The Artic Search.


The public mind can hardly have been prepared
for the closing scene in the drama of Arctic search
1t is with pain that we are under the necessity of
announcing not only the return of Sir EDWARD
BELCHER but the fact that he has abandoned, while
they were yet uniniured and available for further
service the four fine vessels placed under his COM
mand and what is of far higher import that he
has left the gallant CoLLrNsON to effect his own re-
treat.
1t is to be presumed that Sir EDWARD BELcHER
will fully explain his proceedings as respects his
own search for poor FRANKLINs S party; and We con-
ceive that the public will claim also to be fully in
formed why her Majesty's ships have been thus
abandoned in the face of instructions laid before
the House of Commons and conveyed to Sir E. BEL
CHER by the Phoenix in the present Summer
These instruction. if they did not positively require
extended search on behalf of FRANKLIN's parties,
most unmistakably enjoined such measures as might
secure the safety of Captain CoLLINsONs, for the
accomplishment of which the amplest means were
placed at the disposal of Sir f. BELcHER, and in
pursuance of which he was further instructed to
consult with the very able officers who accompanied
him. Rumor is already busy, and it is said that
Sir E. BELCHERs return to England is to be follow
ed by courtsmartial and inquiries into disputes
with his officers. 1t is not, trust, owing to
causes so ignoble these that the public service
has suffered and the claims of humanity been sacri
feed
Once more we NAV invite attention to the consola-
tory absence ofa disaster in the returning Arctic
Expedition or mortality reaching even to the usu-
al average and again, too, may be reiterated that
the case of the franklin Expedition remains unaf-
fected, except negatively. We do know that our
missing countrymen have not been thrown upon the
northwestern.shores of Melville Island but we re-
main in doubt whether, after passing up Yelling
ton Channel their course was not directed to the
unsearched lands then in sight, rather than towards
the nothern shore Of Melville Island. tits, there
fore, upon the ZEAL ability, and single mindedness
of Dr. Kane, in command of the American Expedi-
ton, that we now mainly depend, since his intend
ed course after passing up Smith Sound will be to-
wards the unexplored lands seen by Sir E. BEL
cHER's expedition, lying to the north of Yelling
ton Channel.
