He had not asked for a party, but merely for a com panion and a servant, stating that the expenses of the journey would be trifling in comparison with the re sult which it appeared to promise. To his great disappointment the Admiralty, Clough thanking him for the suggestion, declined to undertake the execution of the plan. Lady! Franklin, however, impressed with the hope of obtaining satisfactory intelligence, requested him to carry out his proposal by private means-; and, unlimited leave of absence being granted to him by the Admiralty, he had no hesitation in responding to her desire. Lady Franklin was only able to devote 5001. to the expedition; it was there fore determined to use that money for fitting it out, and to apply to the Emperor of Russia to assist in the object. An interview with the head of the Foreign-office was obtained. Sir R. Murchison, hm s ueeffiawncati was, ,f therefore, to ae c inspireom accompany en oy h m i i the President of the Royal Geographical Society, He should bad fully entered into his views, which was alone procezA to St. Petersburgh on the lath instant to present letters, and enlist the sympathy of the Russian Government in the cause. His original plan had, however, undergone some modification. Mr. Berthold Leeman, late naturalist of the Herald, had look forward to companions p provided by the imperial service of Russia.

This plan bad receivedghis most serious attention; and if his hopes of success might seem too sanguine, the fact of his undertaking, without any pay from Government, or personal re muneration from Lady Franklin, the execution of the project, was sufficient to show that he was not merely a theorist, but a man ready to carry his plans into practical execution to the utmost of his abilities. —(Hear, hear.) In conclusion, he offered his acknowledgments to Sir R. Murckison, the patron of the undertaking; to Lord Palmerston, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Sir F. Beaufort, Mr. Robert Brown, Mr. T'onna, Mr. Addington, and Mr. Barrow, with out whose aid he could not have hoped to attain his end. Should his endeavours be attended with suc cess, the British nation would have to thank those men for lending their influence and cooperation in this truly national cause.—(Cheers.) The CidAIRMAN having invited the expression of opinion of the distinguished geographers present, Captain KELLETT, R.N., said that Lieutenant Pim, who had served with him six years, was fully com petent to the undertaking, and it would be one more stone turned which ought not to be left undone. — (Hear, hear.) It was a part of the world which ought to be searched ; and, giving Franklin credit for pursuing the object of his voyage, he would natu rally go towards Behring's Straits. Had they been anywhere short of this point we should have been certain of intelligence of so numerous a party before , this time. He was just as likely to be found on the north coast of Greenland as anywhere ; and if Lieu tenant Pim could go 10,000 miles on land, this coast also might be explored. Captain PENNY, R.N., said this was a link wanting in the chain of search. With the enthusiasm of Lieu tenant Pim he thought the search might be under taken. His opinion was that Sir J. Franklin must have advanced far towards pehring's Straits. He (Captain Penny) bad found a great quantity of drift wood in the channel leading to it ; and he thought the north coast of Asia ought to be searched. Major CARMICHAEL SMIJTI3. thought the project a feasible one. Sir WOODBINE PARISH entered into some interest ing explanations by reference to a large map, showing the practicability of the undertaking. Count WIELHORSKT, the Secretary to the Russian Embassy, promised, on the part of the Russian Go vernment, that Lieutenant Pim would receive from the Imperial Government at St. Petersburgh the best reception, and that every means would be afforded to assist him in so noble and generous an enterprise. No other gentleman wishing to address the meeting, Lieutenant Pim made a few observations in expla nation of his plan. The CHAIRMAN then moved the thanks of the meeting to Lieutenant Pim, for the lecture they had that night heard, and coupled with it the following resolution :—" That the Council of the Royal Geo graphical Society have requested the President, on their behalf, to wait on the First Lord of the Admi ralty, and make known to him the proposed expedi tion of Lieutenant Pim, the steps which have been taken by the Royal Geographical Society in behalf of that officer with the Russian authorities, and to solicit the countenance and assistance of the Ad miralty." The resolution was carried by acclamation. A Member suggested that something more sub stantial should be presented by the society to Lieut. Pim, to enable him to pursue the object he had in view; but the Chairman slid they would first try application failed, then no man would more readily what would be done by the Admiralty, and if their contribute to the cause than himself. A vote of thanks to the president closed the business of the meeting. compelled e t id butt confidence.wpar t NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

London Terminus, Nov. 3, 1851. ... £1,301 5 10 The accounts of the state of trade in the provinces during the past week show a decided tendency to reaction from the increased depression which in one or two quarters had lately begun to manifest itself. At Manchester the lowness of stocks, coupled with the tirmer tone of the Li verpool cotton-market, has apparently produced more con fidence than has prevailed for some weeks past. At Bir mingham the prospects of business with the United states, as well as the general condition of the export trade, cause continued animation. In the iron districts also there is a perceptible improvement. The hosiery manufacture at Nottingham is active, and the appearance of the woollen markets at Leeds and elsewhere seems to indicate alight revival. - • tx , or N°.18,451.] LONDON, TUESDAY #7? - ooet, _ _ ~. e Si; ; ‘ -- 11; ly ,It PUBLICATIONS.

