A highly respectable meeting of the friends and promo-
ters of the above intended expedition was yesterday held
in the Geological Society's rooms in Regent-street, to re-
ceive a report of the subscriptions received, and to adopt
further measures to facilitate the execution of this highly
interesting and benevolent object.
The Right Hon. Sir GEORGE COCXBURN, G.C.8., took
the Chair at 1 o'clock, and was supported by R. W. HAY,
Esq. (in the absence of Lord Goderich), Under Secretary
of State for the Colonial Department, Admirals Sir Richard
Keats, Sir T. Ilyam Martin, Sir Henry Blackwood, Sir
Robert W. Otway, Sir Charles Ogle, and John E. Douglas,
Esq., Captain Beechey, and numerous other distinguished
naval officers and scientific gentlemen.
The GALLANT ADMIRAL having taken the chair, pro-
ceeded to address the meeting to the following effect :
He stated that having been requested to preside at the
present meeting, he would endeavour at once to state,
to the best of hie ability, what he considered to be
the object for their consideration. It was generally
known upon what principles individuals were at first ad-
mitted into the navy, to qualify themselves to take the
command of a vessel, in order to navigate with surety
and safety those general tracts of the expansive ocean,
which, from the extensive commerce and peculiar in-
sular situation of this country had become familiarised to
all nautical men. The arduous duties they had, in this
preliminary step to their profession, to execute, exceeded
those of, perhaps, any other profession. Long, and very
great experience, however, was necessary to qualify them
to explore unknown regions, where the ordinary rules of
navigation became almost a dead letter. With these diffi-
culties to encounter in the outset, it could not be viewed
but with the greatest admiration to see our countrymen
afterwards volunteer their cervices to undergo new pri-
vations, hardships, and dangers of the most formidable
description, from motives purely devoid of personal interest,
and only actuated by an ardent desire to promote the bene-
fit of science. They derived no advantage, nor expected
to derive any other than the approbation and the protec-
tion of their country.—(Hear.) The lead which this
country had taken in nautical and geographical research
within the last half century had set an example to, and ex-
cited a similar feeling of enterprise throughout the whole
civilized community. The names of Parry and Franklin
had acquired an honourable rank in the history of this
country, and it became a duty to hold up to their successors
encouragement for future enterprises, to convince them, at
all events, that they should not be forgotten in the course
of their perilous undertakings.—(Cheers.) It was this
feeling of sympathy arid protection on the part of their
country that would encourage and lead them on to success
under the most trying circumstances, and, at the last ex-
tremity, they would indulge in—hope. He would now
come to the more particular purposes of their meeting to-
gether. Captain Ross, of the Royal Navy, being an
officer of great experience, and in every way qualified, was
selected by the Admiralty Board, in 1817, to be intrusted
with the command of an expedition to explore Baffin's
Bay, and endeavour to discover a North West Passage.
This important undertaking he had fulfilled with great
ability; and all competent persons were ready to admit
the skill with which he had navigated his vessels. On his
return down the western coast, land, and a supposed pas-
sage were seen, which, from some cause or other, he de-
clined to penetrate. This circumstance created an un-
pleasant feeling, and a second and subsequent expedition
were sent out at Government's expense, which proved
the error. From these numerous expeditions the boun-
dary of the North American Continent was pretty
clearly defined. Captain Ross feeling acutely, like all
sensitive men, under similar circumstances, that an
important duty had been taken out of his hands,
wished to relieve himself from the real or imaginary
stigma which bad attached itself to his enterprise.
He considered that a ray of hope displayed itself from
the subsequent researches made, and he thought if he
could complete the survey it would re-establish his
fame, or rattler reconcile himself to himself.—(Loud
cheers.) He therefore pressed his friends to second
him in his undertaking, and they, with a liberality which
reflected the highest honour on teem, furnished the pecu-
niary means for fitting out a ship and steam-vessel, to en-
able Captain Ross to make further researches. As it mis-
fortune had lodged itself upon this brave officer's head, no
