" HEREAs, it appears from an examination o
w the papers OF Mr. Ruxton, tx captain of the
Proiectorate schooner Rob Roy, deceased on board
the Caroline Hort during the passage of said esseI
rom Sydney to Tahiti, well from other partic-
ular sources:
| st, That said captain had taken from the barque
Julia Ann, wrecked at the Scilly Islands, the OF
| 3lOa sovereigns.
I'd, That when the Rob Roy was wrecked on the
Navigator Islands, said RuXtOn declared that he had
not saved than 42t soveregns out of 3lOk for
merly taken, of which tact there is great doubt,
since great number Of articles of smaller value
were saved.
Sd, That it is suspected that said Ruxton has en-
bezzled, for his own profit, part of the saved
from the Julia A'n, wrecked a second time with the
Rob Roy
| The .'COmmandant Particular Commissioner of
H. |. NJ in the Society Islands, has ordered that
inquest be made by the Justice of Peace, acting ad
interim Judge OF Instruction upon the facts above
stated.
! From said inquest during which Mr.. Charlton,
second in command OF the Rob Roy, did not appear,
by of absence, neither the crew, and whose
testimony was very important, it appears
That said Ruxton made. at Sydney. excessive ex-
penses out of proportion with his situation and with
what he was known to possess when he lett Tahiti.
That, in answer TO one of the witnesses inquirng
from him how he able to spend so freely, he
declared that he had received money assistance
from Scotch society named Scotia.
! That, after the demise of said Ruxton, 69 sover-
eigns and four dollars, as well as some goods and
jewery, found in his possession, the origin Of
which cannot be explained.
In consequence, the Commissioner of III. L. NJ. has
decided that the present abstract should be publish
ed in the official newspaper, SO that all interested
parties may preseIt t.. claims upon the success
sion of sa Ruxton, delivered into the hands of the
British Consul who will preserve it during one
year from this date.

The Poetry Of Desperation.

The following remarkable poem appeared Originally
Is believed, in the st. Helena Magazine, and W
fterwards copied in the London Spectator and 9th
ournals. 1t will he new to most readers. 1t relat
o the early service of the English officers in Indi
vhen the army was moved down by pesti ence. Whe
fr. Mseaulay's account of the effects of small pox
,ngand is remembered it describes the separate
brothers. sisters and lovers, it will be seen that tn
oeIn gives with wonderful effect what is far noble
owever painful, the very poetry of military despair
ut still the dying together of brothers in arms
REvELRY IN EAST INDIA.
We meet meath the sounding rafter,
And the walls around are bare,
As they shout to our peals of laughter;
1t seems that the dead are there.
But stand by your glasses steady,
We drink to our comrades eyes,
Quaff a cup to the dead already;
And hurra for the next that dies
Not here in the goblets glowing;
Not here in the vintage sweet;
'Tis cold, as our hearts are growing,
And dark, as the doom we meet
But stand to your glasses steady
And soon shall our pulses RISE
A cup to the dead already;
Hurra for the next that dies.
Not sigh for the lot that darkles;
Not tear for the friends that sink;
Wen flll, midst the wine -cIH's sparkles,
As mute rs the wine we drink.
So stand to your gltsses, steady
Ills this that the respite buys:
One cup to the dead already;
Hurra =! for the next that dies.
Time was when we frowned at others;
We thOugh we were wiser then;
Ha ha let them think of their mothers,
Who hope TO see them agI
No stand to your glasses steady!
The thOughtless are here the wise;
cup to the dead already;
Hurra forth next that dies
There's many hand that's shaking;
There's mIny a cheek that's shrunk;
But soon, though our hearts are breaking,
They'll burn with the wine we've drunk.
So stand TO your glasses steady
IT'S here the revival les;
A cup 10 the dead already;
Hurra for the next that dies.
There's mist on the glass congealing,
lis the hurricanes fiery breath;
And thus the warmth of feeling
Turns ice in the grasp Of death.
Ho stand to yoar glasses, steady
For a moment the Va )or flies;
cup TO the deId already;
Hurra for the next that dies.
Who breads to the dust returning!
Who shrinks from the sable shore,
Where the high and naughty yearning
OF the soul shall sting no more'
No stand TO your glasses, steady
The word is a world OF lies;
A cup TO the nd already;
Hurra for the next that dies.
Cut off from the land that bore US,
Betrayed by the land we find,
Where the brightest have gone before Us,
And the dullest remain behind.
Stand stand to your glasses, steady
lis all we have left to prize;
A cup to the dead already;
And hurra for the next that dies.

