YER WINSLOW CORRESPONDENCE TO BE SUBMITTED TO PARLIAMENT, In the House of Commons this afternoon Mr. Cross, Beeretary of State for the Home Department, replying to Sir Willam Vernon Harcourt’s question as to whether the House would have an opportunity to con- sider the correspondence on the Winslow case between Great Britain and the United States, before Winslow's final release, saia that on the application of the govern- ment Winslow bad been again remanded until the 3ist inst. Nogotiations wore still pending, and it was un- usual to communicato state papers until the corre- epondence had been concluded, but under the special circumstances of this case the papers up to the present date would be submitted to the House, PRESS OPINION OF THE ANGLO-AMERICAN COMPLICATION, The Standard of to-day, in a leading editorial on the questions at issue between the British and American governments, arising oat of the Winslow case, says:— “On two ports it ecoms perfectly certain that Mr, Fish is in the right, while on the third, the construction of the act of Parliament of 1870, his view is that which to mere unprofessional common sense the words in question appear to bear out,” The Standard takes the same view reg:rding the government's true course as does the Pall Mall Gazette, that is, that the question whether the Ashburton Treaty is excepted from the operation of the act of 1870 should be referred to the courts.

THE BIG HORN EXPEDITION CONCENTRATING— STRENGTH OF THE GOVERNMENT FORCES AND OF THE INDIANS—DRTAIL8 OF THE COM- MAND—POSITION AND MOVEMENTS OF THE HOSTILE BANDS. Fort Laname, Wy T., May 23, 1876.39 Colonel Royal’s dotachment of troops from Fort Russell, to engage in the Big Horn expedition copcen- trating at Fort Fetterman, arrived here to-day. The ; infantry, consisting of threo companies of the Ninth regiment, under Captains Mun- eon, Burt and Burrows, marched hence yester- day, Two companies of the Fourth, under Captains Coates and Lubn, now at Fort Fetterman, awaiting the force of cavalry from Medicine Bow, is expected to arrive there on the same day as this col- umn. : THE WHOLE BODY of regulars will comprise fifteen companies of the Sec- ond and the Third regiments of cavalry and five of the Ninth and Fourth infantry. General Crook will em- ploy 100 Crow scouts, Louis Richards will be his in- terpreter,. Frank Gerard, Sandwich Islander, who was captured by Crazy Horse, and lived with him for years, will serve as guide. THK STAFY OF THE GENERAL will consist of the following officers:—Captain A, H. Nickerson and Lieutenart J. G. Bourke, aides-de-enmp; Captain John V. Friery, quartermaster; Captain George M. Randall, chief of scouts; Dr. Alvert Hartufl, chief surgeon; Captain William 8, Stanton, chief engineer; Colouel W. B. Royal, executive commandant. Should j this expedition move in two columns Colonel Royal will lead the larger and Major A. W. Evans the smalier, ‘THE SUPPLIES. E Thoro are 300,000 pounds of stores in wagon train ‘and 64,000 loaded upon pack mules, ot which thero aro 826. Tom Moore, of Arizona fame, is chief packer ana Charles Russel, chief of transportation. ‘The whole strength of tho force will be about 1,200 men. ‘THE ENEMY’S POSITION. Indians stato that the hostile bands are encamped the Blue Stor River, Montana, 300 miles from Fort Fetterman, There aro about 900 lodges, counting 12,000 warriors. It is beloved they will leave their villages standing and move into the Big Horn Mountains in search of game. ‘Three thousand bucks have lett the Cheyenne Agency on the Missouri to join Crazy Horse. Louis Richard: reports that of forty-two lodges that went on the wa ath from Red Cloud Agency seventeen returned last ednesday, and appeared frightened. They said they mished with Captain Egan’s column, on Old Fork. Twenty-five lodges went northward after the encounter. The old men at the agencies will be passive, but the young men cannot be restrained | from joming in the war. THE ARAPANORS AND BRULES aro still well disposed. The iront.er along the Pacific Railroad needs protection. Indians have been seen | in small parties near Chug Water, where James Hunter | was killed. A movement of troops northward, it is | feared, will induce depredations m their rear, It is unofficially reported that the Fifth Cavalry is ordered from he Department of Missouri Yo aiford greater security.

