Ti PROJECTED VOYAGE TO THE ARCTIC
REGIONS.

Of the nature of the projected voyage to the Arctic
Seas by Mr. Kennedy and his crew of Orkney men, in
search of Sir John Franklin, a few notes are supplied by
the John o' Groat Journal. Mr. Kennedy is now at
Aberdeen, where the little ship, the " Prince Albert,"
is fitttng out. The route to be followed is
by Lancaster Sound, then down Prince Regent's
Inlet as far as possible. The ship is then to be moored
in some harbour, and two boats will be dispatched in
various directions according to circumstances, or as
the openings in the ice may present. One
boat it is intended to bring overland to the western
shore, at Cresswell or Brentford Bay in the direction
of the magnetic pole. The other will be sent south-
wards to Felix Harbour, and will cross Boothia
Isthmus, and after striking the sea-coast will pro-
ceed by Sir James Ross's Strait to meet the other
boat. After meeting, they will again diverge and
explore westward. It is then intended that one of
the boats be dispatched in the direction of Simp-
son's Straits, whilst the other will be directed north-
west with a view to come on the track of Dr. Rae and his
party. Mr. Kennedy has been thirteen years in the
service of the Wudson's Bay Company, and spent eight
years of that period in Labrador. Knowing the country,
and the abundance of deer, salmon, and marina animals,
he has the firm persuasion that at least a portion of Sir
James Franklin's party are yet alive. He goes out with-
out fee ur sward, animated by a pure devotion to the
service. The crew consists of seventeen persons, nearly
all natives of Orkney. The expedition is to be conducted
on teetotal principles; and the ship will be ready for
sea by the end of this month. She carries three boats
—one of mahogany, one of common materials, and
one of gutta percha. Messrs. Duthie, of Aberdeen,
are building a boat specially for Mr. Kennedy's use.
It is to be twenty-two feet long, only two feet wide at
the midshipF, or broadest part, and after being covered
with hide or gotta percha, with one person set in it—
canoe fashion—is calculated to draw only three inches of
water, the depth of the boat is to be twelve inches
at the seat. It is intended to propel this extraordinary
craft after the manner of the natives of these regions—
the Esquimaux—by a double-bladed oar, and the person
seated in it will be so covered up with a skin dress, but-
toned to the chin and fastened to the deck, that in the
event of its being swamped, it can easily be righted again
without any water getting into it. Mr. Kennedy con-
templates not only using this boat for crossing rivers
over ice, and down rapids, but to make it his couch of
repose all night, by simply pulling a blanket over him,
and there repose in a temperature that makes one freeze
to think of it. He has been accustomed to these hard-
ships, and has stood many nights in similar circum-
stances, with the thermometer 40 to 50 degrees below
zero; often, too, with no covering but the canopy of
heaven. The Prince Albert will be provisioned for two
years. All success attend her.
Letters have been received from Commander Pullen,
the officer in charge of the boat party from the Mackenzie
River, in search of Sir John Franklin. They are dated
Fort Good Hope, Mackenzie River, July 17, 1850, and
detail the proceedings of the party, who were upon the
point of starting, and hoped to reach the sea about
the 23d of that month. The season had been extraordi-
narily fine, and the party were confident of an open sea.
Others also, natives of the country, were of the same
opinion. Should they find provisions and fuel plentiful
on Banks's Land, it is possible that they might winter
there, for the further prosecution of the search next
season.—lnverness Courier.

SUPPOSED LOSS OF THE NEW YORK PACKET.

