ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY.

On Monday evening the usual meeting of the
members of this society took plan at the Royal Institution,
in Albonbarle.street—Sir Rummel/a, pretident, in thi
AMY.

A paper was read descriptive of Dr. Rae's exploration of
the Arnie regime in starch of Sir John Franklin and his
companions. The document gave an interesting description
of the progress of Dr. Rae'. expedition, and went on to
state that, after advancing nearly 16 miles into the regions
sought to be explored, the party arrived at a bay of coast-
derable extent. To this bay the name of Parker was givea ;
its west point thee named Start, after the celebrated Aus-
tralian traveller; and its eastern boundary received the ap-
. palliation of Ilacready in honour of the distinguished era-'
gedian. Some time having been spent is examining the
shore sad taking bearings, they passed a low stony point
fronted with limestone ruck, • few feet in height, and this
' spot was named Kean Point. About noon they
• cluster of small islands, sad Dr. Rae on
wonon of them, which was called Lind, in honour of • lady
whose sweetness of voice and noble generosity had
been the theme of every tongue. Pursuing their tonne
along shore they had the satisfaction of picking up a piece
of pine wood, which excited much interest. In appear.
ante it resembled the butt-end of • small flag staff, was 6 ft.
9 inches in length, and was round except at the lower end
which was • square of 21 inches. It had a curious mark
resembling this (SC.), apparently stamped on one side, and
at 2; feet distance from the top tlaere was a bit of white line
in tbe form of • loop nailed on it with two copper Melia.
Both the line aid the tacks ban*. geeeraMt mart, the
broad snow being stamped on the tter, and the former
having a red worsted thread running through it. They
had not advanced half a mile when another piece of wood
was discovered lying in the water, but touching the beach.
This was a piece of oak 3 feet 8 inches long—the lower
part to the height of a foot end • half, was • square of 31
inches. Half of the square, to the extent of 6 inches at the
end, was cut off, apparently to fit into • clasp or band of
iron, as there was a mark of three inches broad across it.
The remaining part of the 'Mechem' (as he supposed it to
be), had been turned in a turning lathe, and was 3 lathes
in diameter. From the circumstance of the flood tide com-
ing from the northward, along the east shore of Victoria
Land, there could be no doubt that there was a water
channel dividing Victoria Land from North Somer-
set, and through this channel Dr. Rae believed the
pieces of weed had been carried along with the
immense quantities of ice, which a long continuance of
northerly and north-easterly winch., aided by the flood tide,
had driven southward. The spot where the wood was
found is latitude fitt 52 N., longitude 103.20 W. Dr. Rae
mentioned the fact that the success of the party in hunting
was such as to induce the belief that there was sufficient
animal food to support life. In proof of this he stated that
the provisions consumed from the 20th of June to the 21st of
September amounted only to 41 bags of flour and 1.74 lbs.
of dry moat, the greater part of which was given to the
dogs ; and yet the party had plenty of food, and there was
not a single case of sickness during the fifteen months of the
expedition. The paper was listened to with great atten-
tion throughout, and the chairman, in calling attention to
Dr. Rae's efforts, observed that in two expeditions he had
traversed upwards of 2,000 miles on loot, thus proving that
an enterprising Arctic traveller had difficulties to encounter
which entitled him to the sincere thanks of all who felt an
interest in those subjects.
Sir GEORGE BACK, on being requested to give his opi-
mien respecting the pieces of wood in question, observed
that there cool be no doubt they belonged to some vessel
which had sailed from one of her Majesty's dock yards.
Captain 0 v (another Arctic traveller) was of
opinion that the pieces of wood belonged to the rigging of
• ship ; but it was impossible to state what description of
vessel they had been detached from.
Dr. TIarMAPI thought that the existence of animals in
the regions explored, was sufficient to furnish a strong hope
that Sir John Franklin and his party bad found the means
tot sustaining life.
Captain OnMANNIST differed from the opinions which had
been expressed by many persons, upon this point ; for he
did not believe that there was much cause for calculating
upon the preservation of Sir John Franklin, being derived
from the fact that he had found sufficient animal food to
sustain him.

The eiTtlexerr observed that Si, John Richardson, Dr.
Scoresby, and Captain Kellett, had found large quantities
of animals in Melville island, and it appeared that their
labours had extended further north than the regions ex-
plored by Captain Ommanncy.
Aa interesting discussion ensued upon this subject, and
several gentlemen expressed their opinion, not only that
then was good ground for supposing that the party forming
Sir J. Franklin's expedition had met with sufficient animal
food to sustain life, but that it was highly desirable to en-
courage the impression on the ppublic mind. Others were
of the same opinion as Captain ney ; but the clea-
n= observed, on the part of that gentleman, that he had
made his statement merely with the view of cautioning
thole who placed too much faith on the existence of animal
food in the regions known to be exploied by Sir John
Franklin. • _ _

The following statement, pre word and condensed
from various official returns, will be found to present
an intelligible view of the note circulation of the
United Kingdom, and of the coin and bullion held by
the banks indicated, both positively at the dates of
the accounts last made up, and comparatively with
the returns for corresponding periods:
The subjoined table gives the aggregate weekly
average of the note circulation of the United King-
dom, as it stood for the four weeks ending the 28th
iry, and the 6th, 13th, and 20th March last,
the latest date to which the returns have been
rely completed for all the banks of home; and
aktf the results as compared with the returns for the
previous four weeks ending the 21st of February.

