ON TRUE and FALSE SPERMATORRHCEA ; with the View to the Correction of wide-spread Errors in relation to the Treatment and Cure of Sufferers from De bility of the Generative system, or Sexual Hypochrondriasie. Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD. " Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent practical contributions to German medical literature. This is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to correct."--London Medical Gazette. " The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers from this distressing malady by translating this little book, and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhcea and the various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of the malady."—Medical Circular. " We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ; but th• moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places It within the reach of every one interested in the matter."— Dublin Medical Press.

The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DU BA FtßY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING RE VA • LENTA ARABTCA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining 'Alfred Ilooper Nevill, and his agents, under a penalty of £6,000, from selling any article resembling* or being a colourable imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now, therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction.

Yesterday, at the weekly meeting of the repre sentatives of the vestry of St. Pancras, held at the vestry hall, Camden-town—Mr. Churchwarden Cameron in the chair—the report of the committee appointed to investigate the circumstances which had led to the resignation of the master of the workhouse was read. It stated that in their opinion there was nothing in the case, in reference to which the master had tendered his resignation, or in the resolution of the directors, which rendered it need ful for the master to resign ; and recommended the vestry to allow the master to withdraw his tendered resignation, and advised him to do the same. A copy of the resolution having been read, the master, Mr. Winlo, handed in the following, addressed to the vestry : "TO THE CHAIRMAN AND VESTRY OF ST. ?ANCRAS. " St. Pancras Workhouse, Oct. 12. " Gentlemen,—l most respectfully adopt the advice of the chairman and committee appointed by the vestry to inquire into the circumstances connected with my resignation, an d therefore beg to withdraw my letter of the 4th instant re signing the situation of master (and matron) of the work house. " During the time I have been in the service of the vestry under the board of directors of the poor I have endeavoured to carry out the rules laid down for my guidance to the best of my ability. Aided by the matron, I have tried to raise the moral standard of the people whom circumstances have placed under me, by softening the ills of poverty as much as in my power to the deserving poor. Feeling discipline necessary to good order, cleanliness, and the well-conduct ing so large an establishment, I have availed myself of it to show a marked distinction between the well-conducted and the disorderly ; to endeavour to win some, if possible, over to their true interest ; and it is a satisfaction to me to think my services are appreciated. I beg most respectfully to tender my best thanks to the vestry for appointing a com mittee of inquiry, and again place my best energies and judgment at their service to carry out the duties of master of the workhouse under the directors of the poor ; and am, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, " GEORGE W. WINLO, Master." On the motion of Mr. Churchwarden FURNESS the report was received and adopted; and the ves try, after other business, adjourned. CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. The Commissioners of Sewers met on Tuesday a' Guildhall—Mr. Deputy Christie in the chair. VENTILATION OF SEWERS. A report came up from the General Purposes Committee on this subject, proposing that the re commendations of the medical officer of health and the engineer, for fixing charcoal purifiers in the air-shafts of the principal sewers, as well as in the pipe-shafts, to be carried up above the houses from others, should be adopted, at an estimated expense of £7OO, as an experiment, in the east districts of the City, The report was agreed to. SANITARY CONDITION OF THE CITY. The mortality returns for the week are a little above the average of the last 11 years, the number of deaths having been 48, and of these 22 were among young children and 10 among old persons of 60 and upwards. About one-third of the deaths were from diseases of a chronic character. Thirteen were from phthisis and other tubercular diseases, and seven from the convulsions of infancy. Of the zvmotic class there were three deaths from fever, five fr . om scarlatina, one from small-pox, three from diarrhoea and dysentery, one from hooping-cough, and one from croup ; in all 14 deaths from this class of affections. Eighty births were registered during the week, namely, 39 boys and 41 girls. THE PAPAL STATES. A letter from Ferrara, dated October 7, says : I was at supper last evening in the public room of St. Mark's Inn at Lugo. At the various tables were seated natives from almost every part of these, his Holiness's late dominions. The