Sir , / _N . _naderiBg these circumstances , I am of opinion ll ~ , ~ _oei d be much better to hare four acres ; baliere me I _ .- _ , _^ -poroashly sick of the stinted means which has too

      loa » been my lot , and if ever 1 reach my hoped for farm j _ihould like to show the world a happy famil y , earning what they enjoy , and enjoying what they ' earn . I asa p * rsuaded two acres will not produce wheat , nuTiev , potatoes , turnips , flax , and the many other _ilaugs requisite for a fondly , with cattle sufficient to jnaise manure to ensure a succession of crops ; and if tte Land is not fed , it cannot long feed its occupier . H aving said thus much upon the necessity of having four acres , now for a word upon the means of obtaining it . There are two ways ; first , —the contributions already a jreed upon wiU provide it , bat it wiR be slow , as little store than half the aUotments can be purchased with lie same amount of money . Seeondly . —Suppose the shares advanced from £ 212 s . to £ 4 , this would meet the question is quick as the former sum would the two acre

      allottment , and as four acres would require more cattle and stowage than two , suppose £ 10 were added tothe _ £ S 0 pound for buildings , the property would be there , and would only require the rent regulated accordingly . _Ajain , asit is requisite that each dairy be furnished with a good copper , cacti kitchen with an oven , Irecommend that they be erected and sold with thc building . I fear , Mr . _Suitor , that too many of my class , like myself , will have little to spare for the purchase of such _indispsnsible articles ; therefore , everything that can be added to tiie building , to increase its permanent value and convenience , will materially decrease the difficulties which poverty will compel us to grapple with . With respect to the suggestions of counsel upon the mode of selecting occupants as the farms are got ready , I think it would prove the strongest stimulant possible ; one that

      would wage war with Deer , tobacco , and many other unnecessary stimulants ; still I consider this but a minor point ; fhe Land we want , and bj some means or other let ' s have it , and that in sufficient quantity , to ensure our retaining it . _—Sasiukl Goat , Norwich , Nov . 5 , 1845 .

V FOMCl" HUHBBG , AHD HIS _Cavossiovb _Chasqes against Ma . _Rosebts and ths _HiicEae * Association . —To the Editor of the Northern Star . —Sir , —I thank you for noticing my correspondence with Boyd ' s Weekly LondonNeiesp aper _, relative to . certain erroneous statements set forth in a previous number af that journal , of monies received by Mr . Roberts from the Miners of Bbrthumberland and Dorham . It has since transpired that that & lse statement ' was furnished by Mr . Wm . Thomason , late a lecturer j in the Miners' Association ,, but expelled because of inattention to the duties of his office . The last number i _« f the above paper contains a letter- from Thomason , -calling in question the _aocuracy of my reply to his former falsehoods . Sir , I reiterate ray former averment _, that the sums paid by me to Mr . Roberts are

      exactly aa per statement ; and tbat tke sunn m the detail , ana the aggregate , furnished by Mr . Thomason , are false , ond tfiatftew it no * onejwrtiefc o / truth inthe w hole of his letter , and Thomason must he as much . fool as knave , to give publicity to such g laring falsehoods . But , far , itis weR known in tbispart of the country that _Thomason'a real " grievance" is , that he was not permitted to live npon theMiners , _ashehadformerlylived upon the Chartist body , ana like others of his stamp , too lazy te ears a living by any honourable vocation , he takei to slandering and calumniating those who hare Sappfly succeeded ia thwarting his ignoble designs . This same weather-cock politician , Thomason , would not go to his _Appointment when in the pay of tie _aCajers * Association , because " he believed that the Miners * Execntive had appointed him to Wahw at the

      _instigation of Mr . O'Connor , knowing that he being a Chartist would , in all probability , get transported , and thus he would begot rid of ! . " Hew , Iputitnot only to Mr . O'Connor , but to any person acquainted with the _husiness of the Miners * Association , whether Mr . O'Connor did , at any time or place , give one sentence of advise relative to the appointment of lecturers or officials ? I can safely say , ana I have been present at all and every appointment made since fhe Association commenced , that nothing ofthe kind ever took place . Thomason says— "He wffl not be robbed in our _Association as he was in the Chartist f butduring the whole time lie was at _Xewcastle lie never paid a penny to ibe Miners' Association , and while , in the Chartist movement , he was a recipient and not a payer . When he . in connection with an impostor namod Mc .

      Bean , "lost himself * on AlnwickMoor , * and the Newcastle Chartists had to remit" fhe needful" to _ " loose " them , they had been previously supplied with £ 10 , Which thevncveracccountedfor : he was then a double receiver . T he Joint-Stock Provision Company , _established _atHewcastle , could teU a tale of misappropria tion of certain monies received by him . These are only samples ofhis low , mean , dirty tricks . He dares Mr . Roberts or myself to meet him . I hate met him , and slaU not faU to do so again at the first opportunity Perhaps he will come to Newcastle again , and I fear not to substantiate aH that Ihave stated with respact to Mr . Roberts and the Miners' Association , But , Mr . Editor , I shall , be f ore concluding , gire you thefouudation of Thomason ' s exaggerations . Mr . Stohoe , one of the executive members , states that he was waylaid night

      and morning by Thomason , who importuned him to give him a copv " of Mr . Roberts ' s expenses . At length , to get rid of him , he gave him a list of items Handed in by Mr . Roberts / or a future engagement , and the fool has taken this to be monev already paid 1 Farewell to the Charttefc * ei _& policy _^ Nev > move—Sttirgite—an & _Ta &* _- pendent Chartist politician—and if he writes a thousand times more false than he has done , he may do so , seeing that that it is the only means he has at present Of getting a living amongst the enemies of the working Classes . —I remain , yo ur obedient serrant , MARTIN Jcmr .. —P .

