Records of Lady Franklin’s Search Ex- pedition Returned to England. (From the Liverpool Post, Nov. 5.) Captain Kilgour, of the whaler Polynia, which arrived at Duudee on Sunday night, brings a number of relics of Arctic exploration. When a portion of the crew were on shore at Batty Bay, on the 29th of July, in search of a suit- able watering piace. they discovered acairn ona low point on the north side of the bay. Judging it had been erected by some party belonging to one of the various expeditions sent in search ot Sir John Franklin they pulled it down, and in the interior of it found a tin can- ister, about twelve inches in length and four in diameter, the lia being soldered on. Captain Kilgour opened the canister, and it was found to contain records deposited on the 6th of August, 1852, by Captain William Kennedy, of the Prince Albert, Lady Frankiin’s vessel. In the course o! the day a sledge, a stove, two ice knives, and various other articies were picked up on the south side of the bay, where it appeared Captain Kennedy’s party had encamped. The records disclosed the tact that Captain Ken- nedy went into winter quarters in Batty Bay in the autumn Of 1861, and it was not until the 6th of August, 1852, that the ice broke up and liberated | his veasel, It ts obvious that Batty Bay vad not been visited since 1852, The records are in an ex- cellent state of preservation. This season many of the whaling vessels visited Bellot Strait, the utmost extremity reached by sir Leopoid McClintock with the Fox in 1858-59. The whaling fleet experienced severe weather in Cresswell Bay, almost ail the crews baving to abandon the ship and take to their boats lor preg the Arctic and Tay, both Dundee ships, be- ing lost. \ The Delay of His Execution—Q; \ in the Texas Penitentiary.

The Reported Proposed Reorganization. A STIR IN OFFICIAL CIRCLES. | Wasaineton, Nov. 18, 1874. My special despatch to you on Monday evening to the effect that President Grant had sent a cable message to the Hon. Elihu Wash- burne, United States Minister to France, sum- moning him to Washington on important busi- ness, has caused quite a sensation in official ' circles here. My information emanated from such high authority as to leave scarcely a doubt as to its reliability, and the inquiries I have since made tend to confirm it in every particular. THE OBJECT OF THE SUMMONS. If there is little doubt as to the fact that the President has summoned Mr. Washburne home for consultation, it is equally certain that the subject matter of the consultation is a reorganization of the Cabinet. The Presi- dent has resolved to make a change, and he believes that no one is more competent to give him good, sound advice about such a matter than our popular representative at the seat of the French government. MR, FISH READY TO RESIGN. Mr. Fish, it is said, is not only willing but even anxious to resign, For six years he has been at the head of the State Department, and during that period he considers he has earned enough of honor and glory for the rest of his life. It is said he has informed the President since the elections that he is anxious to retire, and that the President, while expressing regret at this, the third offer of Mr. Fish to withdraw from public life, has nevertheless informed his Secretary of State that it will be accepted. ALL THE REST MUST RETIRE ALSO. This move on the part of Mr. Fish will, in all probability, end in a tender of resignation from every member of the Cabinet, Of course the President's staff of ministerial clerks pretend not to believe in the rumored recall of Mr. Washburne. They pooh-pooh the idea of a change in the Cabinet, and en- deavor to keep up their courage by trying to whistle down the unpleasant rumors. But it is quite clear they entertain apprehensions, and I do not think any one of them would be much surprised at a sudden invitation to retire. “LOUISIANA, — Alleged Preparations for a Siege at the State House—Secreting Cases of Win- chester Rifies—Kellogg Desires a Con- gressional Investigation—General Mor- row’s Report on Merrili’s Cavalry.

