BilLI. THI WEEKLY AND WEEKLY.
From tke Mmerve , of Montreal.
Twice bated—Narrative of the French
who was picked op from the Wreck ot •*'
Arctic.
My name is Ja-sonet Francois; 1
cale, a village situated at three leag “ vse u ovorv
from St A; I Fenerany
year in fishing at 1 J « rrc - W f llotl llb out noon on
t u°L eS u a ’ l0 T re u U , r “ a to bo on deck, i heard the
the 27th, as I chan and wb o wero in the
men in charge « L uff, 1. ff, there
fore part old. lowu upou us » p think, to the
* 8 »*J“P that not moro that half a miu
meelapsea betore we received the sir ck. Our
hiu “truck the Arctic in the starboard bow, near
the whee’; our forecastle was swept away by the
blow. When we saw this accident, a general con
fusion ensued, and a man ascending from the hold
cried out that the vessel was tilling with water,
which created a general panic amongst the passen
gers and crew. To lower a boat and precipitate
ourselves into it, to the number of seven or eight,
was the work ot a minute, and we proceeded to
wards the American vessel, which continued its
route towards land.
Our intention was to save ourselves on board
the American vessel, for our idea was that our
own would go down immediately. We rowed tor
some time before we could reach the bow of the
vessel, but a wave sent us to a distance again. W o
then. pproached the wheel, and, owing to some
accident which 1 cannot explain,the boat wascaught
in it, and upset. I alone was able to catch the rope,
and get on the deck o» the American vessel, where
a general coufosion and panic reigned. I soon
learned that the vessel was in danger, and 1 cast
my eyes around mo to hud some moans of safoty
There were near me about thirty bottles; 1 got a
rope and attached them to my person, but one ot
them being broken, 1 soon saw that it would not
be possible to throw mysail into the sea with them;
that is why, liuding « uniting a box near mo, 1
fastened myself on it with strong cords and cast
mvseif into the sea. ,
By good luck there happened to be close to the
vessel a floating piece of the wreck, which I seized'
hold of, and abandoned myself to the mercy of the
waves. In company with me on this rat. was a
young American, of from 2d to 22 years of age—
this young man died on the morning of the 2Stb,
from the effects of cold and hunger. The cold
had taken such a hold of him that it became im
possible for him to utter u single word. 1 took
uim in my arms and supported his head oil my
shoulder; and when lie breathed his last sigh, ho
gave me such a violent shock that he was near
upsetting me into the sea. 1 attached him to the
raft with cordß, aud I kept him lor about twenty
four hours, at the expiration of which, finding that
he was ready dead, and apprehending the visits of
some large sharks, 1 threw him into the sea.
Alter Being at the mercy of the waves for a
couple of days and nights—that is to say, fifty-two
hours—on the 29th, towards ten in the morning, i
perceived to the west, a sail, which seemed to be
approaching mo. Then, with small plank which
had served me as an oar, I was enabled to make
some signals, which did not seeui to be noticeu by
the vessel. 1 continued to swim for another hour,
and I then became convinced that the vessel was
coming directly towards me. This gave sie a
little courage, for my strength had begun to aban
don me.
1 made a fresh signal, and I saw that they per
ceived me, for the vessel came traight towards
me. 1 was hoisted on board, and 1 gave them to
understand as well as i could, by signs and a few
words ot English, that there were to the leeward a
great number of persons awaiting help, and the
captain accor ingly changed bus course and'
steered in that direction. We picked up eleven
person , who had got < n floating pieces of wreck,'
as, also, Capt-in _ac?. We then made sail, and.
proceeded to tji” oec. It was in this way that I
escaped the waves, ..nicJi tnreatened to eugnlph
me every iustu - t. I was in the sea fifty-two
be ars, without jod or drink of any sort, with the
excepti .lifui small sailor’s biscuit, which my
companion in misfortune gave me before he ex
pired.