The Executive Committee have received the instruction of her Majesty's Commissioners to an nounce that the possession of the building will be given up to Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co., the contractors, on Ist December next. "2. Tne Executive Committee have, therefore, to recommend that any exhibitors who may not yet have removed their goods or fittings should do so without further delay, as it will not be in the power of the Executive Committee to afford any assistance to ex hibitors after that date. On the Ist December the staff of the Executive Committee will be withdrawn, and the cranes, platforms, and various appliances for assisting the exhibitors removed. " 3. Any exhibitors who permit their articles, after the Ist December, remain in the building, must apply to the contractors, and make their own ar rangements as to the hours, &c., for admittance, &c. " 4. It must be distinctly understood that, like her Majesty's Commissioners, the contractors, during any period they may suffer the exhibitors' goods to re main in the building, will not be responsible for any loss or damage, or for accidents which may arise from the necessity of removing the goods from one part of the building to another, and collecting the re maining articles into one spot. " By order of the Executive Committee, " M. DIGBY WYATT, Secretary." The following farewell letter has been received by the Executive Committee of the Exhibition of Industry of All Nations from Mr. Riddle, the United States ' Commissioner, previous to his departure for New York : " United States' Office, London, Nov. 8, 1851. " Gentlemen,—As my official duties in the Crystal Palace have now ceased, I shall take my departure for America on the 12th inst. 1 cannot allow myself to go hence without tendering to you my sincere and heartfelt acknowledgments for the many acts of kindness, courtesy, and attention I have received at your hands, and for the unform prompt ness with which you have responded to all communications emanating from this commis sion. Indeed, in my humble opinion, the success of the Great Exhibition may be mainly attributable to the admirable and indefatigable management of your committee, and the limited number of gentlemen of which it was composed, thereby preventing colli sions ; which would inevitably have occurred had the whole responsibility been entrusted to a larger body of directors. While I have received every assistance from officers under your direction, there is one who has been high in authority, and of whom I cannot speak in too high terms of praise—l allude to Captain Owen, of the Royal Engineers. The eve n tem p er,, and calm, ' dignified demeanour he has observed on all trying and pressing occasions, are worthy the highest commendation ; and, for one, I am proud to bear wit ness of the energetic and impartial manner in which he has discharged his arduous duties. " Wishing each and all of you, gentlemen, that con tinued success to which your brilliant talents so justly entitle you, "1 have the honour to subscribe myself, " Very respectfully, your obedient servant, (Signed) " EDWARD RIDDLE, "United States'Commissioner to Industrial Exhibition."

