M. of the 10th inst, via Queenstown 11th inst., arrived at Hall- fax at nine o’clock yesterday morning, and sailed again at three P.

Sardinia had conrented to the inhabitants of Savoy voting on the subject. Lord John Russell had stated im the House of Commons that Austria and Prussia concurred in the views of Eng- land. Russia had not yet replied. ‘The House ef Commons had voted an address tothe @rown, approving the French treaty, the amendments offered thereto by the opposition having been rejected by a large majority. ‘Tt was reported that since Sardinia rejected Napoleon’s programme for Italy, the French troops have received orders to be ready to march at the first notice, and that the evacuation of Lombardy and return of the army to Prance are threatened. ‘The Bank of France had gained four and a half millions of francs in specie during the month. ‘The Paris Bourse was flat; the Rentes closed at 67f. 750. In the Liverpool cotton mazket there was a strong de- sire to realize, and prices had declined one-eighth of a penpy per pound on most descriptions. The sales of the ‘week amounted to 47,000 bales.

THE SAVOY QUESTION—RATIFICATION OF THE ANGLO- FRENCH COMMERCIAL TREATY—NEUTRALITY IN ITALIAN APFAIRS—THE VOLUNTEER RIFLEMEN’S BANQUET, ETC., RTC. In the House of Lords on the 8th inst. the Dake of Newcastle said the despatches laid before Parliament rela- tive to the Savoy question contained the details of every- thing that bad taken place. He admitted, however, that certain private letters from Lord Cowley, containing nothing of moment, had not been published. Several peers deprecated the practice of diplomatic correspondence being carried on by private letters. In the House of Commons Lord John Rassell requested Mr. Kinglake to postpone his motion protesting against the annexation of Savoy to Franoo, on the ground that dis- cussion now would be prejudicial to the public service. Mr. Kinglake consented, but would introduce it at a subsequent period. The subject of allowing France to carry out a system of emigration from India to her colonies, was brought up and denounced by Mr. Cane. Lord John Russell reiterated his previous explanation, that the arrangement was made with a view of abolishing the free emigration system of France, which practicably renewed all the evils of the slave trade; and, under these circumstances, he thought the new arrangement per- fectly justifiable. Mr. Byng moved an address to the Crown, approving of the new commercial treaty with France, and promising that Parliament will take the necessary steps to carry it into effect. Mr. Lindrey moved an amendment praying that her Majesty will adopt measures, by supplementary treaty or otherwise, to carry into effect the abolition of all differen- tial duties on vessels of the two countries trading be- tween their various ports and colonics. i Mr. Lindsey pointed out the disadvantages under which British shipping labored, and contended that an alteration of the French navigation laws was absolutely necessary. Lord A. Vane Tempest moved a further amendment, declaring that Parliament declines to express any opinion on the treaty until such time as the final intentions of the Emperor of the French with respect to Sayoy arc made known. A general debate took place on the merits of the treaty. After which Lord Vans Tempest withdrew his amend- ment, and further debate was adjourned to the noxt day. Sir H. Carrus, a leading conservative, said he would support the treaty. ‘The debate was resumed the following day. Mr. Horseman moved that the article in the treaty rela- tive to coals be admitted, but it was rejected by 226 majority. The debate involved the Savoy question and the general relations of England and France. The address was finally agreed to without an amendment and without a division, Mr. Haliburton presented a petition from British Ameri- ca against an alteration of the timber duties. Lord A. Vane Tempest asked if the government had taken steps to secure the co-operation of the great Powers in opposition to the annexation of Sayoy? Lord Jobn Ruseell said Austria and Prussia had inti- mated their concurrence in the views of England, but no reply had been received from Russia, The government had not asked them to take any steps in the matter. In the Houee of Lords a debate on Italian affairs took Place, strict neptrality being urged by all parties. ‘The a mn in London in homtor of the offizers of the volunteer corps passed off with great éclat. About twenty six hundred officers attended the levee and were Presented to the Queen. The banquet, presided over by the Duke of Cambridge, was attended by about 1,000 officers, and at a grand ball in the new Floral Arcade and Covent Garden theatre, about 6,000 persons were prerent. - Unusually high tides were experienced in England on the Sth and 9th.

