The Beaver ISlant Affair.

We copy from the Detroit Tribune the foi-
lowing additional particulars of the shooting
of Nr. Bennett on Beaver Island. The de-
tails are 100 horrible for belief.
Capt. Shook, of the propeller Sciota, (Which
came down from Nackinac yesterday the
clerk and the passengers, all confirm our state
ment of the Beaver Island murder. We are
informed that we have not told one-hab OF the
revolving case; that the story of coroner's
Jury is all a mere pretence. In corroboratIon
Of which we were told that after taking the
body Of Bennett some distance from the scene
Of murder, they cut the body crosswise OF the
abdomen, then up on each side and raising
the part thus separated, one of them pushed
his hand up into the region of the heart and
tore il out; and discovering that ball had
been shot through it, ran one finger through
the hole made bv the ball and held it on his
inperIfor moment, exulting in the spirit OF
a fend, saving 81 this is what we have been
after and have got it, struck il upon the face
of their victim; while another ran his arm
into the body, pulled out a handful of blood
and dashed it upon the face of the murdered
nan. (The names of the persons who are
said to have done these things, were given
MS, but we omit them.) We might give
more, bat we viii not-they are too horrid.-

g. Resolved, That the reduction Of the length Of

lance, will enable steamers 70 carry double the
freight with one-half the fuel; that the dangers Of
the sea voyage would be decreased by the smooth

Z. Resolved, That during the winter season for
FIVE months In the year. the route could be extended
to Halifax or st. Andrews, in New Brunswick, or
any port where Q direct communication may here
after be opened with Canada by railroad.
3. Resolved, That the establishments Of 3 line OF
steamers between Great Britain and British North
America, would, in the opinion of this House, offer
Great Britain and the Northern and Western States
and colonial possessions bordering the valley of
the st Lawrence, than can be offered by the port Of
New York, inasmuch emigrants, merch andzo

by the way Of the ST. Lawrence at less cost and

ties will be afforded for the conveyance of mails by
the same line.

on London at shore being 10 ST. it follows that gold
is 0.29 per cent. dearer in London than in Ham
burg.
The course of exchange at New York, on Lon
don, for bills at 60 days sight, is ll03 per cent,
and the par of exchange between England and
America being l09 $40 per cent, il follows that
the exchanged is nomiDaly o 90 per cent in favor
of England and after making allowance for diff
ference of interest and charges of transport, the
present rate leaves profit on the importation of
gold from the United States.
The Manchester trade is improving. Both yarns
and goods show a slight upward tendency.
The commerce of France is improving, and
would develop itself fast, it not in feters from
the fear of revolution. This is proved by the con-
di,ion of the Bank of France, which has accumu.
lated over one million of dollars in specie
f22 241, 1872 in sterling Credit is restricted, and
the amount of commercial bills discounted is very
small, showing that the system which sprung up
after the revolution of 1913, of buying and selling
for cash only, is still adhered to.
The supply OF flour in the French market is i'm
mense, and still overflows to England. The pros
pect Of the crops being affected by the recent we,
weather, has induced holders to ak higher prices
at Paris, but in the South of France, whence ship.
ments made to England, prices have fallen
The latest quotations of French stocks are 90f
75c., and 56f 30c. for the five and three per
respectively.
