SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, )ctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University 01 Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &c. VI AY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro _bleed more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life. than perhaps any other class of dis eases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitfhl Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. • It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may he mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is tree. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, Assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtues of their patent nostruins, have inflicted serious injury on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions. At home for consultation daily from Eleven till Two, and from Six till Eight. All letters must contain the fee of 11, and advice and medicines can he forwarded to any initials or address. It is desirable that patients wishing to consult Dr. LA'MERT Should first obtain a copy of his work on SELF -PRESERVATION. A Medical Treatise on the Philosophy of Marriage and Nervous and Generative Debility, illustrated by fifty-coloured engravings, and des ert Ding in detail the various disorders resulting from secret habits and excesses. The perusal of this treatise will assist in the correct description of their cases, and may be had, price 2s ficl, in English, French, Spanish, Dutch, Italian, or German, of Messrs.

Cape Lady Franklin tthd the newly-discovered land, N:N.E.; or, by actual observation, 143 2 of the horizon. Fr "From the free motion of the tides and floes in this direction here parall e l t o t h e ' channel (say N.N.W. and S.S.E.), lam satisfied that we are now in the Polar Sea, composed, in all probability, of a great archipelago of islets and sand-banks. "Time was now too precious to lose in waiting for open water for the ship ; indeed, I judged correctly in estimating `the season' closed, and immediately deter mined on boat and sledge work. It was first intended to take two boats, but_the former ctia_men thought that appearances indicated firm ice or floes. For my own part Idetermined to secure my great object of set tling the position of 411 we had seen, and of being pro perly prepared for further operations. ,The light ice boat, built after a model lent to me by Capt. Hamilton, and named after him, was attached to my sledge. Com . mander Richards had the second sledge, and Lieutenant Osborne the third, provisioned for 21 days, and with a precautionary depot, sent - overland to a bay likely to afford shelter. The party started on the 23d of August. I It was soon found that the pools and cracks between the floes could not be managed by one boat, and she little better than pasteboard as to thickness ; a whale-boat was therefore added. It is immaterial now to mention par ticulars, but on the 25th we 'landed on a low point, where the coast suddenly turns to the eastward, and I discovered the remains of several well-built Esquimaux houses, not simply circles of small stones, but two lines of well-laid wall-in excavated -ground, filled in between I by about two feet of fine -gravel, welt paved, and withal presenting the appearance of great care —more, indeed, than I am willing to attribute to the rude inhabitants or migratory Esquirnuax. Bones of deer, walrus, seals, l&c., numerous. Coal found. I "The addition of the whale-boat rendered the move ments of th e ot h er party so slow, that I was compel,edo move on s i ng l y, leaving Commander Richards to co iplete the coast line search from his advanced station as long as his provisions would last (one sledge having !swamped and spoiled the greater part). " On the evening of the 27th of August, the anniver sary of the action at Aigl'ers, I took possession of the first large island seen from the former station, naming it, in comphment to the 'gallant commander-in-ebief, ' Ex mouth Island.' The summit I named Milne Peak—our second in command. To the eastward of me lay a long I table island, to which commander Richards would repair, and connect it with our survey. From the summit of this island, 580 feet above the sea, and in lat. 77 15 N., I had anticipated the satisfaction of commanding a most extensive range. 1 was miserably disappointed ; and, after watching two steeessitr days; for-hours, through snow storms, for merely some glimpse of the land I had now to seek, I was barely rewarded by ascertaining that an open sea, of about 17 miles, would enable nse to reach it, if the wind permitted ; for the boat when sledge laden with tent, bedding, provisions, &c., was not very safe, even on the Thames above bridge. Fortune favoured us, an d by aid of sails (tent-bottom) and paddles, we reached our destination the next afternoon, after six hours' toil. The ice then moving on to the land, completely entrap. ped us, but we were safe on terra firma. Thick snowy weather continued with light gleams at times, affording plhosiengs:on about Exmouth bssout iticl7lei.wr a n „p d pa narde at e . having lslands.w aaias cended :osition, which was dote! mined to be I took possession of this new edition to her Majesty's territories under the title of North Cornwall,' in coin ijcPunnel signmi°dateeetoe occasionally ts7seto the ul7 3 ra3i h esi i i3 g 3t 0-rhi g limpses s s point of land (within three miles /six.) and sa ti s fi e d myself that I commanded the h north-west extreme f or a ra d ius of five miles at least, pulled along the sou th and that no land w i t hi n the range of Exmouth Island (seventeen miles di s t ant) existed westerly of launched clherdet overland, u in r t onedt the ocleare op to the beach, wt haeter,ice, w andand, hic had entrapp e d us, having h au l ed the western line of the island about 17 miles, where we landed, and encamped for the night. c , l l .his position proved to be the southern angle of North Cornwall, situated in 77 28 50 N. The weather still continued thick, with occasional snowfalls, and hiding most of the objects which I was so anxious to obtain, indeed barely sufficient of Exmouth and Table Islands to secure my position. "But in the eastern horizon, where the sun at tifnes shone brightly, I was enabled from a very elevated po sition to satisfy myself th at no land was visible- in the eastern horizon for 30 miles ; and the eastern low ex tremity of this land, North Cornwall, distant about 10 miles E.N.E. " Throughout this very interesting search not a par ticle of drift wood has been noticed since quitting Vil lage Point, and not a trace of human beings. Animal life seems to fail after quitting Exmouth Island. It is possible that the snow may have covered many objects, but we noticed them even when heavier snow had fallen on Table Island.

