Additional points touching the discoveries
of the Greedy party in the direction of the Pole
are given in our dispatches from st. john =
They prove beyond doubt that the frozen
Polar sea Is not frozen the year round; but that
the ice breaks I'D there occasionally, and that
its currents are strong and swift. In lNS2 a
party of the explorers followed up Markham'S
route norhward. and instead of finding that
they could advance over continuous ice, soon
found themselves ho3tingO a gigantic ice raft.
In the next month Lieutenant Lockwood tray
ellcd some miles nearer the Pole than any man
had ever done before, and discovered many
signs of comparatively prolific animal and
vegetable life. These discoveries knock out
completely the English theories that approach
to the Pole is cut of at thcpeint at which Mares
turned southwark, by an immovablc sea OF ice
and absolute lacl, of animal or vegetable life.
These are facts of great value; but aside from
them il is no little satisfaction to know that the

eagerly engaged in fitting the caps he has fur

society so much interest amusement and

The chances are that all Europe must now
submit to the scourgc Of cholera. The disease
has reached Paris and its appearance there, as
our cable dispatches show, is due to the ccle-
bration of the National fttc on July Il; the
first patient was a person who stood ON that
dav close by a woman who had just arrived
from Marscillcs. This is precisely what was
predicted az q result of that ill-tmcd celcbra-
ton. and yet the Parisians would not give 1t
ND. Now they have their reward. Several
cases have also appeared ON a ship in the Mcr-
sey: and thus Europe is attacked from the
south and the northwest. However we may
reasonably hope that the worst which the
plague can do at the present day IN Europe Is
not So bad W. it would have been some years