Execution of Philip Lynch for the Mar- der of George Coulter. Mousr Hoy, N. J., March 23, 1860. Philip Lynch was hung to-day at Mount Holly, the shire town of Burlington county. for the murder of George Coulter. This case of murder was of #0 atrocious a na ture, and the eriminal being such a notorioutly bad character, it naturally caused much excitement. On the evening of the 24th of September last Tynch “murdered Coulter in the streets of Bordentown in cold blood, The parties had been drinking together and after separating Lynch went home and precuring his gun way- laid Coulter and beat his brains out. The barrel of the gun was bent almost double, and not satisfied with that, he stabbed his victim with the broken and jagged end of the stock. Being an inland county, and such cases happening but vory rarely, the execution caused much excitement, and the evening before the hotels were crowded to excess ‘Torr, March 8, 1860. The 0; inione publishes Count Cavour’s despatoh of the 2d relative to Savoy and Nice. He declares that the ag- grandizement of Sardinia can never prove dangerous to France; but considering the obligations that Sardinia is under to France, serious attention must be given to the Emperor's demands. At the moment when Sardinia de mands for the inhabitants of Central Itely the right to dis- pore of their deatiny she exposes herself [to the charge of inconsistency if she denies the right of freely expressing their wishes to her subjects dwelling on the other side of the Alps.

His Movements on Staten Island and in New York, His Supposed Flight to Stonington and Pursuit by the Police, ADDITIONAL DETAILS OF THE TRAGEDY, ae, &., ae. ——_ ‘The intorest manifested by the public in the fate of the captain and crew of the ill-fated oyster aloop E. A. John- son increases daily, and the news of the arrest of tho por. petrator of the murders is looked forward to with cager ness as intense alnfost as that which attended the Eudora tragedy a few years ago. Since the discovery of the sloop in the lower bay on Wednesday morning, up to last Bight, the excitement among the fishermen and market men has continued to grow apace, and 80 strong is the feeling exhibited now, that the authorities have taken pre cautionary measures to prevent the lynching of the offender when he errives here in charge of the police. THE CREW OF THE SLOOP. ‘When the E. A. Johnson left the foot of Spring street, onthe 16th instant, ahe had on board the {pliowiag named persons:—George Burr, captain; William Johason, mato; Smith Watts and Oliver Watts, hands. The Watts’ boys were old acquaintances of the captain, and livod ia Islip, L. L, in Mr. Burr’s immediate neighborhood. Jobneon, the suspected party, wasa married man, and lived at 129 Cedar street. He never had been on board the vessel before, and was employed by the orptain a few hours previous to sailing. The object of the voyage ‘was well known to all on board, and all were aware that the captain had quite a snog sum of money on board. From an oyster dealer at Fulton Market Capiain Burr had received ‘$800, ana when he arrivod at Keyport Mesars. Barnes & Simmons placed in his hands about $50 more. The voyage to Keyport passed off without any incident worth noticing. On Sunday, the 18th instant, the sloop set sai! from Keyport on her trip to Deep Creck, Virginia, where she was to take ip a cargo of oysters for planting and returo to Keyport with all possible despatch. What terrible and bloody work transpired on board from that time up to Wednesday morning is best known, perhaps, to William Johnson, for he appears to be the only one of the crew who is now alive to tell the tale of “Murder most foul aod unnatural.”’ ‘The next thing that is positively known concerning the sloop after her departure from Keyport is her collieion with the achooner Jobn B. Mather, Captain Nickerson, about half past three or four o'clock on Wedn2sday morn. tpg. The sloop was then sailing in the direction of New York, while the schooner was going in an opposite direc- tion, bound for the’ Delaware Breakwater. THE COLLISION Occurred off the tail of the West Bank, and was no doubt the result of ignorance or fright on the part of the steers. man of the sloop. When within three hundred yards of each other, the course ef the sloop was suddenly changed» and her head was directed full against the schooner’s quarter. Every effort was made by Captain Nickerson toavold the collision, but in vain, so unexpected was the movement on board the sloop. The schooner was cut down to within eight inches of the water’s edge; but for- tunately her commander was able to keep her efloa! until the arrived at Quarantine, where she was taken intow by steamboat and conveyed to this city. In conversation with our reporter on Wednesday afternoon, Capt. Nicker- gon stated that the sloop had only one man on deck at the time of the collision, and that he never uttered a word during the time the vessels were together. The sloop drifted to leeward, and as her stern swung around a yaw) ‘oat could be detected hanging from the davits. On his arrival in the East river some hours after the collision, Capt. Nickerson saw the E. A. Jobngon lying at Fulton Mar. ket slip, and immediately identified her as the sloop that had caused such damage on board his vessel ; bo- sides, a quantity of rigging left on board of his vessel in the colision, correrponding with that missing from the sloop, reduced the identity almost toa certainty. He im- mediately gave information of the matter to Capt. Weed, and an important link fn the chain of circumstantial evi- dence againet the accused Was thuz secured. THE DISCOVERY OF THE SLOOP in her dismantled condition, after the collision, was first made by Capt. Sistare, of the fishing schooner Telegraph. ‘The E. A. Jobnson was then drifting in the lower bay, about midway between Coney Island and Sandy Hook. ‘Her saila were all down and hanging in the water, her bowsprit and cutwater carried away, and her general ap- pearance denoting an abandoned wreck. The Telegraph immediately bore down for the wreck, and just as she ‘was coming alongside the steamboat Ceres, Capt. Downs, came up, and the crews of both vessels boarded the sloop together. The eight that presented itself on board the E. A. Johnson was truly eickening. The entire deck on the starboard side was covered with blood, while here and there the presence of several locks of matted bair showed too plainly that they were gazing upon the theatre of some mysterious and dreadful tragedy. The condition of things around the companion way and down in the cabin confirmed their worst fears. It was evident that the crow had been murdered, their bodies dragged to the rajl and. thrown overboard. The marks of blood upon almost every article of furniture, together with the tossed condition of the clothing and bed clothes, led to the im- preesion that the work of murder had immediately been preceded by that of robbery. Every closet, cupboard and place of acposit seemed to have been ransseked, judging from the marks of blood and tossed condition of the contents. Fully satisfizd in their own mindé that some horrible tragedy had taken place on board, they promptly started for New York, bearing with them’ the dismantled sloop. ARRIVAL AT FULTON MARKEY PIER. ‘The E. A. Johnson arrived here in tow of the Cores about talf-past eight o’clock, and was moored in Fulton market slip. Upon the arrival of the sloop Capt. Weed, of the Second district police, immediately proceeded on ‘Doard and took possession of the veesel until the Coroner made hie appearance. Corocer Schirmer, Doctors Bouton and Beach and our reporter proceeded on board the sloop for the purpose of investigating the matter, at which time the pier Was crowded with fishermen, oyster dealers and others, all anxiously ‘waiting the result of the inquest, ‘Tho sloop certainly had the appearance of having recent. ly been in collision with some yersel, judging from the damaged condition of her bowsprit and cutwater. Her sails, too, were tyifig loos on deck, and everything do- noted signa of esafusion and violence.