FOURTH DAY—MONDAY. —The proceedings in this case were appointed to be resumed this morning, and the Court met at eleven o'clock. Increased interest was manifested, the court being completely filled. As soon as the Earl of Carlisle had taken his seat, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins said that so much indulgence had been granted to him that he was almost ashamed to ask for any more, but he and his Learned Friends had been occupied for two mornings up to four o'clock, and the whole of yesterday, although Sunday, in pre paring for Mr. Ramshay's defence, but they were not quite prepared, and he therefore trusted that his Lord ship would allow him till to-morrow morning. Mr. Monk, on the part of the memorialists, said he had no wish whatever to press on these important proceed ings, but he hoped they would not be protracted un necessarily. If they went beyond Wednesday next, he could not possibly attend on Thursday. As in dulgence was about to be given to his Learned Friend, he hoped it might also be extended to him should he desire time to prepare any remarks in reply. The Earl of Carlisle said that, although attended with some inconvenience, he could not refuse the applica tion, under the circumstances, but it must be fully understood that the defence must he entered upon to morrow. The Court then adjourned till to-morrow (Tuesday), at half-past ten o'clock. CORONERS INQUEST.—DREADFUL CASE OP STAB BING BY A SAILOR —Yesterday afternoon the inquiry, ad journed from Thursday last, was resumed, and concluded before Mr. Baker, at the London Hospital, relative to the death of James Brabbas, aged 21, a seaman, who was stabbed by a seaman named Joseph Clinton , belong in g to the collier brig Clayton, of South Shields, lately lying in the Regent's Canal Dock, and who died in the above institution on Tues day last from the effects of the injury. Several witnesses were examined, and a verdict of " Manslaughter" was re turned against Joseph Clinton. The corroner issued his warra nt for his committal to Newgate, and the witnesses were bound over to prosecute. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. We have been favoured by the Hudson's Bay Com pany with the following copy of e dispatch received from Dr. Rae, dated Juno 10, cottaining an account of a journey (preparatory to his beat expedition) from Great Bear Lake to the Arctic coest, and thence over the ice to Wollaston Land. ei Dr. Rae, it will be seen, found aotgaces, Glad could learn no intelligence of Sir John Feisnklin's expedi tion. i i SIR GEORGE SIMPSON, GOVERNOR -IN. MEP, HUDSON ' S BAY COMPANY ' S TERIar IFS. Provision Static); endall River, 10th Sir,—l .have the honour to acq' aint you that I arrived at this place to-day from e Arctic coast, Juae'lBsl. with my two men, having been sent forty-two farthe a s longitudedays, during which the shore of - Wollaston Land was examined to as eastwardof with out finding any strait or passage l ea ing to the north, and without seeing any traces of Silt John Franklin's longitudelldeg.ll7l 1r i 0 i d i I T ~ westward party, or obtaining any tidings of th e m from the Es quimaux we met with. I left Fort Confidence on the 25th April, accompa nied by four men, with three sledgqs drawn by dogs, and a small sledge drawn by the men alternately, in which our provisions and baggage 'ere stowed. We reached this station on the 27th, teed were detained two days by stormy weather. Thil time was profit ably employed in arranging our baggage and stores, repairing and strengthening our sledges, and in recruit ing the dogs. On the 30th, everything being in readiness, and the weather fine, I started for the coast with two men (Beads and Linklater), and two sledges drawn by five dogs. A fatigue party of three men and two dogs accompanied us to within half a day's march of the coast. In consequence of a great thaw that had occurred the previous week, which cleared much of the ground of snow, the travelling was extremely bad, and although long detours were made to find a good road for the sledges, they got much injured by the stones. On the Ist May, we put en cache for our return journey a little pemican and flour, and next day, when 10 miles from the coast, the fatigue party was sent back. After experiencing much difficulty in crossing some deep ravines, we reached the shore of Richardson Bay, about 5 miles west of the mouth of the Coppermine, near mid-day, when I was most happy to find that, as far as visible, the ice to sea ward was not unfavourable for travelling. Being, desirous of walking during the night to prevent the glare of the sun on the snow inflaming the eyes, we commenced our journey at 10 P.M. on the 21 The weather was unpleasant, with a strong breeze of cold north wind, as we directed our course as straight as possible for Point Lockyer. The ice being smooth, and the snow hard, we advanced ra pidly until 8 A.M. on the 3d, when we stopped for the day in latitude, by observation, 68 deg. 