26, Cornhill, London.
Capital £500,000.
Empowered by Act of Parliament.
This Institution embraces important and substantial advantages
with respect to Life Assurances and Deferred Annutles.
Policies issued by this Society have a twofold advantage :—provi-
sion for the family of the Assured, and an augmenting pecuniary
available resource to himself, if needful, whilel lying. The Assured
has, on all occasions, the power to borrow, without expense, or for-
feiture of the Policy, two-thirds of the Premiums paid.
DIVISION OF PROFITS.

The continued prosperity of the Society has enabled the Directors
at the Annual Meeting, held on the 10th of May, 1848, to declare a
sixth bonus, varying from 27 to 65 per cent, on the Premiums paid
on each Policy effected on the profit scale.

The following are among the advaitages offered by this Society :

ECONOMY combined with Security.
The RATES of Premium are lower than those of any other office,
which entitle the assured to participate in the profits, and considerably
lower than those of any other Mutual Assurance Society.

The WHOLE of the PROFITS are divided every fifth year among
the Assured, and a Bonus is added, after the payment of the Fifth
Annual Premium to every Policy effected on the participating Scale,
if a claim accrue thereon prior to the next division of profits.
The BONUSES declared at the three former divisions (arising
from three-fourths only of the profits), averaged 16, 31, and 36 per
cent. respectively on the amount of Premiums paid.
The BONUS declared in 1449 (arising from the whole of the pro-
fits), being the result of the operations of theSNiety. daring the last
five 3 ears upon the Mutual Principle, averaged 62 V, per cent. on the
Premiums received.

All Assurances effected during the year 1349, on the equal rates of
Premium, will be entitled to participate in the profits to be declared
in 1854.

The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
i.he Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis
puting a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER S'HIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
vested. Oa the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life.
The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons,
approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in
connexion with this Company.

ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL,
A WEEKLY PERIODICAL,

PRICE THREE-EIALFPENCE,
CONTAINING

LITERARY MATTER of INFORMATION and AMUSEMENT.
The First Volume of ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL is new com-
pleted, and the Proprietor takes this opportunity of expressing her
sense of the honourable and coveted position which a generous Public
has placed her in.
Many difficulties beset the path of a young Journalist which a
little experience removes, and most earnest thanks are proffered for
the kind indulgence bestowed on the errors which have occasionally
marked the Editorial and Practical Departments. The best proof of
the Editor's feeling will be found in her endeavours to render the
Journal far more worthy of the flattering patronage it receives,
and without any fallacious boast, she can promise her Readers a
future supply of sound and valuable matter.
The most gratifying circumstance attending the extensive circula-
tion and cordial reception of the Journal has been in proving that a
large reading public can be found for a cheap Serial who do not
require unhealthy exeitement and mere ephemeral entertainment to
gain their attention. Right glad has the Editor been to see that
her plain and simple wish to elevate the morals and invigorate the
mind, kas been graciously received : for, though amusement is one
of the chief essentials, not only of periodical literature, but of our
whole lives, it should ever be blended with a principle and purpose
tending to advance hamanity.
From the cheering encouragement already received, the Editor
trusts fully to her friends for the future, and has equal pride and
pleaeure in presenting her First Volume as a Journalist to those
whose generous perceptions stamped her first attempt as a Poet.
ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL is published every Saturday, and
In Monthly Parts, stitched in a wrapper, by
J. 0. CLARKE,
At the Office of the Journal, No. 3, Rennet-court, Fleet-street,

PROCEEDINGS OF THE ARCTIC
EXPEDITION.

