The Trentne has the. following: The report from San Francisco of the dis covery on the California roast of. a:recoritot the Franklin expedition supposed to have .been thrown overboard among the 'frozen waters of the Arctic circle, and after twenty otie.yeara to have been cast ashote_:spinething likes ,000 miles from theplace where it was launcheeL• is : full of • a -melancholy interestt, though there is little probability that the doeu-• mem, even if authentic, will add. much to what we already know of the last: days of Franklires gallant band. In all 'likelihood the record is merely a duplicate of the one' which McClintock • - discovered on Ring - Island in 18W. Sir Leopold, it will be remem bered, found there the only authentic account ofFrankliiisfate which, up to- the present time; has ever reached us. In a cairn, erected twenty-eight years before by Sir John Ross. he found, inclosed in a tin case, a re cord"of Sir John's last cruise up to the :45th of April,ll34B. Franklin had died on the 11th of June, 1847; The ships , Erebus and Terror had been frozen in for nineteen months; and the survivors of the crew, 105 in number, un -der-command_of_Captain_Crozier, bad aliand-__ oned them'and set out over land for the Great Fish river of British liortlf America. • Mc- Clintock heard from the Esquimanx how the White men had one by one dropped down and died on the way. He found the. skeletons of two or three, with their abandoned sledges. 'boats, and guns; he satisfied- himself that the remainder had perished misir ably among the frozen 'straits, and their bones had been lost in the waters when the short summer thaw sat in; and though there has since been a rumor that Crozier and some of his men were alive several years later among the Esquimaux, and may even yet be wandering in those inaccessible regions where the foot of no other civilized man has ever trod, there can be little • doubt that Mc- Clintock's conclusions were justified, and that no later record of the most memorable of all Arctic voyages will ever reach cis. The document said to have been found on the California coast appears to • have been written, as that found on King William's Is land was, on., one of the printed forms fur -nisheel 41y-the-British- _Admiralty_to_al cerVerk,.Ships for the purpose of being inclosed in bottles andi thrown overboard in order to ascertain the direction of ocean currents. So exact indeed, judging from ' the telegraphic report, is its resemblance to /the McClintock relic, that we should have little hesitation in pronouncing it 'a forgery inspired by that - document - were-it-not probable that-a- forger woul' have invented some variation; and given the record a later date. The latitude is the same as that in which Crozier deposited the writing in the tin • case; the longitude differs by ten seconds, Crozier giving 98 deg. 4 min. 15 sec., and the California report 98 deg. 4 Min. 5 see.=--but this. discrepancy may be owing to a telegraphic blunder. If, this wait wits really committed to the waves, by'the crews of the Erebus and Terror when they set: 'out . upon their awful land journey in the Sprinq of 1848, it must have floated through that Is orthwest Passage which so many lives and so many years of heroism were expended , in ••seekin_g, • and which it is now known that Franklin was the first to disbover, though the knowledge of .it was' not brought, back . to the - civ ilized world until. Sir Leopold . McClintock returned . from his search It must have floated through Behring's Strait, . been tossed about the shores •of British America, perhaps crossed and recrossed the Pacific, be-. fore chance threw it upon the beach of San Buenaventura. Such a course would be an interesting confirmation :of the theory that while there is a, Warmodeanic current setting Northward front the equator:- through - Bell= . ring'srStraiti - there-is a cold counter-current - under4unning it, Which carries off the Waters of the Pole to be heated Under the tropical sun and again sent Northwards. —The Parisian frenzy to mingle blood with ink has taken a, new and ridiculous turn. Mine. Olympe Audouard, fancying herself ag grieved by an article in the Figaro, has chal lenged M. de Villemessant, to. fight a duel. 'When an angry shoemaker called out Grainer de Cassagnac the other day, the ac complished littdrateur made Paris laugh by __replying, with pinch politeness, that he (had -- not learned to fight with awls." M. de Ville mestant might , have sent answer to this lady - that - his tongue-was-not so - quick as - his - pen; but she gives him no opportimity for this re tort. "Pistola" is her bloodthirsty- word; and, lest any lingering delicacy for, her family should deter the critic, she lots .him know that he may shoot her if he eau ' seeing that, she is a widow and has neither father nor brother. Banquet fn riew Iforks.Apeeches by the •. • Messrs. 'Loring, Fay and Blaiide,, of. the' 'Harvard crew, arrived in New York yester day morning by the steamer City.ofAntwerp; • and were cordially received- by their . friends. and various committee men .at : the Astor' House.