8 min. 44 sec. N. The building of an excellent snow-house occu pied us an hour and three quarters, during which our simple cooking was going on, so that no time might be lost. On,the 4th we encamped on the beach five miles north of Point Lockyer, where we found some wood for cooking, and as the weather was fine, no snow-hut was required; the wind was, however, still sharp, and a temperature of 10 deg. made a shelter in the form of a semi-circular wall of snow agreeable. At 9h. 15m. r ei., we were again on foot, our course being directed towards the N.W. end of Douglas Island, on which we landed at 3h. sm. A.M., on the sth, when we cooked a kettle of pemican and flour with some wood picked up, and put en cache a quantity of pro visions for our return. After two hours stay, we re sumed our march in a nearly N.E. direction. At the same hour as on the previous evening we commenced our night's march, and a walk of lei miles brought us to a low point covered with debris of sandstone and limestone, and a few boulders of granite. The land was so low that from our snow-house it appeared much more distant. We now turned eastward, but had much difficulty in keeping along shore, as there were several small bays and islets, among which, in the hazy weather, we had some trouble to find our way. Under these circumstances, rather than lose time uselessly, I determined to travel overland due east, leaving the coast to be traced when returning, at which time the thawing of the snow would have laid bare a greater extent of the shore, and made it more easy to define. On our second day's march, over an uninteresting track of low ground, swamp, and lakes, we arrived at the coast at six Am. on the 7th, nearly opposite to some large rocky islands, and at a place where the shore presented a high sloping front. After two hours walk to the east by north alongshore, we built our snow hut in let. 68 deg. 31 nun. 42 sec. N., long. 111 deg. 30 min. W ~ under, a steep bank, surmounted by some whitish limestone,: and reddish brown sandstone in situ. Here, during, the interval between taking the observations for time and latitude, I shot ten hares. These fine animals were very large and tame, and several more might have been killed, as well as many partridges, had I thought it expedient to follow them. 7th and Bth May. Our course for the first five miles of this night's march was nearly E.S.E. until we rounded a long point, and crossed a deep bay in an east direction, some large islands )ying outside at% couple of miles' distance from shore, but gradually approaching it to within half a mile as we advanced westward. The islands I named after the dis tinguished naturalist and traveller, Sir John Richard son. The islands, as well as the adjacent coast, were high, rocky, and in many places precipitous. Speci mens of the rocks have been preserved. The land now turned imperceptibly nothward to N. 40 E., in which direction we proceeded 4 miles to the entrance of a narrow inlet, on the west side of which, in let. 68 deg. 88 min. 5 sec., long. 110 deg. 50 min. we stopped at half-past eight A.M., bat built no snow hut, as the weather was not bad. Previous to taking the noon observation, and whilst sup?er was cooking, I examined the inlet, hoping to find it a passage lead ing to the northward, but a walk of 2/ miles unde ceived me ; several deer were sees, but as we had abundance of provisions no attempt was made to approach them. Oa the night of the Bth the weather was so stormy, with thick snow, that we could not travel, we therefore built a snow-house and made ourselves comfortable, occupy-1 ing our time repairing shoes, making up calculations, &c. Next night, the weather having become better, we resumed our march and travelled nearly three miles, rather to the southward of east, then east one and a half mile, after which we crossed a point two miles broad in the same direction. We now tra versed a considerable bay with low shores, our course being E. by N. To this bay I gave the name of Welbank, after one of the directors of the Hudson's Bay Company. As we travelled onwards the land continued low and had an easterly trending during the remainder of our night's walk, which was not con tinued so long as usual, the weather being extremely cold for the season. The thermometer showed a tempe rature of 22 degrees below zero, which made the shelter of our snow-hut more than usually acceptable. One of the men got rather deeply frost-bitten in the face, and the taking of a set of lunar distances was rather unpleasant work. I have generally found, indeed, that a temperature which, in winter, would be pleasant, is in the latter part of spring, almost insupportably cold. The latitude of our posi tion was 613 deg. 3 7 m in. 48 sec. N., by observation ; l ong itude, by account, 110 deg. 2 min. The furthest point of land, about six miles distant, bore E.S.E., so that it appeared unnecessary to travel further in this direction, as my survey and that of