nvinder M'Clure and Captain Kelm. I
have the greatest satisfaction in reporting, that during •
the prolonged oervice on which we were employed in search
ut the crews of the missicg ships, we have only lost three
men in the spring of the presto year.
I left the Instigator ou the 15:h '•f April last, in the har-
bour of toe Mercy, latitude 74.0 S., I.4.gi:udo 117.45 W.,
and cros,ing the ice with r. ache.; the Ito•Aute, at
Melville Island, on the 2nd of May.
Assisted by a party from the 'Resolute, I reached the
North Star, Seeehey Island, on the 2nd of June, with Lieu-
tenant Weymouth, whom it gives me great pleasure to
speak of in the highest terms.
have the honour to be sir, your most obedient servant,
A. 0. CRESWELL, Lieutenant,
Iler Majesty's ship luvestigator.

By Robert M'Ciure, Esq., Commander of her
Majoety's Discovery Ship Investigator, and
Senior Officer present-
Considering it of the utmost importance that the craw
should be divided, as the i,oly means of carrying the viewe
which I entertain into effect—viz., the probability of being
thereby able to extricate arid carry. home the ship, or failing
in the .tccompliahment of such design, to be enabled to meet
the exigencies of another winter in any part of three sear,
without the risk of suffering from starvation, which must
inevitably follow with the whole complement on board ; I
therefore deem no further preamble requisite, but direct
your attention to the relieving :
Having must opportunely received intelligence conveyed
under very severe and trying creumstences by Lieutenant
Pim from Captain Kellett, C. 8., of her Majesty's discovery
ship Resolute, now most pri.videntisiiy wintering at Deuly
blend, that has allayed the great apprehension which I
otherwise could not have divested myself of feeling for the
safety of those engaged in the execution of a service so
hazardous, you will cmsequently upon the 15th of the
present month, or as soon after as the weather will permit,
Proceed to the island mentioned in the preceding paragraph,
taking under your command such officers and men as are
'elected for detachment. . _

Several will require great care and attention from the
debility occasioned by the cue emie that has throughout
the late very severe winter afilicted them, consequently you
will not allow the laudable anxiety which might urge you
to accomplish the journey by undue exertion to overcome a
proper consideration for their enfeebled state, so as to tax
their strength too severely.
You will be provi-ioueu for 24 days, which will admit of
your taking easy stages for Cape Providence and Point
He sena, where you can complete your resources if necessary
and also remain to refresh your crew. Thence to the Reso-
lute is only 30 miles.
On arriving at Deely Island, and reporting yourself to
Captain Kellett, C.D., you will then, of course, be under
his orders; which you will follow fur your future guidance.
Given under my hand, on board her Majesty's
discovery shin Investigator, Bay of Mercy,

HOEEYT Ml:Luau, Commander.
To Lieutenant Creswell, of her Majesty's
discovery ship Investigator, in charge of
travelling party.
By Henry Kellett, Erq., C.B , Captain of
her Majesty's ship Resolute.
It being of importance that an officer of her Majesty's ship
Investigator should reach England by the earliest oppor-
tunity, and it being possible that these ships may not break
out this seams
You will take charge of Commander M'Clure's de-
it etches, delivering them to the commanding officer of the
arth Star, who will cause copies to be made of them for
Sir Edward Belcher's information, and return you the
original, sealed, for conveyance t', England.
You will accompany Mr. Roche, mate, who has charge
of the party, with instructions to victual you and Mr.
Wynniatt, whose health is such as to require an immediate
return to England.

Resolute, at Deily Wand, May 7, 1852,

Lieutenant Creswell, her Majesty's ship investigator.

Her Majesty's ship North Star.
Bet:they Island, Aug. 20.
Sin,—lt is my melancholy duty to inform you that two
of my men, who left this ship with Lieutenant Belot, have
just returned with the sad intelligence of, I fear, his being
drowned. The particulars of an examination of the
two men I have intrusta.l to Lieutenant Creswell, who
was present at the time. It is in a rough shape, but,
being anxious that you should be made acquainted with
the said event, I deemed it necessary to:despatch him imme-
diately.
The despatches are safe, the men having brought them
back. I have therefore to request your opinion as to whe-
ther, from the state of the ice iu the channel, which Lieu.
tenant Crowell will inform you of, it is advisable
to despatch another party or not, immediately, to endeavour
to communicate with Sir Edward Belcher.
I have, &c.,
%V. J. S. PriLENT, Commander.

THE REGISTRATIONS.

MIDDLESEX.

Yesterday Mr. Shadwell held a court at the
Sussex Hotel, 13ouverm-street, for the purpose of revising
the county list of voters contained within the parishes of
the City of London. A large number of parochial officers
were in attendance.

In St. John Zachary, in consequence of the objections
taken by the overseen to the names of dead men, and
those of the conservatives against the few living, the whole
parish has been disfranehi•ed; and the revising barrister
stated, that unless new claims were sent in next year, this
pati.h would form no part of the register for the county.
