THE LATE CATASTROPHE ON BOARD THE LONDON-
DERRY STEAMER.—The trial for manslaughter of Capt.
Johnstone and the mates of the steamer Londonderry
took place last week at Derry assizes, and, after a very
lengthened investigation, the jury acquitted the prisoners,
the judge stating that he fully concurred in the justness
of the verdict.

revolution began in the name of a Pope; but that
was the touchstone of what a Pope could or could not do.
The predecessors of the last Sovereign had been too cau-
tious to attempt the trial, and their power was measured
only by the misery entailed upon the people. The last
Sovereign was the first to risk the attempt, and wished to
stop when he discovered that he had revealed a terrible
truth, namely, the impotency of the Papal power to ren-
der the Italian nation free. independent, and glorious ;
he wished to withdraw from the work, but it was too late,
for Papacy had judged itself. It is hence that the down-
fall of Popery has been so near its glory; the glory of the
Papal power was the northern light that precedes the
darkness. We still hoped, but a system of reaction was
the answer that came from the Papal power. Reaction
fell, the Pope at first dissembled, saw the tranquillity of
the people, and fled ; and in his flight he bore with him

was said that General Whish's force would have to take a
fort called Chuneout, on its way up, where Narain Singh
was holding out. It was, however, expected to reach Lord
Gough's camp on the 17th ult.

Additional details had been received from Mooltan.
The bodies of Agnew and Anderson were found near the
place where they had fallen, and where they were buried
at the time by Affghan merchants, according to the rites
of their country.

FATAL DISPUTE.—A few evenings since, as two young
gentlemen—Mr. Hayden, of Carrick, and Mr. Prennan—
were travelling to the former place, a dispute arose on the
road, which led both to proceed to blows, when, in a fit of
momentary excitement, Hayden drew forth a poinard,
and plunged it into the heart of his companion, who ex-
pired on the spot. _

A portion of the Bombay column moved on the 2nd
Feb. in progress to join Lord Gough's camp. This con-

force as far as Ramnuggur, whence he will be sent to La-
hore. Lieut. Henry, of the 19th Regiment, and formerly
aide-de-camp to Lord Falkland. has charge of the Dewan.

James Simpson, who, it was believed, was implicated in
the numerous acts of incendiarism perpetrated in the
county of Down in the course of the winter, was found
guilty at the Carrickfergus Assizes of firing a haystack in
the county of Antrim on the 17th of January. He had
been tried previously at Downpatrick, and acquitted of a
similar charge. Judge Crampton sentenced the offender
to 10 years' transportation.

At Bombay Lord and Lady Falkland had a narrow es-
cape of their lives. Tney were out driving, when the

it or destroy it. It was destroyed.” [This document

During the confusion produced in the hospital quarters
of the army, by the discomfiture of the 14th Light Dra-

RIOT IN LONDONDERRY..--The Repealers, to the num-
ber of 3000, men, women, and children, assembled on
St. Patrick's day, with white and green banners, drums,
fifes. &c. The apprentice boys tore one of their flags to
ribbons, and the repealers being armed with daggers,
bayonets, and such weapons as could be easily concealed,
a furious affray took place, which would very likely have
led to fatal consequences, had not the mayor acted with
the greatest promptitude.
On Saturday evening a shot was fired into the ball of
Ardkeen rectory, Downpatrick. It is supposed to have
been intended for the rector, the Rev. Alexander Bullick,
who was in the act of paying some workmen at the time.
Fortunately, no serious injury resulted from this diabo-
lical attempt, as the ball took effect in the wall opposite
the side-light of the hall-door, where it entered. One of
the labourers, who was receiving payment at the time,
got a few pickles of shot in his face.
EMIGRATION PROM IRELAND.—Such is the tide for

The news from Ceylon, which comes down to the 16th

Auditor-General was to supply his place in his absence.

In Rournelia the cold was so intense that a number of

FEMALE BOLDNESS.—There has been severe fight-
ing at Caraccas between bodies of malcontents and the
constitutional forces, in which the latter were victorious.
A lady of the name of Maria Encarnacion Pirela, wife of a
respectable householder of San Carlos, exasperated by the
'
cruelty shown by the malcontents, tookh part in the action,
and, observing that, after more than two hours' firing, the
Constitutionalists were as far as ever from taking the
town, she seized a lighted torch, and, encouraging the
soldiers to follow her example, in the midst of a heavy
fire, rushed up to one of the houses occupied by the mal-
contents, and set fire to its thatch. 'Wounded in the leg
by a grape shot she has since been conveyed to the hospital.
LABUAN.—From Labuan we have advices to the 30th
of January. The sickly season seemed to have passed,
and the weather had become finer with the setting in of
the north-east monsoon. Some cases of fever and ague
still occurred among the natives, but they were altogether
slight. The Europeans who had suffered from it con-
tinued much debilitated. The Meander, which left the
island with Sir James Brooke in the beginning of Decem-
ber, had just returned. She had visited Balanbangan,
Sooloo, and the Spanish island of Mindanao (a penal set-
tlement of Manilla), but no 'pirates had been fallen in
with. During her cruise, the Mcauticr got Rolsore, but
apparently without sustaining damage. An impression
was entertained that the people on the Borneo coast
generally will henceforth give up wholesale piracy ; and a
favourable fact in connexion with the establishment of the
British flag in these seas is mentioned in the circumstance
of one of the Pangerans having interfered on behalf of ten
men, part of the native crew of a British brig wrecked at
Balanbangan, who had been taken by the Bajows, or sea
gypsies, and would have been sold as slaves. These men
the Pangeran forwarded to Labuan. Sir James Brooke
had recovered from his attack of fever, and in about a
week was to sail in the Nemesis for Sarawak, where he

