following:

| DR.. Ia brought dispatches from Dr. Hayes for
the committees at Boston, New York, Phfladelphfs
and Baltimore who aided in fitting out the exped-

] Copenhagen, and they sheuld have reached their
destination ere this time He also brought letters

This forenoon cur reporter had an interview with
! DIR. L., but he declines to give any particulars
respecting the voyage, under promise TO DR..
Hayes, who did not wish 10 have his dispatches
| anticipated by other accounts. We learn, how
ever, that the weasel exceeded the expectations
entertained by her filters and made remarkably
quick passage.
At the time he left, everything seemed favorable
for the prosecution Of the objects of the expedi-
| ton another year. DR.. l., accompanied by a corr
voy furnished by the Danish Government, went
sailed for Copenhagen. Afterwards he visited
Paris, and he came from Europe Ia the City Of
Edinboro, arriving home on Thursday last.

was always thought by me to be of greater inter-
est than any other. ! have nov Witnessed such,
| and must say that never did participate more
devoutly in what Iconsider the most solemn scene
of my life. There, before US, was the g sheeted
dead, Z lying amidships, on the gang-way board,
all in readiness for burial The whole ships COM
pany, save a solitary man at the wheel, assembled
in solemn, sorrowful silence around our departed
friend, to pay our last respect to him. The time
that had been set for services now arrived BY the
request of Capt Buddington, whe was bound by
strong ties to 'sCudargo,n had consented to take
an active part in these services. therefore pro-
ceeded to make such remarks as were deemed pro-
/ per for the occasion. These were succeeded by
i f1vHn rf0f nuc
4 from the Masonic Manual,n after which read q
prayer from the same excellent work. In this, all
seemed deeply, solemniy interested. During these
services, the breezes of heaven were waiting us
on-silently and speedily ON to the North. At o
given signal of the Gaptan, standing at my right,
the man at the wheel luffed the ship into the wind
down into the deep graye-the abyss Of the ocean
sunk the mortal part of Cualargo,' n the noble
Esquimaux, who was returning 20 his natal land,
when overtaken by Death. An hour after, the
aGeorge Henry had been given to the leading
wind, turned my eyes back to the grave Of Gud-
largon a snow-white monument, mountain size,
and of Gods o,on fdshioning, was over it.
! Our voyage thus far has been attended with
calms, fogs and headwinds, thus proonging it TO
thirtynine days. The usual time may be set down
at from twenty.fve to thirty. We arrived here in
Hosteinberg Harbor on the morning of July 7th.
The Rescue, of your first expedition in search Of
Sir John Franklin in 1850, arrived midnight Of July
! llth The George Henry and Rescue parted com
pany the third night out, during heavy wind but

vessel made its course direct here.
My health is excellent-better than ever. ]
!, enjoy myself beyond measure.
In this connection must speak to you OF the
| cooperation receive from Captain Buddington
who has the command of both the George Henry
n and Rescue. If could have had the choice out oi
ten thousand men-exeellent navigators in the
waters of the North, and withal good and true
man, could not have selected better one than
Capt. Sidney J. Buddington. The house of Messrs.
Williams Haven, whose generosity in behalf Of
, my voyage to the North should ever be remem-
bered know well that their interests in the George
Henry and Rescue are in the hands of one of tie
most careful seamen that comes here to the Arctic
| seas. #hs
1t gives me pleasure, also, to communicate re.
specting the attention and hospitality extended to
me by Governor Elberg of Hoisteinberg.
He in company with the European ladies of Hol
steinberg, have spent several hours on board the
George Henry, and in nothing do they seem more
interested than in examining the records of the
first and Grinnell Expedition of 1850, '5l and 1853
'54 '55 as written and illustrated by the iamented
Kane. Happily, lhad these volumes with me. The
Governor was also interested in the work Of Capt
, (now Sir) F. L. McClintock. At a tea party givef
by the Governor on the evening of July 10th, Twas
invited to give general statement of the accom-
plishments by McClintock in his last voyage here
to the Arctic Regions. All were amazed with The
joyialness of Governor Elberg, in reading before
the whole company present Mcclintock's account
of his gift of some Goals to " the priests wife, who
was blue with cold.n - The priests wife, Mrs
Kier, was one of the party and seemed to enjoJ
the joke quite as well as any of us.
! must take the only copy Of McClintock have
, with me- as there many statements in it that
wish to investigate personally when on King vii

during our stay here, and know of no part OF the