exchange of a word or two from one table to another led to a conver sation, which according to the manners of these remarkably sociable and communicative Italian people, soon bname general. Lugo is a thriving trading place, and its fair is renowned througout the Legations. The men around me were chiefly farmers or mercers, but some of them belonged to a class whose intelligence bad received a somewhat superior development. After a few trivial remarks the conversation took what is now the general turn of all talk throughout Italy—it turned ipon politics. The confidence of all these people in their deliver ance from priestly rule was only commensurate with the intense hatred which they ill expressed against it. I thought I would tempt them, and ventured to hint that, " happen what might," most assuredly the Legations would secure for themselves a separate secular administration, "even" if they were made again to acknowledge the supremo authority of the Pontiff. There was no anger in their answer, no displeasure at my unwelcome suggestion. They spoke in the voice:of deep-settled, immoveable determination. There was to be no even," no " happen what might." Their emane; ,ation from thepriests was 'final and irrevocable, sot subject to any human contingency. " You see, Sir," said one, a student from Forli, " the population of the four Legations is above a million. One-half of that number would have to perish before any human power suc ceeded in re-establishing the Papal sway over the other hilt: People talk very awfully about the horrors of war, but what is that to civil war ? The passions of these, people are pent up and kept within control by tt e holy hope that jus tice may be done; but only let Austria, or any other big, bullying Power, attempt to trample us down, and you will see what sends would then be unchained. I would not give two bajocchi for the life of the merest priestling throughout the land. The conduct of the clergy has put our patience to the severest test. In one place the arciprete has been made to sing a Te Dewn by quiet and pri vate, but positive, threats against hi s lif e . •At Forli we laymen had to officiate ourselves. At Bologna it was an army chaplain (a reprobate as he is held at Rome) who exercised his sacred ministry in defiance of excommunication. In many a town not a mass was said last Sunday. In some places the priests won't do it; in others we won't let them. There is mortal enmity—silent hostility —between us and them, sure to break out into the most savage, bloody, open warfare, if any over whelming force shall take up their cause against us. There is reason and method in all our appa rent calmness, in this admirable order to which we have bound ourselves We are all of one mind. We do not move a single step without the most perfect understanding. We are like a pack of hounds on the leash. Woe to those who shall dare to let Rs loose ! Let the world judge of our stern resolution from our present moderation and self control." There was a small merchant from Ponte Lago- Seuro, near Ferrara, seated at my elbow. He nodded his head at every word that fell from the young Forlivese student, and when the latter had done he took up the subject in the following strain : " Is there anything we have left undone in the way of conciliation and compromise ? Travel over the land, and you will see at, every step the arches and other ,monuments set up for the reception of Pius IX during his late pro gress throughout these provinces, twd years ago. We were willing to overlook the last 10 years and to hail the mild, benevolent Pontiff, who had inau gurated his reion'with his holy ejaculation, Bene dite' o Dio, I' We were ready to renounce the Mazzinian demagogues who had driven him from his see ; to allow much for the terror he had undergone, for the evil foreign influences under which his throne had been again set up. We were willing, Heaven knows! to throw all the blame of his misgovernment wpon his false advisers ; we trusted that he had only to come and see and hear us, to be able to judge between us and our oppres sors. The Pope came, and saw, and what did he do or say for us ? Why, all his political acts were limited to the pardon of a common forger ; for the rest, he gave us only his blessing, and what good did his blessing do for us ? Why, the winter after his visit the Po was frozen several feet thick—an event for which there had been no precedent for the last five centuries, and all our trade and inter course, our boats and mills were stopped ; and in the ensuing autumn we had flood and freshets ravaging our richest fields. Most certainly that is the blessing these priests would fain impart to us. All their drift is to make us poor an d i gnoran t. So that we forego all industry and education we are sure enough of their favour. The nearer you go to Rome the plainer you perceive the state of the popu lation which the priests approve as the beau ideal of a Christian nation. They want us of the Lega tions to be one-third beggars, like the rabble of the Trastever and the Borgo. With God's help, however, we have baffled them yet, and will dis appoint them in the end. We want to be edu cated and working men. Look round on these blessed plains—the richest in God's creation — we have rescued them from swamps and morasses. Our Ferrarese valleys (the