PUDDICK, in returning his sincere thanks to the numerous friends who have continued to patronise him durint the alterations, in consequence of the late fire, begs to inform them and the Public generally, that the Upper Cotten Rooms are now RE OPE NIRO FOR IIIUtIINESS, where every attentibn will be paid to their accommodation and comfort. sible to put any other than a low value upon a winter survey in the Polar regions. Thug . is exemplified in the journey which. Sir James Clark Rosi Made across the isthmus of Boothia, when he not only traced a largo portion of land under an impression that he was travelling along the conti nent of America, which, after several years, was found by a summer survey to have been au island, but he actually passed by the estuary of the Great Fish River, altogether unaware of the existence of that magnificent stream. Poctes_Bay was the name given by Sir James Clsrke Ross to the estuary into which the Great Fish River has since been found to empty ' 1n - trader—the natural consequence of discovery in ships) tile searching parties at the end of the summer—with the ctose of which every soul of the lost Expedition will have pe rished, may therefore- find they have been coasting an island many miles distant from the western land of North Somerset, or navigating a deep bay, as 'Kotzebue navigated the sound named after him. . as l !far from certain, to mention that Sir J. Ross found Barrow Sprait•closed in the summer of 1832. To a land journey, then, alone, we can look for suc,:ess ; for the failure of a laid journey would be the exception to the rule, while the failure of a sea expedition would be the rule itself. To the western laud of North Somerset, where Sir J. Franklin is likely to be found, the Great Fish River is the direct and oily route; and, although the approach to it is through a country too poor and too difficult of access to admit of the qansport of provisions, it may be made the medium of com rrinnication between the lost expedition and the civilised world, apd guides be thus placed at their disposal to convey them to tto hunting grounds 'of the Indians. Without such guides i is impossible they can reach these hunting grounds. It The fruitlessness of Sir John Franklin's attempt ought not entirely to discredit the service in which he has been engaged, bat rather to awaken us to the grievous error committed in the instructions which he received, and upon which it is im possible to look back without the most painful feelings. The gallant officer was, in fact, instructed to lead a forlorn hope." The discovery of the North-west Passage is the cer tain result of so overwhelming a catastrophe. In the absence of authentic information of the fate of the gallant baud of adventurers, the terra incognita of the North Coast of North America will not only be traced, but minutely surveyed, and the solution of the problem of centuries will. engne the-marked attention of the House of Commons and the Legislative Assemblies in other parts of the world. The • problem is .very safe in their hands ; so safe, indeed, that I lenture to assert five - years will not elapse before it is solved. I may be allowed to state, in urging my claims to conduct 4n expedition down the Great Fish River, when ever such a service is determined by their Lordships, that, iu addition to my intimate knOwledge of that stream, I persisted, almost single-handed, for several years prior to the discovery, in maintaining the existence of three most important features of the Northern Coast of North America—the Peninsula, of North Somerset,---the Great Bay of Simpson—and Cape Bri tannia, all of which aro now established geographical facts.

The plan which I have proposed to your Lordship is to reach the Polar Sea across the continent of America, and thus to•proceed from land known to be continent, where every footstepis.sure. If that plan be laid aside, the lives of our lost countrymen will depend upon a single throw in the face of almost certain failure:--if the difficulty in which the lost Ex pedition'is involved is the same which (not to go further back than 1818) has driven away every officer, including even Parry himself, who has made the attempt. Further, if 'that plan should ultimately prove to have been the right one, it will be' a source of regret that your Lordship will feel most intensely. It is impossible Lord Stanley' can help regretting he did not: set in motion the service I proposed to him in conjunction with that of Sir John' Franklin—altkough in that case it was -simply a question of science, and the awful calamity, which 'has in all probability befallen the lost expedition, was merely suppositiOn on my part. How much greater, then, will be the regret of your Lordship if, at the expiration of two years, 'it shalt be proved that my supposition, regarding the relief to Sir John Franklin—which is a question, not of science, but of ,life and death on a great scale--was equilly *ell founded? To suin'up in a few words;—The Board of Adniiralty, by their " effort," virtually declare that the lost expedition can ' not be relieved unless the " Passage" be discovered ; we must first discover the " Passage," and then seek out the lost expe dition. To this declaration, my Lord, I cannot assent; for by following out my plan I can search all that is known of the western laud of North Somerset—and be sure that every inch of discovery beyond it is so much good work for the safety of the lost expedition, and for the furtherance of geographical and natural historical knowledge. In addition, I can trace Victoria Land North with the same results—and yet not dis cover the North-west Passage, nor incur the risk of any ex traordinary difficulty; while Sir James Clarke Ross, before he gets a single footing on either of these lands, must have solved the problem which has baffled all our ingenuity in ships for a period of three and a half centuries. I trust, therefore, your Lordship will give full consideration to my offer of service in search of the lost expedition. It is a service in which I can act independently of Sir James Clarke Ross, and independently of Sir John Richardson ; and Sir James Clarke Ross and Sir John Richardson; it is already arranged, are to act independently of each other. Sir James Clarke Ross's knowledge of Barrow Strait—Sir John Richardson's knowledge of the Mackenzie and the Coppermine Rivers—and my knowledge of the Great Fish River and its estuary, will be so many guarantees that the work to be done will be done well ; and this • state of inde pendence will insure a large amount of " effort," even'though it were merely in a spirit of emulation. Your Lordship (as Lord Howiek) gave the expedition in search of Sir John Ross your valuable assistance, and if (as Earl Grey)l you will but give the same encouraging assistance to the "effort" insearch of Sir John Franklin, and fill up the blank which the! Board of Admiralty have left, the country will have reason to' be satisfied that all that could be done was done for tho safety! of the 136 gallant men, who nobly volunteered their services in spite of the danger and difficulties they were certain to, meet with—merely because they were asked to do so.—li have, Sze.

