THE LATE MURDER IIV MARYLEBONE. Yesterday Thomas Bare was brought up from the House of Detention, Clerkenwell, for re-examination, before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Broughton, at the Marylebone Police Court, on the charge of having murdered Louisa Bare, his wife, by stabbing her with a triangular saw file. An immense number of persons had congregated in the vicinity of the court, anxious to catch a glimpse of the accused, and when the Government van drew up at the back entrance in Paradise -street the mob rushed en masse towards the vehicle. Many constables were, as upon former occasions, in attendance to preserve order, and the prisoner, after alighting, amid hisses and the loudest execrations, was conveyed to one of the lock -up rooms, in which he was to remain until the night charges were disposed of. At half -past three the prisoner was placed at the bar, and the court at that period was crowded to ex cess ; he was much more pale than when brought up in the first instance; but his perfect composure and self. possession, after the array hfearful of evidence which were present.ad already been adduced, surprised most of those who Inspector Jackson, of the D division, was as ked by the magi s t ra t e what fresh evi d ence he had in con nexion with th e horrid affa ir , and he brou g ht forward a most imp or t ant witness, .was unable from i ness to attend before, her inc apa city . to do s o ar i s i ng from the fright and hock which her system bad sus tained. Selina Beckett, the witness alluded to, and who was still in a very weak state, was accommodated with a seat; she was sworn, and live at 33, North-street; my husband i s a pr i nter. •I lodge i n the first floor front room. I knew a w o man o_man (the prisoner's wife), w h o went b y the name o Nott • she lodged in the back r oom nex t to mine. She wa s ' i the habit of going out t o wor k at a b out eight in the morning, and came home very regularly between eight and nine. Mr. BROUGHTON—Do you knew the prisoner ? Witness—Yes; he is there (pointing to the bar) ; be is the man who committed the murder. Mr. BROUGHTON—When did you first see him ? Witness—On the Saturday night when the murder took place. Mr. BROUGHTON—At what time did you see him Witness—At a few minutes after nine. Mr. BROUGHTON—Do you know anything that took place in the parlour ? Witness—No. Mr. BROUGHTON—Now, tell me all you know with respect to this dreadful affair. Witness—The deceased came in at about nine, and I,heerd her go up stairs. I also heard the footsteps of a man following her, but I took no particular notice of the circumstance at the time, as the man used to come to the house frequently. The man who fol lowed her went into the room, and I heard the door shut, and presently there was some loud talking as if the parties were quarrelling. Deceased said to the man who had gone upstairs with her, "Don't make any noise to disturb the other lodgers ;" and after that I heard him (prisoner) say, " You know that you and the woman who lives with you are nothing better than common prostitutes." He ac cused his wife of having been drinking on the pre vious Saturday at a low public-house, with some more bad women, and she made answer, " So help me God, I was not there, but if you'll sit down I'll explain everything to you ;" upon which he exclaimed "God d-- you, I know enough of you already. I don't want you to explain anything more." After that he said, " I want nothing of you but my boxes, and, so help me God, I won't leave this house without them." He called her a b-- b--, and as soon as I heard that, I ran down and spoke to the landlady, telling her that there was dreadful quarrelling upstairs. The landlady was at that period looking out at the door for the police. I went up to my own room, pulled to the door, and directly afterwards I heard a woman scream "Murder!" I ran out, and on looking into the prisoner's room, the door of which was open, I saw aim strike the deceased with all his might, near the windo v, with his right hand. Mr. BROUGHTON—CouId you see whether he had any instrument in his hand, or not ? Witness—l could not. Mr. BROUGHTON—Did you go into the apartment Witness—l did, Sir, while deceased was still scream ing " Murder !" I heard her say to the prisoner, " Don't murder me." These were the last words she spoke. I saw the prisoner hit her with great force several times after he had thrown her down, and when she fell upon the fender, with her head reclining on it, and while apparently quite insensible, he gave her three or tour more blows as bard as he could. He then passed by me and walked out of the room, and went down stairs. By Mr. BROUGHTON—After she fell upon the fen der she