A great horror has been excited by the foul mur-
der of a National schoolmaster named Fitzhenry,
near his own house within a few miles of New Ross, The
deed is described by the Wexford papers as one of " brutal
and fiendish atrocity," The victim was found on Sunday
morning in a lane quite dead with his skull battered in and
his brains scattered about, surrounded with blood.
MUTILATED BODY OF A YOUTH IN THE REGENT'S
CANAL.—An adjourned inquiry was concluded on
Wednesday by Dr. Lankester, in the board-room of Mary-
leboneWorkhouse,relative to the discovery of the mutilated
dead body of Charles Hewitson, aged 16. It appeared that
the deceased was an errand boy to a tailor and clothier, in
Newcastle-street, Edgware-road, and on last Saturday three
weeks he left his place as usual, without any notice of his
intended absence. He left home on the previous Monday
morning, under his parents' impression that he was going
to work, and at the time he had ls. 6d. in his pocket. He
was not, however, again seen or heard of until his dead
body on the following Saturday was turned up by a steam-
tug in the Regent's Canal, near the mouth of the Maids-
hill Tunnel, and from thence removed to the workhouse.
The father there identified the body, and said his son was
afraid of the water. Mr. W. F. Fuller, the resident sur-
geon, described the body as having several wounds upon it,
with both arms fractured, and a sharp deep cut on the
elbow, There was also a flint stene and some gravel in the
mouth. He had no money upon him. Inquiries were then
set on foot, when it was ascertained that deceased's aasoo
rud i
dates were older than himself, that he was in the ha it
attending theatres two or three times a week, and further it
was believed that he had formed an impent connection
with his master's female servant, who was then on the
street. Several boys were examined, their testimony being
to the effect that deceased had told them he was going to
leave his plat e, and that he carried ajtottle of medicine
secretly about with him. On tho Sunday before he was
missed he said to a boy " I shall not be long with Mr.
Byford (his master), for I intend to put an end to my
He was asked why, when he replied " Nothing particular."
There being no further evidence, the Coroner pointed out to
the jury that there were three points connected with the
case, namely, that death was the result of accident, suicide,
or by the act of some other person, but on neither of which
they had any distinct evidence. Ultimately the jury returned
a verdict—" That the deceased died from suffocation by
drowning, but how he came

Walk in the Streets of Canton.

(FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.)
I have been spending a week at Canton. I went up by an
American s'camer, one of their own peculiar kind, and cer-
tainly for c mfort and speed they beat ours. Canton is
rather more than 80 miles from Hongkong. We ran up in
six hours, leaving at 8 a.m. and breakfasting on board ; but
for all the advantages you have to pay--Xl Ils. 6d. for 80
miles of steamboat travelling I

