PREPARING FOR THE GREAT FUNERAL—MUR- MURS OF THE FANATICAL BIOTERS—PRE- LIMINARY GROWLS—THE PRINCE OF. WALES’ REGIMENT GETTING READY FOR THE MOVE- MENT—SIZE OF THE SARCOPHAGUS, Mowrnat, Oct, 20, 1875, The excitement in the Guibord matter is commencing to reawaken, and increases day by day as the time draws near for the burial, the precise date of which is, however, still unknown, though some time at the end of next week will probably decide it, The huge sarcophagus, which bas been in course of construction in the marble works of Mr. Robert Read, sculptor and marble worker, has been for some time the centre of attraction, and so curious have been the Populace as to the work going on that the workmen have been impeded to a most annoying extent by epithets and other often more forcible interruptions put upon them. This sarcophagus weighs twelve tons, and is designed to prevent the body from being removed by force. Of course the body will be buried, even if the police and military have to wade through streams of blood, but once buried and in the possession of the clergy the fear is that the latter will wink at the mob, who intend to exhume the body and burn it to ashes. RVIDENCE OF OPPOSITION. ‘The majority of those who interfered with the work of the masons were principally from the ranks of those who took part in the disgraceful scenes of September 2, ‘The sarcophagus is composed of two enormous blocks of lime stone, in each of which has been cut & hollow shaped cavity. How the apparatus will be conveyed to the cemetery is a matter of conjecture. It is feared there will be blood shed it its transporta- tion to the cemetery is attempted. An evidence of this feeling is the fact that the heavy stone used for making the floors for the new City Hall was mis- taken for ‘the sarcophagus in passing through the French quarter of the city, and, not- withstanding that the drivers in charge were French Canadians and Catholics, the mfuriated mob attacked them and drove them away, stoning them down the street, and it was several hours before they could be made to believe their mistaké. This may serve to show what may be expected when the real sarcophagus makes its appearance. MEASURES OF SECURITY. The means adopted by the mstitate for the security of the much disputed remains are certainly effective enough in appearance, No unorganized power could drag, except by violent measures skilfully carried out, the remains from the stone coffin which has been repared, and if once the interment is carried out i remains to be seen whether the fabrique will permit the employment of the sarcophagus or the erection of, the appliances necessary to its adjustment in the grave, Opposition to the inhumation in the Cote des Neiges Cemetery of the remains must for all practicable pur- poses of the encmies of the institute, who are in favor of high-handed measures, close, for the stone will be harder to roll away than the bearse was on the 2d of September last. THE GUARD FOR GUIBORD. The men of the Prince of Wales’ Rifles have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness for Friday night, and imperative instructions have been issuod that évery man be present. The object of this sudden call is not fully Known, but itis generally surmised that it has connection with the Guibord burial. GOVERNOR HAWLEY IN GEORGIA. Macon, Ga., Oct. 20, 1875. Governor Hawley, President of the United States Centennial Commission, delivered a spirited and pa- triotic address to the,citizens of Georgia in the State Fair Grounds.

MEETING OF THE SYNOD OF NEW YORK—ACTION IN BEFERENCE TO THE LEGISLATION AS TO THE GREY NUNS’ SCHOOLS, Povcuxerrsm, Oct, 20, 1875. The first regular business of the Presbyterian Synod of New York was opened at the Prosbyterian church in this city at nine o'clock this morning, having been pre- luded by devotional exercises of half an hour’s duration, Atroll call many new names were added to the list of delegates, A letter was read from the Synod of Albany in refer- ence to an act passed by the last Legislature “author- izing the Sisterhood of Grey Nuns to confer diplomas upon the graduates of their Seminary, entitling them to a certificate from the Superimtondent of Public Instruc- tion to constitute them qualified teachers in the common schools of the State; and most earnestly deprecate and respectfully protest against such action of the Legista- ture; that the next Legislature be respectfully requested. to reconsider and rescind the aforesaid enactment as an act of justice to the people of this State.” ‘A committee was appointed to consider this, who ro- rted in favor of the .rosolutions, whereupon the fol- jowing committee was appointed from this Synod to appear before the next Legislature :—S8. I. Prime, D. D. editor of the New York Observer; William Howard |, Crosby, D. D., of New York; William K. Hall, of New- burg; Hon. G. W. Lane, of New York, and Edward Wells, of Peekskill. . The feeling in the matter is very strong and members are bold and outspoken in their opinions. It was decided to hold the next annual session at Sing Sing. THE UNIVERSALISTS' CONVENTION. Lynx, Mass., Oct, 20, 1875. The Universalists’ General Convention of the United States opened here this morning. It is composed of delegates, lay