THE SEARCH FOR SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.—We
learn with deep regret that the Admiralty have decided not
to send a steamer this 3-ear into the Arctic ocean, with the
object. amongst other inducements, of examining the cairn
lying in Jones Sound. Whatever may be their opinion as
to the position of the cairn (its existence no one denies),
our own remains the same. It is founded chiefly upon the
testimony afforded by Captain Lee, at the beginning of
1849, when the circumstances were still fresh in his mind;
and we know that he then stoutly maintained that he had
been in the Sound without knowing it. lie had then sonic
vigour of mind remaining, and was about to proceed to Davis
Straits upon the voyage which was to prove so disastrous to
him, and to be followed by his retirement from the service.
All the testimony we have published goes to prove the above
fact, and as we do not abandon our convictions, we sin-
cerely regret that the Admiralty have not taken vigorous
measure" to satisfy the public niiud.—Chronicle.
