Terrible Disaster on Lake Erie.

The London Prototype of the 12th August states that on
the previous Wednesday the propeller Racine, one of the
Western Transportation Company's line of lake steamers,
was burned to the water's edge, about 30 miles south of
Port Stanley. Twenty-seven persons were all that escaped
alive out of 40, the number of crew and passengers on board
at the time of the sad occurrence. Racine was at the time of
the disaster bound for Buffalo, with a full cargo of corn, oats,
and high wines, and a few passengers, besides a fall crew.
At 2.45 on the morning named, the lookout observed a
bright flame burst out about midships. All hands were called
on deck, the vessel turned to land, and the pumps quickly
manned ; but, despite the efforts of both crew and passen•
gers, who worked with a determination inspired by the
desperate nature of their position, the fire gained rapidly,
and all hopes of staying its ravages wore quickly dispelled
by the fearful alacrity with which it communicated from
one point to the other of the doomed vessel. The lifeboats
were ordered to be lowered, and an attempt made to reach
the shore. The first of these, under command of the second
mate, Mr, J. Monaghan, and occupied by 5 deck hands and
4 passengers—names unknown—was placed in a position to
be lowered, but, unfortunately, one of the ropes was
cut before the other, and the occupants pitched into
the water. The speed at which the vessel was going pre-
vented any effort being made to rescue them, before the
screw prcpelling the vessel had engulfed crew, boat, and
all in the vortex caused by its revolutions. One of the
poor fellows was afterwards seen in the water, cut
completely in two, but none of the:others were visible.
The captain, thinking that land could be made befors they
would be compelled to leave, still stood to his vessel, with
the remainder of the crew and passengers, although their
position was growing every moment more critical. A
number of barrels of high wines which were on deck were
thrown overboard, but some of them were broken in the
effort, and their contents becoming strewn along the deck,
served as fuel to the flame. This reduced the draught of
the vessel from 12ft to Oft 3in, however, and gave now
cause for hope to the almost despairing crew. At this
rime the :ng Avon, of Montreal, observing the condition
of the Racine, made towards her, and fortunately arrived
in time to save 27 of the crew wad passengers.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—RoIIo Nay's Pills,—Good Diges-
tion.—Holloway'la pills are universally acknowledged to be
the safest, speediest, and best corrective for indigestion.
Loss of appetite, acidity, flatulency, and nausea are a few of
the inconveniences which are remedied with ease by these
purifying pills. They strike at the root of all abdominal
ailments, they excite in the stomach a proper secretion of
gastric juice, and regulate the action of the liver, promoting
in that organ a copious supply of pure wholesome bile so
necessary for digestion. These pills remove all distention
and obstruction, and from their harmless composition are
peculiarly well adapted for delicate persons and young
children ; whilst oasting out impurities, these excellent
pills strengthen the system and give muscular tone.

Disturbances in Syria.

(REUTER'S EXPRESS.)

CONS,TANTINOPLE, AUGUST 24,

Disturbances have again broken out in the dis.
trict of Payaz, in Syria. Made Bey, son of the
caimacam of the district, Mustik Pasha, who was
recently arrested by order of the Government, has
declared himself in armed revolt. His followers
consist of some two thousand mountaineers, well
armed and mounted. Their refuge is in au almost
inaccessible spot in a gulf on the seat at stout four
hours' distance from the commercial port of Alex-
andretta, and has been rendered notorious as the
scene of the assassination of Mr. Cellin, the American
missionary. This rebellious lair commands the roads
from Marasch to Alexandretta (Scandaroon), and
from Adana to Aleppo. These routes are now quite
unsafe, and the commerce from the interior, which
comes down to the sea at Alexandretta, the port of
Aleppo is vexatiously impeded. Mr. Skene, the
British Consul• General at Aleppo, travelling
the :other day from Aleppo to Alexandretta,
to embark there on his leave of absence had two
valuable horses stolen from his escort, although
protected by a strong force. These brigands are
not wanting in boldness. Even the town of Alex-
andretta itself, where there is probably never less
than 4,000 bales of merchandise waiting for ship.
ment or conveyance into the interior, is not free
from their marauding incursions, A band of thirty
horsemen appeared in the town last week and
attacked the premises of M. Derivaux, the local
agent of the Russian Steam Navigation Company,
but as M. Derivaux rapidly collected his people, and
the other European residents hurried to the rescue,
the assailing party were driven off. Since then
Sureya Pasha, the governor of Aleppo, has, so to
speak, garrisoned the town with fifty soldiers.

