Captain c. +. Hall, the Arctic ex-
plorer, lectured last evening at Packer
Institute, Brooklyn, before the Long
Island II i~tOrical society. The object
Of The lecture was 10 explain the route
which Captain Hall proposes to pur-
sue on this his third voyage TO the
Arctic regions, and the object he pro-
NOSES To attain. namely, TO r@@"h the
North Pole. The first part of his aG-
dress was devoted to recapituation
Of his previous voyages, illustrating Is
he proceeded 10y a large map OF the
Arctic regions, which was suspended
a. the rear OF the platform. This part
.of the lecture he has often given before
in previous lectures. He believes his
previous five years experience of liv-
ing in thu frozen regions peculiarly
qualified him TO attain the object of
The present voyage. He has stood in
the spot where rest the remains OF the
last of Sir John Franklin's party, and

the question why he should have | cen

fear, therefore, of any scarcity of pro-

he proposed to make.
THE PROPOSED TRIP.
In the early part of 1871, or about
May, he will leave again, aud he will
never csase his labors until hc-has put
his foot upon the ninetieth parallel of
north latitude. He will go fist to
Newfoundland, and stay for about a
week to obtain some sealers to make
up his party; from thence he will pro-
ceed to the western coast OF Greenland,
to procure some skins and a supply of
sock-fish; but he will not, as he did
last time, make the mistake of getting
his dogs there. There is too much of
civilized blood in the dogs of this re-
gion, and they cannot stand the hard
ships that the dogs born and reared
father west can. OF all the dogs of
the Arctic cruntry, there are none
equal to the dogs of King Williams
island. They can stand the depriva-
lion of food better than any other breed.
They are bred To il. While puD-
pies they are kept almost i'm Il

Greenland across DAVIS Straits TO the
native place Of the Esquinaux, and
will there obtain some few dogs. about
