Municipal and Commercial Compliments to American Institutions and Progress— The Eric Railway Administration. London, Oct, 22, 1873. There was a banquet at the Mansion House last evening, at which there were about 300 persons present, including representatives of the various city companies. Among the prominent guests were Hon. Joseph Mediil, Mayor of Chicago, and Mr. P. H. Watson, President of the Erie Railway. The Lord Mayor of London proposed the toast, “Prosperity to the Trade and Commerce of the United States and the British Colonies,’ and asso- ciated the name of Mr. Watson with the subject. Mr. Watson, replying, thanked the Lord Mayor for his flattering attention to his (Mr. Watson’s) administration of the Erie Railway Company. He spoke of the difficulties necessarily attending such @ reformation as had devolved on him to under- ‘take. He said the hearty support and approval he had received in England strengthened him to grapple with the diMculties that yet remained to be overcome, Honorable and intelligent adminis- ‘tration for American railroads was as important, de said, as sound government for the country. Mr. Medill was called on to respond to the toast, “The Municipal Institutions of America.” In doing 0 he too« opportunity to return thanks to London for the aid sent to Chicago after her great fire. John Bright in Review of the National Situation and Cabinet Policy—The Relations With tne United States. Lonpon, Oct. 22, 1873, The Right Hon. John Bright addressed an assem- ‘blage, estimated to number 16,000 persons, iu Bir- amingham to-night. He commended the administration of Mr. Glad- tone for its past legislation, with the exception o1 the Education act, which he said was framed in @ hasty manner and is incomplete. He advocated the repeal of clause 25 of the act, by which denominational schools are allowed to receive payment from the public rates. In his opinion a ‘general re-examination of the question was nec- seasary. Speaking of the war against the Ashantees, Mr. Bright said no one was more anxious than was the administration for a reasonable and pacific adjust- ment of the difficulty. He believed the interests and honor of the country would be best consulted by the absolute withdrawal of the British colonies from the Ashantee coast at no distant date. He then referred to the relations between Great Britain and the United States. Some Englishmen had spoken of the Treaty of Washington as hu- Miliating to Great Britain. The humiliation ‘was between 1861 and 1865. If at that time the British government had practised toward the United States a generous neutrality, athe wealthier classes of England would not in the dmain have sided with the insurrectionary slave- holding planters. If the newspapers here had then dealt in a spirit of fairness with our transat- antic kinsmen, the dispute settled by the treaty of 1872 would not have arisen. The conduct of the administration in rejerence to that treaty and the subsequent arbitration under its provisions had added a nobler page to the history of England than had all the bloody batties recorded in its history. He praised the Earl of Derby for initiating the method of settling international disputes by arbi- tration, for the reduction of the qualifications necessary to the exercise of the county franchise, for the redistribution of the representation in Par- iament and for moving for rejorm of the game and land laws. He said that among the questions which demand an early solution the last was the one especially of interest to the agricultural laborers of the country, whom the present system, tending to the acquirement of large landed estates, debars trom all hopes of proprietor- ship in the soul. He acknowledged the harshness of the operation of the tax upon incomes. Reviewing forty years -of supremacy of the liberals in the government as years of progress and prosperity to the country, he animadverted severely upon the conservative obstructiveness and their present lack of settled policy, and urged the country to continue to sup- port the liveral party. Mr. Brignt’s address occupied an hour and ten ‘Minutes in its delivery, and was received with un - flagging enthusiasm to its close.

