before the magistrates at Hensel Hempstead on Wednesday
relative to thin affair. They were taken down to the West
Herta Infirmary, where Cook bee, to see if he could re

of them. He said after be was shot a man came to him
and dotal over hint, and asked him if his name was Bargees,
and whether be was badly hurt. This man had a gruff
voice and very bushy whiskers. Cook was asked whether
either of the men before him was like that man. He replied
" That man resembles him," pointing to the prisoner
Bliss. Cook also said that the DAD who spoke to
him wore a coat and a cap like those worn then by
Min. Burgess, the keeper who escaped unhurt, swore

msny with Bliss, fetched his gun away from a whitemnith's

together at about a quarter to 12 on that night at (lane's
house, which is a mile or two from the scene of the murder.
Cane's gun was found next morning to be broken in a part
which the whiteernith had recently mended, and it appeared

lINTosrrNATELELVS-TA/LERB.—OD Thursday last,
over 400 emigrants took their departure from thin country
for America by the mail steamers which left Queenstown
for New York and Portland. While the steamers were in
the harbour a considerable number of country people,
friends of the emigrants, accompanied them on beard,
to bid them farewell, intending to return either by boat or
by one of the steam tenders, which they supposed would
remain No e. To their dismay, however, the mails
being placed on board, the steamers got under weigh,
being bound under heavy penalties to be on the route by a
given time, and before any means could be procured to
send the arties ashore the steamers were es route te,
America, having 26 of them on board. Several of tkule un-
lucky individuals, who have DOW a journey of some 5,000
miles before them to America and hack, had actually left
their carte and some of the members of their families
behind them in Queenstown, and the inconvenience and
alarm occasioned by the unwelcome trip to which they
have been treated may be easily imagined.—Cork Coasts-

A IttYWLWAY RAILWAY ENOINE..--011 Tuesday
morning last, an engine winch had run away from the
terminus of the West Cornwall line at Penzance, was se-
cured at Cern Brea. The Sight of the runaway was tele-
graphed to Truro, where the officials were on the look-out
for its arrival, and consequently delayed the departure of the
first morning train from the Newham station. The occur-
rence took place as follows :—On the arrival of the lest trsia
at Penzance in the evening, the engine is run under a shed,
its coke raked out, and during the night is thoroughly
cleaned. In the morning some men light the fire of the
engine, and thus things are in trim for the driver and
stoker, at 6 o'clock On Tuesday morning this pro-
cess had taken plasm at 5 o'clock, and the engine
cleaner had retired for a moment. On his return
the engine was gone. He had left the regulator open
and the break up : the fire had caught quickly, steam
ewe, and away went the riderless puffer over the wooden
viaduct at Chyandour, smash through thegates at Marazion
station, slowly up the incline, 60 miles an hour down steep
gradients, over many unoccupied crossings, through nume-
rous pairs of stoat gates, by St. lees road and trivia,
Owinear road and Camhorne, until its breath was nearly
gone. The first of a pair of gates near Pool it opened, the
second it tore up and bore along the line on its cow-catcher.
until at ('ern Brea some one saw it coming at an abated
with the gate in front., jumped on it, and thus *soured
Itred, truant—most fortunately not the slightest harm having
occurred except to the gates aforesaid during its unrestrained
MD of 16 or 17 miles. An engine was sent from Penzance
in pursuit, but could not overtake the runway, and, there-
fore returned forthe conveyaneeof the uptrain.—PfraoidA

in the east than in Europe. Some of the horse dawk com-
