WILL the demon of agrarianism never be ex orcised' or is Ireland doomed in perpetuity to be its prey' Sangaine hopes hare been entertained of late that the fatal spell of prtedial animosity was broken, and that appeals to law and public opinion were destined to take the place of appeals to the aseassin's bullet and the summary jurisdiction of --- way-side revenge. 'Wholesale emigration and the Encumbered Estates Court had, we were armed, put downmendicancy, cottier-holding, commie, and bladgeon-law. It was over-population did it all. A superabundance of potatoes caused a superabun dance of population; a superabundance of population begat rugs and recklessness; recklessness and rags were the materials whereof agrarian gunpowder was made; and so the failure of the potato crop. which got rid of millions of mouths, and forced the sale of millions of encumbered acres, was sure to put an end to crime. Very often and very earnestly have we argued against this police theory of social morals. Again and again we have pointed out that neither extreme poverty nor the madness generated by hunger were the immediate parents of outrage or assassination. Re peatedly have we analysed the evil motives which capes knee has shown lead to the perpetration of crime ; and seldom, if ever, have we found the pre sence of the suspected elements in the judicial alembic. In oar view, class crimes are referable to the hatreds, wrongs, suspicions, and resentments of two great classes of society, each of them possessing power and nerve and vigorous will; but both of them plainly and widely distinguishable from the degraded, demented, and physically debilitated mul titude, whom the faults of both combined had con tributed to engender on the soil. Ptadial crime in Ireland never originated with the pauper rabble, although it sometimes tool shelter amongst them, and occasionally made use of their miserable pliancy for its own dark purpose. Perdial crime has at all times bsen characterised by a stern sobriety of aim, a steady strength of will, and an untrembling firm ness of physical and mental resolution, utterly in compatible with the meanness and baseness of beg gar). While the besom of famine continued to sweep ship-load after ship-load of raendsancy, hunger, disease, and " winged raggedness," out of Parliamentary sight, we hesitated not to say that with them the seeds and germs of agrarianism were not and could not be swept away ; for we knew that L the misguided courage to plot ;owl-side venges and the murderous pluck necessary for its perpetra tion, were laser bred in the hovel or sheltered in the workhouse ; we knew that if peace be tween the proprietary class and the farmer elms in Ireland were not likewise established, the deadly warfare between them would pro ceed pretty much as before. And now what do we see Bankrupt estates have here and there been sold, and a resident proprietary have io gemeral taken the place of absentees. !Mendicancy in the streets and highways has been staved off; and battened down into wards and hospitals by the un relenting application of the workhouse test, outdoor relief being virtually ignored and disallowed. A quarter of a million of human beings bare on an average quitted Ireland every year since the famine : another overflow. as it has sometimes been called, though reduced somewhat, still coatroom Bat so do the sounds of agrarian war. The last s ictim of the internecine struggle appears to have been one of the devoted section of society who combine, in Ireland, the occupations of land agent with that of farming; and who are proverbially ambitious to rise from the subordinate and dependent condition in which their money is made, into that of small proprietor,. Their gauss are seldom such as to enable them to mike extensive purchases of land ; and when they do venture to invest the few thousands saved by years of drudgery and pant mooy, they arc jest the men of all others who are eager to get out of the land the utmost value they think it capable of J ielding. Long accustomed to do the rough and arbitrary work of landlordism for others, they have wedorn any hesit►tion in performing it for themselves. But even when they might other wise be disposed to leniency, the remembrance of their calling cleaves to them in the minds of a dis trustful population, and their best acts arc mildewed by popular suspicion. A sad and dreadful state of things to contemplate, but one which cannot be mended or mitigated by being doggedly denied. Of the unfortunate man whose untimely fate a few days since upon the high road, near the town of Teuiplemore, it has been our unwelcome duty to record, we