Tange of the junks' guns, each vessel carrying 10 or 12 6 th 12-pounders,,they were met by such a fire as' com pelled them -to return. The Ifooghly's armament consisting of only two six-pounderM, 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 R. Maclure, , was despatched in search, with the mate of the Hooghly as a guide, and was happily successful. 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, with some fellows who could 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 on board, 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 Corrpya 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 Marina Battalion, the Ararat left Singapore on the 19th of June, and ar rived at Penng in' the evening of - the 24th. 12 convicts were here added to the gang, s ma,king 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 reyar not liking the appearance of things, dodged 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 Ike was standing by the bresk of the pool); 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 7 gflard 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 crew, 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 mu- , ket fired - than a rush was made upon it before it, could be reloaded, but in no instance did they suc ceed in wrenching it from the grip that held it for life or death. One bayonet was their only. spoil. During the whole -time they, kept up a flower of the missiles described above, and it is only wan 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--atheir 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 uprar 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. As each hatch was gained it was seized by the guard and fastened down. After an hour's bard fighting the convicts were driven on to the topgallant forecastle, where they 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 j amp 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 attemp ts 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 than with a gashed face, there • o.upthep 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 Haugh . ~ l _ ~ ' ThE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 13, 1859. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. NEWMAItKET SECOND OCTOBER MEETING. WEDNESDAY.

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 b2came general. Taigo is a thriving trading place, and its fair is renowned througout the Legations. The men arcaind 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 upon politics. The confidence of all these people in their deliver ance from priestly rule was only commensurate with the intense hatred - which they all 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 supreme 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 emanci pation from the :priests was final and irrevocable, not 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 . h^lf. 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 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 fiends 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 areiprete has been made to sing a 7'e Detem by quiet and pri vate, but positive, -threats against his life. At Forli we laymen had to officiate ourselves. At Bologna it Wll3 an army chaplain (a reprobate as jie 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 N'on't do it ; in others «e 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 adniirable order to which we have bound ourselves We are all of one mind. We do not move a single. step without the most perfect - understan3ing. We are like a pack of hounds on the leash.: - Woe to those who shall dare to let us loose ! Let the world judge of our stern resolutioa from our present moderation and self control." There was a small merchant from Ponte Lago- Sm.°, 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, two years ago. We were willing to overlook the last 10 years and to hail the mild, benevolent. Pontiff; who had inau gurated his reign with his holy ejaculation, Bens dite, o Die, all' Italia ." 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 ea il foreign influences under which his throne had been again set up. We were willing, Heaven knows ! to throw all the blame of his misgovernment upon 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 ; fot 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 and ignorant. 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 prie s ts a pprove as the beau ideal of a Christian nation. Th e y want us of the Lega tions to be one-third beggars, like the rabble of the Trastever and the I3orgo. 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 the from swamps and morasses. Our Ferrarese valleys (the low marshy flats are so called) are smiling with corn and rice 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 not 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 Pi(dmontese ? Friends and gentlemen,ee v long live Italy and our King Victor Emmanuel ?' " 'There standingaY'Down with the priests, and ' the plain but stringent rawas il I s 0 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—a white fog—in Ferrara this morning, a phenomenon 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 other troops who were quartered hero have all left ; and Ferrara, like Ravenna, is now 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 BL-- 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 b y 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 the 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.") revolutions and annexations ever give back their former life to these spectre cities of Lombardy and the .lEmilia ? The ques tion is not easily answered , for th e towns are the only things that are dead in the countr y , and the citizens, particularly of the better classes, the only things that are idle. Can merely agricultural 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, Westerm Empire ; Ferrara, the residence of an ambitious, grasping, splendour loving dynasty. What they have been they can never be again ; and aro all chances of a different existence forbidden them for the future ? It was a strange sight to me to see the Cross of Savoy hang ing upon the lofty portals of what was once the Castello, or strong mansion of the Este of Ferrara. Only three centuries ago the Este rivalled the Medici, and Ferrara hardly yielded to the magni ficence of Florence, while Savoy, now rained, now victorious, hut al ways rude and barbaric,was hardly I'd acclimatized to Italy, and played the humblest 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, Gpnzaga, Farnese, and other minor houses, 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. ST. PANCRAS VESTRY. 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 directars, 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. PANCRAS. " St. Pancras Workhouse, Oct. 12. ." Gentleinen,—l most respectfully adopt the advice of the chairman and committee appointed by the vestry to inquire into the circumstances connected with my resignation, and 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 pissihle, 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 tho directors of the poor ; and am, gentlemen, your most obedient servant, " GEORGE W. AVINLo, Mastery" On the motion of Mr. Churchwarden FURNESS the report was received and adopted; and the yes ' try, after other business, adjourned. e CITY SEWERS COMMISSION. The Commissioners of Sewers met on Tuesday at 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 office: 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 TTIE CITY. The mortality returns for the week are a little above the average of the last 11 years, the number of deaths having been SS, and of these 22 were among young children and 10 among old persons of GO 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 zymotie class there were three deaths from fever, five from scarlatina, one from small-pox, three from cliarrhcea and dysentery, one from looping-cough, and one from croup ; in all 14 deaths from tlii class of affections. births were registered during the Trak, Eighty namely, 39 boys and 41 girls. 211 E NAVY Commander H. R. Raby, V.C. (Victoria Cross), yesterday went down to Woolwich and took up his commission to command her Majesty's iron paddle-wheel steamvessel Weser, 6, ordered for ser vice to the River Plate. Her Majesty's iron paddle-wheel steamvessel An telope, 3, Lieut. Commander J. W. Pike, front the West Coast of Africa, basin. , returned stores and dismantled, was yesterday paid off at Woolwich, and is ordered to undeigo 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. 11. D. Davies, Mr. C. 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. r c o o a ti t s l i v d o e l r r a e b r l N e ;l f i l ie ° l7 l i t t h i e s e d ff c e st e i t ne f d t t h o e I s L o N 7 ( y s 1 A d uZiNiielne . . of trucks, intended to be attacb:l to the en ,, ine, , are in course of construction, and , tvhen. - compreted will be applied to the daily *we of the - yard. - The following. line4)f-battl.: and othervesSelk - arel now attached to the reserve ordinary in the Mcd 2 way, not including the steam reserve sqaddrAin at Sheernes' and Chatham—viz,, the Monarch; 84 the Superb, 80 ; the: Coiling wood, 80; the Lean der, 50 ; the Warspite, 50 ; the President, 50 ;. the Winchester, 50 ;• the Vernon, 50; the Nankin; o 0 ; the Gloucester, 50 ; the Is 1, 44 ;• the Me r- eury, 42 ; the Diana, 42 ; the.

