fourtbllbition SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. ITALY. THE POPE AND THE PRESIDENT. A letter from Rome, in the Cattolico of Genoa, contains the following passage : " It is said that in his autograph letter to the Holy Father, Prince Louis Napoleon has avowed his senti ments of filial devotedness in the strongest terms, and declares he will ma ke every effort to put down socialism. I% is added , tha t an eminent personage having waited on the Prince, had a long conversation with him, in which the Prince sai d to Understand me well him — I am of the religion of the Pope ; I know I am only here provisionally, but I hope I shall remain here long c nough to stifle the two mons ters of socialism and of the r9volation."Chese words have been frequently re peated in well-informed circles." RUSSIAN POLAND. A letter from the Russian frontier, in the National Gazette of Berlin, states that eight regiments of Russian cavalry and infmtry are encamped on the ontier near Posen, which is rigorously watched. 'he pickets of Cossacks have been doubled. Every tr,tveller is taken under military escort to the custom house, where he is rigorously examined, and his person compared with his passport. Those who go to Warsaw are announced in advance. The little town of Slapce is surrounded by a triple cordon of cavalry. The Polish inns are under special surveil lance. The stores of provisions are full ; and, not withstanding the abundant harvest, the exportation of rye and oats has been forbidden. These measures caused the belief to be entertained that there would be w ar, but no movement of Russian troops had taken place towards the west. THE LONDON GAZETTE.

SUGAR.-To day West India Sugar was not offered at any further reduction; there was, however, some reluctance on the part of grocers and refiners to operate, and a less quantity is not on offer. The public sales of 260 hhds 19 tree 3 brls Barbadoes went off heavily, barely one halt finding purchasers, low yellow at 30s 6d to 31s 6d, mid 32s to 345, good mid to good 34s 6cl to 375, fine 37s to 395, and one lot superior 41s; these rates are generally equal to those current previously. REFINED.-To-day Refined Sugar was operated in with caution for home consumption, and there were sellers of brown Lumps at 438 6d per cwt. Crushed Sugar is dull of sale for exportation, and previous terms are readily accepted. MIIIRITIITS.-This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with little notice, and the rates were rather under those of Friday; only 863 bags were offered at auction, low and mid yellow went at 295 to 303 6d, and brown from 22s 6d to 28s per cwt. EAST INDIA..-This afternoon holders of Bengal were again free sellers, and offered 14,000 bags at public sale; the principal portion was disposed of, white Benares went is lower, low to mid selling at 32s to 345, good 34s 6d to 35s 6d, fine 36s to 375, damp and washed 34s to 365, other sorts went rather cheaper, fine grainy yellow at 37s 6d to 38s, good and fine like Mauritius 31s to 32s 6d, ord to mid 27s 6d to 31s, Kbaur 20s 6d to 225, and soft yellow from 24s to 30s for low to fine.

At auction 97 baskets Java, duty paid, sold at 29s 6d to 30s 6d for low greyish. 128 chests Havannah, low to mid yellow 31s 6d to 335, and white ditto in bond 20s to 235. COFFEE.-To-day few transactions occurred privately in Native Ceylon, and at auction 734 bags were taken in at 40s to 40s 6d, being above the value. Other sorts of Coffee met with little attention for shipping or home consumption, and rather lower rates were taken. At public sale 364 bags of Costa Rica were disposed of: ordi nary to good ordinary at 403 to 43s 6d, and fine to fine fine ordinary at 46s to 49a; 106 bags Havannah of common quality 36s to 385 ; 43 casks 38 bags Planta tion Ceylon, low mid 48s 6d to 49s 6d, fine fine ord 46s to 58s, other sorts 435 to 455, pea berry 53s to 53s 6d, very ord 43s 6d ; Bahia a small part only of 475 bags sold, ord at 355, good ditto 375, damaged 323 to 365.