The letter inserted in the Leeds Times , in contradiction 0 f Hr . M'Gowan ' sstatementi is a monstrous febrication .

      Another Death Fsom Htorophobu.—A Melanch...

      Another Death fsom Htorophobu . —A melanchok case of death irom hydrophobia took place on Sunuay last , in the family of Mr . Callen , pictureframe dealer , No . 5 . Wellington-place , Goswellstreet-road , St . Luke ' s , whose son , Charles Callen , died on that dav , from the effects of that frightful malady . Abont four mouths ago hewas bitten on the lip by a dog of the black-tan species , and which belonged to a man who keeps a green-grocer s stall in that neighbourhood . As it was thought _. that the dog might bite some other person , and as it wasi partial to the unfortunate youth , who was in the habit of playing with it , the ovnier killed it , he not having any suspicions at thc time that it _was-in a rabid _ , _t _? _t __ Tha _wnnnrl . which bled a little , healed up .

      and there were no subsequent symptoms of any ill effects Ofthe bite till a few days before ha death . On Tuesday night he was with a party ot _tnenda in the company of his family . On the foUowing day he complained of an unpleasant sensation in his throat , whicli got worse on Thursday , when it waa deemed advisable to send for the family medical adviser , Mr World , City-road . After having prescribed some medicine , his fears were excited that the young man was labouring under an attack of hydrophobia He . inconsequence , applied to Mr . Colson , phjrsioian , uatwub

      Old Jewry , who inquired wnemer me Mu <•» any time been bittenby a dog . Upon being informed that he had , he at once stated that the complaint he was _suffering from was hydrophobia . The deceased for several homs afterwards endured the moat dreadful _paroxvsms of its attacks , and on Sunday morning , after being reduced by their violence to a state of the _greatest exhaustion , he gradually sunk and died , lie was about 17 years of age and an only son . SmcioE of a Female . — On Monday afternoon , the wife of Mr . R . Croft , jun ., residing at Acliffe , near Darlington , committed suicide - _^ _^^ _ehenjjf from one of the spars in an out-building near her

      house . Fbighifui . Accident—A distressing accidenthappened to a young man , aged 19 , named Bun , at Taunton , on Wednesday . He is apprenticed to anlumber and glazier , and was returning from work about eight o ' clock in the evening of Wednesday , _^ hiie passing the arcade he saw a cannon on the ground about to be let off , and cautiously turned away to avoid it ; but scarcely had he moved a step when the piece exploded and he fell , having received a wound in the back part of bis thigh , which the poor fellow believed had entirely carried away the limb , so great was the shock . After some little delay he was removed to the hospital , and here the extent ot the injury was found to be most serious . A foreign body was felt at the upper and inner sideof the thigh , llvin < T immediately under and distending _thelskin _.

      Another Death Fsom Htorophobu.—A Melanch...

      on . beinr cut doTO : and . _removedrit waa found to be * ragged portion of a brass cannon , upwards of two inches long and one inch broad . This dreadful missile had entered the outer-part of the thigh , opposite the point whence it was removed , causing a fearful wound : it traversed ( carrying with it in its course several portions of linen ) tMe wfi 0 i 0 thickness ofthe umb , grazing and partially fracturing the thighbone ; and , having most providentially avoided the large bloodvessel , was arrested in its career of destruction by the skin as before noticed , at a point opposite to that it iad entered by . The unfortunate sufferer , although in a most precarious condition , is , we are happy to state , going on as favourably as could be expected . ..

      _Collision os the Eastbbs Cocsiibs Raixwat . - _^ _VVALTHAM-CBogg , Monday Ammkoon . —Shortly be _« lore five o clock on Sunday _Imorning last , a train bf luggage cartages drew up in front of the Waltham station , having been some time detained on their journey by the failure of one ofthe wheels ofa goods , truck . When the injury was fully examined , it was discovered that some time must elapse , necessarily , before the damage cohW be repaired , and there being no means of removing the heavily laden waggons from the up-line of rails , and the mail train being nearly due , it was considered necessary to send down the line _oneof the servants of the company to telegraph the engine driver , by means of a red signal light . To this precaution , howeverno attention to

      , appears have been paid by Young , the driver , inasmuch as the train rushed forward with full speed and ran into the luggage waggons with fearful violence . The consequences were fearful . The engine Young was driving ( a new locomotive of great value ) , which had only been sent for the purpose of the line two days , was doubled up , and the funnel , fire-box , and woodwork literally torn to pieces , while the pistons and minor machinery connected with the driving wheels were wrenched irom their rivets , and the iron axles of the wheels were bent considerably . One of the secondclass carriages , fortunately an empty one , was hurled fromtheline , and it now lies a wreck near a ditch by the side of the line . Another carriage , in which were seated , Captain Laurence , R . N ., and Mr .

