THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION•
The following dispatches from the expedition have
been received at the Admiralty :
" Ile: Majesty's ship Assistance, off Cape Warrender,

Aug. 7.
" Sir,--I have the honour to acquaint you, for the in-
formation of my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty,
that 1 reached this station today. Ott the 29th of July.
owing to separation in fog, the Rosolutc, Intrepid, and
North Star, taking an inshore lead. became entirely so•
pirated, but were in a better condition to advance than
ourselves.
Therefore, before losing sight, made the several ren-
dezrous—C3pe D. Digges, Cape Horsburgh, Cape War-
render, and Admiralty Inlet.
"On the 31st July I called at and communicated with
the natives of Cape Cork, and left documents for Captain
Kellett at the Cape Extreme.
The same night I did the same at Cape Dudley
Digge.A, &siring him to follow on the other rend, zvous,'
as Las lead might clear him of the ic,l at a more southern
position, and he might not; without ruinous delay, be
able to reach Cape Dudly Digges.
" Having cleared the ice, and being uncertain whe-
ther our consorts might be ahead or astern, I made all
haste to Cape Warrender, and expected to sight it on the
2d of August. Strong currents and a strong gale drove
us to the southward of Possession Bay.
" On the sth I endeavoured to land on that coast, but
the swell, together with the loose ice, cast in by the late
gales, rendered it impossible.
" I then reached off to obtain smoother water on this
coast, and shall endeavour to place this on Cape War-
render, moving on with all dispatch to the final rendez-
vous at Beecby Island, where I expect to find the rest of
the squadron.
" As Captain Kellett had with him the Alexander
whaler I trust he will have given a full aceaunt of his
proceedings since parting.
" All on hoard are well with but two trilling cases in
the list, kept there to insure rezovery of strength.—l
have the honour, &c.,
" EDWARD BELCHER,
" Captain commanding Arctic Expedition.
" To the Secretary of the Admiralty, London."

" Her Majesty'. ship Assistance, Beeohy Island,
Aug. 14.
" Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you, for the in-
formation of my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty,
that I reached this position on the evening of the 11th,
where I bad the gratification of finding the Resolute and
North Star, the Intrepid having joined me in the Straits

and towed me up.
" 2. I had d►spstched the Pioneer from Cape War-
render to examine Navy Board Inlet for information, and
deposit the duplicate of No. 10, left at Cape Warrender;
also to report on the state of the provisions, as in copy
of instructions inclosed.
" 3. At Cape Warrender I found the cairn and post
erected by Captain Austin's expedition, but no docu-
ment. The tally, having written on it, ':Pull out
record,' was found beside the cairn, deeply impressed by
the teeth of somo small animal. No trace of the visit

" You will carefully examine for records, and leave
behind a case containing information of your visit, as
well as the document intrusted to you.
" If the weather permits, and you have a chance con-
veniently to examine Cape Castkreagh, acre are some
casks of coil deposited there by Captain Parker, of the
Truo Love, which you might embark.
"You will rejoi❑ me with all dispatch at Beechy
" Given under my hand, off Cape Werrender, this ith
of August. "EDWARD BELCHER.
Captain, Commanding Arctic Exoeclition.
"Lieutenant Sherrard Osborn, her Majesty's

steam-vessel P►oneer."

" Her 'Majesty's steamer Pioneer, tender to her
Majesty's ship Assistance, Aug. 12. ,
" Sir,—l beg to report the return of her Majesty
steam-vessel Pioneer from Navy Board Inlet, which I
have examined, in obedience to your orders of the 7th
of August, without having been able to discover the
depot of provisions found by her Majesty's ship North
Star.
" The following is a summary of my proceedinga,since
parting company:—
" Sunday, Aug. 8, 3 A M.—Having run the dietance
across Lancaster Sound we wore ship, and at the same
time ob.erved the southern coast. It continued to blow
hard from north east, with snow and a heavy ses run-
ning; we therefore endeavoured to hold our positron off
the eastern side of the inlet, and succeeded in doing so
with some difficulty.
" Monday, Aug. 9, 3 A.M.—The gale broke, and I
immediately commenced the search, steaming along the
shore as close as a heavy sea would admit of. On Cape
Castlereagh a small pile of coal bags was seen, doubtless
those left by Captain Parker, of the True Love. The
surf breaking on the coast rendered the embarkation of
them impossible. I next examined the Wollaston Isles,
and could find neither cairns or beacons, the recent
heavy fall of snow adding to the difficulty of detecting
mere piles of stones. On the centre island of the three
constituting the group I erected a cairn or beacon, and
executed your instructions relative to the documents to
be there placed. The eastern shores )f the inlet for a
distance of ten miles were searched as carefully as was
consistent with dispatch, and I the) crossed over to
the west shore, following it all along ;o a small rocky
inlet, which marks the western extreue of Navy Board
Inlet.

