MASSACRE OF MISSIONARIES.
The Journal du Havre has the following ;—" The
journals from the Sandwich Islands bring numerous
and gloomy details of the massacre of an entire com-
munity of Protestant missionaries settled in Colum-
bia. For more than ten years this colony composed
of members distinguished in the society of American
missions, for their zeal, laboured under the direction
of the Rev. Dr. Whiteman, for the intellectual and
religious culture of the Cayouses, one of the most
ferocious and most ignorant of the Indian tribes of
the river Columbia. Many times already had threats
of a disquieting nature proved the ingratitude of this
people towards their benefactors, but still hoping that
a higher degree of instruction would gradually do
away with the perverse instincts of savage life, the
Rev. Mr. Whiteman had peaceably continued his
work, neglecting even to take such precautions as or-
dinary prudence dictates in the midst of actual and
permanent danger. Meanwhile, dysentery broke out
at Waiilatpou, the chief place of the tribe, where,
among the Indians only, it made rapid
and cruel ravages. In his capacity of
physician, Dr. Whiteman was surrounded by
a crowd of sick, who implored him to employ for
their cure the supernatural power, with which they
said he was endowed. The malady was at its highest
point of intensity, almost all the sick died, and the
ICayouses imagined that, instead of remedies, the mis-
, sionaries administered poison to them, in order to
destroy the tribe and gain possession of its territory.
Some, convinced of the integrity of the pastor, com-
batted this horrible suspicion, and proposed to test the
effect of the medicaments upon three persons, two of
whom should be ill and one in perfect health ; but all
three, as if by a fatality, were carried off by the dis-
ease, and the tribe then resolved, in a moment of
general rage, to put all the missionaries to death.
At two hours after mid day the Indians arrived,
one by one, at the mission, with an air of calm, and
under various pretexts, having arms concealed under
their cloaks. Dr. Whiteman was employed in teach-
ing the children, while his colleagues were occupied,
some in study and others in domestic cares. The
ladies were assembled in a large room, where they
taught the native girls to read and sew. W hen the
Indians found themselves in sufficient numbers to exe-
cute their atrocious project, they suddenly surrounded
all parts of the establishment, and throwing them-
selves upon their unfortunate victims, some with
hatchets, others with pistols, soon turned the house
of God into a horrible slaughter house. The Doctor
received a ball in the centre of his breast and the blow
of a hatchet on the head; he had just strength enough
to drag himself to a sofa when he breathed his last.
His wife, Mrs. Whiteman, was literally cut to pieces.
The other ladies and their children were about to
undergo a similar fate, when a voice from among the
Indians cried, " Pity the innocent," and they were
spared. It has since become known that the fury of
this savage horde was increased by the avowal of a
Mr. Rogers, whose life the Cayouses promised to
spare, if he confessed the treason of his superior. Ter-
rified at the prospect of death, this missionary re-
counted that it was true that Dr. Whiteman
wished to poison them, in order to give their
territory to the Americans ; that his intention,
distinctly expressed in a council, was to give them
a powerful dose of poison, which would carry them
all off at once ; but that, by the advice of Mr.
Spalding, it had been resolved to poison them gra-
dually, and that this was the cause of the mortality.
After this melancholy evidence Mr. Rogers was
allowed to go free ; but an Indian, in the confusion
seeing him in a corner, discharged his gun at him,
his death being thus caused by the very act which had
aggravated the fate of his companions. Another mis-
sionary made similar avowals, adding that Mrs.
Whiteman was in concert with her husband, which
was doubtless the reason of the pity granted to the
other females not being extended to her. The Cay-
°uses asked this man if he were for their party or for
the Americans ? He replied that he was for the In-
dians, and that he hated his companions ' • upon which
the Indians asked him to prove the truth of his words
by killing the son of his chief, who was before them
at the moment, at the same time putting a loaded
pistol into his hand. The missionary hesitated a mo-
ment, pulled the trigger, and the young Whiteman
fell dead at his feet.
Of the fifteen members of the mission who were
left extended in their blood, four still lived after the
carnage; these the Indians had struck less cruelly,
believing them to be less guilty.
