first place. The subscription here for the wounded
MAKES little progress. Sir r. Gardiner Governor OF
Gibraltar, has forwarded check on his bankers In
London for 2500 reals, as . friend and mpanion in

thatthis cairn indicated the fact that some Of
Sir John Franklins party have visited the
spot in question; and we can have no hesita-
ton in saying that beneath the pile SO cane
fully raised is deposited distinct information
of his past progress and future Intention
We trust the hypothesis Of the Liverpool
editor will turn out a true one. At all events
here is a peg to hang yet another hope. For
lora thought it be, we trust that vessel spe-
daily directed thither will be forthwith des-
patched. The Times says.
The point lies entirely out of the beat Of
any of those now employed upon the search,
and will most likely not be approached by
any Of them, for although Sir John Franklin
on an exploring expedition, might detach .
boat party out Of his direct course, those gone
to seek him, would naturally confne fheil

ordered to pursue, and thus necessarily be ig

Barnum,s Position Defined.

In his recent Temperance speech before the
members of the Legislature, and otherss, at
Hartford, Mr.. Banum said that he cared not
what mans political or religious opinions
might be, so that he was temperance man.
Let him be that said he, 'and can cheer
fully give him my hand, and meet him on
this platform as brother 'For my own
part he continued, 4 am locofoco, regu-
lar out-and-outer, and so strange are my po-
htical preferences, that it is quite possible |
should vote for the Devil, in preference to a
whig, if it could be proved that odd Homey'
was Democrat-but when the question
comes which to elect to office, drunken
Democrat or a sober whig, l should prefer
the whig, and should adopt this course on the
plain ground that drunken official, although
a Democrat, is worse than the Devilp
This political position appeared to be re-
ceived with satisfaction by both parties.

The Lost Nayigators,

The report that a cairn Of stones, raised by
Sir John Franklin's expedition, had been dis
covered in Jones' Sound, in l848, the Prince
of Wales, Whaler, says the Liverpool Times,
of the 18th, has received within these few
days very distinct confirmation, rendering
the statement by far the most important
presumptive or otherwise-which has reach
ed us:
william Miller, a seaman on board the
Prince of Wales, states on oath, that he was
on board that vessel (whaler) in l848, when
early in September, during very thick wealth
er, they entered, as they believed, Lancaster
Sound, and steered west, advancing slowly
The fog continued heavy for some days,
when it suddenly lifted, and high land was
seen on the larboard side, over the mast head.
The captain being at first doubtful if it were
the loom of icebergs or Of land, sent boat
off to ascertain the fact, and of this party
William Miller formed one.
He states on landing, the marks of shoe
prints were distinctly visible in the mud,
above high water mark; close by was small
cooking place blackened by fire, and a little
further on, a well built cairn about four or
five feet high, Of which the party pulled away
a few stones, but being recalled by asignal
from the ship, which was being driven in
shore by the current were compelled to return
on board Immediately.
1t was believed by the master Of the Prince
of Wales, the veteran Lee, Of hull, that he
had advanced in westerly course up this
sound a distance Of nearly $50 miles, under
the impression that he was in Lancaster
Sound; but this belief was removed on ma
king his way outward, and the doubt confirm
ed by passing to the southwark the wide opei-
ing, and veil known headland Of Lancaster
Sound.
1T became evident that be had been in the
hitherto unexplored and more northern sound
named after Alderman Jones, passage which
lit is believed, leads directly into the sea
north Of the Party Island. William Millel
further declares that at this point, the pas.
sage widened and that an open sea with is,
lands, lay before them. t

An angels face comes fitting by,

How Mint Juleps Originated.

The question of the origin of mint juleps
was recently agitated in Virginia, and it was
ascertained that the reason was conceived by
an editor, who kissed pretty girl after she
had eaten some mint, and who was so much
intoxicated with pleasure, that he devoted
several months in attempting to procure
substitute, or counterfeit, which would -ap-
proach the original as nearly as possible. h
