In the month of October, 1844, tkZir-"eeeaf Low in price, I thought a speculation in rails likely ~ .. ah o el, and made a contract for a largo quantity with o? ' „ P !„ea and Forman of London.

The price of iron . afterwards ad tW tre tti l oke any other man, was surely entitled to the en ltere °f mY own iron. In the month of March, 1845, "Il• y utro Ptiblicly Invited for the supply of iron rails to your ,a. 14 a l ' they were accordingly made. by some of the first „ .

When these tae rst agitated, I submitted the whole of the facts, with ,,nse O f, qualification, to most eminent counsel, by whom I I t hs t aa a 4. l 'flat no legal claim could be established against me. I 1 4 41 1 , 4 thor:,, tr °n, gIY opposed to any compromise whatever, feeling te that h ad investigation of the facts must remove much of the 1 54 i st e ead been excited against nte. I was informed, however, w hom I placed confidence, that the questions raised by kla i , be a n t i in ' t 4c ease of enl Compy ormous would involveexpense anden me i dl n years of litigation, and endless annoyance and ,ta,,74ea, Was advieted that legal and technical questions, foreige ce `ta • of the •ht influence the decision to be pro 4411ira and _ l . - - - 4 , . and could aot.but feel that, when even my title to-the ik e Ni e l,,TictiOn shares was questioned, though it rested upon t Z s liii g i' l Z-Trdeil vote of the shareholder!, it would be' idle in 4 46",'Nt ea ' . Forn myself that tile proceedings throughout would , ,Nla g t ' in a similar spirit. ik Ak t - h i ilikh o t these considerations, I have assented to the arrange -11,73,14am!,)epn come to, and I . kave also thought it right to I ke ti l e', self the entire iesponsibillty of the Sunderland - Dock Lo relieve my colleagues from all liability iu respect of qtrt k tt'is 4, 41 1 14, 1 ,10 t another charge which, although it does not involve 11 114', 4 , r esPonsiby should still be adverted to. I would not S . , the th s' scrutiny to which the accouuts have been subjected, e ql e tanr with. which they have been examined, neither do I ;44 ring into 'details, for I should then have to discuss the tty to bj and still unsettled question of what charges really tli tt lect „tarried to the capital and what to the revenue accounts, which no two men think precisely alike. Every item f t ,e ,: a Ve been :improperly carried to capital would, in fact, 1 11 1 , r t 7 t Parate exaMination. Nv.. 4 td a .; `td that in the aggregate, 107,3711. les. 10d. has been lk.s i aat e, alma capital, which ought to have been charged against itgt ;k:D to the close of the year_ 1848 ; and it is added that, e period, the traffic has been over reported to the ex 0,,,,t th e ' ~4 4i • 19s. 7d. Of the former sum, 17.9581. 155. bd. occurs 'o4t - '4 ,1 of Interest paid on Debentures and when I men stipqa.,,;ll)nting the whole period of the formation of the railroad, 104 , ranches, this is the only sum which, in the shape of de tJ her has been carried to the debit of the capital account. M t I nia,,Planation cannot be requisite for those who have regard to lie,„ - nde of the operations of the Company, and to the extent lt e ,DlAk,r`oauctive works. Another portion of the sum which Is ,: ea of consists of 59,8111. 14s. Bd., arising from the late Di e •,ot ire, h al having charged some interest which, although it might be ah.'ette,, not been actually paid, and not having charged some bills, afterwards collected by public advertisement, and t Ail l( l 2 :t. having at that time been'seen by those Directors, Could 4 her e , e comprehended in their financial statements. tt: O l t tstill a balance of 29.6011.

There may eii ? no doubt are—some errors in the published accounts 14 4 1tf. t i ti naPress my hope that the report of the late Committee of sfi L t th a n r may be examined with more indulgence in this re tott e - h as been extended to the former Directors. In the report bC2e, ; )fl atnittee the Railway Company is charged with the sum of kija.

During the period 1,-L;al adults, in the account the receipts of the Company from 4 - 4 1 • 5 1 - . ru r in gs, as published by the Committee, have been er k ,' s . 2d. a sum in comparison with which the alleged Aorta traffic of 14,5521. 195. 7d. sinks into utter insignin- Ss v , i lixt C r aY nothing of its being far more than covered by the uu th'„,77l, 9„;fits, admitted, on the same authority, to amount to 1 0 ,zee,;:a 11 - In addition, I ma observe, that the accounts of i h art ert ' s 7Y have not been cred i ted with the very large Item due 0 1.11 nn calls in arrear, although they bad been debited with ely t. ,l en ds declared on the same shares, a circumstance not very I h ' vr e occurred if it had .been intended to publish inflated I le N . bl 4, Olfid r ,„ t Pass over unnoticed the depreciation which has taken ° the e a alue of the shares of the Company, and which has been rek?!!tit worth of deep regret.