sooner had the vessels put to sea than the ship left him,
the crew having mutinied. Prudence would have dictated
to an ordinary person the propriety of putting back with
his steam-vessel until another ship was procured, but not
so with Captain Ross, who 4eterinined to push on with his
single steam-vessel. His object was, in the first instance, to
make towards the point at which the Fury was lying a
wreck ; but this very circumstance of the loss of the Fury
ought to have convinced Captain Ross of the necessity for
having two vessels to sail in company. He (the Gallant
Chairman) took for granted that Captain Ross reached that
position, and, therefore, from the frail construction of his
vessel compared with th it of the Fury, it must inevitably,
from the fatal effect of the great body of ice, have met the
same fate, or probably have been dashed to pieces. Captain
Rose and his brave little crew of 19 men, would, no doubt,
adhere to this spot : although it afforded little possibility of
escape, it was satisfactory to know that they could find
means in an eminent degree of supporting themselves.__
(Hear.) It was probable that these devoted individuals
would have sought some rising eminence or promon-
tory in those dreary regions, whence a distant view
might be obtained, to which they repaired every morning,
in anxious hope of some means of preservation being sent
them.—(Hear.) What must then be their feelings, (lay
after day, spent in fruitless watching, to find that no aid
was afforded them—and to retire disappointed, in a state
of wretched hopelessness, to pass another and another long
and dreary night?—(Hear, hear.) They, no doubt,
would, to the last, indulge in the fervent expectation that
they should not be allowed to perish without a helping
hand being held out by their country to save them.
Was it therefore that a stigma should be cast upon the
whole nation, whilst other countries had set us so noble
an example, because the small burn of three thousand
pounds was required to ascertain the fate of, perhaps to
rescue, these brave Englishmen ? He (the Gallant Chair-
man) could not believe it possible, in this metropolis,
which boasted of so many benevolent charities, to which
such munificent sums were annually contributed, that
such would be the case. There were also large and opu-
lent companies and bodies of individuals whose interests
and feelings were so closely allied with the maritime affairs
of the country, that he could not credit for a moment,
but this pittance, as he would call it, would be immedi-
ately raised.—(Hear.) There were the East India Com-
pany, the Trinity House, the Ship owners, who undoubt-
edly would afford their powerful aid. The expedition
was under the immediate sanction of Government. An
able and gallant officer (Captain Back) had volunteered
to conduct it, and the Secretary of State for the colonies
(Lord Goderich) had recommended a grant of 2,0001
towards it, so soon as the remaining 3,000/.should be raised
by the public.—(Hear.) He could not, therefore, think,
under such circumstances, that their brave countrymen
should he allowed to perish unheeded for want of so small
a sum. The Gallant Chairman here bore testimony to the
talents, experience, and benevolent conduct of Captain Back,
who had already undergone many perils in traversing
the frozen regions, and he felt assured no man was more
capable of undertaking the humane task than he was, and
which he had voluntarily imposed upon himself, and at all
events, of ascertaining if Captain Ross and his brave crew
were still existing.—(Hear.) If he should not succeed
in that, the voyage would not be lost, for another object
contemplated by it was, to complete the survey of the
north-eastern extremity of North America; and it would
be a disgrace to this country if the task so ably begun by it
was to be left finished by another nation. The Gallant
Chairman concluded by expressing his gratification at the
encouragement given to the undertaking by Lord Goderich,
and also the gentleman on his left (Mr. Hay), who felt
equally with his Lordship in the success of the expedition.
—(Cheers.)
R. W. HAY, Esq. (Under Secretary of State), apolo-
gised for the absence of Lord Goderich, who had commis-
sioned him to express the deep interest he took in the pre-
sent under taking.
A Gentleman, whose name we did not hear, suggested
the propriety of applying to the Hudson Bay Company for
assistance, who, through the medium of their officers, and
the native Esquimau:, might afford great assistance by sup-
plying provisions for the expedition.
The CAIAIRMAN observed that the suggestion had al-
ready been acted upon.

