[From the London Literary Gazette} We congratulste the country on the happy return of one of the most memorable expeditions ever recorded in English ‘ory: expedition fortunate in every respect in the outfit provision made for its success ; in the intre- pidity and skill of its conduct throughout ; in the perfect accomplishment of ail its scientific objects ; in the con- tinued health and preservation of the human beings ex- poset to its perils and privations ; in the harmony which us never for @ moment been interrupted among officers and men by jeglousiesor misbehavior ; and, finally, in its auspicious arrival at home, aiter four years of brave and unweari d exertion, in satety, to be crowned with the re wards and honors so nobly carmed trom an admiring and grateful nation. Justly may Great Britain be proud of this achievment ; and sure we are that its glory will nut be felt by Britain alone, but be acknowledged by the whole civilized world; to which, os well a8 curselves, its interesting and important results in science belong. ‘he exemplary hu- manity and prudence o! Captain James Ross, Captain Cro- zier, and their gallant companions, iutrusted with the command and direction of the undertaking, are above ail praise, and the reciprocating steadiness and devotedness of the crewsef the two vessels are no less creditable to the national character. Three fine fellows were lost by accidentwithin the four years; but such was the effectual cure and managemenc bestowed during all that time, un der every circumstance of toil and danger, that the first natural death occurred at Rio, on the homeward voyage, aod the firet and only corpse was there committed to the earth. Highly as we must think of what has been done in other respects, the attention paid to the comfort and weltare of the men, and thus restoring them to their country in ro ust health and vigor, must, in our opinion, demand the warmest tribute of applause, and redound most signally to the honor of their leaders. But we will not detain our anxious readers any longer, by introductory remarks, from the account of the expedi tion, which we have the good fortune to be able to lay before them. ‘The Erebus, Captain James Ross, ond the Terror, Cap- tain Crozier, left England on the 29:h of September, 1839, and made observations at Madeira, Port Praya, St. Paul’s Rocks, and Trinidad On the iast day of January, 1840, the expedition reached St. Helena, Captain Ross having been desirous, in taking this course, todetermine the im- portant point of minimum magne tic intensity, and thena ture of the curve connecting these points in which that intensity is weakest. This ke accurately accomplished; that the large space of Atlantic ocean so traversed pot es the least magnetic intensity ot any like portion of the surfaceol the globe. The position of the Itne presumed to be proceeding towards the north, being thus rscertained, it will be casy in all future time to mark its progress, and establish a certain law upon the subject. (Vide Transoctions of the Royal Society for 1842) The position of the line of no-dip, or mognetic equator, was also determined, and fixed grounds laid {or subsequent observations of the chauges to which it may be liabie. ‘The magnetic observatory at St. Helena having been set on foot, and the officers and instruments landed, the expedition sailed forth February 8, and March 17 arrived at the Cape of Good Hope, where similar services were performed. A.scries ot daily experiments was made on the emperaiure and rpecitic gravi y of the sea, and the depths of 130, 300, 430, and 600 fathoms; and, at length, soundings at the bottom of the ocean were st uck by the plummet. From all which, the physical condition of this element will come to be better understood Aran. 3.—The Cape was lett behind, and the system of magnetic observation sedulously and zealously con- tinued, to connect the voyage with the observatories es- tablished in other parts of the world. Kergulen’s Land was reached on the 12th of May; and on the 29th (the day previously fixed for simultaneous observations) the mognetometric instruments were noted every two anda half minutes for twenty-four hours; and, fortunat ene of the magnetic storms which have beem notic various parts of Europe occurred, and its affecting the instruments as at Toronte, afforded complete proof ot the vast extent of magnetic influences pervading the eorth’s diameter with a velocity equal te light or electricity. Geological and geographical investigations were car- ried on here. Large fossil trees were iound in the lava, aud indicated the ign: origin of these islands. Ex- tensive seams of coal were also imbedded in the volcanic which may, with great benefit, be employed for the purpose of steam navigation in this quarter of the ree and be of immense importance to the commerce of india. Frast Yean.