TRAGEDY AT SSA.

-- ---
The ship Greta has landed at Liverpool the captain and
ten of the crew of the ship Great Britain. which ."
abandoned waterlogged in the Atlantic. For nine days
the captain and hands numbering 13 were in an exposed and
helpless condition on the ocean, and for a portion of the
time were without food. The Greta fell in with them
about 500 milea from the Irish coast They reported that
after the seventh day of exposure the cook and another
mail died, and some of the survivers, it is stabsd, ate the
livers and other portions of the ',Ales. Oct the eighth
day another man died. The survivors are, almost without
exception, in a very low state. Captsin (lima, of the
Great Britain, reports that on the 3rd inst, the vowel
almost capsized, and that eight men were lost overboard.
The Teemed afterwards partly rizhted, but remained deep
in the water, the weather during the time being kin'
pestuous.

THE RIGOUR OF THE GAME.
There is nothing wore annoying to those engaged in a
game of skill than to be interrupted by having their
attention called by bystander. to some little mistake they
have made in the course of the game. The expression of
such annoyance should, however. be confined to reasonable
limits; and it seems to have been carried too far by a party
of domino-players, at • publichouse at Oldham on Moeda/
nl4ht During the play, a man named Michael Carney
pointed out that • wrong domino had been put dos.
One of the players, named Barney Flaherty, immediately
threatened to 'put him on the fire, "and then struck him
violently on the 'breast, while another dealt him a violent
blow under the left ear, which felled him thu on o i
Carney's son being impudent enough to remark. 'lto
shame to treat an old man like that, "ash to attempt t!'
pick his father up from the floor, was rewarded for his
officiousness by having • piece of his thumb bitten 06 hi
&third player, besides being otherwise severely maltreated.
Carney was taken home, and died in a few hours from the
injuries he received. The three men implicated in the
afiair are in custody, and, if the facts as stated are
Proved against them, they will, it is to be hoped receive
something more than a nominal punialunent.