THE LIFE of NICHOLAS 1., EMPEROR of RUS , ;IA: With a short account of RUSSIA. and the RUSSIANS. By F. MAYNE. Dr. Rae has, however, furnished us with some interesting matter for discussion. For instance, there is the evidence of the 'outlet of the Fish River into Regent Inlet— for which I have so long contended; and the fact that the failure of his enterprise is whelp attributable to au accumulation of ice upon an eastern land gives additional weight to the law which I have established, that all arctic lands that have an eastern aspect are ice-clogged. The journey which I proposed to Lord Glenelg in 1835, afterwards to Lord Stanley, and which I now, at the expiration of 12 years, pro pose to your Lordship--is along a' land which has a western aspect, and which I have shown is almost invariably ice-free. My progress, therefore, to the spot where I suppose the lost expedition will - be found will be unimpeded ; and not only will the question as to the peninsularity of North Somerset be set at rest, but that which remains undone of the northern configuration of America will be completed,—for it is by hugging the westera land of North Somerset only that we can expect to fall upon the traces of the lost c t xpedition, if wo are to look for it in that direction.

If you had offered 1,0001. for an expedition down the Great Fish River, and another 1,000/. for an expedition down the. Coppermine River, a large portion of the coast line might have been searched in the summer of 1849, a year in advance of Sir John Richardson's Expedition ; and if not altogether in advance of Sir James Clarke Ross's Expedition, at all events about the same time the gallant officer will be en route —for as a searching party be leads a " forlorn hope." And if such an offer had been made a month only ago, the whole coast line from the Coppermine River to the western land of North Somerset might have been searched by the close of this sum mer (1848).—I have the honour to be,l‘c., THE .

The " effort "by Gehring Strait and Banks' Land is praiseworthy in attempt but forlorn in hope. In the former "effort" it is assumed that Sir J. Franklin has made the " Passage," and that his arrest is between the Mackenzie River and Icy Cape ; in the latter, ;that Sir J. Ross will reach Banks Land and trace its con tinuity to Victoria and Wollaston Land, and thus make the " Passage." First, we have no reason to believe Sir J. Frank : lin and Sir J. Ross will be more fortunate than their prede cessors, and we cannot trust to their success. Secondly, we are unable to assume that Sir J. Ross will roach Banks Land ; Sir E. Parry was unable to reach it, and only viewed it from a distance ; much less are we able to assume that the gallant officer will find a high road to Victoria Land which is altogether a terra incognita. • fIOSMORAMA OF ST.