It is owing to the formation nire a,,anes of railway— the undue weight attached by the Le teZatei.:" olininished length, regardless of enhanced capital—the sanj i e stablishment of branch lines—and the insufficiency of the 'neli eci lned by Parliament whenever the competition of parties ek7le,t`ttti to submit. ec ,„ is system I exerted 'myself tO the utmost.

T HE POET'S PROPHECY Ido not want to imitate old Moore, _ Who often tried the,lntiir. never nandie matters of chronology By means of signs connected with astrology. Far more I know of waistcoats, coats, and breeches, Than fortnne-tellers, almanacks, and witches. Yet, notwithstanding this, my humble muse Is half-inclined to tread in Murphy's shoes, By telling you the reasons she has got For thinking winter will be hard er not. Judging from signs, I do not think I'm wrong In saying winter will be hard and long. I fancy that the snowdrop's slender leaf Shows certain signs that winter won't be brief; The crocus and the hyacinth as well The self-same story of the winter tell ; And there is something in the robin's note Which indicates that warmth is far remote. Now, if you think I'm right in such a guess, A warning take, and look to winter dress. Moses and Son's warm coats you must regard, If winter's mason's to be long and hard. No opportunity have Moses' lost • In making preparation for the frost. The trading bard's prediction, kindly meant, Should lead to Moses' famed establishment, Where winter dress for moderate price is sold, Adapted to the bard's predicted cold. LIST Or PRICE 4.

Her Majesty's Discovery ship Plover, Choris reninsulo, Kotz-bui-sound, Sept. 25, 1849. (Received January 21, 1850.) Sir,—Having had no opportunity of communicating with Great Britain since my last report t.) my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, dated August, 1848, at Woahu (Sandwich Llands), I have the honour t) ac 'paint you, f their Lordships' information, with the gmeeral proceedings of her Majesty's ship under my command up to this period. After filing up water and laying in a stock of fresh provisions, vegetables, etc., I sailed from Woahu (Aug. 25, 1848) with the N E trade wind, which I carried pretty steadily till the 3 , 1 of September, at which time I ha l reached the parallel of 36 deg. N., and 171 dcg. W. From this date I continued , to hold a course to the S.W. (though much impeded by northerly winds), in order that, in the event f meeting westerly winds, ai I had been led to expect, I might have the passage through the Aleut;an Islands•under my . le-, On the 27th of Sertmber I had the satisraetion of knowing , by the ship's reckoning that I had passed the latitude o! Attu, the westernmost island of this group, though from the prevailing cloudy and foggy weather no iridiCation of my approach to land could -be observed„ beyond a slight discoloured appearance of the tea, which had been first noticed on the 20th, on which day I com: Inel - iced to sound, but found no ty i ttom till the sth of October, in lat. 61 deg. 19 min. N. lon. 174 dog. 8 As I had now obtained soundings, and having observed for a day or two past a bright yellow blink, extending from N. to S.E. by E., I kept the deep sea lead con- stantly going, which ny,‘, on the Bth (October), IT9 fttlionas, gradually , 410Fewing from that day till the • [stand of St. Laurence — Was seen , -on the 13th. From the 23d ofSeptmber 1 experienced n succes- sion of variable and light' winds; with fn quent squalls of moderate force, chitfly from N. W. and N.E., and oc casional calms, the weather being ftlmost Constantly thick and cloudy, with frequent falls of rain, and subsequently to the 3d of October, when the temperature . had fallen _ _ , . permanently below 40 deg. of Fahrenheit, sleet and snow orevailed. On the 13th the Island of St. Laurence was made out , already covered with snow, causing its appearance to be with difficulty reconciled with the delineations on the Admiralty charts, those tf Behring's Straits, together wit the "Sailing Dir‘ctions" forwarded by Admiral Lutzke, through Captain Kellett, unfortunately not having reached me. In the evening, whilst yet in the passage, the wind again veered to N.F., and con tinued to blow from that quarter, increasing in force during the night, and, notwithstanding the utmost ►igila'tce of the officers cf the watche , found on the 16th .I was thirty miles to the southward of Lay posi tion on the previous day, being several miles tat eeward of the South Cape (Asiatic shore) instead of weathering Cape Chaplin, as I expected. Finding the vessel thus totally unqualified to contend against an adverse wind and a strong current setting to the south-west (which had been felt in some considerable degree there several dais past), I felt the necessity of :coking shelter under the land, whilst still in my power, rather than remain at Kea under such urfaourable circumstances. I accord- ingly carne to at 7 20 A. DI. in a bay on the S.W. coast of Siberia, ot en to the south and suit, at a distance of four miles frOn; LL a land. in readiness to take immedia