THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION• The following dispatches from the expedition have been received at the Admiralty : " Ile: Majesty's ship Assistance, off Cape Warrender, Aug. 7. " Sir,--I have the honour to acquaint you, for the in formation of my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that 1 reached this station today. Ott the 29th of July. owing to separation in fog, the Rosolutc, Intrepid, and North Star, taking an inshore lead. became entirely so• pirated, but were in a better condition to advance than ourselves. Therefore, before losing sight, made the several ren dezrous—C3pe D. Digges, Cape Horsburgh, Cape War render, and Admiralty Inlet. "On the 31st July I called at and communicated with the natives of Cape Cork, and left documents for Captain Kellett at the Cape Extreme. The same night I did the same at Cape Dudley Digge.A, &siring him to follow on the other rend, zvous,' as Las lead might clear him of the ic,l at a more southern position, and he might not; without ruinous delay, be able to reach Cape Dudly Digges. " Having cleared the ice, and being uncertain whe ther our consorts might be ahead or astern, I made all haste to Cape Warrender, and expected to sight it on the 2d of August. Strong currents and a strong gale drove us to the southward of Possession Bay. " On the sth I endeavoured to land on that coast, but the swell, together with the loose ice, cast in by the late gales, rendered it impossible. " I then reached off to obtain smoother water on this coast, and shall endeavour to place this on Cape War render, moving on with all dispatch to the final rendez vous at Beecby Island, where I expect to find the rest of the squadron. " As Captain Kellett had with him the Alexander whaler I trust he will have given a full aceaunt of his proceedings since parting. " All on hoard are well with but two trilling cases in the list, kept there to insure rezovery of strength.—l have the honour, &c., " EDWARD BELCHER, " Captain commanding Arctic Expedition. " To the Secretary of the Admiralty, London." " Her Majesty'. ship Assistance, Beeohy Island, Aug. 14. " Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you, for the in formation of my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that I reached this position on the evening of the 11th, where I bad the gratification of finding the Resolute and North Star, the Intrepid having joined me in the Straits and towed me up. " 2. I had d►spstched the Pioneer from Cape War render to examine Navy Board Inlet for information, and deposit the duplicate of No. 10, left at Cape Warrender; also to report on the state of the provisions, as in copy of instructions inclosed. " 3. At Cape Warrender I found the cairn and post erected by Captain Austin's expedition, but no docu ment. The tally, having written on it, ':Pull out record,' was found beside the cairn, deeply impressed by the teeth of somo small animal. No trace of the visit " You will carefully examine for records, and leave behind a case containing information of your visit, as well as the document intrusted to you. " If the weather permits, and you have a chance con veniently to examine Cape Castkreagh, acre are some casks of coil deposited there by Captain Parker, of the Truo Love, which you might embark. "You will rejoi❑ me with all dispatch at Beechy " Given under my hand, off Cape Werrender, this ith of August. "EDWARD BELCHER. Captain, Commanding Arctic Exoeclition. "Lieutenant Sherrard Osborn, her Majesty's steam-vessel P►oneer." " Her 'Majesty's steamer Pioneer, tender to her Majesty's ship Assistance, Aug. 12. , " Sir,—l beg to report the return of her Maje st y steam-vessel Pioneer from Navy Board Inlet, which I have examined, in obedience to your orders of the 7th of August, without having been able to discover the depot of provisions found by her Majesty's ship North Star. " The following is a summary of my proceedinga , since parting company:— " Sunday, Aug. 8, 3 A M.—Having run the dietance across Lancaster Sound we wore ship, and at the same time ob.erved the southern coast. It continued to blow hard from north east, with snow and a heavy ses run ning; we therefore endeavoured to hold our positron off the eastern side of the inlet, and succeeded in doing so with some difficulty. " Monday, Aug. 9, 3 A.M.—The gale broke, and I immediately commenced the search, steaming along the shore as close as a heavy sea would admit of. On Cape Castlereagh a small pile of coal bags was seen, doubtless those left by Captain Parker, of the True Love. The surf breaking on the coast rendered the embarkation of them impossible. I next examined the Wollaston Isles, and could find neither cairns or beacons, the recent heavy fall of snow adding to the difficulty of detecting mere piles of stones. On the centre island of the three constituting the group I erected a cairn or beacon, and executed your instructions relative to the documents to be there placed. The eastern shores )f the inlet for a distance of ten miles were searched as carefully as was consistent with dispatch, and I the) crossed over to the west shore, following it all along ;o a small rocky inlet, which marks the western extreue of Navy Board Inlet. of man. ' 4. At Cape Hurd I found a document deposited by the Intrepid. " 5. On the afternoon of the 13th the Pioneer re turned from Navy Board Inlet, having searched for the provisions deposited by the North Star, but without success, as will appear by