COMMENCEMENT OF WINTER.
Behold how (he charms of Nature are fading',
I In- landscape how thimg’d to what lately seen;
llos. lively the colors it then was arrav’d in’
How lresli and how fair in its mantle of green.
Jtiu* soon from the trees shall the foliage be torn,
Ai 1 soonirotn the fields the verdure decay,
‘1 In gathering clouds on the w histling winds borne,
Croc hum that dread winter’s resuming his sway.
An 1 ran niintnnrkthis change unreflecting, unmov'd;
C ihe view the fell ravages winter has made;
And tlir lesson it teaches let pass unimprov’d,
i uit he too, like Nature, shall wither and fade.
“Vo 1 the i. ay visions of life will shortly be pass’d,
And the Winter ot Death close his earthly career,
‘l h'.-re'f. none can resist its Close chilling blast,
Ict how lew, alas! for its coming prepare. N.

POLAR EXPEDITION.
London, October 22.
On Thursday sc’night, Mr. Fisher, an officer
belonging to the Dorothea, captain Buchan, ar
rived at the admiralty with despatches, announc
ing the return of that ship and her consort, the
Trent sloop, from the Arctic seas. It appears
that the highest latitude the ships ever attained
was about 80. 30 longitude 12 east. They at
tempted proceeding to the westward, but as in
the case of captain Phipps in the Racehorse, in
1773, they found an impenetrable barrier of ice.
The ships proceeded nearly over the same space
as captain Phipps did, and met with similar im
pediments as expirienecd by that officer. The
Dorothea and the Trent arc on their wav to Dept
ford. 1 hey arrived on Thursday se’night in
Scarborough roads. We are sorry to learn that
one of the ships has sustained considci able dam
age, having been caught between two floating ice
bergs, the collision of winch was so great, that
she was lifted completely out of the water. Her
Her irons were all forced, and her ribs broken,
and we understand it. has been with great diffi
culty she has been able to make port.
I hesc are the ships which were equipped with
a view to their reaching the Pole, and entering
the pai ific ocean by Behring’s Straits. This is,
we believe, the 17th or 18tii failure to accomplish
the daring project of crossing the Polar regions.
