From the state ment of Miss Maitha Bruce, it appeared that the sailor went to their house on Wednesday last, and commenced asking for a voting woman, with whom he was acquainted on d former visit to the port. He was told that she had got married, and this information seemed to affect him very much, and lie said he would destroy himself. On dattirday afternoon, he appeared more than usually depressed in his spirits, and when he ltft the kitchen, the young woman watched him into the back parlour, where lie secured himself by locking the door. Shortly after, she went and looked in at the window, when she saw that he had hung himself to the gas lamp. She Immediately gave an alarm, and the door was forced open, and he was cut :town before life had gone. In hdaiver to the m.- .tsfrate, the offender said, " I did it in a hurry,--I i nave 4 been shipwrecked and lost all my clothe• and upon coming to Liverpool, I was told that tb _d girl had got married, and that was a blow to me. but I am Sorry toi it, and I won't do so any more." lis'e magistrate " Oh, you can easily get another ,ship and another sweetheart," It being understood ;that .the poor fellow was a very honest and hard work ing man, he was ordered to stand down. . UNJUSTIFIABLE. CONDUCT OF A POLICEMAN.—A re spectably dressed young man, who gave his name as 'Michael Seggar, was brought up by police constable 218, on the following charge : —I was, said the policeman, on duty on Saturday afternoon, when I saw the prisoner standing at the corner of a street, and I told him to go along, when le turned round, gyve me some sauce, and I locked him up. Mr. Mansfield : What do you charge him with ? Policeman : With loitering about. The young man said—He had just left his work, prior to which, he and several of his shopmates had agreed to go and see the " Route to India," in Lime street, and that they shonld wait at the corner of the street until they all got there. He was there first, and was standing waiting at the corner of the street, with a pipe in his mouth. when the policeman came up and gave him a push off the parapet. He asked him what it was for, when the policeman took him into cus'ody, and locked him up. He never spoke an insolent word to him, or made the least resistance. Mr. Mansfield (to the Policeman) : Your conduct is most unjustifiable and abominable. This man was doing nothing at all when you interfered with him, and had him locked up for forty-eight hours. The young man was then discharged. CHILD DESERTION.—John Welsh was committed for one month for leaving his family chargeable to the parish. Mr. Hughes, from Brownlow hill, appeared to substantiate the charge, and in doing so said, he had before been punished for the like offence. BIRKENHEAD 3. BRYANB, B Q A. GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.—Martha Trueman, a prosti. tute, and who bad been before this court on eighteen previous occasions, was charged with having robbed Mr. Abraham Nicholson of four or five sovereigns. It appeared from the evidence given in support of the charge, that the prosecutor, who lives in Ash field Terrace, near the Woodchurch Road, and is a clerk in some' office in Liverpool, that on Saturday evening last, he crossed to Woodside Ferry by the nine o'clock boat, and that when he arrived there, he had between £ll and £l2 in gold and silver in his right hand trousers pocket, that he had had nothing to drink till he got to Birken head, when he stopped at one of the taverns near the ferry, with a male friend, and had one glass of gin and water. That from there he went to the Market Inn in Market Street, where he.had more drink, and while there, be became quite insensible, and recollected nothing more until he found himself in the police office, and that he had lost betvi een £4 and £5 of his money, and in all probability he would never have heard anything more of it but for the very praiseworthy conduct of two other persons who happened to be witnesses of the com mission of the robbery by the prisoner, and which will be best told in their own words. Hannah Turner, who gave her evidence in a very straightforward manner, stated *that her mother kept the Crown spirit vaults in Market street, and between 9 and 10 o'clock on Saturday night last, the prisoner, whom she knew, came to the vaults dragging the prosecutor in with her, who appeared to be quite insensible, and having seated him on a form in the snug, near the bar, called for something to drink, which she refused to serve her with, saying —" No, I shall not, for I am sure the gentleman cannot drink it," to which the prisoner made no reply, and she (witness) went to attend to other customers. Shortly after she heard a scuffle in the snug, and on kneeling on the counter to look into the snug, to see what it was, she observed that the gentleman had slipped off the seat on to the floor, and the prisoner was on her knees with her hand in his pocket. She (witness) asked her what she was doing, to which she replied, I am looking for 6d to pay for a glass. That she immediately went rouud the counter into the snug, and when she got there, prisoner drew her hand out, and she could see that the prisoner had some money in it ; she then seized the prisoner's hand and tried to take it from her, but could not do so During the struggle to get the money from the prisoner, a young man, named Joseph Radley, who happened to be at the bar, came to her assistance, when the prisoner said she would go and fetch a car to take the gentleman home. Ridley, however, happened to have seen her with her hand in the gentleman's pocket, and said he should not let her go until he had sent for a police officer, which