Thence they proceeded down the western coast, examining Possession and Pond 1 Bays, and were frozen in the grcnt middlo pack for several days, and to all appcarnn- ! ces, for the winter. In lat. 60 30 N., Ion. 63 30 W., spoke English whale ship Eclipse Pe- ! terhead, bound to Cumberland Inlet.

On the 27th spoke English ' schooner Stella, from Sandwich Buy bouud to Plymouth. No traces whatever have been discovered of Sir John Franklin's pnrty. The last winter in the Arctic was unusually severe, many of the natives having perished * from exposure and starvation. They were compelled to ent their dogs, tlio extreme cold having prevented their usual hunting expo- { ditions. Tho vessels aro in a tolerably good condition, although they have been in collision with icebergs and severely nipped in the j packs. I ] j Dr. Khno's Party in tho Release.?Dr. Kane, U. S.

J. Hayes, and Messrs. A. Bonsell t and Augustus Sontag. These gentlemen \ have returned in fine health, with bronzed j features and athletic frames. They com- j plainod much of tho intense heat of the 1< weather, and it was rather singular to see [, them displaying all tho marks of men suf- ? fering under a sultry evening in tho dog days.! j Their narrative commenced with they leav- j c ing the harbor of New York on the 31st ; v May, 1853. After a short stop at New-I t foundland the Expedition under Dr. Kane, j t reached Finstemiss and Zuckertopfen on the i j 28th of June, wbero thoy stopped to pro-lj cure dogs and winter clothing, consisting of j garments of seal skin furs. On the 23d of July. 1853, they left. Uper- . navik, the most northern settlement on the t globe, in (attitude 72 degrees, mul made the | loe in Melville Bay in two days after. A favor- , able passage brought the expedition through c the ice. Smith's Sound was reached on tlie t 5th of August following. At tho entrance . of the Sound, just north of Cape Alexander, they erected a cairn containing letters on Lit- j tleton Island,and lift a depot of provisions. t At this point they also left a boat. This was on tho 7th of August. After leaving | Littleton Island they soon made the heavy j ice in Smith's Sound, and were driven into the pack on the 21st of August. From this time they made their way by warping along t tl.> Jmro nf Kmiih'a Sound rlnrimr tlin Itirrli 1,,v aMV,w w* ' O o " j I tide; at low tide the vessel was aground.? j s This tedious course was con tinned until the! L 10th of September, when they made a bar- j bor in latitude 78 degrees 40 minutes.? i From this winter harbor siege parties were | ' lent in various directions to establish depots cf provisions. Mr. Bonsell reached a point' " three hundred miles from the vessel ;aboutthc j 0 8th of October *heirckachc was made, and on ! the 1st of November, thoy completed their ^ travel. The last glimpse of the sun deserted the adventurers on the 20tli ofOctober ; this c was somewhat earlier than was due to their " elevated lattitude, in consequence of a line of high hills stretching away to the south of v the winter harbor. All the parties returned P by the 21st of November; tbat under the c. command of Mr. Bonsell having lajen out twenty-eight days. " At the time of the return of the parties the light was so far gone that at noon they were 1 just able to read. In this high latitude the d Aurora was less brilliant than further South p ?the region wbero this phenomenon of the n Arctic winter is the moat compiciotu being U in latitude 69 to 70. The winter experience ? of the navigators did not materially differ ti from that of other Arctic navigators; hut w they have reached a colder spot than any n previous expedition, or else the season was si uncommonly severe. The coldest weather ?< experienced was 00 to 75 degrees below re* b ro.