never spoke or moved. Witness, in continua tion, said—When the prisoner passed me he went out at the front door. While he was striking the deceased in his room I said to him, "Oh, pray take away y o ur things, but don't hurt th e poor creature:' After he bad quitted I saw a quantity of blood streaming from the deceased's forehead, and there was a great deal of blood also by the fireplace. Deceased's eyes were fixed, and I was sure she was dead. I hastened down to the landlady, who instantly repaired to the room, and on my entering it in ten minutes afterwards, I found the poor creature lying on the floor, life being quite extinct. Witness further said, in reply to ques tions from the prisoner, a man used to come almost every evening to see the deceased between a quarter and half-past eight o'clock. He sometimes left at ten, but never later than twelve. A woman named Hands lived with the deceased and slept with her. They worked at the same shop, and generally came home together. Mr. Fell (the chief clerk)—Was Hands generally in the room when the men you speak of came? Wit ness—Yes, always, except when she went out for a short time to get some refreshment. Mr. Fell—Was the there on the night of the mur der ? Witness—Yes ; but she did not come in till twelve o'clock. Mr. BROUGHTON (to Inspector Jackson)—ls Mrs. Hinds here ? Inspector—She is not, Sir, and it will perhaps be some time before she will be able to leave the infirmary. Mr. BROUGHTON (to the witness Beckett)—Did you ever see anything irregular in the conduct of the deceased ? Witness—Never, Sir ; quite the con trary. Inspector Jackson here said—" I find from the in quiries which I have instituted respecting her that she has been for a long time a hard-working and industri ous woman, but that the prisoner has been jealous of her for some years past." The prisoner cross-questioned the witness Beckett, who in reply to him said—There was no one in your room but you and your wife; the boy was outside with a box, and you had opened the door fur him to take it out. After the box was taken away I heard no words, but I did hear loud screams. I never heard that either of the women was a fortune-teller. Prisoner—l have nothing more to say to you. (Addressing the magistrate)—ls Mrs. Hands to be examined to-day ? Mr. BROUGHTON—No, she is too ill, she is in the infirmary. Prisoner—Then I have no other questions to ask. (He here sat down, and rested his head upon his hands on the bar, yet at the same time did not betray the slightest emotion.) Some additional particulars were gone into corro borativelin some degree of those which bad preceded the present inquiry. Mr. BROUGHTON then gave the prisoner to under of s ovolu m inou s a that as th e d e p os iti ons we re a nature, a n d as th e sess i ons were now o not be sent f o r t r i a l un til the next sess ion of he w ould the Cen tral Criminal Court, which would comm ence up again on the 15th of December; be would be broug ht on Monday next, w hen the whole of the evide nce given against him wo u ld be read over, and he would then be sent to take h is trial for the wilful murder of his wife. He was then locked up, and while being removed from his cell to the pri son van he narrowly es c ap e d being roughly treated by an immense mob. SUICIDE OF A LUNATIC.—On Saturday an inquest was held in Bethlem Hospital, on the body of Matilda Maunde Durant, single woman, aged 43, a lunatic, who was found suspended, on Thursday, by two sheets, which she had attached to the aperture over the door of one of the sleeping rooms. Mr. W. Wood, resident surgeon, said that deceased never showed symptoms of her intentions to destroy herself. She was admitted about four months ago, and was allowed to walk in the lower gallery, the apartment for peaceable patients. Matilda Law, deceased's cousin, said, before deceased was received into the institution, she was under the impression that she was a traitor to the Queen, and that in consequence she was going to be executed. On one occasion she remained in her room eleven weeks from the effects of that delusion, when she suddenly destroyed all her furniture and wearing apparel, and came to witness nearly naked. She showed witness her neck, which was full of scratches, and she stated that she had been trying to kill herself. Coroner—What do you think was the exciting cause? Witness—Jealousy. She was attached to a gentle man con nexion holding been situationen broken o under ff. On Monday Government, last but the co witness n- spoke to her about obtaining her rel ease, when she observed that h uild i n t g , w w o h u i l e d h w n o o t u d h a d p e p s e t destroy y a s it, go to the when there sheErere wouldfires round the Virgin Mary.

