THE ARCTIC RESEARCHES. (Continued from The Sun of yesterday.) Her Majesty's Discovery ship Plover, Choris- Peninsula, Kotz-buc-sound, Sept. 25, 1849. (Received January 21, 1850.) Sir,—Having had no opportunity of communicating with Great Britain since my last report to my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, dated August, 1848, at Woahu (Sandwich ',lands), I hare the honour t ac spaint you, fir their Lordships' information, with the general proceedings of her Majesty's ship under my command up to this period. After filling up water and laying in a stock of f:esh provisions, vegetables, tec., I sailed from Woahu (Aug. 25, 1848) with the N.E trade wind, which I carried pretty steadily till the 3‘l of September, at which time I ha 1. reached the parallel of 36 deg. N., and 171 deg. 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, as I bad been led to expect, I might have the passage through the Alent;an Islands•under my Jew, On the 27th of Sept.3inbr I had the satisfaction of knowing by the ship's reckoning that I haft passed the latitude o! Mtn, the westernmost island of this group, though from the prevailing cloudy and foggy weather no indication of my approach to land could be observed, beyond a slight discoloured appearance of the sea, which had been first noticed on the 20th, on which day I com menced to sound, but found no bottom till the sth of October, in lat. 61 deg. 19 min. N., lon. 174 deg.' 8 min. E. 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 gave, on the. Bth (October), I Z.O ftthems, gradually -4-*,T easing from that day till the Island of St. Laurence — Was seev,-on the 13th. From the 234. of Septuntrer I experienced a succes sion of variable and light' winds; with ft.( quent squalls of moderate force, chiefly from N. W. and N.E., and oc casional calms, the weather being shnost Constantly thick and cloudy, with frequent falls c,train, and subsequently to the 3d of October, when the temperature .bad fallen permanently below 40 deg. of Fabienheit, sleet and snow prevailed. Ou 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 a Behring's Straits, together with the "Sailing Directions" forwarded by Admiral Lutzke, through Captain Kellett, unfortunately not having reached rue. 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 durirg the night, and, notwithstanding the utmost vigilaece of the officers of the watcher, found on the 16th .I was thirty miles to the southward of my posi tion on the previous day, being several miles tel eevvard of the South Cape (Asiatic shore) instead of weathering Cape Chaplin, as I expected. Finding the vessel thus totally unqualified to contend against A 9 adverse wind and a strong current setting to the south-west (which had been felt in some considerable degree there several da3s past), I felt the necessity of :coking shelter under the land, whilst still in my power, rather than remain at yea under such utlivourable circumstances. I accord ingly cane to at 7 20 A. as. in a bay on the S.W. coast of Siberia, Olen to the south and neit, at a distance of four miles from de land, in readiness to take immediate advan tage of any favourable circumstances that might occur. Mr. Henry Martin, second master, was dispatched to ex amine an indentation which I observed, 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. In the ms an time a number cf natives came off to the ship, from whom I understood that I could conveniently procure a supply of wat-r near the anchorage reported by Mr. Martin. I stood in on the following day, and anchored at 9 45 P. x., in twenty fathoms water, the wind being still fresh at north-east. Oa the 200, finding the direction and farce of the wind to continue, the temperatare of the air to fall as low as 234 deg. Fahrenheit, and the sea water to 284 deg., I deemed it prudent to take the opinions of the officers as to whether an endeavour to proceed to the northward should be made (these opinions I have the honour to enclose), which I beg f 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 probability of 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 therefere determined that, should no favourable change take place before the 26th, to select a convenieet spot in which to place the ship for the winter. On the 23d a still farther reduction of temperature took place; the upper part of the harbour was reported fie zing over, and ;sego 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 on the 24th, anchor ing three P.M. at sever fathoms. The harbour to which I had now removed commu nicated with the larger one by an opening a mile wide, awing a basin four miles long, and one and a half in bre sdth, surrounded on every side by lofty mount rim, 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. On the low land, at the south was a native settlement el 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 sh' d iywc eei nt erers o oi fm n at onbi nti a ghi est, the he 29th sh t iot hnrt of he (tme oh t rpeople winds, as well as the probability of the r. F tepee from a people whose friendly disposition was not bour on the 25 t h, and there secured the ship for the ere 'employed dismantling e o the ship, leaving nothing but the lower rigging over o e vee i tdb whole ) leitr b P h ee t t a ne o n r d r: ho p . brs pre- d v e a a t af n c e t ht little o l e f hd the i sr the mastheads, building a house of stones for the con venience of working