CorTRAsT.-The incident of the wreck
OF the British steamer B~irkenhssJ, on the
coast of Africa, present n strong contrast
with the fate of the Arctic and her unfortu.
nate passengers. 1t is thus referred to 10y
the N. Y. Express A:
1.-THE steamer struck on q hidden rock,
stove a plank at the bows, and went to the
bottom, we believe, in half an hours time.
There was a regiment Of troops on board.
AS soon as the alarm was given, and it be-
came apparent that the ships fate was
sealed, the roll of the drum called the SOL
diers to arms OF the upper deck. That
call was pro nptly obeyed. though every
gallant heart there knew that it was his
death m There they stood as if in
battle arrays mo,ionless lot Of brave mn
men who were men indeed. The ship
every moment was going down-but there
were no traitors, no deserters, no cravens
there. The women and children got into
the boats, and all. or nearly all, saved there
were no boats for the troops, but there. was
no panic, no blanchod, pale, quivering lips
among them. Down went the ship, and
down went chat heroic band, shoulder to
shoulder, firing a feu de joie as they sank
beneath the waves. Men like these never
perish their bodies may be given 10 the
fish ,s,of the sea, but their memories are, as
they ought To be-immortal."
Marine records furnish many instances
of manly devotion, and true heroism but
nothing on the records of knightly doings
or on the page of all history furnishes to
our mind, a more sublime manifestation Of
the highest and purest type of true courage,
than is found in the above.

REMARxABLE CUEE.-I feel it my duty
to make known the following remarkable
cure of disease of the lungs BY inhaling, as
advised BY DIR. r. Hunters of your city.
During all the past Winter and Spring,
my wife suffered very much from disease,
involving the throat and lungs. All tie
usual remedies were resor;ed to in her case,
without aflording relief. Such was her
state in May, that | felt serious alarm for
her safety, when providentially | was .advis-
ed TO consult DR.. Robert Hunter, for the
purpose of trying whether by inhaling medi.
cines into the lungs, something could o; be
done to arrest the progress of tho disease
1t is my happiness to state that under this
treatment she has entirely recovered, and is
now in the enjoyment of excellent hralih.
will be happy at all times TO give per-
sonally such further particulars regarding
the treatment of Mrs. Smiths case, as may
be desired by persons similarly afflicted.
Your obd't servant, SAMUEL SMITH.

DR.. Hunter, the physician referred to
above, resides, at S28 Broadway, n. Y, and
is the author of a work of merit on Diseases
Of the Throat and Lungs.

Roasted potatoes are digested in hall the

AIN. COLLINS FAxrLY.-lt is now asccr,
mined beyond all doubt, that the three mem-
bars of Mr. Collins family on board the
Arctic went down with the ship. The
son refused a life preserver to the last SO
long q, there. was a female at hand in need
of one. The New York Herald sa, -
Mrs. Collins was returning from Europe,
where she had been for the benefit Of her
health, which had lattsrly been materially
impaired, and her children accompanied her
10 afford her the benefit of their fond care
aud attention. What a bereavement for the
survivors Of this unfortunate family, so re-
markable for the affection and harmony
of feeling which united them. Miss Col
Inns was only nineteen, and was endcared to
every one by the grace and alniabilty Of her
character. Her brother was three years
younger, but already gave evidence of that
intelligence, judgment and tact which have
elevated his father TO so high a position in
the commercial world.

Il The terrific intelligence Of The loss Of the

dings, which cali forth n sympathetic word

even the stout and brave, who are endowed
with no childish emotions, and who are not
accustomed To yield TO ordinary Sorrows
We cieve the tremendous intelligence that
a great battle has been fought at the East
that Sebastapol has fallen, and that thirty
thousand human beings hare been Killed
and for what,-simply because human ru-

Of this int lligence we speak not of the
merits of the controversy between Turkey
and Russia, in which christian England
and France have paricipated,-but We
merely comment upon the facts, that in the

three hundred beings by shipwreck,-and
ia the other the sam, millions wildly re-
joice over the brutal murder Of more than
thirty thousand human beings,-to say
nothing of the thousands, aye, millions Of
widows, orphans and distressed relatives

MONTREAL, Saturday, Oct. II.