As soon as Mr. Abernethy, governor of Columbia,
received intelligence of this dreadful event, he sent a
report to the legislative council of Oregon, and ob•
tamed immediate authority to levy 500 volunteers, to
punish the tribe of the Cayouses. In a few days from
the departure of the above intelligence, Captain Lee
was to put himself at the head of-this expedition, and
doubtless ample vengeance would be taken at Wail-
latpou. But vengeance is less an object than to
prevent this sad example being followed by the
neighbouring tribes among whom the Society of Mis-
sionaries have founded numerous establishments
without gaining the sympathy of the people, or
bringing about a reform sufficiently deep-rooted to
prevent cause for continually fearing a return to the
ferocity of savage life. We are assured that the
Hudson's Bay Company has, on its part, sent a con-
siderable reinforcement to Walla-Walla. The ques-
tion is, whether they will arrive soon enough to
prevent the recurrence of such a misfortune.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
Sin,—ln your valuable paper of the 14th, you put a
question respecting railway signals, which appears to
me not of very difficult solution.
I think the easiest mode for passengers in a railway
carriage, to communicate with the guard, would be
through a speaking tube ; a mouthpiece attached to an
elastic tube should be fixed in each carriage, and a cer-
tain number attached to it; the tube should be connected
between one carriage and another in the same manner
as the feed-pipe of an engine is to the tender, and be
continuous to the guard's seat. Any person in the train
wishing to communicate with him has only to call the
number on the mouth-piece, and speak what he has to
say; the guard will then know whether it is necessary
to come to the carriage where the person is, or to com-
municate with the engine-driver; which he can do by
striking a bell or a steel bar, which would give a certain
note corresponding with a similay pne, on. the tender.
Therel shOuld be several bais, each giving different
sounds, and-on each should be engraved what is intended
for the engine-driver to observe, when he hears a cer-
tain bar struck by the guard. It appears to me that by
this means would be attained the desideratum you men-
tion. Q. E. D.

HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO
SCOTLAND.
(From the Court Circular.)
BALMORAL, SUNDAY.—Her Majesty and his Royal
Highness Prince Albert attendcd Divine service this
morning at the parish church at Cratchie.
Her Majesty was attended by the Countess of
Gainsborough, Viscountess Canning, Lord John Rus-.
sell, and the rest of the royal suite.

THE QUEEN ON LOCHNAGAR.
SaTußnay.—Every act of Our
gracious Sovereign among us here on Deeside in-
creases, if possible, the feeling of [Admiration with
which she is universally regarded. The Queen out-
strips most "ladies nursed in pomp and pleasure" in
activity, energy, and undaunted spirit, while queenly
dignity and womanly grace characteriSe every act of
her existence. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, ac-
companied by some ladles and gentlemen in waiting,
set out this morning at nine o'clock to visit the
summit of Lochnagar. Much. as lly.ron's. beautiful
poem has done to surround this mountain with a halo
of romance to such as never climbed its
" Wastes that dern and dreary lie"—
to those who love the grandeur of nature and stand
upon the cloven summit, the poetic picture is forgotten
in the solemn wonders of the reality. Its great height,
being the highest of the more easterly of the Gram-
pians, and the magnificent prospect that is unfolded
to the spectator, make it well worthy a visit; but
the tremendous sublimity of the hill itself presents a
scene that fills the mind with such awe and astonish-
ment, that for a time everything else is forgotten, and
we gaze upon the rugged precipices as if they were
the ruins of a depopulated world.
Iler Majesty chose a route seldom taken by visi-
tors--" through the pine-covered glade," in the valley
of the Garwald, a small stream that takes its rise at
the top of the mountain and falls into the Dee about
half a mile below Craig Clunie. The route, though
rather circuitous, is the most pleasant that can be
chosen. In the course of the stream arc two rapids,
in which the fall is very considerable, especially in
the upper ; the little brawling torrent leaps from
ledge to ledge down a rocky declivity overhung by
birches and pines, where a scene of much natural
beauty has been enhanced by the efforts of art under
the guidance of an excellent taste. On a promon-
tory that faces the waterfall a seat has been erected,
from which a fine view is obtained of the fairy imita-
tion of the grandeur of a mountain torrent invading
the umbrageous solitudes of the forest, and, from its
foaming basin, dancing downwards over little cas-
cades, and twirling eddies here and there at the foot
of the rock, it makes, as one might imagine—
" Hyblean murmurs of poetic thought,"
all the way till it bounds in another miniature cata-
ract from rock to rock down the valley.
