A superstition appears to be prevalent among the Hindoos that the British rule must terminate in due course within one hundred years from the date of its foundation. That cycle of a Century —as we have before intimated—has. but just now been actually completed ! A Hundred years havinp; elapsed since 1757, when the great Anglc- Indian Empire may be said to have been first organised. A similar superstition, it may be remembered, was really in vogue a year or two ago in reference to the anticipated close, at the end of four hun dred years, of the Turkish rule at Constantinople ! In each ,instance, of course, " the wish was father to the thought !" It was encouraging enough to Russian ambition —that opportune freak of fatalism which seemed to point out the very time when the mere touch of the Muscovite soptre was to strike down with palsy the pride and uissance of the Osmanlis ! As encouraging as thi3 new andlkindred belief is now to the hopes of the Asiatic race—a conviction that the hour has struck for their liberation at last from the long thraldom of their British conquerors. In Heaven's good time the folly •" both superstitions will have been alike swiftly and signally demonstrated. Already the work'. knows perfectly well that the notion of the downfall of the Turkish empire, after 400 years a ll° lll -1 have passed by, was, in spita of the CZAR and l.as myrniidow, after all the rawest phantasy and delusion. The fifth century has commenced, three or four summers of it have already gone by, and still the Mahometan lieges of the Sultae Caliph have 3)ot vet been driven across the Bos phorus ! The supposed fatal period has 1. ng since expired, and still the anointed representative of the House of Romaneff has not yet ccuducte 1 his victorious legions through those gates of Staml)oul, the streets of Alri alloPle, and the channel of the Dardanelles ! The Itus e i ati , may fl Ater themselveP, it is true, with th e notion that er entually the long-looked-for hour of tb e i r sucre , s in the Golden Horn will inevitably b e struel; after ad these reiterated disappointments. But IA any rate the fact has by this time become indis,,ntable Oat it was not lsonu led as it ma 4 prophesied that it would be sounde:l, as it was superstitiously believed that it would be sounded, at tl , e fatal instant predicted—the close of the fours n century.

But we shall be greatly sur prised indeed if Lord PALMERSTON fall into the trap. If there be a well•founded charge against M. ROLLIN or his companions, the offence has been committed on English ground, and we ven ture to assert that none of them will shrink from a stringent investigation before an impartial jury. Let such a trial take place, and we have doubt as to the result. Buf, as it is, the dodge is too transparent. Gullible as the English may be, they cannot be prevailed upon to swallow such a palpable canard. The career of the truly unfortunate Transit may afford a salutary lesson to "My Lords." Should they profit thereby, the loss and inconve nience occasioned by her numerous accidents will be fully compensated to the nation. We fear, however, that Sir C. WOOD is incorrigible. Every additional proof of the grievous mistakes into which he has been betrayed, only strengthens and confirms his previous impressions ; and it would take a dozen Transits, endangering a dozen regi ments, to alter his views. He may say with the old Roman— REINFORCEMENTS FOR INDIA. " Video raeliora proboque: deteriora sequor." He will not have the candour or manliness to confess his error, or to enter on a more judicious course. His reason may be satisfied, but The following force is under orders for embarca , tion for India as reinforcements. One troop of Horse Artillery. Three batteries of Royal Artillm y. Four companies of Royal Engineers. Three regiments of cavalry. Four regiments of infantry. _ To embark as soon as transport is ready. " The man convinced against his will Is of the same opinion still ;" and Sir CRARLES WOOD will maintain his, until a majority in Parliament compels him to bend be fore the storm which he can no longer resist. It was but recently that he delivered in the House of Commons an elaborate eulogium on the superior qualities of the Transit. He appeared to be totally oblivious of the disappointment oc casionel to the Peers, who fancied that they would have an opportunity of witnessing the naval review, but who met with a deplorable stoppage "in Transitu." He also ignored the dangerous accident at the very commence ment of her voyage, when she all but foundered before losing sight of the English coast. In vain was it that she took refuge at Corunna almost in a sinking state. All these mishaps only increased his admiration, and nothing less than the loss of an entire regiment would suffice. Well, he has very nearly had the required proof. Seven hundred gallant soldiers, after enduring the most serious inconvenience, had their lives endangered and eventually escaped, with the loss of all their property—almost by a miracle I The ill-fated vessel struck upon a coral