"If our unfortunate countrymen have taken the floe and drifted with it' their case is hopeless. If we may judge from the aspect of the floes, where they had come into collision, or where they piled themselves in layers over 40 feet on the—nark:l-western extremities of the islands, the feeling was disheartening. We noticed no thing equal to it in Melville Bay. Our only resource now is the close search of the coast line west and south westerly, and north and easterly, for any traces of ves sels or crews. " The tides in the parallel of 77 30 are regularly east and west, the flood coming from the east, and that tide to the north appearing to prevail at a depth below the ordinary thickness of the floe, as we frequently noticed detached heavy masses, drawing some eight or ten feet, pressing rapidly and forcibly against the weather floe edge, and a stiff breeze. The boat was on one occasion so forced to windward, and stove. " Finding little chance of better weather, young ice forming, and our position being very precarious in such a frail boat against a glassy ice, even now on the sur face, we took advantage of the lull, and fortunately effected our escape, under great difficulty, to Table Island, the day following to ExMouth Island, and for ward, rejoining Commander Richards and party before reaching Village Point. " I cannot take leave of the little boat without ex pressing, in common with all her crew, our admiration of her most perfect adaptation for the service contem plated. She had, it is true, sundry severe injuries, but under Providence we escaped and returned safely. She has yet, I trust, much to earn before she is laid up with her honours due.' " From our examination of this northern' sea, I now feel convinced that the so-termed. Smith an d J ones ' s Sounds are connected immediately with this northern sea. If Franklin passed eastetr,,through Lancaster Sound to try the opening of JOnes or Smith's outlets, we may yet fall upon his 'traces, ati my own spring move ments will carry me• in that direction. -Commander Pullen or Mr. M'Cormiek may have already, in part, settled this important question ; they were fully im pressed by me with the importance of that' course of search. - •, • • " Our parties returned to the - ship. bii the Bth of Sep tember, having been absent but 16 days. It was satis factory, at all events, to . find that trie opinion I had formed of the 'season - fad seen fully borne out, tne vessels being s ecure l y f rozen in from the period we quitted. " So rapidly, indeed, did the ice appear to be uniting in one common floe, that immediate pre arations were made for sending out autumnal paities with the depots for the southern spring search. The 13th of September was, indeed, fixed for starting, hut gaps were noticed from our hill (one of the highest in this vicinity), which entirely stopped our proceedings. " Eventually, on the 22d, I determined on endeavour ing to search closely by the coast line between this and Cape Beecher, as our rapid movement might have caused some little object to pass unnoticed—not probable. " This letter was intended to be deposited at the depot there for Commander Pullen. Circumstances, now to be detailed, prevented our getting-more than one-third of the distance—our return we had to be grateful for. On the morning of . the 22d the same sledges and leading officers started on this Service, unfortunately, with a boat—having reached and pitched our tents for the third night on an island about 12 miles to the southward of Mount Percy, or 18 from the ship,. the ice al§o betraying symptoms of great weakness. Bad weather set in, broke up the ice, and cut up off from communication with the mainland for more than a week, reducing us to half al lowance, and materially depressing the spirits of our men. Food we had in a walrus, which we killed ; also plenty of fuel But no one knew how long this imprisonment was to last, and the anxiety too ofto.t expressed for very low,:terePeraturdi wasiniicommon in these cold regions. At length our wishes were in • some measure realised ; the comminuted floes froze once more into ice that bore, and we escaped to the main, skirting its edge gained a safe landing at night, after • • until we sundry unpleasant e scapes. ,‘ Further expeditions this season were cut off, not only by the severity of the cold, but prevented heavy ice tz'om form by the sea maintain ins a temperature which prevented m y observations on our late, I now—having erreigesuiorfespbeuntnyli.ttle comment, namely xamili7si.uobceedi4,l4,o:tviosisadounadel discovlt is my wish to give him every credit ; for he is entitled to Tutch for what he has done.