On the way up there is nothing particular to see, the
country lying low, with the White Cloud Mountains in the
distance. The Europeans live on one side of the river, the
city of Canton being on the other. The next day I crossed
over to the city. The usual mode of conveyance here is in
boats ; you are rowed out to dinner in large boats, which
have a cabin like a small room. I went about the western
suburb. The city itself is almost knocked down, thanks to
our bombardment. It was very tiring work, not a single
street, if that word can be used, being more than eight feet
wide, most of them being about six feet ; and, as there are
supposed to be three millions of people in the place, you can
imagine the walking to be something like the Poultry at
4 p.m. In addition to this thronging, the streets are paved
with granite stones like our curb stones, laid across, not
along the paths, and these are very uneven, and, of course,
with the least wet very slippery. Every minute you meet
chairs carried along, and then you have to bolt into a shop
or mako a pancake of yourself against the wall. You can
easily imagine that all this, combined with tho scarlet and
bright colours of the signboards, makes a walk in Canton
rather fatiguing than otherwise. The city is, however, well
worth seeing. It would be impossible to write down all the
peculiarities of the place, but I will jot down one or two of
the things which struck me most. In nearly every street
you see something connected with gambling, and there are
regular gambling houses where one monotonous game goes
on all day. You know the Chinese "cash," with a hole in
the centre Well, a man has a lot of this polished bright,
and, taking a handful, he counts them off by fours, the
spectators laying their stakes whether, when the last four are
taken away, there will be one, two, three, or none left. This
is the gambling game of China, and goes on all day long.
At the street stalls you see small boys throwing dice, whe•
ther they shall have one, two, or no cakes for their "cash."
You see a wheel with a needle, like a compass, for the same
purpose. Fortunetellers are frequent, some of them having
a mechanical, others a live canary, that hops out and picks
an envelope from a number of others, and that contains
your fortune. Besides these outdoor attractions they have
peepshows and toy stalls similar to those in London, selling
quills to blow in wafer to imitate birds' notes, and such like
small wares. The discipline of the place is, however, very
good; at the end of nearly every street they have barricades
that are closed at sunset, and to each district between these
barriers a man is appointed who is responsible for any row
that may take place, if he can't find the offenders. There
are many curious things to be seen in the shops. In one I
saw glass-blowing, small bottles and large cylinders more
than seven feet high being made. In another, one of
the baker's shops, a narrow building stretching back-
wards for about 10) yards, I counted 40 bullocks, about 12
at a time, engaged in turning the grindstones and grind-
ing the corn. I went into a confectioner's, and found
everything laid out quite in Pursell's style, two or three
rooms, each with cakes and sweetmeats of more or less
value, according to the means of the customer. '1 here were
also lists of prices hanging up against the walls. The pawn-
shcps are something wonderful. They are tall, square,
brick-built towers, higher than any of the ne ghbouring
shops, and quite fire-proof from outside. They are of dif
ferent classes, some lending money for three months, some
for eight months, and ethers for three years. I went over
one, and the arrangement of the articles was very curious,
every separate article being carefully done up in paper and
labelled. I went over several temples, one containing 500
images of mandarins, each with a different expression of
countenance. I also saw the ponds of carp and gold fish. I
looked in at the exe.ution hall, and saw some of the police-
station cells, with the prisoners having the square blocks of
wood round their necks, and others in fetters. 1 also saw
the painting of the China vases, the process of dying silks,
&c.—in fact, I completely " did " Canton, and it is well
worth spending some time there.

Suspected Death from Violence at Sandi,

worth,

An inquest was opened at the Oakfields Tavern,
Booth-street, Handsworth, on Tuesday, before Mr.
Hooper, coroner, on the body of a child nine years
of age, named James Monk, the son of a gardener
named George Monk, of Booth-street, Handsworth.
The following evidence was given by the father of
the deceased :—The deceased was nine years of age.
He was in the enjoyment of good health until the
latter end of March last, when he became very dull,
and had no inclination to move about. On a Sunday
morning in the middle of April I noticed that he
had marks—more than six, of a dark colour and
green—across his shoulders and the upper part of
his back and left arm. I inquired the cause, but he
seemed to be afraid to tell me. I then inquired of
his brother John, who was also reluctant to tell me,
but he afterwards said that Mr. Crockford, the
master of St. James's School, Handsworth (which
school the deceased attended, had beaten the deceased
with a strap, and had knocked him down. De-
ceased still got duller, but 1 apprehended no danger
till the 27th of April last, when his appetite left
him, and he became sick. He had a fit, which lasted
four hours and a half. I sent for Mr. Hopkins,
surgeon, who attended, and ordered blisters to be
applied to various parts of the body. The deceased
was a little better on the following day, and was
conscious on the two or three following days, but he
seemed to be unwilling to leave his bed. On the
Friday he was not so well, and at about twelve at
night he commenced rolling his head about the
pillow. On the next morning I brought Mr. Hop-
kins, who saw that the brain was affected, and
ordered ice, which was regularly applied for a week.
The deceased was not quite conscious at any time
from the 2d of May till he died. Mr. Hopkins in-
quired whether my son had received any violence
or had been hurt. John William then told me that
he had seen Mr. Crockford knock the deceased down
three times, but be could not remember the
date. He said that Mr. Crockford struck the de-
ceased over and over again, and repeated each blow
before the deceased could recover from the last.
I told Mr. Hopkins this, and he said such violence
might have caused the illness of the deceased. The
deceased had everything Mr. Hopkins ordered him.
He had a water bed. About three days before he
died an ulcer appeared on his left shoulder—the
shoulder upon which I had previously seen the dark
and green marks. Mr. Hopkins said the system
must be kept up by stimulants till the blood effused
on the brain should be again absorbed into the
system. About eight days before the deceased died
an eruption broke out upon his body. I asked Mr.
Hopkins what it was, and he said it was caused by
sympathy between the brain and the stomach. The
deceased died on Friday last, the 15th inst. I ap-
plied to Mr. Hopkins for a certificate of burial, but
he said he could not give it, as there were rumours
afloat upon the subject of the death of the deceased.
He said he could certify that deceased died from
effusion of blood on the brain, brought on by slow
fever, but there were circumstarces connected with
the case which required investigation. After I had
pressed him to give me the certificate, he said,
" there might have been fever of the brain." I then
gave information to the police. I am of opinion
that the schoolmaster's treatment had something to
do with the death of the deceased. None of my
family have been subject to fits. As soon as I heardand
my son had been beaten I removed my

