During the past week, the dockyards at Chatham have presented a scene of unusual bustle, in consequence of the fitting out of two bomb- ships, intended for scientific discoveries in a high Southern latitude, under the command of Captain James C. Ross, R.N. The project was started by the Royal Society, and Government have for that purpose commissioned her Majesty's ships Terror and Heela.

2,500,000/. after the valuable assistance they received from Mr. O'Connell and the Irish Members on Mr. Duncombe's motion.]
