Q.: FENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID DYE,
patronised by thousands for upwards of twenty years, is the
only article extant which effectually changes in a few minutes with-
out trouble, red er gray hair, whiskers, &c., to a dark brown or
black, by simply applying it with a comb. While other dyes destroy
the Mir by their pernielous properties, this liquid promotes its
growth. Persons who have been deceived by preparations which
have a horrible stench (dangerous to the head), &c., will find
Spencer's Chinese Liquid Hair Dye agreeable in every respect, and
that " none but itself can be its parallel." Price 3s. 6d., 65., and
les. per lot le.
To be had of Messrs. SPENCER and Co., 29, Nottingham-place,

HAIR NOURISHED, BEAUTIFIED, AND RESTORED.
SPENCER'S CELEBRATED RUSSIA. FLUID.

This inestimable compound is unequalled for preserving and re-
producing the human Hair, even at the latest period of life, prevent-
ing it from turning grey, freeing it frost dandruff, rendering it soft,
silky, elastic and curly, so that heat, damp, nor continued exercise
will in the least destroy its splendid appearance, and imparting a
delightful perfume. It is invaluable for children, as it lays the foun-
dation of an excellent head of hair; promotes the growth of Whiskers,
Eyebrows, &c. Price ls. 6d. and 4s. per Bottle.
It may be obtained of the Love repectable Shopkeepers.

THE POET'S PROPHECY

Ido not want to imitate old Moore, _
Who often tried the,lntiir.
never nandie matters of chronology
By means of signs connected with astrology.
Far more I know of waistcoats, coats, and breeches,
Than fortnne-tellers, almanacks, and witches.
Yet, notwithstanding this, my humble muse
Is half-inclined to tread in Murphy's shoes,
By telling you the reasons she has got
For thinking winter will be hard er not.
Judging from signs, I do not think I'm wrong
In saying winter will be hard and long.
I fancy that the snowdrop's slender leaf
Shows certain signs that winter won't be brief;
The crocus and the hyacinth as well
The self-same story of the winter tell ;
And there is something in the robin's note
Which indicates that warmth is far remote.
Now, if you think I'm right in such a guess,
A warning take, and look to winter dress.
Moses and Son's warm coats you must regard,
If winter's mason's to be long and hard.
No opportunity have Moses' lost
•
In making preparation for the frost.
The trading bard's prediction, kindly meant,
Should lead to Moses' famed establishment,
Where winter dress for moderate price is sold,
Adapted to the bard's predicted cold.

If you aro in want gof that beautiful adornment of the human
figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any Ar.,s7let, or perfumer, an
nettle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an - essential
spirit, drawn fr.)rn aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
bary, Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read In his
pamphlet, in which-the bottles are enclosed.
- Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstonc, Merchant,
Herlotry, Highgate, and will be found at page 11, un.ser the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the "Times" newspaper, 7th
of August, 1846.
This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two
post age stamps.
The AroniBtic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving a post-office Order for 4s. 6d., 7s. tld., or' 125., which in-
eludes the postage with the case.
The Ils. size contains four of the 4s.
A few of its'matty viltues, as thousands can prove, are published
In the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle.

Reader, reflect fir a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age,
you will remember the thousands of blind you meet with in your
walks, others with 'various coloured eye-shades ; Indeed, such was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same)? I'll tell you the cause
—the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, CatarAct, Nervous Headach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, G 7
cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an act of
oppression; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq.,
altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of
the letter of proteetion; signed by -- Herries, Fsq., to
rimstene, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was

(Continued from The Sun of yesterday.)
Her Majesty's Discovery ship Plover, Choris-
reninsulo, Kotz-bui-sound, Sept. 25, 1849.
(Received January 21, 1850.)
Sir,—Having had no opportunity of communicating
with Great Britain since my last report t.) my Lords
Commissioners of the Admiralty, dated August, 1848,
at Woahu (Sandwich Llands), I have the honour t) ac-
'paint you, f their Lordships' information, with the
gmeeral proceedings of her Majesty's ship under my
command up to this period.
After filing up water and laying in a stock of fresh
provisions, vegetables, etc., I sailed from Woahu (Aug.
25, 1848) with the N E trade wind, which I carried
pretty steadily till the 3,1 of September, at which time
I ha l reached the parallel of 36 deg. N., and 171 dcg.
W. From this date I continued, to hold a course to the