All correspond- ence in that particular was referred to the Secretary of the Interior, who will give instructions to the agents of the Interior Department regarding PROPER NEGOTIATIONS in that direction.

Four of the Mutineer Murderers Exe- cuted at Newgate. Names and Ages of the Criminals. HISTORY OF THE CRIMES. Loxpox, May 23, 1876, ‘The four Greek sailors of the crew of the Bntish ship Lennie, who mutinied and murdered the captain, mate and second officer of that vessel, and who were found guilty in the Central Criminal Court on the Sth inet., were execatea at Newgate at eight o'clock this morning, i AMES AND AGES OF THE CORTIOTA, Ther names were:— Matteo Cargalis, aged thirty-six years, Giovanni Cacaris; aged twenty-one years, Pascalis Caludis, aged thirty-three years, George Kaida, aged twenty-two years, HISTORY OF THE TERRIBLE CRIMES—SAILING FROM PORT—SUBSEQUENT SCENES OF BLOOD- SHED—PERSONAL FIRMNESS IN TIME OF DANGER— WONDERFUL PRESERVATION—AR- REST AND CONVICTION OF THE MURDERERS. About six months ago the ship Lennjo, of Yarmouth, N. 8., of 950 tons, lay at Antwerp, in ballast, and want. ing acrew. Her captain was Stanley Hat@eld, a Cana- dian, the first mate was Joseph Wortley, an Irishman, ‘and the second mate Richard McDonald, an English- map, At Antwerpa man named Constant von Hoy- donck was engaged as stoward, with bis assistant, a lad named Trousselot. TOR CREW. A scratch crew was collected in London, the mem- bers of which (with one exception) were foreigners of four different nationalities—Greck, Turkish, Italian and Austrian. OUT FOR AMERICA, Manned by this miscellaneous crew the Lennie sailed trom Antwerp on the 23d of October, bound for New Orleans. All wout well until the 3lst of Octobor, ‘with the exception, indeed, of a marked tendency to ILL-PEKLING AND BAD BL00D ‘on the part of the crew against the oflicers. Early on the morning of that day, however, all hands being on deck, except the steward and his aasistant, the captain ordered the ship to be put about, The order was obeyea in a lubberly manner, which apparently excited the ire and contempt of the skipper, who, after the manner of his race, rated the crew in terms more forcible than elegant, calling them, among other thines, “No SAILORS, BUT A PACK OF SOLDIERS.” This was the spark which kindled the smouldering fire of mutiny. Pascales Caladis, alias “Big Harry,”” whipped out his knife and strack it into the captain’s stomach, The captain, who had left both his revolvers below, turned to flee from his assassin round the cabin house, but was stopped by Mattco Cargatis, alias “French Peter,” who stabbed him in the forehead, The unfortunate man was then finished by Big Harry. THE STEWAKD, who was below at the time, thus describes the com- mencement of the tragedy: —‘‘About four in the morn- ing of Octcber 211 was in my berth, when, hearing a noise on the poop, I said to Trousselot, who slept below me, ‘THERE 18 A ROW; turn out and see what timo it is.’ The boy went into the cabin, looked at the clock, and, returning, said, ‘Constant, it’s twenty minutes past four.’ I told him to go to the galley and make the coffee. He proceeded about six steps to go on deck when he found that the doors from the companion wero shut, and some one said thero was plenty of time between then and eight o’clock to make coffee. 1 jumped out of my berth and tried to get up stairs, when 1 found two men— Caladis; of “Big Harry,” and Leosis—at the top, on the poop, The former asked me what I wanted They were watching to sce that no one camo up. The captain, I believe, had ordered the men to i beard him say, ‘This is always the casc; you are no sailors, but a lot of sotdiers,’ There was arush on the deck, and I heard the captain halloo, as if bis throat was | cut.’? Witness imitated the sound—a kind of choking } OF gurgling noise, When the SECOND MATR tan to the assistance of the captain and endeavored to drag him into the cabin he, too, was assailed by “Bt; Harry,” who ranbis knife into him. The wound man ran to the boatswain, put his arms oa_ bis shoul- ders, and entreated him to save his hfe, The latter, however, pushed him off and “Big Harry” rao ng knife three times into his neck, thus accomplishing the second murder. All this took place on the poop. In the meantime the CHIRP MATR, who was forward, and who by this time saw the ex- treme peril in woich he stood, took to the rigging and | endeavored to gain a place of security on the foreyard. Giovanm Carcaris, or “Joe, the Cook,” was now or- dored by George Kaida, who went by the nickname of “Lips,’’ to go forward and fire at the frst mate, but did not obey the order, ‘Lips’? then took the revolver irom him, went to the rigging apd fired five times. Tb: chief mate slipped or lowered himself down to the deck, when ‘Joe, the Cook,” twice stabbed the unfor, tunate ollicer through the neck with hia knife. “French Peter” then stood upon him and nearly “hacked bis head off. The three officors being thus despatched, various portions of the heavy gear of tho ship were MADE FAST TO THEIR BODII which were thrown overboard, the murderors havi first taken off the boots of their victims and such u if clothing as were likely to prove of use. The stoward and bis assistant, on endeavoring to come on deck, were provented trom so doing by the door being fastened. “Big Harry” and “Lips,’” howevez, asked him what he wanted, when he replied th to go to the galloy and make the coflee. ero is plenty of time before eight o’ciock to mako the coffee; go down below.”’ He did #0, taking with him from the captain's room the two loaded re- volvers, which he placed in his pocket, in case ho should ‘be, as ho expected, attacked, The ‘crow camo down shortly afterward, and thé boatswain said :— “WELL, WE HAVE FINISITED Sow."’ “Oh! said the steward, feigning ignorance and in- | difference, *‘what have you finished ? “We have Onished the captain, mate and second, and now you are to navigate. We have made up our | minds to go to Greece, You take the ship to Gibraltar, and we will find Greece and take the boats, remove everything of valuc out of the stip and sell it on shore, and you will have your sbare.”” The steward replied that if he took chargo of thé ship he should oxpect them to obey his orders, The | steward accordingly undertook THE MANAGEMKST OF THR: sitiP, and tho assassins at once employed themselves in scraping her name off wherover it was painted aod in ‘washing out the evidences of their toul deeds, ROBURRY, They also ransacked the officers’ rooms, and “Big Harry” ap rated to his own use the murdered cap- tain’s coat, The next dav ono of the crew said to the steward that he did not think they were going to Greece but to some other part of the Channel. The steward, who acted throughout the entite ordeal with inary self-possession and courage, told his us questioner to mind bis own business; that charge of the ship and would not be ordered about, and if he did not keep quiet he would biow his brains‘out. The man Renken then went forward and told the rest of the crew that they were being deceived, and that ‘tho vessel was being taken up the English Channel." king ac came ina body to the steward, whose life ve hung, at this moment, on a thread, and “Big Harry,” the ringleader, on asking him what he was doing and where he was going, received jor answi Uhat he was to mind his own business and leave th steward alone, and the ship would be brought to Greece. “They appeared satisiied,”” said be, “and at hall-past cloven at night I altered the conrse of the ship forthe French coast, and on the 4th of November I took tho sbip into THR SLR DR RUK. “It was a very rough night and very misty, al Harry" came to foo wed asked me wher ad the Jand was all around thom, [told him | knew where was, get a fair wind, ond that we might as well 1 Test as to beat about aod make no headway. MESSAGES POR SHORF. During this night the steward and his you agsist- ant wrote twenty mosxages in French and Engiish, which they threw overboard in bottles. These mes- sages (the name, character and destination of the vessel being mentioned) were as follows :— “MaGistaatR—Will you send a number of police, a steamer. aod men, because, on the Bist, the sulors killed the captain and mat Keep tho police below if you come, as we may wave our lives * Many o1 these bottles were washed ashore on tho coast of France. On the 4th of Noveinber the steward took the sbip into the ’ HAY OF SARLE D/oLonME, stating to the crew that he intended to stop there all night and wait for a tar he morrow. the ip where they wished to ge be. would b ne were the others, The Lennie, three days on leaving the and, on the evening of the 6th, Cargalis cam poh gs the steward, saying :— “We want to see the land; what course have wo to steer to seo itt”? At this time the steward had been deprived of the command of the ship, and he, therefore, refused to an- swer the question. ig Hi ”? then said:— “Steward, you take care of the ship again; that fellow can’t navigaic. All hands followed “Big Harry”? into the cabin and the steward intimated that be would navigate the ves- sel again and take it