Opon Polar Sea,

DR. Kano's Arctic Expedition is ono
of the most interesting books of the
times 1t exceeds in romance any novel
recently published, and va can most cor.
daily commend it to our fri ends, as one
of the best books for a winter evenings
reading in the family, which can be pro.
cured.
The main result of the Expedition was
the discovery of what is supposed to be
an open Polar Sea, hundreds of milos to
the north of solid ice, in some $50 of
North Latitude. DR.. Kane himself did
no. see the water, but small party sent
forward BY him reported such discov.
cry, on their return. The Doctor him
self saw, however, what is called the
water sky" in the distance which
among Arctic Explorers is regarded as
an unmistaksable index of an open sea.
There would be no doubt Of the exist
ence of this open sea, did it not appear,
that many Of DR.. Kane's predecessors
in such explorations had reported such
seas in other ATTITUDES, which on farther
exploration have been found to be fabu-
lous.
Lieut.. Maury, a thoroughly scientific
man who has devoted his life to the in.
vestigation of such subjects, says that
the existence of such sea is suggested
by reason. In recent lecture ho dis
courses as folloys.
"The waters Of the two oceans are the
same, though there are many more riv.

The Constitutional Convention.


The Constitutional Convention Assem-.
bled at tho Court House in Montpelier
on Wednesday, the 9Th inst, and organ
lied in the morning, A purpose was
early indicated to question the Consti-
tutional right Of the Council of Censors
to call the Convention in the manner it
did,aud to take no notice whatever of tho
proposed amendments. And this was
the course finally pursued. The amend.
ments, proposed by the Council, were not
considered by the Convention, though it
was called expressly to act upon them,
and for no other purpose. Some reso-
lutions were passed under the pressure
of excited feeling, artfully famed for
the occasion, intended only to express
in substance the Indignation, which the
body felt, because the Council had called
a Convention of delegates from Counties
instead of Townships. A small minori-
ty contended hopelossly against the ex.
aggerated feeling which prevailed, claim
ing that the Convention ought to pass
upon the amendments, and that its &C.
ton upon any other subject was without
authority, entitled to DO respect, and
would be condemned by the sober judg
ment OF the people. The majority, while
denying that the Convention was legally
called together, did not choose to draw
the logical and practical conclusion from
its own doctrines, that the members had
no legal claim to compensation for trav.
ell and attendance, but complacontly
pocketed their pay and departed for
home. mostly Saturday morning. Q

SINGULAR INSTANCE OF AFFECTION IN
Doc Charles Hueston, man we'll
known on the Alabama river, but tho
las, few years resident of California,
was killed by the explosion of a steam
boat near San Francisco few months
since. A noble Newfoundland dog
owned by him escaped injury and drag
ged the body of his master to tho shore.
The dog was sent home to the mother of
the deceased residing in Perry county
Alabama. On being shown daguerreo-
type of his master, tho dog Immediately
recognized ii, and commenced licking it,
and sending up the most pitcous bowls.
Since that time he has refused all food,
and means almost constantly. When
last heard from he was in dying condi>
ton, and is probably dead by this time

EXTENSIVE DuRGLARY,- Two Hun
DRIED DOLLARS REWARD The Fur
Store of n. Allen & Co, Of this place was
broken into last night and costly furs to
the amount of from one thousand TO ff
teen hundred dollars stolen ihercfrom.
The robber effected an easy entrance by
breaking pane of glass in one of the
doors,which was unprotected for the timo
being by blinds, putting his hand in and
drawing the only bolt by which the door
was fastened The furs taken were for
the most part Ladies fur capcs of mink
aud stonomarten, ranging in price from
fifty to one hundred and fifty dollars a
piece. The cheaper furs were undsturb-
ed and the mode Of selection showed that
the robber had some acquaintance both
with the arrngment of the goods in tho
store and Of the comparative value Of
different kinds Of furs A reward Of tlCo
hundred dollars is offered for the dscov
cry of the goods and detection Of the
thief, and active measures are on foot to
secure the same ends which we have
strong hopes mill prove successful.
The burglary is heavy one, for place
like this and the occurrence shows the
necessity Of close attention to the effect

ton of our property-Burlington HcS

The Sonate is occupied in the discus.
sion of the right of Mr. Harlan to a
seat as Senator from Iowa. 1t appears
that tie time for joint assembly, for the
election of Judges of Supreme Court
and of Senator was fixed by the Iowa
Legislature at given time. The As.
sembly met and elected two ofthe Judg
os which wsro unsatisfactory to tho Dem
ocrats who constituted majority of tie
Senate. The assembly then adjourned
to given time; but the Senate manag-
ed not to be in session when the ad
journed time arrived, with view to de-
feat the election. The Republicans,
however, went on and elected the remain
ing judges aud the senator. Tho validi-
ty of this election is tho question. Prac.
tically, it is of no consequence how it is
decided, as the Iowa Legislature is now
republican in both branches and is il
session If Mr.. Harlan is turned out,
he will be Immediately reelected.
In the House great sensation was
produced in consequence Of an article in
the Times charging the members with
corruption and bribery in regard to the
passage of somo laud bills. Mr.. Payne
of North Carolina announced in the
course of the debate, tina. he had hoen
approached, and had been offered $500
for his vote On particular bill. A Res
olution Of Inquiry was passed and a
committee has been raised to investigate
the subject.
A bill has been introduced by Senator
Seward, authorizing the Secretary Of
State, to contract for laying sub.ma-
