ant steamer; while the North Star, within reach,
no doubt, OF parties from either vessel, remains in

Pacific side. the Plover we may presume has ad-
vanced to Point Barrow. We have no intelli-
gence Of Mcclure, since, under press of canvas,
ne stood for the pack ice off Icy Cape, in August
1850; nor from Colnson since he passed Beh-
rings Straits, in July of the following year. Our
Consul at Panama iadeed writes that Collinson
had been spoken by some whalers, but without
details; we know not what credit is to be attached
TO the report. Mcclure supposed he should be a
bic to reach England by way of Barrow's Straits,
some time in this year, either by navigating his
vessel through the unknown sea which stretches
north of the American continent, or by quitting
his ships and making for Melville Island or some
point nearer home. Stirring tidings of some kind
will, most likely, reach us in the course of few
months