In East India a good deal has been done in consequence of rather terms having been acceded to. Operations are 500 hhds at is 3fl to is 31d proof. Prices have fallen Id per gallon for Leeward Island; a fair business, however, has been concluded at is 4d to is 5d proof. There is firmness on the part of holders of Brandy, and previous terms are sustained. Prices for Cognac best Brands of the vintage of 1851 rule at 4s 2d to 4s 4d, 1850 ditto 4s 61 to 43 Bd, 1849 ditto 4s 9d to 4s I Id, 1848 ditto 5s 3d to 5s 6d, older 5s 7d to 6s 6d, low to mid 2s 10d to 4s; and Bordeaux 2: 2d to 23 2d per gallon.

This atrocious crime has caused an intense excitement here, for, in addition to the peculiar circumstances of the act itself . , the deceased was highly respected in the town and neighbourhood. During the whole of Sunday the scene of the catastrophe was visited by continuous crowds of the curious. Yesterday, at twelve o'clock, an inquest was held at the Crown public house, Wilscot, by John Churchill, E-q., of Deddington, coroner for North Oxfordshire. A most respectable jury having been sworn to make inquiry touching the death of Giovanni Kalabergo, they pro ceeded to an out-house, where the body of the deceased bad been conveyed, and where a post mortem examina tion of the head had been made by Mr. Thomas Harris, surgeon, of Wardington. Two shots had taken effect, one entering the frontal bone, and the other at the back of the head, which last caused instantaneous death. The following witnesses were then called:— Jane Sawell, who had known the deceased for 40 years, was coming from Banbury on Saturday about half-past five in the evening, in the van of John Ward. She got out to walk up Wilscot-hill, and, about half-way up, saw something lying on the road which ahe thought to be a coat; but, taking hold of it, found it to be a dead man. The fingers were then cold, but the body was warm. By the light of a lantern she recognised the deceased to be Giovanni Kalabergo. Previous to this sho met a cart which she knew to belong to the deceased. It was empty and unattended. A baker's cart was a short distance in advance of this vehicle. Met no one on the road. There was a pool of blood near the body. She saw no weapon. James Ward, the carrier, corroborated the evidence of the first witness, and a person, named Ryrie, went to Wilscot for a cart, which being provided the body was removed to the village. Another hat, besides that be longing to the deceased, having been found, witness went in search of another man along the road, but nothing was seen. Did not meet anybody walking on the road before the baker's cart before mentioned, nor after that until the body was found. The ground was hard and there was a little snow, but it was too dark to notice footmarks. _ Mr. Thomas Harris, surgeon, of Wardington, was next examined. He had made a post mortem ex amination. He found a bullet had passed into the brain through the posterior inferior angle of the right parietal bone, and passing through the brain, was lodged under the dura mater, about the centre of the left parietal bone. There was like wise a contused lacerated wound on the forehead. The ball entered near the right ear, and was lodged an inch above the left ear. There was no doubt the weapon was fired close to the deceased's head, as the cravat was burned. The external laceration behind the ear was an inch square, quite black with gunpowder. This wound was the cause of death. The lacerated wound on the forehead might have been caused by a shot from a pistol; the ball might have glanced along the scalp; a bullet was found in the roll of his coat. The inquest was then adjourned until Friday. The young man charged with the offence is about 24 years of age, and has been in England only two months, during which time he has assisted his uncle in businsss. He cannot speak English with fluency. At present no evidence has been adduced affecting him, nor was he pre sent to-day. LONDON, COMPARATIVE STATEMENT OF THE NUMBER OF BRITISH SHIPS. The East India and China Association have pub lished their usual comparative statement of the number' of British ships, with their aggregate tonnage, entered inwards and cleared outwards from and to places within the limits of the East India Company's charter in the years 1850 and 1851. According to the statement of vessels entered in wards, the increase in favour of the latter period is 17 vessels, with 24,278 tonnage—the