know compara tively little. He is stated to have originally mi grated to Tipperary from some part of Scotland; but it does not appear that any jealousy entertained of him as a stranger was the inciting cause of the cruel deed. For many years he filled the office of land agent to Mr. Tamer, of Doves, an extensive proprietor in that part of the country. Neither does it appear from anything that has transpired that the circumstance of his being • Protestant contributed in any degree to whet the edge of mer ciless revenge. He had lived unharmed amidst • Catholic population for a lengthened period, and probably entertained no thought of in security on that account. Whether Mr. TanMT has tae reputation of being a considerate landlord, or the contrary, we confess that we have not heard. It is stated that some years ago the ill-fated Rent-collector's life was threatened, but of late he seems to have had no ap prehensions, and to have travelled constantly at late hours sad some. He is described as having recently engaged extensively in farming speculations, and ma having become a purchaser in the Encumbered ' Estates Court of two or three town lands. In his desire to realise the value of his purchase. he proceeded to evict the occupiers whom he found thereoe. Was this clori harshly, summarily, capri ciously, or °sly after reasonable notice, and endea vours to reconcile, ua far ma possible, the interests of old occupier and new owner? We know not ; in all probability we shall never know. There will be abundant talk, contradiction, and explanation, conflicting testimony and angry debate, upon the subject in idea journals: but the true narrative, who will tell The record is defaced and dabbled over with an old man's blood. The truth, the whole truth , and nothing but the truth. will not be heard in the matter till the judgment day. Society, alarmed and angry, will offer a reward for the apprehension of the assassin, and if the reward be large enough it will probably succeed in procuring detection of the criminal. Theo will come the formality of judicial proceed ings, and in all likelihood the grim sequel of a • public execution in front of the county gaol. And the horrible account thus balanced, Society will think it has done its duty, and earned its title to go asleep again, leaving the cause of the old mis chief untouched e‘ en as before. In vain will so half doien Irish members insist next session upon the duty of Government dealing legislatively with what they call the whole question of Landlord and Tenant in Ireland—a phrase of first-rate value at the hustings, but worse than valueleu for all practical purposes in the Howie of Commons. "The whole question of Landlord and " Tenant," u it is called, comprises in reality a doacn separate questions, each of them deserving of earnest investigation, and each of them requiring the legislative interposition which a wise Govern ment alone can insure. But we are sorry to say we see little evidence of either capacity or disposition on the part of those who hold office in connexion with Ireland to originate any measure implying forethought or statesmanlike skill: and our fears are unabated, consequently, as to the perennial recurrence of agrarian violence and crime.

The sale of times In the alter is not so attire u it ought to be at this time of the year. The mildness of the season accounts for this in wane samsare.

The difficulty in negotiating bills foram all the manufacturers to restrict their credit, sad la many instances to decline orders. Crroobt are generally lower—not so much on amount of the abundant hwvest so became holders of emn and sour are in want of money. The l'atrie being very much afraid that corres pondents of foreign journals will give an exagge rated account of the interference of the police with the funeral of General Cavairic, undertakes to tell the public the exact troth. Knowing nothing myself of what the polioe may have done, I can only tell you what the Patrie says. The Prefect of Police sent an agent to confer with the general's family upon certain details of the funeral, but with the sole view that nothing might be done against their wishes. The agent took that opportunity of asking who would make speeches over the grave, but it is asserted that the inquiry wt..' only made in order that the police might be in a position to prevent unauthorised ora tors from making themselves conspicuous. M. de Pokily, the general's cousin, replied that nothing had yet been definitively settled on the subject, but that if anybody spoke at all it would probably be M. &nerd or M. Dufaure. On the morning of the funeral M. de Pointy