EXECUTIONS.-At Roscommon, on Wednesday, James
Commons was executed for the murder of Major Mahon.
He penitently confessed, at the last, the justice of his
sentence. At the same time, Michael Scolly and his wife,
aged respectively sixty and fifty, were executed for the
wilful murder of Isabella Brennan, in March, 1848, by
first strangling her and then putting her in a basket, in
which she was conveyed by boat into the Shannon and
left there. They both acknowledged their guilt, though
at the time of their trial they most solemnly declared they
were innocent as an unborn child.

DREADFUL MURDER.—On Saturday night the house of
a man named Arnold, a tenant of Mr. Ormsby Gore, re-
siding on the lands of Leganormmer, in the parish of
Uloone and county of Leitrim, was attacked by an armed
party, who fired several shots through the windows,
whilst Arnold, his wife, child, and uncle, Robert Todd,
were eating their supper ; one of the shots took fatal ef-
fect upon the uncle, who instantly expired. It may be
recollected about twelve months since Mr. Lauder, the
agent of Mr. Gore, was compelled to eject several default-
ing tenants from this property, and to substitute in their
places a more respectable class of persons. Arnold was
among the latter.
ARREST OF " SIR CHARLES H. BENTINCK."—On
Wednesday, the individual who lately assumed the above
name in Dublin was arrested a short distance from Ath-
lone, in a cottage where he had taken range from the
constabulary, who got a clue to his whereabouts, after he
had been somewhat gneressfni in Athlone, where he had
obtained a variety of property under the name of the
Hon. Henry Monck. He is at present in custody of the
police at Athlone, and if the charges preferred against
him there cannot be sustained, he will be transmitted to
Dublin, as there is evidence against him in that city of
having obtained goods under false pretences. At Athlone
he represented himself as an officer in a dragoon regi-
ment. His real name has not transpired, but it is said
he is a native of England.
DISAFFECTION IN ULSTER.—Lord Londonderry has
addressed a remarkable circular to his Lordship's tenantry
in the norta. The Noble Marquess roundly rebukes the
tone adopted by certain Noble Lords at recent meetings
in Down and Antrim, adding the following emphatic
declaration :—" I have perhaps more right to my opinion
than many whom I address, as personally the burden will
fall heavier on me, and I was at first fully disposed to
resist it ; but, could I for one moment believe that the
advice tendered at the late meetings in Ulster would be
followed, and that not only resistance would be made, but
that it is proclaimed that it would take 50,000 if not
500,000 men to collect this Rate-in-Aid, I would not
only support the measure with all civil interest and power,
but as an old soldier 1 should consider myself bound to
enforce the law against my own tenants and adherents;
so firmly and irrevocably am I determined ever to uphold
my loyalty to the Sovereign power and the will of the
united Parliament."

" It is to lie hoped that no international question can now
arise which a government, confident in its own strength and

and upheld by their affections, to exhaust every resort of

" In the conduct of our foreign relations I shall conform to
these views, as I believe them essential to the best interests
and the true honour of the country."

His internal policy he shows will be of a paternal and
protective character. He says : _ _

" It shall he my study to recommend such constitutional
measures to Congress as may be necessary and proper to secure
encouragement and nrotection to the great interests of agricul-
ture, commerce, and manufactures; to improve our rivets and
harbours; to provide for the speedy extinguishment of the
public debt; to enforce a strict accountability on the part of
all officers of the government, and the utmost economy in all
public expenditures."
After taking the oath of office the President returned
into the capital, amidst prolonged and vociferous cheering.
We extract the following distressing intelligence from
the New York Evening Sun of the 7th March :
AWFUL MORTALITY ON SIIIP-BOARD.—The ship Liverpool,
Captain Eldridge. arrived at quarantine last night, from Liver-
pool. She left with 400 passengers, 40 of whom sickened and
died on the voyage, and many others are at present sick. The
health officers upon boarding her, pronounced it to be the
cholera. Captain Eldridge, his crew. and passengers, are all
detained at Quarantine. We have not learned positively that
this is the cholera. Should it he so. proper precautions
have been taken to prevent it spreading. The steam propeller
Sea Gull from Baltimore, which touched at the Delaware break-

