STEAMER BON DOWN OFF 0111ENOCK.

About a quarter past six o'clock on Saturday
mooning a Wham% took pleas in Cartadyke Bay, a little ems. j
wards from Greenock, between the mew steamer Emerald,
161 toes, Oman, master, at present trading between Olas-
stow, Ayr, and Liverpool, and the screw steamer Auguste
Lmiee, 116 tone, M'Neill, toaster, belonging to Mr. H.
L. Seligman, Glaagow, and trading between the latter
pert and Bordeaux via Dublin, in which the latter vessel
was so murk injured that she settled down almost imme-
diately. We gather the following particulars from those
on board the Auguste Louise : —At 6.15 a.m. the mead
was passing up towards Cartedyke Bay, bound for Glee-
ctircx, est her voyage inwards from Chareote and Bor-
via wi.h a cargo of brandy, wine, and
madder root on boa;d. They had halted off Greenock and
rang their bell for a long time, signalling for a pilot, but no
one came off, and the vessel then proceeded *lowly on her
comm. The morning was dark, but not thick, end the
steamer's masthead light end starboard light were burning
clearly, end bee port light was being trimmed. Captain
M'Netil was upon the bridge looking out, and while in Carta-
dyke Bay be saw the Emerald approaching, her port
light being clearly visible. He immediately gave oriels to
port the helm hard, and he bad scarcely done so when the
Emerald ran bow into the Augusts Lodes. striking hoe
nearly amidships on the port ride, and cutting her down
below the water's edge. The bridge at the latter vessel, on
which Captain Id`Neill was standing at the time, wee
demolished, and he was thrown into the engine room,
sustaining some Injury, but be immediately regained
the deck, and found the mewl Met filling and settling doers.
By this time the Emerald bad stopped and backed off, and
took the crew of the Auguste Louise on board. At this !
period it was within two bona of low water ; and, sites
striking, the Auguste Louise stewed round, with her head
shallow d rattled down upon the bed of the river, which
le ve at the place, and the stern got nearly under
water, and the bow pert, which was more buoyant, was con-
siderably elevated. The Emerald sustained little or no
damsge, and took additional cargo on board at Gromork, and
proceeded to Ayr two boors after the collision. Without
; loss of time, Captain 111• Neill, with the Clyde hipping
Company's tug Nimrod, and a lighter and a bad,.
, proceeded out to the Auguste Louise. which, awe have said,
'meetly partially submerged, and commenced to remove the
cargo, and they expected to have done before the tide flowed,
so se almost to cover the hull of the vessel.--Vorth Britidt

THE MURDER IN DUBLIN.

An inquest era held on Monday on the body of
liargeret Black, aged about 35, who was murdered by her
husband in Dublin onSaturday last, as reported in the Express
of yestaday. The result of the inquiry was a verdict
of wilful murder against Thomas Black, the husband of the
deceased, who did not appear at the inquest. During the
oontlananos of the proaeatoge the street opposite to the house

