Not a v ih i ,y, in, and ret ct thin circumstance reached the ears of the public, or came to the knowledge of the Government until the middle of last month when a communication, mentioning the facts above stated, was addressed by the second master of H. M. steamer, Sampson, to the Hon. the Secretary of the Admiralty. The natural and immediate in ference drawn from these particulars, for the revela tion of which the community is indebted to that second master of the Sampson, is, of course, that the vessels thus descried a year since may have been no other than the missing ships of Sir Joust FRANKLIN. It is consequently with a sense of gratitud e, that, how ever tardily, we find ourselves enabled to p ick u p these scraps of intelligence relating, to all appearance, to the lost ships of the Arctic Expedition. The manner in which the particulars referred to have come to light, is of itself sufficiently curious. The Hon. AUGUSTUS STAFFORD, as Secretary to the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, hears the account of this strange iceberg and its freight from Mr. JAMES SHARE, the second master of the Samp son—Mr. SHARE hears it from Captain STOREY, a native of Tynemouth, who, in his turn, has de rived his information directly from the lips of Captain COWARD, the commander of the Renovation. A letter from Portsmouth, a walk at North Shields, and a conversation at Quebec, are stages leading to the disclosure of an incident which has thus taken the best part of twelve calendar months in coming under the scrutiny of the Admi nistration. Arrived it has at last, and already, what seemed, a few days since, a narrative so fabulous and incredible that the very existence of Captain STOREY was called in question (see the Hon. AUGUSTUS STAFFORD'S note, dated " March 26th, 1852"), has received sufficient amount of evidence in the way of corroboration. According to Captain STOREY'S statement, a state ment the accuracy of which has been ferreted out by Captain HENRY Hawkres, the Inspecting Commander of the Coast Guard at Sunderland, the account given by Captain COWARD was briefly as follows: " When," said the Captain of the Renovation, " near the edge of the bank, in lat. 45, long. 30 N., wind N.E., fresh breezes, and clear weather, as much as I could carry foretopmast, studding-nail, fell in with icebergs, one of which was very large, with field ice attached to it, in which there were two three-masted ships, having their masts struck, and yards down, and all made snug. To all appearance they had passed the winter together in the ice. At about five o'clock in the morning, when within one mile of them, the mate called me to see the berg and ships. By the time I got up, dressed, and on deck, my ship was abreast of them. Took spying-glass and carefully examined them, to see if there was any one on board, but could see no one. At the time I did not think of Sir JOHN FRANKLIN'S missing ships. Anxiety to get ahead out of the danger whilst the weather was clear from fogs, and being too far passed before I could make up my mind, caused me not to reduce sail, and examine them more accurately. lam since of opinion they might possibly be the missing ships." That was the ac count given to Captain STOREY, at Quebec, by Cap tain COWARD, of the brig Renovation. Corroborative evidence has since then been accumulated in conse quence of the industrious researches set on foot by the Admiralty. One Sisiesox, late acting as mate of the Renovation, has been traced on board the British Queen, at Limerick, whence he now states as follows :—" On th e 20th o f April, 1851, at six A.m., I saw two full-rigged ships (one about 500 tons, the other 350), on an ice berg), high and dry, the larger one on her beam ends, head to the westward, three ships' lower masts only standing, with bowsprit; masts painted white, appa rently not housed over. The smaller one was about 350 tons, head to the southward, with lower and top sail yards across, sails unbent, topmast an end, yards very square, and black, not housed over, nearly up right, both vessels apparently abandoned. The Re novation was then about 30 miles to the eastward of Cape Race, and the iceberg about five miles N.W." Another witness , Mr. GEORGE CLEUGLI, master of the barque Pearl, writing on the 30th of last month from Weymouth, declares to have received from Captain COWARD on meeting him at Quebec, a statement nearly in the words subjoined :—" While running with studding sails set about the edge of soundings they passed a large iceberg, on which were two vessels, the one a ship, sitting upright, the other with a list, he could not say whether a ship or a barque, her mizenmast being gone. Ile also stated to me that he mentioned it at the Custom-house upon arrival at Quebec, and expressed his regret to me at not being able to attempt to board them, being ill at the time, but there were other vessels in his track, but not in sight at the time." A variety of other witnesses have been brought forward, all tending to confirm the account originally given by Captain STOREY (name, at first, of doubtful omen) and apparently showing that the narrative about the mysterious . ice berg seen on the 20th of April, 1851, off the banks of Newfoundland, was not altogether a fiction, like the ale of the Esquimaux, presenting though it unquel ionably did at the outset a sort of family likeness to he anecdotes of the celebrated Baron AtuNcnauszN. What shall we do with our convicts ? The ques tion is an important one, requiring prompt and atten tive consideration. The most eligible description of penal discipline, for parties who have incurred the highest secondary punishment, bas been for some time discussed, but no decision has yet been arrived at. We still send the refuse of our population to our finest colony. In place of young men and women of unblemished characters and sound constitutions, we transmit a set of degraded and demoralized wretches, whom it is impossible to retain at home ; we seek to benefit ourselves at the expense of what, with fair play, would unquestionably become our most thriving settlement. But it is scarcely possible that the inha bitants will much longer submit to a