difference be tween 926 vessels, with 442,793 tonnage, in 1850, and 943 vessels, with 467,071 tonnage, in 1851. The port of London figures for an increase of 12 vessels, with 16,563 tonnage, the number of ves sels entered inwards being 597, with 288,849 tonnage, for 1850; and 609 vessels, with 304,412 tonnage, for 1851. In the case of Liverpool there is also an increase of 18 vessels, with 12,651 tonnage —the difference between 248 vessels, with 123,834 tonnage, and 266 vessels, with 136,494 tonnage. Bristol and Hull show a decrease of not less than 14 vessels, with 4,931 tonnage, 22 vessels, with 8,461 tonnage, having entered inwards in 1850, while for the later year the return does not exceed 8 vessels, with 3,530 tonnage. Clyde and the other ports ex hibit a very slight alteration, the increase being one vessel, with 995 tonnage, or the difference between 59 vessels, with 21,640 tonnage, and 60 vessels, with 22,635 tonnage. Reviewing the whole of the sta tistics connected with vessels entered inwards, it ap pears that the chief increase has been in arrivals from Madras, China, New South Wales, and Cal cutta, and the decrease in arrivals from Mauritius, Bombay, Singapore, and Penang. _ _ The statement of vessels cleared outwards shows a decrease of 222 vessels, with 78,346 tonnage—the difference between 1,173 vessels, with 562,495 ton nage, and 951 vessels, with 484,149 tonnage. In no instance has there been an increase, compared with the former year. Taking the figures in the order presented, London is returned for a decrease of 36 vessels, with 15,511 tonnage—the difference between 584 vessels, with 291,741 tonnage, and 548 vessels, with 276,230 tonnage. The decline at Liverpool is represented by 21 vessels, with 2,095 tonnage—the difference between 331 vessels, with 167,937 ton nage, and 310 vessels, with 165,842 tonnage. Bristol and Hull are returned for a decrease of 7 vessels, with 2,889 tonnage, the clearances in 1850 being 13 vessels, with 6,148 tonnage, and in 1851 6 vessels, with 3,259 tonnage. In connexion with Clyde and the other ports, the large decrease is shown of 158 vessels, with 57,851 tonnage—the difference between 245 vessels, with 96,669 tonnage, and 87 vessels, with 38,818 tonnage. The chief instances of decrease have occurred in connexion with departures for Mauritius, Bombay, China, Calcutta, Madras, Cey lon, Arabia, Singapore, Penang, and New South Wales.

SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 12.14 ind B,W.—Sid. pottin. ger, Calcutta. TUESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 13, 1852, MIDDLESEX SESSIONS, Jan. 12. The sittings of the Court for the January General Quarter Session was resumed this morning, at the Guildhall, Westminster, by adjournment from Clerken well, before Mr. Sergeant Adams, Assistant Judge; Mr. Witham, Mr. Alderman Moon, and Mr. Thompson. The calendar contains 83 cases for trial-9 of misdemeanor, and 74 of larceny. The Learned JUDGE, in his charge to the grand jury, referred to the alterations now in progress for the im provement of the court, and stated that he trusted that before he again had the pleasure of addressing the grand jury there those improvements would be approaching completion. The Learned Judge then proceeded to ob serve that four months only had elapsed since the altera tion took place in the business and arrangements of the court, under the statute passed for reducing the expenses of criminal prosecutions; but from returns that had been prepared, it appeared that already the saving had been nearly 2,5001., as far as the county of Middlesex was concerned, whilst at the same time the loss of time and inconvenience to which prosecutors and witnesses were formerly su b j ecte d had been g reatly lessened.

He was very glad that the ancient jurisdiction of the Court had been restored, and that the change had been productive of public benefit, by enabling the minor cri minal cases to be disposed of expeditiously, at little cost and loss of time, whilst the more serious and important cases were sent for trial at the Central Criminal Court. the aid be had received from Mr. Turner,i the Learned Judge said it was a g t arrangements would be made ulti matelyebdrenee to the discharge of the duties of and then, having given them the usual directions as to the manner in which the business could be best got through, as far as they were concerned, he dismissed the grand jury to their duties.

