Gold'Medal was awarded at the Paris Exhibition to Price's Patent Candle Company Limited, for " Candles, Glycerine, and Soap"—the only one to any British exhibi tor for these three things combined. The chief Candles of the Company are their " BELMONTINE" and "PRICE'S PARAFFINE" for those who must have the extreme transparency of pure Paraffine ; their "GOLD MEDAL PALMITINE" and " SHERWOOD PALMITINE," for those who, while desiring candles of great beauty, require also steady brilliancy of light and freedom from smoke and smell; their good old-fashioned " BELMONT SPERM AND WAX," and " BEST" "No. 2," " No. 3," and "BATTERSEA" COMPOSITES for those who require only perfect burning without caring for transparency; and their "CHAMBER" Candles, hard, and of small diameter, to avoid the dropping of grease when carried. Their new toilet soap, "PRICE'S SOLIDIFIED GLYCERINE" con tains half its weight of their distilled Glycerine, andshould be the one toilet soap in use , e s p eciall y in winter, because of its admirable effects in preventing chapping of the hands and face. There ought also to be in every house one of the sealed, bottles of their patent distilled Glycerine, known every where as " PRICE'S GLYCERINE," two or three drc.ps of which, mixed with three or four times as much water, will in a day or two remove chapping and roughness of skin, whether of adults or childr en ; and w h en this is effected, a single drop of the und iluted Glycerine applied once a day will prevent the recurrence of the chapping and roughness. insist on having " Price's Glycerine" in the Company's own sealed bottles, quantities of cheap impure Glycerine being now sold in the shops because of the low rate at which the dealers can buy it in comparison with Price's. All the good medical authorities abroad as well as at home order " PRICE'S" as the one only Glycerine to be used. " PRICE'S NEW PATENT NIGHT LIGHTS" for burning in the wide glasses are believed to be the very best Night Lights made. " PRICE'S CHILD'S NIGHT LIGHTS" are known everywhere, and are excellent for burning without a glass.

SOUTH AUSTR ALIAN DISCOVERY. The following is an extract from a letter received by the Agent General for South Australia in Lon don on the sth of February from Captain Cadell, commanding the South Australian Exploring Expe dition on the north coast of Australia : South Australian Exploring steamer Eagle, Coepang Timor, Nov. 27, 1867. 4, I last wrote from Burke-town. . . . I have since made some rather important discoveries, the principal of which are the discovery of the mouth of the Roper, in lat. 14 45 S. It is a noble river, fully up to Leichardt's description, and good astoral country will be found on its banks, the best indeed I know of in the northern territory. Pro ceeding northwards, a moderate-sized river flows into the gulf in lat. 14 27 S., while a smaller was met with in lat. 14 5 S. A fine haven, with an area of some 50 square miles, and several rivulets, also one moderate-sized river flowing into it, was en tered in lat. 12 33 S., and long. 136 55 E. Immediately to the northward of Probate island, near Arnhem's Bay, represented by Flinders, under the most pardonable conditions, as dry land, I sailed up a deep bay twenty miles in length by ten in breadth, with three large rivers disemboguing their waters therein. The Eagle entered one with five fathoms on the bar, another with an equal depth was thoroughly examined by the boats. This bay, which I propose to name after his Grace the Secretary for the Colonies, is separated front the s 9 Tait I had previously dis covered by a narrow peninsula. On the north coast a fine river, with a remarkably easy entrance, was found betwixt Points Guion and• Turner. Three low dangerous rocks, in the very closest proximity to which Flinders unwittingly passed in the night, are situated in a N.E. by N. half N. bearing from Cape Arnhem distant 13 miles. I purpose naming them after Sir Roderick, appropriately the patron saint of any geographical discovery. Some minor dangers, &c., have also been charted during the progress of the expedition. We have been rather debilitated lately ; however, the surgeon reports the sick to be improving rapidly on the first sup plies obtained here. "After my examination of the coasts of the north territory, I am decidedly of opinion that the estuary of the Liverpool offers by far the best site for its capital, and will recommend it accord ingly. lam also of opinion that Finnis's pre ference to Adam