Sir Henry Pclly has published extracts from despatches lately received from Sir George Simpson, dated Lachine 21st January, describing the step he has at the desire of the Hudson's Lachine, Company taken for further prosecuting by land-parties the exploration of the Arctic coast from the Mackenzie River. Chief Trader Rae and Chief Factor Ballender have been instructed to fit out three exploring-parties for the examination of that portion of the Northern sea-coast lying between Cape Walker on the East, MebAlle Island and Banks's Land to the North, and the continental shore on the Victoria Islands to the South. Mr. Rae will himself head the party for Cape Walker, and local officers in the Mackenzie River dis- trict will head the other two ; and it is possible that the parties may be set in motion during the ensuing summer. Mr. Rae has carte blanche as to means, and may even abandon a post to draft a sufficient number of choice men fur the service ' • and large rewards arc to be offered to the Es- quimaux of Peel's River and the half-breed hunters of Mackenzie River for any authentic intelligence of Sir John Franklin.

It is intended that two small vessels of 160 and of 60 tons respectively shall proceed to Barrow's Straits in May next ; and it is calculated that the cost of such an cxpeditsion will not be more than 25,000 dollars.—Morning Ohroniek.

At the Episcopal Chapel in West Street, St. Giles's, on Sunday last, before reading the General Thanksgiving, the officiating minister made the -follow- ing unusual announcement—" A person desires to return thanks to Almighty God for deliverance from captivity in the dungeons of the Inquisition at Rome."

The new chamber for the Commons is now so far completed that it will, according to present intentions, be used for the day sittings of the House on the Wednesdays after Easter.—Daily News.

The appearances of spirits in the Western parts of the State of New York is now explained, by the correspondent of the Daily News. "A few days since, some intelligent gentlemen of Rochester were determined to investi- gate for themselves. The young women alluded to were accordingly invited to renew their intercourse with the dead. They were placed on a table ; and while there, their ankles were tied together, and a strong ligature was passed over their clothes around 'the upper part of their legs.' A gentle- man also firmly held their feet together. The spirits were then invoked in the usual way ; but no knockings were heard in reply. Indeed, since the investigation has taken place, no more have been heard at all; and at a pub- lic meeting of citizens the committee of investigation has declared the whole thing to be an imposture, expressing also the belief that if a jury of matrons could have been impannelled to make a more thorough examination, they would have found attached to the limbs of these women something in the shape of bones or castanets, from which these unnatural noises proceeded."

Vesuvius has burst into grand activity. "For a week past," says a writer at Naples, " we have now enjoyed the most splendid eruption which has taken place for many years. The lava descends in two streams upon Ottajano ; where it has destroyed a palace and much land belonging to a nobleman of that name, and another towards Torre dell'Annunziara. The flames and the immense masses of rock which are ejected form at night a splendid and ter- rific spectacle."