low marshy flats are so called are smiling with corn an d r i ce planta tions. The lands want no manure, they only want draining and levelling, and this we have done, and are doing, by the sweat of our brow, and no thanks to the Pope. All we now re quire is progress and improvement in our agricul tural system. We want roads and railroads, free intercourse with more advanced nations, an outlet for our surplus produce. Can we get this from the Pope or his priests ? Can we obtain it for ourselves under their yoke ? Behold, the first railway from Piacenza to Bologna was only opened yesterday, when the priests were gone. As soon as they are gone, even while we are in the throes of revolution and war, the lines from Bologna to Ravenna, Rimini, and Ferrara are being rapidly surveyed. Behold what ten years' freedom has done for Pied mont ! In 1848 Piedmont had net four miles of railway; now it rivals France, Belgium, and Ger many; and the lines made and kept up by Govern ment yield 20,000 or 30,000 to the public Trea sury. Who would not be a Pie dmontese ? Friends and gentlemen, I say,--' Down with the priests, and long live Italy and our King Victor Emmanuel ?' " There was no standing the plain but stringent eloquence of the good mercer, and I joined in the hurrah with all my might. We parted, all great friends, late in the evening, and I went to bed with firm faith in the portentous re-awakening of this down-trodden people. We have a fog-L-a white fog—in Ferrara this morning, a pheiomenon to which this city, owing to the vcinity of a great river, is as frequently liable as London itself. Dull as it must be in the finest wea ther, Ferrara looks perfectly dead under a lowering atmosphere. The impression of these long, broad, silent streets, especially in the modern or " Hercu lean" part of the town, is perfectly overpowering. The Tuscan and othe r hoops who were quartered here have all left ; and Ferrara, like Ravenna, is uow inhabited by its usual blank desolation, The very mendicants have decamped. About 20,000 souls (1,500 of them Jews) move about in an area 8 miles in circuit. There is no grass growing in the streets, and I shrewdly suspect the - citizens, wounded at the reputation of " grass-grown city," by which their town was designated, keep purposely weeding and tearing it up by the roots ; but the sadness which dwells on its houses and monuments is truly heartrending. We have here, as the poet describes it—" Una mestizia die ti piomba al core " (" Solitude has charms in the country, for it is God haunted ; but a city is intolerable without man, who made it.") Will revolutions and annexations ever give back their former life to these spectre cities of Lombardy and the iEmilia ? The ques tion is not easily answered, for the towns are the only things that are dead in the country, and the citizens, particularly of the better classes, the only things that are idle. Can merely an-ricultural pur suits give prosperity and lustre to the place, where landowners congregate to consume the fruits of their labourers' toil; or will those slothful proprie tors take a more active interest in the soil which feeds them, and turn to better purposes its inex haustible resources ? Ravenna has been the me tropolis of the Western]. Empire ; Ferrara, the residence of an ambitious, grasping, splendour loving dynasty. What they have been they can Never be again ; and are all chances of a different existence forbidden them for the diet whatbhl dae f e future u as tr r lt ovi e e a? of swhf aoeF l sn t ehe w rear a rat s rhla a y strange sight to me to see the Cross of Savoy hang ingsiNuponaeestdtoei victorious, o:u, a son:tdbh strong trleoaornlfrwtgayar mansion sa o h r nra t usr a i dd l o s elnya o ony f f magni ficenceOnlyt a acclimatized e t lo h i fm r three tl z c r e e e centuries while l e: a y, ago asnad t v h op e yl E yne s od t w e t hrr ruined, humblest u l e l dm e ,dbnitoehwset. part in that princely retinue which swelled the pageantry of Charles V. at his coronation ; and now, behold the heritage of Este and Medici —nay, of the Visconti, Gonzaga, Farnese, and other minor hoases, will go to make up patches for that Savoy mantle which will almost equal an empire in its power, and to accomplish that mission in which Gothic, Grecian, Longobardio, and the various German monarchies failed—the union of a really Italian State. May Heaven give it good speed, and may the greatness of Savoy be for these half-ruined provinces what it has been for Piedmont and Genoa —the harbinger of peace and prosperity, of enlight ened freedom and equitable justice ! May there be life enough in the new State to galvanise these poor corpse cities of Ravenna and Ferrara. 