REV. 1.Ir.. Spurgkon ON Catechisms. — IN a sermon, to Sabbath School teachers. Mr. Spuxgoon spoke as follows:—"Let the Sunday s-'hools of Lngland teach well the children. Let them not merely occupy their time with pious phrases, but let them tench them the whole Gospel and the doctrines of crace intelligently, and let them prpy over the chil i.en, and never be satisfied unless the children :11' turned to the Lord Jeaua Christ and adderl to the i iuirch, and then I shall not be afrai i of Popery. Popish priests said of old that they could have won England back again to > Rome if it had not been for the catechising of the children. We have laid aside catechisms, I think, with too little reason." A Remarkable SCOTCHWOMAN.—1The Scots- mem announces the death of Mrs. Janet Hamilton, the Coatbridge poetess, "whom it describes as one of the most remarkable Scotchwomen of the present century. Janet Hamilton was the daughter of a work- ing shoemaker, and although without education, the mother of a large family—she married at thirteen- and for many years towards the close of her life totally blind, yet connived amid circumstances seem- ingly so adverse from tirst to last not only to store her mind by self-culture, but to produce poems and various other writings of no ordinary merit. About two months ago a number of Mrs. Hamilton's ad- mirers, among whom were Lord Dalhousie, Lord Home, Sir W. Stirling-Maxwell, and Sheriff nell, proposed to raue £ 100 to pr -««Tit to Mrs. Hamilton, But her death has rendered fruitless tho kind design, except in z, far as it has shewn bow many :\nd warm friends she posse.J.

He recommends that the subscribers to the different charities should take the matter into their own hands. A deputation has waited on Earl Granville to present a memorial impressing the importance of prevent- ing the extension of slavery and the slave trade in the h pper Nile. His lordship was glad that the Khedive was so much in favour of abolition. Our Go- vernment were giving the question every attention. Torquay has long been dissatisfied with the rail- way accommodation afforded it, and at a meeting held on Saturday it was unanimously resolved to support the Devon and Cornwall Railway Company if they would endeavour to obtain permission to construct a line beween Exeter and Torquay. The speakers complained bitterly of the apparently sys- tematic detention of trains. In Devon and Cornwall at the municipal elections, there was less disorder than formerly prevailed on such occasions; but in some towns, Helston and Launceston to wit, there was much commotion after the poll had closed, and in many towns treating seemed to have been carried on to such an extent that drunkenness was deplorably prevalent. Mr. Gladstone's secretary, in reply to a communica- tion from the National Chamber of Trade, states thather Majesty's advisers see much difficulty in any measure intended to make the officers of the Govern- ment responsible for the inspection and analysis of tea in bond." It was suggested by the Chamber that a measure of this character might take the place of the Adulteration Act, which was now pressing heavily on the trading community." News has arrived at Aden from Zanzibar to the effect that Sub-Lieutenant Marcus M'Causland, of her Majesty's ship Daphne, has been killed by natives while cruising after slavers near Brave.

