RATE AND PAYMENT OP INTEREST.

The rate of Interest since the establishment of the Company has
never been less than five per cent. per annum ; and it is confidently
anticipated that the same careful and judicious selection from secu-
rities of the description above mentioned will enable the Board of
Management to continue this rate to depositors.
The Interest is payable in January and July. on the amount stand•

ing in the name of,the depositor on thh 30th of June and 3,st of
December, and for the convenience of parties residing at a distance
may be received at the Branch Offices, or remitted through Country
Bankers.

LADY FRANKLIN'S FINAL SEARCH.—
The Government having come to the con-
clusion that the fate of the crews of her Majesty's ships
Erebus and Terror requires no further investigation on their
part, Lady Franklin, in accordance with her sense of what is
clue to the lost navigators, is now fitting out an expedition at
her own cost.

As a preliminary measure sNe sought assistance from the
Admiralty, by asking for the loan of the Arctic ship Reso-
lute, which bad been restored in perfect order to our Queer
by the American nation, and also for the gift (as granted in
her former private expeditions) of such stores from her Ma-
jesty's dockyards as are available for this special service only.
Compliance with these requests having been &dined, Lady
Franklin is now devoting her whole fortune to this final

arch ; and a large screw yacht (the Fox) lying at Aberdeen,
as been purchased, which the distinguished Arctic officer
who has accepted the command of her (Captain McClintock,
R.N.) has pronounced to be perfectly adapted to this em-
ployment.
Not repeating the atg,uments we formerly made use of to
induce the Government to undertake a final and exhaus-
tive search, we hold to the opinion that it is the duty of
Englishmen to examine tjpkt limited area whence the traces
of our missing countrymen were derived, which, though
it lies to the south of well-searched tracts, and has been ap-
proachel. 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 iey abode among the Esquimaux some of
his younger companions, who may still be prolonging a dreary
existence.

On such an occasion we, whose names aro 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-
pathy 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. _ _ _