of man.
' 4. At Cape Hurd I found a document deposited by
the Intrepid.
" 5. On the afternoon of the 13th the Pioneer re-
turned from Navy Board Inlet, having searched for the
provisions deposited by the North Star, but without
success, as will appear by the annexed report of Lieute-
nant Osborn.
" 6. Immediately upon my arrival here, accompanied
by Captain Kellett, I proceeded with service parties,
under the command of Commodore Richards and Lieu-
tenant Cheyne, to examine closely Beechy Island and
coasts adjacent for records of the missing expedition, but
without the slightest increase of importance.
" 7. After a most laborious search, including the lines
of direction of the headboards of the graves, and
head and foot, as well as at 10 feet distance, aad
throughout the loose earth, no trace, nor even a scratch
on the paint work, could be traced.
" 8. Upon very mature consideration, aided by Cap-
tain Kellett and Commander Pullen, I arrived at the
conviction that no hurry in removing from these winter
ter quarters can be traced. Everything bears the stamp
of order and regularity; and although it is matter of
intense surprise and incomprehensible to all, it is my
firm conviction that no intention of leaving a record at
this position existed.
" 9. Other reasons occur to me for such determination,
the principal of which is, that Sir John Franklin would
not consider this as a likely spot for inquiry, and it is
evident that by mere chance only they happened to fall
upon his traces. If I am asked why, my reply is that at
Cape Riley, or any other more prominent and accessible
positions, beyond the discovery of former visitors, Sir
John Franklin would place his beacon; certainly not
here.
" 10. It may next be inquired, why have the former
searching parties failed to tied these marks? My reply
again is, look even to the cairns erected last year by the
well urganiz,cl expedition of nay predecessors. They are
easily overlooked, passed unnoticed, or destroyed by
animals.
" 11. We have not been able, even with this very open
season, to trace the large supplies left at Navy Board
Inlet by the North Star, and no beacon marks their
whereabouts. How, then, are the distreived to avail
themselves of this ilet".?
" 12. Port Leopold is at present equally inaccessible,
as reported fey Commander Nl'Clintock, who sought
me in that neighbourhood. It is, therefore, a most se-
rious drawback to any chances of relief that these depOLs

The ice outside of it, which extended for the distance of
some twenty miles, was slack, but in the inlet I regretted
to find a body of close heavy ice. Forcing through all
we safely could, I again examined the western shore,
which from its appearance was likely to have been used
for landing provisions upon, but with no success. The
eastern side, as well as the Woollaston Isles, was sur-
rounded with a pack, and the sudden springing up of a
northerly breeze began to send the ice fast into the
inlet. Finding the ice too heavy for the vessel to break
through, and having no certain knowledge of the where-
abouts of the depot in so extensive a coast line as that
of the inlet, I deemed it right to run no further risk of
being beset; and on Wednesday, at four o'clock A.M.,
desisted in the search, and made the best of nay way to
rejoin the squadron.
" We saw no Esquimau% about the inlet, and I have
no doubt the provisions and stores are nearly hidden by
accumulated suow, which, in the absence of cairns,
it will be difficult to find, unless their position be
known.

time to return to Graham Moore Bay, whi:re it is not
improbable that you may find an opening into the Queen's

"I think it highly probable that the Intrepid might
reach Winterharbour, and deposit the provisions and