Messrs. Deese and Simpson must have met here, al. though our latitudes do not agree, mine being some distance south of theirs. There were now two modes of proceeding open to me—the one being to strike overland to the north in search of the sea-coast, the other to return along the coast and travel westwards, in hopes that some of the , . and left blank in the charts, spaces of Wollaston L m ight prove to be the de sired strait . I chose the latter of these modes, because to travel overland in a northerly direction would be very difficult and fa tiguing, and would always be ays be getting more so, as the ridges of land (most o f which were already clear of snow) lay across our line of route, so that a few days of warm weather would have made travelling with difficult sledges and dogs very , if not wholly imprac ticable. The night of the 10th was very stormy, with thick snow drift, but the wind being in our backs we commenced our return to our previous day's resting place. After walking some time we fell upon our old track, which saved me much trouble in taking bearings, as they would have been often requi site, the snow being so thick that we could not see to the distance of twenty yards. After a very cold but smart walk of rather more than seven hours' d ura ti on , we were glad to find ourselves snug under cover of our old quarters—our clothes being penetrated in every direction with the finely powdered snow. The weat her on the ni g ht of the 11th continued so bad, that we were obliged to re main indoors, but the following night was fine enough to allow us to proceed westward by our for mer track. Our journey to Douglas Island was favourable. The coast, from lat. 68 deg. 31 min. 40 sec. N., and long. 113 deg. 5 min. was, with the ex ception of one high rocky point, low and indented c3ted et abet bt ed ,cea if „ d er - of ere' Ate t bell aV I P 13 of j;DI' London : Longman, Brown, Green, and Longman ONE-VOLUME EDITION OF MR.

The weather continued good, so that we arrived at the N.W. extremity of Douglas Island at a few minutes to eight A.M. on the Isth, where we found abundance of drift weed to cook with. As to return by Douglas Island would lead us out of the straight road homewards, when we started on the 16th for Wollaston Land, we carried with us the provisions we had previously put en cache. We di rected our course to the most distant visible point, bearing about N.N.W., and found that it was nine miles distant, but in reaching it we were delayed by rough ice, in rounding which we increased the length of our walk very much, and a very heavy fall of snow stopped our further advance. Our next night's journey was rather long to make up for the time lost by the bad weather. For thirteen miles our course was about N.N.W. along a series of bays and points; the coast the❑ ran north for some distance, and afterwards, slightly to the eastward until we encamped on a small peninsula near the head of the bay, in lat. 69 deg. 1.00 long. 113.25, both by account. 17th and 18th May we walked for 2 miles N. 28 deg. west, which brought us to a point on which we deposited some pemican, &c., having made another cache about seven miles from our former day's sleeping place. We also left here a small sledge on which I had hauled, from 35 to 50 lb. since leaving Richardson's Bay, two days excepted. We now traversed a deep and wide bay in a direction N. 40 W. towards some high hills, which appeared to be not very far off; but finding that we could not reach the coast there, I turned more to the northward, and ended our night's walk on the west point of a small bay, in lat 69 deg. 17 min. 30 sec., long. 114 deg. 7W. Being anxious to discover bow the land looked to the northward, and as a high hill, about thirteen miles inland, would afford the opportunity of obtaining a very dis tant view; our next day's journey along shore was only five and a half miles, the course being west. Here I left the dogs and baggage under the care of one of the men, whilst with the other I set out for the hill already mentioned; but unfortunately the walking was so bad, that although we were quite unencumbered, we could get no farther than ten miles, when we returned, rather fatigued, to our sleeping place. Many partridges (Tetrao :Midas) were seen, but they were so shy that only eleven were shot. These birds are large, and fine eating. To the large bay we had just traced, and to a range of hills, of which the most prominent is the one I at tempted to reach, I gave the names of Simpson and Colville, in honour of the Governor-in-Chief and Governor of the Hudson's Bay Company's territories. During the journey of the 19th and 20th the trend ing of the coast was still to the west, as far as our sleeping place, on a point with high limestone cliffs, hit. 69 deg. 15.54 N., long. 115 deg. 24.54 W. The next night our course was to the north of west until within a mile or two of the end of our night's walk, which was nearly in a north direction to the head of a small bay, where we took up our quarters in lat. 69 deg. 24. 