—From Hobart Town, Van Dieman’s Land, the expedition proceeded to Auckland Islands, and com pleted a perfect series of magnetic observations on the important term day of November, 1840, ‘The anticipatory attempts (I) of the American Lieut. Wilkes, and the French Commodore D'Urville, having become knownto our countrymen, Capt. Ross wisely used his discretionary pewranan tering his route from that originally intended. ‘fe accordingly directed his course for the utmost south, at about the 170th deg. of east longitude, by which the isodynamic oval and the point exactly between the two fociof greater magnetic intensity might be passed over and determined directly between the tracks of the Rus siau navigator Bellinghassen and our own illustrious Cook. Hethen proposed to steer 8. W. towards thepole, rather than attemptits approach directly from the north on the unsuccessiul footsteps of preceding voyagers. Qo the 12th of December he quitted Auckland Islands, touched at Campbell's Island, and, passing through na merous icebergs to the southward of 63 lat., made the Pack Edge, and entered the Antarctic circle on New Year's day, 1841 ‘Lhe Pack was not so formidable as re French and Americans; but 0 ga le circumstances prevented the ve from entering at the time. A gale from the northward blew them cff, end it was not until the 5th that they re- gained st, and 100 miles to the eastward, in lat. 6649S , and lon. 17416 E.; when, though the wind was blowing and the sea running high directly upon it, the entrance was achieved without the slightest injury to either ship. Alter advancing through it a few miles, they were able tomake their way to the southward h Comparative ease and saety. “Thick fogs, however, ensued, and with light winds, rendered their course more difficult as well as tedious; and constant snow showers impeded their operations, Whenever a glimpse could be obtained, they were, nevertheless, encouraged by seeing a strong water sky to the SE; and, on the morning of the 9th, after sail. ing above 200 miles through the Pack, they gained a per lectly clear sea, and bore away SW, for the mognetic pole. Jan. 11, lat. 70 47 8, and lon. 172 36 E, land was discov- ered at the distance of nearly 100 miles, directly in their course, and between them and the pole— the southernmost known land ever discovered, though somewhst nearly epproached by the Rus: sians twenty years ago. As these who accom pl this honor for their country approached, it ‘as seen to rise in lofty mountain peaks of trom 9,000 to 12,000 teet in heighth, entirely covered with eternal snow, and the g'aciers projecting {rom the vast mountain brows for many miles into the ocwan. By and by exposed patch- es of rock were visible; but the shore was so lined with bergs and pack ice, with a heavy swell wasaing over them, thata landing couid not be effected. They there. fore steered tothe SE, where were several small is! and on the 12th, Captain Ross landed, accompi y ind a number of officers of each ship, an ion ofthe country in the name of our gra: cious Queen Victoria. The island is composed altogethe of igneous rocks, ond lies in lat, 71 56 8, and lon 1717 The east coast of the main land tended to the south ward ; and the north took a northwesterly direction ; and Captain Ross resolved on penetrating as far as he could to the south, so that he might, if possible, pass beyond the magnetic pole, whichthe combined observations hadplaced at 76 8. nearly, and thence proceed westward till becom- pleted his circumnavigajion. They accordingly steered along this magnificent land ; and, on the 234 of January, reached 74 15 8.—the highest southern latitude that had ever een previously atiained ! Here strong southerly gales, thick fogs, and perpetual snow-storms, impeded them ; but they continued to ex amine the coast te the southward ; and onthe ath again landed on another island in lat. 76 88 , and lon. 163 12 E ; like the former, all of igneous rocks. On the 28th a moun- tain 12,400 feet above the level of the sea was seen, emit ting flame and smoke in grand profusion ; which splendid volcano received the appropriate name of Mount Erubus. Its position is lat. 77 32 8 , long. 1670%.; and an extinct crater to the eastward of it was named—theugh not quite so fitly—Mount ‘terror. (2) Continuing to follow the mainland in its southern trending, a bar of ice, stretching off from a prominent cape, and presenting a perpendicular face of about 150 feet far above the mast heads of the vessels, pect of further advance in that direct just discern beyond the tops of arange o tains tuwards the S8E. and in lat 79'S. This varrier they explored to the eastward, till, on the 22d of February, they reached lat. 78 48., the highest they were at any time able to attain; and en the 9h, having tracked its continuance to the longitude of 191 23 in lat. 73 §., a distance of more than 300 miles, their farther progress was stopped by heavy pack pres. sed closely ogainst it; and the narrow Jane through which they had hitherto found their way being