The Career, Last Voyage, and Fate of Captain Sir
John Franklin. By Captain SHXRARD OSBORN,
C.B. Bradbury and Evans.

This picturesque and animated sketch of one of
the noblest chapters, though innocent of bloodshed,
in the grand history of English naval enterprise, was
first published in the popular pages of Ow* s Week.
Its author, Captain Sherard Osborn, seaman,
fighter, and writer, hes been in the Arctic Regions
himself, as indeed he has been almost everywhere
else where ships can go, and be knows by expe-
rience the perilous navigation of the icy channels,
the death-like reign of Winter in the far north, the
hardships and strange obstacles which the gallant
company of the Erebus and Terror had to encounter.
He writes with such freshness and vivacity of style
that the subject, deeply interesting in itself, assumes
the air of a novelty, and some of its features seem
to be vividly impressed upon the reader's imagina-
tion, as it wen, for the first time. As a biogra-
phical emay, this account of the brave deeds and
faithful services of the chivalrous explorer, on
whose mysterious fate we have all pondered for
years with the sincerest anxiety, offers a moat in-
spiring and instructive study. Five short chapters,
illustrated by several bold woodcuts, compose the
little book, which is mare of an extensive accept-
ing).

ENFIANCIIIBIIIOINT OF WALSALL
--4-

A nOnerous and influential deputation of the in.
bobbled@ of Chelsea waited upon Sir G. C. Lewis "yester-
day, at the Honomillte, km urge upon the government the
procaisfy of fonsdas their locality Into a separate borough.
There were pressed the Hon. O. Brig, M.P., Mr.
Banbury, MY., Mr. Terms WCullegh, Dr. Dipleok and
Mr. Hale (olturchwerdens), Mr. Walker (chairmen of the
board of gueodiens), /Ir. Perry, Mr. Archbutt, Mr. Rabbits,
Mr. Whitehead, Mr. Lawrence, Mr. Finch, Mr. Loge, Mr.
Demote* Mr. Hulse, Mr. Yapp, Mr. Pratt, Mr. Jones, Mr.
Collier, Mr. Goss, kr. Powell, Mr. Breen, and Mr. Delany.
Xr. T. Wetrixame said he had been requested te state,
on behalf of those by whom they had been deputed to waft
upon the Home Secretary, the grounds on which they
claimed to have the benefit in future of separate and direct
representation. The area of Chelsea was 771 awes, nearly
`the whole of which was now occupied with dwelling-kowtow
or places of business. In number theme amounted
to 8,262, constituting no lass than twenty-one melee of
streets ; the sitimaled medal, according to Mold retorts, was
888,2891. ; and to the property tax Chelsea wee rated at
267,8971. a year. They were anxious not to over their
tees is soy particular ; they believed, indeed, that its
stmength, te every reasonable point of view, needed not
the aid of emegginatino. He would, thsrefors, take the
&owl populedsa at 66,000, although some put it higher ;
but ems at that estimate be was prepared to show that,
both ram* of population and property, they wars
entitled, In Oat et piddle 1101107 end hake
two borough members salved theta. Mr. in
here direised the edged= of Sir Cf. C. Lewis to a
list of towns, 20 in number, each of which returned two
lasminn, and not one of 'hi& equalled Chelsea either
in or population. They were : Blackburn,
Coventry Cricklade, Derby, Devosport, Exeter,
.Halifen, Ipswich, Macclesfield, • Nottingham, Plymouth,
Shoreham, Southampton, Stroud, Stockport, Wigan; Wor-
cester, Yarmouth, and York. But this was not all.
He had a awed list premed, In which there
were enumerated twenty other towns—Aylasbury, Boston,
Chester, Coldiester,Dover, Takeout Gloucester,
Hastings,_ Lynn, Lancaster, Maid/dose, Northampton.
Oxford, Bea ltecheater, Scarborough, Shrewsbury,
Trenton. Wmtoeno not Med which lad ball the number of
inhabitants, or half the rateable property of Chelsea. Some
of these places might possess larger epecial employments, but
it could not be said that any of them contained a more
Intelligent or orderly community. Respecting the lattgr the-
themig to mint appeal the records of the depart-
mutt over which Sir G. C. Lewis presided, and which were
veld of Imputation against them. Regarding the former he
might observe that Chelsea contained more than the tend
amber of schools and reading rooms, while there were eight
churches, and fourteen places of worship belonging to other
doitenthistions. A considerable clam existed mond- them

datable' pewits„ end who made choice of Chelsea se their
plead realtainee. It inlaid probably be thought by those
who had dm tonna. og the bill ebwt to be submitted to

