THIS EVENING, and every evening during the week, the GRAND ELEUSINIAN SPECTACLE of MAGIC and MYSTERY, by Professor ANDERSON, the Great Wizard of the North, in 12 acts, with ever-changing var'ety of incidents, continuous surprises, novel and extraordinary effects. Magic and Mystery is an entirely new entertainment, pos sessing distinctive characteristics and pecuiiar phases of amusement. It is not a monologue, for the audience them selves perform their parts with the principal actor, some of them on the stage and others iu front ; it is not an exhibition, for though everything becomes metamorphosed before the eyes of the visitors no one can be positive that he sees any one thing; but it is a comedy really performed by the com pany ; a melodrama replete with startling positions and unex pected denouements ; a magnificent spectacle, with 2,000 of the public every night to appear as auxiliaries ; and an ex travaganza, in which all that seems to be is entirely beyond the bounds of probability. Professor Anderson returns his thanks to thronged and fashionable audiences which have nightly filled the Lyceum Teatre to overflow, and by means of whose generous aid he las been enabled to announce Magic and Mystery „for con tinuous repetition. He believes that no professor of his art las at any time or in any place been honoured with an amount of success so extensive, so decided; and so unusual. He would attribute that success to three causes ; first, that in his present entertainment he• has placed before his visitors the results of a life sedulopsly devoted to the attainment of perfected skill in one peculiar art, and to perfect which he has travelled the globe in every clime ; secondly, that he has spared no trouble nor expense to put this entertainment on the stage in the most elaborate manner, by the employment of the first mechanicians and artists of the day ; and thirdly, that, while endeavouring to provide amusement for those who honour him with their presence, he has not forgotten that it is possible to afford information also, and that the oppor tunity should not be neglected of exposing conjuring where ever it has been used for nefarious purposes, or whenever by resorting to the conjuror's arts, in an illegitimate manner, the designing have succeeded in making dupes of the credulous, _ _ _ The 937 letters on the subject of spirit-rapping, which Pro fessor Anderson has received, from the time of opening the theatre up to the present date, bear witness to the great in terest taken on the subject of this singular delusion ; whilst many of them bear melancholy evidence to the dangers which attend a belief in the superstitious nonsense of the " Spiri tualists." Judging simply by the correspondence which has resulted, Professor Anderson's expose of spirit-rapping and his illustration of the so-called table phenomena, have pro duced a sensation unequalled by any previous attempt to ex pose a mischievous and impudent juggle. It is impossible for Professor Anderson to reply at length to a tithe of the communications which reach him on the subject. He regrets that many of these should come from ladies and gentlemen who, from their position in society and their well-known in tellectual attainments, he would least have expected to have been converts to a belief so preposterous in itself, and so easily susceptible of being controverted and disproved. Every evening, from the Lyceum stage, Mr. Anderson's opinions on spirit-rapping are expressed, and every evening, within the Lyceum, how tables can bo made to rap is exhibited and elucidated. It is respectfully requested that this public exposition will be accepted generally as Professor Anderson's only mode of replying at full length to his multitudinous correspondents. lie regrets that the names of the gresit and learned of the land should have been made to figure in the documents emanating from the spirit-rappers, as for instance the following, ex tracted from the Morning Advertiser of Thursday, Septem ber 20, and taken by that journal from the New York Spiri tual Telegraph. It purports to emanate from an American spirit-rapper, Mr. D. D. Hume :—" Sir David Brewster frankly confesses that he is ' sorely puzzled' at what he has witnessed, and Lord Brougham acknowledges himself to bo thoroughly nonplussed. Both of these noted men brought the whole force of their keen discernment to bear upon the solution of the phenomena ; but the presence of substantial, actual hands, and the demonstrative strength of the spirits who thus clothed themselves for the time, and moved mate rial objects about the room, proved bo be too much of a ques tion for them to master." Mr. D. D. Hume, the author of the above, has recently left England, and the following account of -who, and what he is, occurs in the Family Herald, No. 648: —" This young man, who is a Scotchman by birth, and now in Italy, is a remarkable medium for all the manifestations without apparatus. Barnum, who is well-known throughout the Anglo-Saxon world as a splendid humbug, offered him 2,000 dollars per annum if he would perform at his museum in New York. Barnum then took it for granted that mediums could be bought. He was somewhat astonished when his offer was refused. Hume, on