EARLY SK ATING.—An old-fashioned Winter appears to have set in, and we are led to infer that the na tural Indications of " plentiful fieldfares and winter berries" will be verified. The enthusiastic in skating is already anticipating the pleasure of " Lakes and streamlets, hid Beneath the cover of an icy lid." The present is an appropriate season for ILYA M and Co. to dwell on the style and general excellence of their Winter Wrappers, &c. All the warmth requisite for a season of inclemency and for open air recreation will be found in HYAM and Co.'s new Winter Over coats, while the ease and adaptation brought to bear in style and fit are such as to aid, instead of retard the facile movements and evolu tions of the wearer while exercising on the ice. HYAM and Co. supply these articles in every variety of style, and the Overcoats of the proprietors, together with every other descrip tion of Winter Costume, are acknowledged to be the most perfect samples of Winter Dress. Conformity to a principle of economy is one of H YAM and Co.'s distinguishing recommendations, and gentle men will find it to their advantage to make their purchases as below.

" Sir,—ln acquainting you with the great benefit which I have ex perienced by taking BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, I feel that I am but performing a duty to that portion of the public who may be similarly affected. " About twenty years since I was first attacked by rheumatic gout in my hands and feet. I had previously been subjected to every va riety of climate, having served in Canada in the 19th Dragoons, and in Spain, under Sir John Moore, in the 18th Hussars. I always pro cured the best medical aid, without obtaining any essential relief, and my sufferings can be appreciated only by those who know some thing of this disease. " It was during ono of those paroxysms, between twelve and thir teen years ago, that I was recommended to try BLAIR'S PILLS. I lost no time in procuring a box, and before I had taken that quantity the pain had entirely ceased, and in a few days I was in perfect health. "From that moment, whenever I feel any symptoms of the dis ease approaching, I have instant recourse to this medicine, which to sae is so valuable, that were it not that the days of magic have ceased, I should certainly attribute the relief I obtain to that cause. Moreover, I rejoice to say that my health has not in any degree suf fered, but on the contrary I believe the tendency of BLAIR'S PILLS is towards its Improvement. "I have recommended the Pills to many friends, and the result has always been of the most gratifying character. " I am, Sir, yours respectfully, GARRET FOSTER GILL. " To Mr. Prout, 229, Strand." For every description of Gout and Rheumatism, Sciatica, Tic-dolo reux, &c., &c., BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS aro a sove r e ign remedy, contain neither mercury, opium, or any oth er dangerous drug, require no care whatever in their use, and ter ra pidity of cure and complete safety have not their equal in the world.

As the memorial was of some length, they thought it desirable not to trespass upon the time of the First Lord of the_ Treasury by reading it in his presence, but to request the Bishop of London, in presenting it, to state generally the object in view. On the deputation being introduced, they found the Chancellor of the Exchequer with Lord J. Russell. The Bishop of LONDON proceeded to explain that the gentlemen present were a deputation from the Metropolitan Sanitary Association, attending to pre sent a memorial relatiik to intramural interments. They thought themselves entitled to take this liberty because the association had'apaerted themselves for these two or three years witt a view of removing obstacles to sanitary improethiefits in the metropolis, and particularly with regard to intramural interments, upon which, as they conceived, they had furnished useful evidence and to a certain extent enlightened the public mind, and contributed to remove prejudices likely to interfere with the application of an effectual remedy. A Bill had been prepared by the General Board of Health, with, it was understood, the con currence of the Government, and that Bill received the sanction of Parliament in the session before last ; but though it had been in force as a statute for about fifteen months nothing whatever had resulted from it. It appeared that the Board of Health had not the powers requisite to carry into effect the purposes for which they were constituted. Very late in the day difficulties had arisen and obstacles had been interposed in quarters where cordial support and encouragement might have been expected. The Board had pro ceeded so far as to enter into a preliminary agreement, with the sanction of the Lords of the Treasury, with two of the existing cemetery companies for the pur chase of their cemeteries. He believed the matter had gone no further, and no actual purchase had taken place, but this had thrown great doubt and difficulty upon