A FORTUNATE ESCAPE.—On Tuesday evening
the lookout man at Bilston Lighthouse observed through
his glass four boys standing about a bank in the channel
of the Mersey, numbered 23. They would have inevitably
been swallowed up by the advancing tide, but a lifeboat
was sent as soon as possible to their assistance, and they
were rescued. Their delight may be imagined, as the
dreariest of terrors had previously absorbed them.

LONDON, TUESDAY, OUT. 18, 1864.

Mr Du CANE'S remarks at the Conservative
Agricultural Club at Castle Hediugham were very
effective, and it is not to be wondered at that he
was warmly applau led. The first point which he
touched upon was the malt tax, and he very truly
observ:d that justice had not been rendered in
this respect to the firmer, and that they had not
seen the fulfilment of the promises held out at
the time of the repeal of the corn laws that the
Eirriwrs should be freed from this burden. This
ij often the case, people get excited at the pro-
suect of change, and are too apt to declare all
things practicable, but they very soon find it
canvenient to forget the illusory expectations that
they were so ready to raise ; at all events, the
time must be, drawing near now when this subject
must be dealt with, and although, as Mr Du CANE
remarked, it is far past the eleventh hour justice
may be rendered. He truly said, also, that they
would not arrive at their desideratum, the abeli3
ti.n of the malt task, without plenty of hard
.170rk, they must show that they were really in
t"`"s*, Such is generally found to be the case
10 most attempts of the kind ; it is very uphill
work, %Intl too much exertion cannot be need to
arrive at a satiefaetory result. Looking at the
general aspect of aff,in Mr 1) - CANE said that her
MAJESTY'S Government might say of themselves
during last session pretty much what Lord l`T
ELSON
had remarked of himself, that nearly all diseases had
attacked him, but that he had not strength for any to
fasten up3n him. S 3 of Ministers he would
say
that they lud been attacked last year by ~,p„n
foes" and "candid friends." The weakness of
Administration was certainly shown up
in this de..
scription. " Government support given to the

request to that effect being made, the Danish Nli•

that she should not be removed from England dur-

that river to German ships. Her appe3r ince in the
Sound, coupled with the presence of English visi-
tors, suggested a few remarks to the following
effect, albeit they proceeded from the Swedish side
of the Channel. " That is the vessel you would not
let us have when she could have done so much
good." Oue of the party set himself to explain
that England in her neutral attitude could not act
otherwise than she had done, without gross viola.
lion of international good faith ; and hinted, rather
than said, that the Danes were too honest in making
the promise, and ought rather to have followed the
example of others across the Atlantic in substituting
strategy for deficiency of strength. This suggestion
as to the possibility of accomplishing their objects
by indirect means was much too subtle for the
straightforward Danes and Swedes. " See what
came of it" was their judgment upon the course
taken by the Confederates in stealing their own
ship—plainly implying that the reverse expe.
rienced by Captain Semmes in the sinking of the
Alabama was the direct and natural consequence
of her having been originally smuggled out of
Liverpool. The salute of the Niels Juel was
returned from Kronberg Castle, and both vessels
then proceeded on their way to Copenhagen, where
it is expected that as soon as the ironclad is in com-
plete trim she will be visited by the King. On her
way from the United Kingdom she touched at a
point in Norway, and there received some impor-
tant additions to her equipment.

