We have news this week from the North Pole !
After an absence of four years, when even the most sanguine had abandoned all hope of seeing him again, the daring navigator Captain Ross has returned to England, with all his crew safe, except three, who died. Scarcely any thine. that can be depended upon has transpired as yet respecting his adventures. It is said that he lost both his ship and steamer the first year; that he wintered two seasons in the wreck of the Fury, which vessel was left by Captain PARRY in 1825 in Prince Regent's inlet. He was picked up in Lancaster Sound, by
a whaler, the Isabella of Hull, which has just arrived at one of the Orkney Islands.
It is intended to send the news of Captain Ross's arrival with- out delay to Captain BACK. The latter proposed wintering at one of the Hudson Bay Company's stations, where there will be little difficulty in conveying intelligence to him.
