Y'e are indebted to Sir Geoif-e Simpson,
Govenor of the 1 ludspn's R.iy Territory. for the
privilege of first -publishing to the civilized
world the at length 'ifscer't a !ned fate of- the' no
ble but ill-starred Sir John Fra:ik!irt i''A his
gallant company. Alas! that tlie fate should
have been -so sail, and that the probh-ni, which
has so long occupied the thoughts and engaged
the energies of the great navigator's countless
friends aiid admirers in Europe and America,
should be solved by so painful, so distressing a
narrative as is contained iu the following letter
which only reached Sir George Simpson yes
terday afternoon,: it liaving bee'u forwarded
from York Factory via lied livvr. Our -own
hopes of Sir John Franklin's restoration to the
world, had, "we confess, long ceased: but who
could have been prepared for the fearful reali
ty?, a miserable and fearful death- from literal
starvation possibly, as Dr. IJae conjectues,
worse than starvation on the frozen and des
olate shores of the Arctic Ocean. - ;But, we
sliall not detain the reader by any reflection of.
ours from the perusal of Lr i .ae s intensely
interesting narrative we- shall merely. men
tion that Vork Factory, is situate at the mouth
of Hayes River, in Hudson's Bay, in about 50
degrees X. L., and 93 degrees W. L."
FonV Factory, August 4,1854 My Dear-Sir
George -Your several letters, public and pri
vate, of dates loth June and 1st December 18
), aud ...1 3th and loth of June, 1854, were
handed me on the 28th ultimo, on my reach
ing Churchill, and. I rejoiced to.. learn' that
your health had been .benefitted' so much, by
your visit to the north. - ; ; . ---
Let me now allude to the expedition affairs.
I arrived here on the olst-ult.,r with my -small
parly in exellent health, but I am sorry to sny,
without having '."effected, our object. . At.tho
same time information has been obtained, and
articles purchased from the natives which pla
ces the fate of a portion, if not all, of the then
survivors of Sir John Franklin's miserablepar
fy beyond a doubt a fnte most deplorable dbath
from starvation, offer having had recourse to
car.ibnlism as a means of prolonging life.
I reached my old quarters at Bepulse Bay,
on the loth of August, and preparations were
immediately commenced for the winter. Oil
the 1st September I explained to the men our
position, the stock of provisions we. had on
hand, (not more than three months' rations,")
and the prospects we had of getting more,&c,
&c, pointing out all the danger and difficulty
of onr position. All readily volunteered to
remain, and our exertions, to collect food and
fuel went o:i with unabated energy. By the
end of September, Hi'.) deer, 1 musk ox. 01
braco of Prarmignn, and 1 seal had been shot,
and tho nets produced 1W salmon. The migra
tion of the deer terminated abont themiddleof
October, and i-3 more were added to our stock.
Oa the 2e'th of October, the snow being suf
ficiently hard fo!" building, ivc were happy to
exchange our cold tents for the more comfort
ably shelter of the snowhouse. The winter
was very severe, but the temperature in our
snow huts was never so low as in my winter
quarters of 1840-7. I 'p to the ' 12th January,
we had nets set under the ice in the lakes, tlic
nets were taken up ou that date as they pro
duced nothing.
On the SI st of March, . my spring jonrney
commenced, but in consequnce of gales of
wind, deep, soft snow and foggy weather, we
made very little progress. We did not enter
PcIIy Bay until the 17th... At this place we
met with Esquimaux, one-of .Whom, ou being
asked if he ever saw white people, replied in
the negative, but said that r large party, (at
least 4) persons,) had perished from want of
food some 10 or 12 days' journey to the west
ward. The substance of the information ob
tained at variotis times and from various sr.v.r
ces, was as follows: In the spring four winters
past, (spring, l-0,) a party of white ' men,
amounting to about forty, were seen tra elling
southward by some Esquimaux, who were kill
ing seals on the north shore of King William's
Land, which is a large island named ive:-ik-tak
by the Esquimaux. Xhic of the party could
speak the native language intelligibly," but by
signs the natives were made to undei stand
that their ships or ship had been crushed by
ice, and that the 'whites' were going to where
th y expected to find deer to shoot. From the
appearance of the men, ail of whom,exceptone
oliicvr, (chief) looked thia, they were then sup
posed to 1h; getting short of provisions and they
purchased a small seal from the natives.
At a later date the same season, but previous
to the disruption of the iee,the bodies of about
30 white persons were discovered ou the con
tinent, and -j on an island near it, about a long
day's journey, (say Z't or 40 miles,) to the
northwest ol p. large streem, which can be. no
other than Beck's Great Fish liiver, named by
the Esquimaux Out koo-hica-lik, and its de
scription, and that of the low shore in the
neighborhood of Point Ogle and Montreal Isl
and agree exactly with that of Sir George Back.
