Otct of the most affecting situations in all human experience is that of helpless sufferers looking out afar for aid, in alternating hope and fear. The crew of a boat adrift at sea, wearing their eyes out in search of a sail—the Lucknow garrison venturing out by twos and threes on the roof to gaze in the direction of the Alumbagh— seamen left behind among savages or on a desert island, for ever dreaming that they see their country's Hag flying from the mast of some ♦isionary ship—the St. Helena prisoner on his highest terrace of rock, sweeping the wide circle of ocean with his glass, and always iu the hope of seeing setae other sail than that of the hated guardship—the party of travellers who have lost their way in the desert, and who climb the scorch ing rocks, and fix their aching sight on miles of blinding sands, in hope of perceiving some moving thing on the horizon, or some trail of smoke within the circuit of vision—the victim awaiting death in an enemy's camp, and listening for the tramp of comrades on the way to rescue him ;—these and all other caeca of alternating hope and despair command sympathy at all times and under all circumstances. Never perhaps has such a watch been more pathetic, or of more vital interest than of late among the revolted subjects of the King of Ns rms. The English strangers who were looking about them at Marsala observed that some of the townspeople, and especially several women, were ps.ising quietly to the hills above the shore, where others were stationed, gazing out to sea. In the a thl interior of that part of the island, among the pa-oves and upon the gloomy crags of the moun tains which the Neapolitan troops did not dare to approach, groups of country people and townsmen, who could not return to their homes, were waiting for aid from some friendly quarter. Their scouts and their messengers were out ; and while expect ing their return, their comrades waited in cold, in doubt, and anxious expectation. For week, they had been in conflict with the Krito's forces; how loug could they keep it np if no aid arrived from abroad/ In the little bays the fishing boats were incessantly flitting out and in, with or without fish, which were not the chief concern. In the valleys, where the peasants seemed to be busy with their spring operations in the field, there was, perhaps, no less vigilance. Every man probably knew where certain cannon were buried in 1849, and was on the look out for signals to produce the arms and ammunition which were stowed away in _ _ . safe places. From hoeing their ridges, or driving their slow oxen in the team, they looked up per petually to the crests of the hills for the aignsh which were to tell when reinforcements should arrive. At the other extremity of the island the vigilance must have been even more mama— more vivid in its fears and its hopes. The seat of government was nearer there, the cruelty of the Bocerioss and their police impended more closely; and, on the other hand, if the people on the oppo- site shore would rise, the worst of the doubt and danger would be over. NO doubt there was watching on that shore, too. The inhabitants of Calabria have no lees reason than those of the Sicilian provinces to take their lot into their own hands, and then look for allies among the lovers of liberty ; and there may be many who, on the first appearance of help within reach, would eagerly rise against their tyrants. Rut the Neapolitans have not the tradi tions and the experience of the Sicilians, and they have not now their spontaneous energy and reso lution. The Sicilians have always contrived to obtain smne means of consultation—to keep up some sort of concert, though the police swarmed in the towns, and spies hung round every hamlet in the valleys ; but the Neapolitans have lost the art, for the time. Each suffers alone, while aware that all are suffering except the tools of the Court. No limn knows which way to turn, or how to move, or what to hope for ; while the Sicilians seem to have a general notion how to achieve a junction with like-minded persons, and where to seek them, and every man knows what to demand in a country so habituated to the aspi ration after representative government. They do not give up when they are disarmed they do not suppose all lost when their best leaders are shot in long rows. They could tell the hungry and shivering country people of the kingdom of Naples that, if arms and ammuni tion are seised and swept away before the people have had the spirit to bury them, anything will do for arms in a popular cause. Scythes, hatchets, pitchforks, have done good service many a time. As to leaders, there it , always a hope that some indigenous patriot, a ex maunder by natural quali fication, s ill appear, as has so often happened when the iipprnssion sneered was hard enough and its extent general; and if not, there is a tolerable certainty that free Italians will help struggling THE EXP: Italians in every effort to obtain good government. flue may the more depressed Neapolitans ' been encouraged by the more spirited Sicilii look out from the promontories of their sl and the ridges of their mountains for aid I LA' flicilia‘ to from afar. There is a general impression that aid is either amen them or on the way ; and if so, it remains UP he even whether in Calabria, as in Sicily, a central authority and a supreme leader was all that was necessary. It may be possible. The ens ' picious slaves who have been betrayed as often as they trusted may be able to trust an ally from a dis tance when they would not speak their thoughts to son or brother. They may believe GARIBALDI when he tells them that their farming implements will serve for arms, though they would not accept fire • arms or swords from the next town. It is pro bable that there will soon be opportunity to show whether these long-enslaved people can obtain a better position for themselves. Meantime, how