Confession of Louisa HKillien of the Butchery of Margaret Braunlein on Saturday Last—Only One Year in the Country and Posted on the Insanity Dodge. PITTSBURG, Pa., Oct. 22, 1873. The circumstance of finding the butchered body of old Margaret Brauniein in her room in the house off Wylie avenue last Saturday morning has already been made public. The hor- rible, heartless deed—that of butchering an old, inoffensive woman—sent a thrill of horror through the community, and steps were at once taken to unravel the deep mystery which sur- rounded the murder, The German family named Schuettler, living in a portion of the tenement, Were arrested and subjected to a rigid examination, but their statements had the ring of genuineness about them that puzzled the detectives considerably. In this family is a young girl aged twenty-two, whose maiden name is Louisa Killien, She is said to have married John Schuettier, one of the Jamily, about two weeks since, This pair lived on Mount Washington, and were known to have slept in Schuettler’s tene- ment on THE NIGHT OF THE MURDER. Their house on Mount Washington was visited by ofiicers, and after a thorough search hanks of stovking yarn, bedding ana female apparel, known to have been the property of old Mrs, Braun- lein, were discovered. Evidences of the par- ticipation of this young couple in the butch- ery were siowly but surely accumulating. At length, becoming aware of this and wishing to free herself trom the persistent, searching questions of the detectives and reiieve her soul of the weight of guilt, Louisa Killien this morning con- fessed having killed the old lady with a hatchet. The confession was first made to Officer Messner, in the station house, who, ap- proaching the girl, told her the case was strong against her and that nothing but the mercy of God would save her. She fell on her knees and told him she was crazy when the dved was committed and did no® know what she was doing, She begged piteously not to be brought again before the Coro- ner’s jury to pierce her wicked heart with ques- tions. She still clung to the oMicer, telling him that no one else was concerned in the crime, SHE HAD DONE IT HERSELF, but conld not tell why it had been done or when. Ata late hour she was brought imto the presence of the Coroner’s jury. She appeared very sick and broken down, and an oficer was compelled to sup- port her. She repeated the story told to Mr. Mess- ner. She could not remember what the old lady was doing when she struck her down, and could not tell whether the murder was committed on ‘Thursday or Friday Morning. She said she did not get acent of money in the house, and would not disclose if she precured anything else. the examination the _ seli-confess murderess was the picture of imisery and despair. She kept ner eyes closed, and most of the ume pressed her head with her haud, Shesecmed to be suffering iutenseiy both mentaily and physically, and ireqaently moaned piteously. Louisa, or Lizzie as she is better known, is just a year from the old country. APPEARANCE OF THE MURDERESS, She is apparently about twenty-two years of age. Her robust pS 18 peculiar to countrywomen. She has a fuil, round pleasing face witharather tnocent expression. She is not handsome but 19 possessed of a pair of bright, sparkling eyes, She Speaks and understands little English, but pro- fesses to be ignorant of that tongue in the main. John Schuettler, her husband, has @ most peculiar face. While the remainder of the tace is raw- ee bis cheek bones are surrounded by a super- uous amount of flesh, presenting a decidedly odd appearance. He is of medinm ‘nay quite slender and of sallow complexion; his age is twenty three, AS soon as the murderess recovers from her prostration it is expected she wil] make a full con ession, EFFECTS OF THE LATE PANIO, The Pay of Kailroad Employes To Be Reduced=Ten Thousand People Out of Employ me: BUFFALO, N.

OCTOBER 23, 1873.—TRIPLE SHEET. THE YELLOW FEVER. Nervthasee=<hibsaeita SuReverort, Oct. 22. 1873. A good rain storm to-day inspires us with the hopes that the fali weather has commenced and that the inroads now being made on the rural dis- tricts by the yellow fever will be cut short. Te-day Dr. A. Flourney, one of the oldest and most prom- nent citizens, is dying at his plantation, thirteen miles from this city. His son, Captain William Flourney, and three of nis family, are very low at his residence, fifteen miles from the city. None of those parties had been in town since the epidemic broke out, Will THE MEDICAL FRATERNITY rise to explain the reason of these attacks in the rural districts? There has been no change in the epidemic in the city during the last twenty-four hours. A few new cases were reported in town as well as quite a number on the outskirts. It is im- possible