the annexed report of Lieute nant Osborn. " 6. Immediately upon my arrival here, accompanied by Captain Kellett, I proceeded with service parties, under the command of Commodore Richards and Lieu tenant Cheyne, to examine closely Beechy Island and coasts adjacent for records of the missing expedition, but without the slightest increase of importance. " 7. After a most laborious search, including the lines of direction of the headboards of the graves, and head and foot, as well as at 10 feet distance, aad throughout the loose earth, no trace, nor even a scratch on the paint work, could be traced. " 8. Upon very mature consideration, aided by Cap tain Kellett and Commander Pullen, I arrived at the conviction that no hurry in removing from these winter ter quarters can be traced. Everything bears the stamp of order and regularity; and although it is matter of intense surprise and incomprehensible to all, it is my firm conviction that no intention of leaving a record at this position existed. " 9. Other reasons occur to me for such determination, the principal of which is, that Sir John Franklin would not consider this as a likely spot for inquiry, and it is evident that by mere chance only they happened to fall upon his traces. If I am asked why, my reply is that at Cape Riley, or any other more prominent and accessible positions, beyond the discovery of former visitors, Sir John Franklin would place his beacon; certainly not here. " 10. It may next be inquired, why have the former searching parties failed to tied these marks? My reply again is, look even to the cairns erected last year by the well urganiz , cl expedition of nay predecessors. They are easily overlooked, passed unnoticed, or destroyed by animals. " 11. We have not been able, even with this very open season, to trace the large supplies left at Navy Board Inlet by the North Star, and no beacon marks their whereabouts. How, then, are the distreived to avail themselves of this ilet".? " 12. Port Leopold is at present equally inaccessible, as reported fey Commander Nl'Clintock, who sought me in that neighbourhood. It is, therefore, a most se rious drawback to any chances of relief that these depOLs should have been placed on the southern shores of the Sound, when it is well known that the northern are always easily and safely accessible. " 13. The shortness of the remaining season, and the vast importance of taking every advantage to benefit by the present open waters in carrying out the main in struction:, of their Lordships, by the two great channels, tor the objects therein referred to, render it imprudent to risk any delay by further attem p ting to exam Port Leopold, which may be effected by Combmandera Pullen during the winter or e arl y in the spring, ut short journey compared wiih those effected last year. " 14. I enclose, for the information of their Lord ships, copies of the instructions which I have deeme .er it necessary to give to Captain K ellett and Commanl dd Pulen, which I yet hope ma be coveed to Eng a this season, shoulal the Prince Albert touch hero when " Nothing to mark a depot e ne o or u dsue l erf l aotvri b pneo e ogi seen, and a heavy 16 considere d tacrossbo nbg y s t eo h pb e iast inlet, er t:euad. close dithreornmeta ttyoe p on a .dii : ne. sl o tg ttfo was nbaiectssheeteth then noon; a s nroclo t h a nt s ;ha t n tion placed us in lat. 73 deg. 4 win. 36 sec. north, long. 81 deg. 2 win. 15 sec. west, and at nite A.M., when close passing along the southern to the Wollaston Isles, the longitude vas 80 deg. 4 min. 4 sec. west, our position agreeing wita those of the Ad miralty charts. closely pressing, sho " r T e, h a e ga p i a u e s k t which ') and we had to retrace our steps to the eastward . to escape the edge reven i t t ed wa u s s of it carrying the pinnace considerably to the north west. " Tuesday, August 10, 1852—Calm, with light airs from the southward, the pack ba r ring slackened very .. much; and, there being n o wind, again returned into Navy Board Inlet, in th e ho p e of discovering the de*. The ice outside of it, which extended for the distance of some twenty miles, was slack, but in the inlet I regretted to find a body of clos e heavy ice. Forcing through all we safely could, I ag ain examined the western shore, which from its appearance was likely to have been used for landing provisions upon, but with no success. The eastern side, as well as the Woollaston Isles, was sur rounded with a pack, and the sudden springing up of a northerly breeze began to send the ice fast into the inlet. Finding the ice too heavy for the vessel to break through, and having no certain knowledge of the where abouts of the depot in so extensive a coast line as that of the inlet , I deemed i t right to run no further risk of being beset; and on Wednesday, at four o'clock A.M., desisted in the search, and made the best of nay way to rejoin the squadron. " We saw no Esquimau% about the inlet, and I have no doubt the provisions and stores are nearly hidden by accumulated suow, which, in the absence of cairns, it will be difficult to find, unless their position be known. lIETTS'S PATENT BRANDY. I_,P The highest medical authorities recommend Brandy and water as the best customary beverage, and particularly as an efficient pre ventive of diarrhceatic complaints at this season. They equally con cur in preferring BETTS'S PATENT BRANDY as the purest and most wholesome. It is unequalled for preserving fruits, home-made wines, &c.

