These vessels taade their way north in Smith's Sound up to lat. 79 30, when they were stopped bytheice. While working their way in toward shore they discovered an In- dian villoge, at which they learned that Dr. Kane and his party had gone south. They then retarned to Driseoe’s Island, where they found the objocts of their search. Dr Kane pushed his vessel (the Rescue) as far north es 81 deg., where she was frozen in. He rewained by her all winter, sending to the Indian villoge for provisions. Tn the spring he sbanioned the ship and made his way southward sledges t» Uppernavik, from whence he was conveyed in a Danish vessel to Drise Tland, and was there found by the exp n of Lieut.

The Elections.—The returns which we have this morning received from private correspond- ents on whom we rely, indieate that Plummer (Dem.) will have from 10,000 to 15,000 plu- rality over Nicholson (K. N. Fusion) for Canal Commissioner in Pennsylvanis. The new Leg- islature is overwhelmingly Demooratic, which secures the Democrats the United States Sena tor to be chosen at Harrisburg next winter. Our friends at Colambus telegraphed us last evening, at alate hour, as follows: “ Election close ; Chase probably elected ”* From the returns we have seen, our impret- sion is that Chase has from 5,000 to 10,000 plu- rality over Medill. At the Ohio election, last year, the anti- Democratic majority was just 77,423 votes. The chenge, therefore, is almost astounding, the loss of the opposition being more than 65,000. Those who voted for Trimble will not vote in the Presidentiel election for any one with abolition proclivities. Trimble’s vote will be between 20,000 ani and 30,000. Monsieur Trop Tard.—The letter in the New York Herald of the 8th instant, all about the Dominican question, is simply a rehash of what has long since been published officially, and more especially in the elaborate speech of Senator Mason, on the subject of our Domini- can relations, The writer, of course, dresses up those facts with a liberal garnishing of cocks and bulls. As told in the official documents, tho interference, which was indeed very dis tasteful to us, was only in the way of influ. encing, if possible, the shape cf a treaty then being formed. It will be recollected that Gen Cass interfered, and thus prevented France from making 2 slave-trade treaty, which threatened to prove injurious to American rights aud interests; and also that his inter- ference in that case was specially commended and endorsed by this Government. Now, that fact strikes us 2s an estoppel to action on the part of this Government, making the sim- ilar interference of France and England to prevent Dominica from concluding a treaty with us, which, they allege, threatened griev- ous harm to these interests. By the by, we recollect that when the mat- ter was a subject of conversation in foreign diplomatic circles in this city, those who are generally believed to know the views of the French and English legations here, affirmed that the real cause of their interferenco wes an indirect declaration by a party—thcn in Domiuica—inyvolved in the negotiations on the American side, that this government was desirous of obtaining the port of fa- mana, for the particular purpose of msh- ing it a point from which American fillibusters might precipitate themselves on Cuba. As a matter of course, it was untrue that this gov- ernment ever entertained any such idea, and Wwe trust and believe that it is equally untrue that any one identified with the government, directly or indircetly, uttered anything in jus- tifying or approving fillibustering, that might fairly be construed into such an intimation. Lippincott’s Pronouncing Gazetteer —We heartily welcome this’ publication. We have had scores after scores already of pronouncing dictionaries of the common words of our lan- guage, which pronunciation almost overybody ean get at tolerably well without a dictionary, while we have been left to grope about in the dark without any guide in regard to the pro nunciation of the names of places, whore mis- takes are more frequert and less easy to cor- rect by means of personal intercourse. There is a pronouncing dictionary of proper names annexed to that great humbug of humbugs, Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary, which, al- though certified as perfect by a long list cf Presidents of the United States, Cabinet Min- isters, and member of Congress, who could never have examined it, contains more gross blunders in orthography, etymology, and pro nunciation than any and all other dictionaries printed in the United States put together. Lippincott’s Pronouncing Gazetteer is a vast improvement, both in theory and in execution. But in looking into this pronouncing diction- ary we fiad some blunders so monstrous as to be altogether discreditable to the editors. For instance, we have this word ‘‘ Bownay (Port. Bom, or Boa Bahta,* i.e. ‘ Good Harbour.”’) Now, Bom Bahia is not Portugmese, or any- thing else. It is mere nonsense and grammat- ical impossibility. Boa Bahia is Portuguese; but Boa Bahia does not represent in sound Bombay. The truth is, that the derivation of the name ‘“ Bounay’’ has nothing whatever to do with the Portuguese fur “* Good Harbour,’’ but is derived from s native name which the Portuguese found there; being that of the god- dess Mowta Devi. Bowsay and Mowna are the same word, the labial M having slided, in Portuguese pronunciation, into the labial B. The Very Last Wrinkle.—The London Morning Post advocates the employment of North American Indians by its Government as troops in Crimea! Its article upon the sub- ject is an exceedingly funny one, demonstrat- ing one of two facts, vis., either that England is even more desperately put to it to gbtain her complement of troops to fight the Rus- sians, or that the editor of the London Morn- tng Post is as green as grass—is lamentably ignorant uot only of the truo character, habits, and mode of warfare of the North American Indians, but of the description of soldiers that can prove serviceable to the allies in the Crimea. We quote the journal on the subject. of the 10th of September, ultimo, as follows : ‘And, without introducing tho practices of savages to the warfare on behalf of civiliza- tion, there is no doubt we might find most val uable irregular troopsin the North American Indians, not as fighting men, but as scouts. The stealthy character of their own sy:tem of war would §t them admirably for the task of watching the cnemy, and not a movement could escape their vigilance. It is worthy of note, that of the four great acticus which have taken place since our troops landed in the Crimea, two have partaken largely of the character of surprises, and it is not too much ef the disadvantage arising from want of prep- aration would have been obviated in both cases had a body cf Red Men been prowling during the preceding night in the valley of the Tehernaya.”’” Gross Calumuies in the Tribune.—Our at- tention has bee# called to a letter purporting to be from one William H. Taylor, of Palmyra, Missouri, published in the New York Tribune, and copied into the Hera/d and other papers, entitled “Great Land Frauds in Missouri— Collusion between President Pierce and Goy- ernor Price.’” We are authorized to say that there is not one word of truth in the state- mouts contained inthis letter; that it is out- rageously false in its conception and execution. The subject of patents for swamp lands in Missouri was not mentioned to the President by Governor Price, neither were any direc- tions on the subject givep to the Land Office by the President or any member of his Cabi- net. The writer of the letter deals in lan- guage which is insulting to the dignity of the high office of the President, and displaysa total lack of that courtesy which is due to’ the Chief Magistrate, and renders himself an ob- ject of merited scorn, not only by the ing effrontery of his calumnies, but as well by the billingsgate he has employed in their ut- terance. : Changes in the Stations, &c., of Navy Officers on Shore Duty.—At the Portsmouth (N. HL) navy. yard, Commander Pickering. recently promoted, takes the place of Capt. Pearson, also recently promoted and detached. Lieut. A. G. Cleary has been ordered to that yard, in place of Pickering, promoted. At the Boston yard, Commander Theo. P: Green; recently promoted, takes the place of Capt.

