Conviction Of Martin Co,ghian--Costiy Aceident

BALrNoRE, Jan. 10.
Martin CoughlAn who has been on trial for seye.
raj days past in the Baltimore county court on an
indictment for the murder of his daughter by cru
ely beating her, was yesterday convicted by the
jury, Of man-slaughter The scene which transpired
the rendition of the verdict was most Affect
ing ono. The poor wife OF the miserable man fell
in death-like swoon, and bis children wept most
bitterly, evincing degree Of affection for their
parent, which proved plainly that his general de-
pertinent toward them must have been kind, and,
but for Intoxicating drink he would doubtless never
have committed the decd Of cruelty Of which he
stands convicted.
As soon as he had taken leave OF bis family and
was conveyed to Jail, the jury drew mp a petition
to the court that the punishment Of the prisoner
might be mitigsted as much as the law would permit
About a year ago a collision occurred at the
mouth Of the Patapsco river, between the steamer
Hugh jenkins and the schooner Exchange Of Mas
san, New Providence, causing the latter 10 sink,
and involving the loss Of valuable cargo Of salt,
sugar, coffee, &c. Shortly sferrsrd, the wreck
was raised by William Peters, and brought to this
city, whore she was condemned and sold for six.
teen hundred dollars. A libel for salvage was then
laid In the United States district court, and the
whole Of the amount Of the sale Of the vessel was
allowed. The owners of the schooner and cargo
then also laid a libel against the steamer for the
value Of the vessel and cargo, whiclrwm concluded
yesterday BY decree for the libesnt for a, 2s7.
This makes the accident very costly one TO the

The next day she experienced a very severe gale.
On the 9Th she lost her mizzcnmast and sprung

captain thought best to put into a safe bay about
twenty miles south of Macao, where he anchored
after It moderated. The pirates and natives went
on board and took out the entire cargo, about
200 tons sugar, tea, silks, mating, &c. and then
burned the hull TO the waters edge and sent the
crew to Macao. This Is probably the best AFFAIR
that could have happened here, as il has stirred