S.W. (though much impeded by northerly winds), in
order that, in the event f meeting westerly winds, ai
I had been led to expect, I might have the passage
through the Aleut;an Islands•under my. le-, On the
27th of Sertmber I had the satisraetion of knowing, by
the ship's reckoning that I had passed the latitude o!
Attu, the westernmost island of this group, though from
the prevailing cloudy and foggy weather no iridiCation
of my approach to land could -be observed„ beyond a
slight discoloured appearance of the tea, which had
been first noticed on the 20th, on which day I com:

Inel-iced to sound, but found no tyittom till the sth of

October, in lat. 61 deg. 19 min. N. lon. 174 dog. 8

As I had now obtained soundings, and having observed
for a day or two past a bright yellow blink, extending
from N. to S.E. by E., I kept the deep sea lead con-

stantly going, which ny,‘, on the Bth (October), IT9
fttlionas, gradually ,410Fewing from that day till the

• [stand of St. Laurence—Was seen,-on the 13th.
From the 23d ofSeptmber 1 experienced n succes-

sion of variable and light' winds; with fn quent squalls
of moderate force, chitfly from N. W. and N.E., and oc-
casional calms, the weather being ftlmost Constantly thick
and cloudy, with frequent falls of rain, and subsequently
to the 3d of October, when the temperature .had fallen
_ _

, .
permanently below 40 deg. of Fahrenheit, sleet and snow

orevailed.

On the 13th the Island of St. Laurence was made out,

already covered with snow, causing its appearance to be
with difficulty reconciled with the delineations on the
Admiralty charts, those tf Behring's Straits, together
wit the "Sailing Dir‘ctions" forwarded by Admiral
Lutzke, through Captain Kellett, unfortunately not
having reached me. In the evening, whilst yet in the
passage, the wind again veered to N.F., and con-
tinued to blow from that quarter, increasing in force
during the night, and, notwithstanding the utmost
►igila'tce of the officers cf the watche, found on
the 16th .I was thirty miles to the southward of Lay posi-
tion on the previous day, being several miles tat eeward
of the South Cape (Asiatic shore) instead of weathering
Cape Chaplin, as I expected. Finding the vessel thus
totally unqualified to contend against an adverse wind

and a strong current setting to the south-west (which
had been felt in some considerable degree there several
dais past), I felt the necessity of :coking shelter under
the land, whilst still in my power, rather than remain at
Kea under such urfaourable circumstances. I accord-

ingly carne to at 7 20 A. DI. in a bay on the S.W. coast of
Siberia, ot en to the south and suit, at a distance of four

miles frOn; LL a land. in readiness to take immediate ad van-

sago of any favourable circumstances that might occur. Mr.
Henry Martin, second master, was dispatched to ex-
amine an indentation which I observed, having the ap-
pearance of a river, who, on his return, reported the
existence cf an extensive harbour, with safe anchorage,
protected from the sea by a long low spit. Ia the na( an-
time a number cf natives came off to the ship, from
whom I understood that I could conveniently procure a
supply of water near the anchorage reported by Mr.
Martin. I stood in on the following day, and anchored
at 9 45 P. M., in twenty fathoms water, tho wind being
still fresh at north-east.
On the 200, finding the direction and force of the

wind tO continue, the tem- peratareof the air to fall us

low as 23i deg. Fahrenheit, and the sea water to 28i
deg., I deemed it prudent to take the opinions of, the
officers as to whether an endeavour to proceed to the
northward should bs suede (these opinions I have the
honour to enclose), which I beg to state were strictly
in accordance with my own sentiments—viz , that it
would be better to remain in this secure harbour for the
winter than make a useless attempt to proceed north-
ward, with a prObabilitv cf being unable to regain my
advantageous position (from which I could send out over-
land expeditions), and on account of the advanced
season to lose the chance of wintering even in Petro-
paulski. I therefore determined that, should no
favourable change take place before the 26th, to select a
convenieat spot in which to place the ship for the winter.
On the 23d a still farther reduction of temperzture
took place; the upper part of the harbour was reported
fee zing over, and Avg() masses of ice forming during
the night about the ship, in consequence of which, after
a personal examination of an inner harbour possessing
many advantages, I removed thither ou the 24th, anchor-

