at New Castle Barracks, England, recently, for
desertion using disrespectful and threatening Ian
suage to his sergeant and for two several cases Of
theft An observer of the scene that ensued, thus
describes it:
81 had expected bloody scene but the reality
far exceeded all had even dreamed of In human
torture. At the fifth stroke of the lash the flesh
rose up on the sufferers back, the welts thicker
than my wrist, and the writing of the body show
ed the agony he endured As each successive lash
fell on the lacerated and bleeding back, the blood
flowed about on all around After the fortieth lash
had been inflicted, he was united and, after stag
gering few PAGES, fell fainting when he was re-
moved to the hospital and placed under the charge
of the medical officer. He has yet to receive the
remainder of his punishment-nsmely, one hun
dred and four days solitary confinement"

An American ailor has been brutally
treated at Honolulu, by the authorities there,
on q charge of larceny. The police court Or
dered him to receive twenty blows by a CATO
nine-tails, although he was entitled to a delay
of ten days, in order to give notice of appeal
but the officers hurried the man from the court
room, stripped him to the skin, and executed
the sentence with merciless severity, inficting
one hundred and eighty lashes. The seaman is
named George Bailey, and belonged to the
whale-ship Pelican, Capt. Cleveland. There
was great excitement among all the American
seamen in port. Bailey, with Capt. Cleveland,
under whose guardianship he was, appeared
before the U. S. Consul for Honolulu, the
Hon. d. II. Ogden, making affidavit to the
facts-who made d strong representation to the
Hawaiian Government, which promised re-
dress, but merely dismissed the police magis-
rate as an atonement. The American Com
missioner, Mr.. Gregg, deemed this inadequate,
aud demanded that the sum of $4,000 should be
paid to Bailey, in satisfaction, and that the
rights of Americans should hereafter be res
pected, both under the treaty of le49 and the
Hawaiian laws. The matter had not been
settled on the LIST November.

by placing the strychnia upon meat 1he meat
was near a jar Of refuse lard, and alter inc
meat had been eaten the dog devoured the lard
and to the surprise Of the persons watching the
effects Of the poison, it failed Of producing any
effect, although one grain had been swallowed.
The experiment was repeated nine different
times with like results, and eleven times with
out the lard, and in every instance proved
fatal.
The Senate of Virginia have lately passed q
bill for the voluntary enslavement OF a free ne
gro of southampton county. He is on old man,
sixty years Of age, and has been lately emanci-
pated, but is anxious to remain in the condition
of servitude, which he knows by his own expe-
rience and observation is the best and happiest
condition for his race. So numerous are appll-
cations of this character, the Richmond Dis.
patch says, that it has been found necessary to
introduce a general law into the Legislature fol
the voluntary enslavement Of free negroes Of
the commonwealth.
The modest woman who gave the " whitening
look !" to Captain Jonathan, because he talkec
of his vessel hugging the shore, has again hae
her sensibilities shocked by the naked condl
ton of the trees. While they were being
stripped she retired to her room for a season o
meditation. She will make her appearance OF
Christmas eve if the children won't say any

The Moravian manner Of administering TIN

mutual forgiveness and reconciliation, in &C
cordance with the apostolic injunction, Salut

bread is consecrated by the presiding minister
who is dressed in u white surplice, and the dis

A Rich Legacy Fifty Million Pounds
Sterling.

The Syracuse Standard says that two enter
prising merchants Of that city, Messrs. Morris
& Gardner, who keep a variety store, have re-
ceiyed intelligence that they are heirs in the
direct line to a large amount of money and
property in England. The whole amount is
about fifty million pounds sterling, and it is
descendants to claim o share, giving each per-
son more than half a million dollars. An
eminent lawyer in NewYork has been engaged
for some time past in investigating the claim,
and it is understood that the matter is near its
conclusion.
The Standard says further: "The original
owner of this immense property was Lord
Gardiner, an English nobleman, to whom
reference is made in Beck's Medical Jurispru-
dence, as contestant in a law suit in which
millions were pending, and the case was finally
carried to Parliament and decided in favor Of
" the Lord Gardiner" The case is known to
lawyers as "The Gardiner Peerage Case" The
original Lord Gardiner had three sons, who
emigrated to this country soon after the settle
ment Of NewYork The celebrated Gardeners
Island, near NewYork, was entailed property,
belonging to the descendants Of Lord Gardiner,
and one of the three sons married and settled
on the Island as the heir. Another son died
soon after his arrival in this country, and the
third son married and had a numerous family.
One of the descendants was killed by the burst
ing of q cannon on the steamer Princeton,
during an excursion on the Potomac we be-
lieve he was a member of President Iyler's
Cabinet, and eX-President Tyler afterwards
married into the Gardiner family, but what
branch of the family is not understood.
"One of the sons of the third son mentioned
above, named William, married and had two
sons and one daughter. The daughter died af.
ter her marriage, without leaving any children.
The oldest of the two sons Of William, named
after his father, married and had eight children,
five sons and three daughters, all Of whom
lived to be married and had children. The
oldest Of these sons was the father of Joseph
&. Gardiner and Harry G. Gardiner-both
deceased. w. r. Gardiner, residing in the
western part Of this State Mrs. Fanny Lara
bee, residing near the Orphan Asylum. in this
city; Mrs. Polly Norris, widow of d. d.
Morris,) residing on Fayette street, Syracuse
Mrs. Caroline Bird, and Mrs. Clarissa Sher-
wood, of Oneida.
"Ihe proprietors of the Variety Store, who
are well known to all Of our citizens, are the
sons Of Joseph G. Gardiner and Mrs. Polly
Morris. Both are orphans, their father having
died in this city, and their mothers still reside
here and OWN some real estate"

ADJUSTMENTS IN THE. Clry.-The various
places of amusement in NewOrleans are now
in full blast for the season. At the St. Charles,
Mr.. Hackett is playing an engagement, tolera-
bly, supported by q $3.50 stock company he is
to be followed by other attractions and novel
ties. At the Orleans, as ever, o talented troupe
are delighting the lovers of opera in French,
and at the Pelican, German music cheers the
sons Of Fatherland then there is a Circus at
the corner of Baronne and Poydras streets, and
Vannuchi's Wax Statuary, in st. Charles
street, together with two rival companies Of
Negro Minstrels at Odd Fellows Hall and at
the Armory, and numerous amusements Of
allow Degree" each Of which claims a due
share of patronage from the large number Of
strangers now sojourning in the Crescent City.
But we must not forget the G%aiety--the
new theatre built upon the site Of the Varieties
For elegance and capacity, its size considered
we are sure that it has no equal in the United
States. It is under the management Of Mr.
Bourcicault, the eminent playwright and actor
who never fails to give delight to his audiences
In the stock company we recognize many ia
%vorites ; while the bright, particular star, Mis-:
Agnes Robertson, has made this house hel
home for the season. Her charming persona
tons, and her wonderful versatility, are equally
themes for admiration. Indeed, the promise
for the Gaiety for its first season is-well, gt
and see for yourselves, ye pleasure-seekers who
visit the city during this winter!
