It must not be supposed that Lieutenant Pines project had produced no beneficial result. It bad excited in the Russian stuvernment the right spirit. The chances of ultimate success were manifestly increased by Liturenant Pien's journey to Russia; Vimulating, as it was, the Russian government to further exertions. Lieutenant Pim h., excited in the minds of all who hail seen him at St. Peteriburgh extreme admiration of his zealous endea vours, and no one had been more struck a ith bis character thou Sir Hamilton Seymour. Ile was convinced that ni ther on the pact of Lieutenant l'im nor on the part of those who hail encouraged him, had anything been wowing. Justice required that he should also dechire his belief that the Russia' government would be as anxious as any one to forward the scheme if they thought it could possibly suc ceed ; but considering the urgent reasons which acre given in the papers which had been read, he could well under stand the motives which actuated them. The Russian geographers had declared that to travel safely over such wild regions would be impussible ; and there had liven suggested insti ad r.n expedition by water to the Gult of Anadir, and thymic across the peninsula —a course which would probably now be pursued. Captain Ileatsan was ready to risk every thing in the attempt ; and was no doubt prepared to answer that evening any questions which might be put to him. hlodificatious might also be proposed by the Ruseiau government in the plan of Lieutenant Pim, with a view to some step being token. The following letter had been addressed by Captain lkatson to himself, as the president of the @misty: "38, Moorgate-street, Jan. 12, 1852. "Sir,—The subject of search for Sir John Franklin having been so frequently discussed by the members of this scientific society end others well acquainted with the navi gation of the Pular regions, I think it would be presump tuous in me to attempt an explanation of my reasons fur commencing the search from the north-west of Behring's Straits. I believe that many are of opinion that a high northern latitude may be reached through the open water seen by Wrangell, and that subsequently an eastern passage may be forced by a screw steamer. 1 may, however, be permitted to mention that this is no hasty idea of mine, but one which I have had in contemplation for above two years. On my arrival from Africa, at the close of 1819, after the return of Sir James !tom, I began to think seri ously of the probable causes of Sir John Franklin's de tention, and while in Russia last winter, in speaking upon the subject with some officers of the imperial navy who had been in the Arctic Seas, I found that their opinions weee exactly the same as mine, namely, that Sir John would pus to the northward of the l'urry Islands, and never think of turning back till in the meridian of Behring's Straits. They were also of opinion that whin he arrived thus far be would be previuted getting to the southward by • chain of islands extending far to the westward—a continu ation, in fact, of the Parry Islands. Supposing, now, Franklin to have succeeded in getting so far to the west ward, and being stopped there, it cannot be imagined that he 'would relinquish the attempt to get through this last barrier to all his hopes, and the realisation of the passage into the Pacific, to retrace his steps from a point which may have taken four years to reach. What would • brave man do in such a case? Certainly not to retreat in two or three years, particularly if, as we hope, they have met with suffi cient animal food to support them. I believe Sir John Franklin to be somewhere to the math of Behring's Straits, and certainly not far to the outward ; and in that belief 1 wrote to Lady Franklin, in October last, stating my plan, and soliciting her assistance, which, I am happy to say, was immediately given. I have sinc e th en exerte d myself in selecting a suitable vessel, which I have purchased, and whirrs is now in dock undergoing the necessary alteratious. She is a schooner of nearly 200 tons, but capable of carrying a much larger quantity. I intend fitting her with three separate engines of 8-horse power each,with separate boilers, by which arrangement I can effect an immense saving of fuel by only working one or more engine, as circumstances may require. In addition to this, I take a steam launch, with an engine of 5-horse power. My crew will consist of only 15 men and myself. I shall, by a careful selection of provisions, be enabled to take enough for five years. The whole of these arrangements I expect to have completed and be able to leave England by the end of next month, and to proceed direct to the Sandwich !elands, whence, haviug filled up with coal, dm, to push on for the Straits, which I hope to be able to enter by the middle or latter end of July. When there, of course I must be guided by the condition of the sea. If there is a possibility of getting to the north, on or about the meridian of the Strait., I shall do so. Otherwise, I intend pushing my way to the north-west till I arrive at the open water seen by Wrangell, whet', perhaps , I may be able to get to the north and then to the cut. Should I not succeed in getting so far along the coast this year, I might employ the spring (before the breaking up of the ire) in an attempt to reach that land seen by Captain Kellet from Herald Island, and thus be enabled to perform one part of the schema pro poied by Lieutenant Pim. I would next in the spring posh away to the north and east, in which direction I believe I shall eventually find some traces