TO THE EDITOR OF THE SIIN.

Sia,—Might I ask the favour of a few lines of space
to contradict a report which is going the round of
the press, and is likely to do me very considerable
iljury. It is•; to the effect that all my paraphernalia
in its transit,from Manchester was destroyed in the fire
at Camden on Tuesday night. Most fortunately for
me the report is utterly untrue, and must have arisen
among those of my friends who seem anxious to
crown me as the Fire King. The luggage trucks arrived
a few hours after the fire broke out, otherwise that which
is now an amusing fiction would have been to me a
sad reality. Every article of my new fittings, every new
piece of apparatus, and every new trick which I have
prepared, will be duly prosincod at the Standard Theatre
on Monday ntxt.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant,
JOHN HENRY ANDERSON,
Wmard of the North.

was fully sustained to the end. The sport was wound up

THE HANGING OF THREE :NEGROES IN LOUISVILLE
BY THE Mon —The .Louisville Journal of May 15, gives
a more detailed account of the ha aging by a mob of three .
negroes charged with the murder of the Joyce family,
in that place, several months ago ; after they had been
tried and found not guilty on eviiienee which judge and
lawyers say rendered a verdict of guilty impossible. On
the night following the trial a rroob attacked the gaol
where the negroes were. A deiverate onslaught was
made, the prison fence was broken,. and the large crowd
made to the door ; they were resisted. but rushing to the
artillery building, they got a cam-ion, loaded it, and
pointed it against the gaol door. trnder these circum-
stances the officials in charge found tOtemselves forced to
the painful measure of delivering up the negroes.
Tbree of the prisoners being deity ered up, a razor
was given to the fourth in the `gaol (Jack, the
property of Mr. Samuels, of Buliit county), and
ie cut his throat, severing the Jul ;ular vein and
windpipe, and producing instant. death. The
wound Wai of the most horrible character, and a more
ghastly spectacle was scarcely ever witnessed than the
dead body when it was brought to the yz.v.d, and exposed
to the view of the crowd. Ropes were oixtained and the
Hoc other negroes marched off to the Court Ho se-square. At
the west-end, George, the slave of Mr. iiamuels, was
hanged upon a tree, amid the-hooting and .execrations of
the multitude. The other two were then marcihed through
the square, and near Fifth-street wereldienise executed.
One of them, the slave of Mr. Brown, , osotested his
innocence, and pleaded piteously to be relit ased. His
agony of mind and sufferings were very in tynse. Mr.
Pendleton's Bill, the one who was the State
's evidence
in the case, was the last one executed. Fires were
kindled under the suspended bodies, but the y were not
consumed. Large numbers of persons lingers d about the
scene of this.awful tragedy until a late hour. The rioters
having wreaked their vengeance upen the,
Wictiuw, ap-
peared more-awe-stricken than exultant.
