Free Lrade Demonstration.
LONDON, Dec. 1S.-A great demonstra-
tion in favor of free trade was made
at Rochdale tonight. JOHN Bright and
Thomas Bayley Potter were present.
Resolutions were paseed thanking Potter
Tor bis efforts, and those of free traders in
the Uuited States, to promote free trade
with America, Potter made q speech in
which he said he reciprocated kindly the
sentiments expressed by Americans to.
wards Englishmen at many gatherings
which he attended in America. He paid
a high compliment to the sobriety and
fraternal behaviour of the Americans, and
concluded by presenting TO Bright a
number fof congratulatory letters from
chief American cities, in which hope was
expressed that Bright would see America
before he died. Bright, in reply, said he
could not adequately express his thanks
for these letters. He had received hun-
dreds of invitations to visit the United
States, including one from President
Hayes 10 stay at the White House as long
as he liked, but he was obliged to decline
all of them. He hoped that his friends in
the United States would believe that he
fully appreciated their kindness, but he
feared there was little chance of his ac.
cepting their invitations. Mr.. Bright
then proceeded to descant on the yastness
of the United States as compared with
Earopean countries, and concluded by
saying he believed there was no country
with whom all other countries were more
friendly than with the United States

LONDON, Dec. 13.-Several large land
agitation meetings were held in West
moreland to-day. A meeting at Ballina
was presided over by Catholic Clergy
man. A corps of pikemen surrounded the
place of meeting. Letters were read from
Parnell, Patrick, James Smyth, John
O'Conner Power and Edmund Dwyer
Gray, apologizing for their absence.
Among the speakers were several Catho-
lie clergymen. The government reporters
were present taking notes ofthe speeches.
Brown in his address stated some of the
causes of the distress to be the competi-
ton of American produce and bad seasons
at home. All ofthe speakers advocated
the peasant proprietary system.
Heavy Failure.
PEORIA, Dec. 1S.-Themas Neil, local
cattle king, whose operations have been
very heavy, failed for from two to three
hundred thousand dollars, probably the
latter amount. He was widely known and
universally respected as benevolent, COM
scientious and upright. His whereabouts
is unknown.

give me a suitable force to take Charles

the United States. As If man who has
! toiled mp the ladder of life for fifty-two
years, and had reached the top round in
his profession, did not need little rest
NY own opinion is that If survived
those two engagements there is little
doubt that q Presidential campaign
would finish me. After have finished
my work hope to spend the remainder
of my days in peace and quiet with my
family ON the banks of the Hudson.
That this was not idle talk was proved
by his refusing the nomination of the
Democratic party. The battle of Mobile
bay is graphically described. at one
moment Of the fray the Brooklyn, one Of
the vessels Of the feet, was seen to back
by the Admiral on board the flagship
Hartford
"What's the trouble?n was shouted
through the trumpet from the flagship to
the Brooklyn.
'sTorpedoesF' was shouted back in
reply.
-Four beIlsl Captain Drayton, go ahead.
Jouett, full speedr' and the Hartford
passed the Brooklyn, assumed the lead
of the line, and led the feet to victory.
The romantic incident of the Admiral's
being lashed to the mast has led to con-
siderable controversy, says his son. The
difference of opinion resulted from the
fact that Farragut did not remain long in
one position. While the feet was enter
ing the bay she was in the Port main rig
ging, where he was secured by the sig
nal quartermaster, as before mentioned.
But when the ram made her attack he
had returned to the deck, and when the
Hartford was about to ram the Tennes-
see he took up his position in the port
mizzen rigging, where, as his flag
tenant (now commander). J. c. Watson,
says: I secured him by a lashing, passed
with my own hands, having first begged
him not to stand in such an exposed
place. It was no uncommon thing for
him to show activity of this kind, and
the sensible precaution suggested by his
feet captain, which he adopted, was an
afterthought.

Gone to the Bottom.

Next to the pirate ship Alabama
the Shenandoah, whose loss off the
island OF Scotia in the Indian Ocean
was reported the other day, was the
most famous of the rebel privateers
which preyed on the commerce of
the North during the late war. She
was built at Glasgow, Scotland, and
launched under the name of the Sea
King. On September 20, 1864, she
was purchased for the Confederates,
and after being fitted out, cleared for
Matamoros. At Madeira she met the
steamer Laurel, which had previous
ly sailed from Liverpool with a cargo
of war materials, and officers and
men for the Shenandoah. These were
transferred to the rebel ship, which
then began her piratical career. She
subsequently, went to Melbourne, and
there strengthened her armament,
departing from that port in Febru-
ary, 1865. On July 18th, in that
year, intelligence was received in
New York that the Shenandoah had
destroyed eight whaling vessels in
! the Arctic seas. This news came by
way Of San Francisco, where it was
brought by the bark Milo, which bad
been spared from destruction in
order that she might take the crews
Of the burned vessels to the United
States. This and subsequent reports
of the ravages worked by this
scourge of the seas created intense
excitement and anxiety throughoul
the New England whaling ports
Hostilities had long before come to
an end, but still reports continued te
arrive of the Shenandoah's destruc
tive work. Her captain, it was said
had been told of Lees surrender, bul
refused to believe it, and consequent
ly continued his cruise. Finally, or
November 6, 1865, the rebel pirat,
ship arrived at Liverpool, and wa
there given up by her commander t.
| the British authorities. Her officer
and crew, numbering 1873 men, wer,
allowed to depart without punish
ment, and after some delay the She
pandoah was surrendered to the con
| sui of the United States at Liverpool
| She was subsequently, the subject o
almost as much diplomatic CORES
pondence as tho pirate Alabama. Th'
Geneva arbitrators decided that th'
British Government, by the failur,
to exercise due vigilance, became re
| sponsible for all the acts of the She
nandoah after her departure iron

can citizens caused thereby were in

DECAPITATION ON BLACKWELL'S =

The complaint of Warden vought of the Black we'll s
Island Almshouse, against DIR. Stubenbord was not
heard before the Commissioners of Charities and
Correction yesterday, owing to grave defect In the
phraseology of the charges. Somehow the Warden
got into his head that the doctor had beheaded the
venerable Fitzpatrick. and the venerable Strub
much after the fashion of Communipaw butcher
in dealing with an aged COW on her way to the New
York market as beef.
IL supposed the doctor had cut the heads Oh like
that said Commissioners Brennan to HERALD

forehnger of his right hand across his throat In
very suggestive manner.
Now, IL must have been PLAIN to any one who had

In the most scientific manner and then 30 skiifu,ly
to dress the remains that would not be easy to see
any traces OF the knife Even the were undis-
turbed 1t is true that he boiled the skulls in little
covered kettle, but lac did 1t after the approved
methods OF the medical faculty. This In something
very different from cutting oH the heads Of the two

In consequence of all this the Warden has asked
to be allowed to amend his charges In accordance
with the facts and then the Commissioners will de-
tcrmine whether the doctor ut the Alnshouse has
the right to remove the skulls of the dead patients
in scientific manner and boil them according to