The remains of the King of Saxony have been de- posited in the tomb of the Saxon monarch*, situated in the Royal Catholic Church, Dresden. Besides King Albert and Prince George of Saxony, there were present the German Crown Prince, representing and mind of the Church of England, and were intro- ducing among us the most destructive and dangerous characteristic of an alien and repudiated system. THE WORKS OF EDWIN LANDSEEK.—It was a wise but almost inevitable thought on the part of the Royal Academy to collect into its forthcoming Winter Exhibition of works by deceased masters the paintings and drawings and etchings of Sir Edwin Landseer. They will form » wonderful exhibition possibly as many as 600 or 700 productions of the marvellous pencil of the great artist. Only second in attraction is the exhibition now open at No. 6, Pall-mall. Mr. Graves has collected 333 engravings from paintings, draw- ings, and etchings by the mighty master, com- mencing with some etched by him when he was under ten years of age, possibly one or two executed when he was aged five years. Mr. Graves shews also an engraving for the copyright of which he paid the artist five guineas, and one for which he paid him £ 3,000-the former being the illustration to the Waverley novels Wamba and his Dog3,' the latter being A Dialogue at Waterloo.' A very large proportion of these en- gravings are by Thomas Landseer, as great a master in his art as Sir Edwin was in his. There are four portraitil-we believe Sir Edwin never would sit Înr a photograph--one after John Hayter; one, a litho- graph after Count d'Orsay; one, a lithograph aldo. after John Ballantyne, A.R.A:S., and bis own famous portrait of himself, & mezzotint, for which Mr. Graves paid Samuel Cousins, R.A., the large sum of £600. It is not too much to say that many of these engravings are better, and really of more worth than the pictures from which they were taken. Sir Edwin touched" his proofs with amazing industry and care, studying them for hours, often for days, and sometimes for weeks proof after proof was passed through his hands until lie was satisfied. One is startled when it is considered what a life of industry this man of genius led a glance through Mr. Graves catalogue will convey some idea of the im- niensa amount of labour he must have got through, although his time on earth extended somewhat beyond the allotted three-score and ten; yet he was notoriously a man who enjoyed himself in life, and gave much leisure to the demands of society, to amusement -in a word, to pleasure. It is likely that some one will collect anecdotes of him they are abundant and not difficult to obtain. 1o almost every one of his work there is some piquant and pointed story attached; many others will be told when his pictnres are exhibited. The exhibition of Mr Graves i« a m.irv»llous monument to his memory which r." ^tone-wurk in the Cathedral of St. Paul can for a moment rival in deep and instructive interest- s-Art-Jourml for November, 1873.

OFFICERS' GRIEVANCES. At the meeting of the Royal Commission held on Monday at the War Office, to inquire into the alleged grievances caused by the abolition of purchase in the army, Major-General Sir Percy Herbert, C.B., M.P., accompcinied by Mr. Douglas Straight, hia legal adviser, applied or leave for reporters of the public press tp bo present during the proceedings. A long aiscTission ensued, and the Commission finally resolved that during the remainder of their sitting the proceed- ings should be conducted in private.
A ROMANTIC COUPLE.
A ROMANTIC COUPLE. In the Court of Queen's Bench, Westminster, on Monday, before Justices Blackburn, Quain, and Archibald, Mr. Herschell, Q.C., moved for a new trial in an action for breach of promise of marriage tried at the last Newcastle assizes before Mr. Justice Brett. The jury awarded plaintiff £500 damages, and the present motion was made on the ground that this sum was excessive. The plaintiff was about 45,'and the defendant 61 years of age, the former being the daughter of a Northumberland farmer, and the lattei a retired draper. The defendant was a widower, and his daughter and her husband formerly resided with him, but on their leaving him he made up his mind to marry again. Being introduced to the plaintiff he asked to be allowed to pay attention to her, and she gave her consent. The parties met eigh* times in the market place at Hexham, and the defen- dent then broke off the match in consequence of, as he alleged, circumstances beyond his control. It seemed that Mr. Justice Brett considered the damage. excessive, and the court now determined to consult the learned judge before granting a new trial.