reef, four miles from shore in the Straits of Banco. While her head rested just above water, at her stern there were 11 fathoms, and at one side as much as 17 fathoms. Her total loss was at once accomplished, and so rapidly did the water gain on them, that the troops were hurried in the boats and fortuna tely landed, although with the loss of all they bad previously possessed. This, be it remarked, was in perfectly smooth water where the sea was like a lake. Had there been anything approaching we shall not say to a storm, but even to a stiff breeze, the great majority of these men must have been sacrificed, and their valuable services for ever lost to the country. A heavy surf would have been attended with similar results. Sir C. WOOD is not entitled to claim credit for the miti gated character of the catastrophe. So far as he was concerned, the whole of the troops might have shared the fate of the ill-fated ship. What is required, as we have repeatedly pointed out, is a judicious application of the auxiliary power of the steam screw. It helps, on an emergency, just as a pair of extra leaders may drag an overburdened coach through a heavy road or up a steep hill. It will carry on during a calm, when the vessel would otherwise be lying motionless on the water, and weeks may be saved by due assistance in the time of need. It was proved, beyond the possibility of doubt, that the average time taken by 98 sailing-vessels was 130 days to India, while the average of those possessing the auxiliary screw was but 93 days a difference of five weeks and two days ! Why, the fate of the Anglo-Indian Empire may depend on far less t'lan tiaat which is wantonly sac ri ficed by the transport system. Our large screw men-of-war would be admirablyadapted for the service; and, in addition, there ar© many old ones now lying rotting in our harbours whiclA could, at a trifling expense, be converted into serviceable vessels by the pre per application of the screw. They would last for many years under the circumstances, and be available either es transports or for the defenc a of our coast. The gunboats, too, so re- needy eon;tructed, might be made useful. How many men could they convey to India or to Alexandria ? They would be available along the coast or at the different rivers, and, by judicious arrangements, the men Conveyed across the btli inns could be speedily carried on to the scene of action, ready to cross bayonets with the sanguinary and treacherols mutineers. The Board of Admiralty wants overhauling. " My Lords" must be called over the coals ; but there is nothing in which reform is so much re.' LATEST NEWs. MARSEILLES, SEPT. 3. Despatches from Constantinople, of the 26th ult., announce that Lord Stratford de Redcliffe and M. de Prokesch had, on the previous day, notified to the Porte the agreement of the Allied Powers. The Divan immediately forwarded to Moldavia, by telegraph, an order to recommence the elec- ions. The Fresse d'Orient reports that, on occasion of the fete of the Emperor Napoleon, which was celebrated at Bucharest on the 15th ult., M. de Talleyrand was received with acclamations on his exit from the church. The crowd carried flam beaux, and shouted vivats while performing the national dances. A crown of flowers was offered to the statue of Rou-mania. M. de Talleyrand replied that the strong sym pathies of France and of the Emperor for the Principalities were unvarying, and that recent events were the proof of this. Letters and papers by the same conveyance state the revival of Mussulman fanaticism. Dis- turbances aud assassinations were increasing in Palestine. Personal encounters even had taken place among the women of the new Pacha. At Jerusalem, the Latin Patriarch had been threatened, and was obliged to give in his resig nation. Throughout the whole of Syria there was no thing heard of but robberies, extortions of money, and threats against the Christians. PARIS, THURSDAY.

The Deutsche Al'goneine Zeituag publishes a letter from Damascus, datted Aug. 5, in which it is stated that the son of an English merchant there, named Whyte, whose fortune is estimated at 2,000,0001., bad at his own expense raised and equipped a corps of 30 Europeans, with whom he had the day before set off to join the British forces in the East Indies, as a volunteer, together with his " following." The course they hid taken was in the first instance to Beyrout, to embark there for Egypt, and to proceed thence to the East Indies. The uniform in which these volunteers have been clothed is very similar to that of our Rifles. They have, however, been armed with the fowling-pieces they were accustomed to at home, and also carry yatagans. Mr. Whyte's Adjutant and Quartermaster is a Mr. Finn, a relation of the English Consul of that name at Jerusalem. He is described as having formerly served 12 years as a Company's officer in Bengal, and as a man of middle age and of athletic stature. Attached to this lit , le expedition is a Swiss surgeon of the name of Buehmaun, who lately served as as4istant-surgeon with our army in the Crimea.