and clerical, from the State conventions, alarge number of whom were present, Among the distinguished delegates were ex-Governor Washburn, | Rev, 8. W. H. Ryder and J. W. Hanson, of Chicago; | Rev. George Moses, of Canada; ex-Governor Perham, of Maine; Rev. D. L.'Holden, of New Jersey, and Henry FE. Bush, of Pennsylvania, Ex-Governor Perham was elected President; Rev, Mr. Dodge, of Connecticut, Vice President, and Rev, W. W. Hooper, of New York, and 8. A. Briggs, of Chicago, as- sistant secretaries of the Convention, Treasurer Holden’s report states that the receipts during the year amounted to $33,693 52 and the dis- bursements to $25,674 25, The indebtedness of the Convention on October 1, 1875, was $20,500. The subject of the reduction of debt requires earnest consideration. The report of the trustees states that Aity-oight scholarships were in force during the year, and the amount paid on that account was $8,160. The trustees endeavored to raise funds to establish a memorial church at Washington; but $6,000 only was subscribed, and the trustees were convinced” that further prosecution of the work would be futile. No important change in the educational insti- tations have occurred during the year. The denomina- tional investment in oducational institutions exceed $3,000,000, and yet not one of them has felt that its usefulness was curtailed from lack of means, The general state of the Church and mission work was progressing, and the signs seem favorable to fur- ther progress. The Convention adjonrned at noon, and in the after- noon a sermon was delivered by Rev. 8, H. McCollister, of Butchell College, Mlinois. THE REY. GEORGE F, PENTECOST. Bostox, Oct. 20, 1875.

Secretary Chandler received largo | number of calls from persons of more or less prom- inence, who came to pay visits of ceremony or tender their personal congratulations, Among the first callers was Colonel John S. Mosby, of Virginia. It seems to | be generally understood that Assistant Secretary Cowan will retain his present position, ‘The Secretary said to- day that when he left Michigan for Washington ho had ho more idea of being invited toa seat in tho Cabinet | than of going tp heaven, Elijah like, ina chariot of fire, | and that, consequently, he would return home during the latter part of this week, to arrange his business and | bring on his family, He will return ina week or ten days and occupy his former residence.

EXPLORATION. Views of Dr. Hayes on the Results of the Pandora’s Voyage. FRANKLIN’S SAD FATE. The Theory of the Existence of an Open Polar Sea. PROSPECTS OF THE ENGLISH EXPEDITION. New Yor, Oct. 19, 1975, To Tue Eprror or Tam Hunanp:— Thave read with much interest the lengthy special telegram you published on Sunday last announcing the safe arrival in England of the Pandora; and I would take leave to congratulate you for this new evidence of Journalistic enterprise on the part of the Hnauy, I find, indeed, so much gratification in the news that I feel disposed to write a few observations touching this subject, in which you have always manifested so great an interest. Ido this partly because I would correct a slight error in the transmission of the telegram which | | connection with the English expedition to the North Pole under Captain Nares, ‘The Pandora has made a very gallant dash into the one of the bold attempts of Baffin, Ross and Inglefield. To be sure, the Northwest passage was not accom- plished, but the Pandora came about as near to it as any expedition, save that of Sir John Franklin with That this should have been done inside of four months without serious accident, is certainly creditable to Captain Young and his associates, as it is to the'great journal which took so Jarge a sharo in the bold enterprise. MELVILLE BAY. Up to the time of reaching Melville Bay all seems to have been plain sailing with the Pandora, Melville Bay is the great terror of Arctic navigators, The winds, currents and the enormous discharge of icebergs from the Greenland glaciers block it up to such an ex- tent that navigation is always dangerous and some- times impossible. The bay in itself is but a broad curve of the Greenland coast, extending in a north- westerly direction from a little above Upernavik, in lat, 73 deg. to Cape York, in lat, 76 deg. But this bay has come to be regarded as comprising the whole of Baffin’s Bay lying to the westward, in which quarter there is alow, circular moyement of the waters, caused by the northerly set of the current on the Greenland side and a southerly | set on the American side, the result being that groat | bodies of ice are held there, constructing what is known as “The Middle Ice,’ on Melville Bay Pack, | To the northward of this tho sea is generally free up | to Smith Sound, and the | into Sound. Westerly winds | this pack upon the Greenland coxst, while easterly also to westward Lancaster drive winds drive it in the opposite direction and leave the coast free. The navigator watches his chances, and | must hold in one direction or the other, for if once caught in the “pack” his ship is liable to be crushed as an cggsholl in the hand. The Pandora, with good | judgment, seems to have held woll to the west and run | the gantlet without difficulty, By pursuing tho same course, after