47., long. 116 deg. 23. 34. On the 21st and 22d we travelled nearly at N.W. for five miles, which brought us to a cape, with lime stone cliff, at least 170 feet high. This Cape was named after Captain Hamilton, R.N., Secretary to the Admiralty. A couple of miles to seaward there were thirteen Esquimaux lodges, and we had an amicable interview with the good harmless inhabitants, who were rather timid at first, but soon gained confidence. It was difficult to make them understand that no return was expected from some presents I made them. None of the women showed themselves, but all the men were well and cleanly dressed in deer-skin. They were all very fat, having evidently abundance of seals, flesh, and fat, large quantities of which were carefully de posited in seal skin bags under the snow. We pur chased a quantity of this for our, dogs, and some boots, shoes, and seal skins for our own use. After a most friendly interchange of signs and words, few of which could be understood on either side, we parted, after six of them had walked some distance with us, both parties apparently equally well pleased with the meeting. Our course was now N. 36 deg. W., across a bay eleven miles wide, the north side of which was bounded by a curiously shaped point which I called Pullen, after the commander in the navy of that name, who successfully performed the voyage from the west ward of Point Barrow to the Mackenzie River in 1829. To the bay the name of Lady Richardson was given. Three miles further in the same direction brought us to an island, which was the terminus of our night's journey. This land is high but not rocky, and about 3i miles long. It received the name of Bell, after a chief trader in the Hudson's Bay Company's service ; near it to the east there is a small islet covered with large pieces of rugged lime stone. Next night our course for 7 miles was N. 33 deg. E. to a point with limestone precipice, 70 or 80 feet high. The coast then rounded up to the northward until it attained a true north direction, and for a mile before we ended our night's walk, a N.N.E. course into a small bay, where we rested for the day in lat. 70 deg. 00 min. 23 sec. N,, long. 117 deg. 15 min. 35 sec. W. . The period I had allowed for our outward journey having now arrived, I left our dogs and one of the men here, whilst with the other I travelled half a day's journey farther. At 8 hr. 30 min. on the 23d night was beautiful, as we started with no other incumbrance than a gun, telescope, and compass, so that we travelled fast over the hard snow and ice. After walking two miles to the N.W., we turned a cape, which received the name of Baring, in honour of the First Lord of the Admiralty, beyond which tho cost took a sudden bend to E. by N. for eight . miles, and then became more northerly for 6/ miles, which was the furthest point reached. A high cape, which was called after Sir George Back, bore N. 73 deg. E., about 7/ miles distant, and bounded our view of the coast in that direction. Near the place from which I turned back the land was fully 300 feet high, from which objects could be seen at a great distance, and some land 15 or 20 miles off was observed, the most westerly point bear ing N. 25 deg. W., the view of its more distant eas tern extremity being obstructed by Cape Back. It is difficult to determine whether the water di viding these two shores is a bay or a strait, but from the little information I could obtain from the Esqui maux, I suspect it to be the latter. Unfortunately, want of time (as the interests of the summer voyage with the boats required my presence at this place) would not allow me to decide this question. Our return was effected at the same quick pace as our out ward journey, and we arrived at our bivouac, after an absence of ten hours, with excellent appetites for supper, to which, as usual, we did ample justice. On the 24th May, at 8.25 P.M. we commenced our homeward route, the details of which I shall not trouble you with, merely remarking that the bearings and distances were carefully checked, and several ob servations for lat. variation and time obtained, which the cloudy state of the weather prevented being taken previously. Where the depth of the bays were at all doubtful I made a circuit round them, whilst the men and dogs followed the straight route. We had several more interviews with the Esqui maux, all equally friendly as the first. At one of the tents two of the women made their appearance, and were not in the slightest degree timid. All the land near the coast from Cape Lady Frank lin to Cape Baring is so extremely barren, that although many deer cross from the main, they do not remain near the shore, but make their way directly inland, too far for persons, travelling as we were, and abun dantly supplied with food, to follow them. On the 30th May we reached our cache of the 16th, and found it, as well as two others, perfectly