THE ENGLISH GENTLEMAN'S LIBRARY MANUAL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - SIR—As some of your Contemporaries have, done me the favour to notice a book called the English Gentleman's Library Manual, permit me to solicit the favour of the insertion of the' followiug literary anecdotes, which I can assure you are original, (extracted from the department of English Literature.) I remain, Sir, your obedient Servant, 155, Oxford-street, - Oct. 3. WM. GOODHUGH. DR. JOHNSON. After the publication of his English Dictionary, John son made a proposal to a number of booksellers convened for that purpose, of writing a Dictionary of Trade and Commerce. The proposal went round the room without any answer, when a well known son of the trade, remark able for the abruptness of his manners, replied, " Why, Doctor, what the devil do you know of Trade and Com merce ?" The Doctor very mildly answered, " Not much, I confess, in the practical line, but 1 believe I could glean from different authors of authority on the subject, such materials as would answer the purpose very well." The proposal, however, fell to the ground. Dr. Johnson was not paid above two guineas a week for writing the Raiabler, of which the booksellers cleared above five thousa-•d pounds. The late Lord Buchan was net an admirer of Johnson, especially from Me . manner in which Johnson speaks of Thomson in his Lives of the Poets. His Lordship, in a letter addressed to me, denies the assertion of Johnson relative to Thomson, that his first want on coming to London was a pair of shoes. His Lordship sayer— " The trifling story about his losing his bundle on his way from Wapping to Mallet's house, in London, and the want of shoes, is in the peculiar style of malevolence which stain the works of Johnson as a biographer. " The only occasion I had the mischance to meet John son, was at old Strahan's, the translator of the six first books of ,the Eueid, in Suffolk-street, London, where I found him and Mallet preparing that work for publica; Lion, after having censured Gavin Douglas, Dryden, and the other predecessors of poor Strahan, in the translation of Virgil. " Of all the men distinguished in this or any other age, Dr. Johnson has left upon posterity the strongest and most vivid impression, so far as person, manners, disposition, and conversation are concerned. We do but name him or open a hook which he has written, and the sound and ac tion rectal to the imagination at once, hi, form, his merit, his peculiarities, nay, the very uncouthness of his gestures, and the deep impressive tone of his voice. We learn not only what he said, but how he said it."—Sir W. Scott. cm Weil- . and fine Ider the Na.

It is an extraordinary and melancholy fact, and one which well deserves the serious attention of the legislator and the philosopher, that in France, as in England, the number of cr►minals last year exceeded the number in the year preceding. It appears, that in the year 1826 the number of persons charged with criminal offences in France was 7,591, of whom 603, who fled, were condemned par conlumace Of the remainder, 2,640 were acquitted, and 4,318 found guilty, and condemned to the following punishments : To death l5O To hard labour for life 2Bl To hard labour for various terms 1,139 To solitary imprisonment 1,228 To the pillory (carcan) To banishment 1 To civil degradation I To imprisonment, with or without fine To confinement for a certain nu►nber of years (being under 16 years of age) in a house of correction ,34S The pr oportion of females to males was abou 4 t 20 in 100; and above half the accused persons were under 30 years of age. The population of France is, in round numbers, 31,000,be reckoned, in round 000. The population of England and Wales m ay num bers, at 14,000,000. The number of persons charged with criminal offences in England and 'Wales in 1826 was 16,147. Of these— Were condemned to death 1,200 Transportation for life ........................ 133 Transportation for 14 years lB5 Transportation for 7 years .............