ICING- WITII THE COLONIAL AND ADMIRALTY BOARDS. (Continued front our edition of yesferday.) TO THE RIGHT HON. EAR?. GRIT. 17, Savile-row, 25th November, 1847. The last ray of hope has passed when Sir John Franklin by his own exertions can save himself and his one hundred and thirty-six followers from the deati( of starvatio I trust, therefore, your Lordship will excuse my calling rim' attention to my letter of the 10th of June last, which is acknowledged, but remains unanswered. I should not have intrude& myself again on your Lor 'ship's notice were I able to believe that your Lordship is fully sensible of the heavy responsibility which the calamity has placed upon you. The Admiralty may send assistance by the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans— they may set in motion every mariner who has assisted in ploughing the northern seas—yet it will not relieve you from responsibility as the principal Secretary of State for the Colonies; The ser vice which I have proposed, as a matter of precedent, should emanate from the Colonial Board. It was froin that Board that assistance was despatched in - search of Sir John Ross ; and from that Board the polar land journeys, so fruitful in result, were one and all set on foot. ' I have already called your lordship's attention to the evi dence which Sir Edward Parry, on his retirement from active service, has laid before the Admiralty, in confirmation of his opinion that the most serious consequences to his crew would be the result of passing a third winter in the Polar regions— and a third winter, it is now too evident, the lost expedition must pass- in the inclement North. In order, however, to save our felloW-creatures from all the horrors of starvation and its awful consequences, I have offered to your lordship to un dertake the boldest journey which has ever been proposed — and one which is justifiable only from the circumstances. I have offered to attempt to reach the western land of North Somerset before the close of the summer of 18481--to accom plish, in fact, in one summer that which has never been ac complished under two summers :—by which means I incur the risk of having to winter with the Esquireaux, or of making the journey along the barren ground to winter quarters on snow shoes. How, your lordship may inquire, is this Herculean task to be performed? Upon what grounds do I rest my hope of success ? I would state, in answer, thatit is neces sary the leader of such a journey should have au intimate knowledge of the country and the people through which he has to pass—the health to stated the rigour of the climate, and thd strength to undergo the fatigue of mind" and body to which he will be subjected. It is because I have these requi sites, which I conscientiously believe are not to be found in another, that I hope to effect my purpose. The uncivilised man—and upon the service under consideration we must have large dealings with him—in choosing his subject looks for physical, not mental, qualifications ; and if these are not apparent, he is cautions and undecida ; and the more you hurry him, the less certain you are of making him. answer your. purpose. Thus _the most im portant element in Polar travelling, will iu this way be lost to the stranger in the land,; and - the journey rendered unavailing'; while my great activity, power of en durance, and success as a physician, during my journey in %search of Sir John Ross, must be fresh in the recollection of nine tenths of the Indian population through which such a mission as I have proposed will have to pass—and cannot fail to secure tome every , co-operation. It is a well ascertained fact that the mediCal traveller succeeds where all others fail. If your Lordship will take a glance at the map of North America, and direct your attention to but three - places : Behring Strait on the Pacific, Barrow Strait ou the Atlantic, and the land Of .North Somerset between them, you will perceive that to render assistance to a party situated on that land there are two ways by sea and one by land. Of . the two sea ways, the route by the Pacific is altogether out of the question. It is an idea of by-gone days; while that by the Atlantic is so doubtful of success that it is merely neces - sary, in order to put this assistance aside as far from certain, to mention that Sir John Ross found Barrow Strait closed in the summer of 1832; and as the Strait has been visited only six times, it may bo far from an unusual circumstance. To a land journey, then, alone ?" . eve can look for succees; for the failure of a land journey would be the exception to the rule, while the failure of a sea expedition would be the rule itself. To the western land of North Somerset, where, I maintain, - Sir John Franklin will be found, the Great Fish River is the direct and only route ; and although the approach to it is through a country too poor and too difficult of access to admit of the transport of provision, it may be made the medium of communication between the lost expedition and the civilised world; and Indian guides be thus. placed at their disposal to convey them to the hunting grounds of the Red Men. Without such guides it is impossible that they can reach these hunting grounds. It was by that intri cate and dangerous river that I reached the Polar Sea while acting as second officer in search of Sir John Ross ; and as there were but two officers on that honourable service, your lordship can but look on those officers for the elements of success, if a mission by that river is resolved' upon. All that I can do, as one of those officers so peculiarly circumstanced, is to place my views on record as an earnest of my sincerity. Even if the Admiralty should determine to try to force pro vision-vessels through Behring and Barrow Straits, and scour the vicinity in boats for the lost expedition,and try they must, and