If you succeed either by the Intrepid, or both vess,els, in reaching Melville Island, you may yet have time to return to Graham Moore Bay, whi:re it is not improbable that you may find an opening into the Queen's Channel. "I think it highly probable that the Intrepid might reach Winterharbour, and deposit the provisions and clothing, when the retardation by towing Resolute would entirely prevent the service being carried out. I leare 141. this for your serious consideration, bearing in mir.d that you are not sent therQ as a depot, and that when all other places are open Barrow's Strai!s is gene rally closed. "E. B." " BY CAPTAIN SIR EDWARD BELCHER, C 8., COMMAND ING THE EXPEDITION IN SEARCH OF TRACES OF SIR JAIN FRANKLIN AND HIS COMPANIONS. " By a printed copy of the instructions under which lam precßecling, and furnished you in my letter con taining the original rendezvous, &c., you will be already fully informed of the station to bo allotted to the North Star, under your command. " That is, to remain as depot at Beechy Island, until you receive further instructions from me, or from any other your superior, for your further guidance. " You will be supplied with copies of all instructions furnished to other officers in command, and you will cause copies to be made in order to transmit them to England, should any opportunity offer. " During this season you will dispatch two sledge parties to form depots on the east side of Wellington Channel preparatory to more decided exploration of North Devon Jones's Sound, and the land northerly in the spring of 1853. " O❑ both these explorations you will give the direc tion of one sledge, or both sledges, to the surgeon, Mr. M'Cormick, who has been expressly selected and appro priated for this duty, and you will afford every facility for this enterprising volunteer. "On the other two, which will probably accompany him as far as Baring Bay in the spring of 1853, I must leave the command to your own discretion. "But you must clearly bear in mind that the two last must not be allotted to any extended journey, which may risk the requirement of the North Star for imme diate service in the summer of 1853. " During the remainder of this season you will em ploy your artificers in constructing a compact house fur the shelter of 60 persons, if possible, in the event of accident rendering it necessary to dispatch the North Star to England. " You have already timber sufficient saved from wrecks, and until the squadron separates you will receive every assistance from it. In the event of the Assistance making successful progress this season towards or into the Queen's Channel, you will dispatch one sledge party to meet one from the Assistance in the spring of 1853. "You will instruct the officer in charge to call at Point Philip, Baillie Hamilton Island, Dundas Island, or Cape Beecher, unless ho should have reason to know that the ship is on Baring Bay side of the Wellington Channel. The date at which the parties under Captain Austin's expedition moved was about the 18th of April. Our party will be instructed to reach one of those sta tions on the 11th of May. If earlier, account will be left with a tall staff and flag attached, Letters and documents will be deposited in a cask, and having re moved them you will place yours in a similar. "If it should be elevated above ten feet, you will in struct the person charged with this duty to climb to it andlake out the papers, instead of pulling it down, and risking the possibility of its destruction, " Given under my hand at Beechy Island, this 14th day of August, 1852.

A path way of large flat stones led to the well. No cairns nor documents were found. These articles evidently be longed to some of Sir John Franklin's parties; most probably a shooting party. I then ascended the tower, which is about the same height as Beechy Sound, but much steeper. Neither cairns nor documents were found.

