The s.s. Alhambra arrived in the rood stead about noon yesterday, whoa she was tendered by the p.s. Dispatch, and sailed for Melbourne. The as. Murray sailed last night for Westport and Nelson. The Government steamer Luna, Captain Falrchild, sailed yesterday, from Wellington, for Westport, having on board the Premier, the Hon. William 1 Fox, who is on a visit to the gouth-Wesfc Gold Fields. A private letter received from a member of the Arctic expedition under Captain Hall, in the Polaris, gives account of the movements of the expedition since last heard from through the officers of tho Congress. The letter is dated Upernavik, sth September, and was carried thence to Copenhagen by a Danish vessel, whence it was. despatched to its destination via Hamburg steamer. After leaving Disco, where lie received his extra stores from the Congress, Captain Hall ! Bailed nearly north until ho arrived off the harbor of Proven. He there went ashore, ! and was well received by the Danish authorities, His principal object was to obtain dogs, but he succeeded in securing only eighteen, about half of which were at the time unfit for service, but may by care be made valuable. After leaving Proven, the Polaris sailed for Upernavik, where she arrived on the 30th of August. Here he tried to secure the services of some Esquimaux hunters and dog-drivers, but was unsuccessful. He, however, obtained some docs and fare, which will prove of great value while in winter quarters. Captain flail sailed from Upernavik on the sth of September, going north. Of course ho has not since been heard from, and will not probably, until winter, when he may send down from winter quarters to Disco for supplies. All on board are reported well, and confident of success.