ti 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 squalls and strong north east winds, so that the ship was not finally frozen in until the 18th, when the natives were first enabled to visit us alongside the ship in their sledges, drawn by dogs. It will now be necessary for me to infirm their Lord ships of the friendly intercourse I had succeeded in es tablishing with the different tribes of natives near my winter quettars. They at first appeared to hesitate about coming on board, but on making a few presents, and allowing some traffic to be carried on with them, they gained confidence, at least so far as to enter the ship readily when invited to do so, being carefut on all occasions to guard against treachery on their part, on ac count of the warlike and re'entless character attached to the people of these coasts by some authors. During the months cf November and December the ship was daily visited, 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 was 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 cess, so much so that in the early 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 veiee'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 rest-ter, ice) took his turn, displaying throughout a persevering energy in en during fatigue and hardship, as well as firmness and dis cretion 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 snow drifts, with the thermometer at 30 , deg. below zero. The following account of a party which left the ship in February will be read 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 of the ship's wreck I could not make out, to gain W m in as . te l r; i m ll o e r e e pe c r e p rateatiiini acting information . H o f en w r h y ic hi h a I r ti s n e , n n t ee M en r. d and Mr. William H. 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 to 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 wero overtaken by a violent snow st irna, by which their progress was much impeded, and, 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 day 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 manner. 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 they imperceptibly lost, judged that their wandering had been made in a circle of moderate ex tent proposed, from his knowledge of the coast in a pre vious tourney, to attempt reaching the p lace they h a d last left by the aid of his pocket compass, to which Mr. Hooper readily agreed, and in the evening, when the n d weather cleared a little, they had the happi ness to fi that a merciful Providence had brought them out of tbe:r difficulties when to every appe arance they were cut off from all hope. The slig ht view of the land they obtained recovered their exh austed frames and stimu- lated them to fresh exertions, by which they gainei Ueg-wy-sack (Cape Chaplin on the charts) before dark ness set in. It would bo 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 gradually 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 alive. He had complained also of cold feet, which were now found not frozen, but completely chilled as high as the knees, which in the course of the night, by the kind attentions of the natives, were restored to their natural temperature, but many weeks elapsed More sensation and 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, h eying Mr. Moore to return to the ship as soon as his strength would permit, which I granted, sending a further supply cf provisions, and providing for Mr. Moore's immediate return to the ship. Messrs. Hooper and Martin continued thein journey as far as to get a viewo f Esst Cape, beyond which they could not ge', as that 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 goad health, after en 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 ster❑ frame is still to be seen on the Leach. s e ' Whilst these journeys were being reformed the ob servations neehoateteuid the duties of the ship were con ducted by Lieutenant William A. R. Lee and the other officers, under my own direct superintendence; and at ittn - vala Mr. Martin, assisted by Mr. Hooper, made a survey of the place in which I had teeured the ship for the winter, which, connected with Mr. Martin's and my own observation's on . the coast to, the westward, will, I hone, gives a tolerably correct representation of these bores, and. when associated with magnetic observations on every attainable point, will, I trust, meet their Lord ships' approbation, Among the internal arrangements of the ship, those for the instruction and recreation of the crew, according to the example set by Captain Sir William Parry, were not omitted, and I gladly availed myself of the proffered services of Mr. J. Simpson, essistaut-surgeon, and Mr. John J. Lindsay, clerk in charge, in conducting a school for reading and writing, and getting up plays and mas querades fur their amusement and pal-,time in the long dreary nights of winter. Soon aftsr my arrival in Emma's Harbour (the name which I have given to the place in which I winteted) was fortunate enough to procure a supply of reindeer'a flesh from the natives, and saw large herds of these ani mals near the village, where I hoped to procure further supplies, and in this I was act ultimately disappointed, though the unwillingness of these people to barter large quantities at a time, and the distance 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 cat cases of twelve reindeer, in