I immaterial to the real issue, the testimony of the Brazilian
authorities is conclusive. In the report made by Captain
t
Collins to the Naval Secretary every admission is made
which suffices to stamp the seizure of the Confederate vessel
as an unprovoked outrage on the rights of Brazil. " The
Florida," he writes, " with 58 men and 12 officers, was
cap ured about three o'clock on the morning of the 7th
October, in the Bay of San Salvador, Brazil, by the officers
, and crew of this vessel, without loss of life. Five of the
officers, including her commander, and the remainder of the
` crew were ashore. The Florida had her mainmast and
mainyard carried away, and her bulwarks cut down. This
vessel sustained no injury," We will be p^rfectly content
to strike out, as surplusage, the details of the transaction
which Captain Collins promised should be forwarded to the
Chief of the Naval Department, and which have already
appeared in the English and the American papers, and to
let the claims of Brazil for reparation and apology rest en
the facts admitted in the former report of the captain of the
Wachusett. In the dead of night, and in the harbour of a
neutral Power, Captain Collins admits that he captured an
enemy's vessel, having carried away her mainmast and cut
down her bulwarks in what, we believe, will turn out to have
been an ineffectual attempt to sink the vessel and all she
contained as she lay at anchor. Of justification or excuse
for an act which, devoid of such, is on the face of it illegal,
there is not a single word, That such a report could be sub-
mitted to his superiors by an officer employed in the navy
of a civilised State is in itself one of no ordinary significance.
But, turning from Captain Collins's report to the detailed
account published by the Boston _Post, one is struck by the
apparent unconsciousness on the part of the writer that the
capture of the Florida was other than a highly meritorious
act. It commences by stating that the Kearsage, which had
just arrived in the port of Boston, brought "the gratifying
intelligence of the capture of the pirate Florida." Then
follows a detained account of the circumstances under which
the Florida was seized, an account which, as we have
already observed, is almost identical with that which was
furnished to us by the captain of that vessel. That the Con-
federate vessel was in the Brazilian port is admitted—nay,
it is even eta ted that she " was taken charge by the Brazi-
lian authorities, and came to anchor under the guns of two
forts, one mounting 21 and the other 18 guns ; a sloop of
war of 21 guns, and a barque, also carrying artillery, both
belonging to the Brazilian Government, also anchored
within pistol shot of the Florida, and formed a circle around
her." Of the fact of her Laving been under the protection
of the Brazilian Government no doubt can exist, and we are
therefcre induced to give perfect credence to the additional
statement that—" The officers of the rebel craft seemed to
entertain no fear of danger from the Wachusett, and
everything about the ship was still and silent as on board
a merchantman." Such being the position of the Florida, we
are told that the captain of the Wachusett "called a
consultation of his officers, at which it was re.
solved to sink the pirate in the harbour;" and, in pur-
suance of this resolution, " Captain Collins aimed to strike
the vessel amidships, which would almost instantly have
sunk her; but his vessel veered and he hit her on the
quarter." In consequence of this error in steering the
Florida had merely her bulwarks cut down and her main-
mast carried away; but as, "in the excitement of the oc-
casion, some pistols were discharged and two guns acci-
dentally fired from the Wachusett," the officer in sommand
of the Florida, being " unprepared, had no alternative but
to surrender." The sequel is stated with a frankness which
is unexceptionable. The Wachusett towed the Florida out
to sea, and " when the day broke Captain Collins saw a
side-wheel steamer towing a Brazilian man-of-war out of
Bahia, but he put on all sail and a full head of steam and
was soon out of sight." Such is the story as it is told by
an American journal, and without one single word of regret
or the faintest expression of a suspicion that a grievous
offence against the law of nations had been committed.
Newspapers are universally accepted as the organs of public
opinion, and correctly so, for unless they expressed with
tolerable accuracy the sentiments of their readers they
could not possibly exist. The publication of a newspaper
is a purely commercial speculation, and like everything of
a similar character it depends exclusively on the public
support. We can scarcely believe that the sentiments of
the writer in the Boston Post will be endorsed by the Fede-
ral Government; but that such sentiments should be ex-
pressed with the sincere and, doubtless, well-founded belief
that they would meet with the approval of the public to
whom they wore addressed speaks badly not only for the
legal but for the moral training of the American people.

