The Death Penalty has depended for
lis continuance, more upon false jndg-
men, Of Scripture than upon any general
belief df It's necessity. Men have upeld

in a communication to the London Mercantile Gazette,
that Lieut. PIN has met with but little encouragement
from the Russian Government in furtherance of his plan
Of prosecuting search for Sir JOHN FRANKLIN by the
way Of Siberia The imperial Government after having
taken the most lively interest in this in every former
effort the missing expedition had satisfied ITSELF
the unanimous report Of the persons who had most
studied the subject that the execution of the plan which
the noble and courageous devotion OF Lieut. PIN had led
him to conceive opposed by insurmountable obsta-
cles Under these circumstances the Emperor could not
consent to allow the life Of British officer to be pered
in vain but that STILL being DESTROYS of doing every thing
which might be possible, the imperial Government had
placed Lieut. PIN in communication with NJ Baer and
M Middendorf-the the explorer Of Nova Zembla,
the other Of Northern and Eastern Siberian the hope
that by some other plan additional chances might be OBJ
tanned Of procuring the desired tidngs. II is believed
however, that the plan must be abandoned.
