AMATEUR SUGGESTIONS. Amateurs are generally ignorant of all that needful bye play, of all those little manoeuvres of the stage so common to the practised professional. It is an ignorance that is felt in more ways than one, for with such knowledge the actor can give a vitality, extend the exemplification of his role beyond' the utterance of words, and thus do more than avoid that dummy-like appearance which is too com monly apparent in Amateurs when not actually engaged in recitation. Of course these little arts must be practised with discretion. They must not be pushed too pro minently forward so as to trespass on public attention. They must, therefore, be ever in the bickground, secon dary to the active business of the moment, and always in keeping with the character assumed. If such know ledge is essential to all highly finished representations, it is frequently used in the provinces for a less creditable purpose. There the artiste has frequently not sufficient time to acquire all the parts allotted to him (which are very commonly numerous in order to dr aw audiences from a limited population:by a con stant p ro duction of novelties), and he renders thereby his ig norance of the author's text less palpable, his attendance o n the p r ompter less evident to the public. It may be assumed,in making the fore going assertion, that we are travelling beyond the legiti mate bounds and object of the present article. Such, how ever, is not the case. We wish to make the or di nary amateur sensible that, deficient in those little arts, which require much time and study to thoroughly acquire, it behoves him, all the more, to make himself thoroughly conversant with the language he has to deliver. We desire to impress upon him that dependence on the prompter's as sistance will be painfully conspicuous—will be detractive to his own merits as a declaimer, and a peril to the successful exertions of his friends; and for which dependence he has not the excuse of the provincial actor to palliate. We know how difficult it is to get a company of gentlemen together that shall be well up to the mark in this particular. We are aware that many delay and delay all serious study until the time becomes too short for acquirement. We have known some who seem to take delight in throwing themselves into a dilemma, trusting for extrication to their own wit and confidence on the boards. Let none of these presume that their shortcomings are unnoticed be cause they receive the applause of a friendly audience, for such is sometimes given as a stimulant, as though it ex pressed " better luck another time," and is therefore not always a proof of pleasurable appreciation of individual or collective merit. Ignorance of an author's text is, indeed, a terrible drawback to amateur per formances, and one beyond the control of the leading members of dramatic societies, for the least stu dious may naturally possess very considerable histrionic ability, or may be, through an amiable and lively disposi tion, exceedingly popular with his companions; others enter such clubs on the spur of the moment, with the desire, perhaps, of merely a pass behind the scenes, to see how the pieces progress, and if induced to take a part do so with indifference. There is with none a fear of dis charge, with only the few an innate love of the buskin and desire for dramatic excellence. Heine in amateur clubs like these,—clubs in which there does not exist that esprit de corps leading towards general efficiency,—we think recourse should be had to the pockets of all those who presume to tread the stage in ignorance of their parts, and fines establish e d proport i ona t e t o th e ir need of the prompter's assistanc e, at least at the final rehearsal , if not before.—Racing Tim es an d Amateur Dramatic Chronicle. FREE-7RADI DINNER TO WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT. The Free-Trade dinner, to which we alluded in our last issue, given to William Cullen Bryant, at Delmonico's, was presided over by David Dudley Field. In proposing the health of his guest, he said " the society under whose auspices this banquet is held especially directs its efforts to the question of Public Economy —one of the two great subjects now occupying the att en ti on o f t h e A m e r ican people." Alluding to misrepresentations, Mr. Field explained that the Free-Trade League advocated freedom in trade, but were not opposed to taxation to the fullest extent necessary to meet all engagements. " We hold that the country is bound to pay the whole of the debt, as it falls due, principal and in terest, if it take our whole property to do it. But we would limit taxation to its proper object ; we would not take from any one a single dollar be yond what is needed to meet the necessary ex penses of the Government and the payment of the debt. We hold that Government has no right to tax for any other purpose; and when a tax is laid upon one for the purpose of making another's business more profitable, that is not only a flagrant injusticl but a violation of the first principles of economical cience. p political economy . There never There never was a time i n the history of America so wh en needed the diffusiontrue principles was a time when the t each er of these principles should be so sought after a nd honoured. It is igno among of people. igno rance of them which has brought us into so many difficulties, industrial and financial. It is this igno rance which has filled our statute boeks with so