EXPEDITION IN Search or DR.. KANE.

Time was when the discovery of the North west
Passage was the pet project of tho age, and the bold

in adventure and daring in their explorations within
the Arctic Circle for the honor Of first opening at IA

has grown Notwithstanding anxiety for the s'e Oh ono
Of the best and bodest adventures that ever entered
the Polar Sea To release the brave FRANKLIN ana MS
Gallant companions from their icebound prison and re-
store them to their friends and to society was the cher
ished resolve of the British Government. That noble
aim was shared BY the prncey heart OF our own GRIN
srLL; and. unaided and alone, he equipped two
vessels and dispatched them upon the same
humane mission. The next year they returned,
after an unsuccessful cruise. But among the
officers was one who though physically almost an infant
had lions heart and faith In the ultimate success OF
his mission that no obstacles could overcome. That
man Yves Dr. KANE. He soon imbued with his own
nrdcnt hope the mind of HsNRr GRISNELL and IN
1853 that gentleman again fitted out the Advance and
dispatched her to explore the Arctic regions under the
command of DIR. Hare Tho prctractcd absence OF
that expedition together with th0 return within the last
sew months of the numerous English vessels sent in
,earch Of Sir John Franklin, has given rise to wide
spread anxiety for the safety OF DR.. KANE entire
iy alone in the icy solitude This feeling has become
more Poignant since Dr. RAGS report of the melan-
eholy fate Of Franklin aud his party, and at the ill.,
stance Of the Press and the public the Federal Gov
e'nmen' have appropriated the sum Of $4,000 for
zoe nlthe out and support OF an expedition to effect