The prisoners had some gin, for which the prosecutor paid, but whether he partook of it with them ho could not tell, though he knew that at that time he had in his pocket a leather purse containing 141. or 151., and he left the house within five minutes of t o remain longer in such choisinep entering i Th t ey no le t ft w a i l sin s h oa g bout the same time, for they passed him, and directly afterwards, before they had got out of his sight, he missed his purse.

The prisoners got off, and at seven o'clock in the evening of the same day, a carpenter, named Goodey, noticed them passing down Whitehall, and heard Stainer say to the other prisoner, " I've got 3/. now," to which WE:Oy replied, " You are very lucky, but I have more than that." Stainer then turned round, a n d not i c ing that Goodey was listening, said to M`lioy, "That man is watchin g us."

Mr. BALLANTINE then said, he felt it to be his duty to mention that a person who was then in court, acting as him out of the case, in order that attorney for the prisoners, and who bad, in that capacity, instructed his friend, Mr. Poland, had obtained from a man named Banks, who kept the brothel to which these two girls had taken the prosecutor, the sum of 101., for the purpose of keeing he migh p t not run t he risk of being prosecuted as a brothel keeper. The Learned JUDGE asked where that person was ? A person who was stated to be managing clerk to Mr. Shaltock, the attorney for the defence, was here pointed out. Mr. POLAND said he had been instructed by Mr. Shaltock, and the individual pointed out had acted as Mr. Shaltoek's clerk. The Learned JUDGE having asked on what grounds it was said that he had received the 101.—it was stated that Banks had been in court, but could not then be found, and that he had a r ecei p t for the mone y si gned by Mr. S s e hal o o r e , k , ' s brother. secutor'- The Learned JUDGE asked where the receipt was? Mr. BALLANTINE said it had been sent for. The Learned JUDGE said he could do nothing until the receipt was forthcoming, and ordered tho clerk to be detained in court until it arrived. Some time after, The clerk, addressing the Court, wished to know why he was not allowed to leave. Tho Learned JUDGE then asked some questions of him, in answer to which he said a clergyman, named Brasnell (as was understood), had instructed Mr. Shut tock to defend the prisoners on behalf of the Society for the Protection of Young Females, and that he had acted as Mr. Shaltock's clerk. The Learned JUDGE—Now, what do you say to having got 10/. to keep Banks away? The clerk said he cer tainly had 101. from Banks, to prevent his being brought into the case. He would admit having done so. Mr. SliALTocx said he had never authorised his clerk to receive the 10/. for any such purpose, nor indeed for any other. The person was his clerk. The clergyman referred to stated, that he had re quested Mr. Shaltock to defend the girls, and had soli cited subscriptions for the defence. The Learned JIMIRE then said, after the admission of the clerk ho had no doubt as to what he should do, and that would be to order him to be taken before a magistrate for obtaining the money under false pre tences. Mr. BALLANTINE suggested that the matter might be treated as a contempt of court. The Learned JUDGE said he should most certainly send the man before a magistrate for getting the money by false pretences—and he should have thought an eud would have been put to this system, after the termination of the other case; but he wished it to be well understood that it was the fixed determination of the Court to deal with all these cases in the same manner, and he trusted that the matter would be brought before the notice of the Law Society, which ought to do its duty. If that Court, as far as it could, endeavoured to do its duty in stopping this system, and if these things were not put an end to, bow Was it to be expected that the bar should remain tree from all reproach? The clerk was then removed in custody. POLICE INTELLIGENCE BO W-STREET.