the whole question. Parishes did not known what to do. Several of the burial grounds had been closed, and others ought to be ; but no parish would at present venture to purchase additional burial grounds because they expected all such grounds to be closed by authority. To mention a case :—ln Ken sington the existing burial ground was so full that after the lapse of a few months it would be absolutely impossible to inter more bodies, and the parish would be ready to purchase more ground ; but it was felt to be imprudent to do so in the face of the decision of Parliament that interment within the metropolis should be discontinued ; yet the Act which contem plated a place of sepulture beyond the precincts of the town remained unexecuted, and the consequence would be, that the parishioners would soon have no place of burial, unless they dealt with the trading companies. The case of Lambeth was similar, or still more serious. To be thus driven to the cemetery companies might not, in the case of the rich, be so much to be complained of, but it was extremely hard upon the poor, to whom the expense of the decent interment of their dead was a very serious matter ; and one great advantage of the plan pro posed by the Board of Health, and, as had been supposed, sanctioned by the Government and by Parliament, was, that the poor would be able to bury their relatives decently and with proper solemnity at an expense not much exceeding one third of what was now paid for that burial which could not be called duly solemn or even decent. It would appear that towards the conclusion of last ses sion the Chancellor of the Exchequer threw a certain amount of discouragement—to use a popular phrase, " threw cold water"—upon the plan, and led the Board of Health to fear that they should not be able to carry it out ; and it was intimated that another measure would be brought forward more in accordance with the views of those who had always opposed this great sanitary measure. The object of the present deputa tion was was to urge upon the Government the im portance of coming to a decision as to what should be done, and finally settling the question in some way or other. His own opinion was that it could never be effectually dealt with except by the Government, and that a board not acting with the authority of the Government, and responsible to the Government, could never carry into effect the com plicated and delicate measures necessary. There were feelings to be considered and tenderly dealt with that were among the best and holiest in our nature; and no persons who were not en tirely above all private and selfish c onsiderations, no trading companies or parish authorities could ac complish the object satisfactorily. He must say, too, that he thought it was the duty of the Government to settle this question permanently. He hoped he should be excused if he mentioned a rumour which was abroad, that it was the intention of the Government to constitute a new board for carrying into effect the object of extramural interment, such board to have also the control of the sewerage and water supply of the metropolis. Surely these were matters which ought to be kept distinct and separate from one another. It was difficult to conceive anything more calculated to offend the people—he had been going to say to disgust them—to wound some of their best feelings, than placing under one body the interment of the dead and the sweeping of the streets and cleans ing the sewers, to say nothing of the subject of water supply. He hoped the rumour was not true, and that the interment of the dead—probably in itself nearly, if not quite, sufficient to occupy the whole at tention of a board—would be placed under men who would deal with it with the seriousness and. consider ation which its importance required. For himself he must say, too, he should be grieved to see the conduct of it taken out of the hands of gentlemen so highly qualified to manage it as the members of the Board of Health. He would only add that it might be remembered that there had been a com pany in process of formation—he did not know what had become of it for the purpose of establishing a very large cemetery forty miles from London, be yond the operation and authority of the General Board of Health. If new burial-grounds were not immediately found, the people of London must have recourse to such a cemetery and convey the corpses of their friends to Woking or some such place, where there would be no control, and the regulations neces sary for the decent interment of the dead could not be enforced. Mr. GODWIN added a few words upon the extreme importance of discontinuing the burial of the dead in the midst of the living, and the impossibility of pre venting the escape of the deleterious gases thus gene rated round our houses. It was not to be supposed that because we had not had cholera the graveyards were not doing their work ; low fever and typhus fever were for the most part preventible, and a serious responsibility rested upon those who by exertion had the power very much to prevent them. Agreements had been entered into with two companies, but it was t r h e a p to therte d e t m h p a t a h t i h e e s awwe were e r ds ao x h o d u sntoot getbeen ri d t a o k f e t h n e u a p and w , ards an answer to the objection that the sums awarded were too large.