" By a printed copy of the instructions under which
lam precßecling, and furnished you in my letter con-
taining the original rendezvous, &c., you will be already
fully informed of the station to bo allotted to the North
Star, under your command.
" That is, to remain as depot at Beechy Island, until
you receive further instructions from me, or from any
other your superior, for your further guidance.
" You will be supplied with copies of all instructions
furnished to other officers in command, and you will
cause copies to be made in order to transmit them to
England, should any opportunity offer.
" During this season you will dispatch two sledge
parties to form depots on the east side of Wellington
Channel preparatory to more decided exploration of
North Devon Jones's Sound, and the land northerly in
the spring of 1853.
" O❑ both these explorations you will give the direc-
tion of one sledge, or both sledges, to the surgeon, Mr.
M'Cormick, who has been expressly selected and appro-
priated for this duty, and you will afford every facility
for this enterprising volunteer.
"On the other two, which will probably accompany
him as far as Baring Bay in the spring of 1853, I must
leave the command to your own discretion.
"But you must clearly bear in mind that the two last
must not be allotted to any extended journey, which
may risk the requirement of the North Star for imme-
diate service in the summer of 1853.
" During the remainder of this season you will em-
ploy your artificers in constructing a compact house fur
the shelter of 60 persons, if possible, in the event of
accident rendering it necessary to dispatch the North
Star to England.
" You have already timber sufficient saved from wrecks,
and until the squadron separates you will receive every
assistance from it. In the event of the Assistance
making successful progress this season towards or into
the Queen's Channel, you will dispatch one sledge party
to meet one from the Assistance in the spring of 1853.
"You will instruct the officer in charge to call at
Point Philip, Baillie Hamilton Island, Dundas Island, or
Cape Beecher, unless ho should have reason to know
that the ship is on Baring Bay side of the Wellington
Channel. The date at which the parties under Captain
Austin's expedition moved was about the 18th of April.
Our party will be instructed to reach one of those sta-
tions on the 11th of May. If earlier, account will be
left with a tall staff and flag attached, Letters and
documents will be deposited in a cask, and having re-
moved them you will place yours in a similar.
"If it should be elevated above ten feet, you will in-
struct the person charged with this duty to climb to it
andlake out the papers, instead of pulling it down, and
risking the possibility of its destruction,

to rend the ship under my command, with her tender,

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
Consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
ether class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
Schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
Ultimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
if Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
ant academic honours at home and abroad is in ielf a sufficient

" Sir,—l have the honour to inform you that on the
11 th inst. Messrs. Domville, Alston, and myself walked
to Caswell's Tower. At the foot of it, facing the south-
east, and about 300 yards from the beach, we found the
remains of an old Esquimaux encampment, consisting of
about 30 ruined huts. One of Edwards' small potato
cases attracted stir attention, and on searching we dis-
covered several of Goldner's preserved meat canisters,
seven or eight wino bottles, a fireplace, and a small well;
the bottom of it was lined with small stones. A path-
way of large flat stones led to the well. No cairns nor
documents were found. These articles evidently be-
longed to some of Sir John Franklin's parties; most
probably a shooting party. I then ascended the tower,
which is about the same height as Beechy Sound, but
much steeper. Neither cairns nor documents were found.
Five bears were seen during our walk; one of them was
severely wounded by Mr. Doraville. The land was very
barren; a little moss and sorrell was the only vegetation
seen.—l have, &c.,_

order to bring down further supplies, and it was not
until the 29th of March that we were enabled to proceed
on the extended journey. A fatigue party accompanied
us, as far as Brentford Bay. Here we found an opening
running in a general course of about south-west and
north-east of about 15 miles to Cape Bird. On attaining
Cape Bird crossed a bay of some 25 miles in width,
when wo struck a low lying beach, and pursued oar
course on it, over gentle undulations, in a direction due
west, to the estimated distance of 100 deg, west longitude.

" Prience Albert, Beechy Island, Aug. 20.
" Sir,—Having, on our way to Cape Riley yesterday
morning, had the great satisfaction of discovering her
Majestp's ship under your commaed in this bay, and
being only able last year and this spring to search as far
as Brentford Bay, Regent's Inlet, west from that about
100 miles, and up to Cape Walker, thereby only partly
fulfilling the important object f our mission—namely,
the complete search cf Regent's Inlet and Boothia Felix
—and being now most anxious to complete the search
myself, and send the Prince Albert to England on ac-
count of the state of health of her crew, who have nearly
all suffered so much from scurvy as to be unfit to re-
main another winter here, I therefore beg to request
that, as two of my own men have volunteered to remain
out—one to accompany me in any further search, and
the other (a carpenter) to remain in your ship—that
you may be pleased to grant me the loan of three men
keeping my carpenter yourself in lieu of one, to enable,
me to carry out this great object.
" Ia the first place, I
.propose sending the Prince
Albert to England as soon as your ship is safely secured
in her winter quarters, to expedite which I will render
every assistance; then I should wish to start myself
with the boat and party, returning again to the North
Star when compelled by the severity of the weather,
recommencing operations 'again early next Spring,
when I hope to have connected the coast to Rae's
furthest.
" There is a strong probability that Sir John Frank-
lin may have been carried through one of these channels
that may be supposed to exist between Ommanney Inlet
and Victoria Strait; whether or no, I shall have the
opportunity of clearing this doubt, which I know is in
perfect harmony with Lady Franklin's most ardent
wishes.
" The provisions which can be spared from the Prince
Albert are as undermentioned, viz.-15 cwt. bread,
75 61b. cases preserved meat, 1,5001 b. pemmican, 1 cwt.
coffee, 3 cwt. chocolate, 5 tons coals, 8 gallons spirits
of wine. Also guns, ammunition, and other small
stores, sufficient for myself and party, with the exception
of warm clothing.
" I would also request of you the loan of the Mary,
late Sir John Ross's yacht.
" I have the honour to be, Sir,
" WILLIAM KENNEDY.