being the property of the deceased. She knew the locket
produced (which had been pledged with the ring) ; the por-
trait inside was that of the murdered man. She had seen it
many times before, and could swear to it. All these things
were in the posses&on of " John" before be left her house.
He left them, but returned on the next day and received
them on paying 15s, which he owed. They were taken away
from her house when he went to lodge with Kohl. She saw
that the deceased had £4 7s 61 in his possession when he
left her house, and ho said that he intended to proceed to
Germany.
Cross-examined by Mr Wood—When the deceased left
my house there was some conversation about the money
he owed me, and witness sent for the police.
Joseph Williams, of 8, Hoy- street, said he was a boiler-
maker, and the prisoner was his brother-in-law, 01 the
afternoon of the 15th of October witness met the ;prisoner
about half-past four o'clock, at the top of Hoy-street, and
they went and had two pints of stout at the Duke of Cam-
bridge Tavern. The prisoner then showed him the ticket of
a watch. Witness asked if John was gone away, and the
prisoner replied " Yes." Witness then said that he thought
he saw John about three o'clock on that afternoon,when the
prisoner rejoined that John had met with an accident, and
that he had left him at North Woolwich. Witness proposed
to go and see him, when the prisoner said, " John will not
like to come home until after dark." The prisoner said
John's accident arose from a pistol which he was playing
with, and that he held it to his ear, and talked about com-
mitting suicide. Witness went home and had his tea, and
went to the prisoner's house at seven o'clock, when the pri..
saner told him that John was in bed and asleep. The pri-
soner also told him that John sent him to pawn his watch
at Darlow's. After the police searched the prisoner's house
witness saw a padlock on the premises hanging on a nail,
and he took it, but afterwards lost it.
By the Coroner—The prisoner said that the deceased
took a pistol from his pocket and held it to his head, and it
went " click."
By Mr Wood—He believed that tho prisoner and de-
ceased often went together to pawn articles.
Andrew Stewart, of Clyde-wharf, Victoria Docks, said he
was a sugar-boiler, and had known the prisoner about three
months. The prisoner had been in the employ of witness,
and was so in September last. Witness remembered the
body of the deceased man being found on Tuesday, the Bth
inst. He knew the reed-bed where the body was found.
He saw the prisoner standing close to his premises on the
Monday and Tuesday of the week when the body was
sound. The premises of witness were about 500 yards from
the reed bed. On one morning, but he could not say when,
he saw the prisoner close to his premises as early is the
morning as half-past 6. The prisoner asked witness for em•

bridge, London. B.E.

ployment, and witness said, `, I thought you were going to
Germany, as you said you intended to go there when you
left me." The prisoner said he had been to Germany, bu t
had returned.
By the Coroner—Witness believed that he first accosted
the prisoner by saying, " Hallos, I thought you were gone
to Germany," and the prisoner then said he had returned.
The prisoner left the employ of witness in September last.
Wm. Richardson, landlord of the Graving Dock Tavern,
North Woolwich-road, said on Tuesday, November 8, the
body of the deceased was brought to his house. Witness
saw the prisoner at 4 o'clock on that afternoon, and asked
him if he had not missed a friend, and the prisoner replied
"Yes, he had lost him in R atcliff-highway." In reply to
his questions the prisoner said he had made no inquiry re-
specting his friend, and that he did not wish to see the body,
as he did not like to witness such sights. The prisoner after-
wards accompanied witness to see the body, and witness
pointed out the clothing found upon it. On first seeing the
body the prisoner shivered and turned his face towards the
wall. Witness then said to the prisoner, `. I think you know
something about this, and I shall detain you and give you
into custody." The prisoner made no reply. He had previ-
ously said that he believed the trousers found on the body
belonged to his companion John, but the boots were not the
same. The witness then detailed evidence previously given
as to the prisoner's apprehension.

