Sr. Jouxs Grand Tournament at Loulsvitle. {From the Cincinnati Enquirer, Uctoder 18.} ‘This affair, with which the Southwestern Agri- | cultural Association wound up its week’s Industrial Exbibition, is variously spoken off by the Louisville press. The Democrat treata it with a degree of hu- morons irony that takes it off very well. The other city papers are fall of eulogy. The vast amphithea- tre presented a jificent spectacle. More than five thousand beautiful women were seated around the arena, and amore rare collection of aged it has never been our good fortune to witness. Ken- tucky isfamous for its beautiful women, and not witbout good reason. They certainly are charming, whether lighted up with exhilaration of their gay hearts, or with cowncast eyes listeuing to some tender tale. We do not know bow we can better convey an idea of the performances—the feats of chivalry—than making a brief extract from the very grapaic quaint description of the Democrat: There was the herald and then came ten knights, Greased out to Fili—the Knight of Virginia, and of Jeffer- son, ond of Berkely, and of the Plains, ard of the ———, couldn’t bear what)—~snd then Rhoderick Dhu, and the inherited, and the Black Knight, and the Kvight of Beargrsse—ye gods! and, las: of all, Young america—a bey of twelve or fourteen years, on 6 fractious pony.

The Knight of ew was declared the victor, and Rooderic Dhu and the Knight of the Plane his seconds in chivalry. The Knight of Virginia, in the exercise of his privilege as victorious Kuight, selected Miss Julia Chamberlain as Queen of Love and beauty. Rhboderic Dau, bei next to the Knight of inja, selected Miss Molly Brent as first Maid of Honor. The Knight of the Plane, (Carpenter,) being third best, selected as second Maid of Honor Miss Sophy Ranony. Misses Chambetlain and Brent then made their appearance, and were crowned as‘ Qaeen of Love ap Beauty” and “‘ First Maid of Honor,” and Tom Phillips made a clever speech (of which here is a biick) cn crowning the Queen: ~ z: Tapy: The pleasing dut; me to place upon your brow this Sracetal eroblem of Love’s devotion to Beauty.

Jas. McKyioar. The Arctic Exploring Expeditions, The recent intelligence of the discovery of Sir Jobn Frarklin’s remains, gives additional interest to the following, which we take from the Cort Ex- aminer, of the 29th ult.:— At 10 o'clock yeate: the Phoenix, screw, oas of the last expedition fitted out by the British go- vernment for the North Sea, dropped anchor in oar waters, having on board Captain McClure, the ne- ro of arcti: pavigation, acd several of the crew of his vessel. wil be remembered that in the May of 1850 an expedition was sent for the double « pose of ascertaining the fate of Sir John Franklia aud of continuing oration of the ten erry | northwest passage. This expedition consisted of two veesela, the Investigator, commanded by Cap- tain M’Clure,end the csi te the com: mand of Captsia Collinson, the first of which guc- ceeded in proving the existence of 9 sea paasage along the northern coastof America. Up totie year 1852 no account had arrived of the fate of those vescels, and accordingly an expedition waa fitied out under the commacd of Sir Edward Belcher, consisting of his own ship, the Assistance, the Re- solute, Captain Kellett, the Intrepid, Captaia McClintock, and the Pioneer, Captain Os- borne, to fe, to their assistance. Thus, there were then gether six chijs engaged ia prose- cuting the investigation, in which alone Captaia McCiure bad been successful. Inthe May of this ear the Pheevix, screw, ard the North Siar,and ‘albot, atoresbips, were sent out to the relief of those vessels, and on their arrival they found the whole of ae two pemes, Ce pdr Bator ee ex- ception, t Enterprize, completel up ia ee ice in the distiot manent Vaibcetie Sound, Beechey {eland,and Wellington Straits. * ville Bay the ice was found to be worse than It had been for forty-seven years before, and everything gave promise of a winter unpreceden'edly rigorous, while there was no prospect whatever of getting the ships free this summer. [Jnder these cir. um- stances, Sir Edward Belcher, on his own reaponsibi- lity, ordered the abandonment of the entite tive ve , which were accordingly left to taeir fate, and the crews distributed among the atoreahi»s. [t was at Beechey Ielard the latter landed, and the crews of the abandoned vessels had to procesd a distance of two hundred miles overland to teach them. The Phenix has brought home we grester part of the crew of the Reaolate, a few of that of tha Assistance, and one officer and one moa, basidze Capt WClure, of the Investigator. The vess-is sailed together until they met with adverse winds off the Orkney Islends, when they pa:t- ed company, the Picsix steamiog for Queens town, where she could coal, and she others ov- liged to beat up as well as they coula for La- dor. The Phoexix has, usfortanately, brought ao decided intelligence of the ovly sof the lata expedition row missing, the Eo' ; but Cap- tain Mc Clore stated that he feels coufident of ner safety. It is conjectured that the ship had got ino one of the numerous creeks or bajson the western coast of the North American continent; that sha had bean abandoned by the crew, aup that the lat- ter were making their way over the land. These conjectures have been formed from s number of concuriipg circumstences, but the was from the nature of a numbes of ‘ollinson, z s 3 i E ze 8 Eeayess it i 8 att g a3 ot cltfons has been to achieve an feat vaval daring aud tosolve a pioblem has bafil: the efforts cf the navigators of four centuries. these achievements it is no gratification our national pride that Irishmen have a and distinguished position.
