THE VENERABLE HERR FINTELMANN, the King
of Prussia's head gardener at Charlottenburg, died
on Christmas-day at the age of ninety. Those who have
visited Berlin will recall how he used to tell, with evident
pride, that in his boyhood, when he was employed in the
gardens of Sans Souci, Frederick the Great was wont to
search out the largest and finest figs with his eyes, and,
pointing to them with his cane, make him mount the trees
and gather them for him. But, if he spoke with pride of
this occupation of his boyhood connecting his memories
with the great king, he would tell with enthusiasm of the
culture of the first dahlias, which Humboldt had
brought over from America, and first introduced into
Prussia. To old Mr. Fintelmann the beautiful gardens on
Peacocks' Island, near Potsdam, the favourite resort of
King Frederick William the Third, owe their chief attrac-
tions.

him that I paid taxes,course it was all of no
avail, Riding on the platform on a bitter cold day like this,
I need not say, is almost intolerable
, but to compel persons
to pay the same as those who enjoy comfortable seats inside
by a good fire seems quite atrocious. yet I felt, under the
circumstances, compelled to submit to the wrong for tho
sake of arriving at my place of
business in due time. But
before I arrived at my destination it began to
snow, which,
as I was already thoroughly chilled with the cold, made the
platform utterly intolerable ; hence I concluded to walk the
rest of the distance, and accordingly got.off,feeling satisfied
that nowhere in Christendom Could be found a better illus-
tration of Judge Tanny's decision in the Dred Scott case, in
which he declared that black men have no rights which white
men are bound to respect, than are demonstrated by the rules
of the passenger cars of the City of Brotherly Love. A
venerable old minister of the Gospel' in going from here to
his home at Frankford, one dark, cold, and rainy night last
winter, while occupying the 0011 place on the platform
assigned for coloured people, vas killed. Who has for-
gotten this fact ? One evening, in going home from a
lecture, two elegantly dressed young women stepped into a
car, and took seats. The conductor courageously brought
the rules forward, and one of them instantly stepped out,
while the other remained. The car was stopped, and the
conductor seized her, and actually, by. Physical force, thrust
her out of the car. Tho father of this young woman pays
several hundred dollars taxes aeaually ; keeps his horse
and carriage, and lives as nicely as most respectable oitizens.
But the God-given hue of the skin of his daughter rendered
her obnoxious to the rules of the railway company, and she
had to submit to the outrage."

Mr. Beard said he had no question to ask the witness.
William Taller, a native of Scotland, and second mate of
the Flowery Land, said—l left London in the ship for Sin-
gapore on the 28th of July last. The captain's name was
John Smith, and his brother George was a passenger going
to Singapore. The first mate's name was John Carswell.
The steward was a Malay—his name was Abo. The cook
and lamptrimmer were Chinese. The carpenter's name
was Anderson, and there was also a French seaman aboard
named Canderot. All the prisoners formed part of the crew.
Some time after we sailed from London the Captain made
some complaint about the prisoners not being qualified
to do their duty. I have never seen any violence
towards either of them. I have heard him call them
coolies and sons of —. The men on their part complained
of not having enough victuals and water. Blanco was the
spokesman on the occasion. The men's complaints were
attended to. I recollect, about the Ist of September, Carlos
was wanted on deck, but instead of coming up he went
and turned into his bed. He said he wanted his watch
below, and that he was not well. When he refused to come
up, all the watch, seven in number, refused to come on deck.
George Carlos, Marco Varto, Marciliano, and Francisco
Blanco were the only names of the seven that he could
recollect. I and the chief mate, Mr. Carswell, went down
to Carlos, and told him to come on deck and do his duty. He
refused and said he was sick, upon which the mate took
hold of him and pulled him out of bed, and gave him several
blows with his fist.
Mr. Beard—The chief mate did that ?
Witness—Yes.
Examination continued—Carlos was got on deck, he still
refused to do his work, and the master then told me to
make him fast to the rigging with a piece of rope. I did

so. He remained tied about five minutes, when
the captain came out of his cabin and told me to
loose him. I did so. The captain gave him some medi-

tine and told him to go and turn in. There was another
quarrel with the first mate a few da3 s after Carlos and
another were fighting. He told them to leave 6ff, but as
they refused he took hold of Carlos, and they had a struggle
together. I recollect the night the captain was killed. I
had the first watch. The first mate relieved me at ono
o'clock. There was a house on deck, on the port side of
which the ten prisoners lived together. The other side was
occupied by the carpenter, the witness Early, and Conde-
rot. The cook's galley formed the third portion of it, and
the boatswain's stores were kept in the remaining portion
of it. Going down the companion ladder, the first
berth on the port side would be Mr. Carswell's,
next to that the captain's brother, and then mine.
The captain occupied all the starboard aide for his sleeping
and state room. Th 9 ship's cabin was used generally by
the crew. While I was in my berth on the morning in
question, at about 3 o'clock I was awoke by a noise on deck,
It sounded as if people were beating pieces of wood on the
companion. I tried to get on deck, but a person was lying
there on his face, so that 1 was prevented going up, There
were a number of persons on the poop beating him on the
head with handspikes. I don't know how many were there,
but I saw Francisco Blanco amongst them. I heard his
voice, and by the little light above I was able to recognise
him. lam certain about that. I received a blow on

the head with a capstan bar. I tried to pull
the man up the companion, but could not, and called out for
the captain. I got no answer, and then I went into the
captain's berth and found it empty. I then went back into
the main cabin and found him lying dead with a pool of

blood around him, and trimmed the light to enable me to
see better. He was lying on the floor. All down the left

side of his shirt was cut as from knives. After this I wen

to the captain's brother's berth and found him gone also,
After this I went into my berth and fastened myself inside,
This was about 10 minutes after I first heard the noise,

While I was locked in I heard several persons
sing out for me to come up. I did not go, and
in a short time eight men came down to m} berth.

