weavers, strike, at H y wood, in 1844 5. the operatives of
ttie d!srrict had to subscrtbe Dearly 5001, which, with the
loss or 150 oQrsons' wages for 10 weeks, at 78. each, will
make the above sum into 1,120/ ; this sum, added to the
1088 sustained through all the mills stopping in conse-
quence of the.r,rike, may be put down at 2,0004 The
'money subscribed to support Messrs. Jones's weavers, of

have cost the operatives more than 2,0001. To support
the Pendleton strike the operatives had to subscribe be-
ta een 7,0001. and B,oobl, which, with the loss of wages
dating the strike, will not be far short of 20,000/, as the
money lost to the operatives in that contest. Total cost
of the above strikes, 39,736/. During the last few years
the weavers within a circle of ten miles around Man-
chester have lost—yes, worse than lost-40,0004—'1(4n-

LOLA MONTES JN BOSTON.
Yesterday the Countess of Landafeldt, by invitation,
visited the Grand Lodge rooms of the Freemasons at
the Masonic Temple. She also visited the Boston
Atheneum, at which place she was presented to many of
our first citizens. Today she will visit the prominent
public schools, by invitation of the principals. Before
her departure from the city, she will likewise visit the
institutionspaubglriectstdesireto
et South Boston, as she has expressed
see these model institutions. At-
tentions crowd upon her.—Boston Bee, March 25.
The largest and most respectable audience ever as-
sembled within the walls of the Howard, attended last
evening on the occasion of the benefit of Lola Montes.
Every part of the house was densely packed. A very
striking and commendable feature was the presence of a
large number of ladies, who seem at last to have
awakened to the necessity of beholding this famed den-
seuse. Her career henceforth in the East is settled, for
having overcome
the sensitiveness of the fairer portion
of the inhabitants of this " City of the Puritans," as it
is sometimes called, nothing further remains to complete
her triumph. The audience was very enthusiastic. The
new ballet of Betty was received in the most flattering
manner. It is produced in the grandest style and ex-
hibits the ertistie powers of the Countess in a highly
favourable and gratifying manner. At the conclusion
of the performance she was called before the curtain,
she advanced to the footlights, and in a voice some-
what subdued by emotion, delivered the following brief
address:—
and vociferously
cheered. When the applause subsided

.. Ladies
and
Gentlemen—l beg of you to receive my
most sincere and grateful thanks for the generous re-
ception I have
met with in your beautiful city of
Boston—the cradle of Liberty—the Athens of America.
—(Cheers.) may I hope ever to merit your kind pa-
tronage. Once more, from my heart, I thank you all.
Ladies and gentlemen—good night."
She then gracefully
kissed her band to the audience,
and retired amidst great cheering. About midnight
Lola was serenaded by a splendid band of music. The
compliment was handsomely received by the generous
and beautiful Countess.—Boston Times, March 20.

me p.carotyi-,
at that time a citizen of Cedar C Junty, left for California,
fully imbued with the fever of the times—thirst for
gold. He left a wife and five children behind him
to await the result of his desperate adventure
and problematical return. His wife, with her children,
after he left,
sought the protection of her father, Mr.
Benjamin Ny
e, an old and worthy citizen, living at
the mouth of the Pine river, in this county. After he
reached the land of gold Mr. M'Coy wrote frequently
to his wife, and forwarded her considerable
.8111113
of money—the letters and money passing through
the hands of one in whom Mr. M'Coy had every
confidence as a man of honour and a friend. But
hhioswhohneoeurrr,ehd,isahnodphes7
and the fair name of his deeply he was betrayed, and
chil-
dren blasted, has become a familiar tale here, where
these events occurred. The wife forgot her vow,
and in a moment of passion sacrificed her children,
her husband, and herself irredeemably for this
world in the embraces of the false and
traitorous friend of the absent. husband. On his
return from California, having been successful in the
the husband. and father was met
quest of wealth, and his bosom. swelling with fond
thoughts of' those he left behind him, whom he was
now to meet again,
met his wife,
bbyowtehvisert,aalendofft mdnlighelrnafarmmys.theHferuits of her guilt
—but not all the fruits—they have multiplied in bit-
terness and increased in anguish, until this last sad
and bloody fray has resulted, and even yet the harvest
of sorrow is not ended. The scene between the
heartbroken husband, the shame-covered wife, and
group of trembling, tearful, and wondering children,
has been touchingly described to us by an eye-wit-
ness. Mr. M'Coy, his mind soured by suspicion and
the stern realities of his situation, selected from
among the little group of five one whom he rejected,
declaring it was no child of his—that, like the one
at the breast, it was the child of crime. After
this scene Mr. M'Coy removed his children (four)
from their mother a short time ; but subsequently
consented that they should remain with her at her
father's until he left for California in April next. This
was about two months ago. On Wedesnay last Mr.
M'Coy came from Cedar County for his children. He
stopped at Mr. Chambers's and requested permission
to bring them there that night, which was granted.
He then went to Mr. Nye's in a waggon, got the
four children he claimed, and started on his return to
Mr. Chambers. What occurred at Mr. Nye'es we are
not advised. On approaching Mr. Chambers's, as he
returned, accompanied by his children and a Mr.
Long, he was overtaken by Mr. Nye, his father in--
law, and Mr. Patterson, also a son-in-law to Mr. Nye.
They drove in advance of Mr. M'Coy, so as to inter-
cept his waggon. Mr. Nye got down and approached
the waggon containing M'Coy and company, making,
as he did so, some remark which the witnesses did not
hear, except that it related to the children. M'Coy
stood up in the waggon and warned Nye not to approach.
Nye continued to advance, however, and M'Coy
drew a revolving pistol, and repeated the warning.
Nye still advanced, and attempted to, perhaps did, get
hold of one of the children, when M'Coy fired. The
ball took t ffect in the right shoulder, making a slight
wound. Nye. then stooped for a club, and M'Coy shot
the second time, the ball striking in the back, but only
penetrating the clothing. Nye then advanced with
his club, and M'Coy shot a third and fourth
time, with but little effect. He was knocked or
pushed from the rear of the waggon, and in recover-
ing his feet dropped his pistol. Mr. Patterson then
laid hold of M'Coy behind, as if to hold him, and Nye
came at M'Coy with his club again, saying to Patter-
son " Kill him." M'Coy, releasing himself, threw the
latter in front of him, when Nye's blow took effect on
Patterson, breaking his collar-bone. M'Coy had
drawn a bowie knife, and, on Nye again advancing,
sprang on him, and, avoiding his club, stabbed
him in the breast. Nye still attempting to strike, he
stabbed him a second time and a third. The third
stab was to the heart, and Mr. Nye fell dead at his
feet. There were several witnesses to the whole
affray, but so soon was it over that no effectual inter-
position could be made. M'Coy gave himself up, and
is now awaiting his examination, which will take
place as soon as Patterson is sufficiently recovered to
appear on the witness-stand. The body of Mr. Nye
was interred yesterday.—Dubuque, lowa, Herald,
March 11.

KOSSUTH IN AMERICA.—The apathy manifested
towards Kossuth in the south is not only disappearing, but a
strong current in his favour is setting in, in Alabama and
elsewhere. At Mobile the non-intervention policy is dis-
claimed, and his arrival at several cities in the north is post-
efort7theSUb4teamo
poned in consequence. Should the south and north coalesce,
the friends of the diplomatic circles in Washington, v, ho
have led the party against him, will have cause to regret
their fool.hardiness.—Morning Advertiser.
