Such being the fact, we need not dwell upon the

identified with unsurpassed excellence.
We beg particularly to notice that their brand
still bears the same name of Heidsieck & Co., in

piled to a note of hand, after the lapse Of few

No one has yet followed Franklin into the
open Polar sea, unless it be DR.. Kane. The
efforts hitherto made have been wholly inefi-
cient, and they do not warrant the hasty and
cruel decision of the British admiralty
The Journal evidently is no believer in the
theory that the world knows now all of Frank
lin it ever will know; for, in conclusion, the ed.
itor says:
at is the common belief Of Arctic nayiga
tors, that succession Of islands line the north
west coast Of Bafin's bay to and beyond Beh-
rings straits. Failing to find an open pas
sage from the Polar sea, through openings
between those islands to those straits, Frank
lin would of course winter, as did Captain
Mcclure, in the most convenient and accessible
harbor, aud, no doubt with the same result,
Captain Mcclure took the inner passage be-
tween those islands and the continent. The
means now exist for the traversing this entire
region with safety, rapidity, and certainty, and
they will be promoted by the presence Of Cap
tain M'Clure's vessel at Behring's island-one
of the series of islands to which allusion has
been made. The question whether or not Sir
John Franklin and his comrades have died in
the service of England, cannot be Justly de-
cided, in view of these facts, until after the in
tervening space between the waters which flow
into the Atlantic, and those which flow into
the Pacific, shall have been thoroughly and in
vain examined. Proper examination has not
yet been made and cannot be made before the
3lst March, as it will then be Arctic winter; and
we trust that an order so inhuman and barba-
rous, and so discreditable to o civilized and
Christian community, will be overruled by the
British government and people"
