ALLEGED Felony on the High Seas.

An examination was had Saturday, before
U. S. Commissioner VIM. H. Clifford, Esq, of
Mark Sullivan of this city, I'd mate OF brig l..
t. Knight Capt Cummings, on complaint
of manslaughter in causing the death of Will
liam Finch seaman on board said vessel, on
the night of Sept. Sd, during the passage of
the brig from Havana to this port. George
E. B. Jackson, Esq, Assistant U. S. District
Attorney, appeared for the Government Snl-
Ivan had no counsel.
From the evidence of Capt. Cummings and
the crew of the vessel, it appeared that on the
night of the 3D. of September the chief mate of
the vessel was lying at the point of death with
yellow fever and the Captain was in attendance
upon him. Sullivan, the I'd mate, had charge
OF the vessel at the time. Going on deck he
found the man at the wheel steering wrong
course. On asking him why he SO steered, the
reply was, "Finch told me to steer full and
BY. Sullivan then went to the forecastle
and asked Finch, whose watch was below,
why he gave such course to steer. Finch
returned an impertinent answer, and after
some words jumped out of his bunk, went on
deck followed the I'd mate round the vessel
while the latter was engaged in trimming the
sails, desiring to fight with him. Sullivan de-
clined lighting, said he wanted nothing to do
with Finch, and remarked that he, Finch,
ought to have some respect for the mate who
was dieing, and not make a noise. Finch re-
piled that he hoped he would die and contin-
ued to follow up the I'd mate until a scuffie
between the parties ensued.
Finch was heard to say to the I'd mate,
"you have Delaying PIN; and the I'd mate
was heard to reply, well, you have knife"
In few moments Finch staggered towards
the cabin and met Capt. Cummings, who was
just coming on deck, put his hands on his
shoulder and remarked, "Captain, am dead
mani have been stabbed" After being laid
down on the deck he expired in few min
utes.
Sullivan, the I'd mate, was stabbed in the
knee by Finch SO that he was confined for
week. None Of the witnesses saw the knife
with which the stabs were made, but it was in
evidence that Finch always carried sheath
knife, and that the only knife Sullivan had
was coarse jack-knile, which at that time
was below Finch's knife was not found after
the fracas.
The story Of Sullivan is that Finch grabbed
him and stabbed him in the knee. As one of
his, Sullivan's, hands was disabled, in order to
prevent Finch from doing him any harm, he
caught him from the back around both arms.
1t was in this position, so Sullivan says, that
Finch, in attempting to stab Sullivan in the
arm missed his mark and stabbed himself in
the breast, from which blow he died
Capt. Cummings gave Sullivan good char
acter. After the testimony was out, the As
sistant District Attorney remarked that he
thought it his duty that the matter should be
investigated, but he did not think there was
any testimony against Sullivan, and therefore
should not ask the Commissioner to hold him.
The Commissioner then ordered Sullivan to
be discharged.

FOREST Cry DYE HoUsE.-At time
when cloths Of every description are COM
manding high prices, there are many persons
who are compelled, by limited incomes, to
practice economy in the purchase of their
wearing apparel, and others who are not thus
compelled, choose to practice economy to en-
able them to do more In aid of the Govern
ment, the sick and wounded soldiers, and their
families, or in relieving such cases of poverty
as may come to their knowledge. One of
the ways of economizlng is to have garments
that are partially worn and faded, colored, and
if necessary made over, so as to appear aas
good as new" Messrs. Ward & Lewis have
just opened an office at 315 Congress street,
where goods of every description will be re-
ceiVed for coloring. Mr.. Ward has been en-
gagged in the business twenty-five years, and
has had charge of some Of the best pyeing
establishments in New England He comes
to this city highly recommended and we have
no hesitation in commencing this firm to the

versal satisfaction. We have never seen in

better trained. Their gymnastic performances
are OF the highest order and the great wonder
is In all who witness their exhibitions how it
is possible for the human form TO 90 through
such feats of agility, muscular strength and
beautiful motions. While in this city their
conduct has been above reproach and their
business affairs have been managed with
piomptness and good faith. We commend
sals Troupe to all "whom it may concern"
Inc people wherever they go will find them
mos. excellent actors, well behaved gentlemen
ana honest and faithful in their business rela-
pops We take pleasure in commencing such
