NARRATIvEOF THE ASSISTANT NAVIGATOR
"A Chapter of Surprising
Interest.
THE NEWS IN WASHINGTON.
PRESIDENT GRANT DEEPLY AFFLICTED.

The country will hear with feelings of the
most painful interest the melancholy tidings
published in to-day's HERALD of the misad-
venture Of the Polaris, the failure of the las.
great Arctic expedition and the loss of its
heroic commander, Captain c. T. Hall, along
with, probably, portion of his crew. It is
almost two years since the Polaris left the
port Of New York on her voyage of discovery
to the North Pole, and s'never," in the words
Of her commander, twas an Arctic expedi-
Zion more completely fitted out" The Polaris
was prepared for her great work with an un-
paralleled degree of care and foresight. She
wanted for nothing. ALI that art and science
could provide was furnished, and she set sail
hinder greater variety of suspicious circum-
stances than perhaps ever blessed the start of
Rny similar enterprise. Sad to say, she may
never return, and the work she undertook to
do must be tried over again. From the
HERALD correspondent at Bay Roberts, New
foundland, we have received the following
dispatches concerning the sorrowful ending
10 the brave mission of Captain G. F. Hail.
BAY ROBERTS, via ST. JOINS, N. F.
May 8, 1873.
The steamer Walrus arrived from the seal
fishery at the port of st. Johns this morning
bringing news that the steamer Tigress had
come into Bay Roberts, eighteen miles from
here, having on board nineteen survivors of
Halls Arctic expedition.
The HERALD correspondent, who was one
of the first to learn the important intelligence,
Immediately started to Bay Roberts to learn
The full particulars. The Tigress was at
anchor and the rescued men were assembled
On deck They furnished the HERALD CORES
pondent with the
DEEPLY THRILLING NARRATIVE
pf the adventures of the expedition, the death
pf Captain Hall and the final escape of the
survivors, who were taken off from an iceberg
by the Tigress on the 3Oth of April last, in

the foe. The following are the names Of the

News.
WASHINGTON, May 0, 1873.
After the general matters relating to the
government had been discussed in the
presence of the President after his re-
turn to this city this evening, Assist
ant Secretary Davis, Acting Secretary
Of State, brought the following important
despatch under the notice of the Executive
from the United States Consul at st. Johns,
Newfoundland
THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
ST.. JOHNS, Newfoundland, May 8, 1879
The English sailing ship Walrus has just
arrived, and reports that the steamer Tigress
picked up on the ice at Grady Harbor, Labra-
dor, on the 30th Of April last, fifteen Of the
crew and five of the Esquimaux of the steamer
Polaris, Of the Arctic Expedition. Captain
Hall died last Summer. The Tigress is hourly
expected at St Johns
F. N. MALLOY, United States Consul
On the receipt of this despatch the Acting
Secretary of State at once telegraphed to
Consul Malloy to ascertain the names of the
seamen saved, that those having relations or
friends on board might be relieved from
further anxiety.
The expedition was fitted out at great ex-
pense, and under the personal supervision of
the naval officials at the Washington Navy
Yard. At the time Of the departure of the
Polaris her fate was predicted by experienced
naval seamen who have carefully studied the
charts, and pronounced the passage under
taken by Captain Hall as only waste of
money.
The news of the disaster to the Polaris af-
fected the President deeply, as he had hoped
that the enterprise of the government in this
direction would rebound to our national
honor.

fog has prevailed all day, and the same now con-
tinues The venture Of steaming out into sea
OF underlined reefs and sunken rocks, under the
present circumstances, could not be undertaken.
The full number OF dogs sixty required for the
expedition, is now made up. At the several
ports Of Greenland where we have stopped we
have been successful in obtaining proper food for
the dogs.

FRIDAY July 11-P NJ.
The stock market opened weak, noticeable mostly
in Harlem and Erie the latter being affected by the
London quotations. Shortly after the opening of
the Board general advance took place,
and the afternoon market exhibited as
rule higher prices and with certain e1-
ceptions closed firm. Western Union Telegraph was
conspicuous for an advance to So! on what seemed
to be a strong buying movement. Lake Shore was
well maintained, was also New-YOrk Central.
Northwestern Common was extensively dealt In
within the range of GSk and COZ. closing at 90.
Union Pacific ranged at 27!02S. G27s at the close.
Regarding this Company, the general opinion
of the Street-we know not how well founded-is
that the attorney Of the United States will not
press for a receiver, previously reported
would be the case. There was considerable activity
in Hannibal and st. Joseph stock, of which Boston
parties are said to have been large buyers to-day.
The business prospects OF the Company are reported
to be improving, and it is understood that arrange
ments have just been completed for q direct line TO
St. Louis which will largely increase the business
of the Hannibal and st. Joseph Company
without increasing its liability OF Indebtedness.
The Stock Exchange was to-day notified that, I'M
der the late injunction, Messrs. Morton, Bliss & Co.
were restrained from making any transfers of GER
tifcates standing in the name of Credit Mobilier
parties. The following were the opening, highest,
lowest and closing prices Of active stocks sold to-