I . am proud-of men whose defeat' is so .. glorious in both hemispheres. I am not of' those who countsuch efforts a Weide time or money. I believe them to be contri butions to , a true manhood. In this case I be= lieve that the Harvard crew have been peace-. makers between two great nations that ought. to be eternally friends. They 'have (tailed fortli_a, _sympathy _ and_ cordial _ _fellowship - which will not soon subside. - There am. be a good work done with the oars as well as pens and statesmanship. If I . were with you should lika to give each of them a cordial grip of the hand, and to tell them that,l -for one am heartily obliged to them." Lontsto's SPEECH. In response to a complimentary toast, Mr. Loring said he should only be too glad to say a few words to them in retarnfor the kindness' tendered them on their. arrival. He thanked them for the magnificent entertainment, and said that he Was not prepared for such an ova tion as the present one. As one of the crew be felt that they had really done all they could to earn victory. They had done their best. Of course they felt very sorry in not being able to . bring over witli..them the laurels of victory: They had used their best efforts toward that object. [Great applause.) ' • SPEECH •OF SIR. IsLAIKIE. • Mr. Blailde said: "This is a 'fine oppon tunity to acknowledge your kindness. When we Came to yotir city, some months ago, five in number, we were treated in the most regal style. A few' days ago I was talking to our.' stroke, and he said it there.was any chance of a reception that we had better go . • right through, and told him we had done our best, and that.' did not see how any' one could find fault with us. .T. said 1. believed 'in staying the city, as we had done everything to the best of our ability. [Applause.] "Now we want the Oxfords to come over here.' The ice has been broken; and we don't see why they cannot come over. We will give them a fair race and a fair course. [Hear, hear.] We rowed them on. their own course,, and we want them to return the compliment. We know the difficulties of the in many points of detail and all of the character of the course, but we trusted to their honor to keep the course clear, and nobly did they do ; it. The Oxfords said they did not know what a clear course was until that day." They had no cause to complain. Haying briefly re viewed the details of the race, he said:—The English pa pm prophesied that the Harvards would lead in the race, and they did, but some claimed that it was 'done"' by the Ox'brcls. on.purpose. It is the custom of professional men when racing to get in front of their op ponents' boat and "wash" them. I had an interview with Mr. Tinne in regard to, this, with a view to its discontinuance. Mr. Tinne admitted that it was an ungentlemanly act, and no definite agreement was made. At one critical point the Harvards bad afine Op portunity to resort to this advantage, but they did hot avail theinselvds - of it, but afterward the OxfOrd crew, obtaining a sufficient lead, washed their boat. and then practically the race was decided." Mr. Simmons was also indisposed, suffering from a slight diarrhoea, but, possessing a strong heart, attached no • the utmost kindness and attention from all classes, particularly from the Oxford crew. I was . reqaested 'to act as refere e, _but supported the nomination of Mr. Tom Hughes. No at tempt was made to interfere with the crew in any manner or fashion. I have been asked whether they willeome here to row. I cannot say anything about it, but I trust they will not long hence come over and row us in our own waters. [Great applause.] Mr. Blaikie said he fully intended to pro pose to Mr. Willan to meet/ our Harvard crew on their own water. -He was not called upon and therefore no arrangement was made. The fact that but one member of the Oxford crew was present must not be 'interpreted to their prejudice, for most of them, without a i knowledge of the dinner, had made' arrange. menhi to leave the city. Mr. Blaikie then pro. posed three cheers for the Oxford four ,of '69, which were given with a will. GE 9. TRUMAN, Jr., Chief Marshal , although not entirely unexpected, most of the larger sails having been double-reefed in ex pectation of a squall, that four of the crew were washed away, the rest barely gaining a place on the mizzen chains. Working for dear life, the sailors at once cut away the weather lanyards, fore, main and mizzen, and the ship partially righted, the sea breaking; over her with terrific force. While the wea . ther lanyards were being cut away seven men were washed oft from the mizzen chains, of whom only four were saved,the others strug gling wildly for a moment, . then, going down exhausted, and in full sight of their comrades. .As soon as the .vessel righted, Captain Rus sell, seeing that the only chance for life and home lay in the advent of a. vessel, set the survivors of his crew to keep a sharp lookout for a sail. • From 8 A. 31. until 1 P. 31. the wearied sailors clung desperately to the wreck, tired andworn' out, and almost de- Spairing, but at the latter hour the gale began to abate,- and their position became some what ' more endurable. At 3 P. M.