succeed, it will he satisfactory to know that suoh a mission as I have proposed was adopted ; while if they should fail in their attempbi—and I am sorry to say that I fully bailey's they will fail—and the ser vice under consideration is put aside, it will be a source of regret that not only the nation at largo will feel, but the whole civilised world. When this regret is felt, and every soul has perished, such a mission as I have proposed will be urged again and again for adoption ; for it is impoisible that the country will rest satisfied until a search be made for the remains of the lost expedition by a person in whom the coun try has confidence. No inexperienced person can go upon such an errand. The efforts of the Danish Government for the lost colonies of Greenland, the efforts of the Portuguese Government for the brothers Coteroal, and the efforts of the French Government for the unfortunate La Perouse, cannot fail to raise our national pride when placed in similar eircum- stances. It has been stated in the periodical literature of the day that a party of sappers and miners 'sailed last June in charge of provisions destined for the Mackenzie River, as supplies for the lost expedition ; and that Sir John Richardson is to leave . _ England in February next to head this party: I hope this may be mere report. Such an expedition would be one of relief from a difficulty which,' to be successful, anticipa.tes the difficulty to be overcome ; for if the lost expedition can reach the Mackenzie River, or even - the Great Bear Lake by the Coppermino River; to benefit by these supplies, they have solved the problem of more than three centuries—they have :discovered the. North-west Passage : a dream we can scarcely expect to be realised. The recent survey of Dr. Rae is satisfactory only so far as it confirms the Esquimaux chart furnished to Sir John Ross ; and as it supports my views, that the western shore of the Great Fish River estuary 'is continuous with the western land of North Someriet—or, to use my own words of 1836, " that from Cape Hay the land trends N.N.E., when it dips the horizon, where a small space intervenes—in all probability a deep bay—to a laud gradually rising into boldness, following a north=westerly course, the extremes of which are named Points Ross and Booth."* If the survey of Dr. Rae could be depended up, On the view I have taken is the correct one, but at pre_ sent' it is valueless in a geographical point of view. The pc.' uinsularity of North Somerset is still a problem ; for it far from evident that Dr. Rae reached Lord Mayor Bay of Sir John Ross. He not only neglected to search for the wreck of the Victory steam-ship or some token of Sir John Ross's footing, but he commenced his journey without providing. himself with the means to correct his longitude, —which ho calculated entirely by dead reckoning. Further, he not only made hia survey when all nature was clothed in iee and snow --:--which placed it out of his power at all times to recognise land from water, much more to distinguish that water which *was salt from that which was fresh—but he made short cuts laud, which an' experienced traveller' would thus. lost 'sight of eoyf ro und capes 'and bays, and - E ve n under the most favou r a bl e ci rcumstances, it is impos ..ttlilooialiLaenvtaginid9l.loUinto .ryn. " Arctic Ocean," vol. ii,, p. N. I would state, in conclusion, that the various surveys which have been set afloat since I Came forward in 1/336 as a volunteer, have but cleared 'the • way to render the soundness of my views more apparent. The several expeditions which have since been undertaken, whether they have resulted in success or failure, have afforded so many successive links in the chain of evidence which demon strates the scientific character of the views advanced by me in 1836—and for adherence to which I have been refused all character as a scientific traveller and all honorary acknow. ledgment of faithful service to my country. lam not, how. ever, asking your Lordship to recommend to her Majesty the bestowing upon me a mark of approbation, as a reward for the soundness of these views, which has been bestowed upon those who contradicted them. I am asking your Lordship to appoint me to a service for which I am 1, ecu- Early qualified—a service of extreme hazard and labour, but which, to be successful, must be undertaken by some one of great experience. lam willing to labour still for that recognition which will give me equality with those who are now my superiors— and when I state to your Lordship that I stand alone as a single_individual, isolated from the heroes of the Pole in regard to reward for services, I trust your Lordship will consider that I have strong claims for such a service. The time has arrived, I say, when I am able to refer your Lordship to myyast services and my present character as a guarantee that I am sincere in my offer, and •as an earnest that I will faithfully discharge the duties which will devolve upon me if I should be honoured with the service I am seeking at your Lordship's hands. 'Surely, my Lord, I should now have a peace-offering. A considerable portion of the main continent of North America 'bears the outline which I gave to it,—in which I differed with Sir George Back. The Great Bay of Simpson, and the trending of the land north-east of Cape Hay are so many truths, and although the trending of the land named Points Ross and Booth—which I maintain runs N.W. and• S.E., and - not East and West as Sir George Back has mapped it—and the peniusularity of North Somerset, for which I have for twelve years contended, have to be proved, they are rendered highly probable by the journey of Dr. Rae. That I have laboured through this difficult subject for so many years, and at last successfully, that I have been the first to show how the great puzzle of three centuries could be un. ravelled ; and that I have constantly offered for a period of twelve of those years,.whenever an opportunity occurred, to be the means of unravelling it, inspire me with the hope that I - shall at last find justice at the hands of your Lordship, and that 1 may be allowedio have my place in the great effort which must be made for the rescue of the one hundred and thirty-six men who compose the lost expedition.