and season permit D.. L. BRAINE,
Commander, United States Navy.
The above despatch was received from Com
mander Braine, commanding the Juniata.
Lttleton Island referred to is abb out sixty miles
north Of Northumberland Island, where the
party rescued from the Polaris supposed they
had left her. 1t is little south of the life
boat depot of Dr. Kane, in 1853. The proba-
bility is that the Tyson party were mistaken as
to the locality of their separation from
the Polaris, and that it was really Littleton
Island instead OF Northumberland Island. 1t
is hardly possible that after the separation,
the Polaris. in her disabled condition, sue
ceeded in any way in reaching point sixty
miles further north.
It is understood that orders were sent to
Commander Braine to continue the search for
the crew of the Polaris.

THE PoIARIs' CREW.
There must be another painful suspense
before the Polaris mystery can be finally
solved, but the following data at least leave
the hope that everything connected with the
unfortunate expedition may be ultimately
cleared up. As yet, however, the fate of those
who remained on board the vessel after Captain
Tyson and his party were separated from then,
on the ice foe is unknown.

THE TRANSFORMATION QUESTION Friday,

dressed the Committee strongly urging that the
great natural facilities for trade and commerce
OF which Portland was possessed, shonld recon-
mend the claims of that city to them when
they came to make their report. In the first
place, be urged the geographical position of
Portland as affording not only great facilities
for communication with the West and North
west. but also with foreign countries Its har-
Dor was admirably adapted for the reception of
grain and o,her articles of commerce. but it
had also especial facilities for offering for con-
sum ption the grain of the county. They were

the country BY the canal which was in pro-
cess of construction. they conld put the cargoes
alongside of the vessels, which would be in
water thirty feet deep As to their harbor, it
was deep enough for any vessel, even tor tine
at one time. Again, there was no ice in the
harbor during the winter as in Boston, the
reason being that they were within three miles
of the open ocean, and as ice did not gather in
the open sea, SO they were in great measure
protected by their proximity to it.
Then they had TIE greatest facilities for erect
ing warehouses and elevators. He admitted
they were not at present provided with eleva-
tors to carry on q business which they had not
got but they had abundant space to erect them
