THE "FINE You've IRISH GENTLEMES."-Some
months ago we duly chronicled how one Mr.. Car
den, Tpperary Justice Of the Peace, with some
$1,000 per annum Of landed property, had attempt
ed the abduction of Miss Arbuthnot, a fair "Saxon
with the aid of a band of assistants, firearms, a
coach-and-four, and sundry bottles of choroforrn
how he was brought to trial; how he was acquitted
Of the more serious charge, and convicted Of as
sault; how he was sentenced to two years i'm
prisonment; and how the men of Tipperary lay,
and sundry of its women also) were as indignant
at the punishment of "a gentleman" as even a
New York ex-Recorder could possibly have been.
the subject, presumng that for two years at least
we were rid of the magisterial abductor
We were wrong. Mr.. Garden is in the field again,
and in rather curious way. After he had been
some months in prison his fellow-magistrate (who
doubtless thought that running away with an
English heress was fault much akin to Celtic
virtue) interested themselves or the mitigation Of
his punishment, and represented that his health
had suffered so much under confinement that pro-
longed imprisonment might be fatal Tee Irish
Government thereupon specially sent Sir Philip
Champion, the Surgeon-General, from Dublin to
Tipperary to report upon the cose. Sir Philips
report, though it did not declare that Garden was
dangerously i'll, was considered to warrant the re-
lease of the prisoner on easy terms.
The Government minated that he might leave
confinement on condition Of retiring to the Con-
tinent for the uncompleted term Of his sentence,
and on giving heavy bonds to keep the peace to-
wards every one, but particularly towards Miss Ar
buthnot. But Mr.. Garden has declined being
liberated on these conditions. He desires to re-
side where he pleases, and especially objects to any
restriction On his right to runaway Miss Arbuthnot
fit should SO please him. In the prison of Clon-
mel, and not in the narrow space beyond the
british Islands, is the Cardenian atmosphere Of
freedom, and liberty is but name, he thinks, un-
less it includes the liberty Of making future attempts
upon the lady, the power Of wooing her as the lion
woos his bride-N. y Times.

The ALLIES IN THE CRIMEA.-The Paris cor
respondent of the National Intelligencer, in his
letter Of April IL, says:
A French general, who has just left the Crimea,
has, understand, expressed the opinion that the
defence Of Sevastopol will be good to the end, and
that the only chance of achieving some brilliant
success is by attacking the Russian army in the
field. But here the difficulties and dangers would
be almost as great. The winter may be said to be
over in the Crimea, but state of things not less
terrible is coming on pace. Numerous reinforce
ments have already entered the Crimea from the
interior Of Russia; still larger bodies are known
to be the road waiting only till the roads become
practicable to rush on and establish numerical
superiority against which the superior soership Of
the Allies will be desperately unasafing Besides,
the Russians have strongly fortified their camps
without Sevastopol on the renowned heights Of
Alma and elsewhere. If the Allies, despairing at
last Of successful operations against Sevastopol,
should break up their besieging camp and seek the
enemy in the field, would they find him in the open
field? Not at all. 1t may be said with certainty
that no more pitched battles in the field are to be
fought in the Crimea. The Russians would be
found entrenched in strong positions brstling with
cannons that would have to be storrned at almost
as great expense Of Zouaves and Hghlanders as the
works Of Sevastopol ITSELF

LocUsTs-The Homer claiborne Parish La J
Advocate Of the I'd inst, has the following:
After the lapse Of seven years the locusts have
again made their appearance in this section of the
country. On Sunday Inst they were first heard,
and now they are becoming quite plenty.
There are few subjects the naturalist could study
of more curious interest than that of the seven
years locusts They are, in every particular, sui
generic There is nothing like them. of which we
have any knowledge, in natural history. How,
from the time the eggs deposited in the missions
Of the bark Of trees BY the mother locust through
all the changes Of seasons, the full grown locust
should reappear, countless myriads Simultaneous
ly, and after the lapse Of precisely seven years. in
wolves q mystery wholly beyond the reach Of the
little science we are able to command ON the sub
ject And why they should not appear generally
over the world, or continent. and not alone in
particular districts of country, is another mystery
which we shall not attempt to elacidate.
There is one fact which we have just observed:
the locust in its resurrection, comes up from the
earth, and evidently from considerable depth
beneath the surface. Any one, upon a'slight ex-
animation, can discover numerous holes, at which
they have made their escape from their subter-
ranean prison chambers The deposit Of the larva
in the bark Of trees; the migration in some shape
after Matching, into the earth; their bursting from
seven years their apervading. doeful concert for
brief season, and their sudden disappearance,
after the means Of reproduction have been provided,
is about all we know Of this extraordinary insect
We should be pleased to have ourselves further en-
lightened By any one who is more conversant with
subject Of such singular interest

HORRIBLE AFFAIR.-The London Times LAYS
before its readers the particulars of horrible affair
which recently occurred near the Dutch settlement
of Transvaal, at the Cape of Good Hope, and which
only be paralleed in atrocity among the achieve
ments of modern times by the exploit Of Marshal
St. Arnaud in Algiers, when he smoked and
burned to death thousands of his barbarian op-
ponents who had sought refuge in deep and
spacious cave:
In the case at the Cape of Good Hope, the Caffre
Indians had murdered, in October last, under Cir
cumstances Of great barbarity, ten or twelve men
and women of the Dutch settlement. Immediately
Gen. Pretorius raised an army of 500 men, and
accompanied by Commander General Potgietter,
proceeded on an expedition to revenge the blood of
the victims After an absence of several weeks,
they reached some remarkable subterranean cav
erns half mile in length, and from three to FIVE
hundred feet in width, where the Caffres had en-
trenched themselves. Upon his arrival at this
spot, Gen. Pretorius attempted to blast the rocks
above the caverns, and thus crush the savages be-
meath the ruins. The peculiar character of the
stone, how Yer, rendered this scheme impracticable
and he then stationed his men around the mouths
of the caves, and built up walls in front of them
After few days, many of the women and children
were driven by munger ana thirst from their hldng
places and were allowed to escape; but every man
who came forth was shot dead by their rifles. On
the 18th of November, at the close Of siege of
three weeks, the besiegers, seeing no signs of life,
entered the caverns, and the silence within, to-
gether with the horrible odor arising from the
bodies of the dead told how eectually their object
had been accomplished. More than nine hundred
Caffres had been shot down at the mouths of the
caverns, and much greater number had persisted
by slow degrees suffering all the horrors of starva
ton in the gloomy recesses within.