t e ad van- sago of any favourable circumstances that might occur. Mr. Henry Martin, second master, was dispatched to ex amine an indentation which I ob s erved, having the ap pearance of a river, who, on his return, reported the existence cf an extensive harbour, with safe anchorage, protected from the sea by a long low spit. Ia the na( an time a number cf natives came off to the ship, from whom I understood that I could conveniently procure a supply of water near the anchorage reported by Mr. Martin. I stood in on the following day, and anchored at 9 45 P. M., in twenty fathoms water, tho wind being still fresh at north-east. On the 200, finding the direction and force of the wind tO continue, the tem - peratareof the air to fall us low as 23i deg. Fahrenheit, and the sea water to 28i deg., I deemed it prudent to take the opinions of , the officers as to whether an endeavour to proceed to the northward should bs suede (these opinions I have the honour to enclose), which I beg to state were strictly in accordance with my own sentiments—viz , that it would be better to remain in this secure harbour for the winter than make a useless attempt to proceed north ward, with a prObabilitv cf being unable to regain my advantageous position (from which I could send out over land expeditions), and on account of the advanced season to lose the chance of wintering even in Petro paulski. I therefore determined that, should no favourable change take place before the 26th, to select a convenieat spot in which to place the ship for the winter. On the 23d a still farther reduction of temperzture took place; the upper part of the harbour was reported fee zing over, and Avg() masses of ice forming during the night about the ship, in consequence of which, after a personal examination of an inner harbour possessing many advantages, I removed thither ou the 24th, anchor- fog three 161. at seve fathoms. The harbour to which I had now removed commu nicated with the larger one by an opening a mile wide, forming a basin four miles long, and ono accl a half in bre sdth, surrounded on every side by lofty mount sine, exc •pt to the southward, where it was separated from the sea by a tract of low land, and an extensive lagoon, and having deep water at the entrance and middle, with good anchorage on each side close to the shore. Oa the low land, at the south was a native settlement a seven huts, to which belonged a large,herd of reindeer, from which I hoped from time to time to obtain supplies of fresh meat; considering it, however, safer for the ship on account of the force and prevalence of the north-east winds, as well as the probability of the ice drifting, and on the whole batter to be at a little dis tance from a people whose friendly disposition was not yet established, I remortd to the north-side of the har bour on the 25th, and there secured the ship for the winter on the 29th (October). From the 29th the people were'employed dismantling the ship, leaving nothing but the lower rigging over the mastheads, building a house of stones fur the con venience of working tt.e forge, drying clothes, &c., and housing the ship in, all which was completed by the Bth of November. During this time ice was continually forming around, and frequently broken up by rqnalls and strong north east winds, so that the ship was not finally frozen in until the 18th, whoa the natives were first enabled to visit us alongside the ship in their sledges, drawn by dos. It will now be necessary for me to inf)rm their Lord ships of the friendly intercourse I bad succeeded in es tablishing with the different tribes of natives near my winter quatt3rs. They at first appeared to hesitate about coming on board, but on making a few presents, and allowing some traffic to bo carried on with them, they gained confidence, at least so far as to enter the ship readily when invited to do so, being careful on all occasions to guard against treachery on their part, on ac count of the warlike and re'eatless character attached to the people of these coasts by some authors. During the months cf November and December the ship was daily visitsd, not only by those in the vicinity, but also by others from a distance along the coast and inland, by my intercourse with whom I svas enabled to satisfy myself that they were not only peaceful, but dis posed to be actively friendly toward myself and the officers and men under my command. The first difficulty was to gain some knowledge of the language, to which all the officers applied themselves with surprising suc csas, so much so that in the sarly part of the year I was enabled to send them in different directions with the confident expectation that they would be able to make successful inquiries as to whether any vesse's answering to the description of her Majesty's ships Erebus and Terror had visited any part of the coast, or been seen during the past year by any of the natives. On these expeditions every officer in the ship (except Mr. Francis Lee, acting second mater, ice) took his turr, displaying throughout a persevering energy