      _nigner , a drover , irom * . Norfolk , was broken up , and unfortunately both of these passengers were injured . The engine-driver and stoker were hurled from the engine , but falling into the water and soft mud of the ditch they escaped unurjured . A truck , filled with sheep and lambs , was muchsmashed , and partially set on fire , and not les 3 than twenty of the animals were killed , and others of them so injured that it was found necessary soon afterwards to slaughter them . The confusion and alarm which prevailed is described as being fearful , and the violence ofthe shock was so much felt throughout the whole train that all the passengers were more or less shaken , The rails were torn out of their places by the violence of the shock , and the line was literally strewed with the

      mangled remains of the sheep , and the corn , dec . the contents ofthe broken luggage waggons . Some little degree of order being restored , the attendants , with lights , examined the wreck ; fortunately no one was found killed by the collision , but the above named persons were so much injured that they were unable to proceed to town , so they were conveyed to Mr . Wildbore's , ofthe New Inn , who most hospitably and humanely attended to them whilst medical assistance , by special train , was procured from London . Dr . _Jaeffeson , having seen the patients , declared the aim of one te be dislocated , and the other to bo severely injured by the violence of the shock ; he , however , in neither case apprehended any seriously alarming consequences . As soon as the confusion had subsided a despatch was instantly forwarded to Broxbourne ( the dep 5 t of the pilot engine ) for assistance , and as it is the practice to keep the

      locomotives ready there at all hours for immediate service , but little time was lost ; the damaged wheel , was repaired , and the mail set forward on its journey to the Shoreditch terminus , all the passengers , except the two previously named , being able to travel the remaining distance ( 14 J miles . ) As soon as daylight dawned , a stiong jbody of men set to work by Mr . Kennaird and other directors' orders , proceeded to clear and repair the rails ; but no carriages were allowed to pass along the up-line during the whole of Sunday , the whole of the trains " up" running on the down-line from Broxbourne . Upon inquiry this afternoon ( Monday ) , the reporter was informed at the New Inn that both the injured parties , though seriously hurt , are in a fair way of recovery . The engine driver states , by way of justification , that he did not see the signal light ; the guard , however , gays he saw it two miles from the station .

      Destructive Fire at Lewisham . _—On Monday afternoon , between three and four o ' clock , a destructive fire broke out in tho farm-yard _belonging to Mr . John Duncan , licensed victualler and farmer , situate on Russia-green , Lewisham . It originated in th * centre ofa large stack of rowing , whence it extended to a couple of rieks of hay . a The alarm having been promptly given , not many minutes elapsed before the parish engines from Lewisham and _Greenwich arrived- These were quickly set to work , but owing to the very inflammable nature of tho Btoek , th * fire travelled with great rapidity , and two staeka of clover standing on the ground , also became ignited . The fire still progressing , a messenger was , despatched to London , requesting the aid of the brigade engines ,

      and Mr . Henderson , thetoreman ot the district , despatched the _Southwark-bridge-road eigine to the spot ; and as soon as Mr . Connorton became awar * of the outbreak , he also started to the scene with the West Of England engine and firemen . Tho neighbours and police _exerted themselves most manfully , and by throwing buckets of water upon , and by covering a rick standing under a long range of buildings , the same wert preserved from destruction .

      Fine ik Liverpool . —About a quarter after eleven o clock on Saturday forenoon an alarm was given that a fire had broken out in the cellar of a warehouse belonging to Messrs . Grreen and Taylor , situated about half-way down Gibraltar-row , on the left-hand side . The street called by this name leads from that part of Great Howard-street , lying contiguous to the New Northern Hospital to the Prince's Dock . A pile of new , substancially-built , and _fireproof warehouses occupies the whole length ofthe left-hand side of the . street : and it is said that en Saturday the merchandise in those warehouses amounted to about £ 1 , 000 , 000 in value . The opposite side of the row is filled with a number of small houses and narrow courts , inhabited by the lower classes . The warehouse in the cellar of which the fire was discovered , is called " Murray ' s" ( 313 ) , and some idea of the extent of danger to the surrounding property which this fire was likely to cause may be gathered from the

      fact , that the cellar contained about thirty casks of turpentine , 275 casks of tallow , and 200 casks of olive oil . Labourers were employed during the morning in removing some ofthe barrels of turpentine from the cellar , and it is supposed that the fire was caused through some carelessness on their parts in carrying lanterns about the place , and fixing them in certain positions to afford light . A dense mass of smoke from the cellar entrance was the first intimation the inhabitants had ofthe breaking out of tho fir _« . Analarra was instantly conveyed to the station , and in a very short space of time Mr . Hewitt was on tho spot with three engines and two water-carts . He was speedily followed by Mr . Dowling , Lieutenant Maxwell , R . N ., inspector of salvage , and a large detachment of the fire-brigade . In . this case , singular to say , tliere was a sufficient quantity of water procurable from the mains , so that the engines were got into play almost immediately after their arrival . The fire waa extinguished in about an hour and a

