DR. JOUN RAE'S SEARCH FOR

KR JOHN FRANKLIN.

The New York Albion of a recent
following interesting communication
whose zealous laboufea-iiesee.laeekt
ovelarm asEffliise ifiEel'arnil late to 'the putht C :
" Fort Confidence, north-east end of Great
Bear Lake, Oct. 14, 1850.
" Sir,—The protracted absence of the excellent
Sir John Franklin and his gallant companions has
excited so much interest and anxiety in the public
mind, not only in England, but in all civilized com-
munities, that I offer no apology for troubling you
with the present communication, which, however un-
important in itself, may be bought worthy of a
corner in your valuable paper, in consequence of the
subject on which it treats, although I most sincerely
hope that, long ere this reaches you, news may be
received that some of the well-equipped sea expedi-
tions to the Arctic coast during the past summer has
effectually relieved the long-suffering explorers.
" In addition to the several ship expeditions sent
from England and the United States last season, to
search the Arctic shores, it was the intention of the
eludsou's Bay Company that two or more boat par-
ties, formed from the officers and servants in this
portion of their territories, should descend the
Mackenzie River, and trace the coast east and west
from its mouth, ay far as practicable.
" Being in charge of the Mackenzie River district,
I received instructions to the above effect from Sir
George Simpson (the able and enterprising terri-
torial governor) in the latter part of last June,
when oft the annual voyage to Portage La Loche
or Mithy Portage, with the furs, &c., obtained in
the winter. At the same time Commander Pollen
(who had come with a party of twelve men from her
Majesty's ship Plover to the Mackenzie, in autumn,
1849), being in company, on his way to England, via
York factory, received orders from the Admiralty to
return to the Arctic coast, and proceeded along shore
eastward as far as Cape Bathurst, and thence strike
out to sea direct for Benks's Land. Unfortunately,
from unavoidable circumstances, the stock of provi-
sions available at Fort Simpson and other stations in
the district was so small that only one party could be
sufficiently victualled; of course, precedence was
given to Commander Pullen, and he immediately
changed his course towards the north. By the same
conveyance I learned that Sir G. Simpson had, with his
usual perspicuity, ordered two boats leaded with pemi-
can and flour to be forwarded from Red River colony
by the first open water in the spring, and these I hoped
would reach it to some extent westward. But in this
I was disappointed, for, although we travelled with as
much rapidity as possible from the portage, where he
met the boats, we did not arrive at Fort Simpson
until the 16th of August, a date much too late to at-
tempt what was intended to be done, as it would be
the 20th or 25th of the month before we could reach
the sea. Under these circumstances it was difficult
to decidd how the men and provisions at my disposal
could be employed to most advantage.
" It being the belief of those on whose judgment
most reliance can be placed that the missing vessels
are shut up somewhere between the longitude of 103
deg. and 115 dog. west, and latitude 71 deg. north, it
is evident that the most direct route thither from the
southward is the Coppermine River, and that is the
route I intend to follow next summer, if I receive
no intelligence that the searching parties of this
season have been successful. To carry out my in-
tentions I started from Fort Simpson with two boats,
Mr. H. M'Kenzie (an assistant)
and 14 men, on the
23d of August; owing to the head winds and stormy
weather on this large lake I did not arrive here until
the 10th ult. This is to be our winter quarters, and
fortunately the houses were in as good condition as when
I left them last autumn, requiring nothing but doors,
windows, and a coat of mud to make them
habitable. As we could not expect a long continuance
of fine weather, no time was lost in establishing
fisheries, and procuring venizon from the natives, so
as to lay up a winter stock, in which we have been
more successful than I at one time anticipated, having
already on hand about two months' provisions for all
our party. amounting to 18 persons and 13 dogs.
" What I feared would be the most difficult matter
to accomplish was the building of two boats light
enough to be transported across the Coppermine, as it
was very generally
thought that the wood in this
bthoaatrds hiss sufficiently
yer goodhadmuchhisinamfinding to
happy to say that have succeeded much better
than was anticipated, one of the boats being already
more than half finished, and boards enough sawn to
complete both. They are to be twenty-two feet keel,
with
be
six feet six inches beam, and two feet three inches
we
deep midships, exclusive of keel, and each rigged
lug-sails.
, t,hlttw maysupposed by many tbat.to continue the
search for Sir John Franklin beyond-the summer of
1850, if not then found, would be 11 useless waste
of time, labour, and money ; but with this supposi-
tion I cannot agree, and my opinion is founded on
a personal experience which few persons have had
anacquiring, and which leads
me
to
part or all of Sir John's party
opportunitybele ve tha t aof
may still exist in 1851. In 1846-7 I wintered at
Repulse Bay with a party of 12 men, only two of
whom, before arriving there, had ever practised deer
shooting, and two others were fishermen. We had little
or no fuel that could be properly so called, the mud
with which our stone-house was plastered never dried
but only froze, and it was so cold inside that a man, one
night, got his knee frostbitten, although he had one
of his companions under the blankets with him. Yet,
we suffered no privation as regarded food, except that
during the shortest days we took only one meal per
diem as a precautionary measure, not knowing how
late it might be in the spring before the reindeer
migrated northward.
" That we were not much the worse for our expo-
sure to cold and low diet may be inferred from the
fact that, in the spring, we traced about 500 miles of
new coast, forming the shores of Committee Bay, in
doing which I and one of my men travelled on foot
upwards of 1,000 miles, and were, on our return (al-
though rather low in flesh), as sound and well as when
we started.
"When
Wh en
le
aving York factory in June, 1846, we
had not more than four months' provisions with us ;
when we returned to that place, after an absence of
14 months and 23 days, we still had a third of our
original stock of provisions on hand, showing that
we had by our own exertions, in a country pre-
viously totally unknown to us, obtained the means
of subsistence for 12 months. Why may not Sir J.
Franklin's party do the same ? If he has been pro-
videntially thrown on or near a part of the coast
where reindeer and fish are at all numerous, surely
out of so many officers and men sportsmen may be
found, after some practice, expert enough to shoot the
former, and fishermen to seize or net the latter, or
take them with hook and line set under the ice ?
this letter it was my object to
outline as possible of my con-
tgeimv"epWlyaotheuedn aolsp ebbrreaiget ifaonanns , but I have digressed sadly, and
must now endeavour to return to the subject. In the
spring, should our stock of provisions admit of it, I
purpose proceeding, with a couple of compa-
nions and a sledge of three dogs, in the beginning
march to the northward, of May, 15 or 20 daYs'
be-
tween Victoria and Wollaston Lands, during which
trip I hope to travel 500 or 600 miles (i. e., 250 or
300 miles out and the same distance homeward),
should we meet with no very serious obstacle. In the
meantime, provisions for the summer's voyage will
be hauled on sledges and deposited at the Kendall
River to which place the boats are to be brought
over as soon as the Dease River breaks up, which
may be about the 6th or 7th of June, when I shall be

