__THHARCTIC EXPEDITIONS.

Mr. VERNON rose to pat • question relative to her
Majesty's ship Plover. It appeared that that ship was in
such a situation that she could only be communicated with
six months in the year, and that she was in • leaky con-
dition. It had therefore been sesgened that a steam vessel
should be sent out to her relied. sad Admiral Beaufort had
expressed a very strong opinion Mat *at should be done.
The Enterprise and Investigates. hal ail been heard of for
two years. tinder these Co.eamoMmis he (Mr. Vernon)
wished to ask the right hes. Wesel gambit he was pre-
pared to state the reams whisk kad Waged the late
Board of Admiralty to soma oat the Bettleesake (a sailing
vessel) to communicate with the Plover, in preference to a
screw steamer, which appeared to the but authorities to be
most likely to perform the service in au efficient manner ?
Si, J. GRAHAM (who was very indistlatly heard) was
understood to say that when the present board came into
office they found the arrangements for sending out a sailing
vessel instead of a steamer, already made. The order bon
date the 16th of December, and the present board entirely
concurred in its propriety. There were already three or
four expeditions oontprising 600 seamen engird on this
dangerous service ; and it would not be expedient to mend
within the ice any fresh reinforcement. (Hear, hear.) He
should be happy to lay the papers on the table.
