‘The expulsion of Earl Fitzwilliam from the
Lord Licutenancy of the VVest Riding of York-
shire is a subject of extreme delicacy. His sign=
.ing the Requisition for the County Meeting, and
being present at it, are ascribed as the causes.-—
His Lordship and his family have generally been
open but liberal opponents .ofMinisters ; and we
rt-marltc<_l at the time when the Requisition was
published, that it was written with great temper;
it only called the meeting for the purpose of‘ de-
manding an inquiry into the transactions at Man-
chester, and preventing any invasion ofthe rights
of the people (if such shall appear to have occur-
red) from being drawn into a dangerous prece-
dent." And how can aman, whether a Peer or
not, that has any stake in the welfare ofthe coun-
try, require less on such an occasion, or make the
requisition with greater mcelmess ?- Are the
people and the hereditary nobility of the realm. to
be wholly silent irn'affait's wherein the blood of
fellow subjects, no matter whether justly or not,‘
lions by the hand of the soldicry ? Is no inqui-
ry to be granted, or ifgranted, is it to be accept-
ed as it boon? and _i_s the demand for inquiry,
though couched. in‘ the tnildcst tetfmspossible, to
he considered and U_'L‘_al€(l as an_'o{l'enct.- ? Lord
l“itz\\'illiant’s part in the meeting. alspflvltere he
acted with men of. equal rank, or" almost equal
rank with himself, was as little prominent as could
be conceived. The resolutions li-ave" nothing Ja-
crlbijxical in their meaning or texture, and a per-
son-nt the meeting, who labored under the suspi-
cionof being ‘either a radical or spy was hissed
:.€<'-wn._ . Vi.-at then, can this disgrace ofone of
the first noblemen in the realm mean, or from.
whence cyan it have sprung ? But let ministers
;’ now beware : with the sincerest wishes for the
3 present tranquility and permanent welfare of the
.:ountry, we earnestly iutreat them to beware.--'
l They ‘are the firstto level high rank, and degrade
the atypjettt nobility. It is certain that they may
insult s"t‘-ch a man as Earl Fitzwilliam with impu-
nity ; for hewcann-it be driven by their contutnely
10 _l0lfl~.tl?,?3t rabble, by whom it is said the o-
verthrow ol-’«‘ftli~.- constitution is meditated. But,
do they not teach others to tread in their steps ?
VVill the power of affronting the ancient nobility-
be confined to Ministers alone ? Do thosc‘\i?'lio'
are cltarged with striving to overthrow the throne,-
‘gtneztn to preserve the peerage? And will they not
‘ball with acclamalion a precedent, by which the
-representative of the most ancient. and rich-‘

Losses at Duvz's’a Strait8.—-Letter from a Cap".
rain of one of the lost vessels, published in an Ed-
inburgh newspaper : __
‘ .Ec1z'nburg/1, Se/zt. l0.—-The destruction of so
lieve, is unprecedented. No person who has not
visited these northern regions can form (even
from the most correct description) a just idea of
those immense masses of ice callcd.iccbt':rgs, and
of those heavy sheets of ice flaws, which, when
_-set in motion by it gale of wind, spread dcstrtic_-
tion wherever thc_y are wafted. Y _ b
' As I am lately returned from the Straits" of
Davis, my mind is still'prt:gnax_1t' with the tragic
scenes which were there presentcd'to my view.
"- On the morning of the 7th of’July, the‘ Mary
Ann of Dundee, and the Raithiof Leith, were
seen totally wrecked, their masts were level with
the ice. On the evening oftbe same day I visi-
ted the wreck ofthe Mary Ann and found a num-
ber of their crew, along with those of other ships,
assiduously engaged in getting hold of provisions,
or anyarticle of value. The crews of both ‘ships
were . saved. 'vV_e had on board our ship eight
men‘ belonging to the Raith. jAs_ou’r.situation
was critical, our only safety was placed in being
in dock. Docks are spaces cut out in the fast ice,
by mean.-.._of saws con .tructed for this‘ purpose, in
which theships are placed, forming asafeguard
to the press_ure"of floatingice.- Qur dependence
‘was placed upon our dock, but, alas 1 our trust
proved of no ell'ect.—-On the morning ofthe lrlth
two other sail were seen destroyed, not far dis-
tant from our ship; we senta boat’s crew for
information, and they reported them to be the
Equestris of.Hull, and the Sisters of Kirltcaldy ;
their docks gave way from the‘ excessive press-
ure of an ingress of ice. On taemorning of the
16th July a strong gale arose from the south-
’ west, andwe observed at an eat-ly_hour, from the
top-mast. that a quantity of heavy flaws were put
in motion, and were setting in fast upon us.--
Thcre were four ships all placed in ducks (to one
of which I belongcd,) namely the Majestic of
London, Tay of Dundee, and the" Royal Bounty
and Thomas and. Ann of Leith. At three 13. M.
the inevitable fate of our feeble barks appeared
certain, altho’ now and then a feeble ray of hope
gladdend our hearts with the idea that our docks
-would stand the squeeze. All our hopes were
dclusitc,for at four P. M. the space of water be-
tween the destructive masses of ice and our docks
was little broader than a canal ; at live they were
near at hand, and the collision of one piece a-
gainst another conveyed a sound similar to a pearl
ofdistant thunder; at twenty minutes past five
the ice, which was running at the rate of three
knots an hour,,first came in contact with the most
windward duck, where the Tay‘ and Majestic
vere stationed ; in a moment our ears resound-
ed with the destructive crash ; in a few s<:conds'1
afterwards the Royal Bounty and Tltottta-sand
Ann shared the same fate. No language can pic-
ture a state more truly alarming. -The appalling
cry of leave the ship, leave the ship, sounded
from every quarter. The majority of the men
gsavcd their luggage, although a great "number
sustained seriousloss.- XV: next made tents up-
on the ice with spars and sailcloth, and spent the
night iua tnostishipwrcckcd state, amidst a thick
f°i‘.' and showers of "snow. Fahrenbeit’s ther-
mometer stood at four degrees below the freezing
point of water. By the end of the third day the
fog cleared away. and ‘a number of‘ Ships. to the
joy of all, were seen to the southward, and a sig-
nalofdistress was hoisted ; their distance from
us ‘was about twelve miles, and mcnwere soon
seen coming across the ice to learn the extent of
the losses, and reported that the Captains_scver-
ally would be happy to take their share of the
cast-away men, and would proceed instantly for
Great Britain. Among the first was the -Dex-‘
terity of Leith,'which set sail on \'Vednesday‘ af-
ternoon, the Blst July, with a large share of the
wrecked men. At six I’. M. she passed a num-
ber of casks, heaps ofashes and lumber, lying up-
on the ice. -The master ordered a boat to be low-
ered, and asccrjtaitted them to be the remnants
of the ‘Ocean and Samuels of Hull, that were like-
wise crushed to pieces on the 14th or l6th July.
‘ Notwithstanding ten ships have sulferetl, on-
ly two men lost their lives ; they belonged to the
the other died on the ice after a‘ fit of intoxica-
tion. -_ No blame whatever can be attached to tire,
