My 9, says: The steamer Walrus arrived from the seA fishery at the port of St Johns tfiis morning, bringing the news that the tt?tner Tigresa had come into Roberts' Kay 18 miles from here, having on board nintcen survivors of Fall's Artie expedition.

DEATH op CUT. HALL. On the 8th oi November, 1S71, in latitude 81 degrees 38 minutes, longt Hide 71 degrees 41 minute, dpt. Hall died of apoplexy, and was buried tm shoro, where they erected a wooden cross to mirk his crave. He had recently returned Iron a northern pledge expedition, i'i which he had ttained an altitude of 82 degrees and 10 minutrs. He seemed in his usual health, Bnd had called his crew into the cabin to encountge them to renew ed exertion, when lio was suddenly struck down and expired, to the great grief of those around, to wnotu he had endeared himself by his kindocss and devotion. IN WINTER QUARTERS. In September, 1871, the Polaris enter. d winter quarters, and left them on August 12, 1872. The ico was very hea'y, and set in a southern direction. She wa forced south, and so continued drifting till Capt. Tyson and his party were driven from her. A sledge party croeed Kane's Volar sea, which they pronounced to be a strait about fifteen miles wide. There was nn appearence of open water to the north. PRIVATIONS AND SUFFERING. The; rescued party suffered very i.iucr. during their dreary drift from hujger and coll. For tho last two months they ate raw seal and polar bear as they could get it. W hen met by the Tigress they showed evident signs of their great sufferings, but du ring the nine days that they have been onboard they have improved vastly, and are now in fair health. The party is in charge of the United States Consul and will arrive jn St. Joins od Monday next. capt. tyson's narrative. The following statement is furnished by Capt. Tyson : On the 24 ih of August, 1871, we left Te.-sinask and went through Smith's Sound. We succeeded in getting a far north as latitude 82 degrees 16 minuteM, when we returned and wintered at Polaris Bay, latitude 81 degrees 38 minutes, loigitude 01 degrees 44 minutes .We were frozen op until the filth of Sep ember. On the 10th of October C apt. Hall started on a sledge journey north, and returned on the 24th, when he was taken sick, und died on the 8th of No vembtT. He was buried ou the 11th The attack that carried him of! wa. said to be apoplexy. W pas ed the winter at Polaris Bay. BOUND FOR THE NORTH. On the 8th of June. 1872. we at tempted to go oorch with two boats. We hau'ed our other boat on shore, and returned oerland on the 8 h of July. We started for home on the 21th of Augu.t, and tin the 15th we be-et with ice in latitude 80 degree 2 minufs. We dr Hod from then down to latitude 77 degret o5 minutM wluri we encountered a heavy mmiiIi west gal, the -.hip be ng umler heavy prc-ure. Cn the night of the lo:h w comincneed landing provijiin, efc. on the ice the vs-cl hcitijr reported as leak ing badly at titm-s W coutinuea land inc provisions fur two or three hours, when the pressure ceased I w nt on I tiard the ve.sel and as. Led the sailinr c uuter if the vetl was making uti) more water than usud. He reported that she was not. I then went to the pumps and Brcertaincd that she s cot making any more water than in the summer I went on tlu ice again. and sh-irtly alter it began to crack, and a few minutes afterward broke in many pieces. The vessel broke from her fastening', and was soj lost to to i -h t in the datkness and ftorm. c OS TIIK ICE. On the broken ice ai most of out provision to sustain the party through !he winter, and, sitid seeing nothing of the vewiel, we attempted to reach the shore in hopes ol finding natives to assist u in living through the winter. (Jetting abut half way to shore with our heavily-hdeii boats our progress became hard by the drifting ice, and 1 whs compelled to haul on the ice again. At this time I succeeded in saving fourteen cans of pemtuican, eleven and uhblfbau's of bread, ten dozen and onetwo-p' uul cans of meat and soup fourte o hatiH. one small hag of choco late weight g twenty pound, some musk ox skins, a few blanket, a num ber of riflv-s, and abundant ammunition In the morning knowing that I had not provisions anough, and other arti cles of food, clothiuij, compasses, etc., on an abatement of the gale I endeav ered to shoot as many seals as possible, both tor food, light and fuel, but could only get three, owing to the j bad weather haviog set in. I supposed the wind to be about outhwcst. LOOKING FOR LAND On its clearing. up I found myself within about eight miles of what I supposed to be the east coast, and thirty or forty mile below the ship The ics being weak, I could not trans port the boat and provisions to land until it grew stranger, While here, discovered my other boat, bread etc , and saved all. The ice grew firm, and I made another attempt to reach the shore, carrying everything in boits and dragging them on their keels. The ico being exceedingly rough, we stove both boats. We succeeded on the 1st of November in getting about halfway to the shore. Night came on us and very stormy weather. In ho morning the iso waa broken, and we weredrifting so ilhward very fast. Wo aw no more lat d fur many days, tho had weather continuing ail through the month of November. We built a Rnow house, and made ourselves as com fortable as we could. We were ten white men, two K-quiiuaux, two wo men, and five children in all. We succeeded in killing a few seals, which furnished us with light and fuel with whieh to warm our scanty allow ance of food through the darkness of t Artie v i. SCANTY PROVISIONS. In tho latter part of