      half . _Dbath mom Fallikg _ibto a Pan of . Boiliko Lio . u 6 b . —Between the hours of three and fouro clock on Friday afternoon week , the death of a man named Patrick Whealan , was produced in this _dregful manner atthe chemical manufactory of Mr . Hudson Lutwyche , Vauxhall-road , Liverpool . The deceased , who was between fifty and sixty years of age , was engaged at the time in cleaning out one ot the pans used in tie manufactory , and at a distance ol trom three to four feet of where he was standing there was another pan containing a quantity of potash liquor in a boiling state . The workmen who were employed about a dozen yards off heard a sudden plunge , and , on running to where the deceased had been worKing a minute before , they discovered hira m the pan , containing the boiling liquor . One of them a labourer , named Michael Wafer , jumped to the top

      of the boiler , seized hold or we « ec _* c _^« , _r _"™ - " ceeded , with the help of the others , in dragging him out as quickly as possible . He was immediately conveyed to the Northern Hospital , where it was found that he had been scalded all over his body . He died in six hours after . An inquest was he d upon the body on Saturday , and a verdict of " Accidental death" returned . It was stated by the witnesses from the chemical works that there was no cover to the pan of boiling liquor , and that , if there was a cover i 0 it _> the process of workin g the contents could not be properly accomplished . The probable way ut which the deceased happened to fall in was thus explained :-He was using a ladle to get the dirt oat ot the other pan ; and , after the accident occurre _* ., tne handle of the ladle was found broken , and it is supposed that the snapping ofit caused him to lall back and tumble into the pan of _boiling liquor . His agonies were most excruciating during the oriel period that he survived the scalding .

      Awfcl Coach Accident . —One of the most dreadful coach accidents which we ever remember to . have happened , occurred on Saturday last , bythe upsetting ofthe Bird-in-hand coach , belonging to Mr .. Henry Whalley , of Blackburn , and running between , that town and Preston ; ' The accident took place on the Preston New-road , near to the toll-bar at the bottom of Brockhol' e ' s Brow , and several persons , we regret to state , _Iwere seriously injured , and most ofthe passengers more or less hurt , those in the inside escaping with the , least injury . It appears that the coach , which was driven by a man named James Hull , left this town at half-past fiye on Saturday evening _,, having thirteen passengers outside , including three females , and five inside . The driver , it was

      considered by some of the passengers , was "fresh" at starting , hnd on reaching the public-house opposite the House of Correction he pulled up , and went inside the house for some minutes . ' At starting again , it is said , he drove fast and carelessly , and on coining to Brockhole _' s Brew , the horses became unmanageable , and the break , it is supposed , not being used , started off at full gallop down the hill . The coach rocked to and fro in a frightful manner , and the females shrieked loudly for help . The coachman , seeing the coach must turn over , let go the reins , and threw himself off , and the coach proceeded at this desperate speed for about thirty yards further , when it fell over with a tremendous crash , " scattering the unfortunate passengers in all directions ; and

      throwing some of them to a considerable distance . The horses instantly freed themselves from the traces and dashed over the bridge , and were notstopped till they arrived at the Five-barred-gate in Samlesbury . The coach having turned over about a d & zen yards from the toll-bar , adjoining the wooden bridge across the Ribble , and there being persons passing at the time , assistance was quickly rendered , when the passengers were mostly found lying about the road , stunned with the effect ef the fall , and as if dead . One man , named John . Hacking , a cow-jobber , living in the _Branch-road , Blackburn , and who was an outside passenger , was picked up with his leg dreadfully fractured , and his body otherwise seriously cut and bruised . Another outside passenger , named Samuel

      Latus _, hying m Sallord , Blackburn , was found with his leg broken in three places , and other parts of his person much cut and bruised . A third named Elskin , who is now lying at the Bird-in-hand publichouse , Blackburn , and who resides at Bolton , was so terribly hurt in the back and elsewhere , that doubts were entertained of his recovery . The coachman , who had thrown himself from his seat , was seriouslv injured about the head ; and is now lying at the Oldhall , on the Preston-road , in a very bad state . Mr . Thomas Ainsworth , bookseller , of Blackburn , was pitched upon his head , and much hurt . The Invincible coach passing shortly after the accident , room was made in it for two of the sufferers , and they were conveyed to Blackburn . Two ofthe females were taken

      back to .-Preston , viz . Ann Seed , sister of Henry Seed , thcipoliceman , who was dreadfully crushed and bruised , and Mary Robinson , who waa also much injured ! A man named Robert Wilding , residing in Marsh-laiie , likewise sustained some injury on his arm . _Thje accident occurring when it was quite dark added to the confusion and suffering which prevailed ; and though a vehicle was sent from . Blackburn , by the proprietor of the coach which had been upset , the partieB . who had charge of it lingered on the road , and were found drinking at the Yew Tree public-house , a mile and a-half out of Blackburn , bythe passengers who were enabled to walk so far , a distance of about five miles , on their road to Blackburn . The upset coach was nearly knocked to pieces , but the horses escaped with very little injury . —Preston Chronicle .