many burdensome laws ; which has diverted our industry into so many artificial channels ; which has so straitened commerce that, at this moment, while the ocean rolling between us and Europe is covered with steamers, not a single one floats an American flag, and there is not a single American vessel now in the harbour of New York loading for Liverpool, that port with which our chief commerce was held ; it is this ignorance which has driven gold and silver from circulation and filled the land with irredeem able paper, calling it money ; and which now madly seeks to stop the process of return to coin ; which has so lessened the credit of this the richest in resources of all the nations, that we cannot bor row as cheaply as Russia, nor half as cheaply as England or France." The distinguished champion of social science then paid a high tribute to the poet and Free-trader they had assembled to honour, and Mr. Bryant rose to reply amidst thundering cheers. What he had done in applying the prin ciples of human liberty between man and man, be tween nation and nation, was simply in obedience to his own convictions without attempting to reason them away. Thus he had saved himself perplexity, bewilderment : wade of ingenuity, and perhaps no little remorse. " Another circumstance has made my task easy. I had only to walk in a path smoothed and lighted by some of the best thinkers of the age—impartial, unprejudiced men, who had no object in view but the simple discovery of truth. It was not difficult to walk in such a path. Grand and noble intellects held their torches over it, and I could not well step astray with such guidance. Be sides I had only to follow in the way which the world is going. The tendency of enlightened pub lic opinion in all countries is towardi the fre.doni of trade. There is no difficulty in swimming with the current. I saw that the navigation was safe, and let my boat float with the streatn,while others laboriously tried to stem it, or lay moored to the shore wondering which way they ought to go. We shall have them all with us yet, Mr. President, a merry fleet of all manner of craft, bound on the same easy voyage. Another circumstance which has made the task of the friends of free trade more easy is the involun tary admissions which the Protectionists make of the fallacy of their system. A capitalist in New England, owning cotton.or woollen mills, however great his attachment to the protective system, has no idea of employing any part of his capital in raising wheat in the fields close to his mills, that he may save the expense to him - and his work-people of bringing it from the distant West. Hs bringf it from a thousand miles away-and .sencls_baok fabrics in exchange, at the very moment that he is procuring laws to be passed, which will prevent us, the consumers, from buying iron and cloth and paper from Europe, that we may, as they say, save the expense of freight. When we make a new acquisition of territory, they do not object that we should have free trade with the new region. On the contrary, they rejoice in a wider market. This they did when Texas was taken into the Union. They made no opposition to the acquisition of California on the ground that all revenue laws which shut out the trade of that wide region would now be re pealed. When we talk of annexing Canada they do not object that we and the Canadians will then be no longer independent of each other. In this they are in the right ; in this they tacitly admit the advantage of free trade. 'Whatever other objec tions may be made to the acquisition of new terri tory, the enlargement of our borders by the addi tion of new and extensiveprovinces is a great com mercial and industrial advantage, because it makes the exchange of commodities between them and us perfectly free. Yet there is a certain plausibility in what the Protectionists say when they talk of home industry and a home market—a plausibility which misleads many worthy and otherwise sensible people—sensible in all other respects, and whom as men I admire and honour. There are clever men among them who bring to their side of the question a great array of facts, many of which, however, have no real bearing upon its solution. There is plausibility, too, in the idea, that the sun makes a daily circuit round the earth, and if there were any private interests to be promoted by maintaining it we should have thousands believing that the earth stands still while the sun travels round it. " See for yourself," they would say. " Will you not be lieve the evidence of your own senses ? The sun comes up in the east every day before your eyes, stands over your head at noon, and goes down in the afternoon in the west. Why, you admit the fact when you say the sun rises, the sun sets, the sun is up, the sun is down. What a fool was Ga lileo, what nonsense is the system of Copernicus, what trash was written by Sir Isaac Newton ? I remember a case in point—an anecdote which I once heard in Scotland. A writer to the signet, called in England an attorney, of the name of Moll, who knew very little except what related to the drawing up of law papers, once heard a lecture on astronomy in which some illustrations were given of the daily revolution of the earth on its axis. The attorney was perplexed and be wil dered by this philosophy, which was so new to him, and one day his thoughts frequently recurring to the subject he looked up from his law papers and said The young mon says the warld turns round. It's vera