WARD THE awIFE MURDERER. !"

The history of Return J. Ward is not with
out precedent for his last act of brutality
and crime, If reports are true. The Toledo
Blade says:
great many stories have suddenly Obtain
ed currency in regard to Ward, during his
residence at Plankton, Richland county,
young man by the name of Hall, who
boarded with him, suddenly disappeared, and
suspicious are entertained that Ward murder
ed him. Mrs. Ward became deranged soon
after, and it is said that she often made dark
and mysterious illusions to the circumstance
in he. rawlings We also find in the Ply
mouth paper u statemen. that young woman,
now resident near Shelby, but then in the
employ of Ward as help; says, that some
time previous to the murder of Hall, peder
stopped at Wards He was on foot, and
carried his packs with him. Early in the
evening Ward told the girl TO 90 home; as
she would not be needed that night. She
did so, and, on returning the next morning.
while Ward and his wife were at breakfast,
inquired where was the pedler? Ward
said he had gone long ago. The girl then
started TO go up stairs TO make the beds.
and was told by Mrs. w. that she need not
make them; she proceeded up stairs, and
went into the room The pedler had Occu-
pied, and was alarmed by the sight of blood
upon the bed and upon the floor. She quick.
ly decended the STAIR put on her bonnet and
shawl, and left the premises. She told the
story to her mother, but it was never dvul-
ged to any until since Wards arrest for the
murder of his wife at SylVana, for fear of
mourning the malignity of Ward, who, it
seems, was feared and dreaded by all who
knew him. The pedler was never seen
afterwards, and it was thought that his body
was secreted in cisteIn, which was suisse
quent!y filed np by Ward.

REMARKABLE LIKENESS AND MAR
ROW ESCAPE.

In the case of the young woman found
murdered at Newburgh, supposed at first to
be Sarah Bloom, remarkable state of affairs
existed, which came near costing VIM. Jen-
kins, who was last seen with Miss Bloom, his
life. Miss Bloom appeared. showing that the
dead body was not hers, and that Jenkins,
was, of course, innocent of her murder for
which he had been arrested. The News SAYS:
The resemblance was indeed extraordinary.
The body had scar on the left eyebrow
precisely where Sarah has one; the body had
a cut on the main finger Of the left hand pre-
cisely where Sarah has one of the same char
acter; the body had a small black mole about
half way between the ankle and the knee, on
the shin bone, exactly where Sarah had one;
but strangest of all, the body has two toes on
the left foot grown together, precisely like
Sarab's except that Sarah's are not grown to-
gether so far down on the joint, the toes of
both feet of the body, like Sarah's, were
pressed together from wearing tight shoes,
and Sarah wears a coral ring on just the fin
ger from which on the corpse a ring had been
stripped. These facts, connected with Sarah's
absence, the curious story of Jenkins as to
where he had left her, the incident of her
going in direction where she did not hear
Of the discovery of the body, and was not
herself heard from for four days, combines to
make probably one of the strongest cases of
crcumstantial evidence against jenkins that
could well be conceived.

PAY UP.-Don't wait to be called upon
pay up at the very time, in the church and
out-pay up-walk up-stand up. Be
scrupulous on this point, conscientiously
so-it is your gain, your interest, your safety,
your life. No man ought to put hand to
paper. make any contract or engagement,
without intending, expecting, determining
fully to refund the sum promised at the time
precisely, unless it be for a newspaper. Pay
your grog bill, but never fora moment think
of paying off your printers bill punctually-
indeed it makes but little difference if you
never pay it! What does an editor or pub
Usher want with money!

EY The Southern Pacific Railroad has
been endowed by the State of Tsxas with
grant of 8,Ol7,O00 acres of land, and six thou
sand dollars per mile towards its construction.
The road through Texas will be 1888 miles
long! The land-taking those of the Illinois
company as a basis-with which Texas has
thus endowed this railroad, will be worth
more than hundred and twenty millions of
dollars! In amount it is nearly twice rs great
as the whole State of Massachusetts,, and, in
quality, superior to Me rich lands of the Hi
nois company, and said to be capable of pro-
ducing anything from cotton and figs to po-
tatoes and oats.