7HE NAVY. Commander H. R. Raby, V.C. (Victoria Cross), esterday went down to Woolwich and took up Ills 'commission to command her Majesty's iron paddle-wheel steam Vessel Weser, 6, ordered for ser vice to the River Plate. Her Majesty's iron paddle-wheel steamvessel An telope, 3, Lieut. Commander J. W. Pitre, from the West Coast of Africa, having returned stores and dismantled, was yesterday paid off at Woolwich, and is ordered to undergo the necessary survey with a view of being repaired and recommissioned. One of Bray's traction engines, denominated the "steam horse," manufactured by Mr. Taylor, of Birkenhead, for special use to supersede the em ployment of teams of horses in the removal of tim ber and other materials, ordered by the Board of Admiralty for service in the dockyard, Woolwich, steamed down from London yesterday morning and reached the dockyard at half-past 12, having started from London-bridge at 11. The committee of offi cers, appointed to receive the engine on behalf of Government, accompanied by Mr. H. D. Davies, Mr. 0, Osborn, Mr, C. Simeon, directors, and Mr. Hanson, secretary of Bray's Traction' Engine Com pany, having assembled in one of the unoccupied areas selected for the trial ground, the " steam horse" was brought forward under the perfect con trol of the helmsman and engineer. It .was then tested at various rates of speed, and was driven re peatedly round, forming. a circle of about 60 feet in circumference. It afterwards proceeded along the principal thoroughfare of the yard at a speed of eight or ten miles per hour, and was subsequently handed over to the authorities. The engine, unlike any for mer one, is fitted with carriage springs, to reduce the amount of friction, which would otherwise.be considerable, from the effect of the stony and uneven roads over which it is destined to travel. A couple of trucks, intended to be attached to the engine, are in course of construction, and when completed will be applied to the daily use of the yard. The following line-of-battle and other vessels are now attached to the • reserve ordinary in the Med way, not including the steam reserve squadron at Sheerness and Chatham—viz., the Monarch, 84 ; the Superb, 80; the Collingwood, 80; the Lean der, 50 ; the Warspite, 50 ; the President, 50 ; the Winchester, 50 ; the Vernon, 50 ; the Nankin, 50 ; the Gloucester, 50 ; the Isis, 44 ; the Mer cury, 42 ; the Diana, 42 ; the Latona, 42 ; the Active, 40 ; the Castor,, 36; the Diamond, 27 ; tha Cleopatra, 26 ; the Vestal, 26 ; the Trin comalee, 24 ; the Brilliant, 20; the Dwdalus, 20; the Terpsichore, 18 ; the Daphne, 18 ; the Frolic. 16; the Jumna, 16; the Coitus, 14; the Electra, 14; the Kangaroo, 12 ; the Mariner, 12 ; the Fantome, 12 ; the Despatch, 12 ; the Daring, 12 ; the Alba tross, 12; the Childers, 12; the Arab, 12 ; the Belleisle, 6 ; the Scorpion, 6 ; the Tyne, 4 ; and the Dolphin, 3. The Turkish line-of-battle ship Shadia, 96, Capt. Mustapha Bey, which arrived at Plymouthin the fall of last year, for the purpose of being supplied with steam machinery and a screw, has just been com pleted at Keyham yard, and is now nearly ready to return to Constantinople. Her engines, by Messrs. R. Napier and Sons, of Glasgow, were erected in the ship by Mr. Geo. Brown, they are what are termed horizontal trunks in condensers, and are of 650-horse power. The screw is two bladed. On the 6th inst. she went from Plymouth Sound to the Eddystone and back, when the machinery worked very satis factorily. On Monday she took her official trial trip under the kervision of Mr. John Trickett, chief engineer at Plymouth. The ship was in charge of Mr. W. H. Thompson, the Queen's Har bour Master. She ran over the measured mile eight times at an average speed of 10 knots, revolutions 57 per minute, pressure, 201 b. ; pitch of screw, 23 feet, and indicated power exerted, 2,300 horses. The engines continued to work satisfactorily, and there was no exhibition of hot bearings. Mr. John Campbell will be her chief engineer. Mr. Eyres, upholsterer, of Plymouth, has been some time en gaged in fitting a magnificent saloon on board, for the Sultan and his suite. The following screw steam-ships, forming part of the Channel fleet, in Plymouth Sound, were ordered on Tuesday to prepare for sea immediately, viz. the Donegal, 101, Captain William F. Glanville ; the Emerald, 50, Capt. Arthur Cumming; the Mel pomene, 50, Capt. Charles J. F. E wart ; the Mersey, 40, Capt. Henry Caldwell, C. B. ; the Algiers, 91, Capt. George W. D. O'Callaghan ; the Hero, 81, Capt. George H. Seymour; and the Aboukir, 90, Capt. Charles S. Schoenberg. The Nile and Mel pomene will probably go to the West Indies, and the Hero to Vancouver's Island. The screw steam -corvette Pearl, 21, Capt.Bor lase, C. 8., left Plymouth on Monday night for China. As she passed through the Sound her crew was cheered most lustily by the crews of the Channel fleet. The screw steam-frigate Imperieuse, 51, Captain Maguire, left Plymouth on Tuesday for China. The lighter Tortoise, J. Head, master, from Kings town, arrived on Tuesday at Plymouth, and the lighter Devon, Bowett, master, sailed therefrom for Pembroke. The screw steam-frigate Topaze, 51, Captain Spencer, left Plymouth on Tuesday for Vancouver's Island. The screw ste m-ship Revenge, 91, Chief Engi neer Frederick J. Pope, will go into Ke3 ham basin, Plymouth, to-day to have her fan shipped. The gun-boat Redwing went outside Plymouth Sound on Tuesday for shell practice. The gun-boat Weasel, at Plymouth, took in her powder on Wednesday. The Adelaide screw transport, Captain Bowen, sailed from Spithead with the 60th Rifles on board, for Waterford, at 7 a.m. yesterday. The Bacchante, 51, new screw frigate, at Ports mouth, has been pla ce d i n N o. 8 d oc k, for copper ing, &C. The Mars, 80, screw, Capt. J. N. Strange, at Spit head, got under weigh yesterday morning for a cruise in the Channel, and proceeded as far as the Warner light vessel, but the wind falling