extraordinar'. I've lived in this place sax and thretty years, and that grass-plot presarves the same relative poseetion to the house that it had sax and thretty years sin' ; and yet the young mon says the warld turns round. It's vera extraordinar'.' Here was a man who was not to be taken in by this nonsense about the earth's revolving on its axis ; and if there were any real or imaginary pecuniary advantage to be gained by denying it, Mr. Moll would have a whole army of his way of thinking, many of them far wiser and better informed in other respects than he. Perhaps, Mr. President and gentlemen, you will allow me to make use of another familiar illustration. You have heard of a man attempting to lift himself from the ground by the waistband of his pantaloons. Now if anything were to be gained by it, a very atspectable a priori argument might be made in favour of the possibility of the feat. One might say, You can lift two hundred pounds ; your weight is but a hundred and sixty. A power of gravita tion equal to a hundred and sixty pounds holds you down to the earth. You have only to apply a counteracting force a little greater than this, and you will 12e lifted into the air. Take hold of your waistband, therefore, with both hands, and pull vigorously. If you do not lift yourself up at the first trial you must pull harder.' All that might sound very plausible to one who had no experience to guide him. This country has been persuaded to attempt the feat of lifting itself from the ground by the waistband, and for nearly half a century, with occasional short relaxations of the effort, prompted by the return of common sense. When the first pull was made, and was ineffectual, we were told to try another, and then another still more vigorous, and another, and another; and now what do we see ? The garment of which the waistband forms a part is torn to shreds and tat ters, presenting what Pope, alluding to a similar accident, somewhere calls a dishonest sight,' mor tifying to the pride of philosophy. It is most true that a man can be raised from the ground by the waistband ; but he cannot do the feat for himself —another must perform the office. The force must come from without. One strong man may raise another in this way, and be raised by him in turn. In this case there is an interchange of good offices— freedom of trade. No man, even with the strength of Samson, can go into a room by himself and en deavour to perform the feat alone without coming forth from the undertaking in rags, his nether garment full of ghastly rents, inviting the entrance of the January wind. So no nation can enrich itself by excluding foreign commerce; the more perfect it makes the exclusion, the more certain it is to im poverish itself. Mr. President and gentlemen — There is a great law imposed upon us by the neces sities of our condition as members of human society, the law of mutual succour, the interchange of bene fits and advantages, the law of God and nature com manding us to be useful to each other. It is the :aw of the household ; it is the law of the neigh. bourhood ; it is the law of different provinces in cluded under the same government, and well would it be for mankind if it were in an equal degree re cognised as a law to be sacredly regarded by the great community of nations in their intercourse with each other. Were that law to be repealed, the social state would lose its cohesion and fall in pieces. There is not a pathway across the fields, not a high road, not a guide-post at a turn of the way, not a railway from city to city or from State to State, not a sail upon the ocean, which is not an illustra tion of this law. It is proclaimed in the shriek of the locomotive ; it is murmured in the ripple of waters divided by the prow of the steamer. The nation by which it is disregarded, or which endea vours to obstruct it by artificial barriers against the free intercourse of its citizens with those of other countries revolts against the order of :nature, and strikes at its own prosperity." ~=•••=1 PRICE.... ld.

THE EASTER MONDAY FOL&NTEER REV IEIV. Yesterday a meeting of metropolitan command ing officers was held at the rooms of the National Rifle Association, Pall-mall, to consider the ques tion of holding, and the most suitable site for, the usual Easter review. The commanding officers present were :—Lieutenant-Colonel Lord Truro, in the chair ; Lieutenant-Colonels Lord Bury, Lord Ranelagh, Lord Gerald Fitzgerald, Lord Campbell, Sir Fowell Buxton, Marcus Beres ford, Whitehead, Loyd Lindsay, Aikman, Walms ley, Grey, 'Wood, Cochrane, 'Wilkinson, Macdonald, Stedall, Ward, G. 11. Money, Laurie, Labrord, Du Plat Taylor, Williams, Darn ford, Murray, Bigge, Cruikshauk, M'Leod of M'Leod, Majors laws and Oxley, and Captains Templer and Phillips. A deputation, consisting of the Mayor, Colonel (Inuit, Captain Conway, Mr. Councillor Baker, Mr. Emmanuel, and Mr. Gordon attended from Ports mouth to represent the suitability of that place for the review. Mr. Knight appeared on behalf of the South Western and London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company, for the purpose of stating that the company were prepared to take down the forces to Dover on the same terms, and offer the same facilities, as they did last year. Lieut.-Colonel WILKINSON read letters relative to the review from the Mayors of Portsmouth and Brighton. Licut.