""is iiELioiON BfcA.CTm.Ll—Always'. In the child,
the maiden, with the wile, mother, religion shines
a holy benignant beauty of its own, which nothing
of earth can mar. Never yet was the female char
acter perfect without the steady faith of piety.
Beauly, intellect, wealth! they are like pit fails,
dark in the brightest day, unless the divine light,
unless reiigiou throw her soft beams around them,
to purify and exalt, making twice glorious that
which seemed all loveliness Before.
Religion is very beautiful—in health or sickness,
in wealth or poverty. We never enter the sick
chamber of the good, but soft music seems to float
on the air, and the burden of their song is, “Lo!
peace is here.”
Could we look into thousands of families to-day,
when discontent sits fighting sullenly with life, we
should hud the chief cau-o of unhappiness, want
of religion in woman.
And in felons’ cells—in places of crime, misery,
destitution, ignorance—we should behold in all its
mo-t horribie deformity, the fruit of irreligion in
woman.
Oh, religion. 1 benignant majesty, high on thy
throne then sate t, glorious and exulted. Not
above the clouds, for earth-clouds come never be
tween thee and the truly pious soul—not beneath
the clouds, lor above thee in heaven, opening
through a broad vista of exceeding beauty.
Its gutoa in the splendor of jasper and precious
stones, white with a dewy light that neither flash
es nor blazes, but steadily proceodothj from tho
throne of God. Its towers bathed in refulgent
glory ten times the brightness of ten thousand
suns, yet soft, undazzling to tho eye.
And lueri; religion points. Art thou weary f it
whispers, “rest—up there—forever.” Art thou
sorrowing? “eternal joy.” Art thou weighed down
with unmerited ignominy ? “kings and priests in
that holy orae.” Art thou poor I “the very street
bofore thy me.’ sion shall bo gold.” Art thou
friendless ? “the angels shall be thy companions,
and God thy Friend and Father.”
ia religion beautiful 1 Wo answer, all is dceola*
lion and deformity where roligion is not.
A New Projectile.—The inventivo faculty of
the age promises to familiarise us with another
projectile of terrible power, which will cast into
the shade all the shells now in ur-o. We hear that
there is before the ordinance committee a shell
charged with liquid which, after its release by the
concussion of the ball, will ins'antuneoußly be
come a sheet of lire, burmng to a cinder anything
it may touch, and suffocating by its smoke any
one brought within its radius. Wc aro not aware
of tho nature of the inflammable i. gradients, but
we cun bear testimony to the efficiency of the
liquid, for we have seen a very email quantity of
it burn to ashes with incredible rapiaity, thick
carpets, wood, coals, &c. A column of infantry,
a row of tents, a ship, .storehouses and barracks, a
forest, anything which acknowledges tho terrible
influence of lire, could be consumed in a few
uunutoe by the visitation of a shell charged with
c .is noxious fluid. It will, we dare say, require
the artillery, for itW
so sub. t- i ,U at the escape of anv slight
quantity would carry with it direful cor-sequences,
like the tor-f. aephjfMa n is ea i cu ’uted lobe
formidable »”ko to tnends and foes if it be not
watched with vigilance. But we daio say some
plan will bs dev . or preventing the escape of
any particle. . Wt lull bo anxious to know what

Allies bee given them much satisfaction, which
they openly express. One man came from his
village to say that two Russian n
wealth were preparing to leave, and demanded
few soldiers to be sent to arrestthem.The
diers and/baveafready observed. Probably from
ignorance of their family names, and fearful that
hi trifling circumstance might interrupt their
cordiality, the inhabitants have been indiscrimi
nately christened by the soldiers by the name of
Joey. Consequently, if a alow native Tartar lies
in danger of being run over by a hasty dragoon
he is requested to “look oat for your eye, Joey;”
should another hesitate to take British coin in pay
ment for an unripe melon, he meets the roproaeh
of “you are an ass, Joey.” Joey Tartar has, there
fore, become as historical a character as Johnny
Frenchman or John Turk. As long as daylight

Yesterday was a cloudy, warm, uncomfortable

new cases of fever, which, at present, seem to bo
of a mild character.
The Board of Health report four deaths yester

only a lew severe cases, of soveral days standing,
remaining under treatment, tho fato of which will
bo soon determined. We may then hope to soc a
greatly reduced bill of mortality.
We l'oar, however, if tho present state of tho
weather continues only a few days, that the dis
ease will incroase. Absentees should therefore
remain away for the present.