SYno llett first published a History of England in 1757, and reprinted it in 1758 in 11 octavo volumes : it was published in sixpenny numbers, of which 20,000 copies were sold directly. This extraordinary popularity was created by the artifice of the publisher. He addressed a packet of the proposals to every parish clerk in England, carnage free, with half a crown enclosed, as a compliment to have them distributed through the pews of the church, which being generally done, the pious people read the papers instead of listening to the sermon, and the resul4 was an extensive demand for the work.-- Goodhuyh's Library Manual. LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1827. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PLYMOCTIi, OCT. have received, via Leghorn, .letters from - Malta, dated the Ist of Sep tember, froin which we present an extract : MALTA, SEPT. I.—We are lo oking wiih the greatest anxiety for news from the Archipelago, in full expectation that a blow will be struck, i n one shape or other, and, from the 'Sultan's natural bent, it is thought here that it will be hostile. The most peremptory orders are left here for 'all ships to re• pair to the 'Archipelago.with all possible dispatch, where all the combined forces now make a show of one hinidred sail. What the. Grand Seignor has to oppose to it is not well known. lt has been re ported here that Lord Cochrane had given lip the Greek cause, but it not true;' he is about to try them once more. At the date of the last accounts, his Lordship was at Poros, with the frigate Hellas, steam boat Perseverance, and Unicorn cutter. They are a shocking set to have any thing to . do With ; robbery and cutting each other's throats, and plun dering all descriptions of vessels,.appear to be their principal employ. Our Malta Gazettes teem x i t i, accounts . of their atrocities, and, of the trials of many of the captured perpetrators of them.---.lle Sultan is amusing . himself with decapitati.lg his abject miserable subjects, as a caveie to the rest, but, depend on it, the storm is gathering, and will soon burst over his head. . The- Genoa, Albion, and Dartmouth, had. long and stormy passages; the latter sprung three top sail-yards and several other spars; the rope. With which they were fitted in England is miserably bad ; it should be looked into.—The following is the dis position of our squadron : At Smyrna and in the Archipelago—Asia, 84, Vice-Admiral Sir . Edward Codrington, K.C.8., Capt. Edward Curzon; Genoa, 74, Capt. Walter Bathurst; Albion, 74, Capt. Ommanney ; Cam brian, 48, Capt. G. W. Hamilton, C. 8.; Dart mouth, 42, Capt. T. Fellowes, ; Seringapa tam, 46, Capt. Fitz• Clarence.; Dryad, 42, Capt.' Hon.- G. Crqfton; Talbot,. 28, • Capt. lion. Fred. Spencer; Zebra, 18,. Captain Chas. Cotton ; Rifle man, 18, Capt. J. T. Mitchell ; Raleigh, 18, Capt. J. W. Dalling; -Rose, 13, Capt. Lewis Davies; Brisk, 10, Capt. Hon. William Anson; ,Philomel, 10, Capt. Hon. William Keith; Jasper, 10, C a pt. L. C. Rook(' ; Mastiff (surveying) Capt. Copeland; and, the Racer tender. . At the lonian Islands—Ariadne, '44, Capt. lion. C. L. Irby; Pelican, 18, Capt. W. A. B. Hamil ton ; Alacrity, 10, Capt. R. L. Baynes. At Alexandria—Glasgow, 50 1 Capt. Hon. J. A. Maude; Gannet, 18, Capt. Lord Ingestrie ; Pelo rus, 18, Capt. P. Richards; Chanticleer, 18, Capt, J.)3.- Maxwell (with convoy). At, Malta—Camelion, 10, Capt. Wyvill ; Mus quito, 10, Capt. George Martin : both will sail in - a day or two for Smyrna. A French squadron, of three sail of the line; passed this Island on the 28th ult. for the Archipe lago. A large French frigate (name unknown) has just anchored here, bound thither. The Dutch frigate Kenaw Haseelear, and brig of war Draak, are lying here. -On Sunday the Athol, 28, Captain James Arthur Murray, arrived here, from a three years' service on the Coast of Africa, the East Indies, and the Persian Gulf. She was employed in the last named place, in company with the Tamar, 26, Capt. James Gordon Bremer, C. 8., and Pandora, 18, Captain Jervoise, in adjusting some differences which had arisen between the Whabee Pirates (or Arabs); and the Persians and Native traders, which being accomplished, with no prospect existing of any acts of rapacity or hostility being renewed by either party, the ships rejoined Admiral Gage, at Penang; and, subsequently, on the 9th of June, the Athol departed for England, calling at the Mauritius, St. Helena, and Ascension ; and the Tamar, for the same ultimate destination, calling at Madras, to embark the Governor, Sir Thomas Munro, as a passenger. The remaining ships of the squadron were thus em ployed :—Java (flag ship), and Fly, 18, Captain Panne!, about to proceed from Penang to Calcutta; the Rainbow, 28, Hon. Capt. Rous, had sailed on a visit to New South Wales; Success, 28, Captain Stirling, on passage thence to Trincomalee; Cham pion, 18, Captain Studdert, and Pandora, at Madras; Cyrene, 18, Captain A. Campbell, had been sent to Sincapore, and to run round the neighbouring islands which merchant vessels frequent. The Athol left a Dutch frigate at the Mauritius, and a Dutch line-of battle-ship at the Cape, on their return to the Texel, from Batavia.