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL then said, he would make a few observations with regard to the general ques tion. With respect to what had occurred, Sir Charles Wood would be able to state much better than him self the way in which the matter stood at present. But applying himself to one of the last remarks of the Bishop of London, he might observe that the ori ginal recommendations made to the Government was that a special board should be appointed for this matter of interments, and it was only with a view to save expense and not necessary patronage that this duty was placed in the hands of the Board of Health. The Board of Health was a board constituted exactly in the way which the Bishop of London objected to ; for the main business of the Board of Health, for which it was instituted, was to procure an arrange ment for the supply of water and sweeping of streets, and matters relating to sewerage and cleansing in the various towns of the country; the subject of intramural interment was only an additional duty placed upon that board, which did not properly belong to it, but which it was thought it might execute with a saving of expense. The difficulties which had occurred were very much difficulties of detail ; and questions of this kind, where all might agree upon the principle, depended very much upon the details. The Bishop of London had said, and it might seem very desirable, that the Government should take this question upon itself; but, then, there occurred matters which one could not look at as belonging to a Government with out considerable apprehension. A Government that took upon itself a question of this kind was between two difficulties; either it incurred a great loss, and was obliged to come to Parliament to supply means for ex tramural interment for the metropolis; to which the country might very well reply, " Why, London is the richest part of the whole kingdom, and it is very odd that all the rest of the country is to be taxed for London interments." But it might be said that this might be entirely avoided by making the regulations the Board of Health thought necessary. They:haslzone into great detail, and it was said their scheme was a very good one. But he found that when they tried to follow it out, so as to make it practically work, they, could come to no other conclusion than that the body in trusted with interment should entirely take it upon itself, and in so doing they would restrict persons going beyond a certain limit, and having a cemetery near Woking Common, for instance ; they would prohibit that, or making the charge for the right of interment so high that it should not be able to be done; they would impose fines or fees upon'all persons remov ing bodies out of the 'district ; and they would inter fere with those feelings which the Bishop of London so properly spoke of as sacred with regard to the respect which families wished to pay to the dead body of a relation ; they would interfere with the liberty of action in that respect. Now, either of these things—either coming to Parliament to provide by a tax upon the whole country for extramural interment for London, or proposing that the Government should have in its hands the power of interfering with every family in this metropolis, and that no burial shouldlake place with out an officer of the Government restricting or direct ing the mode in which it should be done—would, in the first place, rouse great public feeling against it ; and if a Government did it, there would be no week in which the Home Secretary, or whoever was at the head of it, would not be called upon to account for such a person's body being left too long, or why another had been removed in an unbecoming way, and so on. Government had a great deal to do, and undertaking to be answerable for the removal and burial of every dead body in a population of 2,000,000 was really a serious matter. With regard to the cemeteries, he believed those which they had engaged to buy, in order to meet any great calamity or pes tilence that might befal us, were calculated to inter about 6,000 in a year; it was stated that the whole mortality of London amounted to 58,000 or 60,000, and therefore they would evidently not supply the means of burial for the whole, and it would be ne cessary to go much further and buy all the cemeteries. It was asked why was not something immediately done ? He would say the Government had not the power to do it. The Board of Health had supposed they should be able to procure money immediately to purchase the whole of the cemeteries ; they found themselves mistaken in that, and that it could only be done by applying to the credit of the