In addition to what we have already published we
' subjoin the following portion of the rough notes of
the proceedings of Sir James Ross's expedition in
search of Sir John Franklin :
The last accounts from the expedition were from
Uppernavick, via the Danish Consul. The ships
started thence on the 20th July, and worked up along
the east coast, opposite Melville Monument, in Mel-
ville Bay, long. 75 35, when they crossed over to the
middle sea, and finally got through it August 19.
They then ran down to Pond's Bay, the western coast
of Baffin's Bay, the settlement of the natives, and
where the whalers annually visit, and arrived there
2'22 August. No one landed here, but the ships
coasting along as far as Possession Mount, reached
there on the 26th, and Lieutenant M'Clure and the
surgeon of the Investigator went ashore. Here they
accidently discovered uncle; a cairn or beacon a bottle
left by Parry, bearing an inscription, " Hecla and
Griper," of which they took possession, erected another
cairn, and deposited a copper cylinder, with in-
formation of the objects of the expedition. The
ships then proceeded towards Cape York, up
Barrow's Straits, on the western shore,
where all was clear water, no ice what-
ever being visible. At Cape York a beacon and flag-
staff were erected, and cylinders deposited. From
this place ice was seen, extending right across Prince
Regent's Inlet; consequently the ships stood towards
the north, for Cape Fellfoot, upon the north shore
of Barrow's Straits ; early in September, and on the
7th of that month, stood across to Leopold, the place
of rendezvous, and here getting entangled in the ice,
were swept past the island, but subsequently got free
and entered Port Leopold, a spacious harbour, with
excellent groundings and deep water, 11th September,
1848. Here he immediately deposited three months'
provisions for each ship, on shore at Whaler's Point,
at the entrance of the harbour. The harbour at that
time was perfectly clear of ice.
The provisions were deposited with all dispatch,
under the impression that the expedition would start
the next morning; but on the 12th the significant
appearance of the young ice setting in very sharp,
and the probability of being frozen in at a more
disadvantageous position, Sir James Ross was induced
to delay his departure, and ultimately to make this
anchorage his winter quarters, this being the most
eligible point of departure in the ensuing spring. In
the course of a few days Sir James's predictions were
verified; the harbour continued to freeze over, alter-
nately freezing and clearing until about the 24th
when the ice became settled.

The crew were now employed to cut a canal forty
feet wide, leading in towards the north-east side of
the harbour, and protected by Whaler's Point from
any heavy pressure of ice setting in from the inlet or
Barrow's Straits. This harbour was found to be
most commodious and safe, with good depth of water
and sandy bottom. The ice was perfectly flat and
frozen over with as plain a surface as the Serpentine
in January. The ships were moored abreast each
other, about 20A yards apart. As soon as they were
frozen in they were housed over from the forecastle
to the mizen-mast, and the anchors were weighed and
stowed.

The crews then commenced building a wall of
snow seven feet high from one ship to the other, to
.facilitate communication, and the next thing was the
erecting of an observatory for each ship for magnetic
observations. They were composed entirely of snow,
with plates of ice for the windows. They were six
feet high inside, and built of snow bricks one foot thick
and two feet long, cut out with a cutlass and well
squared and trimmed, these little houses displaying
tasteful, varied, and in some instances fantastic forms
of architecture. The wall of communication required
great attention, from the accumulation of snow. The
sun was not seen from the 9th of November until the
9th of February from the ship, but from the top of a
hill, NE Cape Leopold, a sight was caught of him so
early as the 26th January. During the long even-
ings, from October till May, schools were formed
along the midship part of the lower decks, which
were well attended by the young men, who were in-
structed in reading, writing, and arithmetic, on
board the Enterprise, by the clerk ; and a youngster
from Greenwich school, named Grunsell, second class
the scholars made great progress in their studies
during the six months. Ample time was allowed to
the crews of both ships to meet each other, and games
of football and other exercises relieved the monotony
which surrounded them.
_ . .