system in every respect so ajectionable, and by which they are so deeply and ao seriously injured. They have already put forward many energetic protests, and a continu ance of the obnoxious practice may seriously endanger the existing connexion between us. A very slight and superficial examination of the subject will show that, even disregarding the interests of the colony, we should for our own sakes discon tinue sending convicted and irreclaimable thieves and reprobates of the worst description. The object of p e nal punishment is two-fold —it aims alike at the cri minal.e On the first point he is to be held up as an of crime eiet and the reformation of the y, to act as a beacon-light to deter preventionoe xt o ha n enl v _ p c s l t e . from to acts similar to these which have placed the deplorable temp i tati n o, o t oeraa . by salutary ' discipline and total removal from qualify the icate society, if a condition, and on the other, the evila propensities and to anrepentant sinner for doing his duty to him. opportunity should be again allowed ob jections to A us t ra li a as ap Now, on b o th grounds, there penal settl emen t. On the first, we find th a t so f ar f are insuperable the gration being r egar d e d as an al e • to compulsory emi be depr eca ted, it is, by the genera lit y o f t h ose the operation of o u r criminal clokdael,ylked upon as a to 00 0 r come under great desideratu m . Th ose who have endured the h misery and hardship s attendant upon a precarious livelihood by fraud a course of iniquity, gaining violence, do not consider it a very serious a misf or tun e to be sent to a land " flowing with milk and honey," where they will speedily obtain the pri v il ege of e arn ing their own livelihood. I n th e c i rc l es which they fr eq uent they repeatedly hear of returned transports who had realised handsome fortunes during their ab sence, and of others who still remained in the land of their adoption in the enjoyment of every comfort and luxury. They are told of beef and mutton at Id. or 2d. per pound, of tea at Is. 6d., and whiskey at Is. per gallon—of a delicious climate, where " The leaves never fadi., and the skies never weep—" and of the certain employment which every person, wan, woman, or child, is certain to obtain at re• unmerative wages, no matter how infamous might have been his antecedents, or incorrigible he may have shown himself long since. Every person having experience respecting our criminal tribunals must have been well aware of the anxiety of many of the prisoners to be transported, rather than to be sentenced to a nominally lighter punishment. In some instances applications have been made to the Bench—in others the parties have endeavoure d to believing that it would sub. We believe that jaelut assume ":ti:bleessfaa3eacr4ite we are warranted in asserting that offences have been perpetrated merely for the sake of ensuring banish ment, and that the amount of criminality has been so nicely graduated as to bring the period of exile to the shortest term—seven years. It is, however, neces sary to do enough to prevent the judge from giving effect to any possible recommendation of the jury or allowing the prisoner to remain in the country. If, then, in the olden time so great an anxiety pre vailed among a certain class to get abroad, what must it be now, that the discoveries of the auriferous soil at Ballarat and Mount Alexander, at Lake Bathurst, Geelong, and the Mulwarre Ponds, place boundless wealth within the reach of any corner ? There will, of course, be additional inducements to get out to the land of promise. Enthusiastic youths will plunder their masters or embezzle property committed to their charge on the speculation of becoming rivals of " ,lonte Christo," of discover ing tons of gold at the diggings. Such a feeling should be immediately suppressed ere it has become productive of the most dangerous conse quences, and this can only be achieved by forthwith changing the destination of our convicts. The offer just made by Sir JAMES MATHE SON, Baronet, M.P., is therefore peculiarly valuable at the present moment. The Hon. Baronet, with a laudable anxiety to aid in the solution of the important problem, has tendered the Island of North Rona for the acceptance of the Government, in order that it might be made a con vict station. He requires no payment for the land, which, from the description thereof which we have extracted from a weekly contemporary into another part of this day's impression, appears to be peculiarly fitted for the purpose. There would, of course, be no temptation to any to get to a solitary island of small dimensions, such as that referred to, while the reformatory discipline may be carried on under the most auspicious cir cumstances. The acceptance of the patriotic offer will free our Australian fellow-subjects from the nfliction to which they have heretofore been sub- ected, and induce a better class of emigrants to cast their future lot in Australia. Sir JAMES MATHESON has entitled himself to the best thanks of the community for the proposition, which will leave Ministers without excuse if they permit matters to continue much longer in their present objectionable condition. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday The Aloniteur contains the following " commune cated" note :—" The Gazette of Prussia has pretended that the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic has written an autograph letter to King LEOPOLD, to express to him the desire that the institutions of Belgium shall be placed in harmony with those of France, and that the abuses of the press, and of the PaTliamentary regime, shall be repressed. This journal adds, that the KING has replied in such a way as to render a European war probable. These assertions rest on no foundation ; the correspondence mentioned by the Gazette of Prussia is imaginary." The Prince DE CANINO has arrived in Paris from Civita Vecchia. By decree of the PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Re public, M. REGNAULT, member of the Institute, professor of the College de France, has been appointed director of them anufactory of Sevres, in the room of