It appears that the toils and the solftrings of the expedition
Lave been of the most Saying diescription, and that if they do
nut exceed belief, they were at least of such a n tote as almost
to overcome the stoutest heart, and deter all future attempts of
a similar tendency. It waa Wed out in the summer of 1810,
and, in the course of the follow jug year, it was enabled by a
liberal aid and rcinforeament front the North West Company,
to advance to the shores of the Great Bear Lake, which we

Hitherto the expedition was agcompaiiied by 11r. Wititael, a
clerk to the North West Cerulean), with ten of their best
hunters ; but the wide and open sea, which appeared at the
coilluesice of the river with the ocean, elided the expedition
so 1111101 with the hope of ultimate sucee us, that it was thought
prop( rto dispense with the limber attendance of Mr. 11 int-
zel and his hunters, who accordingly re; turned up the river,
leaving the expedition to proceed iu two caiioes to explore the
coast of the Polar Sea, eastward front the month of the Cop-
per 3line River, towards Hudson's Boy: !iut it seems, that
in consequence cf the approach of winter so early as the latter

extremely bare and ill-provided wardrobe, the expedition was

AY. the expedition returned, its wants and its exigencies be-
came alarming iu the extreme. and it soon requirsal the vsle4,
fortitude of the heart, and the utmost exertion t.: the halite,
to brave the hardship which stared it in the face. li, approach-
ing that part of the Copper Mine River from which it set out,
:t was necessary to double an immense point of la ail, which
would occupy a greater length of time than its eat ogencies
would well of admit of, and it was therefore deemed necessary
to set the canoes adrift, and cut a direct course over land to
the Copper Aline River. When the travellers arrived on the
banks of the river, they experienced some puzzling dilliotilties
how to get across, but having killed ten elks, with the skins
of which they connived to construct a C4,1111', this hariship
was soon overcome ; but the joy which it dilrused was ss tmi-
sient as disappniated hope. In forcing their melancholy tiny
through the untravelled wilds between the Copper Mine River
and the Great Bear Lake. they fell completely abort of provi-
sions, and were far many days under the necessity of animist-
ing upon sea weeds, and a rioder produced from pounding the
*libeled buts of the food which they had already consumed.
In this struggle between the li,ve of life and the dread of a
death that must he ttnifying to all mankind, Mr. Wood, nine
Canadians, and an Esquiniaus, fell untimely and regretted
victims ; and bad cot the survivors, who for several days were
driven to the necessity of prolonging a miserable existence by
feetUng opon the tattered remnants of their shoes, stud we fear,
mime a more forbidding and unpJatable fare, exerted them-
selv.ii by a super-human afrott to reach the Great Bear Lake,
it is prolithle thia they would base all sullered the most ex-
quisite audiappallin • martyrdom. Ilersi they found the heeds
and the blelliclied bones 4 of the animals that bud served them for
last winter I provisions, which allorded them the melancholy
ingrediehts fur preserving the vital spark, until their at rival at
Fume post belonging to the Iludson'sllty Company. It is said
that upon the arrival hi the s wising patty of the expedition
ai 3i7VC Lahr, the Canadians there were very nigh breaking forth
into some arming outrage when they found that their Fulmer
comrades. tend of re:uruing with the expedition, had been
lost for eve ; but we Lad. rstand that no serious injury has
transpired i consequence of this very natural disappoiutincut.

It will be seen by the following article of intelligence from
Lloyd's List of Thursday, that Lieutenant Franklin, and the
rest of the Keotlemen composing the above expedition, hate
arrived sate Li England :

w hereupon an iudictident fur munslaughter was framed, on
%Licit charge he was tried. The case excited considerable
intermit. Nearly all the inhabitants of Nevis, and many persons
flan the neighbouring iskints, were assembled. Sixteen pro-
fessional geotlemen of Nevis attended. The prosecution was
conducted by the Hon. John SVoodley, Attorney-General ; the
Hon. John Stephens, Solicitor-General, of Nevis; and G. W.

Woodcock, and Smith, and Sidney Stephen, Esq. from St.
Kilts Tbe details of the evidence would nut be of much in-
terest here. It will be recollected that time fatal contest was
produced by certain otkosive epithet. applied by Mr. Maynard
