4 SIR JOHN FRANKLINs CREW.-Of a letter
which has appeared in some of the Scotch news
papers, and has been copied in some of the jour-

had gone ashore, and under the guidance OF
Esquimaux, had found the frozen bodies of four
of Sir John Franklin's crew, the London and
provincial papers say that it is only cruel hoax.
! The reasons given for this decision are that the
person to whom the letter was addressed can
not be found, and that no such vessel rs the
Flora is known.
THE GREAT ExHIBIrIoN-Th total admis-

very limited number compared with previous
returns; this may be accounted for by the fact
that very many of the " FIVE shilling visitors"
have left town for the country. The receipts
on Saturday were El,478 IS.
In addition to the abundant supply of water
offered to the visitors, Mr. Perkins, the inventor
of the hotwater oven, on Saturday presented
them with huge loaf, weighing 3Slbs., baked
by his patented process. A knife lies temptingly
beside it, and several experiments were made dur
ing the day upon its quality. For the benefit of
the visitors we may state that the loaf, if any of
it be left, will be found in the American depart
ment, north of the nave

From an impression that The $1,000 visitors
who flocked there, would have to grope their
way through darkness hardly visible, they had
all the gas-amps in the interior put in requisition.