Bay over the Victoria was a wise one ; the river is rapid and dangerous, while the country situate on the navigable portion of its waters is of the most wretched, stony, and barren description, with the heat intense, causing this ex pedition to suffer more than during any period of its explorations. I feel convinced of the possi bility of executing the necessary surveys for the 300,000 acres during the good season of the S.E. monsoon of 1868. " Everything at Escape Cliffs we found in exactly the same order as it was when abandoned. The natives actually had touched neither the buildings nor any of their contents ; they had permitted even the bananas to rot on the trees rather than take them. They reported the' stock to be doing well, and they themselves were very friendly during our short sojourn. We have never had the slightest animosity from the north territory aborigines, but the greatest assistance in propuring fuel and water has generally been afforded by them. I must now close, as the ship is ready and steam up." TIIE ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION. OnThursday a meeting of this institution was held at its house, John-street, Adelphi ; Thos. Baring, Esq., M.P., F.R.S., in the chair. There were also present Thomas Chapman, Esq., F.R.s ., Sir Edward Perrott, Bart., Captain Richarde, R.N., hydrographer of the Admiralty ; Admiral Gordon, John Griffith, Esq., Capt. Ward, RN., inspector of lifeboats to the institution ; and Richard Lewis, Esq., the secretary. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, the thanks of the institution, inscribed on vellum, were ordered to be presented to Capt. Pim ; the second service clasp to Mr. R. 0. Johns ; the silver medal to Martin Norris ; and £2B ls. 6d. to pay the expenses of the Tramore (the Cambridge University Boat Club) lifeboat of the institution, in going off during a heavy gale and saving, in two trips, twenty-one persons from the ship Oasis, of Liverpool, which was wrecked in Brown's Bay. Rewards, amounting to £342, were also ordered to be given to the crews of the following lifeboats of the society for their gallant services during the past month. The Whitby lifeboat saved the crew of two men of the sloop Industry, and two men from the schooner Mulgrave. The lifeboat stationed at Howth, in Dublin Bay, was instrumental in sav ing the crew of the three men of the schooner Seven_ Brothers, of Wicklow. The captain was also brought ashore by this lifeboat from the schooner Avenie, of Nantes. He then telegraphed to Dublin and obtained the services of a steam tug, which was the means of saving his vessel. The Lyme Regis lifeboat assisted to save the ketch Kate, of Ipswich, and her crew of four men. The Commercial Travellers, No. 2 lifeboat, stationed at Castletown, Isle of Man, saved five men from the schooner Maria, of Newport, Monmouthshire. The London Sunday School lifeboat at Moelfre, Anglesea, rescued four men belonging to the schooner Douglas C. Pennant, of Carnarvon. The Anstruther lifeboat (the Admiral Fitzroy) saved the crew of five men of the schooner Edward Stonard, of Lancaster. The Porthdinllaen lifeboat rescued the crews of nine men of the schooner Denbighshire Lass, of Chester, and Sarah Caroline, of Girvan. The Skerries lifeboat brought ashore the crew of four men of the schooner Anne, of Aberystwith. The Great Yarmouth lifeboat assisted into the harbour the smack Clipper, of that port, and her crew of six men. The Holy Island lifeboat (Grace Darling) rescued the crew of six men of the schooner Mis chief, of Carnarvon. The Bradford lifeboat at Ramsgate brought safely into harbour the brig Britain's Pride, of Falmouth, and her crew of eight men, making a total of eighty lives saved and three distressed vessels assisted by the lifeboats of the in stitution during the heavy gales of the past month alone. The lifeboats of the society at North Berwick, Caister, Hasborough, Ilunstanton, Skegness, Sut ton, Walmer, Kingsdowne, Ramsgate, Great Yar mouth, Cadgwith, Holyhead, Orme's Head, Pad stow, Penzance, Poole, Falmouth, Wexford, Win ter ton, Phorpeness, Campbeltown, Girvan, Abergele, Banff, and Swansea, bad also put off in reply to signals of distress. In some cases the vessels had happily got out of danger, in others the lifeboats had only arrived in time to see the ships become total wrecks. The thanks of the institution, inscribed on vellum, were ordered to be given to Mr. Joh n "Walker, ci Campbeltown, N. 8., for his gallant conduct in