A Comeil of Ministe-s was held yesterday at the residence of the Minister of Justice. The French Government has instructed its Re presentatives in foreign countries to disavow the Miaratist proclamations which have been distri buted. These proclamations, however, have prot. dated no effect in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. The Minister of Marine has received despatches from Hong Kong to the 12th of July. They an nounce that Admiral Guerin had despatched twe ships of war to protect M. de Mon tigny, the French Consul at Shanghai, whose person had been threatened. The Moniteur publishes a decree promulgating the convention concluded between France and the Republic of Venezuela for the reciprocal establish ment, of consuls in the two countries. The con vention contains the usual clauses relative to affixing the arms of the nation over the consular residences ; their personal inviolability, as well as that of the archives and papers connected with their office, &e. Politics occupy the attention of the Paris jour nals in only a very insignificant degree. The Siecle dilates on the advantage of the water-cure and on the great obligations under which Priess nitz, the inventor, has placed mankind by intro ducing it to the world. The Union complains of the continued dearness of butchers' meat iu Paris, and decbtres itself opposed to the present monopoly. The Constitutionnel contains a !ono article on the work of an engineer of the Pones-et-Chaussee,, named Valles, respecting the dreadful inundations which so frequently visit France, and the best means of neutralising, if not preventing, the dam ige which they produce. Our contemporary, adopting the views of the author, expresses the opinion that in undations,if properly regulated, are far from being n pn j a ure relotru the water is ares idueer ,t fertili s i ng c h arac t er. o i i i rfit s nhge to b muddye thi being land of a o most Tne consequence is that, in, succeediug years, the land which has been flooded produ es far more abun dantly than it had done before. The whole ques tion to be s_ lved therefore is so to manage matters that the waters may run off without precipit ttion, and the removal of the valuable surface-soil be pre vented. Our contemporary, on the subject, makes the following observations : " It is easy to see the error committed by those who, instead of combating the mischief effected by turning to account the good which it might produce, have pre tended to suppress inundations altogether by confining the waters within certain channels. Such la • been the object of the greater part a the hydraulic works under taken for many years past. Longitudinal dykes have been raised t o both sides of the rivers, and it hat been sought to force the water, whatever might be its mass, to flow off in the circumscribed apace 'race 1 out for if. What has resulted from this systems) ? On the one hand, the valleys have been deprived of the prec:ous benefit the dep )sits ; and on the oth e-, catastrophes have not been prevented, but rather aggravated. The sy,'.e aof dykes, wrote the Ea:wet-et. last year in Lis w.ell known letter to the Minister of Public Wt.rks, is only a pallia tive, ruinous to the State, a , d impieect as regards this interests to be protecteo. • I.: f.c - , t .ey do not offer the conditions of reiistance necesatery to keep b sck the water, and are always brok,n thrt ugh ia seine plsces during considerable floods, and the water thee rushes over the surrounding land with greater violence that it has bet n kept at a greater height by the dykes themselves. It is impossible for these dykes to be made more resisting, as no one can calculate with any degree of certainty that they will be high enough to prevent their being over flowed, as no limit can be filed to the height to which the water may rise. That system of defence is therefore ineffectual, dangerow, and contrary to the obi set which it is proposed to attain." What, therefore, are the means to be employe d and the works to ba executed to prevent the ill effects of the rise of rivers, to lessen their violence, and to convert into a benefit what is now a great disaster This is what the Constitutionnet proposes ti examine in a future article, _ _ The Debats, in no icing the elevation of Mr. Macaulay to the House of Lords, pays the following well merited tribute t r the talents of the distin guished writer : ' "'role j ist eco upense bocours both. the Government which has (o..ferred it and' the eminent historian who, after havini, served his country in the Howie of Com mons, will find in the House of Lords a theatre m 're iu cunformi y with the el Tahiti of. his talent and the phi losophic& cbaracter of his eloqu-mce.