favour of it, for although it is stated that they accumulate
their wages without giving them the *lightest circulation in

In Demerara a strict investigation into the exercise of

which they had administered their duties. A great number,
however, still remained without any statement of thecollected
assets, or property likely to be realized for the benefit of
those who happen to have claims upon them, and the laxity

THE LATE SIR W. MACNAGHTKN.—The remains of Sir
tii m. Macnaghten are now on their way to Calcutta, and
may be expected in a few days. They were recovered at a
large price, by Lady Macnaghteo, from the well into which
they had been cast. The body was recognised from its mu-
tilated condition, and from the absence of the head and the
arm., which had been cut off by-the Affghau ruffians who as.-
sasainated him.
hoseWe have been given to understand that it

is not intended to pay the usual-public honours to the re-

mains of this lamented public servant, though at the time
of his decease he occupied one of the most important and
responsible posts under this Government, and had been nomi-
nated Governor of the Bombay ,presidency.—Friend of
India.

The Courrier de Lyon {states that an Englishman lately
died at Vienna, whose manner of living was exceedingly cu-
rious. Being affected with a liver complaint, and having
seen in a treatise on the malady that baths were a good reme-
dy, he took two every day for the last seven years. At first
the length of each was two hours, but that period went on
gradually increasing. For the last three years he entered the
bath at half-past four or five, and remained there until
twelve, when he dined.He again entered the bath at half-
past one, and left idikt eight in the evening, to eat his supper
and go to bed. So that he spent thirteen hours a day in the
water. On the day of his death he arrived at the bath a
little later than usual, and complained of the loss of a valua-
ble half-hour. In an hour after a servant entered, and found
hiss with his head inclined on one side—dead.

INSURRECTION IN BOSNIA.—VIENNA, May, 22. —lntel-

had broken out among the Turkish population in Bosnia.
On the 12th May, the Viceroy established himself in a camp
near Bisticz, with the intention of operating against the in-

The latter ppnsisted chiefly of Arnauts, and they
received reinforcernentparom Duvno, Livno, Kupress, and
Glarnorcz. On the 9th insurgents endeavoured to take
the fortress of Ostroschatz by storm, but they were repulsed
by the garrison. From Yaszenicza the Viceroy summoned
the rebels to surrender up twelve of their ringleaders, of-
fering to grant an amnesty to the rest. To this proposition,
however, the insurgents would not accede, and demanded,
as the conditions of their submission, the removal of the
Pasha of Besacz and the Arnauts from among them, and the
reduction of the recently augmented custom-house duty to
its former amount. The rebels still continue to keep the
fortresses of Brechovicza, Ostroschatz, and Krupa closely
blockaded, whilst the operations of the Vizier are tempora-
rily suspended by the overflowing of the river Klogot. This
insurrectionary movement, which is not marked by any po-
litical character, will probably be of short duration, like all
similar movements in Bosnia.—Austrian Observer.

MOB-MEETINGS IN DUBLIN

om the Dublin Evening Mail.)

Since the first evening upon which the new mail-coaches
of Mr. Croal started from the Post-office, the entire area of
Sackville-street has exhibited, on each recurring night, a
scene little in accordance with the peace and order which, at
such a time, should pervade a quiet and well-regulated city.
Vast crowds of people assemble, obstructing the free passage
of the citizens, and making it necessary for the authorities to
have a strong force of police and military in attendance for
more than an hour each evening ; and all for the ostensible
purpose of hooting the insensible machines of paint and tim-
ber that convey her Majesty's mails. It is impossible to
believe, for a moment, that sympathy for Mr. Purcell—a
gentleman, by the way, who does not possess the unqualified
respect or affection of the Irish mobs, or their great leader—
is the real purport that brings together these vast concourses.
The true object of those meetings is to exhibit the physical
power and numerical sPrength of the sovereign people, and
the moral power of their leaders in swaying the multitude,
governing their movements, and giving the proper direction
to their passions and feelings. Accordingly we perceive, and
with no surprise, that a popular commander is always present
on those oceasiont, preaching nominal obedience to the laws.
but never failing to acid a word of hope and encouragement
with respect to a great subject of popular excitement. On
one occasion Mr. Reilly harangued the mob, and last evening
the Head Pacificator himself—sent, as we are told, by the
Liberator, and " with a light green bough in his hand, which,
upon such occasions, he bears, as the symbol of his func-
tions," pleasingly symbolical, no doubt, of the dove with the
olive branch—addressed the multitude, not on the subject of
Croal, Peter Purcell, or the mail contract, but of Daniel
O'Connell—" the old accomplice of the Saxon, Wellington
—and the ethereal system of regeneration."

FROM TliE FREEMAN.)

" The Head Pacificator on Thursday evening was again
sent by the Liberator to Sackville-street, to preserve order
during the arrival and departure of Croat's old-new coaches,
and to prevent a recurrence of any scenes like those which
occurred at their first starting.
" When the coaches had all left the Post-office. Mr.
Steele herangued the multitude for a few moments. lie said
that he had it in charge from the father of his country to tell
them that he was sorry that they should be wasting their
time upon such a matter as Croal's or Peter Purcell's coaches ;
but, at the same time, he also had it in charge from his
august and mighty leader to give expression to his (Mr.
O'Connell's) deepest, his most intense gratitude, for the
proof they had given the evening before of their confidence
and their devotion. They had not allowed themselves to be
overcome by the military or the police, but the very moment
they heard what he desired, they acted on his counsel. (Tre-
mendous shouting, and cries of' to be sure we dtd.') A peo-
ple (continued Mr. Steele) so brave, but at the same time so
docile and obedient—and with dauntless bravery, docility,
and voluntary obedience to leadership, are the elements of
moral might irresistible; r

land, why God defend the right!' Even without the sym-

trample upon every right, human and divine.

the multitude, which rent the sky with their acclamations,
and passed through Westmorland-street to College-green.