Health of Savannah.
The Board of Health report three deaths (one
of yellow fever.) for the 24 hours ending Thurs
day, 9 P. M.
The Georgian of Saturday morning has the fol
lowing :
Rain at Last—Health of the Citt. —Thursday
night we had amost gracious shower—not enough
, indeed to wet the ground—it would take a great
deal to do that—but enough to settle the dust in
our dry streets, and enough, we trust to break the
spell which has kept elf the anxiously expected
killing frost. Yesterday was cloudy and occasion
ally drizzly—with however very little rain. Ap
pearances indicate that wo shall have an abundance
before it clears up.
It will be seen by the official reports that, during
the last two days, there has been but one death in
the city from yellow fever. The disease has for
some time ceased to prevail as an epidemic, and
even the number of sporadic cases occurring du
ring the present week has been very small. Need
then our citizens abroad hesitate, after they shall
learn that it has dared of cold, to hasten their re
turn ? We think not, yet are extremely reluctant
to take the responsibility of advising. While the
present rainy “spoil” continues, they doubtless do
well to remain away. But when it is succeeded,
as it will be in a few days, by a clear sky and a
cold, pure atmosphere, we think that men, whose
presence is required here by their business, will
find in tho fear of sickness a very indifferent ex
cuse for their absence.

The Advertiser of the 24th says: It is a source
of much gratification that we hear of no cases of
Sever occurring since Sunday merning. All the
sick are doing well. The weather has changed
since Saturday, and when we went to press last
evening there was every indication of rain.
Health of Mckile. —The Tribune of the 22d
says:—“ The list of interments for the past week
shows an increase to the public health. If it goes
on this way, we shall presently have to abolish the
office of Sexton, For the past three days there
have been only three deaths, in a population of at
least 20,000, which amounts to the ratio in a week
of about one out of three thousand I
The best advice we can give every citizen now
abroad is to come homo as quickly a > possible.
Health of New Orleans. —The New Orleans
Bulletin of the 23d inst., says:
It affords us much pleasuro to be able to state,
from the best authority attainable, that the health
of the city has continued to iinprovo steadily
throughout the week that has passed. In the
Charity Hospital the deaths from Yellow Fever
for the week ending on Saturday last, at 5 o’clock,
reached the number of sixty-three, showing a de
crease of seven, as compared witn the mortality
of the previous seven days.
In one point of view this decrease may teem ap
parently trifling—barely worthy mention—while
in another it assumes considerable importance. It
should be borne in mind, in order to arrive at a
correct understanding of the case, that at least five
hundred persons per day, many of them unaccli
mated, for the last throe weeks, have arrived in
the city. Under such circumstances, an abatement
in the fatality at the Hospital—the head-quarters
of disease—no matter how slight, speaks volumes
of substantial encouragement. Had there been an
increase doable the decrease, there would not have
been the smallest cause for alarm. Cool and re
flecting men would have looked upon it as a na
tural consequence, flowing from an unfortunate
influx of an unacclimatod population. But, as the
contrary has been the result, tho same men view
the decrease as good evidence that the Fever is
about retiring into winter quarters.
Wo have made inquiries of several of our most
j ' ainent physicians. They inform us that the
disease in private practice has abated remarkably.
The weather has boen very favorable the past
four o', five days—cool, bright and bracing—and,
no doubt, produced its usual effect. At present
writing > is warm and cloudy, leading us to fear
the advent of “ a spell ” of warm and raiuy times.
We sincerely trust our fears may not be realized.
All wo need, to insure complete safety, is a few
days more of balmy, healthy weather.
Noma Carolina Improvements.— The Old North

nal improvements, but is pressing them forward

endorsement of bonds:

Charleston Railroad and Postmaster General.
We aro glad to announce, says the Charleston
Courier of Friday, that in accordance with theve.y
general desire of our citizens, an extra meeting of
the Chamber of Commerce was convened yester- ®
day, to take action in reference to the impending j
serious disarrangements, from the conflict betweon r
the General Postoffico Department and the South '
Carolina Railroad Campany. j
A delegation has been appointed by the Cham- 1
ber to to Washington, and represent to 1
the Post Office head the magnitude of the interests j
which will bo thus gravely perilled, and the serious ]
grievances which must onsuo, not only to the city, ]
but to the South and Southwest, should some sa- 1
tisfactory arrangement of this difference not be at
once accomplished. Wo have no wish to take
any side, or express uny opinion a 3 to who may be
right or wrong in this issue. Our concern is with
higher and wider interests ; die whole übh
venitnce, the entire commercial and social machinery,
is hazarded by this collision. They far override
any mere question of financial advantage, in which
the Railroad Company or the General Post Office
Department may bo parties. The People, whoso
business and whose accommodation in the transmis
sion of the Mail aro vitally concerned, have a right
to aak that their interests in this matter should bo
considered paramount, and wo, therefore, confi
dently hopo and believe that the respectful and
judicious manner in which the doiogation which
has been appointed, will present the subject to
the Postmaster General, will receivo from that
such co operation as will at once remove
the approheusions under which we now sutler.
lho following resolution was adopted by the
Chamber of Commerce:
IS solved, That a Committeo of tho Chamber be
appointed, which shall proceed to Washington
and represent to tho Postmaster General the evils
to whicli Uns community, in common with tho
people of tho South and Southwest, will be sub
jected by any interruption in the regular Irani,,
portatiou of tho mails-evils in comparison with
which the amount in dispute between'the Depart
ment and the South Carolina Railroad Company
sinks into utter insignificance. 1 J
iho Resolution was unanimously adopted, and
in pursuance thereof, Col. A.O. Andrews and Col.
Jas. 11. Taylor wore appointed as the Committee.
An abstract of tho report of the English Emigra
tion Commissioners shows that the average emi
gration irom (treat Britain lor tho last seven yours
has been 808,083 annually, or 2,121,231 ; while for
tlio previous thirty two ycurs it amounted to oiily
1,072, 292. lhere has boon a decrease in emigra
tion to this country during the past two years, but
there has been an increase in that to the British
North American provinces, owing, perhaps, to the
fact that tho price of passage to tho latt r is at all
timossomewhat loss than to tho former. The em
igrants to the provinces usually at first make their
way to the United States, especially vhoso of the
laboring class, which cf course is by fur the most
numerous, but many of them retraeo their steps
and eventually become permanent settlers in Can
ada, the upper province generally having tbo pre
ference over the .'ow'er on account of tho largo ad
mixture of nativo Canadian French in the latter,
i and for other reason of a more substantial nature.
Tho report also gives tho ascertained amount of
money remitted from North America to Groat Bri
tain by emigrants. From 1848 to 1853 these re
mittances reached tho enormous sum of £5,790,-
000, or nearly twenty-uino million dollars ; and
this is only tho amount sent through tho principal
banking and mercantile houses, leaving entirely
out of the account the equally t cuormous sum trans
mitted by private channels.
The frigate Sabino, which was commenced in
1524, under tho administra'ion of John Gainey
Adams, when okl Commodore Isaac Chauncey was
the Commandant of tho Brooklyn Navy Yard, but
has been laid up in ordinary since that time, with
out having been finished, though from time to time
several constructors tried tho : r hands at her, is
aguiu in tho hands of builders, with a prospect of
he>-being completed, aud it is expected to launch
her before the Ist es January. She is a double
bank irigate, carrying 50 gnus, two of them pivot
guns ; frame of live oak, and the rest of her tim
bers whito oak and yellow pine. Her original
drawing was furnished from the Bureau of Con
struction at Washington, but since then her out
line has been completely altered. In July, 1854,
when her present alterations were commenced,
her bow was cut away and 20 feet added to the
length of the vessel. She is now 200 feot on deck,
and has 43 feet breadth of beam.
The new Mexican war steamer lturbide, consort
of the Santa Anna, which has been built by
Messrs. Westervert & Sons, in Now York, made
hor trial trip on Saturday, under very favorable
auspices, and to the entire satisfaction of Colonel
Butterfield—the contractor—who will now have
supplied eighteen vessels of war to the neighbor
ing government. Tho lturbide will mount ton
twenty-four pounders on deck, a long brass gnn
on her forecastle, and a swivel gun in her boat
(launch) on deck. She is a propeller of over five
hundred tons, with oscillating engines and ma
chinery of tho most perfect description, made by
Messrs. Barren, of tho Barren Iron Works, New
York. This steamer will be manned by a crew of
ninety men, aud, a»ter hor arrival at Vera Cruz,
will be commanded by Cuptain Carvellus of the
Mexican navy.
"Wo understand from very excellent authority,
says the New York Herald, that the government
of tho United States at Washington, and tho cabi
net of His Imperial Highness Santa Anna, have
already laid the basis of a new commercial treaty,
which is at the present moment in process of ne
gotiation. This treaty will bo entirely of a com
mercial nature, and it is considered that when
complete it will bo worthy of being classed in tho
same official catalogue as that known now as tho
“ Gadsden treaty.” In fact, wo are of opinion
that tho now troaty communication of the two
governments woro only commenced after tho re
turn of General Gadsden to Mexico.