fog three 161. at seve fathoms.
The harbour to which I had now removed commu-
nicated with the larger one by an opening a mile wide,
forming a basin four miles long, and ono accl a half in
bre sdth, surrounded on every side by lofty mount sine,
exc •pt to the southward, where it was separated from
the sea by a tract of low land, and an extensive lagoon,
and having deep water at the entrance and middle,
with good anchorage on each side close to the shore.
Oa the low land, at the south was a native settlement
a seven huts, to which belonged a large,herd of reindeer,
from which I hoped from time to time to obtain supplies
of fresh meat; considering it, however, safer for the
ship on account of the force and prevalence of the
north-east winds, as well as the probability of the
ice drifting, and on the whole batter to be at a little dis-
tance from a people whose friendly disposition was not
yet established, I remortd to the north-side of the har-
bour on the 25th, and there secured the ship for the
winter on the 29th (October).
From the 29th the people were'employed dismantling
the ship, leaving nothing but the lower rigging over
the mastheads, building a house of stones fur the con-
venience of working tt.e forge, drying clothes, &c., and
housing the ship in, all which was completed by the
Bth of November.

During this time ice was continually forming around,
and frequently broken up by rqnalls and strong north-
east winds, so that the ship was not finally frozen in
until the 18th, whoa the natives were first enabled to
visit us alongside the ship in their sledges, drawn
by dos.
It will now be necessary for me to inf)rm their Lord-
ships of the friendly intercourse I bad succeeded in es-
tablishing with the different tribes of natives near my
winter quatt3rs. They at first appeared to hesitate
about coming on board, but on making a few presents,
and allowing some traffic to bo carried on with them,
they gained confidence, at least so far as to enter the
ship readily when invited to do so, being careful on all
occasions to guard against treachery on their part, on ac-
count of the warlike and re'eatless character attached to
the people of these coasts by some authors.

During the months cf November and December the
ship was daily visitsd, not only by those in the vicinity,
but also by others from a distance along the coast and
inland, by my intercourse with whom I svas enabled to
satisfy myself that they were not only peaceful, but dis-
posed to be actively friendly toward myself and the
officers and men under my command. The first difficulty
was to gain some knowledge of the language, to which
all the officers applied themselves with surprising suc-
csas, so much so that in the sarly part of the year I was
enabled to send them in different directions with the
confident expectation that they would be able to make
successful inquiries as to whether any vesse's answering
to the description of her Majesty's ships Erebus and
Terror had visited any part of the coast, or been seen
during the past year by any of the natives.
On these expeditions every officer in the ship (except
Mr. Francis Lee, acting second mater, ice) took his
turr, displaying throughout a persevering energy in en-
during fatigue and hardship, as well as firmness and dis-
cream in their intercourse with the natives, which I
cannot sufficiently commend; which conduct I sincerely
trust will meet their Lordships' approbation and tend to
their future advancement.
Of those hardships I can confidently speak from my
own experience in travelling on several occasions on a
sledge in heavy snowdrifts, with the thermometer at 30
deg. below zero.
The following account of a party which left the ship
in February will bo ri ad with interest, I think:—
Having understood from the natives that there was to
be seen the remains of a vessel near East Cape, but the
time cf the ship's wreck I could not make out, to gain
more certain information of which I sent Mr. Wm. 11.
Hooper, acting mate; Mr. Henry Martin, second master;
and Mr. William 11. Moore, master's assistant, with two
naive guides who were familiar with that part of the
coast, and upon whom I could confidently depend,
giving them directions to proceed as far as they found
the natives friendly, and if practicable to cross the straits
and visit Kotzebue Sound, but on no account rashly ta
trust themselves among tribes with whom their guides
were not familiar, or were in every way doubtful of. On
the second day of their journey, when about fifty miles
from the ship, they were overtaken by a violent snow
st np, by which their progress was much impede 1, und,
from the thickness of the weather, all idea of the direction
in which they had travelled became lost, and at nightfall
the guides confessed they knew not where they were,
and that they must wait for clear weather, which
might be expected with the moonlight. On the second
dsy the guides were in some degree re-assured, and
again proceeded, but at night found themselves as igno-
rant of their position as ever, and a third day was passed
in the same mincer. On the fourth day Mr. Martin,
from the fact cf their having been for the greater part of
the time on the sea ice, having once only been on the
land, which th-y imperceptibly lost, judged that their
wandering l: ad been made in a circle of moderate ex-
tent proposed, from his knowledge of the coast in a pre-
vious journey, to attempt reaching the place they had
last left by the aid of his pocket compass, to which Mr.
Hooper readily agreed, and in the evening, when the
weather cleared a little, they had the happiness to find
that a merciful Providence had brought them out of
clifficultir.s when to every appearance they were cut
off from all hope. The slight view of the land they
obtained recovered their exhausted frames and stimu-