" Our course was now generally along the sea coast,
until we reached Cape Walker, where our provisions
compelled us to retreat to the ship, round North Somer-
set and Leopold Harbour.
" I cannot find words to express my admiration of the
conduct of M. Bellot, who accompanied me throughout
this journey, directing at all times the course by his
superior scientific attainments, and at the same time
taking an an equal share with the men in dragging the
sledge, and ever encouraging them in their arduous
labours by his native cheerful disposition.
"During an absence of three months we slept in snow
houses, having dispensed with tents.
" With the blessing of God we returned in safety to
our ship on the 30th of May.
" On the 6th of August we cut out of winter quarters,
and proceeded to Beechy Island as circumstances best
directed.
" I may mention that our first journey was in mid-
winter, when we had to avail ourselves of the moonlight,
in the absence of that of the sun.
" I have, in conclusion, the satisfaction to remark
that, although our crew suffered somewhat from scurvy,
they have all returned to a man in comparative health,
which I attribute in a great measure to the strictly tee-
total principles on which the expedition was carried out,
and the consequent harmony and good conduct of the
men throughout.
" It is through the supply of pemmican alone, which
the Lords of the Admiralty liberally supplied to bbe
Prince Albert, that sledge journeys were enabled to be
carried out.
" I left 18 cases of pemmican at Beechy Island and
two at Fury Beach, and four tons of coals I put on board
the North Star.
" During my absence on the extended journey, Mr.
Cowie, the medical officer, searched the bottom of Cress-
well Bay, to seo if any passage existed there, but found
none.
"To this officer I also feel greatly indebted for his
care and attention over the health of the crew, and kind
and skilful treatment of them.
Though every search was made in all parts we have
visited, we have found no record or trace of the proceed-
ings of Sir John Franklin's expedition.—l have, &c.,

