ARCTIC DIscovERIEs.-The Prince Albert has
recently returned to England, after a fruitless
search for Sir John franklin She was fitted out
at the expense of Lady Franklin, and although
unsuccessful in the principal object of her search
yet her voyage has not been altogether proftless,
as by her the discovery has been made that the
large extent of land called North Somerset, which
extends from about seventy to seyenty-four de-
grees of latitude, is not peninsula connected with
the continent by narrow Isthmus, as was sup
posed by Sir John Ross, who passed three winters
there, about twenty years ago, but an island, thus
apparently reducing the latitude of the west north
ern cape of the continent of America about three
degrees, or to about II. The expedition under
Sir Edward Belcher, who when last heard from,
was in Wellington Channel, embraced the only
vessels engaged in searching for Sir JohnFrank-
lin. It consists of the Assistance, and the steam
screw tender Pioneer; of the sResolute and the
steam screw tender Intrepid, and of the provision
vessel North Star. The expedition sailed from
the Thames on the 2fst of April last sf9e3

Genius and sIovenliness.

It has been the custom of ages to associate with
genius and intellect total disregard of outward
appearance. And this people have done by build
ing their conceptions on few isolated cases which
occur in every class and condition of mankind,
whether intellectual or the reverse, educated or
ignorant. If all the records which have come
down to US of Milton, who has ever known him
except arrayed with care and plainness, but with
scrupulous neatness! Who has ever told US that
his long hair was matted or ill-cared for It
would be contradiction in terms to suppose a
man all but divinely inspired, pouring forth
thoughts so holy, surrounded by neglect and slat-
tcrnliness. Shakespeare, too-was it so with him +?
And Byron, the voice of whose misfortunes and
fauIts-of his sorrows and genius-is ever blend
ed together-was he not man of scrupulous nice
ty, whose mind revolted from disorder, and who
was ever fastidous in his detestaton of slovenli-
ness p Shall these immortal spirits be brought
forward to support the imperfect theory that geni-
us must necessarily be associated with carelessness
of attire !-Erchange Paper.

Hayti.

Rev. w. L. Judd, who has spent several years
in Hayti, in a letter to the Boston Traveller,
thus speaks of the character of the people,
and the security for life and property among
them:-
81 hesitate not to say that believe there has
been the past six years less murder, less robbery,
and less ncendiarism, at Port-au- Prince than in
city of the same size, and during the same period,
in the United States. During this whole period,
and even longer, there has been but one fire in
that city of thirty thousand inhabitants Where
can parallel case be found in the United States
have travelled in the country at all hours of the
day and night, "o'er mountain heights and valleys
Iow, in lonely forests and amid cultivated fields,
and have never been treated with dsrespect by the
coarsest peasant or the rudest mountaineer In
these journeys have never been refused a nights
lodging at the poorest cabin, where from necessi-
ty or convenience chose to stop. And when
have called for the bill of fare, ! am almost uni
versally answered by the expression, "Just what
you choose" (Ce qur uous Uoulez me donaaea; OF
in the simple patois of the paysan, ca au voulus
baize nsoi.) And although it is the land of the
old buccaneers, and where the example of for.
eigners has exhibited more of the violence and
fraud than of gentleness and honesty, still from
Tibaron to Samana, and from Jacmel to Haytien
/ know of not single cove where ship may moi
enter, nor single mountain fastness where {
traveller may not pass in safety from robbers.

The Young Men of the Age.

Not long since we saw tear gathering in the
eye of an old man, he spoke of the past and the
present-of the time when he burned pine knots
upon the rude home hearth for light to obtain a
scanty education, and then compare the ten thou
sand privileges now scattered broad cast around
every door. "Oh," said he, in tremulous tones.
"the young men of this day do not appreciate the
light of the age they live in.' The words of the
old man made us sad, while at the same time we
felt mortified that SO many of our young men fail
to improve the advantages within their reach
They are ever continually muttering about their
lot, and pushing for positions where they can win
the reward without the sweetenng, purifying, en-
nobling sacrifice of toll The mist cloud enjoy
ments of day are eagerly sought after, to the ex-
cluson or neglects of the more honorable, intel
lectual and useful. In truth, few of our young
men know any thing of the value of the privilege
around them. s !7