told the Prefect of Police that after consulting with M. Dufaure, it had been de cided that no speech should be made. He added that tho government had left the family the utmost latitude. After the ceremony Madame Piscatoty came to the prefecture to thank the prefect in the name of Madame Cavaignac for the atteition he had shown to her and her family on this melancholy oc caaion. Thf Petrie has been moved to make this state ment on account of a conversation said to have taken place in the Le Pelletier cigar divan, wherein it was represented that the police had required to have copies of the speeches to be pronounced, and that the family had protested against the requisition on the ground that it was impossible coolly to discuss beforehand the terms in which the intimate friends of the deceased might desire to say a last farewell over his tomb. All this the Petrie declares is posi- tively untrue. I see no reason to doubt that the inquiries of the police were made in the most polite, tender, and delicate manner, but at the same time I have no doubt whatever that the reason why Gene ral eavaignaes Mends abstained from pronouncing those funeral orations which are, or till lately were, customary in France, was that they felt the impos sibility of saying what they would have liked to have said. The Prose contradicts the news that Count Nil geon intends to appeal against the sentence of the Court of Colmar. The French colonels killed at Sebastopol, Lieut.- Colonels Fonfrede, Jolly, and Deshayea, were ex humed on October 5, with the permission of the Russian government, their relatives desiring to re move their remains to France. The whole garrison of Sebastopol wu under arms on the occasion, and rendered military honours to the coffins as they were transported from the cemetery to the French sl:p waiting to receive them. In consequence of Sunday (All Saints Day) having been kept as a strict holiday, not one of the Yetis morr'ig journals has appeared. ITALY. THE TWO SICILIES. 01011 OUR OWN CORR] NAPLES, Orr. A re4ious mission has just returned from Calabria, composed of Padri Liguorini, Padri delle Vergini, arid of regular priests. Before leaving they received instructions from their government, and during their perambulations they have been preaching de votion to the sovereign, and have well surveyed the spirit of that country. On the return of the mission the superior of the Liguorini went immediately to Gaeta to report progress. Such is the service which the church as expected to render, and which it does reedsr, to the government, to watch and subdue the pabße mind. I must explain what a " mission " means. A party of priests, regular or not, go forth into a district to produce such impressions as they are commanded to do. They are as much political spies as they are laments of Jesus Christ, and the country is in a state of treater. Every one sets his house in order, and the contest is who shall be the greatest hypocrite. You may see reverend gentlemen burning their wrists with torches, to illustrate tho pains of hell-fire ; you may, by way of variety, see the same gentlemen lashing themselves with iron chains, and a thousand people following the example of their fugleman with ropes which they have brought with them by order. Shift the scene, and all the gentlemen of the district may be seen crowned with thorns, and girdled with ropea, and preceded by the cross, making the round of the church. They are exhorted, and confessed, and vilified, and threatened with the anger of Christ and the Madonna; lastly, they are absolved, and promised celestial joys—the farce winds up with "'re l)eums " for the King amidst solemn prayers. The priests go home to report what they have done and seen and heard, and the people remain to laugh with one another at the absurdities they have been perpetrating. " Why do you commit such ab surdities, then ?" I recently asked of one. " Because I cannot help it," was the reply, " I must be a hypo crite—we are all hypocrites, and the government mskes us so." These missions continually move about the country; one has now returned from the ('alabriss, and thus is it, through the surveillance of the clergy, that the nation is well trained in hypo. m:sy, and the King kept au courant of all that is going on. Considerable excitement has existed in Naples during the last week, perhaps created in some mea sure by the precautions of the police themselves. In the early part of the week all the police were kept it the Prefecture and at the stations of the various commissaries. Similar precautions were adopted with regard to the urban guard in the neighbour hood, and all