its sentiments as froni the interest of the narrative, and the ease of
the style in which it is written."—Observer.

We copy the following extract of a letter just received from an
eminent firm in the city of London, which shows that the Hygeian
system is not only extensively adopted in England, but likewise in
all parts of the Continent. This, coupled with the fi.et that Messrs.
Morison have paid to the Government nearly 120,0001. for stamps is
the best guarantee the world can have as to the intrinsic value of
Morison's Medicines, and of the Hygeian system.

PORTSMOUTH, OCT •28.—The officers of the Swedish
frigate Eugenie and [corvette Lagerbjelke, under the
escort of M. Vandenbergh, the Swedish Consul at this
port, yesterday inspected the dockyard, and were
most courteously received by Rear-Admiral Super-
intendent Prescott, C. 8., and his officers, many of
whom and the flag lieutenants attended the gallant
strangers over the dockyard offices. This evening
Captain Virgin, of the Eugenie, and Captain Engle-
hart, of the Lagerbjelke, and their first lieutenants,
together with M. Vandenbergh, will be entertained
by Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, G.C.M.G., the
Commander-in-Chief, at dinner at the Admiralty-
house. To-morrow the same party and M. Vanden-
bergh will be entertained by Colonel the Hon. A.
Dalzel and the officers of the 48th Regiment, in garri-
son here. The Swedish officers seem to take great
interest in the inspection of the port, and are highly
gratified at the courtesies and hospitalities shown to
them. Their ships are in admirable order, and appear
well equipped for their long and interesting voyage—
circumnavigation of the globe.

THE ARCTIC COMMITTEE.—LETTER
FROM LADY FRANKLIN.
The members of this committee held a sitting at
the Admiralty, on Monday, to exarnine.the reports of
Captain Austin and Captain Penny, atirtiaio to obtain
answers which may be put to them or to the officers
who accompanied them in the recent searching ex-
peditions, as to the best plans to be adopted in the fu-
ture expeditions which were decided upon before the
committee was appointed.
The following is a copy of a letter from Lady
Franklin to Mr. Grinnell, who interested himself so
much in sending out the American expedition under
Captain De Haven :
" 21, Bedford-place, London, Sept. 12, 1851.
"My dear Mr. Grinnell,—l write to you in much
agitation and confusion of mind, which you will not
wonder at when you hear that Captain Penny, with
his two ships, has returned, and announces the ap-
proaching return of Captain Austin's squadron, after
being out for only half the period for which they
were equipped. * •
Captain Penny's letter is to•day before the Board of
Admiralty, urging them in the strongest terms to
dispatch instantly a powerful steamer to Wellington
Channel, in which quarter, to the north-west, he has
discovered the passage which there can be scarcely a
doubt the ships have taken, since it is the only open-
ing they have found anywhere, and hundreds of miles
of coast have been explored in the lower western
direction to Cape Walker, Bank's Land, and Melville
Island, without a trace of them. Drift wood in con-
siderable quantities has come out of this north-west
channel, and also a small bit of rather fresh English
elm, which Penny pronounces must have belonged to
our ships, and was, probably, thrown overboard.
"Thus the right track fof the north-west passage
and the course of the missing ships are identical; and
I can only regret that our squadron was not told they
might attempt the making of the passage, if they
could, for in that case we should have had no aban-
doning of the search till many more struggles had
been made to get into Behring Straits. The barrier
of ice in Wellington Channel did not break up last
year, nor had done so this, when Penny left ; but his
explorations, which extended to 180 miles from the
entrance, were made beyond it in boat sledges ; 60
miles beyond this he saw water, with land standing to
the north-west. I can hardly conceive how he could
resist following the open water which he saw beyond
him, and which he is convinced leads into the so-
much-talked-of Polar basin. He is also convinced,
with Dr. Kane, that there is a better climate in these
more northern latitudes, with more natural resources
of food and fuel ; some proofs of which he brings
forward. We have every reason, then, to hope that
some of our lost friends and countrymen may yet be
able to support life in this region, though unable to
return by the way which they came ; and the absence
of any traces of them north of Cape lanes, on the
east side of Wellington Channel, proves nothing at
all against it, since they were not likely to linger on
their way to examine shores and Mends, but would
push on as fast as possible while the opportunity fa-
voured them, and the next trace to be found would
probably be their second winter quarters.
"In confirmation of this view, Penny tells me that
there are signs of their first winter encampment at
Beechy Island, and of their having left it suddenly ;
and that the summer of 1846, though extremely un-
favourable to the whalers, who, on account of the
prevailing winds, could not pass over to the west side
of Baffin's Bay, must have been quite the reverse to
our navigators. You may
imagine what a state of
anxiety and agitation we are in, till :we learn the
decision of the Admiralty on the appeal now made to
them. I have written a strong letter also, and I
know that Sir F. Beaumont, Captain Hamilton, and
Mr. Barrow, who are all at their posts, will allege
the necessity of prompt measures with all their
powers. Should we fail, we must look to America
alone as our resource. To you will belong all the
virtue and credit of continuing the search, when our
countrymen fail ; and to you will belong the honour
and glory of succouring the distressed, and of settling
for ever that vexed question which for centuries
it has been the ambition of Europe, abandono
my husband and my countrymen both tO
England in particular, to solve. I cannot