telling the fact in London lately, simply and honestly remarked, that the money would have been very acceptable to him, for he was poor, young (under 20), an or phan, and in very bad health : but he would have been afraid of losing his power as a medium, and ho would sooner lose Lis life. The refusal, however, made Barnum thoughtful. Ho inquired into the subject; and now Barnum, one of the greatest humbugs in the world, and withal a conjuror, is one of the firmest believers in spiritualism." It is cer tainly surprising to find such a paragraph as this in the editorial article of an established journal, the editor of whom might be supposed to be sane. Even if Barnum does believe in spirit-rapping--does spirit-rapping gain or lose by this accession to its adherents ? and, with Barnum's endorse ment to it, is this bill, drawn on public credulity, more likely to be negotiated ? Professor Anderson would believe not ; but, when he finds that educated clergymen of the Church of England have the temerity to subscribe their names to so gross a swindle, when he finds that the incumbent of Wortley (the Rev. N. J. Godfrey) positively asserts his belief in it, and writes a book on the subject, he considers it to be time for him to state that which he knows of the mechanism by which it is effected, and the mischief to which it tends. In the .tiforning Advertiser of October 3 appears a letter from Sir David Brewster, relative to that which he saw at Cox's Hotel, in company with Lord Brougham. He distinctly states that which the Wizard of the North proclaims every night—that spirit-rapping is nothing more than conjuring applied to bad purposes. In the Morning Advertiser of the following day, however, there is an answer to Sir David's letter from one who was present when he and Lord Brougham had their seance with the spirits, in which the writer says, that " the table (a large dinner-table, I believe) moved about in the most extraordinary manner, and, among other things, a large ac cordion was conveyed by an invisible agency to my hand and then to Lord Brougham's, in which, held by his lordship's right hand, apart from any person, it played an air through out." With such a statement, printed for the edification of - the people of the 19th century, with the facts before us that the most talented men of the day are permitting themselves to be deluded by these juggling spirit-mongers—that the greatest novelist of the age is now engaged in making it the subject of a new work, and that a " spiritual convention" Las actually been advertised to be held in St. Martin's-hall, Professor Anderson trusts that his exposures of the spiritual ists of America, as given by him nightly at the Lyceum, will be received by the people of England as genuine honest at tempts to provide an antidote for the bane of the spiritual jugglers. In the course of the last five weeks 100,017 persons have visited the Lyceum Theatre,—a larg - cr number, it is believed, - than has ever before been assembled within its walls in so short a period. Magic and Mystery is repeated every even. - lug, the programme being continually changed.

Their guns supplied them with animal food, no provisions being carried in the boats, except powdered bread stuff• and tallow. (Tallow, says the Doctor, is a very good thing.) "'From Cape Alexander they travelled to the south ward, sometimes over ice,, sometimes through water, shooting eider duck and seal, and collecting enough eggs to keep the party in good condition. At Cape Fork they burnt up their spare boats and sledges for fuel, and left the coast. Striking out to the open sea of Melville Bay, they then steered for the North Danish settlements of Greenland. Here they providentially landed oa the 6th of August, in vigorous health, after their travel of 1,300 miles, and 81 days of constant exposure. "LEAVING THE COAST—FALLING IN WITH lIAETSTEIN'S EXI"EDITION. " From Upernavik, the largest of these settlements, they took passage in a Danish sailing-vessel for England. By great good fortune they touched at Disko, where they were met by Captain Hartstein's expedition. This last searching expedition had found the ice of Smith's Sound still unbroken, but, having communicated with the Esquimaux, had heard o f t h e d eparture o f D r. K ane ' and had retraced their steps. THE DEATHS ON THE EXPEDITION. " The expedition has to mourn the loss of three of its comrades, two of whom perished of lockjaw and one from abscess following upon a frozen extremity. These men may be said to have fallen in the direct discharge of a noble duty. Their names are—Acting-Carpenter Chris tian Ohlsen, and Jefferson Baker and Peter Schubert, volunteers. " Mr. Wm. Morton, ship's steward on board the Advance, has furnished us with the following interest ing account of the progress of the expedition, of the life aboard the ship, of the health of the crew, and of the rescue of the party, with incidentsl matters connected with the cruise. Mr. Morton returns in excellent health, having suffered no disasters, except that his heel was badly frozen, and that he still limps in consequence of the injury. He states as follows : " We left the port of New York, on board the brig Advance, under command of