~ The first news from Capt. Halls new
expedition comes to hand by the arrival Of
the ship Congress at st. Johns, n. f., from
Disco. The report says " The Congress
left St. Johns August 8, and anchored at
Disco on the 10th. On the trip she passed
hundreds Of immense icebergs, but encounter

came perpetual, The sun sank behind the
horizon but short time, and the twilight
was sufficient to read by all night The dis
plays of the aurora borealis were extremely

arches, columns, scrolls, and spiral stair
ways We found the PolQris at Disco but
six day in advance. Captain Hall with eight
Esqumaux boarded US a mile from the har-
Dor. Capt. Hall and his men are in good
spirits and sure of success. Some trouble
had arisen between Capt. Hall and his scienti-
fc associates as to the special object of the
expedition, which threatened to be serious
but by the judicious and firm interposition of
Capt. Davenport, who laid down the naval
law and stated that the paramount object was
getting to the north pole harmony was resto-

afternoon, amid three cheers for the Congress
Capt. Hall, instead of going RIA Jones Sound,
will keep to the west side of Smiths Sound,
as there are ice-drifts southwesterly, which

open, he hopes to get through this year"

The sight that met the eye told how hard the
people must have lahorcd. Seats enough for the
accommodation of both schools, and many besides
had been erected. A stand built at one end

After the literery exercises had commenced,

~ The long expected meeting of citizens
of New York to protest against the Tammany
frauds, and to take action against the thieves,
was held Monday evening, and fully answered
the expectations which had been entertained
Of it. The speakers represented all political
opinions, and the purpose to give the meeting
a non-partisan character seems to have been
very successfully carried out, The addresses
made and the resolutions adopted furnish con-
vincing proof that the popular indignation
which the exposure made by the Times few
weeks ago excited, is not going to blow
over - so easily as Mayor Hall ycntured to
predict would be the case.

~ 1t begins to look most decidedly as
though our navy had put its foot in it ;" in
the Corea 1t will be remembered that the
beginning of the trouble was the alleged NAL
treatment of the shipwrecked crew of the
ship General Sherman. La 1865 the United
States steamer Wachusett visited the Corean
country to make inquiries after the crew of
the General Sherman and it is now said the
Corean government wrote letter to the com
mander of the Wachusett which was very
concilatory and friendly in tone, but he had
sailed before it was received, aud it is owing
to the miscarriage Of this letter that the at.
tack on the Coreans the present season. by
our navy, has been made. If this story is
true, the United States are placed in very
unfortunate position, aud one which will Justly
tend to greatly lessen our influence in the

Rev Henry Highland Garnet, leading
eolOred preacher of New York City, tells us
curious story of Mr.. Holley, who is now at
the head of the Episcopal Church in nayt.
Mr.. Holly had been writing so successfully
for Masonic journal in this country, that
the editor, who was ignorant of his color, sent
him word that he would like to have his pic
ture, to copy it into the magazine. Mr. Ho.
ley kept dark" flor while, and then, when
he had written all he had wished to, sent his
picture to the editor. 1t was not reprinted
and he never heard anything more from that
magazine.

A curious illustration Of the probable loss
Of bonds to which no clue can be obtained,
where not registered, is afforded in the recent
count Of the old Rutland and Burlington first
mortgage bonds. 1t is more than four years
since holders Of them were advertised for,
and il is eighteen months since the controversy
which yexed the Vermont courts for so many
years, as to the status Of those bonds was de.
cided and their settlement provided for. Out
of 100000, the whole issue OF these bonds,
sl,756,600 have passed into the control of
the Rutland Railroad for settlement and con-
version into preferred stock. OF the s43,-
400 still left out, the owners Of but $4,000
have been ever heard Of, and ii is not unlikely
that the greater part of the rest have been
ost or mislaid, or perhaps destroyed as worth