Government No power had been taken to purchase more than the two cemeteries, and it would require an Act of Par liament to enable more .to be procured. He would ❑ow ask Sir C. Wood to state the way in which the question stood at present. The CHLNCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that it had been said he "threw cold water" upon the plan. Now, certainly the subject came to him new, and he had been obliged last session (in conse quence of Sir G. Grey's absence) to attend to it, not baying attended to it when the Act passed in the pre vious session. In the beginning of the year he be lieved the Board of Health sent in a proposal to the Treasury, whose consent was necessary, to buy all the existing cemeteries, and an estimate which seemed to be very ;mall ; he (the Chancellor of the Exche quer) made some inquiries through the Woods and Forests, and satisfied himself that the sum required would be three or four times as much as this estimate. [t was, however, stated substantially that no good could be done unless the whole were bought. Then came the question how the money was to be provided. The whole matter having gone upon the principle that the Government was not to advance sixpence— there being no power in the Act to do so—the question was how the board could borrow. They said they could borrow from assurance companies. They had proceeded all along with the full knowledge that the Act contained no power for the Government to make advances, that was not the principle of the Act, and that they were not to have Exchequer-bills, but to get the money from other sources. Well, why could they not borrow ? Because they had no power of insuring the payment of a fee , and they came to this conclu sion, " Unless we have the management of all the barials in London and within 50 miles of round it, with a power of charging a fee upon every death, whether the corpse is buried by us or not, we cannot borrow money." Now, that was a very serious power. It was near the end of the session, and he (the Chan cellor of the Exchequer) thought it was a power which it was not reasonable, at the end of July or beginning of August, to ask Parliament to give. Un less they had that, the board said they were not sure of a sufficient income to enable them to borrow the money. However, power was applied for to warrant an advance of money to buy two cemeteries for which the board had engaged in negotiation ; and either or both might be taken. He might remark that in Edinburgh no one was buried within the city, but the whole was managed by cemetery companies ; therefore it did not seem so absolutely impossible to be done by private parties. _ . _ - The Bishop of LONDON observed, that if we were merely to authorise companies to establish cemeteries, it would be very hard to prevent parishes from pur chasing grounds. However, the matter must be left in the hands of the Government. But if the objections of Lord John Russell held good in their full extent, there was an end of the whole question of extramural interment ; and under such circumstances he thought the Government should not have allowed the Bill to pass. Losd J. RUSSELL did not think that. But the Board had found that their original plan could not be carried into effect, and they had come to the Government for these fresh powers. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—These very strong powers. _ _ Mi. WALSH suggested that there was a difficulty in borrowing for want of permanency in the Board of Health. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER observed that ;bat might be cured. Mr. 4onwiN begged to ask how long, this question was to remain in this unsettled state ? Lord J. RUSSELL said it must remain till next session. The Bishop of LONDON, as he rose with the rest of the deputation to withdraw, said he hoped the Government saw the importance of taking the earliest opportunity of having the question settled. Lord J. RUSSELL, as he was also rising, said (as we understood) that when Parliament met the Go vernment would be prepared to state their views, Mr. GODWIN asked whether the deputation might assure itheir friends and the public that the Govern ment felt the importance of carrying out the measure ? Lord J. RUSSELL—We feel the importance of the object, but the manner of carrying it into effect is a matter for consideration. The deputation then withdrew. CHILD MURDER AT BRENTFORD.