Lieut. Kane, on Tuesday, the 31st of May, 1853, two years and five months ago. Our voyage out was performed without incident. After the usual run we entered Davis's Straits, following the route of Arctic bound vessel, sailed through Baffin's Bay, penetrated to Smith's Sound, returned through Barrow's Straits, and finally took up our first winter quarters in Renaselger Bay, in the month of September, 1853. Since that period the vessel has not moved from her position. The ice is closely packed around her, and there is no open water within 90 miles. She will pro bably remain there until she breaks up. " ' The number of persons on board the Advance was less than 20. They were as follows : "'Commander, Lieut. E. K. Kane ; First Officer, J. W. Wilson ; Second Officer, H. Brooks ; Third Officer, A. Bronsell ; Fourth Officer, Jas. M`Geary ; Steward, Wm. Morton ; Cook, Peter Shepherd ; Sur gean and Naturalist, Dr. J. J. Hayes ; Astronomer, A. Sontag ; Daguerreotypist, Mr. Bousall ; Assistant- Daguerreotypist, H. Goodfellow. Seamen—G.Stephen s on, Jefferson T. Baker, George J. Whittell, Wm. E. Godfrey, George Reilley, C. Blake. Three of this num ber have died—viz.:-1. Peter Shepherd, ship's cook, died after amputation of the foot. 2. Christian Ohlsen, carpenter. 3. Jefferson T. Baker, seaman. Ohlsen died on the return home, and was buried at Littleton Island. "The health of the expedition was otherwise excellent. The scurvy has prevailed to some extent, but it yielded to regimen, exercise, and cleanliness. Life on board the ship was diversified by the best amusements we could contrive, by excursions, and• by various exercises. We made several sledge journeys to the northward and all around. Some of these excursions were made when the temperature was exceedingly low, and the length of our journeys varied from a few miles to 20, 25, and 30 miles. On these trips we took our provisions on sledges, camped at night under tents rigged over the sledges, and on one occasion were absent for 31 days. The point at which the vessel is nipped is about in lat. 80 deg. On our longest journey to the northward we reached 82 deg. 30 min, TEMPERATURE—CURIOUS FACT. " For nearly two months in the year—that is, in July and part of August—the weather was very fine. The suniwas up night and day, and when its beams fell direct the temperature was comfortable—almost hot— the thermometer marking, perhaps, 50 to GO degrees. It was a pecuiiar fact, however, that while the sun was hot enough to melt the ice where his rays had full power, the ice still held firm in the shade ; so that while on the sunny side ice melted, on the other water would freeze. After the middle of August the winter rapidly closed in, and by September, or at the time when the Advance was caught, the season was already far advanced. " 'The distance of the winter quarters from the nearest Esquimaux settlement was 70 miles. Notwith standing the distance, however, the Indians made fre quent visits to the ship. They came over the ice in sledges drawn by dogs, and these animals made rapid journer, travelling o't..n as much as seven or eight knots an hour. The Esquimaux women were often on board the vessel. Both men and women were sometimes taken in, lodged, and fed, and they usually behaved well, but they are arrant thieves by nature, and will steal everything they can lay their hands on, without regarding its use at all. The only articles of which they appeared to understand the purpose were knives, rope, and implements of iron. Of philosophical instruments, ship's apparatus, and the ordinary appliances of civilised life they had not the most distant conception. They stole them because they loved to steal—that was all. In person they are stout, of low stature, and very fat. They have no boats, and depend wholly for means of transport upon their dogs and sledge s. " H ow TIME WAS PASSED ON BOARD THE SHIP. " Life on shipboard was regular and orderly. There was a time for everything, and everything was in its place. Captain Kane and the officers were untiring in the discharge of the duties of their posts, and the men appeared contented and hearty. The ship was abundantly provisioned, and the diet was wholesome and various. At seven bells, or about half-past seven o'clock in the morning, all hands turned out. Break fast was taken at eight. The duties of the ship were then performed ; the decks were cleansed, and things were put in order for the day. Sledge parties were then apportioned, for the sake of exercise, and about three trips were made in different directions for two or three miles. By the time the parties had all re turned to the ship it was nearly noon. At four bells-2 o'clock—dinner was served. After this there was no thing to do, except to read, talk, laugh, if there was anything to laugh at, keep warm, and be jolly. Another meal presently followed, and at 9 to 10 o'clock at night the shin and all in it were silent; the lights, except those above deck, were extinguished, and the watches were set. This, with very slight variations, was the regular routine on board the ship during the whole period of nearly two years. " 'The articles of diet on board the ship ware not only good and nourishing, but exceedingly palatable. Pemi