he did, and gave her in charge. Inspector Thomson said, he received charge of the prisoner, and while she was in the police office, he observed her to lift her hand up towards her mouth, which he immediately seized hold of, and in it he found two sovereigns and a half, and 13s 21c1 more was afterwards found on her when at the Bridewell. The Inspector also added that he and a brother officer went to the Crown Vaults, and there found Mr. Nicholson, who, to all apeparance, was dead, and some whitish matter was oozing out of his mouth, over his coat, as if he had been drugged. They removed him to the police office, and, upon searching him, found £7 in gold and 12s in silver and copper on him,' which very nearly made the amount the prosecutor stated he had when he left Liverpool. The prosecutor distinctly denied having been with the prisoner, or even seen her at the Market Inn or any other house, The prisoner, who pretended to cry, declined asking the witnesses any questions, and, in answer to the charge, said, " I never took the money," was then committed for trial at the next Cheshire Quarter Sessions. A SNIP .tan TYPO IN TROUBLE.— James Maher, a tailor, who gave his address, 27, Field street, Liverpool, and Charles Maelcsn, a printer, who gave his address as 63, Cheapside, Liverpool, were charged with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting Catherine O'Reilly, on Saturday night last. Catherine O'Reilly stated that when near the market, on Saturday night, she was suddenly attacked from behind by a person who placed one arm round her neck, so as to nearly choke her, and, with the other hand he held her hand, and she recollected nothing more. When she recovered herself, she found they had gone away, but had not taken anything from her. Their conduct was witnessed by a young man who atternred to secure them, but they got away. O t h er witnesses deposed to having seen them knock a man and boy down; in fact, their conduct was like two madmen ; they were, however, secured, and, upon being called upon to answer the charge, said they had had some drink. The magistrate, however, said it was such ruffianly conduct that could not be encouraged; drink was no excuse, and they must each pay lOs and costs, or go to prison for 14 days. EXTRAORDINARY CASE; OF MONEY LOST AND POUND The details of the following curious case, were beard yesterday before Mr. Benn, the presiding magistrate at the police court. About eleven o'clock on Saturday morning, two boys, named Green, who resides at 41, Banister street, and \ John Finerty, living at 35, Greenland street, oflthe respective ages of 12 and 14, were in Lord street, and when nearly at the top, in front of the Crescent, the lad Green picked up (in the centre of the street) a bundle of paper, and on examining it be saw it contained £45 in Bank of England notes. He asked a gentlemen if they were good notes ? and he replied they were, and said, " take them, my lad, to the central police office, in Dale street." The boys went along Castle street, on their way to the office, when at the top of Castle street, entering Dale street, a young fellow named William Riley, (who had followed them from the place where they picked up the notes) came up, and snatched the notes out of Green's hand, saying, " come, my lads, I will show you the .owner—they belong to Mr. Robb." Ile then took them through several streets, tip and down, and at last they were taken into a passage, 23, Basnett street, where there was a Working jeweller's shop, kept by a man named James Mortimer. He then told the boys to wait on the stairs until he went to ascertain if the notes were goad. He then entered the shop of Mortimer, and the lads remained for nearly half an hour, when Mortimer came to them and told them to gn away, as the notes were bad. The lad Green (who is most intelligent) thinking all was not right, said to his companion, " do you watch here, and I will go for an officer." He accordingly went, and subsequently returned with officer Hess, No. 600, who searched all the work shops in the passage, but got nothing. At last he came to a small place off Mortimer's shop, which he found locked, and on looking about he discovered the prisoner inside, who refused at first to open the door, when the officer threatened to break "it in. The prisoner then opened the door, and he was at once pointed out by the lads as the person who took tfre notes. The officer then took him into custody, and on searching the place he found four £5 notes concealed. It appeared from the evi dence of an apprentice of Mortimer, that the prisoner (who "was one of his workmen) entered the workshop, and exhibited the notes to him, and after some conversa tion, Mortimer told witness that he might go tg p his dinner, and at the same time he locked Riley in the place where he was found, and passed out with £25 of the notes, saying he would ascertain if they were good— he went, bat had not returned since. It appeared that during the time the boy Green was out for the officer, Mortimer got away with the notes. Whilst all this was going on, Mr. Sharp, a merchant, having an office in the Goree, called at the Central Police-office, and described a loss of £45 in notes, which be had had, under the following circumstances :—A short time before the boys found the notes, Mr. Sharp had drawn 145 out of Barned's bank, he crossed the street, and in the centre he put his hand in his pocket, to take out a sovereign which he wanted to pay in a shop opposite, and in withdrawing his hand he had no doubt he pulled out the bundle of notes. He had taken the numbers and dates of the notes, and he at once identified the £2O