Lady Franklin.

1t is proposed by the English journals
that the British Government-which in
March, 1850, offered a reward of 100000
to any party or parties who, in the judg-
ment of the Board of Admiralty, should
discover or effectually relieve any of the
crews" of Sir JOHN FRANKL1N's expedition,
or 100000 to any party who should give
such information as would lead to their re-
lief, or definitely ascertain their fate-should
pay the COST at least, of the expedition sent
out by Lady FRANKLIN in 1857, which has
returned with the fullest information of the
fate of FRANKLIN and his companions.
Lady FRANKLIN has expended all her for
tune, amounting to 100000, in the search,
and the Philadelphia Press proposes that,
unless the British government pay the re-
ward offered, the women of England and
the United States unite in subscription to
raise fund for Lady FRANKL1N's future
support. <-t ..s...l..

From Regular New York Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Oct. 81, 1859.
The clear, bright weather for some time
past has been favorable to open-air displays
and, in consequence, we have had several
days succession of military and fremen's
parades, of very attractive character. The
firemens display drew out the whole city,as
it always does, and the crowd Of spectators
was something stupendous. Last night the

works discharged in showers all along the
line. The parades in Washington square,
by the crack regiments of New York, the
Seventh and the Seventy First, also were
feature of the week. The Seventh regi.
ment, especially, takes great pride in the
perfection of its drill, and its evolutions are
wonderful to behold. Travelled people say
there is no citizen soldiery in the world to
compare with this regiment 1t is chiefly
made up of young business men, clerks, &c.,
who have plenty of time and money to
spare, and spend both without stint to
maintain and increase their reputation, as

The death of the Earl of Jersey, the
senior member of the Jockey Club has been
announced in the English papers. He was
in his eighty-sixth year, and for fully sixty
years has been quite king among sports
men, but has not run horses for some time
past. He was for many years confederate
with Sir JOHN SHELLEY, and his latest
Derby Triumph was in 1886 with the son
of his renowned Cobweb, the unbeaten Bay
Middleton, one of whose feet he kept as a
trophy. As an arbiter of taste, whether in
horses, carriages, saddles, &C., Lord JERSEY
was supreme in the London beau monde !;

Count D'ORsAY to make thing the fashion

ARRIVAL OF THE NOVA sCOTIAN.
France and Austria.

FARTHER POINT, Oct. 29.-The Nova
Scotian passed this point early this morning.
The following is an abstract of the European
intelligence furnished
The treaty of peace between France and
Austria was signed on the 18th inst.
The Paris correspondent of the London
Times states that in addition to the five great
powers, Sardinia, Spain, Sweden, Portugal,
Naples and Rome will be represented in the
European Congress.
tits stated that the treaty between France
and Sardinia would be signed in day or
two, and that tripartite treaty would be
signed subsequently.
The Great Eastern remained at Holyhead.
Prince Albert visited the ship on the 18th,
during the sojourn of the royal family at
Bangor, but the Queen did not accom- pany
him. The reports as to her proposed visit
to America are indefinite, but meeting was
to be held on the 10th, when it was thought
the final arrangement would be made.
A report is current of an approaching
change in the French Ministry.
Morocco has rendered all the satisfaction
demanded by Spain.
The London Times says: "The terms of
the Zarich treaty are almost identical with
those of Villa Franco" The rumor that
France demands 30OOO0,00O of francs from
Piedmont as war indemnity is pronounced
false. She claims only reimbursement of
sixty millions advanced to that Government
in arms and provisions.
1t was reported that the Archbishop of
Bordeaux will visit Rome, to press on the
Pope the necessity for reform. 1t is asser-
ted that France will not recall her troops
from Rome until the form of government
there renders their presence.no longer neces-
sary. Deputations from Parma and Tusca-
ny had had a satisfactory interview with
Napoleon. Several fruitless attempts had
been made to revolutionize Venetia and
Southern Tyrol.
1t is asserted that the Pope in concert
with Napoleon, is about addressing mani
festo to the States of the Church.
Great activity prevailed in the Naples
arsenals, the army being placed on war
footing.
Letters by the China mail confirm the
favorable reception Of the American Minis
ter at Pekin.