Up the burn side the scene continues to be very
-pleasant, but the trees on the rocks became gradually
fewer and less verdant. The cran and black-berries
give place to the heather, and the view opens up of
the wild glen between Locknagar and Bullock Bowie.
The royal party were accompanied by two guides
and the Princes game-keepers. Her Majesty and
the ladies rode upon Highland ponies, which can be
with little difficulty taken, and by a circuitous way
ridden to the top of the mountain.
On the summit the scene is one of the sternest
sublimity. On every side, except towards the east,
the prospect is bounded by mountains that raise their
heads to Heaven, like the fortification of the Titans,
some bearing the -eternal snow on their hoary heads,
while down the valley many a sweet spot, em-
bosomed in woods and shadowed by hills, relieves
the gloomy splendour of the vast prospect. At
times the white fog is to be seen creeping over
the tops of the mountains and shrouding them
gradually from the view till the spectator himself
becomes enveloped in a cold mist on the cloud-capt
precipice. Such was, we regret to say, the fortune
of her Majesty while she stood surveying " the steep
frowning glories" that meet the eye on the very sum-
mit—the Royal party were overtaken by a storm, and
surrounded in a cloud of mist, so that no individual
was visible to another at a few feet distance, and the
consequence was, that they were entirely drenched
with wet. They were necessarily obliged to content
themselves with the scene immediately at their feet ;
but that of itself is sufficient recompense for a longer
and even more laborious journey on two sides of the
hill. The summit rises in a sheer precipice of 1,300
feet from dark gloomy gorges, in which are outspread
black melancholy lochs, so deep that popular opinion
holds them to be fathomless and full of muddy " gar"
that characterises their denomination of the moun-
tain. One would scarcely be astonished, on gazing
upon them, to see the fabled Prometheus chained to
some rugged ledge, with the eagle of Jupiter gnaw-
ing at the Titan's vitals. While standing here,
" Among the grisly cliffs that guard
The infant rills of Highland Dee,"
the feeling of the spectator is no holiday feeling; it
is no place for an everyday tourist, who sets out a
picknicking amid its wild magnificence. The voice-
less solitude pours solemnity and adoration into the
heart, and he alone can feel its influence who can say
with Coleridge—
" And when I rose I found myself in prayer."
On such a place mighty truths are told, and it is on
such a place that the German transcendentalist should
stand when revolving the beautiful mysticism of his
pantheistical creed, for there he will learn the
difference between God and Nature—between the
simple grandeur of revelation and Christianity, and
the philosophical dream of a poetical mythologian—
" Man loves amid the vallies,
But he prays upon the hills."
Such a spot was worthy of a visit from our true-hearted
Queen ; and we would fain indulge a hope that,
when far away from Deeside and the loyal hearted
people whose love she has exalted to a chivalrous
devotion, like that of the days of old, she will at times
recall with a pleasant memory
" The crags that are wild and majestic:
The steep frowning glories of dark Lochnagar."
The royal party arrived from Lochnagar about
four o'clock.
Lord John Russell is at present on a visit to her
Majesty; he arrived last night from Perth, and drove
out this afternoon.—Post.

called the attention of the Court to the present system
of using deodorising fluids in the sewers. Ile believed
though 'these flaidS caused a temporary cessation of the

more offensive smell than before existed. lie recom-
mended that a committee should be appointed to con-
sider the practicability of carrying off the cffensive
effluvium by means of shafts or chimneys. Mr. Alder-
man Laurence-admitted that the deodorising fluids de-
served the censure which the worthy Deputy had passed
upon them, but he was strom:ly opposed to the erection
of chimneys throughout the City. No doubt the sewers
must be well cleansed, but 'he should recommend a good
system of flushing, such as had been adopted by the
Metropolitan Commissioners.—(Hear, hear.)—Mr. Con-
dar moved the appointment of a committee to consider
whether some additional remuneration should not be
given to Messrs. Paw, Hayward, and Tichner, for the
greatly increased labour .which those gentlemen had
undertaken in procuring the passing of the new Bill

DEPARTURE 'OF THE STATE PRISO.