During the whole of that dreary winter the only
other living animals seen were the white foxes. These
were not allowed to be shot, but as many were taken
alive as could be trapped, and about 40 were then
sent away with copper collars round their necks, upon
which was stamped the name of the ships, and the
localities of the depots of provisions, &c. As it was
well known that these foxes travel an immense dis-
tance, this measure was resorted to with the view of
making them the possible medium of acquainting the
missing parties with the means taken for their relief
and succour. The foxes were caught in a barrel
converted into a door-trap, and to show, the intensity
of the cold, it may be stated that the poor little ani-
mals in endeavouring to escape, often attempted to
gnaw the iron bars, when in many cases their tongues
adhered to the iron, and were frozen off, when they
were killed from motives of humanity. The foxes
were facetiously denominated "twopenny postmen."
The thermometer at this time was about 15 below
zero ; but the Sylvester stove apparatus, which
answered admirably well, always kept the lower
decks at a temperature of between 55 and 60 degrees.
Christmas-day and New Year's-day were kept as
seasons of fun and jollity. Double allowance of
spirits and provisions were served out, and every one
fared sumptuously. The health of the Queen was
drunk with devoted loyalty and enthusiasm by the
gallant little band ; " absent friends," and " sweet-
hearts and wives," were not forgotten and the dance
and song enlivened the festivities. For a few hours
the outward world was forgotten in the joyous reali.
sation of the comforts and happiness of home.
The crews during the winter were also employed in
making tools and portable apparatus for travelling in
the spring, and some parties were employed in laying
down gravel on the ice, to facilitate the cutting of the
passage out of the ships from the harbour at the proper
season. The gravel, which was taken from the shore
on sledges, was laid so as to absorb the sun's rays,
which, acting upon the ice, predisposed it to rot and
to melt away. This work very much assisted the
arduous task of cutting a canal out of the harbour of
50 feet wide, and two miles and a half long. These
and other exercises during winter, somewhat ac-
climated the men, and inured them to sustain the
privations which they subsequently encountered in
the searching expeditions. All around Leopold
Harbour nothing was seen but snow, rocks 1,100 feet
high bounded on each side, and a narrow low ridge
inclosed the harbour norOwEird. There were very
few icebergs seen from this point.
Sir James Ross began to send out detached parties
at the early part of the month of April. From the
Enterprise Sir James was the first to go himself, and
with Mr. Cheyne and a party of ten men, left the
ship, and proceeding with a quantity of bread, pre-
served meats, fuel, and skins, went 15 miles to the
westward. Ile was accompanied by Lieutenant
Barnard and a party from the Investigator, the
provisions being carried on two sledges. They
penetrated as far as Cape Hurd. Another party
from both ships, under Lieutenant Robinson (Inves-
tigator) and Lieutenant Brown (Enterprise), and Mr.
Adams, assistant surgeon (Investigator), were dis-
patched on similar service, and proceeded about 15
miles southward. They deposited their provisions
about 15 miles north of Elwin Bay. Both parties
suffered severely from this expedition, being most of
them blinded by the snow drifts.
_ _

It was arranged that the principal expedition
should leave the ships on the 15th May. The
morning did not give any indication of fine weather,
for the wind blew high, and the snow was a foot and
a half deep. About six o'clock, however, in the
evening the weather moderated, and the parties
started-with three hearty cheers from the ships. It
was composed of Sir James Ross, Lieut. M'Clintock,
and 12 seamen of the Enterprise; the first lieutenant,
Mr. M'Clure, having been left in charge of the ship.
They were absent exactly forty days. They carried
with them preserved meats, with supplies of pork,
biscuit and rum, and also their sleeping apparatus,
which consisted of tarpaulins to spread out on the
snow to pL ovent the heat of their bodies from thawing
it, buffalo ropes to lay upon, their blanket bags in
which they esconced themselves, and racoon-skin
blankets to serve as counterpanes ' • they also had two
sledges, six men to each, and two tents. They
travelled to the westward, from Cape Clarence around
the coast as far as Cape Bunny, about 100 miles upon
the shore of North Somerset. Here, as we have
already stated, they found the coast, which had been
up to that time unexplored, trending to the
southward. They pursued that course about 140
miles further, at the extreme point of which they erected
a cairn, and deposited cylinders therein, with the usual
notices, dating them sth of June, 1849. They had
by this time shortened their provisions, and the men
were so knocked up that Sir James was reluctantly
compelled to return. From the extreme point they
reached they could seethe coast southward for 40 miles

[PRICE SD.

further. The ice in this direction was pressed up in
some parts to the height of between fifty and sixty
feet. They shot, in this expedition, eight ptarmigan
and a few ducks. On the western coast they saw the
remnants of an Esquimaux hut, and the relics of a
deer's antlers, which were supposed to have been there
for at least a century, and from the appearance of the
ice in this direction there was no possibility of any
ships having penetrated in that direction—at all
events that season. Every one was on the sick list,
with the exception of Lieutenant .111‘Clintock. Many
were also frost-bitten.. A fatigue party from the
Investigator, under Captain Bird, with Dr. Robert-
son, accompanied this expedition for five d.tys, and
then returned, all of whom were pretty well knocked
up. In the course of this journey the whole party
were charged by an immens9 bear. Bruin walked
boldly up to them, and was only checked in his ad-
vance by an attempt to fire at him. Of the entire

number- of guns levelled, however, the only firearm
that went off was Lieut. APClintock's. The ball
took effect, but the old gentleman did not seem to
care much about it; he merely scratched his head

