R 34 36xd, 14d 15 A P FURTHER ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF COAL.—This morning, in consequence of the extreme scarcity of coals at the various wharfs, the retail coal-dealers of the me tropolis and suburbs generally, increased their prices ld. and 2d. per cwt.—viz., those which were selling at 2s. 2d., 2s. 4d., and 2s. Gd. per cwt., are now respectively 2s. 3d., 2s. Gd., and 2s. 7d. per cwt. ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.—This morning the bakers of the metropolis made & simultaneous ad vance in the price of bread, the 41b. loaf which was sell ing at 9d., 91d., and 10d., cannot now be obtained for less than Old., 10d., and 11d, respectively ; household or country bread is advanced a penny, viz., from Bd. to 91d. ; the League bakery bread is at 10d. the 41b. loaf, and the best or full priced is from le. to ls. Old. The reason assigned for this increase in price is, that flour which could be had last week at 708., will at this day's market be fully 75s ? 25 100 100 20 50 50 100 100 20 50 20 25 THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

The extraordinary forbearance and ad mirable conduct of Commander Maguire in his treatment of the natives whom he encountered on the coast will be appreciated by the public, and, we hope, appropriately rewarded by the Admiralty : In accordance with my last communication I proceeded to sea from Port Clarence on the morning of the •21st of August, and, with a favourable breeze, passed through Behring's Straits by the eastern passage on the following day at noon. A succession of contrary winds delayed our progress to the N.E. to a much greater extent than was considered favourable, to insure our complete success of rounding Point Barrow at that advanced period of the season. In our passage to the northward,we passed several whale ships cruising in squadrons, a caution they seem to have prudently adopted for the benefit of affording mutual as sistance in the event of disaster. Their success up to that time seemed to be indifferent, and we have been since in formed by natives from Point Hope, that whales have be come very scarce on the coast pinta the ships have come in pursuit of them. The last whaleship (French) seen by us was on the morning of the 25th of August, in latitude 69° 30' N., longitude 167° 43' W., carrying all sail to the south ward. We soon afterwards made the ice in heavy floes, and tanked in shore to ascertain its distance from the land, when we found the contrary winds had done us good ser vice by opening a free passage of from 10 to 15 miles, in which we beat to the N.E., making but slow progress until the night of the 2d of September, when a " slant " from the southward, with a fast falling barometer, warned us that a change of weather was at hand. Our distance from Point Bartow, now reduced to 50 miles, I thought we could accomplish before tho ice set in shore, and therefore pushed forward under all sail, and rounded it at the dis tance of one mile on the following day at noon, Septem ber 3. The approach to the channel leading between the sandy islets that form the protection we were about to seek for the winter in Elson's Bay was found, contrary to our expectations, shoal and intricate, 'making it necessary to anchor the ship and sound out the passage, if it was found not to afford sufficient water, of which there was a doubt. Our position was not one to lose time in, shut out, and close down on an exposed shore, with a gale coming on that would soon have loaded it with ice. Having ascer tained, as expeditiously as possible, that there was about nine inches to spare across a shoal before we got to deep water, the anchor was weighed, and, after making a few tacks, the narrowness of the channel and the ship taking the ground twice made it advisable to anchor and kedge under shelter of the spit. A fortunate turn in the cur rent enabled us to effect this, as by the time the warps had been run out the gale had increased so much as to render it unsafe to trip the anchor. However, finding a strong weather current setting, it was weighed, and the ship warped into a wild-looking anchorage for protection in a gale of wind—no land being visible except the low sand spit of Point Barrowand the islet adjoining ; not more than five feet above the level of the sea, which broke over them with great violence during the height of the gale. These are again guarded by the sh oa l s lyi ng off, on which the drift i ce grounds, making the anchorage when gained secure, but difficult of access or egress. Daylight next morning showed us how fortunate we had been in getting shelter; the gale now veered to west was unabated—the sea broke heavily over the shoals passed yesterday, and against the sand spits to within a short distance of the ship, while the offing lwas encumbered with heavy ice, becoming gradually closer with the gale. As we found a strong current setting to windward, I had no doubt of the ship holding on, although the confined space of the anchorage did not admit veering more than 30 fathoms of cable. In the afternoon the gale began to moderate, and on the following day the ship was moved to a more secure berth, near the position selected for winter quarters, where we remained until the ice set fast, on the 24th of September. A succession of strong gales and thick weather for the following week retarded our preparations, consisting chiefly in collecting driftwood, not found here in a abundance. From this material the plank for housing in was sawed, and the remains stacked for the winter fixing. Advantage was also taken of every opportunity to send a boat to sound the channel, knowing the difficulty of the task after the ice had formed, and on its breaking up we should be too anxious to move with it, to have time for that purpose. On the 25th pancake ice began to form in the bay and drift out rapidly with the current. A party was sent to haul the launch up on the adjacent islet, to be out of reach - of the natives. This service