ships in some safe harbour before the winter sets in,
from whence you will dispatch such overland parties
as the means placed at your disposal will permit. On
the return of the open season of 1851 you will again
renew your search ; but it is our intention and direc-
tions that you shall return to England in the autumn
)f that year, unless some trace should be found of the
missing expedition which may lead you to believe that
a delay may contribute to their rescue, and which
may justify a deviation from our orders.
8. You are aware that this is not the only expedi-
tion fitting out or being dispatched with the same ob-
ject ; one sucb, under the command of Mr. Penny, of
Aberdeen, has already sailed for Davis' Straits, provi-
sioned as your own for a period of three years. We
furnish you with a copy of the instructions under
which he is acting, and we desire that you will ren•
der him any aid and assistance in your power, as
well as to any other expedition, either from this coun-
try, the United States of America, or from any bther
nation, so far as you may be able to do so without
risk of crippling the resources of the vessels under
your command.
_ _

9. You will take the utmost care in leaving me-
morials of your track in the usual manner, and in
every prominent place, and enjoin the same precau-
tion upon all the ships or land parties detached from
you or them.
10. You will keep your second in command well
informed of the instructions under which you are act-
ing, consulting with him on all points, and stating your
own views as to the best means of carrying them out,
so that no information may be wanting on his part, if
accident to yourself should cause him to succeed to the
command.

11. As soon as you reach the Whale Fish Islands,
to which rendezvous the Emma Eugenia transport
has already been dispatched, and that you have dis-
tributed the supplies taken on board that vessel, for
the use of the expedition, you will send her to Eng-
land, and you will also give orders to the master of
the North Star, should you fall in with that vessel, to
return home.

12. The several vessels thus placed under your
command have been fitted out under your own im-
mediate. superintendence, and with every attention to
the wants and requirements of the great enterprise
you bave volunteered to undertake. The officers in
command of a vessel composing it, and wno are
animated with the same ardour as yourself, have
been selected by you with our full concurrence, as to
their fitness for this particular service; all that could
be effected by the generous sympathies of your Queen
and your country has been done, and it only remains
for us to conclude our instructions, with an earnest
prayer that success may attend your exertions, and
that a good Providence may guide your councils, and
be your• Constant defender.

TIIE ALLEGED MURDER AT CLAPHAM.--NO clue,
up to the present moment, has been obtained to the perpe-
trators of this supposed murder and robbery. The statement
that several parties had been apprehended on suspicion of
being the guilty parties is not true; neither is it a fact that
the Commissioners of Police entrusted Dr. Fisher to assist
As
ilrm.
akJoihngnParrott in the analysis. The only gentleman who
an analysis in conjunction with Mr. Parrott is a
Mr. Shaw, who has made chloroform his study.. The re-
porter has seen Mr. Parrott, and is informed by that gentle-
man that the analysis has proved unsuccessful, and the cause
of death will remain in obscurity. At the inquest, on Mon-
day, a Mrs. Stevens will prove seeing the deceased let her
master out of the gate to go to church, and the pew-opener
will provt his presence there. Mr. Maddle's loss, beyond his
late wife's gold watch, and two or three rings, is very trifling ;
and he has had no plate since a robbery took place at a former
residence at Notting-hill, when a large amount was swept off
the sideboard in the middle of the day. A lad named Saun-
ders will alSo prove at the inquest, that between twelve and
one on Sunday he saw a man dressed in shabby black, who
corresponds with the description of a man who was loitering
at the rear of the house all the morning, come out the front
gate with a large bundle; and a woman coming from Wands-
worth met the same man on the brow of the bill, about half
a mile on the Wandsworth side of Mr. Maddle's house. He
was running, and seemed much excited Mr. Coleman, the
inspector of the district, and Messrs. Field and Smith, detec-
tive officers of police, have been day and night endeavouring
to elucidate this mysterious affair.— Sunday Paper.
EARLY LAMB.—A lamb of the half-breed was
last week slaught-red by Mr. Robert Lartmell, butcher, of
West, near Keswick, which weighed no less than 61b. per
quarter, although only seven weeks old. It was also bred
and fed by the same individual, and it is well knouln that
Mr. Cartmell's stock of sheep are second to Ilene in the
mountain district.—Carlisle Journal.
