SIB JOHN FRANKLIN.

The discovery of the remains of Sir John Franklin, so far from allayin anxiety, only tends to create a still more onging desire to know more of the and details. The re- mains of himself and com anions have been I lug scattered about the salts of the Great

In all probability the journals of Sir John, or ofsome of his olficars may be recovered by visiting the t. They would tell o his progress» , . ' ' , and are,

' well worth the afismpt of recovery. We hope a party will next year be sent to the place to glean particulars and collect

No obstacle presented by loose’ ice, no matter how heavy, would induce him to relinquish his enterprise. He knew that Aberdeen Island was scarcely a de- gree south ofLord Mayor's Bay; but he had no knowledge of the continuous land, since then followed by Rae, from Repulse Bay entirely across to Boothia. His exeb tious to get through to Altholee would only get him ferther in the ice toward the bottom of tlie Boothian Gulf, fromwbence he would be unable to trace his steps, where he, with his ships, if he found a harbor, may be at this time.

The vast territorial limits of Russia laugh to scorn the occuptttioa of the allies; they may take possession of here and there a strong- hold, but they will be subject to the assaults of fresh armies which will rise at the com- mand ofthe Czar to expel these invaders. The killing off of the old crop of Russian sncrals is not a small advantage, and the talent of the youn nfiicers, who have been educated in the nu itary academies founded by the resent Emperor, will next be called on. The devotion and constancs of the Russian soldier is proverbial. efeated over and over by Charles XII., pursued even into the heart of the country, the uasians raise after each defeat more formidable than ever. No comparison can be made between the present resources 0 the Empire and those under the command of Peter the Great. Let the allied armies attempt to enter the Em ire, and the ex- amples of Pnltowa and t oscow are before them. History is always self-reputation, and we might extend the precedents of destruction from the modern conquerors, Charles XII. and Napoleon, up to the ancient Semiramis and yrus. Alexander was too wise to enter into a war with the Cythian tribes. We may be told that the Cossacks cannot compete in the field \J.lth the warlike and disciplined legions of Bilg- land and Francs,—but their numbers will at Inst consume and destroy the ‘proudest armies that can be sent to inva e their territory.

The rent lesson of the present war, exhibited in the destruction of the Russian fortresses, is the mighty advance in the execution of the modern engines of war. Eight and ten inch guns, discharging solid balls and hollow shells of prodigious weight have been sent from adistance of a mile and a half and over, with the effect of crumblin stone walls in a few hours into heaps of ruin. The equipment of forts with a similar artillery in now absolutely necessary, and in this respect the Russians appear to have been behind the age. The ships at the distance of 2700 ards delivered their trcmondoun lire against the walls of Bomar- sund while lying in perfect safety from an dangerous return mm the guns of the fortress. '

With all these serious losses the inter- est of Russia is sti war, even though Sweaborg and Cronstadt share the fate of Bomarsund and Sebastopol, for the war, wgotracted, must end in the ruin of the

The prevalence of.incorrect notions upon the subject of medicine, is a great cause of misery. Medical practice should be governed by principles cautiously deduced from the contributions of long experience and close observations. How im-