volunteering to go off in that lifeboat to the rescue of a shipwrecked crew. The silver medal was also granted to Mr. W. Juniper, in admiration of his bravery in jumping into th e sea from the Munclesley lifeboat and rescu ing a sailor who would otherwise inevitably have perished. The silver medal of the institution was likewise voted to Frederick" Harris, Esq., inspecting officer of the Coast Guard at Seafield, Ireland ; and to Lieutenant M‘Mahon, of the Clare Militi a ; an d £3 to Michael Boyle, and £lO to five other men, for putting off from the shore in a gale of wind and heavy sea, to the rescue of three persons who had been left on board the stranded brigantine Hen rietta, of Havre, which afterward; became a total wreck near Mutton Island, County Galway. It was only after three attempts that two of the poor fellows were saved, and the rescue was effected at great risk of life, the heavy sea almost overwhelm ing the small boat. Lieut. M'Mahon, who had risen from a sick bed, was most energetic on the occasion, and had, on seeing the failure, of the other boat to reach the wreck, pat off himself in a small curragh or canoe, but was driven back by the violence of the wind and sea. Several other rewards were also granted to the crews of shore boats for saving life from wrecks on our coasts. Payments, amounting to £2,930, were ordered to be made on various lifeboat establishments, and it was reported that during the past year the institu tion had expended £31,845 in forming new lifeboat stations, and in maintaining other lifeboats in a state of efficiency. It was stated that the Henry Nixson, No. 2 life boat for Abergale, North Wales, had been recently forwarded to the coast. It was decided to name a lifeboat the Thomas Boys, of Brighton, after a gentleman who, with his family, had rendered the society for some years past most liberal support. A small lifeboat was also ordered to be placed, if practicable, on board the light vessel near Llanelly. The Manchester and Salford Sunday Schools had presented to the institution a lifeboat for Douglas, Isle of Man, and the boat was to be exhibited in Manchester this day (Saturday). A legacy of £lOO has been received during the past month from the executors of the late Miss Jane Sharp; of Whitburn. Bequests bad also been made to the institution by the late Thomas Rogers, Esq., of Derby, £3OO ; Miss* E. Bolton, of Chelsea, £5OO ; and David Sinclair, Esq., of Thurso, £lOO . Mr. Sinclair had for many years acted as hono rary secretary of the Thurso branch of the institu tion. Votes of condolence were passed to the families of the late Henry Nixson, Esq., of Manchester, and W. J. Egan, Esq., of Dublin, both of whom had for many years rendered their hearty sympathy and support to the lifeboat cause. It was reported that the wardroom officers of her Majesty's ship Valorous had forwarded, through Lieut. F. C. Law, R.N., £2 Bs. in aid of the funds of the institution. Contributions had also been received by the society from several of the principal City companies; the Worshipful Company of Fishmongers, second donation, £lO5 ; the Worshipful Company of Grocers, £lOO ; and several others. Reports were read from the inspector and the assistant-inspector of lifeboats to the institution on their recent visits to various lifeboat . establishments. The proceedings then terminated. CONGRESS. SINATE. Jan. 20.—Mr. Chanler" called up the joint reso lution relative to consular appointments. lie consi dered the consular system of the United States more efficient to-day than it had been since the foundation of the Government. Mr. Mordll, of Vermont, adhered to his statement as to the abuses in the system. Mr. Morrill, of Maine, maintained that the officers of the navy were not competent to take consular appointments. Mr. Nye said some of the men who were representing the country under the auspices of this Committee on Commerce were the merest pot-house politicians that had ever dis graced the country, and after further discussion the motion was laid on the table. Mr. Johnson called up his resolution, providing for the admission to his seat of the Hon. P. F. Thomas, Senator elect from the State of Maryland, which was followed by con siderable discussion, though no fresh facts were elicited. By unanimous consent, on motion of Mr. Sherman, the Senate refused to recede from its amendments to the Cotton Bill, and agreed to the request of time House for a committee of conference, and the Chair, appointed as the committee, on the part of the Senate, Messrs. Sherman, Conkling, and Morill, of Vermont. The bill suspending the con traction of the currency was here received from the House, with the refusal of the House to concur in the Senate am3ndrnents. On the motion of Mr. Sherman, the Senate insisted on its amendments, and asked for a committee of conference. The Chair appointed as the committee, on the part of the Senate, Messrs. Cattell, Trumbull , and Morg an . After going into Executi ve Committee the Senate adjourned. Jan. 21.