From the report of Captain Koldewey, commander of the Germania, the principal vessel of the expedl- on, which, a3 previously mentioned, returned to Bremen on the 111h instant, we glean the following data:— Having left Bremerhaven June 15, 1809, we parted wompany with the Hansa July 20, Spoke the Steamer Lechive July 29, and seut letters by ber to Germany. Our course was due north; we kept slong the edge of the solid ice and did not encounter the loose until we had reached 74 dog. north latitude; got up steam, peuctrated the diff in @ westerly @irection for twelve hours; but, August 1, were stopyod by frm fee, with tho Pendulum Island in sight, We noticed beliind the pack ice, and close to tho Jand, en open track. Waiting unul August 3 fm the hope of a break, we had driitea to east ward; tho ico hayiag become looser, we wero mmabled to proceed by stvam; winding through shannels between laige ico fields, we weached, on the 6th, Savino Island, south of the Pendulum group and belonging to it. Pho following daya were employed in selentife Work, determining the geographical position of the island, which, 1¢ was found, had beon lata down oor- fecuy by Sabine; we aiso examined magnetic devia- ons.

Every- whero in an eastern direction, ‘excepting the utmost southern points of the islands, we saw the old ico perfectly intacs, Steamed southcast to Shauron Gand, reached Cape Philip Broxe and tollowed a shannel from ons to three miles wide, between the ‘soait tee and pack 1ce. The former was in many @laces piled up forty feot high by the immense pres- ‘eure of tho ico Holds.

A strong refraction, ‘which we found in evory direction, proved the ab- sence of any open water in toe north; after waiting #everal days wo turned back to te southern shore ef Shannon Island, with oa view of ex- emining it sclentiderliy. Bot loose at Capo Broke the Germania anchored Angust 16, in, three fathons of water. Shannon The land ico having Island Js much larger than laid down on the maps; its utmost northeast point was determined in 75 deg. 26 min., and18' deg. west longitude; its western east runs due north. The islond looks rather dis- mal Thore is barely enough vegetation in the plains of the west coast for the musk oxen, of which we found afew herds and killed one on the 16th, Coxtrary to our expectation the pack Ice was getting Stronger and gathoring between Shannon and Pon- @ulum islands. From day to day our place of moor. Ing became less safe. August 26, the exploration of the island belng finished and haying no chance fd 0 northward, wo steamed to Pendulum Island; our nly hope yet for an open’ng were the autumn somms, TAB YOUNG Icz, Tho young ico, which had been rapidly forming uring the last few nights of a thickness of several aches, compelled us, by going backward and forward ‘and using full steam, to break throuzh Is and open a Way.

We dropped anchor ©n the south side of Littie Pendulum on the 27th of Auzns, in five favnoms. ‘The trst part of Septom- ber was taken up by surveys and scieutific exaimina- tious on sliore, and hunting of musk oxen and rein- Te Notwithstanding some sovore gales tho ice showed Bo chinge. 1s was solid betwoon Shannon Island the mainiand and drew closer to us ail the thue, attempt to reach the Gale Hames Bay proved a failure.

We also found larga is of Inusk oxen and reindeer, of which wo could kill as many as we chose irom our tent, though our sieizgh being overloaded wo brought but few of them on board, wither we returned September 22. Here they had been making preparations for the Winter. The vessel had been moored further inside, Meat had been secured by the Killing of oxen, bears, reindeer and seahorse. Astrong gale in the night, from 20th to 21st, had not brokea up the young ice, Which was so strong that we walked on it to the PREPARING FOR THE WINTER, bebe Mire the ice we drew the vessel still farther tow: tho coast, uutil she was in ten feet of Watr ard but a short distance froin it.