" Prience Albert, Beechy Island, Aug. 20. " Sir,—Having, on our way to Cape Riley yesterday morning, had the great satisfaction of discovering her Majestp's ship under your commaed in this bay, and being only able last year and this spring to search as far as Brentford Bay, Regent's Inlet, west from that about 100 miles, and up to Cape Walker, thereby only partly fulfilling the important object f our mission—namely, the complete search cf Regent's Inlet and Boothia Felix —and being now most anxious to complete the search myself, and send the Prince Albert to England on ac count of the state of health of her crew, who have nearly all suffered so much from scurvy as to be unfit to re main another winter here, I therefore beg to request that, as two of my own men have volunteered to remain out—one to accompany me in any further search, and the other (a carpenter) to remain in your ship—that you may be pleased to grant me the loan of three men keeping my carpenter yourself in lieu of one, to enable, me to carry out this great object. " Ia the first place, I .propose sending the Prince Albert to England as soon as your ship is safely secured in her winter quarters, to expedite which I will render every assistance; then I should wish to start myself with the boat and party, returning again to the North Star when compelled by the severity of the weather, recommencing operations 'again early next Spring, when I hope to have connected the coast to Rae's furthest. " There is a strong probability that Sir John Frank lin may have been carried through one of these channels that may be supposed to exist between Ommanney Inlet and Victoria Strait; whether or no, I shall have the opportunity of clearing this doubt, which I know is in perfect harmony with Lady Franklin's most ardent wishes. " The provisions which can be spared from the Prince Albert are as undermentioned, viz.-15 cwt. bread, 75 61b. cases preserved meat, 1,5001 b. pemmican, 1 cwt. coffee, 3 cwt. chocolate, 5 tons coals, 8 gallons spirits of wine. Also guns, ammunition, and other small stores, sufficient for myself and party, with the exception of warm clothing. " I would also request of you the loan of the Mary, late Sir John Ross's yacht. " I have the honour to be, Sir, " WILLIAM KENNEDY. " Our course was now generally along the sea coast, until we reached Cape Walker, where our provisions compelled us to retreat to the ship, round North Somer set and Leopold Harbour. " I cannot find words to express my admiration of the conduct of M. Bellot, who accompanied me throughout this journey, directing at all times the course by his superior scientific attainments, and at t he same time taking an an equal share with the men in dragging the sledge, and ever encouraging them i n their arduous labours by his native cheerful disposition. "During an absence of three months we slept in snow houses, having dispensed with tents. " With the blessing of God we returned in safety to our ship on the 30th of May. " On the 6th of August we cut out of winter quarters, and proceeded to Beechy Island as circumstances best directed. " I may mention that our first journey was in mid winter, when we had to avail ourselves of the moonlight, in the absence of that of the sun. " I have, in conclusion, the satisfaction to remark that, although our crew suffered somewhat from scurvy, they have all returned to a man in comparative health, which I attribute in a great measure to the strictly tee total principles on which the expedition was carried out, and the consequent harmony and good conduct of the men throughout. " It is through the supply of pemmican alone, which the Lords of the Admiralty liberally supplied to bbe Prince Albert, that sledge journeys were enabled to be carried out. " I left 18 cases of pemmican at Beechy Island and two at Fury Beach, and four tons of coals I put on board the North Star. " During my absence on the extended journey, Mr. Cowie, the medical officer, searched the bottom of Cress well Bay, to seo if any passage existed there, but found none. "To this officer I also feel greatly indebted for his care and attention over the health of the crew, and kind and skilful treatment of them. Though every search was made in all parts we have visited, we have found no record or trace of the proceed ings of Sir John Franklin's expedition.—l have, &c., " WILLIAM KENNEDY, Commanding Lady Franklin's Private Arctic Expedition.