;RICA,

(From the Times' Correspondent,)

NEW YORK, May 5,
Mr. Chase, before whose mind's eye the Fresi-
elency in 1864 looms large and beautiful—.a vision
of beatitude the realization of which will consign
Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Seward, General Halleck, Mr.
Stanton, General M'Clellen, and various others to
private life for evermore—has been making a tri-
umphal tourney in New England, sowing, as it
were, the seeds of the future laurels that are to be
gathered in due course to twine round his Presidential
brow. On Saturday last, while the first great battle
of Chancellorsville was yet raging in all its fury, he
made a speech to the "solid men of Boston," at the
Merchants' Exchange News-room, and expressed to
them hit firm belief that the war was fast approach-
ing its termination. Can Mr. Chase believe this ?
De the men of Boston believe it ? Does anybody
believe it ? Or was he really of opinion that General
Hooker would annihilate the army of General
Lee and march triumphantly and unimpeded into
rehmond ? If so, the events of that awful Satur-
day on which he delivered his cheerful little speech,
followed by those of the equally awful Sunday
Which left the tremendous struggle undecided, must
before this have caused him to set limits to the
exuberance of his imagination, if they had not
forced him to speculate on the results that might
ensue if General Hooker were signally defeated,
and Washington left open to the advance of the
Confederates—contingencies which are present to
many minds, eaed which in this city this afternoon
were actually reported to have occurred, and found
thousands of believers.
But, notwithstanding the absorbing interest of
this great struggle—which few are sanguine enough
to believe will end in the infliction of such a defeat
on the Confederates as will bring the war a whit
nearer to its coeclusion—the extracts from the
Louden journals, which make known for the first
time the increasing irritation in England on the
subject of Federal interference with legitimate
British trade, are earnestly studied and commented
upon. The prevalent feeling is one of suprise that
as much spirit should be exhibited by the Old Coun-
try. People here have so long been in the habit of
thinking that Great Britain would endure almost
any amount of contumely and wrong at the hands
of the United States, rather than have recourse to
the perilous alternative of war, that the Americans,
both official and non-official, have come to look upon
England as the recognised butt of American ill-
nature, and as the only strong Power in Europe
which could be bullied and injured with impunity.
They would rejoice to go on provoking England for
ever, provided England would only express annoy-
ance or resentment in words, but now that there
seems to be a prospect that England will vindicate
the honour of her flag, and protect her legitimate
trade at any cost, even at the cost of a war with the
United States in the crisis of their national peril,
wonder at the unexpected pluck of the British has
given place to alarm—ill-concealed under a plethora
of big words and unmeaning menaces. The indis-
cretion of Mr. Adams in granting what was equiva-
lent to a free pass, a certificate of safety to a British
vessel, with an American cargo, bound from neutral
England to neutral Mexico,is universally condemned,
and if the recall of that Minister would administer
a salve to the wounded pride of John Bull, he would
not only be recalled, but snubbed, in a long-winded
epistle from Mr. Seward. The symptoms are that
the Government and the commercial classes of the
United States do not desire a war with England,
net they will yield almost anything rather than
incur it, and that nothing is so well calculated to
keep the sentimental hostility of both within safe
bounds as a steady determination on the part of
the British Government to " stand no nonsense."
Were it possible to re-unite the North and South,
and induce them to live amicably together for the
future, a war with Great Britain to cement their
new affection by the bonds of a common enterprise
and a common danger would be exceedingly popu-
lar in this country. Democrats and republicans,
slave-owners and Abolitionists, the platform and
the pulpit would alike accept it as a natural and a
pleasant necessity; but, under existing circum-
stances, the luxury, as an Abolitionist paper admits,
would be too expensive, as well as too inconvenien
to indulge in.

