DOUBLE
.EXECUTION AT CORK.

massacred, took place on Friday morning at Cork. The
morning was very tine, and the sun shone brilliantly as
the unfortunate men proceeded to the gallows. They both
slept during the night, Crowe soundly, but Bamboo was
rather uneasy. They were attended by their respective
chaplains, who engaged with them in prayer. Crowe spent
the last two hours of his life in the ROMIIIO Catholic
chapel, where he heard masa and received communion.
Bamboo was for that time also occupied in devotion
attended by A rchimandrite Stratule, of the Greek Church,
Liverpool. It was anticipated that mass according to the
Creek ritual nould have been said, but it appeared there
was no power to celebrate it outside the Greek Church.
'The service called "Holy Communion precAmsecrated"
was offered instead, and Bamboo received communion at
the hands of the Archimandrite. At ten minutes to eight
the unhappy men were summoned to the 'pillows, a call
which they obeyed without hesitation, and without any
faltering in their stspe. Outside the gate leading into
the execution yard Harwood pinioned both prisoners after
which the procession resumed. They then for the first
time had a view of the scaffold. Crowe was still unmoved,
tad walked with extraordinary firmness. &mhos, how-
ever, betrayed same weakness in his gait, but as he
reached the steps leading to the scaffold he became again
firm, and walked steadily en the drop. Immediately
after both men joined most audibly in prayer with their
Chsplalna, who stood by them. With marvellous rapidity
Harwood made the final arrangements, and in less than a
minute from the time they first laid eyes on the gibbet
both men were hurled into eternity. Crowe's death was
Instantaneous, but Banshee struimled hard for half a
niln and several minutes after his body moved quite
perceptibly. His neck was short and very muscular. He
was a young man of only twenty-five years. His compan-
ion in death has reached his sixty-fifth year, and he was a
small man of weak frame. To the last Bamboo declared
his Innocence. Ile did not blame the judge or jury, but
his prosecutors; and he said he would give them up to
Cod. It was at first decided that the reporters should not
witness the execution, but it seems that Sambas made a
special request that they they should be present, and his
desire was acceded to.

report:-

The United States can scarcely be recom-
mended at present as an emigration field, for the
greatest distress prevails among the lower classes
in different districts. According to the New
York Woad, there are now thousands of poor in
that city "in want and suffering, with scarcely
any prospect of relief." Those officials who are
brought in contact with them say that "the
have never seen such a season of dearth and
destitution before." The death-rate for the
week ending July 8 was 47.65 per 1,000, and
, hundreds of honest, industrious labourers
anxious for employment have had no regular
work for six or even nine months. The New
York World remarks that "there has been a
great deal of nonsense talked about the
prosperity of our centennial year," and calls
attention to "the ugly fact" that between the
Ist of April and the middle of July eleven
people died in New York of actual starvation.
Nor are masters much better in rural districts;
for the farmers are overcrowded with labourers,
and even some of the Western States are
burdened with unemployed poor, who, it is
stated, "are roaming by the hundred from town
to town in Illinois and lowa, and gradually
lapsing into a sort of savage life."

After a gay time yachting at the Isle of Wight,
the Prince of Wales has been upon a pleasure
trip to Tronville and Paris, leaving the Princess
behind him. In fact, the Princess cannot have
been in very good health at the Isle of Wight;
at any rate she was not often able to accompany
her royal husband on the water, and share in his
gay festivities. A story reaches the clubs
respecting a quarrel between the Prince and
Lord Hardwicke which was not very creditable
to the parties concerned. A race was on between
the yachts of these two distinguished persons,
and in consequence of • calm coining on the
Prince signalled a request to Lord Hardwicke
to turn the yachts to shore, and make the
distance half the length originally proposed.
Lord Hardwick° refused, whereupon the Prince,
having an appointment, turned round, and gave
up the race. When the Prince and Lord Hard-
wicke met at Cowes next day, Lord Hardwicke
chaffed His Royal Highness about having
"turned tail," whereat the royal choler rose,
and there was an unpleasant war of words, in
the course of which the Prince informed Lord
Hardwicke that if he wanted the £lOO that he
had won, he could have it next morning. "A
palpable hit" under the the peculiar circum-
stances of the case. Next day Lord Hardwicke
packed up his traps in order to leave the place,
but hearing of his intention the Prince sent
for him, and the misunderstanding was patched
up.

