Mr.. Sulliean's Benefit We are confident
that all patrons of the drama will be present
at Mr.. Barry Snllivan's benefit o-night. Two
OF Shakspeares plays are announced for the
occasion. and the public will have an oppor-
tunity of seeing this excellent actor in two
characters of an opposite description. As
Shylock, in the Merchant of Venice, we doubt
not he will exhibit those thrilling touches
of passion mot ''teariug passion to tatfers,')
which the perfection of acting requires, while
Petruchio will give him chance to display
nature in its more rollicking humor. The
Theatre offers attractions of the most superior
kind for to- night

Batkins had a loaded gun, which he was flour.
ishing about, greatly to the danger of BY stsnd-

had shot-pouch and game-ba sIung over his
shoulders, which made him look as savage as
one of the Ayrshire bulls exhibited at the Fair
last week. 1t appeared from the testimony
That Dr. Pleas is had bought some fowls Of
Batklns, rendering him a lve-duilar note,
which the latter was unable 10 change. A me-
gro, said to have been employed in the market
by Batkins, took the note and went tn get it
exchanged, but failed to return. With the
view OF having the negro arr lested, the Mayor
continued the case TO this morning. These
mishaps of VIM. Batkins originated in the IN
temperate use of whiskey.

IRISH VIEW OF THE POPE AS TEMPORAL
kISG-"John, Archbishop of Tuam, - has ad-
dressed letter TO Lord Palmerston in which
he say that the Catholics of Ireland revere the
Roman Pontif "as the uccessor of St. Peter
and the Vicar of Christ on earth and will
therefore, show themselves ready not only to
defend his spiritual authority over the entire
world, but likewise to assert his temporal as
we'll as his spiritual power throughout the
range OF his own dominions. They look upon
thai temporal power full, entire, and uncon-
trolled, to be essential TO the free exercise of
his spiritual authority; nor shall they ever
be content to see the holy father placed in q
subordinate and depend deent position that could
create suspicion that his acts for regulating
the spiritual interests of the Church might be
ELECTED or controlled by the preponderating
influence OF France, or Germany, or Naples,
or any other secular power"

DEATH OF AN INGENIOUS MAN.-Mr. James
G. Hendriekson, of Freehold, Monmouth
ty.weil known for his perpetual motion"
machine, died on Saturday last. lie had de-
voted his life to obtaining perpetual motion,
and his machines have been puzzle 10 all who
examined them, as they have certainly moved
for six wears without the application of any
external powers and apparently with no in
tention of stopping. Mr.. III. suffered much ri
dicule and persecution but he was, quiet,
honest and patient old man. He was once ar
rested at Keyport for practicing 'juggiery'
morality" At the trial, several builders,
millwrights, engineers and philosophers were
called, who testified positively that no such
motive power as that alleged could
drive the machine, and that there
must be some concealed spring. So the machine
was broken. but no motive was discovered
At the time of his death, Mr.. Ii. was engaged
in applying his machines to cloek-work. lie
had been SO much prosecuted by the incredu-
lous that he had provided secret place be-
meath the floor of his shop, where his last two
machines were deposited. II was in the form
locked, and the floor SO replaced as to avoid
suspicion. After his last illness commenced,
he made known this secret to his family,
who examined the spot carefully, and found
the contents exactly as described. The night
of his death, the shop was broken open, the
floor taken mp, the trap-door priced of, and
both models stolen. It is probable that the
family, in their visits, had not taken the same
precau,ion as the inventor, and some prying
eyes had discovered the secret. Fortunately,
the drawings are preserved and there is u
little machine, one Of the earliest made now
running in Brooklyn, where it has kept up lis
,ceaseless ticking for nearly six years. Mr.
modrickson leaves family Of four sons and
four daughters, all of them, we believe, given

raj blows and kicks, and rescued fhe woman.
who seemed to be much injured She after.
wards complained much Of her chest and
throat, until she died, on the lst Of November.
The owner Of Priscilla testified that her gen.
eral health, previous to this affair, had been
very good.
Dr. Peticolas gave statement Of the result
of post-mortem examinations. He found
large clots of blood between the heart and its
outer membrane and some blood on the out.
side of this membrane. An opening was dis
covered in the large artery or blood vessel
leading from the heart, and the interior of this
artery was considerably lacerated. He pre-
sumed the immediate cause of death was the
bursting Of the vessel which allowed the
blood to flow TO the heart. 1t would be diff
fcul. to give an opinion as TO the connec-
which caused death. If the disease ex-
isted at the time, any struggle, calculated TO
incresse the actisn of the heart, would have
accelerated II, and death might have been
FASTENED by violent pressure ON the chest
Doctor p. was questioned by the jurors on va
rious matters connected with his investiga-
tiol.
After hearing the testimony, the jury rem.
dered a verdict that the woman died from the
effects of a beating Inflicted by One- Eye Scott

