Many , not tasted wholesome meat, or known the or of a !smilesr roof for a far longer period .111 were homeless, penniless, friendless, and •• •rn. Workers overtaken by sickness and -ows out of employment poor wretches who succumbed to temptation, and who now ked in vain for the husks of former pleasures ; n and women of good education, who ..1 sunk from their own station and .1 fallen on the tender mercies of the radon streets; the shiftless and the unfor rate, those beaten in the battle of life, and those 1:o had fallen helplessly or culpably out of the 1 .....tik5; such were the partakers of the Christmas provided at Newport-market.. To give the rt tier a clear notion of the work this excellent t tee has performed, and how its functions differ !-,•••1 the casual ward, we quote some of what are .:• •I the special cases of the last few days : 1. W. C., a servant. Had been out of a situation some A situation was obtained for him at an outfitters.

A recommendation to a large firm in his own are-- was given to h m, and work obtained at once. It will be seen that the kindly care of the i • :age does not end with providing food and .titer for the night. An applicant once admitted, or alc is permitted to return for seven nights, i • :rig sent out each morning to look for -,•• ark. Those present yesterday had come in • various , and were all without tangible periods future. The social enjoyment of • e day was to them a mere gleam of • e comfort the well-to-do enjoy, and it would • difficult to conceive anything sadder than the • wriest between the well-filled dinner table, with : • Christmas joints and puddings, its foaming Lags, and the nuts and orabges of its dessert, and e uncertainty which every one present must have It as to dining at all to-day, and in the days to : llow. Some of the women's stories were even :_,re pitiable than the men's. One lady's-maid ho had nursed her mistress through her last ill :.ess and then broken down herself and been taken : • a hospital, whence she emerged convalescent, : sit too weak and ailing to do aught but " live • upon her clothes," had been there some days. Her character was unimpeached, her behaviour ..nexceptionable; but she had no friends, and without other dress than the deplorable one she stood in, all chance of obtaining another situation rust an end. After suffering such privations as only the penniless and helpless of our cities 'allow, she came to the Refuge, and th e su r-rintendent is now seeking employment on her Lkbalf. Another woman, respectably connected end whose relatives are well before the world, LA been seduced from her comfortable home, and :ter living with her betrayer seven years e•td until he drank himself into a mad rase, would have starved yesterday but for Le Refuge. But to glance hastily down the line er pitiful visages was to read as in a glass a story hich might vary in its details, but the eulmi- Liting catastrophe of which was uniform. The ~ :, e s and furrows on the cheek and brow, the dark llows of the eyes, the painfully beaten expres - a which made the youngest adult there seem 1, recalled the faces of the doomed in i .aite's terrible vision. The Christmas apologues -Lich turn on poor travellers meeting chance and unfolding the romantic his us to each other, and which shed the • Jot of fancy over the sufferings and privations ' the narrators—all these, and there are many ••h, het med to become unreal as we looked on. .• • t even Christmas fare, nor the Christmas also .tions, would make these people talk like those • meet in books. The anxiety for the morrow is too keen for philosophy or sentimentalising as '‘• the past; and it was impossible not to feel that surely as the animal sense of comfort and re ; -thin would die out so the fierce troubles of .iee care-worn lives would assert themselves with • .-morrow's sun. But it was a humanizing, taching sight, and if, amid the merry-making of this jovial season, the Newport-market Refuge is i• membered as it deserves, its receipts will far exceed those accruing from the longest run of the auesessful Christmas piece. Ham-yard, Windmill-street, on Christmas-eve, ••• as gloriously busy. What we believe is called tie. Leicester-square Soup Kitchen is there, and was everted into a splendid oe-operative store for t: e evening. Huge plum-puddings lay piled Lie cannon balls in one corner; portions of r'. 4 lly, juicy beef and mutton occupied another; slide parcels of grocery, and modest allotments of " , inforting drinks were all being rapidly served (ult. Jovial looking men in white aprons and 'lames distributed these good things like isnevelent genii, and as if they liked the Amateur counter women—benevolent i'odis'e who had apprenticed themselves to the Leslie...se, and did it capitally—served out the Owl - ter and tea ; and hovering about übiquitous, ;401 with an ever kindly word, was the clergyman whose organization the great success was doe. ithre there was no attempt at eating or drinking ' , 14 the premises.

