SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.
TO,THE EDITOR OF THE SHIPPING AND MERCANTILE
GAZETTE.
Sir,—Having been favoured with a most encouraging
extract from a letter in rilerence to the probability of
Sir John Franklin's expedition to the Arctic regions
succeeding in their object, and returning once more to
fold England, we beg to offer you the same for publica-
tion. It is from the pen of Mr. Blenkey, ice-master on
board the Terrer, from whose wife we have received the
same, and vouch for its veracity,
ire are, Sir, your obedient servants,

" Di6CO Island, July 12, 1845.
" The season is very open, much such an one as when
we came out with Capt. Ross; we are all in good health
and spirits; one and all appear to be of the same deter-
mination—that is, to persevere its)making the north-west
passage. If we are not home in the fall. of '4B, or early
inthes
or likely to d
spring
youi
sor and anticipate we have made a
passage, nd if so we may be from
five to six years (it might be into the seventh), and
should it be so, do not allow any person to dishearten
you on the length of our absence, but look forward with
hope that Providence will at last restore us to you."

man and woman entered, a few days ago, the shop of a sau-
sage maker in the Rue de la Colline, at Brussels, and made
some trifling purchase. Whilst the gentleman was paying
for it, the female went into the yard, and seeing some tongues
and other things exposed on a board, she could not resist the
temptation of slipping n. them beneath her gow As she was
leaving, a dog thrust his nose in a strange way into her pet-
ticoats. The woman cried; the man struck the dog with
his stick ; but at last the animal seized the tongues, &c.,
and dragged them out. The man was astonished, and the
female seemed overwhelmed with mortification. The trades-
man threatened to send for the police, but at the prayer of