—Mr. Patterson, of New Hampshire, from the joint committee on retrenchment, reported a bill in addition to the act to regulate the tenure of civil offices, and gave notice that he would call it up to-morrow, as it was an important bill. Mr. Henderson introduced a bill to fund the public debt and amend the banking laws of the United States.— Referred to the Committee on Finance. Mr. Conness offered a resolution reciting the acts of the British Government in the late arrests of American citizens, and requesting the President to inquire into the facts of the same, and if such arrests have been made without cause, to demand the release of such Ame rican citizens as are unjustly held in confinement, and to support this demand by such portions of the naval and military forces of the United States as may be necessary. Mr. Seward asked to take up the bill to remove the political disabilities from Go vernor R. W. Patton, of Alabama.—Laid over. After a discussion of the resolution providing for the admission to a seat of the Hon. P. F. Thomas, Senator elect for Maryland, the Supplemental Re construction Bill was received from the House, and Mr. Johnson stated that he would ask for a vote on the question to-morrow, when the Senate ad journed. Jan. 22.--The House Bill supplementary to the Reconstruction Bills was read once. Mr. Doolittle objected to its second reading, and explained that he did so not to cause delay, but because he pro posed to address the Senate on the reference. He was prepared to go on this morning, but did not wish to interfere with the business of the Senate. — The bill went over under the rules. Mr. Cattell, from the committee of conference on the bill sus pending further contraction of the currency, made a report, which was agreed to, and the bill now goes to the President. Mr. Sherman from the Committee of Conference on the Cotton Bill, reported that the committee were unable to agree. Mr. Sherman moved that the new Conference be instructed to recede from the Senate amendments, and to agree to a provision for the admission of imported cotton free of duty. The motion of Mr. Sherman wag agreed to by a vote of 25 to 18. Mr. Sumner asked to take up the joint resolution to provide for the representation of the United States at the Interna tional Maritime Exhibition to be held at Havre. — Laid over. Mr. Harlan, from the Committee on the District of Columbia, reported the bill for the temporary relief of destitute people in the District of Columbia, with an amendment striking out $25,000 and inserting $15,000, which was agreed to, and the bill passed. The Chair announced as the new Committee of Conference on the Cotton Bill, Messrs. Morrill, of Vermont, Sherman, and llendricks. The resolution of Mr. Johnson, pro viding for the admission to his seat of the Hon. P. F. Thomas, Senator elect from the State of Mary land, was taken up, and the Senate adjourned, after paying the customary tribute and passing resolu tions expressive of the regret of the Senate on the death of Thomas E. Noell, late a member of the House from Missouri. Jan. 23.—The House Supplementary Reconstruc tion Bill was read the second time. Mr. Doolittle said there was more involved in this bill than in any other. He saw in it a practical dissolution of the Union, a complete overthrow of ten States of the Union. He saw in it a republic north of the Potomac, and au empire south of it. He saw in it a realization of the wildest dreams of Calhoun for a dual executive. He saw all this with alarm, and made this appeal to the committee before its reference was made to modify it. Lie had no voice in that c -,____ PIIICE.. 