The steamship Circassian, Captain Campbell, from Galway the 17th instant, arrived at St. Johns at 2 P.

The departure of the Great Eastern for America has been postponed until October 20, and it was furthermore officially announced that she would leave on the 28th of October.

Austria was to increase her military force in Italy, and it was asserted that France has still nearly a hundred thousand men there.

Advices from Tungier state that serious disturbances had taken place in a part of the territory of Morocco, and that Sedim Mahomed was on the march from Morocco to Fez.

Jensky Crry, Sept. 29, 1859, In your paper of this morning you give an extract from the Albany Journal, stating that J. Q. Wilson, Bsq., and Mrs. Mary Van Vecht were the only survivors of those that accompanied Fulton in his steamer up the North river on his first trip. There is now 1 0 south of France, a Mr. Philip Miliandon, Brother "or the late Millandon, of New Orleans, who was one of that party. Mr. M. is personally known to the writer, to whom he has jrequently related an account of that wip. RS, | Dank, In the year 1833 he was appointed Mngincer of the Obituary. DEATH OF MR, BHUNEL, THE DESIGNER OF THE GREAT BASTERN. ‘We learn by the Circassian, at St. Johns, that IdampaRD Kunapom Bauwm, the eminent English engineer, is dead. He was born at Portsmouth in the year 1806, whore his father, the illustrious French enginoer, who died in 1849, was engaged in constructing the manufactories of dock pulleys. While very young he was sent to France, where he was a student in the College of Caen, and on his re- turn, from 1826, he was employed in the open- ing of the Thames tunnel. The irruptions of the water caused him to rum more than one risk, especially in 1828, when over six hundred fect of water broke through the opening, and he was carried away by — the force of the current and cast safe and sound upon the Great Western Railway, and directed all the appliances of perfoct art to that line and its branches, among which the bridges of Maidenbead, Chepstow and Thamar may be cd, To him also is duc the suspension bridge from Hungerford, in London, one of the longest in England, as well.as@ part of the constructions of the Sardo-Tuscan rail- way, and he took # part in that most difficult work, the establishment of the Conway and Britannia tubular bridges, for which recourse had to be bad to the re- unions of the most eminent engineers of the day. Mr. Brunel also equally applied himeelf to the conatruc- tion of veeseis and steam machines, It was he who laanched the Great Western, the firet colossal steamer that has traversed the Atlantic; and it was he, also, who constructed the Leviathan—the Great Eastern—the mon- ster of the geas, which has just been launched upon the great ocean, after 80 much labor, expense and trouble. During the last war with Russia he was charged with the duty of erecting the Hospital of Reakioi, situated on the Straits of the Dardanelles, and which was to contain three thousand sick persons, He was a member of the Royal Society of London since 1830, and was also con- nected with the Institnte of Civil Engineers, with the So- ciety of Arts, the Astronomical Societies and the Geologi- cal and Geographical Societies. He received the cross of the Legion of Honor at the hands of King Louis Philippe. ‘He was too ill to be present at the success of his last great work, the Great Eastern, on her recent trip from the Thames to Portland. He lived, however, to hear of her great triumph, Safety of La Montain, the Balloonist. Private intelligence from Kingston, ©. W., announces the safe arrival at that place of Prof. La Montain, the in- trepid wronaut, and Mr. Haddock, of. the Watertown (N. YY.) Journal, who made a balloon ascension from Water- town, New York, on the 224 inst., and about whose safety serious apprehensions had been entertained. Mr. La Montain will therefore be on hand for his grand experi- mental trip from Jones’ Wood on the 4th of October, in the great balloon Atlantic, accompanied by a reporter for the Hxgap, and other gentlemen, who will purchase the choice of seats by auction, of Mr. Albert H. Nicolay, at the Merchants’ Exchange, to-morrow morning. Captain Rynders to the Public. 10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. regret that a sense of justice to myself compels me to notice the many slanders which have been circulated against me since the meeting of the late Democratic State Convention. It was my intention not to notice them inany manner, but a continued reiteration of misrepresentations and falsehoods has induced me to publish the following statement made by those who witnessed all that occurred on the occasion referred to, ISAIAH RYNDERS. 10 THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD. ‘The undersigned, delegates and citizens of the city of ‘New York, who were present at the late Democratic State Convention in 8yracuse, deem it an imperative HC Bn tho public, and especially thst mtemgent portion of it depend upon the daily records of the press for their knowledge of ing events, to make this concurrent statement of what transpired at Weiting Hall on the oc- casion referred to. ‘The New York Daily News, in its issues since the ad- Journment of the Convention, has charged Isaiah Rynders, the United States Marshal of this district, with the pre- meditated design and effort to break up the Convention by the importation and admission of a_gang of hired bul- lies to Syracuse. It is duc to Captain Ryndors to say that inno manner, cither by word or action, did he contribute to the disturbance which took pjace, and that the only part taken by Captain Rynders in the meeting presided over by Mr. Alvord, was his rising to second. motion made by Jobn Cochrane for the call for the ayes and noes. ‘At this juncture of the proceedings the rictous persons who had obtained admission to the floor of the imme- diately surrounded Captain Rynders, and threatened him with personal violence. Afew moments subsequent to ‘this, in the tumult that occurred Mr. Stryker was pushed from the platform, and the regular delegates, inclvding Captain Rynders, quietly withdrew from any further par- ticipation in tha pencenattia JOHN KELLY, PETER MASTERSON, JOHN BROWN, ABRAM HYATT, THOMAS DUNLAP, JOHN RICHARDSON, THOMAS BYRNES, ‘W.

