American Private Expedition in Search of Sir J. Franklin,— Private enterprise which in this country is aUnys likely to be more efficient than any action of the Government U now diligently at work, endeayouring to perfect a project for seeking and succouring the expedition under the command of Sir John Franklin. A merchant of New York ex'ensively connected with its London trade and owner or part owner of more than 60 whaling ships (among them the M'Lelland now about to sail on her fourth voyage for Baffin's Bay), hat al way entertained an opinion that that the raising adventures would still be found. His detire to afford them relief it now quite as strong at his conviction of their safety, and he has matured a plan for fitting out, conjointly with a fevr friends two vessel* of small dimensions bui perfectly suited to his purpose. The mildness of the winter, and the unusally early appearaoce of ice islands to the westward of the Banks ol Newfoundland, induced him to hoe that the Artie Ocean may be navigoble sooner that it generally is ; he is, therefore anxious to place his vessels there in time to seize the first favourable moment for penetrating that sea as iar as poisible before the approach of winter renders useless to remain there. The onlp important difficulty he encounters in fitting out this expedition is that of finding suitable officers to take charge of ii. In fact so extensive hai been the emigration of this enterprising cl<iss of people to California that the whaling fleet of America will probably be reduced one-third to one-half in the number of its ■hips. Under the circumstance, tbis gentleman hai sought for naval officers competent and well-disposed to assist in carrying out his views, and if among the many who hate volunteered some such can be spared from the public service, of which he has reason to entertain no doubt of all other inecessary preparations will be carried forward without loss of time.— Times New York Correspondent.