in en during fatigue and hardship, as well as firmness and dis cream in their intercourse with the natives, which I cannot sufficiently commend; which conduct I sincerely trust will meet their Lordships' approbation and tend to their future advancement. Of those hardships I can confidently speak from my own experience in travelling on several occasions on a sledge in heavy snowdrifts, with the thermometer at 30 deg. below zero. The following account of a party which left the ship in February will bo ri ad with interest, I think: — Having understood from the natives that there was to be seen the remains of a vessel near East Cape, but the time cf the ship's wreck I could not make out, to gain more certain information of which I sent Mr. Wm. 11. Hooper, acting mate; Mr. Henry Martin, second master; and Mr. William 11. Moore, master's assistant, with two naive guides who were familiar with that part of the coast, and upon whom I could confidently depend, giving them directions to proceed as far as they found the natives friendly, and if practicable to cross the straits and visit Kotzebue Sound, but on no account rashly ta trust themselves among tribes with whom their guides were not familiar, or were in every way doubtful of. On the second day of their journey, when about fifty miles from the ship, they were overtaken by a violent snow st np, by which their progress was much impede 1, und, from the thickness of the weather, all idea of the direction in which they had travelled became lost, and at nightfall the guides confessed they knew not where they were, and that they must wait for clear weather, which might be expected with the moonlight. On the second dsy the guides were in some degree re-assured, and again proceeded, but at night found themselves as igno rant of their position as ever, and a third day was passed in the same mincer. On the fourth day Mr. Martin, from the fact cf their having been for the greater part of the time on the sea ice, having once only been on the land, which th-y imperceptibly lost, judged that their wandering l: ad been made in a circle of moderate ex tent proposed, from his knowledge of the coast in a pre vious journey, to attempt reaching the place they had last left by the aid of his pocket compass, to which Mr. Hooper readily agreed, and in the evening, when the weather cleared a little, they had the happiness to find that a merciful Providence had brought them out of clifficultir.s when to every appearance they were cut off from all hope. The slight view of the land they obtained recovered their exhausted frames and stimu lilted them to fresh exertions, by which they gainei Ung-wy-sack (Cape Chaplin on the charts) before dark ness set in. It would be impossible for me to describe their suffer ings from cold, fatigue, and want of fire, with the snow and drift finding its way beneath the folds of their gar ments, and there gradea!ly thawing, penetrated their under clothes. Under these trying circumstances, to add to their misfortune, Mr. Moore, on the second night of their exposure, was seized with a violent bowel com plaint, which continued until the day they reached the village, at which ho arrived literally more ch ad than t:live. He had complained also of cold frac t, which were now fjnnJ not frozen, but completely chilled as high as the knew, which in the course of the night, by the kind attentions of the nativee, were restored to their ❑atural temperature, but many weeks elapsed be fore sensation sod the power of voluntary motion were re-established in the right foot and ankle. I received a letter from Mr. Hooper by the hands of a trusty native, giving a detail of their progress, and expressing a strong desire to be per mitted to proceed, b aving Mr. Moore to return to the ship as soon as his strength would permit, which I granted, eroding a further supply ef provi:iiuns, and providing f,,r Al.r. Moore's immediate return to the ship. Messrs. Hooper and Martin continued their journey as far as to get a viewo f Erst Caps; beyond which they could not ge, as [het ribes to which their guides belonged were at feud with these further to the northward. I had the pleasure of receiving them on board in good health, afar an absence of six weeks, and by their account found that so far as they wont the natives were friendly and oblig ing, from whom they gained the information that some considerable time ago a vessel with one mast had been seen on the coast, which was understood to have been wrecked on the American side, where her stern frame is stdl to be seen on the Leach. Whilst these journeys were being rerformed the ob servations on.loardkand the duties of the ship were con dtwted by tieuomant William A. R. L^ll and the other ofieers, under my own direcit superintendence; and at it t , rvals Mr. Martin, assisted by Mr. Hooper, made a i.tirvey of the place in which I had temred the ship for the winter, which, connected with Mr. Martin's and my own observations on the coast to, the westward, will, I hone, give a tolerably correct representation of these shores, and. when