“Miscellaneous Intelligence – Captain Ross” (p. 244)

CAPTAIN ROSS.—A select committee of the House of Commons has been appointed, to inquire into the circumstances of the expedition to the Arctic seas, commanded by Captain John Ross of the Royal Navy, with a view to ascertain whether any, and what reward may be due, for the services rendered on that occasion. Among the names of the gentlemen appointed, we observe that of Sir James Graham and Sir Robert Peel.