—Yesterday, at ten o'clock, Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest at the King's Arms, Old Brentford, on the body of a newly-born male child, the illegitimate offspring of Catherine Bridges, aged 18, a servant to Mr. and Mrs. Hoare. The prisoner was sufficiently convalescent to be present at the inquiry. Mrs. Iloare stated that the accused had a room adjoining her bedroom, and that about three o'clock on the morning of the 14th instant she heard a noise in the girl's room, went in, and found her in her gown, and dressed. She saw marks of blood on the floor, and, suspecting what had taken place, she asked the prisoner where the child was. She pointed under the bed, where, tied up in a handkerchief, and strangled with a tape passed twice round its neck, the infant lay. The child, a male one, was full grown. Dr. Cooper was called in, who attended the mother. The jury returned a verdict of " Wilful murder," and the coroner :directed the officer to take the prisoner in a fly to Newgate. We understand that the rule in the Brighton church-rate case has been enlarged by consent until next term ; the object of the defend an t b e i ng to allow an opportu nity for the House of Lords to give judgment in the Brain tree case before further proceedings in the Brighton ease. — Patriot, SIR J. FRANKLIN'S EXPEDITION. ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. A meeting of thi s soc i ety was held yesterday even ing at their rooms in Waterloo place, Regent-street, and was attended not only by a numerous and influ ential body of the members, b u t a l so by several other persons of distinction. In the absence of Sir Rode rick Murchison, the president, who was unable to attend, the chair was taken by Sir Woodbine Parish. After disposing of some pre li minary matters connected with Dr. Warren's proposed journey to Arabi a , The CHAIRMAN said the nex t correspondence on the minutes was that regarding Lieutenant Pitn's pro jected expedition in search of the gallant Sir J. Franklin and his companions. It was a subject in which the society was very much interested, but be had little to state beyond that which had already ap peared in the public papers. At their last meeting a resolution was passed that the President should apply to the Admiralty and other branches of the Govern ment for pecuniary assistance to enable Lieutenant Pim to proceed to St. Petersburgh and carry out his views. Their President had accordingly applied to the Admiralty, but that department said it was not in their power to do all that was required ; at the same time they gave Lieutenant Pim unlimited leave to act on his own responsibility, and do what he could. For his own part, he thought it would be better for the purposes whi c h Li eu t enan t Pimhad in view, that he should not b e h ampere d w ith an y particular or ders of the Admiralty, and that his success would chiefly depend on th e i n f ormat i on an d assistance he might obtain at St. Petersburgh.—(Hear, hear.) Sir R. Murchison then applied to Lord J. Russell, Lord J. Russell. Both of those letters e answer from gstoaitninggoutt,heandobjteoetthfoart whichletter he L r ie ec u e t he should wish to be r ea d t o th e soc i e ty. The letters were th en rea d.b y t h e secre t ar y, D r . Shaw, and were as foll ow : y n e a d n t a v P e r i y m k w i n a d s " 16, Belgrave-square, Nov. 12. "My Lord,—A project has been organized to send Lieutenant Pim, R.N., on an exploratory search after Franklin's expedition or its remains, in a region to which no survey has yet been applied. "It is the belief of this able and zealous officer, who has served with distinction in Behring's Straits, that Franklin, after passing through Wellington's Straits, may in all probability have navigated to the west and by north in a Polar sea, until he got inex tricably encompassed in ice to the north of Behring's Straits. Admiral Wrangel and Captain Kellett have both descried such lands in the distance, and have described them as mountainous. "In common with Admiral Sir F. Beaufort, the hydrographer of the navy, and many scientific friends, I participate in the views propounded by Lieutenant Pim, who proposes to reach the north-eastern shores of Siberia and thence to commence his explorations. " As President of the Royal Geographical Society I have warmly supported him and have written urgent letters to the cbief authorities in St. Petersburgh, on whose report to the Emperor the prosecution of his enterprise will depend ; and I have good reason to hope that Russia will afford the aid required. "Lord Palmerston has, with great kindness, given Lieutenant Pim all due support, and will make him the bearer of dispatches on Tuesday next, the 18th, for her British Majesty's Minister at St. Petersburgh. "By a resolution of the Council of the Royal Geographical Society, I am further directed to endea vour to procure the countenance and assistance of her Majesty's Government and the Admiralty. All that can be required of the latter is that Lieutenant Pim be rated as a full pay lieutenant during his survey, which must, under any circumstances, prove of value to the hydrographical department of the navy. " To your Lordship, therefore, as First Lord of the Treasury, I must make my appeal, in requesting you will, if you deem it right, direct that the aum of 5001. be contributed by the public to aid in carrying out the arduous survey proposed, which will occupy two or three years. " When I bear in mind the kind and considerate manner in which, as first Minister of the Crown, you have encouraged the advances of science, and, when I reflect on