The buliding is now under obarge of the Public Administrator, one of whose officials stands like aCerberus at the door, persistantly re'usieg evtrance to all.

Suche wan was Dr. Kane. Modest as a women. gentle as a obild; he was not only fo bearing towards others, but always ready to exouse offences against himself, Of these traits his Arctic journals bear abundant evidence, and those who accompanied bim on his expeditisus have the same to say of him as bis family and carly asso ciates—that it wea impossible to moot with a more perfect or loveable choracter. Ths loss of each a maa to the scientific world wili bo tmmensc—to his family and bis countrymen It will be irreparable. No monument that can be erected to his memory oan express the intensity of grief that will be felt at his orewature death, for be was young in yoars, though ripe in al! the honors that the world can bestow. As there is but too much reason to foar that this tutell! gence will receive its last fata confirmation by the next arrival, we feel that we are only antisipsting tho wishes of our readers by presenting them with a brief ak-tch of the life of this distingu'‘sbed man. Every thing that re lates to bim will be road with eager interest, and the bastily propared outline that we give will mo doui soon be Billed up by others haying more time to do jurtice tp the subject. Dy, Elisha Kent Kane was born tp Philadelphia in 1822 Nearly a third of bis life was consumed tn travel out of the Limits of the United States, No man of his years, bowevor, was more thoroughly acqualated with the geo grapbical features of bis own country He was educated at the Universities of Virginia and Ponvsylvania, gra duating as a doctor of medicine in 1843, His graduation ‘thesis on ‘‘Kyestine’’ was crowned by the faculty, and fs stil cited as authority is the books of the profession. Immediately afier receiving his degree be was ap pointed upon the diglomatio stat rgeon to tho first American embassy to China. Ae availed nimeelf of the facilities afforded by bis position to explore the Philip- pices, most of which travel, including Camarines and Mindoro, was made on foot. His char sare still pre served, but @ believe have noi been publish ed, His associate during @ portion of this expiora- tion, the lamented young Baron Loe, of Prussia, sank under the eects of the hardship and exposure which attended upon it, sud died InJava lr. Kane Sevoted much attention to the volcanic region of Albay, cupecting 0 connec! bis observations with subse jaoat ravels in Sombava. His sojoura among tho Negritos aud Araiuras was oue of romantis interest. He was the first who deaoonded tho crater of tne Tasl, upon ehich and has even contaminated the usually obliging officer Davis. Netther of these gentlemen would teil the reporters whether the Misses Cunniogham were in the house or not, or where the little boys were. THE FAMILY OF MRS. CUNNINGHAM. Tho two young Iadies and the two boys are stil! in the hovse No 31 Bosd street, the former from necosity, the latter from choice. The girls are detaiued as witnesses, ‘by order of the Coroner, to await the action of the Grand Jury, Tho District Attorney says that he doos not want them, so tt is probable that they will soon be re leased, either with or without a habeas oor.us. Mrs. Cunpirgbam intends to keop the boys with thoir sisters for & sbort time, and then to send them to school. As to the report that the oblidren were in the house of the “Sisters of Mercy,’’ the following letter from the Lady Bupertor will explain iteeif:— JG Bewwerr, faq -— The Sisters of Yercy will feel grateful to Mr Beunott if he will have the kindness to contradict the tnclosed mo tice, #bioh appeared in the fribune of this morniag: —~ ‘We understand it is the intention of the authorities to place them in the Convert of the Sisters of Mercy, it Housion street until! their case ta disposed of.