The Hawkins Zouaves, one of the veteran regi-
ments of the war, returned to New York thismorn-
ing from the camp at Suffolk, and matched up
Broadway, its colours flying, its drums beating, fully
armed and equipped, amid the deafening cheers of
a multitude that crowded the side walks, and filled
every window and balcony commanding a view of
the procession. This is the regiment the lieutenant-

colonel of which (Kimball) was ruthlessly slain by
General Corcoran, under circumstances that had
never been investigated—for the cowardly reason
that the Irish stratum of American society might
have made an unpleasant upheaval if so favourite
an Irishman had been brought to trial. Had the re-
giment being going to battle, instead of returning
from it disgusted—its time up, and filled with the
inflexible determination to fight no more, either for
patriotism, for glory, or for greenbacks—the warm
applause of the spectators might have been more en-
couraging to those who still believe in the vigorous
prosecution of the war. In this case gratitude was
not a keen appreciation of favours to come, but a
simple acknowledgment of favours past. Doubtless
there were many in the crowd who, amid the occa-
sional pauses in the storm of cheers, found leisure
to reflect that these fine hardy fellows, trained to
the hardships of battle, would have been far better
employed in this day of danger, in swelling the
ranks of General Hooker than in making a holiday
procession up Broaiway. "Howevir, the men are
riot to be blamed. They had made a bargain with
the Government and had honourably fulfilled their
portion of it, perilling life and health is the public
service for the time agreed, but not Wishing to peril
either any longer under such a General as Corcoran,
or perhaps under any other. The fact remains, how.
ever, that the Government can ill spare such men
as these, and that it takes no present measures to
supply their places.

Gen. Burnside, a weak man, who has periodical
attacks of spasmodic vigour, having failed to acquire
the distinctio❑ he coveted in the legitimate field of

military operations, appears to snatch notoriety by
servile imitation of the high-handed imperialism of
Gen. Butler and Gen. Schenck. I❑ general order
N 0.38, dated at Cincinnati, where he now corn-

znands, he declared it to be his intention to banish
to the South all persons who would express or show
sympathy with the rebellion, and in pursuance of
his declared will, has forcibly removed from Cin-
annmi,where she had for some time resided, Mrs.

raineZ'ohritAizlabams, together with a considerable

seizure, in his own
house, by a company
railway for the purpose, of 'Vale" sent 60 miles by
on. C. L. Vallan-
digham, late member of Con,YeTrellhsi;
.and candidate
for the Governorship of Ohio.
Is flying at high
game, and in the present temper of the Western
people is exceedingly dangerous. The charge agains
Mr. Vallandigham is his public disapproval t
General Buraside's order No. 38 before
anauieneci
e
of 20,000 persons, and his sympathy with the
South. Mr. Vallandigham has been transferred
to prison in Cincinnati, preparatory, the reports
allege, to being sent under military escort to the
South. It remains to be seen whether the Govern-

