SCdlSu OI Odpte ANOSSs "ho us SOiHkIoHHO"S3 left New ork for Montreal, on Wednes- day. He was received with great kindness at New Y York, and excited much interest. Every facility was afforded him, and the steamboat Ohio placed at the service of himself and suite, to convey them to AL bany. There were thousand citizens assembled to witness the sailing of the Ohio, and at the instant of her parting from the foot of Courtland street, three hearty cheers were given in honor of Capt. Back, which was responded to by himself and the numerous company on board.- The N. Y. Albion, gives an interesting account of the proposed route as explain ed by Capt. B. at "dejeune la four chette," given by the British Consul to a number of distinguished guests, among whom was the Hon. Daniel Webster. :.
 Capt. Back, and his party will proceed at once to the great Slave Lake, and in- stead of penetrating to the Arctic Sea by either of the former routes, will pursue a new and more easterly track. The coun- try beyond the lake just named, is un- known to European travellers, but the In- dians describe large stream called the Thloo-ee- -choh, or great fish river, which flows due north, or nearly so,and discharg- es itself into the sea about the tooth meri- dian. By this river it is Capt. B's inten- ton to proceed, and from its mouth will sail in search of the lost navigators. He will first shape his course to Point Turn again, the seat of his former excursions, when with Sir John Franklin, (unless he should find point of land described by the Indians, running long distance to the north, in which case he will proceed at once te Regents Inlet.) Having reached Point Turnagain, he will diligently search for any traces that may exist of Capt. Ross having been there, and should none be found, he will then launch his adventurous barks in the bosom of the Arctic Sea, and stand across to Regents Inlet, to the spot where the Fury was lost in Capt. Parry's expedition. It is not generally recollect- ed, we believe, that Capt. P. directed all the provisions and stores saved from the Fury to be landed and carefully covered up with sails and tarpaulins, in the event ot another voyage being made. This fact, however, was well known to Capt. Ross, and it was his intention to proceed to this spot, and there re-supply himself with those great necessaries for the prose secution of his voyage. To this point, then, it is obvious Capt. R. would exert every effort to arrive, and it is here that Capt. B. arr denIy hopes 10 gain the wish-for tidings of his long lost friend.
 Should it appear, and the fact can be ca silly ascertained, that Capt. Ross has been there and not at point Turnagain, the con- clusion will be Irresistible that he has been carried down by the ice into the bight form ed by Melville Peninsula and the norther- ly edge of the continent. This. blight is probably studded with islands, shoals, &c. and there perhaps Ross may be found fro- zen up, or his vessel wrecked, and he with his companions living with the Esquimaux. Should such be the fact, and should Capt. Back there find him, the imagination may easily conceive the tumultuous joy of such a meeting. We will not attempt to de- scribe such a scene in such place, and under such circumstances 1; nor to depict the gratitude of enc, and the happiness of the other, as they rush into each others embraces. They are feelings which mon- archs might envy, and will be enjoyed in their full luxury, not only by the two gall lant and intrepid chiefs, but by every indi- vidual who are partners in their fate. But, turning from this exciting and glowing pie ture. and supposing that Capt. Ross, has not penetrated the Inlet and arrived at the wreck of the Fury, Capt. R. will abandon the main design of his voyage and turn to the object of science connected herewith. In pursuance of this part of his plan he will pass down and survey the coast of Melville Peninsula, as well as that part of the north ,ern edge of the continent between the Pc. ninsula and the mouth of the Great Fish river which he descended, and thus make out the whole coast from Regents Inlet tC Point Turnagain, which together with the discoveries of Sir John Franklin, will make known the entire shore from the goth tc the 15O,h degree of longitude. Another object of Capt. Back. will be to discover the magnetic pole which is known to exis on the west coast of Melville eninsnla.- Having completed these observations Capt. B. will retrace his steps, and we hope revisit New Y ork, about three year. hence. Hunt after q Deer.-A publican named Hunt, of Philipsburgh, Warren CO.,, N. J publishes the annexed in Trenton paper