      Murder-. in _Lohgvord . —The Longford Journal gives the following particulars ofa brutal murder committed in that county on Saturday week : —On Saturday last three brothers , young men , named William , John , and Henry Borgin , were attending the market of this town , and left about five o ' clock for the purpose of returning home to their residence at Lyneen , between Killashee and Kenagh , about five miles distant ; on their reaching the townland of _Gewlan , about three miles from this , and one-anda-half from KiJIashee _, they were attacked by a party of fourteen or fifteen villains , who had been lying in wait for them armed with bludgeons and loy handles , and without any provocation , struck and beat them in a most brutal _mnnner . William Bergin was the first struck , with a loy handle on the head , which severely fractured his skull in two places ; both Henry and John were also dreadfully beaten , and on finishing the . boating , they took the latter and

      threw him into _. a deep bog dram on the road side . Having satisfied themselves with beating William Bergin , 'hefore they ran off , his friends , and some of those who came up , assisted him upon a car , which was procured for the purpose , but oh reaching within half a mile of home it was discovered that he was _ignite dead . The other two brothers were brought " into the county imfirmary , were they now lie in , " a . dangerous state An . inquest was held on the body on Sunday evening , when Surgeon Hyde deposed that on a post mortem examination of the body , he found three large wounds in the head , ah extensive fracture of the skull , the upper part broken into several pieces , some oi which were driven into the substance of the brain .

      MURDER AND MUTINY ON THE HIGH ,. ; _u . ; . ... ¦ .. - . -. ; _=,- ... _; ¦ .- . . SEAS .,. ¦ HORRIBLE DISCLOSURES _, _i Franklin Tucker , Julian Cardoviallo ( an Italian ; , William Burton , David Johnson , William _Beresford , William Dunn , Thomas Qair , John Allison , Thomas Lee , Andrew Nelson , Barry Telverton ( said to be grandson to the celebrated Lord Avonmore ) , Stephen Cone , Richard Rreneh , Peter Curtis , James Blaedon ( a German ) , and Robert Thompson , sixteen ofthe crew of the Tory , belonging _, to Mr . Duncan Gibb , of Liverpool , were brought to the _ThamesFolice-office , and placed , some in the dock , and others in front of it , charged with murder and piracy on board the above-named ship , on th _^ high se » s , within the jurisdiction of the Admiralty of England . Mr . Clarkson with Mr . Hawley , clerk to Messrs . Crowder and Maynard , conducted the prosecution .

      The prisoner Gair , the right side of whose face ap . peared to be dreadfully injured , and who had his head bound up , was accomodated with a chair ; and several others of the prisoners , who looked miserable , were moro or less wounded in various parts of their bodies . . Mr . Clarksonsaid , that besidesthe heavy charge of conspiring to seize the ship and kill the captain , he feared it would be his painful duty to charge some of the prisoners with the murder of a man named Mars , but ho would for the present confine himself to the charge of piracy ,. George Johnstone , the master of the Tory , who gave bis evidence iu a very confused manner , whieh Mr . Clark _, son attributed to the state of excitement in which he had been kept by the mutineers during the voyage , stated that during the months of . Ootober and September the Tory , a

      free-trader of C 08 . tons burden , was on her . way from Hong-kong to England . There was no difficulty until the vessel was off Ascension Island , when the crew entered into a conspiracy , in which they were joined by William Rambert and William Mar 3 , the first and second mates . The plot was discovered , and Rambert , apprehending the consequences , jumped overboard on tbe 21 th of September , which circumstance was recorded by one of the apprentices in the log . Subsequently , the lad Yelverton told witness that the men intended to take his life , . and that they had sharpened their knives for that purpose . He was also . told by the prisoner French that tho men intended to take his life , and that the first mate and Mars had dragged thc men out of their berths in thc farecastle to come and kill him . Before the mate jumped overboard French and the carpenter found all the men

      aft , armed with bars and bolts , in a mutinous state , and rushing towards the cat in . All the men were there , except Lee , Reason ( who is since dead ) , and Cone . These three were in irons . They rushed forward with bolts and bars , aud witness , with two men , namely , Johnson and Thompson , who were armed with guns and bayonets , were in the companion . He asked the men what they came to kill him for , aud challenged them to say he ever treated them unkindly . When the first mate jumped _overboard he sung out three times , and witness put the helm down to save him ,. but the crew said it was of no use .. Ths vessel and cargo were worth £ 80 , 000 . The men afterwards went to their duty for twenty-five days , until they made the island of Eayal , when they again exhibited a mutinous disposition . He went ashore , whore he saw the British consul : and on his return