water, reports that over one hundred of the British ship Cam-
bria's passengers (from Londonderry) hal died of the ship
fever. The Cambria is bound to Philadelphia. Ten children
and one adult have died of the measles on board the ship
Richard Cobden, which arrived last night from Liverpool.
THE TARIFF QUESTION.—We have received the'report
of the Committee of Ways and Means of the House of
Representatives at Washington, on the subject of the ta-
riff, but we cannot make room for it. In regard to manu-
factures of cotton from abroad, the committee think a
specific duty of from twenty-five to thirty per cent. on the
usual prices is necessary ; and the duty on woollens ought
to be between 30 and 50 per cent. specific. The result to
which the committee have arrived is, that medium duties,
between those provided by the present tariff and those of
the act of 1842, should be imposed on all foreign importa-
tions. This report is the beginning of the agitation on
the tariff question.
A very destructive fire took place on the 26th ult. at
St. John's, N.B. Every building on one side of King-
street was consumed.

CANADIAN AFFAIRS

The following paragraph from the New York Sun of the
sth instant only corroborates what we have long since
predicted as the result of our Canadian policy :
" Canada is in a state of tremendous ferment. The Liberals
have carried their great indemnity measure, and the ire of the
English is raised to the highest pitch. In the municipal elec-
tion of Montreal, both parties would struggle for supremacy,
and if the Liberals succeed on the back of their legislative
triumph, Canada is no longer a loyal appendage to the English
crown. Many of the Upper Canadians declare they would
prefer the rule of the United States to that of a semi• French
ministry and legislature. We doubt not every sensible Cana-
dian would prefer the rule of Union to any colonial govern-
ment, no matter by what party administered. We wait the
denouement of the elections with interest, they will decide the
fate of the Canadas, or the peace and harmony of the Cana-
dians at least."

COLLISION BETWEEN THE " THRESHERS" AND
ORANGEMEN, IN DOWN.—Accounts reached us that, at
Crossgar, within four and a half miles of Downpatrick,
where those who walk in procession on Patrick's Day
rendezvoused, a violent collision took place between them
and the Orangemen. About 3,000 of the processionists
assembled at Cmssgar, the place of rendezvous previously
agreed upon. On their attempting to go up a street
called " Killyleagh-street," the opposite party, we believe
Orangemen, mustered pretty strong, and declared that
"up that street they should not go." A party of police
were here drawn up. Stones were resorted to with great
violence, on both sides. The police came in for their
share, until at length firearms were discharged, we could
not ascertain from what quarter first. Mr. Anketell, one
of the magistrates in attendance, then read the riot act,
immediately after which, one of the party in the proces-
sion advanced from the ranks, and drove the muzzle of a
gun against his breast, giving him a severe thrust. The
struggle was now between the ribbormen and the police;
firing on both sides, and the result was that a policeman
named Burke, from Newtownbreda district, was shot
through the neck, and instantly expired. A woman
named Ann Woods, from Belfast, who had a stall in the
street, also received a gun shot wound, and died shortly
after. A man named Smyth, who was merely looking on
at the time, and took no part in the procession, has been
mortally wounded, and is in a dying state. Several of the
police and country people are more or less injured from
the effects of slugs. A countryman has been conveyed to
the infirmary badly wounded.—Downpatrick Recorder.

The following from the New York Herald of the 6th
instant is equally significant and startling :

"Until lately the Canadian press, especially the tory portion
of it, would, after venting its spleen on Yankeedom to its sa-
tisfaction, rhapsodise about the loyalty of the Canadians to
their beloved and most gracious sovereign, their inalienable
attachment to the constitution, and swear that only for some-
thing or other, the loyal subjects of those provinces would
march across the lines and eat us up, head, tail, and all. Re•
cently, however, a change has come over the spirit of their
dream ; a great deal of this boasted loyalty and affection has
oozed away, and the ultimate incorporation of Canada with
the United States is not only freely discussed, and freely
threatened by the Canadians themselves, but is virtually
within an ace of being accomplished.
" This may appear startling, but it is within the truth. Let
the measures that are now in contemplation by the Canadian
Parliament and by the Congress of the United States be effect-
ed, and a solid union and community of interests between the
Canadas and the United States will be at once established,
without the trouble of negotiating a treaty."

POLITICAL MISCELLANY.

Col. Rolleston has resigned his seat for South Notting-
hamshire, and it is proposed to bring forward Lord John
Manners.

On Friday Mr. Fox Maule made himself silly by read-

THE VICAR OF ROCHDALE AND MR. BRIGHT.—III
consequence of the attack made upon Dr. Molesworth by
Mr. Bright, h 1 his speech upon Church-rates, the former
has addressed a letter to the Times, denying the truth of se-
veral of his allegations, and stating that, in fact, Mr. Bright
was one of the chief instigators of the disorders to which
he referred in the House, as an argument against Church-
rates.