lilted them to fresh exertions, by which they gainei
Ung-wy-sack (Cape Chaplin on the charts) before dark-
ness set in.

It would be impossible for me to describe their suffer-
ings from cold, fatigue, and want of fire, with the snow
and drift finding its way beneath the folds of their gar-
ments, and there gradea!ly thawing, penetrated their
under clothes. Under these trying circumstances, to
add to their misfortune, Mr. Moore, on the second night
of their exposure, was seized with a violent bowel com-
plaint, which continued until the day they reached the
village, at which ho arrived literally more ch ad than
t:live. He had complained also of cold frac t, which were
now fjnnJ not frozen, but completely chilled as high as
the knew, which in the course of the night, by the kind
attentions of the nativee, were restored to their ❑atural
temperature, but many weeks elapsed be fore sensation
sod the power of voluntary motion were re-established
in the right foot and ankle. I received a letter from Mr.

Hooper by the hands of a trusty native, giving a detail
of their progress, and expressing a strong desire to be per-
mitted to proceed, b aving Mr. Moore to return to the ship
as soon as his strength would permit, which I granted,
eroding a further supply ef provi:iiuns, and providing f,,r
Al.r. Moore's immediate return to the ship. Messrs.
Hooper and Martin continued their journey as far as to
get a viewo f Erst Caps; beyond which they could not
ge, as [het ribes to which their guides belonged were at
feud with these further to the northward. I had the
pleasure of receiving them on board in good health, afar
an absence of six weeks, and by their account found that
so far as they wont the natives were friendly and oblig-
ing, from whom they gained the information that some
considerable time ago a vessel with one mast had been
seen on the coast, which was understood to have been
wrecked on the American side, where her stern frame is
stdl to be seen on the Leach.

Whilst these journeys were being rerformed the ob-
servations on.loardkand the duties of the ship were con-
dtwted by tieuomant William A. R. L^ll and the other

ofieers, under my own direcit superintendence; and at
it t,rvals Mr. Martin, assisted by Mr. Hooper, made a
i.tirvey of the place in which I had temred the ship for
the winter, which, connected with Mr. Martin's and my
own observations on the coast to, the westward, will, I
hone, give a tolerably correct representation of these
shores, and. when associated with magnetic observations
on every attainable point, will, I trust, meet their Lord-

approbation,
Among the internal arrangements of the ship, those
for the in.truction and vcrcation of the crew, according
to the example set by Captain Sir William Parry, were
not omitted, and I gladly availed myself of the proffered
sf,rvices of Mr. J. Simpson, nssistaot-surgeon, and Mr.
John J. Lindsay, clerk in charge, in conducting a school
for reading and writing, and getting up playb and mas-
querades for thf-ir a-nusement and pastime in the long
dreary nights of winter.
Soon aft-,r my arrival in Emma's Harbour (the name
which I have given to the place in which I wintered) I
was fortunate enough to procure a supply of reindeer's
flesh from the natives, and saw large herds of these gni-
._

inftls near the village, where I hoped to procure further
upplieP, and in this I was nct ultimately disappointed,
though the unwillingness of these people to harter large

quatitities at a time, and the dikatice to which they
were obliged to drive the flocks in search of pasturage
whilst the land appeared entirely covered with snow,
considerably reduced the quantities that might have been
under other circumstances obtained. Towards the month
of March, I therefore readily acceded to the wish of a
chie ; who had come from a great distance with the cel-
eriacs of twelve reindeer, in return for a skip's musket,
which I did not doubt their Lordships would approve of,
considering the advantage arising to the ship's company
by a change of diet.

