ROYAL MARINE ARTILLERY..
Major-General Lord Frederick Fitzclarence, the
Lieutenant-Governor, &c., accompanied by his Aide-
de-Camp, Major Harvey, his gallant brother Lord
Adolphus, Sir George Wombwell, and Colonel 1331-
linghall, R.M. proceeded this afternoon to East Cum-
berland, for the purpose of inspecting the practice of
the Lew levies of the Royal Marine Artillery, under
the conirnand of Colonel D. A. Gibsone, whose
anxiety to complete this invaluable addition to the
strength of the 1;.,v37, deserves the highest commenda-
tion, the drills being' under his own constant control
and daily superintendenc,7- The practice was such as
to merit the warmest encomiums from the Gallant
General and Lord Adolphus.

ARCTIC EXPEDITIONS.
SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.
We are averse to crude, or indeed to much speculation
of any kind, upon the subjects headed above. From
the sailing of Sir John Franklin, to the present time.
we have laid before our readers all the data upon which
that expedition proceeded, and the views entertained of
its probable course, and the periods when we might elc•
pect to hear of it from one quarter or another, as cir-
cumstances might affect its movements, or delay com-
munication. The Report of Mr. Rae, and the return of
whalers without intelligence, having, however, excited
public feelinc_r, we must offer a few lines towards arriving
at right conclusions in the whole matter.
Mr. Rae has done his work in a vary creditable
manner.. He has confirmed the accounts of the Esqni-
maux respecting the formation of the land and Isthmus
of Boothia, as given in the narratives of the several
journeys of Commander (now Sir James Clark) Bosse
in the book published by Sir John Ross; and although
his (Mr. Rae's) longitudes may not be depended upon
(as we before remarked, in consequence of the failure
of his chronometers), yet the continuity of the coast
line cannot be doubted, so far as we can yet learn from
the official account of his proceedings. We shall look
with much interest to the larger publication which, we'
understand, he is now preparing, and which will show usu
more in detail what can be done with small means when
directed by judgment and firmness. There only now
remains the western coast of the land he has discovered,
and the western shore of New Somerset and Boothia
to complete the whole outline of the American con"
tinent ! !
With regard to expeditions in search of Sir John
Franklin, though there is yet no reason to doubt of his
success and safety, it is certainly advisable that Pr(!:
parations should be made to send to his assistance, if 11.
should be found that he has not passed through Bells
ring's Straits this season. This cannot be known in
England until the middle or near the end of January;
but we are much gratified to learn that the Admiralty
are adopting prompt measures to afford our gallant
countrymen most effectual aid, should it turn out that
they are in need of it. We believe we may confident'',
state that in addition to the overland journey to
John
Franklin, by the enterprising companion of Sir job!!
Franklin, Dr. Sir John Richardson, two naval expBnl,..
ditions are being prepared under the superintendence Of
Captain Sir James Clam Ross,
living is more able to get them out and direct thrs
than whom no 039_,,
aright. The first of these, destined fa Behring's Straits
will sail as soon as it can be got ready; and the other,
intended to follow the track of Sir T. Franklin, will de-
part so as to arrive in Baffin's Bay at the proper seasort
for navigating these regions, so that the friends of those
on board, and the English people, may feel assured the:
nothing will be left undone, which human power ca
accomplish, to rescue our fellow-countrymen, should
it
unfortunately prove that success has not attended their
exertions.
But we are still sanguine that these measures so
judiciously and generously begun by the AdmirallY O.
;
may be rendered unnecessary by the happy return
Sir John Franklin and his brave comrades.---.LarrarY