RECEPTION OF THE LORD MAYOR…
RECEPTION OF THE LORD MAYOR OF LONDON BY THE LORD CHANCELLOR. On Monday Lord Chancellor Selborne, according to the usual annual custom, received the newly- elected Lord Mayor of London, Mr. Alderman Lusk, M.P., at his residence in Portland Place. The- Lord Mayor, attended by the Recorder, Sheriffs (Whe- tham and Johnson), and the officers of the Corpora- tion, arrived at half-past eleven, and were immediately ushered into the reception room, where they were re- ceived by the Lord Chancellor. The Recorder (the Right Honourable Russell Gurney) having suitably introduced the Lord Mayor, the Lord Chancellor, in reply, said he had great satisfaction in ex- pressing on the present occasion Her Majesty's gracious approval of the choice which the citizens of London had made of Mr. Alderman Lusk to be their Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. He was sure he should meet with the sympathy of those around him if he referred to the loss they had sustained in the death of two of their most eminent judges. One of them had long been known in the City of London for his skill and ability in the man- agement of commercial affairs, and known as well to all by the honour of his character and the great amiability of his disposition. The other was no less distinguished by the same personal good qualities, and whom he hoped to have seen for many years to come in the court over which he (the Lord Chancellor) presided. He was sure they would all join him in the hope that Her Majesty might be served in future by gentlemen not less aMe, not less upright, not less honourable in all the relations of life. Having thus referred to the deaths of Vice-Chancellor Wickens and Chief Justice Bovill, lie congratuiated the Recorder on his return from America, and ordered the Livery Cup to be brought, and, after it had been passed round, the irx., terview terminated. RECEPTION OF THE JUDGES. His Lordship subsequently received her Majesty's Judges and Queen's Counsel in accordance with the time honoured custom observed at the opening of term. Their lordships arrived in the following order :—The Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, the Master of the Rolls, Lord Justice Mellish, Mr. Baron Bramwell, Mr. Baron Pigott, Mr. Justice Blackburn, Mr. Justice Keating, Mr. Baron Cleasby, Mr. Justice Brett, Mr. Justice Quain, Mr. Justice Archibald, Mr. Baron Pollock, V ice-Chancellor Bacon, Mr. Justice Honyman, V ice-Chancellor Malins, Mr. Justice Mel! or. After the reception their lordships proceeded to I estminster in procession and in the order of seniority, when they formally opened their respective courts. On the way from Lord Selborne's residence, the carriage containg Mr. Justice Honyman and Mr. Yv atkjti'W illiams broke down, and the occupants were compelled to tfind refuge in an ordinary street cab.
DEATH OF LORD CHIEF JUSTICE…
DEATH OF LORD CHIEF JUSTICE BOVILL. We regret to learn that Lord Chief Justice Bovill died on Saturday morning, at the residence of Mr. J. | C. Sim, J.I' at Combe, Kingston-on-Thames, wher^ he had been staying for the last fortnight. The de- ceased judge (the Right Hon. Sir W. Bovine was the son of the late Benjamin iJovill, Esq., of Durnsford Lodge, Wimbledon, Sur- rey, and was born in 1814. He was called tto the Bar at the Middle Temple in 1841, v/as made a Q.C. and a bencher of his Inn in 1S55. He represented Guildford in the Conserva-tive inte- rest from March, 1857, till November, 1866, on his elevation to the Bench, having been Solicitor- General from July, when he was knighted, till Novem- ber. lSGrt. He succeeded Sir W. Erie as Lord Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, when he was sworn a member of the Privy CounciL On the assembling of the Court of Common Pleas on Monday, there was an extraordinary muster of members of the bar, in the expectation of some re- ference being made to the late Sir Wm.Bovill, Chief Justice of that Court. The Judges on the bench were Justices Keating, Brett, Grove, and Hony- man, all being in dark robes. Mr. Justice Keating said:—" In view of the "melan- clioly event which has deprived this court of its chief had we consulted merely our; own feelings we should have been disposed to adjourn the business; but we feel so persuaded that that course would be opposed to the wishes and feelings of the late Chief Justice, who would not have desired that the public business of the country should, under the circumstances, have been postponed for anything of the sort, that we have abandoned that idea, and propose to proceed with the business of the term." His lordship then proceeded to say, with deep emotion This court has sustained a very severe and serious loss—a loss that is deeply and acutely felt I by every member of it. He was an accomplished lawyer, and a distinguished judge. I believe that no man ever sat upon this or any other bench of justice who was more sincerely and ar- dently desirous of faithfully discharging the duty of his high office than Lord Chief Justice Bovill." The Solicitor-General (Mr. Henry James, Q.C.k uim, so considerate to everyone dependent upon him, and so openhanded ila his charitable dealings. If it were true that to live in the hearts of those we love is not to die," thfn Sir William Bovill had not yet passed from us for a generation would have to come and go before those who knew him ceased to mourn for him, and every member of the English bar have ceased to regard his name with respect and affection. The ordinary business of the court was then pro- ceeded with.