From distant parts of London —from Bethnal-green, Shadwell, and White chapel, as well as f rom the parishes hard by, the people came. No questions were asked, RSVe as to whether they were teetotallers, when extra groceries were substituted for th e i r share of drink. The responsibility of selection had rested with the donor of the ticket, and all that Ham-yard had to do was to honour its own draft, and this it did right nobly. A dinner fit for a family of hearty eaters was wrapped up and carried off in no time to speak of, the ticket-helders entering at one door of the building, receiving their portions at each of its departments, and emerg • ng, like bees laden with honey, at the other end. All these had homes of some kind, in which they were presumed to cook the sturdy lumps of beef they carried off; and all tendered their thanks right heartily. Seven hundred and fifty families were thus enabled to make merry yesterday; and to feel that Christmas-day had brought good will and kindly feeling in its train. Their histories, could they have been read, would have been those of the struggling poor of London, the people whose life is a long effort to keep off the rates, and to secure the daily modicum of bread. There are as many degrees in poverty as in riches; and the Christmas dinners purveyed at Newport-market and at Ham-yard, seemed to mach distinct classes. It is pleasant to think that each of these establishments may be regarded as representative ones; and that the good work we saw in progress was duplicated in countless dis tricts of the unwieldy territory called London. The casual wards of the metropolitan workhouses last night showed, however, that vast and catholic as our Christmas charity is, there is a terrible margin which it does not reach ; and that to starve in the midst of plenty is the fate of thousands even on the great feast day of the English year.—Daily News. LORD LYTTELTON'S rrazr TO PEW ZEALAND. Lord Lyttalton gave an soommt of his recent rbdt to New Zealand to the members of the 84ourbridge Institute • few day' ago, Lord Lyttelton was aecompa- Med by his son, the Hon. Spencer Lyttelton. The out ward and homeward voyages were made vii Panama. The travellers first maw the cliffs of New Zealand on January 24, and Lord Lyttelton described the harbour of Welltngton thesingularly beautiful and picturesque ; the of coast shut it in .11 round, and the scenery w w:s id :Orunlike that of the Lake of Lucerne. The houses in all parte of the colony had a comfortable English air; they invariably found • quantity of English books, which came out from England in every ship, and there were plea sant_ldnilish prints and pictures on the walls. Wellington eras the seat of the colonial government , t present t-house was little better than a cottage. Lord L tan's particular destination wee the Canterbury settlement, with the foundation of which, some twenty ago, he was oonoerned. The from Wellington years lNart Lyttelton occupied from aigbteen to twenty hours, and on landing they took nil to Christchurch, pang through a tunnel one mile and three-quarters in length, which now gave rapid communication between the coast and the settlement. Civilisation, cultivation, and in closure have spread over the whole of this pert, and • good deal beyond the town (of Christchurch) in all directions. Christchurch had been laid out with a view to the future rather than to any present capabilities of population. A curious effect of the original church character of the settlement was that the agent who fixed the site and laid out the town thought it suitable to affix to every single street and square in it the name of some English see or prelate. The general look of the town was somewhat slovenly and unkempt, and such matters as clean and neat paving, filling up ruts and puddles, re ca:vcd but scanty attention. There was not yet any concentration of buildings deserving the name of more than a largo village. The population was said to be about 8,000. The town had gaslights, anti the streets and roads were macadamised ; but beyond the outskirts there were only tracts made over the grass of the plans. Scattered among the enclosures were the small home steads and gardens of the dwellers in the subarb and here and there a church. Them marks of al vancing comfort and civilisation in a district which 20 years ago was mere wilderness were of singular iutere-t to one who had so much to do with the foundation of the colony. The only positive measure by which the founders of the colony pretended to give it a church of Euglanil character was that the first purchasers of the land by their own consent, allowed 11. per acre—one-third the price—to be allotted to church p This con tinued es long as the Canterbury Association lasted ; but when the colony received self-governing powers and • popular constitution the church retained no exclusive advantage of any kind. He found the political relations of the numerous colonies were a subject of great local interest, and the general movement of opinion was towards a greater consolidation and concentration of political action throughout the colony. In the early days of such settlements, with their numbers few and the means of intercommunication very imperfect, it was almost inevitable that