found by officer 600 as a portion of those he had lost. The prisoner Riley, when before Mr. Benn, did not deny the facts, but said Mortimer had gone to the Town-hall to ascertain if the notes were good, but he had not since returned. Mr. Benn said, there never was a clearer case placed before him. The boy Green, got due praise for his honesty, intelligence, and smartness—' indeed he elicited the admiration of all who heard him, and whoever has brought him up deserves much credit. He is a boy worth looking after. The prisoner was remanded, with the view of giving the police an opportunity of looking after M orti mer. THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY. MURDER AND SUICIDE On Saturday morning, a most painful sensation was produced in the vicinage of Coalbrookdale, by a report that an attempt had been made by a man on the life of his wife, and afterwards on his own. It appears that, on Saturday morning, Mr. Isaac Dunbar had, in company with his family, partaken of a hearty breakfast. Two of his sons had left, and returned to their work. The wife had. adjourned to the back kitchen, to perform some household du ties, when her husband fellowel her, and coming behind her, pulled her head backwards with great violence, and then inflicted with a razor a fearful gash in her throat. She made her escape at the rear of the house, screaming violently. Her cries soon brought assistance, and she was conveyed to a neighbour's house, where she still lies in a very precarious state. The unfortunate husband returned and went upstairs. By this time several persons had collected downstairs, but none seemed emulous of pursuing the husband to his retreat. Shortly after, the constable, Mr. John Jones, made his appear• ante, and he went upstairs immediately. He found the room door shut in which the unfortunate man had taken refuge. On opening the door, he was standing opposite thereto. He said. " Here I am, John Jones," and then inflicted a horrible gash on his throat, nearly severing it from ear to ear, and the head immediately fell back. With assistance he was soon secured, Medical aid was promptly in attendance, and all that scientific skill could achieve, or humanity suggest, was done, to repair the terrible injuries inflicted. In searching for a cause or motive for this fearful proceeding, charity would suggest that insanity had no small share in bringing about so bloody a tragedy. There is a family of seven children. FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION. About three months ago, Messrs. Kitson and Co., the enterprising proprietors of Honk Bridge Ironworks, fixed a refinery in an isolated part of the grounds. and fitted it up with machinery, blasts, &c. The iron, after being refined after the fashion patented by Mr. Bessemer, is at Monk Bridge subsequently puddled. Mr. Kitson is not satisfied that Bessemer's process completes the process of purifica— tion, i.e., removes the carbonic acid, carbonic oxide, sulphurous acid, and phosphoric acid, and so he has been in the habit of afterwards puddling the iron. A little before eight o'clock on Saturday morning, a tremendous explosion, heard nearly all over Leeds, occurred at this refinery. The shed was conical, and the iron to be purified was placed within a square of water reservoirs, certain apertures being made by which well regnlated currents of air could be forced over and through the metal. Edward Dickinson, at the time, was engaged at the northerly end of the refinery, and a man named Barlow was feeding the fires at the other end. It is supposed that some water escaped from the water reservoirs into the molten metal, or that an intense generation of steam occurred, and thus originated the accident. The force of the explosion was tremendous, and the noise was similar to that caused by the discharge of a park of artillery. The houses within a mile were all shaken. The shed was broken to pieces, with the exception of its firm upright iron pillars ; and the molten metal, about, one and-a-half tons, was driven out northerly in a fiery stream, and scattered far and near. Dickinson received the full force of the current ; he was frightfully scalded, and was otherwise injured by the fall of the debris. When taken up, his clothes had to be cut from his body, and his immediate removal to the Leeds Infirmary followed. Barlow was more protected by the s eatherly iron pillar, and escaped with injuries in the lower part of his body. The metal, bricks, and rubbish were sent flying far and near, the railway viaduct being marked and chipped, and some of the iron thrown over the sheds into the Monk Bridge Road. The numerous workmen of the firm were dreadfully alarmed, and it was some time before they could be induced to resume their labour. -0--- It is probable that in the e►ent of her Majestys's visit to Manchester next year, she will stay at Abney-hall, Cheshire, the seat of Mr. James Watts, the Mas o- of Man chester, situated about nine miles from the Art Treasures Exhibition. FRUITa OF ILL JUDGED EMIGItATION.—From the South Australian Register we learn that, notwithstanding the general employment of all classes of able-bodied emigrants, it is still necessary to maintain an establishment for the support of those who cannot find employment, and of those who are incapable of work. The former class consists of the remnant of the female orphan emigration, which they have not yet succeetled in disposing of; the latter class consists of women deserted by their husbands and left in charge of young families, orphan children, aged persons, the sick, infirm, and lunatics. It is to be hoped that the Emigration Commissioners, when they see the amount of destitution yet chargeable upon the resources of the colony, will exercise an increased vigilance in making their selections of emigrants for South A ustralia.