It is stated that the Inman Company intend having a. daily departure from each side of the ocean ferry in the ensuing year. A ship is already half built for them. which will be the next largest in the world to the Great Eastern. She will measure 516 feet in length, and will be called the City of Berlin. The suspension has been announced of Messrs. Stapley and Son, of Old Jewry-chambers, commis- sion merchants, a firm of about twenty years' stand- ing, owing to their being under acceptance to a large amount on account of a foreign correspondent em- barrassed by the depreciation of securities on the American market. Times. TRAGEDY AT MIDDLESBOROUGH.—On Sunday a murder was committed at Middlesborough, and the murderer made an attempc to commit suicide. A little before noon the neighbourhood of Newcastle-row, wich is inhabited chiefly by Irish, was thrown into a state of commotion by cries of Murder On going into the house of a person named Onions, an Irish labourer, a police inspector found a man named Wm. Christopher Brown, 22 years of age, who had a year ago married a daughter of Onions, lying on a bed with his throat cut. By the side of Brown lay his lifeless son, Thomas William, an infant four months old, with his throat cut from ear to ear. The man ascribes the cause of his crime to matrimonial disputes. On Saturday afternoon a fire broke out on the premises known as Peckham House, in High-street, Peckham. The building, which is a lunatic asylum for the reception of private patients, is of consider. able dimensions. The fire spread rapidly: but Dr. Stocker, who was somewhat injured about the face, succeeded in removing the patients, of whom there are three hundred in the asylum, tola place of safety, Several rooms were consumed. A Dublin correspondent says;— It is stated on the authority of a. letter received from Rome that Cardinal Cullen has been reprimanded by the Pope on account of an article which appeared in his Dublift official organ, the Evening Post, denying that the cor* respondenc betwsean the Emperor of Germany and the POpi was genuine. The article said that at first sight of the correspondence it might seem an impu- dent ridiculous invention of the Aenemies of the Yatican.-Dundee Advertiser. Mr. John Albert Bright, son of the member for Birmingham, has been nominated as a candidate for the Rochdale School Board. He says he is op- posed to the payment of rates^to denominational schools, and in favour of compulsory education and of the en- forced appointment in every district of a school board on educational authority, whose duty should be to see that all the children in that diatriot recgiye ft suffi« dent education.
AN INTERVIEW WITH MACMAaON.
AN INTERVIEW WITH MACMAaON. A correspondent of the Pvftrvpon. the siibstance of an interview with Marshal MacMahon, in which the President said that his tastes as well as his interests counselled him to abandon the Presidency, but he recognised that his honour would not permit him to abandon the ship at the mo- ment of wreck. If I have stin a majority," he said, "the partial elections will, little by little, cause me to fall into a minority; the dissolution will finally arrive, and, instead Of resign- ing the Presidency with dignity, I shall be dismissed like M. Thiers. But if all other combinations are impossible, if the majority passes a vote of confidence m my Government, if it makes a new appeal to my devotion, my duty will compel me to remain at the post to which I was called by the voices of the Conservatives." The MarshaUin con- clusion, said that he had not made an omcialaeelara- tion of his intentions in order not to interfere with the projects of the restoration. L.-
AN AMERICAN VIEW OF BAZAINE.