The following letter, addressed by his Excellency Baron Brunow to the President, was first read:— " Ashburnham-house, Jan, 2, 1852. " My dear Sir Roderick,—ln wishing you with all my heart a happy new year, I shall begin it by commu nicating to you the enclosed paper on a subject in which I know you feel deeply interested, By the perusal of the copy of the letter from Count Nesselrode to Sir Hamilton Seymour you will perceive the earnest desire evinced on the part of the Imperial Government to co operate in the measures already taken to discover, if possible, traces of Sir John Franklin's expedition. You will also learn with great satisfaction how willingly and cordially the Imperial Government has entered into a mature deliberation as to the measures contemplated by Lieutenant Pim for the accomplishment of his object. But, at the same time, you must not be surprised to hear that serious doubts have arisen at St. Petersburgh in re gard to the possibility of carrying into effect Lieutenant Pina's noble enterprise. These doubts are more than mere conjectures; they amount almost to a certainty, us you will conclude atter the perusal of the statement of meta which accompanies Count Nesselrode's letter to Sir H. Seymour. " Under these circumstances, it was rot to bo ex pected that the Imperial Government should be induced to put in jeopardy the life of a British officer, sacrificing his safety to a bold experiment, without any reasonable chance of success. " On the other hand, you will be gratified to hear that the Imperial Government has at once suggested to put Lieutenant Pim in communication with your friend Baer and Middendorff, in order to ascertain what can be done towards the discovery of the traces of Sir J. Franklin's expedition, in as far as further means can be adopted on our part to meet the generous wishes and zealous en deavours of her Majesty's Government and the British public. " You may derend upon it, my dear Sir Roderick, that your own honourable advocacy in this good cause has been sincerely appreciated by the Imperial Government, and that the strong interest you have taken in Lieut. Pim's journey to Russia has been an additional ground for securing the favourable and friendly reception he has met with on all sides in my country. " Believe me, with the highest esteem and regard, " Faithfully yours, " BM:WOW. " To Sir Roderick Murchison, President of the Royal Geographical Society." The statement of the Imperial Government alluded to in his Excellency's letter, commences with a notice of the lively interest which the Emperor has not ceased to take in the generous efforts made by the British Govern ment to discover traces of the Franklin expedition, as evinced by the co-operation of his Imperial Majesty; distinct orders having been given to his officers and people on the coasts of Asia and America to assist in every way the British explorers, while instructions have been given to obtain any information of shipwrecks on the northern shores of Siberia. The report then pro ceeds— _ _ " With similar sentiments of sympathy, the Emperor heard of the expedition proposed by Lieutenant Pim, of the British navy. But unfortunately, between the con ception of such a project and its realization physical dif ficulties and insurmountable obstacles exist, which Mr. Pim, guided bp his generous devotion, does not seem to have sufficiently foreseen, and concerning which it is tho duty of the Russian Government to enlighten him. " It is easy to trace in the mop of the world, across the immense wilderness of Northern Siberia, an itinerary which might lead to the end desired to be reached by Lieutenant Pim; but in executing such a project it must not be forgotten that, in addition to the enormous dis tances to be traversed, vast deserts must also be passed over, which, buried under eternal snows, offer neither means of transport nor provisions—unexplored regions, in which tribes of savage people are scattered at wide intervals—people over whom the Russian power exer cises only the slightest influence, and whose warlike character, barbarous customs, and hatred of strangers are such that the Imperial Government would find it impossible to guarantee the personal security of Lieut. Pim and his party. " To give an idea of the difficulties that such a journey presents it is well to call to mind the expedition under taken some years ago by Admiral Wrangel. Prepared during two preceding years by the local authorities, this expedition, though undertaken on a scale of research much less extensive than that now contemplated, had to be diminished in consequence of a disease among the dogs employed to drag the sledges, and yet 50 sledges and 600 dogs were required. " From this example, it