THE "FLOWERY LAND" PIRACY.

BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

The ten anon, Lyon; William; Blanco, Ambrosio, Be-
anie, Marcellino, Lopez, Carle; Waiter, and Itadock,
charged with piracy and murder on the high seas, were
brought up for further examination.
As ou the former occasion, a large crowd was assembled
is the street before the court to watch the arrival of the
prison van, and the removal of the prisoners from the vas
to the court, when they were received with groans end
hisses.

Lyons being still too ill to walk was again carried in by
Williams.

Mr. Welshy conducted the preinientioe, instructed by the
solicitor to th, Treasury ; Mr. It ieetracted as before,
by the Spanish Cowed, appeared for seven of the prisoners.
The Chevalier J. de Schaeffer, Director of the Austrian
emulate in Loodon, was in attendance for the purpose of
watching the case uregavtled Raduck or Paul, who claims to
be a n Austrian subject. Y. de Schaeffer observed that much
&Sanity arose from thu fact that Raduck had given several
different names. He sow stated that he bad demoted from
as Austrian ship at New York, and then assumed the peen-
claim of Itednek„his real name being something altogether
different. Search would be made in the registers, and if it
could be ucertained that this statement was correct, end
that he was us Austrian subject, steps would be taken for
his defence.

Mr. Rosenberg again attended to interpret in Spaniel),
Mr. Persoovitch to interpret in Greek, and Mr. Albert in
French.

Anderson, the ship's carpenter, wu then called, bat being
• Norwegian, and not nndentanding English well, he
could not be examined without the aid of an interpreter.
A messenger wu sent to fetch one, and the ecideuce of
another witness was taken in the meantime.

Frank Cuidereau,Troen Bordeaux, who gave his evidence in
French, interpreted by Mr. Albert. deposed—l was a seaman
in the Flowery Land. I shipped in London. I
slept in the house on deck in same berth with Aoder-
son sad Early. I remember the captain being killed. I
doe% know the time. Some twelve days before that Frank
Paul told me that the men were going to kin the captain.
I told the captain of this, but be only answered, " Oh, no."
I rememberbeisg woke up ou the morning when the captain
was killed, between 3 and half-past 3, by Early and the
carpenter. They were both crying. They told me to go to the
wheel. I salved if it was 4 o'clock, and they said no. I
went to the wheel. The prisoners had capstan bars in their
heeds. I can hardly tell which prisoners, salt was hardly
light. There were seven or eight of them. While I was at
the wheel I asked what was the matter. I was told that the
captain and the first mate were in the sea. I asked
after the captain, and they showed him to me dead in
the cabin. Frank Paul showed me, through the sky-
light. He said "See the captain—he is dead on the floor."
It was also Frank Paul who told me about the captain's
brother and the mate. When it was daylight. I went into
the cabin, and saw the captain wrapped up in mw.
helped to haul the captain up on deck ; they forced me to
do so. Marco Wetter urged me to it . He said to me
"Lead a hand to throw him into the water, and take
care of yourself !" (Pretide garde k toil.) All hands
were in the cabin at that time. They had not the bars in
their hands then. Three or four helped to haul the body
up, but Ido not know which they were. I saw the body of
the captain thrown overboard. 1 helped to throw it over.
Marco Waiter was one. After that 1 looked through the
skylight. The cabin was full of blood. When it be-
came daylight the cabin was cleaned and the men
broke open the chests. Amongst other things
I saw them take out two watches, one belonging
to the captain, end one to his brother. When they found
the money it was divided, and I was called down to take
my there. All hands were there. The second nude divided
the money into I; parts. If it had been good mosey my
share would have been 100 francs, or 4/., but it
was bad money. Some days after that Baailio de
In Santee was in the cabin sharpening his knife,
and he said to me "This knife will serve you the
same as it did the captain." I remember the ship
being sunk. It was 2 o'clock in the morning.
Chanas, Durum, Blanco, and Lyons were the last to ester
the boat. Carp went into the boat with me, but the others,
is
_Spanish, told him to go on board again, and he did so.
I did not see where he went, RI I was le the boat. I heard
him crying in the ship.—[Here much difficulty was found in
undemtanding the witness's statement as to lassap'a excla-
mation. The words the witness used were "Mahan mai de
me courier." Ultimately it appeared that the boy cried out in
English, and the witness being asked what were the words,
replied, " He said, ' Finish to cut me quick.' "I
—After this
I saw the cook go up in the rigging, and the ship weal
down, be still clinging to the rigging till the waves closed
sound and over him. I w him or Cup again.
The witneu proceeded to describe the lest struggles of the
steward in the water.
Williams and Paul were discharged, sad the others com-
mitted.
Mr. Beard has received instructions from the Creek and
; Turkish governments to defend Carlos and Santos.

SUICIDE THROUH DIKTRISS.—(TEILi DAY.}—This
morning, between the boars of mess sod eight o'clock, a
woman of the name of Mary Richardson committed suicide
by throwing herself into a water-butt at the rear of her resi-
dence, 7,Yictoria-place,Lower-road, lalington. The deeesseti
has for some time past been in great distrom owing ha her
work, sue being a lauedrees, falling off. She has two illegiti-
mate children which she sourest the Clarke° well polies tout t
a few months sinorAwbeiranorder was made on the father to
pay 2s. 6d. per week for each, but it is stated that the father
has been very irregular in his payments' and that has also
preyed on her mind. Last night she was beard to say that
labs was so distressed in her mind that she was afraid that she
I would commit suicide, and this morning before the other
lodgers were about she got a chair, and threw herself into
the water-butt as the water was mining in. When she was
got out life was extinct.
PKoPOSED VISIT OF THE BuldirOlt 31EMBERS.
Arrangements bad beets made for a Town Hall meeting neat
1 Weduesilsy (nays the Itirni•ilha, holy Poet of this day),
to hear addresses from the, borough members, Messrs.
Schole6eld and Bright. It was also intended that many of
those who are not brought into contact with these
gentlemen frequently, should have an opportunity of meet-
' iog them at • seine in the Bova Hotel. We regret
to say that, for the present, these meetings must be pose
posed, in consequence of Mr. Bright being confined to the
I boom with a bed cold, which affects his throat, and renders
1 it impossible for him to speak in the Town-hall. It is just
I possible that he may have recovered by Wednesday, but the
committee felt that they were aot justified its asking Mr.
Bright to come so DOOO, even if a favourable change set in
at once. It is probable that the meeting will take place in
the following week. —l3iresi neiliam Dulls' Pool.
