denly ended. A letter from Hamburg dnted
September 4, says the pioneer steamer Queen
Of the Isles, which had started to make pro-
liminary observations in the Polar Sea, broke
her machinery while getting under way, and
the time needed for repairs stops the voyage
to SpitzbeTgen this season. 1t is also init
mated that the owners of the vessel fniled 10
communicate to the crew the nature of the
service on which they were to be employed,
so that the men were unprovided with warm
clothing adapted for the Arctic regions. hav-
ing nothing with them but their summer

The promoters Of the enterprise, however,
not dnunted by this inauspicious beginning,
propose to resume their efforts next spring.
DR.. Petcrmnnn, the German SaUa,a, whose
interchangeable zeal has won a fair degree OF
support for his unsupported theories, has OBJ
tanned permission to make this exploration
of the Arctic seas by way of SpitZbergen,
contending that that route is the nearest and
most accessible in every way.

before that representing the capture Of his

painful feelings. Abd.el. Kader begged the
person in question TO cehse this rnaneuvre,
which he did not understand. The person
then stood back, and the Emir, at once dis
covering the cause of the interference, turned
to his suite and said, ""Ah! gentlemen II I