return for a ship'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 the ico began to break away, I set about fitting the ship for sea, which was completed in the fine weather of that month, and on the 221 of May, when the floes bad been broken as far as the fetch of the sea would reach, I deemed it necessary to commence cutting the ship out of the 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 cutting 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 it.t:rruptions occasioned by snow rt Tins, the work of cutting a canal of 2,000 yards in length, was completed in 22 days, and on the 13th of June I bad the pleasure of seeing the Plover released from her icy cradle, and at anchor in the clear water of the harbour. The ship being thus free, and thoroughly refitt'd, as far as my means would permit, and filled up with water of excellent quality, my departure was delayed by brfiling winds and calms, 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 S.W., 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 Datives 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 folt Vie necessity of a.!suring myself as to what nation they might }Along, and for this purpose, as soon as I discovered there was room for a boat to wake 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 northwaods, but so far as he could observe the sea was 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 or 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 pul in clear wator. After several attempts to get the ship to sea, and hay 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 July. 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 reef-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 l 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 dietely 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 inetructioas 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. After 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 tor the Plover, which was accordingly done, and on the 17th left Kot zebue Sound, and on 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 Isilet 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 boats (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 erica 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 dog. 51 min. N., and 164 deg. 28 min. 30 sec. W., with the pack stretching f , orn 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, winter, off which place we arrived on the 31st . .111/.. they the morning of the Ist ( f August I again v(151 should have inlet, and, much to my disappointment, ? have to lighten the Plover t)o nine! ; forte nate the attempt was not made, for sn ships were obliged to weigh a s set stel' coining up strong from tne from that quarter for several refd evening wn.an sg stand off the land, the wind IN' and continued to blow da . ' during which time I y from the fact that the • experieuced the utmost ship would do nothinog's.l anxiety,The rreut setting to the N.E. and the wind Yard from the S.W.. for some considerable time I saw no hope for her but the beach. I beg to call heir Lordships' particular attention to my position, as noted on the track chert for the time referred to. On the I tth I arrived off Cape Lisburne, vhere it vas ap pointed the two ships should meet ; but not finding her here, proceeded on my way to Chalnisao Island, as I did not feel myself justified in keeping :,this vessel on the 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 littopper and gear, although new, being carried away by a heavy sea, which struck her on the bow. On the afternoon of the 16th I arrived of Chamiaso 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 plane her under the south side of Choris Pollin ates, 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, &c., but not as ma n y or ao l arge as I should have likedto 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 distanceOf about 70 miles, where e e were unf irtunately stopped by a strong rapid of about quarter of a mile lu ng. From the sh o rt t i me 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 V.) Kotzebue Sound to be near us during the winter. On the 28th of August the schooner yacht Nan?yr Dawson, with her owner, Robert Shedden, Esq , arrived with Mr. Martin, second waster, with ono of the decked beats. Here I beg to say that 'cannot sufficiently thank Mr. Shedden for his kindness and attention on all occasions to the boats of the expedition. Mr. Martin reports having left Lie,ilenant Pullen and Mr. Hooper, with the two whalers, about 50 milea to the eastward of Point Barrow, and tiat they had every prospect and hoped to be et the Mackenzie in a few days. I am, therefore, daily end anxiously awaiting their return. Mr. Martin also reports that the water is execelingly shallow off and about Elson Bsy, and that, although the summer has been a most favourable one in every rc ape& for a vessel coming through, yet the depth of water necessary is wanting. This, together with - the N.E. curl cut, awl the prevalence of S.W. winds, I' eri - dais the N.W. passage, in my opinion, decidedly unat tainable. Although every opportunity has beau aken advantage of to pin itfortestion from the nat.vcs as to Eir Jchn Frankhn end his party, I regret t 3 any that our labours have bet-n, es yet, unsuceeasl; but I trust long ere this reaches England both he and Lis expedition will have arrived. I beg to inform their Lordships