may be easy to judge of the fate which would attend Mr. Pim and his companions in the endeavour to execute a journey almost treble the ex tent of that accomplished by Admiral Wrangel, and in which the British officer, having to be accompanied by interpreters must be provided with more considerable means of transport. " To define more precisely the nature of these difficul ties, and to establish the basis of an approximate esti mate, it is sufficient to remember, that as Admiral Wrangel was compelled to employ 50 sledges and 600 dogs (each sledge being supplied with from 50 to 70 salt herrings per divas), Lieutenant Pim's expedition would call for from 1,200 to 1,500 dogs, and provisions in pro portion. Now, these animals are only kept in sufficient number fur the use of the inhabitants, and it is doubt ful if it would be possible to collect such a quantity o dogs, even if the complete rui❑ of the natives, which musf ensue, were entirely put out of the question. "As to the ides of setting on foot such a journey at present, and without having made the necessary preparations, the Imperial Government does not hesi tate to ♦iew it as physically (' materiellemene) impos sible." After some observations upon the improbability of the expedition of Franklin having been shipwrecked in the glacial sea to the north of Siberia, without some information of the event having been conveyed to the Imperial authorities by the natives, the report concludes by stating that the Imperial Government, having it at heart to neglect nothing which might contribute to the work of humanity which the British Government has followed up with so much perseverance, seizes the op portunity of proposing to Lieutenant Pim to have fur ther communications with M. Baer and M. Middendorff in order that any ulterior measures may be indicated by which tidings may be obtained of the missing expe dition. After this statement was read, Sir RODERICK MURCHISON observed, that Lieutenant Pim had assured him by letters from St. Petersburgh that he had boon most cordially welcomed by all the Russians to whom ho had been addressed, but that all the persons most conversant with the tracts to be ex plored considered his scheme impracticable, saying, that if ho went on with it they should never see him again. Still, when ho last wrote, but before the formal decision had been announced to him, Mr. Pins had not abandoned his hope of pro • reeding; and Sir H. Seymour in writing to Sir R. Mur chison, had thus spoken of that gallant officer:--" If exertion will enable Mr. Pim to procure the necessary permission for his expedition, you may be sure he will proceed. I never saw a man more intent on carrying through what he had undertaken." In one of his letters from :St. Petersburgh, addressed to the President, Mr. Pita thus expressed himself :—" You cannot imagine how anxious I feel, and how I look forward to my interview with the Emperor. I shall use every endeavour to per suade his Majesty to share my confidence, and to allow me to proceed." To this letter Sir Roderick replied, repeating the injunction he gave to Lieutenant Pim at his departure, that he must not think of prosecuting his design if the Russian authorities deemed it impracti cable, and that when such intrepid and experienced men as Aujon and Matinshkin (the companions of Wrangel) had assured him they never would see him more, he must abandon it; though he ought to remain in Russia with the view of co-operating in any other project that might be considered feasible by the ,Russian geogra phers. The President added, that his own specula tions had never led him to suppose that Franklin cuuld have reached so far westward as the longi tude of New Siberia ; but ho had long thought that the expedition might have been frozen up to the north of the distant lands described by Wrangel and Kellett beyond Bearing's Straits. It was to those lands that he looked chiefly as the ultimate dostination,of Lieute nant Pim's journey, and it was to the same tract that Captain Beatson now proposed to endeavour to proceed in his own small screw steamer—a project to which, , in common with Admiral Sir F. Beaufort, be gave his hearty approbation, and which he hoped would meet with the public encouragement due to so noble and andgo aerous an enterprise. Sir Roderick then called atten tion to a sketch-map illustrative of a plan of research which had been communicated to Lieutenant P Ym by e the Russian geographers, as probabltoy the affording north of readiest means of reaching the lands Behring's Straits. It suggests that an expedition should proceed by sea to the upp er extremity of the Gulf of Anadyr, and, traversing the land to a point almost due north, to endeavour thence to reach the hilly