Banker and E. A, Crooker acting as secretaries. After the President—Mr. Irving—had called the meet- ing to order, it was moved and seconded by Mr. John S. Austin that a committee of five or seven should be appoint- ed to elect a Grand Marshal, two Vice Presidents, and a ‘Treasurer. The following committee was appointed bj the President, viz:—Messrs. Beirale, Hynes, Isaacs, O’Neil, O’Donnell and Redolph; and the following named gentle: men were elected:—Grand Marshal, John 8. Austin; Vice Presidents, Andrew Sheenan and James White; Treasurer, Dr. C. Ramsey. ‘A resolution, congratulatory to Isaiah Rynders, the ex-President, in his efficient conduction of the affairs of the club, was then proposed and seconded, but voted down, and after a call for a division laid on the table. Finally it was moved and seconded that after adjourn- ing the club meet every fortnight, on Wednesday evening, until further notice. ee sixty persons were enrolled as members of the club. It was then moved by Mr. John 8. Austin, and second- ed, that a committee of three should be appointed to wait on Mr. Rynders, torequest him to deliver up the para- phernalia of the Empire Club, Mr. Austin proposing at the same time that the committee call on Mr. Rynders at least by two o'clock. ‘The committee appointed consisted of Messrs Austin, Beirale and Isaacs. ‘The finale was a motion that the call of the next meet- ing be'published in one or more of the Sunday papers. ‘This was seconded and carried. The meeting then ad- journed. Sult Against the Hudson Vigilance Com- mittee—Disagreement of the Jury. SUPREME COURT—CIRCUIT. Bofore Hon, Judge Potter, of Saratoga county. Sert. 26.—In the case of Mowers vs. Bogardus and others. — The jury, who had been in dekberation all night, were called into court, and in answer to the Judge, said that there was no probability of an agreement—that they had done all they could to agree, but without offect. The Judge directed them to retire again, witha hope that they might agree. After an absence of nearly two hours more they again came into Court, and stated that they had not agreed. The Court then discharged them, regretting that they could not come to an unananimous conclusion, but at the ame time believed that they acted in accordance with their conscientious convictions. The jury, having been twenty-four hours in deliberation, were then discharged. ‘Various rumors were afloat as to the way in which tho jury stood, and for none of which can the reporter vouch. Some said there were three for an unequivocal acquittal of ail the defendants; others that there were eight for a verdict against certain of the defendants for damages for plaintif!—one being for $15,000, and seven for $10,000. Excise Commissioners. A meeting of the Excise Commissioners took Plgco yes- terday, at which all the members of the Board were pre- sent. Two storekeepers and two innkeepers applied for license, and their applications were granted on the payment of the usual fee fixed by the Board. Mr. Haske read a letter, which he received from a policeman, informing him that large quantities of liquor ure sold by druggists, one of whom informed the writer of the letter that he hadsold as much as seven bottles of brandy and two of gin in one day. The writer asked if it would not be right to subject this class of dealers to the payment of a license fee. Mr. Hasxerr moved that the letter be placed on file,and 4“ copy sent to the Police Commissioners, and Mr. Kerr se- be a motion. Ir. Hotmes considered that druggists are principal! patronized by geatlemen who veut whe mtptions mak others of that class, and that it would be as fair to subject them to the range of the Excise law as others, He, how- ever, offered no amendment to the motion of Mr. Haskett, which was now carried, cs As a fall Board was present it was believed that some- thing would be done with the resolution offered a few days ago by Mr. Kerr, asking information from the Counsel of the Board as to thé number of suits commenced, their pro- gress, &c., but it was not called up, They adjourned tll this afternoon at three o’Glogk, Trial Trip of United States Steamers Wyandot and Mohawk-Failure