The AMERICAN ARcTIc ExpEplTIoN.-The cxpe-
diton so nobly conceived by Mr. Henry Grinnell,
of this city, for the Of Sir John Franklin and
his brave men from horrible death, is going for
ward with energy. Two vessels have been pro-
cured for the purpose, one of one hundred and
forty four tons the other of ninety-one TONS and
fitting up for their perlous enterprise by such
additions to their strength and other appliances for
the safety and comfort Of officers and crew, as the
case admits of Lieut.. E. i. De Haven, who be-
longed to Capt. Wilkes's Antarctic expedition has
volunteered to take the command of the present one
and Passed Midshipman S. p. Griffin, is to be
second.
These gentlemen and others well qualified to
judge, being of opinion that it is Of great importance
to the proper conduct and success of the expedition
that it should be placed under naval laws during
the term of service agreed on, Mr.. Grinncll has pc
titioned Congress to authorize the enlistment of
seamen from the navy, to a number not exceeding
thirty, they receiving from the Government their
usual pay Also that suitable rations for the expe-
dition may be supplied from the Government stores
The deep interest manifested by the President
and the natural anxiety felt by every generous
mind for the rescue Of the brave men who, in the
prosecution of an object connected with geograph'-
cal science, have met with disaster which pre-
vents their return to their beloved country, and
exposes their lives to imminent peril, forbid the
thought that Congress will long hesitate to grant
their reasonable requests To throw the whole bur-
den OF such an expedition upon one man, even
to permit him to bear it, would be unworthy of this
great nation, every citizen OF which, we suppose
has ought TO have the same interest in promoting
the expedition which Mr.. Grinnell has. And we
beg to add, that the expedition should before
long be on its way, it is Of great importance that
whatever Congress intends to do in the matter
should be done quickly. The calls of suffering hu-
mainly should not be classed with ordinary bust
ness, in such way as to subject them to postpone
ment by reason Of the peculiar attitude of certain
national questions.-N. Y. Jour. of Com.

READY-MADE CLoTHISo.-There is probably a
larger assortment Of clothing at OAK HALL, Bos-
ton, than in any other establishment in the
try; and Mr.. Simmons sells il at prices which defy
competition. His facilities give him an advantage
over all competitors and he sells at price which
is less than that for which most others afford to
make clothing.
