His plan of search is upon the probable extension of the land muses of Greenland to the far north-—n view yet to be veri- lied by travel, but sustained by the ' Physical Geography. Admitting such an exten- sion. they would, he save. have the following in- ducements for exploration and . 1. Terra lirma as the basis of our operations, obviating the accidents characteristic of ice travel.

2. A due Northern line. which throwing aside the influence of tcrestial radiation, would lead soonest to the open sea. should such ex'ut..

3. The benefit of the fan-like abutment of Ian on the north face of Greenland. to check the ice. in the Oburse of its southern or equatorial drift; thus obviating the drawback of Perry in his attempt to re the‘ Pole by the Spitsbergen sea.

' 4. Animal life to sustain travelling parties.

5. The co-operation of the Esquimaux settle- ment of Greenland. havin been found as high as Whale Sound and robnb y extending still further along the coast. he point I would endeavour to attain would be the highest attainable point of -B.ifin‘it llay. from, if possible. pursuing the Sound known as Smith ‘a ound. advocated by Baron Writtigell. as the most eligible site for reaching the Noiih Pole-

Aa a point of departure, this‘is two hundred and twenty miles to the north of Becchey Island —.-the starting point of Sir Edward Bclohcr—and seventy miles north of the utmost limits seen or recorded in Wellington channel.

The party will consist of some 30 men, with a couple of launches. sletlges. dogs. and guttn per- cha buotn. The provisions will emmieari-—n ,,reparation ofdried meat, packed in cases, im reg- nahlc to the appetite of the Polar bear. Dr. ans, after stating that his expedition will leave the Uni- ted btstes in time to reach the Bay at the earliest season of navigation. says:

After reaching the settlement of Uppernavik, we take in a supply of Erquimaux dogs, a a few picked men to take charge of the sledge. We then enter the ice of \lclvillc Bay, and ifsuccessfel in its penetration. hasten to Smith’e Sound. forcing our vessel to the utmost navigable point, and there securing her for the winter. The n rations of

. search. however, are not to be auspendbed. Active exercise is the best safeguard against the scurvy and, although the darkness of winter will not be in

_ our favour. I am convinced that with the exception

perhaps, of the solsticial period of maximum ob- scurity, we can ush forward our provision depo- sits by sledge and launch and thus prepare for the final efforts of -our aearc

In this I am strengthened by the valuable opi-

Ilatnnoan inn PAd’iPoi'I'l.—A British writer enumerates among the blessings of railrmuls, that they are fast breaking down the barriers of sepI_-' ration between the European nations and races,‘ and abolishing the sasport system. He says:

We think that with a Telegraphic Communication strum- itiand, much time might be saved. much misunder- standing obviated, and much improper Legislation prevented. if the three Legislatures would meet at the same time and arrange the simultaneous discussion of all such subjects as afl'ect the interests of the whole. We merely throw out the sugges- tion now. intending soon to tlke it up in detail. arid in the mean time we invite discussion upon the MCI. by our contemporaries of Canada and New Brunswick-—tltat is, if they have not altogether cast us off in consequence of our defection in Rail- way mattcrs.—HoIt_'faz paper.