-- SMITH, Esq. (of the Hudson Bay Company),
stated that every member of that body felt most willingly

inclined to lend every assistance in their power, so long as
a shadow of Imp retrained of learning the fate of their
brave countrymen ; it was a debt which the Company
considered was due to the British Navy at large.—
(Cheers.) They bad, therefore, voted a sum cf 5001. to
be expended in a way which was considered to be most
beneficial to the expedition, that was, by forming depots of
ut °visions in the line which the expedition would take.
One half of the quantity of provisions, which was neces-
sarily considerable, had already arrived at the nearest
depot and was ready for use. As regarded the more dis-
tant depots, it required more time for the preserving of
the meat. The Hudson Bay Company did this, and con-
sidered it no more than a duty they ought to perform ;
but they wished it to be understood that they offered no
opinion as to the result of the undertaking, so that in case
of the expedition not succeeding the public might not ac-
cuse them of misleading them.
The CHAIRMAN then submitted several resolutions, ap-
proving of the expedition, appointing a committee, and for
raising subscriptions to defray the expenses ; also of thanks
to the Hudson Bay Company, Dr. Richardson, and Captain
Back.
The CHAIRMAN observed that if they were not able to
raise the required pittance, which he trusted would not be
the case, the amounts would be returned to the subscribers.
He bad also to acknowledge a letter from Sir James Shaw,
who was prevented attending, enclosing his subscription
of 2001.—(Cheers.)
Captain BEECHEY said that he regretted that, owing to
his absence from town, he had only learned the previous
night of this meeting, in the object of which he had for a
long time taken the deepest interest.—(Hear.) He bad
some time ago offered his services to the Admiralty to go
in search of Captain Ross, and he knew other officers had
done the same.—(Cheers.) It was their and his confi-1
deuce in the great experience, talents, and abilities of
Captain Back that had prevented their taking a more pro-
minent part, and he hoped the country would not think
that any officer of the British Navy had kept behind in
an enterprise so interesting, and coupled with so much
humanity.—(Hear.) He did not consider the fate of
Captain Ross at all hopeless. As regarded the danger
from starvation he (Captain Beechey) could bear testimony
from his own knowledge, that no part of those frozen re-
gions was more amply supplied with fish and other re-
sources for human sustenance than the spot where the
Fury lay, in addition to which he hoped that a supply of
clothing might be obtained out of the wreck. He assured
the meeting he most heartily subscribed to the views and
objects of the meeting.—(Cheers.)
The Gallant CHAIRMAN also passed a high encomium
on Captain Back, whose greatest reward, ❑o doubt, would
be to have the happiness of being the first to shake by the
hand his old friend Captain Ross.—(Cheers.)
Captain BACK, in a neat and appropriate speech, re-
turned thanks for the high approval expressed of his qua-
lifications for the conducting of the expedition, and de-
clared it would be the noblest object he ever felt ambitious
of achieving, if he should succeed in accomplishing its ob-
ject.—(Cheers.)
Sir GEORGE COCKBURN having left the chair,
Mr. HAY moved the thanks of the meeting to the Gal-
lant Admiral for presiding on the occasion.
Sir GEonGE COCKBURN returned thanks, and said that
he felt on this, as on every other occasion, desirous of se-
curing the honour of his country, and not allowing his
fellow-creatures to perish without an effort to preserve
them.—(Cheers. )
The thanks of the meeting were subsequently voted to
Lord Goderich and Mr. Hay, for their powerful assistance.
It was understood that another meeting should be called
in a few days to nominate a Committee of Management
from the list of the subscribers, who were as yet imper-
fectly known. A subscription was then entered into, to
which most of the gentlemen present subscribed. Amongst
others we noticed Lord Goderich's name fur 501.
The Meeting then separated.
The following are the resolutions agreed to :-
1. That in the opinion of this meeting an expedition to
seek out, and, if needful, rescue, Captain Ross and his crew,
is due both to the character and feelings of the country; and
the meeting pledges itself, collectively and individually, to
promote such an enterprise by every means in its power.
2. That subscriptions for the purpose be therefore opened,
under its authority, and with its full countenance, in every
part of the kingdom ; and as it appears from the documents
produced, that the Right lion. Viscount Goderich, Secretary
of State for the Colonies, has recommended to his Majesty's
Government to contribute 0,0001. towards the undertaking,
provided that other 3,000/. are collected by private sub_
scription, and whereas this sum is calculated only to enable
the Expedition to remain two seasons in the country, whilst
it may be extremely important to add to those a third, that
the subscriptions be, if possible, carried to the extent of 5,000/.
3. That a Committee of Management to superintend the
collection and approbation of the Fund be elected at a future
meeting of subscribers, to be held with the least possible delay.
4. That upon such a sum being obtained (say 2,0001.) as may
afford a reasonable hope of at least the smaller of the two sums