safe, notwithstanding that one or perhaps all of them had been seen by the Esquimaux. On the night of the 30th we crossed over, in as direct a line as the rough ice would permit, to the high rocky point north of Cape Krusenstern, travers ing a portion of Lambert Island on the way. Next night we reached the south side of Point Lockyer, where a laughing goose (Anser Albifron) was shot, and water was obtained without thawing snow. On the 2i of June the extremity of Cape Hearne formed our head. quarters, at which place eleven geese, all in fine condition, were killed. Being anxious to know if a deposit of provisions, left in icy Cove by Sir John Richardson in 1848, and examined by . me in 1849, were still safe, I deviated half a day's journey from our direct route in order to visit it; but a deep snow-drift prevented my attain. ing my object. As the Esquimaux appear to have a great respect for caches of any kind, I believe it is still quite safe, unless destroyed by wet or the barren ground bear, Our next sleeping place was seven miles N.W. of Cape Kendall. Here ten geese were shot, and double that number might have been got had we re quired them. At 7.50 A.M. on the 4th of June, we encamped on the south shore of Richardson Bay, two miles cast of where we stopp e d on th e 2d Ma During the last two days ther e was muc h water y. on the ice, and it was evidently high time that our journey should be approaching its conclusion. As the consumption of provisions for the coast journey itm u ay sed no i t u be th o ir ut of place mention days beganth the here, quantity that was 541bs. of flour, and 1081b s . pemican 'Y- or nearly 21bs. for each person, per diem, with llbs. tea, 21bs. chocolate, and 101b3. sugar, for all the party during the same time. We stayed a day here to arrange loads for 0u selves and dogs, and t o ma k e a cache among th e r - rocks of 301bs. pemican, 201b s . grease (fuel reinai ing), and several other things which we did not re quire to carry with us. On the sth of June, between 9 and 10 e.az., we started for the Kendall, lightly laden, and came on to within four miles of our cache of provisions made on the Ist of May. One of the men was sent to exa mine it, but found that everything, except an axe, had been either eaten or destroyed by a barren ground bear. We saw a very large one next day, probably the very fellow that had robbed us, but he was too wary to allow us to get within shot of him —possibly he may be less successful in avoiding us on our re turn to the coast. On the 9th when nine miles from this, a large musk bull was shot, and his flesh was found excellent—the skeleton will be preserved. A short time after midday on the 10th we arrived here, having been five days coming from the coast, during some of which we were fourteen hours on foot, and continued wading through ice-cold water or wet snow, which was too deep to allow our Esquimaux boots to be of any use. The latter part of our journey, if not the most fatiguing, was by far the most disagreeable. Through every hollow and valley, a stream, more or less large, flowed, some of them so deep and rapid, that we had often to walk three or four miles out of our course to ,find a ford, and even then it was so difficult to keep on our feet, that one of the men fell and lost our cooking utensils, plates, pans, and spoons, so that for two days we were compelled to use stones am substi tutes. Our principal food was geese,•partridges, and lem mings. The latter being very fat and large, were very fine when roasted before the fire or between two stones. These little animal were migrating north wards, and were so numerous that our dogs, as they trotted on, killed as many as supported them without any other food. The dogs did their work well considering their leanness when we set out—had they been in better condition, I have no hesitation in saying that our daily journeys would have been three or four miles longer. We were frequently delayed by rough ice, but when this happened, we made up for lost time by, additional exertion either on the same or subsequent days. I subjoin a note of the daily and total dis tances travelled, counting this place as our starting point. I beg to enclose a very rough tracing of the coast examined ; it has been done in great haste, and with.- out pretensions to great accuracy, as I have many of my calculations to revise, and several sets of lunar distances to work out. Some islands are also omitted, and the positions of others may require alteration. In conclusion, permit me to observe that the con duct of the two men who accompanied me has been excellent, and they, as well as myself, are in a much better state for commencing another such journey than when we left Fort Confidence. Apologising for the hurried manner in which this is written, my only excuse being the anxiety I feel that it should be sent off with the least possible delay, I have the honour to remain, sir, your most obedient servant, (Signed) JOHN RA.E.