—The Owen Glendower, 46, Com modore Christian, C.B. had lately left the Mauritius, to return to the Cape; the Semarang, 28, Captain Dunn, was cruising off Madagascar ; the Helicon, 10, • Captain Acland, was refreshing her crew at the Seychelles, they being affected with dysentery. All was quiet in India, as regarded our Presidencies. On Tuesday the Duke of York ,steam-passage vessel returned here from Malaga, in foUrteen days, Gibraltar in twelve, Cadiz in ten, and Lisbon in seven days, having experienced the Equinoctial gales in the Bay of Biscay, where she, in pulling up to round Ushant, with a N.N.W. wind, left a long j line of vessels beating up, to get round. The steam vessel rounded Ushant on Sunday evening last, and passed close to five sail of the 'Experimental Squadron, under easy sail, standing to the S.W. A French frigate from Brest, supposed to be the Pearl, and a steam-boat, had arrived at Cadiz, on their way to Algiers and Toulon, having stores on board for ,the French blockading squadron, which had cap tured a vessel, laden with guns and ammunition, for the Dey, and sent her into Toulon. The English brig Lord Rawdon, which was recently cut out from under the batteries of Gibraltar by the Spa niards, upon the plea of her being engaged in smuggling, had arrived at Cadiz. This is the fifth vessel which the Spaniards have had the audacity thus to capture, which ought to be characterised as acts of piracy, and to be treated as such by our Go vernment. Such is the wretched state of the Spa nish Government, that redress, when once the ves sels are stolen, is considered as quite hopeless. The Governor of Gibraltar has requested, we understand, that a steam-vessel might be placed under his com mand, which, there can be no doubt, would render most important services to the country, in numerous ways, where calms and strong tides are so prevalent. The Duke of York, in a fornor trip, left a transport at Gibraltar, bound to England, which could not, from the strength of the current and strong westerly winds, get throtkh the Straits; the steamer, on her return thither legrn England, found her i n pre cisely the same sitliation. Had a steam vessel been stationed there she could thereby have been released from the restraint in a few hours, and the hire of the vessel for that period, would have been saved. Such is the superior accommodation of steam-navi gation, that one half of the number of the Duke of York's passengers are French officers, gentlemen, and merchants, returning from Spain to Paris, which latter city, by the connecting steam-boats, between Southampton and Havre, they are enabled to reach with greater facility, more comfort, and le'ss danger, than they could by travelling through Spain. General Cast a l ana , who has been re called from the command in Andalusia, was to have returned in the Duke of York but she was too quick in her movements to wait whilst tha.Ge neral packed up. Unusual good health had pre vailed this season throughout the neighhourhbod of Gibraltar and the Morocco side. The Duke id York brought the first cargo of fruit-from Malaga -- muscatel grapes, 100 tons, in the finest order acid bloom, water=melons, lemons, raisins, and almonds, with 116,000 ,dollars; from Gibraltar, for British trierchvits, and . 4o passengers, amongst whom were Mr. Barbosa, first Secretary to the PortugueSe Le gation, and the Emperor of Morocco's banker. Extract of a private letter, dated Lisbon, Sept. 24: _" Our squadron now looks respectable in the eyes of - the Portuguese, having here the Spartiate, 74, Vice-Admiral Lord Amelius Beauclerk, Captain Fre. derick Warren; *Wellesley, 74, Captain F. L. Mait land, C.13'.; Warspite, 74, Captain the Hon. Robert S. Dundas ; the Pyramus frigate, Capt. 'Geo. Rose; Sartorius, and several tenders. The detachments of Marines are landed twice a week, Tuesday:, and Thursdays, at day-light, for exercise, and to be ready to take the• field, under Sir Wm. Clinton. The senior COmmander, Captain Fuller, R.N., of the Wellesley, commands the whole brigade, consisting of eight companies. .They are a 'fine body of men, having been well drilled under Captain Patten, R.N., of the Spartiate. This country is in a sad distract ed state ; the prisons are full of persons of all par ties, who have become ohnoXious to the Minister of the hour." Yesterday afternoon the ship Westbrook passed byfor the river, from Jamaica, in forty days having left the . island on the 21 s t o f A ugust . We regret to learn that a malignant fever made its appearance among the 84th regiment, on the 14th of that month, which had destroyed from 10 to 15 men daily. Sir John Kean had, in consequence, ordered the remain der of the regiment to move directly from Port Royal to the mountains. The Scylla and Harlequin were the only ships in port; they were healthy. The Westbrook brings unfavourable accounts of the crops; many of the shipS, called