A broom, which had apparently been used in sweeping the blood fromthe floor, and @ fiaiiither, also smeared with blood, were found near the p Prints ef bleed were found on the Isdider td the deck, upon the lockers, upon the sides of the wad upon the celiing. Upon the beams and ceiling wore four distinct marke as if made with a hatchet or ‘othe sharp inatrament, and one of the indentations was stained with blood. A pair of pantaloons, in the pockets of which were twenty-nine cents, were found wrapped up tha piece of blood stained paper; aleo the handle of a carpet bag or valise, which bad recently been torn off. The rons were, upon examination, found to be filled with blood, whictr had leaked down from the floor and allowed to remain there in the clotted state in which it was discovered. All the lockers and closets were stained with biood, probably by the aseaesin while searching for pluader, a8 also the stove and ccoking utenriis. ‘The beds and bed clothes, with the excep ion of a single Pillow case, were free from blood; bit the gore ould be traced up to the berths on either sido of the cabin In epots and large stains ‘Two pairs of boots belonging to the captain, reveral patrrof pentaloons, a pimber of come hate, a marling spike, two eheath kniver, a violin, a plate the stove and around the wood pile; it was found to be mixed with water, which led the doctors to believe that some attempt had been made lo wash tue floor, but had Probably been abandoned as futile. | EVIDENCES THAT THE BODIES WERE. I OvER- ) BOARD, From the cabin the blood was traced up the companion y way to the deck, where marks as if produced by the dragging of come bloody substance, were observable all along from the cabin door to the side of the vessel. The rail, too, was smeared with blood, and also the side of the sloop, showing that the assassin concluded his work by throwing the evidence of his guilt into"the sea, The finger marke of blood on the rail and tho indentation ‘of # knife lead to the belict that the murderer was compelled * to sever the hand of his victim as he clung to this frail support before he could throw him overboard. On the starboard side, near the centre board, was found a large pool of blood, which was also traced to the side of the vessel. The second victim had probably been Murdered here, dragged tothe rail and thrown over- board. Farther forward, noar the main hatoh, was an- other pool of blood, connecting with a fourth pool around the foremast and forecastic hatchway, and occupying a space of about six feet square. In the Ialter pool was found a lock of brown hair, which had evidently been torn out of the murdered man’s bead in the struggle. A careful examination of the bold was made, but uo marks of blood or traces of @ struggle could be discovered. A quantity of carth, used as ballast, probably, eome oyster baskets amd firewood, were all that it contained. The hatches were secured by order of the Coroner, and the keys placed in obarge of Captain Weed jot:! wo day, when a further and thorough examination of the j Premises will be made. Upon an examination of the | sterv of the sloop it was discovered that the tackle was lowered to the water’s edge, and the smatt boat which usually hang there had been taken away. LANDING OF THE SUSPECTED STRANGER. Tt was about daylight ou Wednesday morning when a Stranger, about 35 years of age—apparestly a sailor, dreneed in @ pea jacket, a gray colored pair of pantaioons and an old Kossuth bat—came ashore at Staten Iuland in @ yaw! boat, with the intention of taking the ferry-boat for New York. The stranger was first observed at Vaa- derbilt landing, where he arriwed a few miputes too late totake the six o’clock bost. He hada large baz in his hand, which he said contaized his clothing and money. While waiting at the landiog for the seven o'clock doat he got into conversation with Mr. Egbert, the doce mas- ter, and requested to be directed to some place whsre he eould get some oysters. Ho was directed to the saloon of Mr. Van Pelt, in the neighborhood, where he drank two glasses of Nquor and ate an oyster siev. Ho seemed very flush with his money, refusicg to take the charge that was coming to him, sod offering one of the waiters in the saloon @ piece of gold coin. He expressed himself gorry at nos catching the six o'clock bost, as he wag;in a great hurry, he said, to reach the city. At seven o'viosk he wenton board the Southfield, where he mals the ac- quaintance of one of the deckbands, aad related that he was a shipwrecked sailor. He appeared quite commaxi cative, and stated that he was the oaly survivor of ihe sloop William Tell »which had been sunk that :aorning by coming in collision with a schooner. The! captain, he said, had been killed outright by the bowsprit striaing him in the abdompn; but what beeame of ‘the reet of ihe crew he did not know. He said be just hadetime to jump into the yaw! boat, with his clothes and money, when tha sloop