A tSINGULsRITY.--Rev. Mr.. Hughes, of
Bloomington, a distinguished divine,
preached at the. Vine Street Presbyterian
Church yesterday to large and deeply in
terested congregation. Some two wears

ANOTHER. UNION VIcToRY.-Two friends
at Elisabethtown, Hardin County, Illinois,
send us the result of the special election,
held in that county on Thursday last, for
county Judge. The Union candidate, Col.
=. Nj. Terrell, was elected by 80 majority.
Atthe regular election, the Copperheads
carried Hardin County by about 40 votes,
on the state ticket, though the Republi-
cans elected the sheriff and coroner. The
Union men of Egypt are acting wisely.
They do not disband and disorganize, now
that one battle has been fought and one
victory won. They prefer to follow up
| their victory and TO strengthen their posi-
ton. Our correspondent says: "This
county is getting pretty loyal, and the
Coppers are about gone up the spout"

EXCITING SALE BY AUCTTON.-Some TWO
hundred boxes and packages, which had
accumulated in the Adams Express office,
and which had not been called for, or had
been refused, were sold at auction, on Sat-
urday, at Hiram Nelson's auction room
on Main Street, near Third Street. The
scene was highly exciting The store room
and the sidewalk were crowded, and the
bidding was very spirited. Early in the
| day, one man struck lead. He bid 81 70
on package, which was knocked down
to him; and, on opening it, he found it
contained two shawls, an amber cigar
holder, and an old-fashioned guinea gold
| watch. His streak of luck gave new Inn
petus to the bidding; boxes and bales went
off with rush: and, as the lucky purchas-
er handed over the stamps and carried OF
his prize, he was followed by a crowd OF
curious friends ready to congratulate him,
If he struck gold mine The facial ex-
pressions of different individuals as they
opened their 50 TO SIS boxes-tofind theskeie-

SOLDIERS FESTIYAL.-There was q grand
Festival held in Terre Haute, on Wednes-
day night, Thursday, and Thursday night
of last week, under the auspices of the
Grand Army of the Republic, for the bene-
fit of the soldiers' widows and orphans in
that city and in Vigo County. The Express
pronounces it a grand success in every par
ticular. From the description in the Err
press we would infer that it was splendid
affair. Throngs of fair ladies and brave,
liberal-hearted men were present, and
every appliance was brought to bear to
make the Festival pay.
Among, the fortunate parties who en-
gagged in many raffies were Mr.iW. w. 10

drew the China Dinner Set, valued at $500;
Mrs. Geo. Butt drew the Diamond Ring,
worth $50; Mrs. Wolf, the Dinner Castor,
worth $50; Mr.. j. H. Hager, the Wine Cas-

The Agent of the Royal Insurance Company,
in his communication inserted in another part
of this paper, states that he has been informed
by letters from England that the cost of a first
class fire engine is not less than $1,000 ST..
We think that the agent in writing for 50 first
class fire enginc'' has unintentionally misled
the Directors of his Company, since such an
engine is considered in England to be a steam
fire engine and not, what we supposed he in
tended, q first class land engine. When the
Directors learn the amount Of fire risks which
their Company has taken through their agent
here since the late fire, We do not entertain a
doubt but that they will be willing to send us
a hand engine Of sufficient power to suit our
purpose. We trust that the Agent will lose
no time in correcting this misunderstanding, as
we apprehend it is, and secure to this town at
least one good hand engine of sufficient power
to play on the roof Of d high building,

Kingston, Feb

hlngSton, February 24.
The Royal Commission has been sitting
daily, hearing the evidence Of all brought
before them as 10 the cause of The dIstur-
bance, and The means employed for It's
suppression.
The proceedings have been watched by
Messrs. Gorrle, Payne and Phillips on be.
half of DR.. UnderhiII, Mrs. Gordon, and
other sufferers and by Mr.. G. VIM Wal
cot on behalf OF Governor Eyre.
The Commission has been most studi-
Gus in the prosecution Of their work,
finding mauy witnesses in the Bath dis
trict. Commissioned Quincy went to
Morant Bay and Stony Gut to take evi-
dence there. 1t has been proved that
during the martial law several women
were a0gged at ST. Thomas-in-lhe East.
All the political prisoners, tried by the
Special Commission for seditious language
and writings, have been found guilty, and
sentences of from 20 days to - months
imprisonment have been pronounced. Mr..
Levien, proprietor of the Comfy Union,
has been sentenced to Imprisonment for
- months for Iibeli0us articles against
the Government.
The Colonial Standard feels assured
that the report of the Royal Commission
will completely vindicate Governor Eyre
and the military and naval authorities,
for the course adopted towards the rebels
in ST. Thomas in-the-East, and that the
evidence adduced proves an organized Ia
surrectlon in that locality, whist the at
tempts made to bolster up charges of cru

ors have completely broken down.
Mr.. Eyre continues to receive address
es expressive of sympathy and approba-
ton from the various bodies in the island.
Major O'Connor also receives his share
of public sympathy.
The Morning Journal says that there is
no alteration from the good order which
prevailed at the departure of the last mail.

Dear Sir,

Dear Sir,
/ am sorry that | have been disap-
pointed in my hopes of soon having Il
powerful first class fire engine sent out
from England, as the forerunner Of three
such desired s"when sufficient risks had
been taken in the two towns and COun-
try,'' my packet letters informing me,
that the first cost of such an engine
would not be less than 9l000 Sterling,
which is considered to represent an out
lay far beyond what "thc Royals busl-
ness in St. Croix will bear.
l should be very happy under such
circumstances that a way might be found
by which our official Fire Brigade could
be organized so, as TO attract to itself
the valuable volunteer elements that
have lately sprung up among us, as 1t
would lead to the general security Of
the town.
In this latter respect my Actuary
writes me "Unfortunately these (lres)
are occurrences which in towns of infe-
rior constructions, either as regards the
walls or the roofs of the buildings, must
be considered as almost certain to happen
from time to time, and the rates of jnSur-
Gnce must be calculated so as to meet
not only the destruction of single build
ings, which will be more or less frequent,
but also to provide against calamitirs on
"a scale such as you have Just Witnessed"

THE Steamer Shannon arrived on Sunday
at st. Thomas with the European Mails to the
18th ulto.
Prussia and Austria are still undecided
whether their quarrel regarding the Duchies
should be decided by the sword or by mutual
concessions. The line of conduct which France
might pursue in the event of a German civil
war is to them a matter worth considering
and negotiations are said to be opened with a
view to the discovery of this matter.
The news of the late conflagration in this
Island had been received in the mother coun-
try with many expressions of commisseration for
the sufferers. A subscription to aid them was
instantly set on foot and by the latest accounts