Therefore, although I disclaim any mathematical right he has, I willingly give him all his possible radius of vision from any point which we can see, and from which, although never visited by him, we might be 'seen. . " I have, therefore, throwing overboard the true bearing, as wall as the possibility of hid acing our points of the termination of the Queen's Channel, retained the names of git:Johri and Lady Frankfth as dUr turning points (notwithstanding an island intervenes, cutting off Cape Beecher at about 12 miles to the south).

I gave him no orders, merely a letter of remarks for his guidance (see . enclosure), considering his experience sufficient under any circumstances. I therefore feel his loss most pain fully, for he was a good and worthy young man, a credit to his profession, and, although a foreigner, has shown ;;ucli zeal and energy in the cause we are engaged in that I should feel myself honoured in being associated with him in any way.

On the 21st instant, at 10 minutes after mid night, the ice in the bay began to drive out at a rapid rate, taking us with it ; the inshore place, however, happily received a check, by which we held on, and have since maintained our position off Northumberland Sound The Phoenix and transport were observed setting out of the bay and off from Cape Riley, where they had been discharging provisions. The wind at the time was light from the eastward. At 2 15 a.m., of that morning, both vessels got so far to the westward, and outside Beechy Island, that we lost sight of them from our deck. At 3 30 the steamer alone was seen again coming to the eastward, under steam, but was soon checked by a large floe piece. I therefore concluded she had left the trans port in a safe position, perhaps in Union-bay which was clear. At noon she signalised Transport is lost,' and we could see from our masthead that the steamer herself was completely surrounded with heavy ice, and their saws at work, as if endeavouring to cut a dock.

ROYAL ARTILLERY.—WOOLWICH, Oct. 10.—The whole of the troops in the garrison off duty assembled in heavy marching order at half-past eight o'clock a.m. today, the Royal Horse Artillery under Lieutenant-Colonel Strangways, the field batteries under Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson, the right wing of the battalions of artillery under Lieutenant -Colonel Poole, and headed by the m ban, ,A d de the Royal and headed Marines by their under band, a i e n u d t e t n h a e n t left- C o v o i n n e g l of the battalions of artillery under Lieutenant-Colonel Hill, with the drums and flutes of the regiment, and a battalion of recruits. Colonel E. C. Whinyates, C. 8., K.H., commandant of the garrison, accom panied by Lieutenant-Colonel Willis, inspector of drills, Brigade-Major Bingham, and Captain Riddell, deputy-assistant quartermaster-general of artillery, arrived at 9 o'clock, and took the command of the whole of the troops, The Royal Horse Artillery and the field batteries then marched out at the south-west-gate, and the battalions and Royal Marines through the gate, in the centre of the Barrack-field, where the Commandant, with his staff, took up a position, and inspected the men as they marched past. The whole proceeded across the common, passing the reservoir, and down the Shooter's hill-road to Blackheath, returning through Charlton, and on the rear of the cottages, re-entering the barrack ground, by the south-west gate, at a quarter before 12 o'clock. The whole of the troops of Royal Horse Artil lery in the garrison have been supplied with four 9- pounder guns and two 24-pounder howitzers to each troop, instead of the four light 6-pounder guns and two 12-pounder howitzers previously used by that branch of the Ordnance corps. Each of the 9-pounder guns and 24-pounder howitzers will be drawn by six horses, in stead of four horses, the number required for the light field pieces.