TORllrellons is the aptitude of the Sicilians for such leading as has been granted to them ! The women of Marsala did not look out to sea in vain. The distant specks on the waters grew into what they were looking for ; and their children have witnessed that landing of GARIBALDI which will be read of in history for generations to come. The groups among the passes have not had to wait long in their uncertainty. Their scouts have come in with news of a stir throughout the island: their messengers have brought in the commands of an illustrious stranger, and appointments for a rendez vous. The peasants in the valleys have bad notice ' to dig up the cannon, and produce the arms ; and to furnish draught for the ammunition brought by their friends. Not a moment is lest in doubts whether the people will rise—whether the men will fight, and whether the women will urge them on. The truth is, the Sicilians know what they want, beyond instant relief from a torturing tyranny. There are among them sufferers mad dened with the cruelty which has -visited their families and friends ; there may be thousands thus inspired with hatred against the government ; but there are also whole ranks and orders of men who understand what citizenship is, and mean to obtain it. They know that their forefathers enjoyed four centuries and a half of constitutional liberty, such illiateEDlTAr OF GAST:BALI A dope.* 'which Ikid reached ?min from . makes known that at the date of the 24th ( Nino Bizio, notwithstanding all the report& to the contrary, had neither been killed, wounded, nor made prisoner. A letter from Messina, of the 21st, says : A telegraphic despatch from the Neapolitan go;ere ment, which was received yesterday at this plans, asks the authorities why, as tranquillity has been re-established in the whole island, the telegraphic wires have not been imme diately pat in proper order for working. It is at the very moment that Sicily is slipping away from its bands that the Neapolitan Government asks such a question ! Do Its ageata then allow it to remain in ignorance of how despe rate is the situation of the island The Danube, one of the steamers of the Ides sageries-Impfriales, which has just arrived at Mar seilles, touched at Messina on the 21► t, and left in the night. She brings letters which, in addition to a general confirmation of the news already pub lished, relate some particulars of one of the en gagements already referred to by telegraph : Oa the 18th, 8,000 Neapolitan troops, who had left Palermo on the previous evening, fell in with the volun teers of Garibaldi. After a conflict which lasted some hours, defection in the ranks of the soldiers began to be as it was at that day. They know from their own fathers how Austrian enmity to those liberties was foiled, after the unhappy junction with Naples; foiled by the spirit of the people, sustained by the encouragement of England. In 1806, England upheld the constitutional right, of the Sicilians, and in 1811 England superintended the reform of the constitution, by which the people became ac customed to the blessings which attend a parlia ment. All this is fresh in the minds of the sons of the men who saw it. They can tell how the K nro left the island in 1816, without leave or notios, and thereby violated the constitution. They can tell exactly how long their rights and liberties were sustained by the countenance of the one other free island-people in Europe. They can tell how long they supposed that England was still sustaining them, and how the fatal discovery was made that, behind the curtain of secret diplomacy, Lord CASTLIBBAOII had given over the liberties of Sicily to the disposal of the Neapolitan Box:rano:vs. They can tell of the pleadings in the British Parliament on their behalf, and of a long series of revolts from 1820 till now, and how they hoped and believed that the work was done in 1848, and the indepen dence of Sicily secured. Such a history as this determines the character of a revolt like the pre sent, and will explain any overthrow, however sudden, of the Neapolitan power in the island. It also shows GARIBALDI'S enterprise to be no wild adventure, undertaken for the hazard or the no- toriety, but a plan of timely help to a once free people, formerly betrayed and now intolerably op pressed, and fixedly resolved throughout to regain its liberties sooner or later. In such a case, a leader with reinforcements, at a critical moment when a leader was the critical need, is a gift of wisdom, and not of fortune, and the incident may produce result, in Italy more or less resembling those which have ensued upon the landing in Torbay of " the great filibuster of 1688." The Neapolitan people have also a Constitution and a good body of laws locked up from them. It will, no doubt, be seen ere long whether they are worthy of being led to demand the use of their own political property. There is an universal ex pectation that while Sicily is raised, Naples will not be left to rot in its squalor for want of the offer of leadership and aid. If there are but ten righteous men left with spirit unbroken, they may yet save the State and nation. They are perhaps stationed on the height of the political prospect, looking out over land and sea for some force powerful enough to give strength and spirit to the whipped and branded slaves of Neapolitan rule. They well know that " Heaven helps those who " help themselves ;" and they do not ask for rescue by means of foreign armies, but a rallying point on their own soil is what they singularly need, and a voice which all will follow without hesita tion. The Dictator of Sicily will probably come in sight there as on the Sicilian horizon. Till some such guidance appears the watchers will have such sympathy from all who have had ez• perience of either liberty or bondage, as that the watch will be in a manner shared by all Europe. ebt Court. 08BOILVE, MAT 27.