Her Majesty's ship Aurora is expected to return
here either tonight or to-morrow morning. The
Osborne, on her return from Travemunde, will pro.
teed to Copenhagen with a view of coaling, and her
subsequent movements will be guided by the wish
of their Royal Highnesses as to their ultimate point
of departure. This is likely to take place about
the middle of seat week, and there is a general
expectation that with a view of gratifying the
people of Copenhagen it will be decided to leave
from that city. The point, however, is quite an
open one. As regards mere facility of embarkation
Elsinore, no doubt, would be the chosen place.

WESTMINSTER,

SINGULAR APPLICATION.—A. very respectable-looking
middle aged man applied to kir Arnold this morning

to know whether he could not obtain redress under the fol-
lowing circumstances :
He stated that between three and four o'clock this morn-
ing he went to Lambeth-bridge, and found he could not
get on to it in consequence of the carriage-road gate being
secured and the foot turnstile being fixed. Applicant also
tonnd the toll-house closed, and tapped at the window
three or four times to arouse the collector, who was asleep.
After waiting two or three moments until he woke up the
collector refused to let him go over the bridge.
Mr Arnold—What did you do P
Applicant—l walked round to where I was going over
Westminster-bridge, which was a great deal further, and
much inconvenience to me. I have been in the habit for
nearly two years of going over Lambeth-bridge at the same
early hour every morning, and I think that the man had
no rigfit to refuse me. That the bridge is open day and
night for the public, or at any rate ought to be.
Mr Arnold—Why did the toll collector refuse to let you
go over the bridge ?

Applicant—He was annoyed, I suppose, at my waking
him out of his sleep.
Mr Arnold—Did you offer payment of the toll ?
Applicant—l did.
Mr Arnold—Why did he refuse to take it ?
Applicant—Because he was offended. I offered him
sixpence, but he refused to take it or give me change. He
said his toll was a halfpenny, and unless I paid him on; I
should not go over the bridge.
Mr Arnold—Then he refused the tender of sixpence for
the toll.

Applicant—He did, and I had no other money. I have
often had change there before, and should think he ought
to have had change this time. •
Mr Arnold—He might have given you change had he
pleased, but he was not bound. Sixpence is a legal tender
for sixpence, but not for a halfpenny, and he, therefore, was
at liberty to refuse. He is not bound to find change,

Another Horrible Murder near Windsor.

A very barbarous murder has just been discovered at
Sunninghill Park, the seat of Mr P. H. Crutchley, near
Ascot. On Saturday afternoon a carrier, named Kentish,
called about half-past five o'clock at a lodge near the road
leading to Sunningdale, for the purpose of leaving some
papers. This lodge was kept by an old woman named
Butler, who was about 70 years old. On Kentish opening
the door and entering the lodge, he was much surprised and
horrified to find the old woman sitting on the floor near the
entrance, with her head covered with wounds, and stream-
ing with blood. On the carrier asking her what was the
matter, she was just able to utter a few exclamations of pain
and became insensible, Kentish hastened to the adjacent
farm for assistance, and Dr. Hewitt, of Winkfield, was im-
mediately sent for, but the poor old woman had expired from
the dreadful nature of the injuries she had received. There
were three frightful cuts on the back and two on the top
of the heod. They had evidently been inflicted with same
blunt instrument, as the cap which Mrs Butler wore had
not been cut through, Sergeant Mansell, on receiving no-
tice of the murder, sent for Inspector Reece and Superin-
tendent Iremonger, of the Beiks constabulary, who imme-
diately proceeded to the scene of the murder, and minutely
searched the premises in the hope of finding some traces of
the old woman's murderer. By the side of the body of the
victim was found a bunch of four keys and a seal engraved
with the letter G. The poor old woman, who was in the
receipt of parochial relief, had a lodger, a labouring man.
This man gave a satisfactory account of himself. during
the day, he in fact being out at work at the tine the
barbarous deed as perpetrated. As Mrs Butler was in
very poor circumstances it is thought the murder has been
committed from motives of malice, and not of plunder.
Inspector Reece and Superintendent Iremonger remained
on the spot making inquiries during the whole of Satur-
day night, and suspicion hes alighted upon a tramp who
was seen in the neighbourhood during the day, and who
is said to have insulted several persons who refused to
give him alms.
