FRASKLASD's REMAINS. Lady Frank
lin has been making visit TO Sitka to
get as near as possible to the place where
her lost husband was known to have
been. She is heroic woman, and such
love as hers should inspire her sex to i'm
itate her, though at considerable distance,
instead of listening to the vagaries Of
sorry spinsters, disappointed wives and
such as should never have had chance
to be widows. Well, it is not with this
devoted lady that we have to entertain
the reader--she was in Kentucky only
the other day--but with FARMLAND, who
is now on his travels; and although he
has not written us a line, we are sure is
safe and sound, and looks as little like a
skeleton as ever walked actively on two
pins and flashed an eye Of black with a
glance Of fire. His remains, or what he
left behind him. may be observed in the
faces of those old sinners, Captain John
Wilkerson, of Confederate army fame,
and Sir VIM. Wallace, whose pedigree
and achievements Miss Porter defended
and portrayed in the Scottish Chiefs.
They have laid down the spear and buck
Ter, and have sheathed the sword in the
breasts of enemies, where it stuck, rem
dering the sheath walueless, except to
put up among other odds and ends at
auction. They had bankrupt sale the
other day which was well attended and
such was the strict attention to every
thing and the regularity Of business, one
might have guessed Frankland was some
where around and had not gone to meet
his celebrated female relative before she
left the country. These he knew to be
old soldiers-Wilkerson and Wallace
the two doubleyous-and was well
aware that they understood the auction
business in all its branches and ramifi-
cations. They will have sale on Fri
day Tomorrow to which special atten-
ton is directed and they will continue
to sell regularly, as will be announced,
while FARMLAND remains absent We
might inadvertently have called them
Jolly dogs" but Mark Tapley monopo-
lized everything jolly when Martin was
about to kick the bucket at Eden, and
longer weathering misfortune was indeed
hoping without hope, and calculated to
drive any one but Mark far enough be-
yond the confines of despair. Call there
at the appointed hour in the morning
of Friday and they will show all that re-
mains, at home, of the genial, facetious
and generous, though absent FARMLAND.

ENGLAND.

From a private letter to a gentleman re-
siding in Philadelphia We extract the fol-
lowing graphic statement of the political
situation in England:
improvements march slowly in England,
but not less surely. Public education, JUS
tice to Ireland, the ballot, the game laws,
etc., etc., are just now absorbing public at
tention. There is an intense struggle re-
gpecting the first, between the advocates
for religious instruction in the schools and
those who properly desire to eliminate it
altogether from the curriculum, and put
it where it really belongs, under the charge
of the parent and the church of which he
may be a member. The Church of England
is itself divided on the subject; many emf
nent divines being among the advocates of
pure secular instruction. The tenden-
CIV of opinion evidently points to
the disestabIishment of the Church
of England: the very fact that the
Church of Ireland beingnow stronger since
it has been thrown on its own resources, is
an argument in favor of placing all reli-
gions on an equality. 1t is but q question
of time. The ~abrogation of the game laws
is also loudly called for. The tenure Of
land, also, will be subjected TO many mod
fcations, and the bill now before Parlia-
ment, entitled 1.-THE Tenure of Land Bill, "
has aroused much attention to the state of
the law in England on this question. The
ballot question grows naturally out of the
last. Witness the numerous e%ruptions in
Wales, because tenants dared to exercise
the franchise contrary to the expressed
wishes (commandsD of their landlords. 1
have great hopes of the future; the first
step is the education of the masses, at
present brutally demoralized by Ignorance,
drunkenness, and pauperism. The investi-
cation into the bribery at elections proves
how subversive it must be to every honest,
indeDendent feeling.
