Discovery OF The Polar Continent.

SAN FRANCIsCo, December 6.-HOno-
lulu dates of the 18th of November
have been received. The Honolulu Adj
vertiscr publishes an account OF the
discovery of a land hitherto unknown
in the Arctic Ocean, by Captain Long,
of the steamship Nile. 1t is thought
this discovery will prove to be the
Polar Continent so long sought otter.
The past season has been the mildest
ever experienced by the Oldest whale
men. Captain Long was able to reach
latitude 73deg. 80 min. He examined
the land attentively along its entire
southern coast, which. he states, ap-
pears to be quite extended, and has a
mountain near the center, about longi-
tude lSO deg, resembling an extinct
volcano, and estimated to be about 3OOO
feet high. Captain Long named the
country Urongelrs Land, after Rus
sian explorer. The most southern shore
point OF the coast is in latitude 40 deg.
81 min., and north longitude 7S deg. ~
min. East. He named Cape Thomas
after the man who discovered it.
The south east he called Cape Harron.
The Nile sailed several days along the
coast and approached within hfteen
miles of the shore. The lower part OF
the land was free from snow and appear
ed to be covered with vegetation. 1t
was impossible to tell how far the land
extended northward. Ranges of noun
tains could be seen until they were lost
in the distance.
