The l.merican Searching EXPEDITION

ReliGf IN SIR Jain Franhlm's sgtety.
4 dispatch in yesterdays Sun stated
that on Tuesday the Advance, Capt
DE Haven, one ofthr vessels sent out by
Mr.. Henry Grinnell to search for Sit
John Franklin, arrived at the navy yard
Brooklyn, n. Y. The editor of the
New York Commercial has had an in.
tprylew with L. h. Kane, Esq, surgeon
to the expedition to whose courtesy he
is indebted for the following particulars:
1t will be remembered that the latest
previous intelligence from the American
vessels, the Rescue, and the Advanc e
was, on the 18th of September, 1850
received through the English papers
On that day they parted company with
the English squadron. as mentioned IN
the dispatches Of Capt. Henry. On the
same night they were frozen in at Wei.
lington channel. From that point com.
menced their Northern drift, and they
were carried up the channel to latitude
10 %, the greatest Northing everattain.
ed in that meridian.
From that latitude they commenced
drifting again to the south, and in No.
y vember, 1880, entered Lancaster Sound
During this time the violence of the
ice was so great that they could keep no
fires regularly lit on account of the mo.
ton Of the vessel. The mercury in the
thermometer fell below zero. The bed.
ding froze in every apartment, ant
even the coffee and soup become con-
scaled as soon as taken off the fire.
1t was at this time that the scurvv
broke out, attacking all the crews and
officers, Captain De Haven and DR..
Kane included. By drnt of assiduous
attention and constant vigilance, how.
ever, DR.. Kane succeeded in keeping
down the disease, and fortunately brought
them all through the diseas without 10.

toned this gratifying fact, would readily
believe that his attention to his charge
would be alike enthusiastic and unre
hitting.
Inc principal eruption in the ice, we
may here mention, occurred on the It'll
of November and the 9Th of December.
1850, and the 18th of January 1851, on
which latter day the expedition entered
BafTin's Bay. During their continuance
in this ice the vessels were lifted up by
the stern as high as six feet seven or
eight inches, with list to starboard of
two feet eight inches, the discomfort.
and inconv enience Of which may well
be imagined.
During this whole time also the men
had to have their knapsacks continually
prepared, as well as sleighs, &C., not

The GREAT Lock PICKER The Lon
don Builder gives this description of the
mode in which Mr.. Hobbs does his work:
H" applies lever to press the bolt in
backward direction, and then proceeds,
by means Of instruments previously
manufactured, to lift the tumblers of the
of the lock one by one, and retain them
in their right places. When the last
tumhler is lifted, the bolt flies back.
Thirty days were given to Mr.. Hobbs
for his attack on the Bramah, and to
make his instruments he was allowed
to take impressions of the key and the
tops of the wards. Day after day he
was shut up alone wish the lock, none
being permitted to enter the room while
he was at work; and, with the aid of
"thieves' wax" hinged mirror in the
key.holh, strong light, all sorts of odd
instruments. and his own great clever