was performed by Mr. G. T. Gordon, mate, who, when returning in the gig, with a fresh and favourable wind, was unable to push his way through the young ice, and was carried in it through the passage into the offing. In this distressing dilemma a second boat was lowered, in which Lieutenant Vernon promptly volunteered his services, and by running out 700 fathoms of whale line the gig was reached, now carried some distance off the land. By this means they were en abled to.reach the spit, although they had another narrow escape from being carried out by the line parting when they were close to it; fortunately, one of the men sufficiently quick to leave the end among a crowd of Esqui maux, drawn to the spot by witnessing the state of our boats, and they hauled them u p, w h ere th ey h a d t o remain for the night, the ice being now to strong to allow us to haul the boats through it, and not sufficiently firm for the people to walk on board. During the night tho ice moved but once, a short distance, then set fast, and in the morn ing we had the satisfaction of receiving our boat's crews on board, after experiencing a degree of anxiety for their safety that is not easily described. The following days were occupied in sawing a canal to wards our winter position, which was much delayed by un expected movements in the ice undoing our work when nearly completed; and on the 30th, at 10 p.m., we were trachea up it by about 70 natives, men, women and children, whose shouts and exclamations of surprise gave animation to the whole scene and made it one of deep interest. Our time was now busily occupied in making the usual preparations for passing a winter in this rigorous climate, which we had thus early observed symptoms of. A tem porary house was erected close to the ship to receive our deck-load of provisions, to enable us to have them clear, for the crew to take exercise when the state of the weather would not admit of their leaving the ship and an observa tory for the reception of the magnetical instruments was constructed from ice alone, which answered the purpose perfectly for S months. These arrangements were completed by the 20th of October, when the necessary winter routine was esta blished for an economical expenditure of fuel and provi sions, with due attention to order, cleanliness, occupation, and amusement, to lighten as m uc h as possible a time con fessed by all as being depressing and monotonous. Many valuable hints on the subject were gained from the works of Captain Parry, in following whose example I considered we could not err. Taking advantage of his experience, the masts and yards were kept in their proper places, affording a better mark for seeking the ship from a dis tance, bearing. in mind our being here in expectation of parties falling back upon us for safety, and as the land is very low, and in winter it may be said not visible, the ship . made a fine object, being discernible, in clear wea ther, at the distance of nine miles from every direction. Deeming it a matter of importance that the Plover's position at Point Barrow should be known as far as to the eastward as possible, and also wishing to ascertain whether Dease's Inlet would afford shelter for any vessel that might at any future time be desirous of wintering there, I took the earliest opportunity of making a boat excursion to perform this service, and left the ship on the morning of the 21st of September, in the gig, accompanied Mr. T. A. Hull, second master. Steering off the land into five fathoms, we passed a good deal of sailing ice, and proceeded East-North-East, over an even bottom of from five to six fathoms, with the wind frcm the S.E. Changing our course to the southward, we got entangled among a series of sand spits, when taking to our oars we steered along the outside of the largest island of the group, which we then supposed to be connected with the mainland about Point Christie but was afterwards found to be one of the very low chain of sandy islets running along this coast. As I suspected this was taking us to the east ward of the inlet, I landed to ascend the highest part to see how much further it extended, and found a second island running in the same direction. The water being too shoal for hauling the boat up here, we stood out into deeper water, and at length succeeded in hauling the boat up for the night on the second island. During the night a strong breeze sprang up from the N.W., with a temperature of 30 deg. Knowing we, had run our distance for Dease's Inlet, I was not a little puzzled to know where we were, as I could scarcely fancy it was possible to lay down this coast with out noticing these islands. On the following morning, our observations being com plete and the boat loaded, and, now concluding that'Dease's Inlet must be looked for to the southward, and first erecting a conspicuous mark, on this place, of the Plover's winter position, we steered for a point just visible S.W. (true). This proved to be Point Christie, where we landed in time to got the latitude at noon. Its highest part does not exceed 10 feet above the level of the sea, and here we erected another large mark. The season now seemed to be so far advanced that I was in doubt between crossing the inlet and returning to the ship, but, as I considered my object would not be carried out without placing notices on Point Tangent, I deter mined to cross it, and started with a fine leading wind from the northward. In two hours we reached the eastern shore, which is even more shoal than the West ern, the water about Point Tangent being so shallow that our boat could not be got within a cable's length of the beach. Having now found that the greatest depth of water to be Dease's Inlet was 11 obtained by sounding directly r feet only, with its shores extrei a n c e e e l o y ss i shoal, I considered the 1 ( find winter quarters question settled that no vessel proper notices, started on our there, and, after leaving the c is observed, on our return, return to the ship.

