aim, while it has not been conducted according to any
system, legal or otherwise. It is altogether a bodge-
pi:lgo' affair ; and the result will be a ponderous blue-
book of evidence, from which the public in general
-turn in disgust—it will never be read. Our de-
sire is, and we are certain it is shared by the influ-
ence and intelligence of the town, that the commis-
si mere should ascertain as fully as possible the causes
of the rioting, and then take evidence as to the most
effectual means by which a recurrence of such semi-
barbarous conduct should be in future guarded against."
SEPOY ATROCITIES.

The Evening Post quotes from the Carlow Sem-
Gaol the following paragraph respecting the fate of
a lady fur many years well known to the citizens of
Dublin. Indeed, it may be asked, who has visited
the Irish capital at any per of during the last 25
years or more that has not heard of the beautiful,
but somewhat eccentric Mrs. Farquharson, the wife
of Col. Farquharson, late of the 7th Fusiliers :
" Many of our readers will recollect Mrs. Farquhar-
on, the wlle of Ca. Farquharson, of the 7th Fusi-
lieni, during her residence in Dublin same few years
sine*, as the spirited driver of a phaeton drawn by a
pair of beautiful pieball ponies. Her husband com-
manded another regiment on his return from Cities.
She joined him in India with her chiliren, and by
letters lately received in England it appears that
during the late rebellion the Sepoys—the high-caste
pet soldiers of the East India Company—burnt her
alive, with her family, after committing the most
frightful and revolting atrocities on her person."
The Post adds that a private letter has been 're-
ceived in Dublin, giving. auother version of the fate
of the hapless lady, which was still more horrible
than that above mentioned. The statement is that
after suffering a series of indescribable barbarities,
she was paced alive between two boards, and cut
through with a saw !