INAUGURATION OF ME SHERIFFS.
The newly elected Sheriffs for London and Mid-
dlesex, Mr. Thomas Cotterell and Mr. Richard Swift,
gave their inauguration dinner last night in the Cord-
wainers Hall, Great Distaff-lane. About 120 gen..'
tlemen were present-; •. among whom, besides •the'
Sheriffs, were the Lord Cnief ,Baron, Mr. Juqice.
Taifourd, the Lord Mayor elect (Arderrnen flouter),
Lord Erskine, the Cursitor Baron, Alderman Sidue';,-;
M.l'., Mr. Mesterrnan, M.P., M. J. A. Harcleaitie;

Theleast was most loyally responded to.
Mr. Sheriff S WIFT proposed " Prince Albert, the
Prince of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family,"
and took occasion to refer to the general amiability
of disposition manifested by the Prince Consort, and
to the additional claim which he had upon the love
and gratitude of the country on account of the Great
Exhibition of the present year. The toast was drunk
with marked tokens of respect.
Then followed " The Army and Navy," proposed
by Mr. Sheriff COTTERELL, Major HAMILTON re-
turning thanks for the army, and Captain IlenE for
the navy.
The health of the Lord Mayor was next proposed
b 7 Mr. Sheriff COTTERELL, who spoke in laudatory
terms of the manner in which his Lordship had dis-
charged the duties of his office in entertaining distin-
guished strangers, and in particular of the excellent
conduct he had displayed on the great occasion of
her Majesty's visit to the City. The Lord Mayor
had received at her Majesty's hands very distinguished
honours, and he trusted he would long live to enjoy
them. The toast was then drunk with the usual
honours.