Twelve hours after our return, it was reported to me that the ice was drifting past the ship. A further examination of Dease's Inlet was afterwards made by Mr. T. A. Hull, second master, in the month of May' i n co ntinuation of a survey o f thi s coast from Point Barrow eastward. The southern shores of this inlet, which had hitherto been left blank on the charts were now traced. It was found to extend in a S.W. direction for a distance of 20 miles, its breadth at the mouth being eight miles, and ter minating in a shoal bay. The S.E. shore is much higher than the rest, one cliff there being DA high 24 feet. Foul. inconsiderable rivers empty themselves here, two on the eastern and two on the western shore. The chain of islands which, commencing at the Plover's winter quarters closely abut on Point Tangent - the west ern part of which was discovered by Captain Moore, and denominated by him Plover's Group—has been found to be 10 in number (on but two or three of the largest of which is there the slightest sign of vegetation), running in a line almost p ara ll e l with that of the coast, or E.S-E., and W.N.W. (true), from Point Barrow to Point Targent, where they terminate, the only channel between them of sufficient depth for a ship being the one by which the Plover entered. From the time of our arrival at winter quarters, situated two miles E.S.E. (true) from the Esquimaux settlement on Point Barrow, coiled by them Noo-wook, we found this people, contrary to our preconceived opinion, very trouble some and unfriendly. To such an extent did this feeling exhibit itself, that it would have been prudent to remove from their vicinity, particularly as we had received more than once unmistakeable hints to that effect, had circum stances admitted it ; but, as we occupied the only spot of deep water to be found on this part of the coast, it became necessary to put up with the evil, hoping that time and a better knowledge of our character would improve their 41, , 4 xd i conduct, and I had no doubt our ,wintering among them would, eventually be attended with beneficial results. The I commencement of our intercourse was attended with many unpleasant circumstances No single boat's crow could be at any distance from the ship without being pilfered from in the most daring and barefaced way, and upon e very trivial, and often without any occasion, their knives were drawn upon our men, who, although armed with muskets, had strict orders in no case to make even a show of them, nulesfr obliged by necessity, as I thought recourse to that force was to bo avoided, when a good feeling in favour of any of our missing countrymen who may at any future period be in their power was the object sought. Carrying out these views to the extent of not showing our arms was not appreciated, as they mistook forbearance for timidity, purpose s t e o t o h f e village,shoetin gtoscularryn t h h ir e c i i r s, g t u h n e s s n h o o m w in o a f l t l e and, at the requ es t of two officers going with a watering was y them found to have so good an effect that it was adopted on all future occasions, although we were obliged to cease send ing for water after a few turns, there being always some unpleasant display on their part that was best avoided when possible. While occurrences such as I have mentioned were taking place daily with our parties away from the ship, the diffi culty of dealing with thos e co ll ec t e d a b out her was suffi cient to employ all the people left on board, exclusive of the pressing duties of the ship, with a small crew at this season. About the 15th of September they appeared to be re turning to their winter huts, from their usual summer's excursion along the coast to the eastward, and, as the ship lay in their direct track, we had a visit from all of them, including also the Cape Smyth tribe, being the two most numerous in any part of the coast, numbering together about 500. As many as seven or eight large "U-mi-aks" arrived daily for eight or nine days, containing their sum mer tents, families, clogs and sledges, &c. They appeared perfect strangers, and looked in amazement at us and the ship. They brought with them, a small quantity of fish and venison ; with the latter they parted reluctantly, and seemed to prefer begging and stealing (in which they were most unscrupulous) to any kind of exchange. On the morning of the 17th I was informed that a large U-mi-ak had come alongside, and the crew had forced their way on board. As this was not an uncommon case I thought nothing of it, when I found that Lieutenant Vernon was attending on deck. He soon came down to inform me that the chief of the party had a musket, and was very anxious to get gunpowder in exchange for veni son. This piece of information • I considered the worst I had received among many unpleasant circumstances that I had experienced, feeling that we could not remain among them if they had firearms. It will be proper to state here that we have, at a vim, late period of our stay, identified this chief as the same who followed and annoyed Commander Pullen at Point Berens in 1849, full particulars of which are given in his journal As he expressed a wish to see me, I went up and found a large, powerful, elderly man, with a peculiarly bad ex pression