grounds seen in the distance. The President mentioned that such an exploration might possibly be in some way combined with the voyage of Capt. Beat son, and thus by such efforts directed from the east in conjunction with the renewal of the enterprise directed by the Admiralty to follow the supposed track of Franklin from the west through VPellington Strait, an exhaustive survey might be com pleted which would be will worthy of the cause. In conclusion, he hoped that any efforts like those of Lieu tenant Pim and Captain Beatson, or others which might proceed from the independent geographers of Britain, would be, as far as possible supported by our Admiralty, and, to prevent aoy possible misconstruction on this point, he took this occasion to state, and he was sure the society agreed with him, that in the tracts they had been ordered to examine the officers and men of the exploring vessels scot out by authority had made the most noble exertions. At the same time, he reminded the meeting that when Sir John Roes was given up as lost it was the Royal Geographical Society which led the way in dispelling despondency, by subscribing to send out a vessel to the rescue ; and he would now only add, that he had the honour of presiding over them when the gallant Franklin and his companions left the shores of England, so it would be the happiest moment of his life if any good tidings should be heard of them while he was again in the chair of the Royal Geogra phical Society. Dr. SHAW, the secretary to the society, then read the following interesting communication from Captain Beat son, proposing a new plan of search for the missing ex' pedition " 36 , Moorgate.street, Jan. 12, 1852. " Sir,—Tho subject of sear c h f or Sir John Franklin. hiving been N frequently discussed by the members of this scientific society and others well acquainted with the navigation of the Polar regions, I think it would be pre sumptuous in me to attempt an explanation of my reasons for commencing the search from the north-went of Beh ring's Straits. I believe that many aro of opinion that a high northern latitude may be reached through the open water seen by Wrangel, and that subsequently an east ern passage may be forced by a screw-steamer. I 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 1849, after the return of Sir James Ross, I began to think seriously of the probable causes of Sir John Franklin's detention, 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 were exactly the same as mine, namely, that Sir John would pass to the nortnward of the Parry Island, and never think of turning back till in the meridian of Behring's Straits. They were also of opinion that when he arrived thus far he would be prevented getting to the southward by a chain of islands extending far to the westward—a continuation. in fact, of the Parry Islands. Supposing, however, Franklin to have succeeded iu getting so far to the westward, and being stopped there, it cannot be imagined that he would relinquish the at tempt to get through this last barrier to all his hopes, and the realizitiou of the passage into the Pacific, to re trace his steps from a point which may have taken years to reach. What would a brave man do in such a case? Certainly not to retreat in two or even three years, par ticularly if, as we hope, they have met with sufficient animal food to support them. I believe Sir John Franklin to be somewhere to the north of Behring's Straits. and certainly not far to the eastward, and in that belief wrote to Lady Franklin in October last, stating my plan, and soliciting her assistance, which, I am hrppy to say, was immediately given. I have since then exerted mt self in selecting a suitable vessel, which I have purehased, and which is now in dock undergoing the necessary alterations. 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 Islands, whence, having tilled up with coal, &c., 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 ice. If there is a possibility of getting to the north, on or about the meridian of the Straits, I shall do so; other wise, I intend pushing my way to the north-west till I arrive at the open water seen by Wrangel, when, per haps, I may be able to get to the north and then to the east. Should I not succeed in getting so far along the coast this year, I might employ the spring (before the breaking up of ice) in an attempt to reach that land aeon by Captain Kellett from Herald Island, and thus be enabled to perform one part of the scheme proposed by Lieutenant Pim. I would next in the spring push 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, nevertheless, determined to go in the best way I can. " I have the honour to be, Sir. " Your obedient humble servant, " DONALD