each separate settlement should have its separate government. But with the progress of popula tion and intercommunication it would be a sign of weak ness rather than strength that such independence should continue in a country of less size than Great Britain. It had been ably pointed out by Mr. Grote that among the fatal causes of the decay of ancient Greece was the jealous exclusiveness with which so many small states within its limits asserted their self-governing exigence, and there could be little doubt that the ultimate aim of New Zealand statesmen, now generally stated (for the details would require the most careful adjustment), should be the establishment of a strong central . . government surrounded by municipalities.' Such a government, indeed, there was, but it would need farther development. There was a good church school, Christ Church College, where many of the resident gentry and others sent their boys. In an address he gave there, he strongly urged parents to "upped and strengthen the school, and make use of it, rather than send their sons an the way to England for education. The great effort in young colonies ought to be that of self-reliance, possession within themselves of the essentials of social life. Even if they rent their young men home to Oxford and Cam bridge, let them not do violence to nature by sending away from their homes their children of tender years. The general following of English usages was to be observed in the colony. They bad the same amusements and many of such institursons as were common among us. The extraordinary growth of watercress was one of the plagues of the colony, requir ing the moat constant efforts to prevent it choking up the water. It was sometimes said to be so thick that one could almost walk upon it, and it was even the subject of special legislation, and watercress and scab in sheep (oleo a most formidable evil, from its rapid spread through a flock once attacked) were perhaps the most peculiar objects of colonial legislation, as compared with England. A candidate at an election was reported to have said : " Gentlemen—l come forward on this occasion wholly actuated by scab ; I stand upon scab." He was told at the lunatic asylum that there wore often melan choly cases of madness produced by separation from home. He believed that this was often not immediate, but through the indulgence of drinking habits. An almost perpendicular bill intervened between Port Lyttelton and the Canterbury Plains, and until the railway re cently made, communication was very laborious. The vast end lonely plains of the colony, with their far separated homesteads and scanty flocks, represented all such fertile countries in their early stages of occupation. Every part of the arid-looking pastures of the country was fine arable land, capable of bearing 40, 50, or 60 bushels of corn with little trouble. In the present state of the population, however, it paid better to stock them with sheep and sell the wool and so it would be for many a long year yet. The condition of any new country which but a few years ago was a solitude must always be one of promise somewhat snore than of performance. Can terbury was • cub of England, but yet not an an. licked cub. Go out, however, beyond the suburbs, and they saw this cub getting licked, or even T a a c i e L o Mo r that process to be begun. There they had a though on a small scale, of England as it was ; and there, too, they saw what England was centuries ago, with similarly Tad powers of nature undeveloped and slumbering around, patiently atiftgthe band of human skill and enterprise, under Divine thinee, to evoke them. It was not easy to resist the feeling that they bad these additional reasons to suppose the end was not yet; and there were still under the sun resources, which they hoped year after year mese and dis creetly to make use of, and width might su for the life and comfort and well-being of countless generations. Mauro 01'rItaoZ.—A corresp ondent _ of the Dwßliw Erasing Neil, writing from Moynalty, Dec. 23, says :—" An outrage of • daring character took pleas on Sunday evening last in this neighbourhood. A re spectable farmer named Arthur M'Quade, of Leashes, near Bloynalty, was lying on his bed about seven o'clock in the evening, not being very well, and his wife was preparing some drink for him at the kitchen fire, when a number of men rushed in (she thinks not less than fifteen y en t ide 2teen and presented • pistol to her bread, and &earns. adding to give them at once, or they would take her life. She said she would get them, and retired to the room where her husband was in bed, and called him to get up. In the meantime she laid kild of a Ledge 'Washer, which happened to be near, and ll'Quade got hold of an old cavalry sword. They made such good use of these weapons that the men retreated till they got outside the door, when one man caught Yrs. ll'Quadeksy the hair or the head, and called out to ' Stab her—shoot her.' They would most likely have done so had nut ll'Quade caught hold of her and dragged her inside, and succeeded in closing the door and fastening it. The fellows then tried to hiwilc in the door, but, failing to do to, fired a shot, and left the place. They succeeded in wresting the splaal.er out of Mn.