A medical report, apparently coming from a
first-rate source, which is published in a Berlin
paper describes minutely the bodily and mental
condition of Maurad V. The Sultan is in a
state of general weakness, shows utter apathy to
all that occurs around him, and is distracted in
the extreme. He suffers from want of sleep and
appetite, from giddiness and frequent vomiting;
and his nervous debility is so great that the
slightest noise makes him often tremble all over.
He is very emaciated, and his hair is mpidly
becoming grey. The violent change which
elevated him to the throne, and the assassination
of Hussein Avni and Rescind, shook his mind
all the more deeply as the Empire had at the
same time to contend against a great danger.
Such is the weakness of Maurad V. that no
Minister can hold communication with him;
I practically, the Government is therefore carried
on by the Cabinet alone. At present, the Sultan
is in the hands of Dr. Capoleone, whose treat-
ment mainly consists of cold douches and of
rubbings with wet towels. Riding on horseback
and in carriages fatigues the patient; his excur-
sions are, therefore, chiefly by boat. Dr.
Capoloone thinks he can observe a slight
Improvement in the condition of Maurad. We
may add that the letter recently published as
from the pen of Dr. Capoleone is a pure forgery.

Mr. Disraeli's seat is not to fall to the Conser-
vatives without a contest. Mr. Rupert Caring-
ton has issued an address so trenchant and
spirited that the Tipott4 has said he is worth
looking after, and the Standard has been driven
to assume that it was written by his agent. It
is, to be sure, critical rather than constructive;
it exposes the shortcomings of the Conservatives
without stating any programme for their oppo-
nents ;but it is brilliant and effective, and much
above the ordinary level of election addresses.
If Mr. Carington can speak as well as he writes,
ho may prove no unworthy successor to the long
line of eminent inen who have sat for Bucks.
The House of COIIIIIIOIIS laughed in 1848 when
Mr. Disraeli informed them that "the county
of Bnckingham had supplied the House with a
series of statesmen than whom no body of men
bad more contributed to create the Empire,
sustain the renown, and cherish the high spirit
of the English people,"

The Bishop of Exeter arranged his wedding
very quietly in the little church of St. Michael's,
Chester-square. Hardly any one was there
except the guest& and the pew-openers. Dr.
Temple's wife is the grand-daughter of an
Earl, and is connected with several noble
houses. All Exeter people thought their
Bishop a confirmed old bachelor. He is a good
55; but perhaps he took courage from the
example of the Dean of Exeter, who was quite
that age when he married, and made a very
good husband. Dr. Temple has been very
popular hitherto in Exeter. Bachelor clergy-
men always are. But then, too, he succeeded
Philpotta, whom every Exonian heartily hated.
He resides at the Palace, which "Old Harry"
never did for a week. He is the hardest-
working prelate in England, but one of the
worst of preachers, though this is saying a good
deal. Nature meant him for a schoolmaster,
not for all orator.

A statement us current that further proceed-
ings are to be taken against Dr. Gully and
Mrs. Bravo. We believe there is not a word of
truth in it.