—l have the honour, &e., Ilacmtan KING. TO THE RIGHT HOE'. EARL GREY. 17, Saville Row, Doc. 8,1847. My Lord,—Since my letter to your Lordship of the,2sth ol November, the Athencem has published, on high authority, the effort which the Board of Admiralty has resolTed to maize in search of the Polar Sea Expedition under the command of Sir Jelm_Franklin. By that effort the Add, which I have pro posed to your Lordship is by no means rendered unnecessary ; While it is shownto be important from the fact, that if Sir John Richardson fails in finding the lost expedition along the coast of North America comprised between the Mackenzie and the Coppermine Rivers, or Wollaston Land, which is opposite to that coast, he is to search Victoria Laud in the summer of 1849. Victoria Land can as easily be reached from the Groat Fish River hs the western land of North Somerset. I can search, therefore, that locality in the first instance, if it be considered necessary- 7 esPecially as it is known that our lost countrymen will have ceased to exist before Sir John Richardion can make the proposed search. I see no reason to alter my opinion, expressed to your Lordship in my letter of the 10th or June last, in these words.--" If that land should prove the resting place of the Erebus and Terror, it will not be that of the Ex pedition. If the party have kept together, they will take to their boats and make for the western land of North Somerset —for the double purpose of reaching Barrow Strait in search of whalers, as Sir John Ross did successfully, and the Great Fish River Estuary for provisions or letter conveyance to the Copper Indians, with whom the Esquimaux are now in friendly relations." The fact, that all lands which have a western aspect are generally ice-free—which I dwelt largely upon when the Expe dition sailed—must have I ad weight with Sir John Frank lin ; he will, therefore, on finding himself in a serious diffi culty while pushing along the eastern side of Victoria Land, at once fall upon • the western land of North Somerset as a refuge ground. The " effort" by Bobring Straits and Banks Land is praise worthy in attempt, but " forlorn in hope,"—and may be dealt with briefly. In the former effort it is assumed that Sir John Franklin has made the P "- assage," and that his " arrest is .between the Mackenzie River and Icy Cape;" in the Latter, that Sir James Clarke Ross will reach Banks Land, and trace its continuity to Victoria or Wollaston Land-.and thus make the " Passage." . In the first place, we have no reason to believe that Sir John Franklin and Sir James Clarke Ross will be more fortu nate than their predecessors have been ; and if we can indulge such fond hopes, we cannot trust to them. In the second' place, we are unable to assume that Sir James Clarke Ross will reach Banks Land. Sir Edward Parry was unable to reach it, and merely viewed it from a distance ; much less are we able to assume that the gallant officer will find a high road to , Victoria Land, which is altog,ether a terra inevnita. The main point, then, for consideration is, the effort of Sir James Clarke Ross along the western laud of North Somerset from his station in Barrow Strait ; for it is that alone which ban supersede the necess i ty for the plan I have proposed. It is not in Sir John Richardson's power, it must be borne iu mind, to search the western land of North Somerset. Mr. Thomas Simpson, who surveyed the arctic coast comprised between the Coppermine and Castor and Pollux Rivers, has set that question at rest,---and he is the only authority upon the subject. " A further exploration," remarks Mr, Simpson from the most eastern limit of his journey, " would neces sarily demand the whole time and energies of another Expe dition, having some point of retreat much nearer to the scene of operations than the Great Bear Lake ; "*—and Great Bear Lake is to be the retreat of Sir John Richardson: What retreat, my Lord, could Mr. Simpson have meant but Great Slave Lake—the retreat of the land party in search of Sir John Ross ?—and what other road to the unexplored ground, the western land of North Somerset, could that tra veller have had in his mind but the Great Fish River—that stream which I have pointed out to your Lordship as the ice free and the high road to the land where the lost expedition is likely to be found—to the boundary of that " Passage," which, for three and a half centuries, we have in vain been endeavouring to reach in ships ? It is generally admitted that ?fr. Thomas Simpson was " no common man." Besides, he was assisted in his memorable journey by McKay, Sinclair, and Taylor--the bowman, the steersman, and the chief middleman and despatch-carrier to the land journey in search of Sir Jehn Ross ;—men who, I can assure your Lordship after three Toars' experience of their service,. wore of no common stamp. Sir J. Richardson cannot have such assistance—death has done its work I If Mr. T. Simpson, in the youth of his life, with such assist. ance, could not make a greater distance from his winter quarters. on the Great Bear Lake than Castor and Pollux Rivers - and if that great man, at that distance from his winter retreat, Considered that "any fool-hardy perseverance could only lead to the loss of the whole party,"l----can more . be expected of Sir 3: Richardson at his period of life ? It is physically impossible, therefore, that Sir John Richardson can occupy the field which I have proposed for myself.

