The lecture of Dr. E. K. Kane, at the_ Musical
Fund Hall, on the subject of the arctic Exploring
Expedition in Search of Sir John Franklin, was
attended by a very large and highly appreciative
audience, and was listened to by , all with evident
feelings of sincere satisfaction. Dr. Kane commene.
ed by saying that he ought, perhaps, to apologize
for coming before•euch an audience with R'Subjeet
no better prepared thin his was, for 1 was less to
impart new facts that the various pans of his lecture
bad been thrown together, than to claim sympathy
for the lost, and demonstrate the possibility of a
further search for them proving successful. It was
hard, he said, for those who were blessed with the
realization of springtime and summer, and a regu
lar sun decking the world in gaiety, to realize the
long unchanging night of the arctic zone ; and he
hail little hope of succeeding ir. picturing, even
faintly, to their minds, its trig' lily and its grandeur.
Directing the attention of the audience to maps he
had prepared, illustrating the position of the. chief
bays and inlets of the legion explored, he sketch
ed hurriedly their vast area, coast lines, &c., as
the extent of the rivers emptying into them, which
exceed in volume the Amazon, and elated the en.
trances to this vast archipelago to be first through
Behrinim straits, second from theAtlatilic, and thud
througn Baffin's Bay.
In all departmen.s of human labor results [mint.
seen were daily being achieve& and so also had it
been with reference m these explorations. With-.
out passingp discuss the important object to be
attained by the exploration of the arctic cegion, or
the earlier efforts towards it, is was sufficient in say
that Great Dwain always prominent if riot foremost
In enterprises of this character, determined upon
still further effort and the Erebus . and Terror were
accordingly fired nut, and Sir John Franklin select
ed to r °mutant( them. No better selection could
hive been made. His former vo) azt,es bail already
given to him a high character as an explorer, and
his fame waq not confined only to the eonrory of
his birth, but was as wide as the world which he
had berrefitied by his discoveries. He united, al.
so, to the perseverance and daring specially requir
ed for such an enterprise, many excellent traits
of character, and was still remembered among the
Indians as the white chief who would not kill a
mosquito. To for her illustrate, in some degree,
he character of Sir John Franklin, he cited his ex
ploration of the river Coppermine, and the many
perils and privations of Mat voyage—their sickness
and destitution—the thermometer many degrees
below tern—their rescue from many danders—'he
filial return, and the debt of gratitude to which they
were emitted.
Passing on to the sailing of Sir John Franklin.
in Nay, 1846, in the Erebus and Termr, for that
region from which he had tint returned, he spoke
again of the immense area, of :he seas explored,
and through which Sir John Franklin must pass,
equalling the whole of the U States east of the AL
leAenies, and said that these, although sometimes
nearly clear, were mare often lilled . with immense
masses and fields of flaming ice, which formel the
chief danger the adventurer tad to encounter.
Time passed, and when MP year 1850 had arriv
ed and these lost men haul been five years In the
ice, will scarrely a word of intellezence front them
from the outset, the civilized world rose in rhorr
behaft. Great Britain' lamented a worthy citisten ;
humanity every where felt for Lis fellows. As
most always happens, one daring, mind came for
a ant to concentrate and direct the eflurts prompt.
ed by a common feeling, towards a rescue of the
lost navigators. It was Lady Franklin, the wife of
the missing navigator, and who, while others doubt
ed,' kept her eyes constantly and hopefully turned
towards the frozen regions, expecting her liusband's
return, and by her devotion arousing a still deeper
interest in his fate. Great Britain, Denmaik, and
theiGneed States, all participated heartily iu these
One Ciii7.1.31 of the United Stales, a resident of
New York whose name is inscribed on the latthest
extremity of land yet discovered and recorded in
the Arctic region, Henry Grinnell, offered to fit out
art exped'tion for the search at his own expense,
asking only of Congress the permission to sail un
der the country's flag. The permission was grant.
ed in the true spirit in Which the appliration wa.
made, and the dlthiance and &sate were tutted lout
They set sail fromNete York on the 23J ol May,
1820: 25 days after they descried the rugged
mountains of Greenland, and in a very short time
thereafter were embedded in the ice of that tritzen
region The expedition liucily penetrated as tar
as Wellington Channel. and it was here they made
their first discovery. On the morning of the 27th
of August, when some how or other they had come
into close quarters with a part of the English expe.
diner' under Sir John Rosa, and while the officers
of the Advance were in conversation with Captain
Peony, a good named Seotchman named Andrew
rushed into their presence, hall oat of breath. ex •

