SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.-Late Montreal papers
contain some additional particulars concerning
sir John Franklin and his party. Accounts have
already been given Of the first meeting with the
Esquimaux Indians in the spring Of 1850.
At later date, during the same season, but
previous to the disruptionof the ice, the bodies
of about thirty white persons were discovered
on the continent, and FIVE more on an island
near it, about a long days journey-say thirty
FIVE or forty miles-to the northwest of a large
stream, which can be no other than Black s
Great Fish river, as its description, and that of
the low shore in the neighborhood of point
Ogle and Montreal island, agree exactly with
that of sir George Blacks. Some of the bodies
had been buried some we're in tents ,others under
boat that had been turned over to form a
shelter, and several lay scattered in different di-
reetions. Of those found on the island, one
was supposed to have been an officer, as lie had
telescope strapped over his shoulder, and his
double barrel gun lay underneath him. From
the mutilated state Of many of the corpses, and
the contents of the kettles, it is evident that
the party had been driven to the last resource.
canniballsm means Of prolonging life.
There appears to have been an abundant
stock of ammunition, as the powder was emp
tied IN q heap On the ground BY the natives out
of the kegs or cases containing it, and a guam
tlty Of ball and shot was found below hipb
water mark, having been left on the ice at the
beach. There must have been a number Of
watches, telescopes, eompasses, guns, &c, all
Of which appear to have been broken up, as dr..
Roe saw pieces Of these different articles with
the Esquimaux, together with some silver
spoons and folks, as many Of which as could be
obtained were purchased, and a list Of the most
important relics found, with the drawings Of
others, were to be forwarded to London.

The New York Herald publishes long and
interesting letter from Mr.. Adams, surgeon of
the brig Advance, commanded by doctor Kane,
and despatched by Mr.. Grinnell to search in
the Arctic ocean for heill-fated sir John Frank
lin. 1t was written at Baffin's bay, in july
1858, at which time the health Of the persons
composing the expedition continued good, and
an enthusiastic determination existed to perse-
we're in endeavoring to ascertain the fate of the
unfortunate British navigator and his seamen,
whom we now know they will never behold.
The writer believed that doctor Kane had de-
termined to continue his researches in the Arc
tic regions for another season.

The Washington Star learns that some nine
months ago, the post Office department caused
an examination to be made into the use of post
age stamps, DC, from the result Of which it
was concluded that fifty two per centum of the
letters sent in the mails were at that time pre-
paid. Very recently second similar inyesti-
CATION shows that at this time quite sixty per
centum of the letters so sent are pre- paid This
increase, the Star remarks, shows that our peo-

The British press is beginning to growl at the
Hardness with which the eastern war is con
dqcted, and day by day the disafection to-
wards the French alliance and the war with
Russia rises higher and higher in England. 1t
isInow openly charged that the naction of the
British fleet in the Baltic arose entirely from
tie favor felt by the officers and the aristocracv
GENERALLY for Russia. It seems odd to hear
such language as the following from the North
British Review. Speaking of the general feel
ing in England, in past time, to sustain AMIGA
bic relations with Russia, it says:
This christian and pacific wish, has, alas,
been sadly disappointed. The friend and ally
OF England has been placed in the position Of
its bitterest enemy. a christian monarch in
defence Of christian rights, has been suddenly
denounced as fend; and, as in private quar-
rels. every virtue is overlooked, every defect
exaggerated, and every vice and crime imputed
to q sovereign who was yesterday urfriend.-
Under such influences frantic people has hur-
red the nation into war, the result of which no
prophetic eye can foresee. But Judging from
tie experience Of the past, we have no hesita-
ton ii predicting, whatever be the results ofthe
struggle, that when England's treasure has
been spent, and England's blood shed, the wis
dom of lord Aberdeen will, when too late, be
understood and appreciated

Ex-president Van Buren, is sojourning at
Vevay, Switzerland, and is earnestly at work
upon his autobiography, in which he has al
ready advanced some two or three hundred
pages. It will not, however be published un-
til after his death, and that event, Judging
from his present appearance and condition, it
is said, will probably be many years hence.
The New York Post says, Mr. Van Buren, has
had wider political experience and held more
exalted public stations than have ever been.

the formation Of the government He is the

stand pretty fair chance with posterity.

southern Michigan railroad, a mail route. in
the course of the trial, and during confinement
IN Jail, Mcdonald made confession which re-

if they succeeded in throwing the cars off the