the large sums which have been already so generously granted under your auspices for the pro secution of naval researches to discover the missing expedition, I trust you will be induced to sanction the advance of the small sum of money required to enable us as Englishmen to take our proper share in the first survey of this peculiar nature which has been applied to the north-east of A>ia. " I have the honour to remain your Lordship's most obedient humble servant, " RODERICK J. MURCHISON." "Downing-street, Nov. 17. " Dear Sir Roderick,—l have just given an order that 5001. should be paid to Lieutenant Pim for spe cial service. " I trust he will not, in the ardour of his pursuit. risk unduly his own life. I wish him every success. " Yours faithfully, " J. RUSSELL." The CHAIRMAN continued. After the correspon dence he felt it his duty to propose a vote o f th an k s of the society to Lord J. Russell, for his very kind reply to the communication of their President. The following resolution was then moved. by the CHAIRMAN and carried unanimously : " That the thanks of the Royal Geographical Society be given to Lord John Russell, as the head of her Ma jesty's Government, for his kind and prompt compliance with the wishes of this society, as expressed through their President, Sir Roderick Murchison, in granting the sum of 5001. to Lieutenant Pim in furtherance of his projected expedition in search of Sir John Franklin and his companions." The CHAIRMAN continued—The projected expedi tion was not without its risks, but, upon Lieutenant Pim's departure, his friends impressed upon him the necessity of not running any unnecessary danger : - -(Hear.) They had committed him to the Russian Government, and trusted he would receive from it every aid and assistance ; for that Government and every humanity but mus of science. t be interested in a question not only of On the motion of Colonel LLOYD the followingreso lution was moved and carried : " That the thanks of this society be given to the Pre sident, Sir Roderick Murchison, for the effective manner in which he has carried out the expressed wishes of the society, and secured the pecuniary assistance of her Majesty's Government in furtherance of Lieutenant Pin's projected expedition in search of Sir John Frank lin and his companions." Captain OMMANNEY, R.N., one of the commanding officers of the late expedition, then gave a very suc cinct and interesting account of their proceedings, tracing on the chart the course the expedition had taken, but without that assistance it would be impos sible to follow him satisfactorily through his narra tive, and the principal part of it has in fact already appeared in these columns. It proved that the whole of the coast as far as the vessels could go along Baf fin's Bay, Lancaster Sound, and Barrow's Straits on either side, the principal part of the Wellington Chan nel and the coast of Melville's Island, had been most carefully and minutely explored, but without success. The fact however, of Sir John Franklin's expedition having touched at Beachey Island in April, 1846, was shown by the tombs of three seamen found there with inscriptions upon them. In answer to a question from the Chairman, Captain Ommanney said, the re sult of the exploration satisfied him of the improba bility of Sir J. Franklin's having gone to the westward of the Cornwallis Island. Lieutenant OSBORNE, one of the officers of the ex pedition, expressed his firm conviction that Sir John Franklin had rushed forward to the north-west of the Wellington Channel. It must be recollected th at on th ho e of expedition was equipped for four years' service , an d he had recently beard in Paris, from a gentleman we was well acquainted with Lieutenant H a lk et t , Sir John Franklin's officers, and who was conversing with him just before he started, that the pro v i s i ons they carried would hold out f or six y e ars if necessary. ofinstructions of th SirJe yvohn F ranklin w ere gton Channetlo, Now, proceed the to the nort hward if possible ; and h e wou ld ask whe ew th ln r, they were, Sir J o h n F ran kli n and hisefellow officer equi p p e d ass I s were nen likely to turn their back on their duty after having been absent only eighteen months ?.—(Hear.)

' To sup pose that his ships had been crushed by the ice, and that the whole of the crews had perished, was, as he believed, out of the question. He had been at first opposed to the idea that there was an open sea beyond the Wellington Channel, but observations which he had made during the expedition, such as the presence of white whales and various aquatic birds coming from the North down the channel, and also the fact of there appearing to be two tides—one coming from the northward, and the other from the south, up Baf fin's Bay, had induced him to change that opinion, and to come to the conclusion that there was such an open sea, and that Sir John Franklin might have forced his way into it by the Wellington Channel, and so make his way to Behring's Straits.