-Col. C. LINDSAY, M.P., moved : " That a review be held this year, as usual, on Easter Mon day." The motion, after being put from the chair, was declared " carried unanimously." Captain TiotrLEr: moved: " That the Easter re view this year take place at Portsmouth, provided the railway facilities are reported to the commit tee to be ample, and the railway fares to be mo derate." Colonel DURNFORD proposed Brighton in similar terms, but both motions were superseded upo n Lord RANELAGII proposing—" That the follow ing officers be appointed a committee to inquire into, and report at a future meeting, what site they con sider to be most eligible for the review, having re ference to the facilities given by the railway autho rities for the transport of the forces to and from the place, viz., Lord Truro, Lord Bury, Colonel Loyd Lindsay, Colonel Taylor, Lord Ranelagh, Colonel Ward, and Colonel Thomson." Colonel MONEY seconded the proposition, which was carried. It was moved by the CHAIRMAN, seconded by Lord BURY, and resolved unanimously—" That the deputation from Portsmouth be invited to attend the committee meeting." Tuesday, the 3d of March, was appointed to re ceive the report of the committee. THE DUKE OF BEAuFoRrs SALE. From all sporting classes of society the greatest regret is expressed at the sudden withdrawal of the Duke of Beaufort from the Turf. It is, however, unfortunately next door to a flit accompli, as the whole of his grace's horses in training are announced to be sold without re serve on the 11th of March by Messrs. Tattersall. De pression of the iron trade —an important feature in his graze's rent-roll—is stated to be the cause in Saturday's Sporting Gazette, of which, it is well known, the duke has been for somb time ono of the principal supporters ; but we hear from a trustworthy source that it is more to be attributed to certain complications connezted with the late secession of a well-known marquis from the Turf.—Raciny Times. DEATII OF COLONEL DUNN.—On my arrival in camp I found that a deep gloom hung over every one, and I heard the sad news that Colonel Dlllll3, the commanding officer of the 33d, had the day before accidentally shot himself when out shooting. The native servant who alone was with him reports that he himself was at the moment stooping to pour out some water, that he heard the report of a gun, and turning round saw his master stagger back, and then sink into a sitting position with the blood streaming from his breast. The m:m instantly ran back to camp, a distance of five miles, for assistance, and surgeons at once galloped off with bandages, ikze., followed by dhoolie wallahs, with a dhoolie to carry him back to camp. When the surgeons arrived they found Colonel Dunn lying on his back dead. His flask was open by his side, his cap pulled over his face. He had bled to death in a few minutes after the accident. It is supposed that the gun was at full cock, and that the slight jar of putting the butt to the ground must have let the hammer down. There are very few men who could have been less spared than Col. Dunn; none more deeply regretted. He was one of the most rising men in the service, and had he lived would have probably gained its highest honours and position. He was with the 11th Hussars at the Balaclava charge, and when the men wore asked to select the man who in the whole regiment was most worthy of the Victoria Cross they unanimously named Lieut. Dunn. Never was the Victoria Cross placed on the breast of a more gallant soldier. When the 100th Regiment was raised in Canada, ho enrolled a very largo number of men, and was gazetted its major. After attaining the rank of lieutenant-colonel he ex changed into the 33d, of which, at the time of this sad accident, he was full colonel, and was next on the list for his brigadier-generalship. He was only 35 years of age, the youngest colonel in the British service, and would in all human probability have been a brigadier-general before he was 36. Known as a dashing officer, distinguished for his personal bravery, a colonel at an age when other men aro captains, there was no rank or position in the army which he might not have confidently been predicted to attain, and his loss is a loss to the whole British army. But not less than a soldier, do all who knew poor Dunn regret him as a man. He was the most popular of officers. Unassuming, frank, kindhearted in the extreme, a delightful companion, and a warm friend—none mot him who ware not irresis tibly attracted by him. He was a man essentially to be loved. In his regiment hie irreparable, and as they stood beside his lonely grave the foot of the rock of Senafe, it is no disgrace to i i manhood to say that there were few dry oyes amongst either officers or men. He was buried, in accordance with a wish he had once ex pressed and Wolfe's line on the burial of , in his uniform ; Sir John Moore will apply almos t word for word, to " this grave where our hero is buried.—Standar d . PRUSSIA IN THE DUCHIES.—The Prussian Govern ment is at this moment directing its attention to the crea tion of strategical lines opposite to Denmark, which may serve either to repress any invasion on the northern side, or to prevent a lauding in case of a naval war. Some hesitation is felt as to the selection of the works of Alsen- Duppel-I3oal, or those of Kid, Rendsburg, and Friedrich stadt. In any case the old Dannewirk, which was used as a first line of defence by the Danes in the Schleswig cam paign, would serve also as an advanced line for the works to be executed by the Prussians on the side of the Danish peninsula.