James Burbigh, assistant to Mr Ashbridge, pawnbroker,
of 1, Waterloo-terrace, Commercial-road East, said a coat
was pawned at his master's shop for 7s on Oot, 20.
The Coroner—Have you brought it?
Witness—No, I came away in a great burry,
Coroner—. Then the sooner you get home the better.
The witness said the coat had been produced before the
magistrate on the previous Saturday and identified.

Mrs 'Warren was then recalled, and said on Saturday
East she saw an overcoat produced by the witness Burleigh,

and ehe at once identified it as having belonged to the mur-
dered man, who took it away from her house with a railway
blanket on the Monday before he went to live at Kohl's.
Edward Dangerfield, assis!ant to INIr CresswPll, pawn-
broker, of 88, High-street, Whitechapol, produced a coat
pawned for 2s, on the 14th September, in the name of John
Cole, 9, Leman-street. He believed the prisoner pawned
the coat, but could not swear to him.

Mrs Warren, on inspecting the coat, said she could not
identify it as belonging to the murdered man.
Mrs Elizi Whitmore, who resided in the same house as

the prisoner and the deceased, at 4, Hay-street, was then
re-examined, and repeated her former statement that she
saw the prisoner go out between seven and eight o'clock on
the Monday morning before the body was discovered. She
did not see him return, but saw him a short time after he
returned, and said to him, " Then you have not gone to
work yet ?" He replied that the gentleman was gone to
Scotland, and would not return for three or four days, and
at the expiration of that time he was going to work for him.
She did not remember what the prisoner wore when he went
out with the deceased on the morning of the 3d inst.
Dr Morris, of Victoria Dock-road, was then re-examined
as to the result of the post mortem examination of the de-
ceased. On examining the head he found a very extensive
fracture of the left temporal bone, and the fracture of the
bone readily admitted his three fingers. The bone was, in
fact, completely smashed, as though it was done by a ham-
mer or a hatchet. The brain was healthy in appearance,
but very much lacerated on the left side owing to the frac-
ture of the skull, All the viscera of the chest and abdomen
were very healthy. The stomach contained about three or
four ounces of undigested food. There was no blood in
the heart, which might easily be accounted for by haemor-
rhage which took place from the wound in the brain. These
were all the appearances which ha saw. The result of his
examination convinced him that the first blow was given at
the back of the head, and from the appearance of the wound

Henry's ;" and the witness Hudson observed that both
men were talking in a language which he did not under -
stand. The coroner then referred to the return of the pri-
soner on the morning of the 3d instant, his clothes in a
muddy condition, and the reason he gave that ho had been
riding in a butcher's cart. The fact that he had done so
would be no reason for his mu ldy condition, and the jury
would draw their owe c^neusion from the circumstance.
The prisoner then broke open the box of the deceased man.
Now it appeared that no money was owing to him, and he
had therefore clearly no right to commit such an act, and
could have no excuse for eo doing. If the prisoner had been
pledging the property of the deceased from the first day that
, he entered the house he must have been aware that the boxes
could not be far from empty. It had also been proved that
the prisoner went out at en unusually early hour on the
morning of Monday, the 7th lust, and taking into account
the knife which was previously in the prisoner's possession,
and was afterwards found in the reed bed, it would be for
the jury to oonsider whether the prisoner went at that early
hour to that particular spot for a special purpose. It was
proved by the evidence of Dr Morrie that the murder was
committed by some such weapon as the hatchet or chopper
produced, and Mrs Wade proved that the prisoner had that
hatchet under his care until the period and oven after the
murder was committed. The murder was no doubt com-
mitted on Thutsday, the 3d inst., and the medical evidence
tended to show that the head was severed front the body a
considerable time after death. The evidence of Dr Letheby
showed that blood was found on this particular hatchet, and
also on the clothing worn by the prisoner. The jury would
therefore have to take all these facts into their serious con-
sideration, in order to decide whether the evidence brought
forward so implicated the prisoner, and connected him with
the commission of this fearful deed, that in their judgment
it was right and proper to send him before another and a
higher tribunal, where the prisoner would be afforded every
opportunity of proving his innocence. It was not the pro-
vince of the coroner's court to try the man who stood before
them, but to determine whether the evidence pointed to the
conclusion of his guilt, and if they thought so they would
affirm it by their verdict.
The Jury then retired, and after an absence of about five
minutes returned into court, when the Foreman said " We
are unanimous in our verdict, and we find the prisoner,
Ferdinand Edward Karl Kohl, guilty of the wilful murder
of Theodor Christian Fuhrhop."
The prisoner heard the verdict perfectly unmoved, and
still preserved an appearance of stolid indifference.
The Coroner then made out his warrant for the trial
of the prisoner on the charge at the next Old Bailey ses-
sions,