BEATSON. " Sir R. Murchison, President of the Royal Geographical Society," Captain Fitzroy, Sir Woodbine Parish, the Presi dent, and Mr. White addressed some observations to the meeting, in all of which a hope was expressed that Franklin and some at least of his brave companions might still be alive. The plan of Captain Beatson was most favourably re ceived, and a resolution was unanimously adopted," That his generous and noble devotion deserved the counte nance and support of the society." It was announced that a subscription list is aid of Captain Beatson's undertaking would be opened at the society's rooms, and that handsome contributions had been made by Lord Ellesmere, Admiral Beaufort, Mr. Barrow, and others. The chief cost of his enterprise will, however, fall upon Captain Beatson himself, NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. A large s t, am -frigate, with troops (supposed to be the Megnara), under trysails , standing W. by S., was passed during a heavy N.W. gale, and s , :eming to make good weather of it, un the 9th inst., in lat. 48 57 N., long. 6 45 W., by the Brilliant, at Southampton. Rear-Admiral Deans Dundas's flag-ship Britannia, 120, Captain Goldsmith, at Portsmouth, it is expected, will be fully manned in the course of tcn days. She has all her petty officers, and nearly all her A.B.'s. She requires ordinary seamen and smart boys. It is believed that the Gallant Admiral will hoist his flag about the 3d of February. Rear-Admiral the lion. M. F. F. Berkeley, C. 8., who will succeed Admiral Dundas as senior naval lord, has returned to the Admiralty. _ _ It was reported yesterday that Captain Sir Edward Belcher, C. 8., and Captain Kellett, C. 8., will command the Arctic Searching Expedition of 1852. Captain Horatio Austin, C. 8., the ex•commander of the late Arctic searching expedition, it is reported, will commission the Sanspareil, Sl-gun screw-ship, at I)e -vonport, as superintendent of the steam department at that port. It is also said that he is to have the first vacant Good-service Pension. Rapid, 8, Commander Blanc, having had her defects made good, was towed into Plymouth Sound on Saturday by the Confiance, steam-tug. She hoisted the Blue Peter, but as the weather set in foul she held on, and very wisely, as it blew a gale in the night from S.W„ with torrents of rain. On Sunday the wind hauld in to N.W. at times, but it remains very unsettled. Tweed, 18, Commander Lord F. Russell, is being fast dismantled, and will be paid off in a few days. Tortoise, lighter, Shearman master, sailed from Devon port on Saturday evening, for Falmouth, with the fur niture of Rear-Admiral Reynolds, taken out of the Southampton; but put back again on Sunday morning. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 12.—0 n Friday last the Board of Examination at the Royal Clarence-yard (Mr. John Da vies, RN., master-attendant; Mr. Joseph Tinhorn, store keeper ; and Dr. M'Kechnie, of Hasler), opened 219 cases of preserved meat, out of which number only 37 were considered good enough to distribute for consump tion ; 282 contained similarly offensive matter to that previously condemned, and were thrown overboard at sea. To-day the examination has not been resumed, the whole of the canister in the lower store having been disposed of. Tomorrow the stock in the upper stores will be commenced upon. Orders have been issued to the executive of the Royal Clarence-yard to recommence the manufacture !f pem mican for the supply of the new Arctic Searching Ex pedition. Awful weather has visited these shores during the past four days and nights. The Southampton, 50 gun frigate, carried away her mainyard, and has been waiting at St. Helen's for another, which was sent out to her by the tug this afternoon. Captain Kincaid, inspector of factories for Scotland, has appointed Mr. S. Kincaid, surgeon, R.N. (late of her Majesty's ship Helena), a certifying surgeon of factories pro tem , with the sanction of the director-general.

THE N EN '' , CHURCH AT HAMPSTEAD,--During the heavy gale which prevailed on Friday morning the district of Hampstead suffered most severely. Amongst many other casualties was that of the blowing off nearly thirty feet of the spire of the new best district church. The edifice, b u ilt in one of the loftiest positions of that elevated neigh bourhood, from its peculiar site and extreme height (being upwrds of 200 feet) has been an object of great attractioni It was a most fortunate circumstance that the accident hap pened during the night; for had it occurred when the work men were in the church (the interior not yet being finished), the consequences must have been most fatal, as the masonry fell on the roof, dashing through to the body of the church.