of our missing ships. I consider it would have been desirable (and, in fact, it was my first intention) to have had another smaller screw steamer as a tender, and of far greater power. I am sorry to say that I am not able to accomplish this, but am, never theless, determined to go in the beet way I can. " I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient humble servant, "DONALD Blia•015. " Sir R. Mucks' on, President of the 'loyal Geographical Society." The CHAIRMAN continued—He was happy to inform the meeting that the council had expressed their approval of Captain taon's project, and resolved that it should be brought before the meeting of the society that evening. (Cheers.) The subject was one on which he had very strong personal feelings; end he must say that to him it appeared that no e ff ort to discover &r John Franklin and his companions was based on a more rational hypothesis. Captain FITZROY could not help expressing his extreme !egret that cold water had been thrown on Vent. l'im'a enterprise. It should not be forgotten that a few years ago Sir George Simpson travelled over the same ground. The CHAIRMAN—No, very much to the south. Captain FITZROY observed that Sir Henry Telly, the president of the Ilefeent's Bay Company, had also told Lieut. Pim that•perew gees( with a small party was more likely to cobble idnarYw hem the tribes than any one who Was by • large force. Sir W. 6 6 . 7ll2lreanild nothelp uniting in admiration of Captain Benison, who was not a single man, but was about to leave a wife and family behind him, and to devote his fortune, which, he believed, was not large, to the object to which he hail at heart. Ile thought the result of the late expeditions were far from discouraging. If Sir John Frank lin got a fair wind, it seemed probable that ho would have availed himself of it, and in that case he would have gone fir beyond any of the toot expeditious. Mr. ADAM WIIITE said he had a collection of plants made by Capt. Beechy on Melville Island in 1820, which showed that the vegetable productions of that island were by no means despicable. There could be very little doubt that upon it, not only reindeer, but musk-exen also might obtain abundance of food; and they knew that wherever plants existed animals would be found. Mr. SAUNDERS would be glad to be inforheed where Capt. Beatson's subscription list lay. The CHAIRMAN said it was on the table. (Cheers.) He had not mentioned his own name but it would be found, as would also that of Admiral Beaufort. Capt. FITZROY made some further remarks expressive of his doubts of the impracticability cf Lieut. Pim's scheme, notwithstanding the adverse opinion of the Russian geo graphers. 'the CHAIRMAN observed that one of the Russian geographers,by whose opinion the imperial government haul been guided, M. Mittendorf, was peculiarly qualified to judge. That gentleman lived fur 18 days in a snow-house, during which time he had the fifth part of a dog for his whole provision, and ate his boots, end all the leather he had about him. (Hear.) Capt. SYNGE, WE., then read a paper on communiza tion between the Atlantic and the Pacific via British North America, declaring his preference for communication through the British dominions on the grounds of distance, speed, position, salubrity, comprehensinnees, inviolability, and the effects on British America, on all colonisation, said on the maritime powers of Great Britain.

STATISTICS OF CAlEft IN TUE COCNTY COURTS.— Some interesting statistics are given In three parliamentary' roams, respecting the County Courts. In the three y eah ending the 31st IJecensher,lB4l, there were 1,219,694 plaints entered in county courts, of which 702,894 were tried. The amount for which the plaints were entered was 3,600,421 i. I The amounts paid into court in the three years, before trial, I were 241,0704. Out of the causes tried only 2,4.54 were tried bT jurors. In 18-18 there were 427,811 plaints en tert d; an 1619, 394,101 ; and in NW, 396,793. In 1848, there were 239,118 causes tried ; in 1819, the number was 226,403; and in 1830, 217,173. The amounts respectively in the three years for which plaints were entered were, 1,316,602/., 1,188,3011., and 1,263,1151. In 1848, 66.2921. was paid into court before trial ; 80,4481. in 1649 s ; and 66,33111. in 1850. In 1816 there were 884 main tried by juries ; 802 in 1849 ; and 769 in 1830. The.. particulars are gleaned from papers printed in three emsiana—the last a few days back. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1852. BRIGIITON RAILWAY.—THE DIVIDEND. Tho directors have decided upon recommending the payment of a dividend tor the half year of 31. per cent. en the Convolidated Stock of the Company, after carrying the rum of 10,11001. to the credit of the reserve fund. 'Dar will make the total dividend fur the year 1851 amount to 41. 