many famous for arctic explorations, as
vce-admiral Sir Francis McClintock, who

in 1S4S and 1850 and commanded that of
1857; Sir Allen Young, who served under
McClintock in the Fox and has made two
expeditions in the Pandora; Sir Geo. Mares,
who commanded the Alert on her
previous visit to the Arctic region ten years
ago, and Commander Parr, who accom-
panied the same expedition and Mr.. Leigh
Smith, who in the last twelve years has made
twelve voyages to the north. Lieut.. Com
mander Chadwick and naval attachee OF
the American legation was present, also
Lieut.. Commander Goodrich, who takes the
Alert to America. Mr.. Lowell proposed
toast to the queen, the Earl of Northbrook
responding. He said the queen took deep
interest in the expedition in which the Alert
was to share, and had felt great pleasure in
authorizing the offer of the Alert to the
American government. A toast was then
proposed to the success of the expedition,
with which was coupled the health of Lieut..

THE BRITISH MARCH.
SUAKM, March 26.-The British infantry
encamped nine miles from Suakim, where
they remain for rest today. OF the
300 who fell out of the ranks yesterday over
come by the heat and burdens of the march
only four are in the hospital. The rest re-
turned to duty. There is no doubt but the
sickness will be renewed when the march
continues. 1t is hoped the cavalry will be
able to accomplish the object in view without
the necessity of requiring a cavalry march
to Tamanieb. The cavalry with fifty Arab
scouts have gone to-day to reconnoitre Ia
manieb. The troops bivouacked last night
in an oblong rectangle and slept il their ac
coutrements. Capt. Slade, of the recon-
Doisance party, galloped within 800 yards of
Tamanieb, but saw no rebels. If Tamanieb
is deserted it will be burned and the troops
will at once return to Suakim.