Mr. Sheriff Swirr proposed " The health of the
Lord Mayor elect," after a few sentences highly
eulogistic of his services in behalf of the city of
London.

The LORD MAYOR elect, in returning thanks, said
the citizens of London had placed him in a posi-
tion which he felt himself totally incompetent to fill,
at least in an efficient manner. He knew, however,
that he would have the sympathies not only of
every gentleman in that room, but of the whole
of that vast City, with which he had been con-
nected for more than a quarter of a century ; and after
having filled the various offices in the corporation
which usually preceded the Mayoralty, he thought it
was his duty to accept the higher office too when it
was offered to him by his fellow citizens. He hoped
he should not fail faithfully to perform the duties of
the office he had undertaken—duties, he would say,
1 which were intimately connected, not only with the
interests of the city of London, but of the country at
large.—(Cheers.) It was not necessary to say more,
though it would not be difficult to show that the cor-
poration had ever been actuated by a desire to pro-
mote the best interests of their fellow-citizens in every
part of the vast metropolis as throughout the coun-
try.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped that at the end of his
year of office he would be able to say that he had
done nothing to disgrace either himself or those who
had done him the honour to appoint him to that high
station.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Sheriff COTTERELL proposed " the Lord Chief
Baron, Mr. Justice Talfourd, and the other Learned
Judges."
The toast was drunk with great respect.
The LORD CHIEF BARON returned thanks in his
own name and in that of the other learned judges.
They deeply felt the honour that had been done them,
as they believed that the cordial approval, the honest
suffrage of their fellow-citizens in their behalf was
one of the best rewards they could receive for their
public services.—(Hear.) He personally felt great
pleasure in coming among them on the present occa-
sion. The city of London was closely connected with
the history of the liberties of this country. Those
liberties had been protected on various occasions by
the spirit, the independence, and the courage of the
citizens of London, and the predecessors of the great
officers whose inauguration they that day celebrated
had been found in the ranks 'of those who fought the
great battles that had seoured to this country those
social advantages we now enjoyed.—(Cheers.) He
thought they could not too much respect the ancient
privileges and customs of the city of London. In the
language of one of their own magistrates, he would
say that he felt great pleasure i❑ " doing suit and
service" to the city of London by being present at the
inauguration dinner of their sheriffs—(A. laugh)—
and in order to prove to them the interest he took in
it, be hoped he should be allowed,to propose as a toast
the healths of the two gentlemen whose inauguration
they were now celebrating.—(Hear.) The Lord
Chief Baron, after a few complimentary sentences,
then proposed " The health of the Sheriffs."
Mr. Sheriff COTTERELL and Mr. Sheriff SWIFT re-
spectively returned thanks.
Mr. Sheriff COTTERELL next proposed " The Ma-
gistrates of London," coupled with the name of Al-
derman Kelly.
Mr. Alderman KELLY, in returning thanks, said
he had been 21 years an Alderman and 60 years a
citizen of London, and was proud to say he bad
always been associated in the Corporation with gen-
tlemen of independent character who had the best
interests of their fellow-citizens at heart.—(Hear,
hear.) Though there had been observations thrown
out against them in some quarters, they must never
look at these sarcasms, but go forward doing their duty
and promoting to the utmost of their power the peace
and prosperity of their country.
Mr. Sheriff SWIFT proposed " The health of the
Cursitor Baron," which was drunk with loud applause.
The CURSITOR BARON returned thanks. He felt it
an honour to be associated with the magistrates of
London on any occasion. He had that day fulfilled
an annual duty of declaring on the part of the So-
vereign her full confidence in the choice which the
citizens of London had been pleased to make of she-
riffs, and he hoped it would be his fortune often to
meet them in future as he had met them that day.—
(Hear, hear.) The magistrates of the city of London
had long been enabled to discharge their high duties
for the public good, sometimes with comparative little
necessity for attracting public notice, but at other
times, as the Lord Chief Baron had reminded them,
on occasions when great activity had been required,
they had often stood first and foremost amidst the
brave, the great, and the noble of the land, to defend
the rights of all, even of the bumblest.—(Hear.) He
knew not whether it would be his fortune in future
years to see London as it had hitherto been, but he
trusted be should, as, for his part, he was satisfied
with London as it bad been.—(Hear.) If there was a
necessity for some extension, and for the admission of
others who might, perhaps, not unnaturally feel a
spirit of emulation—he would not call it envy—which
sometimes was said to lurk in places where those of
less activity were to be found, who had not striven for
the high seats of honour that might have been within
their grasp—if there was to be an extension, then he
would suggest that if that extension was to be merely
to St. Pancras or Marylebone, or Paddington, they
would be likely to find that the people of Chelsea,
Hammersmith, Brentford, and other parts were greatly
offended at their exclusion.—(Hear, hear.) He was
not envious of their privileges. Had he turned his
attention that way in early life, he might now have
had a seat at their table, for it was open to all, but
1 his course had been a different one. He was happy
to be their guest, and he trusted that they would
maintain their privileges as their predecessors had
done, because he believed the welfare of the country,
was very much involved in the prosperity and inde-
pendence of this great metropolitan City.—(Cheers.)
Mr. Justice TALFOURD proposed the health of
Lord Erskine, and in deing so paid a tribute to the
merit of his distinguished father. The name of Erskine
was identified with English law; his eloquence would
be coeval with the English language ; and the family
name, so well represented by the Noble Lord, would
adorn, he trusted, the British peerage as long as that
peerage lasted, which he hoped would be as long as
this country endured.—(Cheers.)
The toast was drunk with the usual honours, and
Lord ERSKINE briefly replied. At a very humble
distance, be felt all that interest towards the city of