4d. STAMPED sd. committee, and perhaps his voice was powerless in this Senate, but he appealed to the body to listen to him. In favour of some restrictions in the suffrage, which it was proposed to extend, he would send an amendment to the Chair, that upon the vote for the ratification of the constitutions, the committee shall insert a provision in this or any other so-called Re construction Acts, "No one shall be allowed to vote who has not served a year in the armies of the United States, or can read the Constitution, or who possesses in his own right, or that of his wife, a freehold not less than $250." The Conference Committee on the Cotton Bill made a report agree ing to tie bill as passed by the House, with an amendment allowing the importation of cotton free of duty after April 1, 1868, which was concurred in. On motion of Mr. Howard, the President was requested to communicate to the Senate copies of the orders issued to General Pope and General Meade in reference to the execution of the Recon struction Acts, and also all votes and proceedings in Cabinet meetings relative to the construction of such acts. Mr. Doolittle then proceeded with his argument, in the course of which he was several times interrupted with questions. He compared the Radicals of the South to the Radicals of the North. Mr. Nye asked who he meant by the Radicals of the South? Mr. Doolittle—The Seces sionists. Mr. Morton asked if these same Seces sionists were not now acting with the Democratic party ? Mr. Doolittle—l am not discussing that question. Mr. Sumner—That is precisely the ques tion. Mr. Doolittle—There was no doubt that many of the Radicals of the North would, if they had lived in the South, been in perfect accord with the Radicals of that section. Mr. Doolittle then spoke of the reconstruction policy of the Republicin party, that neither Congress nor the President had at first dreamed of reconstruction on any but a white basis. Even the Wade-Davis Reconstruction Bill, which President Lincoln refused to sign, pro posed reconstruction on a white basis; but a few determined Radicals had caused the great Repub lican party to change its policy. Mr. Morton ob tained the floor, but gave way for the reading of the House resolution relative to the death of Hon. C. S. Hamilton, late a member of the House from Ohio. Mr. Sherman gave an affecting account of the killing of Mr. Hamilton by his insane son, and, after detailing his virtues, moved the customary re solutions, which were agreed to, and the Senate then adjourned.

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Jan. 17. —On motion of Mr. Schenck, the Senate amendments to the Anti-Contraction Bill were taken up and read, when he proceeded to explain what he conceived to be the difference between the two Houses upon this bill. The House Bill, he said, was short and easy enough to understand, and be recommended that the House non-concur the Senate amendment, which was agreed to. The House re sumed the consideration of the Reconstruction Bill, and Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, obserVed he should say nothing about the first section, for that section was affirmed by the 39th Congress, and the people en domed it when they elected the members of the 40th Congress. For all political purposes, therefore, the principle of the first section of the bill is settled and closed. But he wanted to refer especially to the second section of the bill, for it was claimed by the other side of the house that this clause would de prive the President of some of his constitutional prerogatives, and vest them in the General of the army. The Constitution made the President Com mander-in-Chief of the army, but it threw guards around him ; and Mr. Garfield claimed that it was in the power of Congress to-day to vest the ap pointment of all officers of the army in the Secre tary of War, and take it from the President. Mr. Botwell, Of Massachusetts, Mr. Peters, of Maine, Mr. Jencks, of Rhode Island, and Mr. Ross, of Illinois, addressed the House, and after some further business it adjourned at 5-30. Jan. 18.—Mr. Mallory introduced .a bill to aid in the construction of a railroad and telegraph line from Portland, Oregon, to connect with the Pacific Railroad at the northern bend of the Hum boldt, in Nevada.--Referred to the committee on Pacific Railroad. Mr. Ross, of Illinois, rose to a personal explanation with reference to his remarks yesterday regarding Mr. Farnsworth, one of his colleagues, who he then insinuated had drawn the double pay of a brigadier-general, and a member of Congress, and which be nuw retracted. This led to a dispute and recriminations between himself and Mr. Farnsworth, till the House went into Com mittee of the Whole—Mr. Dawes in the Chair—for general debate on the President's annual Message, and adjourned at 4 30.