associated with magnetic observations on every attainable point, will, I trust, meet their Lord- approbation, Among the internal arrangements of the ship, those for the in.truction and vcrcation of the crew, according to the example set by Captain Sir William Parry, were not omitted, and I gladly availed myself of the proffered sf , rvices of Mr. J. Simpson, nssistaot-surgeon, and Mr. John J. Lindsay, clerk in charge, in conducting a school for reading and writing, and getting up playb and mas querades for thf-ir a-nusement and pastime in the long dreary nights of winter. Soon aft-,r my arrival in Emma's Harbour (the name which I have given to the place in which I wintered) I was fortunate enough to procure a supply of reindeer's flesh from the natives, and saw large herds of these gni ._ inftls near the village, where I hoped to procure further upplieP, and in this I was nct ultimately disappointed, though the unwillingness of these people to harter large quatitities at a time, and the dikatice to which they were obliged to drive the flocks in search of pasturage whilst the land appeared entirely covered with snow, considerably reduced the quantities that might have been under other circumstances obtained. Towards the month of March, I therefore readily acceded to the wish of a chie ; who had come from a great distance with the cel eriacs of twelve reindeer, in return for a skip's musket, which I did not doubt their Lordships would approve of, considering the advantage arising to the ship's company by a change of diet. In the beginning of April, finding that the sea edge of tho ice began to break away, I set about fitting the ship for iei, which was completed in the fine weather of that im,nth, and on the 224 of May, when the floes had been broken as tar as the f'teh of the sea would rey.th, I deemed it necessary to commence cutting the chip out of tha remaining portion, which appeared fixed by two op polite points of land a mile and a quarter astern of the ship. The ice was found from five to six feet thick, and cubing out seemed a formidable operation for so small a crew, but the officers and men set to work with such alacrity, and carried on with such perseverance, that notwithstanding ii,t;rruptions occasioned by snow rt , rms, the work of cutting a canal of 2,000 yards in length, was completed in 22 days, and on the 13th of Juno 1 bad the pleasure of seeing the Plover released from her icy cradle, and at anchor iu tho char water of the harbour. The ship being thus free, and thoroughly refitted, as flr as my means would permit, and filled up with water of excellent quality, my departure was delayed by hpfiling winds aLd caltni, but on the 15th gained the outer anchorage by towing, and taking ad vantage of the ebb tides. Here again I was mortified to find the prevailing winds westerly and and driving a heavy and close pack of ice iu on the coast and outlet of the anchorage, which was rendered the more annoying by receiving frequent reports from the natives of two ships being off Cape Chaplin, on board which they had not been allowed. Although I considered it too early in the season to expect her Majesty's ship Herald, I felt t`►e necessity of assuring myself ss to what nation they might belong, and for thus purpose, as soon as I discovered there was room for a boat to realm her way between the coast and the pack, I sent Mr. Henry Martin, second master, in the gig, to gain information regarding them, by whose account I ascertained that one ship, which he boarded at anchor, about 20 miles to the northward of us. was the Tiger American whaler, Brew ster master, from China. Mr. Martin also reported that the vessel had been detained by streams of ice in the straits northwa-ds, but so far as he could observe the sea urns clear between the Island of St. Laurence and the main; that the other vessel seen was the Tiger's con sort, also a whaler, and that a heavy pack was set close in shore, to the distance of 10 er 12 miles east of my pre sent anchorage, between which and the beach he fre quently found insufficient room for the boat's oars to pull in clear water. After several attempts to get the ship to sea, and hav ing personally examined the extent of the pack from the top of a neighouring promontory, I was at length suc cessful, with a breeze at N.E., which drove the ice to the distance of a mile off shore, in rounding the S.E. cape, and anchored alongside the Tiger, on the south side of Cape Chaplin, on the Ist of iuly. To guard against delay in meeting the Herald I took the precau tion to purchase from the master of the Tiger some bread and a small quantity of salt meat, which were of superior quality and almost European prices. The wind continued at N.E., varying from a light to a red-topsail breeze, but by working in shore on the west side, and anchoring occasionally, I was enabled to get as far as the Bay of St. Laurence, but found the vessel totally incapable of weathering East Cape whilst the wind continued adverse. At this place I was de tained several days, but hal the good fortune to obtain a