was crowded with -
James Black, the eurviving child of the decreed, about
Mx years old, examined—My father's name is Thomas
Black. My mrelier's mime is Margaret. I remember lest
Saturday sight. My father sad my mother went out to-
gether, es sant Mary told um, for I wee out. I was over at
Moleay'a, in Patrick-street, when we formerly lived. I bad
not got my dinner when 1 went out. At Idolaters I got a bit of
breed from liarysans Ryan, and that warn all the diner I got.
When I come hies Gni I Land my mother's room door shut.
and I maid not get in. The door of this, my aunt's mom;
was also Ant, and not being able to get into it, 1 want bock
to Moiony's. I don't know how long I was at Makers the
sewed limn I gems again to my mother's room and bead
the door shut. I mad ley aunt'. room, and Boding the dew
open, want in. Before my father and my mother went Mt.
thaws was no quarreliieg or fighting between them. After I
came home the second time, and had gone into my aunt's
room, I west orbs to my mother's room doer and said,
' Dada, let me In." He said, "Go along oat of the,
and would sot let ma in. The door was locked. I did net
hear my father epssklag to any one, and I did not know
whether my mother was then In the room et see. DIANN
my father told me to go along our of that, I hod hem in
father and mother's room. On that occasion my father de-
nted me to light a candle, and I lighted ons with • bit of
paper. 'then I sew my father kicking my mother at the
head, she lying on the floor. I ran away. I dad net see my
mother after that. I ran away for Mammas to try that
my father would not kick my mother, and I was afraid he
would beat myself. My mother did not scream Of say any-
thing when she was kicked. My father was kicking her a
long time. He was drunk. My mother wee drunk. I have
only seen my mother drinking when she took drink with my
father. I saw my father beat bee in Sandymorast a long
tiros ago, and that is the only time I ever sew him best her.
Mre. Mary Quin examined—My hothead le a painter,
and we occupy chi; room. The decreed was my mister.
She wee married to Timmer Black, • painter, and they oocu-
pied the back top room adjoining this one. Black was in
Mellinger, and on his return, about a month ago, broke his
temperance pledge, which ha had previously taken,and he has
been drinking ever since. Bestow lived on good terms with
his wife only excepting • hen he got drink. They were not on
bed terms excepting that when he got drunk he beat her. He
would take her out and give her a any, and when they crime
home be would beat her. Lest week, sitting at the fire, the
deceased said to me that her husband had told her that sooner
or later he would kill her and kill himself afterwards.
Coroner—Was he jealous of her P
Witness—She often asked him when he was sober why he
beat her, and he used to reply that be could not account for
it, for that be loved her stove the world. Abouteight o'clock
on last Saturday evening was coming into the house with
coals when Bleck poised me in the hall, and he was marts(
liks a bull. He was standing st the foot of disdain roaring,
and a shopboy from Summeris came cut and salted him what
he wee doing. He was calling his wife, and 1 said she wee
above. He made moo answer. He was very drunk them—at
leant he let on to be drunk. I could not tell whether he was
or not. I came upstairs, and putting my head Into my
sister's room, told her be wee calling her. " I hew
him," the said, and added that she was going to him. I
heard her going downstairs. I looked out of the window
and saw an outside car a little below the door. They both
got on the car. They hid an image between there, which
sae bad amid downstairs and given to him at the door.
They both sat on the same side of the car, which drove
down towards Patrick-street. She wee surely sober at
that time, via., about eight o'clock. About four o'clock in
the evening there bad been a slight digresses between
Black and my husband, In Black's room, about a reckoning
of money. I heard it from this mem. My husband went
out alter his dinner to Dempsey's for the purpose of in-
quiring how much Bleck got tor a job. I west after hire for
the purpose of keeping him from getting drunk, because I
knew that if he got any drink there would be murder between
him and Black, for they were courinually quarrelling. When
I got to Deropesy's I was told by Mr. Dempsey that my steer
and Black bad just left. My husband was standing in the
shop waiting to sea Mr. Dempsey. It won before deceased
and her husband took sway the image on the car from their
hall-door that they were drinking at Dempsey's. From the
time they drove away on the car 1 did not sae my sister until
I put my hand on her person in her bed about half-past 11
o'clock the same night. I kept my husband out on Saturday
night until half-paet 11 o'clock in.:leder to prevent quarrelling.
At that hour we came up here along with Mr. Kenny, of
Black Pitts, who remained hero a good while and sang two
stage. While they were ringing I slipped into my sister's
room to see how they were going on. Th, re was no candle
In the room, only the light of the fire. I saw Black
standing at the bedside with only his shirt on, and my either
wee lying on the bed on her mouth and nose, and quite naked.
I did not speak to Black, nor did NI speak to me. I went for-
ward to the bed and put my hand on my sifter, and febed l
Het that
she was cold. I thought they were only going te .
stood motionless. I did not stay a moment in their room but
came back here. I had no thought in life at that time that
my sister was then dead. In a couple of minutes afterwards
my sifter's eon came into my room. I sited him why he was
not in bed In his own room and his reply was, a' My dsda
would not let me in. Wins; Mr. Kenny went away I stripped
him and put him to bed here. My husband and lof
went to bed. We arms, to the best of my opinion, about ten
o'clock on Sunday morning. I got breakfast ready And was
preparing to go to prayers. I told James Blink to go Into his
mother's room fa a loan of a cape for me. Ile did go, but im-
mediately returned, saying, • Oh, aunt Mary, come in,
there'. thenething." 'rhea I went in and saw do:eased
lying on her back. with her bead turned backwards. The
bedclothes was over her, but when I raised them I (mud
that her body was naked, and that she was in gores of
blood. To the best of my opinion this wee about half-past
II o'clock, or closing 12. 1 Mouldy came back to my
room, and said to my husband, " She is no more; he is alter
murdering her." Mrs. Cooney, at the opposite aide of the
I street, head my screams, and came over. Mbrought her up. Mey husband
went down for Mts. Neil, and e. Cooney,
Mrs. Neil, and my husband went into the room. I can't
say whether I went in or not then, 1 wee in meth a state.
The room was knocked and tossed about ; the lender
woe broken, and I found all my sister's clothes in-
cluding bee chemise, torn into atoms and scattered
about the bed end floor. The lid was off their teapot.
Dr. Ryan, I think, was then sent for, and cane soma after-
wards. Deceased had a now pair of boots on her, which I
know her husband had bought her on Saturday night, and
which I took off. When the child went to the room on Sun-
day morning the door was open. Deceased only had stock-
ings on besides the boots, and a piece of her chemise about hie
aria, at the time she wee found. There was a chisel lying on
the ioalbox in the room, but there was no blood on it, end
there was also a poker. At the time I went into the room ea
Saturday night a piece of the clothes tripped me up, and the
rest were on the bed. When I saw Black standing at the bed-
side I thought that he wise waiting to get my man, and re-
turned to my own room.
After other witnesses had been examined,
The Coroner recapitulated the evidence and said there
appeared to be no doubt that the deceased hid been murdered
by her hothead.
The jury, without beeitation, unanimously found " that
Margaret Black wee wilfully murdered by her hatband,
Thomas Black, on the night of Saturday, the Sth of