M. EBELMEN, deceased. By another decree, M. BLANCHE, Maitre des Requt'qes of the first class, has been appointed Secretary-General of the Ministry of State. Letters from Turin, of the 10th, state the treaty of commerce between Piedmont and France was ap proved of by the Chamber of Deputies by a majority of 114 to 23. Count CAVOUR, Minister of Finance, spoke ably, demonstrating that the treaty in question was founded on the soundest doctrines of political economy. As the treaty bad been especially attacked on the ground that it was detrimental to the interests of Savoy, he took particular pains to show that all such objections were unfounded. He then adverted to machinations of the retrograde party in Savoy, who had eagerly taken up the treaty before them as an instrument of slander against the Government, and worked up the people of that country so as to lead them to believe that the present Government was sys tematically hostile to Savoy, and sought its destruc tion, and that the inhabitants would have to pull up their vines by the roots, or emigrate. The Hon. Minister, nev e rth e l ess , fully admitted the existence of real grievances in Savoy, and expressed his determi nation to do his best to relieve them, but regretted that his efforts had been hitherto in a great measure paralysed by party hostility. The whole or nis speech was conceived in a firm but conciliatory spirit, and was listened to with profound attention by the Chamber. ThePairrcE PRESIDENT on Saturday gave a private audience to M. BAUDOING, deputy of the Legislative bcdv, M. MAxims GAUSSEN,_member of the inter national jury, and MM. BIETRY, Du CROQUET, HERMANN, and LECLERC, on the subject of the pro jected Palace for the Exhibition. LOUIS NAPOLEON received them with his usual courtesy, and assured them of his solicitude for the progress and prosperity of national industry. The estates of Neuilly and Monceaux, formerly belonging to the Orleans family, and confiscated to the state by the decree of January 22, were taken possession of on Monday by the administration of the domain of the state. The states mentioned are among those ordered to be sold by the decree of March 27. ! Both the Danis and the Univers comment on the decree changing the course of studies in the Univer sity. The Debats is an advocate of the philosophical education which the changes have a tendency to bring within restraints that are regarded as necessary for the general purposes and interests of society. Whilst the censure of the Debats is ostensibly directed to details, it is pretty evident that there is great dis satisfaction as regards the principle. In proportion as the facilities to young men to become philosophers in the modern sense, that is to say, reasoners and reformers, are diminished, the influence of the Univer sitarians will cease to absorb some of the powers of the state ; in proportion as the number of students re warded with academical honours is reduced, there wil be a narrower field for an ambition which can only be partially gratified, and the non-gratification of which must necessarily augment the number of edu cated or rather half-educated persons who, finding no means of existence in the present constitution of society, are constantly at work for a change in the in stitutions, and consequently the partisans of revolu tion ; but by this change in the nature of the studies, with a view to academic distinctions, there will be less of modern political philosophy, aud consequently less chance of political commotion. The partisans of the University education which has been thus modi fied, do not admit that it had the tendency which the changes that have been ordered seem to imply, and therefore they do not approve of the modification. The Univers having been a constant opponent of the University system as it has hitherto existed, cannot be other than satisfied at the blow that it is supposed to have received, as regards the logi cal portion of the studies ; but it required something more ;lit demanded the substitution of the influence of the clergy for that of the University philosophers, and, as this has not been granted, it doubts whether the change that has been prescribed will be successful. The Univers says : "It is evident that the intention has been to guard against the danger of philosophical instruction, such as it was established:,by the regime of July. But will the Government attain its object? As long as philosophy shall not teach that human reason is insufficient in divine things, as long as it shall not distinguish seriously and as a matter of dogma the natural order, which is its own ground, from the supernatural order, which is that of theology, logic such as it is now constituted, will bo as fruitful in unbelievers and sceptics as eclectic rational ism. It is most clearly evident that the instruction of religion ought to have a legitimate place in the eyes of the children to whom the State has instruction given in t two things— the catechism and the art of the announcement that 10th of May has been positively fixed on for the the 1 nstitutionnel confirms distribution of eagles in the Champ gran thinking.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAYi; CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY To-day's market was very scsntily supplied with home-growneWheats; nevertheless, as the attendance of buyers was limited, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at barely Monday's prices, at which a total clearance was not effected. Scarcely a single transaction took place for forward delivery. Only 240 quarters of foreign Wheat have come in this week. Selected sam ples were held at full currencies, but the demand was much depressed. Low and middling kinds moved off slowly, at previous quotations. In floating cargoes no transactions were reported. Although the show of both English and foreign Barley was limited, malsters and others purchased with extreme caution. No change in Malt, the supply of which was trifling. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour sold slowly, yet the quotations were well supported. Wheat. Flour. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Barley. Qrs. Qrs.

