THE IRISH AND THE sEPoYs.

The Freeman's Journal the leading Roman Catholic
organ in Ireland administers the following rebuke to
that section of the Irish press which has volunteered the
advocacy of the atrocities perpetrated by the Sepoys
Commenting upon the petition adopted by the Chamber
of Commerce at Calcutta, the Freeman says:
Some vile enemy of the Irish people has attempted
to get up murder -rapine spirit in Ireland, and to
stimulate proSepoy feeling by the issue of placards in
the southern districts for the purpose of inducing the
belief that in the Catholic districts of the country
the brualtes of the Sepoys regarded with sympathy
and their treatment of the Irish and English ladies APP
proved because their husbands and fathers assumed
to be connected with the British army The infamous
attempt to identify the people of Ireland with Sepoysm
has met prompt and effective rebuke from the Catholic
town of SUR, who Indignantly repudiate the
nearious attempt, and have opened subscription list
for the purpose of detecting the emissary of Sepoysm
who brought the vile placards allude to to their
town.
" The Irish people condemn most heartily the system
of oppression and msrue practiscd by the East India
Company, but they have sympathy with the butchers
at Cawnpore and the barbares which form the charac-
teristic of the waged against and children.
Some of the best men in ndia-Engsh Scotch, and
Irish merchants at Calcuttahave protested against the
msrule practised in India but while these have the
manlness to denounce the of the government in
the petition which suboin, and from the midst of the
India under the sovereignty of Queen they have the
wisdom to discriminate between rational liberty and
pant licentousness and while fearessy exposing the
evils which led to this revolt they fearlessly take up
against the system of indscrimnate murder which
the Sepoys would nauguate and their Irish sympathzers
would have their dupes if they could get any, to fol-
low"

CASE or PROBABLE SUSPENDED ANIMArIoS.-On the

of this city, which occurred suddenly Thursday the
LIST instant.
The friends of the family assembled Saturday, the
3d. to attend the funeral but having been discovered
carly that day that the body still preserved its natural
appearance it decided to perform the services in the
house, deferrng the burial for the present The body
accordingly removed from the coffin to the bed and
continues in state of perfect preservation and
natural condition. this the serah day its supposed
decease
The utmost soictude exists, of course in the family,
and every effort being made to assist nature in the
toraton of her functions although yet symptoms
of active life have appeared. Itwould to be
for the most extreme to be adopted lest the
prolonged suspension of life may of itself prove fatal
and yet instances of pause of weeks in the natural
powers said to have been recorded in Europe.

EoREIGN TRADE OF HONOLULU.

The foreign import trade of the Sandwich islands
would seem to be in rather depressed condition
during the first six months of the present year. The
imports show falling off when compared with those
for the corresponding periods in the four preceding
years of nearly so per cent The following state

those periods at the port of Honouu-the chief port

The articles which chiefly attract attention in the
preceding table sugar, sirup hides, and coffee.
The latter article is becoming of great import
in the domestic exports Of the Sandwich islands,
and the production is gradually increasing with the
great demand especially for the California markets
Indeed, the foreign commerce of the Sandwich
islands may be said to be carried exclusively
with San Francisco, Columbia river, Puget's Sound,
and Vancouvers island. 1t is true the whalers,
which always find safe shelter and abundance of
supplies at Honolulu and the other ports of the
group, absorb considerable share of the general
commerce of the Sandwich islands, but of these
by far the largest number sail under the stars and
stripes.

Financial OpInions-in Brelf.


l. Our opinion is that the ''criss" so long talked
ofby the whole tribe OF long faced Bears, has been
indefinite y postponed.
2. We believe that the money market will con-
tinue improve, that the present street rates OF
interest will not be maintained through the mali
der of the season, and that the bank rate will be
easy at per cent.
3. In regard to the crops, having had the privi-
lege lately of personal observation in at least thr
teen of the Northern States, are Of the opinion
that the aggregate yield will be far greater this year
than before.
8. 1t is our opinion that most descriptions
stocks have touched bottom" and that those who
have money lying idle had better be in haste about
making investments.
3. We believe that the prospect for trade gene
rally is encouraging.
g. 1t is our opinion, based upon private adVices
from California that the yield of gold at the mines,
and the shipments thence the remainder OF the
year. will be larger from now till January than
during any other corresponding period, I. e., Fall
months.
Z. We believe that financial matters abroad will,
from this date. steadily improve; that the Banks OF
England and France will continue to reduce their
rates of interest, in consequence OF rapid accumu-
latons of specie.
8. In conclusion, give it as our opinion that
al croakers should stop their mouths; that ldlers
should go to work; and that everybody should ex.
pect prosperity if they ''mind their own business
These are our deliberate opinions, based upon
peculiar and reliable information" We may be
mistaken; il So we will congratulate ourselves that
Others, much wiser than we are, have made similar
or worse blunders.

has been recently newly painted and thoroughly
renovated, and now looks better than she did when
she first out. She is in charge Of Capt. MIL
TON AIKEN, long identified with the trade, and we
think too well appreciated by the business COM
munity, to let his beautiful little gem float with
'dry locker" His uutirng attention and close ap-
plicaton to the trade between this city and Gin
cinnat for years past, and his fixed determination
to "hang to the willow" is TRULY commendable,
and we trust will meet with success beyond his
most sanguine expectations. She will leave on re-
turn trip this evening.