of the countenance. He had a Hudson's Bay musket, with the name of Barnett on the lock ; it was a good deal worn, but fit for service. He had a powder horn hanging hunter-fashion under his left arm, but pretended to have neither ball nor shot, for which he was most press ing, and would not dispose of anything except for ammu nition. This, as a matter of course, he was not supplied with. I saluted him with much friendship, made his wife a present, and took him down to nay cabin, where I made him a present of tobacco and satisfied his curiosity about the ship below. Then I took him on deck with the idea that he would go away; but nothing seemed further from his thoughts, as he remained about the decks and slipped down the hatchways on to the lower deck several times— a part of the ship they have not had access to during any period of our stay. During the forenoon several "U-rni aks" arrived alongside the ship, discharging their crews in swarms on our deck, so as literally to crowd it for the day. They were allowed every freedom consistent with their known propensity for stealing ; but some bolder than others were difficult to deal with. One man attempted to force back the after-ladder doors, and my stopping him brought about a slight scuffle between us. That did not seem to have satisfied him, as he soon afterwards came in contact with the quartermaster of the watch, a quiet but rather short-tempered powerful young man, who, before any • - body could interfere, gave him a lesson he will not soon forget ; he dealt him fair English blows. about the head, each of them sufficient to stun any one except an Esqui maux ; but he received them until they had the effect of quite taming him, when he was put over the side in the presence of at least 60 of his countrymen, few of whom offered to interfere, and the remainder looked on with in difference. About noon, when, at my particular desire three parts of the crowd went away, the remainder were evidently detained by the old chief, whom there was no moving out of the ship without having recourse to force, and this I had no intention of, preferring to wait until he got tired of his visit, and this seemed unlikely for the pre sent, as he hailed three 11-mi-aks, full of people, to come alongside. I heard the word " tewac" (tobacco) used very often, I supposed as the inducement, and the children, I observed, had been sent away. It occurred to me they might have thoughts of pillaging the ship, their numbers to ours seeming so overpowering. In order to be prepared for anything of the kind the men stationed on deck were sent down, one at a time, to arm themselves with pis tols, to be kept out of sight in their breasts, in the event of a simultaneous attack being made with their knives, all being provided with good ones, and adepts in their use. When the men were all armed I was satisfied to wait the result. A silence seemed to prevail, as if they had not de cided what to do, and, whether they had or not meditated any mischief beyond stealing as much as they could, they attempted nothing, and went away as night came on, leav ing the old chief with his own boat only. He had conti nued to range about the ship in the most insolent way, and I think it reasonable to suppose it was only the fear of of our firearms that kept him from mischief. When left by himself, I was cautious not to urge his going away, as I had done when th ere were 70 people with him, t, letting him choose his own time, he remained until 7 p.m. —a visit of 12 hours. When he was gone I was so thoroughly tired and provoked, and knowing that every person in the ship must be suffering in the same way, it became necessary to adopt a different system, the number of small articles stolen during the day, notwithstanding all our vigilance, affording sufficient pretext for the change. All work was stopped the next day, and an efficient arrangement made to allow only one boat's crew on board at a time, and, whatever dissatisfaction it might give it was necessary to adopt it. IV seems necessary to mention here the difficulty of keeping a numerous tribe of nativeseut of a vessel like the Plover, as the ice chocks make a convenient landing place on the outside not more than four feet from the water, running the whole length on both sides, where they mount in all directions, and in some cases, when prevented, they cut at our men's legs with their knives, and in one or two instances cut through bore-cloth trousers. While the knives of some were engaged in this way, those of others were busily employed cutting the lead scupper pipes out of the side. The nails of the copper were proof against them, but no part of the side escaped their attempts. From this cause it became necessary to cover all the parts assailable outside with a sheathing of wood, and after the ship was frozen in which she enclosed round with a chain, riven through posts fixed in the ice, at the distance of seven yards from the side. This arrangement, although very unpopular, was found most beneficial. The day succeeding the one last described the chief was observed sitting on the spot close to the ship, and I was told had hailed the ship, as if he wished to be sent for. This I thought too good a joke. He was soon after wards picked up by his own