now com. pletely covered by rapidly forming ice, nothing but the strong breeze which they fortunately had with them put it in their power to retrace their course At the distance of less than halfa mile they had soundings on a bed of soft bine mud, with 318 fathoms, The temperature was 20 degrees below the freezing point; and aught more here being impracticable, they bore away for the west- ward, ond again reached lat. 76 8, (that of the magnetic le,) on the 16th of February. They found the heavy ce partially drifted away, but its place supplied by more recently formed, through which they got a few milos nearer the pole—lat. 76 128 , and long. 164, the dip §8 40, and the variation 109 24 E—thus only 167 miles trom the pole. The nature of the coast rendered it impos sible to lay up the ships and endeavor to reach this inte resting point by land; but it is satisfactory to know that it was approached some hundreds of mites more nearly than ever it was before; and that from the multitude of ob servations made, in so many different directions, its posi tion can be determined with almost as much certainty as if the spot had been actually visited. The advanced period of the season in this high latitude now rendered return advisable; but yet they made another effort to land on the north part of the coast, which was de feated by the heavy packice. They found it terminate abruptly in lat. 7040 8., and long. 165 E., tending consi derably tothe southward of west, and presenting an im. mense space, occupied by a dense pack, so firmly cemen ted together by the newly-formed ice as to dety every at tempt to penetrate it. Tho whole southern lond thus traced extends from nearly the 70th to the 79th degree o} latitude, and wasgdistinguishedby the name of our belov sovereign. bet ‘ay trem hence layfnenr the chain of islands dis« necessarily close by the east ern extreme of those patches of land which Lieut. Wilkes has cailed * I'he Antarctic Continent,’ \d having reach. ed their latitude on the oth, they steered directly tor them, and at noon on the 6th, the ships being exactly over the centre of this mounta.n range, they could obtain no sound. ing with 600 fathoms of line; and, having traversed a space ef 40 miles m every direction from this spot, curing beau tiful clear weather, which extended their vision widely around, were obliged to coniess that this position, at least, of the pseudo antarctic continent, and the newrly 200 1 barrier represented to extend from it, have no stence. (3) Continuing to bear westward, the expedition approach: ed the place where Professor Guass supposed the magne- tic pole to be, which was proved by extended invest ga tion to be erroneous; and they then (April 4,) departed for Van Diemau’s Land No disense or casualty of any kind attended their first labors; and there was not ove individual in either ship on the sick list, Sir John Franktin,too—the estimable frie and aictic companion of Ross—was still at the opposit pole, ready to welcome and entertain kim. It wos, doubt: Jess, a happy meeting. epi Secoxp Yeax.—The magnetometers, kc , ogain sirict ly compared with those of the fixed observatory, the crews refreshed; the ships refitted, the gallant band agein proceeded with tueir arduous task. The expedition went to Sydney and the Bay ot Islands, in order to extend the maguectic observations, and finish meteorological and other philosophical experiments. These, at the antipodes of European observatories, and equally separated from each other, ure of much interest to science, and have de- cided the important question of the exact correspondence ofthe momentary magnetic perturbations. The pertur- bations at Van Dieman’s Land and New Zealand were found to be in exact accordance. ie Nor. 23, A841.—They sailed from the Bay of Islands, and, passing by the Chatham Islands, bore away to the eastward to examine the supposed position of the locus of greater magnetic intensity ; and, lavored with five wea- ther, obtained a series of observations which demonstra ted the error of the assigned position. They accordingly proceeded to the south, to resume the examination of the antarctic seas, Dec. 18.—In Jat, 62 28 S., and long. 146 57 W., they made the pack 800 miles farther north than before; which un expected obstruction showed that they were too early fur the season. They entered, however, and pursued their voyage for 300 miles, when it beceme so close that they could push the ships no more tothe southward. With untiring zeal und unfliaching fatigue of officers and men, it was #guin New Year’s day, 1842, before they could cross the antarclic circle. The immense brightness of the aky foreshowed them that they would sull have to en- counter vast bodirs of ice in that direction, whilst mors encouraging appearances held out inducement to try their fortune to tae westward. By January nineteen tiey had succeeded in reaching within a few mil of the open water, when a violent gale