The British Arctic Discovery Ship "Resolute

~NASs-S
The discovery ship, sent out by the English
/ Government, in search of Sir John Franklin
/ and which abandoned in The Arctic Regions
by her officers and crew, year two since, has
fallen into the hands of Yankee, Captain Bud
ington of New London,) and is expected at that
port daily. Captain Burlington was cruising for
whales In the Northern seas, when he fell in
with the Resolute, drifting. Giving his own
vessel in charge of the first mate. be went on
board with fifteen of his crew, to navigate her
home. His own vessel has reached New Lon
don, and the Resolute will soon follow, unless
Captain b. has concluded TO winter Oh the codst
Of Gaeenland.-The Chronicle says
when the two vessels parted company they
were in the latitude o. deg N-some two de-
grees south of the spot were the Resoute was
first found. The Besolute was a new vessel
when she left England, was built in the most
substantial manner and was excellentlv well
found. Though she had been abandoned about
a year when Capt. Burlington took possession of
her, her sails. rigging, and all of her appoint
ments were in good order, and she would with
out doubt make the passage here without delay.
When found by Captain BCdington, she was
at least one thousand miles from the spot where
she was abandoned by her officers and crew.
The George Henry had a hard time of ii after
leaving her consort, bat has arrived safe though
leaking badly. She lost her rudder in the ice
soon after parting with the Resolute, and there
being no carpenter on board, the Captain and
mate managed in about half day to make
rough substitute for one and have brought the
bark home with it, though it has been unship-
ped three or four times and left the baak at the
mercy of the waves for long intervals, which
greatly retarded the passage home. The officers
and crew certsiniy deserve great praise for their
spirit and perseverance"
Since writi-g the above, we learn from the
Chronicle that the Resolute arrived at New Lon
don this morning, where she is attracting much
attention, and is said to be a great curiousity-
being Just as she was fitted out. The Resolute
is about 500 tons burden,-and with cargo, Will
prove fortune to Capt. Burlington and his brave
sailors We shouldn't wonder if an eXamina-
ton of this visitor should induce quite rush 10
New London tomorrow.