In the beginning of April, finding that the sea edge of
tho ice began to break away, I set about fitting the ship
for iei, which was completed in the fine weather of that
im,nth, and on the 224 of May, when the floes had been
broken as tar as the f'teh of the sea would rey.th, I
deemed it necessary to commence cutting the chip out of
tha remaining portion, which appeared fixed by two op
polite points of land a mile and a quarter astern of the
ship. The ice was found from five to six feet thick, and

cubing out seemed a formidable operation for so small a
crew, but the officers and men set to work with such

alacrity, and carried on with such perseverance, that
notwithstanding ii,t;rruptions occasioned by snow-
rt ,rms, the work of cutting a canal of 2,000 yards in
length, was completed in 22 days, and on the 13th of
Juno 1 bad the pleasure of seeing the Plover released
from her icy cradle, and at anchor iu tho char water of
the harbour.

The ship being thus free, and thoroughly refitted, as
flr as my means would permit, and filled up with
water of excellent quality, my departure was delayed
by hpfiling winds aLd caltni, but on the 15th gained
the outer anchorage by towing, and taking ad-
vantage of the ebb tides. Here again I was
mortified to find the prevailing winds westerly and
and driving a heavy and close pack of ice iu on the
coast and outlet of the anchorage, which was rendered
the more annoying by receiving frequent reports from
the natives of two ships being off Cape Chaplin, on board
which they had not been allowed. Although I considered
it too early in the season to expect her Majesty's ship
Herald, I felt t`►e necessity of assuring myself ss to what
nation they might belong, and for thus purpose, as soon
as I discovered there was room for a boat to realm her
way between the coast and the pack, I sent Mr. Henry
Martin, second master, in the gig, to gain information
regarding them, by whose account I ascertained that one
ship, which he boarded at anchor, about 20 miles to the
northward of us. was the Tiger American whaler, Brew-
ster master, from China. Mr. Martin also reported that
the vessel had been detained by streams of ice in the
straits northwa-ds, but so far as he could observe the sea
urns clear between the Island of St. Laurence and the
main; that the other vessel seen was the Tiger's con-
sort, also a whaler, and that a heavy pack was set close
in shore, to the distance of 10 er 12 miles east of my pre-
sent anchorage, between which and the beach he fre-
quently found insufficient room for the boat's oars to pull
in clear water.

After several attempts to get the ship to sea, and hav-
ing personally examined the extent of the pack from the
top of a neighouring promontory, I was at length suc-
cessful, with a breeze at N.E., which drove the ice to
the distance of a mile off shore, in rounding the S.E.
cape, and anchored alongside the Tiger, on the south
side of Cape Chaplin, on the Ist of iuly. To guard
against delay in meeting the Herald I took the precau-
tion to purchase from the master of the Tiger some
bread and a small quantity of salt meat, which were of
superior quality and almost European prices.
The wind continued at N.E., varying from a light to
a red-topsail breeze, but by working in shore on the
west side, and anchoring occasionally, I was enabled to
get as far as the Bay of St. Laurence, but found the
vessel totally incapable of weathering East Cape whilst
the wind continued adverse. At this place I was de-
tained several days, but hal the good fortune to obtain
a supply of reindeer's flesh, and on the I lth of June I
sailed, favourable by W.S.W. breeze, which carried me
to Chamisso Island, Kotzebue Sound, where I anchored
on the 13th. Here I first got intelligence of the Herald
having visited the straits (September, 1848), and imme-
dively set about preparing the boats to start the first
favourable opportunity.
- - "

