ic, t,_wo,of' these machines for extinguishing
fire.
we had the. privilege of examining them
yesterday. They are about the size of an
ordinary ‘coal scuttle, made of sheet iron,
composed of a number of cylindricail cases
within one another, weighing about 20
pounds, and easily handled by any person.
The means of destroying flame is by the
production of a gaseous vapor, although an-
ti combustive yet not anti respiratory, which
is poured upon the fire. The real cause of
the fire being extinguished is not by crea
ting a new atmosphere, but we believe by
reducing the temperature of the flame to a
pointat which it cannot exist: this is accom-
plishudby a chemical comhinatign of subs-
tances within the machine, which are
brought in contact when wanted by means
of a simple spring, which Creates the vapor,
and this is intro(_lu'cied to the flame through
the spout of this machine by the person hol-
ding it. Each machine will give 1200 cu-
bic feet of gas. ,
This discovciy was made by Mr Phillips,
of-London,who was first led to prosecute his
researches by observing that the vapor which
issued from a valcano, during an eruption,
extinguished flame the moment it came in
contact with it.

ted south, and in Nov, 1850, entered Lan-
caster Sound. The cold was intense ; ther-
mometer far below zero, and the coffee and
soup are said to have frozen immediately,
upon being-‘taken from the fire. They were
attacked by scurvy, but by the attention of
Dr. Kane, werecured. In June, 1851., they
emerged from the ice, having drifted, in nine
months, one thousand and sixty miles, in ice.
After this, Capt. De Haven, determined not
to relinquish the search, turned again to the
north, and upon reaching the Region ofUp-
per Melville, he was again hemmed in by
the ice, from which he was not liberated till
the 19th of August At this season of the
year, it was impossible for him to proceed,
and he was compelled to return. Dr. Kane,
the Surgeon ofthe expidition, thinks, after
seeing Regents’ inlet, and the resources of
shore, that Sir John Franklin and his crew
are yet alive. The Advance brought home
the relics of Sir John’s visit to the place
where three of his men were buried. We
give below the letter sent to England to
which we referred last week.
DAVIS STRAITS, July 24, 1851.
Mt’ Loans :-May it please your Lord-
ships to receive at my hands the inclosad
testimony, received on the 12th of July, of
the American searching vessels, of the
account oftlieir voyage in search ofSirJolin
Franklin. On the 13th of September, 1850,
they left all the searching at Cape Martyrs,
Cornwallis Island, they not being enabled
to pursue any further westward direction
from that date. A ‘harbor called the Assist-
ant Harbor, discovered by Captain Ominou-
ncy, three milas south of Cape Martyrs, was
the place in selection by them to winter in.
The bay ice was forming very strong at that
time, yet the Advance and Rescue were do-
termincd to proceed hoinewards ; but unfor-
tunately, however, a gale sprang up and
drove them up Wellington Channel 50 miles,
and afterward they were frozen in. The
American Capt. De Haven told me that the
Winter was very mild, and that he can give
no further particulars respecting Sir John
l.*‘rankliu than the incloscd account. He
said he was determined to go to the seat of
search again, after havin,'_r Wintercd : and all
the documents received from the Admiralty
and others I gave to him.
i\li3itioaA.\D.«..-—l. On the 27:11 of August,
1850, traces were found to northward of
Port Innis, l-Velington Chaniiel, confirming
those previously found at Cape Riley by Cup-
tain Oinmianticy. These consisted .0f litig-
ments of clothing, preserved meat tins, and
scraps of papers, one of these bearing the
name of :‘s1‘Domild,mcdicaloflicerin the ex-
pcdition.
2. On the 27th, Capt. .Penny’s party re-
ported graves. These were at once visited
by Captain De Haven, Mr. Penny and Dr.
Kane. They bore respectively the names of
W. Braine,'R. M. and John l-larfncll of the
Ercbus. and John Torringfon, of the Terror,
the date ofthc latest death being the 3:] of
April, 1846. Added to these sad but unmis-
takeable evidences, were the remains of the
observatory, carpenters’ shop and armorers’
forge. Upon the hill-side and beach. were
fraginentsof wood, metal and clothing’ with
stacks of empty meat tins. Every thing in-
dicated permanency and orgaiiization. There
can be no doubt that the cove between Cape
Riley and Bcecby island, facing Lancaster
Sound, was the Winter station of the missing
vessels. On the 31s of September the im-
pervious ice of the Wellington Channel un-
derwent a coniplcte disruption, and by the
6th several vessels penetrated to Cornwallis
side. Such however, was the impenetrable
chaacter of the pack in Lancaster Sound
that by the 10th of September the entire
senrcliing squadron were again concentrated
about 8 miles south of Gri(litlt’s Island -
This was the furtheiest west attained by the
Am erican expedition. 'l'he,latest dates from
Commodore Austin are of the l3'.h ofSept.
They were then in momentary expecta
tion ofmalciog _\Vintci' quarters, and it is
probable that a small harbor, discovered by
.Capt. Ommanney, about three miles east of
Thence the American vessels, while proceed-
ing lioinewarrl, were frozen in opposite Wel-
lington Channel, drifting during the ensuing
\Vinter from a latitude of 7525 throughout
the channel and sound to Baflin’s Bay.
Their liberation, after much exposure and
trial, took place on the l0tli of June, I851, at
a point south of Cape Walsingliam 65 30—a
linear drift exceeding 1,050 miles. The com-
motion of the ice, with iis attendant uncer.
tairify, was their chief source““oftrial. Every
officer and man had a marked scobutic disease,
but no deaths have occured. The crews are
now refreshed, and the ezpeditioa is endeav-
oring to regain the seat of search.