[PRICE - SD.

London that he know his father felt during a long life.
The healths of the late Sheriffs, Sir R. Carden and
Sir ;George C. llodgkinson, were next proposed,. fol-
lowed by. the Masters and Wardens of the Spectacle
and! Cordwainers' Companies, the Under sheriffs, &c.,
andiat an advanced hour of the evening the company
sep,trated.
During the evening some excellent songs, glees,
&c., were sung, under the direction of Mr. Genge.
Mr. ILlrker acted as toastmaster with his usual effect.

received this I shall have ceased to live. I have never
done any good to myself or any one else about me.
I knew this must come a long while. I hope some
one will take pity on my poor wife and children; do

think of their unhappy condition. I have had the
means of death in my possession now more than two
weeks." (The letter then entered into some business
transactions, showing the state of his affairs, and
which it is unnecessary to give. It concluded by
imploring his friends not to forget his little ones, and
wishing them good bye.) It was signed "Ingle
Ruclge." Mr. Sewell, surgeon, of Fenchurch-street,
and other gentlemen who were acquainted with the
deceased, spoke of his disordered state of mind, from
which it would seem that he laboured under the im-
pression that he never would be able to do any good
tor himself and family, and that he would always be
unfortunate. Yesterday being settling day at the
Stock Exchange, he found himself not in a position
to meet certain demands, his account at his banker's
being considerably short of the sum required, but
which could have been readily averted by application
to the committee. He was seen on 'Change about
ten o'clock, and it is presumed that the dread of
meeting his difficulties induced him to commit the
melancholy act. After some remarks, the jury re-
turned a verdict of temporary insanity. The liabili-
ties of the deceased, we are informed, will not exceed

