further consideration of the Customs and Corn Importation I
Act, asked Sir R. Pam, whether it was the intention of the
Government to present to the House copies or extracts of
any correspondence which might have passed between
the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs and her
Majesty's Ministers at Washington, relative to the Oregon
territory ?
Sir R. PEEL thought that any explanation on the subject
was wholly unnecessary, because le was convinced that the
expressions of her Majesty from the Throne, and
the statements of Gentlemen in that House, had not
been misunderstood. He had no objection to lay on the
table of the House those public communications which had
already been made public, if it was thought desirable that he
should do so.
Lord J. Russ= wished to ask what course the Govern-
ment intended to pursue with respect to the Corn Bill, and
the Irish Life and Property Protection Bill?
Sir R. PERI, said that he never felt greater anxiety for the
progress of a measure than he did for that with respect to
the corn-laws. He had received communications from
parties both in favour of and against Ministers, earnestly de-
siring a decision on the corn-laws. He thought it desirable
that the House should come to an early decision upon the
subject, and it was not his intention to permit any of the Go-
vernment business to interfere with it. With respect to the
Irish Life and Property Protection Bill, the course he
intended to pursue was this—he proposed to take
the second reading of the Corn Bill on Monday; it
was understood that that discussion would last till
Friday, but, in the hope that the discussion would terminate
on Thursday, he would propose that the Irish Bill should be
taken on Friday, as far as the first reading, but upon the un-
derstanding that if the debate on the Corn Bill was not con-
cluded till Friday, then that the Irish Bill should be read
a first time on Monday. He would take that opportunity of
stating, with respect to the report of the Classification Com-
mittee, relative to railways having a proposed termini in the
City, that the Government intended to act upon the recom-
mendation of the Committee, and that on Monday they
should acquiesce in the motion, and advise her Majesty to
appoint a Royal Commission upon the subject.
On the question of the further consideration of the Cus-
toms (the Tariff),
The Marquis of WORCESTER moved that timber be omitted.
Mr. H. HIND= supported the amendment.
Mr. CARDWELL defended the resolution, observing that it
was one of the moat popular that had been brought forward.
Mr. A. CHAPMAN objected to the resolution, believing that
it would have the effect of making this country dependent
upon foreigners for timber to build their ships.
Captain HARRIS also objected to the resolution.
A..• a. D • . Xllll ablola
Mr. WARBURTON supported the Government proposition,
and felt no doubt, looking at the beneficial results of the
tariff of 1842, that increased good would take place, if the
present proposition was carried into effect.
Mr. P. BORTHWICK supported the amendment of the
Noble Marquis, the Member for Gloucester.
Mr. HENLEY and Mr. HUME supported the Government.
Lord G. BENTLNCK spoke at some length in favour of the
amendment.
After a reply from Sir G. CLERK the House divided ; their
being for the Amendment 107, for the Ministerial measure
232 ; majority 123.
The orders of the day having been disposed of, the House
adjourned at one o'clock.

firmed his supposition with facts. A corroboration,
indeed, of these reports as to the continuation
of evictions transpired as recently as Saturday
at au anti-famine meeting, convened in Mal-
low. One of the ♦ictims of this cruel
system, a working fanner, addressed the assembly upon
the spread of destitution among his countrymen, stating
that he himself had been dispossessed by a landlord of
Annakiasy, although he had duly paid up his rent to the
moment of ejection. And in answer to the inquiry of a
clergyman as to how many had been subjected to similar
treatment upon the same property during the last ten
years, he supposed from fifty to sixty families. It is
folly indeed to question the continuance of this great
social evil among the Irish peasantry. Eviction
is persisted in, and will be persisted in, until Govern-
ment, by some stringent and comprehensive measure,
forces its cessation upon the landed proprietors. At all
times and seasons the sudden dispossession of an Irish
labourer is fraught with wretchedness. Driven from his
cabin during periods of absolute abundance, the colleen
is subjected, ipso facto, to the most bitter penury. How
much more extreme must this penury become at a moment
when the commonest description of human food is almost
entirely beyond the reach of even the most flourishing
of his class. And that this last circumstance is be-
coming more and more apparent, the most indisputable
documents are witness. "It is unnecessary for me,"
says the Mayor of Cork in a letter to Lord HEYTESBURT.
"to go into the numerous and most painful details of
the deep distress of the poor of Cerk, and of its
alarming progress : " another account informs us
that typhus fever has been actually traced
to the use of diseased potatoes ; while, as if to afford a
climsx to this catalogue of suffering, the Corh Reporter
mentions even the possibility of an outbreak of—
(and the writer hesitates for an instant, in the very em-
ployment of the dread word)—cholera So malignant
are the cholics produced by eating decayed vegetable mat-
ter. It is from a consideration of these occurrences, and
the prevalence of so many raiavrica atmung the population
of Ireland, that every sane individual must acknowledge
that the matter introduced on Thursday by the Marquis of
LONDOIiDARRY required no apology whatever. We are
only anxious that the substance of the remarks uttered
by the Noble Marquis may not be overlooked by Go-
vernment or by our legislators generally. By remem-
bering this vile system of eviction, the measures adopted
by Parliament for the alleviation of famine and con-
tagious diseases would be conducive to the more lasting
welfare of the peasantry ; and by shielding the te-
nantry from suck arbitrary acts on the part of their
landlords, Ribbonism might be soon numbered among
the bygone, the Whiteboys would be forgotten, and
Coercion Bills would be no longer applicable to the
peaceful inhabitants of Ireland.