At the first ordinary meeting of the Royal Geogra phical Society, held last evening at their rooms, Waterloo-place, a highly interesting paper was read by Lieutenant rim, proposing a search for Sir John Franklin in another direction. Sir R. Murchison, Bart., the president of the society, took the chair. There . were present—Chevalier Bunsen, the Prussian Ambassador, with several distinguished Germans ; Count Wielhorsky, of the Russian embassy ; W. R. Hamilton, Esq., former president of the society ; Captain Fitzroy, R.N., Captain H. Kellett, R.N., R. Brown, Esq., president of the Linnasan Society ; Cap tain Penny, R.N., Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort, Colonel Lloyd, Colonel Neil Campbell, Captain Scorld and several Egyptian gentlemen, Mr. Rennie, Major Carmichael Stnijth, &c. The CHAIRMAN expressed his gratification at seeing so crowded an attendance at their opening meeting, and said the Government ought to provide a better place of meeting for the Royal Geographical Society, and he hoped this would be done before long. He read letters from the Grand Duke Constantine and the Crown Prince of Sweden, who had been elected members of the society ; and, in alluding to the im portant subject about to be laid before the meeting by Lieutenant Pim, read a letter which he (Sir R. Murchison) had addressed to the Grand Duke Con stantine on the subject. Lieutenant BEDFORD CLAPPERTON PIM said he would commence by stating the circumstances which led him to the belief that the missing ships were to be found, not on the coast of America, but on that of Asia. While on board hex Majesty's ships Herald and Plover, the fate of Sir John Franklin was daily the subject of consideration ; and he was struck with the fact that the plans of relief adopted were based on the supposition that the Erebus and Terror had failed in the very commencement of their voyage. He was convinced that Sir John Franklin would not be found on the threshold of the north •west passage, and applied himself to the consideration of where he would have to be looked for. He was impressed with the fact that Wrangel and Anjou had found an open sea, in the cold season, in a comparatively high lati tude. In support of this view he read an extract from a letter lately received from Admiral Sir Francis Beaufort, in which that officer stated his conviction that, if the Erebus and Terror should succeed in passing through Wellington Channel, they would find the Northern Ocean completely free from ice, and find it an easy matter to penetrate to the west ward. Franklin's difficulties would therefore com mence when, having made his westing, he might en deavour to haul to the southward for Behring's Straits ; for Cook, Beechey, Kellett, and all navigators who had passed through that opening, found the soundings decrease on approaching the southern edge of the ice, making it almost demonstrable that a bank of some hundreds of miles in length, and most likely rising up into many islands, stretched across from west to ea s t. If those ships, therefore, did find their way through Wellington Channel, they had got into some laby rinth of ice and islands abreast of Behring's Straits, or further west on the flats off the coast of Siberia. From that opinion of Sir F. Beaufort, and taking all other circumstances into consideration, it appeared to h m i t t e h ri a t C S h i r a a J. ne attained Franklin had tthe e passed iio iy m a , through and W e I - would then naturally steer to the westward; and when reaching the meridian of Behring's Straits, would re enter the ice, in order to penetrate to the Pacific Ocean. Difficulties, ho wever , would again impede his progress. Embedded in the frozen masses which had checked th e a d vance of every navigator from the earliest winds and to the present currents,tim ' he would rendering i t problematical b a l t e t m h a e tal mercy ofthe to which coast he would be driven —to that of the new or the old world. The endurance, hardihood, and courage of Richardson, Kellett, Pullen, and Rae, had afforded negative evidence that it was not the coast of North America to which we must look for a solution of the question—what has become of Sir John Franklin ? The next place to which attention turned was Siberia. Wrangel's narrative, proving that pieces of wreck had been found on the Asiatic shores, and historical a cc ounts stating that various Russian expeditions experienced the greatest _difficu a lt d y e iitn pe netrating even a short distance easterly, evi dent that the very cause producedwhiberhingabeutan m that effect on the Russian vessels woul d h c a o p n p s e e n q u t toe n b t l e y a , b t o h u a t t result on any the meridian of Behr' ships w 'n h g i ' c s h St m ra lg it i s 'it ; a well-organized searc h of the Asiatic shores wo uld afford results highly satisfactory. The Herald, a ft er an absence of six years, having returned to England, after three times visiting Behring's Straits, without more success than the squadrons on the Eastern side of America, and the fate of Franklin being still w rapped in mystery, he considered it his duty to make known that conviction, and to submit to the Lords of the Admiralty a plan for obtaining traces of the missing expedition. This proposal was to start on the 15th of this month, and to travel by way cf 9 1 o' 0 , J o 0 e' e r a 10 1'w ,
