LADY FRANKLIN'S FINAL SEARCH.—
The Government having c-me to the con-

elusion that the fate of the crews of her Majesty's ship Erebus
and Terror. requires no further. investigation on their part,
Lady Franklin, in accordance with her sense of what is due
to the lost navigators, is now fitting out an expedition at her

•
own cost.
As a preliminary measure she sought assistance from the
Admiralty, by asking for the loan of the Arctic ship Resolute,
which had been restored in perfect order to our Queen by the
American nation, and also for the gift (as granted in her for-
mer private expeditions) of such stores from her Majesty's
dockyard as are available for this special service only.
Compliance with these requests having been declined, Lady
Franklin is now devoting her whole fortune to this final
search ; and a large screw yacht (the Fox) lying at Aberdeen,
has been' purchased, which the distinguished Arctic officer
who has accepted the command of her (Captain M'Clintock,
R.N.) has pronounced to be perfectly adapted to this employ-
ment.
Not repeating the arguments we formerly made use of to
induce the Government to undertake a final and exhaustive
search, wo hold to the opinion that it is the duty of English-
men to examine that limited area whence the traces of their
missing countrymen were derived, which, though it lies to the
south of well-searched tracts, and has been approached by
vessels that returned without loss, has never yet been ex-
plored. .

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 isolated 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 un-
answered by the British people, who will, we doubt not, ten-
der to the widow of the illustrious navigator that sympathy
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.