with his paw, stopped within fifteen yards, and then
turned his back upon them, and walked off, with a
most contemptuous air. The track of blood which
marked his retirementin the snow showed that he was
wounded. The fatigue party proceeded just as far
as the eastern side of Cape Rennell, about forty miles
from the ships, and returned, after supplying the other
party with their stock of provisions.
The second party consisted of Lieut. Robinson, of
the Investigator, and eight men. They proceeded
down along the western side of Prince Regent's In-
let, until they arrived at Fury Point. Here they
found the provisions of the Fury, all in a good
state of preservation; and Sir John Ross's (Somer-
set House) standing in good order. A tent was
erected inside, in which they lit some fires,
and here Lieutenant Robinson was obliged to leave
two of his party, who were too much fatigued to go
any further. With the remainder he pushed on to
Crenwell Bay, about twenty-five miles distant, where
he erected a cairn and deposited the usual contents.
By order of the captain he destroyed all the gun-
powder at Fury Beach.
On returning to the wreck of the Fury he picked
up his invalids and came back to the ship after an ab-
sence of three weeks, having just one day's provisions
remaining. This party saw some young seals and
lots of bears, but had no time for sport or pursuit.
The third party under Lieut. Barnard, consisted of
himself, Dr. Anderson, and four men (Investigator).
They proceeded to the north shore of Barrow's
Straits, as far as Cape llurd. A fatigue party under
Mr. Creswell (mate of Investigator) accompanied
Mr. Barnard as far as Leopold Island, where they
bivouacked for the night. They endeavoured to pro-
cure a supply of fowl for the sick, but did not
succeed.

This party witnessed a very natural, and at the
same time an easy mode of descent from a height of
about 700 feet. A bear squatted himself down on his
hams, slid from top to bottom at railway speed,
steadying himself with great judgment by his paws
in his rapid descent.
Lieutenant Barnard fixed a beacon and notices at
Cape Hurd, and then tried to push up a short distance
to the westward, along the shore ; but as the weather
was very bad, the wind blowing very strong, and
having only a week's provisions, they were compelled
to return at the end of six days.
A fourth party, consisting of four men under Lieut.
Brown (Enterprise) and a fatigue party, composed
of Mr. Court (second master) and four seamen, ac-
companying them about 10 miles—set off in an
easterly direction, across the ice, from the eastern
nameless shore of Prince Regent's Inlet. They were
absent 7 days, and had exhausted all their provisions
when they returned. They had very bad weather, so
thick that no observations could be taken, and were
obliged to steer by compass (Capt. Cators). The sun
was only visible twice, just before midnight and just
before morning. They went across to a place called
the Peak, a remarkable peaked hill in Parry's chart.
Here they erected a cairn as conspicuously as possible,
and made the usual deposits. On the east they found
a remarkable difference as compared with the west
coast. On lifting the stones on the former coast they
found small quantities of water. Half way across
the inlet the ice was nesfectly smooth : but tQwards
" hummocky" that Mr. Brown was obliged to leave
the sledges about seven miles off shore, and picked
them up again on hii return, after they erected the
cairn, &c. In the passage back they sutlered from
the snow drift, and the temperature was down to 12
below zero. They saw a flock of gulls, and several
bear tracks, during their expedition. During one
night, or day rather, a bear must have passed close to
their resting place, as his track was fresh on the snow
round the tent when the party awoke.
Sir James Ross returned to the ship on the 23d of
June in the middle of the night, with only one day's
provisions left. They were most glad to see him safe
again, and all hands cheered heartily from both ships
as he neared them. Captain Bird was beginning to
be anxious about his worthy chief, and a party was
ordered to be got ready to proceed to meet hint the
(lay following, had he not returned. As it was a de-
tachment was sent out to his relief on his appearing
in sight. The gallant officer returned the same way
he went.

A little time was now devoted to rest, relaxation,
and doctoring, and as soon as the parties had suffi-
ciently recovered the cutting of the canal was
commenced, the ships having in the meantime been
caulked and refitted.

The process of cutting through the ice was a most
arduous one. The line having been marked out by
the officers, fifteen feet and eighteen feet ice•saws
were set to work with triangles, and cut on an average
%310 feet a day ; four saws, and sometimes six saws
being employed at once, the ice being from three feet to
five feet thick.