The party suffered greatly uid walked forty-five miles from the ship; he ice was so heavy that four persons out of i company of eight was severely frozen.? rwo of them after died in consequence of the hjuries sustauied on this attempt. No paries wore sent out till the season was more idrnaced. During tho winter the dogs were tnken with n sort of epidemic and died in fits.? rhere were about fifty-seven dogs ou board, snd tho loss of tlieso animals seriously interferrcd with the successful prosecution of the expedition, as travelling was necessarily to bo made on foot. On the 23d of April the next party set out under tho command of Dr. Kane, but after a week, the Doctor wns leized with a typhoid fever and scurvy, and was compelled to return. On the 18th of May another party set out under tho command of Dr. llays. They set out with a team of six or eight dogs, which had been purchased from the Esquimaux, and wero accompanied by an Exquimaux boy that was taken on board at Disco Island. The party skirted along the northern shore of the Island, and on the west coast of Smith's Sound, and succeeded in getting up the coast a considerable distance ; they travelled 300 miles, Oand returning. On the 4th of June onsell accompanied a party which then set out under Mr. McGarrv to explore the oast shore of the Sound, Ilero they reached a miglitv glacier stretching along the coast with a face of 00 miles in extent. This is the largest glacier in the world, occupying the whole coast from 79 degrees 12 minutes to 80 degrees 20 minutes without abreakor ravine. This enormous mass of ice diocharje? from time to time immense icebergs which travel through Baffin* Bay and Davis Straits. Tho party found the depot thoy had nade in tho fall destroyed by tho bears. A correct survey of the coast was made by Mr. Bonsell and they arrived at the ship on he 27th of June. Tlieso depots of clinches ire formed by depositing tho food and coverng them with stones. When it is practicable, ?now is heaped over the stone nnd water s poured over the whole, mingled with sand imi silt. The water freezes and forms asold mass, while the silt scrapes tl e bear's paws when he attempts to tear away the icy :overing and the compact mass of stones.? Plenty of rock is found here, and tho prevailing material is a red granite. Tin cases, lermeticttlly scaled, are impervious to the bears, as the contents freeze forming a solid lias* resembling a block of stone. One of ho alcohol cases had been destroyed by a bear, and the claw had cut the tin like an ron tool. Ono day, as the party were sleep ng in the tent?the sun being about fifteen legrees high in the north?a bear stuck his lose into the opening. Mr. Bonsell kept the mimal at bay by presenting matches and tallooing. The danger was the greater beause the creature was between the sledge in vhich the lire amies were placed and the ent. After making a noise, tho bear went o the sledgo nnd commenced devouring the irovisions. While thus engaged one of the >arty cut a hole in the back of the tent and >rocured a boat hook, and by making a denonstration with this, a ritlc was obtainod md tho ninntal dispatched. The traveller* bought it but fair to raako a dinner on the >ear in realiation for his invasion of their eatiblos, and they dined olT his liver in defiance >f the popular idea that this part of the aninal is unwholesome. This, tbcepieures found o their cost, to be a rcalilv ; and tho whole >arty were taken sick, and a curious conseluencc of this illness was tho peeling off of be cuticle. <j^be fooil of the bear consists nostly of the seal. While these animals are ying on the ice the bear steals up behind n nun mock of ice, and, making a dash, secures , tsprey. The size and enoiinous tusks of be walrus secure him from an assault of his kind. The Greenlandors and Exqtiinaux remark that they have never killed a he bear iu a siato of pregnancy, although he Esquimaux often find the sho bear acompauied by cubs not larger than u young nippy. On the 1st of June Dr. Hayes went on >n expedition and returned after a journey f 12 days, Mr. Morton returned or. the *2th of July from an expedition with the logs and Esquimaux, having sighted land in 11 degrees and *20 minutes, sixty miles to the lortli. Hero was found an open channel, nd after a gale of 5*2 hours in duration rom the noith no drift ice was curried toward (he south, showing clearly that the arty were on th&southern icy shore of the entral Arctic basin of open water. This is , lie highest northern point ever reach**! l?v lan. On the 15tbot'July, there being no ope of the escape of the vos?cl from the ice, i >r. Kane started for Lancaster Sound in or- 'j er to reach Sir Edward -Belcher for the pur- j ose of obtaining assistance, but not succeedigin reaching Cape Parry, in lat. 77 he ro- I irned on the 6lb of August. The second < inter was then passed in the ice, and all < le fuel being exhausted, the expedition > ere compelled to subsist like the Esqui- ] mux, on raw meat. This diet, strange to i *y, is found excellent as a proven tiro of the ] jurvy, Tho only fuel that was now availa)e was taken from the vessel parts, of Which ere v?ed in this manner. The whole ooinany were now lodged in one apartment, to ( inder the eold endurable Their meat was t ?t<m faw and the frozen slices were chipped 1 IT like ba;d ioe cream, Among the Arctic i JtLeMS>MewMeseeeBMeMee>Me*eWSWSWWWWBpeei leltcades the froxeushlubber of the wdbtM! res mentMped with greet apparent gusto. -1 During This winter the whole party were town with the scurvy, with the exception of Jr. Khiio, end Mr. Bonmjll. After