16s. per cent. REVIEW OF THE CORN TRADE DURING Tam PAST WEEK. (From the Mark-lase leaprem) BRITISH. the belief that the value of wheat was about to ad vance became prevalent in the early part of last month, and merchants and millers deemed it prudent to prepare themselves for such an occurrence ; all reasonabie offer* were therefore taken advantage of ; and though the eleinaed was not at any period of a speculative kind, the puteleases made during the hest two or three weeks leave been more extensive than for same time previous. The effect of this has been a steady improvement in prices iu all parts of the kingdom, and wheat is now 2s. to 3s. per quarter higher than it was in the c emmeneement of December. The upeard movement has no doubt been assi I by the export demand which has been experi enced, a good many cargoes having from time to time been taken fur shipment to the continent. This latter eireueustance, and the fact that prices continue higher abroad than in this country, is regarded as • guarantee against anything like large supplies from abroad, and a further rise in our quotations is consequently considered as not only probable, but strood certain. That prices may ultimately go somewhat higher than they are at present is, we think, not unlike/y, bat we are not sanguine of a con tinued or important rise; indeed we are rather disposed to think that the millers, haviag secured sufficient for their immediate wants, will for a period act lea freely than they have done or late, and, ea we place uo reliance on a continued export demand, we should not he surprised to witness a temporary re-action, more especially if the cha recur of the weather should remain us heretofore—vis., mild and open. As yet, however, there is no appearance of a cheek to the advance, and at meet of the provincial mar kets held toward. the end of the week wheat was dearer than it had been before. In the agricultural districts rates have been paid quite as high as those current in the priaeipal consuming towns; and at the shipping ports on the rust coast good qualities of red wheat leave realised 335. to 30x., amp line 40s. per qr. Purchases made at these rates would not at present give a profit in Mark-lane, and we think prudent buyers will be disposed to pause in their operutions. The reports from the northern markets are generally firm; the rise which took place at Mark-lane on Monday last was readily responded to at Liverpool on the following day, wheat being quoted 2el. to 11. per laths., and flour Is. per brl., higher than on that day week. The advance was, however, paid somewhat unwillingly, and the trans 'minim were not so extensive as they had been previously. Later in the week the inquiry slackened, hut the improve ment named was well maintained. The Hull market was only moderately supplied with farmers' wheat on Tuesday, and Is. per el-. more was easily obtained for the best dry qualities; a similar advance was also established at Leeds on that day. The advice, from Waselichl of Friday's date re-port a fair business in wheat, acid a rise of is. per qr. From the north-western parts of the kingdom the accounts are scarcely so lively as from Yorkshire and that neigh bourhood. At Bristol, on Thursday, wheat moved off rather tardily, at au improvement of Is. per qr. ; and this was also the case at Birmingham. The deliveries at wheat from the growers leave thus fee been rather liberal, mad in some parts of the country the less wealthy class of farmers are reported to have male great inroads on their stocks; but we are of opinion that thine who have not been com pelled to sell by pecutiary pressure have parted with their produce very reluctantly, owing is the miserably low rates which have been current ever since harvest; and we are, therefore, inclined to think that the quantity of home-grown wheat remaining is quite equal to what is usually held iu January. The transactions in foreign wheat have been on quite a retail stale, few country buyers having attended our mar ket; imparters have, however, manifested no anxiety to realize and part of what has arrived will no doubt be landed in expectation of higher prices hereafter. Holders of graneried wheat have also thaplayeel much firmness, and needy buyers have been compelled to pay the extreme rates of Monday last. There was more activity in the early part of the week than on Friday ; but prices were quite as high as before on the latter occasion. There are now very few Boating cargoes of wheat off the coast, and for thine on passage relatively higher rates Lave been asked than those at which similar qualities might be bought on the spot, in consequence of which few b irgains have been closed. The nominal value of red Polish Odessa oar passage is 31v., and of Egyptian 275. per qr., cost, freight, and Insurance. The advance established on Monday in the price of flour has had the effect of somewhat checking the de mnied, and the sale has not been extensive since the rise. The receipts of flour from abroad have been unimportant, via., 1,723 sacks and 530 biretta. 'ins,. was a speculative inquiry on Wednesday for American, and several thousand barrels changed hands at full terms. On Friday there was I less disposition to buy, but priors were quite as high as before. RAILWAYS. THIS DAY. Two o'CLoca. The share mark e t open e d this morning with a heavy appearance, and since the nbsequent decline in Consols, a considerable fall has mewled in nearly all descriptions. None but sellers offering god the clut racterof the account,the settlement of which is now in progress, will be considerably changed. The "continu ations to the next account generally rule light, no disposition to speculate for a rise being at present evinced. On London and North Westerns the rate is particularly low, these shares being lenders to continuation. Midlands rule at 3-16 to con tinuation, and South Eastern' 1-32 to 3-32 con tinuation. Brightens are pretty steady on the an nouncement of the dividend. French shares continue to full rapidly, with a similar movement at Paris. A favourable opinion of these shares, under present circumstances, is, how ever, still entertained by many parties here, as is proved by the fact of quotations in this mar. ket this morning having been fully equal in many instances to th ose l as t received from the other made.