sately to Greece if not interferec with, to which Big Harry replied:— ¥ first mon who interfores with the steward mn ing the ship I will CUT OFF MIS EARS,” Thus confirmed in his command the steward resumed the navigation of the ship, and, the weatber becoming very rouch, he suggested that the crow should goon shore, telling them that the country on which they would land was a republic and that there were NO POLICE there, The six Grecks, approying this, landed at even @lorme, For two days the ship lay off the consi ARRESTS, In the meantime some of the bottles containing the Messages had been picked up. A pilot boat came Seearete followed by the French man-of-war Travail- jeur, PROTECTION. The steward claimed, tor himself and the boy, tho protection of the French authorities, and narrated the story of the murders and mutiny, The remaining por- tion of the crew was then arrested and taken on shore. White this capture was being effected on board the sbip the mx men who had landed, and who had been representing themselves as destitute seamen belongin toa Greek ship which had foundered, wero arrested, several of the bottles having washed ashore and suspi- sion having now been aroused by communication trom the gunboat é HANDED OVER, The eleven mon, having been examined before the French authorities, were handed over to the English police, under the extradition treaty between wo countries, THE TRIAL. A two days’ tral resulied in tne abandonment of the main charge against seven of the prisoners, (several of whom were necessarily obliged to be discharged in order that they might give QUBEN’S RVIDENCR against the more prominent criminals, who could not have been convicted in the absence of such evidence), and in the sentencing to DRaTU of the tour ringleaders, French Peter, Big Harry, Lips and Joe, the cook, atthe Old Bailey 5 ons, London. They have now paid the earthiy penalty of their crimes, as reported in our cable telegram. EXPIATION. BURWELL NEWSOME HANGED AT WINDSOR, N. C., YESTERDAY. Boyxixs, Va, May 23, 1876, Windsor, the shiro town of Bertie county, North Car- Olina, about sixty miles by a rude country road through swamps and forests from this the nearest railway and telograph station, to-day witnessed the closing scene of another of those judicial tragedies which scem to be Ddeeoming almost an everyday occurrence, A multitude of people of all colors, the various hucs.of the Amer- ico-African blood predominating, thronged the quaint ola town. But few, however, of the expectant crowd werg admitted to the enclosure around the jail within which the gallows stood. Capital executions wore formtrly public, byt Battle's Revisal, tho latest codification of North Carolina statute laws, provides that the exccution of death sentences shall in all cases be strictly private, In addition to such a guard as may be required, two physicians and necessary assietanis, pot more thun thirty-six nor loss than’ eighteen r spectable citizens ‘*shall be summoned to witness for the State the due observance of the law.” The popular Sheriff of the county, Mr) F. W. Bell, was beset and bexged for tickets of admission to ‘tho ghastly spec- tacle, The importunity of those who desired to serve the State gratuitously as guards and witnesses was something marvellous. As It was, about fifty persons were adinitted to the jail yard. Many moro, however, climbed the neighboring trees for a bird's-eye view, while still others. pressed closely about the high fence of rough planks und peeped through its chinks, Housetops and upper windows were also sought by bee sightseers, ‘ne prisoner, Burwell Newsome, was led out from the jail at ten minuates after cleven A. M. He was ac- companied by a gnard of thirty white men armed with shotguns to the galiows at the northerly corner of the jail yard. Four physicians wore in fencance and eighieen other persons as witnesses. Newsome was barefooted, in his shirtsleeves, with his hands tied behind him, The gallows was very simply constructed. after a pattern devised by Sheriff Bell himself. The trap was double and arranged to fall by a alight puil upon a lever attached to an iron spring var, The prisoner ascended to the narrow scaffold by a small ladder, followed by Sheriff Bell, and commenced along, piteous prayer, which lapsed into wild, inco- herent raving He bewalled his evil courses and humbly Desought the Divine mercy. Ho wns tearfully fright ened and shook apasmodically, It was a spectacle of intense, horror-stricken, abject fear. Ho said nothing of the crime tor which he was to suffer. A colored