can, meat, biscuit, walrus, seal, beef, pork, and game were in abundance. In the midst of the cold there was no want of the good things of this life. Petnican is beef dried and ground, and then saturated with beef or pork fat ; there is as much nourishment in one pound of it as there is in four pounds of ordinary beef. It is of plea sant taste, and is already partially cooked. It is not unpalatable without any 'preparation whatever, but is commonly used after being mixed with a sufficient quan tity of Indian meal and water to cause it to adhere, and is then fit to fry or stew. It is a wholesome dish. Gael Borden's meat biscuit I consider excellent ; it was much used among us. Walrus' meat is strong, coarse, and of a game-like flavour, but very good. We did not fancy it at first, but learned to like it. We frequently went walrus hunting, and were compelled to chase the animals for some distance. They are a wild animal, and never showed fight ; they frequently came near the ship. The seals we killed as they came up through holes in the ice. The flesh of these animals has an oily flavour, not very palatable, but the men, by dint of practice, finally relished it handsomely. We killed a great many seals. " In St. John, Newfoundland, we had obtained sup plies of beef and mutton, which we moiled—that is, we took out all the bones in order to preserve it fresh. We took out eggs in abundance, and these were a staple article of diet. Salt pork and beef were alternated with fresh meats. " We had large supplies of game, the eider duck, the little auk, and the dovekey. The dovekey may be de scribed as a little duck, one quarter the size of the ordi nary fowl ; its flesh is delicate and good. The little auk is a very small bird, hardly larger than a man's hand. The eider duck is very large. Of all these birds there was a supply as large as could have been desired. The diet of the men was varied, so as to preserve their health, and salt meat was entirely dropped from the bill of fare in all cases of scurvy. At we time all hands were down with this disease except Dr. Kane and Mr. Bonsall ; but the scurvy was not generally prevalent, and the small number of deaths on board has already been mentioned. The preserved vegetables taken out by the expedition were in good preservation. " No regular rations of spirits were served out. It was very necessary to have liquor in oases of sickness ; but none was used regularly, fore or aft. " We abandoned the Advance on the 24th of May last, having passed 20 months on board the ship while she was icebound. It having been determined that the vessel should be abandoned, we made preparations for departure. The philosophical instruments, the record of the cruise, and the necessary supplies of clothing and provisions were placed in the ships boats and on sledges, and on the morning of the 24th of May we left the ship, intendinc , to make our way down through Melville Bay to the Danish settlement during the summer. Our t r ip was made in safety. We dragg ed ou r boats over the ice; at night put them up for shel ter, an d spread a tent over each of them, and of the 17 p ersons who composed our party we lost but I—Mr. Oh lsen, whom we buried at L33itytleeatorsn of l age,sland lie has wa left a sayonngman, probably 32 or andfamily. Dr. Kane re ceived the poor fellow's dying messages. " On the 6th of Aug., without further mishap, we reached the settlement of Upernavik, where we were hospitably entertained during the whole period that we remained—upwards of a month—awaiting the arrival of the Danish ship, which usually makes that port about the lst of Sept., on a trading voyage. The ship (the Mary Ann, from Copenhagen) remained in port for two weeks, discharging and recoiling cargo ; and when she was ready for sea we embarked on board of her for home. At Lievely, on Disko Island, we fell in with the American receiving vessels the Arctic and Release, which had been in search of us, and had returned, running down the coat, looking for us. This point is 250 miles south of Upernavik. " Capt. Kane and some others, myself included, went on board the Release, and the remainder on board the Arctic. Our homeward voyage was performed without any remarkable occurrences, the party returning in good health and spirits. At a late hour this afternoon we an chored off the battery.' " From one of the seanten who sailed in the Advance the following facts wero gleaned : " Our further progress by the ship was intercepted by limitless fields of solid ice. Dr. Kane disembarked, and commenced the overland journey north in his canine conveyances, consisting of a caravan of 60 Esquimaux and Labrador dogs harnessed to sledges, carrying, be sides the 40 weapons, &c., provisions for several months, a monument prepared in this city, to be erected on the spot where Sir John Franklin and party are supposed to have perished. " The party journeyed north, over ice and snow, at the rate of GO miles per day, amid a scenery described as awfully grand ; the limitless plain presenting to the eye one vast barren waste, and save the dismal moaning of the Arctic winds, silence everywhere prevailed. At length, after incredible toil, further progress was inter cepted by a vast open sea, extending