I THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT ON TIE BoMBARD
MENT OF GREYTowN.-On u recent occasion tn
following proceedings took place in the British
House OF Commons: F
Lord Claude Hamilton asked what steps hat
been taken by Tie Government to obtain com
pensation for the British subjects residing a
Greytown, whose property was destroyed whel
that town was bombarded in 1854.
Lord Palmerston could not help character
izing the proceeding,as violent and crnel, reflect
ing no credit upon the Government who ordered
it to be done or upon the officer who executed
the order. The question had to be considered
as one of international law, and the law Officers
of the Grown decided that the inhabitants O
Greytown had no claim to- compensation.
Lord Lorne remarked that the British Con
SUBS house at Greytown was on fire while the
flag was still flying from it. He then condemn
| ed the cowardly policy of England towards the
strong power of the United States.
Mr.. Roebuck ridicued the explanation given
by the noble lord, that it was the duty of the
country not to protect Greytown from conquest
and to allow bolnbardment without interfer-
ence. The conduct of the American Govern.
ment was dishonest and if the offending power
had been China instead of America they would
have heard Immediately of the insult to the Brit
ish flag, and reparation would have been enforc-
ed
Mr.. Bentyck observed that there had been
for some time want of determination to resent
the outrages committed by the American Gov
eminent, and considered that policy as more
likely to promote hostilities than to avert
them.
The Attorney General denied that in any case
the right to demand satisfaction for outrages by
America had been given up by England, and
expressed regret at the course which the Gov
ernmeut had been compelled to take.
Mr.. D'Israel considered the explanation of
the Government as most unsatisfactory, con-
tending that it was violation of international
law to lombard an unfortified town. The
French Government had sought redress, though
the English Government had failed to do So
but he believed that public opinion being
brought to bear upon the matter would lead to
a different course being adopted.
Lord John Russell approved of the course to-
ken by the Government in regard to the claim
for compensation, but thought that explanation
should be demanded as to the insult to the Brit
ish flag. The case Of China had been referred
to, but our conduct there had been most iagi-
tious, and so totally opposed to justice that it
was precedent that he hoped would never a.
gain be followed.
The subject was then dropped

LATER FROM UTAH.-The Sacramento (Cal.)
Union furnishes us with later dates from Salt
oaKe city. party of ten men had arrived at
the Mormon station, with advices to April 20.
! The dlssensions among the Mormons had come
to an issue. Three hundred of those who had
become disguised with the rule of Brigham
Young. who go there by the appellation OF "a
2ostates," had left for the Atlantic States. Two
of the "apostates" had also arrived in Carson
valley, having run away from Salt Lake on the
4tll OF April, and swan Bear river, near by to
make good their escape. They tell some hard
stories about the condition of the saints. Ac,
cordlng to their accounts there are about g.
quo "apostates" at Great Salt Lake, who are
IN constant fear of band OF bravoes, elm
ployed by Brigham Young, known as the "Des-
troying Angels" They say that dead bodies
are constantly found about that place; and that
while the Mormons attribute their murder to
the Indians, the "apostates" believe they are
murdered by the destroying Angels" They
also represent that the leading Mornons preach
openly against permitting any women or chill
dren to live there.
Kemptons party was accompanied the first
day, as far out as Bear river, by President Brig
ham Young. On the 26th of April he left them
for the north, intending to 60 by Fort Hall to
Salmon river, in Oregon Territory. His object
was to look out for new station in that coun-
try. Whether he was preparing to remove
there himself, or not, was not known:
At Great Salt Lake there had been little or no
money during the winter Wheat was selling
at 81 per bushel, and good cattle were very
cheap for cash. Provisions were plentiful. A
train of forty hand.carts, with three missona-
res to each cart had left for the States and Pres
ident Young had sent off forty tons of flour to
supply his stations between that place and the
Missouri river

SAD OccURRENoE.-A young man named 10.
seph HAWTHORN, from Sbippensburg, Pa, was
drowned in North River, near Lexington, on
Friday, the 26th ult. He and two other young
men-W. II. Kahe and J. G. Bonde-were on
a fishing excursion, and HaLthorn and Kahle
went into the river to battle. The former, who
was an Indifferent swimmer, undertook, against
the advice of Kahle, to swim across the river at
point where the water was very deep. When
he reached the middle of the river he lost his
presence of mind, and called for help. Bond was
not present, but Kahle swan to the relief of his
drowning companion, who seized him in such a
manner that his own life was nearly lost. He
succeeded in reaching the bank, entirely ex-
hausted, and HAWTHORN sank to rise no more
Efforts were Immediately made to recover the
body, but unsuccessfully until Sunday. when it
was raised by means of drag made of fish
hooks. HAWTHORN was about twenty-four years
old, and had been in Lexington only about five
weeks.