light with thick weather, and the tide setting in against her, she put back and brought up again at Spithead. A division of gunboats consisting of the Brazen, Beaver, Partridge, Rainbow, Snapper, and Travel ler, under command of Capt. A. Farquhar, of her Majesty's ship Victory, proceeded out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday under steam, and after steaming through Stokes' Bay and down the western chan nel, returned to harbour again in the afternoon. The Beagle, 6, Commander E. Hay, proceeded to the measured mile in Stokes' Bay to test her speed. She realised 91 knots. At the conclusion of the trial she steamed into Portsmouth harbour and berthed alongside the Blonde hulk. The Odin, 16, paddle, Capt. Lord J. Hay, C. 8., steamed out of Portsmouth harbour yesterday to test her machinery. She will require some slight alterations. Her stokehole, we understand, was fearfully hot during the time she was under steam, the thermometer ranging over 130. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty :—Commander H. J. Baby, to the Weser, commissioned ; J. Pyper, master, ad ditional, to the Cumberland; and R. Winkfield, acting naval instructor, to the Britannia. TILE ABM]: Lieut.-Gen. Sir J. L. Pennefather, K.C.8., late Governor and Commander-in-Chief at Malta, has arrived in town from the Continent, and will forth with succeed Lieut.-Gen. Sir H. G.W. Smith,Bart., G.C.8., in the command of the northern districts. On Monday afternoon the Duke of Cambridge visited Sheffield for the purpose of inspecting the 84th Regiment, recittly returned from India. His Royal Highness was accompanied by Major-Gen. Foster, Col. Wilbrahatn, Deputy Adjutant-General of the district ; Col. Clifton, A.D.C., and Col. Hamilton, of the Royal Engineers. After mi nutely inspecting the condition of the men, his Royal Highness a dd resse d t h e reg i ment i n very flattering terms on their excellent appearance— than which, he said, nothing could be better—so soon after their return from India, where during the late rebellion they had gone through more hardship than alFost any other regiment, having been the first to take the field and the last to leave it. His Royal Highness afterwards inspected the barrack rooms, hospital, &c., and having lunched PRICE 4D. STAMPED, SD. with the officers, proceeded by train to Manchester in the evening, to inspect other regiments. On Tuesday last the 9th Lancers, now stationed at Exeter, were inspected by Major-General Hut chinson, the newly-appointed. Commandant of the western district. The barracks were visited, an I after a minute examination Alajor.General Hut chinson expressed himself much pleased with their condition. To-day (Thursday) the regiment will be entertained at a public dinner by the citizens of Exeter. The Mayor will preside, the High Sheriff acting as vice-president. There is also to be a short special. service at the cathGdral immediately before the lianqUet. On Monday 4 officers arid 132 non-commissioned officers and privates, and 107 horses belonging to the 13th Dragoons embarked on board the Iberia steamship, at the Northwall, Dublin, for Glasgow, and thence to Edinburgh, where the regiment will he stationed until further orders. Detachments of the Royal Marine Light Infantry have left Woolwich during the past few days in draughts ranging from 30 to 160 for service in China. Yesterday a draught of 50 trained recruits, having been inspected by the Colonel commanding the division, departed for Plymouth for similar service. In addition to the Survey of the marshes between Rochester and Gravesend, the authorities at the War-office have directed Col. W. 'Williams, tho comManding Royal Engineer at Chatham, to exa mine several other localities in the neighbourhood of Chatham, in order.that a selection may be made of a spot which presents the best advantages for being converted into w rifle range for the nse of the troops of the Line, the Royal Engineers, and the Royal Marines belonging to that garrison. Yesterday both regipients of Essex Militia were disembodied after three weeks' training and exercise. The Essex Rifles, which have been assembled at Colchester, have mustered 23 officers, 27 sergeants, 9 buglers, and 491 privates. The West Essex Re giment, which has been lying at Chelnisford, is about 459 strong. The half-yearly inspection of the Ist Stafford Militia took place yesterday on Southsea-common by Sir James York Scarlett, K.C.8., commanding south-west district. DESPERATE ENCOUNTER WITII CON VICTS ON BOARD SIIIP. (From the Overland Bombay Standard, Sept. 10.) The story of the Ararat, now in Bombay harbour, would have satisfied us when, in our schoolboy days, we thought nothing more inspiring than such " Tales of the Sea," as narrated the bloody deeds of pirates, and the righteous retribution that some times overtook them. The Ararat is a bark of 290 tons, owned by Hajee Saleb Mahomed Arbee, of Bombay, and commanded by Capt. J. M. Correya. On the 30th of January last Elle left Bombay with convicts for Penang and Singapore. Having landed the men, and disposed of hie cargo, the captain tendered and was accepted for convicts for Bombay, 12 of whom were ready for deportation from Singapore, and as many from Penang. Just as the vessel was ready to leave, Captain Correya was informed that he might have a batch of