      French told him that Mars , who is since dead , and who had been acting as chief officer , had had a private conference with the crew , and that they , refused to obey him ( F . rench ) , who was boatswain at the time . Witness lectured the men , and sent for Mars to his cabin , who as soon as he entered seized him by the throat , and tore a piece out of his hand , the mark of which still remained . Witness seized a cutlass which was at hand , and struck him with the hilt of it , subsequently ordering him into irons . French then , in the presence ot Mars ,, accused that person of fomenting a mutiny , which Mars admitted . After that , as well as could be collected from tho . very confused statement of the captain , tho crew appeared . to have been quiet until reaching the Channel , when they again broke out into mutiny . At ten minutes past twelve o'clock , whilst French had the watch , a boy named

      Slack gave witness the alarm . lie ran on . deck , and oalled to tlie carpenter for his cutlass , when he saw French and Dunn , the cook ,. securing Coue and Gair , and the witness was not present at his death . He had no doubt he was strangled . It was said he was . stranglcd by Cordoviallo , Burton , and Yelverton ,. after , he was put in irons . Witness heard some of the men say they murdered him . Gair was wounded in the face when they were off Plymouth , after a pilot had been , taken on board . The crew then made another attempt to . possess themselves of the ship , and rushed down to the cabin . French sung out , "Mutiny ; " the . light was put out , and witness received a wound , he believed from a bayonet , in the naif of the leg , and another , as if from a knife , above the jugular . One of the boys , or Fcench ,. Seed a pistol , which was ouly charged with powder , in the melee and

      that inflicted the injury on Gair , Mr . Broderip . —From all you say of French he seems to have assisted you . Why then is he charged ? Witness . —I don't understand . I thought so . He told the people in the cutter when we oame to Deal that he fired thc pistol . Besides , he pilfered some articles on board and told tha people it was the captain did it . Mr . Broderip- —Why , you say he was the first to call out mutiny t Witness . —I think he and the cook were at the foundation of it all . The men from the revenue cutter were placed in guard over the crew , and _othar hands were procured tomanage the vessel . Mr . Clarkson said his object was merely to give an outline ofthe case , as he was not as yet in a position to arrange the evidence properly . Mr . Broderip _^ _asked whether the captain , after the statement he had made , intended to charge att the men with piracy ?

      The captain , in a confused manner , said he would exempt Cordoviallo , who , he believed , had ' been forced to join , under threats of deatli . Neither was there much evidence as to Burton . Cordaviallo was then removed from the dock as regarded the charge ef mutiny , but as the captain's statement implicated him in the death . of Mars , Inspector Evans was directed to look to him _. The prisoners Burton , Dunn , Lee , Gair , Yelverton , and Cone , made very long statements of a most appalling nature , describing sceues of bloodshed and cruelty almost unparalleled . Tucker merely denied the charge , and appealed to that Power which knows the secrets of all hearts , to vouch his innocence . Dunn said that the statements in the log were almost all false , and every row that took place commenced with the captain , who was in a constant state of intoxication , as two female passengers could prove .

      Lee said they had been On short allowance of water , until they fell in with the French shib . After that the oaptain _ordered all the larboard watch aft , after having been drinking with the mate aU day . They came from their berths wlthont waiting to put on their clothos , and found tHe captain with a sword , and the two mates , ' Rambert and Mars , with bayonets . The captain said , " You rascals , you have sharpened your knives to take my life , " and he began to cut with the sword at him { Lee ) , Cone , and a man named Reason , who was afterwardB killed . He ordered the carpenter to put the three of them in irons ,

      and whilst they were fettered , he came every two or three hours and cut away at them . This was on the 23 rd of September . On the 25 th , whilst yet in irons , the captain got the shackles of the best bower anchors , and put them round their necks . He then sent him ( Lee ) and Reason , ¦ till in irons , to the main . top and Cone to the mizen , where they were lashed down . About four o ' clock on the morning of the 26 th the captain was cutting away at the chief mate , who ran aft and jumped over the larboard quarter . They shook the ship a little out in the wind and then kept her in her _eourse ;

      0 airs Statement was a most extraordinary one . He s & id the captain sent for him whenhe was in iron ? in the lower forecastle and orderad him on his knees , Baying he would have bis life . The captain then cut at him about the head and body inflicting various wounds with the cutlass , and then ordered French to load the pistol and fire on him , threatening if itwas not done as quickly as possible he would take French ' s life . To save his own life , French fired in his ( Gair's ) face several times with the pistol . After cutting at hiin . gome time he was al . lowed to go up , on the carpenter calling out to pump the ship . He ( Gair ) was then calloi down again and subjected to the same treatment , after which he was again put in irons almost in a state of / insensibility .