sprung up, and placed them in a situation of appalling jeopardy. ‘The rudder of the Erebus was shattered, and that of the Terror was soon aiter utterly destroyed; and violent shocks against the ice for twenty #1x hours as they rolled deeply among its heavy masses, severely tried their strength, and threatened their existence. On the 21st the gale ubated; and though driven back tar into, ead closely t by, the pack, they went to work te repair damages, and prepare for new efforts. Their condition was very helpless, and their vexation the greater, as the last days were fas: shortening, and the season drawing to a close. ‘They had, however, gone through the pack ina direct line 45) miles,and were more south than Cook or Belling: hausen had been able to reach in more favorable seasons. At leagtn, February 24, they cleared the pack in lat 67 28 §.,and lon 159 0K., after an imprisonment of 46 days in the “thick ribbed ice.” This was only 10 days carlier than they had been obliged to abandon their operations the year beiore; but they still advanced te see what could bedone They pursued their course to the southward, along the edge of the pack; but it was found to tend to westward across their course, which obliged them to stretch farther in that direction than was wished. A.con- tinuation of violent gales added more to their difticulti They fougat against every obstacle; and at midnight, ou the dand, they had the satisfaction to make tke great bar- Tier a few miles to th ard of the spot where their examination of last mass gradually diminishes, {rom its commencement at the foot ot Mount Erebus, where it is about 200 feet, to 160 fect at the eastern extreme, as far 08 could be seen. At the point now reached it wasturther di) ished to 107 feet, and broken into deep bays and low projections not above from 60 to 70 feet high. ‘Soundings in a bed of blue mud were obtained at 90 fathoms; which, together with the strong appearance of land gently rising in ridges to the height of several hundred feet, at a distance of 50 or 60 miles {rom the barrier, leaves litte doubt of the existence of an extensive country to the southward, but so entire), covered with perpetual ice as to conceal every concei ble feature of marked character to establish its positive existence. he barrier was, with astrong breeze, traced about 130 miles farther eastward than in the preceding year—but all beyond was fruitless, Captain Ross, therefore, re- traced his course, ard where he was before prevented by the weather and fogs, obtained two additional lines of magnetic determinations ut no great distance from the pole, by which its position can be still more accurately ascertained The anterctic circle wis again repassed, and another hozardous exterprize underiaken in these long dork nights, which confirmed the opinion regarding the non-existence of the supposed focus of magnetic force. Qa the 12th March, in @ heavy breeze, the ship» were driven into violent coll ith an extensive chain eberge, and the bowsprit,foretopmast, and some small er spars of the Erebus, were carried away end lost. The vessels were providentially preserved from being dashed to pieces; and the coolness, promptitude, and activity of their crews, were never more energetically displayed. A direct course was held to Cape Horn, as tar from the tracks of former navigators as possible; and in a heavy gale, Janes Angeley, quarter.master, fell overboard and was drowned—the oniy casualty during 136 days of ar. duous duty, and again without one man on the sick list. Provisions were supplied irom Rio de Jaueiro, and the ships were put in as complete condition to renew opera tious as the day they aailed from England. Timp Yrar.—On the morning of December 17th, 1842, the expedition sailed from the Falkland Islands, and on the 24:h saw the first icebergs, when nearly inthe latitude of Clarence Islands; and next day their progress was arrested by arather solid pack. ‘The 26th was spent inendeavoring to find out a penetrable part, and they were led to stand along its edge to the westward. Cap- tain Ross, being persuaded that the great extent of open water found by our late worthy friend, Captain Weddell, to the 74th degree of latitude, was produced by the pre: vailing westerly winds driving the ice away from some extensive shore, (probably the eastern side of Graham Land,) determined, if he could, to get hold of that coast, d penetrate to the southward and eastward, between its shores and the pack; and thus he hoped to arrive at the open part of the open sea found by Weddell, deeming it more desirable totrace the lond, extending 8.to 8 W. W.; but its shores were lined with so extraordiuar: accumulation of grounded icebers as to prevent ali ap- proach nearer than three or four miles. They had, there antarctic circle; and, bei fore, only to pass along an’ examine the coast as they could. The whole Jand, with the exception of two boli! projecting headlands near ita