that, as soon a; tha ice breaks up to admit cf my proceeding northward, I shall do so, making my way back in sufficient time t be at Chamisso when the Herald arrives. I beg :also to inform their Lordships that I am pro vided in every respect with provisions; slops, d•.c for my v. , hole complement, up to the end cf July, 18.50. I have now, in conclusion, to express to their Lord ships how much I feel satisfied with the conduct and unwearied exertion of t`.e officers and men under try command; and I most earnestly beg to call the attention of their Lordships more particularly to the three fol lowing officers—Mr. Henry Martip, second master; Mr. W. H. Hooper, acting mate; and Mr. John J. Lindsay, clerk in charge; and trust their Lordships will grant them the promotion they so much deserve. I hate the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, THOMAS E. L. MOORE, 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's ship Herald for the southward I beg leave to take advat 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 scason. 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 fir as was prac ticable, which gri atly facilitatel the communication of our different 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 Lordships 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. E. L. MooRE, Commander. Captain Henry Kellett, C. 8., her Majesty's ship Herald. 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 Cape Kmsentem. It con tains the following proposals:—That on arriving off Cape Lisburn the decked boats of the Herald and Plover, with a whale boat, be hoiA,ld out, commanded by Lieutenant Pullen and Mr. Martin, with a party of seven men in each boat, including the ice master, victualled for thirty day s, and should explore the coast communicating with the ships in the offing, when a sufficiently large inlet should be formedlor the ship to anchor in. On arriving off Wainwright Inlet, should none be fmnd southward, two be ats 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 off the packed ice till Sept. 25, when, if the • boats have already returned, they should sail to Chamisso Island, and if not to St. Laurence Bay. The following is Captain Kellett's reply:— TO COMMANDER T. E. L. MOORE, HER MAJESTY'S 811111 PLOVER. Her Majesty's ship Herald, at Sea, off Cape Krussenstern, July 19, 1849. Sir,—The following remarks are flunded on their Lordships' orders to me asjwell 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 Lcrd ships consider light boats, or baidars, as the most eligible for pros?euting 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, therefore, 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 had in the navigation of icebound coaAQ. 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 tt eir Lordships imphaticallr state that if no position is found for the Plover north of Kotzsbue Sound, she must winter there. Your opinion, however, it., VW 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 Grantley Barbour as a more fitting place for rendering assiktince than any port outside tle 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 tives, to travel to East Cape—a greater distaece than from Grantley to Chamisse, 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 ye 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 up for the winter in the ice will per mit, returning to meet the Herald before she goes south by the 25th cf September off Chamisso Island. 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 tf examining the coast for a winter har bour I should propo'e as follows: — That the Owen (Herald's decked boat), with a whaler,, or perhaps a smaller boat, be seat direct to Wainawstrer on n s Inlet, having your ice master and second master ewe the result of their examin u a r ti° le'cked boat, and on board, with orders to return to the . sh i pe chips, in asm uynoiu propos-, in the oiling. having your with along m t o h s e t s coast erion i s e leisurely. As wet© As it would be attended other boat in shore. e t in the ice, I shall trust her safety this ship to b© beset from such a disaster to your greater experience in tee going strewed seas. I have gi ve n you my feelings and opinions on thi s sub ject, made freely, and shall expect and receive yours in A similar way.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, HENRY KELLETT, Captain. In alt tier dated the same day, in reply to the above, Commander Moore urges that the boats should on no account be at any time out of eight of the ships, both remaining as close to the land and to the beets as consistent with safety. He further objects that, by proceeding to Wainwright Inlet dile:.t, a loss of time might be incurred by the boats missing the ship on their return, in ease of bad weather, should they have f mud 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 Mecicei 4ie; and, should diffienities se -m 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 join 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- RAMBLES IN NORWAY, On Wednesday, February 6, will be published, in 1 vol.

I do not want to imitate old Moore, - Who often tried the future.- - never handle matters of chronology By means of signs connected with astrology. Far more I know of n-aistcoats, coats, and breeches, Than fortanc-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 season'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.
