(To be Continued.) Our New Arctic Expedition. The new American expedition, under Captain C. F. Hall, is now ready to sail upon its difieult and perilous voyage of Polar discovery. Should the present American commander not be mi4taken here it is almost certain that he will, in the early part of' his sledge journey, stumble upon the open Polar Sea, "along whose shores," according to Kane. "seals were sporting and waterfowl feeding, whose waves c:.mc rolling in with measured tread like the majestic billows of old ocean, and whose solitude, the, cold and boundless expvnse and th'e qys.crious heav ings ofits great waters lent their charm to the scene." Whether subsequent investigation will con firm the substantial accuracy of Kane's narrative it is, perhaps, re served for Captain Hall to decide. But if it be founded at all in fact, the , present expedition cannot hope for the full execution of its purposes. There is unquestiorialyly an im mense drainage of roptinental riv ers into the Arctic basin with the return of every spring. By the careful and moderate estimate of the eminent geographer Keith Johnston, the water thus let loose by the vernal sun upon thesurface of this basin represents the melted snow and drainage of five millions of' square miles, which exceeds by two millions of square miles the total arca contained within the entire periphbery of the Arctic Sea. Thlis volume of warm water, pour ing into and diffusing itself' over the Arctic latitudes, is still fur ther augmented by the dlissolution of ice masses unrier the mid-sum mcer sun, whose temperature, as far as Yakutsk, the coldest habita tion of man, is frecquently known to i-each sixty degr-ess Fahrenheit. Add to these thermic resources of he Arctic basin the faLll of' sum mner rains, the latent heat.cevolved in their formation and the comn bined agenc'ies of' the Gnlf'Stream (which has been traced into the Arctic Sea between Spitzbeirgen and Nova Zembla). and the con sp)iring humid southwest winds, which, it is well known, forever invade the Arctic basin. and we at once discover ground for appre hension that Captain Hall may find the route s'electedl for his sledge journey either an open sea or one filled with gigantic masses of floating ice. This, however, time and cxper'i rnent only can remove or estab lish. Scientific men will expCt that every care will be tarken to make accurate astronomical and magnetic observations, and also wvhat will be of' still greateor im portance-that the meteorological observations shall be specially prosecuted and p)reserved for the benefit of our National Meteorolo -gical Burecau and Storm Signal Service. The~ exp)edition now about to sail may not realize its hopes ; but, like every great and original ac tion, it has a prospective great. ness-not alone fr-om the thought of the man who achieves it, but f'rom the various aspects and high thonghts it will continue to in spire in the minds of others to the end, it may be, of all time.

Sassafr-as tea is a drink of fash. Horrible. A Paris letter of the 31st ult. says: A most, rcvolthg sigit oc curred this morning on the plaza in front of the Hotel de Ville. Thirty-three Communists, among whomn were seven women, were shot in a body of a company of soldiers. A ruTnd three sides of the square troops to the number of 1,500 were drawn up, under the command of Col. Guizot. At 8 o'clock, the prisoners, who had been confined in the coal cellars back of the porter's lodge in the Hotel de Ville, were brought ont, their hands tied behind their backs, and then matched out by the main gateway through a file of soldiers, and, having reached the centre of the wide area in front of the Hotel do Ville, were ranged in a row, and made to kneel down close together. There was nothing on the whole plaza but three empty scavenger carts, which stood in a line at th, rear of the prisoners. When the com pany was in line and ready to fire, Col. Guizot stepped forward and told the prisoners in a few words that they were to suffer death for having been caught in the act oi setting fire to buildings and dwell ings in Paris. At this moment thewomen uttered piercingsereams and began to sway themselves back and forth. An officer stepped forward and made them keep still by the flat of his sword. A f'e momente afterwards a vollcy was fired, and when the smoke cleared away a most horrible sight was presented. Three of the womcn who were in the middle row, be twee i the men, were still living and writhing in awful agony. A second volley was fired, and n third, and not until the sixth did all the prisoners cease to lire. The dead bodies were then flunp into the three scavenger carts and carried away to be buried. The descriptions of Paris just before the culminating horror ol the last few days of the seigo are terrible pictures of the misfortuneE of the.gy city. The streets were darkened early in the eveyiing, by the order whichcommanded light. to be extinguished, and th'e cafe closed at 11 o'clock. Peter's and a few favored foreign resorts man. aged to stretch out the time until 1 o'clock in the morning, and these every night were full. At midnight the fag end of the pop ulation would swarm on the boule. vards, those pogr beggarly girlE who, finding no purchasers for their wares, offered themselves for any hideous purpose. Distress induced depravity, and young girls. formerly surrounded with comfort and respectability, were driven by want to play th,; wan. ton in the streetsq. Father killed in the war ; mother taken away by fever ; no work ; everything flat ; no friends. This is the Paris icnine of to-day. Sadly' suggestive of moral rottenness is the part which women have played through. out the revolt, and the gay scne then enactedi in the faush ionable haunts of ti>lly form a ghastly conltras't to the general desolation ter of thiest re.: fighuti ig that closed the tragedy.

