It is st..ted that the Conference at Zu- ‘riCh is again progressmg. -«?The Paris correspondent of the Times says,â€"-â€"The task of the plenipotentiaries has, been dimishcd by despatches from Vienna, and it is believed the conference will be terminated in a few days unless lfresh instructions should be received. The amended programme is stated to be ‘as follow.s:â€"â€"“ A definite treaty of peace will. be signed by the three powers, and another treaty will be drawn up by which Austria will cede Lombardy to France who will make it rver to Sardinia. The most difficult part in the double transfer is ‘the debt, and On this head it is believed that Austria will moderate her demands. Documentswill be brought up respecting the'Italian confederation. the restoration vof the Dukes and other unsettled questions, ibut they can only be signed by Austrian «and French pleriipotentiai‘iesp as Santiinia autterly rejects restoration, and will not .agree. to a confederation under present ~circumstances.” Spain has requested to be represented rshould the Congress take place. The gossips of Paris and Brussels state 1that Prince Albert will represent England -and Arch-duke Maximilian Austria, at the ‘ ,pr'oposed conference at Brussels. GREAT BRITAIN. , Repairs on the Great Eastern are going actively forward at Portland, but it is considered doubtful whether the ship i could be got ready for sea during the A month of October. The fittings and all r matters connected with her sea-going ~ equipment has been placed entirely in the . hands of the Marine Department of Board - of Trade, and this it was supposed would - increase the expected delay. It was thought probable that in a few days the .Ibip would proceed to Southampton for ~ convenience of receiving materials from .. London, and for the gratification of ex- « cursionists who co-ntinuedlo visit her in thOUsands.. . h 5 . , ,The Telegraph Cable between Malta . and Sicily is seccesstully laid and business had commenced upon it. ' The London Times has another edi- ‘ torial‘on the newboundary difficulty with the United States. .It laments that the former treaty should have left any pretext for the question which has arisen, and says .it is a ease for the earliest possible . settlement. It points out the absurdity of going to war for so trivial a matter, but - argueslthat England must nevertheless as- sert her rights even it they are plain. The article concludes witli'a description of the 2 intimate commercialand otherrelationships ~ existing between the two countries, and the lamentable effects which war would . have upon both. . The official Gazettecontains an order ~ extending the time for: the payment of : bountiesrto seamen until Nov. 30. ;. The British Association for the adâ€" ' vancement ofscience terminated its annual 2 session. at Aberdeenâ€"members to the number of ‘200 were entertained by the \Queen at Balmoral. . _ The Earl of Derby had carried out his ‘threat to clear his Doon estate in Ireland, so far as to have every tenant served with formal notice to quit. The incentive, it will he remembered, was the difficulty ex- perienced in tracing out a murderer, and the conviction that the tenantry threw impediments in the way of the discovery The case attracted much attention. ' It is stated that Sir Hope Grant is to have command of the expeditionary force 'to China, and that 10 000 men are to be sent from India but none from England. LATEST. LONDON, Vl’edncsday morning. Colonel Hawkins, Chief Commissioner of the Oregon Boundary Survey. arrived in London yesterday, in the capacity of Special Envoy for Governor Douglas, in consequence of the occupation of the Island of Son Juan by the U. S. troops. Col. Hawkins transacted business at the foreign other) shortly after his arrival. The Times’ says it has reason to be lieve that General Harney has placed military posts on San Juan on his own re- sponsibility, and without instructions from Washington. He has declared to the British authority that he did so because American citizens had been arrested on the,Island, but that he did not mean his Occupation to be permanent, although it was his intention to hold the Island till he heard from \Vashington. The LOndon M’orm'ng Post referring to the difficulty, says, that our transatlan- tic comins had better watch the progress of the Russian power in the Pacific than quarrel Willi their best friends and cus- tomers. the people Of England. F lANCE. The Paris correspondent of the L0iiâ€" don Spectator says there is still a hitch in ,pcace negotiations. Austria persists in keeping the army in 'Venetia. When this difficulty has been surmounted. the treaty will be signed by Austria and France, and the Congress will she held at Brussels. It is announced that the French force for China will consist of 5,000 troops of the line, 1,500 marines, 6 large steam transports, 4 sailing frigates, and 6 first- class and 6 second-class gun boats. An- other authority says the expedition will .nitinber'frmn 10 to 12,000 men. - The French steam frigate Lane, was wrecked while proceeding from Toulon to Brest, all hands saved.