in front and on either side until lost in distance. " ' The thermometer had for several days indicated a gradual increased temperature, until it had reached zero ; on the shores of this northern sea it indicated a much higher, temperature. The waters of this sea, as well as the adjacent soil, indicated a temperature of from 40 deg. to 45 deg. A species of grass and firm weed on the shores, and great numbers of herbivorous and other animals and birds, hitherto unknown to naturalists, were feeding or roaming in fearless indifference. " ' The Relief has brought home a living bird resemb ling, in some respects, the silver seagull. This bird was caught, while young, on the shores, and has become en tirely domesticated, and seems highly pleased with its new acquaintances.' " From the same source we gleaned the following in teresting statement : " The Advance had been frozen in the ice for two winters. During this long, weary imprisonment fuel became short, and Captain Kane was compelled to con vert the floors, inner planking, spars, and finally the very floors to the cabins, in which himself and officers lodged, into fuel. " At length, losing all hope of escape by the break ing up of the ice, his provisions growing short and men sick, the boats were dragged over the ice to the open sea, and with his feeble but boon companions, betook themselves to the open sea in their boats. After suffer ing all but death itself and the loss of three of his boon companions, including the carpenter, Captain Kane reached a Danish settlement some ti me i n J une last. "Of the 60 dogs taken out by raptain Kane all pe rished but two, which he has brought home with him. " ' Prior to embarking for home in the Relief he was desirous of ascertaining what was the fate of the Ad vance. In consequence of the ice he was unable to ap proach within some 20 miles of his ship, and it was deemed imprudent to hazard his men i❑ their feeble con dition in a journey to the imprisoned ship over the ice. " A seal fisher was fell in with, when Captain Kane by signs inquired concerning his ship. The Esquimaux replied by signs. Thrusting his spear between the ice in an erect position, he informed Captain Kane that the ship was still in the ice. "In answer to further inquiry as to her condition he was informed that the sails bad been taken off for tents, and the ropes for fishing purposes by the natives. And, holding the bowl of his clay pipe between his hands, with the stem erect, pointing in the direction of the Advance, he crushed the bowl between his hands, the stem still continuing erect, meaning to communicate that one ship was still embedded in the ice ; that her masts were still standing, but the hull had been crushed by the ice. DR. KANE'S ARCTIC EXPEDITION. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY NIGHT. By the arrival of the Vanderbilt steam-ship North Star we have dates from New York to the 13th inst., announcing the return of Dr. Kane's Arctic Expeditionary Corps, which, it may be re membered, started two years since on a voyage of exploration, for the purpose of discovering, if pos sible, traces of Sir John Franklin, _ _ The following details are extracted from the New York papers " Dr. Kane, the intrepid Arctic navigator, after hav ing been given up as lost, bas returned safe borne, with the loss of but three men on his whole expedition. He left his brig frozen up in the Arctic Sea on the 24th of May, 1855, went 300 miles over the ice to the sea, and then, in open boats, 1,300 miles to Upernavik, in Green land. After waiting for upwards of a month a Danish trading ship found them there, and after a subsequent delay of a fortnight they were taken on board and pro ceeded homeward. At Lievely, on Disko Island, 250 miles south of Upernavik, the Danish vessel fell in with the American Searching Expedition under Lieutenant Hartstein, and the party were transferred to the Arctic and Release, which vessels reached this port last even ing. Readers will remember that by this arrival we have the return at the same time of two parties of Arctic ex peditionists—the Kane expedition, without its vessel, but with all but three of its men, and the Hartstein ex pedition, with its two vessels and men, all safe and sound. The De Haven expedition was sent out May 2, 1850, by Mr. Grinnell, to search for Sir John Franklin. Dr. Kane was surgeon on board. " The Kane expedition started May 31, 1853, under command of Dr. Kane, and expected to be back in two years. It had but one vessel, the brig Advance. For more than a year back its fate was esteemed very doubt ful ; and when last spring it was proposed to send out a party to search for it the proposition met with far less favour than its friends desired, because it was thought almost a settled fact that Dr. Kane and his party were past all hope of recovery. Congress, however, favoured the proposition, and two vessels were despatched on the search on the 4th of June, 1855. They have found the lost searchers for Franklin, and restored them to thousands of surprised and rejoicing friends. Since the third expedition's sailing no news had been brought back of them, and we had no time to publish the steamer Union's report that the expeditionists were