UP IN THE ICE.
The following, dated October 9th, is a trans.
lation OF information received at the navy de-
partmcnt from A. Peter man, OF Gotha:
A telegram, dated October 81, 1871, which
announced the return of Capt. Wcgpecht and
Lieutenant Payer, of the Austrian army, states
that in September, an open sea was
found from forty-two degrees to sixty
degrees east of Greenwich, to the northward of
seyenty-eight degrees north latitude. The
northernmost point reached was seventy-nine
degrees north, on the meridian of fortv-eight
degrees east Here we found the most fayora-
Die state OF the ice toward the north pole, with
a probable connection with the open sea north
of Siberia towards the east. This appears TO be
the most favorable ri t1,. ortl,
DIR. Petermau remarks: "The last part of this
telegram l cannot understand, but | have
reason to assume that Garland, which was dis
covered last year by Count Zeil and Theodore
Won Henghir, extends southwark to seventy
ightdegrees twelve minutes north" The eX-
petition was made in a small sailing vessel,
and at the expense of the officers of the United
States steamer Saco, ordered from the European
to the Asiatic fleet, via the Suez canal.
SENATE EXPENSES.
The estimates of appropriations required TO
meet the expenses of the United States senate
for the fiscal year ending June 3d. 1873, have lust
been prepared by the secretary of the senate.
The amount called for is S65S 800; this includes
the salaries and mileage Of senator's, clerical
force of the senate and other expenses. The es-
Inmates for the fiscal year ending June 30 1873,
are $1,000 less than for like period in 1872, and
would have been $4,000 less but for the fact
that senate librarian had been recently APP
pointed at salary Of $1,000, and an assistant
engineer at S1400.