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 27th ult., says :—" The entrance into this city of the Grand Duchess Olga Feodotowna (Princess Coecilia of Baden), who is betrothed to the Grand Duke Michael, took place this day with great solemnity. The cortege was opened by a body of the Cossacks of the Guard ; then came outriders and lackeys in splendid liveries ; and then masters of the cere monies, marshals of the court, and other dignitaries. Next came the new Grand Duchess, accompanied by the Empress Alexandra, in a magnificent car iage drawn by eight horses ; and the Emperor, the Grand Dukes, the Princes of Baden and Olden burg, all on horseback, surrounded the vehicle. The cortege, starting from the Peterhoff railway station, went direct to the cathedral of Our Lady of Masan, where the Grand Duchess and the illus trious personages who accompanied her were re ceived by the metropolitan, and where they offered up prayers. They afterwards went in procession to the winter palace. In the evening the capital was illuminated." THE MOLDAVIAN ELECTIONS. The Ministerial Oesterreiehische Correspondenz of Vienna thus makes known to the world that the Moldavian elections were annulled by the Porte, at the requeA of all the partif s to the treaty of March 30 : "On tie 27th of August, Prince Kallimachi, the Torkieb Ambassador at this Court, male known to the Government of his Majesty the Emperor that the Sublime Porte, having noted (akt neltmend) the communications received from the Vienna and Lon don Cabinets, issued orders that the Moldavian elections shonld be annulled, kind that new ones -hould take place in 15 days from the time of the recept of the orders relating thereto. " Similar comcnunic itions have :also been made to those Governments whose representative., in consequence of the recent difference, bad broken off their diplomatic relations with the Ririe. " The latest intelligence from the Turkish capital is, that the representatives of the Sates above alluded to have renewed their diplomatic relations with the Porte, and hoimted their flags on their respective residences." The 'Moldavian Secre' ary of State ad interim, has published in the official paper the following article on the subject of certain conficlental letters which, about a fortnight since, figured in the columns of almost all the leading organs of the press : "Several newspapers have published letters relating to the Principality of Moldavia, which were stoles from the Kaimakan,PrinceCimaky-Vo t ,o•orides, and not hist by him as the persons who received them asserted. The cmtents and text of the letters in question were greatly altered in the publication, and the undersigned Secretary of State ad interim has therefore been instructed by his Excahmey Prince Kaimakan, formally to deny the authenticity of several phrases which were invented by a small party that dons not hesitate to calumuia.qi most respectable persons, in order to make them hostile to the Kaimakan. " A. PHOTIITS, "Secretary of State ad interim." Sir Thomas Wyse, English minister at Athens, arrived at Vienna some days ag ) from Carlsbad, basing receive•l orders from his government to re turn immediately to his post. " Count Buol," says a letter from Vienna of the 30th, " yesterday hid a long conference with Sir H. Seymour, the English ambassador, and in Vie evening despatches were sent off to Baron de Pro keseli at Constantinople." A tele, , 2raphic despatch from Hamburg announces that the King of Denmark has convoked the Diet of the Duchy of L - tueelanrg for the 9th, to deli berate on new constitutional measures to be sub mitted by the Government. The Duke and Duchess de Braba,nt, after attend ing the openiiig of the Exhi hi• ion of Fine Arts at Brussels on Tuesday, went by a special train to Malines to receive the Grand Duchess Maklmilovna of Russia, and her husband Duke George of Meek lonburg-Strelitz. Shortly after their arrival at Malines, the Grand Duchess and the Duke arrived from Germany, and the illustrious personages pissed some time together at the station. The Grand Duchess and the Duke then proceeded to Ostend, where they joined the Grand Duchess Helen and the young Dukes of Leuchteribbrg, who have been staying there some time. The Duke and Duchess de Btabant, on their part, returned to Brus6el4, and in the evening attended the Thea•re de la Monnaie, which re-opened for the season with the opera of La Reine de Chypre. The Madrid journals of the 29th ultimo contain no other news than that M.

