ARCHITECTURAL. MUSEUM.-EVENING MEET.

INC OP ART-WORKMEN.

A meting of

was held at this

Museum yost;rday evening. The Rev. F. D Maurice,
Principe] of the Working Men's College, addressed the as-
sembly, mastitis, that it was most desirable to ascertain
the position of the ert-workthen in relation to that of the
thinking man ; that the workman ooght to be more of an
artist, sad the artist more of a workman, than was at pre-
sent the ease in this country. The two stood, unfortunately,
at a great dioceses from one another in England, whereby
art suffered both is theory sad in meth*. 'nth reverend
speaker trusted that a better undenteading would grow up
between architects and the workmen whom they employed,
always bearing in mind that each wee born to °order
Messier on the other. He impreeeed upos the
meeting the feet that great equality existed be.
tween mankind as regarded mental capacity ; that
the humblest born might attain to knowledge possessed by
the most exalted members of the community; and that it

was not merely for the workmen to seek what they might
learn in order to distinguish themselves, but for those of a
higher grade to see that ao false social distinctions lifted
them up above their fellow-balege ; to ski themselves of
igameat, ~tiled nodose; sad, above all, to feel that the
highest knowledge did not consist in fostering sod cherish-
ing those ideas which caused a difference between men, bet
rather in discovering and practising the means which tended
to unite them. Mr. Maurice urged upon artists the deep
importance of ealtivetieg the human sympathies in their

intercourse with their fellow-labourers, the art-workmen,
titling assured, he said, that upon such a course depended
the salvation of art; sad that, suited ►> the spirit of hu-
manity, all our efforts at improving society would fail, and
art, science, and divinity would perish. Mr. Maurice was
frequently interrupted by applause during his instructive
and ennouragiag discourse. The meeting wee addressed by
Mr. Scott and several other suemben of the committee and
supporters of the smociatios. The &thistle effect of the
museum was in some respects different, and we think better,
on this than on the last occasion—that of the conversasione.
The very uncalled for features of altar and lighted tapers,
&c., bad been judiciously removed, and the whole museum

wore much more the character of each a school of art as we
should take pleasure in supporting. The muting wu but
thiely attended.

DUBLIN, Jun' 9.

The following is from the week's commercial re•
view of the Freeman:F

There has been • decided improvement in all branches of
trade the last few days, not the loss decided beemme gradual.
In all quarters you bear the same gratifying remark, that
after a long dulness something like • revival appears
growing up. This has especially been the case in the retail
trade, but there has been a fair amount of business don, in
produce, and shares are very steady. The corn market has
paused in its downward moat meat, notwithstanding the
I continued brilliancy of the weather.' Money is very abun-
dant, and in little demand is business circles, from the en-
tit e absenos of speculation, and the small stocks held b
all classes of dealers, as well as the cantinas system which
the ameertain position of affairs for some time past has
engendered.

THE SANGUINARY MASSACRE AND
SUICIDE AT SEA.

