THE SALE OF THE P NJ S. S. COMPANY Ut
appears that Vanderbilt has not purchased this
Company's steamers &C., after all. A telegram
to the Union says his proposition to give ST.
900, 900 for seven of the Company's steamers,
and certain other property, was promptly ac-
cepted by the company's President but that
when the arrangement of the details come to be
settled by the Committee of Conference, Wander
bilt insisted that each individual member of the
Pacific Company should hold himself personally
responsible not to establish any opposition line
which might interfere with his interests: that
they should, furthermore, secure him against
opposition from any other parties. To this the
Pacific Company replied that no such guarantee
would be given; that it was al unreasonable
afterthought aud that th ey repudiated the con-
tract entirely. The committee of conference was
summarily discharged, and a resolution adopted
that all future propositions be submitted to the
full Board of Directors.
War TO the knife is now declared, and unnre.

ANOTHER Arctic SEARCH. The Boston
Journal says when the intelligence of Captain
MtClintock discovery Of the fate of Sir JOIN,
Franklin was received, the opinion was quite
generally expressed that no more expeditions
would OF onght to ne sent To the North Pole:
but contrary opinion seems to be sprnging
up, caused by the belief that some of Sir Johns
men still survive among the Esquimaux.-
An English Journal the Medical Times sug
scSs that ,he British government should dis
patch another expedition to search for any
possible survivors. The subject is exciting
public attention in England and it is not
Improbable that the English government will
be induced TO make an ,o,t to unravel the
mystery which hangs over the fate of the i05
men who left the ships after the death OF
franklin, with the hope Of discovering some
Of them yet alive An interesting fact which
supports such a hope is said to have been
yhcit.d from the ESquimaux by Captain
McClintock, through his nterprctcr..n amcly,
that when the Esquimaux meet with strangers
who can be Of no use to them, they give chem
food, and desire them to go away but if the
men are mechanics, and useful, as many OF
the flaHAim party were, the natives retain
them, and will not Let them so.