boat, and came alongside, but, to his surprise, was not allowed on board, as so many things had been stolen the previous day. During the time he was standing on the . gangway, the crew happen e d to be cleaning, discharging, and reloading their arms and ex amining the two carronades, at which he seemed to stare a good deal and went away. Several U-mi-aks arrived alongside, as usual, during the day, but none of the crews were allowed on board. Soon bartering was carried on and a few presents made to them, but they seemed to prefer adding to their stock by stealing to any exchange. / The following morning we had another early visit from the chief, accompanied by some other leading men. They brought as a peace offering allithe articles stolen from the ship for several days. This I considered very satisfactory, and permitted them to come on board. They remained the whole day, but their conduct was altered very much for the better, particularly the old chief, who was now content to remain on the quarter deck, to which they were restricted. I think the display of our cleaning arms before the chief on the day previous led him to imagine we were intent on doing them mischief, and seemed to account for this sudden change in their manner. The system of keeping them out of the ship, except with permission, and then to a very limited number only, being once commenced, it was continued throughout our stay, and, although it was very difficult to make them under stand the necessity for it, which made it disliked, and was the cause of some ill feeling towards us, it was impossible, through their numbers and want of honesty, to adopt any other course. At first we endeavoured to explain to them that wo wished all to come on board in turn, but, so far from entering into this view, those who were admitted and remained the whole day would invariably be the first alongside alongside on the following morning, and be themost cla morous and least satisfied of those not admitted. These disappointments, at not being a llowed on board, were retaliated in one orparties two instances by landing and alv rr 'ng away our driftwood, collected in a stack on th 3 spit c near the ship. This was found too laborious a revenge for them, and fire was tried, but a boat being sent, they pretended it was an accident, and did not repeat it. On the occasion of our cutting into winter quarters, our men being of necessity much spread about on the ice, and frequently surrounded by three times their number of natives, much caution was nec?ssary to prevent the tools from being stolen, and many slight squabbles took place between our men• and theirs in consequence of their playing them tricks and trying to trip them up. On these occasions they always selected those of our people who, from their appearance, were least likely to resent their jokes, and in some instances they found they had mistaken their men. Points of this sort were the most difficult for a command ing officer to deal with, as it was not possible for him to prevent the provocation, and when not resented the mo tives were misunderstood. A more serious affair took place on board the ship. The officer in charge, Mr. Hull, second master, in keeping back a large powerful man who attempted to force his way over the side, had a knife drawn on him by a friend of the others on board the ship, who immediately called out for the women and children to retire. Mr. Simpson, the sur geon, was, standing near, and very soon produced before the man with the knife one of Coles revolving pistols, and explained to him the use of its six charges, which had the effect of keeping them very quiet for the remainder of the day. I met the women and children retreating over the ice ahead of the ship, and thought something must have happened, although they told me they were going home to dinner. A chief, arriving at the same time, reassured the retreating party, when we explained to them that if they used knives we must use guns, but otherwise we wished to be good friends. Similar squabbles took place fre quently. While our men were employed building the storehouse, knives were drawn as usual, and in two in stances the women and children were sent away. This was a cause of a good deal of anxiety with me, as our men, be ing unarmed, were very much at their mercy under such circumstances, and, in the event of arming them, more forbearance was necessary than some of them would have been found to possess, from the frequent provocations they had received in return for the usual kindness and good nature that characterise seamen. On giving the subject every consideration, and seeing 'that it must excite an unpleasant feeling for cur men to have k nives p oi nted at them without a means of defence being at hand, the quartermaster of the watch, and two petty officers of the party working on shore, were armed with pistols, but properly cautioned not to produce them unless under cir cumstances of necessity, as I hoped the mere knowledge of their having them would be sufficient. Of this w e soon had an instance. One of them played off one of thei r usua l bac back practicalof the h j e ok k e n s e e e n s o u n il e e o n f c o a u r r ry ean, by kicking hi m i n th e a spar, for which ho was rewarded with a blow on the face.