The Jacksonville News, of the 21st inst., says
“The fearful extent to which the yellow fever is
raging in St. Marys and Darien, Ga., has rendered
it imperative upon our city authorities to place
quarantine restrictions of a stringent character
upon these places. Persons therefrom are not al
lowed to laud at this place or enter its corporate
limits by the land route until they have been ab
sent from those towns ton days.”
Tho N. Y. Commercial Advertiser says:—Tho
gold medal cast by ordor of a committco of tho
“Republican Societies,” in this city, for presenta
tion to Commander Ingraham, in memory of his
gallant conduct in the Koszta affair, has been de
posited in the hands of Mr. John A. Stephens, at
the Bank of Commerce, for safe keeping, until the
presentation can be formally made.
Tho Buffalo Democracy learns that Monsieur
Maillefert, who is well known by his operations in
removing the obstructions to navigation at Hell
Gate, has engaged to remove the rock obstructions
in tho Long Sault, Couteau, Cedars, and other
rapids of the St. Lawrence between Ogdensburg
and Montreal. Such an improvement of the navi
gation will be of vast importance and value.
From the London 'limes, Oct. G.
(shipping Trade of England. j
Tho shipping returns of the Board of Trade for (
tho month ending tho sth of September, show ,
again a decline in the amount of tonnage employed
since, although there has been a moderate increase j
in tho arrivals, there ha been a rather large di
minution in the clearances. The concurrent effect
of the cessation of the demand for foreign grain,
of the diminished shipments to Australia, and of
the unsatisfactory condition of tho trade with tho
Unitod States, offers an immediate explanation of
this position of affairs; and, although the aggre
gate returns of the first eight months of 1854 still
exhibit an augmented shipping business as com
parod with tho corresponding period of 1853, so
much of this has been due to the grain trade, that
it is to bo apprehended tho remainder of tho yeur
will alter the gonoral results. The return on tho
present occasion does not include any arrivals from
Russia in the shape of capturos. Subjoined are
the general totals of entries and clearances. Fil