of their Guns, ‘The United States steam propellers Wyandot and Mo- bawk (formerly the Westernport and Caledonia, of the Cromwell line) having been thoroughly overhauled and repaired at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, yesterday made trial trips down the bay, These steamers were built originally in Philadelphia, eight or nine years ago, for the celebrated Parker Vein Company, and when that concern collapsed, Were purchased by Mr. Cromwell, of this city, and run on his line of Southern steamers, until chartered by government last year for the Paraguay expedition. ‘Their performance on that service was anything but creditabie, and many predicted that they would never re. turn safely to port. They did return, however, and were subsequently purchased by government with otbers of the chartered steamers. For several months they have been overhauling and repairing at the yard, ‘Their propeller shafta have been taken out and trimmed off, new bearings have been placed under the shatts, : which have algo been encased with brass sleeves, the earings all bored out, and each has been provided with a new collar thrust, new main bearing, anew seto Dbrasses throughout their engines, and boilers, cylinders, ‘&o,, encased with wood, and blankets, to say nothing o strengthening decks, painting and furbishing up general- ly. These repairs, though ali done at the yard, have cost the government two or three thousand dollars each, and are expected to increase the speed of the vessels about a knot and a@ half an hour. The repairs baying been completed, the vessels have been piaced ip commission, and are under orders for a winter’s cruise i search of slaveres along the southern coast of Cuba. The following are @ list of their officers; — Ovrwers or tux Wraxpor.—Fabiue Stanly, Lieut. Com- manding; Abner Read, First Lieutenant; R. C. Duvall, Second Leutenant; J. R. ‘Third Lieutenant M. Stribling, Master; Stewart Kennedy,” Assistant Surgeon; Wr, H Cuak- man, ‘Chief Engineer; M. H. Plunkett, W. K. Purse, J Brooks, Third Assistant ; Joseph G. Carr, Captain’ Clerk; Julian R.

The Wyandot is 10234 fect length of Keel, 28 foct breadth of beam, measures 450 tons and draws, when loaded, Mid feet forward and 14 feet aft. The ‘Mohawk is 163 feet long, 94 feet beam, measures 490 tons and her draft is.a little greater than that of her mate. Both steamers haye direct acting engines, and can make, itis Seproend an ong of seven or eight knots an hour with the consumption of seven and a tons of coal per day. Should occasion require, their speed may Ye increased to ten or twelve knoia, ‘The armament of each vessel consists of four 32-pounders, of i Ted weight each, on the lower deck, and two brass igren xe 12-pounder and a 2-pounder—on the upper jeck. ‘Both vessels are under instructions to proceed @6 once to the southern coast, of Cuba, reporting by on thelr arrival to Comniodore McCluney, at Aspinwall, fg officer of the Gulf squadron, to cruise along the sout coast of Cuba in sedrch of slavers, and should occasion arise to protect any American veasels from search or detention on the high seas in time of peace, by the armed ships of any other Power. Our reporter was courteously entertained on board the ‘Wyandot during the trial trip. ‘The Mohawk left the Navy Yard at eight o’clock, proceeded down the Bay only as far as Quarantine, and returning, anchored off the Battery, before noon, The Wyandot started at 8:40, and made a more extended trip, a8 far as the Southwest Spit, and af- ter passing the Narrows proceeded to exercise her crew at the guns and the apparatus. Only nine shota in all were fired, six with round shot and then with shell. At the first shots from the thirty two pounders three of them were tamporarily disabled by the breaking, from the force of the recoil, of a clumsy eontrivance attached to the screws for raising and lowering the , and connecting it with the cascabel or breach pin of the gun. ‘This contrivance consists of a sort of cap of cast iron jointed to the screw, and upon which the cascabel rests, clamped to it and held by two gmall holta three-cighths of an inch in diameter. The are sitogether