GENERAL MORROW'S REPORT, General Morrow, who was sent intu Northwest- erp Louisiana to investigate and report upon the operations Ol army officers under Merrill, returned yesterday, J learn he uas placed Lieatenant Hodg- ¥ins (who disregarded the order of the Court in @ | habeas corpus case concerning the Lincoln parish ped and sent an insulting message to Judge rimbie) under arrest, and prelerred charges @gainst him at the War Department for cutting | telegrapa wires, insulting und intimidating citi- zens and for unofficerlike conduct generally, The Lieutenant, tt seems, was led into trouble by Packard’s Deputy Marshal, Selye, who was sup- plied with blank warrants by United States Com- missioner Jewett, and raided over the county | with Hodgkins’ cavairy, arresting everybody he could put hands on, ft ts understood in army circles that General Morrow’s report represents also some of Merrili’s oMcers, as being more out- Tageous than was stated by the most rabid demo- cratic papers, and taat there was not a shadow of necessity for placing @ single federal soidier in that section of the country. ALLEGED LEGAL TRICKERY, It also appears that after Marshal Selye had been Placed under bonds to answer for cutting tne tele- graph wires, and before a warrant could be ob- tained for his rearrest on another charge, his counsel suddenly sarprised the Court by drawin; out & Commission showing himself (the counsel! to be a marshal, and at once arrested Selye on a bogus charge of embezziement, The “smart” counsel then took him from the custody of the Court on this trumped up charge and brought bim here, where he 1s now at liberty, Army officers say that if General Morrow makes & written report ol his investigations in Merri district it will develop some startling outrages by | the marshals that Congress must certainly reouke, Charge Against a Supervisor of Regis- tration—A Railroad Sold by = United States Marshal—A Judgment Against the City of New Orleans.

AMUSEMENTS. Italian Opera—“Martha.” Flotow’s opera, a tunetul, popular work, which has since its first representation, just twenty- seven years ago, at Vienna, held a prominent place in the public mind, was given last evening at the Academy of Music, with the following cas Lady Henrietta, Mule. Albant; Nancy, Misa Cary; Lionel, Signor Bentratelll; Plunkett, Signor Del Puente. Mile. Albant made a great hitin the in- terpolated aria ‘The Last Rose of Summer,’’ and her rendering of the music of the title rdle was characterized throughout by the intelligence, thoroughness and care that mark a greatartiste, The Nancy of Miss Cury 13 one of her most charming impersonations, and last evening it was us enjoyable as ever. The tenor failed to present even a tolerable portraiture of the rdle of jonel, and the baritone was not successful as Plunkett. The music of the opera, melodious and seductive though it may appear to the average. opera goer, is too light and superficial for the cultured musictan, Such lyric pabulum will hardly suit the tastes of an audience accustomed to Meyerbeer, Verdi and Waguer. ‘The attendance was small and the appreciation of Flotow’s work of @ lise standard. = ‘Martha’? should be consigned to the list of parlor operas, which of late years has been greatly increased. They should be banished from the stage of grand opera. One act of “AYda,” “Gli Ugonotti,’” “Lohengrin,” “La Stella del Nord,” “William Tell” or “The Flying Dutchman” is worth a dozen “Marthas!! in a musical point of view.

General Francisco de Sales Lersundi y Ormae- chea, formerly Captain General of Cuba, whose deatn 1s just announced by cable, was born in the province of Guipuzooa, on the northern frontier of Spain, January 28, 1817. His father was Military Governor of Fuenterabia, Young Lersundi with his brothers was sent to college under the tuition of the renowned Mifiano at Pasajes, but when the war broke out in 1833 he was obliged to go to Bayonne, Where he continued his studies until 1835, About vhat time Lersundi abandoned his father’s uouse to enlist inthe corps of volunteers organized by General Gaspar de Jauregui under the name of the Chapelgorri. When Espartero formed the regiment called Cazadores de Luchana and which was to act as his own body guard, | Lersundt joined tt with the rank of lteuten- ant and won his captaincy at La Brdjola, Labroza and Peilucerrada in 1837, The following year, at Ramales and Guardamino, he rose to the rank of major in the Fourth regi- ment Of the line (La Princesa), then under the command of General Manuél de la Concha, At Olmediilo, in 1840, he tought under Concha against Balmaseda, and in October, 1841, rose to the grade of lieutenant colonel, and was in command of the Princesa regiment when it revolted against Es- partero, then Regent of Spain. The head of this insurrection, General Diego de Leon, was captured and shot, while all the other oficers wh» bad taken part in the revolt were forced to go abroad. In Joly, 1843, he returned to Spain, and received the coloneicy of the Fourteento regiment (de America). The brilliant part which this regiment took in the suppression of the Galician rebellion in 1846 won for Lersundi the rank of brigadier, and the Four- teenth Was made part of the garrison at Madrid, ‘Un the 7th of March, 1848, he succeeded in putting down the revolution that broke out in the capital, and was rewarded with the titie of Marshal. The next ae he was Madrid, and in 1851 Count de Mirasol, and received the rank of lieu- venant general. In 1858 he was President of the Council of Ministers. He shortiy aiterward gave up the Presidency of the Council to the Count de San Luis, WhO was forced to quit the Cabinet by the revolution of July, 1854, to be succeeded by Vicalvaro.

