AMERICAN ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—Auother Arctic
expedition is preparing to start next spring. Dr. I. I.
Hayes, the surgeon of the Kane expedition, will be at
the head of it, and it will be entirely sustained by the
scientific associations of the , United ,states, who, have
entered into it with great interest. The leading object
will be to complete the explorations commenced by Dr.
Kane, and settle the question of the open Polar Sea and
the other scientific problems connected with it. The
French Geographical Society, and other eminent sccie-
ties, have expressed a wish to contribute to the funds
for this expedition, but there is a very just ambition to
make it exclusively American. The amount required is
only 30,000 dollars. As there is no reason for following
the course of former explorations again, Dr. Hayes pro-
poses to push rapidly up the Kennedy channel, and
directly on towards the pole with as little delay as pcs-
ible.—Canadian News.