were under arms. The mane orders were issued later in the week. lam perfectly igno rant of what may be the precise object of this move ment, as on the surface there is perfect tranquillity; bat, as I have often said, when there is so much real cause for discontent, it is impossible to answer for the peace of the country for one moment. Agitation and conspiracy are the trade of thousands in the Two Siciliee. Men dream of them night and day; and at the present time expectation has been mach raised by reports of what passed at Stuttgart. to the THE NETHERLANDS. (MOM OUR OWN 001lisPONDINT.) ROTTERDAM, Oct. 20. The recent commercial fluctuations of America and England begin to make their effects felt in the com mercial transactions of the Netherlands. Money, though there is doubtless abundance of it, is kept in tight hands, and only parted with for discounting good bills at good interest, or for speculating in the funds. It is consequently harvest time for the legion of Jews that frequent the Exchanges of Amsterdam and Rotterdam. The autumn sales of the Dutch Trading Company have passed off very heavily. The Java coffee imported by that company is considered the supply for Holland end Germany from autumn to spring and from spring to autumn. German commission agents in Amsterdam and Rotterdam generally have orders from their customers for the purchase of more coffee than the Trading Company can supply, and prices run even higher than the estimates made up by the brokers. This autumn LATEST INTELLIGENCE. LNISTERIAL CRISIS IN BELGIUM. On Saturday afternoon the members of the Bel gian cabinet placed their resignations in the hands of the King. Ilia Majesty said he would consider the matter. On Sunday M. Henri de Brouekere, the wall known liberal leader, was summoned to the Chateau de Laeken, and was received by the King. The two Chambers will be opened by the King ea the 10th inat. The Belgian papers appear to think that there is scarcely time to form a new ministry before the meeting of the Chambers. CHINA. The Paris Pays says :—" We have private intel ligence from Hong Kong to Sept. 8. The Viceroy Yeti was expected at Canton about the 16th, on his return from Pekin. The Emperor had conferred upon him the title of hen-try-pauk, which means lieutenant of his person. This is a rank which is never given except to princes of the imperial family when on a minion. It is said that Yeh has positive orders to summon the Engliah:to evacuate Canton, and is authorised, in default of compliance, to make an official declaration of war against England. It results from this correspondence that the affairs of China are far from being in the way of a pacific solution. Lord Elgin and Baron Gros were expected at Hong Kong about the 20th or 25th of September, and no course of action could be decided upon till after their arrival," THE I)ANUBIAN PRINCIPALITIES. A letter from Bucharest, of the 23rd ult., in the National Oazette of Berlin, says.—" The last few days have been passed by the Divan in preparatory labours, and in the organisation of the Assembly. The sitting of the Divan will be always public. Although in these sittings several members endea voured to excite discussions on political subjects, the president succeeded in preventing such debates. When the preliminary labours had been terminated, M. Constantin Crezrulcseo, of the extreme left, pro posed that the chamber should acknowledge the urgency of voting the four points contained in the national programme. Fifteen members supported this proposal. A committee of nine was then appointed to report on the question of urgency, and on the following day it decided in the affirmative. Nobody spoke against the four points. The cham ber then voted the points successively and unani mously. The metropolitan immediately gave orders for the bells to be rung; the town was also THE INDIA MAILS. (DT ELM TEM TILZOILATIII (rlOll OCIt OWN COZATAPONDENT.) SOUTHAMPTON, TessnAT.

The Moniteur de rArmee announces that the Minister of War has just called out 42,000 men of the clogs of 18.56. The Press* observes that this is only about half of the contingent voted, and there fore infers from the fact a corroboration of the hopes of a general disarmament which arc now entertained in many parts of Europe. lam not at all sure of this. It is, I believe, usual only to call out half of the contingent voted unless extr►ordinary circum stances occur. It will very likely turn out that there is nothing out of the ordinary course in the of the Moniteur de fArmle.

The effect, of the mils, however, upon French commerce generally Is likely to be kill rebus than many people 'appose.