supply of reindeer's flesh, and on the I lth of June I sailed, favourable by W.S.W. breeze, which carried me to Chamisso Island, Kotzebue Sound, where I anchored on the 13th. Here I first got intelligence of the Herald having visited the straits (September, 1848), and imme dively set about preparing the boats to start the first favourable opportunity. - - " On the following morning I dispatched two boats (pinnace and gig), Lieutenant William A. R. Lee in the one, and Mr. William H. Hooper, acting mate, in the other, victualled for 70 days, with instructions to Lieut. Les to make the best of his way to the Mackenzie River; but they had not got out of signal distance when her Majesty's ship Herald hove in sight, and they were recalled. On the 15th Lieutenant Pullen joined, and Lieutenant Lee was discharged for passage to join the Asia. Att-r receiving as much provisions as I could conveniently stow, it was determined by Captain Kellett and myself to proceed to Wainwright Inlet, from whence the boats should' be again dispatched, examining the coast as the ships passed up, for the purpose of finding some secure winter quarter for the Plover, which was accordingly done, and on the 17th left Kot zebue Sound, and ou the afternoon of the same day were joined by Robert Shedden, Esq., in his schooner yacht, the Nancy Dawson. Not finding any spot in which to place this ship to the southward, we ar rived off Wainright Inlet on the 25th, and after exa mining it, and being satisfied she could not be got in, the decked boats of the ships, with two whalers, were sent away under the command of Lieutenant Pullen, ac companied by Mr. William 11. Hooper, acting mate, and Mr. Henry Martin, second master. (A copy of my in structions to Lieutenant Pullen I have the honour to enclose.) The two ships, with the Nancy Dawson, weighed, and proceeded in company with the boats; and it was my intention to have gone as far as Point Barrow lied not the wind hauled round N.E., when we lost sight of the boat] (26th). We then stood on to the north ward and westward till the following day, when we fell in with the pack, and on the 27th observed an appear- Miff/ of land, extending from N.W. by N. to N., and the drift ice to be covered iu many parts with mud and shells. Having now reached the latitude of 72 deg. 51 min. N., and 164 deg. 28 min. 30 sec. W., with the pack stretching from N. W. to N.N.E,, without an opening to the north ward, and feeling satisfied we could not penetrate further north to join the boats without hampering both vessels, we determined to return to Wainwright Inlet, re-examine it, and try, if possible, to place the Plover there for the winter, off which place we arrived on the 31st July. the the morning of the Ist f August I again vi site d inlet, and, much to my disappointment, 01 f ol u it n was forted have to lighten the Plover t much a ; the evening both nate the attempt was not made, fin's. should ships were obliged to weigh sa d ate coining up strong from thsele.. land, the t t h o e wind blow during which time I a d n i d oniT co th n e ii experienced the utmost an xiety, _he from that quarter for several da ys. from the fact that the current setting to the N.E. ship would do notlunn. T time I saw no hope for her but thy, beach. I beg to call and the wind lard from the . 1. 5. W.. for some considerable their Lordships' perticular attention to my position, as noted on the track chart for the time referred to. On the 11th I arrived off Cape Lisburne, avhere it v al ap pointed the two ships should meet ; brit not finding her here, proceeded on my way to Chamisao Island, as I did not feel myself justified in keeping :this vessel o n th e coast during the prevalence of the heavy S.W. winds. On the following day, August 12, the - wind increased to a gale from the westward, and it was only by carrying a press of canvass that I was enabled to weather Point Hope, and then with the loss of my port bower anchor and a length of chain, which I was obliged to slip ; the 1-- stopper and gear, sir - though new, being carried away by a heavy so-s, which struck her on the bow. On the afternoon of the 16th I arrived of Chemin° Island, and I immediately commenced to search for a nook in which to put the ship, but regret to say I found none which I considered safe for the winter, but deter mined to place her under the south side of Choris Penin sula, as being the only spot, in my opinion, where she could lay, which was accordingly done. I now took advantage of the opportunity to send a party to Eschollz' Bay, and succeeded in getting some fossil teeth, horns, &e., but not as many or so large as I should have liked to have presented their Lordships. If no opportunity offers to enable me to send them, it is my intention to keep them on board till my arrival in England. I also took up the flour and beads buried by Captain Beechy; the flour is in an excellent state o • preservation—so much so as to be eatable. I beg to for. ward a small keg fur their Lordships' inspection. The thermometer buried on Puffin Island we were, unfortu