to get reliable data of the progress of the disease in the contiguous country, as it has spread over such a large extent. Among the new cases to-day are C. W. Bosworth and Father Ferree, THE SIXTH CATHOLIC PRIEST attacked. There are no other prominent cases. Among the deaths are A. W. O. Hicks, Jr., medical student, ana Mrs. Julia F, Weaver. Sister Rose died at the Convent, This makes THREE SISTERS OF MERCY that have died. W. H. Ford is improving. Isaac Kaahn, Captain E. Barnes and J. R. Boone are in @ very critical condition. Nurses Arnold and Nolan are much better. F, A. Peeples, wife and two children were all taken down during the last lew days, THE INTERMENTS to-day were three whites and one black. E. F. Schmidt, President of the New Orleans Howard Association, and Dr. Hurd, of New Orleans, 1¢- turned to-day from Marshall on the sanitary tram. They report the disease very bad; that seventy- five per cent of those attacked die. Condition of Memphis—Ail Hope of an Early Abatement of the Disease Aban- doned—The Mortuary Report for Yes- terday—An Appeal for Aid. MEMPHIS, Oct. 22, 1873. L. R. Richards, City Register, one of the oldest inhabitants of Memphis, died this morning of yel- low fever, aged seventy-six years. Dr. R. J. Free- man, Secretary of the Board of Health, died also of yellow fever to-day. Dr. J. J. Williams is reported very low. A private telegram reports the sale of the charity bale of cotton at St. Louts tor $90. A steady rain since two o’clock this morntng has destroyed all .hope for the early abatement of the disease. Sudden changes of temperature and warm rain work more fatal results than continu- ous warm weather. One day’s report of only a lew new cases leads to hopes that are but to be crushed by the succeeding day’s development of a sudden change in the weather and an increased number of victims. There is no safety here yet. THE MORTUARY REPORT from noon yesterday to noon to-day shows thirty deaths trom yellow fever and seven from other causes. ‘There were twenty-seven deaths from yellow fever to-day and three from other causes, An Appeal for Aid.

A VIRGINIA BOURBON, An Ancient Statesman Advocates the Forcible Removal of the Blacks to St. Domingo—He Thinks That Is the Pur- pose of the President. RICHMOND, Oct, 22, 1873. The event of the present campaign in this city was the address delivered in Assembly Hall before alarge and intelligent audience this eveuing by Mr. A. H. H. Stuart, of Staunton. Mr. Stuart will be remembered in national politics as Mr. Fill- more’s Secretary of the Interior, and a former leader of the whig party. He is one of the very few Virginians who still retain their na- tional reputation, and in this respect may be said to divide the honors with Hunter and Wise, It is not known whether he aspires to Senatorial honors or not, but ifso, and if Hunter killed himself of, as it is alleged, by his Winchester speech, m advocat- ing compensation for the emancipated slaves, | Stuart has now aiso committed political selodese by the advocacy of the equally impracticable doctrine | of the forced colonization of the negroes of the South in St, Domingo or some other point beyond the limits of the country, and by his antique views generaily. His speech was a very long one, and, of course, Wasan able effort, but entirely out of date. Very few people here have any idea that the negro can ever be driven to seek a reiuge elsewhere, and thus rid the whites from the hor- rors of his dark presence. In the course of his speech Mr. Stuart held that the only issue in Virginia is whether the white or the black man shall rule. It has nothing what- ever to do with federal politics at this time, the question being absolutely local. He went back and. reviewed the whole history of slavery, and dwelt upon its violent abolition, denounc- ing the government tor inhumanity in freeing the nentoos ‘and then leaving them, poor, ignorant and unprotected, as well as for conferring upon them the right of citizenship without educating them up to its duties and obligations. He also declared the utter antagonism and _ instinct- ive antipathy of the races and the impos. elbiiity vi & whites and blacks dweling together in peace and harmony. He quoted the opinions of the greatest men in the nation, from Jefferson to Lincoln and Ben Wade to, prove that the negroes could not and ought not to remain in the same community with white people in a free con- dition, and that with their freedom must come their deportation to another coustry or extermination. He cited the case of the Indians who had been driven out and excluded from our society. A con- flict, too, between white and black labor was com- ing Which, would prove irresistibié. He believed the object of General Grant in iis effort to acquire St. Domingo was the colonization o! the