—Australian and New Zealand Gazette. REVERSE OF FORTUNE.—Among not the least melan choly instances of the reverses which have overtaken members of all grades of society in Ireland during a few brief years, one has just come to light which has caused considerable regret here. Every one connected with the Dublin press at the time of the repeal agitation must remember the attention and undeviating courtesy of Mr. Francis Dwyer, the assistant-secretary of the Association, and for some years private secretary to the late Mr. O'Connell. After fruitless endeavours to obtain employ ment of any kind, Mr. Dwyer, less fortunate than many of the patriots who figured prominently upon the stage of the Corn Exchange, is now, it seems, an applicant for admission within the cheerless walls of a Dublin work house. This is not creditable to the chiefs of the party— or clique, rather—who, in the hurry to provide for them selves, have altogether ignored the almost hereditary pretensions of a hard-worked servant. Dwyer's father tilled th e p os t o f S ecre t ar y t o th e C a th o li c A ssoc i a tion up to the passing of the Relief Act of 1829, and had been previously one of the leading merchants in the city of Cork. MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY OF 7EA. Samuel Robinson and James Petty were brought up, at the Manchester Police Court, on Saturday, on remand, at the City Court, charged under the following circumstances i The prisoners were seen driving a cart along Oldhattt street, On Friday week, and Went into a hods() with two bags full of green and black tea, about 1301 b in weight. The officer fol. lowed them into the house, and after sonic enquiry, he took them into custody, and they all got into the cart together. The account they give was, that they were shopkeepers in \loss lane, and that the bags simply contained their own tea that they had transferred from ten or twelve canisters. They were brought up on Saturday week last, and remanded until them to give a further account of the . manner in which the tea had come into their possession. Mr. George Henry Fryer, of the firm of Binyous,„ Robinsep, and Co., proved that the firm had frequently missed tea, stolen in transit, after leaving the Custom House in London and before it reached the bonding house in Manchester. The parcels of tea in the possession of the prisoners were of the same qu dity as some they had missed. One of the bags, too, in which the tea was carried was a coffee bag of a certain quality and a peculiar number, which Mr. Flyer identified as the property of the firm, Ho was enabled to do that, as he could state that the same kind of coffee bag was not used by any other firm in the country. They had missed the bagabout two months ago from their stock. Within the last fortnight a quantity of tea had been stolen shortly after it had been delivered to the carrier of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company for transit, who had signed for it, but the cart had not left St. Ann's Square when the robbery took place. That loss would fall upon the carrier. Mr. Roberts appeared for the prisoners, and in cross-examining Mr. Fryer as to the identity of the tea, he said he could only speak generally to the tea as of the same quality as that which they had lost. Several witnesses as to character were called for the prisoners,.who spoke to their having a shop in Moss lane, and a billiard room in Market street. Mr. Maude, in summing up the case, said that looking at the low ground that had been taken for the prisoners, he was greatly disappointed. He expected that any, tradesman would have no diffictiltY in strewing that he bought articles from so and so, and producing the various invoices. Instead of that, the defence had been put upon the difficulty of iden tifying the tea : and no doubt there was great difficulty in so _. He thought it right to say that, because, although they might be set at liberty, gill they would not have dispelled the suspicion that rested upon them It was impossible, from the nature of the case, for Messrs. Binyons to say it was their tea, or that it was the produce of a robbery from the shop or the bonded warehouse, or of the robbery from the railway carrier. In consequence of that difficulty, and that alone, they would be set at liberty. Upon that intimation, Mr. Fryer asked for a further remand, as he thought he could produce further evidence. The prisoners were thereupon remanded for a week. Satu►day, to enabl EXTENSIVE SEIZURE OF 7OBACCO AT SOU7HAMPTON. A short time since we reported the fact of a large seizure of tobacco at the village of Woodmill, about three miles from Southampton. The tobacco, which Was concealed in the cottage of a man named William Gorey, weighed about 26 cwt. An information was laid against Gorey for having, on the 6th of December, been concerned in " unshipping or otherwise deal ing with certain prohibited, restricted, or uncustomed goods, to wit, 2,685 lbs of tobacco, and 52 lbs weight of stalk tobacco, contrary to section 232 of the Customs' Consolidation Act, 1853, whereby he had forfeited the sum of 41,589 ss, being treble the value of the said goods." Gorey bad for many years been the confidential servant of Mr. Ray, a miller in the same village. It is believed that only the lesser portion of the goods smuggled has been secured, between seven and eight tons having been landed at the same time. The village of Woodmill is somewhat conveniently situated for smuggling purposes, being connected by the river Itchen with Southampton Water, and an ordinary boat passing to and fro would not at any time be likely to attract much attention. On Saturday the case was heard before the county magistrates, in the Town Hall, at Southampton. Mr. Beverly attended as solicitor to the Board of Customs ; and Mr. George Pocock on behalf of Gorey. William Gough, an officer of customs at Southampton, stated that he went to the residence of the defendant, and made a search. Gorey, on being charged with concealing tobacco, said that to his sorrow he had done so, and immediately offered to show Gough where it was. Gough went into a bedroom, where he found a bale of stalk tobacco, which Gorey told him had been put there to dry. Gorey then took the officer to a partition behind which were discovered thirty-two bales. 