Hi. Poor, has been ordered to take the place of Capt. Samucl Barron, recently promoted and detached. On the receiving ship at Norfolk, Com- mander John R, Tucker takes the place (in command) of Commander John Manning, de- tached. Tho Central American Expedition.—The Baltimore Sun says: ‘+ According toa corree- pondent of the New York Tribune; a large number of men have been enlisted in New Orleans for the Central American expeditions of Kinney and Walker, all of whom will go oatarmed. It is said, also, that several wea'- thy planters have subscribed a large amount of money to the enterprise, while others have agreed to go down as soon as things are more settled, and take with them their slaves. Many who have enlisted have agreed to take their families along. The fund guarantied to Kinney for the promotion of his enterprise amounts to over five millions of dollars, and itis alleged that the object of the whole efort is to secure the organization of a slave State in Central America, to be annexed to the Union.” This humbug is worthy of note only so far as it seems to illustrate the vagaries of that really, at this time, vagrant sheet, the New York Bvexing Post, which, while eternally spouting crazy abolitionism in one column, is as pertinaciously spinning falsehoods in the next column, to help along this alleged project fer adding a new slave-holding State to the Union. Dropped.—The President has ordered the name cf Capt. Alexander W. Reynolds, Assist- ant Quartermaster, to be dropped from the U. 8. army from tke &th of October instant. Cause—his failure to render his accounts with- in the period prescribed by law, and an al- leged deficit in his account, which has not been satisfactorily accounted for. Doctor's Disagreeing. —The American Or- gan rejoices over the defeat cf the coalition in Pennsylvania as a death-blow to ‘‘Republi- canism,’ on which it charges that regult; while the New York Tribune is no less de- lighted with it, because, as it alleges, it drives the last nail ia the coffin of Know Nothingism, which, it insists, was the real issue on Tuesday last in the Keystone State. So they go. The U. 8. Ship Constellation.—The Navy Department have late advices from this yes- ecl, now in the Mediterranean, under the com- mand of Capt. Bell. She arrived at Gibral- tar on the 8th of September, from Fayal. Since leaving Fayal those on this ship had been remarkably healthy. She was to have left on the 15th ultimo, for Speszia. The Current Oporations of the Treasury Department.—On yesterday, 11th of Ovtober, there were of Treasury Warrants entered on the books of the Déepartment— For the redemption of stocks.... $8,238 69 For the Treasury Dopartment.... jpartme: 37,010 00 214 59 6,800 50 Borthe Customs....++.. oe War Warrants received and en- War repay warrants received and entered... 28,770 80 From Customs. . 158 00 From miscellaneous sources...... Or or Axornzr Verpict.—In the Deleware coun- ty court ot Common Pleas, Ohio, a jury has just awarded $3,000 damages to a bt ees of Ashley, against the Cleveland, Columbus £ Cincinnati Railroad company, for injury sustained by his wife, who was injured last autumn by one of the locomotives on that road. Such verdicts are becoming so frequent that they might have the effect to teach rail- way mani more care. 281 29 tgrt is suggested that, as twenty-six phy- sicians in attendance an the sick at Norfolk and Portsmouth have fallen while in the dis- charge of their duties, inquiry should be made whether any cf them have left families unpro- vided for, and if so, that they a3 well as or- phans, already remembered, should be pecu- niarily assisted. pent ene ewan ee tg An interesting experiment was latel: periormed by Pr fessor Farraday. A dis. mond, held by a little platinum clamp and ig- uited to whiteness in the oxy-hydrogen flame was plunged while incandescent into » jar of cxygen. It was speedily dissipated into gas, which was proved to be carbonic acid. eee A “Pointgp’’ Fieurs.—The Rev. E. H.