negroes of the South in that favored spot. He had never believed in the charge that the President had an; pe in view in this byt that prompted by the hie! est, purest and most Satriotic motives the and governed by the wisest of statesmanship. He ‘was only desirous of securing an asylum and refuge for this outcast and oppressed race, The fact that he had entrusted tue mission to Ben Wade, who was avowedly in favor of sending the negroes ‘to the tropics,” and to Fred Douglass, one of their own race, was proof positive, in his mind, that the Pres- ident Javored this scheme and was alone desirous of furthering it in his purchase of St. Domingo. Mr. Stuart referred to the exodus of the Jews irom the Jando Eexpt, and pre- dicted a like exodas of the black race and a grand future for them in the Canaan of the Prest- aent’s selection. It was either this solution or the bloody one of a War of races ana extermination. The temper of the speech was most admirable throughout and the tone coneiliating, while the language Was courteous and the expresstons to- wards the North and the government all of a kindly nature and friendly. but as a whole it did not give faction here, \inpeda Naat aen nas im ‘practicable, especially that ieature relatin to the 0 exodus, which almost everybody fecis to be an ossibility, 00 matter how dest it migot be dyona 8 senkiayental DOIny Of view. AMUSEMENTS. “Don Giova: at the Academy of Music. “Don Giovanni,” the chef-d'auvre of Mozart, the work on which, in spite of a bad libretto, he lav- ished the richest treasures of his imagination and in which there is not a dull musical thought, is the rock on whic) many a stately operatic argosy has been artistically wrecked. One cannot point toa satisfactory periormance of this work jor years past in this city, and even in boastful London it has fared badly at both houses, Covent Garden and Drury Lane. The Italian artists, even those of the highest order, seem at all times to fail in the com- prehension of the innate beauties of this opera, and it would be interesting to collect the frag- ments of artists’ reputations among the past Donna Annas, Donna Eiviras, Zerlinas, Don Juans, Lepo- rellos and Don Ottavios. Representatives of these roles, who shone with obrilliancy im more modern works, came to grief in the music of Mozart. The Germans have been more success- ful in presenting the opera with a compiete en- sembie. What we remarked aiter the production of “The Magic Flute” last week at the Grand Opera. House about the extreme difficulty of obtaining nowadays ail the materials necessary for a proper representation of an opera of Mozart, is particularly applicable to “Don Gio- vanni.” It is, therefore, not judicious for an impresario to subject his company to such a severe test. Weakness in any one of the eight roles, or in the chorus or orchestra, is fatal to the success Of the opera. When itis not a great suc- cess it becomes dull, monotonous and uuinterest- ing. There is nomedium. Triumph or failure can only attend a representation of the opera of “Don Giovanni.” There have been many memorable casts in this opera. At lier Majesty's Theatre, London, many ears ago, “Von Giovanni’ was given with the fol- lowing cast:—Donna Anna, Mme, Pasta; Zerlina, Mile. Persiani; Don Ottavio, Signor Rubini; Don Gio- Vani, Signor Tamburint ; Leporelly, Signor Lablache. At Covent Garden Grisi has appeared as Donna Anns, Corballi as Donna ivira, Albont, Viardot, and Bosio as Zeriini; Mario as Don Ot- tavio, Tamburini as Don Giovanni, and Curl Formes as Leporeilo. Tagliont danced in the min- uet at Her Majesty’s and Carlotta Grisi at Covent Garden, Later still Donna Anna found a mag- nificent representative in Mile. Tietjens, alternat- ing With Mme. Barbot; Donna Elvira was imper- sonated by Di Murska and Nilsson, Zer- lima by Volpini and Lalitsky, Don Ottavio by Giugiint and Gardoni, and Don Giovanni by Gassier, santiey and Faure. All of these artists, too, have identified themselves with the opera to an extent that their fame mainly rests upon thetr success in their respective rd/es. ‘The Donna Anna oi Mile, ‘lietjens and the Leporello of Carl Formes will be remembered as long as the memory of Mozart is green in the mind of every musician. The cast last evening was as follows:—Donna Anna, Mile. Maresi; Donna Elvira, Mme. Nilsson; “Zeruna, Mic. Torriani; Don Ottavio, Signor Cam- anini; Don Giovanni, M. Maurel; Leporello, Signor Nannetti; Masetto, Signor Scolara; Commander, Signor Colett. The only artists who achieved a thorough success were Mme, Nilsson and M. Maurel. ‘The rdle of Elvira is always considered an ungrate- ful one, as it possesses neither the grandeur of the music of Donna Anna nor the taking coquetry of the airs of Zeriina. It was so completely neglected in Pasta’s time that