will be found admirably adapted TO serve as cover
lids TO the men during the night. Mr. ShePherd
has supplied nearly wagon load OF balloons ior
the convey ance OF messages and every requisite
has been provided for printing the slips and dis
matching them. Should the wind prove favorable,
on arriving at the edge OF the ice, aerial messen.

other ship butt for navigating among ice.
Commander Philips left for Ayr on Friday Mays,
TO proceed with Captain Sir John Ross to the Arc

has been testing the peculiar non-conductng pro

. gle m.vessel, returned to Woolwich on Mon
day. the 9th, having left Capt Austins searching
expedition nearly opposite the Humber, at o'clock
A. NJ on Sunday morning, the whole of the officers
and crews in the best health and spirits. Captain
Austin had also the pleasing intelligence to COM
tnunicate that every man Of the crews of the four
vessels Of tho Arctic Expedition was not only
present at his post on Saturday morning when the
vessel started, but there not one who had got
drunk after being paid in advance on the previous
day. a circumstance which speaks highly for the
discretion of those who selected the crews and for
the good sense and steadiness of the whole Of the
men.
Application has been made, on the part Of the
agent TO Lady Franklin, for the vessel, which she
has purchased and manned to assist in tho search
after Sir John Franklin, to be supplied with stores