'Ito: PARIS. (nom era owl, cosiltromart) s. ‘„ . PAWS, MONDAY Evizum I beer from a very good source that the Emperor has expressed an intention to go to Lyons this week to moat the Empress Dowager of Russia, who it is said 'has received important despatches from St. Petersburg, about which the Emperor wishes to confer with hr. The day mentioned for the inter view is Pridiy, June 1, but I do not know how that date is to be reconciled with his Majesty's en gagement to be on horseback on the Place Vendome to receive Bakaine's, division on that day. Some change in existing arrangements will probably be made. The Patrie of last evening says :—" The insur rection is being organised to such an extent that its definitive result is no longer doubtful. The fall of Palermo is inevitable, being only a question of time. As soon as the insurrection becomes mistress of Palermo, Garibaldi will declare Sicily annexed to the Italian kingdom, reserving the ratification of his resolution for universal suffrage. A provisional government, under the presidency of Garibaldi, would then direct the insurrection." A telegram from the Austrian Embassy at Naples hag been received here, which asserts that Garibaldi and his volunteers had been completely routed. The Moniteur of this morning publishes the ' speech delivered by M. Fould, minister of state, at an agricultural meeting at Tarbes. After having shown the material progress which has been obtained, M. Fould said : " The economical course which has recently been inaugurated will create a fruitful era of wealth and prosperity." M. Fould recalled the moderation of the Emperor, shown after the late war, and said : —" This moderation in the past is a certain gua rantee for the future. The Emperor has several times proclaimed that he only wished to ensure to France the rank which belonged to her." M. Fould advised people not to be led away by the feeling of uneasiness which parties are strenuously endea vouring to spread. Notwithstanding the events which disturb some states, notwithstanding the agitation and mistrust which those parties attempt to excite in the public mind, "France,iquiet and prosperous, can devote herself with safety to public works. She knows the Emperor to be strong enough to inspire all with respect for her rights, and to be too loyal a neighbour and too faithful an ally to menace the rights of others." The discussion on the treaty of cession was re sumed yesterday in the Sardinian Chambers. Signor Biancheri (of the opposition) said he feared that the line of demarcation would be prejudicial to the defence of the country, that it wounded the national sentiment, and gave France the valley of Rojo., which was incontestably Signor Annelli attacked the treaty as immoral, and said :—" Traffic in humanity is not a venial thing. It is not possible to sell peoples without being guilty of immorality." The orator was interrupted by the president for the extreme vehemence of his language, and the liberty of speech was finally withdrawn from Signor Annelli by the vote of the Chamber. Signor Berti declared that he abstained from discussion, but nothing proved that the government had been obliged to cede Savoy and Nice in order to effect a French alliance ; ho afterwards said :—" The peace of Villafranca has changed the policy of Sardinia. Ths thought of Italian inde pendence is superseded by that of natural bounda ries." There is still no news of Garibaldi beyond further Neapolitan despatches, announcing that he and his followers have been again annihilated. There was a rumour at the Bourse, which is sup posed to have contributed to the rise in the funds, that he had taken refuge on board an English vessel. This story, however, meets with no credit outside the walls of 'Change. It is reported that the English and French governments have agreed to run mail boats regularly between Palermo and Naples, so that we may hope soon to receive authen tic intelligence. The Patrie notices that the particular expression in the Prince Regent of Prussia's speech " events in preparation," which has given rise to very alarm ing commentaries, is a false translation. The Ger man phrase is Kommende Ereignisse, which means "events to come." There is certainly a tangible distinction between the two expressions. The words actually used may be interpreted as pointing rather to the contingencies of the future, in a gene ral way, than to any distinctly foreseen peril. The Pepe says that a ministerial crisis at Turin is imminent, bat it anticipates that Count Cavour will remain at the head of the remodelled cabinet. The Opinion Nationale hes been visited by the following communiqui from the Minister