off Sandy Hook before they came to anchor off the Bat tery, and the gallant adventurers were withstanding as well as they could the overwhelming welcomes of their friends. The doctor has improved in personal appear ance i❑ his ansence. He brings home a bronzed face, a long and heavy black beard, a shock of hair just whitening a little—a sort of dark iron gray—a stouter body, and a hand with a hearty grip in it. The greatest interest, of course, pertains to his story. We give it as we took it from his lips : "The expedition succeeded in crossing Melville Bay and reaching the headland of Smith's Sound as early as the 6th of August, 1853. Finding the ice to the north completely impenetrable, they were forced to attempt a temporary passage along the coast, where the rapid tides, running at the rate of four miles an hour, with a rise and fall of 16 feet, had worn a temporary opening. Pre vious to taking this step, which involved great risk— which was, in fact, equal to s sacrifice of the brig iu which Dr. Kane was—a Francis metallic life-boat, with a cashe of provisions, was concealed as a means of retreat. " The penetration of the pack-ice was attended by many obstacles. The vessel grounded with every tide, and but for her extreme strength she would not have been able to sustain the shocks. She was several times on her beam ends, and once on fire from the upsetting of the stores. " Some idea of this peculiar navigation may be formed by a knowledge of the fact of her losing her jibboom, best bower anchor and bulwarks, besides about 600 fathoms of warping line. They were cheered, however, by a small daily progress ; and, by the 10th Sept., 1853, they had succeeded in gaining the northern face of Greenland, at a point never reached before. " Here the young ice froze around the vessel, and compelled them to seek a winter asylum, in which they experienced a degree of cold much below any previous registration. Whisky froze in November, and four months i❑ the year the mercury was solid daily. The mean annual temperature was five degrees below zero. This is the greatest degree of cold ever experienced by man, and their winter quarters were nearer the Pole than ever before occupied. " The scurvy was easily controlled, but the most fear ful as well as the most novel feature of the winter was a tetanus, or lockjaw, which defied all treatment. It car ried away 57 of the best Esquimaux sledge dogs, and was altogether a frightful scourge. " THE SEA-RCH. "The operations of search were commenced as early as March, the first parties, under the personal charge of Dr. Kane, crossing the ice at a temperature of 57 deg. below zero. Tho loss of their dogs obliged them, as an only alternative, to adopt this early travel. Many of the party were frost-bitten, and underwent an amputa tion of the toes. It was by means of these efforts that the expedition succeeded in bringing back its results. The parties were in the field as late as the 10th of July, only ceasing from labour when the winter's darkness rendered it impossible to travel. " Greenland has been followed by Dr. Sane, and sur veyed, with a coast line towards the Atlantic, fronting due north, until a stupendous glacier checked their pro gress. This mass of ice rose in lofty grandeur to a height of 500 feet, abutting into the sea. It undoubtedly is the only obstacle to the insularity of Greenland —or, in other words, the only barrier between Greenland and the At lantic. It is, however, an effectual barrier to all future explorations. This glacier, in spite of the difficulties of falling bergs, was followed out to sea, the party rafting themselves across open water spaces upon masses of ice. In this way they succeeded in travelling eighty miles along its base, and traced it into a new northern land. (This glacier is, we believe, the largest discovered by any navigator.) "THE NEW LAND. " This new land, thus cemented to Greenland, by pro truding ice, is named Washington. The large bay which intervenes between it and Greenland bears, we under stand, the name of Jr. George Peabody, one of the pro jectors of the expedition. This icy connexion of the Old and New Worlds is a feature of singular and romantic interest. "The range of the sledge journeys may be understood from the fact that the entire circuit of Smith's Sound has been effected and its shores completely charted. " But the real discovery of the expedition is the open Polar Sea. The channel leading to these waters was entirely free from ice, and this feature was rendered more remarkable by the existence of a zone, or solid belt of ice, extending more than 125 miles to the southward. (This sea verifies the views of Dr. Kane, as expressed to the Geographical Society before his departure.) " The lash i ing, of the surf against this frozen beach of ice was, we are assured, impressive beyond descrip tion. Several gentlemen with whom we have conversed speak of it with wonder and admiration. "An area of 3,000 square miles was seen, entirely free from ice. This channel has been named alter the Hon. P. Kennedy, late Secretary of the Navy, under whose auspices the expedition was taken. "The land to the north and west of this channel has been charted as high as 82 deg. 30 sec. This