Some of the bodies had been buried ; probably
those of the first victims of famine; some were
in a tent or tents, others under a boat that h id
lecn turned over to form a shelter ; and sever
al Jay scattered about in different directions.
Of those found on the island, one was suppos
ed to have been an officer, as he had a tele
scope strapped over his shoulder, and his
double barrelled gun lay underneath him.
From the mutilated state of many of the
corpses, and the contents of the kettles, it is
evident that our miserable countrymen had
been driven to the last resource cannibalism
as a means of prolonging life.
There appears to have been an abundant
stock of ammunition, as the powder was emp
tied in a heap upon the ground by the natives,
out of the kegs or cases containing it, and a
quantity of ball and shot was found below high
water mark, having been left on the ice close
to the beach. There must have been auumber
of watches, telescopes, compasses, guns, &c.,
all of which appear to have been broken up, as
1 saw pieces of the diifeient articles with the
Esquimaux, and together with silver spoons
and forks, purchased as man3" as I could ob
tain. A list of thu most important of these I
enclose, with a rough pen-and-ink-sketch of
the crests and initials on the forks and spoons.
The articles themselves shall b handed over
to .the Secretary of the Hon. IT. B. Co., on
my arrival in London. .
: Xone of the Esquimaux with whom I con
versed had seen the 'whites,' nor had they ev
er 'been r.t the place where the dead were
found, but had their information from those
who had been there, and those who had 6Crt
the party when alive.
From the head of Polly Bay which isabay,
spite of Sir II. Beaufort's opinion to the con
trary I crossed CO miles of land in a westerly
direction, traced the west shore from Castor
and Pullux river to Cape Porter of Sir. James
Ross, 'and I could have got with CO or 40 miles
ofBeloitStraitjbutl tho't it useless proceeding
further, as I could not complete the whole.
Xever in my former Arctic journeys had I
met with such an accumulation of obstacles.
Fogs, storms, rough ice and deep snow we had
to light against. On one occasion wo were
four and a half days unable to get a glimpse
of the sun, or even to make, out his position
in the heavens. This, on a level coast, where
the compass was of little or no use, waS 2cr
plexing in the extreme. - ' '
The weather was much finer on our return
journey than when outward bound, and our
loads being lighter,our days' marches were
nearly double the distance, and wc arriYvd, at
-i.epmse Jay on tne Loth .Slav, without acti
ueiit, except in 'one instances, in which one of
the party .lost a toe fr.yni a Irost b;te.
The commencement of spring was very iic
but June and J uly were colder. Wc were unable
to get out of the bay until the 6th of August;
" Our progress along the coast, as far as Cape
1 uhorton, was much impeded bv ice ; but on
getting to' the Southward of the- cape we had'
clear weather, and saw .no ice afterwards','
The .conduct, of the men, was, generally
speaking, good ; and we had net a single case
ot sickness miring-tiie time ot our absence.
Being anxious to send this to Bed River bv
the first boat, I write in haste and hi
shall have the pleasure of sending a more' de
tailed ace-ount by some future opportnnitv
ith the utmost res-poet, I have the honor to
be, your very ouedicnt servant, John Rea.

A Jist Vkjimct. The Poughkeepsid Her
ald says, that in the September Circuit Court
of that district, a teacher was arrested on'a
charge of cruelty, to a pupil. It was shown
that for some net of disobedience he had flog
ged a girl by the name of Frances Gershom,
seventeen years of r.ge,' with a whip,'s sever
ly, that black and bine marks Were left upon
her person for weeks afterwards. The Judge
charged the Jury that the teacher stood in tha,
place-.of a parent, and had a right to correct a
pupil, but in so doing, must exhibit a parent's
feeling; and, if he exceeded -what was neces
sary to preserve ordor he was liable for assault
and battery. He further charged that the
means used to preserve order should be adapt
ed to the sex, age and habits of the pupil,
"and left it to the Jury to say whether any
passible circumstances would v.'awraut. a man,
whether a teacher or not, in laying his iiands
in violence or auger on a grown up girl.'? The
Jury found a verdict against the teacher for
the sum of three hundred and sixty-live dol
lars. "
The Less cf Ocean Steamers.
The Boston Journal, in referring to the loss
of the steamer Arctic, enumerates six ocRan
steamers, running from the United States,
that have been lost the present year. They
nre the Sin Francisco, from Xew York for
California; City of Glasgow, from Liverpool
to Xew York ; City of Philadelphia, from Liv
erpool to Philadelphia ; and the Arctic, from
Liverpool for Xew York.. The present year
has wiinessed more appalling calamities upon
the Atlantic than Was ever before known in
the same space of time since steam was ap
plied to ocean navigation. It is sad to think
of the frightful loss of life and the destruc
tion of property as have resulted from marif
time disastcis within so short a period.