clergyman, Rev, Brown Holly, fol- Jowed the condemned man in an earnest, fervent prayer, kuechng upon the scaflold. Sheri Bell then securely pintoned the prisoncr’s legs just above tho ankles, adjusted the rope about bis neck, drow down tho black cap over his features and bid Newsome good- by. Tat half-past eleven the trap fell. Muscular spasms were perceptible or four minutes. In seven minutes Mfe was pronoanced extinct. A plain cypress coffin, stained red, was then brougnt out, the corpse placed within it and delivered to his friends, The last previons capital execution at Windsor was of a white man named Farmer, twenty-two years ago, for an offence similar to Newsome’s. The unhappy man who thus suffered the extreme penalty of the law was copper colored, and about eightoen years of age. His crime, committed Decem- ber 24, 1875, was a brutal outrage upon Eilen Outland, | a “poor white’? woman, who worked with bim in the | fleld picking cotton. After its committal he fled into Hertford county, but was arrested the next day, and | when arraigned before a magistrate conlessed his guilt He was brought to trisl in tho Superior Court April 13, 1876, before His Honor Jadge William A. Moore, the Stato being represented by Joseph J. Martin, Solicitor for the Second Judicial district, and the prisoner ably de- | fended by Major Johu W. Moore and James L. Mitchell. ‘A majority of the jury were colored men. He | bad a fair and tall trial, and the, entire community co- jocided with tho verdict of guilty. To-day’s execution would 6 been a double one had | not an appeat to the Suprome Court been taken by tho counsel of Benjamin Smallwood (negro), convicted of the murder of Richard Ruffin, aleo colored, and scn- tenced to be hanged at tho samo time with Burwell Newsume. j SLAUGHTER OF NEGROES.

An auction gule of dry goods was held yesterday in one of the storerooms of Messrs, Wright, Bliss & Fabyan, of Nos. 71 and 73 Thomas street, which is a very significant event in the annals of the dry goods trade of New York, the like of which is not recorded, About two weeks ago the firm above mentioned sent all over the country circulars stating that a peremp- tory sale of domestic dry goods which thoy, as agents, then had on hand would be put up at auction at the rooms of Messrs. Townsend, Montant & Co., Nos, 79 and 81 Leonard street, This sale was -or-, dered by the directors and treasurers of many of the greatest mavufacturing com- panies in the country for the purpose of fiting a price for the goods to be offered, Fora long time past there bas been no little want of confidence among the dry goods merchants of New York on account of the instabillty of prices. This has caused a great ac- cumulation on tho hands of the azents ot the mills, and. many of the milts hayo been compelled to suspend work, . In response to the clroular firms from every part of the United Status sent thoir representatives to this great sale, and for several days past it has beeh tho chiet topic of discussion among the dry goods mer- chants. On Monday, however, it was discovered that the salesrooms of Messrs, Townsend, Montant & Co, would not bo suiliciently large to accummodate tho enormous number of buyers who had expressed a do- termination to be present at the auction, so the placo of sale was changed trom Leonard stroet to tho large storeroom of Messra. Wright, Bhss & Fabyan, oh tho third floor of their building, which runs from Thomas Duane street, The room was arranged for the sale, an auctionoer’s stand bi ing been built near tne middle, opposite to it being a raised desk for the clerks. who bada lively time of it all day, At eleven o'clock the room was filied, every dry goods house of any prominenco throughout the Union being represented, At the opens | ing of tho sale the Jarge ralosroom was unable to con- tain a majority of tho would be buyers who, even by dint of pushirg and squeezing, couid not succeed in gaining admission to the room, and a pumber con- tented themselves by awaiting on the stairway an opportunity to effect an entrance, The crowd also extended out into the street on the Thomas streot side, filling up the passageway arid making it diflicult tor trucks to pass. The attendance at this time could not *bave been much less than 7,500 persons. Probavly 10,000 persons visitea tho room during the day. ‘The proceedings were begun promptly by Mr. Wol- bert, auctioncer, of Messrs. Townsend, Montant & Co., who read the terms of sale and then introduced Mr. Bhas, of Wright, Bliss & Fabyan, who expressed nis | acknowlegments at finding