New YORK, Oct. 15.-Capt C. B. Dix, of
a South street has received a letter from
Capt Alexander Wilson, of the bark
Fluarine, dated Ivigtut, Greenland, Sept. 10,
1884, saying that he has found another lot of
articles which lie supposes to be from the
wrecked steamer Jeanette. 1t will be re
membered that Wilson found certain articles
some time ago, about which there was much
dispute as to whether they could have drifted
from the Jeannettes location TO the place
where they were picked up. Capt. Wilson
now reports that since his last voyage the
FsqlSmaux Of st. Julians Haab have found
at Minarsoit, forty miles northwest, on a
piece of ice, a slop chest of clothing, twenty
overeoats lined with deerskin, twenty pairs
of trousers and other things which the cap
tain believes came from the Joaimette, as he
will try to show when he arrives at Phila-
delphia about the Goth inst.
