Diieovery of Sir John Franklin. Montrmi, Or/ 21 A dispatch from Dr. Rae, dated York Facto ry, August 4t.11, has been received by Sir 4 ;corge Simpson, Governor of the Hudson Bay Territo ry, narrating tho discovery of the remains of Sir John Franklin and his unfortunate company They were starved to death in the spring of 1 , 450, to the north-west of Fox River. The Montreal Herald says:—"We yesterday dispatched a special messenger to the Hudson Bay Company's Howie, at La Chien, and through the kindness of Governor Sir George Simpson, are enabled to lay before our readers the follow ing outlines: A dispatch was received by him yesterday, from Dr Rae, who has been absent on the coast since the let of June, 1R53 He returned to York Factory on the 2sth of August last, from whenee be• forwarded letters express to Sir George Simpson via Red River settlement. After briefly noticing the result of his own expe ditioo, he proceeds to state that from the Esqui meatax Indians he obtained certain information of Sir John Franklin and his party, who were starved to death after the loss of their ships, which were crushed in the ice while making their way South to Great Fish River, or Ruck, near the outlet of which the party of whites died, leaving accounts of theirsufferings near their mutilated corpses, which were evidently furnished to their companions. The information, though not derived from the Esquimeaux Indians, who communicated with the whites, and who found the remains, but from another baud, who obtained the details viva twee, may be relied on. There is no doubt left of the truth of the report, as the Natives had in their piassession various articles of European manufac ture, which had been in possession of the whites Among these are several silver spoons, forki;Sce. on one of which is engraved, "Sir John Frank lin.

We reka - ntly published a brief paragraph ft nn 'wile western paper desi:ribing the appearance and conduct of an unfortunate wild womiin who had been seen in the woods 111 Oeouto county, Wo.eonsin. The last number of the Gre.en Bay .1,1,0, of, contains a letter writteu by a gentle man of intelligence living in Oconto, giving some further information respecting the woman He says:— She cannot be older than 4.2 )oar, at most, and the probability younger, Of the nervous sanguine tetuperament, light compliA/en. rather florid, Itglit brown hair, and which wh, o f/uud was ettipped short; eyes lark brown, and whet speaking liit up with that peculiar cunning smile of lunacy She is not at all fractious; her grade of inanity being what is called by Prichard and E....quit-oil, "dementia, - or - monomania, - and probably resulting from an abnormal state of the function of acquisitiveness, which can only be pintal insanity.

Recently Mrs. Lindley, the wife of David Lindley who had been ten years his wife, and borne fiim seven children, all of whom were deceased, came to California to join him, where ho was at work as an honest carpen ter, and had sent for her, but upon arrival, for some unaccountable reason, she coolly told him that she had not come to live with him, but merely to take advantage of the law and apply I for a divorce.

There was such au offense at common law, the professional sages of the Constitution and the "able counsel fur toe defen dant," to the contrary notwithstanding. Every schoolboy, almost, knows that the "common law" of England was adopted from the earliest periods an part of the law ..f this land, except where in applicable or inconsistent. The reasons for pun ishing this offense, were probably the protection of the person and rights of the citizen, and the honor and integrity of the State If so, they are of increased weight in this country, from the facility with which the offense may be commit ted. The test of the crime seems to have been the removing the person from where the "friendly assistance" of the laws of his State would reach him. We have only then to :IA ~ar-elves, whether an officer of Pennsylvania, from the Governor to a Deputy Sheriff, could have releas ed Cooper front captivity in New York, by force of any writ from any Court of the State The answer is /1.0, of course, and at once demonstrates the propriety of such prosecutions. No law of Pennsylvania is of the least force in New York, except by way of what is called state comity, or courtesy, which, depending merely upon the will of one party, must not stand in the way of the rights or dignity of the other. The States of the Union, with the exception of the powers granted to the general government, are as independent an sovereign as any of the States of Europe, and the honor and integrity of their policy and laws should be guarded jealously State comity is eminently proper in such a confederacy as ours, but at the same time, each state should be arnaol with the most potent legal means to resent in. fractions of its dignity, and violence to the rights of Sits citizens, committed upon it, t‘wil ,oil The present is not the first instance that citizens of Erie county have felt the necessity of the strong arm of the law to protect them in the en, joyment of their personal liberty We hope that at this late day, that that arm is not about to he paralyzed. Free Soil sad Low Nothingism The Pitttsburgh Saturday 17siter, a paper that professes, and generally acts up to its free soil platform, is not very favorably impressed with the political character of the Know Nothing (ir ganizatiou It says:— "The mark this party has made on our last election is not one to impress us favorably Judge Baird, their nominee for Judge of the Su preme Court, and one or two of their Assembly men, are specimens of their choice, not well cal enlisted to impress folks frith o high erti#4tit. their judgment Judge Baird is pro-e+ ry b. the core of his liturt, and a man of no snciir,Wny leyol attainments or depth of intellect We have been desperately tired reading some of his fugi tive slave law effusions, and if Native American ism can bring out no better materials of which to manufacture Supreme Judges, they had better send out to the bogs of Ireland, and bring user some turf diggers to wear the ermine. - Again, says the Varner, "If we do not mistake the work ings of the political wheel, this party is t.. be come the pro-slavery party of the nation; the .Ad Democrats will loose their vocation, a nd foreign ers be driven to acknowledge and labor for the rights of all men, even native born Virginians It appears natural that the proseriptionists should amalgamate Those who proscribe men for be ing born on the other side of the water, would naturally persecute any other class of persons it might appear convenient; and an old presenti meat appears likely to be fulfilled, that "lrieh, (lertnans and niggers" will yet have to tight side by side for political freedom in this country." So it. appears, these Know Noth ing coadjutors of the Whig•Frtse-Soil-_lnti-Ne braska party, have little sympathy with the "isms" of the latter; and also that the candidate they sought to place upon the Supreme Bench, is a regular "Fugitive Slave Law" advocate'— Verily, we are forted to exclaim.—great is Hum bug: Par DSNTIAL.—The Ilirri-burg Tti,yrapit has hoisted the name of Judge Pia...tom:A as i t., candidate for President iu The chief merit of this new "Richmond," we suppose, is the way he run for iloverunr If that is so, then all we have to do to beat him blind, is to go in for Mo'i ! lie's a trump that can win, even against Pollock's thirty-two thousand majority. klurrah, then for MOTT and victory !

Starting out upon the hypothesis that rogues hare been more fertile in inventing crimes than honest men or legislators hare in dertsinir, ways and means to very the punishment, he thinks that a penal node might be adopted, which, while it would effectually ern the criminal, .writid certainly prevent - s, repetition of the offence. Criminals are now, according Lithe nature of the offence, condemned to either "Death, imprisonment, whip ping, ..r fine." four modes of }mai eboteat fur as many bun arr., kind. of crime. Now, to erre this seeming discrep ancy bet wean disetwe sod ewe, the writer in the Review propuor • to "ecrolaalette aU plawirA weals for eperarternu of pitar.o,y ...a surgery." That is, when a person is con•ic ted ut an offence against the peas and dignity of the runt inonwealth, be shall be condemned to the tender userriea of the Medical Faculty.

For alight or first offences it may perhaps be nwasswary to order the criminal to be put under the bands of an apothecary's clerk tor a week or a fortulght.
