ir 'ADY FRANKLIN'S FINAL SEARCH.—
.10-4 • The Government having come to the :con-
elusion that the, fate 'of the crews of her Majesty's ships
Erobui mid terr requires no further inVestigation on their
par ;;,"Lady Franklin, in accordande With her sense of what is
due to the lost navigators, is now fitting out an expedition at
her own cost. - , .
.ks a preliminary measure she senglit assistance, froni the
Admiralty . b.Y. asking for the loan of , the Arctic pip Reso-•
hite; *bleb had been restored in perfea -order to our Queen
by the 'American nation, and also for the 'gift (as granted in
her former private expeditions) of 'such stores froth her Ma-
je,qy'S dockyards as are available for this special service only.
ICompliance with these requests having been dzelined, Lady
Franklin is now devoting her whole fortune to this final
search ; and a large screw yacht (the Foi) lying at Aberdeen,
:has been purchased, which the distinguished Arctic officer
who has accepted the command of her (Capt iin IYI-cCiintosk,
R. N.) has pronounced to bo perfectly adapted to this em-
ployment.
. Not repeating the arguments we formerly made use of to
inducen the GoVernment :to undertake a final and exhaus-
tive search, we hold to the opinion that it is the duty of
Englishmen to examine th ,t limited area whence the traces
of our missing coun+rymen were derived, which, though
it lies to the south of well-searched tracts, and has been ap-
proache t by vessels that have returned without loss, has
never yet been explored.
Supported by the advice of those experienced Arctic sea-
men, in whom she has every reason to confide, Lady Franklin
makes this last effort to clear away.the Mystery that shrouds
the fate of her husband and his crews, and possibly to rescue
from their insulated icy abode among the Esquimaux some of
his yoUnger companions, who may still be prolonging a dreary
existence.

On such an occasion we, whose names are .hereunto sub-
scribed, feel confident that this our appeal will not remain
unanswered by the British people, who will, we doubt not,
tender to the Widow of the illustrious navigator that sym-
p4thy which his fame and her devotion must -call forth; and
will aid her in carrying_ out an enterprise involving, as we
believe; the honour of the nation. - '
• We earnestly, therefore; entreat our -countrymen to unite
with us in,contributing to this noble object.

TBE VOTE BY BALLOT.

