The Polynesian, March 14, 1857. 179 1 1 In jede of civilization. After leaving this place, CIssed the Chippeway river, the timber grad-1 jjy Troing scarcer as they proceeded, and the j'rjs larger. Passing Pornine de Tay, around hich there are beautiful rolling prairies, in-'persed with nutiiTOtis lovdy little emerald lakes, til aboHndinj in delicious nsh, over which ifce tall grass wsves to the breeze like the ocean to jdj trade winds, thy came to Lightning Lake, ground m''K'u tHere ts very superior farming land, with skirts of timber; then by Sioux Wood R-ver, fourteen miles further on. Here they found country truly bemtifnl, with lovely scenery.

worthy of the painter's effort and the pilgrimage of thetounst. hey crossed this river with ponton wafflRS, nmi ext diy camped at Graham's Point, on the western bank of the Red River of the North, at the supposed head of stetmbo.it navigation of that river. This is destined to be an important prtint. Three days' travel brought them to Wiid Rice River, which rans ifito Red River from the west, llere, hi the unbroken solitudes of the wilderness, they buried one of theircomrades, who tad died wit the brain fever a private in one ot their companies His name was Towns. The next stream they passed on their road northward was the Shyanna Oju this they crossed by building a temporary bri! je.

Thence eighteen miW to Maple River, where timber became more plenty and the iasid excellent. Thence they travelled 54 miles to Goose River, where they killed their first Buffalo. Their guide broke down his horse in chas-in? the same, and had to abandon him; but subsequently had the good fortune to get him. Along here they encountered more or less buffi lo every day. On the 27th of August they arrived at Minni Waken, or Devil's Lake, a large salt water lake, surrounded with poor land destitute of timber and scant of vegetation.

Along here they travelled four days without wood. Ninety miles brought them to St. Joseph, on the Pembina River, which is the new town built since the great freshets in Red River, and is situated on an eminence on the bank of the Pembina, thirty miles above its confluence with Red River, where, in the low bottom, to overflow, stands the old, half-breed town of Pembina. St. Joseph contains about two hundred poorly built houses, a Catholic chapel, and ffteen hundred French and Kree half-breeds.

They next proceeded to Pembina, which was the furtnest point reached by the expedition. This town is situated about a mile and a half south of the British and American boundary line." It is in order to obtain access to a country claimed to be as well adapted to settlement as this here described, that the cry is raised in the Provinces jcrainst the IIudsons Bay Company's monopoly, and a motion, we understand, will be made at the approaching session of the Provincial Parliament, to petition the Home Government for its abolition. The stream of wealth which would flow in upon theCanadas, if settlers as enterprising as those of Kansas and Minnesota should people it, would overflow upon us. It seems almost wfld to dream of this vast region, now nothing but a hunting-eround, 3 inhabited by an intelligent and prosperous population but in the history of American emigration the Biblical figure is reversed, and "one diy is as a thousand years." The magnificent scheme of railroads which now thread through the Provinces, the new Canadian cities which rival oar own in the Aladdin like rapidity with which tliev grow, the perpetual increase of trade, and the treneral spirit of enterprise which ferments along the shores of the great lakes, are presages of a Northern civilization which shall put to shame the Sjuth.

From the N. V. Herald. (Written before it was known that Capt. Harts-toinanl his brother officers woulJ not be allowed to return to their country on board a British man-of-war.) The Maral Kdrcl lite Rrwtile Affair.

The reader will find a large portion of our space occupied by the detail of the recepti of lite Resolute officers in England. It is doubtful whether any foreiiirs, hether of kingly or an other rank, have ever been so niagnificeiiuy entertained, or so complimented by the government of England, as ttiese countrymen of ours. From the Queen to the people of Portsmouth, every one has vied with his neiiihbur in trying to show how highly he could testify his gratitude and respect fr this country nothing his been omitted that the heartiest good feeling or the most cultivated good taste could suggest. We arc jl-ul to be enabled to add lint this city is not riiu to allow itself to be outstripped by its English contemporaries in the dispi iy of these Ii'iimrable qu ilities. With no more objection than might have lpeu p-pcctd fro ii the lieterogfiuMius character and somewhat exceptionable relation of tin; uer branch of the citv jiovenunent.

a sum of Ins been voted, which will en.ible Nt-w Yo-k to do her duty Our private citizens will doubtless not b-back ward in so good a work, and it will go hard, but tiie officers of lier Majesty's ship Retribution will li as well received here as our countrymen were jd Great Britain. Thus m-jch so fur as we are concerned. It does not Bprm in havp occurred to anv of those who have written or 6noken on the subject, that thse festivities, which on the outside appear only to be the outpourings of gratitude and kindly teeling, possess in reality a high political 6ignincance. ah Europe is ringing with the fact that England and America, after au interchange of hard words on the subject of the Russian war and Mr. Crampton'a case, are fraternizing once more, and are inter-chsnin(r pledges of unchangeable friendship.