Her engines, by Messrs R. Napier and S6ns, 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 supervision of Mr. John Trickett, chief engineer at Plymouth. The ship was in charge of Mr. W. 11. Thompson, the Queen's Har bourMaster. 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 got bearings. Mr. John Campbell will be her chief engineer. Mr. Eyres, upholsterer, of Plymouth, has been some time en gaged in &ting 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.

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 than , nel, returned to harbour again in th 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 bulk. 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.

On Monday afternoon the Duke of Cambridge visited Sheffield for the purpose of inspecting the 84th Regiment, recently returned from India. His Royal Highness was accompanied by Major-Gen. Foster, Col. Wilbraham, Deputy Adjutant-General of the district; Col. Clifton, A.P.C., and Col. Hamilton, of the Royal Engineers. After mi nutely inspecting the condition of the men, his Royal Highness addressed the regiment in very flattering terms on their excellent oppearance— than which, he said, nothing could be better—so soon after their return from India, NI here during the late rebellion they had gone through i more hardship than almost any other •regiment, -having been the first to take the field and the last to leave it. llis Royal Highness afterwards inspected the barrack rooms, hospital, &e., and haying lunched /~/~i ~/~ SPA • ter-house: Eight dead bodies were found on forecastle, and three on the main deck, , includi*e the European sentry - and Portuguese erialc.: It •Treki now apparent, why the sentry ! had ngtf:ithswebeaC4. the hail of the infite.,--.1.6 poor fellow Nfbc' have been stabbed to the heart There seettts, fortunately, to beliciAlonbt that: ho had left his post below, - is supposed to have fallen asleep, being stabbed without awaken ing even to fire his pistol, which was in his hand as he lay.

It was found .triat the convicts had escaped, by gutting through with.a knife, of which they had. somehow. gained poss6:sion, a bar of a prison door forward, then partly cutting through the inside partition bar ,on the peitside, which enabled them to burSt the door in . altogether.

Some interesting particulars• of the loss of the Fulton will be found in the following extract from a private letter, dat(l Szitcraber :—" The Fulton -sailed- from. key West on Saturday last (SejAcraberlo) - for the coast of Cuba. The captain was sick with • fever 'when we left, as also the master and one or two others. On tbc d a4th the captain broke down, but refused to grve_up com mand among the Cuban reefs. He consented that evening., howeve'r, to have the first lieutenant take the ship—to .Teantg.'as.jslands„ the nearest healthy home port. We made for them accerdinglylbut the weather began to ihreaten, and we could get no sights, and were i.xposcd to :baffling currents, and did not re2ch our ports as eXpeeted. .0n 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 . aeas were more dangerous. We feared we were nearing land; had counailL was 'held to decide :.hat to do. It was determined that if the attempt were trade to lay her to' site would be lost ; on the other hand, if there Jrad bean no cur rent we should be more. than ~100 miles from land, w and our best chance - as to tun 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 on 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 us.

The O'Bri ens , N w u h o u i n n p a Eß rather . strong pre sumptive case existed, have, after several examina tions, been discharged from custody. Without for a moment icsinuating now that these 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, or endeavoured to fiustrate the search after the murderers. MURDER. AND SUICIDE. The following. is from the Mayo Constitution of yesterday :—" We regret to have to announce one of the mcst shocking tragedies that•lias ever ,oc curred in:this county, which took „place yesterday in the vicinity of Balla, which inyolves 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 /slily° 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 have since learned that the women have not yet expired, but there is no possibility of their recovery." TILE STRIKE, IN TILE BUILDING TILI DE.. 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 with them. They will now receive from their own societies an allowance of 10s. to 15s. per man weekly, which they consider will enable them (free tually to reskt 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 recusants 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, Vim carried unanimously. • STRIKE OF LOOMERS, &C., AT BLACKBURN.—In compliance with a resolution passed at a recent meeting of looniers, &c., the operative loomers; beamet s, winders, and drawers, employed at the mills of Messrs.