of the In terior : The Chevalier Buoncompagni defended the treaty from a legal point of view, and contested the opinion of Signor Ratiumi, who said that Count Cavour hes substituted the aggrandisement of the kingdom of Sardinia in place of the independence of Italy. He explained that the Tuscan autonomy is not in opposition to the unity of Italy, and further proved that Nice is not Italian. The Minister Ferias*, in reply to Signor Berti, contended that the policy of France has not changed since the peace of Villafranca, and stated that the annexation had been made since thee. Signor Fermi also said :—" In signing the treaty I have the profound conviction of performing a most useful act in favour of Italian independence." In it. number of May 27 the Opinion Nationale attri butes to the Duke de Gramont, our ambassador at Rome, language concerning the temporal power of the Pope which be did not use. The assertions of this journal are inexact. Another article of the game journal contains insults spinet the pontifical government, and at the some time an implied censure upon our soldiers, for having in June, 1848, resolutely defended society and the laws in Paris. The Emperor's government, which protects the Holy Father in Rome, and his rerestabinhed in France the fundamental principle, of social order, cannot allow attacks of this de scription to pass without inserting a condemnation of,them in the coalmine of the journal in which they appeared. It is quite oonsistent with this communique that the purport of the Duke de Gramont's conversation with the Emperor may have been very much to the effect stated by the Opinion Nationale. The con tradiction is given in a special pleading form very different from the ordinary denial of a:statement " utterly unfounded." All that is averred is that the ambassador did not " use the language" im puted to him ; and then, as if the weakness of the first expression were felt, an attempt is made to prop it up by another, which, alter all, is filet stronger. "Thu assertions of the article are in- I , exact "—perhaps so, but they may be only inaccu rate in some particulars, possibly minor ones, and not altogether wrong. Although Whit-Monday is a sort of half-holiday, and the Bourse was thinly attended, there was a good deal of animation among the speculators to day. The expected vote of the Turin Chamber ratifying the annexation of Savoy and Nice was discounted for a rise, and the reiterated, and as yet uncontradicted, assertions of the Neapolitan government that Garibaldi is reduced to the last extremity, were favourably received by the "bulls." The Rente rose 40c., both for cash and account, closing at 69fr. 70c. and 69fr. 65e. Mo biller rose 101 r.

(nom on owe COWAPONDINT.) TURIN, MAY 22. Yesterday evening his eminence Cardinal Corsi, the Archbishop of Pisa, arrived here in the custody of a captain of the Royal Carabiniers. Cardinal Corsi is of a noble Florentine family, and there is a palace at Florence that is called by its name. His character is hard and litigious • he is fanatical and austere even with his own rel ations, but is chari table to the poor. He was on bad terms with the Grand Duke and therefore lived for a long time at Rome, where he imbibed the pernicious idea that the clergy ought to be above the civil power , and not subj ect to it even in temporal matters. The The cardinals high connexions have not prevented the government from using its power on this occa sion ; it was absolutely necessary to use it, for the clergy in general, more especially that portion of it that does not officiate, shows little inclination to obey. At this moment a cabinet council is sitting, pre sided over by the King. They have much to dis cuss—the intrigues of the Roman government, the events in Sicily, and the threatening attitude to wards our frontiers assumed by Austria within the last few days. Cowmendatore Buoncompagni, who exercises almost regal authority in Central Italy, who was I President of the parliament, and still has a seat in it as deputy, began the other day a private course of lectures on international law. At his introduc tory lecture the Minister of Public Instruction, Count Mamiani, was present, and it was listened to by many professors, deputies, senators, and stu dents. The speech was much admired on account of its historical research and that ardent love for ' progress and national glory with which every phrase was impregnated. Let me conclude with a little anecdote concerning Garibaldi. On the night before be left for Sicily, he was at Quarto, near Genoa. When it was time for him to go on board the Lombardo, a boat came ashore, manned by twelve oarsmen, id