THE UGLY CLUB.-A correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch gives an account of the Ugly
Club of Washington College, Lexington. The
meeting was held on the evening of the 1st inst,
in the College Chapel, which was densey filled
and running over. The ceremonies consisted in
the presentation of pair Of Boots to the Ug.
Hest member of the Club, and HIT TO the best
looking, or rather least deforlned member. The
President announced that an address, explanato-
nv of the object OF the association would first be
delivered by Mr.. II. McCutchan, Of Augusta
county. which was done in good style, and gave
evidence of considerable smGrtness to say the
least Mr. W. W. Houston, of Wheeling, then
delivered the Hat to Mr.. j. Fry, of Kanawha
county, which was accompanied with appropri-
ate remarks and responded to by the favored re-
cipient in becoming and graceful manner.
Mr.. W. NJ. Brown of Highland county, the
worthy president of the Club, then presented
the Boots to Mr. Snyder, of the same county,
who by his unmistakable ugliness was rewarded
with the highest mark of their appreciation and
regard. He acknowledged the enviable distinc-
ton in speech of as much merit as could have
been expected under the circumstances

LIE EXCITEMENT AT NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. al
Lynch Laao.-Able, the gambler, who shot Ey-
erson, at Memphis, Tenn, came near being hung
on the 26th ult 1t appears that a town meet
ing had assembled, and that it was resolved to
request the Mayor to double the police, and also
moved to appoint q committee OF vigilance
The Appeal, however, says:
Before the chair had a chance of appointing
the committee, man who, we understand, is a
resident of Mississippi, arose and made propo
sition that if one hundred men would follow
him he would lead in taking John Able out OF
jail and hang him. His proposition was receiv-
ed with shouts and some three hundred of the
assemblage left the hall and followed him.
Mr.. Daniel Hughes immediately after arose
and addressed the audience. lie appealed to
them to support the laws, and not let strangers
interfere in the affairs OF Memphis. Col. Satfar-
rams followed in the same vein. The remarks
of these gentlemen seemingly had but little eff
feet and soon the Lal was deserted.
The crowd went to the jail, forced open the
doors and took out John Able, the murderer of
John Everson. With chains upon his person,
he was hurried some two squares to the end OF
the rope walk, where it was proposed to hang
him. Arrived there, the crowd having him in
charge found his wife, mother and sister, who
made such pathetic appeals that by nearly u
unanimous vote it was resolved to take INN back
to Jail and let the law have its course Able was
taken back and lodged in a cell, and for a few
minutes all seemed satisfied.
A cry arose, chang him." and soon o crowbar
was brought into requsition, aud the outside
door of the jail forced. Several speeches were
made, and finally the crowd dispersed, with the
understanding that the law would be permitted
to have its course
The rope was placed around Able's neck three
times, but he displayed no signs of fear. He
addressed tie crowd as did his mother. Able
said lie desired to settle up his accounts, AID in
a cool manner stated he had very nearly got
through with his arrangements, so far as his
property was concerned. The matter is now
left with the grand Jury and the criminal court.

TIE BosroN SPIRITUAL TEsr.-FaiIurc Of the
"Aediums." I've have already had occasion to
refer to an offer made by one of the editors of
the Boston Courier, TO the so-called spiritual
mediums" of that vicinity, of $500 if they should
successfully perform in the presence of compe
tent scientific gentlemen, any one of the many
feats they pretend to accomplish through prefer
natural influences. We have also mentioned
that the experiments thus invited were in pro-
gress during last week under the supervision of
thirteen persons these being able Professors of
Harvard College on one hand and the most dis
tinguished mediums" in the country on the 9TH
er. These test meetings have now closed, and,
of course, with complete failure. The ''medi-
ums," no weyer, were out on Saturday evening,
in the "Gazette," with an attempt to forestall
public opinion, and, while admitting all that sane
people care anything about knowing, namely,
that they did fail, endeavor to keep alive their
future prospects by charging it upon the 'con-
ditions" imposed upon them.
