YesLady Franklin’s expedition has sailed : in a law days hence it will reach the ice, where the hardships of an Arctic voyage commence. To Captain M’Clintock and his gallant crvw we sincerely wish God speed! There mu~t be relics in existence which will aflord a satisfactory clue to the fate of the lost Sir John Franklin and his companions ; the remains of such an expedition as that which he commanded cannot yet be utterly obliterated. Besides, the “ Fox,” sails unâ€" der Spel'i'lily favorable auspices. Captain M’Clintock will doubtless be e abled to profit by the experience of all the previous Searching expeditions; they have extended over a wide expnnSe of ground; he has now but a comparatively small space to explore; that done, the work will be thoroughly ac- complished, eiery mile of those icebound regions will have been minutely examined.

The most distant} surmise that any of the band can be still alivi- has long since faded away; the “ Fox” new nails to search for their remains. The sturdy Highlander reverently dotled his home! as the ilittle vessel gradually became less, and looking heavenwarils, whilst tears trickled down his manly cheek, blessed that noble lady who had staked her all in the enterprise and trusted, fondly trusted, that her womanly devotion might meet with due reward. Last Wednesday, at a very early hour, th City of Aberdeen was the scene of bustle and eXcitement.

It seems surprising that these gallant regiments have not been there before. as they require the discipline ofcamp, we should think, as much as other cavalry regiments In the service.

A lew days alter Dr. Parsons was sent for, and attended, but eventually Dr. Phillbrick Was called in and performed the operation of trepanning. The deceased lingered on until last week, wheu,during one ol the heavy thunder storms he got into a very exciteahle state and expired. As the deceased was a Catholic and Morrow an Orangeman it was rumored that there had been religious difl'erences between them and perhaps foul play, but the unanimous opinion of the jurymen, sixteen in number, was to the contrary,aniong whom were several Catholics as well as Orangemen. The verdict of the jury was in accordance With the facts, that no doubt death was caused by the fracture on the skull, but how inflicted there was no evidence to show.

It was noticed at the Paris Observatory on the night of the 23rd ot‘June, by M. Dian but had b1 en detected by a Berlin astronomer on the 22nd. Its pmitlon is in the constel- lution Perseus. From observations made by M. Yvon Villareau. the Otbtl of the new ct-lestiul vi~itant has been cah-uhttcd. It appears to be appnouctnng the earth so rapi- 'y that it will soon present a fine objrct to the naked eye.

' The New Herald thinks that it would be disastrous to the cause ofcivilizmion, to have the British defeated in India. Our contrm-V porary argues that in many respects such a defeat would prove irjurious to the United btutes, and adds, that were proper means taken, the active sympathy ot' the latter country could be Secured in favor of Great Britain. The proper means alluded to by the [Jerald are, that “ England should cede the entire control ol‘ this continent and its dependencies to the Unllt’ti mules." And it this Wt-I‘e done, all the English would gain in return, according to the Iferald. Would be the prn'tlrege of enlisting snldiens in the United males. The British Will not require and] aid, and the Herald can scarcely be serious in ofliering II. It the United States can keep the Mormons and Indians in proper order. to say nothing of l’lug-Uglies. Dead Rabbits, and other internal enemies, will be quite as much as they can do for game time. â€"Col(mi.st.

SIR,â€"ln looking over the Markham Economist, of the ‘let instant, I saw an ar- ticle headed, “Blazes among his Friends.” I perused it to the end, and was astonished to find that the writer had signed himself, “ Your Own Comet.” I was not aware that the Economist kept a travelling Comet in his establishment; more especia ly, one capable of telling such falsehoods. I will now give you the text :â€"“ You should have been here on Monday last to witness the Celebration) of the glorious Twelfth, ever memorable to the immortal King William.” Yes, Mr. Comet, it is ever memorable to every lover of civil and religious liberty in the British Empire. The Battle of the Boyne gained for Protestants an open Bible, that the wicked and tyranical James the II. would have kept sealed; but,that restitution hurled a tyrant from the throne, and gave to Britain a Protestant Monarch of glorious memory. Look into history and open your eyes, Mr. Comet; massacre after massacre followed in Ireland ; how many were piked at VVexl‘ord bridge, Scolobo‘Auo barn, Lord Edward Fitzgerald's rebellion? 'J‘he noted Daniel U’Connell did all he could to overthrow that Constitution, that is ever dear to everv protestant. Now, sir. I was in Stouflville on the l3th ofJuly, 1857, and of the maSSes that were there, there was not a loud or angry word; and as to the fight which you say took place, there is not one word of truth in the whole statement. There has been a great many false calcula- tions of the whereabouts the Comet would strike, and it was little thought that it would strike Stoufi'ville on the 13th. However, the concussion was very light; the Cornet was no doubt a little hurt when Blazes was hurling his pawerful arguments at his oppo- nents, and calling the attention of the audi- We wish to he diainelly underuood that we will not hold ourselves TBSPOIISIUlB for the opinions of our Correspondents.