The ships first moved a little down the canal about
the 6th August, and then, watching and seizing every
opportunity, they gradually got down to the entrance;
the ice in the inlet having receded considerably from
the harbour, created a little motion, which assisted in
some degree in breaking up the ice at the entrance of
the harbour. On the 28th the ships got in open
water, and stood out to the northward with the inten-
tion of going to Melville Island (as we have before
stated) till the ist of September, when on the morning
watch of that day, thick weather prevailing, and the
wind blowing hard, the ice gradually filled in all round,
and finally encircled both ships—first the Enterprise,
then the Investigator, in spite of all her efforts to
keep out. She at last took up a berth as near as she
could to her consort, at about a mile. All commu•
nication was here cut off, except by signal, and from
this time the ships drifted perfectly helpless, until
the 2&th September, when they cleared the pack of
Pond's Bay, having drifted about 240 miles. The
aspect was indeed cheerless as they gradually ap-
proached the western shore of Baffin s Bay, a coast
which hes proved total to au many whalers. On the
24th they had a strong breeze, and on the 25th open
water was observed at a distance of about five or six
miles, and as soon as the ice split up sail was made
upon both ships, and on the forenoon of the 25th, after
crashing through the ice for about 36 hours, they suc-
ceeded in getting quite clear. The ships now stood
right across to the eastern shore of Baffin's Bay for
the purpose of clearing the middle ice, and first saw
the land October 3, which was the coast of Greenland,
called Sanderson's Hope, near Uppernavick. With
hafiling winds and thick weather, the ships now made
the best of their way southward, passiug an immense
multitude of gigantic icebergs, varying from 100 to
300 feet high, and from a quarter to half a mile in
length.
These tremendous bergs often came between and
threatened the ships with destruction, and were a
source of perpetual harass, often exciting much appre-
hension from their colour, or rather their colourless
appearance. It was, indeed, a task of no ordinary
skill and ability sometimes to steer clear of them.
On the 25th the two ships first communicated
since they began to drift, and now joyfully ex-
changed cheers of congratulation at their narrow
escape. On the 18th they rounded Cape Farewell,
and from thence had a good passage with strong
westerly gales, till they made the Orkneys on the
29th ult., and Scarborough on the 3d of November.
On Sunday, the 4th, they got a pilot, fresh beef,
and vegetables—a great treat to all on board—and
picked up the steamer off Lowestoffe on Thursday
night, when from that time to Saturday they were
employed in dragging (they cannot tow) the Enter-
prise to Purfleet and the Investigator to Woolwich,
the latter reaching Woolwich in the afternoon, and
the former having been towed up yesterday morning.
In the course of the voyage there were shot three
bears, two or three seals, many swans, geese, and
ducks, and more than 3,000 looms.
The vessels will be inspected this day by Commo-
dore Eden.

this port yesterday afternoon. Captain Sir henry
Blackwood went a passenger in her to join the Ganges
for a passage to the Mediterranean to join his ship
the Vengeance. Soon after the Vulture sailed tiv
Victory, in harbour, and the Leander, at Spithead,
hoisted her recal, and fired several guns, but the
Vulture did not see the signal, and kept on her
course.

basin completely rigged, and now that she is painted
and furbished up looks a fine handsome vessel.
Siie has nearly all her stores on hoard, but has taken
in some extra ballast to bring her down to her load
draft; she is now 17 feet 2 inches abaft, and
16 feet 8 inches forward. Sho will go out on Wod-
m,sday to be tried along• the measured mile in Stokes
Bay; as we have before stated, she has her armament
on board, it consists of 18 long 32-pounder guns on
the main deck, of 25 c%Nt. each ; 6 pivot guns on her
weather deck, viz , 4 broadside-pivot guns, 10 inch

coal on board, and is fitted with Mr. Grant's distilling
and cooking apparatus.
The " Avenger relief committee " paid another
monthly instalment to the widows, orphans, and rela-
tives of her lost seamen and marines, on Saturday
last, at the Royal Naval College. The claimants that
are not residing in this vicinity have all been awarded
their full amount from the relief fund—but to the
persons residing at or near Portsmouth it will be con-

