It has always been considered to join the waters of Davis and Hudson’s straits; but his dis- covery docs away with the idea. The map which we publish herewith marks the terminus as stated by Mr. Hail. ‘We are muck in the dark respecting the eorrect shore yine of the greater part of the Arctic coast. To obtain it would be almost impossible, for the masses of jee which are continually surrounding the thore prevent any positive determination of the subject. Chances may be offered, when the season is favorable, to fill up the gape that now remain; but years must pass before auy certain knowledge can be obtained of the exact shape of the Arctic shores, if we are ever able to cbtain ft. These are now many indentations marked on the shore line on every map that have no existence in fact,and when examined, as Frobisher’s Straits have » 00a by Mr. Hail, will be found to have existed only in the fancy of the engraver or in the imagination of some whaler, who, becanse there was an indentation in the ice surrounding the coast, naturally thought the land must take the rame formation. Mr. Hall reports having exammod over,a thousand miles of coast. This will prove of importance, and will add much to our present information respecting tho country. His explorations appear to have bees confined to Davis’ Straits an‘ to the southward of the parallel of 67 decrees, ge tho despatch makes no mention of his having been $0 the worthsrard of Cape Walsingham by water. Hie jourver to the interior must have been of au ex- credingly snteresting character, and, bul he boon able to ~* sat bis ideas of consiant intercourse with the carry Fsyuimaax, he w. 7 formation of ail tho poor fellows wud remain yet to be accounted for, aud who have be voabt laid their bones in tho frozon Tegions Of {g¢ north, berides being able to obtain an exteratte and correct knowledge of the ountry, of which we have c aratively no certain information, How far bis rerearches have been carried on shore and among the natives woe do not yet learn; but wo feel fatisfied that one who has the bnergy to carry out ashore line examtastion of over a thousand miles in @ region of constant ice end snow will hive mate discoveries and obtuised infermation of the sntertor that wil be in all re | ppeets new, and that wil inerease the desire to have farther information regarticg these desolate reyions Dy the deapatcbes we learn that among his other dis coverics Mr. Hah Rae ettamed information which has probably determined the fate of the two boats’ crews of Sir John Frank?in's expedition who perished in endeay There can be no doubt that had the va ng to returt living with them for a time and gaining their friendship. In this way they will be induced to give information that will be all the world will desire, and which might have been acquired long ago and for a tithe of the money that bas been expended on expeditions that have virtually amounted to nothing. The discovery, also, of the remains of five men captured from Frobisher on hie first voyage, and the identification of the exact place of their landing, proves how much valuable information can bo obtained where the search is made ina proper manner. Frobisher’s voyages had ceased to be thoaght of; they had become matters of history, and only used for reference; and that now, at this late day, information should be had which forms an important addition to them, no one could have deemed possible. Mr. Hall bas also obtained information of the existence of a great gia- cior and mountains of foasile between Hudson's “Straits and Frobisher’s Bay, and has, we apprehend, much other information respecting the onriosities of the interior that has not been transmitted by telegraph. ‘The eucecas of Mr. Hall proves that he has hit upon the proper method to make successful Arotic explorations, and he should be encouraged to continue thom. Our map will show the immense field that remains to be examined, and there are thousands who are willing and saxious to nodertake the work, previded they receive encourage- ment and aasistanee from those who aro interested in knowing more of that droary but highly interesting ve map which we give to-day is very (ull and oom- plete, and nffords a» good study for those who are in- terested in the opsrations and success of the different Arctie exploring expeditions, and ean ves examined by all with benefit. While we do net think that the information wo can gain respecting that part of our globo to the nerthward of the parakel of seventy degrees north, or to the southward of the same south, will be of any particular benefit, still it will be well to know all we can respecting every part of the globe on which we live; for there is no telling what we may eome to, and what advantage we may gain by being thoroughly posted even upon regions of ice and snow, where the only inhabitants are the polar bear and Arctic fox. Fondness for adventure wif lead men, so long as the world lasts, to seck new scenes of excitement, and Arctic explorers will never be found wanting; consequently we had better be familiar with the localities they haye fondness for, that we may ‘be able to follow their move- ments without the necossity for constant reference to a cumbersome atlas ot other works of an unwieldy nature. ‘The Arctic explorer gains Di knowledge by the most sevore experience. His tife is oc? Of toil, hargship and suffering, and it requires ef the most tndointabio “a 9 ss : energy to project, equl expedition that hag 9’ discomforts Of life without any of ite brighter features.

Notwithstanding the fatigue to which the gallant General has been subjected rince bis restoration to free- dom and return among his friends, and tho severe test to ° which his powers of endurance have boen put, it was & good omen to see him afoot yesterday mectiig all there- | quirements of the occasion. At one o’cloek he arrived at the Astor House, aitendod by several of the members of the Committee on National Affairs, and proceoded to the room specially set apart for his use. Here he was soon surrounded by a host of friends, all anxious to shake hands with him and to express their welcoine and their delight that he was once more umongst them. The Messrs. Stetson had patriotically proffered some very suitable rooms to be used as the General's head- quarters, and which would have been accopted, but that the committee had selected the St. Nichoias Hotel for this purpose. His stay in the Astor House was short, ‘as he was anxious to return ag soon a8 possile to the quiet of his home, being much in need of rest and quiet. Before he left, however, the following telegram was brought to him:— Gen, Micmamt Corcoran, New York:— ‘Will you gratify the citizeas of Poston by permitting them to hear your voice in old Faneu!!