There were amongst them, John Lyons spokesman, Fran-

cisco Blanco, Marco Varto, Joseph Chance, M. Durano,
George Carlos, Borcelia la Santo. Marciliano I think was
amongst them, but of this lam not sure, Lyons spoke in

English ; ho said " Come out of your berth, we want to
speak to you." I said, " What aro you going to do with
me, are you going to kill me 1" He said " No." I then
came out, and he said " We've murdered the captain and
the mate, and the captain's brother has got away, and we
dont't know where he's gone. We wish you to navigate
the ship to some place, in order to get on shore." They
were all quite ignorant of navigation.
Mr. Henry—Did all those with Lyons hear what he
said ?

Witness—Yes.
Mr. Henry—And understood what he said P

Witness—Yes; Carlos and Chance, I am sure, did.
Examination continued—l asked, " Where am Ito take
the ship to ?" to which George Carlos said, " Take it to
Buenos Ayres or the River Plate."
Mr. Henry—Did he say that in English ?
Witness—Yes.
Examination continued—l agreed to take the ship to one
of those places. The ship then stood 19 S., 36 W. I next
saw MarcoVarto with a rope round the dead captain's neck,
and, as he was about to haul the body up, I asked to be
allowed to sow the body up in canvass, as I did not like to
see it go overboard naked. I got the canvass and sewed up
the body, and then went to my berth. I did not see what
became of the body. I afterwards saw Chance put his
hand upon a large knife by his side in a very threatening
manner. About eight o'clock in the morning they all
assembled in the cabin, and John Lyons, still acting as
spokesman, said the men wanted to see all that was in the
captain's state berth.

Mr. Henry—Who was present when that was said ?
Witness—Chance, Blanco, Varto, Durano, la Santo, and
some others, but I can't recollect the others. All hands, I
believe, were in the cabin, except the man at the wheel.

Examination continued—l don't recollect the name of the
man at th 3 wheel. I told Lyons he could do as he liked.
_ __ _

All I wanted was my life. The prisoners then went into
the captain's cabin, and I saw George Carlos, Joseph
Chances, Francisco Blanco, and Varto rummaging about
the captain's drawers and writing desk. The others were
sitting outside. The four men when they got all
they wanted, brought it out amongst the others, who were
outside. Lyons ordered me to share it out. I said no. I
don't want to do anything of the sort. You can do that
very well without me. He said you must do it. I was
compelled to do as he directed. He said it was to be divided

into 17 shares, but Marco Varto said only eight should have

it. This he said in English.
Mr Henry--Did he name the eight ?
Witness—l cannot say.
Examination proceeded—Lyons took no notice, and I
was directed to divide it into 17, and this gave about Li a
share, leaving a sovereign er two over. The captain's gold

watch was put into the writing desk because it could not be
_. _

divided.

Mr. Henry—Did any one say anything about the watch ?
Witness—No. The captain's, his brother's, and the mate's
clothes were then brought out by four men, who gathered

up the money in the state cabin. The four fellows were

helping themselves, and then the other men took what they
pleased. I was not asked to share the clothes. They next
brought out the boots and shoes. The chest was broken

open, and everybody helped themselves. I don't know

who broke the chest. The cargo of the ship consisted of
bale goods, bottled beer, champagne, and iron pipes. The

next thing after they had done was to plunder the cargo.
Mr. Henry—What did they do ?
Witpess—They broke open the bales of goods, helped
themselves to what they liked, and drank the champagne.
Witness continued—A ship was sighted a few days after
the murders. She was nearly in the same course as

we were. I asked Lyons if I might speak to her,
as I wanted to compare longitude. He said he
did not think the other men would allow me to speak to
the snip, or to hoist any signals, but he would speak to
them about it. He went forward to do so. When he came

back he said I might, but that I must not say anything
about what had occurred on board the ship. I said I would
not. I steered towards the ship and spoke her. She proved
to be an English ship from Liverpool, the Friends. George
Carlos told me to give our ship's name the Louisa, and not
say anything about where we were from or where
we were bound to. I gave the name Louisa, from
Now° Dieppe to Valparaiso, 47 days out. All

the men were on the quarter• deck when this was
done. I gave the fictitious voyage to save my life. If I
had not done so I should have gone overboard. After the
ship Fziends passed, there sprang up a tremendous quarrel
between the Spaniards, the two Greeks, and the Manilla
men. John Lyons told me the men thought I had told
the other ship what had been done. They all looked very
threatening at me, and I thought my life was in danger.
On Sept. 30, Marco Varto was drunk, and took a knife to