" Her Majesty's ship North Star, Beechy Island,
Aug. 23.
" Sir,—l have the honour to acquaint you that the
Prince Albert arrived here on the morning of the 19ih
inst. By her I send every report relating to the expe-
dition left by Captains Sir Edward Belcher and Kellett,
fur transmission to England. The former, with his
tender, left this for Wellington Channel on Saturday
night, the 14th, and the Resolute, with her tender, for
Melville Island, at tWo r.m. the next day, all in good
health and high spirits, and with every hope of success.
This season, I cannot help thinking is very open, for
from the summit of Beechy Island, which I visited on
the evening of our arrival on the 9th inst., as far as the
eye could reach up Wellington Channel, or to the west-
ward, both were open, and but little or no ice to bo seen.
Since the 16th we have been solely employed cutting
the ship into winter quarters; but in consequence of the
heavy breezes from the north and north-west, which
have been almost continually blowing ever since the
17th, our progress has been but slow. The ice, too, is
also very heavy; six, seven, and even eight feet thick;
and to get a secure position there is a greater distance
to cut yet than I or any one else could have anticipated.
The strong winds lately blowing have convinced me
that the distance which was considered as sufficient to
advance in the floe, say three or four ships' length, was
not enough. We are now, after cutting 9,000 feet, with-
out a dock at all, the ice having all broken up by this
afternoon's gale, and at one time I was afraid of being
driven out to sea. I anticipate a further breaking up of the
ice inside as yet. It is the opinion of the ice master of
the Prince Albert, and our ice quartermasters, that this
bay will in all probability be clear before the end of the
month. Under these circumstances it will be late before
I can possibly leave the ship for exploration, as having
sent Mr. M'Cormick, the surgeon, away with one boat's
crew of six men, and my taking another will render the
ship powerless. Mr. M'Cormick is gone to Baring Bay,
Wellington Channel. My intention is to visit Maxwell
Bay first, as there is a probability from its depth (un-
known) that there may be a passage into Jones' Sound.
On my return the ice will be fit for sledging, when 1
shall send a party to make ' caches' on the eastern shores
of Wellington Channel, for a further search and explo-
ration of North Devon in the spring of 1853, in com-
pliance with Sir Edward Belcher's orders. The Mary
yacht, left inside Cape Spencer by Sir J. Ross, I visited
on the 17th. Finding her very close to the water my-
self, Mr. Shellaber, second master, and two men, launched
her end brought her round to the ship. I shall,
therefore, haul her up on Beechy Island, which I
think is a preferable position. She requires repair
from exposure and frost, which I shall complete during
the winter.
With respect to my visiting Port Leopold, as ex-
pressed in Captain Kellett'a orders, a copy of which is
herewith enclosed, I do not consider it necessary, as Mr.
Kennedy, of the Prince Albert, informs me ho was there
twice last year, and found the provisions in good condi-
tion, but the steam launch close to the water, and the
covering of the house much torn and requiring repair;
but as the launch has remained in the same position
since left by Sir James Ross, and nct considering the
repairing of the housing of great importance, I shall
not perhaps visit that port till next spring. Your Lord-
ships will perceive by Mr. Kennedy's report that he has
discovered a passage through Brentford Bay into Vic-
toria Strait, crossed it, and travelled to about 100 deg.
west; thence he proceeded up to Cape Walker and re-
turned to his ship in Batty Bay, vial Port Leopold, with-
out finding any traces of the missing expedition. He
made to me, by letter on the 20th instant, proposi-
tions for a further search, a copy of which letter I en-
close, together with my reply; also a requested reply
to mine from Mr. Kennedy, and notwithstanding his
not being able to assist me in cutting into our
winter quarters, I considered that it should make no
difference in the assistance I had offered him in carry-
ing out his views, rather increasing it bybneatmbirnege

BY CAPTAIN SIR EDWARD BELCHER, C 8., COMMANDING
THE EXPEDITION IN SEARCH OF TRACES OF SIR JOHN
FRANKLIN.
" By a printed copy of the instructions furnished you
by me of the orders under which I am proceeding, you
are already acquainted with the principal objects con-
t
ensplated by my Lords Commissioners of the Ad-
miralty,
" Under the second part of paragraph 4 you will per-
sive that the force under my command is to be divided
—one division to explore Wellington Channel, the other
to push forward towards Melville Island, or some safe
position which may be accessible, and there to deposit a
supply of provisions, fuel, and clothing for any parties
which may reach such position from the expedition under
Captain Collinson or Commander M'Clure.
" You are already aware that tl'ts second part, viz.
the duty of proceeding towards Melville Island, has been
allotted to you, aided by Commander M'Clintock, of her
Majesty's ship Intrepid.
" The printed instructions of their Lordships addressed
to me must be your guide iu carrying out this important
duty, and, after the lon experience have had of your
g
zeal and judgment, I can only add, execute it with
your accustomed energy and rejoin me at Beechy Island.
" But their Lordships have entailed on me a much
more laborious task, that of enjoining you to a strict
observance of their wishes expressed is paragraphs
9, 10, 11.
" Under the second part of paragraph 9 you will pro-
bably learn before our final separation of the probability
of my forcing Wellington Channel this season.
" Under any contingency, should we become too
separate to communicate, you will consider it as the
prominent fea,ure of your sledge operations, to meet
our party, sent to meet yours, ou the meridian of 105
deg. west, and on the parallel of 77 deg. north.
" I do not mean to tie either party to remain there,
but as both must be directed to seek that locality, they
will each be instructed to select the coast line nearest to
that position as the grand rendezvous, and there erect
a cairn, and establish its positioa as the base for future
operations.
" I shall dispatch on this service (if not conducted by
myself) ono of my most able and qualified officers, and
I feel that it is needless to remark to you how important
it is that every record upon this expedition should bear
the character of our former service.
" Thus far have I proceeded. But I now arrive at a
point which is attended with serious difficulty.
" It is more than probable from my experience in
blasting the ice, that, either by good fortune, or
unceasing labour, the ship or tender may pass into the
Queen's Channel. That having found fresh traces of our
missing countrymen, we may push on, and on your
return to Beechy Island at the termination of your
mission you may still find no traces or notice of us.
" Their Lordships' instructions desire you to return,
having reference to your supplies.
" As their Lordships are well aware that in my ab-
sence it will be impossible for me to suggest to you the
course most advisable under the then circumstances, I
must trust entirely to your own good judgment. First,
as to supplying the North Star with everything you can
possibly spare, and taking from her every invalid, and
making the best of your way to England, so as to afford
their Lordships the best information as to what has been
done, and what course it may yet be advisable to pursue;
bearing in mind that vessels can reach Beechy Island as
soon or before those out here would think it prudent to
leave Lancaster Sound.
"Oa the other baud you may have sufficient pro-
visions to dispatch the North Star, placing your own
ship in depot and sending home full details of your pro-
ceedings.
" Under any circumstances of advances this season, I
shall give every positive instruction to Commander
Pullen to send a sledge party to meet one from us at
Philllp'a Port, Baillie Hamilton ',land, Dundss Island,
or Cape Beecher, unless be should nave reasons to know
that we are on the Baring Bay side of the channel.
"Copies of all letters and orders will be furnished him
for information of officers in command, as well as for
transmission to England.
"I do not deem it necessary to say more than may
God prosper your undertaking and return you in safety
to the rendezvous.

