Ra% 4 case of the most shocking cruelty has
recently occupied the attention of the conrt at
Singapore. A Chinaman being indebted to one
Goah Jee has servant for wages, and the lat
ter becoming importunate, he determined tore
lieve himself of his presence in the following
manner: Having secured the services OF tour
other of his conutrymen, they seized the unlor-
tunate Goah Jee, and having suspended him
bv his tl from a tree-his feet not touching
the ground-they beat him severely with poles,
and then proceeded TO gouge out his eyes with
n piece of bamboo Having accomplished this,
thev. with an iron nail, severed the eyes which
were hanging suspended down his checks. AT
ter this he became senselesS, and having bound
him with ropes, they finally threw him into
the neighboring swamp, hoping that he would
there perish. But it was not so, for, yetnrn
ing to consciousness, he managed to grope his
way to a friends house close by and gave III
formation to the police of the whole affair
They were all seized and brought to trial I;
the ringleader was sentenced to be executed,

THE SENATORIAL CONFERENCE.

The Conferees for this Senatorial District

nate Republican candidate for Senator

Conference after organizing, proceeded to fix
the number of Conferees to be admitted from

Conferees twelve.
The candidates before the Conference were
Hon. WM JEssUP, of Su'quehaDna Z. REED

by Wyoming, and HENRY MErcALF of Sulli-
van. The first forty or fifty ballots stood for
Myer votes, Jessup votes, Smith votes,

of vote, not affecting the result. After the
adjournment, at supper time, the name of NET
CALF was withdrawn and the Sullivan Confer

stand Myer 6, Jessup 4, Smith 2 Over one
hundred ballots were had with the same re.
suit, and at our latest accounts (up to Tuesday
night they were no nearer a nomination than
when they commenced.
The best of feeling prevailed in the Confer
ence--the members universally acknowledging
the necessity of an agreement before they sep
arate, but each holding on to his favorte, in
the hope that perseverance might win. OF
course, before a nomination can be effected
some one must give way, and we await the re-
suit with some anxiety, though without a
doubt that the Conference will eventually give

Bsg~ On Friday evening, the 18th Of August
last, as the mail train on the Erie Railroad
was passing through the village of SmithboTo
in the midst of IL terrible rain storm, the engi,
neer. James Tripp, saw something struck by
the COW catcher, and rushing ont of the window
in front of the engine and along her whole
length, seized man by the hair and held on
shouting TO the fireman: at is man, slow
the engine, slow the engine ~
Mr. Tripp held on while the engine ran at
least sixty rods. When stopped the man was
found to be Cornelius Yontz, of Smthboro, an
aged man who had gone cut on an errand,
holding over his head an umbrella The noise
of the rain falling on the umbrella prevented
him from hearing the engine until lie was
struck OF course both his ancles were smash
ed, and if it had not been for the singular dar-
ing OF Engineer Tripp, he must have been torn
TO pieces and scattered on the track
Mr. Yontz has entirely recovered excepting
the use of his legs. We do not know M
Tripp, but cannot help awarding to him the
honor of saving human life by risk:ng his own
TO an extent unparalleled in the history Of rail.

THE GREAT Revival The extensive religi
ous awakening in Ireland, greater than hereto.
fore in that country, is extending to Scot
land and Wales. 1t has reached the Golfers
of Staffordshre. and in one place it is e,tmat-
ed that there are five hundred converts From
among their own number, a collier has been
raised up who daily breaches the Word with
great power. In many Of the coal-pitS daily
prayer meetings and Bible readings are held.
In South Wales, so extraordinary is the revival
interest, that all the churches aud chapels are
crowded on week days as well as Sundays
Prayer meetings in churches, in school rooms,
in WORK shops, and even in fields, are held
morning and evening. In one town eight public
houses have been closed since the work began.
1t is now spreading into North Wales A
clergyman of the Established Church writes :
There is no enthusiasm, but a deep, profound
and awfully solemn impression" ia some dis
trictS, notorious for blaSphemy, an oath is now
never heard, and druukards in thousands have
become total abs;ainers. 1t is estimated that
10 two counties only, 5000 persons, within the
last FIVE months have been converted.

FOREIGN NEWS.

The Royal Mail Steamship Europa, from
Liverpool on the 9th ult, with three days
later intelligence from Europe, arrived at Hal

arrival is interesting It's reported from the
Zurich Conference that the Austrian and French
PIenipotentaries had regulated settlement of
the affairs of Lombardy with the consent of
the Sandman representative. The affairs OF
the Duchies, it is understood, will be treated
of directly between the Courts of Paris and
Vienna 1t was believed that the Conference
would be successfully terminated early during
the present month The object of the defen-
sive league formed by the provisional Govern
ments OF Tuscany and Bologna and the Dicta
tor of Modena, announced by the previous ar
rival, is to prevent restoration of the fallen
Government and to maintain internal order
The National Assembly of Modena had been
prorogued, after voting several important de-
crees Nothing certain has known relative to
the object of Prince PoNIATowsKI's mission to
Italy The Council of Ministers at Turin had
decided that it was proper to consult the allied
Powers particularly France, before deciding
upon the annexation of the provinces which
desired it, The Yenetians were complaining
that the conduct of Austria had not changed
since the peace. From Austria the rumors
ore again warke, and the Vienna correspon-
dents express the fear that the Italian ques-
ton will not be settled at Zurich. 1t is as
serted that the furloughs granted to the Ans
trian soldiers had been suspended, and that
seven of the corps d'armee are to be retained
upon war footing The fear of French in.