pirates, the Esk having brought them in. It Seems that, shortly before the Ararat's arrival at Singapore, complaints had been made of two piratical junks prowling about the China Seas, and the steamer Hooghly, of her Majesty's Indian Navy, Captain Wright, was sent after them. Coming up with (them among the islands, the steamer's boats were:sent in chase, but on coming within range of the kinks' guns, each vessel carrying 10 or 12 6 to 12-pounders, they were met by such a fire as corn : pelled them to return. The, Hooghly's armament consisting of only two six.p.ounders, the captain did not think himself justified in proceeding further in , the matter, and steamed back to Singapore. On his report, her Majesty's steamer Esk, Captain Sir It. Maclure, was despatched in search, with the mate,of the Hooghly as a guide, and was happily sureeesful. On the junks catching sight of the Esk, there being men on board them who were well up as to her armament, discretiOn was thought to be the better part of valour. A boat was lowered, withlsome fellows who Gould speak a little English, and pulled for the Esk. On coming on board they showed Sir Robert a Singapore port clearance, in ballast. But Sir Robert being far too old a salt to allow any one to be put on his tail, coolly gave the order to " Go a-head." In a twinkling the Esk was alongside the junks, the crews were taken onboard, a draught to each junk made from the Esk, and the gallant vessel, with the junks in tow, steamed away for Singapore. These were the fel lows whom Captain Correya was told he might have in addition to the ordinary convicts. They were tried on shore, 52 in number, by a special session, two being acquitted and the remainder sentenced to transportation to Bombay, some for 15 years, some for life. On the judge passing sentence they assured him that if , they got an opportunity on the voyage they would not fail to take advantage of it and murder every soul on board. They would rather be hanged at once than transported. With these 50 pirates on board, 12 ordinary con victs, a guard of 15 European Madras Artillerymen and eight Sepoys of the Marine Battalion, the Ararat left Singapore on the 19th of June, and ar rived at Penang in the evening of the 24th. 12 convicts were here added to the gang, making 74 in all. The Ararat left Penang in the evening of the 25th, a junk leaving at the same time, and doing her best to keep up with the ship. Captain Cor reya, not liking the a pp earance o f thi ngs, d o d ge d his satellite, and finally lost sight of the craft on the evening of the 27th. A few hours later the Ararat was some 60 miles from Penang. The 28th broke gloomily, very dark, and sharp gusts of wind. At 245 the captain ordered the mate to set top-gallant-sails if the weather should clear, and lay down again on the poop. His rest was of short du ration. Ten minutes later he was aroused by a noise, such an one as wakens a man broadly in an instant. The noise, a crash as of something giving way, followed by a shout, startled the mate also as he was standing by the break of the poop. There was no doubt as to the cause—the convicts had bro ken loose. Quick as thought, the captain leaped to the deck and brought his arms—a revolver and two pistols—from the cabin. The mate as instantly aroused the guard, at the same time hailing the sentry forward, but received no reply. He remained by the night-guard muskets until the guard turned out, before which the captain's revolver spoke from the poop. The captain on reaching the deck could just discern that the convicts were making their way aft. They had advanced as far as the stern of the long-boat when he fired into them. Still they came on, a tumultuous rush, yelling like fiends, and heaving before them blocks, hand-spikes, holystones, firewood, curry-stuff grinders—anything, in fact, they could lay hands on. Captain Correya was severely struck by some of these missiles, as were also several of the guard, who had by this time joined the captain (the crow, Lascars and Spaniards, being, altogether without arms, having made their way into the rigging) on the poop. The gal lant party had no thought, however, of acting on the defensive, but jumping to the quarterdeck commenced a hand-to-hand fight with the scoun drels. Both the captain and guard fired into them as fast as they could load, using also their cutlasses and bayonets to keep them at bay. They had desperate men to deal with. No sooner was a mus ket fired than a rush was made upon it before it could be reloaded, but in no instance did they i suc ceed in wrenching it from the grip that held t for life or death. One bayonet was their only spoil. During the whole time they kept u p a shower of the missiles described above, and it is only won derful that more mischief was not done by them. Inch by inch, however, the captain and his party gained ground, advancing purposely with caution, lest from behind the water casks a rush might be made upon them, and their arms—their salvation —be seized. And here we have to record an in stance of courage as rare as heroic. Some 10 minutes or so after the outbreak, amid an uproar as if of hell let loose, arising from men who were thirsting for blood, the captain's wife took her part in the fray, by loading and continuing to reload her husband's pistols, and passing them up from the