ABERYSTWITH. Caarerxss Day. Last night, about 8 p.m. (says Mr. John Wil liams), the smack Castle, of this port, bound from Kings ton to Aberystwitb, struck aground and became quite un manageable, the tremendous seas breaking completely o‘cr her. The perilous state of the vessel and her crew soon became evident to every one, and orders were given to launch the Evelyn Wood lifeboat of the National Life oat Institution, to their help, as their cries were plainly and ashore, and were pitiable in the extreme. The boat, after a bard struggle with the fearful breakers, was fairly got off, and soon made its wav to the wreck, and suc ceeded in getting into the lifeboat the crew, three in number, and bringing them ashore in safety, among the hearty cheers of some hundreds of spectators. The vessel is now a complete wreck, and will soon be in fragments. GI eat praise is due to the crew of the lifeboat for their alacrity, and to others for their strenuous exertion in aaisting to get the boat launched, which was done with a will, and at the risk of great personal injury. The crew and spectators are delighted with the conduct of the lifeboat. The cost of the Aberystwith lifeboat, and of two others, has been munificently defrayed by Mrs. B. Wood sister-in-law of the present much-respected Lord Chancellor, who like most members of his family, ha s always been a warm friend of the National Lifeboat I.usti tution and a liberal contributor to its funds. The Royal Mersey Yacht Club has presented to the Lifeboat Institution 7d1., being the amount of the pro ceeds of a bull held in the Club House, Liverpool, in aid of the great and national objects of the institution. The committee of the society have expressed their high appre ciation of this substantial mark of sympathy and support on the part of a club so capable of knowing the great value of the lifeboat work.

SOUTH LORtioN WORKINO-CLASSEN INDUSTRIAL Ituntiraor, 1869.—Ths first general committee meeting of this undertaking was held on Wednesday evening, at the Board-rouns, Lambeth-baths. The Rev. R. Berry in the (Id!. John leas, Fee-, QC., M.P., one of the vice presidents, was also present. After the routine badness had been gone through, Mr. Locke inquired as to the establishment of a guarantee fund, the holding of district meet and as to the general prospects of ths exhibition. In y, one of the Honorary Secretaries (Mr. Murphy) undoubtedly some few meetings would be held in different localities of the south early in the year; but it had been thought unnecessary to ask any gentlemen become guarantors this time, as the two previous exhibi tions had both returned a handsome profit for prima, and the prospects of neither of them were as encouraging as these of the present one at so early a stage. In reply to another question, Mr. Murphy said that nea rly , one hundred woiting-men's exhibitions had been :Ad tiled the first one in the Lambeth-baths in 1864, and that he had supplied rules and other information to about seventy of them. The exhibitions at Glasgow and Birmingham had, he believed, nalised the largest pecuniary profit. ENOINEERING PROJECTS FOR UNITING LIVER POOL 4UfD BIZIENIZEAD.--Sinoe the project of tunneling the Mersey, explained by Sir Charles Fox at • meeting held in Liverpool the other day, has been before the public, Mr. J. Patterson, the president of the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce, has received a communication from Mr. Grainger (ono of the former members of the Chamber, but now residing in London), broaching a scheme for increasing the deck accommodation and bridging the Mersey by utilising the existing forming, in fact, Wands of docks and warehouser an using the red sandstone which forms indisputably the bed of the river as foundations for the warehouses and for abutments of bridges. He contends that the naviga tion would not be interfered with, as tidal bridges might be used, while the scour of the river would be quick ened, and the water at the dock sills deepened. EVASION OF THE PA.CTORY ACT.—At the Salford Town-hall, on Wednesday, Joseph Fletcher was charged by Yr. Cols, inspeotor of factories, with neglecting to mod his son, Joseph Fletcher, to shod whilst employed in a cotton &day, the boy being under the age of 13 years. Mr. Cole dated that the ease showed • peculiar, but not 11110010111014 system of fraud. On the 9th November he visited the mill, where the boy was eta- Lloyed as • full-tiger, and being stack with os:tiraci °llgr o t girth which was aPPaa prod r u al ca ant which made it appear that he was nearly fifteen years of apt, h resat. Cole) wee induced to make inquiries. The was that he ascertained that the defendant had bad two children of the same name —one born in Yank 186 i, and the boy _in question who was born in Deedialed 1114. This led his to see that a fraud which wee dlea readied in the factory dis tricts was predicable be. namely, that the child born in 1864 having fief, ember being born was registered f ender the sane Sams, and the aaerndd ffatte of birth of the t-ligne mud le in work for the other as a all- timer when under age obta . This proved