The common descriptions did nut muse off so readily, but there wes no giving way in prices. The value of malt has been well maintained, aad choice parcels have commanded very full terms. The arrivals of oats coastwise have been moderate; from our own coast only 697 qrs., and from Scotland 1,631 qrs. have come to band; but having received 11.913 gra from Ireland, and 6,728 qrs. from abroad, the total 'tingly has been rather liberal. On Wednesday the sale was tolerably active, but facton could not email previous prices. The increase which subsequently took place in the Irish and foreign supply caused the dealers uis Friday to act on the reserve, and some difficulty was experienced on the latter occasion in obtaining Monday's currency. The inquiry for beans has been slow throughout the week, and the value of the article has rather tended down wards. We have heard of no sales of Egyptian Beans afloat. Peas have excited little attention, and we can notice no improvement in prices. Theac ha 4 been seine speculative inquiry for Indian corn afloat, but owing to the high pretensions of holders, com paratively little business has been concluded. MONEY MARKET. THIS DAY. Two o'CLocc. Every department of the Stock Exclargi, wears a very gloomy appearance to-day. The English funds have fallen A per cent., and railway shares and toreiga stocks likewise presto t adecidedly downward tendency. In fact encouragement bream to have been afforded to the " hears" by the more unsatisfactory aspect of French matters, which is further aggravated by many extravagantly unfavourable rumours afloat this morning, and also by the tottering posi tion of the ministry, to make a decided attempt at " banging the market," as it is technically I termed, or, in other words, to endeavour to change ! the complexion of the various accounts now in pro. gross of settlement, by making a dead set at prices. Consols opened at a reduction of 4, hying first called 96:4 to 1, and were maintained for a short time by the investment of the government broker, who bought at the latter fraction. A steady downward move ment then set in, and with a succession of sellers offer ing prices have fallen to their present quotation of 961 to For the 12th of February the price may be quoted the same, although for a short time a con tinuation of 1-18 was observed. The business prices include Three per Cent. Consols, 961,1 ; ditto for account, 961, S. nice per Cent. Reduced, 9 71, New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents., 991, South Sea Stock, 107,t, 1 ; ditto New An nuities, 951. India Stock, 259. Bank Stock, 216. It will be seen that business has not yet been done at the extreme reduction, according to the official report issued at 1 o'clock. Sellers of Exchequer Bills have been offering more freely, and the quotation has, fallen 25., being now only 575. to 695. prem. India Bonds mark 725. prem., but scarcely any business has been done in them. The foreign stock market is severely affected by the state of the English market. Tho transactions are few, on account of the arrangement of the ac count. Mexican is weaker, and so is Spanish, though no dealings are reported in the latter. In French Stocks nothing has been dorm to day, persons being indisposed to operate, there being some indecision as to the state of affairs in France. The official report of the transactions is :—Chilian Bonds Three per Cent., 6.i. Dutch Ronda Four per Cent. Certifs., 914, 904, 914. Equador Bonds, 3:. Mexican Bonds, 294, 0 ' 7 , Portuguese Bonds Four per Cents., 34. Russian Bonds Four-and-a-Half per Cent., 100/, cx div. Sardinian Bonds, Five per Cent., 881, 90, 884. The progress of the settlement in foreign stocks and railway shares is watched with a good deal of interest and some anxiety, as the transactions in cer tain of the foreign loans have been extensive, and with a wide margin of fluctuation. The present downward movement, however, will probably have the effect of equalising differences. The imports of Australian gold continue. The Mountatuart F:lphinstone has just arrived at Graves end from Sydney, with 10,900 ounces of gold, of the value of about 33,0001. The departure of this vessel having been advised in the accounts previously to hand, of course she brings no later dates from the colony. The following statement, prepared and condensed from various official returns, will be found to present an intelligible view of the note circulation of the United Kingdom, and of the coin and bullion held by the banks mill... Med, both positively at the dates of the accounts last made up, and comparatively with returns for corresponding periods : The subjoined table gives the aggregate weekly average of the note circulation of the United King dom, as it stood for the four weeks ending the 6th,l 13th, 20th, and 27th of December, being the latest date to which the returns have been collectively com pleted for all the bunks of issue; and also the results as compared with the returns for the previous four weeks ending the 29th of November. ,97 110 191. - _ ,197 i,4393,356:974 %COO 4,72h,7% • - 1,062 .42,91'- Bank of Pimland .—.....