AN AMERICAN VIEW OF BAZAINE. The New York Times, referring tp the trialofMlmh Bazaine, says :—He was another Leonidas, commis- sioned to guard the Thermopylee of his country, a*d he had more than a handful of soldiers with which to maintain the fortunes of France. The fttiiure of the army is largely to be ascribed to the man who wasted his forces without rvsulk, and ultimately delivered them into the hands of the enemy by a capitulation unparalleled in history. Whatever may be proved far or against Bauaiiw, there are plausible reasons to justify the presumption of his having been guilty of political intrigue, and oonse- quently of serious shortcomings in the discharge of his dutv. He hari more ambition than honesty. Thra evidence in the case of Marshal Bazaise will shew whether he was faithful to his oath. If he broke it, if he involved his country in shame and humiliation when he maght have worked its salvation, he must expect severe punishment. There is no reason why the most grievous of offences should not be avenred by the highest penalty of the law. ——
THE GALE OF AUGUST. SIX HUNDRED…
THE GALE OF AUGUST. SIX HUNDRED LIVES AND 1,122 VHSSBLS LOST. Washinutox. Oct. 13.—A report at the movements of and damage done by the great storm ef August 24, 1873, has been prepared at the Signal Office in this city, from data carefully oollected from trust- worthy sources, which will be jgiven in full to the public in a few days. The losses caused by this terrible storm are summed up thus: One thousand and thirty-two vessels, of which 435 were small fishing schodnem, are known to have been destroyed during the 24th and 2oth of August in the neighbourhood tot the Gulf of 8t. Lwrence and the Atlantic shorei of Nova Scotii, Cape Breton, and Newfoundland. In addition to this large number, over ninf/ty vessels were destroyed by the same 'storm in its course before reaching Nova Scotia, making a grand total of at least 1,122 vesseis destroyed within a few days. Two hundred and twenty-three lives are definitely reported as lost, ami the most moderate estimate of the numerous cases in which whole crews are sfckted to have been lost, swells this number to nearly 500 while, if to this be added Ijhe loss of life on huud and in the earlier his- tory of the cyclone, the grand total amounts to at least 600 lives. The records also1 shew that about 900 building were injured or totally destroyed in the same dates hi this storm. The fishinginterests of the United States and Canada h»ve beegu seriously crippled by these losses, which have fallen with especial severity upon Gloucester and other New England towns.

Mr. Marsh was educated in the College for Blind Sons of Gentlemen, Worcester, and was a fellow-student of the Rev. N. F. M'Neile, also blind. Mr. Curwen has just published a pamphlet of some eighty pages in which he reviews the whole con- troversy between the Tonic Sol-fa College and the Education Departsuenl? on the alleged unfairness shewn by Mr. Hullah, the Government inspector of music, in his examination of Tonic Sol-fa pupils at the train- ing colleges. A movement is on foot to promote the erec- tion of a monument to Oliver Goldsmith. ShouM not public feeling be, tmniciently roused in the meantime, it is proposed to bold a commemoration at the Crystal Palace on the centenary of Goldsmith's death, April 4 of the coming year, and to devote the profits to a fund out of -which the cost of the statue may be pro- vided. Technical Education.—On Tuesday a. depu- tation f fom the Trades Guild of Learning were intro- duced 'by Sir John Bennett and Alderman M'Arthur to th e Lord Mayor at the Mansion House, London, with, a view of obtaining assistance from the City com- pares in favour of technical education. T"he Guild proposed to reach the working men through tfceir various tirade organisations, which was considered by the members of the Guild far preferable to the giving of lectures and -he formation of scientific institutions, as the greatest^ ditficulv exhtad ia getting tlfe work- niep to attend t.V>se places and lectures vben they w're formed. The Lord Mayor said iM-regretted to"say that very lii>tU had bym done since their meet- ing- in February i\st, and he hoped what would be done on that occ.