it must have been done by a hatchet, or some such weapon
as that produced. After receiving such a wound a man
could not live many seconds. The other wourds might
have been done after death had taken place. He had ex-
amined the chopper or hatchet produced, and believed that
the blow was made with just such a weapon. His opinion
was that the head was not severed from the body until some
time after the latter was cold. It might have been removed
by such a knife as that produced with the aid of a hatchet.
He did not think that the instruments used for the sever-
ance of the head from the body were very sharp. The bone
was cut entirely through, and that could not have been done
with the knife produced without the aid of a stronger in-
strument.

Inspector Samuel Nightingale, of the R division. said he
accompanied Superintendent Howie to the house of the pri-
soner on the afternoon of the Bth inst. lie procured a cab
and took the prisoner and his wife to the shed of the Graving
Dock Tavern, where the body was lying, The wife of the
prisoner identified the body as being that of the missing man
John. The witness then repeated his previous evidence as
to the apprehension of the prisoner.

Other witnesses who had been previously examined were
hen questioned by the Coroner and jury, and adhered to
heir former statements.

The prisoner throughout the whole of the proceedings
appeared to exhibit the utmost indifference, and more than
once laughed when the witnesses were giving evidence.
Abut one o'clock the coroner and jury adjourned for half
an hour, and during that interval the prisoner observed to a
police constable present, " They are a long time over it.
When are they going to hear my witnesses ?"
This being the whole of the evidence,
The learned Coroner proceeded to present the case to the
jury. He observed he need scarcely allude to the fact that
this was a most important investigation, which demanded at
the hands of the jury the most careful consideration. It
would be the duty of the jury to decide what was the cause
of death, and having done so, to say how that cause arose.
If they adopted his view of the case they would say that the
immediate cause of death was the tremendous blow which
the unhappy man received on the back of his head. But the
further and very important question then arose—by whom
was that blow inflicted P The evidence tending to elucidate
this matter, although of an important nature, had been pre-
sented in a somewhat disjointed manner, and he would very
briefly recapitulate some of those points which ho thought
worthy of special attention. It appeared that a few weeks
since the murdered man arrived in this country from Ger-
many. In the first instance he took lodgings at the house of
Mrs Warren, where ho remained about a fortnight. At that
time his wardrobe appeared to be as well furnished as could
have been expected from a man in his condition of life. He
left the house of Mrs 'Warren and went to reside at the house
of the prisoner. That was on Monday, the 10th October,
and it was worthy of remark that the pawning of the clothes
of deceased commenced almost immediately afterwards.
Why this should be so he (the coroner) could not conceive,
inasmuch as Mrs Warren proved that the deceased, when he

ing, and they wore seen together near the reed-bed in the

marshes at 10 o'clock. The evidence on the latter point
was conclusive, and there was no hitch, as was sometimes

The betting varied elnsidtrably, Telscombe and Staya
being alternately favourites, but at the close it stood G to 4
agst Telscorabe, 7 to 4 agst Stays, 4 to 1 agst Vision, 5 to 1
agst Queen of Clubs.