'Fhe officer found on Gorey's premises altogether fifty-one bales of tobacco in tin cases, besides• one of shag tobacco, and the bale of stalk. Gorey denied any knowledge of the persons from whom he had received the tobacco. Ile said he took it into his house on the Ist inst., at the request of some persons who said the roads were so bad they could not travel with it, and that ho was sorry for having done so. The tobacco was landed from a boat, and ho had seen a waggon and two carts go on laden with the same kind of goods. Mr. William Walker, landing waiter, stated that he had examined and weighed the bales, which he found to contain in all 2,6341b5. of Virginian leaf tobacco, the value of which, together with the stalk, was £529 155., which sum being trebled made up the amount of the penalty to which the defendant had rendered himself liable. This being the case against Gorey, Mr. P, cock directed the magistrates' attention to the respectable character which lie had borne, and contended that the act was not committed for the purpose of defrauding the customs. but was merely a thoughtless com pliance, in sheer good nature, with the request which had been made to him. The magistrates, after a short deliberation, decided upon inflicting the full penalty—viz., 41,589 ss. and said they saw no reason for mitigating it in the slightest degree. This is the first case at Southampton in which so heavy a penalty has been inflicted. HOW FAR WE SHOULD DISCUSS THE INCOME TAX. Wilting on this subject, one of our London cotemporaries observes :—" The capricious and arbitrary assessment of the tax ought of course to be remedied, for they are discreditable to government and oppressive and irritating to individuals. But, as the country evidently feels disposed to discuss the subject, it is most desirable that the discussion should go much further than that, and deeper even than the imputation of inequality in the incidence of the tax, and inform the legislature whether the intention of the act of 1853 is to bo carried out, and the final cessation of the ith,ome tax to be kept steadily in view by parliaMent. For this is exactly a question in which popular opinion is, when fully and fairly expressed, irresistible; and if the policy of gradual extinction, adopted in 1853, is to be adhered to, as it must take somo years before that goal cin be reached, the sooner the country makes up its mind the better. And when the resolution is formed it must be per sisted in, despite all temptation to swerve from it. CRIME AND THE CONDITION OF PAUPER CHILDREN. Alluding to this important question, the Daily News, of yesterday, remarks :—Undoubtedly, one of the chief causes of crime is the neglect of our pauper children, which amount to no fewer than 200,000 human beings. Mr. Gladstone once told the House of Commons that the reading of Blue Books was far less common than it ought to be. He was right. We do not believe that if any rational man would take the trouble to read the reNrts of the School inspectors or the reports of the Poor Law Board, he would hesitate for a moment to recognise the condition of our pauper children as one of the chief causes of crime, or to insist upon the necessary remedy being at once applied. It will certainly be one of the chief duties of the person who is to represent the Education department in the House of Commons to take up this subje"ct. Both reason and experience concur in the view that nothing can be done towards reforming our pauper children unless they are sepa— rated front the adult paupers in the workhouses, and placed in separate establi,hments. So long as they remain in the workhouses, they are contaminated with tho vilest moral corruption; Shen they are separated from the adult paupers they turn out as admirable members of society as any of their fellow creatures in the upper ranks. FINAL ARTIC SEARCH.—There is now little or no doubt as to the intention of the Government to despatch final expeditions in search of further traces of Sir J. Franklin. They will probably consist of three parties, one overland, another via Behring's Straits, and a third via Davis's Straits. The Behring's Straits expedition will probably be commanded either by Capt. Collinson (should he volun teer his services), or Captain Rochfort Maguire, an officer of great energy and much active experience. The Baffin's Bay expedition will, it is supposed, be offered to Captain M'Clintock, but we have as yet heard no one mentioned to command the overland party.