Arctic Dfscoue4q.-Th most interesting item of intelligence furnished by this arriy- al, relates to the unexpected return of Capt. Ross, from the Arctic Regions. This in- trepid .naFigatof, after an absence of three years andsa halt,. has returned to England in safety. wslea all reasonable hope had fled, even Of his existence. The expedi- ton of Captain back, sent forth for his possible rescue and relief, and which, in every sense of the phrase, might be term ed .5oflosst hope, has been superseded in its purpose by this gratifying intelligence and our concern and sympathies may now be directed to him who has been sent to stiaoof the returned.

 Captain Ross, with the whole of his par ty, except three. two of whom died On tffie passage out, and one at a later period, ar rived at Hull, on the morning of Friday, the 18th of October

 Tine hardy veteran (says the Hull Ad- vertlser,) was dressed in seal-sl1in trow- sers, with the hair outWards, over which he wore a faded naval uniform; and the wea- ther-beaten countenances of himself and hls companions, bore evident marks of the hardships they had undergone, although they appeared in excellent health.

 It was in 1929 that Captain Ross fitted out his expedition to determine the practi- cabillty et new passage, which had been confidently stated to exist, particularly by Prince Regents Inlet; but in consequence ot the loss of the foremast of his vessel, the Victory, he was obliged to re-ft at Miaefefd, iii Greenland. The accounts of hIs departure from thence on the 27tll of July, 1929, formed the last authentic intelligence received of the expedition. - By the subsequent details 1t will be per- ceiged that he was picked up by the Isabel ia of Hull; the very ship, by a singular CO., incidence, Tn which he made his first voyage to the Arctic Regions.

 By Captain Ross's account 1t appears. that the first season that of lS29-was the mildest that had ever been recorded. and the sea was more clear of ice, than had been experienced during any preceding voyages. On the l4th of August, Can't Ross reached the spot where the stores of the Fury were landed, without experiencinc any difiicult,', and there he found tie pro- visions, &c., but not the wreck, which had totally disappeared. Having supplied all hls wants at this depot, he advanced to inc son'h9ard round Cape Gary from whence the west coast led him, in a s. ". diree- tlon, to the latitude of 73 deg. N. Here he was for the first time seriously impeded by the ice, but after examining an inlet he proceeded to urge his way to the southwark as near the west shore as the shallowness of the wafer permitted, es.., ssii,s,, occasionally landed to take possession of the newly dis covered region for the British crown. with the usual ceremony. Owing to the ranidi- ty of the tides and currents. .be stuhborn quality of the ice, and the rocky character oi the coast, the voyage was extremely periious. Having. experienced several al most miraculous escapes from shipwfeek, tney ultimately succeeded in reachior the 7eth deg of latitude in direction pssa,lS due south of Fury Point, where the;r course was assarrested by an ifrapenetrahle har- rier of ponderous ice. In harbor wh;ch they found at the extreme point, they win tered.