too for firing and coming down upon these produced by the recoil, sent the broken bits of bolts and screws whizzing about the ears of the gunners in the most ani- mated style. Had the steamer gone to sea without dis- covering this piece of clumsy -work, she would never have been able, had occasion arisen, to maintain the honor of her flag. | Various plans were suggested for remo- dying the matter, but the best way would be to remove the guns entirely, and provide both steameraj(for the Mohawk’s uns are mounted in the same manner) with a couple of long 32’s,or better still, with a nine-inch gun apiece, which would render them ten times as effective as with the present old fashioned armament. To illustrate the anti- quated old fogyism of the present armament, we may state that the gun can the Wyandot are the iden- tical carriages used on Constitution, celebrated in our naval history as ‘Old Ironsides.”” We suppose, however, that no change will be made in the armament, as, though the guns are really almost worthless, they can be counted, and will enable the Navy Department to report that’a given number of guns are maintained on that service. Mr. Thomas H. Farron, master machinist of the Navy Yard, was on board, and stated that his de- partment had nothing to do with the guns. ‘Throughout the trip the engine worked in the most satisfactory manner, and with very little Jar or vibration. There was no trial of speed, as the bearings are not yet worn smooth; but on the return the vessel ran exactly cight miles in’fifty-five minutes against the tide, the wheels making fifty revolutions per minute, with the throttle valve only half open, All the officers profess to be de- lighted with their ship, which they declare to be better than new, and with the prospect of a pleasant winter cruise on the summer side of Cuba. The crew consists of eighty-four men, all told, including forty seamen, thirteen marines and thirwen firemen and coal heavers. Both steamers are anchcred off the Battery, and expect to sail between this and Saturday next. Board of Supervisors—Special Meeting. APPOINTMENT OF REGISTRARS. ‘The Poard met yesterday, Supervisor Bell in the chair. The Board met to appoint registrars of voters. Super- vigors Voorhies and Little, republicans, were absent. The democrats were all present, Anotice of distontinuance of the suit of Baker & Co. ‘vs. the Board of Supervisors was read. An amended com- plaint having been made a mandamus was issued enjoin- ing the Board of Supervisors to raise by tax the sum of $193,820 26, or sow cause tothe contrary. Referred to Committee on Amual Taxes. Supervisor Butwr moved that the Board proceed to bal- lot for registrars. Supervisor Kgyngpy opposed this motion, as he had some friends to consult. The Board, by vote, proceeded to ballot by districts for Registrars. ‘Tellers were appointed. Mr. TWEED nominated three candidates. Supervisor Exxwgpr said he was informed by demo- cratic members of the Board that they intended to vote for three democrats in the firet district of the First ward. ‘Two republicanse were absent from the Board, and the democrats could, if they deemed fit, elect democratic re- gistrars throughout the city. Supervisor Pusvy would not to any arrangement, and in politics he knew no friends; he was all fidelity and ‘obedience to the democratic party, but would vote for none except democrats as registrars. If there were republicans absent, that was one of the misfortunes of war. Supervisor Biuxt spoke at length on the previous good taithiot members towards each other, and regretted that the democrats were now going to commit an act that would disgrace this body of Supervisors. If they were determined to take thie advantage, the republicans could do nothing in the absence of the two members in ques- tion. They might as well leave, as six formed a quorum. Mr. Kaxnxpy¥ made a speech defending the law. He threatened legislative vengeance on the democratic party if they took the advantage now attempted. ‘The Board then went on balloting, the result being the democratic appointment of registrars. ‘The balloting will take some time, and the names will be officially announced.