Last evening an aggregate meeting of the friends
of the ballot was held at the King's Arms Hotel;
New Palace-yard, Westminster, preliminary to the
annual motion for the ballot to be made this even-
ing in the House of Commons.
. Among those present weiel-esMr. J. Locke, M P.,
Mr. Donald Nichol, to-r. Merry, M.P., Mr.
Coningbam, M.P., Mr. D lltryn, Mr. Phil-
lips, M.P., Mr. Berkeley, M.P., Mr. Wylde, M.P.,
Sir Charles Napier, M.P., Mr. Greer, M.P., Mr.
Milner Gibson, Mr. Serjeant Parry, Mr. 'Nichelay,
Mr. Sharman. Crawford. e
In the absence of Mr. George Wilson, of Man-
chester, who was to have taken the chair, but was
prevented by illness, Mr. Phillips, M.P., for Bury,
was called upon to preside.:
The CHAIRMAN said they were met to hear the
opinions of delegetee from. various parts of the
country upon the question of the ballot. He for
one entertained the opinion that the ballot was the
most important measure pr reform tlaey,,ceuld have.
(Hew, hear.) He earedAittle about'des extension:
of the suffrage, unless irrewo accompanied by t‘he
ballot. (Hear, hear.) -.Wll7tt :wag wantedsin. the
House of Commons ave.e.a falr and impart-al repre-
seutasion of the feelings of the people, and, from
r'various proceedings that had taken place at the
election before the last, and at the last e'eetion, he
believed, it, was becoming a very general opinion
that some measure—and nobody could devise a
better measure, he believed, than the , vote
by ballotse-should become, the law of the
land. (Loud cheers.) He, perhaps, stood
in a somewhat awkward position in presiding .on
that occasion, for he was hut a young member of
Parliament, and ten days hence he might possibly
cease. to be one. He could only say that it would
hive-Seved a great deal of trouble on his election
if the billet have been adopted, but though both
himself and his opponent would have agreed to this,
the law would not permit such a course to be fol-
lowed.
Mr. REES, mayor of Haverfordwest, and delegate
of that town, moved the first resolution—''That this
meeting, composed, of the electors and other per-
sons who took part in the late general elections,
looking to the accumulated evidence of the evils
inherent in the open voting system affordsd by the
intimidation, bribery, treating, and other undue
influences exerci-ed at such elections, desire to re-
cord their conviction, that without the vote by
ballot a full, fair, and free representation of the
people in Parliament can never be obtained."
Mr. S. HERTFORD (also of Haverfordwest), se-
conded the resolution, and in doing so felt he hal
a duty to perform to his fellow-townsmen, who
were strongly in favour of the ballot. However
they might be sneered at for attempting to procure
for a rower class than those who now po-sess it a
voice in the repre-sentation of the people and vote
by ballot; he felt they were entitled to it, and he
should cordially perform the wishes of the town he
represented in supporting the wisrees of the society.
Mr.•W. WILKES, •• from Carlisle, informe I the
meeting of the entire adhesion of the city of Car-
lisle-£o the cause of vote by barot ; not teat they
looked upon it as the beginning and end of all
reform, but as-being that without which no mea-
sure of 'reform' wciurcl be complete. He hoped the
varigius constituencies who had returned Literal
members to Parliament would take care that if
these members
..did not support Mr. Berkeley to-
Morrow evening, they should hear of it at the next
election.
Mr. M. GIBSON lose to address the meeting
amidst load applause. It appeared to him that the
tine for arguing the question of the ballet was
drawing to a close,
.and that the time had come
when it ought to be considered how thie questionS
was to be actually carded. Ho thought that to de-
cide-131)6n the course which should be taken with
the ...view of earryiog the ballot, was necessary to
wait until the result of D 1 e, B riseley's meriosr to-
morrow night. It api eared to biva (Mr. M: Gibson)
that if Mr. Berkeley has for le's supporters a large
majority of the Liberal party, the Liberal party
were entitled to go in a body to Lord Palmerston,
and tell him that he could not expect to be sup
ported as the Minister of the country by the Liberal
party, and that he and his Triends cannot be per-
' mitt ed to be at the head of public affairs wi h tee
support of the lib-oral party, unless they a, e pre-
pared to cwry out the principles of that party, and
of which the vo' e by ballot was one of the most
important. If Lord Palmerston believed those gen-
tlemen to be in earnest when they made the com-
munication, he (Mr. M G;hvik) said it was his
firm bslief that the ministers would gird up their
loins arid submit a prposal for vote by ballot to
Parliament. But if they thouelit they could get
the support of the whies and lberals without con-
ceding this measure, they cer:ainly would not make
the conce•sion. They wanted the support of the li-
berals ; the liberals wanted the bill. If they could
get the support of the liberals without granting
them what they required, why should they make
the concession ? He was not one of those who would
not have vote by ballot without an extension of the
suffrage—or, on the other hand, an extension of
the suffrage without the ballot. He separated the
two questions, and would have vote by balloteven
though he could not get au extension of the suffiage,
it appearing to him that, whether the number of
the constituents be few or large, a person who has
the right to give a free vote should have the power
of giving that vote, withoutehe danger of his pri-
vate interest being affected, according to his con-
scientious convictions. (Hear, hear.) Whether
you extend or ke'p the suffrage where it is, he said
give men the right of vo-,ing freely—do not plies
upon them the restriction that whenever they vote
for a member of Pasliatnent they shall be com-
pelled to publish that vote, wh-therthey will or
not to the whole world. de hoped the motion for
the ballot would be proceeded.with, and would not
be postponed on any consideration whatever.
Mr. BERKELEY, M.P., expressed his determina-
tion to persevere on the great question under con-
sideration. He was delighted to find that there
was a good deal of new blo id in the House of Com-
mons. He had seen with much sa'isfacrion that the
question of the ballot was more frequently brought
forward than any other question of reform, and he
had great hope that he should be well supported
to-morrow night. For himself, he had nothing to
say but that he had obstinately made up his mind
that, as long as be had health and strength, and he
represented the city of Bristol, he would stand by
the question of the ballot. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. Nrcnonsoer, of Australia, said he had been
mainly instrumental is procuring the adoption of
the ballot in Australia, where it was now univer-
sally adopted : and its working had been found to
be iu the highest degree satisfact irys
The resolution was carried nem. con.
Mr. S. CRAWFORD moved the second resolution
—" That this meeting has heard with great satis-
faction of the adoption of the ballot in the. British
colonies of Victoria, Tasmania, eead South Australia,
and of its triumphant and undoubted success in
those colonies, as well as in the kingdoms of Bel-
gium, Holland, and Sardinia, and this meeting
respectfully. urges the liberal members of the newly
elected House of Commons to use every influence
to induce Lord Palmerston to make the vote by
ballot part of his promised Reform Bill."
Captain SARGENT, from Bodmin, seconded the
motion.
Mr. WYLD, M.P., hoped that every constituency
iu the country would mark thwe members who, to-
morrow, should prefer a pageant and.a play to at-
tending to the real interests of the country. It
would no doubt be.said, a day or two hence, that
Mr. Berkeley had repeated his annual farce ; but
he (Mr. Wyld) knew that if some of the scenes of
misery resulting from the present system of voting
were witnessed, it would be admitted that the bal-
lot was necessary to prevent the recurrence of many
a septennial tragedy.
Mr. GREER, M.P. for Londonderry, expressed
strong approval of the ballot. He believed that
Mr. Berkeley and his followers would bein a mino-
rity to-morrow night, and that, therefore, nothing
would remain for them but to throw themselves
upon the country, and compel the constituencies to
put the screw upon their representatives. (Hear.)
He considered that without the ballot any measure
of reform would be little better than a farce. (Hear,
hear.)
Several other gentlemen, representing various
towns, addressed the meeting, and the resolution
was also carried.
A vote of confidence in the executive committee
of the Ballot Society, and pledging the meeting to
its support, was then passed.
A petition to Parliament praying for the ballot
was then adopted ; and a vote of thanks to the
chairman closed the proceedings.