"It appears that it was Captain AUStill'a intention
to look into Wellington Channel himself, and also
into Jones's Sound before he returned "home, but
as to the former, Penny says he will find the ice
able, as an eye witness, to see the opening. Nothing,
perhaps, could penerate it in its present state but

the peculiar trials by which the Advance was tested
in those hitherto unknown and
shaping the destiny of
this great mission of charity, even though fated
not to discover the long. lost vvanderer. But let ns
begin our narrative :-- . .
The AtileriCell Expedition entered Wellington Sound
on the 26th of Aug., 1850,
.where they met Captain
Perry with the Lady Franklin, and Sophia, and were
Sir Johnt Ross and Commodore
afterwards joined by
Austin. On the 27th, ()apt: Ferry discovered un-
mistakable evidence:of Frank. lin. s first winter quarters
—three graves with inscriptions on wooden head-
boards dating as late as
.April, 1846. Their inmates,
according to these inscriptions, were of his crew—two

ut affordin g
cations which would serve as guides to the searchers
or give assurance to hope.
On the Bth of September the expedition forced
through the ice to Barlow's Inlet, where they nar-
rowly escaped being locked in in the ice. But they so
far succeeded, and on the 11th reached Griffith's

Island, the ultimate limit of their western progress.
From this they set sail on the 13th, with the intention
of returning to the United States, but were locked
in, near the mouth of Wellington Channel. Here
commenced those perilous adventures, anything com-
parable to which, were never encountered and sur•
vived. By force of the northern icedrift they were
helplessly drifted to 75 deg. 25 min. N. lat., and
thence drifted again into Lancaster Sound, some-
what, we should say, in a south-easterly direction.
The agitation of the ice elevated the Advance
nearly seven feet by the stern and keeled her 2 feet 8
inches starboard. In this position she remained with
some slight changes for five consecutive months. And
while in it the depth of winter closed its frozen terrors
around the expedition. The polar night fell upon them,
and for eighty days no ray of solar light broke upon
them. The thermometer (Fahrenheit) ranged 40 de-
grees below zero, and sometimes sank to 46. Early in
this awful night (November sth), the Rescue was
abandoned, for the purpose of economizing the fuel,
and the crews of both vessels determined to brave their
fate together. They every moment expected the
embracing ice would crush the vessel to atotns, and
consequently stood prepared, sleeping in their clothes
with knapsacks on their backs, to try chances on
the ice, mid storm, and terror, and night. For this
terrible trial they had made every preparation, had
provision sledged and everythingin readiness which
might be useful for such a journey. They were then
90 miles from the land, and so certainly did they ex-
pect that they should make this alarming trial, that
on two occasions (Bth December and 23d January),
the boats were actually lowered and the crews assem-
bled on the ice to await the catastrophe.
During -thb -petto4,44.4icurvy becameApidemic,
and assumed an alarming character. Its progress
defied all the usual remedies, and only three men
escaped the attack. Captain De Haven was himself
the greatest sufferer. The constant use of fresh
water obtained from melted ice, active mental and
physical exertion, and the care of Divine Providence,
arrested any fatal result; and the disease yielded to
a beverage composed of a sort of apple, tea, and lemon
juice. After entering Baffin's Bay, Jan. 13, the ice
became fixed, and the little expedition became sta-
tionary and fast in the midst of a vast plain of ice, 90
miles from any land. The stores, materials, and cord-
age were stowed away in snow-houses, erected on the
ice, and a sort of encampment was formed, with all
the appearance, if not the solidity, of terra firma.
The tables of ice varied from three to eight feet in
thickness.