On comparing the above returns with the fixed issues of the several hanks, we find the following t o be the state of the circulation : The fixed issues of the private banks of England and Wake being at present, after deducting those which have ceased to issue, 4,fi9R,075/., it follows they were below the amount 1,301,2891. The fixed issues of the joint-stock banks being 3,409,9871., it follows they were below the amount 731,550/. The fixed issues of the Scotch banks being 3,087,2091., it follows they were above the amount 269,765 1 ., but with specie in hand to cover the ex cess, and issues for 640,9301. besides. The fixed issuesof the Irish banks being 6,3•x1,4911., it follows they were below the amount 1,627,7271., with specie in hand to cover issues for 1,181,019/. more. We find, therefore, that the note circulation of the private and joint stock banks of England and Wales was 2,032,839/. below the amount authorised to be issued; and that, inclusive of Scotland and Ireland, the circulation was, on balance, 3,390,7711 below the fixed amount. The avemgc amount of coin and bullion held by the Bank of England in both departments during the four weeks ending the 27th Dec. was 17.043,1701., showing an increase on the previous month's return of 1,263 916/. , Kau nil rims Clodag dos yorirday. nag. 100,000 1 Agas Fr• 1 14 11 pa 10000. 104.

The somewhat firm taus oltheadvices from hence had, it appears, added to the excitement previously prevalent abroad, and quotations are much higher o n the continent than in this country. Doug letters of - the sth inst. inform us that winter had at length set in, and that this had put a stop to supplies by water-carriage. Meanwhile scarcely any wheat was being brought forward by the farmers, and the operations had consequently been on quite a retail scale. The impression there was that prices would go much higher, and there was consequently an unerillingneu to make forward sale,. In this position of affairs the business hail been strictly of a local character. For new wheat of indifferent quality, weighing only 591 be. to 60Ibs. per bushel, equal to 38s. up to 40s. per qr. free on board had been paid, and there had scarcely been any offers of grenaried parcels ; the nominal value of fine high mixed old was 45e. per qr. free on board. Business with England was regarded as wholly out of the question, but a lively demand from other quarters was anti cipated in the spring. The accounts front Stettin are still of a very lively charac ter, and prices are relatively higher there than at other ports in the Baltic. From Stralsund we learn that purchases of wheat and barley have bunt made by buyers from Stettin, who had paid equal to 38s. for the former, and 22*. 3d. per qr. free on board for the latter. At Rostock fine qualities of wheat, 81 to 62 lbs. per bushel, had beea parthased on 'Limburg account, at equal to 40s. per qr free on board. At Wismar, on the sth inst., wheat waa in fair re quest, and good quality, weighing GI lbs., we. quoted 39a. per qr. free on board. The demand for barley was active, and the value of the latter article had an upward tend i ene At Lburg, on Tuesday, 61 lba. red Wahren wheat could not be bought below 445. per qr. deliverable in spring, and GI lbs. quality from the Lower Baltic ports had not been offered below 41s. 64. to 42e. per qr. free on board. In prices of barley and oats no change had taken place ~ n ce the previous market day. Danish barley, weighing 63 lbs. to 5111 w. per bushel, had been held at 23. , and 38 lbs. oats at 16e. Gd. to 17s. per qr. free on board in spring. At Rotterdam, on Monday, white Zealand wheat was in lively request for shipment to Belgium, and prices Is. per qr. higher than those current on that ne'onight were easily realised. Red wheat we. not in such active demand, and was no dearer than before. Rye was inquired for princi pally for local consumption, and for Hamden equal to 33.. 6d. per qr. had Men paid in bond. Stocks of foreign wheat were small, nod high-mixed Danzig in warehouse was held at 50.. per qr. By the latest advice, from France, we learn that the up ward movement in prices had continued, but owing to the high pretensions of holder., business in flour and wheat hail been checked. At Paris the former article was nearly as dear as in London, and it would appear, therefore, that we need calculate on no supplies Prow France at pre vent. We have Marseilles letters dated 7th January. Rather large arrivals of wheat had taken place there from the )31ack Rea, which had, however, met a ready sale at ad vancing prices, and Polish Odessa, 60 to 61lbs. weight, had realincil 31s. 6.1. per qr., whilst f u r a cargo of Ohirka, weigh ing 62 to 63 lbe., equal to 34,. 7d. per qr. free on board had been paid. The beet marks of dour were quoted 33a. Skt, per sack, cost and freight. Dee.l6, r Dec i/ i 1,1. .
