The Fate of Franklin.

The Buddington party saved much
valuable manuscript from the wreck
ofth PoiariS, but Mr. Smith, of Tes-
suisak, is said to have documents
which belong to Captain Hall quite
as valuable as any others likely to
have been left by him. Hall and
Bessels both frequented Smiths
house, and meeting there one even
ing, came to very strong language
regarding each other. Subsequently,
Hall confded to Smith four boxes,
some Of which referred to his re-
searches into the fate of Sir John
Franklin. Hall never permitted these
notes to be published, being deter
mined, he said, to keep the secret till
after the death Of Lady Franklin.
out OF regard to her feelings. The
suppressed data were to the awful
purport chat Franklin's party were
reduced to eating each other. The
discovery or evidence of such
calamity, awful as it was, would of

sought so arduously, to delay, as it
proved, beyond his own death, the
full realization of his fame, out of
regard to the feelings of the aged
and mourning widow, makes alto
gether an exhibition of real chivalry
that attests the true hero stuff in
this man. 1t is not alone his ice
hewn grave that challenges the
world. The heart within it was brave
and tender.

THE GOLD MARKET.
The speculation In gold was without feature at
the close, but at times during the week promised
to be exceptionally lively Opinion is about evenly
divided as TO the course OF gold during the early
months OF the new year, and there are not few
who express the belief that we shall see much
higher rates. Much however, depends on the
action of Congress, the strength Of the Treasury
and the character and extent OF importations In
nation will unquestionably enhance the value OF
coin and give stimulus to the market which it
has not had for many months, from purely natural
causes.
The lowest price or the week was 1091 and the
highest l10A the decline being late in the week,
when 1t was announced that the January interest
on the public debt would be anticipated without
rebate on the 29th inst. The fall was recovered at
the close, however, on the receipt OF advices from
washington, with reference to the probable action
OF Congress-
FOREIGN EXCHANGE.
sharp advance occurred in this market Satur-
day, owing to scarcity OF commercial bills, the
rates being 1881 for prime bankers sixty days
sterling and i08H for sight, AS an evidence OF the
small supply OF cotton bills, we may mention that
exchange at New Orleans on New YORK has fallen
within the past few days from per cent to 4
per cent discount The Christmas holiday in Eng
land and America has checked the exports OF
breadstuffs and provisions this week, especially
from the port of New York. all Of which has its in
1uence on the exchange market. Some Of our
bankers sold their own bills freely, expecting to
cover the same with cotton bills in Southern ports
but have been disappointed to 'syme extent and
hence they were In the market as buyers. Actual
business in sterling to-day was as high as 1Osh a