My Lord,—l have the honour to acknowledge the receipt! of Mr. Hawes's letter of the Bth instant. Mr. Hawes states,l " I am desired by Earl Grey to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 25th ultimo, in which you solicit employi ment in connection with the expedition which you state about to be sent out in search of Sir John Franklin; and am to acquaint you in answer that it does not fall within his Lordship's province, as Secretary of State for the Colonies, tf confer appointments of this nature , but that you should ad dress any application you may desire to make upon the su ject to the Lords Commiisioners of the Admiralty." I can scarcely express to your Lordship the deep tiorro which I felt at receiving such an answer—especially at th eleventh hour : for your lordship has been in possession my views of the position of Sir John Franklin's Arctic Expq dition, and the means of affording it relief, since last June II and, in February, the service I have proposed, if it, bi adopted, must be in progress. Yin. Lordship is labouring altogether under a misconce tion of the views expressed in that letter. lam not " solidi, hag employment in connection with the expedition which about to be scut out iu search of Sir John Franklin," lam endeavouring to induce your Lordship to take measures which I believe to be necessary for saving the lives of 136 of °lir fellow-creatures. So far from soliciting employment —so fir from desiring to continue a Polar traveller—l have long since ceased to be a candidate for such an office, my services in search of Sir John Ross not haviUg been even acknowledged by the Colouhl and Admiralty Boards ; and it is only for the sake of humanity that I apa induced to come.forwArd again in such a character. It would not be in your Lordship's power to make go od the lo ss whih I should sustain in going iu search of Sir John Franklin—La loss which cannot be measured by a money standard ; and, aS for employment, I should have to resign five appointments of honour and emolument which I hold, together with my professional practice. It is not for. me to question your lordship's province as Secretary of State for the Colonies, but it is for me to consi der, whether I " should address, any application I may desire to make upon the subject" to. the Admiralty Board. The manner in which that " Board" met my offer to administer medical relief to the suffering crew of the steamer Eclair, and the suppression of my name in the return made to . the House of Commons, on the motion of Admiral Dundas, and ordered to be printed 13th March, 1846,, of officers and men who volunteered to serve on that occasion, and the hostile feeling which has prevailed kt the Admiralty against my views on Arctic discoveries—all of which have now been proved to be correct—are sufficient reasons for my not again offering my services to that Board. Some changes must have taken place if it does not fall within your Lordship's province to originate expeditions of the nature which I have suggested, for Earl Bathurst despatched the overland journeys in com- mand of Sir John Franklin, and Viscount Goderich the expe dition in search of Sir John Ross—so that all the Polar land journeys have emanated from the Colonial Board. For the sake of our suffering fellow-countrymen, whose miseries and hardships I can perhaps above most men con ceive and appreciate, I deeply regret your Lordship's deter mination.—l have, &c., RICHARD TO THE LORDS COMMISSIONERS OF TIM ADMIRALTY. - . 17, Savile-row, February, 1848. My Lords,—" The old route of Parry, through Lancaster Sound and Barrow Strait, as far as the last land on its south ern shore, and thence in a direct line to Behriug Strait, is the route ordered to be pursued by Franklin." The gallant officer has thus been despatched to push his ad venturous way between Melville Island and Banks Land, which Sir E. Parry attempted unsuccessfully for two years. After much toil and hardship, and the best consideration that great man could give to the subject, ho recorded, at the mo ment of retreat, in indelible characters, these impressive thoughts : " We have been lying near our present station, with an easterly wind blowing fresh for 36 hours together ; and although this was considerably off the land, the ice had not during the whole of that time moved a single yard from the shore, affording a proof that there was no space in which the ice was at liberty to move to the westward. Tho navigation of this part of the Polar Sea is only to bo performed by watching the occasional openings between the ice and the shore, and that, therefore, a continuity of land is essential for this purpose. Such a'continuity of land, which was here about to fail us, must necessarily bo furnished by . the north ern coast of America, in• whatsoever latitude it may be found." Assuming, therefore; Sir J. Franklin has been arrested be tween Melville Island and Banks Land, where Sir E. Parry was arrested by difficulties which ho considered insurmount able, and "Co has followed the adViee - of that gallant officer, and made for the continent of America, ho will have turned the prows of his vessels south and west, according as Banks Laud trends for Victoria and Wollaston Lauds. It is here, therefore, we may expect to find the expedition wrecked, whence they will make in their boats for the western land of North Somerset, if that land should not be too far distant. In order to save the party from the ordeal of a fourth win ter, when starvation must bo • their lot, I propose to under- take the boldest journey - that has over been attempted in the northern regions of America, one which is justifiable only from the circumstances.. I propose to attempt to reach the western laud of North Somerset, or the eastern portion of Victoria Laud, as may bo deemed advisable, by the close of the approaching summer ; to accomplish, in fact, in one summer that which has not been done under two. I rest my hope of success in the performance of this hercu lean task upon the fact that I possess an intimate knowledge of the country and the people through which .I shall have to pass, the health to stand the rigour of the climate, and the strength to undergo the fatigue of mind and body to which L must be subjected. It is because I have these requisites, which