it was not even mentioned in the cast. Yetit isimportant in a dramatic sense as the title rdle, The deserted wile of the libertine serves a8 a necessary foil to his heartiess, licen- tious schemes, and she occupies more of the attention of the public from the first to the last scene than either Donna Anna or Zerlina. it is a terrible strain on an artist like Mme. Nilsson, for she was obliged, last night, to fi!l up the many blanks which the weakness of her assist- ants occasioned. But she nobly accomplished her un- grateiul task, and it would be dificult to point to another occasion in which the greatness and complete symmetry of her art were more apparent. ‘he ‘recitative and aria, the former commencing with ‘In quali eccessi. O numi,’’ and the latter with ‘Mi tradi, queil’ alma | ingrata,” transposed on this occasion from the last to the first uct, were delivered with that purity and at the same time breadth of tone and style, clearness Of phrasimg and wartath of expression that would have satisied the composer himself, squeamish as he wasin his opinions of vucal artists, ‘The celebrated trio of Donna Anna, Donna Elvira and Don Ottavio, “Protega tl giusto cielo,” was saved irom utter insignilicance in the rendering by the magnificent art ot Mme Ni mn. It is an extremely dificult piece of music, and the Swedish nightingale deserves more praise for keeping the other soprano and the tenor from breaking down in it than Jor any triumph she has gained in operas where she had no such ungrate- fui work to perform. In other scenes the influ. ence of her art was felt to advantage, and her Donna Elvira must be placed as one of the best roles that the modern operatic stage can boast of. It 1s only under such circumstances that the iuil measure of her greatness as an artist can be ielt. The Don Giovanni of M. Maurel was worthy to be Placed beside the Donna Elvira of Mme. Nilsson. A thorough artist, at home in any rd/e and gifted with @ ayy bond voice of exceptional calibre both in tone, flexibility and training, he invested the title rdle with a significance it bas lacked for years on the boards of the Academy. O1 all the weil known music of the rdle the most deligntful in his interpretation was the serenade, with its quaint, pizzicato accompaniment. He sang it with an ei- tect that brought an instantaneous encore. After M. Faure the operatic stage can boast of no Don Juan equal to Maurel. ‘The rest of our task is not so agreeable. Mlle. Maresi was-evidently overweighted in the music of Donna Anna, and made anything but a favorable impression. Mille. Torriani’s voice seemed to Shrink in tone until there was little betwixt it and silence in the “Batti, batti? and ‘Vedrai Carino” of Zerltna, Campanini obtained a recall in “tl mio tesoro, though all through he was ill at ease in the music of Mozart. The Lepo- rello of Nannetti was a mere clown, and unlike anything ever known before in this role. The chorus and orchestra pursued independent paths more than once during the opera, and the mise en scene was worse than ever betore. Facts are stubborn things, and every one re- gretted to find in last night's represen- tation of this wonderful opera an_ utter absence of ensemble in the most essential points. When will Mozart receive justice? He has been cruelly dealt with on two occasions this season, and unless more care is taken with the “Nozze di Figaro,” which, we presume, will be the next of his works [per ee betore the New York public, there will be another shipwreck of artistic reputa- tious and managerial promises, Musical and Dramatic Notes. As we predicted before the prices were lowered at any of the theatres, the adoption of the HERALD’s suggestion has brought out a class of theatre goers who before were practically debarred from places of amusement. | The Aimée opéra bouge company, which is now singing at the Tacon Theatre in Havana, has achieved a very great success, The Havanese never before had opéra boufe, and the theatre on the first night was crowded beyond anything seen since Ristort’s first appearance in Havana. A very funny mistake occurred in the regular pro- gramme of Wallack’s Theatre the other day, Mr. Les- ter Wallack’s partin-“She Stoops to Conquer” being printed in a notice of the purposed production of the comedy, “Owen Marlowe,” instead of Young Marlowe. The compositor and proof-reader ought to have known that Owen was not the only young Marlowe left to the stage while Lester Wallack lives. The principal members of the Maretzek opera company give what cannot fail to be a splendid concert at Steinway Hall to-morrow evening. Signor Tamberlik and Mile. Di Murska both appear, and other artists will participate. Tamberlik will, of course, repeat the at success of last week in concert and in opera. Yesterday both he and Mile.