" Her Majesty's ship North Star, Beechy Island, Aug. 23. " Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you that the Prince Albert arrived here on the morning of the 19ih inst. By her I send every report relating to the expe dition left by Captains Sir Edward Belcher and Kellett, fur transmission to England. The former, with his tender, left this for Wellington Channel on Saturday night, the 14th, and the Resolute, with her tender, for Melville Island, at tWo r.m. the next day, all in good health and high spirits, and with every hope of success. This season, I cannot help thinking is very open, for from the summit of Beechy Island, which I visited on the evening of our arrival on the 9th inst., as far as the eye could reach up Wellington Channel, or to the west ward, both were open, and but little or no ice to bo seen. Since the 16th we have been solely employed cutting the ship into winter quarters; but in consequence of the heavy breezes from the north and north-west, which have been almost continually blowing ever since the 17th, our progress has been but slow. The ice, too, is also very heavy; six, seven, and even eight feet thick; and to get a secure position there is a greater distance to cut yet than I or any one else could have anticipated. The strong winds lately blowing have convinced me that the distance which was considered as sufficient to advance in the floe, say three or four ships' length, was not enough. We are now, after cutting 9,000 feet, with out a dock at all, the ice having all broken up by this afternoon's gale, and at one time I was afraid of being driven out to sea. I anticipate a further breaking up of the ice inside as yet. It is the opinion of the ice master of the Prince Albert, and our ice quartermasters, that this bay will in all probability be clear before the end of the month. Under these circumstances it will be late before I can possibly leave the ship for exploration, as having sent Mr. M'Cormick, the surgeon, away with one boat's crew of six men, and my taking another will render the ship powerless. Mr. M'Cormick is gone to Baring Bay, Wellington Channel. My intention is to visit Maxwell Bay first, as there is a probability from its depth (un known) that there may be a passage into Jones' Sound. On my return the ice will be fit for sledging, when 1 shall send a party to make ' caches' on the eastern shores of Wellington Channel, for a further search and explo ration of North Devon in the spring of 1853, in com pliance with Sir Edward Belcher's orders. The Mary yacht, left inside Cape Spencer by Sir J. Ross, I visited on the 17th. Finding her very close to the water my self, Mr. Shellaber, second master, and two men, launched her end brought her round to the ship. I shall, therefore, haul her up on Beechy Island, which I think is a preferable position. She requires repair from exposure and frost, which I shall complete during the winter. With respect to my visiting Port Leopold, as ex pressed in Captain Kellett'a orders, a copy of which is herewith enclosed, I do not consider it necessary, as Mr. Kennedy, of the Prince Albert, informs me ho was there twice last year, and found the provisions in good condi tion, but the steam launch close to the water, and the covering of the house much torn and requiring repair; but as the launch has remained in the same position since left by Sir James Ross, and nct considering the repairing of the housing of great importance, I shall not perhaps visit that port till next spring. Your Lord ships will perceive by Mr. Kennedy's report that he has discovered a passage through Brentford Bay into Vic toria Strait, crossed it, and travelled to about 100 deg. west; thence he proceeded up to Cape Walker and re turned to his ship in Batty Bay, vial Port Leopold, with out finding any traces of the missing expedition. He made to me, by letter on the 20th instant, proposi tions for a further search, a copy of which letter I en close, together with my reply; also a requested reply to mine from Mr. Kennedy, and notwithstanding his not being able to assist me in cutting into our winter quarters, I considered that it should make no difference in the assistance I had offered him in carry ing out his views, rather increasing it by b n e a t m b i r n e g e an officer (Mr. Alston, mate), r namedd this ship in h his fy l i letter t ei t gs e gent's nwt o ,n l s men to accomtypalyt.himuewdherichtbweosuealdsetnwireealelli,me eathts.aebt:terse,nmg_trh. of the par t Kennedy be2o tb icbaiuts.,e tod b t e h e t a ke n eon provisions, befs people; and I considered that everythinghad bieceenuisieedty tllneldetw, iatbhdr underespect a t e % b a a e f u a r b th le er le e e x d p e lo r ra a t s io m n has proved himself; but this morning I recieved another letter from him, a core of which and my reply thereto I enclose, and regret by the withdrawal of his men from the service, and On mature consideration, he considers it, even with the means ho could afford, impossible to carry out the object in view.

