The North Pacific Exploring Expedition.
The United States survey and store ship John P.
Kennedy sails this morning for the China seas
She Is the fifth and last vessel of the North Pacific
Exploring Expedition, the first four vessels having
sailed on the llth instant from Norfolk. The Ken.
nedy goes via Cape de Verde Islands and the Cape
OF Good Hope to Batavia, On the Island of Java.
Being fast saler, it is supposed that she will
reach Batavia the port of rendezvous ahead of the
other vessels OF the squadron. She goes in double
capacity both as surveying vessel and as a
store-ship; and being strong and swift, we'll man.
ned and equipped, with photographic and other
instruments, and under the management of able
and skiiful officers, will doubtless prove of great
service in forwarding the jecs of the expedition.
1t ia anticipated that during the winter these yes
sells will be employed in taking soundings and
making charts of the mparatively unknown seas
about the Northern Chinese coast; curing the sum
mer they will transfer themselves to the whalin q
grounds in aud around Behring's Straits the
principal object of the expedition being to procure
reliable charts of the dangerous and comparatively
unknown portions of the North Pacific, which are
I frequen,ed by our whalers.
The objects of this expedition being entirely dis
tnct from that of the Japan squadron, it is not
probable that the two will meet, unless unforeseen
emergencies should make it necessary to increase
the force under command of Commodore Perry.
The duration of the cruise is uncertain, depending
upon the extent of duty to be performed, and upon
the future action of Congress. We understand
that the appropriation of enc hundred and twenty
thousand dollars has been already expended, and
| further appropriations will be needed.

ANOTHER New TEIaIroRy The Union late.

ASoTHER New TERsIroRy The Union lately
published a communication from Henry s. School
craft, esq. describing section of country known
by the name of Aih0rra. He says 1t is an attruc-

lying Immediately west of the Rocky Mountain
in mild temperate attitudes to which, for the pur
pose of distinct allpson be applies the aboriginal
term. The area is about Fifty miles broad, aud lies
parallel to the Rocky Mountains for dist4Hee q
several hundred miles. IL gives rise TO both OF The
main and numerous sub atauents of the Columbia
river. Ii is high plain, which is cut through by
these ahuens, of most fertile character, bearing
trees, and in some places high grass; and, while
the streams create abundant water power for lum
Der and grain mills and machinery, they arc free
or nearly free, from inunGation of their banks
This district probably comprehends twenty FIVE
thousand square miles, and if its capacities of pro
