have said, it doubles itself in 25 years The rate
of increase. therefore, is four per cent per an

England. They have dwiudled and dwindIed,
until they have almost reached stand still.
Their annual increase amounts to but one-tenth
of one per cent! They eonid not double them
selves. at that rate short Of foaf hundred years!
The South's fugitive slaves, which New Eng
land is known to shelter and free annually,
without compensating their owners, Gndepend-
emily of the large numbers she aids in escaping
TO Canada,) more than accounts for her entire
annual increase, and consequently shows her
native negro population gradually wearing oul
and wasting away.

Arctic observation-disclosures tn. uonor..

The little briggs, the Advdnee and the Rescue,
which sailed from this port few days since in
search Of the long absent English navigator, were
waited on their voyage Of mercy by the cheers and
blessings OF thousands who assembled TO sec them
of. But there is evidently a misapprehension ON
the part Of the public 10 tohes e potor lies Of
getting up and fitting out this expedition. IL IL
neither private charity, nor public enterprise,
but union OF both. Mr.. Henry Grinnell a retired
merchant Of this city, and millionaire bought the
vessels and htted them up, at an expense, as we
learn, Of some fifteen thousand dollars. The Gov
eminent supplied officers, men, stores, and every
conceivable thing which might contribute TO the
success and comfort Of the expeditions the P,us0's
stores alone amounting TO fifteen thousand dol
lars or more than the cost Of the vessels. And as
Mr.. Grinnell o,cns the vessels, which may be re-
turned TO him, possibly, within six months, unin'
jured, the real outlay on his part will not prove
very heavy after all
IL IL Tar from our purpose 10 detract from the
credit due 10 the private munihcence OF one OF our
highly esteemed citizens; but truth and justice re-
quire that the honor Of this Arctic expedition should
be divided between Mr.. Grinnell, who started the
enterprise, and the United States Government,
which promptly furnished the men and means ne
cessary TO carry IL out
In regard to the success of the expedition have
but little faith. Indeed there is a rumor that Sir
John Franklin has already found his way out OF
the Arctic regions, and is now on his way home 10
London by way of the Sandwich Islands whe-
her this report be true not there s every prob
ability Of his discovery and recovery, IL alive be-
fore Mr.. Grinnel's little vessels reach the polar
seas ne there are less than ten English vessels in
the same pursuit. Animated by the nobler impul.
Of humanity, the love of adventure the literal
rewards offered by the English government, and
sympathy for Lady Franklin, there would be no
difficulty in raising feet of hundred ships either
in England or America, 10 go in search Of the lost
navigator.-Ne,c York Zee. Mirror.

the present building denied accommodation 10 nu-
merous applicants, especially TO strangers in our

wa, therefore commenced, and is now in progress
of completion, at the corner of and 3D. streets
Although means have been contributed with great
iberality by members and friends of the church,
they inadequate Several ladies and gentle
men, distinguished eminent vocalists and per-
formers, have therefore most kindly offered their
services for a concert 10 aid the fund Ii is hoped
and believed that their offer will meet generous
response from our citizens and visiters. The new
church will add ornament TO the city, and Increased
religious accommodation to its visiters. The Con-
cert will, IN Itself afford rich musical treat and
abundantly compensate the donation given through
it TO a religious object.

officers; and their friends, to whom they were en-
deared by their excellent virtues and social quail
ties, two companions deeply regretted and univer
sally beloved.
RESOLVED, That we sincerely sympathise with the
families of the deceased, for the late bereavement
they have sustained in the loss Of relatives 80 true
80 NOBLE and so amlaDle IN all the relations OF lfe
and that tender to them warInest feelings
of sympathy in their state of bereay ement in which
they have been placed by this act of Divine Prov-
dence.
Resolved, That copy of these resolutions be for
warded to the families of the late Lieutenants
Browning and Bache, and that we wear the usual
badge Of mourning for thirty days.
ReSolped, That a copy Of these resolutions be

IMPORTANT DIscovERy-The Dsbats publishes
the following letter from Consta ntinople: 1.-THE am
bassador Of France has received information Of an
important discovery made in the ncighborhood Of
Erzeroum Of an extensive bed Of coal, specimens Of
which have been distributed 10 the consular body in
the locality The province of Erzeroum has hitherto
been without oombustible materials, and the only
fuel Of the poor IL the dried dung Of the cattle The
country, though very productive, is excessively
cold, and the thermometer descends as low 25o
below zero. The importance Of this discovery may
be, therefore, readily appreciated and il is proba-
bly, but the prelude TO other and more valuable ones
for foreign scientific men have already explored
the mountains of that part Of Turkey, and have
positively stated that the soil, bearing an analogy
TO that OF the Altai in the north Of Russia should
contain mines Of gold and silver. The Turkish
government, il lie said, intends to have the mine
worked by the governor Of the province, who will
pay considerable revenue 10 the state.