" By a printed copy of the instructions furnished you by me of the orders under which I am proceeding, you are already acqua i nted w i th t h e pr i nc i pa l o bjects con t ensplated by my Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty, " Under th e secon d part o f paragra ph 4 you will per sive that the force under my command is to be divided —one division to explore Wellington Channel, the other to push forward towards Melville Island, or some safe position which may be accessible, and there to deposit a supply of provisions, fuel, and clothing for any parties which may reach such position from the expedition under Captain Collinson or Commander M'Clure. " You are already aware that tl'ts second part, viz. the duty of proceeding towards Melville Island, has been allotted to you, aided by Commander M'Clintock, of her Majesty's ship Intrepid. " The printed instructions of their Lordships addressed to me must be your guide iu carrying ou t this important duty, and, a f ter t h e lon experience have had of your g zeal and j u d gment, I can only add, execute it with your accustomed energy and rejoin me at Beechy Island. " But their Lordships have entailed on me a much more laborious task, that of enjoining you to a strict observance of their wishes expressed is paragraphs 9, 10, 11. " Under the second part of paragraph 9 you will pro bably learn before our final separation of the probability of my forcing Wellington Channel this season. " Under any contingency, should we become too separate to communicate, you will consider it as the prominent fea , ure of your sledge operations, to meet our party, sent to meet yours, ou the meridian of 105 deg. west, and on t h e para ll e l of 77 deg. north. " I do not mean to tie either party to remain there, but as both must be directed to seek that locality, they will each be instructed to select the coast line nearest to that position as the grand rendezvous, and there erect a cairn, and establish its positioa as the base for future operations. " I shall dispatch on this service (if not conducted by myself) ono of my most able and qualified officers, and I feel that it is needless to remark to you how important it is that every record upon this expedition should bear the character of our former service. " Thus far have I proceeded. But I now arrive at a point which is attended with serious difficulty. " It is more than probable from my experience in blasting the ice, that, either by good fortune, or unceasing labour, the ship or tender may pass into the Queen's Channel. That having found fresh traces of our missing countrymen, we may push on, and on your return to Beechy Island at the termination of your mission you may still find no traces or notice of us. " Their Lordships' instructions desire you to return, having reference to your supplies. " As their Lordships are well aware that in my ab sence it will be impossible for me to suggest to you the course most advisable under the then circumstances, I must trust entirely to your own good judgment. First, as to supplying the North Star with everything you can possibly spare, and taking from her every invalid, and making the best of your way to England, so as to afford their Lordships the best information as to what has been done, and what course it may yet be advisable to pursue; bearing in mind that vessels can reach Beechy Island as soon or before those out here would think it prudent to leave Lancaster Sound. "Oa the other baud you may have sufficient pro visions to dispatch the North Star, placing your own ship in depot and sending home full details of your pro ceedings. " Under any circumstances of advances this season, I shall give every positive instruction to Commander Pullen to send a sledge party to meet one from us at Philllp'a Port, Baillie Hamilton ',land, Dundss Island, or Cape Beecher, unless be should nave reasons to know that we are on the Baring Bay side of the channel. "Copies of all letters and orders will be furnished him for information of officers in command, as well as for transmission to England.

No trace whatever of that vessel has been fourom nd. " 16. Commander McClintock has just returned f examination of the ice in Wellington Channel, from which I have every hope of making successful progress this season. The current appears to run rapidly from it out of Lancaster Sound, charged with small es. This current enters Union Bay , a nd sweeping round the spit of Beechy Island (it is n ot a peninsula), binds the ice in that bay and comes out under the floe to which the squadron is fast with some velocity to the southward. " 17. Yesterday, accompanied by Captain Kellett and Commander Pullen, I searched Cape Riley. The result of our examination, viewing it ss a possible magnetic station, is most assuredly adverse to any such conclusion. As a magnetic observer myself (Kellett andPullen also I could trace nothing to war rant any such conclusion)., Nor do I believe it probable that instruments of such a nature would be carried to a spot totally unprotected in every way, and not possessing any feature to recommend it, when the spot on Beechy Island afforded the best locality. " 18.. Another and very important reason adverse to any such selection would be the almost vertical mass of mo untains within a few yards of the position. " 19. The circles of stones are clearly the rcles in remains of Esquimaux habitations , and flat paved ci con tinuation towards the cliff clearly indicate not a tempo rary visit. Graves, als@, of men and children, wherein the bones appear to have been charred. also m indicate the res ti ng -place or fixed encampment of Eilui. "20. The station is also well adapted for a fishing position and for the capture o f birds. " 21. It is my firm conviction that had Sir John Franklin been disposed to leave any record of his move ments many very prominent points present themselves, and I have great hopes, from the very open season, that we shall yet find them on t he shores of Wellington Channel.

I have great satisfaction in reporting my per fect approbation of the unanimity and zeal which in spires every one engaged in this trying service, and my conviction that one and all will do their duty.