the sun seme beck the stock of provi?ious ww exleusted and the health of the party was men tuat ur. ivaue atu not deem it prudent to risk a third season. They were then gighty or uiuety mites from the nearest water. On the 21st of May they left the vessel and after thirty dare of the severest toil and suffering they reached the water. Thia eighty miles required a travel of at least five hundred miles. Sometimes they were compelled to go seen times over the same toilsome roaX They had three boats, and the whole party were required to drag each one. And the provisions and other necessary articles compelled them to traverse the day's journey two, three or even four tiroes. They occasionally did not make a half a mile's progress in the course of a day. On the 21st of June they reached the first water, aud then they were changing from ice to water and from water to ice, battling with the elements and exposed to total de struction by nips from floating masses of ie? uutil the 2d of August, when they got ink open water at Meliville Sound. On the 6tl: of August they arrived at Upemuvik, tl?< most northern Danish settlement on the eoasl of Greenland. The navigation in McllvilU Hay was hazardous in the extreme; the) weio often out of sight of land and fifty 01 sixty miles from the shore in the midsl <>f the ice. The vessel which was to losvt Upemuvik for Copenhagen was just about leaving when Captain llartstein appeared Had he been two days lutcr the pnrty would have left for Copenhagen. On the 18th o( September the llelea.se and the Arctic left Godhaven, on Disco Island, and arrived or the lltli October at New York. NaturalizationSeveral feeble efforts bave been made ic Concrcss to chance the naturalization laws o a . so us to make them more effective and lest liable to abuse?but the subject has always been approached with diffidence, from fear we suppose, thai whoever might undertake the task of correcting tho evil, would have the whole foreign vote thrown against him al the ensuing election. 13ut the time has at hist arrived, when members will take the matter fearlessly in hand wo may expect, that, during tho approaching session of Congress, a successful movement will be made, at least so far as regards the House of Representatives. IIow the Senate may act is more doubtful; but if Senators faithfully represent the interests of their States, they cannot do otherwise than support the change in the naturalization laws proposed l?y the American party. No section of the Union is more deeply interested in the adoption of this measure thari the South ; for every foreign or naturalized adds ono to the number of Free Soilers?nnd, with a continuance of the usual emigration to this country, it is render ed almost certain, that no territory can hereafter become a slave State, if foreigners be permitted to control its destiny. It is si outgo to us, that the people of the Southern shoul J be blind to this result. The influence of the foreign vote has been gradually undermining tlio power of the South for years past, and must, inevitably destroy it altogether if not checked. The only check which can be successfully applied, is such a change in the naturalization laws as shall prevent emigiants from voting until after a residence of twenty-one years in the country. The present mode of naturalizing foreign ers is a farce?a humbug. It throwt open the right of suffrage to whoever may choose to claim it, no matter whether he ha* resided in the country five years of one month. There can always be found individuals to swear each other in as citizens, and the proccsos legal. Hut it has been a common practice to havo ono general witness for a number of applicants?mid we think that just prior to one election one man swore fa about one bun*I red persons Tlmt he was perjured in some of the cases there can be little doubt?but what of that i ho was no doubt paid for bis services, and we know that at one time lie held an appointment und-v govcrnment. How many oftho?e who swear obedience and attachment to the Constitution of the country, know wbnt tlio Constitution ? Not ono out of every hundred. IIow should thov know anything about an instrument which tlioy aro incapable of rending, and paihnps uevor heard of Ik*fore its being mentioned to thorn in court. The applicant should lie made-to swear that he has read the Constitution or a: least understands its import. What is called Custom swearing should not be tolerated in so grave a matter as that of confearing the right to vote upon a foreigner. He should be compelled to give satisfactory evidence that lie knows to what he swears, and the whole purport and object of his oath. Witnesses should be required to be more explicit as to their knowI . 1 __ _ . * l? . . t> . i muge ox applicant*?ior, in many cases mey could not. if asked, tell wher. their knowlodge of the party commenced, or the number of year* which he has resided in thin country. They assume that his residence has been five years, because they have beun made to understand, that, unless he has resided here that term he cannot be made a citizen. With most foreigners, the first thing on their nrrivnl in this country is, to take the initiary steps to lieconie citizen*. They hi e eager to exercise the right of suffrage ; and many of them do uot wait six months before tliey aro seen at political gatherings, and at the polls, busily engaged in endeavoring to influence voters. Buch importin snce would be rebuked by any but a party which relied on such foreign influence for ta success. We hope that the lime ha* passed when these things can be practised.

