days bearing through the Pack in Melville Bay,
thence crossed Dsviss Straits; went up Lancaster
Sound far Admiralty Inlet, where they we're OPP
psssd BY solid pack, which entirely stopped their
progress Thence they proceeded down the western
coast, examining Possession and Ponds bays. They
fast in the great Middle Pack for several days
TO all appearances for the Winter. In lat. 6s.39
North, Ion. $3.50 West, spoke English whale ship
Eclipse, of Pe'erhead bound to Cumberland In
let had taken three fish, all well, and arrived at
Lievely on their return from having entirely circum
navigated the North waters as far as the ice would
permit. Sept. 49, they there found Dr. Kane and his
associates having abandoned his vessel In the ice,)
excepting three who had died from exposure, viz:
Christian Oblesen, carpentsr Pierre Schubert, and
jefferson Baker. Found at Lievely the Danish brig

discovered Of Sir John Franklin's party. The last
Winter in the Arctic has been unusually severe, many

UNCERTAINTY OF THE FATE OF DIR. KANE
Dr. Kane set out on bis second voyage in search Of
Sir John Franklin, With the stern determination to
brave the most formidable obstacles in the proseou-
ton Of bis noble object. And it was this fact together
with the weIknown inhepidty of the gallant CON-
mander and the long silence as to his fate that gave
rise to wide spread anxiety for the safety Of Dr.
Kane At length this feeling found practic express
sion through the General government in the sppro-
pration of $780, 600 for the fitting out Of squadron
t. proceed 70 his relief Teo vessels. tss bark Ia
lease and the steamer Arctic the former under the com
msnd ofLieut Hartstein and the latter commanded by
Lieut. Simms, with officers and crews, the best that
tie service could afford formed the Relief expedition.
Tbese vessels were admirably adapted for contest
with the rgors of Arctic voyage. and it is not too
much to say that former expedition # the kind was
go well appointed in every respect for such work.

AT o'clock yesterday afternoon the bark
Release, in company with the propeller Arctic,
hove too OFF the quarantine, where they were
boarded by the health officer, and permitted to
pass up to the city. The appearance Of these yes
ses coming up the harbor was the cause Of consid-
cradle excitement on shore, and on the decks OF
those ships which they passed in their course-the
news having by this time been circulated that DR..
Kane an6 bis party we're on board. Many OF the
steamers plying across the harbor steamed close
to them in order to give their passengers an oppor-
tunity of welcoming the returning wanderers with
cheers; and from the decks and rigging Of ships,
from the forts, and, in fact from every available
position, three cheers were swelled and prolonged
until the vessels neared the Battery, abreast Of
which they moOred and now remain Our report
srs here boarded the vessels, and found DR. Kane
and most of his company on board the Release, in
excellent health and spirits. The following nara
tive Of facts may be relied on as correct state
ment of the circumstances connected with this
expedition:

Der Of spectators upon the piers and in the rig

pture Of the expedition aud to encourage the brave
men engsged In it by their hearty cheers. AS the
vessels moved, salutes were fired from Governors

port The British flag was hoisted at the foremost,
and the American pennant from tbs mizzen-gaf.
The free.masons ensign square and compass, G.,
and hand in hand was suspended forward Of the
peek. and the American flag was displayed on the
quarter As the gallant Advance and her Gems ,rt
were passing Governors island the Union came along
side and those on board gave three cheers for Henry
GriDne and three for the officers OF the ex2ed
ton, which were cordially responded to.
Dr. Kane took out with him his own extensive
library, beside large number of scientific volumes
ano apparatus The object of the expedition, next to
search for Sir John Franklin, was scientific discovery
In the Polar regions. The ship was furnished with
supplies for three years, which it was supposed could
be made 10 las. FIVE six years, BY hunting and fish
ing TIE vessel was lined throughout with felt aud
cork to keep Ter warm and furs and buffs'o robes
were supplied for the men in sleeping and for wear
when exposed to cold. There were twenty-five guns,
including rifles shot-guns and one blunderbuss be-
side pistols and other weapons. In addition to these
there was supply Of snow shoes and articles with
which to make friends Of the natives.
