THE DENHAM MURDERS.

It was stated by the police at Denham on Friday
evening that the further examination of Jones, which is
fixed to take place at Slough on Tuesday will be con-
ducted within the prison walls, as the authorities cannot,
without a greatly increased display of force, be answer-
able for his safety. The feeling against him in
the district has reached an extraordinary pitch,
and the large crowd which congregated before the
inquest room on Friday openly avowed their
intention of making a rush to seize the murderer, if he
were brought up, and lynching him. It is said to, be the
intention of the landlord to pull down the old cottage in
which the massacre took place, and build another a few
yards distant. _ _

More singular facts have come to light. It is thought that
another person may be arrested on suspicion of being an
accomplice before or after the crimes.

A STORY ABOUT CAPTAIN WILLIAMS.
The late Captain E. P. Williams, of the Oneida, was
the commander of a detachment, the only one which
landed, of the force detailed for the naval attack on Fort
Sumter. The fort appeared to those on board of the ships
to slope from the ground inwardly, like any ordinary
heap of sand or •Jebris, and it was supposed that our gal-
lant
_tars would find it easy to climb up the slope and
carry the work by storm. But when the crews of the two
or three boats which followed the lead of Captain Wil-
liams had landed, they found that the inclination was
from the top inward, so that to climb it was physically
impossible. They were directly under the fire of the
muskets as well as the cannon of the garrison, and had
no choice but to surrender or be uselessly but-
chered. They were treated with great kindness by
the commander of the fort, Colonel Elliot, of Charleston
a gentleman well known and esteemed in Boston, who
permitted them to send for clothing and money, and
carried his chivalrous courtesy so far as even to permit
one of the officers in whose trunk had, by accident, come
off the signal-book of the fleet to return it. The prisoners
were soon after sent to Columbia, S. C., where the officers
who were allowed to send for money as they needed it,
were for the most part comfortable, but about this time i
was determined by the confederates to hold Captain (then
Lieutenant) Williams, and his friend and fellow-prisoner,
Lieutenant Porter, as hostages for two officers of the
confederate navy, then under detention or on trial for
piracy in New York ; and the two former were removed
from their fellow-officers, who were all in one room
of the jail, and chained by the legs together in
a small room adjoining the former, for a considerable
period. While there an amusing incident occurred, well
calculated to lighten their captivity. A surgeon, one of
the prisoners' who had been released and had reached New
York, sent to his friends from thence some large pack-
ages of such things as he well knew them chiefly to need,
such as canned meats; and fruit, books, and the like. The
two hostages took turns in peeping through the keyhole
and gloating over the treasures as their friends gradually
brought them to light, and finally received as their share
of the spoil some books and cans of quahaugs. These
cans they at once proposed to return and ex-
change them for books, but their comrades obsti-
nately and to' them nnaccountably sent them
back. They felt no special hankering for
quahaugs, but they had plenty of time, whatever else
they might lack, and Captain Williams soon took his
jackknife and opened one of the cans. _ " Why, this is a
Yankee trick," he at once exclaimed "there are no
quahaugs here, nothing but some liquid." On with-
drawing his knife, however, he noticed the scent of that
liquid and discovered it to be whiskey, which the two
captives were sailors enough to appreciate. While at
Fort Sumpter, Colonel Elliott took Captain Williams
about the fort, and shewed him that there was but one
place where a man could get in, even if unopposed, but
at this point two or three men could successfully resist a
host.—Boston, Advertiser.

IlJessrs. Newton, Chambers, and Co. invited
tenders for the erection of fifty new cottages at Thorn-
cliffe, when sixteen proposals came in, ranging from
£5,420 to £2,421. The difference bet Ween the highest and
lowest tenders was actually greater than the sum for
which the work has been let.
A "01.1.r:CQNDI7pTED REyOLUTIONTST.—A. droll
incident is related by the Univrrs in connection with the
recent military pronunciamento at Lisbon, When, at
an early hour of the morning, Marshal Sqldanha, after his
brief combat with the troops, who for a time resisted the
forces, entered the Palace in full uniform, he was received
by the King, who was awaiting_ him. His Majesty, in
the first instance, begged the Marshal would not make
any noise so as to awaken the Queen, who was asleep, and
then he evinced a disposition to approve all that had been
done.

AUSTRIAN AFFAMS.—Accounts from Vienna state
that the German party are appeased, and that they no
longer fear MM. Beust and Potocki will compromise their
rights for the sake of propitiating the Czechs. Some days
ago a meeting of the chief members of the German party
was held at Vienna to settle what course the party should
pursue under existing circumstances. It was declared that
unity should prevail among all the Germans of Austria,and
that they should keep firm possession of the territory which
was decreed to them by the fundamental laws of 1869.
The Assembly objected to a Federal Constitution being
given to the Empire, and disallowed the claim of the
ohemian Crown. The examination of the Gallician
question was to be deferred until the new Diet of Galicia
had met. The complete abolition of the Concordat was
called for, and a decrease in the army expenses ad-
vocated.
