In other departments, Ijcarlnc' such as zoology nnd botany, less upon public economies, but sllll having a certain Importnncc.thc Information acquired has been highly curious nnd even valuable. Several esculents wed among the natives of the Interior, hmo liccn adopted for cultiva tion, nnd medicinal plants oftnlcacy added to tho dljpcnratory A largo number of birds, reptiles and antmnh, hitherto raro or entirely unknown, have been collected and ' described, nnd specimens forwarded to the National Museum of tho .SniUinonltui Instl lute nt Washington. Among the latter, two species In particular nro noticeable, whose Tery existence has been mado a subjeut of ridicule, and whoso extraordinary confirma tion nt first sccuicd to defy probability. It is not tho llrst time, howour, that imperfect descriptions havu caused doubt to arise in tha minds of nnturnlists ns to the crnelty of narrators.

Tho vessel grounded with every tide, nnd but for her , extreme strength would not havu been able to sustain tho shucks of the Ice.

They were cheered, how over, by n small dully pro gross; and by tho 10th of September 80M, had succeeded in gaining tho uorlhcn. itcoof Greenland nt a point never reached .before. Here tho young Ico fro around the vessel nnd compelled them to seek a winter asylum, Tho winter gavo them a degrco of cold much below nny prc Ions rc(istratlon on reevrd. Whisky frozo In November, and for four mouths In tlio year mercury was was nvo degrees talow zero, summer and winter Included. This, without a doubt, was lho grcntvit cold aver experienced by man, ns lho scut of their winter quarters was nearest lho pole, The scurvy was readily controlled, but the most novel foaturo of this winter was a tetanus, or loik-Jaw, which defied all treat ment. It carried away flfly-scvcn of tlalr lest slcdgo dogs, and was altogether n frightful scourge. Tha operation of search commenced ns curly as March. Thu llrst parties, under the personal clnrgtf ofl)r. Kane, crossed tho Ico nt n temperature of 67 deg.

Tho largo bay which Intervenes between it nud 1 Greenland, bears, wo bcllec, the name of reauouy, 01 jiaiuuiore, ouo or the pro ijeelors of tho expedition. This ley coii' 'nectlou of tho old and new worlds seems a feature of peculiar interest. The rnngo of tho slcdgo Journals may be ; understood from tho fuct that tho entlro j circuit of Smith's Sound has been cllccted 1 nnd its shores comnletel v charted. llut ibo real ditcovory of the expedition Dr, Knno clalmi is the real polar sou. Th chanucl leading to tboso waters was entirely fiee from Ite, nnd this mysterious feature wns rcudeicd more remarkable by thoe.x istenco of n bolt of solid ico extending ono hundred and twenty-nvc miles to the south ward. This sea verified tho views of Dr, Kane, as expressed In tho Geographical So ciety, befoio his (Upartuic. Tho lashing of the surf against this frozen beach of Ice was Impressive bejood description, and ouo of tho most remarkable sights ilurig the expedition. An area of three thousand miles h been seen entirely free from Ice, and v, uamtd after lho Hon. J. P. Ken Jy, !ato Secretary of tho Navy, under whoso auspices tho expedition v. us under taken.
