DR.. KANE's ARorIC DIsCovERIEs.-Ar recent num-
Der of WILMER SmITHs European Times, received
by the Arabia, publishes the following paragraph
calling in question the accuracy of nearly all Dr..
KANE's alleged Arctic discoveries
"At meeting Of the Royal Geographical Society,
DR.. Rink, Dane, read a paper in which he chal-
leuged the accuracy Of nearly all the alleged discOy
cries Of Dr. Kane on the North Coast Of Greenland
The lecturer maintained that the line of coast the
American coast of Bafin's Bay, as high as 80 Of
latitude, sketched in DR.. Kaues chart, was
fictitious and founded on observations reported
to have been made from points where it was impOs-
sble TO have seen the land. Many other portions
Of DR. Kane's narrative we're disputed, aud it was
roundy asserted that the American was hOaxed by
his steward These views we're endorsed by Sir
George Back, Captain Collinson, and DR.. Armstrong.
Sir Roderick Murchison vas in the chair, but he
said nothing on the disputed questions"
WASHINGTON News Washington, April 29.-Mr.
Toomb's bankrupt law is being actively considered
by the judiciary committee, and it will probably be
presented to the Senate early next week. 1t is

dduals, corporations, chartered banks, and any
association of persons authorized to issue notes. bills

will be retroactive The retroactive feature will be
guarded so as to ex lude all who, subsequent to
January last, or any other time, have made assign

the debts exceed $1,000 and the person declared
bankrupt is entitled trial by jury. All transfers

any CREDITOR endorser other person any preference
or priority over general creditors to be sued for such
amount as assets of the bRnkruptee.
With regard to banks and other issuers Of paper

PROGRESS OF THE New PARTY.-The recent move
ment or alliance with a view of formings new party
progresses famously. The New York Independsat,
heretofore strongly in the republican faith, comes
out furiously against the Crittenden Montgomery
bill, and the Richmond Wing is equally explicit in
favor Of that bill and Of reopenng the slave trade.
These extremes betoken difficulty in holding the
ends that they shall be considered as distantIy
related TO the centre-as legs and arms belonging to
the same body. The Fhig wants TO eeuaze the
500 600 yearly northern emigration by an equal i'm
portation into the South from Africa. The Rhig
argues that otherwise the high prices of the extreme
southern products viii draw the slaves a way from
Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri, aud
leave those States without labor. In reopening

A Chicago paper says !:

As long ago as the middle ofJanuary, expressed
the opinion that but small proportion Of the corn
crop of 1857 would be found st for the market This
opinion was based upon personal observation and
the testimony Of great many farmers from all parts
of Illinois and Indiana. Every week confirms what
we then said. So well, indeed, is the fact under
stood, that the army contractors prefer the Of
1856 whenever they get it. and absolutely refuse
to take any Of 1857 until it has passed most
rigid inspection. Indeed, one statement says that
no corn at all Of the crop Of 1857 will be taken
However this may be- tits certain that the quantity
Of really sound corn that has been received here this
spring has been alarmingly small, and so it will
continue 10 be.
An active demand prevails for sll the merchant
able corn that be had and there are more buyers
than sellers The best white corn from the Southern
part of the State readily commands so and 504c on
board and several boat loads have sold at these rates
to day. Other lots Of white and yellow from the
region Of the Illinois river in parcels 900 to 900
bushels sold at 48C board AZ. 46R and Ace sfoat
and 49, As and 44c, respectfully, in store The diff
ference in prices is caused solely by the difference
in the quality Of the grain.
The Cincinnati Commercial of the LIST inst, says
Potatoes continue very dull and are selling at lower
rates than have been accepted for them in this mar
ket for many years. We understand q lot was sold
yesterday at the extraordinary low rate Of sixteen
cents per bushel A farmer, who has q lot with
commission merchant in this city, has instructed
him. we understand that in case 20c per bushel can
not be obtained for them TO distribute them among
such poor people as may need thom. The crop last
year was immense, and the supply far beyond the
wants of the country; large quantities have been
exported to Philadelphia and Baltimore during the
spring. and some to Washington City.