S of them have already token measure to protect thenuclree from Imo, sod to recover their edvancen promptly. They have mat enters to their agents to the it is different Very few orders have arrived from Germany, and the Rotterdam merchants bought at the first sale all the coffee offered, at a few cents per pound below the brokers estimate, on speculation. But this speculation will be ruinous to many, since at the second sale a few days after at Amsterdam the highest price to be had was a few cents lower than had been paid by the Itotterdam merchants. Had the company accepted those terms the loss to the Rotterdam merchants would necessa rily be much greater ; but the company withdrew the lots, giving at the same time the assurance that they would offer no more coffee till the spring sales. This will doubtless have the effect of somewhat mitigating the depreciation in the value of coffee for the present ; but in the mean time buyers hold back, and the merchants who have bought at the first sale are obliged to force sales or to keep their coffee warehoused in the hopes of a rise. But these hopes artunecessarily very slender, since buyera are bold ing out if possible till next spring, when they know a very large quantity of this eutumn'a stock, as well as the usual spring sto6c, will be brought into the market, and that sues a large supply will send down the prices. A similarly sudden fall has taken place in grain an: most articles of colonial produce, and as the stock was hire the losses will necessarily be large. also. Still it is believed that the l)uteb merchants will be able to pass the ordeal without resortinic, except in a few cases, to bank ruptcy. The rommcrce of the Netherlands has in creased to • - vault extent during the last few years, and most merchants have made such profits as will enable them to bide over the present ebb till fortune flows spin. In the meantime nothing is going on. Mervn/its go to 'Change to talk about India, while clerks sit at their desks and scrape their nails or ii.ck their teeth. Business is out of town, and no one can say when it will come back. If calms were necessarily the prognostics of storms, we ought to be preparing for a hurricane. Instead of that we are drinking our claret and smoking our cigars, and praying for a little breeze, a little work, and a little profit. A VOICE FROM AN AUSTRIAN PRISON. The following narrative has been written by Captain Szarmary, one of the three persons whose escape from the Austrian prison of Joaephstadt, in Bohemia, we lately reported: " I was thrown Into prison chiefly on account of some inconsiderate speeches, with reference to poli tics, which I had uttered against my denouncers—l may say, against my calumniators—both of wham, although by their speeches in reply to me the 7 had compromised themselves in that matter more than I had done, have nevertheless remained secure and at liberty ; and after having undergone a confinement of fourteen months whilst awaiting the result of the examination, I was sentenced to twenty years' further imprisonment in irons, which was imposed upon me notwithstanding the fact, well known to those who passed the sentence, of my suffering from gout. " In spite of the general amnesty which was pro claimed, I remained with four other prisoners in the dungeon; and since neither I, myself, nor Dr. Schutte and (late lieutenant) Herr Wimps iler, who were of our number, could endure the additional pain of this disappointment, we conceived the design of bestowing an amnesty upon ourselves, to which resolution I was the more impelled by a motive of self-preservation, mainly suggested to me by the excruciating pains of my gout, ag gra vated as they were by the pressure I of the irons which I wore. This project, by the manifest favour of kind Heaven, we were enabled to execute. " The two prisoners left:behind are, first, Herr Kofler (late Lieutenant Koller), who at the outbreak of the revolution, being then in his early youth, was taken prisoner in the first conflict at which he was present, and now remains a prisoner still; second, Herr Fogarasy, front Siebenburgen, whose father aid mother had been murdered by the Wallacbians, stirred up against them, and his brother, who yet survives, had both his feet cut off by them, before he took up arms. In one of the fights at which he was present, the village where he lived, together with all his own property, was destroyed by the flames. Not withstanding this, he was accused of being the author of the conflagration, and for that reason im prisoned. This arrest took place exactly at the mo ment of his young wife's first delivery. Hebeggedto be allowed to stay with her at least until this event should be passed, since the grief she must feel would cost her else her life. 