MR. JOAN CARDEN AGAIN.

(From the Dahlia Ere'ling Mad at yesterday.)
Tins "gentleman" still haunts with his abhorred
presence the lady who has solemnly sworn, in a court of
justice, that she detest* the sight of him. For some'
weeks pest he installed himself in the inn at Gort,
adjacent to Loughccoter Castle, where Mira Ar-
buthnot was residing, and, by means of spies, con.
trivet' to wsclay and intercept her in all her rides, so
that she at last, for safety, was compelled to confine
her exclusions within the walla of her sister's deme,ne.
This is very manly and affectionate on the part of an
Irish Knight Errant of three end-fifty, is it not

A few day+ ago the German names of the street.
in Agram were daubed corer with black paint, and en the
2flth of November there was an anti-German demonstration

in the theatre. The German actors and ectressee were not
allowed to perform, and when they attempted to address
the public, they were pelted with rotten 'spend other
ovally offensive missiles. The orchestra played "God
rave the Emperor," but the noise made by the audienm was
so tremendous that hardly a sots could be heard. The dia.
tarbence continued until a Croat actor appeared and pro-
mised his fellow-countrymen that in future the *Leonia
language should he used on the stage. During the follow•
ing night several howitzers and other guns were introduced
into the capital of Croatia.

Racarruat or A VESSEL—The orders for paying
off the crew of the railing frigate Amethyst, 26, Captain
Sidney I:eel:dell, at Plymouth, where she arrived from the
Pacific on Thursday, have been coontermaosled, and she is
now to go to Chatham. .It was at first expected that the
cnsclition of her foremast, which is damaged, might have
prevented her from going to an modem port. When this
ship was blockading the coast of China her crew performed
a very clever and daring act. An Austrian brig, laden with
coffee and sugar. was captured at sea by some China,
rebel pirates, who moored her under one of their own
forts. When the fact became known it was determined to
attempt a rescue by those on hoard the frigate. Her two
cutter. and gig were manned, and placed under charge of
th,, master. With muffled own they approached the brig in
the eight, and boarded her by OW forechains, cutler in
hand. Much to their surprise, theonly person on board was
the Austrian mate, who instructed them where to find the
shackle of the chain cable. They then dropped a kedge
anchor come diotonce ahead. awl, unshackling the cable,
owlet's. warped the brig from under the rebels guns into a
position ',here canvas could be spread, rod sailed safely out
of the harbour. It is probable that the crew of the Ame-
thyst will be entitled to prize-money for this bold recapture.

Slits 'KING DINER OE A CLZEGYMAX.—An inquest
was held on Thtusday at the resideace of 0. Whittaker,
Esq., Caldwell, near Pershore, a magistrate for the county
of Worcester, on the body of that gentleman's brother, the
Rev. Thor. Whittaker, which was found floating in a small
stream near on the previous day. It appears that the rev.
sandmen had been to see a farmer named Phipps, living
at Defford, • mile or two from his place of abode, and left
shortly after three o'clock to return horns. He was seen
proceeding in the direction of Caldwell, but as he did not
return to dinner inquiries were made, and he was traced
to Dear his own residence, where all further traces were lost.
A brook rims near Mr. Whittaker's residence, which just
now is much flooded by the late hairy rains, and it was
feared that he had fallen into it and been drowned. Search
was maul. daring the whole of the night, but it was not
until next morning that the body was found, the deceased
having apparently been demi some hours. There could be
Du doubt, that his death was cccidentsl, and the jury re-
turned a verdict to that effect. The deceased was about
fifty yetis of age, was much respected, and the event has
cast quite a gloom over the neighhourhood.