Nor was this situation of peril and awe without its
attractions. Auroras, Perhelia (mock suns), and
mock moons, of the most vivid lustre succeeded one
another without intermission, and as day approacbed
the twilights, streaking the northern horizon, were
vividly beautiful. At length the God of Day showed
his golden face (18th Feb.) and was hailed with three
hearty American cheers. Gradually his influence
was felt, and the waxen-like colour of the com-
plexion, which the long night had superinduced, gave
place to freckles and tan. The disease, too, quickly
disappeared.
On the 13th of May the Rescue was re-occupied.
The disruption of the ice was suddeu and appalling.
In twenty minutes from its first moving, the vast field,
as far as the eye could reach, became one mass of
moving floes, and the expedition once more drifted
southward. By a continued providential assistance,
it passed the perils of Lancaster Sound and Baffin's
Bay, and on the 10th of June emerged into open wa-
ter, lat. 65 deg. 30 min. N., a little south of the Arc-
tic circle, being thus released from an imprisonment
of nearly nine months, during which they helplessly
drifted 1,060 miles. While in Lancaster Sound the
roar of the rolling water and tumbling ice exceeded
all earthly tumult, and was sometimes so loud and
stunning as to render both voice and hearing useless.
Capt. De Haven's first care on his escape was to
repair damages and restore the health and vigour of
the crews. With that object he visited Greenland,
where he refitted. After a short delay, with una-
bated courage and unflinching purpose he once more
bore northward. On the 7th of July the expedi-
tion spoke some whalers, and on the Bth passed the
whaling fleet by the Dutch islands, there arrested by
the ice. By the 11 th the expedition reached Baf-
fin's Islands, and entered through vast masses of loose
ice. Here the Prince Albert joined. They conti-
nued in company till August 3d, warping through the
ice, when the Prince determined to try the southern
passage. De Haven persevered in his course until the
Bth, when he became completely entangled in floes
and bergs. Here again the expedition encountered
perils of the most alarming kind. The floating ice
broke in the bulwarks, and covered the deck in
broken masses like rocks tumbled pell-mell by a
mountain torrent. The more than iron endurance of
the gallant ships was severely tested by the crush of
the closing ice, but they rose to the pressure as if
defying the elemental strife, baffled its fury, and
somewhat disabled, but still without a plank yielding
in any vital part, rode safely in an open road on the
19th day of August.
Here, finding the north and west already closed
against them, the American expedition set their sails
and bore homeward, after having dared and suffered
and overcome_ difficulties and dangers such as scarcely
if ever beset the path of the mariner.
It is supposed the English expedition wintered at
or near Fort Martyr, and thence prosecuted their
voyage westward. The American expedition, there-
fore, was in a position more favourable to the search.
It was in a far higher latitude, and the so-called polyna
(open sea) could not have been far distant, but the
inevitable drift into the waters of Lancaster Sound
was fatal to its spring progress, and fatal to the chances
which its enterprise had won.
The officers and crews of the other vessels of the
expedition were all in good health and spirits up to
the 13th of September, 1850.
The Advance parted with her consort in a heavy
gale off the banks. The latter has since arrived.
The Advance brings several fragments from the en-
campment of Sir John Franklin, a pair of fine Esqui-
maux dogs and some articles of curiosity.
Thus ends this noble expedition, without discover-
ing any satisfactory index to the fate of Sir John
Franklin ; but at the same time without any evidence
to preclude further hope. Sir John might have won
the point which the Advance was baulked of by the
fatal drift into Lancaster Sound. If so, and it is not
impossible, there is no reason to doubt the possibility
of himself and crew surviving in !those regions where
nature has adapted the resources of life to the rigours
of the climate.
The gratification of officers and crew on once
more reaching their native land is in no sina‘l degree
enhanced by the recollection that in no scene, no
matter how trying, was their trust in and mutual
love for each other interrupted , and Captain De
Haven retains the most lively recollections of the gal-
ant, unflinching conduct of officers and crew.

