for Boston, was abandoned at sea on the
4th o. September, leaking badly. The
crew had reached Liverpool also por-
ton of the cargo.
GREAT BRITAIN.-The- screw steamer
Fox, Capt. McClintock sent by Lady
Franklin to the Arctic regions, in search OF
Sir John Franklin's expedition, Lad re-
turned to England, having been complete
| ly successful.
At Point William, on the northwest
coast Of King Williams Island, record
was found dated April 25th, 1S4S, signed
by Captains Croser and FitZjames. The
record SAYS the Erubus and Terror were
abandoned three days previously in the ice,
five leagues to northwest, and the survi-
vors, amounting in all to one hundred and
five were proceeding to Great Fish river.
Sir John Franklin had died June 11th,
1S47, land the total deaths to date had
been nine officers and fifteen men.
Many interesting relics of the expedition
found on the western shore of King Will
liam's Island were explained by Esquimaux,
who stated that after their abandonment
one ship was crushed in the ice and sunk,
and the other was forced on shore, where
she remained. The Fox was unable to
penetrate beyond Bellot Straits, and win
tered in Bentford Bay Minute and in,
teresting details of the expedition are pub
lished. Several skeletons of Franklin s
men, large quantities of clothing, &C., and
a duplicate record up to the abandonment
of the ships were discovered.
The American occupation of the Island
of San Juan, attracts considerable atten-
ton in journals. The Times editorialy
states the facts in the case, and says, for
tunate V the affair is in good hands, and
we trust there can be no reason to doubt
that the Governments of the two countries
will proceed to decision in the same
spirit of moderation and equity by which
their views of questions have hitherto been
characterized. The article concluded as
follows: 1t is not question of justice,
the decision should depend upon terms of
treaty, fairly interpreted, and it was evi
IDENTIFY not devised by either Government
alone. If, however, it should prove that
the existing conventions cannot be so ap-
piled as to satisfy the contracting parties
there can surely be no reason why two
States which have not adjusted their re-
spective limits across an entire continent,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, should
not conclude their work in the narrow wa
tiers of Vancouvers Island.
The Americans may rest assured that in
such negotiations, they will meet with no
feelings but those of fairness and amty, on
the part of this country. 1t would be
| hard indeed if the children of the same
stock, who can feel the sympathies of blood
and lineage as they were felt and express
ed on the waters of the Peiho, should find
much difficulty in adjusting petty boun-
dairy question, on the coast of the Pacific.
The London Post also again refers to
the subject, and says if the Importance of
San Juan to the two countries be consider
ed, there can be no doubt that its posses
sion may be said to be absolutely necessa-
ry to the security of British Columbia. 1t
thinks the government at Washington can
have nothing to gain by the adoption of
the violent and unjustiiabIe proceedings
of Harvey.
Thirty Of the crew of the Great Eastern
had been arrested and tried at Plymouth
for mutinous conduct in refusing to wash
the decks when ordered. The two ring
leaders were sentenced for three weeks and
a months imprisonment, respectively, at
hard labor, and the remainder for a fort
night each.
The evidence showed that the ships
crew was far from complete. English
journals strongly denounce the incomplete
and hurried manner in which the ship was
sent to sea. A vague rumor h As been cur
rent that her first voyage would be post
poned till next year, and that in the inter
i'm she would be exhibited at the principal
ports in the kingdom. This, however
has been authoritiveIy contradicted, anG
she is still advertised to leave Holyhead
for Portland on the Goth Of October.
It is announced that the Queen, on hel
way back from Scotland, will visit the
Great Eastern at Holyhead on the 18th
and stay at Penryn Castle, as the guest O
Col. Pennant.
At the agricultural show at Leiyes z
steam chaff cutter exploded, killing foul
persons.
Upwards of thousand mariners, strong
detachment of rifle brigade, with light in
fantry regiments, &c, were to leave Eng
land for China. The first of the squadron
for service against China had already sail
ed. The government intends despatchine
fifty gun boats besides frigates and Other
vessels.
Sir Cusock Roney writes to the Dublin
journals, positively asserting that the gov
eminent intends setting aside the GALWAY
mail contract at the next session of Parlia
ment. Some of the Irish papers ridcult
The idea.
Al order for 100000 cartridges packeC
in 200 boxes had been executed at Wool
wich, in three days, including the storing
on board. These go to China, and a sec
ond order, to much greater extent, wa:
in progress for the sea voyage.