already mentioned being collected, the said Committee be au_
thorised and requested to proceed immediately with the neces-

sary preparations for the expedition.

5. That the thanks of the meeting be gratefully tendered to
the Governor, Deputy-Governor, and Committee of the Hud_

son's Bay Company, for the liberality and promptitude with

which, entering into the views of the promoters of the expedi-
tion, they consented gratuitously to furnish a certain portion
of the supplies necessary for it. Also to Dr. Richardson, who
sketched the plan of a similar expedition, on which the present
_ _

• •
one is founded, volunteered to conduct it, and still favours this

enterprise with his assistance and advice. And to Captain
Back, who, with equal spirit and disinterestedness, will head it
and devote two, perhaps three, years of his life to seek out his
friends and achieve some part of what they aimed at,
6. That the thanks of this: meeting be also gratefully ten_
. dered to the Right Hon. Viscount Goderich, Principal Secre-
tary of State for the Colonies, and to Robert W. Hay, Esq.,
Under Secretary for the same, for the interest which they have
uniformly evinced for the undertaking, and for the important
assistance which they have rendered in bringing it to its pre-
sent advanced state of maturity.
7. That these resolutions be advertised in such newspapers
as the committee of subscribers shall think proper to direct,
and be otherwise circulated at their discretion.

CHEVY CHASE.—The battle of OtterbOUrne,
which is generally supposed to have given rise to this
famous old ballad, forms the basis of the forthcoming new
romance. The borderers of England and Scotland were,
it is well known, a sturdy and ungovernable race, per-
petually engaged in making inroads upon each other, and
were, during national times, perpetrating deeds as wild as
the hilly region they inhabited. Among the powerful
houses which furnished chieftains for these perennial war-
riors, we may reckon the PERCYS and the NEVILLES, on
the one side ; and the DOUCLASES and the DUNBARS, on
the other. Much expectation is excited respecting this
work, as the author, a Northumbrian, is well acquainted
with the wild legends and traditions of this singularly
romantic country.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, WEDNES.
DAY, OCT. 31.—The transactions in the cotton-market to-
day amount to about 2,000 bales, of which 600 are Bra-
zils, in Pernams at 9N. to 9V. ; Bahias, 7V. to 81d. ;
Illaranhams, at 9d. ; and 1,200 in American descriptions,
from 6-ad. to 7id.

The little stingy Dean, the friend and protege
of GIFFORD, whom he describes, in that "biting satire,"
The Buviad, as wearing.
A thread-bare coat, and forty pounds a year,"
is quite in a rage at the appointment of the Ecclesiastical
Commission for inquiring into the amount of the revenues
of the Church, the pluralities of livings, and the income
arising from each. Tbis Very Reverend Dean, who
would have remained in obscurity but for the incessant
applications of his school-fellow, GIFFORD, to Lord LIVER-
POOL and to CANNING, was, we understand, promised a
Bishopric by the former. The See proposed to him was
St. Asaph but the cunning Dean refused the situation
unless the Deanry of St. Paul's and a large living in the
neighbourhood of Oxford were appended to it. In the
midst of these clerical negotiations, Lord LivEaroor. was
struck with the palsy, and GIFFORD died : so that the
pious Dean must remain where he is, with his pluralities,
and many thousand pounds a year resulting from them,
until Parliament terminates these foul abuses. The Dean
continues to roll about in his carriage, with, it is said,
fifty or sixty thousand pounds in the Bank of England.
