MURDER AND SUICIDE ON THE HIGH SEAS. The brig Her Majesty. arrived at Queenstown on Friday marniog, from alome', with • cargo of Indian corn, and soon the particulars baeame public of a dreadful tragedy which hod been enacted on b raid on the 38th of June. I appears (says the Cork Examiner) that among the crew, which animated to about n;ne in all, war an Irish seaman, named Veale, who had been very bully conducted on the voyage, and who, on the day refined to, imteed of being no deck, on ss etch, was found asleep in the galley. The captain (William Weigh', of Whitby) hereon got a bucket of water, and threw it over him. Vials w.:ke up in a rage, and drawing out a large eare•koile, ran after the captatta, and stabbed him in several places. Yeats then ran into the state room of the mate, and stabbed him three times. While he was thus engaged a seaman, named Bald, and ano-h?r, went into the captain's state room to bole f firearm,. Fortunntely they had fastened the door, for Veale rushed r, and drove the knife through the panel in an elf ,rt to break it in. Foiled in his design he went on deck, and it is supposed threw overboard the bodies of the captain and the mate, as they were never seen again. He then want forward to the forecastle, and stabbed two Hi mien who were sleeping there, killing one of them, the cook Samuel Weekee, and inflicting on the other several severe wound,. Meantime Bald stole up the companion, with a pair of loaded pistols, and, while doing so, his head being in a bent posture, he was met by Teale, returning from his work of blood in Os forecastle, and received two stabs, one in the back and one in the shoulder. He fell down the ladder, and one of the pistols went off in the fall. Bald Rot into the state room, and remained some time preparing a musket. Presently he beard Veale attem-ding to scuttle the vessel with an axe, and be came up and, firing the musket, wounded him in the leg. This in all probability saved the wad, es there were found afterwards in the deck an . in the side of the vessel holes about from eight inches to a foot square. Veale retreated to the foreeastle, and shut himself up there,and Bald then came after him, and secured the scuttle. Bald and the other man then hoisted dimes as signals, which were answered by the Isabella, bound far 13?i1t01, the mate of which, with two sailors, went on hoard. On seinß down into the forecastle they found that Veils hod committed suicide by cutting his throat, after an ineffectual attampt to bang himself. His body sod that of the cook were tbrawn overboard, end Mr. Howe' the mate of the Isabella, then hack charge of the vista and navigated her into Queer stolen. On her arrival, the seaman who had been stabbed while asleep, and who was still alive and in a very bad state, was conveyed to hoopital, where he now lies in a very precarious way, but with some hope of his recovery. White this brutal transaction was taking place, a nephew of the owner, a little boy. who was on beard, got into the foretop, and so escaped uaisjured.

FREE PASSPORTS AND CHEAP TRIPS TO THE Faiscu Exuisirion.—The arrangements for feeilitatiog the visits to the Paris Exhibition, of men of moderate means, have recently snouted a new and more encouraging aspect. So long as it was merely a question of saving the cost of a passport, the inducement was too small to tempt any one. But now, seeing that, mainly through the instrumentality of the president of the French imperial commission, arrangemtn's have been made with the principal railway companies from London to Paris, to take parties helding these franked passports at half fare, whether in going or returning, the trip becomes a matter within the compose and means of many who, without this great reduction in the eat of travelling, would never have dreamed of visiting the Paris Exhibition. We believe we are not wrong in stating that his worship the Mayor of Manchester has determined to give a liberal construction to the letter of instructions he hes received from the government. According to rile terms of that letter such pompons were ooly to be. applied for by " workmen." It is manifest, however, tbst if this arrangement be strictly limited and literally interpreted, it must remain for the most part inoperative. hod, as the correct description of the occupation of all parties who may make application to the mayor for such passports will he transmitted to the Foreign-office, the error. if error it should be considered, of giving a large and liberal interpretation to the term workmen "wIU, doubtless, be at once corrected. —Manchester Oweedian. 13NoLlint0

FLOSINCS—Few operas which have lately appeared o• the Parisian stage have obtained a more genuine sancta this the above place, which was produced last week at the Grand Opera. It is the work of Signor Biletta, a young Italian cowpoxr who resided some yean in London, ►ere he was admired in our musical cite.= for his genies, aid esteemed for his excellent qualities. His English opera, The While Mope, brought out here during that period, notwithstandlog a very Imperfect performance, nude an impression which is not yet forgotten. Ile has been mere fortunate now ; and his aew opera, aided by the means red appliances of the great French musical theatre, has already laid the foundation of • reputation which it only lies with himself to maintain by future works. The Judgment of the public has been confirmed by that of the press. The most eminent entice ate unsoimons in their opinion, and vie with each other la the warmth of their commendations, and among his eulogists is Rector Berlioz himself, one cf the most illustrious of living zunoicisne. The subject of the libretto, which is by M. de St. George, is vary like that of oar well-known Adeiphi drama Vlc. torine. A young woman, on the eve et marriage, has admitted into her heart or fancy a liking for another man than her Aimed. Giving way to this weakness, she fells Into • course of folly, sinks deeper end deeper, till she resolves to end her woes by suicide. She throws herself into the river, aid waking, finds it was all the dream. Of course she takes the lemon, and is happy. This subject, if not now, is interesting, end is so nested as tv give room for excellent musical effects. The composer leas not throws the opp7rtunity away, and the manic is dramatic as well as beastifal. We find in Gefismain the following estimate of its merits, which may be taken as a concise ezpremion of the general opinion of the Parisian critics Opera plots are little subject to criticism, and the prineat 14 Leith= better nor worse than the average ; the best point in it is, that it affords due opportunities for the empower to display his talents.