It was but a few days since that we felt it our
painful duty to offer some commentaries upon the lax
system of guardianship exercised over the minds of the
youth who enter the Universities of Oxford and Cam-
bridge. Those remarks sprung from a consideration of
the recent trial of a doctor of divinity for the crime of
adultery, in which the jury had returned a verdict con-
firmatory of his guilt. Another disgraceful instance has
just been elicited in support of the general observations
we then made, as will be seen by referring to our
assize intelligence of Thursday, which contained a
report of a trial at Cambridge before Mr. Baron
PARKE, developing a fearful scene of riot and bloodshed,
occasioned in that town during this present month, by
what is familiarly known by the expression, " A town
and gown row." The eldest son of Sir JOHN Sewn
preferred an indictment against a policeman for a vio-
lent assault, committed during the excitement of the
scene alluded to. The jury found the charge proved,
and the prosecutor recommended a lenient sentence, as
it was only from a strong sense of public duty that he
had in that instance had recourse to a court of justice.
Nothing could be fairer than the way in which the
Learned Judge put the case to the jury in his summing
up, viz.—whether, the assault being proved, there was
evidence to show that the defendant committed it in
order to quell a riot. Every one knows how great are
the arist.,cratical influences that prevail in the precincts
of the Universities, and how dependent are the trades.
men and townspeople upon yielding a pliant obedience
to the dogmatical tyranny of the members of the col-
leges, of all grades, and hence we can easily conceive
that there was the greatest difficulty on the part of this
poor and unprotected policeman in producing satisfactory
evidence to show that what he did was necessary to cheek
the outrageous disturbance created by the disgraceful
conflict, in which he was called upon to act as a conser-
vator of the public peace. The evidence discloses that
the "flower of our youth" had armed themselves with
weapons of a formidable description, amongst which
were pokers, one of which was produced by a police-
constable, who had been felled to the ground by it by
' one of the alumni. On the other hand, testimony was
freely given by tutors and other academical gentlemen
to overwhelm the almost friendless policeman in
his attempt to prove that the circumstances of
the case justified him in striving to suppress
the riot. One thing is clear, that so long
as these annual displays of brute force (unpro-
voked as they generally are) find an arena within the
jurisdiction of the Universities, the authorities must be

held highly culpable and most wanting in the discharge
of one of the first duties they owe to the public. To
such a pitch does this unpardonable spirit of insubordi-
nation seem to have attained, that we find one of the
tutors remonstrating with the police, and urging them
not to interfere with the youthful disturbers of the public
peace, as it was next to useless. Thus, it
would appear, that even with those, from
whom, position and years we might look for
better things, a species of prescriptive right is autho-
ritatively recognised for their pupils to sport with the
very lives of their fellow-countrymen whenever they
find themselves in,the humour. We call upon the heads
of the colleges, who assume the province of giving the
best education to our future clergy, magistrates, and
members of the other liberal professions, to take some
rigorous steps for preventing a repetition of those dis
orderly and shocking occurrences. It is notorious that
the undergraduates sally forth for the indul-
gence of their pugnacious propensities whenever
it is expected that a town and gown row
will take place. Were the authorities to be but
ordinarily vigilant, and to make a few salutary exam-
pies of those scions of the nobility and aristocracy, who
are generally the foremost to court a rupture between
themselves and the townspeople, and who plume them-
selves upon being sure to escape with impunity, by rea-
son of their high connexions, and the injury any parti-
cular college would receive were the gentlemen of !heir
importance to retire and patronise some other as yet
less favoured college—were these insurrectionary tyros
to be promptly expelled and finally excluded from par-
ticipating in the advantages (such as they are) of a uni-
versity degree—we should soon have a cessation of
those disgusting practices, and the authorities would free
themselves from a stigma and scandal for which
they are at present so much to blame.