HORRIBLE INDIAN MAssACRE-Nine Persons
Slaughtered.-An emigrant train, numbering
seventeen persons, from Buchanan county,
Iowa, was attacked by Indians on the night of
the I'd of September, and nine persons killed
The massacre occurred about twenty-five
miles west of Fort Hall. The emigrants were
surrounded just as they were about camping,
and shot down before they had time to pre-
pare for defence. Some who escaped fell in
soon after with company of dragons under
command of Lieut. Livingston, who sent a
detachment to the scenes of the massacre
The following is the description of what they
found:
"After informing the command of our dis
tress, Lieut.. Livingston sent a detachment of
nine men, with one of our company TO pilot
them TO the place Uf the massacre. On their
arrival they found the dead bodies of five per-
sons on the ground, out of the eight that were
missing The dead were horribly mangled
and scalped. One little girl, five years old,
had both her legs cut off at the knees; her ears
were also cut off, and her eyes were dug out
from their sockets; and to all appearance the
girl, after having her legs cut off, had been
compelled to walk on the stumps, for the sole
purpose of gratifying the hellish propensity
of savage barbarity Their animals were
taken and their wagons Plundered according
to the usual mode of Indian spoilation."
The names of the murdered are-Edward
otu. JT, w H.
Miltimore, Mary Ellen Miltimore, and Myron
Cline Mrs. Miltimore and child three months,
and Albert MiItimore.
After the Indians had completed their work
of murder and plunder with the Miitimore
party, they pressed ahead and attacked the
remainder of the train. Here they met a warm
reception, and were kept at bay by the incen-
sed and determined emigrants, until welcomed
darkness closed upon the scene, when the as
sailed finding further resistance fu lie, made
their escape, leaving the Indians possessors of
their stock and goods They Travelled on foot
two days without anything to eat and finally
reached a military post.

Ins uH1Ar BALLo0x.--Ths work OF in
dating the great trnns- Atianlic balloon beran
yesterday, IN Reservoir square, in the pres
thing done was to wrap several folds Of cotton
cloth around the end of the Gas pipe Attached
| temporarily to the main Of the Manhattan
us. Company's s works for the purposes o.
rust Of the pipe and to make soft bedding.
In order to prevent an escape Of gas. a can
vas sail was drawn along la the range Of the
neck OF the balloon, and one end placed under
the pipe, while the other end stretched
away 10 the spot where the valve was sus-
pended between two high poles. Beneath
Ihis canvas, straw was laid TO the depth of
eeFerai inches. These arrangements having
been completed, the neck of the balloon was
drawn toward the Pipe and.-the valve ropes,
OF small cotton cord, having been adjusted
vas placed over the pipe and drawn tightly,
SO as TO be made quite secure. Over this other
layers OF cotton cloth were wrapped and the
whole lashed to the pipe with strong twine
TO the length Of about Is inches. The balloon
was then folded in such q way as to- gradually
expand the case. On the folds heavy bags OF
sand were placed to keep them down This
having been done, the network, which is to be
thrown all over the balloon, and to which the
basket and the boat are to be attached, was
so disposed that there might be no entangle-
ment as the imitation proceeds and the
balloon acquires its ascensiye power. The
gas was turned on at TX O'Clock, and in
stantly rushed through the ten-nch pipe in
dense volume. In a very few seconds, the en-
tire neck Of the balloon was filled. and the
body of the balloon began TO swell. The pre-
caution of stafioning men all along the length
OF the balloon was by no means useless, as
they had quite enough to do to remove the
weights FROM places where the passage for the
gas was too small, and SO to adjust the folds
OF the cloth as TO secure equable passage
throughout During four minutes the metre
INDICATED that 7,6Uo cubic feet had been sup
piied to the Rriai ship. At 1925 the gas was
again turned on, and at l2:35 it had reached
the head OF the balloon, which began to ex-
pand AT the rate OF 1890 cubic feet of gas
per minute, the balloon ought to receive 81 500
feet per hour; and as the capacity of the bal
loon Is 725 0O0 cubic feet, it follows that if the
process OF imitation was continued at the same
rate, without Interruption, IL would be fully
innafed In six hoars and a half. The only
oraW back, and great one, is that the supply
OF gas by the company would not be equal to
the task, as it would not do TO leave the city
In darkness for the purpose af Initiating q bal
loon; Mr. Lowe will, therefore, be compelled
TO take his gas in such quantities as the CON-
pany choose TO furnish. The process Of infia-
tlon will be continued for some days.-N T.