FOR CLONMEL.
DUBLIN, SEPT. 19.—Yesterday evening, ab(
, o'clock, the Governor of Kilmainham Gaol re(
' orders to have the State prisoners in readiness f
parture at half-past eight o'clock by the
Southern and Western Railway. The order was at
once communicated to the prisoners, who proceeded
toneck up their luggage, &e. Soon after the arrival
eof last train (quarter-past eight o'clock) from
Lim rick, considerable bustle prevailed at the ter-
mind; a carriage and eight horses were put into the
_luggage vans, and,.
aa special engine with three car-
:rives (two of them first class); -was placed on the
down line. About two hundred constabulary with
fixed bayonets were placed in order outside the ter-
minus door and along the platform inside. At a
quarter past nine o'clock, one of the prison vans drove
up, when the police were ordered to " stand to their
arms." A number of the metropolitan police were
stationed about the place—each man having a loaded
pistol capped and cocked. Some cars drove up at the
time, and one of the drivers called out for a porter to
take in " Smith O'Brien's luggage." Several trunks
(the luggage of all the prisoners) were handed in,
and in a few. moments the van was opened, and • the
first prisoner, T. B. M'Manus, Esq., was escorted by
several policemen into one of the carriages. Smith
O'Brien came next. He had a cloak thrown loosely
over his shoulders, looked very well, and walked with
his usual firm step. On alighting from the van he
took off his hat, and remained uncovered until the
train departed.
Mr. T. F. Meagher was the next prisoner, he was
recognized by one or two persons present, and shook
them by the hand. He held his cloak on his arm and
appeared in good spirits.
Mr. M. IL Leyne came next. His appearance
betokened ill-health, but he walked firmly and with
perfect composure.
Mr. O'Donohoe was the last of the prisoners to
enter, and all having been seated in a first-class
carriage, the train was got in readiness without delay.
The prisoners were escorted from Kilmainham b3r-
Superinten.dent Selwood, Inspectors Tydd, Stokes,
and Carmody, and four constables. In the carriages
along with the prisoners were placed fifty consta-
bulary, -with fixed bayonets, under the command of
Sub-Inspector Gernon. Major Brownrigg and Mr.
Fitzgerald, of the constabulary, were present at the
railway, and superintended the arrangements. Owing
to the shortness of the notice for the departure, and the
secrecy observed throughout the whole affair, there
were very few persons present.
Beside the above State prisoners, three men named
Tyme, Stack, and Orchard—parties accused of having
taken part in the affair at Ballingarry, were brought
from Newgate in, charge of Mr. Frederick Bourne,
the deputy-governor of that prison. These persons
were put into the third-Class carriage, guarded by
constabulary. The arrangements for the departure of
the train having been complete at nine o'clock it started
a few minutes after that hour.
We understand that the destination of the train was
'Tipperary, and that the carriage and horses brought
down is for the conveyance of the prisoners from
. that town to Clonmel. The prisoners (with the
exception of Mr. Leyne) looked remarkably well,
and judging from their appearance, they seemed in
cheerful spirits.

THE COMMISSION.
The Judges all leave town this afternoon for
Clonmel. The Commission will open unlike ordinary
assizes for the county at large. For ordinary pur-
poses the county has been divided into two ridings,
the assizes for the north riding being held at Nenagh,
for the south riding at Clonmel, with separate grand
and petit juries. It has been decided that this divi-
sion of the county does not apply to the case of
special commissions, and the grand and petit panels
will both be returned for the entire county.
Mr. Bull and Sir Colman O'Loghlen are to appear
for Mr. Meagher; Mr. Henn, Q.C., and Mr. White-
side, for Mr. Smith O'Brien. It is said that the
Attorney-General claims Mr. Henn's services for the
Crown, and insists that the retainer for Mr. O'Brien
shall be returned.
