THE BALLYOOIIEY PIIOPERTY.—The nablie will

no longer have Mr. William Scully fur their landlord.
A humane and considerate gentleman has come to
their rescue, and saved them from any more of Mr.
Scully'.'' wrictly legal" proceedings by purchasing
the property from him. Mr. Charles Moore, M.P.,
for Tipperary, has become owner of Ballycuhey, Lav-
ing agreed to pay Mr. Scully his original purchase
money of the property, and a liberal amount in addi-
tion thereto, by any uf compensation for any recent
increase in the value of the land. The bargain is not
a bad one for Mr. Scully; it is a fortunate one for the
tenants. They may feel quite sure that Mr. Moore
will never ask them to accept such a document as the
Scully lease; he will not seek for the power of turn-
ing them out on thr.m weeks' notice, nor that of con-
fiscating their growing crops, nor will he require
them to Pay rates and taxes from which the law de-
41ares them °tempt. For this happy change in their
Present position the Ballycohey tenantry have to
thank, in the first place, themselves.—Yation.

SHOCKING ACCIDIDIT TO A RAILWAY DI:ARIL-4
shocking accident occurred on Saturday afternoon to
a gnarl named John Parkiss, who was I. charge of the
train leaving Southampton for Dorchester at 1 46
p.m. Whilst between llolmsley an.l Ri11g1490.1 sta-
tions, the poor fellow was in the ewt of fastening on a
net which was being conveyed in the rear van of the
train, when on going round a shame curve the van
" lurched," and Purkis. was thrown violently against
the double doors. Those gave way beneath his weight,
and he foil backwards on to the metals, sustaining the
most frightful scalp wounds and other injuries. After
lying for some time in a state of insensibility on the
metals, he at last recovered himself, and as best he
could crawled to the side of the cutting, where he
found that his clothes were torn to shreds, and, though
no bones were broken, he was suffering intense in-
ternal min. It appears that on the arrival of the train
at Ringwood station, although the retard was missed
from the train, no messenger was sent back along the
line to look after him, and the unfortunate man was
left to crawl as best he could for four miles, during
which journey, according to his own statement, Ito
Ittel fainted several times. Ile managed, however, to
reach Ringwood at last, where his wounds were ban-
daged and he was forwarded to Dorchester in an al-
most lifeless state, lie has Clue., receive I every atten-
tion, but his life is despaired of. The I.oor fellow
has a wife and large family, and has over been known
as one of the South-Western's must trustworthy ser-
vants.

SCIIMSER WRECKED AT MONTIVWF.—On Sunday
morning, about four o'clock, the schooner El:za Wat-
son, Captain Mettriss, from Sunderland for Johns-
haven, with coals, wont ashore on the sands at Mon-
trose. lise night we, very dark, and the captain
found that he was nearer the shoal than he was
aware of, and before he could get the ship worn off
she stranded. It, crew, when they saw their con'
ditiots, took to the main rigring. The alarm ins elsore
was llist given by the steam tug, Ca-stain I uglie, and
after the lifeboat crew had been called together two
men were dispatchesl to see if the crow were on the
wreck or not. After going some distance they, with
the aid of the telescope, saw the men in the rigging,
awl immediately wint back and got the boat launchel.
They rowe 1 to the mouth of the river, whoa the
steam-tag took them in tow till they were opposite
the wreck. On approaching the wreck the lifeboat
was overtaken by a heavy sea, which filled the boat,
and washed the coxswain and two of the crow over-
board. The tnen were, however, soon gut in again,
although it was found that one of them fool been
severely injured on the leg by the oar. The crew
then rowed again, sal on trotting up to the wreck the
panne' Was hove, ahl fastened on the mainsail, bat
it &must immediately gave way. With the assis-
tance of the mate of the schooner, who did not ap-
pear so exhausted to the others, the grapnel was
Inbselnently secured. and he lowered himself into
the boat. The other teen were then drawn in,but the
captain, who was an old man, was tumble to all
himself. A bowl knot was thou made, and thrown
to him, which he passed round hi. body, and he was
dragged by main forte towards the boat, when he was
lifted on board. The.lifelsoat was thou rowed towards
the shore, where there were many willing hands to
help the enterers.