'I his petition was in vain. When she was brought almost to the verge of her grave petitions were sent to the Auditor by Fogarasy's friends, entreating that the husband and wife might be permitted to see each other once again; but still the prayer was denied, even though a person of distinction went so far as to fall at the Auditor's feet and beg him to grant the unfortunate pair one last interview : his reply was, that ' he had to deal with men, and not with women: That child, which has scarcely ever been looked on by its father, is still alive. How long must he continue yet to pine before he looks upon his child again ? CARL SZAIIMART." THE KOLAPORE MURDERS. The followins authentic and interesting narrative of this episode in the Indian Mutiny, contains details wo have not met with elsewhere. The venous accounts which have appeared in the pubSc pinta of the mutiny of the 27th Regiment Bombay N.I. at Eolapire, giving contradictory statements with regard to the sad fate of the only European lives then lost, one who his had access to the few details amertainrd on the spot regard ing the deaths of Lieutenant Norris and Ensigns liesthfield and Stubbs, is desirous of affording a melancholy .•tiefaction to their friends by a short narrative of facts, chiefly collected from the confusions of mutineers since executed and the testimony of native eyes ituesaes, *terming in the main with that of the brother camas of those lamented young men. On the night of the 31st of July no apprehenitions were entertained by the English at Kotonere, no precautions had been taken, nor any place of rendezvous or ?slugs ap pointed in Care of a mutiny amongst the Sepoys. The night was very dark and rainy ; after mesa, about ten o'clock, the °fibers separated as natal ; some went to have a game et billiards, some went home to bed ; the major (commanding the regiment) was at home ; the doctor and his wife ware speeding the evening at the house of a friend; Norris and De Limey, who lived together, had gone home to bed ; Stubbs (who was adjutant of the regiment) I was one of the party at billiards; his younger brother had gone home to bed. The Elam wee given in the billiard-room that there was a row in the lines. Stubbs's servant brought him his cloak, and ran to awake his brother. Stubba wort off to the lines, where be was soon joined by the major. They tried to get the faithful portion of the regiment together, and a few did follow them, but could not be got to act in quelling the mutiny, raving the arras and treasure or the lives of the officers, more than by giving them warning to fly. Heatldield and Jones rashed into Norrhis hens% and begged him and De Lancey to "Get up quirk," saying, "The men have mutinied, and are coming up here." Norris at first would not get up, nor take alarm ; but, an De Tansy's request, he got up and loaded his gun, De Laney loaded hi. pistols, and they went towards the lines, having previonely been joined by Ensign Stubbs. On the way they met Captain M'Calloch, who advised theta to go back to their home and waft till he sent them word what to do. They returned, and sat in the verandah listemiog is the firing and noire in the lines. Suddenly a havildar Wished in and said, " For God's sake fly for your lime I There are 150 men maim to murder the officers ; they are now in the mem :" Norria's home was within two doors of the meet. The four officers rushed through the house, Norris calling out, "Come along—l know a capital place." De Laney, however, stepped into Lis room for hie sword, and this eared his life ; for when he attempted to fol low his comrades he could not see them for the darkneas, but found himself alone with his Sepoy wean, who urged him to " run, or he had no chance of escape, as the men were mad with drink, and longing to kill the Europeans." He ' made for the residency, not without fear that the Irregulars quartered there might also be in mutiny, and fire on him; but he resolved to Kok it, having no other place in view, and afraid to call out to his friends lest he should attract the attention of the mutineers, who were plundering the major's house neat door. At the residency he found the major and Ida wife, and by degrees, with much danger and difficulty. all the European. of the place assembled thank Mrs. Rolland, and the other ladies and children, had escaped by miracle—for the most part in their eight-drew- end their first act en reaching the residency:was to kneel down and think God for their safety. De Lacey volunteered to assist Captain Schneider that night, and went off to command 70 men of his Irregulars, pretecting the magazine, &c. Stubbs, M'Culloch, end other officers got together about 100 men, and took up • position at the mesa-house ; but the men were seized with • panic, fired off their guns, and rushed into the mar, and would not be persuaded to come out again. The night of the Ist of August came, and no tidings of the miming officer'. 