" Iler Majest) ship North Scar, Beechy Island,

released from winter quarters.
" 15. No trace whatever of that vessel has been fourom
nd.
" 16. Commander McClintock has just returned f
examination of the ice in Wellington Channel, from
which I have every hope of making successful progress
this season. The current appears to run rapidly from it
out of Lancaster Sound, charged with small es.
This current enters Union Bay, and sweeping round
the spit of Beechy Island (it is not a peninsula), binds
the ice in that bay and comes out under the floe to
which the squadron is fast with some velocity to the
southward.
" 17. Yesterday, accompanied by Captain Kellett and
Commander Pullen, I searched Cape Riley. The result
of our examination, viewing it ss a possible magnetic
station, is most assuredly adverse to any such conclusion.
As a magnetic observer myself (Kellett andPullen also
I could trace nothing to warrant any such conclusion).,
Nor do I believe it probable that instruments of such a
nature would be carried to a spot totally unprotected in
every way, and not possessing any feature to recommend
it, when the spot on Beechy Island afforded the best
locality.
" 18.. Another and very important reason adverse to
any such selection would be the almost vertical mass of
mountains within a few yards of the position.
" 19. The circles of stones are clearly thercles in remains of
Esquimaux habitations, and flat paved ci con-
tinuation towards the cliff clearly indicate not a tempo-
rary visit. Graves, als@, of men and children, wherein
the bones appear to have been charred. also
m indicate the
resting-place or fixed encampment of Eilui.
"20. The station is also well adapted for a fishing
position and for the capture of birds.
" 21. It is my firm conviction that had Sir John
Franklin been disposed to leave any record of his move-
ments many very prominent points present themselves,
and I have great hopes, from the very open season, that
we shall yet find them on the shores of Wellington
Channel.
" 22. I have great satisfaction in reporting my per-
fect approbation of the unanimity and zeal which in-
spires every one engaged in this trying service, and my
conviction that one and all will do their duty.
"23. I have the honour to inclose the state an d con-
dition of the vessels under any orders, and am, Sir,
your most obedient servant,

" Sir,—By the Alexander whaler I had the honour to
forward au account of the movements of her Majesty's
ship under my command, accompanied by her tender, the
Intrepid, and her M,ijesty's ship North Star. Having
been detained by contrary and light winds in Lancaster
Sound, we did not arrive at this place until half.past two
.s.x. on the 10th instant, and not finding the Assistance
or her tender here, I immediately dispatched the In-
trepid to Admiralty Inlet, calling at Port Leopold. In
the meantime I completed provisions from the North
Star, and employed the crews getting coals and provi-
sions on deck, ready for the Assistance and Pioneer on
their arrival.