'he Secretary of the Admiralty." " Her Majesty's Ship Resolute, Beechy Island, Aug.ls. " Sir,—By the Alexander whaler I had the honour to forward au account of the movements of her Majesty's ship under my command, accompanied by her tender, the Intrepid, and her M,ijesty's ship North Star. Having been detained by contrary and light winds in Lancaster Sound, we did not arrive at this place until half.past two .s.x. on the 10th instant, and not finding the Assistance or her tender here, I immediately dispatched the In trepid to Admiralty Inlet, calling at Port Leopold. In the meantime I completed provisions from the North Star, and employed the crews getting coals and provi sions on deck, ready for the Assistance and Pioneer on their arrival. r h avi ng sa iled On the 11th instant the Assistance arrived in tow of the Int re pid, th e latter vessel having come up with her i o ff Cape F e ll Pool. On the 13th the Pioneer ar rvoerdand these vessels having completed with coals and pr n i lg prev io u sl ye dat i i midnight o n the addressed alll4 t h t he instant, ships' crews, w E s E.

The meeting was held in the Corn Exchange. Toe con .,tituency of the borough consists of about 480 voters, 100 of whom are what is termed scot and lot votes. The immense stake which Lord Fitz a illiam possesses in Peterborough has hitherto enabled him to return both Members. The railways have, however, brought fresh parties into the city, and there is a dogged determination on the part of even the Milton tenantry in Peterborough to submit no longer to Lord Fitzwilliam choosing both Members for them. At the last election, Mr. Talbot Clifton, a Conservative candidate, run Lord Fitzwilliam's nominees to within a score, the numbers being, for the Hon. G. Fitzwilliam, 259 ; Hon. R. Watson (since deceased), 230 ; J. F. Clifton, 211. Mr. Whalley is supported by the independent Liberals of Peterborough, many of whom abstained from voting at the last election. There was a large attendance of the constituency at the meeting, at which Mr. William Vergette took the chair. Having introduced Mr. Whalley, that gentleman proceeded to address the meeting at considerable length, pointing out to the electors the necessity of their making an effort to assert their independence, and assuring them, at the same time, that his canvass had been successful beyond his most sanguine anticipations. Mr. Whit well then proposed this resolution, " That Mr. Whal ley having intimated his intention to declare himself a candidate for the representation of this city, this meet ing, cordially recognising his claims to the support of the electors, pledges itself to use every legitimate means to secure his election." Mr. John Miller seconded the resolution, which was unanimously adopted, and the proceedings terminated. "'HENRY ,, The Secretary to th e Admiralty KELLETT, Captain. ." _ Aug. 20. " Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your letter et this date, and beg to place befor you the follow ing points, viz., end to which I request your reply 1. must be perfectly understood that any of your men coming to this ship ere to be previsioued by you to the extent named in your lett. r, and subject to the rules and regulations of the ship, but not to consider that they have any claim whatever on her Majesty's Gevernmeut fur wages, &c. ; and us you have offered to assist us in cutting into our winter quartets I think I may safely say your request can be complied with. "2. With regard to boats, one you propose taking from the Prince Albert yourself, and have requested the Mary yacht, which requires repair, and I expect it will take four dayt to put her in an efficient state, which you must consider. Having dispatched my own whale boat on an exploring expedition with Dr. M'Curmick, and being about to lead another myself, I shall be very glad to make an exchange with your second boat. " With respect to your proceedings, you have informed me that you have explored Regent's Inlet to Brentford Bay, west from that through a passage which you have discovered into Victoria Strait, crossing which to the opposite lands, in all for about 100 miles, then north towards Cape Walker, across Ommaney Inlet, and along the northern shore of North Somerset to Port Leopold, and to your winter quarters in Batty Bay. Under these circumstances, I certainly consider that a great portion in that direction remains yet to be explored, and think it very desirable that if you consider it possible to perform this service in the time you have stated in your letter, to take advantage of the present favourable opportunity, so that there may be no more doubt or uncertainty respecting the missing voyagers under Captain Sir John Franklin having proceeded in that direction. I will render you every possible assistance. Both yourself and Mr. Ballot tell me that you travelled throughout last winter; therefore, what has been done by one party might possibly be done by others; but I must earnestly impress on you the necestity of being careful of your men, by not exposing them more than is actually necessary to the severity of the climate, and en deavour to return to this ship by the end of September, and make au early start in the spring, when I trust, by God's blessing, you will be able to complete all.