I conscientiously believe are not to be found in another, that I hope to effect my purpose. A glance at the map of North Ainerica, directed to Behring Strait in the Pacific, Barrow Strait in the Atlantic, and the land of North Somerset between them, will make it apparent that, to render assist ance toa party situated on that coast, there aro two ways by sea and one by land. Of the two sea-ways, the route by the Pacific is altogether out of the question; it is an idea of by gone days ; while that by the Atlantic is so doubtful of suc cess that it is merely necessary to put this assistance aside * Bigrow'a Arctic Yaps's, P. 11, What retreat could Mr. Thomas Simpson have meant but Great Slave Lake, the retreat of the landy party in search of Sir J. Ross, to which party I was second officer, but acting first officer for two-thirds of the period of its activity? And what other road to the unexplored ground, the western land of North Somerset, could that traveller have meant than the Great Fish River, that magnificent stream which I have pointed out as the ice-free and high road to the land where the lost expedition is likely to be found, to the boundary of that "Passage" which for three-aud-a-half centuries we have in vain been endeavouring to reach in ships ? If Mr. Thomas Simpson, in the youth of his life, with three of my best and most faithful crew, down the Great Fish River, in his service—M‘Kay, Sinclair, Taylor—could not make a greater distance from his winter quarters on the Great Bear Lake than Castor and Pollux Rivers ; and if that great man, at that distance fromhis winter retreat, considered that " any further foolhardy perseverance could only lead to the loss of the whole party"—can more be expected of Sir J. Richardson at his period of life I It is physically impossible Sir J. Richardson can occupy the field I am proposing for myself. This, then, is evidently the question of importance. Does the attempt of Sir James Clarko Ross to search the western land of North Somerset, in boats, from his station in Barrow Strait, render that proposal unnecessary ? Hero facts will speak for themselves :-Ist. Barrow Strait was ice-bound in 1332. 2d Sir Jamas Clarke Ross is using the same 'means to relieve Sir J. Franklin which has led that gallant officer into his difficulty ; the relief party, therefore, may become a party in distress. 3d. The land that is made ou the south shore of Barrow Strait will be of doubtful character, the natural consequence of discovery ships ; the searching parties at the end of the summer, therefore, may find they have been coast ing an island many miles distant from the 'western land of North Somerset, or navigating a deep bay as Nettebue navi gated the sound named after him, and as Sir J: Franklin navigated the sea called Melville Sound. These difficulties have so frequently occurred, that ample facts • will be found in the narratives of the several Polar Sea Expeditions to-tes tify to the truthfulness of the remarks. The plan I have proposed is to reach the Polar Sea across the continent of America, an I thus to proceed from land known to bo continent where every footstep is sure. If that plan be laid aside, the lives of our lost countrymen will de pend upon a single throw, in the face of almost certain failure, if the difficulty in which the lost expedition is involved is the same difficulty which, not to go further back than 1818, has driven away every officer, including even Parry himself, who has made the attempt. It is because Earl Grey informs me, " it does not fall within his Lordship's province, as Secretary of State for the Colonies, to confer appointments of this nature, but that I should ad- dress any application I may desire to make upon the subject to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty," that I am induced to offer to your Lordships to go in search of Sir J. Franklin by the Great Fish River.—l am, &e., RICHARD KING. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE ADMIRALTY. 17, Saville Row, 18th February, 1850. Sir,—The period having arrived when a search may be made for the Franklin Expedition by an overland journey across the continent of America, I am anxious to refer my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, for reconsideration, to my plan, dated February, 1843, and published in a return to an address of the honourable the House of Commons of the 21st of March following. The opinion of Captain Sir Edward Parry, published in that return, was highly favourable to the position I assigned to the lost expedition—the western land of North Somerset—and to the mode in which I proposed to reach it (by the Great Fish River); but the gallant and intrepid officer, " agreeing thus far, was compelled to differ with me as to the readiest mode of reaching that coast, because he felt satisfied that with the resources of the expedition then equipping under Sir James C. Ross, the energy, skill, and intelligence of that officer would render it a matter of no very difficult enterprise to examine the coast in question with his ships, boats, or travelling parties." In the plan to which I am now asking their Lordships' ro consideration, this question, which I premised might be raised, is thus argued by me :—" Does the attempt of Sir John Ross to reach the western land of North Somerset in boats from his station in Barrow Strait render that proposal unnecessary ? (to roach the western land of North Somerset by the Great Fish River.) Hero facts speak for ' themselves. •14, Barrow Strait was ice-bound in 1832 ; it may therefore be ice-bound in 1848. 2d, Sir John Ross is using the same means to relieve Sir John Franklin which led the gallant officer into difficulty ; the relief party may, therefore, become a party in distress. 3d, The land that is made on the south shore of Barrow Strait will be of doubtful character, the natural conse quence of discovery in ships ; the searching party, at the end ' of the summer, may therefore find they have been coaxing, an island many miles distant from the western land tet North Somerset, or navigating a deep bay, as Kotzebue laaTigatf ; the sound named after him, and as Sir John ,T'rank lin navigated the sea called Mel Ville which 'I • have proposed is; to ''eachth proceed from across the continent of.

