Thk Aritc Ekploejng Expedition'—The New
4 ork JiitiniLil of Commerce states, active preparations
are making to lit out the second exploring expedition,
proposed to be sent to the Arctic regions, in search of
Sir John Franklin, by Henry Grinnell. The date for
its departure infixed at about Ihe middle of April next.
It will consist of the brig Advance, which formed a
part of thetirs: expedition, and is s’ ill in perfect order,
with the exception of her keel, which was knocked oil’
by the ice. Is is expected she will be taken into the
dry uoek in about three weeks. She w ill be manned
by a crew of picked men, under the command of Lieut.
Kane, C S N., and bo amply provided with sledges and
India rubber boots, with which to penetrate into the
frozen regions,—using whichever mode of conveyance
may facilitate their progress. Pei:unican, or
dried deer’s flesh, will form the essential article of
food On her Northerly trip, the Advance will stop
at Greenl old, and procure a supply of dogs. The
sledgc-s and oilier details of the outfit,'are in course of
preparation. The direction to be taken will be the re
gion of Smith > Sound ; and as the expedition will be
accompanied by a corps of scientific observers, inte
resting results of a scientific nature are anticipated,
even though the expedition should fail of its main ob
ject. Lieutenant Kane is peculiarly qualified for the
command of this philanthropic enterprise, and it could
ii"i i ‘ si', ierf t... n *i;i more h peful auspices.
Depreciation of Gold.— The following remarks are
made by Mr. riiomas Hankey, Jr., Governor of llie
Bank of England, in a short preface which he has writ*
ten to the English translation of M. Leon Faucher’s
work on the “ Production of the Precious Metals:”
“I can hardly agree that ihcre is no little ground
for alarm as to a deprecation in the value of gold in con
-•e< | isence of the late discoveries. The effects of the pro
duction in Australia can hardly be felt at present con
sidering tha’ the exports of English gold com has been,
up to this date, 1 think, equal to the amount of gold we
have received thence; but when the sovereigns lately
shipped are found to t>e in excess of the wants of the
community in Australia, and are re-shipjied to this coun
try together with the produce of the gold workings, be
tween this and next summer, I cannot but believe that
the supply in the market of the world will be found in
excess of the demand, and that ultimately a considera
ble and general alteration in prices will ensue.”
Steam Power in th : . site States. —The Med an
ical Review, published in New 4 oik, gives a table of
statistics of the number of steam engines and locomo
tives produced in a year at the different establishments
in the United States, from which it appears that the
steam power created in a single year in the United
States is equal to 713,118 horess, which is equal to the
physical labor, at the present time, of 7,1."4 390 men, and
m the fourteenth centurv of 357,626,730.
Daniel Webster at the Grave of Shakspkarb.
Mr. James 1. 1 ields, of Boston, who has been in Europe
a year or two ago, related in a lecture, the other night,
that he saw an old gentleman in England who met Mr.
M ebster at the grave of Shakspeare, anil heard him re
peat there, in the most impressive manner, the passage
from Hamlet on the immortality of the soul. The old
gentleman further said that lie had seen and heard
Burke, Pitt, Fox, Sheridan, and other brilliant lumina
ries of that day, but he never looked u[>on the like of
Daniel Webster.
Bridal Chambers.— We would call attention to a
prominent feature in all Shis great, increasing and vul
gar display in hotels and steamboats. This is the
“Bridal Chamber.” In each new boat or hotel, this
is furnished more sumptuously than any preceding it.
And so soon as a In dr enters a hotel or a steamboat,
•he coming is buzzed about in spite of all the delicacy
■ discretion of captains, hosts or hostesses, all tin es
“bnoui chamber, and is .ir : t -r tics are busy with
gossip and speculation. A “bride ’ must be‘rather
r idtit to endure this without annoyance, and rather
brazen to receive it complacently Is this an improe, !
me 4in American manner.'? Regarding domestic re
lations as sanctities, we would guard them from the
coarsely suggestive mystery of the Asiatics, and the
iso less coarsely suggestive publicity of some Europeans.
