Orangemen are largely in the majority. They know
their power and it. 1t is not probable that the
Orangemen will withdraw. The vote to turn out
Yesterday stands IL to II.
There is great excitement in the city and much
drunkenness. There is some illumination, but it is
not general.
By order of the Duke of Newcastle, Sanderson,
the Princes steward, had all eatables prepared
shore for the Prince and suite, even to the half
cooked meats brought on board the Kingston,
which lays at anchor by small island opposite the
city. The royal party is therefore prepared for
long siege.
On shore crowds of people are following troop
of fantasticals. A few houses are lighted up, a
bonfire or two blaZes, and rockets are fired.
The Conference Committee of the Common Coun-
ell have not had much success. The members of
the country lodges have gone home to rest, and the
city lodges will not promise finally.

MURDER ON HIPBOARD-BRUTALITI ON
THE HIGH SEAS-A MAN JUMPS OVER
BOARD TO ESCAPE VIOLENCE AT THE
HANDS OF THE MATE.
About o'clock last evening the packet ship FL
della, from Liverpool arrived at this port and
towed to her dock at the foot of Beekman street.
Before being made fast to the dock, however, one
of the crew succeeded in getting ashore and in Sc
curing the services of policeman of the Second
Precinct. The sailor in few words made COM
plant against Seymour W. Benedict, the first
mate, and David Furguson the second mate, charg
ing them with causing the death of one of the
crew (name unknown). Relying upon his state
ment, the officer went on board the Fidelia and
rested Benedict and Ferguson, both of whom he
conveyed to the Second Ward station-house. The
prisoners followed to the police station by
Thos. Mcdonald, John Smith, Peter Lynch, and
James Slone, four of tbe crew, who presented to
the sergeant in command the following statement,
which they signed in his presence
The packet ship Fideia, of the Black Ball line,
sailed from Liverpool on the morning of the 18th

stopper, the man on the lookout let go the ring
stopper in mistake, as there was no stop on it
The mate ran forward, and asked what son of
b-h was that on the look out. With that he
knocked him down three times. Whether he had
weapons or not we cannot say, but the man was
severely cut and bleeding terribly Then the mate
went aft, but came forward in short time and
knocked him down again several times He lay
there bleeding. The man at the wheel struck
eight bells. The watch then called, when
came deck. They were heaving at the capstan
to get the anchors up to the cat-head. Then the
mate called out avast heaving, and the that let
go of the ring-stopper was heaving on the bar in
front of me (McDonald); the mate, looked at him
and said this is you, you son of b-h, and struck
him in the face. The man who was struck says
that will do this watch. The man went down on
the main deck. The first mate said to the second
mate pick that son of b-h up, make him heave
in the slack chain. With that the second mate
sung out, 'where you ?" The man answered,
"here | am, washing the blood off myself" With
that the second mate threw ahandspike at him and
said: ''You son of b-h, come up here" taking
up another handspille and making a run towards
him. The man aft, and the first mate met him
at the gangway and made blow at him. The
man said, "Lord have mercy on me-" and jumped

overheard, and the captain came on
deck and ordered the boat to be lowered. The
mate said let the son of b-h drown and be id.
We lowered the boat, and looked all around but
could not find him. The boat was hauled on board
again, and the ship proceeded on her passage
We wish this to be looked into and we will swear
to the truth. Signed

give the name of the deceased, and could furnish
but an imperfect description of him.