In the evenin • a band. tsa • I • 1 — in the ga ery • scourses • mee :selections of music, and the ball:.being: brit ;trimly lighted, the scene •• is enchant ring The beautiful decoration of the !stop excites the admiration of all' IViSitors. As stated in the BuLLE'rssi. 1 yeirtentay, the stage represents tropical 'scene, Strange, towering plauts range up the aides; and meet at the back,and the foreground ,it; filled-in and the lioards of the - stage corn- Ipletelyxovered with choice shrubs and with laurel and - moss. Among other 'plants and :trees used in these decorations are palms, ban tanas, ferns, caladiums,the gamL.-431aatietreeatwl. the aCeria. There is also a'fitie specimea of the Guava tree in full bearing, with the curious Cisans, a species of Japanese . grape. The whole region presents a maze of bewildering, strange and beautiful things, and if the exhi .bition ended here, it .would amply , repay. a visit, At the extreme back of the stage a sheet of water runs over rocks and banks of moss, the effect multiplied and heightenedby mirrors ingeniouSly placed for , the pur pose. These decorations were de vised by Mr. William Southwood, Another feature which attracted great at tention is the magnificent floral design by Graham, which was also mentioned in yester , day's BULLETIN. It is located in the south west corner of the room, and stands 16 feet from the floor. The base is made of ever greens, and the remainder of eat flowers. On the top is a representation of a belfry or church-tower, in which hangs an immense bell. The design IS similar to those erected by Mr. Graham at the Academy of Music on'the occasion of the ball given by the Masonic Knights Templar. A general idea of the exhibition was given in the BULLET IN of yesterday, but it, is utterly' impossible to describe accurately or satisfacto rily the beauty of the appearance of the hall, or the articles exhibited. The floral contribu- Ilona this year are not so • large, more atten tiOn having been given to fruits and plants,. the Pomological Association holding exhibi tions but every second year. Among the.._:..contributions to • this department • may . be more especially noticed the specimens of the Duchess D'Angouleme pear, from Norfolk, Va., weighing each from 17 to 18;1 ounces, and the Louis von De Jersey, =from the same place; 62 varieties of apples and 76 of. pears, from Burlington county,: lowa ; 360 varieties of pearaand apples from Kansas; fine siekel pears from Hestonville, Pa.; grapes, foreign and domestic, and pears 'from Catawissa, Pa.; pears and peaches. from Chestnut Hill, Pa.; peaches, pears, apples and f Italian watermelons from New Jersey ; pears and apples from Massachusetts and New ',York, and grapes from the latter State; ' peaches, pears and apples from Delaware. A, 'Jot of veFybigana lasmous-looking pears from California arrived last night. Upon the table devoted to Kansas there are upward of 150 varieties of apples from a single orchard. In the basement there is a very fine display of vegetables. The exhibition is to continue throughout to-day and evening and to-morrow, closing at 10 o'clock P. M. to-morrow. THE POMOLOGICAL CONGRESS. In the foyer of Horticultural Hall, the American Pomological Society assembled this morning, President Marshall P. Wilder in the Chair. The meeting being called to order, the President said : "fientlemen_Lat affords_me _the _highest satin- faction to meet, on this twelfth anniversary of the American Pomological Society, so many who have come up to ciiperate in the advance ment of the benevolent objects of. this Associ ation. From whatever section of our widely extended country you come, whether from' the genial,snnny South, the temperate Middle States, the cooler regions of the North, the fertile fields and valleys of the ever-expanding West, and the golden shores of the Pacific, I greet you with aright hearty welcome to the privileges and pleasures of this occasion. But as my Official duty requires me to address you more formally, I shall refrain from further re marks at this time, and proceed to the busi= ness of the Convention.". Mr. Win. L. Schaeffer, President of the Horticultural Society, was then presented and said : "It becomes my pleasant duty to welcome , you all to the'City of Brotherly Love, and we will do all in our power to make your stay pleasant andagreeable. We are engaged in similar pursuits, you more partidulaly in _.peniclo_g,y and we . itihortieulture._ Alt our stitutions,will be - open to most freely, and if there is any special object that you desire to see, we will do all within our power to fulfill your wishes. I now say happy, thrice happy are we to see you, and I trust tha,t your stay will be pleasant and agreeable." , President Wilder replied as follows : . . Ilr. President_:,,lii_belilf of the_Anierican_ Pomological Society, I return you our sincere thanks for the kind and cordial welcome you have extended to us, and' theainple and elegant accommodations afforded ws. Your society was one' of the founders of our institu tion, and I know of no more suitable place for its present meeting than your city, We were, therefore, most happy to accept the invitation • of the •Pennsylvama Horticultural Society, and to assemble for the third time under its generous hospitality. Philadelphia is re nowned as the patron of art, science, patriot ism and philanthropy—renowned alike as the home of American Agriculture, American Horticulture, and American Independence. Thanking you again, with the, hope that the result of this session may prove instructive to ourselves, honorable to. your city, and profit able to " our common country."