TEE COUNTY COURT JUDGE OF LIVER-
POOL AND 111 R. ill. J. TVHITTY.
LIVERPOOL, TEIESDAY.—We mentioned, yester-
day, the leading facts in the extraordinary proceedings
of the judge of the County Court, Mr. Ramshay,
against Mr. M. J. Whitty, proprietor and editor of
the Liverpool Journal. A placard, it will be recol-
lected, announcing the contents of the Liverpool
Journal, was on Saturday last posted, amongst other
places, near the entrance to the County Court, and it
contained the line, "Mr. Ramshay's opinion of the
people of Liverpool." This line gave offence to Mr.
Ramshay, the judge of that court. Immediately after
the judge took his seat in the court, a bill poster was
brought before him in the custody of a bailiff, but as
none of the offensive placards were found in the wallet
of the poster he was discharged. Two bailiffs were
then dispatched to the Journal office to obtain the
attendance of Mr. Whitty at the County Court.
Mr. Whitty declined to attend unless a summons
or warrant was produced. The bailiffs left the
office, but shortly afterwards returned, and at-
tempted, still without presenting any authority,
to arrest Mr. Whitty. Resistance was offered, and
the editor made his escape into the cellar, and con-
trived to get clear off. Yesterday, a summons having
been issued, Mr. Whitty appeared at the County
Court, and after the case bad been heard the judge
decided that the line in the bill was calculated to bring
the court into contempt, fined the defendant Si., and
in default of payment ordered him to be imprisoned
for seven days in Lancaster Castle. The judge also
decided that the defendant had been guilty of con-
tempt in consequence of the manner in which he had
addressed the officers of the court, and for this offence
he ordered seven days' imprisonment. Again, the
judge decided that Mr. Whitty, in seizing hold of a
paper-knife, and attempting to resist the officers, had
been guilty of an assault upon each of the officers, for
which a further fine of Si., or seven days' imprison-
ment, was inflicted in each case. Mr. Whitty was
kept in custody until the rising of the court, when he
obtained leave to return home to arrange affairs pre-
vious to his departure for Lancaster. He first gave
a promise that he would surrender at the railway
station in Lime street, in order to proceed in charge
of the bailiffs to Lancaster Castle. Mr. Whitty was
at the station at half-peat nine o'clock, and there met
a large number of friends who came to bid him good
bye. The bailiffs arrived with the warrant for the
unfortunate tailor Brown, but the document authori-
sing the incarceration of Mr. Whitty was not forth-
coming, and the train started with Brown alone.
Mr. Whitty, much to the surprise of all present, then
left the station on his way home, amid the cheers and
congratulations of his friends.
It was generally supposed that as the warrant had
not been executed last night it would not perhaps be
so; however, this morning, on the assembling of the
Court, Mr. Ramshay stated that he signed the war-
rant last night. Mr. Lowndes intimated that Mr.
Whitty was at his office; thereupon Mr. Stone, the
superior officer of the court, proceeded at once to en-
force it. Mr. Whitty was, however, allowed to remain
at his office till the next train for Lancaster departed
at 1.25, and was in the meantime visited by " troops
of friends."

At the meeting of the Court this morning--
The Judge, on taking his seat, said it was desirable
to make a few observations in reference to the dis-
graceful occurrences which had taken place in the
court. They must be extremely vexing to himself,
and offensive to every one. He had now found it ne-
cessary to give direct orders to the officers that every
man who interfered in an improper manner with the
proceedings of the court should be treated by him
with the most severe punishment. He had now come
to the conclusion that it was necessary to have the
matter decided, whether the Court was to be treated
with prop©r respect, or be insulted and rendered
anything but respectable by the filthy comments
and insults of the town. He would try whether
the law or the slanderer and the libeller should

that morning. He held in his hand a letter threaten-

the natural tendency and consequence of such pro-
ceedings as were on the previous day the subject of
inquiry. He held in his hand a letter threatening him
with assassination on this very day ; but he would
tell the dirty slanderer, if present there, that he feared
him not.
It having become known that Mr. Whitty would
be at the railway station, in order to proceed to Lan-
caster Castle, at one o'clock, a great concourse of
most respectable persons assembled in Lime-street at
that hour to witness his departure. On making his
appearance in the custody of Mr. Stone, high bailiff
of the county court, and several assistants, Mr.
Whitty was warmly greeted with hearty cheers,