Garibaldi was invited to get in. He had a most agreeable surprise ; the twelve oarsmen were twelve expe rienced sea captains, men who had every one of them commanded ships and crossed the ocean several times. They bad considered it an honour to row to his vessel for this wondrous expedition their fellow-sailor, a man famous both by sea and land, and worthy of the heroic age. These captains say that go where they might when cruising at sea they always found the fame of Garibaldi had reached the place before them, had always found a welcome everywhere as friends of Garibaldi, and that his name was their best TURIN, MAT 23. To the notice I gave you yesterday of the Arch bishop of Pisa, Cardinal Corsi's arrest, and of his re moval to this place, I can now add the following particulart. At Pisa, when Captain Ceva was con ducting the cardinal out of his palace in order to bring him to Turin, the people gathered in the streets and squarer', but opened their ranks at a wave of the officer's hand to allow a free p and maintained a respectful silence. This sensible conduct on their part is the more remarkable, seeing how enraged they had been against the archbishop , the time of the King's visit to their city, because as great door of the cathedral was closed, and the Ligg unable to elite sate by a annul side-wicket, Fwas received by the v as if he had in a wen" ordinary y . wbo wish ed lass algarn dyer the btu. While the King was pawl% through the square the priests there present alone remained with their heads covered, intentionally insulting by this act the principal authority of the state, and doing so by superior command. There was leas excuse for their conduct at Pisa, for in the Romagna" they had the plea that the Pope was their legitimate prince. During the Cardinal's journey, either with a view to impress the captain of the Carabiniers with an idea of his sacred character or else to avoid conversation his emineone did nothing but say his prayers and ;mike signs of the cross. Upon his arrival at Genoa a few persons were attracted by euriosity to gaze at him, but he had not this satisfaction atTurin, where no one troubled himself about him. On reaching this city he was taken to the convent of missionaries in the Via della Providenza. He was then informed that the Abbate Vacchetta, appointed by the government to manage ecolesiastiftl property, was placed in at tendance upon him, but he exhibited the most pious horror of an abbot acting in obedience to the go vernment, and said that he wished to have nothing to do with him. Yesterday morning the cardinal was informed that the Minister of Grace and Jus tice wished him to come to him, but his an swer was, that they must use violence if they wished to make him go. He was thereupon moat politely asked to state what sort of violence he wished to be adopted. " Let it be intimated to me," rejoined his Eminence in a casuistical way, " that lam instantly to go to the minister's by express command," and accordingly the Marquis Ceva di Nooeto, in a theatrical seriocomic tone, imparted the intimation so suggested, and the car dinal went immediately. NN about adding any further particulars I will merely observe that this scene will probably end in the cardinal's being per mitted to reside at Turin, or go to Rome, or quit the country, on condition of his not returning to his diocese or to Tnacany. The numerous desertions of late in the various volunteer corps of the army have shown more and more the necessity of not suffering any to be en listed but as conscripts. General Fanti, the Mi nister of War, is eng ..wM. upon the solution of this serious and most difficult question. Economy and military discipline absolutely require a speedy settlement, for many of these desertions were not owing to the desire of following Garibaldi, but to the suggestions of emissaries backed by foreign gold. Then, again, the volunteer believes he has a right to go home when the wars are over, and he can hardly be made to see that long training is necessary, and that he must undergo it before he can become a good soldier. ~.