The following special despatch to the Hiznarp has been received from our corre- spondent at St. Johns, Newfoundland: — Sr. Jouns, N. F., Oct. 16, 1873. The United States steamer Tigress left Ny- antelek, Cumberland Gulf, on the 16th of Sep- ember. On the 20th of September she experienced p heavy gale from the southward. This con- inued till the 23d ult. She made Cape Deso- Jation, Greenland, on the 24th of September. Bho could not get into port and consequently ptood to sea in another gale, at midnight, and pn the 25th of September, anchored in Sane- pt Fijord. During the 26th of September sho lay at enchor repairing her engine. PILOT IN CHARGE. On the 27th ult. she took on board an Esquimau pilot for Irigtutarsuk Fijord, at Which place she anchored at eleven o'clock, Here the Tigress found the British bark Agostina, from Philadelphia; the Danish bark Weeds, from Copenhagen, and the steamer Fox, of Copenhagen, bound for Kryolith, from the mines, ‘The Tigress remained at this point till the &th'of October. During this period she had oxtensive repairs made to her boilers and engine and shipped 190 tons of coal, which had been engaged for her use by Captain Braine, of the United States steamer Juniata. HEADING NORTH. A strong gale prevailed from the east, When the Tigress went outside she headed north in order to cruise towards Cape Walsing- ham to look out for the north whaling fleet and news of Buddington. HEAVY GALES AND DANGER, The gale shifted during Sunday night, Oc- tober 5, to the northeast and lasted thus till tho 8th inst, The vessel labored heavily and shipped large quantities of water; so much so that the fires were nearly extinguished. On Monday night, October 6, the men stood by to cut away the foremast, but the ship righted without the necessity of losing her mast, The sea broke clear over the ship gearly to the height of the smoke stack. The gale abated during the hours of Wednesday morning, the 8th inst. In the afternoon of the same day a fresh gale sprung up from the north, causing a cross sea, with the ship laboring heavily. COUNCIL AND RESOLVE. After consultation with his brother officers Captain Greer decided to abandon the voyage corth, and headed homeward for this port The reasons for heading south were os fol- lows: —It was too late to meet whalers; it was the season of heavy gales; the ice would soon be closing for the winter; the crow was reduced in force in consequence of exposure and over- work, the number of men being too small for tho amount of work which it was absolutely ‘necessary to perform, THE 104. In ninety-three days out from New York tho ship has been at sea sixty-four days and sailed about 8,000 miles, The lowest temperature registered is eight degrees below the freezing point. SANITARY CONDITION. The officers and men are worn out, but everybody is in excellent health, FOR REPATR, There are large cracks in the steam boilers, and since leaving Irigtutarsuk the leakage almost extinguished the fires. It will ro- quire ten days to repair this damage, HOMEWARD, Tho Tigress will be home in November, some time between the 10th and 15th of the month. FOXFUL NEWS AND A JOLLY RECEPTION, At a quarter past throes P.M. a pilot boarded the Tigress, bringing us the news that the Polaris’ crew was safe, The report was roceived during the hour of dinner, On receipt of the intelligence the Captain and all hands rose, giving throo times threo and a tigress, for joy.

A Notorious Bank-Breaker and a Com- panien of McDonald, the Bank of England Ferger, Now in a Pennsyl- vania Prison. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 16, 1878. On the 9th of last March the police authorities of this city arrested two men upon the suspicion that they were engaged in a movement to rob the Corn Exchange Bank. They gave their names as Harrison Brown and Henry Williams, Sufficient evidence, in the way of masks, fuses, knives and burglars’ instruments, were found upon them to assure the Oourt that the suspicion was well grounded, and they were accordingly sent to the Eastern Penitentiary for the term of four years. By means of the eminent counsel employed in their defence, and from the fact that about $20,000 Were put up to secure their release, it was con- cluded, however, that they were both noted thieves, Atter a while it was ascertained that Harrison P, Brown was really the celebrated burglar, James McCoy, whe had robbed the Cadiz National Bank of Ohio of $350,000. Upon securing this knewedge it was evident, also, that his associate, Henry Williams, like himself, had given an as- sumed name, Since the 9th of March the detectives of this city have been corresponding with the pice ofall the leading towns of the United Sta 8, and, being even yet unable to ascer- tain Williams’ identity, they opened a correspond. ence with the authorities in the Dominion of Canada, and at eight o’clock to-night Captain Reins received a letter from that quarter, stating that the person giving his name as Henry Williams is the notorious Dick Moore, who is a Canadian by birth, and who, along with Jack Farrell, Spider Esmond and Tom Daily, robbed a large bank in juebec and also a steamboat on the St. Lawrence iver, and, in addition to this, that he was a pal of icDonald, who robbed the Bank of England, and is now confined in prison for life. ¢ prison authorities of Ohio have already lodged a retainer for the body of James McCoy, alias H. P. Brown, when his present Ves term expires, and it ia robable that the bank authorities of Quebec will lo the same in regard to Dick Moore, alias Henry Willams. The correspondence leading to this im- portant identification has been carefully conducted yy Detective Wood and Captain Heins, THE OHIO BLEOTION.
