The ARaLIc ExPED1TIoN.-Capt.'
PatersonA IaTfc, whaler, who had been
in PondaA Bafin's Straits, this past sea-
son, states thai he shad bartefed with all Issqui-
maulx there thR copper bolts and o galvanized
rod Of iron about 81 feet long. They are
now in Capt. Paterson's possession, aud have
jeen seen by our informant. The EsquilnauS
made signs that they were taken from a ship
which had beeR pressed on shore in a gale ef
wind by the iGS and that she slept /" there,
meaning that she was there still. Captain
Duchess, Of the ship Dundee, saw o patent
copper So 'oain the hands Of the Fsquimatet;
he wishe barter it, but the natives msde
off with arting with the article. fAll this
confirm Information obtained fr6m Hull,
through. ya ~. 3. Gator, who, writing to
Capt. SheraA Osborne, states that the Esqui1
maux Of theN sest side Of Balin'sl Bay, have
been observed to have sleages this season OF

in answer to questions put. ASSERT lat two ships
have been discover by thenl7 one is on the
beach and broken up by the y but that the
other vessel is perfectly sound and merely ct
in some invest. of Ponds Hy-either{ I
rally or Prince Regents ibet, but mos y
badly the former.
Capt. Penny, who, as viii as Capt. Parker,
Of the 1%rulove, wintereH about Cumberland
Straits in 1876, was puzzled by constant
rumors of ships being somewhere to the north
west Of his position. Capt. Penny fancied at
first that these reports referred to Franklin's
ships, locked up in King Williams Sound, but
now we understand what gave rise to these
ruimors, being nothing more than two more of
Sir Edward Belcher's squadron that have float
cd from the place where they were so prema-
turely abandoned, to bear. witness against the
necessity of any such wholesale expenditure
of her Majesty's ships.
From the vessels having been abandoned in
pairs, and the I~fesolute and Intrepid being
originally fully 200 miles from the Assistance
aud Pioneer, there seems reason to suppose
that the Intrepid, whether floating Or wrecked.
would never be very far from the position in
which the Rcsolnse was discovered by the
Americans, and that the two ships now in the
hands Of the Isqaimaux are the Assistance
and Pioneer. In confederation of the idea
that ships beset together and drifting in the
sea would not be very far separated, we need
only point to the great winter drift of Cum'r
DeIiaven's two vessels. the Advance and
Rescue, and that Of the Enterprise and inves-
tigator, under Sir flames Ross, in lSA9, and of
the Terror, under command Of Sir George
Back, still earlier. [London United Service

w esteru Rivers.

Mr.. Benismin reported bill in the Sen
ate, making appropriations for the improve
ment, by contract, of the Mississippi, Mis-
souri, Ohio and Arkansas rivers.
The bill proposes 10 have the Western
rivers divided into convenient sections, and
then advertise by contract, for the removal
of all Instructions 10 the navigation of each
section. whether from stumps, snags, sunk
en- wrecks, rocks, logs, or Of whatever ma
ture, either in the main channels leading to
the various ports and landings. 1t provides
that no money shall be paid on any contract
until the entire work undertaken shall be
completed and inspected by suitable officers
Of the Typographical corps Of engineers
The bill includes various appropriations,
which do net exceed $l50,000 per annum,
for five years. For that sum the committee
have ascertained that contracts could GER
tainly be made, by which all these Western
rivers could be kept entirely clear of the OBJ
structons at present SO destructive 10 life
and property. At the end Of five years
when these rivers are to be delivered up tc
the Government entirely free from obstruc.
tons, continuous appropriation of one.
third of that sum will keep them clear.

Banks and Banking.

The most important work now before the
Legislature, is the Bank question. Over
twenty applications for Charters have been
laid before the Legislature, and a joint Com
mittee is making General Law, 10 which
all charters shall conform. Under the a
mended constitution ten Banks may be char
tered, with an aggregate capital OF twenty
millions of dollars. Ii seems TO be pretty
well understood that the whole number I'D
missable under the constitution will be
chartered, each bank TO have the privilege
ofthree branches; this will give ample bank
ing facilities, ii the Banks and Branches
are located at points where the stock can
sume seven of the parent banks; ST. Joseph
Hannibal, Lexington, or Cape Girardeau the
remainder, should no other points establish
better claims. This, at least, was the uu.
derstmding, at Jefferson City, few days
since. There seems TO be general diSpo-
silion TO SO guard the banks as 10 render
the note holders secure, under any clrcum
stances; no wild catism will be tolerated
but Banks will be compelled to 20 into op
GRAFTON on solid specie basis.
Whilst other towns and cities have beer
agitating the subject Of getting Bank, OIL
Branch, Glasgow has said nothing, relying
on the fact Of her ability TO take stock, ant
furnish business requisite to ma e it prof
liable investment; intending, at the proper
time, to present her claims, backed by al
array Of facts and figures which it wa
thought would command attention. This il
being done, and we bespeak for our appica
tion such favor only as these facts and figures
may entitle us TO.

didates for Governor and Congress from
this District.
The meeting was organized by calling

Of seven were appointed to draft resolutions
expressive of the sense Of the meeting. Our

had to trim our finger nails TO keep our
selves company. No speech-=not word
spoken-no one called on. Iexpected TO be
edited with rich rehash Of modern De-
mocracy but was doomed to disappointment.
There we sat and waited, patiently it is true,
until the committee returned.
