Nrw Yomk, May 10.—A dispatch from’ 8t. Johns, N.

This party, which had becn landed from the ship Polaris, wero driven from her by s gale,’ which burst lmr ‘moorings on the 15th of Octo- ber, 1872, in Iatitude 72 degrees 85 minutes. ‘When they last saw the Polaris she was under steam and canvas, msking for a harbor on the east side of Northumberland Ialand. She had 1o more boats left of six which ahe brought with her from the port of New York. Two were lost in the northern expedition ; two were landed on the ice with Captain’' Tyson's party; one was ‘burnt a3 firewood to make water for the crew, and the other is on board of the Tigress. THE ‘‘ POLARIE ™ was in commana of Capt. Buddington, whohad thirteen of the crew along with him, and a plon- tifal stock of provisions.

' The rescued party suffered vary much during- their dreary drift from hunger and cold. For. the Iast two months they ate raw seal and polar bear as’ they could get it. “When met by the Tigress they showed evident signs of their great sufferings, but during the nine. dsys that they have been. on board they have improved vastly, snd are now in fair health. ’ The party is in cbiargo of tho United Btates Consul, and will arrive in t. Johns on Monday pext. . CAPT. TTEOX'S NARRATIVE. ‘The following statement is {nmmhed by Capt. Tyson’: - On *ha 24th of Angust, 1871, we lalt Tushuak | and went throngh Smith's Sound.