On the following morning I dispatched two boats
(pinnace and gig), Lieutenant William A. R. Lee in the
one, and Mr. William H. Hooper, acting mate, in the
other, victualled for 70 days, with instructions to Lieut.
Les to make the best of his way to the Mackenzie
River; but they had not got out of signal distance when
her Majesty's ship Herald hove in sight, and they were
recalled. On the 15th Lieutenant Pullen joined, and
Lieutenant Lee was discharged for passage to join the
Asia. Att-r receiving as much provisions as I could
conveniently stow, it was determined by Captain Kellett
and myself to proceed to Wainwright Inlet, from whence
the boats should' be again dispatched, examining the
coast as the ships passed up, for the purpose of finding
some secure winter quarter for the Plover, which
was accordingly done, and on the 17th left Kot-
zebue Sound, and ou the afternoon of the same day
were joined by Robert Shedden, Esq., in his schooner
yacht, the Nancy Dawson. Not finding any spot in
which to place this ship to the southward, we ar-
rived off Wainright Inlet on the 25th, and after exa-
mining it, and being satisfied she could not be got in,
the decked boats of the ships, with two whalers, were
sent away under the command of Lieutenant Pullen, ac-
companied by Mr. William 11. Hooper, acting mate, and
Mr. Henry Martin, second master. (A copy of my in-
structions to Lieutenant Pullen I have the honour to
enclose.) The two ships, with the Nancy Dawson,
weighed, and proceeded in company with the boats; and
it was my intention to have gone as far as Point Barrow
lied not the wind hauled round N.E., when we lost sight
of the boat] (26th). We then stood on to the north-
ward and westward till the following day, when we fell
in with the pack, and on the 27th observed an appear-
Miff/ of land, extending from N.W. by N. to N., and the
drift ice to be covered iu many parts with mud and shells.
Having now reached the latitude of 72 deg. 51 min. N.,
and 164 deg. 28 min. 30 sec. W., with the pack stretching
from N. W. to N.N.E,, without an opening to the north-
ward, and feeling satisfied we could not penetrate further
north to join the boats without hampering both vessels,
we determined to return to Wainwright Inlet, re-examine
it, and try, if possible, to place the Plover there for the
winter, off which place we arrived on the 31st July.
the

from the fact that the
current setting to the N.E.
ship would do notlunn. T
time I saw no hope for her but thy, beach. I beg to call
and the wind lard from the .1.5. W.. for some considerable
their Lordships' perticular attention to my position, as
noted on the track chart for the time referred to. On
the 11th I arrived off Cape Lisburne, avhere it v al ap-
pointed the two ships should meet ; brit not finding her
here, proceeded on my way to Chamisao Island, as I did
not feel myself justified in keeping :this vessel on the
coast during the prevalence of the heavy S.W. winds.
On the following day, August 12, the-wind increased to
a gale from the westward, and it was only by carrying a
press of canvass that I was enabled to weather Point
Hope, and then with the loss of my port bower anchor
and a length of chain, which I was obliged to slip ; the

1--stopper and gear, sir-though new, being carried away by
a heavy so-s, which struck her on the bow.
On the afternoon of the 16th I arrived of Chemin°
Island, and I immediately commenced to search for a
nook in which to put the ship, but regret to say I found
none which I considered safe for the winter, but deter-
mined to place her under the south side of Choris Penin-
sula, as being the only spot, in my opinion, where she
could lay, which was accordingly done.
I now took advantage of the opportunity to send a
party to Eschollz' Bay, and succeeded in getting some
fossil teeth, horns, &e., but not as many or so large as I
should have liked to have presented their Lordships. If
no opportunity offers to enable me to send them, it is
my intention to keep them on board till my arrival in
England. I also took up the flour and beads buried by
Captain Beechy; the flour is in an excellent state o •
preservation—so much so as to be eatable. I beg to for.
ward a small keg fur their Lordships' inspection. The
thermometer buried on Puffin Island we were, unfortu-
nately, unable to find, having no directions as to the spot
where it lies.
I also formed a party and went up the Buckland
River to the distance of about 70 milee, where we wore
unf irtunately stopped by a strong rapid of about a
quarter of a mile lung. From the short time I was able
to spare on my visit I could do no more than establish a
most friendly feeling amongst the natives—so much so
that some of them have brought their families down to
Ketzebee Sound to be near us during the winter.
On the 28th of August the schooner yacht Nancy
Dawson, with her owner, Robert Shedden, Esq , arrived
with Mr. Martin, second master, with ono (if the
decked beats. Here I beg to say that I cannot sufficiently
thenk Mr. Shedden for his kindness and att.mtion on all
occasions to the boats of the expedition. Mr. Martin
reperts having left Lieutenant Pullen and Mr. Hooper,
rr.th the two whalers, about 50 mites to the eastward of
Point Barrow, and tiat they had every prospect and
hoped to be at the. Mackenzie in a few dsp. I am,
therefore, daily and anxiously
awaiting theirreturn.
Mr. Martin also reports that the water is excto lngly
i
shell= off and about Elson Bay, and that, although
the summer has been a most favourable one in every Te-
epee for a vessel coming through, yet the depth of
water nece3sary is wanting. This, together with. the
N.E. cur: cut, and the prevalence of S.W. winds. Mr,
dins the N.W. passage, in my opinion, decidedly unat-
tainable.