The Paris papers, which appear just at this par ticular lunctare to have discovered that the united Slates are somethins of a country, and that in a few years they will be able to hold their own, not only against any nation of Europe, but against all Europe combined, will draw their own conclusions from this affair of the Resolute. We may rely upon it that these conclusions will be wholesome and sound. It may have been noticed as curious coincidences that the arrival of the Resolute was a signal for the appointment of a British Minister to this country, and tiiatthis measure was immediately followed by good understanding between England and France ca the Hessian question. Of course it would be saving too much to assert that Louis Napoleon abandoned his design of breaking off with tng land ia consequence of the arrival of the Resolute Bat we da not disguise our convictions that the cordial feelin" between the United States and Great which the Resolute waa a manifestation, may have had not a little to do with his Imperial Mai estv's decision. With all their quarrels, England and the United States are friends at heart.

Small minded people ia both nations make it their business to nurse PWy spites; but the larjre hearted people of both "unifies tre friends, allies, and brothers. And is do political alliance. Though the government of England is more like our own, as being freer than any other in Europe, yet the governing diss is by no means drawn toward the United s'-tes; the alliance is purely a popular one, rath-wia contravention of, than in obedience to, the tie sentiment of political leaders. When England 'lies herself with France, her people know very eil that it is but a temporary make-shift, a political cxDedient thev explain, they try to excuse a by saying that the French are at bottom an ira-proving people, and that their present ruler, the Em-Peror, means very well and is remarkably honest. B-t at the very time they are saying this, their hearts are full of distrust; they don't believe in the French alliance, or in any other, unless it be with United States.

Nor is the sentiment confined 10 England. The continental rations of Europe tre is disbelieving as the English of permanent Anglo-French alliance. But even Russia looks ith distrust upon an alienation between this county and England, and naturally expects them some diy to rush together, like the fragments of a split tre, and equeeze quarrel-makers fearfully in their All Europe, all the world knows that, if England and the United States were allied and cordial friends, they conld whip the world.

YV. COODALE, gec'y. Targrt Practice. Some very good shooting was done yesterday with the guns of the French corvette Eur dice. At the distance of about half a mile from the ship on the reef to seaward, a rmall sand-fort had been erected, with flagstaff and embrasures, and in the centre a white target, some two or three feet square.

After the first few shots to get the range, the fort was hit at every discharge, the flag-staff knocked over and the embrasures pied in a manner that would have been to say the least, excessively uncoiuf rtable to a garrison.

of San Francisco, for files of late papers. Dr. Ksar. A letter has been received by a friend of Dr. Kane in this city, who gives information direct from Ins family, and confirms the unfavorable statements recently made public.

One of his brothers, on receiving news of his departure from England, left to meet him in Cuba, although he was not then thonzht dangerously ill. But on the 5th such alarming intelligence arrived, that his mother left immediately for Havana. His disease is inflammatory rneumausm, con tracted on his first Arctic vovaee. and from which he was suffering severely when be sailed the second time.

Hartstein and his fellow officers after the gener ous restoration of the Arctic ship Resolute to the Brit ish Government When I recently heard the possibility of a war between the two countries spoken of, so unnatural did the idea appear to me, that I found myself repeating an old nursery rhyme, as familiar on our side of the Atlantic as on yurs, with the transposition of a few words that made it appear to me peculiarly applicable, and it may not be inappropriate on the present occasion to repeat them Let dogs delight to bark and bite, For God hath made them so; Let Turks and Russians growl and fight. For 'tis their nature too. But Anglo-Saxons should never let Their angry passions rise, Their great big hands were never mada To tear each other's eyes.

Oareotino ix New York. The garroting process ol street robbery, which has recently been adopted and brought into active use by the thieves who infest that city, promises to become general, unlesa impeded by the extraordinary vigilance of persons having occasion to travel after nightfall. The stratagems assumed by the perpetrators are various. We have been informed that one night last week a gentleman residing in Irving place, on returning home, was subjected to the new process. When at the junction of Fifth avenue and Broadway at Madison square, and opposite the new building in course of erection on the site of the late llippodrome.

He was so badly injured, besides being almost paralyzed by exposure to the cold, as to be unable to walk home.

In this state he crawled home on his hands and knees, where, upon examination, it was ascertained that he had received a wound on the back of his head, such as might have been made by a slung-shot. Other ca ses are reported. Whale. Another shoal of whales of the species known as humpbacks, went blowing by the harbor last Thursday in a very nonchalant manner, which was not apparent ly much disturbed by the chase of two or three boats which put out after them, but came back clean.