The Cincinnati Post Office.

The removal of Mr.. FARAN from the Gin.
cinnati Post Office, to which we referred a
few days ago, is one of that class of political
events which however local in their direct
influences, possess national interest. Such
being the case the following card from the
editor of the journal with which Mr.. FARAN
has long been connected, is worthy of being
read by every Democrat who desires to I'M
derstand the animus which now actuates
the malignant old man who fills the Presi-
Dental Chair:
To the Editor of the ~ Y. Times.
Iobserve in the Washington Constitution
of Saturday, an official announcement of the
long threatened removal of the Hon. j. J..
Faran, Postmaster at Cincinnati. The axe
has been suspended over his head for some
weeks, and at last has fallen. 1t is due to
MIR. Faran, and not less due to the American
public, that brief statement of the circum
stances of his case should be given.
Probably Mr.. Buchanan had no warmer
partisan supporter of his nomination at the
Cincinnati Convention than Mr.. Faran :;
Mayor of the city at that time, he used all
the influence of his official position to bring
about that result. So actively did he
espouse the cause of Mr.. Buchanan that he
engendered personal antipathies which yet
linger in the hearts of quite number of
persons whose prejudices he encountered.
Mr.. Buchanan elected, Mr.. Faran was
appointed to his late position as Postmaster,
he being at the same time editor of the Gin.
cinnati Enquirer. All through the Lecompton
struggle in Congress he warmly took the
side Of the President, and at very heavy
pecuniary sacrifice brought to his aid the
wide circulation of the paper under his
control. 1t may be confidently asserted
that Mr.. Faran published in his paper more
matter in favor Of the Presidents Lecomp-
ton programme than was contained in any

ST. PAUL, Nov. 3, 1859.
There is not much demand 1or Beef cattle at
the present time. The stock on hand amongst
the drovers and butchers will not exceed two
hundred head, the butchers depending almost
entirely on farmers for their supplies. 1t is
thought, however, that by another year, there
will be sufficient amount of home raised to
meet the demand. Very few Sheep are being
slaughtered, as most of the stock brought to the
State are let out for per centage from year to

ST. CLOUD, October 81, 1859.
A large party of Sioux Indians have
camped on Maine Prairie, and are causing
the settlers considerable annoyance. Their
principal object appeared to be game, upon
which they make the most greedy and
destructive inroads. 1t is quite needless for
them to advance so closely upon the settlers,
as the whole extent of country Which they
must have traversed in coming from their
homes, abounds with game. 1 learn that
eight of them visited remote farm house, in
which they found only white woman, and
that they climbed upon the house, and
danced and yelled around it in a hideous
manner. They doubtless hoped to frighten
her away, so they might enter the house and
plumber it.
On Friday last they had a small battle
with four or five Red Lake Chippewas.
Two Sioux and one Chippewa were killed.
The latter was cut up and burned by his

The PIONEER GUARD.-The annual cleo
ton of officers for this fine company took
place on Tuesday evening. The following
are the names of the officers elected for the
ensuing year:
Capta,n-H. H. Western.
First Lieutenant-A. T. Chamblin.
Second I" Theodore Borup.
Third 4" Charles G. Lund.
Emsign-Wm. A. Van Slyke.
We learn that the company is in pros
porous condition, and their selection of off,
GERS will tend to keep up that esprit du corps
so necessary to successful military compa.
ny. To Captain Westerns high qualities as
a disciplinarian we are indebted for the
emulation produced among different compa-
MES, which promises to give the State an
efficient military organization.
We learn that the Company have leased,
for new Armory, the third story Of the
new Bernheimer Block lately erected by
DR.. Hayward, on Third street. The room
is fifty feet wide and sixty-two feet in depth,
with a ceiling fifteen feet high. In the rear
of the room there are two convenient dress
ing rooms, one on either side of the main
entrance, and between which there is neat
little gallery intended for an orchestra. The
space between the joists is filled with NOR
tar, so that no inconvenience will result to
parties occupying the lower rooms from any
noise above.
As soon as the Hall is fitted up, the
Company propose to give an opening ball,
and every effort will be made to make it
one of the pleasantest reunions of the
season.