nately, unable to find, having no directions as to the spot where it lies. I also formed a party and went up the Buckland River to the distance of about 70 milee, where we wore unf irtunately stopped by a strong rapid of about a quarter of a mile lung. From the short time I was able to spare on my visit I could do no more than establish a most friendly feeling amongst the natives —so much so that some of them have brought their families down to Ketzebee Sound to be near us during the winter. On the 28th of August the schooner yacht Nancy Dawson, with her owner, Robert Shedden, Esq , arrived with Mr. Martin, second master, with ono (if the decked beats. Here I beg to say that I cannot sufficiently thenk Mr. Shedden for his kindness and att . mtion on all occasions to the boats of the expedition. Mr. Martin reperts having left Lieutenant Pullen and Mr. Hooper, rr.th the two whalers, about 50 mites to the eastward of Point Barrow, and tiat they had every prospect and hoped to be at the. Mackenzie in a few dsp. I am, therefore, daily and anxiously awaiting theirreturn. Mr. Martin also reports that the water is excto lngly i shell= off and about Elson Bay, and that, although the summer has been a most favourable one in every Te epee for a vessel coming through, yet the depth of water nece3sary is wanting. This, together with . the N.E. cur: cut, and the prevalence of S.W. winds. Mr, dins the N.W. passage, in my opinion, decidedly unat tainable. Althnugh every opportunity has beau aken advantage of to pin it formation from the nat.vcs as to Eir John Frankl►n and his party, I regret t) say that our labours have ber'n, as yet, unsueeefsfAl; but I trust long ere this reaches Lngland both he and his expedition will have arrived. Ibe to inform their Lordships that, as soon a 3 the ice breaks up to admit cf my proceeding northward, I shall do so, mahing my way back in sufficient time t be at Charnisso when the Herald arrives. I beg also to inform their Lordships that I am pro vided in every respect with provisions, slops, &c for my v.•ho;e complement, up to the end cf July, 1850. I have now, in conclusion, to express to their Lord ships how much I feel satisfied with the conduct and unwearied exertion of ti.e officers and men under try command; and I most earnestly beg to call the attention of their Lordships more pat ticularly to the three lowing officers—Mr. Henry Martin, second master; Mr. W. H. Hooper, acting mate; and Mr. John J. Lindsay, clerk in charge; anti trust their Lordships will grant them the promotion they so much deserve. 1 have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, THOMAS E. L. Moor, Commander. To the Secretary of the Admiralty, &c. Her Majesty's brig Plover, Choris Peninsula. Kotzebue Sound, Sept. 27, 1849. Sir,—The time having arrived for the departure of her Majesty'f, ship Herald for the southward I beg leave to take advai tsge of this opportunity to call to the notice of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty the ser vices of the several officers undermentioned, viz., Messrs. Martin, Hooper, and Lindsay, and at the same time to convey my opinion of the value I attach to their services during the last sca.or. The advantage derived from the exertions of Messrs. Hooper and Martin, in performing the various overland expeditions during the inclemency of such a season, I feel sure their Lordships will appreciate, as well as the equally praiseworthy exertions of the third officer named above (Mr. John J. Lindsay, clerk in charge), in ac quiring a knowledge of the language as Isr as was prac ticable, which grt ally facilitatei the communication of our diffn ent expeditions with the natives of the country, and by which means much useful information was ob tained. For the reasons I have above stated I feel confident in placing these officers' conduct before you for their Lordship' information, that they may receive the ad vancement to which lam sure their Lordships will admit they are entitled.—l have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, T.

The first of the letters is dated July 17, 1849, and is addressed by Commander Moore, of her 'Majesty's ship Plover, then lying off Chamisso Island, to Captain Kel lett, of the Herald, lying off Care Kmsentem. It con tains the following proposals:—'Tat on arriving off Cape Lisburn the decked boats of the Herald and hover, with a whale boat, be hoist , d out, commanded by Lieutenant Pullen and Mr. Martin, with a party of seven men in each boat, including the ice master, victualled for thirty de) s, and should explore the coast communicating with the ships in the offing, when a sefficiently large inlet should be tormedlor the ship to anchor in. On arriving off Wainwright Inlet, should none be fiend southward, two btat.a to be dispatched with seventy days' provisions, with orders to proceed as far as prudent. In the event of Wainwright Inlet proving unavailable, the ships to remain oft' the packed ice till Sept. 2.5, when, if the boats have already returned, they should sail to Chamisso Island, and if not to St. Laurence Bay.

