EXECUTION AT EXETER.—Grant was executed
this morning for the murder of a boy named Bobbier. Six
thousand persons. were present, and were very orderly.
The culprit was remarkably firm, and shook hands with
Calcraft. The bolt was drawn at six minutes past eight.
The body struggled slightly.
A REMARKABLE BULLETIN.—In Fredonia, New
York, the Health Board, in order to stir the people to
action with regard to cleaning up, have posted the follow-
ing notice :—" The cholera is coming ! By order of the
committee."
We lately gave an account of the coolie trade
between Macao and South America, and told how
the men were obtained, and their fate after reach-
ing their destination. We mentioned that the most
appalling tragedies often followed on the kidnap-
ping of these unfortunates, from the desperate at-
tempts made by them to seize on the ship during
the passage. An instance has lately come to light
which illustrates very strongly the desperate extre-
mities to which they are prepared to go in the hope
of relief. The Napoleon Canevero sailed from
Macao on March 8, with a crew of 40 men and 663
coolies. An attempt was made by the coolies to
poison the ship's officers, who seized the ringleaders
and flogged them. There were 200 of the Chinese
banded in this conspiracy, their object being to cap-
ture the ship. The day after leaving a rush was
made to overpower the crew, who, being armed
and prepared, shot thirty. The deck.sa

was fine the long boat was baled out, and the other

the crew were placed in her. Both boats kept