WALKERS PosITIoS.-The following, from
the accounts BY the Illinois, is he latest and
most authentic intelligence from Walker
On the 18th, the steamer Panama arrived
at Panama, with the news that Walker was
hemmed in by force Of allies quintuple his
number. and sure to be increased hity Der
cent, before he could extricate himself that he
was destitute Of provisions, and chances of
supplies cut of; that the Costa Ricans had
the heaviest metal and good range upon him;
but that he seemed determined 20 hold out,
and that he was well entrenched and other.
wise fortified. He has over six hundred men;
is well entrenched; living on mule and dog
meat; fighting ably at every point his men
deserving him At the rate of five per day; the
allies Sighting him with twenty-four pound
guns against his nine Founders.
A letter from DR.. J. p. Hogan, native Of
Philadelphia, but for ten years past a prom
inent physician of Costa Riea, gives the fol-
lowing additional particulars of Walkers
condition:
flag Of truce was dispatched from Rvas
on the 25th of March to Gen. Canas, offer.
ing to surrender on being allowed free ext
out of Nicaragua. Gen. Cahas declined, As
he had strict orders from President Mura 10
grant Walker individually no pardon; also,
Gen. Henningsrn. Walker is now fairly sur
rounded by about 1000 Costa Rican troops.
Gen. Canas has taken his position about l.
o yards from Rivas, having brought up
the chief portion Of his artillery to his pC
stion from ST. George. We feel certain,
then, that at this date the fllibusters are
routed. Starvation alone would compel him
TO surrender.

} Cincinnati Gazette OF the 4th says:

~ The strke among the conductors OF
the freight train on the Baltimore AID Ohio
railroad was effectually put down on Monday
by the authority Of the State. The strike
resulted in a very serious riot on Thursday
afternoon. All the trains were stopped by the
rioters near Ellicotps mills, and three were
obliged to return to Baltimore. One train
only got through Several musket shots were
fred from the esrs, and two Of the rioters
wounded. The strike was very general, and
there was much excitement all along the road.
The strike appears to have originated in con-
sequence Of some new regulation Of the COM
psny, to which the conductors we're opposed.
The business operations Of the road will now
90 on as usual.

F- The montgomery Msil"of Wednes.
day last, contains an eloquent letter from It.
II. Watts, Esq, addressed "1'o the American
Party of this montgomery District" We
admire the ring of the following extract, and
commend it to the Americansof Tennessee:
"Let us organize our forces, fellow Ameri-
cans! Let US fight on, fight ever until our
faith has been established in the hearts of the
people Let us teach our opponents, that
only the Lexington and Bunker Hill of Ameri.
cansm have been fought; and although diff
culties may surround US, and dangers harrass
us-still, we fight, with the assured conf
dence, that the Yorktown of our triumph
awaits us.

The Washington Star says

The Journal of Commerce labors through
column to prove shat the National"
disease arose from an effort to poison Mr..
Buchanan; contendng that those affected by
it caught it only just before Mr.. b. went to
the national, during his stay there, or imme-
diately after he left there. While we agree
with the writer that the subject has not been
as thoroughly investigated by the authorities
here us it should have been, single fact con-
nected with it refutes the theory of the Jour
nal beyond peradventure. We refer to the
fact that persons caught the disease in the
house. while neither drinking (even wa'er)
or eating mouthful in it. That is simply
from breathing the atmosphere.

NAY WE LAUGH IN CHuRcH.-flenry
Ward Bcecher thinks that congregation
NAV laugh in church, if there is anything to
laugh at though he does not think that peo-
Pile should go TO church TO laugh. Remove
the restraint upon laughing, which the sup
posed sanctty of the place imposes, and we
should soon have the congregations of some
churches laughing at rs well rs with the
minister. Laughing may be "just rs good
ga crying, and a good deal better, as Mr.
Becchcr says, and cheeriulness may be "char-
acteristic of Christianity but people ought
not TO 90 to church either to laugh or cry,
or to indulge any other extravaganza of feel
ing. They should go in the sober spirit Of
rational beings, to listen to dispassionote ar
gument and elevated reasoning, upon sub
jects certainly rs far removed IRON visibility

MURDERER's FATE.-Smon Dillon was
tried at Bowling Green, Ind, a few days ago,
on a charge of numbering his son fifteen years
previous, and acquitted for want Of evidence
to prove his guilt. Facts were given, how
ever, that convinced all who heard them that
he was the murderer After his aequitta he
quaffed deep of the 'damniDg draught," and
left the place for his home, some miles dis
tant, of which he was the sole occupant. His
neighbors knew nothing more of him until
one day last week their attention was arrested
by the blaze of light from his burning house.
They reached the place just in time to hear
the cries of the wretched man who persisted
in the flames. The supposed murderer had
met his fate.
