(PY MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH.)
THE BROADSTONE TRAGEDY.

DUBLIN, FRIDAY MOM/ING.

A discovery, which it is hoped may lead to still
further results, was yesterday made at the Broad-
stone Terminus shortly after 12 o'clock. A hampt r
being required for some purposes in connection with
the works, one of the foremen proceeded to a store
in the locomotive department, and in one of the
hampers discovered a bag containing a quantity of
silver, amounting to 431. 17s. 6d. The bag, and
even the running strings, were dripping wet,
and could only have been a very short time—
probably not more than a few minutes—in the
position in which it was found. The police
entertain no doubt whatever that the bag was one
of those used by Mr. Little to hold his money, and
the suspicion before entertained that the murderer
was a person connected with the railway has re-
ceived forcible confirmation. There was a large
tank of water immediately under where the bag
was found, and also some butts in one store filled
with water ; but there was no trace or mark of
spots such as would have been made in lifting. the
bag out of these. The probability is, that it was
carried in a pail or some other receptacle to avoid
observation.

REDPATIFS HORSES.

The following were sold by auction by Messrs. Tat-
tersall, by order of the assignees of Leopold Redpath, a

A brown mare (has been ridden back), 32 guineas.
A brown gelding, 78 guineas; a brown ditto, 75
guineas (havo been constantly driven together).
A brown pony (has been driven in harness), 17 guineas.

CHIMP LIGHT FOR ALL ! - THE
PEOFLE'S LAMM.

Some of our most valuable inventions are of so simple a
character that the only wonder about them seems to be
that they " were not found out before." Mr. Nibbs, of
Bakowell, Derbyshire, has invented a lamp, destined by
its simple mechanical construction to supersede not only
the French moderator, but all other lamps of a similar
character, and suited, by its cleanliness and economy, to
the wants of all classes. The Patent Oxydate Lamp (here
alluded to) is provided with a very simple condensing ap-
paratus, by which a largo quantity of atmospheric air is
collected and supplied to the flame, which draws from it
that proportion of oxygen necessary to effect perfect com-
bustion. The result is a perfectly white and steady flame,
without the nuisance of smoke or smell, sufficiently power-
ful and steady to allow the copying of collodion photo-
graphs at night, and is very serviceable for microscopic
examinations. This lamp will burn no less than eight
kinds of lamp oil now in ordinary use, and two of its
greatest merits are its extreme cheapness and durability,
without getting out of order. It consumes about five
ounces of oil in six hours, while diffusing a light equal to
that of six candles. The invention has been applied to
lamps of all characters and designs, from the most elabo-
rate specimens for the nobleman's mansion to the plain
strong brass mechanic's lamp at 6s. 6d. Omitting the
condensing apparatus, and we have the Cottage Lamp,
supplying a want long been felt of a good, cheap, and easily
managed light for the cottager, and we have no hesitation
in stating that it is not likely to meet a rival—a strong
brass lamp to burn 10 hours can be had for a shilling !
The Crimean Lantern was invented by the same gentle-
man, and introduced to the notice of Government, who
employed it extensively during the war. It recommends
itself particularly for mills, warehouses, farm buildings,
stables, &c., and, from its neat appearance and cleanliness,
is well adapted as a safety light for bedrooms, for when
once lighted, it will burn through the longest night with-
out attention. . . _

As the evenings are already beginning to draw in, and
the demand for a really good and economical light will
soon become universal, this notice of Mr. Nibbs's inven-
tions will be quite a propos .—Bristol Advertiser.

The letters from Paris describe no alteration in the
money market, except that the monthly payment on
the last loan bad caused a tendency to an increased
demand.

Some discussion has been occasioned amongst the
shareholders of the Great Northern Railway by the
recent decline in the company's receipts. Daring the
last three weeks the aggregate 'ailing off has been 6,154/.,
compared with last year; and thus the increase on the
six months, over the corresponding period of 1855, is
reduced to 8,870/. _

SEur's BOAT WRECKED AND THREE A:EN DROWNED.—
Early yesterday morning, a mason, whowas working near
Pettycur Harbour, observed the deat body of a man
lying on the beach, and on making fu'ther search disco-
vered the body of another a little turtler to the west, and
of a third at the back of Pettycur. 4 pocket book con-
taining a schooner's papers, Si. in notes, and about ss.
in silver, with a bill on an Englishbank for 501., was
found on one of the bodies, which tuned out to be that of
the captain. From these papers it appeared that the
schooner to which the papers belongd was the Crescent,
of Inverkeithing, and the name of the captain, who be-
longed to the same place, was John sharp. The CreE cent
has been lying for a few days in Le',h roads, laden with
bark from Antwerp, and on Tuesdaythe captain went on
shore at Leith for orders. Undeterredby the stormy winds
he set out with two of the crew diring the night in a
small boat to return to his vessel ; but they appear to
have been unable, doubtless ou recount of the high
wind, to reach the vessel, and mate for Pettycur Har-
bour. Before, however, they oouldget into the harbour,
their boat was swamped by the heavy sea, and was
found yesterday morning completely shattered a little
to the west of Pettycur Harbour. The bodies were,
immediately on their discovery, coeveyed-to Kinghorn,
and a messenger despatched to Invsrkeithing to intimate
the melancholy occurrence. In tie course of the after-
noon the captain's brother arrived in Kinghorn, where
1
he identified the body. Captain Sharp was about 35
Years of age, and was unmarried. The other two sailors
were, apparently, one of them abut 20 and the other
about 30 years old, but their bodies have not yet been
identified.—Caledonian Mercury.
