TAIN ROSS.

(From the Montreal Herald of April 10.)
Captain Back, Dr. King, and their companions,
arrived in this city yesterday, and have taken up
their temporary residence at Mr. Goodenough's Ex-
change Coffee.house, where we have no doubt they
will meet with all the attention and kindness
their worthy host and his amiable family can render
them.

The reception of these gentlemen in New York
was of the most gratifying description—a compli-
ment to themselves, to science, and to philanthropy.
They partook of dcjeunc a la fturchette at the Bri-
tish Consul's, at which were present a numerous
assemblage of gentlemen of that mercantile metro-
polis, amongst whom were Sir Charles Vaughan,
Gideon Lee, Esq., the Mayor of the City, the Hon.
Daniel Webster, &c.
The Government of the United States honoured
itself also by refusing to receive the Customs' du-
ties on the transit of the articles brought by the ex-
pedition through its territories—an act which will
be duly appreciated, not only by every subject of
the British Crown, but by every lover of science
and of his race throughout the world.
We last night received a note from Capt. Back,
from which we most cheerfully quote the following:
—" Nothing would be more agreeable to me than
to acquiesce with your wishes, and endeavour to
express the deep sense of gratification which I shall
always feel for the warm and enthusiastic reception
that awaited the arrival of ray little party atNewYork.
" Many were the letters also directed to me from
different parts of the Union, expressive of the in-
terest which the writers took in the fate of the ex-
pedition; nor can I. forbear mentioning the very
spirited and handsome conduct on the part of the
Directors of the Hudson River Steam-boat Asso-
ciation, who tendered the Ohio for our conveyance
to Albany." In the name of our country, and of
our adventurous little band of philanthropists, we
tender them thanks. We have seldom been so
wrought upon by such acts, so honourable to human
nature, so happily influential upon all that contri.
butes to the welfare of the human family. May the
reception of this little band in New York—so de-,
ightful, so animating—be the forerunner of find
success in their heroic undertaking. They have
brought with them, we doubt not, the prayers and
good wishes of our countrymen and enlight, ned
Europe; they have r, ceived those of the U ited
States, wafting them to thrir destmed object ; and
-hall not we unite, who are almost at the I..st stage
of eivdiz ttion where they rep ,se, in aiding and en-
couraging them io thrir noble pursuit ? We need
not urge the consideration—we know our citizens,
and we know that they will do their duty.
Captain B.,ck informs us that he will remain here
mall the Lakes are bulb. aently ofg.n to a..1(1.:).;t
,iassage; and that, in the mean time, mike
arrangements for engaging thirteen Canadians, equal
'o the important task this expedition requires.