'hONA VIZ oSN
The Herald Of this morning has the fol-
lowing
"In our extra Of yesterday evening, we
informed the public that a rum n was cur
rent in town, that the remains Of Sir John
Franklin and of his crew and their ships
had been discov cred. We Immediately dis
patched special messenger to the Hudson
Bay Company's House, at Lachine, and
through the kindness Of the Governor, Sir
George Simpson, are enabled to lay before
our readers the following outlines of a dis
patch received by him yesterday.
"Dr. Rae has been absent on the coast
since the first of the month of June, 1853,
and returned to York Factory on the 2Sth
August last, from whence he forwarded let
ters by express to Sir Geo. Simpson, via
the Red River Settlement"
A iter briefly noticing the result OF his
own explorations, and the difficulties with
which they had to contend, he proceeds TO
state that from the Esquimaux he had OBJ
tanned certain information of the fate Of Sir
John Franklin, who had been starved to
death, after the loss of their ships, which
were crushed in the ice, and while max
ing their way south to the Great Fish
River of Buck, near the outlet of which n
party Of whites died, leaving account of
their suif1rings in the mutilated corpses Of
somc,.which hal evidently furni. hsd food
to their unfortunate companions.
This information, although not derived
from the Esquimaux, who had communicate
ed with the whites, and who found their
remains, but from another band who OBJ
tlined the details viva vocr, my YET BE- re-
Ii ID on. No doubt is left of the truth OF
the report, as the natives had in their pos
session various articles of European manu-
%foctur., which had been in possession Of the
whites. Among tn SO are several silver
spoons. forks, ETC., Oh II OF which is en-
graved Sir John Fraaklin, X. G. B., while
the others have crests and initials on them
which identify the owners as having be-
longed to the Inflated expedition. Drawings
of some of these have been sent down.
This fearful tragedy must have occurred
as long ago aS III, Spring Of 1850.
The foregoing embraces all the particu.
lars as yet known in this city.

lJ-There is probably no place Of its size
in The United States, where a large public
Hall is so much required as in this city,
The Halls of the Hotels are all very good
and are admirably adapted for the amuse-
ments of the fashionable season but the
place requires a commodious Hall, capable
of accommodating comfortably at least a
thousand persons, somewhere in the central
part of The city, and not far from Thames
street, which would be of easy and conve-
nient access to the citizens generally
We should suppose that it would be a good
investment for some one TO put up a build
ing ofthis kind, in a central location if on
Thames street, the first story could be &C.
cupied as stores, the second by the Me-
chanics' Society, for their meetings, Libra
ry, &c, and the third as a public Hall, for
lectures, exhibitions and the like. Thus
occupied, the income would certainly pay
a very handsome interest on the investment
and be Of great public benefit. We make
these suggestions with the hope that some
enterprising man will embark in the pro.
ject, and, while he benefits himself, at the
same time greatly accommodate the pub
lie.

DIFFUSION IN A LADY's DRkss.-A curl.
ous trial was recently held at tho Westmin-
,ter County Court. A dressmaker brought
ana action against Miss Harriet Wslrand
daughter Of Lady Walrand, to recover the
sum of twenty pounds, for court dress, in
which that young lady was to be presented
to Her Majcsty's Drawing Room. A So
lci,or appeared on either side. In answer
to her solicitor, plaintiff ssated that her claim
was for a tulle dress, with hce founces,
and amongst the items was ~eleven'yards Of
''dclusion." The order was given by Lacy
W., but the dress being for her daughter,
she had sued that lady. Witness had
made nineteen applies atoms for payment,
but being unable to obtain the money, had
instituted the present proceedings. The ev-
idence of Lady w. was introduced to show
that the dress was a misft. In answer to
the Judge, Lady Walrand said thatthc "de-
fusion" spoken Of as belonging TO the dress,
was a bright garment worn beneath the
skirt 10 set il off, and be seen at a distance.
Ills Honor, amid much laughter, observed
that that was to him a new explanation OF
the word "delusion," and said It was quite
clear ths plaintiff had proceeded against The
wrong party. Miss Wulrnnd being what
the law termed an infant, and Lady Wal
rand having given the order, her ladyship
was the proper person to have been sued.