CHARGE of MURDER on the HIGH SFAS,
At the Southampton Police- court, on Friday, a
fine-looking sailor, named Joeeph Nichols, was
charged with the murder of Cheirles Phillips, a black
sailor, in the Bay of Monte Video.
Henry Brooks, late chief nu tte of the Christina
Murray, of Kincardine, deposed that the ship was, on
the 21st of July, in the Bay of Monte Video at
anchor. The prisoner at the her, Joseph Nichols,
was a sailor on board the brig, and so was Charles
Phillips, the deceased. On the !alst of July, at eight
o'clock at night, he set the watch and went below.
By Mr. Fall—The man he left in charge was some-
what drunk; his name was Isaac Thomas.
At half-past nine he was asleep, but the captain
called to and woke him, there being a noise above,
and told him to go on deck. He went up, and found
about four mon on the main hatchway, making a
noise and singing out. The prisoner, Charles Phil-
lips, and Isaac Thomas were pa rt of them. He told
them to go below, and they went forward. He
ordered Thomas down below because he was the
worst amongst them. Phillips; said he could put
Thomas down himself. Nichols said, " No, you
won't put him down." Phillips then struck Nichols
in the face, and Nichols said that Phillips had cut
him in the face. Witness looked in Nichols's face,
but he did not see any cut. Nichols then called out,
1 "Boy, Owen, bring up my knife." Owen was in
the forecastle. Witness then stepped back to the
windlass, fearing he might get stabbed. The boy
came up the forecastle hatch. Witness called to the
boy "not to bring up the knife just now on any ac-
count." Witness did not see that he did bring one
up. Phillips and Nichols both came from the
forecastle hatch towards the larboard forerigging,
fighting together. They felt down struggling
together, and Phillips roee up and said-,

panion. Witness and the captain and the second mate
sat up all night. The next morning the captain and
crew went before the captain of the port. The pri-
soner was put in prison, and the witness went to the
British consul's, and was examined in the absence of
the prisoner. The prisoner was not searched on
board after the accident, and when he was taken to
the prison he was not searched. The captain brought
two knives off from the consul's. When he left
Thomas in charge of the vessel he was a little drunk,
and so were all the sailors. He was not so himself.
They had been discharing a cargo. of
.000 demijohns
of gin, but he did not think the men got any of it.
They probably had rum from on shore. He did not
know what they had. The crew were all discharged
except the second mate. Witness and a boy named
Rose were sent home with the prisoner by the British
Consul. The deceased was a native of Jamaica. He
never spoke after the words before-mentioned.

