LONDON, FRIDAY, JANUARY 27.

Tea Overland Mill brings tidings of another
of these fearful outrages which of late years
have been so often perpetrated upon our country-
men in China and Japan. Two British officers,
one of whom bad served his ocrustry in the Crimea,
at the Cape, in India, and in China, and both of
whom were held in the highest esteem by their com-
rade., have fallen under the blows of cowardly and
bloodthirsty assassins, murdered, there is reason to
fear, with every aggravation of cruelty which fiendish I
malignity could sweet. Our knowledge of the eir-
onmstenoss of their death is limited and inferential
rather than direct, the Japanese testimony which
was taken being regarded as worthless by English-
men on the spot. From the inquiries made, it
appears that on the morning of the 21st of Novem-
ber, 1864, Major BALDWIN and Lieutenant BIRD,
of the 20th Regiment, left their quarters at
Yokohama, on horseback, for an excursion into
the interior. Their intention was to go as far
as a place called Daiboota, about twenty miles
from their starting point. About half-past ten
they arrived at Enosima, where they met other
excursionists, and partook of some refreshmerta
with Me. BILATTO, • photographer. Enosima is
the last place at which they were seen alive by
Europeans. Signor Vectav, • gentleman in the
service of the King of ITALY, has more to tell of
what took place than any other witness. He saw
the first manifestations of the hatred and jealousy
to which our countrymen owed their death. He
states that he was at Enosima on the 21st of
November, when parties both of Europeans and
Japanese were coming and going to visit the
Great Temple there. The visits of foreigners gene-
rally appear to have been ill received, as Signor
VECCIIT states that the Japanese priest who had
charge of the large tea-hones at the foot of
the Temple refused his party accommodation.
While this display of hostility was taking place,
three or four Japanese officers passed, and Mr.
Been% who was one of the party, called out to
them to give him and his friends a place, impru-
dently adding that "otherwise they would go and
" take one." Major BALDWIN and Lieutenant
BIRD appear to have been present when these words
were spoken, but immediately afterwards left Mr.
Beano, observing that their time was short, and
that they must go to the Temple, whither the
Japan= officers had preceded them. Signor
VELTRY further said :—" About ten minutes after-
" wards, the Japanese officers re-passed the tee-
" house on their return, and looked very savage
"at us. One of them threw back his robe, as
"if to show his sword ; I put my hand
"on my revolver, and I believe that
" others did the same. The Japanese then
" marched on." Signor //ROCKY seems to have
felt that, after what had occurred, there was
danger in proceeding further into the interior, for
he deposes—" I tried to insist upon Major BALD-
" WIN returning to Fusis►wa with us, but be said
"he must see Daiboots before anything." Signor
BEArro states that on the day when this hap-
pened he and his friends found all the tea-houses
in Enoainna closed against them, so that the first
manifestations of Japanese ill-will preceded the
encounter with the officers, and may have been
instigated by them. Oor countrymen left Eno/inns
for Daiboots about noon, but only got about five
miles on the road when they were set upon and
murdered. We forbear to dwell on the circum-

stances attending the discovery of their remains.
Two things appear from these—first, that they
were not killed by oommon thieves, for the sake of
their property—and next, that they did not fall
without resisting. The three captains of the 20th
Regiment, who investigated the facts under the
direction of the consul, state in their verdict that
they have no doubt that this atrocious crime was
the act of Japanese swordsmen, and that the attack
was made on both sides simultaneously by at least
five oraix persons. This barberousmurderhasexcited
the profoundest feelings of indignation and resent-
ment in the foreign community at Yokohama, and
imposed a very difficult duty on the represents-
tire of this country in Japan. The Japan Herald
states that Sir RUTHERFORD ALOOCK is determined
by every means at his command to urge, and, if
necessary, to compel, the Japanese authorities to
do their utmost to discover and deliver up the mur-
derers; and it is stated, on the same good authority,
that the conduct of the Japanese authorities them-
