Majority for Mr. Love
The CHAIRMAN then declared Mr. Love duly elected.
Mr. Lova returned thanks for the honour done him,
and assured the meeting it would be his desire to carry
Gut improvements in the conduct of the company that
should be for the benefit of all, and which he had ex-
plained in his address to the shareholders.
Mr. MALINS thanked the shareholders who had voted
for him for their support. His being in a minority
would not affect his endeavours to save the property of
the shareholders. (Cheers.)
Mr. HAYNES stated to the meeting that, in Feb. next
when, in accordance with the ordinary course of affairs,
Mr. Packe, a director, would resign, be should move
that Mr. J. T. Norris be elected to fill the vacancy.
(Hear, hear.)
A SHAREHOLDER said that he was informed that on a
former occasion a proprietor, named Acland, attended
and addressed the shareholders, not only as a proprietor,
' but as a paid advocate for Mr. Love.
Mr. ACLAND said the hon. proprietor had no right to
ask the question, but out of courtesy to him he would
answer it. He came there with no other purpose than
to promote the advantage of the company. If ama a
was paid or not it did not affect his argument, otherwise
Christianity was in danger, because the parsons were
paid for preaching it. ("Oh, oh," and disapprobation.)
Mr. Acland said he bid not received any money for hie .
cervices on that occasion, nor did he expect to do so.
The thanks of the meeting were unanimously awarded
to the scrutineers and officers of the company.
A similar vote of thanks was awarded the chairman,
after which the meeting separated.

CAPT. COLLLVSON, R.N., ON THE PROPOSED
ARCTIC SEARCH.

Captain CoHinson has addressed the following letter
to the Times :
(" Sir,--In your leading article on Thursday, relative
to the continuance of the search for Sir John Franklin
and his companions, you have most unfairly summed up
the results of the expeditions hitherto sent in quest of
our missing countrymen.
"There is not a doubt that hardships have been un-
dergone and perils encountered ; but the assertion that
the crews of the abandoned ships were withdrawn by ' a
miracle almost' is not warranted by the facts related in
the journals now before the public.
" So long as no else was obtained to the route pursued
by the missing vessels after leaving Beechey Island there
was a necessity that every nook and corner of the Arctic
Sea should be examined, entailing what we know now
to be much unnecessary hazard and fatigue. The
case is now different ; we know the exact spot where
to go to ; we knew the confines of the area within which
the record of their voyage remain have been reached by
a vessel ; we know that the travelling parties from the
Enterprise could have traversed the very route pursued
by the crews of the Erebus and Terror after they aban-
doned their vessels, and we are aware that that ship re-
turned in safety to England. Yet, in the face of all
this, you call upon the British public to discountenance
what you are pleased to term "so outrageous a pro-
ceeding.". . .. .. . -

After the labour, the anxiety we have undergone, you
call upon us to forbear when the noble object which has
occupied the attention of the whole civilised world for
the last ten years is fairly within our grasp.
Setting aside the question as to whether there are
any sill vivors or not, we owe to the memory of these .
135 Englishmen, whose lives have fallen a sacrifice in
the accomplishment of a great geographical problem, to
the satisfaction of their friends and relatives, that the
mystery attending their fate should be cleared up.
We owe it to our national honour that what we have

power without serious risk to place the matter beyond a