—United Service Gazette. FREE BLACKS IN CUBA — ' t he Madrid correspondent of the Aforni,g Post writes—" There has latterly b een muc h discussion on the project of introducing, with the permission of the government, some thousand free blacks into Cuba. Although negro labourers are much wantei by the Cuban planters, and their admission would, to the best of my belief, be no infraction of the treaty with England, 1 I think' the Spanish Government has not as yet given any countenance to the project. The slave population in Cuba is much less in proportion to the whites than in the slave states of the United States, and the negroes are much better treated ; but to increase the free black population in Cuba would not be politic, and on that account the present project is looked upon with well-founded alarm by many Spania-ds." ROCHDALE NEW CHARTER OF INCORPORATION.—The first council elected under the charter recently granted for Rochdale, met on Friday, and elected for their first mayor Mr. Jacob Bright, brother to the hon. member for Man chester. HUDSON'S BAY TERRITORY AND ITS CAPABILITIES. By our files of papers per the Persia we have accounts of a meeting held at Toronto, on the sth inst., for the purpose of affording an opportunity to certain gentlemen long residents in thi a Territory of Hudson's Bay, to call attention to the iniportance of opening tip a direct com mercial intercourse with that field of etiterprim chief speech was that of Captain Kennedy. had been fir twenty twelve of them darin the sere years he was in t subseciupntly he who said he five years in the territory in question, ig his infancy, and the remainder in ler - vice was spent e was on the Llbra [or coa g the whole of that period he had Hudson's Bay, and di. correspondence from the various sections of the country as far as Vancouver's Island and Mackensie's riv in that way, he had becorge familiar with every the territory, independently of what he had seen himself, and from what he had heard : and so far as his own obser vation went, he was well assured that what Mr. Macdon. nell had stated was perfectly correct. Some eight or nine years ago he had ventured on the then unappreciated sub ject of the Hudson's Bay Company's territories, by publish ing several letters in the newspapers of this country, and particularly had addressed two - letters to the Governor- General, Lord Elgin, wishing to direct the attention of Canadians to the propriety of their asserting their right to the vast section of this continent occupied by the com pany. The movement then appeared to be premature, a large section of the Canadian press having been artfully inveigled into supporting the other side. But great pro gress had been made since then in railways and other public works, and another aspect was given to the sub ject. Canadians now saw that the comparatively small fragment of the continent which they occupied would soon be both too narrow and too short for them—too small a field on which to exercise and develope their new-born energies. It was the most notable work for the Cana dians of the present day to undertake, to bring within the pale of civilisation the larger half of the North American continent, a country containing 270,000,000 of acres. A little while ago it was the prevailing idea that the territory was only fit for the rearing of the fur-bearing animals for the sole benefit of the Hudson's Bay Com pany. At the cost of much labour, research and pains taking, Assimboine, Huron, and others had done much to remove this impression. But Canadians would not fuily realise the importance of the subject, if they rested satisfied with merely knowing that there was so vast an area in existence. They had a duty to perform in re gard to it ; and in fact it might be said that they only required to go up to possess it. lf they remained inactive, that territory would pass out of their hands, which they might now regard as already theirs. Captain Kennedy , proceeded to speak of the tyranny exercised by the com pany in the territory, and the inefficient administration of justice under their management. He alluded also to the attempt they were now making to obtain from the Canadian Government as much of the best lands along the shores of Huron and Superior as they could. They had made a similar attempt a few years ago to monopolise the lumber trade of Canada, as well as the fur trade, by tak ing out timber licenses for vast sections of the country on the St. Lawrence and the Ottawa. They only attempted to lumber on the Ottawa, but in the end they were obliged to relinquish the trade to the original owners, and to submit, moreover, to an invasion of their territory, which they have so long protected by hold. ing up an extinct charter, the legality of which might well have been questioned. He explained the two titles under which the Hudson's Bay Company held the country, one portion being chartered territory, the latter under a lease for twenty-one years, expiring in 1859. The last time the lease was to expire, the company, three or four years before hand, suddenly threw it up, and the Imperial government, not knowing well what to do with so vast a territory thus thrown on their hands, and being without any sort of government to provide for it, were glad to renew the lease. The Canadian government ought to see that they were not forestalled by a similar manoeuvre at the present time. Mr. Kennedy then gave some addi tiional information to that communicated by Mr. Macdon nell, in regard to the resources and capabilities of the country. On the coast of the portion of the territory where he had lived for eight years, whales, or rather porpoises, were so abundant that they could be caught by thousands. Smaller whales were also to be captured, and seal skins and other furs could be got in abundance. Coal and plumbago abounded in Hogarth's Inlet, so much so that they could be picked up on the sea shore. So nume_ rous were the rein deer that those familiar with the nar rative