REMAINS OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN
FOUND.
MONTREAL, Oct. n.


The Herald Of this morning has the fol-
low ing:
In our extra Of yesterday evening, We m
formed the public that ramot was current
That the remains of Sir John Franklin, MS
crew. and other ships. had been discovered.
We Immediately despatched special mes
sancer 20 the Hudson Bay Company house,
A. Iscline; and through the kindness Of the
Governor, Sir George Simpson, we were en-
abled % lay before our readers the follow
inc outlines OF despatch received by him
Yesterday, from DR.. Roe, who has been Alb
sent on q coxstiny expedition since the 10Th
az June. 1853, and returned to York Facto-
~ ON the 2Sth Of August last, from whence
he forwarded letters by express to Sir
George Simpson, via the Red River settle
ment. -.
After briefly noticing the resalt Of his
own expeditions and the difhculties wi'p
which they had to contend, he proceeds 70
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
we're crushed in the ice, and while working
their way south to the great Rock river,
near the outlet Of which party Of whites
died.
Here they learned horrible accounts of
the suffering Of Sir Johns company. The
mutilated corpses Of several furnished food
to their unfortunate companions. This in
formation. which was not only derived from
the Esquimaux who had communicated with
the whites, and who had found their remains.
was also given by another band who had
obtained the details from the survivors.
No doubt is left Of the truth Of the report.
as the natives had in their possession vari-
Gus articles of European manufacture, which
had been in possession of the whites. a.
mong them are silver spoons, forks. &c, on
one Of which is engraved "Sir John Frank
lin, X. c. b." while others have crests on
them, which identity the owners as having
belonged to the Inflated expedition. Draw
ings Of them have been sent down. This
fearful tragedy must have occurred as long
ago as the spring Of 1850.

Indiana Banks.

By reference 10 advertisements it will be
seen that one Of our principal houses adj
vertises to take Indiana money at par
This money will all eventually be at par
but il may be months before such is The
case.
Indiana is at present trying the expert
ment Of permitting her banks to have thirty
days in which to redeem their bills after pre-
sentution, and it is partly owing to this
rather repulsive feature. we presume, that
those Of her banks who have sought to
avsil themselves OF it have been discredit-
ed.
The banks Of Illinois generally rely prin-
cipally upon an exchange business, and the
difficulty they met with in converting In
diana money into exchange no doubt con-
tributed in causing them to refuse longer t
receive it as currency, except at heavy
discount; beside India ma banks had refused
to receive the Georgia" money issued b,
the institutions at Chicago and thus they
sought retaliation.
A communication appears in the Chicag'
Press Of yesterday, signed w. B. Rodgers
Cashier State bank, which says, that The
Indiana State Stock banks are all secured
by State Stocks, which have not yet been
sold lower than lightweight cents to tn
dollar. The writer asserts that in few
days Indiana notes will be as current as
any other western money.

The Currency.
The Dubuque Herald comments only ap,
ON the opening paragraph Of onr reply toit'
ssrictures in regard 10 the currency, ant
thus seeks 10 convey the impression to it'
readers that that alone constituted out an
swer. vs. had hoped better things iroii
one who sots himself up a. the censor o
the lows press upoa the subject Of banks
= sad did not intend our article as an "extin
Guishern oil al that was TO be said apor
this theme By our prolific contemporaries OF
Dubuque The Herald jumps conclusion
when it affirms, thatif dollar OF Specie
would not take the place OF every dollar O
paper money in this State, were il all driv'
en- from circulation. then it shows that the
banks which have put this Papsr in eireuia-
ton are not able to redeem il. Iffor every
dollar Of paper circulated banks had to re-
tain the same amount of specie in their
Golfers. where would be their profits and
what the Inducements Cor men to engage in
bankings
"If the Gazette will tell US what sort Of
currency would take the place Of the paper
money now in circulation in this State, ii
that paper money were exchanged, as We
take il for granted it could be. for specie. we
viii have something presented for consider
alton in opposition to the view OF the Subject
We have put forth.
Our friend is not lacid Ii the paper
money in the State were exchanged for
specie, of course specie would take It's
place. IT then we had the Constitutional
power Of predicating paper issue upon our
specie basis, we would have currency the
profits Of which would inure to our own cit
liens, while the contiguity Of the institution
would cause us to be familiar with its re-
sponsibility. Not having the power, how
ever, to establish banks, the paper Of similar
institutions to those now in vogue, would
in virtue Of the above improbability, consti-
tute our currency.
