ANTARCTIC CONTINENT.

a letter from Captain Auliek, of the
navy, is published in the Washington pa.
pers, which seems TO explain the hitherto
lncomprehensibi disagreement between
Lieut.. Wilkes. OF the U. S. exploring ex-
petition, and Capt. Ross, of the British,
on the subject of the continent discovered
by the former. 1t will doubtless be re-.
membered that declarations of Captain
Ross have iound their way into the news
papers, that he haG sailed over the latitude
q longitude assigned.by Lieut.. Wilkes to
part Of his continent, and found there
nothing but water. On the other hand
Lieut.. Wilkes has declared that the land
referred TO was no part Of his continen,
hut an alleged discovery by an English
navigator named Belamy, the non.exls.
tence Of which he had himself ascertain
ed, before Captain Ross arrived in the de-
signated locality.
The explanation, il seems, is this
Lieut.. Wilkes, after satisfying himself
that the land of Bellamy was nil and az
ter his discovery OF the Antarctic CONT
nent, sent TO Captain Ross n copy Of the
chart in which both were laid down but
in laying down the land Of B,llamy he
neglected TO aflix thereto the name of IT'S
dlscoverer, or TO dstiDguishit in any way
from his own discoveries. Captain Ross
therefore. very naturally supposed thai
the supposed Bellamy land was gwen Il
him by Lient. Wilkes part Of the Ant
arctic cont,nen tand his own track wen
directly over it, his unavoidable eonclu
sion was that Lieut.. Wilkes had fallen in
to a grevous error.-N. Y. Gem.