who wore county electors; in point of-fact, the people felt no
identity of interests or ersociatiocs with the people. of the
county, and being utterly outnumbered they did not, even
claim to be registered ; were the franchise lowered their can
in this respect would be wondered worse, and not hotter.
Middlesex had now upwards of fourteen thousand electors.
If the suffrage in counties were reduced is IW. there would
probably be more than thirty thousand, and even wale the •
constituency divided, as had been proposed last session, each
division would probably contain upwards of aftems thousand
voters. The people of Chelsea could not regard inclusion in
snob a body as this as a fair and just recognition of their rights
as the inhabitants of an opulent, intelligent, and well-
ordered town ; socially or hidustrially there weenothing in
common between them and the dwellers in the county.
They Mt that they wore now denied all reel sham in the
representation, but they Mosta that =Misters would see
the justice and expediency of advising parliament to redress
in their behalf ao palpable and undeserved a wrong.
Mr. ARCHBUTT said the deputation, though rinmarous,was
but small compared with those who felt anxiously and acted
cordially together on this quation. He felt as a Chelsea-
man that Chelsea ought to haw dtreot representation. Lord
John Russell, in his bill of 1864, had appropriated two mem-
bers to Chelsea and Kensington ; but at the present day the
Inhabitants of the former wished for representation. Feel-
leg that there tree AKu► homogeneity in Cholera the pesple
' could week and act together ; their &tenets 'were Ideated ;
whereas, when they were united parochially with !Ceasing-
ton, there was continued disunion untie separation took place
by act of parliament. They therefore hoped that in
any appropriation of members that might take place, Chel-
sea, which had 41 wa). been atown, might be allowed to, have
Its Just proportion of representatives in parliament.
Sir Coaxawaxt Lewis asked if Bloaneettreet wee not in
Chelsea, and whether many persons residing them were not
engaged in various parts of the metropolis P
Mr. ARCHBOTT replied that it was, but =eh we ths rasa
in Brighton and other places though the people there were
not deprived of their electors! rights on that account.
Mr.lirito, M.P., said during the time he and his' col-
league, Mr. Heabury, had represented the county, they
had hod constant opportunities of observiag the depth and
unanimity of feeling that prevailed in Chelsea on the com-
et= of its whanchimmont. Chelsea might be said to be
the largest distinct unrepresented portion/no in Ragland.
No town could put in such a claim, and he might say th
however willing, no county mamba could possibly attend
adequately to the varied interests and paramount claims
of both town and °aunty. He hoped that Chelsea might
not be forgotten in the next Reform Bill.

Mr. Raxelre observed t, upon
Westminster, many of the humble classes possessed vutas
end valued their posiession, and it was constantly of inTidiese
comparison that their neighbours and aseoeiates who dwelt
in Chelsea were destitute of similar privileges. This occa-
sioned no little disconteat and dissatisfeetion with the existing
order of things.
Bir C. Lserra thought that Chelsea might be cousidered as
virtually a part of the metropolis, being brought with* the
Metropolitaa not. Re underetoot from the deputation that
they had net asited to be united with other parishes, bat to
be constitattd ante a borough of their own. If Chelsea had
bees situated in any other part of the kingdom it would have
bees hag ago adWhed to the rights of separate re ter
tics; sad it was only is so far as it might be hold to be a
part of London that its present claim was likely to be
disputed.
Mr. WHITZIINAD thought that this, were many both in
Yentibgtos end Chelsea who* halm were not **row

ARAM4TI4 EQU3STRI4N, AND MUSICAL
8101 7UND ASSOCIATION.

Yesterday afternoon a numerously attended gene
cal public meeting of the subecribers, donors, sad aeatben of
the above benevolent institution wee held is the saloon el the
Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, tomunition and confirm • reso-
lution passed in epodel committee on Tuesday. Dec. 29;1659,
for a grant of 2601. to build one house fur tin Royal Drametio
College; end to sanction and confirm a resolution pawed is
special committee on the canto day for a grant of 2601. to
form the nucleus of a supersunuatkot fund for the members
of this amociatice.
Mr. B. WEBSTER, president of the institution, onapied
the chair.
The CITEIRMEW in proposing that the first resolution of
the committee should receive the sanction of the meeting, re-
marked that it would not be necessary for him to advert at
soy length to the merits of the Dramatic College, inasmuch
as they were all well aware of the purposo for which it was
designed. it had created great interest in the minds of all
classes; and had received the approbation end support of
both high and low. It wit., indeed, one of those things
which would act like a monument to their profession. (Rear,
hear.) Re begged, therefore, that the meeting would con-
sent to the proposal of the committee. Every other
feed esinsected with the profession had adopted a similar
course, and be should not tike their aseridatis.g to be the
only exception. (Hear, hear.) The Drury-lase Fond had
built two haws, the Covent-garden Fund two, sad the
General Theatrical Fund two ; so that if the meeting voted
in favour of the proposal, eight houses would be paid for ;
sad the fund twat' would only have to build two. It would
be found, too, that in the arraignment of the houses the
comfort of the residents had tact been neglected. On the
contrary, everything that could inerease their ems and con-
vesisoce bad been studied. The situation was most pio-
Wrenn., and eltogether the institution would be • pride to
them all.
Mr. BABIE Porrza &sounded the motion, which was car-
ried unanimously.
Mr. Putia.tes then proposed that the meeting should
sanction sad confirm the proposal of the committee relative
to the sammesnianon fund, and stated that the finances of
the emanation were very firm and healthy.
Mr. Rioasdi seconded the motion.

Mr. Anson (the memory)Mated that Mr. Tidd Pratt
had Madly volunteered his assistance is framing tables, &c.,
for the inenarement of the fond. It woe proposed to grant
mem Or 64., 7e. 6d., and 10e. per week, nedee ordain condi-
tires, to pavane of the age of 60 ; but it wee not intended
to interfere with any other fund—the sole object, of the com-
mittee below to form motnething to benefit Most who oosld
see ailed to join other heeds.
The motion woe then put, and carried unaaimously.
numbs were then voted to Mr. E. T. Smith for granting
the weal the oaken for tie Mang; and after a similar
compliment had been paid to the Chairman fur presides', the
scoessellap closed.