ON . . The ITniteitt.r.sccutive Committee 'formed for the relief s.t, of the exceptional distress in the East of London-have hel a meeting at the Mansion House. In the chair-4as tI4 Lord Mayor. After some formal business had been trans-, acted, Mr. Samuda, M.P., called attention to the fact that thirty carpenters, employed temporarily by Messrs. Pontifex and Wood, engineers, at ss. Gd. a day, or 345. a week, had, without giving notice, struck work. The rate at which they were paid amounted to 335. per week, and ls. was added on the understanding that the men were to, work until four o'clock on Saturday afternoon. These, hours were what the regular hands in the employ of the firm were working. No notice had been given of cessation from work, and the men stated that they would not resume unless paid &l. per hour, and were allowed a half-holiday on the Saturday. He attributed this action on the part of the men to the agency of a trade union. In the case of the shipwrights in Messrs. Green's. employ, the men agreed to accept Gs. Gd. a day during the progress of the work on hand, but they insisted on retain) ing their claim to the remaining Gd., making the full price for which they had 'formerly worked. Thus the workmen for whose benefit the fund had been established were, he very much regretted, not spewing the least lesire to meet the exceptional distress of the neighbour hood. Still further, negotiations which had been set ori foot for the building of two vessels by Mr. Bullivant had been broken off because the men refused to accept a drawing account of less than 6s. per day, in lieu of ss. Gd., which had been offered to them. In this ;Instance also he believed the union had dictated the terms on which the men should work. Finally, he contended that the committee would not be doing their duty unless they with held all further distribution of relief until these matters had been satisfactorily explained. Mr. Eavenhill stated that there were a number of bricklayers in the stoneyard, employed by the Poplar Board, who, when asked, posi tively refused to erect a boundary wall, although only required to lay half the number of bricks per day which the trade demanded.—After some discussion, it was agreed that no further grants be made from the relief fund before Wednesday, in order that the committee might be better advised on the facts mentioned.—The secretary (Mr. Haly)i, in the early part of the proceedings, had stated that the public subscriptions received by the committee up to that morning amounted to £3,610 odd, including L'3ol:liby an anonymous donor, and that they had a balance in,-hand of £1,673. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDIVON. At the meeting of the Geographical Society, on Monday evening, two communications were read from Mr. MARK-. HAM, one of the honorary secretaries of the society, who had accompanied the scientific portion of the expedition into Abyssinia, describing the geographical results to the 22nd of January. The general features of the country have been previously described, and the chief value of Mr. Markham's communications consisted in the details of the character of the rocks, the elevations of the different mountain passes, and the meteoro logical phenomena. An enlarged map of the coun try, from Annesley Bay to Magdala, served to illustrate the various parts of the paper. The most important point in reference to the success of the expedition was the statement, founded on his personal experience, of the mountain passes in many parts of South America and in India, that the access to the elevated table-land of Abys sinia through the defiles from the plain is much more easy than through any mountain passes he had traversed. The height of the Abyssinian Alps, as he termed them, is about 10,000 feet, and Senafd is situated 6,000 feet above the level of the sea. The vegetation is very rich at that altitude, and partakes of the character of the flora of England and of Italy. The mountains consist of shistoze rocks covered with sandstone, which rise in elevated peaks, and they are frequently intersected by veins of quartz. The whole country bears indication of having been subjected to volcanic action, and one volcano was mentioned as being in a state of activity. So far as Mr. Markham's communications bore on the probable success of the expedition, in regard to overcoming natural ob stacles, it was very favourable. The communications were illustrated by numerous photographs. Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE spoke of the great services Mr. Markham had rendered to the Council for India, and the inconvenience the office had experienced from his absence, which he considered a sacrifice to science. Alluding to the progress of the expedition, Sir Stafford said that this had been an exceptional season, the drought having been greater than usual, and the locusts more numerous, so that the difficulties to be contended against had been greater than expected, but everything was now in a fair way for a successful advance into the interior. He said that the prompt payment for all the articles supplied by the natives had agreeably sur prised them, and it had stimulated the supply of provisions to the camp throughout the country ; therefore, instead of the temporary occupation of the troops .sea,sioning any dearth, it had added to the quantity of provisions and forage, which was accumulated there from great distances. Even milk and butter were now brought in daily to the camp. Though the unforeseen obstacles he had alluded to had occasioned unexpected delay, he had no doubt whatever that the object for which the expedition was undertaken would be completed within as short a time as could have been reasonably anticipated. One of the effects of inter course with the natives had been to impress them with a high sense of the power of Great Britain ; and Sir Stafford Northcote mentioned, as an instance of this, the great astonishment which one of the chiefs had expressed when shewn by Sir Robert Napier that they could convert the sea into drinking water. Sir SAMUEL BAKER described graphically the western ridges of the chain of mountains from which flow the sources of the Blue Nile. The ascent on that side from the elevated plateau was, he said, almost perpendicular to a height of 8,000 feet, and the watershed during the rainy season must be almost impassable, as it was traversed by mountain torrents which the expedition would have to cross. Unless they took possession of Magdala before the rains commenced, of which there was little chance, he thought it would be impossible to approach it this year. He looked forward, therefore, to great delay, and to the expenditure of a larger sum of money than anticipated by the Government before its object was accomplished. He expressed doubt, indeed, whether the captives would be ever released ; for King Theodore would retreat with them into parts of the mountains where he could not be fol lowed, and hold them as hostages ; or, if he could not do that, he would put them to death. He described the level country on the western side of the mountains as the most fertile region of the earth, the produce of which might be transmitted by the Nile ; and he thought it would be throwing away great advantages, both commercially and philanthropically, if, after gaining possession of Abyssinia, England did not retain it, to compensate for the 10 or 20 millions which the expedition would cost. One bal effect of abandoning the country would be the loss of prestige in India, for when the army returned, though they might march through the towns with music playing and flags flying, it would be the impression of the natives that they had been driven out of Abyssinia. Sir HENRY RAWLINSON pointed on the map to a route tuat might be taken by the expedition on the eastern ridge of the mountains without crossing the streams which Sir S. Baker considered world prove insurmountable obstacles after the commencement of the rainy season. Along that ridge the army might advance easily to Magdala, and, so far as the difficulties of the route were concerned, he thought they had now been nearly surmounted.

Sir STAFFORD NoRTRcoTE rose to state, lest it should be supposed that silence gave consent, that so long as the present Government remained in power neither the whole sale scheme of occupation proposed by Sir S. Baker, nor the minor proposition of Sir Henry Rawlinson, would be adopted ; but as soon as the object for which the expedition had been undertaken was accomplished the troops would be entirely withdrawn from the country. After a few words from Mr. Crawfurd, the meetin iourned. The fire in Portman -market was remotely due to Saturday night's gale. Just at closing time the wind blew a shop blind against a jet of gas ; the blind caught fire, was hastily rolled up and put away under a counter, and the shop was closed. An hour after the house was in a blaze, it is thought, from a few sparks still left in the blind when it was put away. Only one of the twenty-three tradespeople burned out was insured, and these represent a total of something like a hundred persons who are now on the brink of destitution. A meeting on their behalf is to be held on Friday night. FATAL ACCIDENT AT A great portion of the woollen mills of Messrs. Jonathan Crawford and Sons, East street, Leeds, was lately on fire from some cause which as yet has not been ascertained. The corpo ration fire brigade, with Mr. Wetherell, chief constable, at their head, were soon in attendance, and the flames were confined to that portion of the building in which they had broken out. One of the outer walls fell, and a portion which then remained in a dangerous state was pulled down purposely. The workmen little thought that they were adding to a pile of ruins that had already fallen upon and killed one of their fellow-workmen. About eleven o'clock it became known that a man named James Stockdale was missing, and after a search his lifeless and mutilated body was found among the ruins. He had been absent from work a fortnight through illness. The damage done at the mill is estimated at wore than £l,OOO, hut Messrs, Crawford are insured. *~ 7 ~~' twin, )N, - :oplo c) so w or ould acts oper ttion fiery pose 3 to '1C(111 Cir ty of trips- Now ,crew New ,b. 13 h. 13 Cork.
