Wootwicm, Arm 2.6.—Tna Astern Exrcurnots.—As
we hinted yesterday, the first NOUS of the Arctic Expedi-
tion, consisting of the two sailing vessels, the Resolute,
Captain H. T. Austen, C. 8., sad Assistants, Captain Om-
'maw, left Woolwich to-day. The scene, is In the cue of
the departure of the lavestigator and Eatirprise, was an
exciting one, and will long be remembered in connexion
with das history of the search after Sir John Franklin.
The Jape and Advise steam vessels, having had their
dean tip from an early hour, proceeded to take the Resolato
end AWamies in tow. On the wharf were assembled the
Commodore of the yard, the principal sacs's, and the
workamm and laboaren of the factory and dockyard,
animating to about 2,000 men. The bead of the dockyard
battalion also mustered in uniform. The Resolute was first
taken in tow by the Jasper, and as the vessel cast off from
her moorings, the band commenced playing " Should &aid
acquaintance," followed by " Hearts of Oak," " Jeannette
and Jeannot," " Rule Britannia," The assembled
thousands immediately gave three loud and prolonged
cheers, which was swelled by the crew of the
Fisgard flag-ship, who had manned the yards.
The crew of the Resolute then manned the yards,
and in return gave three cheers. About a quarter of an
hour afterwards, the Assistance was taken in tow by the
Advice, and left her moorings amidst similar demonstra-
tions. Beth vessels will lie for IKON days at Oreenhithe, to
complete the shipment of their stores, and to have their com-
passes adjusted. The Intrepid, et.-v., will be andocked to-
morrow evening or on Saturday morning ; sad both that
vessel and the Pioneer will, it is expected, leave Woolwich
en Saturday, and
.join the sailing vessels at Oreenhithe. It
is not at all probable that the expedition will finally quit the
river before the Ist of May.—Locust. et.-v., is ordered to be
paid off to.morrow.-11ndias, st.-v., left yesterday for Dover,
I having geglegese soma slight repairs in her machinery.
She resumes her duties as a mail packet at that port.