Bridget Thompson, twenty-six years old, was Killed last evening by her husband, at their resi- dence, No. 451 West T'wenty-seventh street. He was arrested almost immediately alter committing the deed, and locked up at the Iwentieth precinct Sstavion house, According to Thompson's statement he arrived at dis home last evening about five o’clock and found bis wife drunk. This so annoyed him, as she had been lately in the habit of getting into the same condition, that he quarreilea with her. He threw water upon her, pushed and beat her, but did not use suilicient violence to kill her. The night before last, when he returned from his day’s labor, he found her lying on the floor in a state of stupid intoxication and his poor children wandering about uncared for. He roused her trom the stupor, tearing that she migh¢ be smothered in her unnatural posture, and when she was partly restored to sense she, as he alleges, abused him in a most extravagant manner and flung bread and kitchen utensils at nim. This passion wore itself out after atime and she went to the liquor store again in company with her mother and returned late very drunk. Thompson put his children to bed first and performed the same office afterwards for. ts wife, she being unable to do anything for herself, He complains that tor the past year he has had to contend with the same evil in his household, and his life has been a most unhappy one. Previous to that period his wite was a woman of correct life, but her lapsing into the habit of drunkenness he attri- butes entirely to THE INFLUENCE OF HER MOTHER, He has for some time been endeavoring to bave his children removed to some place where they could be taken care of, as his wile has for montns past completely neglected them. To find out at what insuitution he could place them he called at the Twentieth precinct station house, and his ar- rangements were all made to convey them to the place recommended to him yesterday as being suitable. ‘Thompson is a tall, rather good looking man, of genteel address and quiet, steady habits. He wears a light beard and mustache, and has re- cently had employment in a feiting company, but is just now without a vocation. In explaining the course of his wretched existence he said he had frequently to prepare his own supper wiicn he got to his home, and then wash and put his children to bed. Though he acknowledges baving beaten his wife, he persists in declaring that he did not strike her hard enough to kill her, and thinks that the liquor she drank much more to do with her death than he had, The father of the dead woman tells a very differ- entstory. He described Thompson to the police last night as @ Man Of violent and imperious tem- per, at all times t1patient of contradiction, At the time of the quarrel the father was not in the house, but on entering some time afterwards he stumbled on something in the hallway. Turning into the front room of the basement in which the ‘Thompsons lived, he found the husband sitting be- fore the fire, NURSING THE BABY. He asked where Mrs. Thompson was, and the husband got up, still holding the baby, went to the door leading into tne hallway, and caited out, angrily, ‘‘Come tn here.’ No reply having been re- | turned to thts order, he took the lamp irom the | chimney and looked into the hall. There he saw Mrs. Thompson lying on the floor, He pulled ber into the room, and almost immediately discovered that she was dead. ne raised an alarm iz the house, and the policeman on oat, in the street rushed in and arrested him. Mr. Thompson’s mother was also arrested as & witness, but she was so drunk that but littie could be got trom her last night. She said, however, that Thompson kicked her daughter ; and this is most likely, for the corpse is | badly marked under the chin, near the right eye and under the left ear. These marks bear evidence of a boot, or some dull, heavy instrument, and it by no means improbable — that indications of such violence will be found im the brain of the victim when the Coroner examines the body. The woman certainly had a severe beating before life left her, and it re- mains to be seen whether she was not most bru- tally murdered, She was a tall, handsome woman, with a projusion of black hair, and looked liked anything but an habitual drunkard. The front basement occupied by the family con- sisted of three rooms. The front room was used as | akitchen and sitting-room, and the others as bed- roems. While the body of the mother lay in one of the back apartments last night, the three oldest children sg peacefully on an old rug spread before the fire m the front room by the Kindly officer on duty at the place. Huddied