February we lived principally upon birds, and in March commenced to catch seals through that month we supported our selves on bears and seals' flesh wasting neither skin nor entrails. We collect enough food in this way to last until the middle of May, had we hot been driven to sea by a strong westerly pale in the latter prt of March, our floe piece being then reduced from five miles in circumferenc to about twenty jards in diameter. ALMOST STARVED. We left the place on the 1st of April, and a bandoned nearly all our me it, a large amount of ammunition, eli'thing, nkins, and other articles, taking a portion of the meat in a boat, which we were oblig'd to throw over board, on account of the boat being -p deeply laden. I regained tfie outer edge of the pack of ice on the 3d of April, and succeeded in getting a little furiher in on the pack. Ou the 4th a heavy nortbea.-t gale set in, a heavy m a running under the ice, which broke it in small pieces, so that we had to live on a small scale, ag we could not put our boat out, neither could we find seals for food, and were reduced almost to starvation. On the 21st of April we sighted polar bear. Kvcry person was ordered o lie down aud imitate the seal while two Kstjuimaux secreted themselves bellied a piece of ice enticing the bear near enough to kill him. lew u.136 afici tins we pot our boat to the water aud worked our way webt and southwest, aud continued to work every opportunity to the westward in the hope ol reaching the Labrador coast and getting temporary relief. I'ICKKD UP. We were picked up by the steam, ship Tigress, Capt Bartlctt, on 30th of April, in latitude f)o degrees 35 miu utes north, longitude 55 degrees west or near Yu!i Island, aud about foit miles from land. The Polaris is now without boats, having lost two in trying to get north 111 the s, rt-g of 1872. The Tigress fell in with the party iu a dense fog, and providentially struck the very flje on which they were; otberwiso they must have perished. They a I sccm tolerably well. Captain Tyon complaiued of swelled legs and leot but uothing serious is tho matter with him. When they left the Polaris all on board were iu good health. Iu reference to the way in which the Polaris got avviy from the parly which was rescued off the ice, Capt. Tysou states that he felt little anxiety at first, thiuking she would soou come to their elief. THE LAST VIEW OF THE TOLARIS. " I set my colors," he said, " as she toatrud dovru along tho shoro, but the vessel was soon lost to sight in a bend of the land, and behind what I took to be Northumberland Island The piece of ice I was on commenceu' drifting southward. As f lie wind hauled to the northeast, opening a little bay to the northeast of 1 the Northumberland Islands, 1 saw a vessel in the harbor there. Her sails were furled. No smoke issuing from her smoke stack that' I )could see. I then attempted-to bring: my boats across tho floe in a' enstrr nirection, hoping to Coe, water and teach the ihore, I suzo .eCt ed in dragging one boat across, and took to the water and attempted to reach the shore some distance below the vessel. Wre were then drifting very fast, and the gale was blowing freh, with great Tiolenee, from the northeast, and snowing very' fast, aad drifting. I was driven back on the ice gain, and corapel'ed to haul my boa out. Night closed on me,nd carried us to the southwest. In the morning we were about thirty miles southwest of where the hip went into harbor. A heavy sea was running, which broke up my floepiece, separating us from six bags of bread and one boat. I saw a vessel uuder steam and canvasg rounding the point to the northwest. Thinking she would ccme to our rc lief I gave myself no extra a.nxiety, but soon we were doomed to diappointment and from that time untill the Tigress rescued us we never got a glimps of the Polaris." CONDENSED LOO Washington, May 10 The follow- i ng dispatch has been received by the State Department : St. Johns N. F , May 9. I have just returned Irom Bay Huberts. Capi. Tyson reports having reachel north latitude 82 "degrees 10 seconds, reached winter quarters in September 1871. in latitude 81 degrees 38 seconds; i.longitude Gl degrees 44 second Capt.

He was buried about half amile southeast of the ship's wiuter quarters : crossed Kane.s Polar Sea, said to be a strait about fourltcu c ik-s wide, with appearance of open water north ; left winter quarters Aug. 13, 1872 , got on beam-erds on the 15 af the game mouth, thecce drove south t 77 degrees 35 second, in the ship, when owing to the heavy pressure of the ice; the vessel was thrum up, and while lauding stores, etc , the vessel broke away fiom her mu oiiugs with pattofthe crew, and drilled away soulh. The vessel was las: sicn uuder steam and canvass, making tjr a harbor 00 the cast side ef Northumberland Islauds. The PolarU is without boats. Of the two landed on tie ice with Capt. Tysou, one was burued to make water for the crew, and the other is now iu Bay Roberts. The crew Jost the vesfctl 00 the 15ih ofOttober, 1872 aud were picked up by the Tigress in latitude 53 degtces 30 minutes, having betu 11)7 days ou the Ico No lives were lost. When last on board the Polaris, she made no more waur thau dur.ng the previous winter aud fall, but she had received heavy injuries to her stern, causing her to leak badly. The Polaris is iu charge of Capt. Buddingtou. The ctcw have lived on a few ounces daily, and latterly ou raw scales, eating the skins, eutrails and all for the past two months, aud arc all in fairly good health. Capt. Tyson does uot expeot the Polaris will get clear beforo July, if she is in condition to come home.
