Sir John Franklin's Party.

The Montreal papers contain additional par.
,icuars of the discovery of Sir John Franklin's
narty as reported in the dispatch of DR.. Rae:
The Esauimaux state that in the spring Of
1850 they saw forty white men travelling along
the north shore of Prince Williams Sound, and
drawing their boats over the ice No one be-
lonrine to the party could speak the native Ian
euagc but they gave the Esqnimaux to under
stand By signs that their ships had been crushed
IN the ice, and that they were going where they
,xncctrd 10 be able to shoot some deer.
All the party except one are described by the
natives to have looked gerry thin, and they ap-
neared to be short OF provisions. They pur-
Chased a seal from the natives.
Afterward, but during the same season. the
natives found the dead bodies of thirty white
men. one of whom, supposed to be an officer,
hearing telescope strapped over his shoulder.
Some of the dead bodies were found in tents,
and others under boats sc.
Tn addition to the above the Montreal Herald
Of the 21st ult., gives the following particulars
Tn our extra of Yesterday evening we inform
cd the public that a r,Imor was current in town
that the remains of Sir John Franklin and bis
crew. and their ships, had been discovered.
We Immediately despatched special messenger
to the Hudson Bay Companys house at La
chine and through the kindness of the Gov
ernor Sir George Simpson, are enabled to lay
before our readers the following outline of a
despatch received by him yesterday from Dir.
Rae:
.Dr. Rea has been absent on the coast since
+be first of the month of June, 1853, and re-
turned to York Factory on the 18th OF August
last. whence he for warded letters by express to
Sir George Simpson, ria the Red River settle
ment.
"After very briefly noticing the result Of his
own expedition, and the difficulties with which
they had to contend, he proceeds to state that
from Esoumaux he had obtained certain infor-
nation of the fate of Sir John Franllin's ex-
pedtion, who had been starved to death after
the loss of their ships, which were crushed in
the ice, and while making their way south to
the Great Fish River of Buck, near the outlet
of which party Of whites died, leaving &C
counts of their sufferings in the mutllated
corpses of some, which had evidently furnished
food to their unfortunate companions
"This information, although not derived from
the Esuuimaux who had communicated with the
whites, and who found their remains, but from
another band who obtained the details vira noce,
NAV vet be relied on. No doubt is left Of the
truth of the report as the natives had in their
possession various articles of European man
lfacture which had been in possession OF the
whites.
"Amoug these are several silver spoons, forks,
&C., on one of which is engraved Sir John
Franklin, X. C. B. while others have crests
and initials on them which identify the owner
as having belonged to the Inflated expedition

WoMAN's MIssIoN--A distinguished preacher
thus sums up the history Of d woman who had
been called to her long home: !
She a she drank, she slept che dressed she danced
and she died!
The Lily says this is the history of the mass
of women, but Mrs. Swisshelm thinks some inn
portant chapters are left out. The mass OF
women she says, are born, go to boarding school,
get married, 60 to church, bring up family,
and die after that; and her opinion is, that any
one who eats well, and drinks well, sleeps we'll,
dresses well, dances well, and dies well, has
done more for the world than many distinguish
cd people succeed in doing. If, in addition to
this, she is born well, goes to school well, mar
ries well, goes to church well, and brings up a
family well, she has been public benefactor Of
no ordinary kind.
A woman who is well born--who has received
from her parents healthy mental and phys ical
organization, and who conducts herself well in
the ordinary relations Of life, is a very great
woman. TO know how to eat, and drink, and
sleep, and dress, and dance. and die, is the sum
of knowledge, and he or she who does all these
things well, is wise and prudent above the com
mon order Of Christians and philosophers
Let no one speak lightly of eating, drinking,
sleeping dressing, dancing, and dying, for the
catalogue embraces more than half the impoF-
tant business Of life, and he who does these well
will do more, and is an honor and blessing Y
the race. s.sf8 as ~
