Fortunes of a Country Girl. AN HISTORICAL ROMANCE. , One day, I will not say ° how many years ago, tor I intend to be very mysterious for a time, with' Ty readers—a young woman step ped from a country wagon which bad just arrived at the yard gate of the famous Chel ser inn, the Goat and Compasses, a name ftirmed by corrupting • the pious , original, "God encompasseth us." . The young wo man seemed about the age of eighteen, and was decently dressed, •though in the plablest I rustic fashion of the times. She was well formed and well-looking, both form and:look giving indications of the' rudy health conse 'quart upon exposure to sun and air -in the country. After stepping 'from the wagon, which the driver immediately led into the court yard, the girl stopped for a motnent in apparent uncertainty whither to go, when the mistress of the \ inn, who had, come to the door, obseryed herlhesitatiOn, and asked her to eater and take rest. The young woman readily obeyed the invitation, and Soon, by the kindness of the landlady, found herself by the fireside of a'nieely minded parlor, where withal to refresh herself after a long and te dious journey. " And so, my poor girl," said the landlady, after having, in return for her . kindness, the whole particulars of the young woman's situ ation and . history, "so thou bast come all this way to seek service; ant, bast thou no friend but John Hodge, the wagoner?—True, he is like to give thee but small help towards getting- a place." "Is service, then, difficult to be had ?" ask- ed the young woman, sadly. ." Ab, Miry, good situations, at least, are hard to end. But you have a good heart, r child," said the landlady, and as she contin ued, she looked around with an air of iwide and dignity ; " thou seest what I hare come to myself; I left the country a young thing like thyself, with as little to look to. But tisn't every one for a• ertain, that must 'look for such a fortune, and in any case it must be . wrought col:. I showed myself a good ser mat,- before my good old Jacob, 'leaven ieat his soul, made me mistress of the Goat and CompasseL. So mind thee, girl." • The landlady's speech might have gone on a great way;;. for the dame' loved well the sound of her own tongue, but for the inter ruption occasioned by the entrance of'a gen tleman, when the landlady rose anil . welcOm ed him heartily. • •" Ah, dame," said the new comer, whovas a stout, respectably attired person of middle age, "how sells the good ale! Scarcely a drop left in the cellar, I hope!" "Enough left to give Sour worship a draught after your long walk," and she rase to fail the promise implied by her Words.. "I walked not," was the gentleman's reply; but took- a pairef oars, dame, down the riv er. thni;knowest I always corne to Chelsea myself, te see if thou lacked anything." " Ah, Sir;" replied the landlady," «and it is by thatway of doing business that you have made yourself, as all the city says, the richest man in all the Brewer's -Corporation, `if net in all \London itself" "Well, dame, the better for me if it be so,", said the brewer, with a smile ; "but let us have the mug, and this quiet, pretty friend . of thine shall please us, by tasting with us." . The landlady was-not long in procuring a .stoop ufate, knowing that her visitor never set. an example hurtful to his own interests hy:codnietiatielng the consinnption of foreign = "Right, hostess;' said the brewer, when he iuo ,tasteiit.; .6 *.ell made and Well kept, and- that giving both, thee_and me our liottvlifetty one,* said be; one , of the-measur,,or glasses which' bad been -vlseed iifide.-the-LAtoop, , °Atilt thou drink 'this to thyeareetheart's health." .. - . • . . . . ..-..,- ' - :- ' V .