".'4x7 ATALERIC A. [A summary of the following appeared in Thl Sun of yesterday The news of the three days covered by the Fulton's advice is of minor import. The New York papers follow with great interest the Atlantic Telegraph enterprise, of the suspension of which they were not aware, and speak well of Lord Carlisle's " hand some speech" at Valentia. The Indian mutiny is also discussed with eagerne3s. Great surprise is expressed at the course taken by Lord Canning in gagging ;olrnals of hiel characterlike those of India, and still greater surprise that the English public ac quiesce tamely in a measure so foreign tl their traditions of liberty. A meeting had Lean held in New York of men who hadbeen enlisted in the States by British agents during the war in the Crimes. Their object in meeting was " to prevent any more men being de ceived by the fallacious promises of the British go vernment. Many were the deceptions which had been practised upon them, andmany were the hard ships which they had suffered, and they were re solved to put a stop to the enlistments then going on in New York for the British service in India." A very bold and successful uttering of counterfeit money took place on the night of the 18th in New York, when about 10,000 dollars worth of spurious bills, all of the denomination of five dollars, on the Lee Bank of Massachusetts, was circulated in every possible place where bills could be changed. The large hotels were among the sufferers ; the theatres suffered ; every grocery, liquor-store, and shop was inundated with them, until at last a suspicion was aroused, and several arrests were made. The police were chasing the culprits, and it is believed that about forty persons in all would be held to answer. The correspondence of the War Department at Washington confirms a report from Fort Kearny that a party of drovers, with 800 head of beef cattle In charge destined for the Utah expedition, had been attacked by the Cheyenne Indians, and the cattle run off. The same correspondence shows that Californiawag,gon-road parties have been delayed by Indian hostilities and sickness. The New York papers state a very serious fact in connection with the Utah expedition : they say that two of the United States infantry regiments lost as many as 500 men by deertion. Brigham Young, it is said, is hardening his heart, and preparing to give the Federal t.oops infinite trouble. The New York Times has stated that the mission of Captain Simms, of the United States navy, to the East, is connected with a project for seizing For mosa. The New York Herald denies this ; and the Philadelphia Press gives the following as an authen tic statement on the subject Commodore Armstrong, commanding the East India squadron, received a letter from Mr. Robinet, an enter• prising American merchant, who for more than a year has been carrying on the mercantile and shipping business at Ape's-hill, Island of Formosa, with the in formation that the American ship Highflyer, wrecked upon that i-land, had been plundered, and its officers and craw murdered by the natives. Some time after, another American vessel, the Progressive, was seized by the Chinese authoriei, and the officers and crew impri soned. They were only released on the payment of a heavy ransom. All these proceedings wera contrary to the express understanding with the authorities of Ihe island, that Mr. Robinet should carry on his business unmolested, and under which he had been acting, with the American flag flying from his house, for at least 12 months. Commodore Armstrong despatched Capt. Simms to inquire into and a4cerfain the correctness of Mr. Rohl net's report. The commodore instructed him in a cau• tious, prudent, and friendly manner, to learn from the authorities all that could be certained on the subject, reporting to him, by every opportunity, such informa tion as he should obtain. His head-quarters were directed to be at Mr. Robinet's, Ape's-hill, where the American flag bad been flyin4 as stated by Mr. RAinet, by per mission of the authorities fur more than a year. He was to abstain from hostilities as far as possible, but in case of necessity ho was to call upon the American ship f..3cience. Ail these facts were communicated to Dr. Parker, our commissioner to China, with the further sta:ement that Captain Simms would be kept at Formosa until the Government could be heard from, and that this step might be necessary to legitimate a prior American foot hold, in me our Government should lo k to future re prisals and occupancy. Dr. Parker approved what had been done. The la•t communication to the Govern ment was dated April 10, 1857, at which time nothing had been heard from Captain Simms. A murder was committed in Broadway, New York, early on the mo: ping of the 22d ult., in the " Shaw House," a dining saloon. The parties to the affray were an actor named Nymns, lately engaged at Wallack's Theatre, and a Tombs lawyer named Wk;staff. They met in the bar room and soon quarrelled—about a woman, it is sad—and after, many hard epithets Wagstaff struck Nymns a powerful blow. Nymns, re covering in a moment, drew . a revolver and fired twice in quick succession at Wag staff. The first ball hit Wagstaff's arm, and pa , s,l iwo the breast, injuring the lungs. The second ball passed - through the month, and upwards through the bead, a part of which was shot off. Wagstaff fell to the floor a corpse. Nymns retreated immediately to the street, and had not been ar tested when the steamer left. Wagataff was well known about the town, as is also Nymns. They moved among the crowd, both male and female, generally denominated as "fast." - The sales of cotton in New York on the 21st were confined to about 500 Lales, 200 of wh'ch were in transitu. Middling up:ands were quoted at 151 c., and middling New Orleans at 16 c. Flour was dull and irte c ;ular, and one descriptions closed at a further decline of about 5 cent 3 per brl.

In the Rained Market prices wore also in favour of buyers, and the transactions extremely limited.

