THE Ex-KING OF HANOVER, it is reported, will
shortly leave for England. The Vienna papers teem with
his I.•ajesty's protest against the absorption by Prussia of
his territory. -
It is said that the statements to the effect that
the Admiralty have no men in reserve for any ships which
may be in commission are unfounded.
THE SHENANDOAH.—After many vicissitudes the
celebrated Confederate cruiser has passed into the hands of
the Sultan of Zanzibar, having been just purchased by him
from Messrs. Stoddart Brothers, of Liverpool.
STEPHENS, THE FENIAN.—The following is fron
speech of the Chief Organiser at a Fenian picnic, on
the 24th of September :—" It is my deliberate intention to
go to Ireland this year, and let no man be mistaken in this.
Some men have said if I were in earnest I would not have
made it public, but there are men who, either by their
treachery or their blunders, made it a necessity on me to do
so, and if I were a free agent I would not do so. I choose
this course only as the least of two evils forced on me, be:-
cause, if 1 did not make a definite statement, I could not
hold the men in Ireland together, they have been so much
meddled with ; nor the men in this country either ; their •
complaints have reached me, and it is therefore that I am
forced to say that I will undoubtedly be in Ireland this year,
for I fully believe;-eveu if 1 do not -go over, they could not
be held in over there, and the fight would go on without
me. If I thought it would be of any gain to delay the
action I would do so and risk all my popularity ; but I can-
not, for they are determined on fighting this year, and I
am as fully determined on being with them, come weal or
woe. No matter what others say, take my word I will be
in Ireland, and then the people will strike a blon for
liberty."
VESSEL SUNK IN THE CHANNEL.—About half-
past 10 on Thursday night Capt. Mortleman, of the
South-Eastern Railway Company's steamboat Albert Ed-.
ward, then lying at the new pier, Folkestone, thought he
heard shouting from seaward, and shouting in return he
made out the distinct reply " Shipwreck." A boat was of
course lowered and sent off, and presently a captain and a
portion of the crew of a vessel were brought on board, who
after being refreshed were put ashore. Their statement is
that they belonged to the Star of Ceylon, 399 tons, which
left London on Wednesday, bound for Point de Gallo with
a general cargo. At half-past 7on Thursday night, when
a little to tho north-east of the South Foreland, they were
run into on the port bow by the Spanish steamer Velan-
quez, Don Jose Vibos master, from Malaga to London with
wine and. dried fruit. The Star of Ceylon filled rapidly,
and the crew scrambled on board the Spaniard ; last of all
the captain went to the fore-yard, and from there dropped
to the steamboat's forecastle. Within five or eight minutes
of the collision the Star of Ceylon sank ; and the Spania -d
was apparently so badly damaged that she ran direct for
the shore. The crew of the Star of Ceylon lowered a
.Spanish boat, and the captain and 12 of the men got in,
with two of the Spanish crew, and rowed away for Dover.
Attempting to land there the boat was nearly swamped in
the surf. Their shouts for aid were answered from the
Admiralty-pier, but no boat came off, and so they put off
to sea again, and made for Folkestone. Not knowing the
entrance to the harbour, or the amount of surf, they were
afraid to attempt to land ; but their shouts were hoard and
assistance given them. The persons who came ashore
were :—Capt. Matthews, —• Pitt, mate ; Samuel Phillips,
second mate ; James Henry, carpenter ; Henry Linkson,
steward ; John Merrifield, John Pike, William Tir_.l2-,
John Pollard, George Bell, William Turner, Riublartctierndin, Valentin Garcia, and Jose Paredo, the
ph areved to have
be-
longing to the Spaniard's crew. Rudol

got into Dover Harbour.

account of the prevailing alarm.
ilin It transpired that there
combination amongst the workmen in the
had been a,
employment of Mr. Shaw, a wireworker, to prevent a
man named Shields from working ; and on Tuesday
they resorted to open vlolence, seriously assaulted
Mr. Shaw's groom, the prisoner striking him over
the eye with a bludgeon ; and they used the
foulest throats to Mr. Shaw, and intimated that he
could bo " polished off." A remand was granted in order
that the whole of the gang might be apprehended. Mr. A.
Smith, the clerk, in stating that tho bench refused bail,
said, "If the bench were to bail you after these threats,
and there were to be loss of life or property, what would
the public say ? On an ordinary occasion I would have
advised the magistrates to grant bail, but after the late
horrible event they would be afraid to do so. If the work-
ing men of Sheffield see that the magistrates act severely,
as though we were going to have martial law established
here—for it really comes to that—they must blame them-
selves, and not the bench." With regard to the outrage in
New llereford-street, it is in contemplation to offer a very
large reward (£1,000) fur criminatory information. The
executive of the organised trades met on Thursday, and
took steps to vindicate their association from any compli-
city in the attempted assassination. The manufacturers
aro going to establish a protective association.
