1849, in search of Sir John
Franklin, in her Mojesty’s ship lnvestiga
| tor, and from Captain Kcllet, who tailed
iin the spring or 1852, in her Majesty s
I ship Resolute, on the same mission.
No traces of Sir John Franklin have
been discovered, but Commander McClure,
in a letter dated the BAy of Mercy, Bar
ing’s island April, 1853, announces his
success in accomplithing that which Jins
so long been a mysterious problem —name-
ly, tho Northwestern Passage. Ho is
coming home by Baffin's buy. Natives
have been discovered further north than
ever were seen before, at Woollustdn
Sound, at Victoria Land, and Prince Al-
Ibert’s Land. Copper of the purest de
scription was found in lumps, and the na
tives, who were very friendly, were mubh
amused at seeing the sailors run to pick
up the lumps of metul wiih which they edge
their spears. Commander McClure s ves
sels have wintered in the [luck in 1800,
and the succeeding years, without receiv
ing any injury. r Phe despatches will ho
doubt be published.
The gallant writer Btates that, during
tho winter of 1850, his vessel wintered in
pack without sustaining any damage,
(and, surprising to say,‘lie has to report
the Bnmo result at the end of the third
winter, and without the loss of a siqjjle
man of her crew,) in tho frozen waters
called Prince of Wales’s Strait, and com
municating with Barrow’s os he ascertain
ed on tho 26th or October of that yenr.
In July, 1851, he states “that such n
body of ico came down upon us with a
1 strong east wind, and set the vessel so far
to the south, that we determined to irttampt
a passage by the east end of the cliffs of
1 Bunk’s Land, forming the north enterance
1 of the large island under which wo now
are.” Tiie difficulties and dangers ofthis
1 passage may be estimated from his fttnte
-1 ment that the ice-floes encountered measu
red from 45 to 70 feel beneath the water
1 only 6 or 7 above.
