YET ANOTHER ARCTIC ExPEDIr1oN.-A fact
that seems 10 have escaped general attention is
the leaving Of a party OF explorers from Indian
arOliS for the North Pole. They intend to pro-
coed to the Red River Of the North and descend
said river as far as Pembina. There small
steamer Will carry the exploring party as far
North as navigation will permit They will then
proceed as best they can to Fort York on the
west side of Hudson bay, in about So degrees
north latitude. At this point they will put their
boats together, carried in sections, and push as
far north as so degrees before going into winter
quarters. The Governor General of Canada. it
is understood, has received instructions from
the home government in Great Britain to aid
tie expedition in every possible way. A band of
fifty tried ESquimauX trapperS and fishermen
are engaged to accompany the explorers, thor

dogs, Sledges, reindeer, &c.