On Friday evening a public meeting was convened
at Peterborough, by a placard issued from the com-
mittee of independent electors, and signed by Mr.
William Vergette, their chairman, to hear the final
reply which the candidate they had introduced (Mr.
George Hammond Whalley) would make to the re-
quisition which had been presented to him. The
meeting was held in the Corn Exchange. Toe con-
.,tituency of the borough consists of about 480 voters,
100 of whom are what is termed scot and lot votes.
The immense stake which Lord Fitz a illiam possesses
in Peterborough has hitherto enabled him to return
both Members. The railways have, however,
brought fresh parties into the city, and there
is a dogged determination on the part of even
the Milton tenantry in Peterborough to submit
no longer to Lord Fitzwilliam choosing both
Members for them. At the last election, Mr.
Talbot Clifton, a Conservative candidate, run
Lord Fitzwilliam's nominees to within a score, the
numbers being, for the Hon. G. Fitzwilliam, 259 ;
Hon. R. Watson (since deceased), 230 ; J. F. Clifton,
211. Mr. Whalley is supported by the independent
Liberals of Peterborough, many of whom abstained
from voting at the last election. There was a large
attendance of the constituency at the meeting, at
which Mr. William Vergette took the chair. Having
introduced Mr. Whalley, that gentleman proceeded to
address the meeting at considerable length, pointing
out to the electors the necessity of their making an
effort to assert their independence, and assuring them,
at the same time, that his canvass had been successful
beyond his most sanguine anticipations. Mr. Whit-
well then proposed this resolution, " That Mr. Whal-
ley having intimated his intention to declare himself a
candidate for the representation of this city, this meet-
ing, cordially recognising his claims to the support of
the electors, pledges itself to use every legitimate
means to secure his election." Mr. John Miller
seconded the resolution, which was unanimously
adopted, and the proceedings terminated.

" Sir,—l have to acknowledge the receipt of your

ing points, viz., end to which I request your reply
1. must be perfectly understood that any of your
men coming to this ship ere to be previsioued by you to
the extent named in your lett. r, and subject to the rules
and regulations of the ship, but not to consider that they
have any claim whatever on her Majesty's Gevernmeut
fur wages, &c. ; and us you have offered to assist us in
cutting into our winter quartets I think I may safely
say your request can be complied with.
"2. With regard to boats, one you propose taking
from the Prince Albert yourself, and have requested the
Mary yacht, which requires repair, and I expect it will
take four dayt to put her in an efficient state, which you
must consider. Having dispatched my own whale boat
on an exploring expedition with Dr. M'Curmick, and
being about to lead another myself, I shall be very glad
to make an exchange with your second boat.
" With respect to your proceedings, you have informed
me that you have explored Regent's Inlet to Brentford
Bay, west from that through a passage which you have
discovered into Victoria Strait, crossing which to the
opposite lands, in all for about 100 miles, then north
towards Cape Walker, across Ommaney Inlet, and along
the northern shore of North Somerset to Port Leopold,
and to your winter quarters in Batty Bay. Under
these circumstances, I certainly consider that a great
portion in that direction remains yet to be explored, and
think it very desirable that if you consider it possible
to perform this service in the time you have stated in
your letter, to take advantage of the present favourable
opportunity, so that there may be no more doubt
or uncertainty respecting the missing voyagers under
Captain Sir John Franklin having proceeded in that
direction. I will render you every possible assistance.
Both yourself and Mr. Ballot tell me that you travelled
throughout last winter; therefore, what has been done
by one party might possibly be done by others; but I
must earnestly impress on you the necestity of being
careful of your men, by not exposing them more than is
actually necessary to the severity of the climate, and en-
deavour to return to this ship by the end of September,
and make au early start in the spring, when I trust, by
God's blessing, you will be able to complete all.

provided, that if the bond debt. as estimated by the
North Staffordshire Company with a view to cover all
existing liabilities, shall be found to exceed 1,050,0001.,
the London and North-Western Company shall be en-
titled to deduct from •
the dividend payable upon the
North Staffordshire share ca • pttal a yearly sum equal to

expense, in the next session, for immediate powers to
the above effect, and in case of failure to renew the

companies to cease.
Believing that both boards are deeply impressed with
the expediency of spec dd.) neterrmuing the principles of
an arrangement, we have contented ourselves with a
statement of our opinion on the principal points sub-
mitted to us; but should the Companies accept our advice
upon these points we shall be happy to afford them
further cssistance, and to mediate between them upon
every question which may arise before the passing of
the Act of Parliament.—Your obedient servants,