north extreme, was found to be entirely covered with snow or ice, which descended from the height of 4,000 or 3,000 feet into the sea, where, broken by the violence of the waves, it formed porpendi cular icy cliffs from twenty to thirty feet high, trom which the bergs already mentioned constantly broke a- way and grounded in the shallow water. Between them, the whirlpools, caused by a strong tide, were very troublesome, and several small islets, quite free from snow, were observed, extending to the south. ward from the farthest visible point of the land. A dense fog arose, and compelled the expedition to hau! off to the eastward, where they soon met with the western edgeofthe packs. On the evening of the 30th they again closed the land, and steered across the deep gulf to the extreme point ; butthe pack was close against its shores, and by the 4th, in latitude 644 S, the ships were beset, and drifted rapidly back to the northward. Next day they were extricated, and finally succeeded in landing on an is}and at the extreme of a deep inlet on the south side of the gulf, of which Captain Ross took possession in her Majesty’s name. This islend is of volcanic origin, and though not more than two miles in diameter, projects o rfectly formed crater to the height of 3500 feet above the evel of the sea. It liesin lut,6412 S.,andlon, 66 49 W. A magnificent table-topped mountain to the westward rises tothe height of 7000 feet, and the whole western Price Two Cents. and stood to the SE. and crossed the antarctic circle om Jat of March, in long 74 W. From judicious observations, Captain Ross now tried to penetrate to the southward in the meridian exactly between Bellinghausen’s and Wed- deli’s track, and consequently stood to the SW. Onthe 284, in lat, 68 34, and long 12.49 W., he was becalmed, and. seized the opportunity to try for soundings; but 4,000 fathoms of the line failed to reach the ground. ‘This great depth is against the probability of meeting with land near For some time, however, they persevered in an at- tempt to get farther to the south} but the ice was too strong forthem, and considerable danger was encoun- tered in a tempestuous gale, which lasted, without inter- ruption, during three days. The darkness of the nights and the number of icebergs seemed only to increase the confidence and courage of the men ; and the management of the ships was, throughout, most worthy of admiration. Atlength, on the 8th, the wind veered tothe e stward ; and, with hearts overflowing with gratitude to God for bis merciiul protection, when human efforts were all but u d unavailing, our brave fellows were in pafety, nd steering for the worth. It was not, however, till the lath, that they were relieved from the apprehension of being driven agaiust the still threatening pack. Ou the 17th they reached the latitute of Bouvet Island (64 19.) about 8 deg. tothe westward of the assigned pori- tiou; but they, like Cook, searched jor it in vain, and Cap- tain Ross concluces that Bouvet had been deceived by the form of an iceberg. The lust berg was seen on the 26th, in lat. 4738. and long. 10 51K; when bearing aw before a fair gale tor the Cape of Good Hope, where the expedition prosperously anchored on ihe 4th of April. Tn the third season, it will be thus seen, they did not penetrate co far as Weddell; yet the usual prevalence of easterly winds prevented the pack from dritiing uff shore, was the means of enabling them to reach the iat. of 714 8., on a meridian usually occupied by the pack when driven by the prevailing westerly winds {rom the east shore of Graham's Land, and extendang their researches that me- ridian (16 W.) 12 degrees of latitude beyond their prede- cessors, Cook, Bellinghausen and Biscoe. ‘The discovery and « xamination of a considerable extent of unknown coast, proving the insularity of those portions of land first discovered by Bransfieid in 1920; for years af- terwards frequented by our sealers in search ‘of their prey; and finaily, in 1839, seen by Admiral D'Urville, and called by him “ Louis Philippe’s Land,” cannot but be re- garded as important additions to our knowledge in those parts; which, though islands ot inconsiderable size,might have extended, and were supposed to extend, even to the ole. At the end of April, the Erebus and Terror left the Cape o{ Good Hope, and touched at St. Helena and Ascen- sion for the purpose of repeating the magnetic observa- tions they had formerly made, ond verily ing their instru- ments, In order to render the whole series complete, it was necessary to repair to Rio de Janciro, which the ex- pedition reached on the 18th of June. Aiter a few days employed in observing and refitting, ther led fer Eng- land, and, touching at one western made the land The age up channel by calms and light winds, so that Capt. Ross was unable to lond until Monday last, the 4th September, and disembarked at Folkstone, and arrived in tewn in the afternoon of the