The Game Commenced—The First Innings of the Canadian J layers—Impressions made on the Spectators by te Eng- ish Eleven—Anticipations of the Result, dc. ‘The anxiously awaited cricket match between twenty- two selected Canadian players and eleven chosen from the “All England” and the ‘United Eleven of Eugland,”” com- menced on the St. Catharines’ cricket ground on Saturday morning at twelve o'clock. Originally announced for Wednesday, the 2ist inst., the continued wet weather prevented the occurrence of the match till to-day, Not withstanding the great quantity of rain fallen during the week, the ground was found to be in much better condi tion than could have been anticipated; indeed, with the exception of being a little “dead,” and thereby preventing both fast run-getting and a fair opportunity of witness ing the tremendously fast bowling of Jackson, (who was obliged, from the state of the ground, to modify his pace) it was in a mach better state for playing than we expected to have found it. The ground itself is admirably situated, commanding a fine prospect of the surrounding country. On one side, and closely adjacent, is the celebrated -Moun' Royal (from the French designation of which the city takes its name), crowded to its lofty summit with maple trees, whese changing foilage, from lively green to the deepest crimson, looks inexpressibly beautiful. On the other side is a glimpee of the city of Montreal, its bright metallic roofs gleaming in the dis- tance like sheets of solid silver. Every exertion had been used by the Montreal Oricket Club to get the ground pre- pared, and on one side an extensive wooden gallery of seats had been erected to accommodate the visiters. ‘The timid, short-sighted policy of the Club, was evident the first day, for, although owing to mis management the ‘daily prees hud issued contradic- tory statements as to the time of the commencement ‘of the match, between 3,000 and 4,000 spectators wero peerent, Led —— the fare egy Craig for the privilege monopolizing the ground. Among the tales’ ware Geerral Wiliewa (the ' hero of Kars) and suite. The wickets were pitched about twelve o'clock, Major Campbell acting as umpire for the Canadians, and Mr. R. Carpenter (one of the twelve players) for the English cricketers. “The toss for choice of innings was won by the Eleven, who sent in their op- ponents first. Lieutenant Surman, R.C.R., and Mr. Swain first took the bat, to the bowling of Jackson and Cafyn, the former taking the first over, which was a maiden. In the next over from Caffyn, Swain obtained single by a cut, which he followed up with another from Jackson. Fle made a good off hit from Caffyn, the next over, for 2, buta ndid ball from that bowler took his wicket; one wicket for 4 runs. Lieutenant Symons, R.A., now joined Surman, who made leg hit off Jackson, which was 80 admirably fielded that only 1 could be obtained for it. Symons commenced with a good by dd for 2 off Jackson, but shortly after lost his partner, Surman being beauti- fully caught by Caffyn, atslip, off Jackson; 2 wickets and Srons. Lieutenant Bonner, R.A., next joined Symons, who was playing steadily. ‘The bowling, both by Caffyn and bE pp tl 80 good vr area pe curred, run- i appearing next to to the excellent fielding.

Fourdrinier suc- ceeded him, and Symons was shortly after splendidly caught by Jackson, with one hand at slip off . His score was 2;5 wickets and 10 runs. Hardinge next faced Fourdrinier, who commenced scoring with a good hit of Jackson for’. In the next over, Hardinge was bowled by Cuffyn, with a trimmer for 0; 6 wickets and 12 runs. Ravenhill succeeded him, and some runs were now ob- tained. Fourdrinier gave a chance to John Lillywhite, which was not taken, and Ravenhill was soon after caught by Jackson at slip, off Caffyn for 2. Capt. Earle followed, but Fourdrinicr soon after received notice to quit, being caught by Grundy at slip, off Jackson. His score of 6 was obtained’ by fine, steady’ play; 8 wickets and 18 rune. Pickering took his vacant place, and with Capt. Earle be- pinto put a little more confidence into the Montreal party. he former, by some finecuts, run up a score of 8, but in doing 80 Jost his partner, who was unfortunately run out after making 4 by good play; 9 wickets and 2runs. Capt. King next joined Pickering, but after scoring 3 his wicket ball from Jackson; 10 wickets was demolished by a fine and 84runs. The dinner bell now and the follow 19 is shows how admirable was 4 wickets; Caffyn bowled 96 overs and 4 wickets. On reguming play, Pickering was bowled the first ball, ‘Webber Smith joined Daly. A. fine dis" play of cricket now ensued, those two accomplished play- era making & most determined stand and scoring rapidly; from Caffyn, an‘ #0 much 60 as to cause a change ef bowling, H:H. Ste phenson going on at "8 end. after this change Webber Smith was bowled by Jackson, he having hit the ball on the wicket; his score of eight was obtained by some excellent play, and, con- sidering the high quality of the bowling and splendid fielding, was very creditable to his skill as a cricketer. Bacon took his place, but after scoring four by good play Was run out, the ball being so rapidly fielded and thrown in to the wicket keeper (Lockyer) by John Lillywhite that his wicket was down before he was aware of his danger— thirteen wickets and sixty-one runs. Morgan now joined Daly, whose steady yet brilliant batting defied the efforts of the bowlers, and who was scoring 80 rapidly as to ne- cessitate