January."
An eider was made for the interment of the body of the
decanted, and the coroner Matted a warrant for the eppreiten-
Mon of Thomas Blmk.

ELOPEMENT IN THE EAST HlDlNG.—Another
strange much has again been m►de in the Riot Riding of
Yorkshire, respecting which the followleg are a few brief
particulars . —An accomplished young lady, daughter of •
squire, resident not 60 miles front the tom of Dnflleld, bed
become attached to her father's valet, end the chancing
beauty (for such she is) resolved to communicate her
thoughts to her admired one. This done, of course he
readily proposed • speedy marriage, to which she contented,
but as to how the marriage wee to be effected without the
knowledge of her parents was • matter for consideration.
With the ingenuity peculiar to her stn she POlll2 overcame
the difficulty. She proposed to her father • visit to a friend
in the country, some 20 miles distant, for a tortnight or re.
Consent was obtained, and the necessary instructions were
given by the young lady to the valet to meet her at the ter-
mination of a week at York. She, instead at going to the
"relation's." proceeded to York, where a week after her
departure, she was met by the young man, who had also ob-
tained leave for • ample of days. No suspicion whatever
was estertalisad by the parents, who were startled in the
course of • fortnight by moiling "the wedding cede:*

LONDON. WIDNZBD4 1, JAN. 12.

Tits serious state of Italy is as vividly illustrated
by the assowity jest granted to 61 of his subjects
when only fault and crime was t►eir patriotism, by
the King of N ',run., as by the addition of 40,000
men to t►e Austrian army of occupation.
'this intelligence is a relief to outraged nature;
and Europe will, it is to be hoped, show in some way
to the unhappy victims of this unparalleled tyranny,
that st can feel for their deep wrongs, and welcome
them beck again into the light of Heaven, and to
the pure air of our common Creator, in • manner
that will esooerats the nineteenth century from all
participation in the crime of its basest and worst
sovereign—at ones • disgrace to monarchy and a
*caudal to maakind.

It is not, however, by acts even of this kind, per-
formed at the eleventh hour, that the King of
N %Nis an be re-admitted into public and recog-
nised intercourse with Frazee and England. Care-
fully as the present Oovernommit of England conceal
their views and wishes es to Italy—unknown as the
policy of our Cabinet is on the question which now
occupies the attention and awakens the fears and
apprehensions of every rational man in Europe, any
manifestation on their part of an intention to resume
diplomatic relations with the Court of Naples because
that Court has yielded to alarm and the entreaties of
Russia, what it denied to humanity and the repre-
sentations of England and France, must and will be
resisted by man who has a heart to feel or a
head to appreciate what VICTOR EMMANUEL so
touchingly and truthfully calls the anguish of that
country.

No doubt. an amnesty was an indispensable con-
dition to even a consideration of renewed intercourse.
But it was not the only requirement. It was a pre-
liminary without which the subject could not be en-
tertained. But, the amnesty granted, much more
remains to be done before it befite the honour or the
self-respect of England, either to receive from or
send representatives to Naples. And if this were
so months ago. it is far more imperative and indis-
pensable now, when the whole question of Italy has
risen (as every rational man knew that, loft to itself,
it must rise) into one of the most dangerous Euro-
pean importance, when the entire country, South,
Centro!, and North, is boiling over with disaffection,
when Austria augments Be preciously enormous
garrisons, and everything forebodes complications,
disorders, and difficulties of the gravest and most
alarming kind.

WI, learn from the papers which are in commu-
nication with the Government that the arrangements
couwyuent upon the retirement of Lord Netatr, the

Governor-General of Madras, are now completed.
Sir Cu %air+ lltevxtv iN, Assistant-Secretary to
the Treasury, will succeed to the government of that
Presidency, and will be succeeded in that permanent
post by Mr. Gtvai.p. At.tx tmuza HAMILTON, M.P.
for the Univeroiy of Dublin, who, since the advent
at the Das lir Ministry, has acted as Financial &cos-
tary to the treasury. Sir STAFFORD NORTHCOTE,

Mal Secretary.
