The Federal authorities are determined to per-
severe in their persecution of Captain Wnrrz, but
they find it is more prudent to avoid making a
direct attack on their more distinguished opponent.
The military commission before which the trial of
Captain WIRTZ took place has been dissolved, and
a new one convened, composed of the same mem-
bers. The object of this movement seems to have
been the omission of the names of LEE, SEDDON,
and NORTHROP from the specification of charges.
With the usual arbitrary injustice which has charac-
tdrised their proceedings the judges refused to
grant the application of the prisoner's counsel, who,
upon the opening of fresh proceedings, asked for
time to prepare the defence. For some reason
not Stated this gentleman abandoned the case,
when. the Judge Advocate was appointed to defend
the prisoner, a movement not much in his favour,
we should imagine, since official prejudice and party
feeling will operate against him in the mind of his
own advocate. The news of the 25th, however,
tells us that a new counsel had appeared for the
prisoner, whose trial was still the subject of the day.
Mississippi is still making active progress towards
reconstruction and reunion. The Mississippi Con-
vention have annulled the Secession Ordinance and
repealed all the laws passed by the Secession Con-
vention, excepting the revenue ordinance, and
some others not repugnant to the Federal
Constitution. The Mississippi Convention
have further testified their independence and their
humanity by boldly memorialising the PRESIDENT
on behalf of Mr. Davis. They have a good right
to speak for the Southern leader, since they have
just given active proof of their readiness to re-enter
the Union, and of their goodwill and loyalty to the
existing authorities. We are not informed what

cular appeal, but he telegraphed to the Governor
of the State congratulating him ,

Corpus Act should be restored and the troops With_
drawn so soon as the State had fully returned to
her allegiance. Another hint in favour of
pacific and moderate measures has been
received by the PRESIDENT from a different
quarter. The democratic convention of Pennsylva-
nia have given him their qualified support, demand-
inggse the
that measures should be passed to ;
South congressional representation and saving them
from negro suffrage, also stopping the punishment
and murder of individuals by court-martial. Fur-
ther reductions of the military establishments are
progressing, the PRESIDENT having ordered 47
major and brigadier-generals to be mustered out,
and the number of prisoners who are being
diminished by those who are parolled without any
special charges against them are to be furnished
with passports on the condition that they do not
returnito the States without the PRESIDENT'S leave.
This will be a hard condition to some:, of them,
and as it is directed against those who are charged
with no offence, save that of having carried arms
with their countrymen, it must be considered un-
warrantably harsh. The most conspicuous item of

Now that, unfortunately, it is impossible to have
the advice and assistance of Parliament, it is impe-
ratively incumbent upon the authorities to exert
themselves, and make every possible endeavour
to meet the emergency that has arisen. It
is too frequently the case that an aversion to
official prejudices and interference with existing
systems, tends to disincline the Government for any
active operations and sudden changes. Thus, if it
be found by the observations of qualified persons,
and the experience of those who take pains to inform
themselves that great and serious evils exist, surely
it is high time to put aside the conventionalities of '
precedent and the empty forms of usages and old
customs. The common sense of the community may
do much, but it will not do to entrust the safety of
the metropolis, as regards public health, to an inde-
finite theory ; and while the many are wise
and careful the ignorant few may suffice
to undo all the effects of precautionary
measures, and thus the dreaded advent of the
cholera may
more than realise gloomy forebodings
and serious apprehensions. The utmost vigilance
should be exercised by all who are in authority, high
or low, to put a stop to the many nuisances now
existing which militate against sanitary matters.