For the simple and candid manner in which, on Thurs-
day evening, the Marquis of LONDONDERRY called the at-
tention of Government to the helpless condition of the
Irish tenantry, he deserves every possible credit. And,
although we make some allowance for the exaggeration
with which circumstances of peculiar cruelty are usually
coloured in the course of their dissemination, we cannot
but deem the occurrence which the Noble Marquis
adduced as one demanding the strictest scrutiny. Ac-
cording to his Lordship's authority, no less than four
hundred tenants were very recently dispossessed
in the vicinity of Roscommon, and in addi-
tion to this, it was asserted that upwards
of two thousand human. beings have suffered
eviction within the last two years upon the same estate.
Philosophers have not unfrequently observed that a deli-
cate and sensitive female can peruse, with scarcely a
shudder, the lists of killed and wounded, dated, together
with the bulletin, upon the battle-field ; whereas, could
each of those mangled bodies be brought under our
actual inspection, could each broken limb be seen, and
each death-groan be heard, the most callous would recoil
from the spectacle with horror. In like manner,
their Lordships might listen with merely a casual or
evanescent pang when the voice of the Most Noble the
Marquis of LONDONDERRY informed them that four hun-
dred of their fellow countrymen were, by this ruthless
eviction, "plunged into the greatest distress, without the
slightest means of shelter." Could they, however, be-
come cognisant of the privations to which those ousted
labourers are subjected, and behold the total abandon-
. ment of so many houseless creatures, we might be
assured of an instant and strenuous effort in behalf
of the ,
sufferers on the past of our
remark-
able lreg isl a
tive aristocracy. In speaking thus we a
from wishing to impute any individual ore fa
indifference towards misery to the House of
Peers : we are merely reverting to an abstract quality
in the temperament of man ; and we do thib for the pur-
pose of enforcing the necessity of interposition on the
Legislature by repetitio enpon
.repetition of the gcneral
grievance, so as to comsate.in some measure for our
incapacity to present a vivid picture of the details. By
the mere utterance of a sarcasm upon the fictions con-
tained in Irish newspapers, the Marquis of WESTMEATII
endeavoured to throw discredit upon the statement
regarding the proceedings in Roscommon. This, we
conceive, was scarcely fair. Declarations are not to be
overthrown by inuendoes, but by counter declarations.
And hence, in the present precarious position of the
multitude in Ireland, the Noble Marquis might, with
more propriety, have suppressed his doubts as to the
authenticity of the rumour until be could have con•

In the account we gave on Thursday of the funeral of the
Rev. J. T. GUYER, we have another painful instance of
the unfeeling and bigoted prejudice of some of the clergy
of the Established Church, which at once enlists our
warmest sympathies with the deceased, and arouses our
indignation at the conduct of the Rector of Binstead.
For twenty-eight years had Mr. GUYER exercised his
ministry in an exemplary and irreproachable manner,
beloved by all who knew him, and shared in the benefits
of his exertions. Simultaneously with the depositing
of his remains in a vault at the foot of that pul-
pit he had so long adorned, were the shops
of the neighbourhood generally closed, and every
outward token of respect paid to his memory. It was
his dying request to be deposited in the ground at Bin-
stead that contained the bodies of his children, and for
what reason was this refused by the rector? Simply,
forsooth, because the deceased was a Dissenter, and
worshipped his CREATOR in the manner which in his
conscience he believed to be most proper.
Can the Church of England expect to retain any
hold of the affections of the people if this deplorable
and unchristian conduct is practised and sanctioned
by their functionaries, and what greater stimulus can
be given to the growth of Dissent if this cruel enforce-
ment of legal right is to be made at the expense of every
noble and enlarged sentiment? We rejoice to observe
that a numerous body of members of the Church of
England signed a letter of condolence, upon the above
circumstances, to his ber.aved family, and thus marked
their opinion of the outrage that had been offered to
every feeling of humanity. Such a document carrier.
with it the strongest commentary upon the proceeding.
and we sincerely hope its moral will not be lost upon
the heads of the Church, whose duty it is to take the
initiative, and, by their influence and authority, to save
us for the future from the pain of any similar occur-
rence; or, if they should fail in this, that the circum-
stance will not escape the attention of our Legislature.