MR. TRAIN. J Mr. G. P. Train has been lecturing in the ancient town of Youghal, so long represented in Parliament by Mr. Butt, Q.C. The "distinguished visitor," as a Cork paper designates him, was met at the railway station by a large bo , aly of the inhabitants, and escorted to the Assembly Rooms, where he received an enthusiastic reception from a densely-packed audience. He has had, indeed, crowded audiencesem every occasion, although the prices charged for admission have been high ; his " sympathy with the Irish peeple is, therefore, turnng, out a very profitable aflair for him, and certain of the " patriotic " in Cork are evidently beginning to think that Mr. Train cares more about the Celtic half-crowns than he does of the woes, imaginary or real; of those who are so quickly filling his pockets. He commenced his lecture with the modest asser tion that nt the moment ho was speaking "there possibly was cheering in a hundred halls all over America for Ireland." One of the audience here broke in with the e:111, " Three &eel's for General Washington," on which Mr. Train informed him " that Washington had been dead many years; but that, if he had not succeeded, he would have been considered a rebel." Another of his sympathetic auditors here shouted forth, " The same as we are," and was rewarded for this expression of dis loyalty by a round of applause. Such incidents as these seem to nonplus Mr. Train for the moment, but he soon recovers himself. Bravely as he talks now and then, he clearly does not want to put himself within the reach of the law. A letter which he read from a Youghal man who has returned from America on a pension —he lost his leg in some action there—enabled Mr. Train to speak in fulsome fashion of Irish bravery. His own programme for this country, he stated, was "no breaking of the law, no shooting with pistols, no seizure of martello towers ; but something nobler, erander—a demand of Ireland's rights from the British Minister." Mr. Train here dropped the thread of his discourse to express his determi. nation to speak in St. James's Hall after leaving IrCland, and to call to account the English mem bers of Parliament who had dared to insult him six years before. The audience soon seemed to be tired of Train, and one of the number called out, "What about your claim on the British Government for £lO,OOO ?" when he replied that he had sent it in and received the following reply : " Foreign Office, Feb. 4, 1868. Sir,—l am directed by Lord Stanley to acknowledgo the receipt of your letter of the 31st ultimo, enclosing a printed paper.—l am, sir, your most obedient humble servant, " S. HAMMOND. " George Francis Train, Esq., Imperial Hotel, Cork." THE CAPTURE OF-A FENIAN CAPTAIN. The correspondent of the Daily News, writing from Cork, describes the capture of Mackay as a most impor. taut one. "It was only within the past fortnight the police had certain information of Mackay's presence in this city. They then learned that for the past two years Cork had been his headquarters, from which he made periodical visits to the various other localities in the south in which branches of the organisation were. On receipt of this intelligence searches were made in different parts of the city where it was expected he or some trace of his presence would be found, but without effect. T;.e capture made last week seems to have been for the police the proof of their fortnnes. With that they got a cue to the whole organisation of the late raids, and, better still, the lurking place of the leader. The searches were repeated, this time on surer informa• Lion, and on Wednesday morning the police visited and examined the houses in an entire street next to that in which aekay was arrested. But Mackay had got scent, and had changed his quarters. It may be mentioned here that when this search was made Mackay had only just returned from Macroom, whither he had gone to organise the most daring feat he had yet attempted, by which he hoped to make a profound impression on the public mind. This was the seizure of Macroom Castle, to which I have alluded in a previous letter as the subject of an apparently authentic rumour. The castle is the headquarters of the West Cork Artillery Militia, as well as the residence of Colonel White-Hedges, and the Fenians supposed that it contained the arms el the regiment. Mackay's design, we are informed, was to - collect a party of fifty men armed with revolvers, to surprise the castle, overpower the militia staff, and select end carry off as many of the arms as he could. He managed to collect his men for the purpose, but at the last noment they quarrelled, and the enterprise was - abandoned. Mackay, disgusted at their cowardice, walked back to Cork the same night, the distance being about twenty-four miles. The police at length got eertain and