would not attempt to describe the effect which this
annotincement prodtwerl, nor the tomulitions feel
ings it excited. They proceeded anxiously to the
place pointed out and lound there three graves, the
head boards mieked "Sacred to the memory of
Franklib's dead " The bodies were covered with
piles of stone, as their protection from wild beasts
acrd birds, for to dig in that region was impossible
hard lumen as the ground was to the depth of sev
eral feet. Upon one of:the tomb-stones was this
text, from Joshua : " Choose ye this day whom ye
will serve ;" upon another,—"Thus scnth the Lord rf
hosts, remitter your-wayi." Near one of the graves
was the carcass of a'fpx, and from one ear of the
skull sprang a email flower, an 4 this was the only,
evide -.ce of vegetation that marked the locality.
He then described the position of this point of land
Or beach, and the view ittoinmalided :of the Wet.'
.ling.on Channel, thirdiattint land tides and piled
masses of ice in some directions, and in others the
the'vague; vast, and unexplored regions to which
probability has assigned. Sir John Franklin's expe
dition. Upon the hill side twit to the graves was
the remains of a blacksmith shop, and mechanical
implements, while strewed in various directions
over an area of nearly tbreis mites, were numerous
empty meat cans, fragments of wood and metal,
pieces of clothing, and other evidence of unknown
humanity. The newest of the graves bore the date
cf April, 1816, and it was evident that iw the bay
before them now called Franklin's Bay, the missing
expedition had passed the winter. But there was
not the rdightest record or other evidence of his de
panure to be found, although it was the custom of
all Arctic voyagers to leave some such evidence of
record in 'some conspicuow4 place. They searched
very where, but nothing could be found.
But, the lecturer continaed, mysterious as had ;
been the departure ofSir John Franklin trotn this
point, Providence had ordained that we should fol
low in his footsteps. in a fe'vr days alter this dis
covery we were Irozen in at the mouth of this chan
nel, and drifted rapidly North. He described in
detail the motion of the vessel timing this drift,
which was such as to prevent fire on board—the
therrriomeier being many degrees below zero, and
ice forming on the table as they set at their simple
meals They &died in this mxnner to latitntle
75 0 2Y, the highest point ever attained by keel of
Christian ship, of Which there is record, and the
highest point of .land they descried, they named
"Grinnell's Land," after the patron of the enter
prise. They were borne along like tiny specks up
on a vast floating raft, incapable ofresimance, and s
even without ihe poor consolation of leaving on
the chilly discernable shore some record of their
position and course. They spoke little to one
another. but their thoughts were nevertheless busy
Where lies FiUtiklitt's expedition gone? May it
not be possible that we are to be (billed in the same
dir ec t i on ? Such and other like queries were ever
preseri! to their minds and now, he continued of
ter sortie further remarks, may not the same wind
whicircarritid us to this point have blown upon
him a few days longer, and carried his vessel into
nn open sea, of the 'existence of which there is
abundant reason to believe, and from which it may
be impossible for them unaided to return. He re-'
garile,l this as having been Sir John Franklin's
course. and said it was now six years since he had
passed the recorded frontier of this world. The
impointio question that presents itself was the pos.
sthilry of his having cur vived. Ho believed with
mart others that Sir John Franklin did still survive
—Tint ice which destroyed the vessels in these re
gions, slwitya proved the refuge of the crews, and
it was a little remarkable that seldom, ifever, was
both a vessel and the crew lost. In the great des.
itucti,iii of vessels in 1832, when a large number
ol ve-sr'ls were destroyed, treacly 1,000 men were
thus lir own upon the tee, am] out of the whole
9tont.or only seven perished. Moreover, vessels
genet:,:ly avoid the same proximity, so as to avoid
the s.i:lie danger, lie did not think, therefore, that
the brims and Terror were both destroyed with
their crews ; for if the vessels even were destroy
ed their crews mitt still survive. He spoke of
the it...mimes of the region aril the means of ens
mining life, and again declared his belief that there
still a. 1.. hope' High as they were to the North,
the tit': leer went still farther. there was also an
abendance of etwl. In four days the united vessels
sat ivietity.two polar bears. and without special
eller or pursuit of them, succeeded in killing four.
Titer(' are, beside these, an abundance of foxes and
hates ; and on the w hole, he had rather take his
chances orsupporting solitary life unaided in the
Polar :.one, than in the center of civilized Europe
Another question was, can Europeans resist the ef
fects of the climate of this region, the scurvy, &i 7,
lie sail the evidence was that Europeans have
resisted it, and he cited the European residents
of Spitzbergen, where for many years they have .
lived in hots and 'subsisted Upon the flesh of the
P.ilar hears, the walrus and seals. He had 'seen
aso far within the A.e t- i gior, an old Dane, Who
for sixty nut of eighty years, had lived in sight of
snow, and excepting the brown bread of the Baltic
had lived mainly upon the flesh of the seal and
deer; He cite] the endurance of Sir John Rose, in
nits of his expeditions, and the fact that when res
cued, he hid traveled over nine hundred miles
Into these statements he compressed his ideas,
tl.ki 'either search for the lost expe lition was not
one of those thinga which a sound argument should
reject. He then again revertei o his former view'
that a few hours more, perhaps; of the wind which
carried them to the extreme North, may have car
ried Sir John Franklin's expedition into a farther
region and into currents out of which unaided there
was no escape, and tin means of communication
with other voyagers who may not pass into that te•
BM
He then depicted, with great vividness and much
eloquence, the position of the two vessels in the im
mense field of ice, as they were, nn the lalal - 19e
camber, in the. centre of Lancaster Sound. We
shall riot aitempt.ni lollow him in hia delicate and
adistic limning It was a picture drawn with maa
tarty skill. nml presenting vividly in all, all the per
ils, arid sufferinga, and alarms of the Acrtic voyager
rite vessels, mere specks upon the field of ice—the
Rescue abandoned—the keel of the Advance lanai
seven or eight feet, causing fears that ahe migh
capsize—drifting at the rate often mites a day, and
towards an unkttaw,u reiSOß—daylight departed
and undeviating night-closed in around them—the
thermometer 40° below zero, or le below the