cuddy skylight. A s eac h h atc h was gained it was seized by the guard and fastened down. After an hour's hard fighting the convicts were driven on to the topgallant f orecas tl e , w h ere t h ey were charged with the bayonet and several run through or driven over the bows. Two or three were seen to lay hold of the foretopgallant studding-sail, which was lying on the forecastle, and jump overboard with it. They were shot from the poop and quarterdeck, as well as the darkness permitted their being made out. The deck now being clear, lights were brought— many attempts had been made to get lights during the fight, but as soon as one appeared it was knocked over by the convicts, and the whole work was done in almost solid darkness. The sights which the lights revealed were of the horridest. Here a man with a gashed face, there another cut almost in two, there another riddled with the bayonet, there one—yes, yet living, with four bullets through him. The aspect of the place was that of a slaugh- _ 7 „ /Z A ter-house. tght dead 1144 wei-&, fc g a l a on -d ie forecastle, and three on the main deck, including - the European sentry and Portuguese cook. it wast7-k!-:' now apparent why the sentry had not atiewarid the hail of the mate—the poor fellow was fo=und have been stabbed to the heart. There seems, nn:-; fortunately, to'be no doubt that he had left his pest below, and come on deck, where he iS,aupposed to have fallen asleep, being stabbed without awaken ing even to fire his pistol, which was in his hand as he lay. Had he been at his post, or even awake on deck, alarm might in all probability have been given sufficiently early to have prevented4the con victs gaining-the deck-, gall. The poor cook was shot by accident, being mixed up with the convicts. The carpenter, and an Arab passenger, jumped overheard. The former fell into the bight- of the lee fore sheet, got into the fore chains, and made his way aft. The Arab was never seen again. At daybreak a man was found hanging on to the rudder. A rope being let down he was hauled up, and was found to have:been shot through the leg, On search being made below, five more bodies were found of men who, on receiving enough, had gone below to die. It was found that the convicts had escaped, by cutting through with a knife, of which they had somehow gained possession, a bar of a prison door forward, then partly cutting through the inside partition bar on the port side, which enabled them to burst the door in altogethes. They then shouted the rest in other cells 'to folk*. them, which, with the exception of 14, whom the guard were enabled to keep down, they did. At six the convicts were mustered, when it was found that 28 were dead or missing ---L2B out of 60 who came on deck. The remaining 32, with the exception of three wounded, were treated to three dozen. At half-past :nine the sentries gave the alarm that some of the convicts had slipped their leg irons. The guard was called'and secured them. On overhauling the remainder, it was found that Many of the irons were too large,- and they were accordingly reduced. A welcome sight must Bombay have been to the Ararat. The captain speaks in high terms of the Euro pean sergeants and guard, and of the Marine Bat talion also, the havilder especially singling himself out by his valour. What shall we say of the captain himself ? What would have been the result had he been a man of leas courage and pluck than he showed himself to be ? The vessel would hav e b een t a k en, every soul on board murdered, ,and these desperadoes have found their way to the China Seas again, to the destruction oP—who can say how much life and property ? It is sq very exceptional a case that we doubt not the Chamber of Comnierce will take some notice of it. Capt. Correya has earned for himself a life renown, and should be dealt with in a way be coming this great commercial pert, and a chamber of commercial men. THE LOS'S THE UNITED STAT.E.V STEAMER FULTON. Some interesting particulars of the loss of the Fulton will be found in the following extract from a private letter, dated September 16 :—" The Fulton sailed from Key West on S a t ur d ay last (September 10) for the coast of Cuba. The captain was sick with fever when we' left, as - also • the master and one or two others. On the 12th the captain broke down, but refused to give up com mand among the Cuban reefs. He consented that evening, however, to have the first lieutenant take the ship to Tortugas Islands, the nearest healthy home port. We made for them accordingly ; but the weather began to threaten, and we could get no sights, and were exposed to baffling currents, and did not reach our ports as expected. On the morning of the 14th, in the Gulf Stream, to leeward of the Tor tugas, it began to blow, and was doubtful if we could reach them. It was necessary to batten down hatches to keep out the seas. The lieutenant thought we could reach Pensacola, as the wind was fair for that port ; so, on the evening of the 14th, we kept off for it. The gale increased and became very violent, and we had to scud before it without sights, 14th and 15th. Last night it blew with fury, and the seas were more dangerous. We feared we were nearinc , land, and council w a s h e ld t o decide what t o d o.' It was determined that if the attempt were made to ' lay her to' she would be lost; on the other hand, if there had, been no cur rent we should be more than 100 miles from land, and our best chance was to run on, in the hope of not reaching land before day. In the mid-watch, the gale increasing still, it was again consulted about, and at a quarter before two a.m., while every one was up and anxiously canvassing our fortunes, the vessel slid en shore, in the smoothest and easiest manner possible, upon the sandy beach. When day dawned we were lying broadside to the shore, which was only about 20 yards distant, with a fearful surf beating against us outside. The kind hand of Providence only has saved ns. Not a soul is lost or hurt. We are getting our men and provisions on shore as fast as possible."