As it was considered that the invitation to the good cheer was general, so, as soon as the feast was ready and the guests prep are d , a arm)g par ty of excavator s, musterin g be tween thirty and fort rushed like the " band of fierce bar barians," in Home's pion I fills, b ut from the railway works, and pounced upon the roasted cat:le, carrying riot and devast ation all before them. The dkjAnted roasted ox was seized , the booths upset, and a universal melee commenced. As there was but one police man at the stati on (who upon his appearanc e was g reeted with the mo s t choice morsels of fat, some alighting on his face and others on his re treating parts) , the excavators had it all their own way, and made a regular clearance of the viands and other good cheer, and then depar ted, without any Norval to follow. This di sgrace f u l affair, the m otives of which ma y evidently- be ascribed to other parties than the excavators, will of course undergo the strictest investigation by the proper authorities.

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—There has been an irregn gularity in this day's yarn market which renders the conveying of a correct idea of it somewhat difficult. Some say that business is flatter than it was last week, with prices still inclining against producers; whilst others state that more has been done at the lowest previous rates ; and, here and there, we hear of a hardening in value in certain arti cles. The non• arrival of the Boston steamer has undoubtedly been a source of uncertainty in re.' Bard to the raw material, which has tended still to re strain the buyers from entering into operations. Yet we have had an increased inquiry both for shipping and home consumption; it is pretty evident, too, from the offers that are made, that it would require but little jurther hiving way to induce buyers to come freely into the market. Speaking generally, the sales of the day are on the lowest practicable terms of last week. Some spinners, who are still well stir plied with orders, will not, accept those terms; and tt is the varying positions of sellers in this respect , more than their conflicting anticipations of the ft" ture,:that occasion the existing irregularity in prices. In the department of goods, we find a pre - Tailing langour throughout. Comparatively small es the transactions are, however, there is scarcely any sen sible change in values against the manufactures; for there is not sufficient accumulation of stock to occasion a pressure to sell. We have a telegraphic notice of the commercial news by the overland mail, from which it appears that there is little alteration In the Bombay market. At Calcutta there is an in crease in the sales of yarns and piece-goods, with en improvement in the Money-market; but the rate of e%' change is stated to have fallen as low as Is. I Id. and Is. Mid. for the rupee. More business was going on in yarns and goods in China. This telegraphic account, however, has not led to any signs of business on the part of merchants since it was posted up at noon. ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—We have bad another dul l market to-day in flannels, and a very limited amount of business has been transacted, at prices little different from those of last week. There is not much change in wool, either in price or demand. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—The demand for silk manufactured goods for the spring mark e t h as con tinued to a moderate extent during the past week and up i° the present, at prices which are, in many instances tour! satisfactory to the manufacturers; the fine weather having evidently given an improved stimulus to pur chasers. We are sorry to hav e t o note a cont i nuan ce of the turnout of Messrs. Brocklehurst's inside hand-loom weavers, against the outside weavers of that firm (who are a large body), i n cons ( quonce of the latter t rea ting the local board of trade with indifferenc e , and refusing t° conform to its regulati ons . I n the thrown silk market fair amount of business is yet doing for home trade, bu t not to such an extent as some weeks since, as the Wi l l season is now far advanced; but an improved. done e exists for th e Continent. Throwsters continue Wl' and our mills on full time, The raw silk market is firm' though with little business doing. t HALIFAX, SATURDAY . — W e h ave h a d ano ther fh_ market to-d a y, an d scarce l y any sort o f goo d s h as beet inquired tor.

Wool d oes no t c h ange h an d s ver y freein and as the market is becoming rather bare of somo the finer sorts, the staplers are asking, and in some cases obtaining, for such, a slight advance in price. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY. —The same irlaCtiVlV has prevailed in our market to-day as last week. The woollen market at present is dull, and there is not much inquiry for any particular kind of goods.