Wisden going on at 's end, Morgan did not trouble the scorers, af Hf was almost immediately caught by Wisden off Stophenson—fourteen wickets for sixty-three runs. Swettenham joined Daly, who gave a chance to Geo. Parr at point, which was not taken; his rapid scoring caused another change of bowling, Parr going on at Stephengon’s end and Jackson resuming his place at Wisden’s. In the next over, the dangerous, slow, underhand bowling of Parr took Daly’s wicket, who had made a stand of upwards of an hour against the best bowling that could be brought against him. His score of 19 was obtained by two 9's, four 2's, and the balance of singles; he was heartily cheered on his retire- ment to the tent. ‘J. U. Smith now joined Swettenham, and at once commenced scoring with a fine draw for 2 off Jackson, following it up with a cut to the slip for the game number. Swettenham, after scoring 8, was ad- monished to retire by a beautiful bail ball from Parr; 77 runs and 16 wickets. Napier followed, but was splendid- ly stumped by Lockyer off Parr before he had an oppor- tunity of scoring. His successor, Ellis, after makin, 2 lost his companion, who was caught by Stephenson off Parr’s bowling; 18 wickets and 80runs. Prior commenced with afine hit to the long field off for 2, but a trimmer from Jackson taking his off stump, prevented any further addi- tion to the score; 19 wickets and 84 runs. ‘Tilistone joined Ellis, and the latter was directly after caught by Parr off his own bowling. Kerr, the last man, after making # single, brought out his bat, as Tilistone was caught at the wicket by Lockyer off Parr. Total score 85 runs. About a quarter past five o’clock the Eleven com- menced their innings by sending in Wisden and ‘randy, to the bowling of Hardinge and Fisher, Wisden taxing the first over from tho former bowler. Grundy commenced with a single to the square leg, followed by a cut to the offside for the same amount. He was bowled the next over by Hardinge; 1 wicket and 2runs. Hayward suc- ceeded, and when the time for drawing the stumps (half- past five o'clock) arrived, 7 was scored; Wisden and layward being still in. Play will be resumed on Monday morning at eleven o'clock. ‘There was very little speculation on the ground on the result, as the success of the Eleven was deemed a fore- me conclusion. Their magnificent fielding elicited uni- yorsal ddmiration, their movements in play being so rapid and harmonious as to have the regularity of ma- cbinery. They must be seen to be thoroughly appre- ciated, and their forthcoming match at New York will afford a capital opportunity for so doing. a ‘The following is the score of the game for the first ay — TWENTY-TWO OF CANADA.

The place has long been known as ‘‘Crown’s Corner,” being one of the Five Pointe—the southeast corner of Worth and Little Water streete—and Was Many years ago the headquarters of a gang of bur glars and thieves. It has of late been occupied, or a6 least the second floor, front room, by ® mam named John H. Benjamin, and his mistress, Jano Bradford. They have resided here but a short time, and at times harbored girls of ill-repute. Benja- min has been for some time a vender of hot cakes about the Park, where no doubt many have observed him daily selling his cakes. About seven o’clock last evening, on returning home, he found his room door locked and bolted on the inside. At first he thought that hie mistress had gone out, but after knocking once or twice thought he heard footateps within; he at once suspected that his mis- tress had some one within with her, and that all was not right. Finding that it was impossible for him to get the door open, he returned to the street and went into the grocery store below, and made known his apprehensions to a friend whom he met there. They immediately started out with a view of returning to the door of his room, when he accidently looked up to the window of his. apartments looking on Little Water street, and observed ‘han apparently endeavoring to get out, with intentions of jumping down to the sidewalk, but he'observing ‘min, instantly drew back into the room; Benjamin his friend then hurried up to the room, and found that his mistress had drawn back the bok; on entering the room all was dark and quiet; Benjamin soon succeeded in Btrik- a light, when he found bis mistress sitting in a chair near the window; he asked her what was the reason she had the door locked, when she replied that it was none of his business; he then charged her with being drunk and upfaithfal to him; this she stoutly denied, began to cry; Benjamin then tw w pI Night upon the table, when he observed a onone of the beds at the other end of the went up tosee who he was, when he discovered th covered with blood, and blood oozing out of th nostrils.

A man who resides in the same house, it is said, observed Jane Bradford going into the house with a man, and the theory is that she has, with the aid of the man who jumped out of the window, roped the deceased in, and then killed and robbed him.’ Sergeant Petty, of the Sixth ward, as soon as he was made aware of the affair, took. several officers and repaired to the house, where he arrest- ed two females named Jane McCabe and Josephine On being conveyed to the station house they offered at first some little resistance, but were soon made aware their resistance was all in vain. They are both to have either been present at the time the murder was committed, or were aware of what was on, or the circumstances attending it.