The China mail with dates from Hong Kong, August 10th, reached London. Nothing of any moment had occured since the afiair in the mouth of the I’eiho. Two gun boats and a steamer remained in the gulf of Peehli, the rest ofthe defeat- ed squadron being at anchor principally off the entrance of the Wigliipooe river. One of the Hong Kong neWSpapers states that Mr. Ward, the American Plen- ipotentiary, was still on board of his ship and as little likely to obtain the ratificaâ€" tion of his treaty as the English Minister. Another journal speaks of the probabil- ity of his going to Peking and a Russniii despatch, published at St. Petersburg, says he had arrived at Pekin,but Was kept in confinement. It is stated on Russian authority that the loss of the Chinese in the affair, on the Peiho was 1,000 killed, the number of wounded was not stated. The Hong Kong correspondent of the London Times says that the repulse of the British had not produced any change in our relations with the Chinese. It is stated that some of the wounded were in the hands of the Chinese and were well treated. All quiet at Canton. Admiral Hope’s state of health was serious. There had been a serious riot at Shang- hai in which several foreigners had been killed and others wounded, amongst them was Mr. Interpreter Fay, who is in a pre- carious state.

The French Minister has ordered the Coolie ship into port for strict investi- gation. FATE OF SIR JOHN FRANKLIN. [From the Globe.] The fate of Sir John Franklin is no longer a mystery. Fourteen long years have passed since that gallant hero and his brave mariners Ieftthe shores Of England Willi the hope of discovering that North West pass- age which for centuries had been sought, but sought in vain. Many a noble expedition during these years has penetrated the icy regions of the north, and battled long and well with Arctic cold and ice, but bore no tidings back of the object of its search. At length aray of light has penetrated those ice-bound Shores, and revealed what, alas! we had too much reason to expect, that death has long since stilled the heart Ofevery member of that heroic band. Not even one survives to tell of these Sickening scenes of suffering and woe. The interest- ing narrative of Capt. M’Clintock, which we publish this morning, will be read with mournful inter- est in every portion of the civil- ized world, and will be the means, we doubt not, of putting a stop for ever to those fruitless voyages, in which so many valuable lives have been sacrificed and so much precious treasure has been sunk. The Erebus and Terrorâ€"ships bearing ominous namesâ€"sailed from England on the 19th May, 1845, under command of Sir John Franklin, who was accompanied by 18 officers and a crew amounh ing in all to 130 souls. These ships were last seen on the 26th July Of the same year in latitude 748 48’ north, and longtitude 660 13’ west, moored to an iceberg.â€" From this date till August 23, 1850, a period of five years and a month, all traces of the expedition disappeared. At length on Cape Riley, at the entrance into Wcl- lington Channel, marks of the Ships were seen, and it was found that here they had passed the win- ter of 1845-6. Here were dis- covered the graves of three of Franklin’s menâ€"sad memorials Of the missing expedition. Noâ€" thing farther of an authentic char- acter was heard until the letter of Dr. Rae appeared, dated from York Factory, 4th August, 1854.â€"â€"- In it he gave the result of his tra- vels across the Boothia Isthmus in 1854, and the substance of informa- tion obtained from the Esquimaux who dwell on the banks of the Back or Great Fish River, infor- mation which tallies very well, except as to dates. Willi that which Capt. McClintock’s narrative af- fords. The Esquimaux told the Dr. that in the spring of 1850, (this was evidently an error) a party of white men, amounting to about forty, were seen travelling south- ward over the ice, and dragging a boat with them, by some Esquiâ€" maux who were killing seals in the north shore of King William’s Landâ€"~that their ships had been crushed by ice, and that the whites were now going to where they ex- pected to find deer to shoot. The men, with one exception, were reported as looking thin, and were supposed to be getting short of provisions. That subsequently the bOd‘eS 0‘ abom “"“V “"13 per'jextinguisbing the fire before it had ob- sons were discovered on the conti- nent and five on an island near it. lAs is well known, several articles 'were recovered from the Esqui- in 1855 by Messrs. Anderson and Stewart, who met Esquimaux in the vicinity of Montreal Island who had actually seen the whites, and who confirmed the account which had been previously given to Dr. Rae. However conclusive to the pub- lic these traces of the crews of the illâ€"fated Err-:bus and Terror might be, Lady Franklin was far from satisfied. That nobie-minded wo- man resolved to make yet another attempt to gain some further tidings of her long-lost husband, and hav- ing failed to enlist the Admiralty iniher cause, she resolved to de- vote her own fortune to the enter- piize. The screw yacht Fore, fit- ted out for Arctic navigation, was placed in charge of Captain Mc- Clintock, who volunteered once more to brave the perils of the Northern clinic. He, with a crew of 25 men, left Aberdeen on the 1st August, 1857, hoping to reach some sheltered nook in this icy land ere stern winter settled in.