If the road can he completed successfully, we shall then have P* an open road through the mountain country from Annerson C. II. by Pendleton 1,1 and Pickens C.

Sir James and his party penetrated as far as the wreck of the Fury, where ho found the old tent standing, and everything uhout. it in a state of the best preservation. At this poh.t Sir James deposited a large quantity of provisions, and also the screwlaunch of the Enterprise. The march of Sir James across the boundless regions of ice is truly stated as a most unparalleled fcPt of exploration. We are sorry to find however* that it was in no way successful. I According to tlic Hunts Telegraph, the j first business of Sir II. ftulwer, Envoy to j the United Stntcs, on liis arrival, is "to j know wlmt encouragement, if any, the United States give to the attempted with- ; drawnl of the <7nnadas f'om Hritish ivile.