THE LATE OUTRAGE AT FINGLAS.—The operation
of extracting the ball from the skull of the poor
man Cummins, who was so brutally attacked at Finglas
last week, was successfully performed at the Richmond
Hospital on Saturday morning. Three portions of a ball
were taken from between the frontal and inner bones of
the skull. The pieces found were but half the weight of a
regular ball, and the doctors are of opinion that the missing
half did not enter the skull at all, but rebounded. Cum-
mix's, who bore the operation with great fortitude, is pro-
gressing as favourably as can be expected, but the priscner
O'Flynn, although slightly improved, is not yet out of
danger of an attack of erysipelas. The swelling of his
head, caused by the beating he received from young Cum-
mins while bravely defending his father, has considerably
abated; and it is thought if he continues to improve in the
same degree as during the past few days, his recovery may
be looked forward to at a much earlier period than was
at first expected.

KILLED BY BEES.—A very sudden and melan-
choly fatality has occurred in the neighbourhood of Wigton,
through which Mr. Toppin, innkeeper, of the Highland
Laddie, lost his life. It seems that Mr. Toppin had gone
up to Slea-green to take the honey from some bees, intend-
ing to take it by a method only recently brought into use.
While at work, from some cause or other the bees seemed
to get irritated very much, and came out of one of the
hives, settling on the poor man's head, face, and neck, so
as to completely cover them. He ran off some little dis-
tance, and when followed and found—which was in a few
minutes afterwards—he was found lying on his face, and
quite dead. It seems most likely that he had taken a fit
of some kind, probably produced by the pain and fright.—
Carlisle Examiner.

It is satisfactory to find that the news from the
Cape of Good Hope is not so alarming as rumour
threatened. The Basutos, indeed, have mustered
in strong force and committed some depredations.
It is said that in a collision respecting some cattle
they killed five Boers, but there appears to be no
actual certainty that any life has een sacrificed,

Despatches were received yesterday at the Colo-
nial-office from the Governors of the Care of Good Hope,
Natal, St. Helena, and Canada. Despatches were sent to
the Governors of Malta and Honduras.

offered for sale an ingot of silver which he pretended
to have just found in the street. The tradesman
told the boy that the silver was worth 44f., but
that he had no right to sell it, and must deposit it
with the commissary of police. The jeweller
accordingly took him to that functionary's office,
where, when closely questioned, the boy confessed
that he had abstracted the ingot from a box in a cel-
lar belonging to his father, abaker named B-, re-
siding at Point-du-Jour. The commissaire thinking
it very strange that a baker should keep silver ingots
in his cellar, went to the house indicated and found
several boxes containing silver bullion. After many
prevarications, the baker at last stated that the
metal belonged to a man named R-, employed
as foreman in the establishment of an operative
chemist and assayist. The investigation which
followed proved that R- had been for three
years robbing his master, and had employed the
proceeds in building premises where he intended to
commence business on his own account. The baker
and the foreman have both been committed for
trial.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
PLYMOUTH, Sept. 4.
The Diamond Company's steamship Albany arrived
off Dartmouth to-day, where she was obliged to put
up. She brings Cape news to July 28.
The Basuto war was proceeding with great vigour,
and the Whole course of affairs up to then was
strongly in favour of the Free State. Vechtkop,
the stronghold of Bushuli, a Basuto chief, had been
captured : 60 Basutos were killed, and 4,500 sheep,
425 cattle, and 150 horses captured. Molitsani's
town, another Basuto stronghold, had also been
taken, and about 1,000 huts burnt. The country
of Molitsani had been seized and proclaimed Free
State territory. Great atrocities were alleged to
have been committed, and murder and robberies
perpetrated, by the Basutos on British subjects on
the British soil, namely, the Natal side of the Dra-
kenberg.
This was said to have arisen through the confu-
sion attendant on a great and successful raid made
by the Basutos among the Africander Boers along
the Natal frontier. Among the homesteads burnt
by the Basutos in the Wittenbergen, Sand River
district, and Winburg, is that of Sir Walter Currie.
The Natal Government were acting promptly for
the defence of the frontier, and had resolved to grant
an annual subsidy of £7,000 to extend telegraphic
communication via the Free State to Cape Colony.
The Albany brings 46 passengers and a full cargo
of wool ; 30 passengers landed at Dartmouth.
Her Majesty's ship Euryalus left Simon's Bay,
July 16, for England.
