ANOTHER AnCrrc EXPLORING ExpEDrrroY.--It has
generally been supposed that, prior to the
cent discoveries Of Captain McCntock, by which
the fate of Sir John Franklin and his associates was
most clearly ascertained, all further ATTEMPTS at
exploration in that quarter had been fully abandon
ed. The Boston Journal, however, announces the
organization of further enterprise of the kind
and that the expedition proposed by Dr. /. l. Hayes
the surgeon OF the Kane expedition, is actual
ly being organized and will probably start early
next spring, under the command of Dr. H. himself
Such is his confidence in the correctness of the
views entertained by DR.. Kane respecting dis
coveries about the North Pole, that he proposes to
undertake, in his own person, the verifcation
which nothing but series Of extraordinary acci-
dents that could not have been toreseen prevented
his commander from completing. All the leading
scientific societies of the United States have ap-
pointed committees, and foreign societies have cx-
pressed sympathy and made subscriptions. The
expedition, however, is to be strictly American,
a,,ltI h. 4. l.,
tions. The amount required is about $50, 900, and
liberal contributions have already been made All
our scientific societies actively enlisted in the
enterprise, and have appointed a committee to
promote it.