Showing a decrease of 287,5941. in the note cir-
culation of England and Wales, and a decrease
of 176,3161. in the circulation of the United King-
dom when compared with the returns for the previous
four weeks, ending the 21st of February.
On comparing the above returns with the fixed
issues of the several banks, we find the following to
be the state of the circulation :
The fixed issues of the private banks of England
and Wales being at present, after deducting those
which have ceased to issue, 4,698,0751., it follows
they were below the amount 1,300,8921.
The fixed issues of the joint-stack banks being
3,109,9871., it follows they were below the amount
678,545/.
The fixed issues of the Scotch banks being
3,087,209!., it follows they were below the amount
5,4401., with specie in hand to cover issues for
983,0191. besides.

The fixed issuesof the Irish banks being 6,334,494/.,
it follows they were below the amount 1,792,0001.,
with specie in hand to cover issues for 1,263,4881.
more.

'•l

We find, therefore, that the note circulation of the
private and joint stock banks of England and Wales
was 1,977,437/. below tho amount authorised to be
issued; and that, inclusive of Scotland and Ireland,
the circulation was 3,774,8771. below the fixed
amount.

The average amount of coin and bullion held by
the Bank of England in both departments during the
four weeks ending the 20th ult. was 19,617,2741.,
showing an increase on the previous month's return
of no less than 1,007,0211. In the month with which
this return is contrasted, the increase was 827,870/,

The average of specie held by the Scotch banks
during the same term was 983,0191.; increase on the

In the item of specie these returns consequently
show an aggregate increase of 1,032,9161. on the

WEDNIEADAY EVILKINO.
The market for English mines has been well sus-
tained during the whole of the day, and the closing
prices of many of the well-established mines show a
marked improvement. In several of the new ad-
ventures increased prices have been obtained, and a
continued advance is anticipated. The quotations
have not materially changed since yesterday, but in
the following stock considerable business has been
done at the prices marked :—Wheal Cubert, 21, 31;

Trannack and Bosenco, 4,41; West Ding Wog, 51,
; Clive, 1,2; Trevelyan, 3, 4 ; Kenmare, to
prem.
With the exception of Colonial Gold shares, in
Rhich there were some very large transactions at 4
to prem., the gold mining shares remain quiet at
former rates. New Granada shares are tooted at
9-16 to 11-16 prem., and South Australian copper at
to 1 prem.
By several arrivals within the last kw days, ac-
counts have been received from Sydney to the 20th
of Dec., and from Port Phillip to the 12th and 22d
idem. The Sydney letters state that the quantity of
gold that was coming forward was greater than was
before known, the intelligence from the mines
being of the most satisfactory character. The
arrivals in Sydney 17 one week's escort
are thus reported: Prom Ophir, 521 oz. ;
Memo, 919 oz. ; Bathurst, 402 oz.; Turon, 3,978 oz. ;
Araluen, 2,558 oz. ; Goulburn, 181 oz.; whilst by
the mails were brought in 237 oz. from Bathurst,
1,210 oz. from Turon, 297 oz. from Braidwood, 13
oz. from Bmnlee, and 18 oz. from Queanbeyan.
This statement is interesting as showing the extent
of country in this particular district from which ar-
rivals of the precious metal were regularly taking
place. In the same week were received 1,959 oz. by
private hands, giving a total of about 40,0004 during
the week, or at the rate of upwards of two millions
sterling per annum from this ono district alone.
One of the most important events of the day was
the discovery of an extraordinary nuftgett at Louisa
Creek, which was submitted to public competition.
It is not surprising that a speminen of such value
should have drawn together an immense concourse
of persons, so much so, that the room was crowded
to suffocation, and hundreds went away disappointed
at not being able to obtain admittance. 'Hie Chief
Justice, the Colonial Secretary, several members of
the Legislative Council, and a number of the leading
merchants, were present. After a short but spirited
competition, it was knocked down to Mr. George A.
Lloyd and Thomas Holt, jun., Esq., for 1,1 ijd. It
was reported to weigh 3:36 oz., but the actual weight
is 341 oz. 5 dwts. The party by which it was found,
states a local authority, were just about to knock ott
work to get their dinner, when one of them struck
his pick on a hard substance. " I have got some-
thing here," said he. olt is only a boulder," replied
his brother; but upon prizing it up from the clayey
soil by which it was surrounded, their enraptured
eyes fell upon this magnificent specimen of Austra-
ha's golden treasure.
The most important announcement by the last ar-
rival from Port Philip is the discovery of gold in
New Zealand, at Otago. The authority upon which
this important piece of news is founded is unexeep-
tionable, being that of Mr. Cargill, the commissioner of
crown lands at Dunedin, who has received specimens
found in several localities, and affording indubitable
proof of the existence of the precious metal in the
southern island. Most of the specimens were taken
from the estate of a gentleman at Goodwood, and a
quantity of gold dust had been received from the
same quarter. A gentleman eonneetal with the
Otago Agricultural Association had duly tested the
quartz specimens, and reported that they took the
tests, which consisted of nitro-muriatic acid and
quicksilver. We have no authentic information as
to the quantity of the precious metal that is likely to
be found, though, judging from the extent of country
abounding in quartz, It will probably be considerable.
In the colony of Victoria wonderful discoveries
were still being made. During the last week no
less than 13,000 ounces of gold had come into Mel-
bourne and Geelong, and much more would have
arrived if the conveyance had been adequate. The
Mount Alexander diggings are reported as more
prolific than any yet discovered. Instances are
recorded of seven men obtaining 500 ounces in three
weeks, and another party of two mon 400 ounces in
the same time. It is most remarkable that the gold
is found in these large quantities almost on the sur-
face.