It is the intention of the company to erect ex tensive works, adapted to the full development of this important invention. The cost of ship timber will be materially lessened, while that required for smaller vessels will be cheaper than ever before known. For cabinet use this invention will prove no less valuable, and we may now have light cabinet furniture of great strength ' • the entire back of a c h a i r may b e ma d e o f one piece and of any form, without losing the great strength always consequent upon the use of parallel fibres instead of angular cuts or curves, within which the end of the grain of the wood is exhibited.

I have discharged all my crew who wished to leave, also those unfit for Arctic service, together with Mr. M'Cormick, surgeon, and Alston, mate, who were desirous of returning to England. "5. An officer aii'd two Men were sent on the return of the first two men to relieve the others, and also exa mine the state of the ice in Wellington Channel, and to see if was practicable by boat, or otherwise, to commu nicate with you. Look-outs also from the top of the island have been kept, and such is their report, that not only myself, but Captain Inglefield, consider it impru dent to detach any more parties to endeavour to com municate. "6. I. have acquainted Commander Inglefield with all your orders, wishes, and intentions, taking from him every available article of provision, &c., for travelling he could spare, and necessary for the expedition under your command. " 7. From the long continuance of E. and S.E. winds packing the ice up so much to the westward and on these shores, that I fear the Intrepid will be very late, if able to reach at all, I cannot venture an opinion on the season at present, merely noting that it is a late one, and very different from last year. I confidently expect, and am 'prepared for, being driven out of this the first strong N. W. wind. However,' I hope to be able to re turn again, even if so, prior to your arrival ; and, con sidering all these circumstances, a ship being here from England, the lateness of the season, &c., your opinion respecting this as a winter quarter coinciding with my own from actual experience, I shall, if you are not here by the Ist of September, if possible, remove to Gascoine Inlet. "8. I hereby , inclose a copy of a notice set adrift on the Ist of August, and, in conclusion, regret to say that, having .only so lately returned from travelling, and time being so short, I am unable at present to forward a separate report, as requested by you, relating to the stranding and recovery of the ship. "9. Three of the men of the late Lieutenant Bellot's party have also exchanged into the Pho3nix, so that we have now almost a new ship's company. I cannot won der at so many leaving, for the severe and heavy work that has fallen to them from the position in which the ship was unfortunately placed, and the actual necessity of being obliged to keep them so continually at it, in duces me to think that, if I may so say it, they are cowed, and dread the thoughts of another winter. Had it not been for the good example shown by the executive officers, I hardly think we should have kept them up to the work. I cannot refrain from bringing to your favourable notice Mr. Elliott, the clerk in charge, whose duties, from every document connected with the expe dition, passing through this ship, and having to be copied, have not only been heavy, but so continuous that he has been most unremittingly employed. --I have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant, " W.

WitYRILL, HANTS, GREAT SHEEP-FAIR.—The great October sheep-fair of Weyhill was held yesterday. From 80,000 to 100,000 sheep and lambs were penned at an early hour, and the arrival of many distant flockmasters and dealers betokened it would be a great day of busi ness. By 10 o'clock sales commenced freely, and were carried on with great animation throughout the day. The dry weather, in place of rain, had a very beneficial effect in the appearance of the animals, and, as usual, the top lots of both ewes and lambs were eagerly sought after, and sales were readily effected. Best Dorset ewes, to lamb early, realised from 425. to 555. each, those more backward and more aged, 38s. to 48s. ; best Down ewes, 325. to 40s. ; inferior ewes for which the dealers were ready buyers, at 30s. and upwards ; wether lambs, ,20s. to 30s. each, some very choice 325. each ; ewe lambs, 18s. to 265. Culls, of course, of both ewes and lambs, went at lower figures, prices of which, for all practical purposes, are immaterial. The demand for rams was on the whole rather flat, although some of our professed ram-breeders effected numerous high and satis • I factory sales. Owing to the general briskness business was concluded at an earlier hourthan usual, and at five o'clock the appearance of the pens showed there were not many lots remaining unsold ; indeed, so far from sellers having to lower their preten sions as the day waned, we under stand the contrary was the case , the result being a satis factory clearance.