BarrowStra k it was lee_ "u rtnes Clarke Ross fa iled in affording the least succour to Sir James lost ' expedition, and I am thus spared the painful neces sity of replying to the gallant officer's remarks expressed to their Lordships, in no measured terms, upon that plan which, in fact, Sir Edward Parry has done for me,:--the plan of one who learnt his lesson in active discovery in an overland journey in search of the gallant officer when the whole civilised world was as anxious for his fate as it is now fol. the gallant Sir John Franklin. All that has been done by way of search since February, 1848, tends to draw attention closer and closer to the wes; laud of North Somerset as the position of Sir John Franklin, and to the the Great Fish River as the high road to reach, it, Such a plan as I proposed to their lordships in 1818 is con scquently of the utmost importance. It would be the happiest moment of my life—(and my delight at being selected from a long list of volunteers for the relief of Sir John Ross was very great)—if their Lordships would allow me to go by my old route, the Great Fish River, to attempt to save human life a second time on the shores of the ?olar usa. What I slid in NATURE OF SIEGE OPERATIONS. To many of our nen-professional readers, who are not versed in the various technical military terms now se generally used in the letters and despatches which are daily arriving from the seat of war (the more especially as relate to the preparations for the siege of Sebastopol), the following explanations may be of use at the present moment. To our military readers the terms fascines, gabions, saucissons, &c., may be as "familiar as house hold words." They may not be so, however, with the great mass of the public, who take so deep an interest in all matters having reference in any way to the war in the East. The batteries constructed for the Fiege of any pleas (as in the cale - hf Sebastopol) are made-of fascia - ea sands sons, and not unfrequently, in the absence of laid-er rocky ground. with earth. They are also made with gabion', or sand bngs. Fascines are composed of branches of trees, or brush wood (where they are to be obtained), made up in the form of faggots, about six feet long, and eight or ten in. in diameter, tied together in two or three places. San cissons, which are used for keeping up the earth work of the battery, are also made of the same materials ; bet they are from-eighteen to twenty feet in length, and are tied Up'in bundles of some fourteen or sixteen inches in diameter. Gabiens are cylindrical baskets, without a "bottom, from three , to four feet high, and the sane in diameter, to be filled with earth. Sand bags, which are from ten to fifteen it chesin diameter, and about two feet in length, are also to contain earth. Nut lee than about 1,600 of these are required for the parapet, iu the con struction of a battery of only two pieces. The batteries which are used in sieges, to destroy the defences of. a place, are called battering batteries ; the guns being placed behind a mass of earth (or works corn posed of gabions and sand bags), about 7 feet high and 20 feet in thickness. Ricochet batteries are of the same construction as battering batteries ; their uses being to enfilade, with guns or howitzers, the faces of the works of a fortification. What is termed ricochet firing is when the guns, howitzers, or mortars are loaded with small charges, and elevated at an angle of from 3 to 13 de grees, so as to throw the shot er shell with several grazes or bounds, either on land or water. The weight of cannon (when we hear of such heavy metal being moved, in the Crimea, up precipices, and over rugged groued, rendered almost impassable even to the best appointed arabas,) may surprise many of our readers. A 42-pounder brass gun weighs 61 cwt ; . A light brass 24-pounder, 24 cwt.; and a 32-pounder iron gun, 55 cwt. Many persons, when they read of cannon being spiked to prevent them (when a place is compelled to be eva ' cuated in too great haste to carry off the guns) from be ing of any service to an enemy, imagine that it is the piece which is operate d u p on ; but this is not so. o f the The method most commonly adopted to render effective ordnance totally unfit for sere ce is to drive a nail firmly into the vent (or touch-hole) and then knock off the head, so that by no means could it be pulled out. This, even in a battery of 100 guns, is but the work of a few seconds, the artillery being always provided with the necessary means to effect this purpose. Some idea may be formed of the immense weight of powder required to be carried into the field to serve a battery, independently of the ball, when it, is stated that for field artillery, in general actions, in the attack and defence of entrenchments, &c., the charges vary from one-third to three-eighths of the weight of the shot, ac cording to the calibre and weight of the gun. The larger charge, however, is generally used in the attack and defence of fortified places. It may be obser ved . that the quantity of powder used for proving gunsoisioaesqual fol lows : From the 3 to the 12-pounder th o e the g_ th 2. ounder to the shot's weight ; and from the 1s eh t ot. For p proving to three-quarters the weight of and for heavy and medium g light brass guns the charge r op e tihteiserivaltotheshott,s full weight. - We may add, as regaids the weight of mortars (of which several will be emproyed in the attack ou Sebas. tope)), al3 inch land servic t h e s rass mortar weighs 25 cwt., and an iron mortar, ame calibre, 38 cwt.