a succession of westerly ; | gales, I once passed, under sail, through Mel- ville Bay in forty-eight hours, and again in fifty-five, without encountering much fee, The open | gea above this bay is known as the “North Wator,” in which He the Carey Islands, and to which point the course of the Pandora was identical with that of tho | Alert and Discovery, under Captain Nares, and the same | as that of Sir John Franklin and of all the discovery | and search expeditions of recent times, Thence, how- ever, the course of the Alert and Discovery was due on the track of Baffin in 1618; Ross, in 1818; Inglefleld, in 185: 1858; Hayes, in 1860; Hall, in 1872; tion the northernmost known land has been discovered and where} lies the “Open Polar Sea” which Kano Kane, in and in which direc- first discovered, which I subsequently saw and traced stitl further north to latitude 82 degrees—that is, to after- ward reached, as 1 bolieve, in the steamer Polaris, and which Captains Nares and Markham will, I | am equally confident, navigate, THE COURSK OF THE PANDORA, From Carey Island the course of the Pandora was a little to the south of west, and into Lancaster Sound, directly on the track of Franklin; then into Barrow Straits, on to Boechy Island, which lies at the entrance to Wellington Channel, and whero Franklin passed the winter of 1845-46, and where threo of his party lie buried. Their graves were first discovered in 1850, but here all traces'of the missing expedition werb lost un- til 1858, when Dr. Rae, travelling overland from the northern part of Hudson’s Bay, in a northwesterly direction, fell in with a party of Esquimaus, in whose possession he found numerous relics and learned of the destruction of the entire party. YRANKLIN'S PATE But he was utterly unable to locate the position of their miefortune or to learn of the cause thereof, fur- reached Montreal Island, at the mouth of Back’s or | Groat Fish River, where, in the shelter of the boat, they | all lay down and died, though, as he learned from the | natives, not until some of them had resorted to the ter- Horo the matter rested | until Captain McClintock, in the steamer Fox, in 1858, approached the locality from the north, Young, commander of the Pandora, was with McClin- tock on this voyage. After a search of ten years the locality of Franklin’s ships was fixed within certain limits, and all that McClintock And Young had to do was to push south | from Barrow Straits by ship as far as possiblo, and, there | wintering, to search in the spring for traces, Three Toutes were open to them, In the first place they might go down Prince Regent’s Inlet, To tho west- ward of this inlet lies the large island of North Somer- set.

M. ships Erobus and Terror wintered in the fce in lat, 70 deg, 05 min. N, lon. 98 deg. 25 min, W. Having wintered in 1846-7 at Boechy Island, in lat 74 deg. 43 min, 28 sec, N., lon. 91 deg. 39 min. 15 sec. W., after having ascended Wollington Channel to Ist, 77 deg. and returned by the wost sido of Cornwallis Island, Sir John Franklin commanding the expedition. All well, Party consist- ig of 2 officers and 6 men left the ships on Mon- day, 24th May, 1847, GM. GORE, Lieutenant, CHARLES F, DES VOEUX, Mate, FORTHER RE! 3 OP FRANKLIN, In this main part of the document there is an error of date, as shown by the subsequent record previously quoted, wherein it is stated that the Erebus and Terror wintered at Boechy Island in 1846-7. The correct date of that wintering at Beechy Island was 1845-6. After leaving the ships and depositing the record we know nothing moro of the sadly unfortunate party, except the traces already alluded to, brought by Dr. Rao, and a boat mounted on runners found by McClin- tock, drawn up on a low point of land, with two skele- tons in it and two rifles leaning against its side. This is all that was ever found, oxcept a few relics discovered by our countryman, the late Captain Hall, avho spent several years in the search, He found no additional records, but he became satisfied, from in- formation received through the natives, of the exact locality of all the books, papers and documents relating to the expedition, These were reported as being buried by ‘tho retreating party in a stone cairn on the southwest coast of King Wil linm’s Land, and the locality, it was thought, could be reached. To obtain these records would be an important achievement, and would clear up all mystery concerning this ill-starred expedition A largo reward for their recovery was offered by the late Lady Franklin, whose indefatigable zeal and devotion so long kept the search in active operation. THE PANDORA’S MISSION. It was maimly, as I understand, to secure these records that the Herat, Lady Franklin and Captain Young jointly fitted out the Pandora, whose course traced to Straits. Instead of the of Captain McClintock down Prince Regent Inlet, the Pandora sailed down Peel Sound. The cable despatch states that when on the west side of Prince of Wales’ Land they met with fine weather, “West? should there read “east;! and, in order to further make the despatch in- tolligible, it should be stated that the Pandora was going for, and not from, King William's Land. Ro- quotte Island, mentioned in tho despatch, is in Peel Sound, nearly