sudden success, its authoress had appeared on the I
boards of a theatre in one of our Northern
cities, and was then believed to give promise of
considerable dramatic talent. The remarkable
popularity which she obtained as the author of
sensation romances naturally turned her atten-
tion, for the time, away from the theatre.
Should she now prove a success on the stage, we
only hope that she will give her success and her
powers a better chance of permanence than she
did in literature, where she yielded sadly to the
temptation to work too much.
The hideous taste some people have for fearful
and earpiercing noises which makes popular such
implements as the toy policeman's rattle, and
the still worse instrument which appears on all
holidays, races etc., in England, and which
produces a dreadful scratching noise, has, we
learn from a contemporary, been carried to an
extreme point in Paris by the sudden popularity
among persons of all classes of a noise-producing
instrument, entitled t'Embetant, an instrument
consisting of a small tin can, with a string
passed through a hole in the bottom, which,
when drawn up and down, produces a heart-
rending squeak. We believe this to be an
American invention—it certainly was very
popular in New York a few years ago—and it
has recently shown signs of its presence in
London. It is in all probability a remnant of
the taste for horrible discordant sounds common
to barbario music which still clings about us, in
spite of high culture and the Music of the
Future.

YOUNG MRS'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION ANNU•L Sx• I
CURSION.—(By a Member.)—A few years since was
established here a Young Men's Christian Association— ,
one of those useful institutions which has been the
means of conferring on thousands of young men untold
bleasings. Started in faith it has continued to prosper,
and now has a firm standing. As its president Mr. G.
Curme, J.P., tykes deep interest in its welfare, and does '
everything in his power to make the meetings pleasant
and profitable. Connected with it is • library which
numbers nearly 700 volumes of standard works, to which
all have access b) the payment of • small annual subscrip-
tion. Purely unseetarian Churchmen and Dissenters meet
together and help each other on. On several occasions
conferences of other associations have been held at the
room of the Dorchester Association, and this year failing
such • gathering it was again, as last year, decided to
, have an "outiag" by the sea-side, and the necessary
arrangements were made by the committee for • trip to
East Lulworth. This event came off on Friday last,
with remarkable success. The weather was all that
could be desired—a nice breeze with bright sun, and air soft
and bracing. Starting from the room about 0.1.5 in a couple
, of breaks, with half-a-dosen horses, supplied by Mr.
, Frost, of the King's Arms, and Mrs. Dunn, of the Junction
Hotels, to the number of about 40, including Mr. Curing,
(president), Mr. Dixon, secretary, and his brother, who was
here on a visit, the Rev. J. Harrington, Mr. Soundy, Mr.
Bradley. Mr. Legg, Mr. Christmas,Mr. Warren, Mr. Fowler
Mr. Franklin, Ike., we were soon rattling over the ground.
Permission had been kindly granted to drive through the
beautiful crowds of Lulworth Castle Park, the property
of Mr. K. J. Weld, amid this concession was much ap-
preciated the magnificent castle, with its splendid
a urroundings being greatly admired. Passing thegrounds
we were soon at the spot were our tent was to be pitched
for the day, a green sward near to the sea shore, and a
short distance from AKA Mills. And here it must be
remarked that Mr. C. Parsons, with Mr. !tennis, had pre-
ceded the party a couple of hours with the provb
lions for the day conveyed ins waggon, also kindly lent by
Mr. Parsons: and by the time we reached there a fire had
been kindled, and preparations were being made for a
thorough " camp out." As soon as we halted all made for
the shore, and many enjoyed a refreshing bath, whilst
some indulged in • ramble. The majestic cliffs, the
highest of which we were told was something like 560 ft.
above the sea, were objects of admiration, and those whose
wind was good enough were seen clambering their heights
--and, indeed, one or two more venturesome than the
others reached the summit and descended on the other
side, returning to the "camping ground" a little after we
had finished dinner But the run had given them
appetites, and their wants were quickly attended to. At
the appointed time • noble feast was spread for those
assembled, and several large slabs of granite, which were
brought ashore some years since on the occasion of the
wreck of a vessel, formed • capital table, and around
these we sat in true pic-nic style. The feast over, again
we seek exercise, and there is plenty to be obtained. Some
walk across to NYarbarrow Coastguard Station, which is
seen from • short distance, and secure a couple of boats,
whilst others indulge in various ways. A few scramble
over the huge rocks around the shore, and, tired of this,
a rest is obtained in some sheltered spot and the time
wiled away in profitable conversation, • hymn or two of
Mr. Sankey's helping to enliven the stillness, for the sea is ,
calm, no roaring waves, no danger of being soaked with
the splashing tide, and when all have had enough of
pleasure we return to the shore and • refreshing cup of
tea puts um in good trim for the bast of the day's proceed-
ings—the meeting which had been arranged to be held in
the tent. Here we all assembled, and for a hour and a
half • thoroughly enjoyable meeting was held. Practical ,
and profitable addresses of about is minutes each were
delivered by the Rev. &Harrington, and Mews. Franklin,
Christmas, Dixon, and Legg, • hymn from Moody and
Sankey collection being interspersed between each. And
now preparations were made for the return journey, the
ride being very pleasant. Hymns were sung to and fro,
and we reached home in safety at 10.30, all confessing that
it was one of the most successful outings yet held in con-
nection with this association. We were truly grateful to
the esteemed and beloved president for his generosity in
providing the necessaries for the outing, and heartily
thanked him for his kindness, whilst the heartfelt thanks
of all were offered to the Great Giver of all good for the
line weather we had been favoured with, and for having
permitted so many to have an outing without a hitch of
any kind. The happy proceedings were closed at the room
be singing the doxology.

