The Herald of tnia morning has the following :—In our extra of yesterday evening we informed thy public that a rumor was current in town that the remains of fir Jobn Frapklin, and of his crew and their ships, nad been Gitcovered. We immediately despatched « spocial mersenger to the Hudson Bay Company’s house at Lachine, and through the kindness of the Governor, Sir George Simpson, are enabled to lay before our readers the following outlines of a despatch received by him yes- terday from Dr Pae~ Dr. Rae bas been ab.ent on the coast since the first of the month ef June, 1853, and returned to York Fac- tory on the 28th of August last, from whence he forward- ed letters by express to Sir George Starpson, via the Red river settlement. After briefly noticing the resalt of his own expedition, and the difficulties with which they had to contend, he proceeds to state that from Esquimaux he had obtained certain information of the fate of Sir John Franklin’s ex- Pedition, who had been starved to death after the lons of their ships, which were crushed in the ice, and while making thelr way south to the Great Fish river of Buck, near the outlet of which a party of whites died, leaving accounts of their sufferings on the mutilated corpses of some which had evidently furnished food to their un- fortunate companions. ‘Uhis information, although not derived from the Es- quimaux who had communicated with the whites, and who found their remains, but from another band, who obtained the details viva voce, may yet be relied No doubt is left of the truth of the report, as the natives had in their possession various arti- les of European manufacture which had been in posession of the whites. Among these are silver spoons, forks, &e ,on one of which is engraved ‘Sir John Frank- ln, K. C. B.,”” while the others have crests and initials on them which identify the owners as having belonged to the il-fated expedition. Drawings of come of these have been sent down. ‘This fearful tragedy niust have occurred as long ago as the apring of 1850. ‘The foregoing embraces all the particulars as yet known MEMBEKS OF iBE MONTE ORI-TO AsSOCIA- juested to meet at the Ardour Seloon 332 junday, 22d, at 7 o’etvek, ® M.

I shall neither seek nor avoid the nomination, —shall not ask one mah’s good will or service, or submit to one cent texation If conferred it must be a free, unsought, unbought offering. It must be made to me asa lout for nesrly twenty years in the distrist, who hes dis- charged faithfully some public trusts, and not with re- ference to my conneetion with and supposed influence in the Courier and Enquirer. As timen go it is quite improbable that the nomination will reach me, but as it has been talked about, it is right that I sbotid say in reference to the political conduct of the paper, that in no event do I desire that any regard for me or for my supposed interests, should induce you, during the canvess, to say or refrain from saying one syllable which you would otherwise suppress or utter. Should I be elected there will be more than a year af- forded in which to advise as to the course then proper to be pursued. Iam aware that your own opinion has al- ways been very desided that one sustaining a relation to any newspaper like mine to the Courier and Enquirer, should not beocme a candidate for such an office, and in that opinion I conear; but you will agree with me that, in the atsence of General Webb sl |, final action upon this poiat is not now practicable. I pu€ this in writing, because tho track of polities is so often slippery that I it should be “sanded” ay 7 lmove. ‘Faithfally yours, G. H. ANDREWS. FLORIDA ELECTION. OUR KEY WEST CORRESPONDENCE.