John Rose, a boy on trial before becoming an ap-
prentice
on board the brig, and acting as cabin-boy,
deposed to being in bed at near eleven o'clock on the
21st of July. He heard a noise, and the captain
went on deck ; he followed him, and saw the prisoner
and Phillips come from before the windlass
struggling, but he could not see distinctly. The
captain and he went as far back as the companion,
and saw them both fall. Phillips got up and said,
" Oh, Mr. Brooks, I'm stabbed." Mr. Brooks
took hold of him and led him as far as the
quarter-deck, and there Phillips fell and died.
air. Brooks said, " Oh, Joe, you've done this."
The prisoner was close to the deceased at the time.
Joe said, " No, I have not, Mr. Brooks." The crew
had been drinking. The next morning he saw the
deceased had a cut right across the front of his hand.
There was a gore of blood coming through the clothes
from the left shoulder. He said to the captain,
" You had better not go nearer," lest ha might get
hurt, for he heard some one call for his knife. The
captain went back to the companion and got a
musket. He fired three times for assistance, but none
came. Witness saw , two knives taken from the men
when in the guard-boat next morning, but not from
the prisoner. They found an adze on board next
morning belonging to the prisoner, but it had nothing
on it.

The room was cleared for the bench to deliberate.
The case is very peculiar. From the information
in the magistrates' hands, it appears that the deposi-
tions were taken in the absence of the prisoner, and
copies only of them sent home. The witnesses are
totally without money, and have only had 103. Gd. from
the relieving officer, and if it had not been for the
mayor's interference, both parties, the mate who is a
respectable man, and the boy a very intelligent lad,
would have been taken into the workhouse or
assistance refused. Then how are the witnesses,
when bound over, to maintain themselves, so as to be
in attendance punctually at the assizes ? There was
much consideration of the subject, and the case is full
of difficulties, to say nothing of the great expense to
the tows, which has nothing to do with the parties.
Finally, the prisoner was brought in, and in answer
to the usual question, said, "I know nothing more
about it than the child unborn."

Le was then fully committed for trial at the March

assizes.

THE FATAL POACHING AFFRAY A 2
RUFFORD.

MANSFIELD, TUESDAY.—The adjourned inquest on
the body of 'William Roberts, one of the Earl of
Scarborough's gamekeepers, who was killed in
Machin's Gorse, Rufford, on the night of the 13th
instant, in a conflict with a large body of poachers,
was concluded yesterday before Mr. Coroner Falkner.
Another keeper, T. Charlesworth, of Eakring, lies in
a precarious state. Some additional evidence was ad-
duced; and after long deliberation the jury returned
a verdict of manslaughter against some person or per-
sons unknown. A court has been held by the magis-
trates of this division at the Town-hall this afternoon,
at which Colonel Wildman, the Rev. G. F. Holcombe,
and Messrs. Harcicastle and W. S. Coke, and Captain
Salmond were present. Ten prisoners were arraigned
who, with six others previously discharged, had been
apprehended on suspicion of participating in the mur-
derous assault upon the Earl of Scarborough's keepers
and game watchers. Eight of these were discharged
to-day, with an intimation that should evidence of a
more satisfactory nature be obtained against them
hereafter they would be again apprehended. The
only two retained in custody are George Bowskill,
besom maker, Mansfield, and George Robinson,
framework knitter, of Bulwell. Charlesworth, the
maimed keeper, who now lies in a precarious state,
distinctly swears that Bowskill was the man who
struck the blow that killed Roberts ; and Robinson
was found by the police, two days after the affray,
concealed in his own cellar at Bulwell, having bruises
upon his person, and spots of blood on his dress. A
third prisoner, Samuel Sims, also a framework knit-
ter, of Bulwell, is now in the Nottingham Infir-
mary, in charge of a policeman, who is in constant
attendance upon him. He is suffering from a com-
pound fracture of the arm, and is at present unable
to be removed to prison. The case of these three
prisoners is adjourned for further investigation on
Monday next.