GREAT FLOOD@ DI TNIfIA. The Indian papers
give accounts of an mitraordinary flood which has
been experienced in the north of India—in Ghurwal—
owing to the overflowing of the Aluknanda and Born
rivers. "A little above the Cbumolee bridge were,
number of houses fill,, I with pilgrims on their way to
Iludreenath. As the floods came down suddenly in
the night, those pilgrims were, with the exception of
a few who happoim 1 to be awake at the time, all
drowned, and the homes which they invapieel washed
easy. A flock of eight hundred sheep were also tar•
riot away in the stream of the Boris-Conga. The
casualties occurred chiefly amongst pilgrims. Captain
Barstin, in his first report on the subject to the Com-
missioner of KUMIIOII, itateil that the number of per-
sons drowned was about seventy-five. Enormous
damage was done to amoral parts of the Bombe.),
Braude, and Central India Railway by the heavy rains
which began to fall about the 7th of Aug., and which
lasted nearly a week. Ahmedabad, Kairs, Baroda,
and the larger towns have suffered severely both as
regards life and property and there is hardly room
to hope that outlying iillages have escaped more
lightly. In AhmoSabad alone, about 10,000 houses are
computed to have been ilostroyed, involving a loss
of £30,000 to £40.000, and in a village of no great
extent close to that city, no fewer than 350 houses
have disappeared. Herod& counts its ruined houses
by hundreds, and like other cities, reports painful
instances of loss of life. Boats had to be kept playing
up and down the inundated streets, in order to rescue
those from whom all other means of escape had beau
cut off.

R, 41E—The Roman corremondent of the Pall Mall
(karat, writes on the 21st instant :—"Yesterday morn-
ing the Pope bell a secret consistory, in which Ito
confirmed several bishops, and distributed among tho
cardinals two encyclicals, one addressed to the schis•
umtic bishops of the East, the other to the bishops of
Sicily. The encyclical for the Eastern Church, dated
September Bth, assures the dissenting bishops that

January 6, ISIS, remarking that, though it has been
without result, ho does not Um loss hope that his ar-
dent pillyer• to Heaven to bring about • cordial mi.
derstanding with the Churches of the East will bo ef-
fectual. lie informs the bishops of Lis convocation of
an (ecumenical synod on the stl. Dec., 1069, and con-
jures them to take part in its deliberations, as their
ancestors, at the bidding of GrogoryX. attended the
second council of Lyons, and, by the invitation of Eu-
gene IV. the Council of Florence. This encyclical is
expected to produce a groat effect on the Eastern
Church. It is not only to the schismatic bishops of
the East, however, that the council will be thrown
open, as the Holy Father I am assumpt, accords
the same privilege to the bishops aud the dignitaries
of the Church of England. 'Dm encyclical to the
bishops of Sicily fulminates the major ezoommuni.
cation against Monsignor (lino Rinaldi, tine iodic°
of the tribunal of the Apostolic Leeedieu in this is.
and revives the fiercest anathema of the middle
ages. It is called ' Vitanda,' because it enjoins all
Catholic* to avoid the person excommunicated as a
post. Such a decree is cover issued but in very
extreme cases, and then only after process before
the ecclesiastical tribunals ; curls there any precedent
for its fulmination in the Preset instance. But no
pope has ventured on such measures as Pius IX. The
Roman clergy declare he has muleavuured nto establish
despotism in theCatholiceliarch, of which the organise-
thin is essentially constitutional, and even republican.
In this spirit he lass just deposed Father Perandi,
general of the order of Pious Scholars. This earkei.
iodic, who is one of the most virtuous of the Roman
clergy, and an eminent scholar, has been guilty of no
crime but liberalism, or it lime of constitutional in-
stitutions and Italian nationality. It is true, he in-
curred further suspicion by his friendship for the un-
fortunate Cardinal Andrea, which brought upon him
the omnity of the Pope, and, perhaps, accelerated his
downfall. Ile was approaching the expiration of his
term by office, but it was certain that he would be re-
olec ted by the Chapter, as ho had already been seve-
ral time., aint the Pope anticipated the event by
ordering his deposition, and nominating • fanatical
Spaniard to the aloe. The act has created a great
sensation among the religions orders at Rome, all of
which, with the ozooptioo of the society of Jesuits,
share the indignation atlas Pious Scholar% rlichrdinii
the blow on otrook ii Lb, whole body."