This was the annual licensing meeting for the county,
and most of the old licenses were renewed, a caution being
administered in several cases to conduct the houses
better, and two or three cases were adjourned till the nsxt
meeting, the 30th of September.

NEW APPLICATION.
Mr. R. N. Howard, of Weymouth, applied on behalf
of Mr. Andrew Hurden for a license to sell spirits at the
Railway Inn, Maiden Newton. The house contained
four rooms on the ground floor, five bedrooms, with
stabling adjoining for the accommodation of eight horses,
and • coach-house, the whole standing on about JO perches
of ground. The applicant had • good character, and Mr.
Howard produced • numerously signed memorial (ruin
Issuers and others residing in the neighbourhood. The
annual rental exceeded £l—The applicant proved the
necessary notices, and also spoke to the accommodation
the house provided.—Mr. W. C. Weston opposed the
applicatiion. It had been a beerhouse for many years,
and repeated applications had been made for a spirit
license, and refused, and if there was no necessity then
there was none now for increasing the number of these
houses. Ile argued that there was plenty of accommoda-
tion at the other licensed houses in the place for the
requirements of the public, pointed out that none of
the signatures to the petition were those of residents in
Maiden Newton, and urged that there was no desire on
the part of the inhabitants to have the house licensed.
Ile knew something about the case, as he had made
application for granting the license on several OCCasiCIDAL
After • little more disciusion the Bench said they did not
think sufficient reason had been shown for increasing the
accommodation, and refused the application.
STEALING moNeIr.—ANOTHIR VOUNO THIEF.
CAartee Barter, a little boy of 11, of Maiden Newton,
was brought up in custody charmd with stealing :is. 11d.
from Mr. John Jacob. —Complainant, who is agent for
Mr. Lock, coal merchant at Maiden Newton, had em-
ployed the prisoner for the past 12 months. They had an
office hut at the station, and on Monday last he and the
boy went to search anionic the coals for some missing
weights, and on his return found sonieone had been into
the cillice during his absence and had opened the desk.
Upon examining his money he missed 3s. Ild. ; prisoner
was present when he missed the money. Witness said
to the boy, "Who has been in here, Cliaclesi someone
has taken out my money." He said he knew nothing of
it; he had not touched the desk. Witness replied he
must have it, as no one else had been there. Prisoner's
"slop" was lying on the ground, and he took it up and
shook it., on which some money fell out, and he said,
"Whose is this, Charles, yours or miner Prisoner then
said that "He opened the desk and took it out." Wit-
seas told him he should give him in charge. The money
that fell from prisoner
s"slop" made his account right.
—lt transpired that prisoner was a companion of another
boy who • week or two ago had six strokes with a birch
rod for stealing, and this young urchin was awarded a
similar punishment, receiving some good advice from the
magistrates. *kg
