MASSACRE,

Abyssininns Murder n Party of EngIishmen.
From further information received at Newport,
it appears that Mr.. Powell was accompanied by
a Mr.. Maccree q Scotchman, who also met with
the same cruel fate as the others forming the
party. In a communication dated the 7th May,
Mr. West, the English Consul ut Alexandria,
writes 10 Mr.. Maccree's brother, giving short
account of the progress of the party previous
Maccree had taken Mr.. Powell to a
rather dangerous part of the country, and
it would have been better if they had
gone in another direction, where the party
would have been safer the chiefs being more
friendly, and where equally as good sport in
lion hunting might be obtained. Then the con-
sui admits that information has just been re-
ceived of the cruel murder of Mr.. Powell, Mrs.
Powell, their child, and Mr.. Maccree, by the
natives. Two Swiss missionaries are said to
| have brought the news to the British authori-
ties, and preparations were in progress to start
an expedition up the country in order, If possi-
| BILE, to obtain further particulars. This letter
adds that unless prompt retaliation follows the
| brutal massacre, the natives will take courage,
| and it will not be safe for any Englishman to
| visit the country. Mr.. w. ii. T. Jenkins, a
brother of Mrs. Powell, Is, it appears, about to
| go out to Alexandria, so as to make every pos
sible inquiry respecting the sad affair.

diplomatic representatives of the United States rank
very low in the scale OF national grandeur being held

At Pugwash, Canada, few nights
ago, the house OF a family named
Crowly having taken fire, all the in
mates, except three small children,
had escaped; but these were sleeping
up stairs, and the fire below made il
impossible to reach them. Finally,
the mothers screams from without
awakened the eldest, daughter not
twelve years old, who came TO "A win
dow, and was urged by her mother to
throw herself out, but she answered: ::
'NO, my brother and sister must be
saved She then returned through
the heat and smoke twice, and after
throwing the two younger children
from the window she let herself drop
to the ground, q distance of sixteen
feet, and when she rose said: I'm
done, mother, but / have saved my
brother aud sister from being burnt
up" The mother and children then
walked six hundred and seventy
yards naked (fOr none of their cloth

The Prince was incorrectly reported
to have arrived at Ismali few days

LONDON, November 20.-Recent dis
patches, announcing the suppression
of the Dalmatian insurrection, were
premature, as the news has just been
received that the Austrian forces have
captured a defiie heretofore held by
the insurgents, near Fort Dragley,
with loss of only thirty men.
The double sculiing match at New

THE XVIII AMENDmENT.

The XNth Amendment fails TO find
favor in Tennessee. The lower branch
of the Legislature in that State refused
to ratify II by the decided vote Of fifty
seven 10 twelve. 1t is confidently
stated that the Senate will do like
wise. 50 the XVIII Amendment Jig
IS up so far as Tennessee is concerned.
Ia Alabama q different feeling pre-
vailed. The amendment WAS rati-
fied-in the Senate, twenty-lour ayes
and no nays and in the House, sixty
nine TO sixteen.
There is just this difference between
the condition OF the two States: Ten
nes5t4e is reconstructed, and Alabama
il not. The Legislature Of Tennessee
vote3 Independently, but that Of Ala

doubt ifthe utilization was submitted
