From Dr. Kane’s “ Arctic Ex oration peas in press *y Messrs. Childs & Petersen, ‘of Phils adelphia A Brush with Death. The next day gave us admirable progress. The ice opened in leads before us, somewhat tortuous, but, on the wholo, favoring. and for sixteen hours I never left the helm We were all of us exhausted when the day’s work came to a close Our allowance had been small from the first; but the delays we seemed fated to encounter had made me reduce them to what I then thought the minimum quantity, six ounces of bread dust and a lump of tallow the size of a walnut; a paste or broth, made of these before sctting out in the morning, and distributed occasionally through the day in scanty rations, was our only fare. We were alt of us glad when, running the boats under the lee of a berg, we were able to fill our ket- tles with snow and boil up for our great res torative, tea. I may remark that, under tho circumstances of most privation, I found no comforter 80 welcome to the party as this.— We drank immoderately of it, and always with advantage. While the men slept after their weary labor McGary and myself climbed the berg for a iew ahead. It was a saddening one. We had lost sight of Cary Island; but shoreward. up Wostenholme channel, the ice seemed as if it had not yet begun to yield to the influences of summer. Everything showed how intense the last winter had been. We were close upon the Ist of July, and had a right to look for the North Water of the Whalers where we now had solid ice or clove pack, both of them al- most equally unfavorable to our progress — Par off in the distance—how far I could not measure—rose the Dalrymple rock. projecting from the lofty precipice of the is!and ahoad; but between us and it the land of ice epread itself from the base of Saunder’s Island un- broken to the far south. The next day’s progress was of course slow and wearisome, pushing through alternate ice and water for the land belt We fastened at last to tho great floe near the shore, making our harbor in a crack which opened with the changes of tide The imperfect diet of the party was showing itself more and more in the decline of their muscular power. They seemed scarcely aware of it themselves, and referred the difficulty they found in dragging and pushing to some- thing uncommon about the ice or sludge ratber than to their own weakness. But, as we endeavored to renew our labors through the morning fog, bolted in on all sides by ice- fields so distorted and rugged as to defy our efforts tu cross them, the truth seemed to bur:t upon every one. We had lost the feeling of hunger, aud were almost satisfied with our pasty broth aud the large draughts of tea which accompanied it. I was anxious to send our small boat, the Eric, across to the lamme hill Appah, where I knew from the Esqui maux we should find plenty of birds; but the os of the party was insufficient to drag er. We were sorely disheartened, and could only wait forthe fog to rise, in the hope of some smoother plattorm than that which was about us, or some lead that might save us the painful labor of tracking I had climbed the iceberg, and there was uothing in view except Dalrymple Rock, with its red brassy face tow- ering in the unknown distauce. But I hardly get back to wy boat before a gale struck us trom the northeast, and a floe, taking upon a tongue of ice about a mile to the northeast of us, began to swing upon it like a pivot and close slowly in upou our narrow resting place At first our own floe was driven before the wind ; but in a little while it encountered the stationary ice at the foot of the very rock it- self. On the instant the wildest imaginable ruin rose round us. The men sprang mechan- ically each one to bis station, bearing back the boats and stores; but I gave up for the moment all hope of our escape. It was not a nip, such as is familiar to Arctic navigators, but the whole platform where we stood, and for hundreds of yards on every side of us, crumbled and crushed and piled and tossed itself madly under the pressure I do not be- lieve that of our little body of men, all of them disciplined in trials, able to measure danger while combating it—I do not believe there is one who this day can explain how or why—hardly when, in fact—we found our- selves afloat. We only kuow that in the midstof aclamor utterly indescribable through which the braying of a thousand trumpets could no more have been heard than the voice of a man, we were shaken and raised and whirled and let down again in a swelling waste of broken bummocks, and as the men grasped their boat hooks in the stiliness that tollowed, the beats eddied away in a tumul- tueus skreed of ice and snow and water. We were borne along in this manner as long asthe unbroken remnant of the inshore flue continued revolving—utterly powerless, and catching a glimpee every now «and then of the brazen headland that looked down on us through the snowy sky. At last the floe brought up agaiust the rocks, the louser fra,- »ments that hung round it begun to separat:, and we were abie by our oars and boat hools to force our battered little flotilla clear ot them. To our joyful surprise, we soon found ourselves in a stretch of the land water wide enough to give us rowing room, and with the assured promise of land close ahead. As we neared it, we saw the same forbid- ding wall of belt ice as at Sutherland and Hakluyt We pulled along its margin, seek- ing in vain either an opening of access or a nook of shelter. The gale rose, and the ice began to drive again; but there was nothing to be done but get a grapnel out to the belt and hold on for rising tide. The Hope stove her bottom and lost part of her weather boarding, and ali the boats were badly chafed. It was an awful storm; and it was not without constant exertion that we kept afloat, bailing out the scud that broke over us, and warding off the ics with boat-hooks At three o’clock the tide was high enough for us to ecale the ice cliff One by one we pulled up to the boats upon a narrow shelf, the whole sixteen of us uniting at each pull. We were too much worn down to unload ; but a deep and narrow gorge opened in the cliffs almost at the spot where we clambered up; and as we pushed the boats into it on an open keel, the rocks seemed to close above our heads, until an abrupt turn in the course of the ravine placed a protecting cliff between us and the gale. We were completely enoaved. Just as we had brought in the last boat, the Red Eric, and were shoring her up with blocks ot ice, a long unused but familiar and unmis- takable sound startled and gladdened every ear, and a flock of eiders flecking the sky for a moment passed swiftly in front of us. We knew that we must be at their breeding grounds ; and, as we turned in wet and hun- ry toour long coveted sleep, it wes only to peels of eggs and abundance. We remained almost three days in our crys tal retreat, gathering oege the rate of twelve hundred aday. Outside, the storm raged without intermission, and our egg bun- tora found it difficult to keop their feet; buta merrier set of gourmands thun were gathered within never surfeited on genial diet On the 3d of July the wind began to med- erate, though the snow still fell heavily ; and the next morning after a patriotic egg nog, liquor borrowed grudgingly from our aloobcl flask, and dilutea till ie was worthy of tem rance pruise—we lowcred our boats, and ae ‘& grateful farewell to “ Weary Man's est.

