The POLAR SEAs.-The world stands
a fair chance for considerable acquisi-
ton of knowledge with respect TO the ice
bound secrets of the arctic circle. The
loss, detention. or indomiiabe perseve-.
rance of Sir John Franklin, which is ur-
ging him through to Behring's Straits,
and thus concealng him from the world,
promises TO be fruitful Of arctic explora-
ton, undertaken too in a spirit of cmula-
ton between the two great nations Of the
earth, and which can hardly fail Of i'm.
portant developments with respect to the
arcana Of the pole. Never, before, have
the northern regions been invaded by
more gallant and determined navigators;
never have any who preceded them been
spurred to duty by more honorable Iur-
poses: and never was there a more ra.
tional prospect of discovery than that in
view of the several expeditions now pen
ctrating the debths of the polar sea.
There arc at this time in the vicinity
Of Melville Island the expedition under
the appointment of the British Govern
ment, commanded by Commodore Aus
tin the "Grinnell Expedition" under
the flag of the United States, and in
command of Lieut., De Haven and that

II is stated that an improved system
of telegraphing has recently been intro
duced in England. BY it, person
wishing TO send IL message goes TO the
telegraph Office and writes the words
himself, the instrument being so simpli-
fled that any one can operate upon it,
At the other end of the line, when the
message is about to be sent, a sheet o.
paper, chemically prepared, is folded,
put into an envelope, sealed and then
placed in the instrument. The message
sent, is, by the operation, printed in plain
letters inside Of the sealed Envelope, and
thus secured its contents are known only
to the person sending the message and
the one who receives it-instead of as
now, being also known to the operators.
The patent has been brought up in Eng
land by the Telegraph monopoly there.

THE McDONOUGH BEQUEsT.
PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY MoRriNG, AT
No. l95 Thames Street.

THE McDONOUGH BEQUEST.
The New Orleans papers continue TO
devote large portion of their columns
10 speculations and facts relative to the
will Of Mr.. McDonogh. The Courier
says:
''It is said that the heirs of the late
John Nc Donogh, at the time of writing
his will, consulted the most distinguish
ed and learned counsel in our city, as to
the legality ofevery clause oft This
we have from lawyer who was the le-
gal and confidential adviser of Mr.. Nc
Donough. The parties, therefore, con
testing the will, are apt to have an up
hill business oft"
Posthumous Grandeur.-Howevcr close
and parsimonious Mr.. McDonough was
during his life, he appears to have been
alive to posthumous glory and ostcnta-
ton, for, in all his dispositions in refer
cnce to the establishment of charitable
institutions, he provides that the edifccs
shall be OF an elegant and solid charac-
ter, "ns they are intended to last for a
ges." Now. il is well known that, dur
ing his. long life, Mr.. McDonough was
never known TO build deccn, house.
Most of the houses erected by him arc
miserable rookeries, in which il is dan
gcrous to reside. They were built by
his own slaves, clumsy mechanics,
But, looking to the greatness and gran
deur beyond the grave, Mr.. McDonough
had purchased some years ago the cost
ly and elegant building of the Union
Bank, at the corner of Royal and Gus
tom-house streets, which he designed as
the office to be occupied by the cxecu
tors and commissioners OF his estate
He leaves directions TO that effect in his
memoranda to his executors. This build
ing was selected by Mr.. McDonogh on
account of its durable character being
built of granite, as his views looked to
permanence and perpetuily. When
asked if he would sell it, his reply was,
'it is consccratcd building, and cannot
be disposed Of"
The New Orleans Delta says:
"The principle executor, Mr.. Chris
tian Rosctus, has been the lawyer and
counsellor for Mr.. McDonugh for twenty
years, serving him with greatabiity and
fidelity. Frequently, when Mr.. Rose
lius would complain to Mr. McDonough
Of the small fees allowed him for his ser
vices, the rich old man would reply by
limiting that he would remember him in
his will. This remembrance consisted in
making him executor, with some fifteen
others, with the prospect of having all
the work to do, and even il commits
sions are allowed, Of receiving but u
small sum.