Belcher, I gladly avail myself of the offer, and, as time is short and of consequence, I do not enter fully into detail, merely giving you a few remarks and a light equipment. You are already acquainted with my views as to the probable spot in which you will find the Assist ance, and Point Hogarth being a princip al point of ren dezvous, make for it as speedily as possible, keeping as much as you can the eastern shores on board ; as I know it is Sir Edward's intention to travel this way if he can not get on with the ship, it is, therefore, uncertain when he will leave. "There is nothing within a reasonable distance of the shore to prevent a light ledge getting on ; keep a sharp look-out, and I hardly think he can pass you. You have one of Halkett's large boats ; I have, therefore, no fear for your success, for the ice is still heavy in Wel lington Channel, and I hardly think it will break out this month ; at all events, should you see any signs to suppose such likely to happen, make for the shore, and use your own discretion as to advance or retreat. The boat will track well in shore. Captain Inglefield, it is possible, may cross you, but it can be only when well to the northward. However, should such be the case, I ad vise you going on together, more especially should he have his large boat.

" It is probable that the Assistance will be at or near Cape Beecher during the month of August, therefore any dispatches' which may arrive are to be forwarded to meet the ship by the east side of the Wellington Channel, call ing at Point Hogarth, which will be a principal rendez vous ; at all events, as the distance on the present posi tion where the ship may be icebound is not more than four days' easy march, the officer should be instructed and provisioned to move on and to communicate with me. Indeed, this duty must be imperative, as the final deter mination of my movements must depend on the co-ope ration of the external division, should it be found neces sary to abandon the vessel next season . _ _ I left the ships well to the eastward of Dundas Isle, and the ice breaking away fast.

" Set afloat from her Majesty's ship North Star, lying in Erebus and Terror Bay, Beechey Island, on the Ist of August, 1853. The ice only opened out sufficiently this day. The north Star was driven on shore by ice and a heavy south-east gale last September, and only got off again on the 30th of June, by cutting, blasting, and clearing a space in the ice to heave her into.