Althnugh every opportunity has beau aken advantage
of to pin it formation from the nat.vcs as to Eir John
Frankl►n and his party, I regret t) say that our labours
have ber'n, as yet, unsueeefsfAl; but I trust long ere this
reaches Lngland both he and his expedition will have
arrived.

Ibe to inform their Lordships that, as soon a 3 the
ice breaks up to admit cf my proceeding northward, I
shall do so, mahing my way back in sufficient time t
be at Charnisso when the Herald arrives.
I beg also to inform their Lordships that I am pro-
vided in every respect with provisions, slops, &c for
my v.•ho;e complement, up to the end cf July, 1850.
I have now, in conclusion, to express to their Lord-
ships how much I feel satisfied with the conduct and
unwearied exertion of ti.e officers and men under try
command; and I most earnestly beg to call the attention
of their Lordships more pat ticularly to the three
lowing officers—Mr. Henry Martin, second master; Mr.
W. H. Hooper, acting mate; and Mr. John J. Lindsay,
clerk in charge; anti trust their Lordships will grant
them the promotion they so much deserve.
1 have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
THOMAS E. L. Moor, Commander.
To the Secretary of the Admiralty, &c.
Her Majesty's brig Plover, Choris Peninsula.
Kotzebue Sound, Sept. 27, 1849.
Sir,—The time having arrived for the departure of
her Majesty'f, ship Herald for the southward I beg leave
to take advai tsge of this opportunity to call to the notice
of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty the ser-
vices of the several officers undermentioned, viz., Messrs.
Martin, Hooper, and Lindsay, and at the same time to
convey my opinion of the value I attach to their services
during the last sca.or.
The advantage derived from the exertions of Messrs.
Hooper and Martin, in performing the various overland
expeditions during the inclemency of such a season, I
feel sure their Lordships will appreciate, as well as the
equally praiseworthy exertions of the third officer named
above (Mr. John J. Lindsay, clerk in charge), in ac-
quiring a knowledge of the language as Isr as was prac-
ticable, which grt ally facilitatei the communication of
our diffn ent expeditions with the natives of the country,
and by which means much useful information was ob-
tained.
For the reasons I have above stated I feel confident
in placing these officers' conduct before you for their
Lordship' information, that they may receive the ad-
vancement to which lam sure their Lordships will admit
they are entitled.—l have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
T. E. L. MOORE, CoMMARdtr.
Captain Henry Kellett, C.Et., her Ma,:esty'a
ship Herald.

The first of the letters is dated July 17, 1849, and is
addressed by Commander Moore, of her 'Majesty's ship
Plover, then lying off Chamisso Island, to Captain Kel-
lett, of the Herald, lying off Care Kmsentem. It con-
tains the following proposals:—'Tat on arriving off Cape
Lisburn the decked boats of the Herald and hover, with
a whale boat, be hoist,d out, commanded by Lieutenant
Pullen and Mr. Martin, with a party of seven men in
each boat, including the ice master, victualled for thirty
de) s, and should explore the coast communicating with
the ships in the offing, when a sefficiently large inlet
should be tormedlor the ship to anchor in. On arriving
off Wainwright Inlet, should none be fiend southward,
two btat.a to be dispatched with seventy days' provisions,
with orders to proceed as far as prudent. In the event
of Wainwright Inlet proving unavailable, the ships to
remain oft' the packed ice till Sept. 2.5, when, if the boats
have already returned, they should sail to Chamisso
Island, and if not to St. Laurence Bay.
The following is Captain Kellett'a reply:—
