The service on which these ships have been em-
ployed has been, we assert without fear of contradic-
tion, of a most arduous description; and although
unsuccessful in bringing home any decisive intelli-
gence respecting the fate of Sir John Franklin and
his gallant companions, yet their exertions in the
glorious cause of humanity have been most strenuous,
and deserving not only of the gratitude, but of some-
thing more substantial at the hands of the nation.
Captains A ustin and Ommanney, the officers, and
men have returned, we are happy to say, in most robust
health ; and it does great credit to the arrangements
in the squadron when we state that during the absence
of the expedition only one man has been lost out of
the crews of the four vessels.
The officers of the Portsmouth Dockyard were
individually introduced to the new Commander-in-
Chief, Admiral Brigs, by Admiral-Superintendent
ice. Prescott, at ten o'clock yesterday morning, at the
_ Admiralty-house.
Avon steam-tender, Second Master Commander
Veitch, arrived at Portsmouth on Monday, and has
. proceeded to Devonport.
Rattler screw steam-sloop, Commander Mellersb,
is caulking; she has gone alongside the coal depot,
to complete her fuel. Major-General Lord Fitz3la-
rence and family are expected to embark about Satur-
day or Monday next. The Rattler will be out of the
• hands of the dockyard on Thursday evening.
Thetis, 38, Captain Kuper, C. 8., arrived at Valpa-
• raiso August 10, from Monte Video.
Vulcan screw troop- ship, Master Commander Penn,
;34 left Torbay on Monday for Cork.
The clipper yacht America is in Portsmouth Har-
bour, and is to go on the graving slip to-day.
PonTsmourn, WEDNESDAY.--The Dauntless, 33,
screw-frigate, Captain Halsted, having encountered
very heavy weather in the Channel, put back to St.
Ice Helen's on Sunday. Durtrig the time • she was out
one of the pipes of the condenser of her cooking galley
(Grant's) gave way, which it was necessary should
be repaired before the ship left England. Mr. John
• Davies, master-attendant of the Clarence yard (who
i% now superintends the manufacture of Grant's im-
proved galley for the navy), with much promptitude
ru
went out to the ship and brought ashore the condenser,
which was repaired and sent off again this afternoon.
Shipwrights have been sent from the dockyard to fix
it, and the Dauntless is expected to sail to-morrow
morning, at daylight, for Lisbon.
; The Rattler's rudder-head has been found so defec-
-1% tive as to require to be unshipped and brought on
shore. Every exertion is being used to complete the
•
I repair of it by to-morrow, so that the embarkation of
1% Major- General Frederick Fitzoturence, G.C.H , the
1%;34
Lieutenant- Governor of this garrison, family, and
suite, for Madeira, may take place at the time ap-
,u pointed. The Rattler is ordered to sail on Friday.
*4 The Odin steam-frigate, Commander Sir W. Wise.
man, Bart., came into harbour to-day, and has resumed
her former position as a reserve steamer.
6d The Sprightly steam- vessel, Mr. G. Allen, Master-
Commanding, returned from Woolwich to-day, bring..
;% ing Mr. Roberts, Master of the Blenheim, and a party
of riggers who navigated the Defence convict-ship
hence to Woolwich.
WooLvacsr, OCT. 8.--The Resolute, Capt. Horatio
T. Austin, C. 8., and the Assistance, Captain Erasmus
Ommanney, were both taken into one dock to-day,
with their masts and rigging all standing ; and the
Pioneer screw steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander
Paid. I Price. Osborn, and Intrepid screw steam-vessel, Lieutenant-
- Commander Cator, into the basin, with their rigging
and masts all standing, and on the whole of the vessels
, being paid off to-morrow it is intended to retain
• some of the officers and petty officers of each vessel,
and they will be borne on the books of the Fisgard,
flag-ship at this port, for the protection of the stores.
A party from the Assistance found the broken blade
of an oar at Cape Hotham having the word " Friend-
_ ship" cut on it, and having, apparently, belonged to a
, whale fishing-vessel of that name. They also found
large staves of casks that had evidently contained oil.
On the Carey Islands they found two cairns, but al-
though they dug five feet under one of them they
could not find any written or printed documents.