Emigration to America.—A letter from Havre
of the 29th nit., states that tho General ScrewCom
pan>’s steamer Indiana was there, waiting for Gor
man emigrants for America. She had been fitted
up to carry 400 poor emigrants, and about luO cab
in passengers, Tho emigrants wore to be taken
out for about 40 dollars a head. This will bo tho
second trip of the Indiana. Tho first trip she was
chf rtered by an English firm. In this voyago the
speculation is that of the General Screw Company.
Hitherto, tho Fronch, Dutch, and Gorman traffic
with tho Unitod Statos has boon carried on by
Bremen and American merchants and shipowners;
but English enterprise and capital aro now to be
engaged in it, and there is every prospect of a
formidable competition for the traffic between the
British Channel and New York, by America,
England, and Germany. The General Screw Com
, pany contemplate fitting up other of their ships
besides tho Indiana for the American trade, and
a Liverpool company, it is stated, is also going to
run screw steamers from Havre, Antwerp, and
Bremen, to New York, without calling at any
English port, at reducod freights. Tho goods traf
fic betweon France and the U nited States still con
-1 tinues to increase, and the passenger traffic be
> tween Bromen and Antwerp and America is enor
\ mouß. Filey thousand persons emigrate from Ger
many and Holland to tho United States annually.
There aro now employed in the French, Gorman,
‘ and Dutch trade with. America the paddle-wheel
3 American steamers Washington, Germania, St.
t Louis, and Union ; two paddle-wheel German
steamers, the Hansa and another, and tho British
5 screw steamer Indiana, it is probable (says the
- letter, that the number of tboso steamers will be
doubled before long, anti that tho present charge
for freight of 40 dollars a ton will be reducod to
ono halt that sum. The Americans were the first
, to establish a direct steam communication between
. tho British Channel and the United States, ai.d it
„ will be up hill work for tho English to oppose
thorn. The General Screw Company aro acting in
- conjunction with American agency.
Oysters. —A correspondent of the National
Intelligencer, writing from Baltimore, says of the
oysters the present season :
“It is a somewhat singular fact, and one impor
tant to be generally known, that the oysters of our
wuUrs thus far this season, including tho Chesa
peake bay and its tributaries, have proved mark
edly deleterious to health, in several instances,
to my own knowedge, persons have been taken
violently ill, after eating them, (raw especially,)
with cramp colic, cholera morbus, <fce., and in
somo cases death onsued. Crabs, too, have pro
duced similar results. An old and experienced
fisherman —one amongst the most faithful caterers
in fish, crabs, oysters, and other articles of the
kind, in our city—has just informed mo that, in
his judgment, oysters gaud crabs, this season, are
impure, unhealthy, possessed of some poisonous
substance, and unsafe to be oaten. Ho says both
oysters aud crabs never move (the formerly espe
cially) from their original beds; and in the ab
sence of rain or tresh water requisite to their
healthful growth, they absorb a poisonous sub
stance, which in fact, a.mr they have been taken
from the water a short time, kills them, and thoy
turn or assume an unnatural color. As an evi
dence of his want of faith in tho healt.hfclness of
these delacies, founded upon practical observation,
my fish-merchant friend, whilst be is disposed to
sell the best oysters and crabs that can be produ
ced to meet the demands of a pressing market,
has not faith sufficiently strong to eat tnem him
self. Ho says rain and frost uro absolutely requi
site, after a protract ?d drought, to make either
oysters or crabs a safe diet. With fish it is differ
ent. They migrate, and always select springs and
tho purest water to be found, and when fresh are
healthful.
Silver in Fulton. —"W e learn that a company of
enterprising gentlemeu, who some tirno since
leased a lot of land on the Chattahoochee river,
known as Mason’-, with the view of mining for
silver, have met with greatsuccess. Three shafts
have been sunk, one of which is fifty-seven feet
deep, aud rich silver ore has been found in large
quantities. Our informant was kind enough to
offer to exhibit to us some specimens he brought
with him from the spot but not having any know
ledge of such mattors, wo do not express an opin
ion on the subject.
We are informed by the same gentleman that
rich specimens have also been found on Mr. Leon
ard’s land only four miles from town.— Atlanta

Discovery in Metals.— Mr. Deville, whoso dis
coveries in relation to aluminum havo recently
created quite a stir in the scientific world, has for
a long time been engaged in tho preparation of a
work upon the pure metals, produced aud melted
by processes of his own. In tho course of his re
searches, he has discovered that the two metals,
nickel aud cobalt, possoss, contrary to the general
boliof, the useful properties of malleability and
ductility, in a very remarkable degree, and also an
ext raordinary tenacity, far superior to that of iron,
which has hitherto been supposed to possess this
quality more perfectly than any of tho metals.
From M. Vorthoim’s experiments on wires of
equal diameter, made of iron, nickel and cobalt, it
appeared that tho weights which determined the
rupture of tho sovoral wires, woro respectively as
the numbers of 60 for iron, 90 for nickel, and 115
for cobalt. This would establish for cobalt a tena
city almost that of iron. Thoy may be, moreover,
worked at the forge with the same facility as iron.
They uio perhaps loss subject to oxydation than
Iron, and may bo used for tho same purposes.
Escaped. —David Wright, confined in Muscogee
Jad, on a charge of killing Deputy Marshal Rob