SHIP IVANHOE.
We regret to state that little doubt now remains as
to the fate of the splendid New York line of packet-ship
Ivanhoe and her officers and crew, respecting whose loss
grave apprehensions have recently been entertained.
Hitherto no public notice of the fact of the ship's non-
arrival has been taken, from a disposition to hope even
against hope; but by the royal mail steam-ship Asia ac-
counts were received from Savannah, on Saturday evening,
which render it unnecessary and futile, we fear, any
longer to preserve silence. Most of our readers will
remember that some months ago the Ivanhoe, whilst in
a storm at sea, lost her Commander, Captain Knieht,
who was swept overboard, unseen, from the poop. Her
then chief mate afterwards received the command,
and when the Ivanhoe last left New York, early in
February, was making, we believe, his voyage hither
in that capacity. Subsequently to her departure
from New York the Ivanhoe was observed by
the Joseph Walker, which arrived in the Mersey on the
lath ultimo, ashore on Nantucket Shoals during a fresh
gale of wind, with her sails spread. Her arrival at this
port was, however, daily expected, but without avail;
and at length grave fears of her safety were awakened
by the fact that large quantities of wreck such as
would belong to a ship of the Ivanhoe class had
been passed off the tilioels in question. On Saturday,
however, circumstantial evidence of a more marked
character arrived in Liverpool ; namely, a re-
port from Savannah that the ship Julia Howard, whilst
on her passage from Boston to that city, passed, on the
12th ult., in let. 30 34, long. 71, a quantity of wreck and
picked up a broken oar, upon the blade of which the word
Ivanhoe was stamed. Bales of cotton and casks, with the
private marks thereon, had else been picked up; and, el-
though the discovery
of abroken oa,r caunet alone be taken
as evidence of the ship being entirely lost, with all her
crew,

hope entertained of the Iranhee's safety. The Ivanhoe
was a fine ship, of about 1,300 tons register, and was
formerly commanded by Captain Edwards, well known
as having made several quick passages in her between
this port and New York. She was quite a favourite
ship wiqi both passengers and shippers of merchandise.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, April 7.
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat upon the Wool-
sack at Five o'clock.
PETITIONS.

The Earl of MALMESBURY gave notice that on
Thursday Lord Stanley would present a petition from
Guiana on the subject of colonial government.
Lord' WODEHOUSE presented several petitions
against Papal aggression.
Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from the
ward of Farringdon praying for a reform of the corpora-
tion of London.

The Earl of MALMESBURY presented apetition
from some parish in Worcestershire praying for an alte-
ration in the law of rating.

The Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition praying
for the adoption of measures for the suppression of the
slays-trade.

The Earl of RODEN presented several petitions from
places in Ireland against Papal aggression; also several
petitions praying for a grant of money to the schools in
connexion with the National Church, in which the
Scriptures were taught.
The Earl of ENNISKILLEN presented several peti.
tions from various places in Ireland, praying that the
Scripture•schools in that country might have a share of
the grant for the promotion of national education.
MASTERS AND SERVANTS BILL.

The Earl of CARLISLE moved the second reading
of this Bill, the object of which was to protect children
placed out in service by the parochial authorities from
the cruelties which had been inflicted upon the
unfortunate victim of the Sloanes. The Noble Earl ex-
plained the enactments of the Bill, which established
a system of periodical inspection on the part of the
boards of guardians, and the details of which have been
frequently given.
Lord REDESDALE was opposed to the measure, as
one which would render it impossible for paupers to be
placed out. What need had a great boy of eighteen of
such protection? Besides, no farmer would take a
pauper if he was exposed to have the guardians coming
and asking all sorts of questions of their servants.
The Earl of CARLISLE alluded to the Sloanes' case
as a proof of the necessity of some each measure as the
present.
The Bill was then read a second time.
PAPAL AGGRESSION.

Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from Ayr
against Papal aggression. The petition prayed that a
measure might be passed prohibiting the Roman Catho-
lic prelates from assuming territorial titles, enacting that
all bequests made to them under those titles should be
made null and void; that all acts that they might per-
form, and such titles should be void; and that a measure
should be introduced to prevent all synodical action on
their part. He would not say one word as to the prayer
of the petition, but be would take the opportunity of
protesting against the doctrine that all religious persua-
sions had a right to do whatsoever they might consider
necessary to the unlimited development of their religion.
They had no right to do anything under the pretence
of religious development which would interfere with the
liberties and rights of others.