opposite Belloit Straits, again men- tioned, and beyond which they could not pass to any considerable distance the heavy pack this “pack” Sir Jéhn Franklin ponetrated in 1846 and succeeded in reaching within fifty miles of Victoria Strait, which had been previously navigated with boats, and which, if once reached, would doubtioes have led the way to the Pacific and the accomplishment of the long sought-for Northwest we have Barrow following course because of ice, Into Passage. CAPTAIN YOUNG'S COURSE. There is no doubt that Captain Young did wisely in not entering this “pack.” The fate of Franklin would have been his, in all human probability. There was nothing left for him, therefore, but to search with sledges, or retreat; and—since the distance from King Land was great to admit of any chance of by the former mothod without wintering in the ice, and sledging, so far as appears, not being down in the plans—it was, no William’s too success doubt, the part of wisdom, seamanship and safety to | adopt the latter alternative, But wisdom, seamanship and safety are not matters for which men have usually been famous in connection with Arctic navigation. De-Haven was called the “Mad Yankee" for his reck- loss disregard of his ship's’ bows, and recklessness is hardly less the characteristic of a corsair than of an Hence it is that the Pandora brings us no results further than record of a bold spirited dash. But to what was sought for required a different course of ac- tion, In order to accomplish anything new in that direction it is, as I believe, absolutely essential thot a winter should be passed there. As for wintering there Aretic voyager. the and now, it is no great hardship, further than it deprives | $i one of the society of friends and the excitements of the great world, But it is healthy and has its peculiar charms; and as for spting trave, no matter how cold it may be there is no particular risk or discomfort further than what falls to It does not the lot of a soldier on an ordinary campaign. seem, as is much to be regretted, that we now know anything more about the fate of Sir John Frankiin than we did before; nor has anything apparently bean | added to the geography or science of the extensive region traversed, Of course 1 do not know anything about Captain Young's instructions; but, since I believe nothing be found ont the romantic history of the Erebus without minute with must express my regret that while pnt into a further can covering and Terror sledges, 1 there the search Pandora was not Land, then MoClintock’s Channel, discovered by Captain | Young while on a sledge journey in the spring of 1859. | McClintock went down Prince Regent Inlet, whore | Parry and Ross had previously gone, and wore finally | brought up by the ice in Bolloit Strait, which separates | most point of tbe mainland of the American Continent. | This is m ‘fatitude 72 dogs.

Let us hope that the same fate may not dé in store for the English ships Alert and Discovery, even al- though we may regret that they do not carry the American flag into @ quarter where Amer- tcans only have penetrated. Their cliances soem to me to be exceptionally good. And of this we find evidence in the fact that compara~ tively little ice was encountered in any part of Baflim Bay by the Pandora, This is duo to the great preva- lence of northerly winds during the past spring and winter. One result of this has been brought close home to usin the great aanger encountered in the navigation of the North Atlantic by reason of the numerous icebergs lying off the Banks and in latitudes where they have seldom or never appeared before. These enormous masses are, as is well known, product of the Greenland glaciers, and, being formed of snow upon the land, are fresh, sometimes rising two and three tundred feet above! the surface of the sea, although seven times deeper beneath.’ They present broad surfaces, not unfrequently of a quarter or half a mile to the wind, and are driven speedily south when the wind prevails long from the north, thus clearing the waters. The ficld ico follows the same direction, and hence it may be inferred that, as the North Atlantic has this season been unusually crowded with ico while Baflln Bay is free, a like open condition will provail beyond in Snith waters, And I still believe, as Lalways have believed since my first voyage thereto, that in the vicinity of the Pole there ia an open, navigable sea in the summer; that it may be reached by ship or boat by way ot Smith Sound, and that the North Pole is within the reach of any nation that will thin spend money enough to get to it it worth while to Respectfully yours, AC I, HAYES.

New Yors, Oct. 20, 1875, To Tae Eprror or Tre Heraup: In your ‘report in to-day’s Heraup of the trial of Jacob Standerman for the murder of Lo Seiden- wold, you say:—“The medical testimony, Dr. Ham- mond being the wituess, went to substantiate the plea of insanity gotten up by the defence.” I desire to state that your reporter has committed a grave error, as I was not a witness in the case, and that if [had been my testimony, from what I know of the circumstances, would have gone to establish the sanity of the prisoner. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, WILLIAM A. HAMMOND.