Return of the Kane Expedition. The Advance- /eft in the lee—New Lands Found—A. Bridge of Ice from ,Greenland to the Continent—An open Sea found. The return of Pr.. Kate and party from their visit to the Arctic Seas is a gratifying termination of an adventurous, undertaking of more than ordinary peril. . The expedition , started in May, 1853, and had not been heard of since July same year. - The expedition succeeded in crossing Mel ville -Bay, and reaching the headland of Smith's Sound, as early as . the Bth of Augusts 4853. . Finding the ice to the North com pletely impenetrable, they were forced to at-. tempt a temporary pailkae -along the coast, where the rapid tides, .running at the rate of four mileS an hour, with a rise and fall of si)- teen feet, had worn a temporary -opening.-- Previous to taking this,step, which involved „Treat risk--‘+ieh -waN, in f:ict, equal to a L sacrifice of, the brig . in which Dr. Kane was —a Francis metallic lire-boa with a cashe of provisions, was concealed as a means of re treat. . The penetration of the pack ice was atten ded by many obstacles. The vessel grounded with every tide, and !but . for her ! extreme strength she would not 'tare been able to sustain the shocks. She ivas several times on her beam ends, and once on fire- from the upsetting of the stovesi . . • Some idea of this pehtliar navigation' may be formed by a. knowiedge of the-fact of her losing her jitdoom, bes t bower anchor - and bulwarks, hes ides about 600 fathoms of wap ping line. ! They were cheered, however, by a small daily progress; and by the 10th of September, 1853, they had. succeeded in gaining the northern face of Greenland, at a point never reached before, llere the young ice froze - around. the ves sel, and compelled them to seek a winter asy lum, in which they ciperienced.a degree• of cold much below any previous ; registration. Iflrixkey . froze iii November, and for four maths the year the mereury was solid dai ly: The mean annual- temperature. 'was five degrees belOw zero.- - This is the greatest de !free of cold ever experienced by . man, and tbeir winter quarters were nearer the Pole than ever before ocenpled. The scurvy was easily e.ontrollecl, but the most fearful, as - well as the' -most novel, fea ture of the winter; was a tetanus, or lockjaw, Which defied all *treatment. It earriol away lifts 7 seven of the Eiquitnauxsledge. ,. dob . and was altogAtheral4„htfuls<iourger.j' • The operations of search' were commenced as early as March--the first parties, under the personal charge of Dr. Kane; crossing the ice at a teinperature offifty-scren degrees be low zero. The loss of their dogs obliged them, as an alternatiTe,,to . adopt .this early travel. Many of ther. - arty were frost-bitten, and underwent an amputation of their toes.-- it was by mearq of tl ese'efforts that the EZ ; pedition succeeded in bringing back its.re- itly .as Furl of made famous in suits. The parties were in the field as late'as . the 'loth_ of July, only ceasing from labor. when the winter's darlitie:ss rendered it. im possible to travel. GEOGRAPIIJCAL RESULTS OF THE 'EXPERT. . Greenland has been followed by Dr. Kane, anal surveyed, with a coast line towards - the Atlantic, fronting due North, until a stu pernicious glacier checked. their piogress.• This mass of ice rose in lofty grandeur to' a height of five hundred feet, abutting into the sea. It undoubtedly is the only obstacle to die t insularity of Greenland—or, in other .wotds, the only bariier between Greenland arid the Atlantic. It is, however, an effectu al hanier to all further explorations. This glacier, in spite of the difficulties of falling bergs, was followed out to sea, the party raft ing themselves across open, water spaces upon masses of ice. In this way they succeeded in travelling eigh 'y miles -along: its base, and traced it into a new Northern land. (This glacier is, we b l plieve,, the largest'discaverefl by any navigator.) . 1 . NEW LAND. • This new land, thus cemented to Green land, by protruding` ice, is named Washing ton. The large bay which interi-enes betweeri it and Greenland, bears, we understand, the name of l'str. George Peabody, one of the , pro jectors of the 'Expedition. This 'icy connec tion of the Old and New World is a feature of singulail and romantic interest. The range of the fledge journeys 'may be Understood) from the fact that the entire cir cuit of Smith's Sound has been effected,_ and its Shores completely charted. • But the real discovery of the expedition is the Open Polar Sea. The channel leading to these waterswas entirely free from ye, and this feature was , rendered more . remarkable by the existence of a zone or solid belt of ice, extending more than one.hundred an..twenty five miles to the southward. (This see "veri fies the views of Dr. Kane, is expressed to the Geographical Society before hie departure.)— The. lashing of the surf against the . frozen beacbof iceivas, we are assured impressive beyond description. Several gentlemen with whom we have conversed, Beak . of it with wonder and admiration. -An area of three thousand ware Miles was seen, entirely free from ice. -This channel lias been , named after Hen.

The extreme severity! of the previous season made evident that, the brig could ti ot' be lib- erated before the' - winter set in: Shewas fist imprisoned in the centre of a large-Meld of ice. The - provisions although Itbandant, were mot calculated to resist aeurvy t end ths fuel, owing to the emergidcies of the winter nits deficient in_qaantity. Under these try- lug circumstatices the Dr... with a 'party of volunteers, made an attempt to' reach the mouth of Lancaster Sound, in hopes of meet ing the English expeditions, and thus giving relief -to his associates, passed in an opeti boat over the track of Milan's travel, - riding out a .heavy gale. They found an uninter rupted barrier of ice, extending in one, great horse-shoe from Jones' to Murchison's Sot , i v ' s , and were forced, after various , Ntpes' to re- nra to the brig During the winter that envied, they adopt ed the habits oftheEsquitnaux, living up , ,a rate walrus meal, and surrounding dieriselves. wi Lb walls of moss ' In spite of these precautions, the scurvy advanced with steady :Progress; but by the aid of a single team 'of dogs„isr.