The Paris papers of Wednesday have arrived. They
all eulogise the speech of M. TRIERS on the previous day
in support of M. REMUSAT'S motion for the exclusion of
the paid servants of the public from the Chamber of
Deputies, as a masterpiece of eloquence, although the
Journal des Dibats and L'Epoqus consider M. Ducu.l-
- reply afforded a complete answer to all the reason-
ings of M. TRIERS. The latter journal says—
" The speech of M. Thiers was animated, brilliant, and
charming. It is his best piece of oratory, but his most de-
testable political production. The speech of M Duchatel was
measured, wise, and practical. He did as much to secure
the vote of the Chamber as the other did for the gratification
of the galleries. We and many others have often said that
M. Thiers was desirous of again becoming Minister; but
after having heard his speech of yesterday, we are convinced
he has tie such thought; for when a man treats the Chamber
with disdain and monarchy with levity, it is impossible for
him to believe that he can over obtain the support of one, or
the confidence of the other."

All parties seem to agree that by this remarkable
speech M. THUM has completely closed against him-
sols the doors of office.. On this subject the National

says .--
"We acknowledge that he spoke bold truths. TLis bold-
ness must deprive him of office for a long time to come. He
declared it himself when he uttered these words,—' I Hill
place my vessel on the highest point of the shore, and will
wait until the approaching tide shall set it afloat.' Let him
not labour under an illusion. When the tide rises it will be
in stormy weather, and M. Thiers's vessel is teo fragile to
resist the waves of the ocean."

The discussion on M. REMUSAT'S motion was re-
sumed by the Chamber of Deputies on Wednesday. The
proposition was rejected by a mrijority of 48. The num-
bers being—For the motion, 184 ; against it, 232 ;
Majority for Ministers, 48. There were 416 Deputies
present.

trate at the Worship-street and Greenwich Police courts, has signi-
fled to the Secretary of State for the Home Department his intention
to retire from his judicial office at the end of the current quarter.
Mr. Train, one of the presiding magistrates at the Southwark Police-
court, succeeds Mr. Grove, and will, on Mr. Grove's retirement, dis-
charga the duties at the Greenwich and Woolwich courts in coujunc-
Bon with Mr. Jeremy. Mr. Traill will be succeeded at the Southwark
Court by Henry Locket!, Esq., of Itaby-place, Bath, and a barrister
on the Chester Circuit, who was called to the bar of Gray's Inn the
22d of November, 1797. Mr. Grove retires pattly on account of ill
health, and having, by the death of his father (late a deputy-lieu.
tenant of the county of Staflord, residing at Lichfield), come into an
ample nirtune, which has removed the necessity of his tollovving a..y
professional occupation. lie is a gentleman of retired habits, and
will leave Greenwich pith many regrets of friends and neighbours,
and more particularly of the deserving poor, towards whom his feel-
ing. were always alive.
'fur. CARLTON CLUB.—The Carlton Club, as may be
well supposed, is, like the Conservative party at large, now split into
two sections, who may be classed as Feelites and Protectionists. On
Tuesday last the annual election of the house committee took place,
and we hear that the occasion was seized upon as a trial of strength
between the two tarties. The result was that the Peelites were
beaten hollow, the Protectionist list being earned by a large ma-
jorlty. —Brighten Gazette.
TROTTING 'MATCH FOR TWENTY POW-WM—Thurs-
day afti moon, 31r. Manley and Mr. Soe trotted their horses, the one
mile match at Finchley. The former drove his horse in the winner,

FOOR THOUSAND MECHANICS WANTED IN MAN-
Canwrza.—Large posters were on Than lay displayed throughout the

