After the toasts of "The Queen" and "King Orcar," I ́m whore subjectesa large proportion of the crew are engaged,

Dr. Milt propored snccess to the expetition, which was about to undertake a work of inter national importance. It was reproach to human enterpilse that there were parte of this 'dienloutly amall earth which civilisad man had never reached and never attempted to reach, and this reproach, in so far as it refened to the Antarelle regions, the munificence of Sir George Newnes, combined with the courage of Mr. Bochgrevlek, would, he hope', remors. Mr. Beechgrevlik had already shown that he could do good work as an explorer, and that was recognized' three years ago when the In terna lonal Geographical Congress passed u resolution to the effect that it would be a mis. fortane If the roth century should close without an effort to explore the Antarctic regions. Alone and analled Sir George Newaes had filled out the present expedition, from which great results might be expected, possibly not results of sensa tional interest, but of enduring value for geogra phical actence. In the name of British geogra phers he wished the expedition God speed, use. ful work, and a sale and quick return. (Cheers).

Admiral Sir E. Ommanney expressed his in- terest in ite object and admiratio's of the equip. ment of the expedition.

Mr. Borchgrevink sald he was grateful to the man who had helved him in this endeavour to accomplish the objett of kle ambition. He hoped to be walky of that confidence, and, ling ander Billih fig presented by the Dska ol York, he would be mindful of the British naval motto, "England expects 'every mạn to do his duty," (Cheers).

Sir George Newnes said it was difficult on the crowded deck and amid all the dock noises to prolong the proceedings, and the heat almost Induced

wish for Antarctic experience, (Laughter.) He had not fatended any pubile funciton on the starting of the expedition, remembering that putting on the armour wAS not the time for boasting, and he would rather have bed until the vessel returned and those on board could say they had done the world some arvice. He wou'd-arold saying much. No doubt the possibilities of the expedition were enormous, and be reminded them of the paper read this year before the Royal Society by Dr Marky on The scientific advantages of an Antarctle expeðlion" Many emtuent men declared their opinion that the thing ought to be dace, and-the-R57-1-Grographical Society ande took the insk Mr. Borchgrevink would be

Elad if they followed bis excellent example. He

Rock the opportunity to sue that Mr. Borchgrevink nd himself had received every courtery at the hands of the Royal Geographical So lety. The ressons for the expedition he would not go fate. The scientific reasons were so obvicus, and had been a mach discussed, that all who had studied the sale wa'd admit the possibilities were enormous, and thelt might be a commercial side to them. (Hear, hear.) At the meeting of the Royal Society the opinion was expressed that a big haler should be selected and fitted out with tbe heat modein appliances and that was exact. ly what had been done with the best crew expertecc" could selec'. How long the Southern Cross would be away could not, of course, before. seen, but he hoped that tidings would reach Eag- land in six months and that in the year 1900 he would welcome Mr. Borchgrevink on his return. It was generally known that a Belgian expedition ander Cuplata Gerlache bad gone out in another direction and was last heard of at the Falkland Islands. I had been bought possible that that expediilon was in trouble, and Sir Clements Makhim had suggested that the Southers Cross should go to the Falkland Islands In search of them. After giving the fullest can. alderation to this be thought that to go to the Falkland Islands would be a mistake. Caplafo Gertiche had knowledge of the route of the Southern Cross and would try to meet Mr. Borchgrevlek, who, of course, acknowledged the first duty to hamsalty, and would put everything else acide to assist Captain Gerlache, He hoped be expressed the feeling of all present, as he felt sure he did of thousands Throughout the country, that kind thoughts would follow Mr. Borchgrevink and hin gallant companiony, In the hepa aud bellel that they would triumphantly retorn, having done something the world would call herole. (Cheers.) Dr. Bowdler Sharpe said the keanest interest and sympathy was felt at the British Muscam In the expedition, and he bore testimony to the bigh qualificallos of Mr. Nicolai Hansen, one of the zoologlats on the staff,

A party of Royal Marines for service at Wel. Bat-Wel left Chatham on 25th of o, to embark on the steamship Britannto at the Albert Docks. The detachment, which included the costlagents from the Portsmouth and Plymouth divisions, way played from the gardron to the rallway by the Royal Marines band. Captain W. A.

Since the return of the e-ulser Vindicitve to Chatham, after her recent official trip, she has been placed in the repaling basin to complete her fitments, preparatory to befas commissioned. She is to be ready to halst the parnaut by the end of réxt month, when, it is stated, she will be despatched to the China Station. Her machinery and holler fittings have all been opered out for examination, and the engines have bien inspected by the Engineer-in-Chief of the Navy, who expressed satisfaction with the manner in which the work of constracting them had been executed, as well as with the splendid revalti of the trials.

It is considered highly probable, says the Army and Navy Gazette, that the misalon to China which Lord Charles Beresford has accepted will have some effect on the Tiang-li Yamen. The teports which he will give them after bo hai fospected their fighting forces will probably secure the appointment of a naval and millary adviser on terms satisfactory to them- selves. Further than that it is not expected that bis visit will be productive of much good. Ol reports on the prospects of trade we have enough and to xpure.