Vision slipped her three opponents at the start, and at a
good pace took a comm-,nding, lead, but before, reaching the
second hurdles Stays headed her, snd both missed jul,ping
the obstacles, which were subsequently cleared by Tees-
comb:: and Queen of Clubs. Ascending the Lill Vision
went on with a strong lead and jumped all the succeeding
hurdles, but bolting at the turn into the straight gave way
to Queen of Clubs end Telscembe. The stable boy, how-
ever, soon righted Vision, who challenged the pair up the
straight, and aster an exciting race with Q-;e.n.of Cubs,
beat her a head, but as oijection, on the ground of Laving
gone the wrong course, was r ustained, and the race
awarded to Queen of Clubs; Telscombe finished, three parts
of a length behind Vision.

Hall Court was first off, but fell at the first fence, and be-
came last, when Cotswold took up the running and carried
it on with a clear lead over the lane, closely followed by
Discrepancy, Early Bird lying third, Alice fourth, and.
Othello fifth. Cock Robin went to the front over the cross
fence and led to the fence preceding the water jump, where
he refused, and left Cotswold closely waited upon by Dis-
crepancy. The artificial brook in front of the stand was
first taken by Cotswold, with Discrepancy at his girths,
Alcibiades lying third, Othello fourth, Early Bird fifth, and
Cock Robin sixth, and more than a hundred yards from
the leader, Hall Court brought up the rear. At the top of
the hill, after passing the stand, Cotswold refused, where-
upon Cock Robin took up the running, Early Bird,Othellos
Discrepancy, and Alcibiades in the order named, being in
close attendance; Lut upon approaching the artificial brook
for the second time Early Bird took the lea', and was first
over, Alcibiades being at his girths, with Cock Robin
next, Othello fourth, and Discrepancy fifth, several
lengths behind, Hall Court, still a long way in the
rear being last. Ascending the hill Cock min (who
had taken the lead after clearing the water jump)
increased his advantage upon going up the hill, Othello
being second. Reappearing in sight these two closed to-
gether, drew away from the others, but upon reaching the
lane they were joined by Early Bird and Alcibiades, and
half a mile from home Hall Court rapidly closed upon this
quArtette. Early Bird obtained a slight lead immediately
after passing the half-mile post, but at the last hurdle Cock
Robin closed with him, the two jumping the fence together,
with Hall Court immediately in the rear. Upon alighting
Cock Robin was beaten, and Hall Court challenged Early
Bird, the pair c9mpletely exbausted:running home gamely,
Early Bird finally winning by three lengths ; Othello a bad
third; and the others beaten off.

