Majesty's gunboat Goshawk, which is
distributing meal among the western
islands, writes from Innishark, off Gal
way, as follows: DIT is o terrible state
Of affairs; fifty families here eke ont
miserable seaistenocs. Their houses
are small heaps of dirty stones, and
their land is rock andisoft bog; hanger
and want are everywhere visible, and
people go naked and without food.
Many are slowly starving to death.
Such scenes of appalling destitution
i never before Witnessed; the more we
saw the more certain did death from
starvation appear the ineyitablc fate of
nearly every lnHn, woman and child on
the island. In many cabins children
erouched silisering and almost naked
around the FIRE; when 4 entered they
sprang ibehipd their another, whose
single garment, a thin dress, was bat a
slight protection against the wind,
which blew through aibroken roof. On
the fire was slinner-1a pot of brown

Thos. Stevens, of timber notoriety,
and late of the parish of Vernon, on
the llth inst, waylaid and killed one
Powell near the old Nix ferry on Sab
inc river in Galeasieu parish, who was
said to be his son-in.law and partner
IN the timber business. 1t is said that
Stevens usually employed men to cut
and laneh timber for him, and then on
some epretext raise row and run them
off with liis gun. This time his game
lid not win, the two men, Powell and
another got on the timber, went to
Orange, sold it, and when Stevens ar
rived gives him his half of the money.
Stevens left Orange before the other
two, and when they had arrived Mt the
house Of the deceaseds' partner-he en-
,deayored to pursaaele Powell from go
ing further, and told him that Stevens
would way-lay and kill and rob him.
and sure enough, when in short dis
lance of home he was sshot--dead in
his tracks. a physician was in at
tendance on Stevens family that, even
ing, and saw Stevens take lGsgun, and
had about time to walk half "a mile,
where the gun fired, atithe report of
winch AIRS. Stevens exclaimed, that
gun killed powell. Stevens stertly
afterwards returned put up his gun
and looked very much agitated.
Stevens was arrested in Texas, but
mo evidence could be brought against
him and he was released; but when
sheriff Lyons gets ton his track he will
be lodged in Caleasien jail, where he
belongs, until sentence of death IS
passed upon him, if the facts as they
come'to as are anything like true.

before the scoroner aad his jury over
the body of Matt Woodhef, who was

say that the aatien Of the sheriff and

1T seems that Woodlief had a friend