to be the case, f the child bona in 1864 having died at the age of nine nisathe, and the oartifloste of its birth having beim need as he had said. Mr. Ashton, manager for Mesta Scales, said it was the mother who prodeced the adllcate to him, and upon his remer kiag that the lad was very small for his age, she said, Tu. we used to keep a shop and aell tobacco ; and he took the toUieu, and chewed it, and that kept him from growing. (Laughter.) The witness also proved that the - boy Ead not been attending school ; thatlis was a " full-tinter," who had obtained work by bringing a false certificate. Mr. Cole represented that he did not pun for . l4 . lSt penalty ; and as the defendant was a roan paralytic, Mr. Trafford inflicted a penalty of VIC - a casts only. Hs, however, told Ida that for uttering the false certificate of birth he was liable to be sent to penal servitude. OsiItIBALDI'S MANIZEBTO. The Roman correspondent of the Tablet saps : " Mazzini's manifesto of last week has been suc ceeded by one from Garibaldi, in which ha informs his friends and brethren of the approach of another crisis. 'Let the patriots number their ranks, organise themselves, and hold themselves in readiness. AS soon u the republic shall be proclaimed at Madrid, we intend to act throughout the peninsula, and overthrow a king whose hesitations fetter and retard tho free march of the nation. The republicans, supported by the people, will only stop at the Capitol.' This (adds the writer) is plain quaking, and catholic. will do well to lay to heart the warning that has been given them." RABBIT SHOOTING. (From the Loodenfterime.) We once heard a Euckinghamshire farmer relitve his mind on the subject of rabbits, and he con cluded by saying, " I wish there was but one rabbit in the world, and that I had hold of him by the hind-legs." What would have become of that solitary rabbit we shudder to think. Certainly his chance of dis porting himself of a summer evening among the young corn would have been smalL Admitting the great damage done by rabbits compared with that done by winged game, still the rabbit is of infinite use to the preserver of game. lie protects the more valuable pheasant from the foxes, and be helps wonderfully to swell the return at the end of a day's cover-shooting. lie is a remarkably jo lly e playful little fellow, too. Watch him in the twit tas hop out of his hole, and between each jump nib b les a bit of young clover, ten sib up on his find-legs look ing about him, washes his face, stamps upon the ground, and then chases one of his friends and neighbours in a circle over the green. It would be • shame to im prove him off the face of the earth. However, of that there is little likelihood. Even in some parts of Australia he has increased and multiplied to such an extent as to have become a serious nuisance. There are two ways of rabbit shooting pure and simple : the one with ferrets, which is by no means a livel occupation in cold weather, the rabbits generally decl i ning to bolt from their holes with sufficient rapidity, unless, as • warrener once told us, " the sign is in their tow," w hic h we believe had some vague reference to Old Moore's Almanaek ; and the other with beagles in the open. Of all delightful enjoyments on • frosty Chrhinam-dim eimiseend us to this sport. It com bines hunting and iseeftg; there is hard running for theirs who like it, and there is plenty of opportunity for exercising judgment by Son who prefer that their heads should save their heals. What can be more when the ground hi hard with frost and the hunters confined to walking exercise, than to find owedf on a broad Surrey heath with a light breechloader, three friends, and Ave or six couples of beagles? There are but few earths, and those few are stopped, so that the. rabbit when found rune almost like a hare. With two guns on either side of the keeper who hunts dogs, the draw begins ; soon one of them gives tonve, and a moment after the whole mlao . inaLt, then let Mose who can run keep with the • The heather is so high and so close that until t . seMWis . tired out he can seldom be seen ,• but aa he gets beaten he is less careful to shelter hisself, and a shot rewards the to he up at the time.

' There is another advantage attending this amuse ment—every man is allowed to make as much noise as he pleases, he can cheer on the dogs, encourage the diligent and admonish the skulker, without fear of a reprimand. There is no autocrat of the hunting-field here, before whose strong language he must stand guiltily route should his enthusiasm have got the better of his dis cretion ; but every man does that which is right in the sight of his own eyes. Of rabbit as an amemory to'other shooting little need be said. Every one knows bow dull many a good day's cover-shoot Mg would have been had the rabbits been eliminated, and bow a few rabbits lying in the open on a frosty day increase the pleasure of wild rough sport. A shot every quarter of an hour is needful to keep up the eadtement and to prevent the attendee hom deggig, and towards the end of the semen this would not be got without the rabbit.