They found on one of the cairns a small piece of
board, the initials of what may have been intended for
three persons, and the date 1827. It may be in some
degree satisfactory to know that there is not an officer
' connected with Captain Austin's expeditionjwho gives
the least credence to Adam Beck's story of the
murder of Sir John Franklin's companions, and Cap-
tee. tain Ommanney ascertained beyond doubt that only
three families have existed for a long period near the
place where the murders were said to have been com-
mitted.

FULIGINOUS EXPANDING MACHINE.
Among the many improvements science has
brought under our notice, few are likely to add more
to our domestic comfort than the apparatus for clean-
ing chimneys, patented by Mr. Osman Geddy (che-
mist to his late Majesty), called the " Fuliginous
Expanding Machine." We had the opportunity of
seeing it used in one of our Government buildings
through seven chimneys, three of which had recently
been cleansed, and although never used, Geddy's fuli-
ginous machine brought down a quantity of soot, and
from one in the upper story the enormous bulk of
two and a half bushels; and through which no
machine ever invented hitherto has passed from bottom
to the top. 'Will not this account to the public for
the many disastrous fires and loss of property ?
Masses of this soot that had corroded in a slope in the
chimney have been submitted to our inspection, and
we find it of an extremely ignitable character from
length of time. An association is formed, and work-
ing this fuliginous apparatus in Pimlico, Chelsea, and
Brompton, to the great satisfaction and comfort of
those within its reach; and we find also they are
daily cleansing chimneys in high houses in and about
Belgravia, some of which no former brushes could
have cleansed without the aid of climbing boys, many
having angles of 110 degrees.
It is well known that the machine carried about by
the common sweep is of very inefficient construction,
yet it may be passed up a chimney, and you go out-
side, to have ocular demonstration that it emerges at
the top; it is diligently worked down again—very
little soot has accompanied it, and you flatter your-
self that the flue is not foul ; after a short interval the
operation is repeated, but gradually the chimney
ceases to draw, and you find your house filled with
smoke ; at length you send for a bricklayer or cowl
maker, to see if there be not some defect in his pro-
vince to rectify, and he speedily discovers, if he goes
at once to the top, that the chimney-pot is cboaked
inside with soot, hardened by the weather, leaving
only a perforation wide enough for the wooden part
of the sweeping machine to free its way through, but
firmly resisting the action of the whalebone-brush, the
can only
observationbe ; but now that there is
guessed by that which is
sides of which glide over instead of removing these
corrosions. What may be the state of the other part
of
withinthe fl
reu
ae
c
this Geddy's fuliginous machinery, which has been
pronounced by the highest authorities in the king-
dom to be in every respect superior to all others, the
public need no longer be subject to the annoyance
and expense of having their work improperly done.
The machine possesses several claims to originality;
its chief peculiarity consists in the adoption of a cir-
cular brush, which is divided into four parts, and,
being fixed on springs, is capable of expansion and
compression in every shape of chimney, or every
eccentricity of angle.; at the apex there is a ball
moving on a universal joint, which guides the brush
in angular flues ; below the brush there is another
universal joint, which, when the top comes in contact
with the shoulder of an angle, allows the brush to
assume the shape indicated by the acuteness or ob-
tuseness of the angularity. There is much ingenuity
displayed in the construction of the Jointsgh which
machine is
con-
nect the canes or rods by
whi-
worked, and whereby the revolving Sor rotatory
ventions were mo-
tion, by which all other similar 111
ren-
dered almost inoperative, is in this effectually
t
avoided.

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—Tuesday eveni, g
a fatal accident happened on the line of the Easte •n Comi-
ties Railway, to a man named William Lever. It appars
that ti,e deceased was in the service of the Electric Tele-
graph Company, and was in the act of crossing the railway,
near the Mile-end platform, when he was jammed betwet
the buffers of two carriages. He was extricated with diffi-
culty, and carried to a surgeon's in the neighbourhood, who
found that he had received such serious injuries, that he ad-
vised his removal to the London Hospital, whither he was
conveyed in a cab; but when the vehicle reached the insti
tution, the unfortunate man was found to he quite dead. The
body was examined by the resident medical officer, wLo as-
certained that the deceased had =tabled extensive internal
injurieo.
