guilty of vulgarity and inpertiAcnce,
but they are and wc speak of their

had spent several years before the
war with his cousin, Colonel ]. Mar

most invalid youths, he possessed q
mind of extraordinary quickness and
strength, which he had improved so
far as to be most interesting and en-
tertaining companion for men Of the
highest Intelligence.

A NOTABLE event has occurred In
London. An English company "for
the propagation of the Gospel In
New England" has authorized its
board of commissioners to "sell tho
Manor of Criswell and all other ma
nors and hereditaments In the county
Of Suffolk belonging to the company!
These various properties are to bo
sold forthwith, by private contract,
for the stipulated sum Of 5000, ,OOO.--
What the object Of the company Ia,
in turning Its lands and tenements
into hard cash, Of course we don't
know. 1t may be, that 1t has been
found utterly useless to make any
further attempt to propagate tho
Gospel among people so self-opin-
donated as those OF New England.

ton of Captain Donaldson, of the
steamer Great Republic, charged with
shooting Henry Anderson, a negro
hand on his boat, was conducted to-
day before Judge Dennison. Of the
Police Court. The defendants coun-
sci desired to waive an examination,
but the Judge overruled it. Only
two witnesses were examined, Samuel
Ray, porter Of the boat, and Lawrence
Glover, cabin boy, who was hand
cuffed and confined in the same room
with Anderson.
Glover testified directly to the fact
that Donoldson shot Anderson, put
ting pistol to his ear and firing.
Ray testified that a pistol was fred
while he was in the room, but he did
not see it. as he was drawing whisky
from a barrel, and his back was
turned.
Donaldson was committed to jail
for murder in the first degree, and the
witnesses were bound over to appear
before the grand jury.
A large crowd was present at the
examination, most of them negroes,
and much interest was manifested IN
the proceedings.
