ARCTIC EXPLORATIONS.
Arrival of the Pandora ut Plym outh-In
feresfing Inefails Af the Gruise.


NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-THE Herald's ca BILE
special reports the arrival at Portsmouth, Eng,
Saturday, of the Arctic exploring steamer Pam
DORA She left Disco on the 9TH of August and
Upernayik on the 18th, crossing Melville
Bay without mishap, for the usual fields Of
of water was foand at Casey Islands. No signs
of the government exploring expedition were
visible Capt Younk decided tie steer for Lam
caster Sound, where she encountered the first
ice foes. With great difficulty the Pandora
forced her way. Despite the ice she succeeded
in traversing the the entire length of Barrow
Strait reaching Beechy Island Aug 18th. She
there found the yacht Mary, which had been
drawn upon the beach in 1850 by Capt. Ross.
The yacht was still standing with both masts
upright. The storehouse built for the benefit
OF sailors or castaways of ice bound vessels
was found in state of terrible confusion. The
destruction of the stores was accomplished by
polar bears, as tracks of these animals were
visible in every direction. The headboards
over the graves of Sir John Franklin's men
buried there were still in good state of pres
ervation. On the 18th the Pandora steamed
for Peel Strait, encountered vast fields of pack
ice, which made the passage a most difficult
and dangerous one. The Pandora steadily
worked way onward and soon passed the furth-
est point reached by the Fox when McCntock
was in search of Franklin relics. Soon after
reaching that point the Pandora neared King
Williams Land, thus navigating a sea which
no ship ever traversed before, except perhaps
that of Franklin.
The Pandora steamed down the coast of
Prince of Wales Land and encountered most
delicious weather. The atmosphere was soft
refreshing, and the bitter cold of the arctic re-
gion was soon replaced by warm air currents
and an expanse of water. Intense excitement
prevailed among the officers and men of the
expedition, as it was expected important results
were at hand. On reaching Pouquette Island
saw the edge of solid pack of ice, which ex-
tended across the strait from side to side in one
unbroken expanse.
This pack blocked the entrance to Bellot's
Strait. The Pandora stayed at this point till
the 18th of Sept, when, finding no further pro-
gress possible, itlwas decided useless to 90 into
winter quarters and far better to return next
year. The return journey was full of difficult
ties as the ice was rapidly forming and the
passage of the Pandora was constant series of
exciting scenes and narrow escapes from NOV
ing ice fioes. finally escaping through Peel
strait, the ice still rapidly forming and accumu
lating the steamer at length reached Carey
islands In safety. From Melville Bay home.
ward the voyage was almost uneventful. Capt.
Young reports that from the prevalence of
north winds there is abundant promise that
Capt. Mares will prove successful. Pandora

employed at Dix Island, who had come off to
attend Maggie Mitchelps performance in this
city, left the wharf at South Thomaston in 9
wherry to return to the island. They were &C
companed to near the mouth of the river by
another boat and when its occupants last saw
them they had got up sail and were standing
out toward the island. This was the last seen
of them, and Saturday night when the work
men returned from the island it was discovered
they were missing. To-day search was made
by several whale boats, and the oars and rud-
der of the missing wherry picked up. The
young mer drowned were both only sons. There
is a rumor that two other men are missing
from Dix island and supposed to be drowned
but this may refer to the same calamity.

SANITARY DRAINAGE.-At q sanitary
conference lately held in Birmingham, Eng,
paper was read setting forth the method
pursued by ore of the artisans. and laoorers'
building companies, in order to attain the
most perfect sanitary security practicable,
ana especially III the matter of drainage. The
method, i'll this respect. consists in avoiding.
invariably, the carrying OF drains under any
portion of the house. Instead of this. drain
j. arranged at the backs of two rows of houses
running lene thwise in the gardens. and into
the main drain; the drain pipes are also led
rom the backs OF the houses instead OF be-
meath them and hence into the street. as is
generally done in the after modes of house
drainage. This plan has been carried ont by
me company in the houses they have built in
various cities, and ~ is likewise being
adopted near London al the Shaftesbury es-
tate, where some 800 houses have already
been erected and 400 more are in process OF
construction. II is said that the death rate
IN these houses, compared with that of a
similar number OF ordinarily drained houses,
has been much less.