tho cars leaving Columbus at 9 o’clock, A. M., on
Thursday, nothing had boen heard of tho f ugitives.
It is said that tho jail door was found unlocked,
and it is, therefore supposed that somo one of tho

ished him with skeleton keys or other implements,
wherewith to make his exodus from duress.—

Tha Fateoffelr iohu Franklin.
Tha reported discovery of tiio remains of Frank
lin’s unfortunate Arctic expedition, seems to be
confirmed by the despatches from Mr. Eae to Sir
George Simpson, of the Hudson’s Bay Company.
Mr. ltae went out in J line, 1853, on a laml expedi
lion to find soino evidences ol tiie fate oi iranklin. 1
He returned in August to York factory, bring
ing certain information that the expedition lost
their ships by being crushed in tho ice, while
making their way to Fish river, one of the tribu ,
taiies oi Black Eiver, near tho outlet of which the
parties appoar to have perished. The place desig
nated is m about latituae 63, and longitude 95 west
from Grocnwich. It is nearly seven degrees of lati
tude south of Wellington channel, where the last
traces of Franklin were found four years ago, in
the graves of several of his men, buried in 1845-46.
It was through this Channel that Sir John was
supposed to have forced his way north into tho
Polar Sea. Nearly all tho various expeditions
fitted o it, have, under this belief, explored regions
too fur north. The land expedition which went
out in 1853 was too far west, having followed the
Mackenzie river lrom the same Luke which tho
Black river starts from running east.
Capt Austin, who investigated the region of
Lancaster Sound in 1850, concluded that the mis
sing expedition had not been to the southward
and westward of Wellington Channel. Yet at this
very time Franklin’s party were suffering the
pangs of starvation some seven degrees south of
.Lancaster Sound, having probably been ci rried
down Prince Eegent’s Inlet past Lancaster Sound
by the ice. The ovidence of the destruction of Sir
John uud his party are Baid to be certain, as the
natives had in their possession various articles
belonging to the expedition, including silver
Bpoons and forks, with tho commander’s initials
upon them. Death by starvation is the fate that
has been generally predicted of the party, though
it was not e.ioved that they had perished so early.
The expedition left Sheerness, England, on the
25th of May, 1845, with a lull compliment of 138
men. The first expedition which went in search of
it was in 1848. It was in three divisions; one west
ward by Bhering’s Strait, under Capt. Kollett and
Liout. Moore, which surveyed from Point Barrow
to the Mackenzie river. Another, the eastern di
vision, under Sir John Ross, reached Leopold bar
bor, mouth of Prince Eegent’s Inlet, when it win
tered. The uucoeding spring it was drifted out
by ice through Lancaster Sound, into Baffin’s Bay.
The third division was a boat expedition, under
Lieut. John Eiehardson, which followed the course
ot the rivers and lakes through the Hudson Bay
territories, and penetrated to the mouth of the
Mackenzie river. Mr. John Eae, who has made
tho recont discovery of the remains of the expedi
tion, was engaged lor three successive years, in
exploring the lands and islands north of Copper
mine river, farther west.
Captains Collins and McClure were despatched
in 1850 to BH ring’s Straits. McClure was frozen
in near Baring’s island, and compelled to abandon
his ship. Kellott, who had become attached to
another expedition, reached Melville Island, hav
ing penetrated, by Davis’s Strap There a tra
velling party from Kellet’sship discovered McClure
just as he was about to abandon his vessel. It was
this expedition which demonstrated' that the long
sought for northwest passage was no delusion.
In the same year, (1850,) an expedition sailed of
four vessels, two steamers and two sailing vessels,
under Captain Austin, who investigated the region
round and beyond Lancaster Sound. Two other
vessels left at the same time, under Capt. Penny,
on tho same expedition. Simultaneously with
hose throo other expeditions, fitted out by private