~ TURIN, MAY 26 This morning the National Guard that does duty at the Coriopiano Palace had to sustain a regular siege against the people,' and a number of soldiers. The latter were Savoyanls and Niazards, who, in common with the people, wished to enter by force the galleries of the Chamber of Deputies and hear the debates on the cession of Savoy and Nice. A friend of mine, not an Italian, who has been staying at Naples for the last six mouths, and has many intimate acquaintances among the families of generals and ministers, and whom I have known to have been sometimes better in formed of what was going cm than the resident diplomatists themselves, has sent me • long letter, in which I find a passage well worthy of your attention ; " Among the many suggestions made to the King the most pernicious were those that came from the courts of Rome and Austria, which eoanselled him to resist every demand made by England, France, or even Russia, and to make no concession whatever. But now that Sicily is as rod as lost the same courts have been cen suring his policy, and this conduct bewilders the Neapolitan omit. The only person in the midst of confusion that preserves serenity and ardour is General Filangieri, Prince of Satriano, who might have been a great man if his heart had not been corrupted. He has proposed to the council of ministers a very bold project, respecting which they have consulted the Austrian government and General Lamoriciere. The Prince of Satriano proposes to consider Sicily as lost for the present, to withdraw from the island the soldiers, ,the ships, and everything in short of • military nature ; to show a benevolent disposition towards the inhabitants, and in the meantime with as many soldiers as can be collected to in vade bysea and land the new kingdom of Victor Em manuel ; to declare war against him whilst the army is on its march, and empower Lamoricilre to commence hostilities ; Austria to assume a threat ening attitude on the frontiers, but not to crone them, so as not to furnish France with a pretext for coming a second time to the assistance of Sardinia. As soon as Piedmont is eonquered, Victor Emmanuel should be compelled to abdicate, a conservative regency appointed, the dukes restored, and the Romagnas given back to the Pope ; them Sicily could be regained, whilst Italy would be reduced to silence for the remainder of this cen tury at least. Posterity would have to look after the rest." . --- Two days ago, on first receiving this letter, I made a prudent, and I hope good use of its contents, and I think the revelation in England of the pas sage I have just quoted will be likewise serviceable to the Italian cause. . . The announcement made b% several journals that the French intended to leave Rome is true, and so likewise is the additional announce ment that their departure had been suspended, because the probable victory of the Sicilians might load to the extension of the revolution, and the successful invasion of the provinces still held by the Pope, in case the French garrison were with drawn. The Pope might not have a spot left to fly to. Be that as it may, Austria has in the mean time sent to Sicily and Naples some ships of war, undsr the diplomatic pretext that the King of Naples does not altogether confide in his own fleet, and fears in case of grave disaster that it may rebel against its master. But in case he makes up his mind to turn fugitive, we are sure that England would hospitably receive him on board one of her men-of-war, and for the matter of that a Sardinian ship would not refuse him its asylum, and would convey him to Russia, or even Austria, if he desired it, as the proverb Nays, A tiretico doe fugge, Petite d'°"). " Some parties on the Continent," says the Times, `•seem to be spin negotiating fraudulent bills, accepted, and purporting to be. payable at some of the London joint-stock banks.

An ex pedition aided by a liberal grant from government, is now in progress under Captains Spoke and Grant, to follow up the recent explorations in Central Africa, north of Lake Nyanza, whilst the enterprising Livingstone continues his researches in the ethirwa and Nyasa* Lake districts. Fur ther explorations have also Leen recently made in Western Australia and British Columbia. The Founder's or King William gold medal has been awarded to Lady Franklin, for her self-sacrificing perseverance in sending out expeditionsto ascertain the fate of her husband and the shipsunderhis com mand, and in commemoration of the discoveries of the illus. trione navigator Franklin ; and the Patron's or Victoria gold medal to Captain Sir F. L Waintock, for the skill and for titude displayed by him and his companions Hobson, Young, and Walker—in their successful search for records of the lost expedition, and for their valuable coast surveys, by which our acquaintance with Arctic geography has been greatly enlarged. No change has taken place iu the arrange ments for the evening meetin g s of the Society, which con tinue to be held at Burlington House, by kind permission of the authorities of the University of London and the Royal Society, to whom the Council desire to express on their own behalf and oa that of the Fellows generally, their grateful acknowledgmente."

