THE REMAINS OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN AND HIS
CREW DIscovERED--The N. Y. Herald says. tel
egraphic dispatch from Montreal gives us news
respecting the fate of Sir John Franklin and his
company. A letter received by Sir George Simp-
son, Governor of the Hudson Bay Company, from
Dr. Rae, the celebrated explorer dated York Fac
tory, August 4, 1854 conveyed the intelligence of
the discovery of the remains of the intrepid navi-
gator and his companions, who starved to death in
the spring of 1850, to the northwest of Fox River.
The information is regarded as perfectly reliable.
The expedition commanded by Sir John, sent out
in search of Northwest passage through the Po-
lar Seas, comprised the ships E' ebus and Terror
1t left in 1916, and from that time until August
Of the present year no trace of them had been
found The vessels were probably ground to atoms
amid the ice foes, of the Arctic region, and the
unfortunate company in endeavoring to reach the
settlements of the Hudson Bay Company, after ex-
hausting the scanty supply of provisions saved
from the crumbling ships lay down to perish
1t appears that at last the party was reduced to
eating the flesh of their companions
deficiency of $4,000 has been discovered in
the accounts of the Ocean Bank.

Correspondence of the Argus.

COLD SPRINGS Nov. lG, 1854.
DEAR ARGUS Time and its ample round has
once more brought the heat and excitement of de-
bate; and once more from the half hallowed walls
of our Temperance Hall resounds the contentious
voices of the Cold Spring Franklin Institute deba-
tors. The misty clouds of error and of ignorance
in round weekly periods, are penetrated and dis
persed by illumined mind in its search for truth.
The gorgeous temple of truth is lit up by minds
worn bright by delving in the ruins of all ages
Many have been the questions debted; weightly
the arguments adduced; freely have compliments
been bestowed for oratorical powers and most mod
estly and complacently have they been received.
Inaugural and valedictory addresses have been
listened to with marked and pleasurabe attention.
which have embodied on the one hand thankful
ness for honors conferred, acknowledged inability to
perform the great and responsible duties devolved
upon them, and promises of fidelity in Office; and
on the other congratulations of prosperity and sue
cess, with many hopes for future usefulness and
happiness to the society," and words of advice from
experience
Our last question reads MS foows:-
"Resotved, That the Public School Fund of Cal
forna should be applied to the support of sectarian
schools"
The arguments adduced were we'll calculated to
throw light and lustre upon our great American
school system, and great was the feeling on the
subject, that some thought that it would dispel
darkness and ignorance from the whole earth, while
others had no doubt that it would plant the stars
and stripes in all the capitals of the world. We
can scarce doubt that this great system does con-
tain the elements for eecting this great work. But
of course religion and the bible are and must ever
be kept in vew as the light and controlling influence
to such great results.
Our next question is one of scarcely less impor-
tance than the aboye-that is.
'Resolved, That Representatives should always
obey the viii Of their constituents"
Yours &c,
DEBATER.