The Mayor of Cork, Captain Pollock, RM., and
two other magistrates, Messrs. Torrent and Drew, went on
board the ves'el, Her Majesty, at Queenstown, on Friday,
sod held as investigatios into the horrible transeetion of
which that ship has been the usu.
William Modems, able Mamma, woe MS lest Wilma,
examined—The vessel (Her Majesty) belongs to Whitby,
having a cargo of Indian corn. 81se sailed on 7th May.
Nothing unused occurred at first oa board, with the excep-
tion that James Tule, while we were in Salonics, refused to
week, saying ha was sick. The captain took him os shore to
get medical assistance. He did not appear to me sick. He
(Vole) went on shore a second time, and I uodentood he
was taken to the lleglish ousel for bsiag in the cherehyard.
He was charged with being in the churenyard, and the cap-
tain had to go and get him released. He then came on
board, and did his duty until the vessel sailed. Nothing
particular occurred until Thursday, 211th June. On that
night, about half,past, tin o'clock, I was on deck,
and I saw the captain come up on dtek oat of
the cable, and he asked for " Jim " (the murderer).
I told him I thought he was forward. The captain then
went forward, went into the galley and found him, and
roused him out ; he came out on the starboard side, and
passed forward. The captain came out on the larboazd side,
and they met at the bow of the long•boat. They came as
far back is the first gripe. The captain then sung out
" murder," and sung out for " Bill.' 1 ran to his mist-
lune as fast as possible. When 1 got forward I found the
captain broad upon his back on the deck, and James Veale
kneeling on him and darting a knife into him. I ran to
him, and Voile immediately got up and he chased me with
the knife. I ran towards the cabin ; the boy (Win. Newton)
was with me. James Veale chased us hits the cabin with
the knife. We roused the mate as we were poising his
berth. We cried, "Rouse up, Mr. Cole—murder, mur-
der !" Veal' wee behind me, and the mate was tutting
eat, when Veale rushed at him, and stabbed him. The
mate gave a heavy groan and came oa deck. Veale ran up
on deck, went forward, and I did not ice him again. I got
into the state room along with George Bald, ordinary sea-
man; and then Veal. came down and stood at the door
trying to get in. The door wee fastened against him
and I had my foot egainst it to keep it shut. Veal;
*mild not get in, and Bald had only time to put a cap on a
pistol which he snapped at him. We then loaded two
pistols. Bald then went on deck, but while going up
Veal. stabbed him in the shoulder and the neck, and the
pistol which Bald had want off. Bald fell down the ladder,
and cried out that he was stabbed. The pistol remained on
dirk, and Veale took it up. We (George Bald and 1) then
staid all night below in the tibia. The cook (Thomas
Weeks) came down in about an hour, bleeding from his
wounds. We remained in the cabin until daybreak. The
wok was wounded in twelve different places. Is the
morning John Bull, ordinary seaman, came to the skylight,
and I sung out, " Jack, are you alive ? Where Is James
Veal. ? He said, "He Is down forward." We then
went on deck instantly. We saw James K gh in the
main-topsail, and I called him down. He came down, and
we all went forward. James Kevanegh inn George Bald
stood sentry over the forecastle scuttle hatch for •
considerable time, until Gums Bald got weak from
loss of blood, and could stand no longer. He then sent for
me, and I left the wheel, and sent tne boy for a hammer,
nails, and a gimlet, and I nailed the hatch, and being
afraid the nails were not strong enough, I fastened it with
ropes. Before I fastened it, I fired a musket down. Yeah,
tried bard to let out, bat was not able to do so. I then
made signals of distress. I saw a vessel at some distance,
but could not get at her. We then saw another vessel on
the weather bow and made towards her. 1 got the speak-
ing trumpet and hailed her. I then told the csptain that
our captain and mate were murdered, and three of the
crew dying of their wound., and begged him for God's sake
not to leave me. The captain replied he would not leave
me. He then sent a boat with the mate and two seamen,
and on coming on board and seeing the circumstances they
returned to the ship for more help. They soon after re-
turned with more help. When they came on board they
came forward and broke the bull's eye. We found James
Veal* fastened by the neck to the stanchion. He was
brought on deck quite dead. He was thrown overboard.
Veal. was a sullen, silent kind of man, very saber, and
would not mix with the sailors, but he never would do wort.
The captain was kind to him dn'ing the voyspe.
James Kavanagh, sworn-1 was down in the forecastlo
asleep about half-put ten o'clock on Thunday night when I
heard the cook crying " Murder, murder." I jumped up
on my chest, and saw the cook coming out of his bunk end
bleeding all over. He begged of me to tail the captain,
and I ran on deck and called out for the captain, the mate,
and all bands. I could get no answer, mr see any person
on deck only James Veale aft at the wheel steering, and
watching down the cabin skylight and companion. I went
dowa the forecastle again, and told John Ball and the cook
(both of whom were stabbed and lay in a gore of blood)
that I thought all hands on board the skip were murdered.
I ran on deck again sod watched James Veal. at the
wheel, and saw him coming forward on one side of the
deck. I slipped along at the other side of the deck, and the
long boat shaded me from him. I came aft see far as the
main rigging, and looked round to see whether Veale was
coming round after me. I heard the cook sir gins out
" murder " from the foreca'tle. I knew then that Veale
had gone down there. I went up into the maintop,
and hid myself in the maintop gallant studding
sail, and watched Veale, sad soon afterwards I
saw him coming aft, and I saw him watching
dun the companion and cabin skylight again. I
heard the report of firearms. The next thing I saw Veal.
doing was leaning over the ship's side, hacking at it with
the captain's ads*. He then came and cut a hole in her
deck, and I saw him no more until after we had him bat-
tened below in the fore cabin, when be attempted to force
his way out. I bad a pistol in one band end a bayonet is
the other, and I told him if he came out I would shoot him,
but if he remaiaed emiet I would let him alone until the
men came upend put him to rights. Veale said he wished
me to shoot him, sad opened his breast and desired me to do
so, but I said I would not unless be forced his way out.
When he found I would not shoot him he went down and
hanged himself. Whea the men from the strange vessel
came cu deck Veal* was broeght up out of the forecastle.
I saw that his throat was cut, and he had three wounds in
his stomach.
Mr. J. C. Howe, mate of the Isabella, was examined, but
his evidence threw no additional lighten the affair.
The magistrates having taken down the depositions,
Mr. Tarrant observed that from the evident* it appeared
that Veal* had committed the acts while in • state of in-
sanity.
The other magistrates concurred in this opinion, and the
Inquiry terminated at seven o'clock.
Tbe vessel still remains in the harbour, in charge of Mt.
Howe and the men under his command.

of the metropolis, criticised the manner in which their edu-
cation, in common with that of the deaf and dumb, as
now eottdected. He considered it to be very defective,
partly in principle and partly in pmecioe, owing to the want
of Invernmeat sespeetion to ensure a proper system and des