go hearty a response to lis | invitation. He said that it was the belief of the ftrm that the timo had come fora untted effort on the part of merchants to put an end, if possible, to the pro- Jonged depression which bad existed in the market since the autumn of 1873, and that ‘bottom prices” should bo ascertained, with a view to inducing a revival | of business, To do their part in their line they would | offer the entire stock of the manufacturers named in the catalogue with the hope of iorming @ basis for | future operations. The quantity was really not so 4 great as it would at first sec to be, as it only equalled | in amount about the quantity sold by them by ordinary | sales in three weeks. H ‘The first line offered was a lot of Pepperell R. Brown, in lots of five baics, and was started at ix cents and knocked down at seven and a quarter cents, C. L. Luce and J, Greenleaf & Co, taking the first orders. The ext four or five lots sold at @ slight advance, which \ 1 increased the excitement, the goods bringing far prices, and the demand being eager that the auc- | tioneer was repeatedly bogs or to run up the bia in order to reduce the number of those who were anxious | to be served. T nimation continued during tho | entire sale, which minated at hait-past six o'clock | inthe evening. The uproar was so great at times as to compictely overwhelm the auctioneer, The utmost | ood fecling, howe' rovailed, The printed cata- | fogues which contal the description of the goods— — which, by tho way, gave out oarly in the day— | Noticed only about 9,000 cases of ge which were all that were intended to ve sold at the timo the cata- | logues were printed, which was during the Jatter part | of last week; but since that time the firm have re- ceived some 3,000 cases im addition, and the crowd evinced. such an anxiety to buy thatthe newly re- | ceived 3,000 cases wero put up also and went off as | rapidly as the fire. Many more could have been sold | had they been at hand. Palmer plaid chevtots sold at | 9%. per yard; Otis plaid, 10446. ; Bates basket, 10c. ; | do., another lot, 9c., kc. The average prices obtained for the goods sold was entirely satisfactory to the sellers, and they cousider the auction asa very successful affair. The lower grades brought the best prices, though all sold well, excepting a few undesirable odds and ends. In view of this sale few lines of cotton goods have been sold by the large | | Jobbing houses of this city;during the past fow days, ‘but the importance of this sale will bo at once con. ceived when it is stated that the prices realized yester- day show an average falling off of only avont ten per | cent from the last market quotations, It is estimated | that the aggregate amount brought for the 12,000 cases | sold was in the neiguborhood of ), 000. The loading merchants trom parts of the country effect of equalizing prices and placing the trade on | At the same time it would serve to clear | the market of a stagnating surplus by widely distribut- | ing the same, This would act also w tix prices firmiy | and to guide the manufacturers hereafter, so that they would be more careful against accumulating an excess, which necessarily overstocks tho market. Frequent and emphatic expressions wore made to the effect that | brighter trade prospects were inaugurated. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. THE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEE OF INVESTI- GATION IN SESSION YESTERDAY. The sub-committeo of the Congressional Committee | on the Department of Justice, was again in session at the Astor House yesterday. All the members of the committes were present, Olwer Fiske, Marshal for the Southern District of New York, was examined, Ho testified that the busi- | | ness of bis office is mainly with the ci y of New York, Dut that when occasion requires ita depaty is sent to auy part of the different counties comprising tho dis- trict; the ton deputies also act as bailiffs; they aro paid $2 a day for this service, and from his office they re- ceive three-fourths of tneit earnings and a share of the surplus receipts after the salary of the marshal, the | chief deputy and tho clerks aro paid, in all | not $1,000; the salary of the chief deputy is not to exceed $3,000a year and he has beon getting $2,500; in former times, when business was more ox- he eo $3, k 1, 1 receipts wi among the ton deputies did not give each $200; about half of the depaties are married m his eur { to the more pusitive nnd val en there 1s no recerd kept as to w! ey by day or by nighay.
