LADY FRANKLIN.-111E ARCTIC

EXPEDITION.

We understand that this most estimable lady,-with
all the fervour of a devoted wife, is at present
gaged in a pious pilgrimage to the ports whence the
whale-ships are likely to proceed to Davies'atoits,
with a view to plead her anxieties and distresses, and
to animate the daring and generous. commanders of
these ships in her cause...
Lady Franklin has already visited Hull, and
here we believe that her Ladyship has been
received with much enthusiasm, and that the
strongest desire has been manifested by the mas-
ters and others connected with the whale-Aaips,
ndt only to carry out any instructions or wisheglhat
may be conveyed to them from Government, lint are
also themselves disposed to undertake certain mea-
sures in connexion with the usual objects of their
voyage, for affording succour or gaining information
respecting the missing ships.
That this generous spirit will spread, we cannot
doubt ; and whether it be at Leith, Kirkcaldy, or
Montrose, or the more northern ports of Aberdeen
and Peterhead, the appearance of Lady Franklin,
and the mention of her most touching cause, cannot
fail to excite the same generous ardour, and we may
confidently anticipate such practical results as, under
Providence, may tend to dispel the dark cloud that
has already nearly weighed her down, and which
presses heavily on the mind of every thinking individual
in the kingdom.
As the whale-ships generally sail towards the close
of the present month for their usual fishing-ground in
Baffin's Bay, the friends and relations of the parties
serving on board the Erebus, Terror, Enterprize, and
Investigator, will do well to avail themselves of this
opportunity of communicating with them. Letters
to go by the whale-ships, on the chance of their being
delivered, should be sent to the Admiralty before the
20th inst.; and as it is the known intention of Sir
James Ross to send one of his ships to communicate
with the whalers, the chance should not be thrown
away.
Letters for the Plover should be sent to the Admi-
ralty on or before the 15th inst., to go by the next
packet to Chagres, from whence they will be sent to
Panama, and conveyed by the Herald to Behring's
Straits.

TO THE SECRETARY OF THE
METROPOLITAN REFORM ASSOCIATION.

Sir,—Monday the 12th was a night of divisions.
Conclusions ran so cross, that it was difficult to find
two men agreeing as to the reasons for voting in the
various permutations and combinations practicable
among main questions and their amendments. The
Government had a large majority against the grant
to Ireland being " vicious in principle," and a consi-
derably smaller for the grant itself. Why those who
finally voted against the grant, refused to vote it
" vicious," it is not easy to collect.
Lord ugent's promised amendment for the dimi-
nution of the duration of the Habeas Corpus Sus-
pension in Ireland, was put off till the third reading
on Friday. The delay may give time for strength
to gather about an opportunity of doing good.
On Tuesday a quantity of routine business was
got through, in a very thin House. On Lord Ber-
nard complaining of the influence exercised on voters
in the poll-booths by the Irish priesthood, Mr. John
O'Connell proposed that he should join in procuring
the protection or the -Ballot; which obtained from