In England, births and promises of birth among the
“nobility and gentry’’ are “gazetted.” In Germany,
lovers go into the newspapers about their betrothals
and holiday presents to their beloved Gertrudes and
Wilhelminas, and are particular upon the wedding ward
robe and baby linen : and husbands expatiate in the
same field, upon the hopes, consummations, sufferings,
recoveries, churching* and Christenings of their ever
dear Sophias and Gustafinas. More dignity, more del
icacy, more respect for woman, hat- been the rule
among Americans. Is that rule infringed by the
pompous display of the yut-r “Bridal Chambers?”—
la Lies who do not wish to blush before too much
company, will be discreet in avoiding them.— Phil.

Bexjaman Franklin’s Letter to a Young Wo
man.— The Boston Pont gives five copies of unpublished
letters from Dr. Franklin, which have recently been
found in that city. The following one seems to have
been addressed to a lady with whom he was on inti
mate emis previous to liis marriage, and who was still
single at that time:
“ Philadelphia, Oct. 16, 1775 —Dear Kaiy: Your
favor of the sth of June came to hand, but on the 2>d
September, just three months after it was written. I
had rwo weeks before written you a long chat, and sent
it to the care of your brother Ward. 1 hear you are
now in Boston, gay and lovely as usual. Let me give
you some fat bony advice. Kill no more pigeons than
you can eat; be a good girl, and don’t forget your cat
echism ; go constantly to meeting or to church till you
get a good husband; and then stay a’ home and nurse
the children, and live like a Christian. Spend your

Loss of Rev. Dr. Peck’s Li bract. —The destruc
tion of the library of Dr. Peck, at Rock Spring, Illinois,
together with the immense mass of documents, and va
rious other materials for his “ Jlftpry f the l <<> y of
the has been announced in nearly all the
n-.vspap ;s of the West. In the collection was an im?
mens • number of files of magazines, newspaper*, re
views, Ac,, extending back many of them to the year
Is IS, and in m:;nv instances to near the commencement
of the present century. The annual reports of most, if
not all, of the various societies of she Limed States were
there. Hardly a pamphlet printed in this State within
the last forty years, but could be found in his collection.
The manuscript department was extremely valuable. In
his travels over the West he had taken down from the
lips of the early settlers a biography of these pioneers,
and Ihe history of their times. The number of these
manuscripts was very great. Besides these, he had a
large and valuable library of the choicest works, collect
ed many pf them in Philadelphia and other Eastern cit
ies. One of the most extensive cabinets of minerals
found in the We t was dero.-ited here. Happilv, most
of the documents necessary to his forthcoming work,
which Is partly ready for she press, chauccd to be tit bis
house, and were saved, besides some two or three thou
sand volumes of valuable books.
TjgT” We ler.rr. from the Philadelphia Ledger that the
heirs of .Stephen Girard have commenced of
ejectment in the Circuit Court and Court of Nisi Prius,
against the immense estate bequeathed bv t! e old “ma
riner and merchant” bo the City Coqa ration, as Trus
tees, 4c. The \ resent action is said to rest on she abol
ishment of the principle of entail, alleged to be violated
in the present devise, which is perpetual; and as Girard
could not entail his estate in his own family, how could
he entail it in a corporation? The action V* said to lie
timed within the twenty-one years’limit of actual i*.s
sesskm only by a few hours.

The Air Ship Ericsson.
The following remarks in relation to this important
improvement in the mode of propelling machinery, are
f.oai the Neiv A ork Tribune. In addition, we learn by
private adv.ces from New Yolk, that the keels will La
immediately laid for two huge shi; s, and that Captain
ivricsson, instead o! going to Europe, as at lirst inteiHl
cJ, will remain in this country to su;ierin:end the con.
struct ion of theii engines.
4’ * deem it proper to s ate, as a mailer of great in -
p>rt.inee and iiuiversJl interest, that ihe projectors of
” ■•.•! enterprise of sub.sibu ing hot air f.ii- -teiin in
thepiiipelbngoi’ vessels, coafidrsiily believe that their
laic exj eriaieatal trip estahli- ites their success beiond
a doubt. The performance of the firiasson on Tues
diy, is c .asides Iby them entirely conclusive. The
ve". ‘ ‘ . at down the h irljor with the wind and tide at
ihe rate of fourteen miles an hour. The engineer a!-
1 uved the tires m go entirely out while the vessel lay
at anchor b low. On the following day they were re
kindled a id the ship was propelled back against bolh
wind and at the rate ot seven and a half miles an
hour, with but a partial application of power.