The PneernerriinidLie;hs;uß ..- 0T commemorating in an especial manner the Arctic researches of our asso ciate, the late Sir John Franklin, and of testifying to the fact that his expedition was the first to discover a north-west paavage, the council of the Royal Geographical Society hes awarded the founder's gold medal to his widow, Lady Franklin—kbeerel—in token of their ndmiration of her noble and self-iracriticing perseverence in sending out at her own cost several searching expeditions, until, at length, the fate of her husband has been finally ascertained. (Hear, hear.) The council has further adjudicated the council's old medal to Captain Sir F. L. M'Clintock, R.N. —(cheers)—for the consummate skill and unflinching fortitude with which, in the Fox yacht, lie and his gallant companions have not only enlar4ed our acquaintance with Arctic geography, but have also brought to light the precious "Record" winch has revealed to us the voyage and final abandonment of the Erebus and Terror. (Cheers.) In making these award*, it is but right to call attention to some of the leading facts connected with this subject. Having already taken part in two of Nelson's glorious victories, and in other battles of the old war, Sir John Frank lin began his Arctic explorations in the year 1818 to 18'12, and subsequently by his researches in 18211 to 1827 he had already acquire . ] a renown second only to that of Parry. (Hear, hear.) Aspiriug, however, to the supreme object of his ambition, the discovery of • north-west passage , he again left our shores m 18411 to Recompile a that great mission. In ascertaining the date and place of thedeath of Franklin, Captain M'Clintock has also effected several in portent geographhad discoveries. Lands and seas which had hitherto been entirely unknown to geography were, by hie energy and ability, laid open. (Hear.) Owing thus to the devotion of Lady Franklin and the skill of Captain M'Clintock, it is now demonstrated that the Erebus and ' Terror ascended Wellington Channel to 77 deg. of north latitude, that the two ships were navigated round Corn 'width land, which was thus proved to he an island, and that finally, steering from Beechy Island to the south-west, they were, on the 12th of September, 1845, beset in the ice, in which they wintered, inlaCtude north 75 deg. it min., and long. west 98 dog. 23 min., having reached • position never before or since attained by any other ship. (Hear, hear.) Having by this great feat rendered bin acme 111U11. trice's, the council deem it an net of justice that just as Ross, Back, Simpson, Rae, Inglefield, Sane, and Collinson, have each been rewarded by a medal of this society for their distinguished Arctic researches, so the list:of such worthiesoannot be more appropriately enriched than by offering the patron's medal of the year to the consecration of the deeds of Franklin. (Hear, hear.) In so doing the council have inked a peculiar I satisfaction in awarding this media to the relict of the great navigator, in admiration of the eingle-miuded and undaunted energy which have animated her endearoura, and which I have terminated in clearly ascertaining that in sacrificing their lives Franklin and his brave compunions died in solving the long-fought geographical problem. The couneil, there , fore hope that lady Franklin will mender the gold medal now &waisted to her not only as the merited recompense of her liuslend's discoveries, but will also accept it as • testi mony of the admiration entertained by British geographer for her who has devoted the last twelve years of her life to the glorious object in accomplishing which she has sacrificed en kegs a portion of her worldly means. (Hear, hear.) But nll the devotion of lady Franklin and the efforts it the British nation might well have failed in unravel ling the fate of the Erebus awl Terror had not such a commander been selected for the Fox as Captain M'Clintock. Inured by previous explorations to the lake and dangers of Arctic life, this brave officer has so modestly and clearly told his stirring tale, of how in a yacht of 170 tons heathen he successfully worked out his great minion, that he has already enlisted the sympathies of Europe and America. (Hear, hear.) He his also imperishably chroni cled in the exploits of the expedition the names of his worthy associate'', Hobson, Young, and Walker, in a work that Will doubtless endure as long as men shell mediate to revere the deals of pereoveneig and skilful explorers. Of the events of this narrative, there is no one which has drown forth more commendation than the calm resolve with which the gallant commander, after having been driven back 1,200 miles in the lack, and carried out into the Atlantic, returned to combat with the olsdacles of frozen seas, and nothing disheartened, steered bark his little yacht once 1110119 into Baffin's Bay. Marking the judgment and sagacity lie showed throughout the whole of an expedition which terminated in making known the extent of the discoveries of Franklin, ex well Sc the place and date of his death, and the alm o st certain fate of those gallant comminione—Cmzier, Fitsjames, and others—who survived him—the council have the wand' actitm of remelting that the commander and officers of the Fox have also added vastly to geo,aaphind knowledge. (Hear, hear.) In proving that Bella Strait is navigable they have demon strauel diet its southern shore ready constitutes the most northern pnimontory of North America, in rounding which, and in idedging along the western shores of Boothia, I ps r '