4,040/. bad been taken from the treasury, lots of ammunition carried off, and the shops and the major's house looted ; a poor old woman, mother of the havilder who had given the alarm at Major Roland's house and at Norris's, was found murdered in her house. The mutineers bad gone, but all was confusion and distrust in the camp not a native could be trusted, and there were no European soldiers. When Do Lancey found that Norris was not in the fort or the neighbourhood, nor to be beard of anywhere, he volunteered to scour the country for the three missing officers, if be might have five mounted men ; but he was told " they could not be spared—all were wanted to protect the station." Meanwhile the three poor fellows were seen by some coolies on the Thonda road. They carried their boots over their shoulders, and walked barefoot because of the deep mud and difficult ro ads. Tkey are supposed to have lett the main road on the 2nd of August, and; turned to the left till they reached the village of Solunkore before daylight on the 3rd. Here the villagers gave them some food; they were eating it in • temple when • party of fifty mutineers came up ; woman told them there were three kaffirs in the temple, e;ad they instantly surrounded it and shot the two unarmed men (Stabs and Iteathileld). Norris an • little ?dormice and turned to fire upon the murderers, bat b e fore he could draw the trigger three bullets entered lift side. The mutineers passed on, and the villagers, 'rearing to to blamed, threw the bodies into the Doodgr.nga river. The bodies of Norris and Heathfield have been ;we found and buried. Thu fell three poetising younr; men, the eldest not 24 years old, beloved and regretted by allwlio knew them. His commanding officer says of 'Norris, that " he wu a greet eremite with hie brother officers, and from his abilities would have beer, a great ornament to the navies which has lost him. Nothing but their innate eendish disposition could have indeed, the mutineers to murder him, u he was always conciliator/ end kind towards the nieri." One ot his brother officers speaks even more warmly of hint as " the best fellow in the regiment, end my greatest frieird, with whom I have always lived, and never had a quarrel, or anything like a quarrel. Poor, dear old Nora; whom I loved se a brother I I mime him more and more every day ; he wee so good and kind, and never hurt a living thing. I am so unhappy I scarcely know what to do. How I feel for his poor parents! It seems almost like a dreams and I can gamely imagine I shall never see him again." Heathaeld is also spoken of as an officer of great promise for the very short time he bad been in the service, and was much esteemed and loved in the regiment, as wu poor &ebbe, " whose sweetness of temper won him all hearte." • " '" It hie been said that these three " mimed their way to the residency, " but there is no reason to suppose they intended to go there, or thought they would be more secure at Colonel Maughan's than elsewhere. In fact, they knew nothing of its being a partial mutiny. All the troops at Kolspore were native to a man, and the three officers probably thought to escape, u Norris's words would imply, to some of their old haunts in the Ohauts, where they were frequently in the habit of hunting and shooting. Since their deaths Kolapore has been, like many other places in Indio, a scene of terrible and bloody rettibution. Vp to the 6th September daily coertiemartial were sitting. Six men bad been blown from guns, 11 shot, and many more hung ; the gaol was still full, and the work going on. Such are the scenes of "evil " from which these three young sows have been suddenly and ►wfully "taken." May God have mercy on their murderers I " Vengeance ie mine, saith the Lord." SUPPOSED N .

The following is an outline of the cirsomstsnees elucidated , to the present tines On the morning of Saturday, Mr. Butcher, fa hie usual course of business, attended Cokhester market. After dining, he obtained the offer of a ride home with Mr. ' Johnson, • dealer, at Wakes Collie, who gave him " a lift" as far as Mr. Skingley's farm, • distance of two or three miles from hie residence.

When abont ten rods from the spot when the alleged minder took place be wee met by • person named Hubbard, who bade him " Good night," to which deceased respouded and p•saed quickly on. A few step. further on the read Hubbard met a stranger, whom be also saluted, but received no audible reply, and close behind followed a second men, also unknown. This was about its o'clock, and wee the hat occasion on which deceased was seen alive. Two or three minutes after six Thomas Bettie under-gardens to Robert Hills, Faq., was croseng the park, end when at a distance of about fifty rode front the road which bounds the park grounds, beard a noise ap parently of persona scuffling. Thinking it arose probably front persons intoxicated he walked on quietly to the lodge gala, which is within a stone's throw of the spot. Passing through the gate, which closed loudly after him, and pro bably alarmed the maiden's, he walked towards deceased, but stopped when about halt way to listen fora moment, when he distinctly heard the footsteps of mere than one, permn running in • direction from him.