THE LEG OF A FEMALE FOUND IN THE itrvEn
Yesterday morning, a man employed in clearing the mud at the
embankment, now terming at the river side of the Isle of Dogs, op-
posite Greenwich, for the purpose of making wharfs, found in the
mud the whole of a leg and foot ; it had on a woman's boot and the
remains of a black worsted stocking. It had evidently been in the
water for many months, as, on being taken on shore, it became a
mars of crumbling dirt, leaving only the banes.
DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL SEIFSET.—The Gallant
Admiral, who had been residing at Brighton during the latter years
of his life, died there on Wednesday evening, in the 90th year of his

and wounded in that eft' the Dogger Batik, 1781 ; of the Britannia,
at Howe's relief of Gibraltar; and commanded the Termagant, in the
expedition to Egypt in 1801.
THE THEATRE OF WAR.—Algeria is frequently men-
tioned in the French papers as the " theatre of war." We must say
the principal actors understand their business very well, as their
engagements now have lasted tor the last fourteen years ; but then
it must be confessed the acting directions are very easy, fir they
consist absolutely of nothing else but " Infer tbd-el-Kader ; /mit
Bugeaud ;" and " Exit Abd-el-Bader ; Enter Bugeaud."—Punch.
ROBBERY BY A CARRIER.—At Marylebong .Police
court, on Thursday, a man, named Fidler, in the employ of Messrs.
Ford and Co., carriers, was committed for trial, charged with

THE REBECCAITES IN THE GREAT DOVER-ROAD.-
Yesterday morning, and to some extent during the day, a good deal
of excitement was caused in that portion of the Great Dover-road
from St. George's Church, in the Borough, to the turnpike near
Roll's floor-cloth manufactory. in consequence of the demolition of a
temporary bar placed opposite the Swan inn, by some of the " Re-
becca" party in that neighbourhood. Since Saturday last posts have
been driven into the ground, and a bricklayer's pole attached to
them, at the corners or all the streets along that distance, in order
t.) exact a toll for.vehicles passing _through them into the Great
Dover-road. The persons, however, who are placed there to exact
these tolls, so far from using their " poll bars," which would not
reach half-way across the streets, as a means to refuse the passing
of the vehicles, have had the ends iron-bound to the posts, so that
they are like a fence by the side of the footway. In the course of
Wednesday night the " pole" near the Swan was broken down, and it
would probably take a dozen such lengths to reach across the street.
The inhabitants never remember a toll being before demanded, nor
were bars ever placed there, and they tool it a considerable hindrance
to thdr business to be thus novetiv and ithont any reason taxed.
Men are placed there who denian4 the toll sanx gate, and some lay
and soup do not. Westmi.isier Ball will probably be We place where
the !revel proceeding must at last be dolded.

NEWS FROM PORTUGAL.
(From the Morning Herald.)
SUICIDE OF CAPT. M'LEOD, OF THE GREAT
LIVERPOOL STEAMER.

SCOMMAIITTOX, FRIDAY MORNING, SEVEN O'CLOCIL—
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Queen,
Captain Russell, arrived this morning at four o'clock, from
the Peninsula, bringing the usual mails. Her dates of de-
parture are as follows :—Gibraltar, 10th March ; Cadiz,
11th ; Lisbon, 13th ; Oporto, 14th ; Vigo, 15th ; orunna,
16th. The Queen brings a full cargo of dates, oranges,
specie, eggs, &c.
The schooner Brand, for Liverpool, with corn, struck on
Oporto Bar coming out ; she apparently sustained no damage,
and proceeded on her voyage.
The Queen experienced very strong S.W. gales outwards,
and a succession of northerly gales homewards, or she would
have performed the voyage two days so.mer.
The Queen brings home about 90 persons, passengers, in-
cluding the crew and passengers of the Great Liverpool.
They are in a very distressed condition for -want of clothing
and many.other necessaries.
It is with extreme regret that I announce the death of
Captain M'Leod, the late commander of the Great Liver-
pool, who died by his own hand immediately after the last
of the passengers had departed for Corunna. He had been
in a most desponding state of mind ever since the unfortu-
nate occurrence, and it is supposed could not bear up against
misfortune. The melancholy event has left a gloom over

the whole town. He was, a man unilwsally beloved and
respected. He has left a large young family, with propects
of an early increase. _ _ -