the First-of-August ships, which have left the island (none of them 'are yet arrived), are coming home with only half-car goes. The greatest failure was in sugar, but the coffee is a very poor crop. • The Isis frigate, Commodore Sir Thomas Staines,' K.C.8., -will sail to-morrow morning, to join the squadron in the Archipelago. We' understand that the high approbation expressed by the Lord High Admiral to Sir Thomas Staines,:of the efficient and seaman-like manner in which this fine frigate was fitted for service, and the nal and alacrity displayed therein, was most especially the gratifying reward of the meritorious exertions of the officers and ship's company, whose zeal in the equipment could hardly be restrained within the hours limited daily for the executive duties of the ship. From being taken out of dock, With her bold swept clean, up to the period of her being reported ready for sea, with her foreign stores, five months' provisions, two hundred and eight tons of water, twenty-three tons of cop per coin for Malta, and two tons'and a half or silver for Gibraltar, all on board, under hatches, twenty eight days only elapsed. This is a gratifying proof of what may be effected by calling the energies of our old experienced officers of last war into active service. Letters from the Experimental Squadron, dated on Tuesday last, state the ships had had only one day's trial since they left Spithead, which was on Saturday last. At starting there was little wind and the sea 'smooth, when the Coluinbine fore reached the squadron, until the breeze freshened considerably, with squalls, accompanied with a head sea, when 'the Columbine carried away the iron gammoning of her bow-sprit, and stove in two of her half-ports : she was not, therefore, included in the trial, which concluded thus:—Acorn beat, to wind ward, Satellite, mile; Challenger, Wolf, 1 ; Alert, 31-. The Sapphire was not present, having parted company. The trial lasted eight hours. The Challenger arrived at Scilly on Tuesday, to fish and secure her bowsprit; which was very badly sprung. . The Tyne, 28, Capt. James Kearney White, went out of harbour this morning; she is ordered to rejoin the Experimental Squadron. At Spithead—lsis and Tyne. In the Harbour—Victory; Revenge, Mel ville, Maidstone, Athol, Primrose, Myrtle, Sylvia, Starling, and Arrow. . . The'Lord High Admiral was pleased to promote the following Otlicers on the 29th ult.:—Com mander Philip IL Bridges (1816), of the Prince Regent; and Commander John Foote (1813), of the Britannia, to the rank of Captain.—Lieut. John James Hough (made in 1805), commanding tlae Cracker cutter ; Lieut. James Pearl, of the Starling (1808), Lieut. David John Dickson, of the Sylvia (1809), and Lieut.

They expressed great regret on leaving England, as the most kind attention has been paid to them since their arrival in this country, par ticularly during their residence at Cumberland Lodge, where they fared sumptuously every day, being allowed wine for dinner and supper, as they would not, or could not, drink beer. PRICE 7D. SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITIONS. (From the Literary Gazette.) By one of those curious coincidences which, in affairs of greater importance, might he con strued into miracle, Captain Parry from his Arctic, and Captain Franklin from his North American expedition, arrived at the Admiralty on Saturday last, withi►► half an hour of each other ! Of the failure of Captain Parry's attempt, brief and 'incorrect accounts have appeared in the newspapers ; but as that genti men left town on the evening of his arrival, with the intention of remaining in the country for some weeks, we have bad no opportunity of acquiring much far ther information. We can only sly, that if he may himself be taken as a specimen of the health of his crew, he looks as well when he set out on his bold undertakin g . The jum of the intelligence which has tran spired is, that the Hecla having arrived at Ha merfest (as stated in the Literary Gazette some time ago) took in the rein-deer meant for drag ging the boats, snow-shoes, and other articles re quisite for the journey over the ice. .Having reached the coast of Spitzbergen, a heavy gale drove the ship among packed ice, where she was entangled for several weeks, to the Gth of June. Here the first effort to proceed in the manner projected was tried -in two boats commanded by Captain Parry and Lieutenant Ross ; but the ice bro* up, and it was speedily relinquished. The Hecla then wrought to the north as far as Seven 'lslands, where fi n di ng no h ar b our , she put back. All along the shore the ice was close packed, the harbours frozen up, and the season more than usually inclement. By the 19th of June, however, having cut through a formidable barrier, to the Wratskel of Van Henloopen, a second attempt to get forward in the ice-boats was strenuously made. Unfortunately the ice was what is called rotten, and (as we originally feared) so irregular as to render success impos sible. Nothing could exceed the fatigues and