Our Minister in Ciina, Gov. Lowe,-ht forwarded to the Secre. tary of State the following trans lation ot a report of an-earthquake in Bathang,- in Szchucn, made by I the Chinese Governor-General of the province in WhiCh it occur red: I have ascertained-that Bathang lie# on: a- very elevated spot, be vond' the borders of the province, about 260 miles West from Li tang and more than thirty post stationf- fror tfie district town of Tt-tsfen, on the high road to Ti bet. About 11 o'clock A. M.,.on the 11th of April, 1870; the-earth trembled so violently that the Government offices, tem'ples, gra naries, stone and storehouses and fortifications, with all thecommon dwellings and the Temple of Ting Lin, were at once overthrown and ruined. The only exception was the hall in this Temple grounds called Ta-Chao, which stood un harmed in its isolation. A few of the troops and people escaped, but most of the inmates were erushd and killed under the falling timber and stone. Flames also sudden ly burst out in four places, which strong winds drove about until the heavens were darkened w i t h smoke, and their roaring was mingled with the lamentations of the distressed people. On the 16th Ihe flames were beaten down, but the rumbling noises were still heard underground like distant thunder, and the earth rocked and rolled like aship in a storm, at the mercy of the wave.- The multi plied miseries of the afflieted in habitants were increased by a thousand fears, birt in abont ten days mat tes began to grow qniet ind the motion to cease. The grain collector at Bathang says that for several days before the earthquake the water had overflowed the dyke. but after it the earth cracked in many places, and black, fetid water spurted out in a furious manner. Ifone poked it the spurting instantly followed, just as is the case with the salt wells and fire wells, (in the East ern. part of the province.) and this explains how it hpned that fire followed the earthquake fra Ba thang. As nearly as is ascerteinedr there were destroyed two frrge temples, the offices of the collector of grain tax, the local magistrate and the the colonel, the Ting-i'mt Temple, and nearly 700 fathoms of wall around it. and 351 rooms in all in side; six smaller temples numbez ing 221 rooms, besides 1,849 rooms and houses of the common people. The number of people. soldiers and limas killed by the crash was 2.298, among whom were t-ho lo cal mnais-rte and his second in The earthquake extended from Batbane JMastwarrd to Parvg-chah muhi, Westward to Nan-tur,, on the South to Lin-tsahi-shih, anid on the North to the salt wells of A-tuntsz. a circuit of over 400 miles. It oceurred sim ultaneously over the whole o,f this region in some places steep hills split and suik into dIeep liits; in other hills on level spot s became precipitous elitis, and the r-oadls arnd high ways wereC rendered impansable by ob strmuen ons.

After referring to the sympathy Italy feels for Fr-ance, and advising the union of the Latin races as a ne -cessary balance of powe~r in Eu - rope to the growing prepon]der ance of the Germans and Selaves, he strikes at the causes of the ci Svil war in Paris. '-The acts of ,the Commune," he says, "were the > r iesult of the negation of God by - the people." While fighting for . fr what they deemed a republi 3 can principle and a principle of lo - cal self-government, the people I were led to frightful atrocities, because they hadl no faith in and were not under the restraints of religion. Seeing that the priests r are, ier the mnos part,4be support er.s of monarehy and despotism, they revolt at and will have no P religion at all.