      Yelrcrton , whose statement nt various passages thrilled the whole court with horror by the terrible details , went at length through the whole matter . We will give the substance of what he said and the fearfully revolting circumatances which he stated , 'in the first person : — "I deny that I ever told the captain that the men sharpened their knives . I'll tell the truth , but I can't speak as to dates . I told him Reason said to Cone , that when the ship reached Ascension Island lie would put out a blue shirt on the _fore-yard , so as that some of her Majesty's men would come on board and see how they were treated . The captain abused the mate ( Rambert ) on his return from the French vessel for injuring the boat . The mate said , "By G— , if I had not a wife and family , I'd jump overboard . " After tbat tbe captain ' and the mate were

      drinkingin the cabin all the afternoon , and th ' e _' captain said several times to the mate , " By G— I'll kill you . " The captain , about eight o ' clock at night , asked me ( if I was afraid of the mate , and I said no ; some of the other apprentices said they did fear for their Uvea , but I told the eaptain to give the mate another trial . The captain then pardoned him , and giving him a loaded pistol , 'told him to follow him upon deck .- Tho _captain then aa * Kod the crew if they knew of an intention to take his life , which they deniedi Reason ( who has since died ) , Cone , and Lee were then in irons ' . The captain threatened if they did not tell what they knew to take their lives . I think Curtis and Burton said that Mars hauled them out of their berths to secure the captain . On that the captain had Mars put in irons , and went down every half hour , and cut an inch off of him . ( Frightful sensation , )

      Mr . Brodenp ( with great emotion ) . —Do you mean what you say ? Do you mind what you say ! You are on your oath . Yelverton . —Yes , he said that was what he would do to him . Mr . Borderip . —But you say he did it . That he cut an inch off of him every half hour . Yelverton . —I can't be exact as to an inch , but he said that ho would cut him so . Mr . Broderip . —But you did not see bim \ Yelverton . —Tes , I saw one piece cut off about the size of my hand . It was cut off of the man ' s head , and all the hair was on it , This reply , which was made with great apparent sincerity and simplicity , made the whole court shudder .

      Murder And Mutiny On The High ,.; U.;. ....

      Yelverton . —the captain then took Maw to the inner cairn , which was his bed-room , _takiny ; with him a strand and a heaver . I don't know what was done there , but we heard Mars sing out as if he was -choking . He brought him back again in the presence of Julian and the other boys , and set him against the cabin door , whilst he MMselfsaton the lockerhead , and whilst there kept _pitching the cutlass at him , sometimes sticking it In his head , and sometimes in his breast . ( Sensation . ) , The neat morning the captain said to me and Sp * nce , "You boys must spend all your time writing , ftr this la a _seriou _* job . " The captain said to " French and myself , "Now , boys , we'll convict all these follows as prisoners , and if

      you mind your eyes you'll get all clear of of . this . The _^ e fellows , when , they are made prisoners , will not be allowed to speak for themselves any more than to say ' guilty / or ' not guilty ; ' Be you my _witnesies and we'll get clear of thi 9 . " We said we would , and he was contriving hoir to gat them all implicated . He then told the cook to sen * _, the crewaft , and when they came he said , "What do you want here ? Mutiny , mutiny I Fire away Mr . French , " and then they snapped off the pistols . There was no _chaige against me in the log before _theoffiCBM eame on board at Deal out of the cutter . When they questioned me I told the truth , and that is the reason I am here .-.

      This statement , which excited tlio liveliest and at the same time the most painful interest , rivetted the attention of the whole Court so deeply that but for some shuddering exclamations , one might almost hear a feather faU . Cone said the Captain accused him of intending to take his life , and gave bim a blow ofa cutlass on the head , of which he still bore the marks , II e was then put in irons , and the captain took several spells of the cutlass at him . this was on the night of tbe 24 th of September . He ( Cone ) , was all day , all night , and all the nest day in irons on the main hatches . He was then hoisted up to the mizentopi and two others to the maintop , when the _shachiet were put round their necks . In the night the chief officer Rambert came up to the mizentop all ovor blood , and showed where his head had been cut open in several places . He went down again , and in an hour after the

      captain came to the mizentop and commenced beating andstabbing at him ( Cone ) with his cutlass . The marks of the wounds were still visible on his head , body , and hands . The captain told Uim to make his peace with his Maker as quickly as he could , for "he'd take his life before twelve hours elapsed . " After that he beat him again with , the cutlass and then went down . The pain and loss of blood _sendered him ( Cone ) for some time insensible , for he did not know how long ; When he recovered , about foar o ' clock in the morning , he . saw the captain with ; the sabre pursuing the chief mate , who jumped over'the larboard quarter into the sea . The ship luffed to a . little , but no sail was taken off her . He ( Cone ) was subsequently unfettered ; his wounds were _dreased , and , for about thirty-one days , there was quietness on board . The other prisoners reserved their defence .

      Mr . Broderip , addressing Mr . Clarkson , said he thought the learned gentleman would agree iu thinking with him that tho present was a most extraordinary case . . After the long investigation which it had undergone it was still ; involred in the deepest mystery , and a question was ' raised , whether the conduct of the captain was the _conisequenoe of excitement caused by the mutiny , or whether . by habitual intoxication he had himself brought the crew into the state in which they had been ? - It . had been , gworn ( which would make prima facie in favour of the ; . first assumption ) that the excitement of the captain did not exhibit itself uutil after the vessel had passed Ascension Island ; but it was also evident that there was . something in the defence which deserved consideration . The case certainly called for a remand . ; Jout Inspector Evans should take care that the captain was forthcoming . Mr . Clarkson could not deny that _tha-. circumstances elicited during the inquiry well warranted his worship ' sremarks .

