The News.
We have published during the past week several
contradictory reports respecting the result Of the
duel between United States Senator Broderick and
Chief Justice Terry of California. The arrival last
night of news from San Francisco to the 10th ut.,
brought by the overland mail which left that city
on the date above mentioned, clears up whatever
doubts existed on the subject. The hostile meet
ing took place near San Francisco on the morning
o. the 18th ult, and Broderck fell at the first fire,
being pierced through the lungs by the bullet from
bis antagonists weapon. He fingered till the
morning of the 10th, when he expired. Judge
Terry was not injured. As our readers are already
aware this unhappy event grew out Of the political
discussions of the canvass which terminated in the
State election on the 9TH ult.

companied them to Stromness, and on the 18th of

coveries Of the officers of the Fox show that Sir
John Franklin died on he 18th Of June, 1s47 pro-
baby On board his ship, surrounded by his com.
rades Il Is also probable that considerable disease
existed on board the ship, as up to the 25th
OF April, 1s4s nine officers and fifteen men
had died. On the 22d of April, lsis, the
ships were abandoned, and the party set