once one of extreme anfiering peal anti

fie presented to the mind the glaring, lanterns
from the Lech of theta?, at noonday and at mid•

meet, every variety of strange and familiar unite to
heard. Now, like the whining of a puppy : then,
like the calls of distress., and then, again like boom
ing cannon. The ice, generally, about five feet
thick, and much resembling glass, which before
was level, is now piled in ridges, and as the mass
es are forced upon each other, every variety of noise
increases. Now, low and plaintive ; now, shriek
ing wildly, gradually rising to a
. climax of fearful
intensity under which all language ceases, and then
dying away into the softest cadence—noises so
marked and oftentimes so regular, that they were
regarded and called the pulses, of the ice, and frum
these voices of the ice they were E.' enerally capable
of judging of its movements. Such is a taint sketch
of his picture of the polar y inter and its alarms,
until they entered Baffin's Bay. Stretched upon ti.e
ice in their buffalo robes, an officer calls upon them
to hasten np. The ice voices have been renewed
with tearful intensity, the air is tilted . with shrieks
and howls The lee is in great commotion. On
comes the crest. The crushed ice piled high b
the meeting of the flows, gradually nears the brig
—all feel the trembling motion—the vessel trem•
bles from the force of the continued shock, On it
came, now only six yards horn the verasel-.--no
word is onered—now three yards—now six feet
All wait with trembling lips, when suddenly the
noise arid motion cease. They wait for the move
ment to be renewed, but no renewal came, and fire
months afterwards that immense ridge was stilt
there, and the vessel also there, a monument of
God's protecting care and man's weakness.
He then, iu conclusion, recurred again to the idea
of an open sea to the Northward of Grinnell Land,
into which Sir John Franklin had found his way,
acil urged the probability that 3 or 400 miles of
further progress in that direction would have brought
them into it ; and shall it be, he asked, that these
300 miles shall defy the world It cannot be.—
The search was not yet done, and would not be
abandoned ; but they must now trust more to ener
gy and less to their vessels. Depots must be es
tablished at proper points, and the country around
searched by land .parties. This he believed was
clearly feasible, and he sled the explorations or
Lout. who performed a sledge trip of
upwards of 700 miles , earryi g his provisions. &c.,
with him. This view was forcing itself upon the
mil ds of all, and was g,eneraliy admitted among
the officers of the English expeditions. The posi
tion of Sir:Jahn Franklin had been nearly ascer
tained. It had been demonstrated that he had pro
ceeded to the North West and he (Dr. K ) believ
ed that there existed in that direction an open . sea,
'open the year round. lie took the grormil that all
search most hereaf er be on foot, and that the search
could not now be abandoned. The call for its con
tinuance :tomes out from the full heart of humanity.
One of the objects for its continuance—humanity's
object—was to ascertain the fate of these men, and
if they have perished, to record their names upon a
tomb. Glancing briefly at-the encouraging results
of the last two years, he said the object of Str Join;

The coffee plant is a nativeof Yemen, in Arabia;
the time of its introduction into Europe is unknown;
it is mentioned in a work, published in 1573, by a
German physician named L. Ran wolf!. The Tur ks
have coffee hoves, m which they meet to eip their
brown liquid, and chat toiether like Etqlr-hriten
in their alehouses. Coßee-tioums am common in
Germany. and were at one time more- common in
England than at the present moment.

of Turkey, named Edwards; ibis was in 1652
Coffee was in public use before that time in France
When Coffee was first introduced into Britain it
met with the most furious opposition trom old and
young, grave and gay, men and, women fair. to
1764, the women in England petitioned Patti iment
against allevring the use of coffee, in which petition
i' was stated, " that, men,"by its use, became Ike

The quality and effects of coffee differ according
to the manner iu which it is roasted. It must be
roasted with great care and, not nver-done. The
Turks toast it in an him spoon, and roast its jus
before they are gnin4 to u4o it. This is the best
plan, as coffee loses its flavor if exposed after being
roast. d. The reason of this is evident ; the roast
ing brings out he essential oil to the surf:tee. this is
volatile, and is the fie aromatic quality of tqe bean;
it therefore soon evaporates when exposed to the
atmosphere. To roast tollee arii;ht it should be
done by an invention patented a tow years ago in
England; it ron.ists in utsing a eTper drum, silver.

drum made to revolve above the fire, until the beaus
are done. It is best rot to nser-roasi them.
