OUTEAGEs ON THE Cor NwALL CANAL. We
have received, says the Montreal Transcript,
the following PARTICULARS Of series Of outrages
which have been lately committed on the line
she Cornwall Canal.
On the 2nd of October last, a party cf the
canaliers, supposed to have come by the order
oftac Connaught men, arrived ut Cornwall! from
Maria Town, and Immediately ordered of all
the Munster men or the canal, going SC far as
to cause persons Wn5 had been in the country
more than 70 years to depart
Among others, Mrs. DAILY and her two sons,
who kept Il grocery, saddleTy and provision
store on the canal, were ordered by these ruf-
fans TO leave thcI: premises immediate ~, and
every thing in their store was thrown into the
road. Having obtained permission from Mcssrs.
Perrin and Lane, residents of the place to put
their goods into tIcr promises, they had scarce
ly done so, when the same gang percmptorily
ordered these persons to remove the goods, I'M
der fear Of their se9ercst dispcasure, and they
were compelled to do so, much against their
inclinaton
Finally, it Yves only after the NEST earnest
and repeated entreates, that Mrs. DAILY was
permitted t. take away her goods, in damag-
ed condition, to her husbands premises in
Cornwall. During the time that this outrage
was being committed, the party repeatedly told
the Days that they had been in that place long
enough, and that they themselves would take
possession of the premises, which they in fact
did, and now bold.
Mr.. Ryan, of the Tongue SAUL, who had a
store on the canal, was served the same way.
They took f5em him an excellent gun, worth
$40, and all the powder in his store. They al
SO took possession Of his store ana premises,
how oil those #
many Other persons along the line.
After committing the above outrages, por-
ton of the party left the place ard proceeded
onward, forcibly entering number Of houses
betwe en- the7Sa1al and Prescott, q distance of
thirty-fve miles, and taking all th2 arms they
could find.
We ought 10 mention that the Days and
Ryan, are from Munster, which drew down on
them these attacks, the object being, it would
seem, to pay eli some old grudge that Munster
owes Cork
HoRRiBLr AFFAIR. The following ex-
tract of a letter from Lanai gives az account OF
most horrible occurrence which recently hap
pened at neighborng island, dated March
y22d:-"You will have heard from Capt. Green,
of the Ontario that three men deserted from
him last Friday night. To-day two of them
: returned; they,were brought to the u. S. Con-
sulate Agency, and made one Of the most hor-
riblo statements ] ever heard. *@2 They,
as they say, hired u boat Of three natives on
Friday eve, and started for Hawaii. There
were three in the boat viz: Walter G. Pike, of
New Windsor, Grange county, N. Y; Robert
MCarty, New York city; and Jacob Won Chef,
belonging to MiIdletown Point, r. THE
latter a colored,r1an. They pulled all Friday
night, Saturday, Sunday, and their nights, and
became exhausted, and were unable to pull any
longer. On Tuesday they drfted on the rocks
at Lanai, and, having been without food or
fresh water the whole time, and having drank
salt wGter, they were in state OF star
walton. They were not able to get up the
pail (ppccipice) and agreed to cast lots to see
who should die for The benefit of the other two.
The lot fell on Nan Clief, who was Killed by
blows os his head with a stone. They then
cut his arm and threat; and drank his blood,
after which they Gu piece from his right arm
and ate il. After they became strengthened,
they got Up the pail, and met with some ma
tires, who gave them food, and broug ht them
across the island and 20 this place IN Canoes
The natives have boom examined, and confirm
the statement made by the men. The dead
body was found as they described, and buried
by them. The Governor will send to Lanai
tomorrow for the women they first saw after
landing, and for the remains of the boat"
Another letter states that these men were
tried for murder, and acquitted, and subse-
! quenty tried for stealing the boat and fined
$50 and costs. Having nc means ofPayingthe
! fine, they wepe working it out on the public
roads.
