DFPARTURE of ran Arctic Discovery Ships. — At an early hour on the 1 th Januaiy, all was bustle and a»x ety on board the Arctic discovery ships. The ptevious wfek had been spent in piepar-mons for the dcpnrure, stores of all descpiioi.s, ntiplenunts of every kind buitabie to Live latitude, easti of pim-nU for the E>quiimux Indians, gunpowder, sugar, tea, rum and all other essentials against the effects of intense told and hunger, being poured in abundance on board the vessels. The day previous had been spent, in tea. ling the ptopeiues of various small balloons, which their inventors wished to betaken with the expedition for the purpose of being committed to the winds of heaven, in the hope th.it some of them might be wafted to the spot where £>ir John Franklin and his comrades are luply pent up. All things being; in rtadint-ss, the Enterprise, Captain Collinson, C.8., and the Investi. gator, Coramnnler M.Clure, blipped from their mooribjs about nine o'clock, on Thursday. The lonscene was a most imposing one, and will lod£ live in the remembrance of the thousands who witnessed it many of whom where seen to shed teais. On the whaif were assembled Captain Horatio Austen, C.8., acting superintendent of Woolwich Dock-Yard ; the principal officer! of the ynrd, the band ot the Dockyard battalion, and the whole of the artisans and labourers, both ol the Dock y aid and Factory, amounting to about 1800 men. The Fisgad, flag-ship, manned her yards, and boNted her colour*. The Monkey, steam-tug, ttok the Enterprise in tow, and the Investigator was taken in tow by the Lightning, iteatn yutuli. As the vessels started, the baud of the bat-

talion struck up the Nationnl Anthem, followed by other appropriate aim, and seconded as the shipi dropped down the stream by unanimous cheers from the aslemble'J multitude. The ships proceeded to Greenlnthetn have their compasses adjusted and will leave thii (Saturday) morning for Devenpoit, where their final orders wul await them. At twelve o'clock the Lords of the Admiralty, Sir F. Baring, M.P., RearAdmiral Dundas, C.8., M, P., Admiral Berkley, M.P., C.8., Captain Lord John Hay, Sir Baldwin Walker, X.C.8., Surveyor of the Navy , and a party of ladies arrived at the Dock-yard and proceeded to Greenhithe, where they inspected the discovery ships, and remained sometime on board. Among this distinguished, pirtywas Lady Franklin — Sydney, Tier aid May 11. Thu Valparaiso Neighbour furnishes the account of a boat's crew abandoned on the coast of Patagonia. Tlie date is rather old, but as the details of the occurrence may operate ;m a caution to Adventurous pas* seugers, we give the particular a*> we find them. The baique Hebe, Captain Stetson, arrived at Valparaiso on bunrtay niorirng, the 17th June. This ve.s»el attempted to pass tlie Sliaiis of Magellan, and came as far as Possession Bay, on the north bide of the Straits, where she anchored at the turn of the tide on the 30th April. The passengers and some of the crew went towards the shore in a boat, in order to shoot tome birds. The Captain saw the native Patogonians gathered on the shore in great numbers, even to hundreds, and many ov le be»ides were seen coming from the hills orj horseback. Soon alter the beat was nfar the shore the wind freshened, and a fl»g was hoisted on board to warn the boat to leturn, as the barque was found dragging her anchors. The wind continued to increase, and uothwithstauding both anchors weie down, the tessel diitted for several niiles>. The passer gers and boat's were by this tn>e trying to reach the vessel, and Captain Stetson, fearing thoy. would not reach her, contrived a buoy, to which he attached a hue some two hundred feet in length, hoping that, as they were within hailing distance, they would come up with and get hold ot it at least. Hail this been effected fie boat would hare been hauled alongside. But the wind had increased to a gale, the barque drifted more, and though they came withia twenty feet of the buoy, they could not reach i' in time. One of the cables having parted, the vessel swung round by the other towards the shore, and there being no remedy, it became necessary to cut the other cable, and sail for the Atlantic again, leaving these poor men where they were Tuty weie last seen pulling foi tbe shore. Although they were far out and the sea frightfully high, it may be hoped that they succeeded in reaching the land. Her Jit itannic Majesty's steamer Drive/, Captain Johnson, v.as boarded by the Araerican sihoonei Gazelle in the btra.ts and from her information was leceued that the peisons parted from the Hebe had reached another vessel, and gone on to Calilornia. The name of the other vesiel was given by the Gazelle, but we did not learn what it was.—-Latm-ceston Examhiet, May 8. The Repealed Navigation Laws. — A * vessel arrived in St. Kathetine's Docks, from Kotterdam, has brought an entire cargo of rattans, compiising 18,237 bundles of the article, oi East India prouuer, which, under the navigation laws, would have been inadmissible to entry. Another vessel has arrived in the same docks, from Rotterdam, laden entirely with the same description ot inerchaud.;>e. The vessels are both B.ituh built.
