TO CORRESPONDENTS

GREAT GEORGE WARD.—The communication has COMO to
hand, and will receive early attention.
Our correspondent, who has favoured us with some very
stringent remarks on the recent disaster in the Chinese
. waters, had better, we think, suspend his judgment for the
present.

Under no circumstances can we insert communications not
accompanied by the author's real name and address, not
necessarily for publication, but as a guarantee of good faith.
Short letters are encouraged on matters of public interest.
They should be legibly written on one side of the paper only,
and contain (in confidence) the writer's name and address.

lowed,

All this, or very much' of it, had been taken
for granted already. England had become recon-
ciled to the idea of it. We had lost our hope,
our utmost hope. After having hoped against
hope, it had all been felt to be in vain ; and the
nation's tears were beginning to be dried up, under
its reconciliation to the lamentable conclusion, that
its brave but unfortunate countrymen, whom
it had sent forth to attempt again to force the icy
barriers of a North-west passage, had, like so
many before them, perished in the process.
But now we are doubly sure that the eventful
though sorrowful story is ended. Upon the spot
itself it had long been ended. The noble and
dauntless spirit of FRANKLIN passed away from
its earthly tenement, now more than twelve years

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1859

THE DAY'S NEWS.

We give the latest accounts that have been re-
ceived respecting the negotiations for a settlement
of the Italian dispute ; but they are still indefi-
nite. It is to this very circumstance, no doubt,
that one may attribute the variety of rumours
now afloat on the subject. The safest plan, there-
fore, will be to suspend one's opinion until some-
thing certain is known as to the result of the
conferences still proceeding at Biarritz.

One of the results of the negotiations now going
on will of course be a definitive treaty of peace
between France and Austria, in which it is said
the preliminary treaty of Villafranca will be
strictly maintained. But there is reason to be-
lieve it will be a treaty between France and
Austria only—Sardinia being no party to it.
What this means, is not yet explained.
More troops for China, it will be seen, have
been despatched by the overland route, including
drafts of Royal Marines, and Rifle Brigade, and
Infantry regiments.
The Great Eastern is having another trouble,
there has been a mutiny on board ; and. thirty of

ago ; and ere many months were over, all
his brave followers had shared his unhappy but
inevitable fate.

It only remains for us therefore, as a nation,
to close up the melancholy history, by doing due
honour to the memory of those who have thus
nobly fallen in their country's service. This may
be done at home, and must be done, if the nation

is to testify, according to its wont, its just appre-
ciation of those who have hereby suffered in
her interest. But, as well as this, it will be