There is nothing further saved from the wreck of the Great
Liverpool. The ship is entirely gone to pieces, and what va-
luables floated ashore were principally purloined by the ras-
cally natives.
The Queen brings hone her mails. I have personally
inspected them; but as they are in boxes it is impo.sible for
a casual .observer to state what damage they have received.
I regret to add, that Lieutenant Williamson, the Admi-
ralty agent of the Great Liverpool, lies dangerous•y ill at
Corunna ;so much so, that his life is despaired of. He was
totally unable to come to England in the Queen.
Too much praise cannot be given to Captain Russell for
his kind, humane, and pulite attention in every respect to Ms
unfortunate passengers. Most of their friends were waiting
at the various hotels in the town to receive them, and it may
be readily imagined the greetings were of a most cordial cha-
racter.

Ltsisox, MARC!! 13.—Baron Renduffe, the new Portuguese
Minister to the Court of Spain, set off on the 11th inst. for
Madrid vit./ Cadiz. One chief object of his mission is said to
be, the negotiation of a match between the Spanish Queen
and Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, brother to the King
Consort of this country. His allowance has been raised from
5,300 to 8,000 mania per annum ; besides which he has been
furnished with credit to the amount of 40,000 miireis far ea-
tertaiaments and douceurs to those influential persons who
can aid him in his object.
We have to report the loss of anether English ruse!, the
brig Vestal, which went on shore near Vienna, on the sth
inst. The master, mate, anti six seamen, were drowned, and
eight seamen were saved. The vessel and cargo were totally
lost.

SUSPICIoUS DISCOVE RY 0
CHATHAM ISLAND.

A letter has been received at Lloyd's from the Foreign-
office,inclosing a copy of a dispatch received from her Ma-
jesty's Consul-General in Central America, dated
A Guatemala, Dec. 3, 1845.
Lord,—The master of the Black Cat, of London, who
hats just arrived at Iztapa, has given me the following note
respecting the remains he found of the furniture of a vessel
on. Chatham Island, situated near the equator, in longitude
about 87. Captain James Davies's account is as follows :
November 10, 1845.
Made the Gallapagos Islands. Being calm, I went on
shore on Chatham Island in search of water, but found none.
Alt eight A.M, returned on board, and proceeded along shore
at the rate of 6% knots per hour, for the space of two and-a-
1i4.1f hours, when the wind died away. A sudden calm abreast
of a deep bay. Lowered my boat, and went on shore myself,
'ar d four hands under arms. On arriving at the bottom of
e bay, in pulling along the shore, my attention
was called to a number of water casks, twenty-five in all,
t renty yards above high••water mark. I then landed at the
sI ,ot, took out the bungs, and Ending the greater number of
tt ietn full, rolled four of them down to the beach ; left them, as
it still continued calm ; proceeded a short way into the woodS
with the boat's crew, when I discovered three poles sticking
ii Ito the ground, namely, two top-gallant and lower,studding
wails booms belonging to some unknown vessel of about 180
r 200 tons, on which the American flag was flying all in
tatters ; beneath them a heap of cinders, where there had been
a pparently a great fire, and the most valuable of instruments
t a mariners had been destroyed and melted, namely, brass

about fourteen feet, struck on a rock and bilged there. I

Island, which is marked doubtful in the chart, bearing
distant five miles; latitude observed at noon 33 min.
sec. north, longitude $9 deg. 30 min. west. By
having the same inserted in the papers, it may ba of ser-
vice to some nation or people, as I attribute the whole to some
piracy or mutiny, from the signs.
Your Lordship may perhaps think it desirable to make this
singular case known at Lloyd's, for general information.
At first I was inclined to suspect that this might be the
Toren Cecilia, Peruvian schooner, which disapptared from
the coast of Peru in November, 1844, with a cargo of gory:.
of the value of 20,000 dollars, belonging to Mr William
Turner, a British subject, and which was traced to Realego
and Punta de Arenasin, the republic, where the Captain,
Marto Bustos, sold sonic of the cargo.
On the 13th of February last she called• in at Acajuitlia, and
was supposed to have proceeded thence to the cost of Mexico,
but the valuable nature of the ojects, Captain Davis de-
scribes as having been so deliberately destroyed, and the fact
that a quantity of gold was found melted with the rest of the
tthings, forbids that supposition, and leaves the cause of this
Krause occurance beyond reasonable conjection.
I have, &c.,
FREDK CHATFIELD.