difficulties of transport : the boats had to be loaded and unloaded many times in the course of a few hours;' and no field-ice was met with, to any extent, over which they might glide on their way. On the contrary, it was • rough in form, hummocky, and dangerous ; and inter sected by channels of water, which ever and anon rendered new arrangements necessary. By con tinued. perseverance, the party at last attained the lat. of 82 deg. and three quarters N., or to between four and five hundred miles of the Pole. Heavy rains prevailed, but a still more formidable anti indeed insurmountable obstacle was soon ascer tained to exist. The ice over which they were travelling so laboriously towards the north, was itself drifting more rapidly to the south than the distances which they could accomplish. Thus, the last three days having been spent in this dis heartening and fruitless toil,--thalf the provisions' being exhausted, some of the men falling sick, and being reported unfit for ex4on,—the scurvy, j threatening them,—and no hope of any 'favour able change remaining—our brave countrymen were compelled to abandon their impracticable design. They accordingly returned to the Hecla, and on the 24th of September put into Long hope, in the Orkneys, without having experienced any loss by death, and with only Mr. Craufurd, the ice -master, much indisposed, on the sick list.* The whole period occupied in these exertions on the ice is stated to have been sixty-one days. [Having thus weeded the reports afloat of their inaccu racies, and given the amount of their substance, which we have ascertained to be more correct, the following particu lars are stated on the authority of the Literary Gazette, and may be relied on as strictly true.] CAPTAIN I'ARRY'S EXPEDITION. The highest latitude to which the Hecla reached was 81 deg. 6 min., which is believed to be the farthest north that ever a ship made her way ; so that all that was made in the boats vas 1 deg. 39 min. Lord Mulgrave got to 80 deg. and some minutes (we do not remember exactly, but think about 20). At the farthest point north, no barrier of ice was seen, as in the case of that noble Lord and elder voyagers ; so that the idea of such a barrier always existing may now be dismissed. The ice found by the pre sent expedition was of a very chaotic form. For about a mile, perhaps, it might be tolerably smooth ; but at every interval huge ridges were crushed up by the action of tides and currents, and presented the most formidable obstacles to the progress of the enterprise. No B°ollWwas one of these rugged and precipitous masses over come, than another'appeared ; and difficulty after difficulty seemed lengthening as the party ad vanced. There was plenty of fresh water on the surface, but towards the.end of the attempt, when the rains fell, the ridges we have described sepa rated, and between them the salt sea flowed in divisions like so many canals. Owing to the condition of the ice over which they had to travel, it was found impossible to make any use of the rein-deer in dragging the boats ; and as there were no means of feeding dogs (as once proposed), the whole work was performed by personal labour. - Officers and men, twenty-eight in number, were alike har nessed to the tackle, and wrought in common at the exhausting toil. Their time for starting in the morning (their morning being the beginning of the night), was chosen when the light was least injurious, to the eyes; for though the. sun shone upon them during the whole period, and there was no darkness, yet when that luminary Nit some cuit was lowest in the' horizon, the reflection f rom th e bright white surface of snow was mo re en d ura bl e. O with powdersetting mixit, served to every p of cocoa,with individual for breakfast, which, ,being finished, the whole number yoked to the boats. About seven hours of constant exertion brought them to the hour of their spare dinner meal ; which consisted of a piece of peniecan,t about the size of an orange, and a few ounces o f bi scu i t-pow de r. These ingredients, scraped into cold water, made a cold soup, and a miserable sustenance for men • Another still more singular coincidence marks the re turn of Captain Parry. In the facetious poem entitle " May Fair," published by Mr. Ainsworth five or Si, months since, in speaking of that gallant officer's undertak ing, and predicting its probable want of success, the folkiy ing prophetic couplet appears : " Quarter-day you'll have him back, With his volume in his pack ;" And lo !on quarter-day, the 29th -of September, did Capt. Parry make his appearance at the Admiralty ! ! Such ; passage would make the fortune of Francis Moore : lit wonder " May Fair " has reached a second edition ! This individual, however, remained with the ship and was in bad health when he left England. . . _ 1 , ; • ". whose strengths were so s ely t ed. -In fact,. they, could not beargip: tnder . tbeifatigue. During their whole march they were soaking wet to the knees, and benumbed by a temperature always at or near the freezing point. At