is the nearest land to the Pole yet discovered. It bears the name of Mr. Henry Grinnel the founder of the expedi tion which bears his name. " THE WINTER OP 1854-55. "The extreme severity of the previous season made it evident that the brig could not be liberated before the winter set in. She was fast imprisoned in the centre of a large field of ice. The provisions, although abundant, were not calculated to resist scurvy, and the fuel, owing to the emergencies of the previous winter, was deficient in quality. " Under these trying circumstances, Dr. Kane, wit'a a party of volunteers, in an attempt to reach the mouth of Lancaster Sound in hopes of meeting the English expeditions, and thus giving relief to his associates, passed in an open boat over the track of Baffin's travel, riding out a heavy gale. They found an uninterrupted barrier of ice, extending in one great horseshoe from Jones's to Murchison's Sounds and were forced, after various escapes, to return to the brig. _ " During the winter that ensued they adopted the habits of the Esquitnaux living upon raw walrus meat, and surrounding themselves with walls of moss. In spite of these precautions the scurvy advanced with steady progress ; but by the aid of a single team of dogs Dr. Kane succeeded in effecting a communication with the Esquimaux, miles to the southssard (the coldest drive, according to the Doctor, that be ever bad). By the system of mutual assistance the Expedition exchanged meat with the Esquimaux, and by organising a hunt re- lieved their party. " At one time every man of the Expedition, except Dr. Kane and Mr. Bonsell, were confined to their bunks with scurvy. Dr. Kane had to cook, cut ice, &c., and Mr. Bonsell had to do other menial service. By Provi dential interference the party escaped without a single death. " ESCAPE TO THE SOUTH. " The great belt of ice made it clear that no relief ex pedition from the south could reach the party in time to prevent their imprisonment for a third winter, which, with their deficiency of fuel, would have proved most disastrous, if not fatal. Under these circumstances, Dr. Kane wiF ely determined to abandon his brig, and attempt to descend to the south by a combination of boats and sledges. "In accordance with this view they left the brig on the 17th of May, the temperature at that time being 5 deg. below zero. They crossed a belt of ice 81 miles in diameter, dragging their boats behind them, and car• rying four sick comrades by means of a dog sledge. After a travel of 316 miles, with 31 days of constant " ' NAMES Or DR. KANE'S PARTY. " In the Release.—Dr. Kane, United States' Navy ; John W. Wilson, Amos Bronse.l, Dr. J. J.

"Of the third American Arctic Expedition, having in view, not the discovery of Sir J. Franklin, but of Dr. Kane's party, and of its successful search, the following is the succinct account. Brief as has been its absence, it has been further north in the Arctic Sea than any of its predecessors--the Kane party alone excepted : " The United States' Arctic Expedition, composed of the bark Release and steam brig Arctic, H. J. Hartstein, Lieutenant-Commanding Expedition, left New York May 30, 1855, arrived in Lievely, Isle of Disko, Greenland, July 5 ; coast e d a l ong th e shores of Greenland from Holstenburg to lat. 78 38 N., touching at Lievely, Hare Island, Upernavik, Haklityt Island, Cape Hadherton, and other places on the coast ; were 28 days boring through the pack in Melville-b a y, th ence crossed Davis's Straits, went up Lancaster Sound as far as Admiralty Inlet, where they were opposed by a solid pack, which entirely stopped their progress. " Hence they proceeded down the western coast, examining Possession and Pond's Bay ; were fast in the great middle pack for several days (to all appearance for the winter). In lat. 69 39 N., long. 63 30 W., spoke English whaleship Eclipse, of Peterhead, bound far Cumberland Inlet ; had taken three fish ; all well, and arrived at Lievely on their return from having entirely circumnavigated the north waters as far as the ice would permit. September 13—they there found Dr. Kane and his associates (having abandoned his vessel in the ice), excepting three who had died from exposure viz., Christian Oiilsen, Carpenter P. Schubert, and Jefferson Baker. Found at Lievely the Danish brig Marianna, Captain Ammondson, loading for Copenhagen. Sailed from Lievely September 18. " On the 19th boarded Danish brig Baldar, 37 days from Copenhagen, bound to Lievely ; or the 27th spoke English schooner Stella, from Sandwich Bay, bound to Plymouth. No traces whatever have been discovered of Sir John Franklin's party. The last winter in the Arctic has been unusually severe, many of the natives having perished from exposure and starvation, and others compelled to eat their dogs, the extreme cold having prevented the usual hunting expeditions. " 'The vessels are in a tolerably good condition. They have been in collision with icebergs and severely nipped in the packs. " The following is the list of officers of the bark Re lease :—H. J. Hartstein, Lieutenant-Commanding the Expedition ; Wm. S. Lovell, Acting Master ; John K. Kane, Assistant -Surgeon ; Joseph P. Fyffe Passed Midshipman : Ch ar l es Sever and V. R.

