THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION..-CAPT. M'CLURE.
We believe that the committee on the Noith-west
Passage have resolved upon their report, and have
awarded the sum of 10,0001. to Captain MiClure and his
crew, 5,0001. of which will fall t 3 Captain M'Clure him-
self, the remainder to be divided between the officers
and crew. We hear also that medals have been pro-
posed for all who have served in the Arctic regions—a
proposition which will doubtless give general satisfac-
tion, and be an appropriate wind-up to the expeditions
in this our generation.

Surgeons Peter Suther (1805), James Henderson
(1805), Thomas E. Jones (1809), James M'Ternan (1813),
and James Wilson (1814), haver been promoted to be'
deputy inspectors of hospitals, and placed on the re-
tired list.