together as closely as the could lie, the three children were stretched out, wrapt in sleep, one arm of the Roe, lying caressingly about @ pet kitten. he appearance of the place was one of scantiness, though not poverty, and the beauty and heaith of the children made a striking contrast with otuer | contents of the place. Death in his most HORRIBLE AND GHASTLY SHAPE close at hand, frowned upon life in its rnddiest glow. The close connection of this life and death made the dreadiul reatity still more terrible, wnile the natural protector of both was snut behind iron | | Pore bars from the little ones he proiessed to love so much, charged with the destruction of a life as dear to them as his own. The youngest child, hardly eight or nine months old, had been taken away by some charitable neighbor, and the only | person, besides the other children, about tho house | last night, was the officer in charge. The Coroner has been notified to hold an inquest in the case, | and he wil probably open it to-morrow, ANOTHER HELL AFLOAT, Arrival of the Ship Topgalilant of New York at San Francisco with Scurvy— Brutality and Arrest of the Officers— Counter Charges—A Consumptive Man Beaten and Dice at Sea. The San Francisco Chronicle of the 14th an- nounces the arrival there of the ship Topgallant, on the 13th, from New York, May 16, and the arrest of Edward Larkin, second mate, on com- plaint of Captain George M. Phillips. The Chronicle reporter interviewed the parties with the follow- ing results:— WHAT THE ACCUSED SAYS OF THE CHARGE. He was arresied on a charge of beating and maiming | R. P. Corbert, a seaman on board the vessel. Corbert subsequently died during the voyage. He says that Cor- bert, who shipped under the name of Ryan, or was com- monly known by that name on hoard thé vessel, was suffering from consumption when he came on board. He had just come oif a long voyage trom the distant port of | Calcutta, and was sulfering with chills and iever con- | tracted in the Indies, On the 26th or 27th 01 When the vessel had been about ten days out of port, and while off the West Indies, he pushed Corbert off the plai- form on which the cable was coiled. He says that he did Not strike the man. He merely put the palm of his hand ‘ainst Corbert's ear and pushed him off the piattorm, Heit not bruise the man or wound him in the least did not knock him down or against anything that could have hurt him. A week or two alter that the man be- ¢ So sick as to be unfit for duty. Me took to his bed, and about sixteen days afterwards died. Larkin admits that he once te a man calied “Dutchy,” but did not hurt him much. He says these are the only times upon which he ever used violence against any man on board, He did not injure either of the men, and they remained | his friends to the end. Corbert beiore his death gave him the address of his (Corvert’s) mother, m Holland, with a request to write to her the particulars o: his 6 Was made through mat- . He had a quarrel with the first mate before leaving New York. The ivstmate and steward combined to prejudice the Captain agat him, and succeeded. The Captain quarrelled wich hi as he says, bec be would not overwork the men pearly hair of whom were sick, and fiuallv, on the piea that he was incompetent, disrated him and sent him into yhe forecastie, where he was kept during the remainder ot the vovage and made to do the dirtiest and meanest COUNTER CHARGES AGAINST THE CAPTAIN AND MATE. He charges that the Captain and first mate were guilty of beating and otherwise abusing men; that about three weeks after basa New York he heard some words among the men in the forecastle about a Kniie belonging to Wm. Smith, one ot the seamen, and a moment r- c erge from the forec: dragging out Smith, whom he had ciutched fercely by the throat with one hand and by the hair with the other. He shook the man roughly, exclaiming angrily, “G— you, [would like to have the pleasure of licking four. teen of you betore breakiast.” He choked the man until the poor fellow’s face was suffused with blood, and it was two or three minutes before he could catch his speech again. He did not strike the man. Avont a month aiter this he heard a noise at the wheel and saw the man Smith getting up. The Captain had. just knocked him dawn because he could not work the wheel Just to suit him. ‘The man’s lip was cut and his mouth ‘was bleeding freely, He staid at the wheel abo twenty minutes longer and then was relieved, when he came torward and told hig companions whar the Oaptain, had done. He suid the Captain had beer “onto him” again and “licked” him. | Larkin aie charges the first mate with beating and maltreating the men.