" 6 ACCOUNT OP THE HARTSTEIN (THIRD ARCTIC) EXPEDITION. - - - " The expedition in search of Dr. Kane was fitted out by order of Congress, which appropriated $150,000 for that purpose. It was composed of two vessels—the propeller Arctic, and the clipper bark Release. The pro. peller was built at Philadelphia expressly for the voyage which she has made. Her consort, previously called the Eringo, was purchased on account of her build, which was admirably adapted for the purpose for which she was intended. Both vessels were taken to the Brooklin Navy-yard, and there fitted up with everything invention suggested or experience dictated for the safety of the vessels and the comfort of those who had volun teered for the perilous, though noble, expedition on which they were bound. Provisions for a three years' cruise were made. " The officers, and, in fact, all attached to the ex pedition, formed a complement of very superior men. The Commander, Lieutenant H. J. Hartstein, had been captain of the steamship Illi no i s , o f the Ocean Mail Steam Company's line. Lieutenant William S. Lovell had been to the Arctic Ocean once, having been a fellow officer with Dr. Kane in the Advance of the expedition under command of Lieutenant De Haven, Lieutenant C. C. Simms, the commander of the Arctic, and all the other officers were men admirahly adapted to the ser vice in which they were engaged ' • and some of the crew had been previ ous ly t o th e PolarSeas.'

RAMSGATE, FEUDAL—During a gale of wind this morn ing front south-west, at 11 a.m., the fishing-smack Maria and Ann, of Colchester, was wrecked off the East Pier head of this harbour, and two seamen, James Downs and Joseph Arthur, drowned. The master, James Fisher, and two seamen, George Oran and William Bridge, were saved. The vessel went to pieces within one hour. The French gun-boat St. Barbe bad also a narrow escape, but is now, with two other French gun-boats, the Lance and Arquebuse, safe in port. PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY.—An awful gale blew the whole of the night and up to noon nearly to-day from the west south-west. The vessel mentioned yesterday as having sunk off the Spur Redoubt of Portsmouth town was a small ballast vessel, of the same port ; the man and boy in charge jumped into the skiff with only one scull, Which would have availed them little in such a heavy sea, but they were picked up by Lloyd's cutter (Messrs. Garratt and Gibbon, agents), Mr. W. Litchfield in charge, and safely towed into the harbour. The Baragnay d'Hilliers sailing transport was ordered away to Dept ford, but was unable to face the gale ; she made a start, however, on the weather moderating yesterday. The American Eagle, from London for New York, and .several merchant craft outward-bound put in at St. Helen's roads and the Motherbank for shelter and safety. PLYMOUTH, Friday.—A. very heavy gale from the south-west and west-south-west has been blowing all night here. At high water the tide in the Thames rose to an un• usual height, a heavy gale blowing from the south-west; the water was level with the coping on the Custom-house wharf, and nearly up to the new landing-place at Bil lingsgate. At the half-flood the current in the stream was so rapid UM, notwithstanding it was whatis termed a weather tide, the vessels in the Lower Pool and in Black wall and the Lower Reaches could scarcely be held by their anchors ; and on the ebb, the wind and tide setting the same way, several vessels, in the crowded state of the river, brought their anchors home, and came into collision, causing much damage to bulwarks, spars, and rigging. Several of the wharves on the south side of the Thames were inundated, and the masters of fishing and oyster smacks state that the low grounds and marshes on the Kent and Essex shores are over flowed. DR. KANE'S ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The following letter is from a contemporary : Sir,—lt would be premature, in the absence of Dr. ne states that to t "there the thestrange ie n eepenlCa,ne's charts, to criticise his letter to Mr. Peabody, published in your paper of thi s d ay , t oo severe l y ; b ut I wish at one placeot c e to D r. draw K e attention incon gruities which it contains. In water above the mouth of Smith's Sound (Pelham Point of Cape Inglefield)," where it will be remembered, Cap tain Inglefield stated that he Fa w open water ; and in another part of his letter he says, "the explorations of our party embraced the entire shores of Smith's Sound, and a new channel expanding from its north-eastern curve into an open Polar sea." Then, to mystify us still more, Dr. Kane adds, " Smith's Sound terminates in an extreme bay, and the coast of Greenland, after being followed until it faced the north, was found cemented to the continent of Ame rica by a stupendous glacier, which checked our further progress towards the Atlantic." _ A glance at a North Polar chart containing Captain Inglefield's discoveries will show the illogical nature of Dr. Kane's letter.