went will support General Burnside in this daring
outrage. General Hascall, a subordinate of General
Burnsicil, who rules in Indiana, is following in the
same course, doubtless in obedience to instructions.
A Mr. C. W. Morrison, of Terre Haute, who pub-
licly expressed his admiration for Mr. Jefferson
Davis, was arrested the next day, and ordered to
be transported to the South within 24 hours. Dr.
Dorsey, represented as a "prominent Democrat,"
of Indianapolis, was not only' arrested, hut led
through the streets h;:ndeuffed, for exhibiting in a
manner displeasing to the general his sympathy for
the South; and a certain Capt. Hicks, whose only
known offence was that letters from Dr. Dorsey

were found in his possession, was subjected- to the
same penalty. So many arrests of "Knights of the
Golden Circle" and others have been made in ILA-
noIN, which forms a portion of General Burnside's

military district, that the whole country is in com-
motion. " Such is the terror," says the Tribune
correspondent, "among the peop!e in remote parts
of this county (Anna) that many insignificant per-
! sons are in constant fear of arrest. lin .y add as a
remarkable fact that during thf se passing nights
women and children go into the woods to sleep. All
business is suspended, for those who have not been
arrested have run away. Even one member of the
State Senate, Mr. J. H. Smith, has departed."
Surely such vigour as this is a little too vigorous
for the loyal State that has been kind enough to
furnish the Union with its existing President, and
somewhat too much at variance with the principles
of Democratic liberty, on which the Republic is
supposed to be based, to meet with the approba-
tion of that still considerable number of Americans
who are honestly of opinion that liberty is a tre-
sure hard to win, and well worth the keeping.
The jaded appetite of the public of this city that
elishes no longer the stale oratory of the old hacks
of the war party appears to find its chief enjoyment
at present in the pythonic ravings of Miss Anna
Dickinson, the Yankee spiritualist, who has sud-
denly become as popular as General Butler. Tne
principle that attracts a vulgar crowd to witness
any foolhardy or perilous act, such as that of a man
putting his head into the lion's mouth, or Blondin
cooking his dinner on the tight-rope, is the same
that attracts an equally vulgar mob to listen to a
clergyman inculcating hate, preaching blasphemy,
or retailing comic anecdotes from the pulpit; or to
a woman in the rostrum approaching to within a
hair's breadth of indecency, yet not actually reach-
ing it. Specimens cf the " War Democrat," the
" War Republican," the " -War Christian" (as if
such a person were possible !) and all the other male
varieties of furious spouters and declaimers who
preach bloodshed and extermination having been
paraded before the public until they ceased to mini-
ster to the crazy excitement of the day, it became
necessary that the " wire pullers" of the war should
discover some new attraction sufficiently violent and
"spicy" to please the populace of well-dressed per
sons whose principles are flattered, or whose pockets
are replenished, by the protraction of hostilities. It
was found in due time in the shape of Miss Dickin-
son, a blooming Philadelphian, who rendered her-
self famous in Connecticut as a stump speaker dur-
ing the progress of the recent elections in that State.
The political Barnums saw in her a person exactly
suited to their mind, and by dint of a little judicious
preliminary puffery, such as all tiarnuras know how
to employ, they managed to excite the curiosity of
New York. And, as New York, like all great cities,
loves a new sensation, even if it be a vicious
one, she has proved a great success. On her
second appearance, on Saturday evening last, the
Cooper Institute was found to be too small to con-
tain the immense crowds—at 50c. each person—
that applied for admission. The subject of her
oration was announced to be " The Three Methods
of Peace;" and, as it was tolerably well known,
from her previous display a fortnight ago, that
peace after the fashion of Butler was the peace to
her mind, hundreds of persons who have no sympa-
thy with her sentiments thronged to the platform,
as they would have thronged to see Blondin,
if he had been announced to dance on the tightrope
with a donkey on his back. In additiou to these
were the ordinary crowd, who approved the preacher
for the sake of her text. Her three methods of
peace were—" Compromise," " Separation," and
,4 Extermination." Amid the most enthusiastic ap-
plause of her audience, of whom fully one half were
women, she declared that Compromise and Separa-
tion were alike irepossible ; and that Extermina-
tion, being the only course left, was the bounden
duty of the Government and people of the North—
" extermination to the bitter end,"—meaning even
to the slaughtering of her own sex and of little
children, if they happened to be slaveowners or the
babes of slaveowners. The sentiment, fiendish in
the mouth of Gen. Butler, was ineffably horrible