He resigued in July, 1858, with Narvaez. In the beginning of 1864 he again returned to the Cabinet as Minister of War, but in October he took the command-in-chiei of the iniantry. In vhe be- ginning of 1866 he was appointed Vaptain General of Cuva, in which post he remained but four months, being relieved at ms own request. He was succeeded by the late General Manzano y¥ Manzano. After his return to Spain General Ler gundi remained in comparative quiet, taking no commanding part in any of the important events which have occurred since the expulsion of beila IL, and his death was even confounded with §uat of the more active Laserna, White colonel of Sppoieet Civil Governor of | mister of War in piace of | ~ | his scientific brary an the Fourteentn regiment and stationed at Val- ladolid, im Spain, he married the daughter of a veteran, Don Felix Blanco y Victoria, aud had @ large and interesting family. Death of Joseph Stuart, Banker. Mr. Joseph Stuart, the well-known banker and head of the firm of J. & J. Stuart & Co., on Nassau street, died at his private residence, No. 11 Kast Thirty-sixth street, at ten o'clock last night. There have been but few men whose success in business has been so marked as his or whose character has been so spotless and so far above reproach. He was born in county Down, Ireland, in 1803, and hence at the time of bis demise was about Seventy-one years of age. During his earlier years he received as good an education as the country could afford, and while quite a young man came to this country and made his home in Philadelphia. It was there, in the year 1826, that he founded the dry goods house of Stuart & Bros,, which 1s still in existence under the original name, and whicb is now the oldest and best known establishment of its kind in tne Quaker City. In this enterprise he was assisted by his two brothers, John aud David Stuart, the Jormer at present the head of the house of John Stuart & Co., in Manchester, and the latter the head of the nouse of David Stuart & Co., in Liver- pool, Suosequently the other brothers, James and tue well known George H, Stuart, of Philadel- phia, became connected with the firm In the year 1833 Joseph Stuart, the subject ol iuis sketch, left Putladelpuia, came to New York and established the firm o1 J. and J, Stuart & Co. ‘this firm eontinued the dry goods trade until about the year 1856, when they aban- doned tt altogether ard instituted a banking house at No, 33 Nassau street, Under the keen, dis- crimiaating judgment aad the able and energetic Management of the deceased the house rapidly extended its business, until a few years later @ branch house was established at Manchester, Eng- land, which still exists tn @ highly prosper- ous and flourishing condition. After forsak- Ing tne dry goods trade Mr. Joseph Stuart devoted his eutire time and energy to the promotion and development of the American ana European houses, spending a part Oo hig time each year in New York and the re- maining part in Manchester. His last journey abroad was concluded in October, but at the tune of nis arrival here be had no suspicion whatever of the melancholy incidents which were 80 goon to mark the closing hours of nis itic, On the contrary his journey seemed to have done him a great deal Oi good, and his ocean voyage appeared to have inay ined. him with new courage and “energy to still turther expand the popularity and strength of bis two estaolishments. About two weeks ago Mr. Stuart contractea @ heavy cold, which for several duys confined him to his house, but which finally relaxed to the extent necessary to enable him to resume the duues of his office. On Tuesday last, at put twelve o’ciock, while Mr. Stuart was sitting in hig counting room, he was suddenly taken with an apo- plectic Ot, which in an tnstant prostrated him and rendered it impossible tor him to either move or Speak, He was at once conveyed to his residence up town; bat, alter sustaining this skock, up to the moment of his death be never uttered a syliabie or made the slighvest recognition of avy of the numerous friends who clustered around his bed- side.