—Nes. York herald. :~;,~.. 3 IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY. THE DOON MURDER. The O'Briens, aga i nst w h om a rather strong pre s!imptive case existed, have, after several examina tions, been discharged from custody. Without for a moment insinuating now th a t t h ese men were concerned in the murder of Crowe, it may be re marked, in the words of a correspondent, that " nearly all the witnesses who have appeared against the prisoners have been evidently suffering under intimidation, and have given their testimony with anything but the appearance of candour." A local paper, which is eloquent in its abuse of Lord Derby, and never expressed any sympathy for his lordship's murdered tenant, says " Mr. Neil Browne, the resident magistrate, has been constant in his exertions to throw light on this terrible murder ; but he has failed up to this, though all the aid that the police can give has been very freely awarded. The murder was perpetrated within a very short distance of the police barrack." Yes, the police have aided the exertions of Mr. Neil Browne, but the people of the district, dyed with the blood of Crowe, have either held aloof, I or endeavoured to frustrate the search after the murderers. MURDER AND SUICIDE. The followinr , is from the Mayo Constitution of yesterday :—" We regret to have to announce one of the most shocking tragedies that has ever oc curred in this county, which took place yesterday in the vicinity of Balla, which involves a double murder, followed by self-destruction on the part of the murderer. It appears that a man named Kearns, who had been discharged from Mayo prison after an incarceration of seven months for an aggravated assault, heard some unpleasant rumours as to his wife's frailties whilst in prison, whereupon he first attacked her with a hatchet, literally splitting her head. Upon the servant girl coming to her relief she was likewise brutally assaulted. After com mitting these awful deeds the wretched man hung himself. We are only able to give the main facts until an inquest be held on the bodies. We hay. since learned that the women have not yet expired, but there is no possibility of their recovery." THE STRIKE IR THE BUILDING TRADE. The rejection of the propositions recently submitted to the masters' executive committee of the Central Association has, it appears, made the men more united than ever, and active measures are in contemplation to secure a more complete organisation throughout the kingdom to obtain aid for the lock-outs during the continuance of the struggle. The masons, although separated from the confer ence, are greatly disappointed at the manner in which they have been received by the masters, and are determined to have no further communication s w o i c t i h h et t ie e s m. an allowance of i r o ec s e . iN t -e o fi l •o s m s their own . per man weekly, which they c ons id er w ill ena bl e t h em effec tually to resist the masters. No communication was received yesterday from Mr. Ayrton at the Paviors' Arms. A deputation from the operatives on strike in the metropolis attended on Tuesday evening a meet ing of working men in Newcastle, explained the Origin and objects of the strike, and appealed for aid to enable the re c us a nts to hold out until their demands were conceded. Resolutions inimical to the " declaration," and pledging the meeting to render the " turn-outs" pecuniary and other assist ance, were carried unanimously. STRIKE OF LOOMERS, &C., AT BLACKBURN.—In compliance with a resolution passed at a recent meeting of loomers, &c., the operative loomers, heathers, winders, and drawers, employed at the mills of Messrs. Robert Hopwood and Sons, Nova Scotia and Crossfield, and at the mills of Messrs. Joseph Harrison and Co., liighfield, having on Saturday completed their term of notice, and their em ployers refusing to give them the advance of wages, came out on strike. It is, however, expected that they will get the advance and resuine work during the week. At an ad journed meeting of operatives, held at the Montague Arms on Monday night, it was stated that 14 of the largest firms in the town and neighbourhood had already given the ad vance, and that 17 other firms had promised to pay the ad vanced rate of wages on next pay day. In two other esta blishments in the town the operatives were under notice, and would strike work if the advance was not conced f ed : 3 levy of 6d. per frame was ordered in suppor t of %sal rn outs, and the meeting urged them to be Arm in de _re' which oconme had neew struck obtained until they had the p they i riooll for