William Harvey. boatswain's mate, and William Madden, A. 8., then both got into the boat and reached the shore,' taking a line with them for a hauling line each way. By this means three loads were landed from the sledge ; and the men on the ice were hauling the boat off a fourth true, when Madden, who was up to his middle in water, with the hauling line in his hand, hailed M. Bellot to say the ice was on the move, driving up and off shore. M. Bellot told him to let go the line, which he did, Those remaiaiumige, ice then ran the boat up to windward on the sledge, but the ice being so fast in motion before they could reach the wished-for point, it had drifted considerably off the shore. I now went on the high land to watch, and saw theta drifting up the channel, and. off the land. I watched in this position for six hours, but lost sight of them after two hours. When I last saw them the men were standing by the sledge, and M. Bellot on the top of a hummock. They appeared to be on good solid ice, wind at the time from S.E., blowing hard and snowing. After waiting for six hours, commenced our return (all open water in the channel at this time), walked round Griffin Bay with a little provisions, and reached Cape Bowden, where we remained to take some rest. We had not been there long when Madden called me, and said two men were coming. I jumped up immediately, and hailed them, asking where M. Bellot was ; they replied that he was gone. On coming up to us Hook said M. Bellot was drowned. I asked him if he was sure he was ; he said, •He was almost sure, because he saw his stick in the water, and could not see him.' After this we made the best of our way on board, leaving them there. " William Madden, A. 8., corroborated the above. " Did you think the ice was dangerous ?—Yes, I certainly did, sir. " Why, for fear of breaking through, or breaking off the land ?—Both, sir. " Did you mention your fears to any one ?—No, sir.' "He also states that they must have been drifted back and got on shore near the same place where the ac cident happened." STATEMENT OF WILLIAM JONES, A. 8., WHO WAS ON THE ICE WITH LIEUT. BELLOT. "We got the provisions on shore on Wednesday the 17th. After we had done that, there remained on the ice David Hook, A. 8., Lieut. Bellot, and myself, having with us the sledge, Mackintosh awning, and little boat. Commenced trying to draw the boat and sledge to the southward, but found the ice driving too fast ; left the sledge and took the boat only, but the wind was so strong at the time that it blew the boat over and over. We then took the boat with us under shelter of a piece of ice, and M. Bellot and ourselves commenced cutting an ice-house with our knives for shelter. M. Bellot sat for half-an-hour in conversation with us talking on the danger of our position. I told him I was not afraid, and that the American expedition were driven up and down this channel by the ice. He replied, 'I know they were; and when the Lord protects us not a hair of our heads shall be touched.' I then asked M. Bellot what time it was. He said, ' About a quarter-past 8 a.m.' (Thursday, the 18th) ; and then lashed up his books and said he would go and see how the ice was driving. He had only been gone about four minutes when I went round the same hummock under which Ive were sheltered, to look for him, but could not see him, and on returning to our shelter saw his stick on the opposite side of a crack, about five fathoms wide, and the ice all breaking up. I then called out ' Mr. Bellot !' but no answer (at this time blowing very heavy). After this I again searched round, but could see nothing of him. I believe that when he got from the shelter the wind blew him into the crack, and his south-wester being tied down could not rise. Finding there was no hope of again seeing Lieutenant Bellot, I said to Hook, 'l'm not afraid ; I know the Lord will always sustain us.' We commenced travelling to try to get to Cape de Haven or Port Phillips ; and when we got within two miles of Cape de Haven,•could not get on shore, and returned for this side, endeavouring to get to the 'southward, as the ice was driving to the northward. We were that night and the following day in coming across, and came into the land on the eastern shore, a long way to the northward of the place where we were driven off. We got into the land at what Lieutentant Bellot told us was Point Hogarth (?). "How did you get on shore ?—' In drifting up the Straits towards the Polar Sea saw an iceburg lying close to the shore, and found it on the ground. Succeeded in getting on it, and remained for six hours. I said to David Hook, "Don't be afraid, we must make a boat of a piece of ice," Accordingly we got on to a piece passing, and I had a paddle belonging t l O the india-rub ber boat.' On being asked what became of the india rubber boat, replied, ' It was left where Lieut. Bellott was lost.' By this piece of drift ice we managed to reach the shore, and then proceeded to where the accident hap pened. Reached it on Friday. Could not find our ship mates, or any provisions. Went on for Cape Bowden, and reached it on Friday night. Found Harvey and Madden there. They told us they were going on to the ship with the mail-bag. We rested that night in a mise rable state, and in the morning got some bread and pem mican out of the cache, and after we had refreshed our selves proceeded to the ship. _ _ . 11 . .. mile') ready for transmission before the Ist of Septem ber,e Airi havingtaentnoii.ai, Cliff, ae whi c h I purpose sen di ng one o f th e vesse l s home.

" 10. Commander Richards finding that Commander M'Clintock had poached upon his ground, instantly came to the determination of visiting the Resolute, and obtaining all the requisite particulars relative to the Investigator.