the close of twelve or fourteen hours thus occupied, when they came to seek rest by laying down ; the change of their wet for dry stockings and fur boots caused such a reaction, that the tingling and smart were insufferable, and the comparative comfort was more difficult to be endured than the preceding cold. When Captain Parry found that the men could not support their toils on the allowance, (of about nineteen ounces per twenty-four hours, way of luxury, a pi n t o r h o t water night. a little' of th e dintie,..k° had of pemecan and biscuit-powder), This was found to be v er y i a t n r d na i d f e a broth of grea t re li s h . and Spirits were not drank; 'and th e reas on t b, h ,ae e eltill s e y . stetn saved, why even hot water was scarce, was, that it took so large.a stock of their spirits of wine to boil it and the cocoa, that the quantity consumed could not safely be increased. .The consequences of the haul life we have just faintly pictured were soon obvious. The men became weakened, their limbs swelled, and disease began to thin the number of active workers. Tifere needed no other obstacle to stop their progress ; but observriticw de monstrated that alt theft strenuous efforts were vain. The ice itself was drifting taster to the south than they could make their way over it to the north : thus, during. the 'last three days of their struggle, instead of gaining a higher latitude, they were actually two. miles farther south than when they set out. This put an end to an ex, pedition where every thing which human energy and perseverance could do, was - done so fruit lessly ; but the nature of the- ice, so different from what was 'anticipated, rendered the accom plishmentw i th o e f t o h ns b e j s e .ier c r t et t i l ai t el t a r sy l , y h a om bitt clangers. She had been wrotralat the Hecla was i e n x t e o m a p t snu fr Jew places which afforded this shelter. je-headore, in one of . there was about three miles of ice-; and a heavy gale coming. on, detached this prodigious mass, and drove it 'wit"; terrible violence against the still). The cables were cut. asunder, the anchors lost, and the poor Hecla forced high and dry upon the coast, by the irresistible pressure. To get her again to the water occupied a considerable time, which was, of course, lost to the surveying party. Having effected that, however, they pro ceeded to Weygat Straits; and considering the short period they had to employ, made, we are informed, many valuable observations. • A publication containing the account of these, and the details of Captain Parry's adventure, will, we believe; very speedily appear ; and as the facts are few, we presume it will be of a moderate size. • We do not hear of any intercourse with natives. Seventy deer were shot by the hunters. It is vexatious to belorced to the conviction that any attempt to reach the North Pole is but too likely to end in disappointment ; but every fresh enterprise seems to lead to this conclusion. In our opinion, the southern hemisphere presents a far more tempting field for speculation ; and. most heartily do we wish that an expedition were fitted out for that ivarter. The sea is much more open (as Captain Weddell observed, in his interesting voyage), - and•riery object of com inerce, as well as of-seienee, might be sought to wards the SOuth Pols with prospects fat superior to any that are offered in the impenetrable North. Hudson, whose -- name is perpitUated in the bay, reached lat. 82 (as is laid down) in the year 1606 ; and a Scottish 'journal- states, that the Neptune whaler, in 1816, got as high as 8. deg. 20 min. ; but of the accuracy of this fact we have great doubts. THE LAND ARCTIC EXPEDITION. About the end of June, 1826, Captain Frank lin arrived at the last of the Hudson Bay Com pany's posts, named Fort Good Hope, in le. 67 deg. 28 min. N., long. 130 deg. 53, min. W. ; the expedition under his command in excellent health and spirits ; and, so far as depended on personal exertion, the equipment of their boats, and the supply of stores and provisions, the most sanguine hope of success were entertained. 0 f Three Jtil days' journey July, he despatched from a h party r t ty e thence, on t t , h e the 4th i eastward, under the command of Dr. Richardson, and pro ceeded himself, in command of another party, by the western channel of Mackenzie's river, which flows at the foot of the Rocky Mountains, and completed a survey of the Coast from long. 113 deg. W. to 149 deg. 98 min.. W. Captain dflaoft as s th to e Franklin was accompanied by. Captain Back, who had been his companion on the . former expedi tion. He was much impeded in his progress by die constant obstruction of ice, unbroken from of fogs—and by the nature the shore, in many parts, until the 4th August l t y h el. loss westward a 1 of a few yards be unapproachable, even in boats, nearer than two or three miles.

On every other occasion they had to land on the naked reefs which front the coast, and on which it often happened no fresh- water was to be obtained, and but little wood.
