Sin JoHN FRANKLIN's CREw.-Of a letter which
has appeared in some of the Scotch newspapers,
and has been copied in some of the journals here,
alleging that a party from the English whaler
Flora, while in Lancaster sound, had gone ashore,
and under the guidance CT Esquimaux had found
the frozen bodies of four OF Sir John Frankhn's
crew, the London and provincial papers say that it
is only cruel hoax. The reasons given for this
decision that the person to whom the letter was
addressed cannot be found. and that such vessel
the Fora is known.

General Husson has replied in the columns of the
COnstituOnnd to the attack made by Nj BaZe and
others upon the petitioners for the revision of the
constitution. The correspondent of the Globe says
that in this letter it is for the fret time distinctly
intmated that if the revision be not granted the
Bonapartists will not, if public opinion be in their
favor, allow the right of the people to reelect Louis
Napoleon to be disputed with impunity by the Ma
tional Assembly.
1t appears by letters from Thionvc that the
hurricane which caused such destruction in the de
partments of the lndre, the Nievre, and the Cher,
has extended its ravages to the Mosee and the
Aube. Entire fields of wheat have been laid waste,
trees have been torn by the roots houses stripped
of their roofs, and men, women and children swept
away by the torrents. At Chaton-sur. Seine
eighty of the finest trees in the park of the palace
have been laid PROSTATE.
TRIAL OF Mons CABET:-The name Of CADET has
been prominent in the French journals for some
time past in conncxion with the Icarian commun-
ist colony in America. For certain alleged frauds
he was, two years ago, sentenced tot years i'm
prisonment by the correctional police. He appealed
from their decsion and is now on his trial in ap-
peal. According to the indictment, it seems that,
in the year lS47, Nj. CADET announced that he had
obtained concession of about million of
i'll Texas, and invited the adherents to his doc
trines to take the engagement to go to Icaria, and
put all they possessed in common.
number OF persons went to Texas, but instead of
meeting with the promised land they expected they
encountered only hardship and misery. In ls49,
letter, written by twenty two of his disappointed
Icarans was published in the journals, complain
ing that they had been fraudulenty enticed into
disastrous speculation. Shortly AFTER of them,
named Rousset, laid a complaint against Nj CADET,
and he was joined in the complaint by other lea
rians. They stated, amongst other things, that Ca
bet obtained from the associates 270 000f and that
before leaving he made them give up every thing
of value they had with them. Some other Icarians,
however, protested against the accusations made
against their chief.
The account books showed that CADET had had at
his disposal 24l ,97of, of which disbursements to
the amount of 100000 proved by receipts
there were receipts for the disbursement of the
remainder, but it was remarked that great num-
Der of the items were Of such nature that receipts
could not be obtained for them; thus, for example,
there was one item of "a ,O0Of. for conveyances by
railway. When examined by the president of the