definite information as tc where lie was to be found, and arrangements for his capture were made on a very extensive and complete scale. Knowing their man, the police determined to spread a net through which ho would have little chance of escape. The plan of opera. Lions was kept secret until a late, hour of the even ing,. when instructions were issued for Leveral 1 arties of men from the city stations—numbering in all upwards )f a hundred—to take up positions at the ft rther !xtremity of every avenue leading from Market atreet, so that it would be impossible for any one to leave it unobserved. The street communicates by several narrow lanes with the North Main-street on one side, and with the quays and a quarter inhabited by very poor people on the other. At the end, near Patrick-street, it forms a narrow neck easily guarded, and at the other extremity the Bridewell commands the approaches. Every one of these points was closely guarded. Most of the policemen employed were fully armed a rescue being apprehended and with them were a large number of detectives. At nine o'clock, when the cordon had been drawn, Head-constables Geale and Walsh and Constable Casey, all dressed in plain clothes, walked carelessly up to a public-house owned by a man named Cronin, in Market-street, close to Portney's-lane, entered, and at once shut the door ; at the same moment three other constables in plain clothes issued from the lane and stood before the house. The head. constables inside walked straight into a parlour behind the shop, in which there were four men—Captain Mackay, Cronin, the owner of the house, Mannix, a fisherman, and a man named Walsh or Laxter. Geale produced a revolver and seized Mackay. The other constables, who were also armed, arrested his three companions. Mackay stood for a moment overwhelmed with surprise ; then, recovering himself, he wrenched limself from the grasp of the head-constable, and made s dash for the stairs. Geale rushed after him, and caught aim in his arms as he had reached the hall. Both were muscular men, and a desperate struggle ensued. Geale, though advanced in years, was the more vigorous of the two, and pinned his prisoner against the wall. Casey then came to Geale's aid, and Mackay, seeing the odds against him, contrived by a desperate effort to get his hands free, and drew from his breast a revolver. Geale caught the pistol, and, whirling the prisoner round, they both fell on the ground. Mackay struggled to regain control of the weapon, and in the struggle it went off, having either been fired by him at Geale, or exploded accidentally. The oall, missing Geale, struck Constable Casey in the calf of the leg, inflicting a severe wound. Genie then mastered ais man, wrenched the revolver from him, and held him 'aelpless on his back. The detectives outside hearing the struggle rushed in, and Mackay and the three others whom Walsh had held quiet under the point of his pistol, were secured. In the meantime the police had been closing n on the house, and a party of upwards of fifty men were &awn up outside the house. A large crowd had also ;ollected, and from all the locality people were flocking aurriedly in until the street was crammed with people ,rofoundly excited. Cries were raised that the police were uurdering a Fenian; and the people pressing in on the )olice, it was thought prudent to drive them back. A charge Ras accordingly made, and one man received a bayonet %tab in the hip, which necessitated his removal to the in. i rm ary. After this the crowd kept at a respectful dis e,ance. M ac k a y and his companions were then brought out, closely guarded by p o lice. Mackay Was greatly agi tated, breathing heavily from the distress of his struggle, and casting quick glances at every side to see whether there was any hope of escape or rescue : looking also to his ;nerds at each sidemtashene if habo m opue e it d e i sh ta ehnn; tin e s g a no a fd s f p uth ri rte n h g gelrea f r o em r si l s i ot b fa e n rti e. . circleshe skewed d r ß e t o l t v h e e r s, The crowd was only curious, and there was no disturb ance. When taken into the Bridewell Mackay's passion overpowered his discretion. He gave his name as Marply; but began immediately after to taunt the police, and boast of what he had clone to annoy and perplex them. 'I did lead you a dance, governor,' he said to the head constable; ' and if I had half the money you have, you darned sneaks, I would have gived you something to do that would sur prise you.' He was very anxious to know who sold him; end cursed bitterly at the traitor. After a while he cooled Sown into a vein of mild chaff ; the other men said nothing. Mackay's loss to the Fenians is said to be irreparable. He has been identified as the leader of the attack on the mar tello tower, and on Messrs. Alports' gunshop." The Hon.