A PLAGUE-STRICKEN CREW.—This week the schooner Julia Ellen, belonging to Mr. Duckitt, mer chant, of Preston, arrived at Liverpool, bringing informa tion of a melancholy disaster which had befallen her crew while off the coast of Sierra Leone. It appears that the Julia Ellen, under the command of Captain Edward Rymer of Preston, left Liverpool on the 17th June.having on board a general cargo, it reached its destination, Sierra Leone and Shark°, all safe,making a speedy voyage. On the 7th of September it left Sierra Leone for the homeward voyage, taking one passenger. The vessel bad only been two days out at sea, when Captain Rymer was attacked with the black fever. Being an abstemious man. and having n good knowledge of medi cine, he succeesfully warded off the malady for a few days, but succumbed at het, and died on the 17th. He was buried a few hours afterward", when it was discovered that the disease was spreading among the remainder of the crew. The mate, a man named Powell, who had been attacked shortly before the captain's death, died directly afterwards, and two others of the crew became dan gerously ill. There were then only the passenger. a black sailor, and a boy left in health, and the paescager presently fell ill. Feeling certain that he too world fall a victim to the disease, and that his remaining in the schooner might cause the two remaining healthy persons to be stricken, he jumped overloud and sank to the bottom. The schooner then sailed back to Sierra Leone the two of the crew suffering were put in the hospital, where they lay on the point of death. The authorities, on seeing that the crew was thus reduced to the black man and the boy referred to, fur nished the schooner with Captain Thomas Patterson Lowe and • black crew, who have brought the vessel back. Several of the unfortunate men have left relatives in this country, who on Wednesday visited the schooner, looking after the effects of their deceased friends. Captain Edward Rymer belonged to Preston, where he leaves a widow and two boys. He was • sober and intelligent seaman. and much PIRACY IN Tli r n e rC e ltlC.—Captain E. F. Nye, of the wheat, chip William Retch, writes to the lionolule ddrertimr--" About the end of January or the Ist of February, lfifie, the Prussian barque Cayaltil, sailing under American colours, left Callao, the principal port of Peru, for Arequipa, distant about two days' sail, with a cargo of fifty coolies, which had just been =portal from China in the French ship Proeidenzia, now in this part. The owner of the coolies, who was also owner of the vessel and of a sugar estate in Peru, was on board. He had just purchased these labourers for his plantation. and had with him a supply of rice and stores, 20,000 dollars in coin, and other valuables. The morning after leaving Callao the coolies rose upon the unsus pecting crew, captured them, and killed the man at the wheel and the second mate. The captain and the first officer were is their berths asleep, but were soon aroused by the noise. On seg the vessel in possession of the coolies, they threw some benches out of the cabin window and then jumped out, intending to save themselves by swimming ashore. The pirates lowered a boat, pulled for the captain and mate, and killed them both while in the water. They then returned to the ship, took the crew, nine in number, consisting of Americans, Portuguese, Spaniards, tied them each hand and foot, and lashed them to a hawser. They then fastened an Whet to thik hawser ' and threw the whole overboard. Of course, the anclim sank, carrying the men with it to the bottom, and they were drowned. The owner, Mr. Baracondegui, who is well connected in Lima, was left in the cabin with his servant, a faithful Chinaman, who had been with him many years. He was armed with revolvers, and, seeing his weapons, the pirates feared to molest him. The servant boy then In ter ceded with them to spare his own and his master's lives, which they agreed to do on condition that he would deliver up hfs wee to them. This he did after some delay, evidently ha some misgiving about their honesty. They then put e vessel about and ran off before the south east trades, in a north-Treetet :vane for China. , There were four or fi v e r i ng l e aders in the gang, but none appear to have understood navigation. They knew that China was off to the north-west, and that was about all. The voyage across tl4 Pacific, more than 10,000 miles, appears to have been made without seeing tanci Jr vessels. On the let of April they passed the Hurtle Islands into the Ochotak Sea. where the barque ran into the ice and lay for six days, the pirates improving the opportunity to fill thou water casks. They got into clear water on the 23rd of April, and came to anchor off the ' Sand Spit,' in the north east Gulf, on the west shore of the Kamschatka Penin sula. Here they took the owner and his servant ashore, and allowed them to escape ; and after travelling &l the coast for about 30 miles they arrived at a small settlement, where they found provisions, and remained till a whaler hove in sight. Mr. Barsoondegui was offered a Caeto Honolulu by Captain Hamilton, of the Sea rit and his servant was taken on board the Hercules, both of which vessels will be here in • few days. Soon after the owner and his servant were set ashore, the piratical craft weighed anchor and 'mat to sea, stending of to westward with • stiff east wind. She has not been heard from since, and_is supposed to have been wreaked in same part of the Ottk Sea. The dm ringleaders divided half their prise money (20,000 dole.) among thala mi's', 2,000 doh. bo each, and the remainder was divided amomg ffse rest, 46 in number, 222 doh. to each.