Woo',wren, Nov. 10.—The Investigator, Captain
Bird, arrived at Woolwich at 3 30 P.M. to-day, towed
by the Monkey steam vessel, and brought up at
moorings opposite the dockyard.
WooLyric'', Nov. 11.—The Monkey steam-vessel,
Master Commander Bryant, after towing the Investi-
gator to Woolwich, again went down the river to
assist the African steam-vessel in towing the Enter-
prise, Captain Sir James Clarke Ross, and arrived
with her at this port at eight o'clock A.M. to-day.
On going on board the Enterprise this forenoon, it
was gratifying to witness the robust and apparently
excellent health of the officers and crew, who have
recovered entirely from the fatigues of their perilous
voyage in the Arctic regions. The Enterprise and
Investigator entered Port Leopold on the 11th of
September, 1848, and remained locked up in the ice
~,,til_th.o4.oorl•-,rs.n.nt.. -.C. P., CA%.• &AO. 14,1, • AL
regions they burned blue lights and sent rocks is up
every evening and morning, the Enterprise firing at
10 1. Nt., at 12 at night, and 2 o'clock A.M. ; the In-
vestigator using her rockets at 9 and 11 r M., and 1
o'clock A.M., and both burnt their blue lights at
about five minutes before the rockets were sent up.
During the long and tedious days of winter the
officers and crew amused themselves by catching
foxes, and secured upwards of 100 of these animals,
which are nearly the size of the common foxes of this
country, only the fur of the former is white in winter
and of a grey colour in summer. The whole of the
foxes were liberated, after each had a collar put round
his neck made of bearskin, and having the names of
the vessels, and the captains commanding them, with
the latitude and longitude of the place where the ships
were at the time, written upon them. Several of the
foxes were taken a second time with their collars upon
them. The traps used for taking the foxes were
empty casks, and sometimes three or four of the foxes
would be taken in one day. Capt. Sir J. C. Ross headed
the party who proceeded on the ice in search of Capt.
Sir John Franklin, and the officers and crews of
the Erebus and Terror, and the sufferings of the
whole of those engaged in travelling over the ice were
very great. The party was out 39 days. The
difficulty of travelling over the ice is described as
very great, owing to the little direct progress made
in a day's journey, as the party had sometimes to
walk three or four miles along the course of a ravine
before they could meet with a safe crossing, and after-
wards walk a similar distance back on the other side
of the ravine, before they could proceed in the desired
direction. The route travelled by Captain Sir dames
C. Ross and party from Leopold Harbour was along
the west side of Prince Regent's Inlet, and the north
side of Boothia, and extended more than 200 miles.
In their course they visited the place where the Fury
was left, and found the peas, flour, and other pro-
visions saved from that vessel in as good condition as
when first put on board, with the exception of the
biscuits, some of which had become mouldy. Pre-
vious to leaving the Arctic regions, they left a large
boat which they had cut in two, and lengthened six
feet, making a capacious boat of about fifty feet
in length, and very strong, and sufficient to hold
a whole ship's crew. The engines were also
left, that if any of the engineers of the Erebus or
Terror were still alive and found them, they might
be able to put them together to aid their return from
the northern regions. Provisions for six months'
consumption were also left about three days' journey
from Port Leopold, in Prince Regent's Inlet, in the
direction of the place where the Fury was wrecked,
and a similar quantity about three days' journey
round the entrance to Prince Regent's Inlet from
Barrow's Straits. Several of the men had to be taken
back from the excursion on sledges, their strength
being completely exhausted. The assistant surgeon, a
very iatelligent young man, and three able seamen
of the Enterprise, with three of the crew of the In-
veshigater, have diel since the vessel left Woolwich
in the spring of 1848.

The Enterprise and Investigator are to be paid off
at th's port, and it is already ordered that they are
to be prepared for proceeding to the Arctic regions
againiearly in 1850. There are some onboard the En•
terprise who have not lost hope of the return of Sir
John Franklin's expedition.

THE ADMIRALTY.—Rear-Admiral Dundas, Captain
Eden, Captain Milne, and Secretary Parker, will
leave town to-morrow morning by the express train
via Brighton for Portsmouth, to inspect that fine
frigate the Leander, 50, at Spithead. The board will
be entertained at luncheon by Captain Dacres an
board; after which they will return to town via
Gosport at half-past five.

GEANCE.—The Earl of Hardwick') having served his
time for his flag in the above ship, notified his wish to
resign; Captain Sir Henry Blackwood, Bart., has
consequently been sent out to relieve the Earl.
Captain Blackwood took passage in the Vulture
steam-frigate, from Portsmouth, on Saturday evening,
to embark in the Ganges, 84, at Plymouth, about to
sail for the Mediterranean. _