THE NCRORN OF TUR CAPTAIN'S STORY. ile led the way into the cabin, and then began a ram- ng raed with frequent stions on necessary amendments to our naval Jvs and customs, the necessity of bowing to the author- ites that id many other matters foreign to the question, but always ending with the empl assurance, with copious brimstone — invectives, that ie. ae werkia =e ne ii ‘Ma oo ea tee consummate damned villian.” He complal Larkin had’ been a constant source of trouble to him during the voyaye by stirring up the men against Mise and that he had been compelied to watch them closely to prevent an outbreak, and had slept with his ctothes on, ready to start ou B amoment’s notice, The mam was wholly incomps ‘, and had used every means im his power to prejudice the mon against him, | The re- sult was that he could not get the men to work, and was oiten compelled to spend @ great portion of the night at the wheel himself during Larcin’s watch. One day Larkin struck the sick man at the wheel, and when the poor fellow complained to him he reprimanded Larkin and told him never to strike another man on board the stip or he would be turned out ot his place. A iew days atterward he struck a sailor called Dutchy, and whea reprimanded by the Captain became saucy ind was rated and keptin the forecastle, The Captain said he had fifteen months’ provisions on board, and had tod the men liberally on white bread, gingerbread, cotlee, wa, corn bread and many other articies, in excess of the al” Jowance, The tact ofthe men being sick with scurvy the Captain expiained by saying that they had just come of a nine months’ voyage when they shipped with him, and had been very filthy during that voyage. He admitted. that he had “pushed” soveral men away from the wheel, and said that ir he had been mate he would have wiped the deck with the whote crew, He never struck the mem and never saw the first mate do it. WHAT THR SAILORS SAY. The sailors tell_ a somewhat different story. They con- tradict the Jast statement df the Captain, several of thems saying they had not been to sea tor months before this voyage, and had only been induced to come on this by coaxing and promises of fine tare. Seven of them have had the scurvy very badly and are swollen, bloated, hideous looking beings. William smith, one of latter, stated that ou the 29th of September, while at the wheel, about four o'clock in the morning, the mat James Smith, struck him because he could not see wel to steer, beang what the sailors call ‘moon bind.” He was knocked down, and the mate kicked him in the jaw. and on the ribs and breast, knocking him down ladder to the deck and following him up with kicki all the way. He was badly braised, and said he still te the etiects of his brutal treatment In his breast. He wae struck by the mate on several different occa-ions witty his clenched fist, but he dia not mind that much. The Captain also struck lnm several times, and on one ocea- stoo threw him on the tioor and choked him severely. Several ot the sailors witnessed the assault by the mate. ‘A BOY'S TALE, Louis R. Assalena, a boy about eighteen years of age, stated that oue dav the first mate ordered him to bring = le, und when he brought it attacked him tor bringing rong one, knocked him down and struck him on the ead with a “leaver,” a round piece of wood about two long. ‘The men say they got no coffee, although the tain promised tt to them before they started. Durim the voyage thev got pea soup twice, bean soup twice an iresh meat twice, as one of them was stating, whem another interrupted him with, “Yes, we had the bones from i> Captain’s table!” ‘The beet given them was not soaked, as it should have been. Some of them had saved up pieces of it, and the reporter tound i with sait and totally unfit for tood. some of the men are yery sick. There is no doubt that the men have been id one whem beaten, although, the ease is perhaps a compared with the atrocities practised on board the Sun- rise, and itis probable that the first and second mates aud the Captain are equally culpabie. {From the Alta California, Oct. 15.} George M. Phillips, captain, and William J. Smith, first mate of the ship Topgullant, were arrested yesterday on the complaint of twoseamen, who charge that they were beaten and wounded by them. They were released on bail, Canteen Phillips on $2,000, with H. 8. Williams and John J. Marks as sureties, and the maie, Smith, om $2,000, with the same parties as bondsmen.