THE AMERICAN MINISTER AND LORD

-
NAPIER AT WORCESTER.
On Weines lay, Lord Napier of Magdalavisited the
city of Worcester. His lordship arrived at Droit-
wmh on a visit to Sir .7. Pakington at Wertwoo I Park,
from London, before noon. Here Lord Napier iThe
reccivwl by the Mayor awl Corporation, who presen.
to I him with an whirs's. His lordship replie I, briefly
e,presaing his nri le and mitittple to receive the
a !drew and stating be felt he owl bet a small share
in the merit whiLh it ackoowle bred as the represen-
Vitive of the force which lie commended. He accenv
to I the favour, sure that such force would be grad.
rovl to hear the universal nenrobation with which
their eiplenvours to perform their duty hod been re-
teived in England. Lord Nan r then enter° 1 Sir
John Pakintdon's carriage, and, a nomPse7 with the
right lion, baronet, proceeded to Westwood, whence,
after • short interval, they left for Worcester, reach-
ing the latter place about two c'elock, accompanied
by the Iron. Beverly Johnson, the American Minis-
ter.

At Worcester Lord Warder and Mr. Johnson were
entertained at luncheon by the Mayor, and, after the
iistml loyal tonsts had been honoured, " ns army and
navy and local forces" was proposed and cordially re.
wired. . .

Sir J. Pakington, in renly, said he felt it almost
Presumptunns, in the presence of Lord N tinier, to
resron.l to the toasts. The noble lord had lately
added a great and signal trinmnlt to the long list of
noble achierments of the British army. If he wanted
to call the attention of his countrymen to the claims
of the army, he would do it in one word, and that
word would be "Abyssinia." (APPlanse.) The navy(
moreover, bore no mean part in that expedition, and
Lord Warder had mentioned, on a previous occasion,
that innumerable volunteers wished to crowd to his
standard in India. He (Sir John) amid himself bear
testimony how large numbers of the highest ranks of
society were burning and anxious to Servo under Lord
Napier in Abyssinia.
The nett toast was "The health of the American
minister, Mr. Beverly Johnson.
- - .

Mr. Johnson, who was enthusisetically received,
said, if he had needed anything to show the friendly
feeling of Englishmen towards the country which he
represented, it would be furnished by the reception
they had given him; but he waatpd nothing; from
the moment he landed to the present hour, it had
been before him in such a form_ that he could not
doubt its sincerity. (Cheers.) He had found it at the
extremity of England ,• ha foun4 it there almost in
the centre, and everywhere it hadtbsem n'inwilr warm
end manifeetly sincere. lie cen.Sidered, therefore,
that friendship was safe beyond all fear, and if for a
moment it had been disturbed, it would noon, hr had
every reason to think, be re-established. (Cheers.)
Also, should anything occur in the future calculated
to disturb that friendship, he had no doubt that the
good sense and patriotism of the men of both nations,
and their Christian feeling, would be sure to met it
right. (Cheers.) He was no stranger to the city of
Worcester, although he never had the happiness to
be in it before. He know its history and occupation ;
he know it through its gloves—laughter); be knew
it through its porcelain; and he knew it also by its
old cathedral. There no man would ever dream of
War. (Applause.) There he would listen to the voice
of coil which proclaimed "Peace on earth and good
will to men"—(great cheering), and wretched would
be that statesman who should at any time undertake
for the ;mai i fication of human ambition, to change or
modify that ordinance of peace. He knew Worcester
furthers as containing the mortal remains of King
John, in connection with whose reign the Magna
Charier was obtained. Americans had never &ban-
defied that sacral charter. It formed now the foun-
dation upon which their institutions rested, and was
valued as mach by them as it was by Englishmen
and DO nation could be free without the guarantee
which it lugl secured. (Cheers.) Ile expressed, with a
heart fell of kindness and gratitude, not only his
thanks for the personal honour which they were doing
him, but especially for the evidence which they had
given that between the English cation and his own a
friendship exists" I which was lasting, and never to be
disturbed. (Loud cheers.)

no Mayor haying called noon the company to
accord a hearty welcome to Lord Natier, his lord-
ship's health was drunk with mud, choer)og.
Lord Napier said it was an additional Pleasure to
him to receive their welcome at the same tine as they
welcomed tho United States Minister, am. it wont f,
indeed, be a sad thing if two nations seri:wig from
000 MCC, ignited by language, literature, aid laws,
should not be fast friends. (Applause.)
Sir John Pakitigton, in proposing the healt of the
Mayor of Worcester, allude I to the eloonem speech
of the United States Minister,and PAH that it breathed
the spirit of a good man—tho siiirit of a statesman
sincerely anxious to cement ii friendly feeling be-
