SIR JOHN FRANKLIN.--The London Attencun
declares the story Of Doctor Rae, in regard to
the fate of Sir John Franklin, to be ''incredible
1t observes" Sir John and his comrades may
have persisted, but the evidence furnished b,
the Doctor does not materially change our pre-
vious knowledge" The articles or relics which
no has brought home, arc accounted for in thi.
way: The Erebus and Terror, after being
abandoned by the crews, were boarded by the
ESQ uimaux, and ri1ed Of their treasures. The
British Admiralty would seem TO share their
doubts; for it has determined that another ex.
petition shall be dispatched, perhaps this week
for the object of visiting the locality mentioned
by the Esquimaux as that of the catastrophe.

SOMETHING FOR FARMERs.-The November
number Of the Michigan Farmer is before us
with it's usual amount Of useful Information.
No farmer should be without some good agri-
cultural paper. Book knowledge, notwithsiand.

ed agricuhurist, is as profitable to the farmer
as scientific knowledge is to the mechanic, the
engineer or the surveyor.

err French troops, under General Canrober'' ar
rived. Ill
The battle lasted Till the afternoon, when
the Russians retired, having suffered heavy
loss, and leaving several hundred prisoners IN
the hands Of the English; the latter lost great
number of men. Gems Brown, Beniinck. Bull
ler and Torrens were moro or less dangerously
wounded.
The prevalent opinion here is, that If such an
other victory is obtained, the Allies will DO
obliged to raise the siege; but it is good sign
that the last Russian dispatch published, only
reaches up to the 9th. Its sense is, that two
sorties were made on that date--one against the
right wing of the siege works. On the right
wing of the army the guns of one battery were
spiked, in the other 5 guns were spiked. The
loss on both sides was very severe. A French
division, which pursued the Russians, and at
tempted to enter with them, was repulsed with
great loss. W
A terrific storm is raging here to-day. fg
Prince Gortschakoff has officially announced
to Count Buol that Russia is prepared to treat
direct with Austria on the basis Of the four con-
ditions. ~
This is here considered pal pable attempt TO
cause disunon between Austria and the western
Powers"

Not three hours, but one quarter Of an hour,
served to lay all these gallant fellows low, and
every soul would have been cut off had it not
been for the heavy Dragons, who charged as
rapidly as they could in the track Of the devot-
ed light" Of this latter charge, Lord Raglan
says: "The charge of this brigade (heavy cava-
ry) was one of the most successful ever wit.
messed, was never for moment doubtful, and
was in the highest degree creditable to Brigader
General Scarlet and the officers and men enga-
ged in it," IL and the brave stand made by the
Scotch Highlanders, and some assistance given
by the French, certainly redeemed the day. Az.
ter the action it was resolved by the Allies to
abandon the position at Balaklava, and to retire
to the hills overlooking the town, in which case
the depot would have been established at Ar.
row Bay or Cherson. But advices of the 9th
state that it has been undecided to retain Balak.
