Two MEN HUNG FOR MURDER-SIx
MURDERS CONFESSED We learn from Mr.
George Darling Of the Canada Express, that
two men were executed for murder at To-
ronto, Canada, on Tuesday forenoon last
The name of one was Hamilton, and that OF
the other Turney. The former was hung for
the murder of an old man, with whom he had
some pecuniary difficulty, in settling which,
as he asserted upon the scaffold, they got into
A quarrel, and coming to blows, he hit the old
man on the head and killed him. These facts
he stated Just previous to the rope being plac-
cd around his neck.
Turney seems to have been hardened
and desperate villain. Some time since he
murdered a man while engaged in row.
Previous to being executed he came out upon
the scafold and addressed the assembled
thousands in a speech of half an hour or more
in the course of which he acknowledged that
the murder for which he was about to suffer
the penalty of the law was the sixth which he
had committed in the course of few years.
The scaffold was erected without the walls
of the jail, the crowd assembled to witness the
execution being Immense, a large portion Of
whom were females The doomed men were
attended by two priests, and as they knel
upon the scaffold to receive the last blessing
the rope was cut and both were launched in
to eternity, at the same instant
So great was the desire to witness thu
strangling of two men that it was utterly i'm
possible to do any business whatever in Tor
onto. Men, women and children, focket
around the scahold by thousands !--Roehcste

BURSTING OF FORGE CINDER. A slngu-
lar and sad accident happened at wills
borough, in this county, on Tuesday evening
of last week, occasioned by the bursting OF a
mass of cinder in forge, owned by the MessrS
Kngslands's, burning three young men IN
such manner as to leave but small chance
for their recovery Those injured were 5.
Whitcomb, son of Mr.John Whitcomb, Reese
Vile, John Foster, and lad named Haymer!'
They were standing near the cindcr when 1t
exploded.
The Keeseville Republican of the 10th inst
says, "The explosion was occaSioned by throw
ing a quantity of water upon the cinder as
it ran from the fire, which, becoming enclosed
within the shell formed by the cinder as II
cooled the steam thus generated exploded tho
mass with tremendous force, doing consider
able damage to the building. One man was
thrown nearly 80 feet doing him slight inju
ry: the fore plate of the fire, weighing, some
25O pounds, was blown through the rooftear
ing away the rafers and plank for 10 square
feet"
The report of the explosion was heard at {
distance of six miles JVeSpon PatTiot.

IRELAND. A Portland shipmaster, in a
letter dated at Wcstport, Ireland, May 20, al
ludes thus to the distress in Ireland - :,
"To give you some idea of it, the pilot tells
me that on Clare Island, out of 1900 people,
not over 20 have planted any thlng-the rest
arc expecting to starve to death, or as he says
looking for it. All that can raise enough
to pay their passage are emigrating, and many
of the wealthy would do so,could they dispose
of their property, conscious that if things con- con-
tinue in this state, it cannot be long before
the starving people will trample all law under
foot, in spite of British bayonets, and help
themselves to food wherever it can be found
The lords and landholders, too, will soon feel
the famine, their lands bringing no income
None will hire them, or if they hire, they
have no idea of paying the rent-consequentt'
" it will be but few years, if something is
not done to prevent it, before the whole coun-
try must become wilderness. Courier.

SHIP SwATARA. In relation to this ship,
before reported put back to Ireland In dis
trcss, the Londonderry Journal says; :.
We noticed three weeks ago the arrival IN
Tough Foyle of this vessel, under jury masts'
and having 20O emigrants on board, and her
being brought up to Captain ,CobbinS ship
building yard. All that time she was, accord
ing to the highest medical authority, decided
" free from fever Since that time, however,
typhus has made its appearance among the
passengers. In addition to fifteen cases re-
ported on the 10Th inst, seventeen were con-
ycyed on the 10Th to the fever hospital OF the
workhouse, besides which, several have been
accommodated in the inlirmary. Tents have
also been erected on the rising ground behind
the rock on the Strand road, for the recep-
ton of the passengers until the ship be prop
erly fumigated and prepared for sea, The
state of matters on board is not little alarm
ing. On Monday last there were thirty de-
cided cases of typhus fever, and many more
in the incipient stages of that epidemic, and
not an officer was fit for duty, all OF them
having been laid up. The steward, scarcely
able to walk, was lettering on the shore.

MASSACHUSETTS, VOLUNTEERS. The
men who claim to represent the patriotism OF
of Massachusetts,, are fast giving an unenvia-
BILE reputation to the Bay State. Bat short
time since, man named Wayland, of COM
pany G, stabbed trader for refusing to give
him liquor. He was arrested, but afterwards
suffered to escape. Now we have another
case, which is thus related in the Matamoros
Flag :-B0St Wing.
ANOTHER MANLY ACT. On Tuesday
evening last, 1st inst, after nightfall, several
Massachusetts volunteers entered the dwelling
of Mexican near the Upper Plaza, and DC
handed " whiskey." A female, who otilclat'
ed, remarked that she kept nothing but beer
After some rcmonstrance one OF the gentlemen
drew bayonet, which he wore in his belt, and
stabbed the woman to the heart. Wonder
how many more such warriors are left IN the
old Bay State? We trust in God there arc
but few. Don't pretend to advise or dictate
but can't help thinking that little extra en-
deavors on the part Of authorities and officers
would lead to the dscovey of the woman Stay

GREAT RAIN IN ONO. The GAINESVILLE
(Ohio) Courier of the 10Th says; cone OF
the most violent storms ever known, passed
over this place yesterday, The storm con,
tinued in its increased violence about IL
hours. The stream rose instantly, and where
ever obstacles were presented, immediately
porped. The large stone culvert bridge just
at the western limit of South ZanesvillSgave
way and was swept down. The cost of re-
placing it will be about $4,000, or $500
The bed of the run at this points some Is or
Is feet below the level of the road. In one
hour after the storm set in, Beaumont & Hol-
lingsworth's mill, in Putnam, was stopped by
the backwater from Moxahala, 1-2 miles be-
low. The dams on Moxahala, from Fulton
ham to the mouth, are swept away. Breech-
bills dam is standing 1t is reported that
Matthew's mill has also gone, and that Car

some interesting statistics of the amount OF
strawberries carried over that road
"The milk train of Tuesday night (22d)

tain one pint each, but say that three baskets
contain one quart, which is quite within thin

laws, viz schooncrs Enterprise, Reindeer,