same day. Need we add that his reception at the Admiralty was most cordial and gratifying. Lord Haddington complimented him in the warmest manner, in the presence ot the other .ords, and all joined in the higheat eulogy upon bis services. ‘This is only the preface to the fame he has with his brave com- rades, Capt. Crozier, Commander Bird, and the rest, so nobly earned ; and it will be echoed not only now, ond by hiscountry, but by the whole civilized world, and forever. Meartily do we wish, him aud all who were with him, the perfect enjoyment of that high health in which ee been restored to us after all their fatigues and perils. Pefaving given tho outline of this great national exploit, wo have only to annex a very few particulars in connex- ion with it, which may interest our genéral readers. When at Cape Horn, making magnetometric observa. he ships anchored in St. Martin’s Cove, where they fell in with a small party of Fuegeans, a most miserable race of human creatures, wandering neked amongst the constantly falling snow storms of this inclement region. Oa their path from Cape Horn to the Falkland Islands, they observed avery dangerous bank, directly in theline, on which it is probable that many a daring bark hes been lost whose fate has never been Jisclosed to mortal ears. On the island on which they landed, in lat. 71 56 8, and lon 1717 E, where they procured specimens of minerals imbedded in the igneous rocks, there was not the least appearance of vegetation, but it was so densely covered with penguins. which stoutly resisted their landing, that it was with difficulty they could force their way through them. The acquisitions to natural history, geology, geogra- phy, but, above all, towards the elucidation of the grand mystery of terres! magnetism, raise this voyage to a pre-eminent rank among the greatest achievements of British courage, intelligence and enterprise. it ‘This was a paltry proceeding, waen the preparation of the hh expedition to explore these seas, and the antarctic and wy & be beforehand mn pole, was so fully it, was only worthy of fulure The volume of by the volcano was in sud- of 2,000 feet; the diameter at mouth was about 300 feet, and it gradually assu verted cone till it was 500 or 600 in diameter, The smoke then gradually, persed, quite clear, filled with intensely bright flame, dashing in the face of the meridian sun. ‘The permanent snow extends to the very edge of the crater, and no supeuranes of lava tected on the surface.— Kid.

Siexine tum Dectuaration oF INDEPENDENCE.— A beautiful mezzotinto engraving by Sadd, of Trum- bul’s national painting of the signing of the Decla- ration of Independence, has just been faery by Neale, 56 Carmine street. Small steel engravings of the pieture, which occupies one of the panels in the Rotunda of the Capitoltat Washington, have been long extant, but no parlorengravings have been published until Mr. Neaie supplied the neceesary, shore of this great gulf consists of mountainous ranges covered with everlasting snow. It was named the Guli of Erebus and Terror ; itis about forty miles between the capes, and nearly as mony miles deep. Excepting the south part, it fullof heavy pack ice, and there were two spaces at ite deepest parts where no land could be discerned, and which probably communicate with Brans- field Strait. Inthe evening, the ice bemg driven off the land, they rounded the south part of the gulf, and coursed the land to the southwestward, between its shore and chain of grounded bergs for two or three miles distant All this portion was free from snow for 20 miles, when they ogeln came to perpendicular icy cliffs, descending from a snow-covered mountein about 2000 feet high This was a complete barrier in miniature, and tended to confirm Captain Ross’s opinion that an extensive conti- nent exists to the southward of the great barrier disce: vered in 1841, extending to the enst 460 miles from Mount Erebu Ice, in various forms, beset them for some time; en’ obser ions were taken on that which was fixed. No doubt remained that the strait before spoken of communi cated with Barngfield strait, and probably with the d’Orleans ; but it was so completely closed, that nothing terther could be done to decide this geographical point Lhe struggles with the ice continued to the first of Febru ary, when it became essential to extricate the ships, and endeavor to penetrete to the south. Ontve ath they suc ceeded in gaining the pack-edge, and were once more in clear water, after having been more or less entangled for the space of forty days East winds and thick togs pre vai ; and the best of the season was past. They, how ever, in lat. 65 crossed Weddell’s returning track, and found pack ice, where he had perfectly clear sea.(4) They could not penetrate beyond lat. 65 15 8., where their position was 100 miles to the southward ot Adm: D’Urville’s track, to follow the route so nobly achieved by our country Weddell.