â€" His progress, howevei. was stop- ped in Melville Bay, and the little Fox: was drifted southward in the pack some 1,194 geographical miles. The sun returned, the we broke up, the Fox escaped, and northward, with brave hearts, they turned their prow, more fortunate this time than before. In May, 1358, the voyage was recommenc- ed, and early in June they entered Melville Bay. 0n the llth August they visited Beeby Island, and on the 17th sailed down Peel Strait, through which the Erebus and Terror had doubtless passed many years before, never again to re- turn. On the 6th September they passed through Bellot’s Strait, and unable to get further north, they took up their winter quarters.â€" In the spring of the present year they commenced their searching expeditions, down the western shores of Boothia Felix, the eas- tern coast of Prince of Wales’ Land, making the circuit of King William’s Island, and reaching even to the banks of the Great Fish River, their labours being crowned with most complete suc- cess. At Point Victory, upon the north-west coast of King William’s Island a record of the Franklin Expedition was found, dated 25th April, 1848, and signed by Captain Crozier and Captain FilzjameS.â€"â€" By it they were informed that Sir John Franklin had died On the 11th June, 1847; that the ships had been abandoned on the 22d April, 1848, in the ice, five leagues to the N.N.W.. and that the surviv- orS~--a suggestive wordâ€"in all amounting to 105 souls, were about to proceed to Great Fish River, under command of Captain Crozier. Not only has Captain McClintock brought back written records giving positive and reliable facts and dates regarding the miss- ing expedition, but many mourn- ful relics of the long lost naviga- tors Of whom it was composed.â€" Lieutenant Hobson, for example, discovered a boat within which was a. large quantity of clothing, also two human skeletons. One of these lay in the after part of the boat, under a pile Of clothing; the other, which was much more dis- turbed, probably by animals, was found in the bow. Two double- barrelled guns stood upright against the boat's side, precisely as they had been placed eleven years be- fore, one barrel in each being load- ed and cocked. The cause of sci- ence was not forgotten by this little band. Eight hundred miles of coast line were discovered, by which the explorations Of former travellers were completed. The insularity of Prince of Wales’ Land has been ascertained, and many magnetical, meteorogical and other Observations made. Captain McClintock has nobly achieved the great object of his journey. He has at last satisfied, if not as fully as could have been desired, the public curiosity re- garding the fate of Sir John Frank- lin and his men. Sir John, we now know,” “ sleeps his last sleep” by the shores of those icy seas whose barriers he in vain es- sayed to overcome. He died, as British seamen love to die, at the post of duty. Surrounded, let us hope, by his gallant officers, who, while he lived, would minister to his every want, and when dead would hear him to his cold and lonely tomb in some rocky bay, with saddened hearts and tear- bedewed eyes. Finnâ€"Yesterday afternoon about four o’clock the stables and out-houses attach- ed to the residence of Dr. Bull,on Yonge street, a few doors from the Police Sta tion, took fire. Two or three carters, with barrels of water arrived very soon on the spot, and parties who were present succeeded by the means of buckets in ta-ined: much headway.

The day was all that could be Wished for; the company was the largest ever seen in the place on such occasions.â€" The number Of entries was greater than at any former fair, giving ample evidence that though we have seen very hard times, the'first gleams of a better future is suffici- ent to revive our energies. There was a splendid show of horses, cattle, sheep, poultry, and roots.â€" There were aISO several beautiful paintings, both in Oil and water colors; neither were the horticultu- ral and mechanicaldepartments for gotten; and as in this world gener- ally, there never is unmixed plea- sure, SO it was in this fair; for al- though the general arrangements were“ good, one thing was much needed, and that was, a tent or some spacious building in which to Show the poultry, roots, &c. We hear that the canvas belonging to he Provincial Association was promised, but was not forwarded to Toronto in time. This was a Serious disappointment, and mili- tated much against the full enjoy- ment of the fair, as the articles for exhibition could not in the small Space allotted to them be seen any- thing like tO advantage. Take it, however, in its entirety, we are iii- clined to pronounce the exhibition the most successful one ever held in Markham village. We are glad that it was so, for it Shows that our townships are increasingly alive to the importance of such shows.â€" This is, as it should be, as we know of nothing that in an equal degree advances the pursuit of agriculture. , The best articles are invariably shown at such times, by which means a spirit of generous rivalry and competition is kept alive, which helps to awaken and Sharpen the intellects Of our sturdy ycomen, who otherwise are too apt to be content to follow the dull rotine of their forefathers. Thanks to these agricultural associations. Such is now impossible; for with improvements going on all around ' him, the farmer feels that he must bestir himself, or be content to lag behind, which his independent proud spirit scorns.