Sir,—The following remarks are funded on their Lordships' orders to me aelwell a 3 from those to your self relative to the last expedition along the coast of Georgia : You will perceive by my first orders that their Lad ships consider light boats, or baidars, as the most eligible for prosecuting the voyage along the coast; and in my second, that they desire, in case of not meeting the Plover, whose boats are fitted for the expedition, that my launch should be in readiness to accompany the bai dars to the eastward toward Point Barrow. In your orders their Lordships also lay much stress on the description of boat to be sent,any departure, therefor', from their views on this head requires to be most maturely considered. I shall be guided entirely by your matured opinion on this subject from the experience you have hud in the navigation of icebound coat.. I consider that ' before ,any boats finally proceed, it should be decided, and the party made thoroughly ac quainted with the Plover's winter quarters. In your orders their Lordships tmphaticallr state that if no position is found for the Plover north of Kotzebue Sound, she must winter there. Your opinion, however, is, that a vessel cannot winter in Kotzebue Sound with out the danger of being carried to sea or thrown on the beach (as the Fury was) by the great drift of the floes in that sound. This being your opinion of that place for wintering, I would propose Grantloy Barbour as a more fitting place for rendering assiitince than any port outside tte Straits on the Asiatic shore. From Grantley Harbour (if travelling across the laud be practicable) the distance to Chamisso Island is but 116 miles—by the coast, 120. From your former winter quarters you were enabled, with the assistance of the na tivee, to travel to Eaat Cape—a greater distance than from Grantley to Chanisse, overland; and should you, even now that you know of the friendly disposition of the natives in your last year's quarters, be enabled to travel across the Straits on the ice, any break up of it would cut your parties off from the ship. My own opinion is, that a vessel from Oahu, fortified as you are, could reach Chamisso Island at an earlier period than a ve sel wintering where you did last season. I fully concur with you in the manner of examining the coast by the boats northerly. I consider that in consequence of Sir George Simp son's letter relative to the resources of the Hudson's Bay posts on the Mackenzie, the boats should be ordered to return to the Plover by the 21st of September. Should it be impossible to get into Wainwright's Inlet, I see no objection, and think it most advisable that the Plover should remain as far north as safety from her being blockadel ul; for the winter in the ice will per mit, returning to meet the Herald before she goes south by the 25th of September off Chamisso I do not see the necessity of the two ships remaining together after we have solved the question as to winter quarters for the Plover; the Herald's time may, after that, be usefully employed in an examination of the ice line westerly, end also of the shoals marked in Captain Beechey'a chart. The method cf examinin; the coast for a winter har bour I should propose as follows: — That perhapstlt e a ov orain a w s ter on Inlet, having your ice master and second en smallerbb (Herald's at b e d s e e c i k i t e d d i r h e o c a t t) t , o w with a whaler, cs board, with orders to re turn 0 the ships, Rs you ewe the result of their ext r y ina e ti d D eCked boat, and an propos-, in the offing. havin i °ti the coast lei " I , sure 3. to the ship andmcommuni other boat in shore, going a ong As it could be attended w ith most serious results w ere this ship to be besot in the ice, I shall trust her safety from such a di s aster .o m to y ( o l u i n r g g s greater o t er p e i experience i p o e n r s t e o n n ee t h i i n s s i u c b e etr©v I haved seas. given 3 u j e er, m ade freely, and shall expect and receive y ours i n a s i m ilar way.--I am, Sir, your obedient s ervan t, s we HENRY KELLETT, Captain. nd b - e r a M t o o a r n e y u rg ti z that t tli f e sightboats o s f ho t u h l e d s o h n ir n s o , In a It tier dated the same day, in re pl y to t h e a b ove, e aC it En h onmu r at emaining as close to the land and to the beets as consistent with safety. He further objects that, by proceeding to W a i nwr i g ht I n l e t di tee t, a l oss of lime might be incurred by the boats miesuig the ship on their return, in case of bad weather, slieuld they have f aind a convenient harbour to the south ward. In the event of finding a fit wintering place for the Plover, he proposes proceeding with the boats (two baidars and a whaler) along the coast towards the Mteltet 4ic; anA, should difficulties EC..tO3 likely to pre vent his return that yerr to the ship, to deposit one boat's provisions where they would be available in case of his being obliged to abandon the other boats and juin the ship overland. Should no refuge be found for the Plover, it is sug gested that the two decked boats, two baidars, and whale-boat, should at once proceed towards the Macken zie; and if the ice should prevent the larger boats from going on, their provisions should be buried, and the small boats prosecute the voyage, as far as they can with safety, leaving the former in a convenient place to re