from the mouth of a woman ; but was, nevertheless,
more vehemently applauded than if it had been the
quintessence of wisdom and of wit—the summing
up of all human justice and mercy. A. few of the
flowers from the Dickinsonian garden of rhetoric may
be worth culling for scientific study in Europe—not
for their fragrance or their beauty, but simply for
their value as specimens of the fecundity of growth on

the volcanic soil of war and revolution, if not as
marks of the moral decadence of the American people.
She declared that on the mountain tops of the great

North-West the curse of human bondage could not
live, because those mountain tops were so near to
God and Heaven—nearer, in her estimation, it is to
be supposed, than the plains and prairies of the same
region where, though the people will not enslave a
negro, they will not suffer him to live. She de-

nounced Mr. Seward as a traitor and a "sly fox;"
every Northern man with Southern principles as
the " meanest thing on God's earth ;" the State of
New Jersey, of which the Legislature has recently
passed a sensible and creditable series of resolutions

in favour of peace, as "little, mean, contemptible
New Jersey, made out of leavings, offscourings, and

... _
fragments, after the Union was formed." Mr.
Buchanan, the late President, was she said " a man
whose spiritual nature was well represented by his
figure—one-sided and leaning to the South" (Mr.
Buchanan's head leans slightly on his shoulder).
She described the Copperheads as " liars and cow-

ards, who had not bravery enough to fight any-
where;" and Gen. M'Clellan "as a thing too small
for criticism, a man who was neither an cfficer nor
a soldier,' and " a mean creature of the Democratic
party." She also denounced Mr. Seward and Gen.

Ila Heck as "men who had D& flied and thwarted

every plan formed by the Administration, and who
had crushed every General who had accomplished

anything." None of these were her heroes. Her
men were Butler, Fremont, and Sigel—men of

principle, exterminators each of them, acd Butler,

above all, " the only man who had the courage to
hang a traitor for an insult to the fLg." Denying
that the war was f endish, as a Boston Democratic
journal had asserted, she indignantly exclaimed—
" Fiendish does the Boston Courier call it ? Does
it think that God is dead? and that He has not re•
membered the sufferings of the slave ?—that he
has not bottled up every tear shed in helpless•
ness, mourning,and darkness throughout the South?
That He has not made Abraham Lincoln His agent
to work out His plans, and that in opposing him the
Southern people are striking their puny fists in the
face of the Almighty ?'' The New York World as-
serts that the public appearances of Miss Dickinson
" are a melancholy symptom of the degeneracy of
political inteilig,nce in America." Might it not
have added that they are equally melancholy as
symptoms of a widespread moral perversion and
social rottenness ? If Miss Dickinson would but
scrape lint, boil gruel, or bandage the wounds of a
single soldier, she might earn the praise of every-
body who knew her humb'e but honourable name.
As it is, she earns the unenviable notoriety of pub-
licly unsexing herselft and se

There is, however, an avenging Nemesis for women
of this kind. Men go to listen to them for the sake
,
d
of a new excitement, just as they won," go to the
theatre, but, however much they may be amused at
what they hear, and however exciting the rattle of
the glib tongue may be, they are never so fascinated
by the charms of the fair performer as to offer mar-
riage. Old spinstership is their inevitable doom,
and if Miss Dickinson escape it, there will be one
truly brave man in America, whether he be a I
Copperhead or a Republican.