of Dr. Rae would remember how he and his party were able to sustain themselves with their guns, without having recourse to the assistance of the natives. He (Captain K.) had himself, with a party of 12 men, killed 216 reindeer in two hours. He had seen as many as ten or twelve thousand of them at ono view. But the fur trade was a secondary consideration. The entire country, extending 400 miles from the boundary line to the north, was capable of cultivation of the same kind as was cars ied on in Canada. Particularly flax, tallow, and hides, which it was now necessary to procure from Russia, could just as easily be raised on these prairies. The coun try was as fertile as it could possibly be. The Red river settlers: were now !opening up a communication with St. Paul s. and occasionally resorted to that city in a caravan of as many as 600 carts, taking their produce there, and getting American produce in exchange, as they found that more advantageous than trading with the Hudsrm' Any, who had done everything in s Bay Comr Ivor, and part of to obstruct their power, resorting to a variety of expedient , _ the progress of the settlement.:. The whole territory was larger than Europe, and as fertile, and it possessed as many facilities for commerce, both in the west and the east. Gold in great quantities was found on Vancouver's Island. He had in his possession a specimen of gold quartz from Governor Douglas's own garden. He had a specimen also from Queen Charlotte's Island ; and it was reported that the company had bribed a man to silence who had found the same metal on the Red River, knowing that as soon as the tide of emigration should set into that region, their trade and power was gone. In the Red River settlement the season commenced to be severe about the Ist of November. Farming operations commenced about the Ist of May. He believed meteorological tables would show that the climate at Red River was not severer than at Toronto, taking the mean temperature of the year. Snow only lay in the wooded valleys. In the praries, it was so thin that the buffaloes did not migrate south, but grazed on them the whole winter. In reply to ques_ tions from Mr. Brunskill, Mr. Jas. Browne, Jr.,_Mr. Rice Lewis, Mr. Maclear, and other gentlemen, Capt. Kennedy said the country itself was favourable for the construction of railroads. The distance between Lake Superior and Lake Winnipeg, in a direct line, was 200 miles, and the country, generally speaking, was level. The navigation was not so difficult—many of the rapids could be easily improved, by blasting a few of the rocks. There were such a number of portages on Lake :Superior and Rainy Lake that the use of boats would involve a loss of time— canoes would be the things to use. The number of white inhabitants in the Red River settlement was very small. The population was a mingled one, and had been variously estimated at from 8,000 to 10.000. The people were not very industrious, but this could not be a matter of surprise to any one acquainted with the manner in which their energies were cramped. Not only were they isolated, but every effort which they put forth to better their condition, and render them independent, was thwarted by the Hudson's Bay Company. The policy adopted by the company whenever any body of men entered the territory for the purpose of engaging in traffic, was to provoke that body to the shedding of blood. They were then enabled to say, that so long as they were left alone the country continued in peace. There was an abundance of coal along the banks of the Mackensie and other rivers. It indeed fairly cropped the banks; and mineral tar was to be obtained there in such quantities that the company never made use of any other than this for their boats. Copper was also abundant, and in such a pure state that it might be chiselled out rather than mined from the beds. The entire sea coast abounds with marine animals, and probably ere long the discovery would be made by the people of San I`.;'rancisco, who would send out expeditions to gather them. The new Siberian country abounds with fossil, as well as natural ivory. He (Capt. Kennedy) had a brother residing on Red river, and he had requested him to convene a meeting of the inhabitants of the settle ment to express their views and opinions as to the country under whose jurisdiction they would like to be. If he had not misunderstood him, the people were very desirous of being under some other jurisdiction than that of the Hud son's Bay Company, and seemed to prefer that of Canada. It was very likely that the views of the people would be embodied in a petition, which wonld be sent down to the legislature of this country in the next session. We should then have an opportunity of knowing whether the pro vincial government would be more attentive to the wants of their fellow subjects than the imperial government. At this season of the year it would take from twenty to twenty-five days to go to the Red river. In summer the distance might be accomplished in less time, but not much less than 20 days. The admi nistration of justice was entirely under the control of the Hudson's Bay Company. The government professed to appo , nt a civil governor of the colony. but the magistrates were appointed exclusively by the Company. Under the governor was an official who acted jointly as' a recorder and a judge. Formerly there was a sort of militia, and over them was a person called the Warden of the Plains, generally a half breed, who possessed extensive in fluence over the settlers of the country, and proba the tribes of Indians in that immediate neight , to whom t necessary to pay a high salary, with a