THE PERIPATETIC PARLIAMENTS.
The Society for Promoting the Annual Sittings of.
the Imperial Parliament in Ireland for transacting
Irish business, met yesterdhy, at eight o'clock iesa., at
the Committee-room, at the Northumberland-build-
ings, when the chair was taken by Mr. Napier, in the
absence of Lord William Fitzgerald.
Letters were read from Lord 'William Fitzgerald,
apologising for his absence, and various letters con-
taining advice as to the proceedings of the society,
and suggesting other matters. Several other letters
were read, proposing alterations and amendments of
the proposed scheme, the substitution of other plans,
and enlargement of the sphere of operations, by sub-
stituting a variety of remedial measures. The sub-
joined resolution was, in consequence, submitted, and
unanimously adopted :
" Resolved—That none of these suggestions be
entertained or discussed, the'committee being pledged
to confine themselves to the high object of endeavour-
ing to secure a periodical sitting of the Imperial
Parliament in Dublin, for the consideration of Irish
affairs."
The following new members were proposed and
admitted, C. E. Walker, J.P., D.L. ; Sharman Craw-
ford, Esq., IMP.; Hugh O'Reilly, Esq, J.P. ; J. S.
Hamilton, Esq. ; W. Stern, Esq. ; Chichester Bolton,
Esq., J.P. ; Augustin Barton, Esq. ; R. Grattan,
Esq.; Sir Richard Baker; T. M. Gresham, Esq. ;
P. Kearney, Esq., J.P. ; William Radcliffe, Esq.;
Samuel Smith, Esq., J.P.'; Thomas Rotherham, Dl.,
J.P.; Peter Nugent Fitzgerald, Esq. • Toriano
L'Estrange, Esq., J.P.; the Editor of the Leinster
Express; the Editor of the Meath Herald; James
Burke,. Esq., Barrister at- law; George Nesbitt,
Esq. ; James M‘Glashan, Esq.
" Resolved—That it is desirable that the public
mind should be extensively and accurately informed
as to the character of our project, and that the mis-
representations and hostility of a portion of the press
should be fairly and temperately replied to.
" Resolved—That sub-committees be appointed to
set forth severally, and more at length than in our
brief prospectus and Statements—first, the difficulty
supposed to be in the way of the accomplishment of
the measure ; second, the advantages to be anticipated
from it, and to report the result of their examination
to the society."
Thanks having been voted to the chairman, the
meeting separated.
THE " GODLESS" COLLEGES.
The Evening Herald of last night announces that
Dr. Ennis who was sent to Rome by Dr. Murray,
the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, for the purpose
of inducing the Pope to rescind his condemnation of
the Irish Colleges, has failed in his mission, antithat the Sovereign Pontiff has solemnly re-affirmed
the condemnation of the Queen's Colleges, pro-

MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Thomas Curtis, the
collector of the Salford rates, was this morning brought
up before William Jankinson, Esq., and a full bench of
magistrates. Mr. Charles Gibson, town clerk,
it , ap-
peared to proSecute, and said that was his intention to
proceed against the prisoner for obtaining money -under
false pretences, and not for embezzlement, and in order
to enable hirato complete his.case, asked for a remand for
ten days, which was at once consented to by Mr. Hard-
in., who appeared for the prisoner. Curtis was then -
admitted to bail, himself in 2001., and two sureties in
100/., and liberated. The Court was crammed.
SANITAIIT IMPROVEUENTS.--- Several meetings were
held yesterday, in different parishes in the metropolis,
for the purpose of adopting measures for improving the
condition of the sewers, and confining obnoxious efan-
vium, arising from the trap gratings in the streets of
London to the subterranean courses of the drains.
Medical nip have given it as their opinion that fevers
and other diseases are engendered by this abominable
nuisance. One woull really be led to imagine, such an
absence is there of. common sense in the practice, that
trap-gratings in the streets of crowded neighbourhoods
were designed expressly to produce the mischief of which
the public so universally complain: ' '