The disease is still on the decline at Norfolk and Portsmouth, and it is thought that absen- tees may return with safety in about ten or fifteen days. Due notice of the proper time will be given by the Sanitary Committee of Portsmouth.

People seem to be aroused, ard are stirring about as it was their wont to do befure the appearance of the fever. Those who left to escape the pestilence are returning. Mr. Charles Waterman, who died to-day, came in town to see his sister, was taken down zi the fever immediately, and is now beneath e sod. Every family has been called upon to mourn some dear departed one; in many instances entire families have been swopt off; and sixt: have been sent to the House of Refuge, wit! none to claim them, besides those that have been provided for in families of this city, in Richmond, in Petersburg, and other places. The Portsmouth Transcript (for which we are indebted to to John H. Myers, Esq., who arrived in this city last evening) confirms the announcement of the death of the Rey. Francis Devlin, pastor of St. Panl’s (Catholic) church, on Tuesday, saying: = Fipsk — — be trussed b dian co igh, who havo been actively e: in the dintarge of the duties of their holy vocation, isno more. The Rev. Francis Deviin,a holy priest cf the Church of Rome, who had the pastoral care of St. Paul’s church in this place, expired yesterday He had partially recoy- ered from an attack of the fever some weeks ago, but suffered a relapse from which he nev- er entirely recovered. ¢ saw him out and spoke to him on Friday afternoon, and though he looked very much reduced, we had cher- ished the fond hope that he would be spared. From the commencement ef the sad times from which we are emerging up to the period ef his attack, he had been actively and faithfully en- gaged in ministering to the sick and dying, since which time he been mostly confined to his bed. Ho was anexemplary, mild, hum- ble and Godly, and has no doubt gone to reap the reward of his firm adherence to duty un- der the most appaling circumstances. His course formed an example worthy of all imi- tation, and it affords us sincere gratification, as it enables us to exercise a sweet privilege, thus to do homage to a character which we have always esteemed. Such, we estimate, wasthe compeer cf Cuisholm and of Eskridge.”’ (Correspondence: of the Evening Star.] Portsmourn, Oct 10, 1855. We have had some quite cool weather lately, but to-day it is again warm. I believe the fever has ent‘rely dis»ppeared. We have no new cases; but there are a fow old ones or re- lapses that may prove fatal. Some of those persons who tock refuge in the country have returned to town, aud it is feared that the fever will take hold of them; if it should, Ged only knows when we shail entirely get clear cf it. I would not advise any one to come here until after the first of November, as by that time, perhaps, if the weather proves favora- ble, the atmosphere may be perfectly pure and healthy. We had but two deaths yomarsay, the 9th, viz: child of Mrs. Conolly, and Rev. Mr. Devlin, of the Catholio Church. Mr. D. has worked hard to relieve the distress during the epidemic. This was the third time he had been down—once with the fever, and two re- lapses. Pure, good man! his work is done. May he rest in peace! I learn that our fellow-citizen, John T. Rustic, carpenter in the U. 8. Navy, to-day received orders for sea. This is regretted by many of our citizens, as Mr. R. has remained with us during the epidemic, doing efficient service for the causo of humanity, in laboring to supply the wants and in comforting the dis- tresses of our p:stilonce stricken people. We had hoped to have him with us upon the re- turn of good health, to weloome back the refugees, and unite in giving thanks to the Great Raler of the Universe that so many of us have been spared. May good health attend him in his avocation upon the briny deep Mr. Robert Copeland has entirely recovered from his recent attack of fever. Only cne death to report to-day—son of Mrs. Gaskins. c.

Freaks or 4 Map Ox —A great excitement was caused in the Eleventh ward by a mad ox running through the strects. The infuriated animal took a start at five o’clock from Can- non street. Ashe ran ong, he espied an old lady with a red shawl thrown over her head. Theoolor of the article, it appears, attracted his attention, he went after her. Catching the womin with his horns, the bu!l threw her to the pavement, and then jumped over her. A crowd soon gathered, and frightening the animal still more, he ran frantically up to Third street, leaving the old lady behind on the sidewalk, with only a few scratehes on her person. . The race between the bull and crowd was now getting to be very interesting, but the latter was fleetest on foot.