Dated August 12, 1856 _— Tue Great Rervstic —This monster ship, the pride and boast of the American me chant fleet, not only on account of her great size and beauty of model, but also for ber un- surpassed sailing qualities, bas arrived back home, after an absence of nearly two years, during which time she has been em joyed, together with a large number of other Ameri- can ships of all sizes, in the French transport service, during the war in the Crimea. Some idea of her capacity may be gathered from the fast that on one of her from Mar seilles to Kamiesch she carried 497 cavalry horses, for whose accommodation the entire length of the two between decks wero par- titioned into stalls, besides over 500 troops, and the provisions and forage necessary fur the voyage. Un her last return trip from Se- bastopol she brought to Marseilles over 3090 infantry besides her own crew, and a large corps of cooks, servants and waiters, required for the Commissary department, and this tov ith ber hold full of guns of great size, shells, age, and the necessary water and pro- in every port she bas visited, she has been thronged with people of all classes, whose wonder and admiration at her enormous size and beauty have been expressed. Yet it would be unfair to contend that to this ship alone is due such a favorable idea of our merchant marine. Other ships such as the Monarch of the Sea, Titan, Queen of Clip- pers, Ocean Herald, tiuantlet, White Faloon, and a host of others, all of great size, beauty and speed have been en in the same service, and by their superior efficiency have supplicd immensely the pressing wants of the peculiar trade in which they bave been en- gsged. To their officers and crews, the hor- rors of war, without its more immediate dan- gers, it is true, have been too familiar, and lopg may it be before another occasion arises to employ these splendid ships in a similar service —NWew Fork Express. Powgr or Car-Braxes —Brakes canuot stop a train of carsinstantly If 5 aon too lightly they lock the wheels,’’ but they can- uot prevent the whole from slipping along on the smooth track. A writer in the Boston Railway Times bas figured out the result of locking the wheels at various speeds, and finds that at a 5) of 6 miles per hour a train would slide 9 feet; at 20 miles, 100 feet; and at a speed of 60 miles hour @ train would slide, in ordinary condition of the track, a distance of 900 feet, or over one-sixth of a mile, in spite of all that brakes or even ran- ners or drags under the wheels could do to prevent it. This is assuming thatevery wheel is braked or locked, which is never the case in practice —the locomotive, the heaviest mass in the train, being without brakes, although if the locomotive was reversed, the effect would not be much less in diminishing the momentum. He concludes that, from the very nature of the case, brakes cannot ever be relied on as » safeguard against accidents. Accidents must be avoided mainly by suitable ents ia running tho trains, and brakes are at best only @ means of softening—very rarely of averting entirely—the collisions which occur from defective management. Maexeric [nox.—A co jent of the New York Scientific American, writing from Bicomfield, N. J , says that on a railway pear that town there is an uphill —— north-west of eighty or ninety tothe wile, on which each of the indi | rails is amag- net, the upper end being ee and the lower end a North pole presumes that on all inclined railwsy grades the case is the same, no matter what may be the d r-ction, or from what mine the iron came, e+ there is a law of magnetism, thet all bare of iron become magnets the moment you raise them from a horizontal position. This mag- netic law, he thinks, has not been considered enough on board of vessels, in relation to jucal attraction, and he adds, that it hasdoubt- Jess been the cause of their running on shore sometimes. ritaa! ‘cognoscence opoolumnient spiritu- me ae of subsultory