The Fourth Manchester Lifeboat.
Yesterday the fourth lifeboat contributed by the eitiz,ns
of Manchester to the National Lifeboat Institution was for-
mally named, and afterwards drawn through the principal
streets of the city. The boat, which, with its carriage, cost
£390, is to be stationed at Bridlington, near Hull. It is to
bear the name of Mr Robert Whitworth, who was mainly
instrumental in collecting the subscriptions that have been
furnished by Manchester to the National Lifeboat Institua
tion necessary for the provision of the four boats. The boat.
receives its name from Mrs R. Whitworth, in the presence
of a large number of persons, in Mr Statham's carriages
yard, Ardwick, in the morning. Mrs Whitworth having
dashed a bottle of wine against the bow of the boat, the
Rev. E. Hewlet, rector of St. Paul's, read the following
address :—" Let the boat henceforth be known by the name
of the Robert Whitworth; and fray she, under blessing of
Almighty God, be the instrument of rescuing many lives
from the perils of the sea." Capt. Robertson, R.N., one of
the inspectors of lifeboats for the institution, said the boat
had been presented to that institution by Mr Whitworth
and gentlemen of Manchester, who had raised money enough
to present it, with three other boats, which had been sent
to different parts of the coast. As long as any lifeboat
station existed at Bridlington—and he supposed that that
would be as long as Great Britain remained a country—
the boat there would always be named Robert Whit-
worth. The boat had been constructed on the self-
righting principle, so that, if it were upset in a heavy sea, it
would readily assume its proper position, and free itself
from any water that might be shipped. One great advan-
tage of the carriage was that upon it the boat could be car-
ried to the edge of the water, and readily launched, with the
crew in their places. The Lifeboat Institution was supported
by voluntary contributions,and all the lifeboats were m alined
by volunteers. They always found men willing enough to
incur the risk of going out in any weather to save their fel-
low-creatures.—The Rev. E, Hewlett returned thanks on
behalf of the committee for the kind wishes of those present
on behalf of the boat; and considering the ship-shape ap-
pearance, cleanliness, and depth of the boat, and that it was
fitted up with all the latest improvements, it would doubt-
less answer their good wishes, and prove the means of
saving valuable lives. Their best thanks were due to the
lady who had so gracefully given the boat its name, and they
knew how mach her husband had done on behalf of their
branch of the Lifeboat Institution. It was not 12 months
andago
in
thatth?n branchaaersaof that waastfotirmmaa,d in
mainly
l y souththranogf Manchester,
Mr w
hit
Whit-
worth's exertions, they had built four boats. Mr Bell
and himself, the secretaries to the branch, had done all
they could, but the chief part of the collecting had been
done by Mr R. Whitworth. He (Mr Hewlett) called for
three cheers for Mr and Mrs Whitworth, which were
heartily given,--Mr Bell said he hoped that the interest
that had been taken in lifeboats in Manchester
daring the last 12 months would be continued. If they
furnished four lifeboats yearly in Manchester, they would
do their share towards protecting the coast, The people of
Manchester should remember the names of their four boats
and show their regard for them by sending a subscription
to the Lifeboat Institution when any of the boats performed
any service. He hoped that before the end of another year
Manchester would have supplied four more stations with
lifeboats. He thanked those present for the interest they
had evinced in the morning's proceedings. Mr Robert
Whitworth returned thanks for the good wishes that had
been expressed, and hoped that the boat might prove equal
to all the expectations that had been formed of her, The
boat she was replacing was 60 years old—it was hoped that
the now boat would last as long as the old one. On behalf
of the committee of the Branch they should tender their best
thanks to Capt. Robertson. (Cheers.) Cheers were also given
for an old sailor in the boat, who had been shipwrecked se-
veral times, and had encountered great perils on the sea.
The boat, which displayed the banner of the institution
and the national ensign, was manned by a crew of several
men, each of whom was provided with a cork lifeboat.
NV hen on service the boat will be manned by a crew com-
prising ten oarsmen, the first and second coxswain, and
boatswain, Six fine horses, which had been lent by
Messrs Carver and Co, were: attached to the carriage,
on which were all the gear and appliances necessary for
launching the boat, and for getting it out of the water
and en the carriage to be in readiness for transportation to
any part of the coast at the shortest notice. The boat was
drawn through the principal thoroughfares, and was re-
garded with much attention by large numbers of persons at
diff,r,,nt points of the route. The band of the Ist M.R.V.
preceded the boat through the streets.

[A DVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.—Worn out suf-
ferers may hope for relief from those purifying and
strengthening pills after physic and physicians have failed
to effect a cure. In all disorders of the stomach, irregula•
rities of the bowels, derangements of the liver, and diseases
of the kidneys, these pills will be found especially useful in
re-instituting order and restoring secretions and system
generally, give purity and regularity to the circulation, tone
and power to the stomach, energy and vividness to the
brain. Holloway's pills can be confidently recommended as
restoratives of constitutions shattered and broken up by
excessive mental labour, intemperance, inordinate in-
dulgence, or other hardships which make the young man
old.