EMPIMOR NAPOLP:ON'S Vi 1T TO GERMS The Moniteur de la Moselle of Wednesday, states a fact not noticed by any of the Paris journals, which shows that the Emperor Napoleon's project togo to Germany is now offi c i a l. At Ch a l on s his Majesty was waited upon by a deputation from the council-general of the department of the Moselle, who expressed a hope that he would visit Metz. The Emperor said in answer that he would have great pleasure in doing so " on his way to Germany, after the camp manoeuvres." The Emperor has issued the following order of the day to the camp : Soldiers,—l have assembled you here under my own command, because it is useful that the army should, by living, together in camp, acquire a common spirit, and receive the same discipline and instruction. The guard, as a corps d'elite, ought more especially to make unre mitting efforts to maintain the rank which it holds from old tradition as well as by its recent services on the field of battle. Montesquieu says that the Romans considered peace as a preparation for war ; and the truth is, that the sue oesses obtained by young armies are in general but the result of assiduous exercise during peace. I do not doubt that both officers and soldiers will zealously co-ope rate with me in the course which I propose to pursue. To officers I recommend a paternal severity—to soldiers necessary obedience—to both a willing mind and strict attention to discipline. For discipline is re,pect toyour uniform, and the uniform is the emblem of that noble professi ,n of abnegation and self-devotion, of which you are justly proud. Let us never forget that every cha racteristic sign of the army, beOnning by the flag, re• presents a moral idea which it is your duty to honour. This camp will not then be a vain spectacle offered to public curiosity, but a serious school, which we -ball turn to profit by persevering labour, and the results of our studies will be evident if ever our country shall want you.

The Memorial Bordelais, in its impression of the 31st ult., after a brief su►nmary of tie recent deplorable massacres in India, publishes the fol lowing appeal to the French people : "All Christ'an hearts, without distinction of nation• silty, will sympathise with the sufferings of their brethren in Bengal, and in the other provinces where the rebellion prevails, and will be ready to come forth to their aid. "But we Frenchmen, who in recent arid different calamities, especially at the time of the earthquake in Martinique, and at the time of the inundations of 1856, received such substantial proof of British sympathy—we who fought and suffered side by side with the English in the late Crimean war—we hol , l it as our duty to be the first to come forward to offer help to those of our friends and allies who are in misfortune. " We therefore express the wish that a public sub set iption may be opened without delay to receive the gifts of those who are desirous of giving a proof of their sympathy for the unhappy ♦ictims of the Indian insur rection. " At the head of this list we doubt not will appear the names of the most august personages and of the highest functionaries. All the notabilities of the country will subscribe. " There is not a•town in France wich will not make it a point d honneur to appear in the list, and we need not and that the city of Bordeaux will figura among the first." IRISH AND SCOTCH BANKS.

X1,17,916 FATAL AGRARIAN OUTRAGE IN LONGFORD.—The en' Joined statement appears in a letter from Longfor d ' dated Monday night :—" The peace of this usua ll9 tranquil cour.ty was last night broken by a fearfu l outraga of an agrarian character, whereby the ho ts two men are placed in extreme jeopardy. Thl facts of the case are these :—On Sunday night a party° armed men, nurAberiog, it is said, 40 iudividual e r knocked at the house of a man named Mattbeg i Farrell, who resides in Moydon, about three mile ° from this town, and on being refused admittance hum° . diately commenced smashing the door. Farrell, with his son, who happened to be in the place at the tiMer go t out of bed and armed themselves with pitch; forks, determined to keep the villains out at all hazards. However, after a considerable resistance the door gave way, and the party rushed into the house , . vowing ver geauce against their devoted victims, who's they at once surrounded, and deliberately di,charged fearful volley of shot and slugs into their bodies, Alter repeated id-usage the cowardly villains retired. It is almost miraculous how the unfortuna te nimbi could have survived. Th e s li es t F a rrell i ° face is c unpletely disfigur e d f rom th e s h o t ; an u ,' h )uld he recover, Lis ey es i g ht can never be restored' His son has not received so much injury ; big arm , and shoulder are muc h i n j ure d wi th othe r bruises of a less elli us character. The polio?' on receiving information of the occurrence, iruniecw ately scoured the country, but we regret to say, no trace of the ruffians has been found. The on l y cause that can be assigned for this outrage is al some parties had been evicted from the got° occupied by i Ferr e ll, who is a caretaker on the estate, en d that after repeated threatening he refused togiveit up 411 : discontinue his employment, and that this has been te, length the consummation of their object. It i s mos _ painful to state that outrage of this discription A y not uncommon recently in the locality in which this t place.
