The Discovery of the Remains of 8ir John Franklin's Party?Interesting Particulars. Boston. October 23.?The Montreal paper* received bere contain some more additional details of the discovery of the remains of Sir John Franklin s exploring party. In the spring of 1850. a party of forty whites were seen traveling southard over the ice, dragging their boats, by some Esquimaux, who were oc cupied the disruption of the ice, the bodies of &bout 30 white persons were discovered on tba continent, and five more bodies were found on ?n island near about a long day's journey, say 35 or 40 miles northwest of a large stream, which can be no other than Buok's great Fish River. Some of the bodies were buried, and some were found in tents and under boats turned over them, and several lay soattered about in different directions Of those found on the islanJ, one is supposed to have been an officer, as he had a telescope strapped over bis shoulder and a double-barreled gun under him. From the mutilated state of many ef the bodies and the contents of the kettles, It was evident that the unfortunate party had been driven to oannibalism to prolong a mis erable existence. They appear to have had an abundant stock of ammunition. Among the articles in the possession of the natives were the fragments of watches, tele scopes, compares, guns, Ac which had been broken up by them. Dr. Rae saw pieces of these articles with the Equimaux, together with some silver spoons, folks. Ac and as many as could be obtained, he purchased. A list of the most important relios found, with drawing of others, would be forwarded to London COME AND LEARN YOUR FATE. MilH.
