How His Exploration 10 the Arctic Regions
was Original ed and How IL Succeeded.
DIR. C. f. Hall, the Arctic explorer. whose
arrival at New Bedford is announced to-day, and
who has made, as is stated, important discove-
ries in regard to the fate OF Sir John Franklin
and his companions, sailed from New London,
Conn, in the ship Monticello, in the summer of
1864. He had been home but ten months from
an exploring tour of two years and four
months, passed in the Arctic regions, and the
discoveries then made rendered him anxious to
return.
The last expedition, from which he has just
now returned, begun as it was in the midst of
our civil war, did not excite that attention which
il otherwise would, but a number OF gentlemen
of science and wealth assisted in aiding his pro-
iect. among whom was Mr.. Richard H. Chapel,
of the firm of Williams & Havens, who gave him
and a family of EsquimauX which he had brought
home with him on his previous trip, free
passage in the Monticello, and in addition
carried his boats and entire outfit without
charge Over $1,000 was contributed by Cap
tain Henry Robinson, OF Newburg, and valuable
Instruments were provided by Professor Bache
and Mr.. Taglabue of this city. But the NEST
liberal and earnest protector OF the new under
taking was Mr.. Henry Grinnell, of New York,

The Moving OF FreestOne Hotel I'm
Boston,
[From the Boston Traveller, Aug. al

[From the Boston Traveller, Aug. al
One of the most Difficult. undertakings
connected with the widening of fremont
street was considered to be the moving back
OF Hotel Pelham, that large freestone brild.
ing on the corner of fremont and Boylston
streets. For many days past the most care
full arrangements have been making toward
this end, and to-day they were completed
and the building started on its course wesl
ward. Tho entire basement had been laid
bare, the foundations slightly raised, and
large numbers of small iron rollers inserted
under them, ami these rollers will move
upon a stuut foundation wall with straps
of iron bound to its top The moving force
is some sixty or sevety jack screws, turned
by human power and capable of moving
ten hundred thousand tons, which is the
weight Of the building.
1t is expected however. that only eighty
per cent Of this force will be required to
overcome the friction, and when once star
ted that fifty per cent. will BIZ found suffi.
cieut. Last evening the perfection of the
arrangements was tested, and the immense
structure moved nearly an inch, but the
power was found INADEQUATE, and this morn
ing more screws were added. About eight
O'Clock all was in readiness to put it IN mo-
ton in earnest. Some fourteen workmen
were detailed to work the screws, aud 9th
ers were stationed AZ all points in the base
ment to watch the rollers and for other pur
poses. AT the sound Of whistle from the
superintendent one turn Of the screws was
given and then the eff ct noted. The whis-
tie again sounded, another turn made, and
hen came another pause. This was contin
ued for about half an hour, aud at the end
Of that time the building was moved an inch
and little over half.
The rollers have TO be arranged every
two inches that the building 10 moved, and
alb, ut 0 o'clock a stop was made for that
purpose. All seems working well, and no
doubt of tne success Of the undertaking ex-
stN in the minds Of those connected with IT,.
The occupants Of the building are engag ed
In their usual ayOcatiOns. Large crowds
have watched the operations Of thel work.
men all the forenoon, and a squad Of poles
are on hand to maintain order and keep cit
sens from strayiug into dangerous latitude
At noon to-day the building had been
moved nineteen inches, the length Of the
screws. II these are replaced in season II Is
expected thai the above distance will be in-
creased to three feet by night-fall.

The Board of Trade aud Trade
Generdiiu.

MessrS. EdtCrs:
Not long since there sprung into existence
in our midst body calling itself BOARD
of Trade" the special object of which was
to regulate prices. / opposed this measure
on the ground that it was unnecessary, un-
just and injurious; unnecessary because
trade will regulate itself the world over
unjust because all values are relative and
do not admit of arbitrary adjustment and
Injurious because offensive. The only result
of this wise effort was the weekly publica-
ton of most absurd list Of prices, digni-
fed with the title of - Price Current" which
for some me past has adorned your columns
and served the single purpose of fuddling
the brains of all who read 1T. This having
expired, new orIer Of things has been in-
augura ed, end the parties most active 10
the scheme for unity Of action are now
equally jealous in the opposite extreme.
Leading articles are daily blazoned forth in
flaming show bills at suca marvellously low
prices thai honest oOuntrymen stare bewil-
dered AZ the bargains offered, afraid to buy
lest they should find a cheaper and still a
cheaper store. 1t seems to be enough for
them if thy can prevent their neighbors
from making profit, regardless Of the con.
sequences to themselves.
Now, ask, is there no remedy for this
We have no need of Boards of Trade or any
kind combinations. Let every mel chant
mark his goods at a reasonable and living
profit, and not make himself liable TO toe
suspicion that mis- affairs are desperate
or that he intends to get paid for his bait
by subsequent overcharges. Away with
such low and dirty tricks, and let us have
business co lducted on fair and honorable
principles. If We do not, the merchants OF
Bristol will continue to bear the unenyiable
reputation they now have, and business will
remain as it has been, unremunerative.