view to secuse his interest in case of emergency. There was no garrison. But a few year's ago—in all likelihood at the time when the rebellion took place in Canada—a number of pensioners were introduced, under the pretence of being prepared to defend the country in the event of an invasion by the Americans, but it was more than suspected, with a view to protect the company from the settlers. They did not, however, remain long in the country ; they took a di s like to it andreturned. The settlers were at present on the most friendly terms with the Indians. There was a time when the Indians were in the habit of attacking parties as they went from the Red River settlement to the city of St. Paul; but the American government had garrisons which proved sufficiently powerful to quell them. There was no newspaper at present in the settlement. y over man name( ie company thou, THE DUBLIN MURD In yesterday's issue of a man called Harrington, c the murder of Mr. Little.

He said he did not wish to go, in consequence of some dread ful accident on the railway. He asked Mrs. Feeney to clean a coat for him, as there was white paint on it. He said he was after getttng £3OO insurance money by his wife's death, and that he would pay her(witness)7 months' wages. He the then went away, about one o'clock. He left the coat, and called for it on Friday, when Mrs. Feeney told him she could not get the paint off. He then went away, and she saw no more of him 11 Cross-examined by Mr. Fitzgerald : C( long ago it is since she left his serrlc It was about seven months ago. She summoned him, and got an order for him to pay her £l. He was not then in an hospital unwell. He was after coming out of hospital when the summons was served. He lived at Wellington street. She put the order in force by seizing goods about a fortnight ago She is living seven or eight months, off and on, with Mrs. Feeney. and during that time she paid nothing for her board and residence. She lived lately as a servant with a man near Drumcondra, but did not know his name. He was married and had children. The prisoner never charged her with making away with some of his clothes. He spoke to her about them, both in is own house uud Mr. Feeney's.— He said she made away with the clothes. He told her to get his clothing and then he would pay her. Whvn Mrs. Feeneywould meet him she would ask him to pay witness, and he would reply that he would do so when she (witness) would *get him his clothes. She spent the Thursday and every day since with Mrs. Feeney, in Watling street, in a top back room. Feeney was home about eight or nine o'clock, and had his supper of fish or meat, whatever was ready. He was in the room when prisoner came in. and remained for half an hour after, when be went down to the yard, and came back and remained in the room until Harrington went away. She never got the pound. Never said she would be revenged on Harrington. Never heard of a reward in this caFe. Never, up to the present moment, heard of such a thing as a reward. She told the circumstances, on Thursday last, to some gentlemen of the poliee. [Pointing to Mr. Inspector Ryan, witness said : "That is one of them.") On Wednesday last she had a few words with Mr. and Mrs. Feeney, and Mr. Taylor, about this man being killed. Taylor went to Feeney's to get troweers made. He read the newspaper about the man that was killed. Never heard until last Wednesday that there was any one murdered at the Broadstone. Heard some one was killed, but not murdered. He never read any thing about a reward. Whilst in his service she knew the dress he generally wore. He wore gaiters sometimes, and sometimes not. He carried a stick (cane sword produced). She did not know that stick. He had a larger and a smaller stick than that, but she never saw that stick with him. She often saw moneywith him.— The most she ever saw with him was a pound, whieh he gave her to change. Heard he collected rents. Heard he went to the country, to Mill street, and to Lusk, but she never asked where. She knew Mrs. Feeney about a year before she went to live with her. Never heard of Little's name until Wednesday last, nor never heard of a reward until the present moment. (Razor produce She saw one like it, but never saw that. The, other witnesses examined were Feeney and his wife, a n d Joseph Taylor, the man to whom the other witnesses had first com municated their suspicions, and who keeps a lodging house in the neighbourhood of the railway terminus. Their examination was protracted to a late hour, but the principal facts to which they deposed are those already given above. The prisoner was then remanded till this day, the feeling being that no case will be made out against him. -.--..-.,..-.10,..--- NAVIGATION OF BRISTOL CHANNEL AND BIVEI attention of the Trinity Board has been ca city of erecting a light to denote the rocks called the Stones lying to the east of St. Ives, off Godrey wrecks have occurred on these dangero is forthwith to be placed there.

It appeared that during the captain's absence on shore from 400 to 500 men, among whom were the defendants, armed with cutlasses and other formidable weapons, came to the ship's side with boatq, and succeeded in taking possession of the vessel. In spite of all remon strances, and in violent opposition to the efforts of the coast guard, they proceeded to pillage the ship of a large portion of the cargo, with which they ultimately got away. The case was attempted to be justified as one of salvage, but the magistrates fined each of the defendants £5O, or in:default of payment six months' imprisonment, at the same time hinting that they had been most leniently dealt with.