      Mr . Broderip directed that the wounded . man Gair should be particularly recommended to the attention of the surgeon . He also directed that tbe . men who had complained of being wounded should be examined , and that it should likewise be seen whether the captain ha * marks of the wounds which he had . stated himself tohave received in the calf of the leg . and over the jugular . The prisoners were about to , be remanded , when a . woman , who sat behind the solicitor ' s table watching _, the proceedings with intense interest , and half _sobbing as some of the bloodiest scenes were recounted , rose and stated that she had been a passenger en board the Tory , and was ready to confirm the statement of Yelverton . Mr , Broderip , however , declined to . hear her evidence at that stage of the proceedings *

He would not suppress any evidence , and he would say , oa the part of the owner , that their only object waa t » , elicit the truth , aud to court the fullest investigation . The prisoners were then , remanded _untfl _Wednesday next .

      The Suspicious Case Of Poisoning At Brom...

      THE SUSPICIOUS CASE OF _POISONING AT BROMLEY . The case of the young woman , Harriet . Moopkton , who was poisoned by prusaic acid about tiro years back , at Bromley , continues to excite a great deal of interest in the neighbourhood , and _swna . circumatannces have recently transpired which render it very desirable that tbe matter should be brought to some termination , and that the guilty , party—for that the deceased met her death by , foul play there seems to be no doubt entertained either by the jury or the medical men who were examii \ ed-r 6 hould be discovered , or that those against whom suspicion * have heen _entertained should be exonerated from _, all share in the foul transaction . . As so long a period has elapsed since the commencement , of ths inquiry , it may not be amiss to stato briefly under what ccrcsmstances the deceased was discovered .

      and the facts upon which the above opinion is _grounded . It appeared that Harriet Monckton , who is described as being a fine handsome young woman , was the daughter of poor parents , _residing in the neighbourhood of Bromley , out thev had contrived to give her rather a better education tnan ordinary , and she had obtained a _situation _$ _i a teacher * _# 9 . school in London ; which , _shortly before , the period at which , she came by heruntimely end , she had giy . eij _. up , and was about to take another of a similar character at Arundel , in Sussex ; but before proceeding to her new situation she came to Bromley to pass a fen * days with her mother . On the Monday , wh _^ n she was last seen alive , she left home _apparently in . good health and spirits _* saying that she should return shortly , and was never more seen . sure . Search was

      made lor her that evening and all tho next day , but without avail , until the evening of Tuesday , when it was suggested by one of the _party , who was in search of the deceased , that they should examine ** . closet situated at tlte rear of a dissenting chapel in Widmore-lane , Bromley , and upon going there the deceased was found dead upon the near of the closet in a sitting _position ! and from the perfectly placid and composed appearance of her features , it waa supposed that she had died a natural death , particularly as there was no trace of any deadly _instrumemt or ingredient visible by which her death could have been occasioned . The coroner for this division of Kent held his inquest in d « e course , and at the suggestion of thejury a post mortem examination of the deceased was made before Mr . Hott . a _sunreon

      residing at Bromley , and another medical gentleman . It was then discovered beyond the possibility of doubt that the deceaeed had come by her death by means of prussic acid , a quantity being found in her stomach sufficient , in the opinion of the medical gentlemen , to have killed a dozen people . It also appeared that the unfortunate girl was very far advanced in the family way , and a nearly full-grown child had shared the fate of its unhappy mother . Upon the re-assembling of the jury , these additional facts were given in evidence , and very strong testimony was adduced to show that it was almost impossible that the deceased could have destroyed herself . In the first place , it appeared bythe medical testimony that the effect of the poison must have been to destroy life almost immediately , so that she must

      have taken it inthe place where the .. deceased was found , butnoph _. 3 lor cup was observed that could have contained the poiBon either there or any where near the place . In the next place , if the deceased had herself taken the poison , she would no doubt have immediately fallen to the ground , and her dress would in all probability have been in confuBion ; but , onthe _contrary , as above stated , she was found in an easy sitting position , her clothes apparently smoothed down , with her left hand resting easily upon _, her thigh , and with a white handkerchief under it . The impression produced by the evidence upon the jury , and upon almost all who heard it , was that the poison had not beentaHen by the . deceased in the closet , but that it had been administered to her elsewhere , and that after she was dead she had been carried and placed in the position she was found . Some adjournments were made by the coroner and jury , but although upon each occasion nothing transpired in any way to alter their opinion that the de »

      ceased met her death by foul play , no direct evidence was adduced tending to fix the guilt upon any individual , and since the last adjournment , which is now upwards of eighteen months ago , the coroner has declined to call thejury together , although repeated applications have been made to him to do ao . The . jury was originally composed of fifteen individuals , but of this number one is dead , another has gone abroad , and a third has left this part ofthe country ; still i however , leaving twelve , a number that would be competent to * come to a decision upon the subject . 'A short time back these twelve gentlemen sent a communication to the coroner , requesting to know wheiihe intended to ' call . them together , and they received a reply stating that he should do so very shortly . but since then nothing more has bean heard upon the subject . Thejury , however , feel so strongly the necessity for further inquiry into this mysterious affair , that it is understood to be their intention to apply to the Secretary of State on the subject .