There were some imperfections in the wo: king of the
machinery arising merely from defective adjustment, or
imperfect packing, but no hittg that was reckoned as
casting any doubt wliatevcr upon the entire and perfect
siicv.-ss of the great experiment, with the ship and en
gine as they now stand.
One hardly knows in what terms so express the ex
px-atiosss tliat may bo en’ertaiued of the results ihut
will follow the triumph which is thus believed to have
been achieved. It prefigures a revolution of the most
interesting and extraordinary character.
Advantages of the Caloric Ship.
The New A ork /.r. /•.sa\ a few of the advantages
winch caloric has over steam, may be thus summed up:
1. The <a oric engine burns about one-tenth as much
fuel as a steam engine; hence a caloric ship of she hir
gest size may c./ c-. mn iebtal: t. ■ <jhbt without stopping
to take in coal; hence, not a sail will be seen on the
ocean in fii y years after the success ot the new princi
ple is certain : hence, machinery will lie applied to a
thousand arts which now require manual labor; hence,
the possibility of that long-desired machine plough;
and hence the coming of that good time when arduous
manual tod will absolutely ecus under the sun.
2. The cos: of the caloric engine is about the same as
tlu seam engine, minus tlx;- cost of the boilers.
:. Only one-fourth as many engine men will be re
quired on board a caloric ship as are necessary for a
steamer.
4. No smoko whatever will issue from a caloric fur
nace, when anthracite coal is used, and consequently
no huge, unsightly smoke pipe will be necessary, and
the tagging will be as clean as that of a sailing ship.
5. i here can be no bursting or collapsing of boilers,
for the simple reason that there will lie no boilers to
burst. The worst accident that can happen to a caloric
engine is for it to stop; nor is watchfulness impera
tive! v re ,used, its in no case can a dangerous accident
occur.
6 Oaiiig to die extreme simplicity of the caloric en
gine, the wear and tear will be very slight, and the du
ration cl the cngii e proportionably long.
A lIAPFy Illustration.—The Courier ds* EtuU
l f ,in an article on tlie caloric ship Eriemun, illustrates
the opera: inn of the wire apparatus, in alternately heat
ing and cooling the same volume of air, in the follow
ing apposite manner:
The great fundamental principle of the transmission
of calorie, cost the inventor twenty years of reflection to
r> disc iii ibis machine. It consists in using constantly
the same heat to warm the air which is made to enter
the cylinders. The apparatus, by means of which this
principle is applied, is called a regenerator, and we can
form a clear idea of it by supposing that a man has his
motiih filled with a warm metallic sponge; if he draws
in his breath, the exterior air, in traversing the pores of
the warm sponge, will itself be warmed, and will arrive
warm into the lungs, while the sponge having parted
with its caloric, will have become cold; if he exhales
the air thus warmed, this air, in agiin traversing the
sponge, will again warm it, and will come out reduced
in temperament. If, instead of producing these move
ments by tlie contraction of the muscles of the breast of
the individual, an ordinary bellows is adapted to the
mouth to produce the inhalation and the exhalation, we
well nigh have Ericsson’s machine.
Messrs. Smith A Ward, contractors for putting
up telegraph wires, under Ihe Morse patent, from New-
Orle.tns to Red Kiverand Texas, are now on Red River
making preparations to run the line to Alexandria,
Nachitocbes and Shreveport. It is expected that the
wires will he in working order, between New-Orleans
and Shreveport, in from three to four months It is the
intention of the contractors to carry the line from
Shreveport into Texas.
The Reported Occupation of Santana by the
French.
Boston, Jan. 8, 1853.
The brig Two Ladies, from Port au Platte is only
about twenty-five miles from Saniana, and the captain
reports that the story of its occupation by the French
is without a shadow of foundation. He was there sev
eral weeks, and during that time vessels were constant
ly passing and re-passing between Port au Platte and
Sumana. Not a foreign vessel of war had been in that
neighborhood, nor any vessel sent, as has been stated
in lesti ‘ 1 Havana, by the Captain-General, to look
after Cilibusiers in mat quarter.
The republic of rii. Domingo vvoa m an unusually
quiet s a:e, politically.
A Portuguese fore-and-aft schooner, with a crew of