CRIME AMONG SLAVES. i From the number of negroes now in our s jail, and the many who have been recently publicly punished by our authorities for committing various depredations, in our midst, we naturally conclude that there is oither a growing disposition on the part of our black population to commit crime, or a more vigilant eye is being opened upou them by our citizens and municipal officers. Ilecent disclosures have shown that some of thetn have been carrying on, for some time, a system of robbery and nefarious traflicing. Wo do not know that any whites have been implicated in the cases brought to the notice of our citizens. That there could be, . but few seem fb doubt. Quite a number of j drunken negroes have been found by our wAtchfu! patrol during the present month, and it is thought that there is cither a rtndevous for the procurement of liquor, or that a few low whites iu our midst supply theiu with it. The matter should be looked' into. Whilst upon the subject we would simply a?k if it would not be more beneficial (it would cartainly bo more decent,) if the slaves that nro to be whipped, could have the punishment indicted upon thern either in the jail yard or at some place out from the public square. We have never thought publicly whipping a criminal ever made him a better man, on the oontrary it almost invariably hardens his heart, and, consequently he sleeps himself still farther in crime upon his release. In this our public officers ' are not to blame, but we do think a remedy | for this evil may be had from some quarter, i Let us have it. fcjTAccordtny to a correspondent of the New-York Tribune a large number of men h ive been enlisted in New-Orleans for the | Central American expeditions of Kinney and i Walker, all of whom will go out armed. It I is said nUo iliat several wealthy planters | have subscribcd:a largo amount of money to the enterprise, while others have agreed to go down as soon as things are more settled, and Lake with them their slaves. Many who havo I enlisted have agreed to tako their families along. The fund guaranteed to Kixket for the promotion of his enterprise amounts to over five millions of dollars, and it is alleged that the object of the whole effort i? to secure the organization of a slave Suite in Central America, to be annexed to the Union. jOTPurchak* or Mount Vbknov.?It will be recollected by our readers that, some months ago, an effort was started by an association of patriotic ladies, for raising funds to purchase the property of Mount Vernon.

The success encourages them to persevere, and for the purpose of carrying out the design, a pnbiic meeting has been oalled at Philadelphia the 23d of October. r% o:_i i -.1 . ? vuv. m^iur ami uvuw cinuicni genilQIUAn are eapoeted to bo preaont and deliver Ad drease*.

Yours truly, BAYARD. Tho fall of Sebastopol The Crimea correspondent of the London Morning Herald, who h said to l>e well In formod, has returned to England, and hits written two articles on the subject of tho fall of Sebastopol, which hnve been highly commended. According to one of them, which is copied by the National Intelligencer, the allies are far from having nccomplhhed their work in the destruction of tho south side of Sebastopol. lie says that the formidable nature of the obstaclo the allies wilt have to surmount before the north ports can be attacked at all arc so great, that the winter will very probably be allowed to pass before it is attempted. A "march to the north side," which some of tho English journals appear to think a very en*y matter, he considers simply ridiculous. This intelligent correspondent says thnt the "Russians nave completed and perfected a line ofeaithwork* stretching otl the north side front the Belbek to tho vuiioy of Inkerman, and, above all, have thrown up tremendous works covering the road leading to the j north side of Trakter bridge and Mackent zie's farm. In order to inarch to the notth j side the allies must take the heights which t ..1. .* - -a > which are 100 Riecp in front to ever l>e scaled by any but expert c!in)l>era, and every I cliff of which is bristling with Russian redoubts and batteries. These heights could only be turned, and that, adds the correspondent, could only be accomplished by forcingthe Mackenzie road. lie then describes the Mackenzie road, which, it appears, is so narrow, so precipitins, so thoroughly commanded by the most formidable Russian batteries that "even bronze troops'gwould be "annihilated" who would attempt it. For two miles of this terrible nmrcb the allies would be exposed to a perfect * fire of ilell," without being allowed even to return a shot. There Ts no other way of turning these heights or gaining the north side of Sebastopol, from Halaklavn, by lund. "The troops that took the south side of Sebastopol might do anything, yet, I think," say* the correspondent, "even Pelluwier will pause before attacking the Mackenzie road. In such an attack, we might be unsuccessful, and we must be prepared to lose J?aJf our army." The writer eoneidem the campaign virtually cflused lot the summer, and believes that when it is recommenced, the allies will land again at KaI am it a, and llie glory of the first battle-of the Alma will taeu be eclipsed in the desperate struggle of the second. ?
