She was efor.il tiiuos on her bemn ends, uud once on fire Drom tho upsetting of the stoves. Some ides of this peculiar nnvlatiuu may be termed by a know iedgo of the fact of her losing Iter jibbouni, best bouer anchor and bulwarks, be ides about COO f&lh Jins of wupping line. They arere cheered, however, by a smull daily progress; uitd by the I Oils of Sept., 1S53, llicy had succeeded a gaining the uoi lher fuee of Greenland, at a point sirver nnched before. Here tho young ice frozo around the vessel, and compvllod thorn to seek a Winter asylum, in which they experienced 8 degree of cold much below any previous registration. W'hMey froze in Nov., and for four month in the year the mercury was ' tolid daily. Tho mean animal Umperature was live degrues below zero. This is the greatest degree uf cold ever expel ieuced by uiun, nnd their Win ter quarters were nearer the Pule than ever before occupied. , Tlit scurvy was easily controlled, but the most fearful, us well us the most novel, feature of the Winter wus aietunus, or lockjaw, wliieh defied all Itreutmetit. It carried away fifty-seven of the b.sl J Cwjuiniaux sledge dogs, and was nltogell.er a ' ifrightful scuurgo. . ! Till SIARCIl The operations of search were commenced as arly as March the first parties, under the person al charge of Dr. Kane, crossing the ice at a Urn rsraturc atfifty-teten degreei below zero. The loss of their dogs obliged ihem, as an only slterna - live, to adopt this parly travel. Many of the party wore frost-bitten, and underwent an amputatisn of liter loos, It was by means of these efforts that the JJupeditiou succeeded iu bringing buck iu results. The parties wore in lire field ss late as the 10th of July, only ceasing from labor when the Winter's ' darkuess rendered it impossible to travel. TiisojuosAriiicL kcsvlts or tuc xrromux Greenland has bees followed by Or. Kane, and surveyed, wilh a coast line towards the Atlantic, fronting duo Xortli, uutil a stupendous glacier checked their progress. This moss of ice rose fn lofty grundeur to a height of fivn Iruudred feet, ' abutting into the sea. It undoubtedly is the only obstacle to the insularity of Greenland or, in other words, the oulbarrier between Greenland and the AUuutio. j It is, however, an e&'ectual barrier to si' 1 future explorations. This glscier, in spite of the difficulties of fulling bergs, was followed oat to sea, the party rafting themselves ain-oss open water spaces upon masses of ice, In this way ihey suc eccrJeJ in traveling eighty miles aloug iubose, and traeeij luto a W northern land. (The glacier ' is, we believe, the largest discovered by any aori galor.) ' . 1 TUC NEW IJkND. . . This new IjdJi thus cemented lo Crecu'.aud by potrulinj ice, is named Washington.

(This sea verif.es ths views of Dr Kane, as expressed to the Geographical Society before his departure.) TJie lashing or the surf sgainsl this frozen Wa:'h of ice was, we are assured, hnprpstivc beyond dee cripliou. Several gentlemen wilh whom we have conversed, sjieuk of it with wonder snd admira tion, Ail area of three thousand square miles wss seen, entirely free from ice. This channel has been named Hun. John P. Kennedy, late Secretary of UioiNavy, under whose auspices the Expedition wss lukcii The land lo ths nortli and west of Ihls channel has been charted as high ss S3 deg. 30. piin. Thitii the nrareit land to the Pole yet diteotrredt It bears the name of Mr. Henry Grinnell, the founder of Ihe exjiedition which bears his name, ths wintis or 1854-55. Ths extreme severity of Ihe previous season made it evident that Ihe brig could not be liberated before the Winter sst in. She was fast imprisoned in the centre of a large field ef ice. The provisions, although abundant, were no', calculated to resist scurvy, nnd the fuel, owing to the smergenoies of the previous Winter, was deficent iu quantity. Under Ih.-se trying circumstunccs Dr. Knno, wilh a party of volunteers, en an attempt lo reach Ihe mouth of Lancaster Sound, in hopes of meet ing the English expeditions, and thus giving relief to li s associates, passed. in an open boat over the track of liuffin's travel, riding out a heavy gale. 1 hey found an uninterrupted barrier of ice, extend ing in one greut horseshoe from Jones' to Murchi- soii's Sounds, and were forced, after various es capes, to return to the brig. During tho winter llmt ensued, they adopted the habits of the Esquimaux, liting upon raw ualrut meat, and surrounding themselves with walls of moss. In spite of these precautions, the scurvy advanced with steady progress, but by Ihe aid of a single team of dogs, Dr. Kane succeeded in effect ing a communication with ths Esquimaux, seventy miles to the southward, (ths coldest drive, accord ing to the Doctor, that he ever hud.)' By Ihe sys tem of mutual assistance, the Expedition exchanged meat willi the Esquimaux, and by orgnuiziug a hunt relieved their party. At one time, every man of the Expedition, except Dr. Kane and Mr. Bonscll, were confined to the bunks with scurvy. Dr. Kane had lo cook, cut ies, &o., and Mr. Bonell had to do other menial service, ljy rrovidentiul inlerference the party escaped wilhout a single death. ESCArg TO TUP SOUTH. The great belt of ice made it clear that no relief cxpedi.ion from Ihe South could reach the party in t me to prsront their imprisonment fur a third Winter, which, with their deficiency of fuel, would have proved most disastrous, if not fatal. Under these circumstances, Dr. Kano wisely deteruined to abandon his brie, and atlempt to descend to the South by a combination of boats and i ledges. In accordance wilh this view they left the br'g cu the 17th of May the temperature at that time bjing 5 deg. below zero. They crossed a belt of ice 81 miles in diameter, dragging their boats be hind them and carrying four sick comrades by means of a do? sledge. After a travel of 316 miles wilh 31 days of coustaut exposure, they reached Cnpe Alexander und embarked in open water. Their guns supplied them with animal food, no provisions being carried iu the boats except pow dered breadsturl', and tallow. (Tallow, says the Dr., is a very good tiling.) From Cape Alexander they traveled to the south ward, sometimes over ice, sometimes through water, shooting cider duck and seal, and collecting euongli eggs lo keep the party in good aonditieu. At Cape York Ihey burnt' up their spare boats and sledges for fuel, and left the canst. Striking out into Ihe open sea of Melville Bay, they then steered for ihe Norlh Danish settlements of Greenland. Hero Ihey providentially landed on the Clh of August, in vigorous health, after their travel of 1 ,300 nti'c and eighly-one diiyt of comtani exposure. LFAVINO THE COAST PALI.1NO IN WITH HAItTSTKIN.S xxrsoiTioN. From Upernivik, the largest of these seitlemcnts, they took passage in a Dullish sailing vessel fur Eug'and. By great good fortune, they touched at Diso, where they were met by Capt. Ifurlstein's Expedition. This lust Searching Expedition had found the ice of Smith's Sound slill unbroken, but having communicated with the Esquimaux, had heard of the departure of Dr. Kane, and had re traced their steps. ' ' Till DEATHS ON Tilt CXl'lniTISN. The Expedition has to mourn the loss of three of its comrades, two of whom perished of lockjaw, and ono from abcess, following upon a frozen ex tremity. These meu may be said to bsve fallen in the direct discharge of a noble duly. Tbeir names ars, acting carpenters, Christian Ohlsen ; Jefferson linker and Peter Schubert, volunteers.