\gioh was that some plans sh»«ld be agreed upon whiolA might be submitted te the City companies, and theiPl those companies mwht say aye or no whether they 1tOaki, further assist in promoting technical education iamengst the apprentices. He thought that if £ .10,000 could be obtained, from thtf^arious caprp«niar-& col- lege might be erected on the vacant gjrtond in the city near the Holborn Viafluct-in which co}1. be delivered to the young workmen, which he felt, would be attended with the mart beneficial results. Various classes on scientific subjects could Deformed, and, amongst other things,trade prizes might be pvwn in elementary school, and by such a eoune that Which they desired, viz., a further development education, would be attained Mr. BaiTy sug- gested that communication 0honld first be held with the City companies, in order to ascertain the amount they would give towards scientific education jw01"* any actual plan was decided onv After a lengthened discussion, the proposal of the Lord Major w. adop- ted, and a committee formed to ascertain the feeling of the City companies on the subject. Scotch Prkaoh*rs.—The first of these caiea was an objection to the 'settlement if the Aev. W. Mackersy as minister Qf 4 parish ciafled Chapel of Garioch, in the north of Scotland. The grounds of the objeotion were that Mr. Mtokersr a preaching and exposition of Scripture wero "cold, dry, shal- low, and not well calculated to arouse the attention:" and further, that they were "lifeless, almost desti- tute of the doctrine of the Gospel, and unin- telligible to a large extent." Witnesses were called in support of these charges. Thepansk schoolmaster, Mr. Selbie, led the way. "here wfcs, he said, nothing in Mr. Mackersy's manner to arrest and fix the eye by a fine, earnest, holv, demeanor," "nothing, as it w$re, to build up in the mind a holy frame." What Mt. Selbie wanted, it appeared, was "burninz zeal," and warmth from the eye, theface, and, above all, from the intonation of the voice. You know, he remarked, what a sleepy preacher does to a sleepy Cpngregation; upon which stone one suggested that Dr. Kidd threw a book at them." The presentee was also said to be undignified in bearing, expression, and carriage—" a good old Saxon word,' added the schoolmaster, "for behavlouf." The next witness objected to the presentee's hands, which he thought were very much in the way. At one time they were in his pocket; then he was keeping the line of the sermon with his finger; and, again, he was ficherin' ficherin', the same as if there had been something annoying him." A farmer thought he was a cauld, dry, sleepy but he may have judged by his own difficulty in keep- ing awake. Another farmer wanted more forcy preaching, while a third could J10' endure the presenters silver-grey sort of i eyelashes. A wit- ness said he did not observe anything objectionable in presentee's use of body, handa, and eyes," but he did hot 6niah his sermons properly. Ue pro- posed several courses, but never followed them, say- ing he hadn't time or couldn't dwell on them. It was also objected to the presentee that there was no love looming from his eye, and that, in preaching, he did not shew "any sympathy rn the concern." The presentee preached a sermop about JNaaman the Syrian, but » farmer aaid he saw little meaning in it; it was just » about wash and be clean." In support of the charge of unintelligibility, it was urged that the presentee used such puzzling expressions as a series of unhappy coincidences and a concourse of circumstances." If it is true, as alleged, that «uch expressions are utterly unintelligible to the ordinary hearer in that region, there must surely be something the matter with the parish school, and the presentee might have retorted upon Mr. Selbie, that it was the school- master's fault if the people could not understand him when he spoke English. One of the most fre- quent objections to the presentee wti thM he w&3 not live and it was asked whether he was ex- pected tp jc '.p to th* pdplt.Stfur&Ql ifewtO.

MR. GLADSTONE ON ELECTORAL REFORM. JUr. Gladstone has sent the following letter in reply p an address from the Liverpool Working Men's liberal Association :—" 10, Downing-street, White- tall, October 23, 1873. Sir,—Mr. Gladstone dfesires he to acknowledge the receipt of your letter'of the J5th inst., written on behalf of the Working Men's liberal Association. In reply I am directed to inform 'ou that Mr. Gladstone is not able, at this time, to jtate what questions will be prepared by her Majesty's Government for submission to Parliament during ttie Pining session. But I am to point out to you Ihat Mr. Gladstone, with several of his colleagues, nas hitherto voted for relieving the candidates from Sectoral charges; and to remind you. with reference |o that part of your letter which alluaes to the prac- Sce of raising frivolous objections, that her Majesty's government introduced last session, and carried hrough the House of Commons, a bill for preventing uch objections; but that bill was unfortunately hrown out by the House of Lords.—I am, Sir, your obedient servant, J.