Amid great hardships we reached Haystack April 3, where we killed o bear, which supplied us with meat and fuel. Haystack is not an island, a8 supposed, but is connected with tne maln- laud. THPEDIMENTS AND FATIGUTS. In latitude 70 deg. 24 min., we encountered 10030 snow, Which materially luterrupted our proyress; with the greatest efforts we could make only two geographical miles Pe day, leaving the maluland to our leit, The open to the south on tle coast of Greculand; on the east, protected by a long strip of land, allows the snow to gather here. Wo had to turn eastward again to get out of tals bay, end when we had dono so, and reavhea a s.nailer one, We found iW nec ry to make this the end of our explorations northward, The fatigues of the last days, the tntenss cold and quick consumption of our siores left no otier alternative, A norther blowing for three days compelled us to reduce our fare vo hatf rations. | We climbed several mountains in order to obtain a fair view of the coast; and, April 15, the weather baying turned fair, started again towards the north, mounting a hill 1,600 fost high ia 77 dez. 1 min. north Latitude and about 18 deg. 50 min. west longitude.

ON THE MOVE AGALN, July 13, returned on board. The Germania was now fully ready, aud on the 224 proceeded on her journey northward, We anchored at Capo Pallip Broke, as it Was necessary to form an-opinion con- cernutag the siate of the ice north of us. A channel ‘was seen along the land ice, which scemed to stretch nortuiward to @ considerable distance. It was at this time when an UNFORTUNATE CIROUMSTANOH was discovered, Which, aiaa! had a material influ. ence upon our journey, forcing us to a premature reireat from the ico flelds, ‘This wes the leaking of our boiler, Which became 80 serious that our efforts to repair 1t were futiie. Having followed the afore. #aid channel to 76 deg. 29 min. north latitude, but encountering agein heavy masses of ice, wo waited several days, during which we could perceive no motion of the same. New ice then began to form again, and the unanimous opinion was tu favor of turpiag southward, In the hope of making some als- coveries in that direction. August 3 we reached Cape Broer Ruys, where we tied to explore the ackensie Eatrance, Such an eutrance does not exist; there is bata low vaiicy and the Island of Bonnet as laid down on the map connects with the main iand, Numerous reiudeer were seen on this lowland, live of whici we killed in @ short ume. Discovering from & mountain seuth and west of Ben- net Isiand many swimming iceburgs we rounded the istuud on the following Gay, bat found the ico ulie fino st Cape Hranklin. Our supposition that these icebergs were coming froin a deep Inlet was contirmed by observations from & mountidin 4,000 fect high. We got toriy pounds sieam, which Was the best we could do, and, pushing our way throngh the drift, procecued westward between these icebergs. The farther we advanced the Warmer became the temperature and the water, It wa3 a grand Alpine ecenery—an unknown coun- try, the beautiiul tnterior of Greenland, with its giaclers and eascades, and mountain chains rising terrace-like in the distance. We might have con- thined our course to the west and southwest—for this falet branched of without a visible end—had not the steag given out, forcing us to cast auchor under @ glacier not less than 1,000 feet ngh. We now commenced a thorough exploration of the country, From a glacier 7,00v feet igh the mlet was fonnd to extend beyond vision. Mountains in the intericr, supposed to lle about 82 deg. west lungt- tude, were ascertained to be not less that 14,00 feet high, and draits and measurements were taken by Dr. Copeland, Lieutenant Payer and Mr, Hiliuger, GOING HOM The condition of our boiler and the advanced sea- son warned us to think of our re‘urn, for we were seventy niles irom the outer coast and running an imminent risk of remaining @ second winter in this latitude, where calms prevailed throughout the summer, Returning then woe repaired ance moro our boiler at Cape Ruys, and steamed for sixteen ac- 5 | grees (brough dense fogs and between the tce tlelds, it then becaine necessary to ferce our way through some solid pack ice, Under this effort our boiler gave way compieu We now had to resort to our sails, and, after @ severe storm amid the ice, we reached the open sea th cir 24, ua 72 deg. north West lougitude.