sunk. While relating the story of his misfortune ho produced a bag of money, and requested the deckhaud to help him to couat it over, as he was afraid some ono had been cheating him. ‘The money consisted of g>id and silver coin, and, to the best of the deckhand’s recol- lection, the bag contained about $600. HIS ARRIVAL IN NEW YORK: Before the counting of the money could B® concluded, the Southfield arrived atthe Battery,ani the stranger gathering up his mone}, left the boat, with the intention, beeaid, of seeing if something could not be done to- wards raising the sloop, From the Battery tho police traced the stranger to 129 Cedar etreet, where he met his wife and child, the latter about ten years of age. Hore the officers ascertained that the stranger’s namo was no other than William Johnson, the mate of the ill fated sloop, anda ray of light bright as the sun at once was ehed upon the dark apy mysterious case they hat under examination, From some persons réiiding ia th» house the detectives learned, that immediately after his arrival in this city Johnson proceeded to a barbor’s shop and had his face shaved and bair cut, for the pur- pose, no doubt, of disguising himself, and that after packing up some trunks he proceeded on board the Stonington boat, and engaged a stateroom for himeclf THE DETECTIVES ON THE TRAILS The important information contained in the above paragraph was not receivea by the parties until Thurs- day morning—nearly fiften hours after thd suspected party had left the city. The telegraph was Drovght into tte, however, and orders were forwarded to Stonington ‘nd Providence to arrest the accused shoald he make his appearance in either of those Citica, “Délectives Ni- vens andSmith took the eleven o'clock train the same day, and pursued their way to Stonington all pos- sible despatch, for the purpose of following’up tho fugi- tive should hefleave for the interior. The officerstiave a full description of both Jobngon and bis wife, and cannot fail to recognise the couple the moment they appear in eight. Yesterday Captain Wyld received ipformation that the detectives had arrived in Stonington, and had started for Providence in puraui of the fogitive. The information came from the captain of the Stonington boat, which arrived here Yesterday, morning, and is considered reliable. Jolinson is snpposgd to have gone to his father’s residence in Rhode Island, at a point on the railroad about, half way between Stonington and Providence, and the parties are making arrangements to catch him accordingly. Yesterday afternoon the carman who took Johnson’s luggage down to the steamboat wharf informed Captain ‘Weed that the fugitive had taken the Fall River boat, and not the Stonington boet, as was at first wed. The carman says he does not know Johnson by name, but his deecription of the person whose baggage he put.on board the Fall River boat corresponds to @ nicety with that of Johnson. He rays that after'the Inggage, which consisted of two trunks and a batbox, had been put fon board, the owner requested him if any inquiries werd made to tay that he had gone to Albany. Tho person (4 woman) who informed Captain Weed that Johnson had taken the Stonington boat {was an old acquaintance of the Tagitive’s , wife, and says she went on board with the family and only left them when the bour of departure had arrived, go that it ie alfogethcr probable that the carman is mis- taken in the identity of the man, and that Johnson did take paseage in the Stonington boat after all. THE LATEST DISCOVERIES. “ During the entire of yesterday the police were indefati- gable in their exertions to jmake such discoveries {as would lead to the ultimate arrest and conviction of the maréercr. Telegraphic despatches were sent to Provi- dence, Boston and Portland, requesting the autHorities in those cities te be on the lookout for the fugitive.” Captain Dowling, of the Sixth precinct, who stafted for Boston in the early train, om business connected with the department, brought with him a full deecription of Johnsen, and will put the detectives there in posgession of such facts as will, it is hoped, lead to tbe arrest, of the fugitive, ehould he make bis appedrance in that city. The E. A. Johnson was vieited by tho Assistant United Stater District Attorney yesterday afternooa, and a num- ber of other officia!, who were shown all through the ves- sel by Captain Weed. “The yawl boat which was seen adrift in the bay on Thuredsy was brought to, the city yesterday morning, by policemen James and Burdett, of the har bor police, and placed on board the sloop, Taere } were no marks of blood upon the boat, and it contained nothing beyond acouple of cars and a broom... A large coxcouree of people lingered around the) sloop all day, end was@ much as the police could do to keep the venee! clear, fo intense wast the curiosity to see apd hear everything ‘retathing to (ho horrible tragedy. te's OMice, Sukrog Before Edward C.