THE DISCOVERER OF THE NORTH-WEST…
THE DISCOVERER OF THE NORTH- WEST PASSAGE. Lady Franklin writes, "under great physical weak- Jess, and only from the strong pressure of duty," the cllowing letter to the editor of tfte Timet:— Sir, -Now that the grave has closed over'the re- tiains of the great Arctic navigator, Sir Robert Vl'Clure, it is time to dissipate the confusjon which eems still to exist in some quarters alii to his claim to )e considered the discoverer of the North-WOK fas- age, set forth specially in your Naval In%lli<fence solumns of October 22 and 24. I beg of you, %hqf*- tore, the favour to permit me, on behalf of the expidi- ion under command of my husband, to stats a#*in the »roven facts of its incontrovertibly prior (Maim to liat distinction. No one can dispute the great q*aHtiea >f Sir Robert M'Clure as a navigator of the highest drill and daring. The perilous yoyage of the Inves- igator, which closeA^t the Bay of Mercy, midday between the Pacific Od Atlantic, has Won for him a yorld-wide reputation. But unfortunately it was pre- maturely assumed on his return to England in 185#, .fter his rescue by the Resolute, that to him belonged dso the honour of being the first to solve lie problem of the North-West Passage; and, is we all remember, (rewards were IJhoweltd 4-11 ûm in due and fitting acknowledgment. But it was elt'and urged by many, Jincluding my friend Sir Roderick Murchison, that future search for Fracklin night reveal a priority of claim which could not be lisregarded. Accordingly, on the return of Sir Leopold M'Clintock in the Fox (September, 1859) *e earned by means of the official record whion he r#co- 'ered, that in following the course laid down tp kis nstructions, Franklin's vessels, after effecting ex- ensive explorations within the Arctic circle, had ictually found the water way between the two grea4 iceans precisely where it had been anticipated, «k1 hat this discovery was made at least two years and a lalf earlier than that of Sir Robert M'Clure in another piarter. The expedition had perished, indeed, ror ack of the means of rescue, but it was none the .18 an act of justice to these martyrs to duty that heir names should stand for ever fin the hiafcbry of heir country linked with the proud distinction of weing the discoverers of the North-Wettt Pawage. Accordingly, their claim was prominently aeknOiv- ,dged and set forth by the Royal Geographical 3&- Ilety, and by the leading Arctic authorities, who ill4- riduallv felt, as I am aware, that justiee to the 4^ad Villi all the more due to their memoriae on a6- fount of the premature decision in favour of another. Dur deep obligations to Sir Leopold M'Clinotck and lis officers are thus due, not only for having asgat- lained the fate of my husband and his; party, but br having also secured to them the distinction which hey died in winning. I have in my possession from She above higri authorities (including Murohison. Beaufort, Richardson, the late venerable President >f the Geographical Society of Pasis. all now deceased^ lumerous letters and documents, *nich have not ytt keen made public, testifying to this result with thi nost absolute precision. Not tlw lent valuable one s a letter from Sir James Ross, who had been pronji- lent in honouring Sir Robert M^Clure'B achievements. $ut who, after the return of the Fox, spoontafcedusly tommunicated to me with noble and touching qan- lour, and in the most unequivocal terms, thS* ihe record brought by the Fox proved that the honour >f the great discovery belonged to my busban<fi Expedition, and to it alone. Far be It from 198 bt inything I am now saying to detract from the ctainifl >f Sir Robert M'Clure or his widow upon tne gr*ti- ,ude of his country. It would pain me, indeed, if :hat which I have been compelled to #ay in fidelity K) the memory ofmy husband should seeth tb withdraw from the interest excited for the procuring \n adequate provision for her comfort. It is my <arnest hope that the Admiralty may fij»d it po«- dble to make her an exceptional grant of a pension; but if this cannot bo. who ill there ;hat dares not hope that our beneficent Queen, vho has the glory of her country and the welfare of her subjects at her inmost heart, may not think It to place her on the list of those who aje distin- guished by their eminence or their belongings ? I lave, trespassed, Sir, thus upon your indulgence, because if in the columns oi the Times a statement foes forth to the extremities of the globe it becomes a batter of almost unquestioned history and it ii ►nly through the same medium that the correction, f required, can be equally transmitted.I am, Sir, our obedient servant, JANE FRANKLIN. The Rev. Henry Willingham Gell. grandson of the Ate Sir John Franklin, and Vicar of St. Joh*\ Not- :ing-hill, also writes to protest against tile aasump- ion which would rob him of that inheritap«e ai which ais family ia so justly proud—the inheritance of )eing one of the nearest descendants of the real dis1 aoverer of the North-West Passage." Sir John Franklin's claims to pre-eminence in the disooverf, Ae observes, are admitted and confirmed, ajft afaefuiy sngraved on marble in other places and in otfrer cotfti4 tries besides this great city (London), where in hi# konour the statue was erected in Waterloo-pis** b* the unanimous vote of Parliament.