Firsi—The o1ission to advertise for bids or sealed yrercees. for crosswalks to be lai or relaid, though hey were embraced in the resolation of tae Com- mon Council, as well 23 the Nicolson pavement. con- tract, was, 16 is true, alegal irregularity under the Get OF 1853, Withia Lie decisions of Unis court relat. lug thereto (Laws 1858, p, 574, sec. 2; matter of Wood 61, Barb, 276; matter of Lewis 85, How. Pr. 162; do, Dabcock 23, How. Pr, 118; matter of Babler 10, How. Pr, 317; waiter of Beaws 17, How, Pr. 49, matter of William LB. Astor); but under the provi- sions of the twenty-seventh section of the act of 187, chapver 583, it 1s hot necessarily fatal to the aasoss. meuie That section declared that if, upon a hearin; such a3 thet which now Was jad herein, tt shall appear that by reason of any alieged irregularities the expense of any local Improvement has been une lawlutly incurved, the judge may order that such assessment upon the lands of the aggrieved party may be modiied by deducting therefrom such sun a3 1s Ln the same proportion to such assessment as the whole aneuni of such unlawful increase is to the whole amount of the expeuse of euch local im. provement,and tho application of these remedial provistons wuil obviate tie objections siated. 1 have Hot discovered ta tie proof kuvmilted any reason why it should not be done, and have derermiaed, therefore, that (he charge for crosswalks should be deducted from the umount, in ihe manner aud on the princip le declared in the statate. Second—The objection that tae space between the Tails of the Sixth Avenue Railroad Company was not paved relates to an omission of which the peil- tloners cannot complain. Tuo expemse of the im. provement would be increased Mf that work had been done, and that it was not done was a pecuniary advantage to them, lessening the burden which they had to bear. It is not @ suflicient answer to this View that the resolution of the Common Council di- rected the Sixth avenue to be paved. Such direc- tions must be presumed to have been resolved upon with reference to tat part of the avenue the obll- tion to pave and repair which rested alone upon e Corporation. If, however, such a presumption may not be entertained it would be equally improper to hola that @ proceeding which, having due rogard to the obtiganone ofthe Sixth Aveaue Rail- Toad Ca to the city, and thereiore designed to decrease the expense of a local improvement, was & legal inregplatty within the meaning and spirit of the act of 1853 and fatal to ovscssicent. The snm- maary proceedings established by taat act are for tho party aggrieved by the legal irregularity (section 1), and the petitioners were not aggrieved by the omis- sion stated, Ib had the effect, on the contrary, to lessen the expense of the improvement, as alreudy suggested, Itis my opinion, therefore, thatit was jot Only not a legal irrepularity within the meaning or spirit of the act of 1853, but a proper recognitton by tue Croton Aqueduct Board, acting on behalf of the city, of the undertaking by the Sixth Avenue Railroad Company to keep tiie space within wher rails in repair. Third—The objection that the pavement selected by the Common Couuch was putenied, and not, therefore, Open to competition, is equally unavat: able, ‘Tho decision in the matter of Willtum Astor, made by the General Term of this district, authorizing the receipt of proposals to pave with the Nicolson is substantially a declaration that tho Common Council may select itif they think proper. Four'th—Vho objecion to the charge tor collection | ia weil taken ifsuch charge exceed the two anda half per cent allowed bylaw. (Matter of Lewis, supra.) It 1s not fatal to tie assessment, however, Tue excess may be deductod as provided by the act of 1870, supra, and in the manner therein declared. ‘These are all the objections I am cailed upon to examine, The point mado in referonce to the principle on which ihe assess ment wes made is not justliicd by the evidence. The proofs do not show the ruio by whieh they were ‘ulded, but were it otherwise | am of the optuton hat the acts of the assessors while in the lawful dis- charge of their duty cannot be reviewed under tho Taw of 1868, alchough they were governed in thelr deliberations by an errongous priaciple. Such error would not, m my judgment, constitute a legal irregularity within the meantng of the law. It may also be said to be doubtiul whcther these acts could be reviewed at all unless objections were taken aud daly preacnted to the Bourd of Revision aud Corres- ton. It ts not necessary, however, for we to con- Sider this point further. i have tis disposed of ail | PERSONAL INTELLIGENCE General N. P.