Operations for cutting out were complete, when having dispatched a cutter, by calculation to render as sistance, she fortunately met Commander Richards at the critical moment, and after an absence of 94 days I had the pleasure of taking him by the hand at the mouth of our canal, on the 12th of July. " 13. That night, both vessels being afloat and ready, everything was embarked, and, on the 14th of July, 11 months from leaving Beechy Island, the vessels again, free from accident of any kind, were again in motion on their proper element. 48 hours found us half way to Cape Beecher, two more days to the land floe to Cape Acland, near Sir R. Inglis Bay, and to-day 10 miles beyond Cape Beecher, with still 10 miles of open water in advance. " Dr. Osborne rejoined on the 15th, after an absence of 97 days, having worked for the position said to be attained by Messrs. Goodsir and Marshall on the south shore, but without meeting with their cairns or marks ; even until John Barron Hill bore north (true). "I have directed the North Star to take.home, at the earliest safe moment, the officers and crew of the Inves tigator, should they arrive, which, I trust, Captain Kellett will direct, as I do not conceive, looking to their lordships' instructions, that any further expense should be incurred by the detention of that vessel and crew, merely for the purpose of awaiting the movement of the ice for 20 seasons. I earnestly hope, however, that she may fortunately be released this season, and I have that full confidence in Captain Kellett that such a desirable determination will not be lost sight of in connection with the return of his own vessel this season. The cir cumstance of the progress of Commander M'Clure, and the probability of Captain Collinson's following up his track, must certainly affect my instructions, and I con fidently look for despatches to guide me in the altered: state of affairs on my return to Beechey Island. I have said sufficient of my leading officers to make their lord-. ships aware of their ability and zeal. At the end of this service I hope to be able to report of the general conduct and abilities of all the others.

" 'Do you think you could have found a better route ?—No, sir. " Do you think there is any hope of Lieutenant Bellot being alive ?—No, sir ; I am sure ho cannot be, for when we missed him we could see the shore distant then about four miles.' " W. Johnson, A. 8., further states, Lieutenant Bel lot made a remark to him a short time before he was lost, saying, nothing made him more happy to think that he was not on shore, for knowing his duty as an officer, he would see the last danger, adding that he would rather die here than be on shore to be saved. "Commander Pullen's remarks,—l think I may posi tively say, that I can place every confidence in these men's statements, particularly Johnson's, who, am happy to say, not only does his duty well, but is a moral and good man. The distances which I have placed queries against I consider they are mistaken in, which cannot be wondered at, from their anxiety, fatigue, and working for their lives ; for the distance between Point Hogarth and Cape Bowden is too great for any man to travel in so short a space of time.

On the 14th of August, as my despatch left, Com modore Pullen would inform you, I quitted Island, leaving there Captain Kellett instruc tions, and who would see the North Star safely before quitting. Steaming on, we passed up Wellington Channel without observing Baring Bay, or , any of the deep indentations of the new chart,. nor the Mount Franklin and De Haven. On the morning of the 16th we noticed a very remarkable pile on a hill, apparently the work of man, and I immediately moved on in the Pioneer, examined it, and obtained my first.well-fixed position in these regions. The pile was found to be merely the remains of a dike, which, being harder than the surrounding matter, had remained until it acquired a height of 20 feet—about 14 iu the meridian, and 6 feet E. and W. The position of our cairn (about 100 yards south of it) was in lat. 76 12 52 N., long. 92 48 42 W., evidently the rise from the point where one of the searching parties observed, in 76 13, distant about two miles west from us. But the bays, formed north and south, free from ice, do not exist in any manner worthy of more than slight indentations. The ice, or snow, as the southern land is very low, must have de ceived the previous visitors. I think I may safely say, that not the most distant hope of any communication by sea exists in this direction with Jones's Sound. Although, from the fogs and vapours which were particularly noticed from the crow's-nest on board, and by myself from the deck, exhibiting at times. the appearance of smoke from fires, I am inclined to suspect extensive lake or arms of the sea, &c., running parallel to the northern land, and possibly connecting by some very narrow neck, but westerly much, as it would otherwise materially influence the tides in this region. I now speak determinedly in calling things by their proper names—at least, if any tides are acknowledged in the English Channel—regular rise and fall, ebb and flood. Leaving this position, and having already made my mind up not to interfere with any land which could have been seen and, named by Captain Penny's people, I pushed on to the westward, reaching Cape Beecher about midnight, w h ere a d epos it o f 42 d a y s ' prov i s ions for 10 men was w e ll s ecure d, an d no ti ce o f our move ments left, Passing westerly, we reached, about 4 p.m. the extreme land.