enterprise, ontered Lancaster Sound. One was
tho American exp dition, sent out by Mr. Grinneli;
the second a vessel under Sir John Koss; the third
one, equipped by Lady Franklin, under Captain
Forsyth. The next expedition (1852) was of five
vessels, fitted out under the impression that
’ Franklin bad passed through Yfellington Channel,
j The Priuce Albert was also sent to explore Princo
Eegeut’s Inlot, as half way down that inlet a large
t depot of provisions had been stored for Franklin,
j and it was supposed he might have gone down for
provisions. The Albert was driued into Barrows’
Strait, but land expeditions were made south and
west without accomplishing any discovery. Four
other expeditious sailed in 1858, but dissensions
among the officers caused one to return to England.
Tho second, the Kane expedition is still pursuing
its investigations; tho third returned to England
with despatches from McClure; and the fo'urtb,
under Mr. Rue, which was despatched to make in
vestigations on the North American coast, in the
neighborhood of the Isthmus of Boothea, has
there made the interesting discovery of the unfor
tunato fate of the long missing expedition. The
cost of t*'e various searching expeditions has been
over four millions of dollars. —Philadelphia Loiger.
An important opinion on tho question of \ ;ral
lel railroads has recently been delivered by Chief
Justice Shaw, of the Supremo Judicial Court of
Massachusetts. The Boston and Lowell Railroad
sued the Boston aud Maine, the Salem and Lowell,
and tho Lawrence Railroads for combining certain
sections of their respective roa 4 s, so as to make a
parallel road from Boston to Lowell, aud for ad
vertising to carry, aud actually carrying, passen
gers and freight between the two cities without
change of cars. Chief Justice Shaw has given tho
decision of tho Court, that the course of tho Bos
ton aud Maine and associated roads, in thus es
tablishing a parallel lino between Boston and Low
oil, is an infrigmont of the Charter of the Lowell
Railroad ; that tho defendants have no right thus
to establish and run a continuous railroad between
the two cities, under an agreement to share profits,
and the plaintiffs are entitled to a deeroe in their
favor,
Tho Mohilo aud Ohio Railroad is progressing
satisfactorily. The cars are now running one hun
dred miles, and by the first of January will reach
Enterprise, one hundred and twenty-ono miles
from Mobile. It is expected that eighty thousand
bales of cotton will be brought down tho road
this winter, besides large quantities of pitch, tur
pentine, bricks, lumber, <fcc.
A writer in the London Economist sums up a
very able article on Napoleon 111. as follows :
Tho same man who landed at Boulogno in 1840
with a single steamer and a few friends on a des
perate and abortive expedition, revisits it in 1554
to review a vast army aud receive tho homage of
countless spectators The same man, who six
years ago lived in obscurity in London, scarcely
able to pay hia tailor’s, aud quite unable to pay
herso dealer’s bill—whom many looked upon as
stupid, and whom none lookc J upon as wise—of
whom few augured well, and wdom few would
trust much—wo have just seen receiving tho visits
and compliments of the consort of our Queen, en
tertaining three royal guests at his table—one of
them the son-in-law of tne very monarch whom ho
had sncoooded—and admitted beyond ail denial
into the social circle of royal personages.
Nor is this change in his singular fortunes tho
only one, nor perhaps the greatest. Wo can ima
gine him smiling with even a more grim satisfac
tion as ho contrasts tho language o’t the English
press regarding him in 1852 and now sittingwith
the Times or Examiner of December, 1851 or of
August, 1854, before him—aud marvelling at the
metamorphosis—tho unmeasured abuse which was
showorod upon him at tho former date, and tho
decorous respect and cordial praise with which he
is spoken of now. The “seedy swell,” aud “the
sanguinary and audacious ruffian” is now the polite
and sagacious Emperor and takes wine tete-a-tete
with Prince Albert.
