Armed with this powerful antidote to disease, every man is his own family physician. The first aospital surgeons its unparalleled and healing virtues. Foreign guvernmentssanction its use in their naval and military services, and mankind throughout the world repåses the utmost confidence in its curative properties Sore Throat, Diphtheria, Quinsey, Humps, and c.U Derangements of the Chest and Throat. If, on the appearance of any of these diseases, the Ointment be well rubbed, at least three times a day, upon the neck and upper part of the chest, so as to penetrate to the glands-the worst cases will yield in a comparatively short time, particularly if Holloway's Pills be taken in appropriate doses to purify the blood. Bad Legs, Bad Breasts, Ulcerous Sores, and Old Wounds. Manyth ousands of martyrs from the above complaints have found life almost insupportable; but if Holloway's Ointment he briskly and plentifully rubbed upon and around the parts affected, it will quickly penetrate to the source of tha evil; ease I may be safely guaranteed, and disease driven from the system. Nothing can be more simple or safer than the manner in which it is applied, nothing more sanitary than its action on the body, both locally and constitutionally. The Mother's Friend.—Skin Diseases however desperate may be radically cured. Scald heads, itch, blotches on the skin,scrofulous sores, king's eril, and such like affections, yield to the mighty power ef this fine Ointment, provided it be well rubbed around the affectes parts two or three times a day, and the Pills be taken according to the printvd directions. » ° Both the Ointment and Pills should be used in the following c01JlplaintJ ;— Bad Legs Corns (Soft) Scalds find Breasts Fistulas Sore Throats Burns Gout Skin Diseases BlIlJions Glandular Swellings Scurvy Chilblains Lumbago Sore Heads Chapped Hands Piles Tumours Contracted and Stiff Rheumatism Ulcers Joints Sore Nipples Wounds The Pills and Ointment are sold at Professor HOLLOWAY'S Establishment, 533, Oxford-street, London also by nearly every respectable Vendor of Medicine throughout the Civilised World, in Boxes and Pots, fit ]1d., 2s. yd., 4s.

These Medico-Electric Appliances, though used externally havs an internal action; and, owing !o the Physiologi- cal, Physical, and Chemical effects of the Electricity which they gentiyftndptrmanentfy impart to the s)."tt>m, they promote digestion, circulation, and nutri- tion, thereby assisting Nature in her efforts lorcstore the normal balance of health and vigour in a debilitated con-titution. Electricity, the prime actor in the process of life per- vaih s all living organism, and its identity with nerve force, is no conjecture, but a positive scientific fact, hnown to all versed in the teachings of Electro-physi- ology. Consequently, in Nervous Exhallstion, Local Debili'y, and various Functional Disorders, the result of electrical deficiency, the above Appliances are Nature's most congenial and reliable remedy, as is proved by the success of the past 30 years. Recent improvements also enable sufferers to benefit from the vast curative powers of these self-applicabie galvanic appliances in a warm, and dry state. MR PULYERMACHKK would call attention to the following among the many eminent, scientific, and other Testi- monials tc the value of his inventions, signed by the elite ot the medical profession, as a recognition of these great improvements..

r-BAILORS AND LAND SHARKS.
r- BAILORS AND LAND SHARKS. At the Middlesex Sessions, Edward Corbett, 38, has been charged with stealing £ 11, a watch, and other articles, the property and moneys of Joseph Graham, from hw person and also for stealing £ 10, a coat and other articles, value Y.4 10s., the property and moneys of John Lyons, from his person.—Mr. Biron prosecuted on behalf of the Board of Trade Mr. Sims defended the prisoner.—It appeared from the evi- dence that the prosecutors had just leturned from no sea, and on Friday, the 4th instant, they were on their way to the Sailors' Home, hut called at a public- house in Wells-street, where they saw two girls t> 9°u^ei'sa^'on with the prisoner and another man. Both Graham and L3'oiis were offered something to drii.k, which offer was accepted they had no sooner taken it than they became unconscious, and remem- bered nothing more until the next morning when they found themselves in bed and ulldrcsscd at the Sailors' Home, but minus their money and other pro- perty. On the same day they met the prisoner who with great effrontery, said to them, "You have been' skinned; come and have a drink." This oiler they accepted, and in the course of conversation lie asked them if they would be content if part of their money was returned to them. Graham said he would be con- tent with t.5 and his watch. The prisoner said that the parties who had the money were becoming rather timid and begged the prosecutor not to mention his name to the detectives. On seeing him in the evening he said, Don't ask me for any information about it," and he was then given into custody.—Mr. Sims, for the defence, contended that the prisoner was not ac- quainted with the girls before, but having heard of the robbery he had merely promised to make an effort to return part of the stolen property.—The assistant judge said this was a most extraordinary case, for ac- cording to the evidence, as it was presented to them, here were two men drugged and hocussed in a public house in the open day, and afterwards they were sent to the Sailors' Home, undressed and pir to bed, and yet not a single witness had been called to speak to any of their transactions. Trhich, to say the least of it. was very singular, and if the jury had any doubt of the case they ought to give the prisoner the benefit of it.—The' jury took this view, and returned a verdiefc of Not Guilty.
-. CURIOUS MONEY LENDING CASE.
CURIOUS MONEY LENDING CASE. The suit of Grill v. Dillon, which has occupied the attention of Vice-Chancellor Hall, sitting in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice. for upwards of seven days, is of a somewhat exceptional character. The plaintiff is a young Devonshire fanner, who, on the coming of age of a younger brother, was entitled to freehold estate and farming stock worth about £ S.()00. The young man carried on his farm for some time, but making stupid bargains and entering ma I into ill-considered speculations, lie was under the necessity of raising money on his estate. The sum of £ '"2,0(10 was raised for him by his solicitor, and on this being exhausted the young man commenced bor- rowing money on his own account. In the month of June, 1*7-1. he was introduced by a cattle dealer to the defendant Dillon, who carried on the business of an outfitter, &c., in Market Alley, Plymouth, and also lent money on interest. Griii applied for a loan of JCloO, and Dillon agreed to lend" on a bill of exchange. Of this sum the plaintiff séwl he only received ttO in cash, but ho boug.it a diamond ring and various other articles of jeweTery of the defendant Dillon, promising to pay him the balance in cash, but this was never paid. Shortly afterwards the plaintiff applied for a further loan of £ '200, and received a small sum in cash for a hill of exchange for 9 170. More jewel- lery was bought. A Air. Smith, a pawnbroker, now enters on the scene as the friend of Dillon, and the upshot of the dealings was that, in the cmrse of two months, Smith had in his possession bills of goods amounting to £ ')17. Terms having been arranged be- tween Smith and Dillon, the latter, at Grill's request took over these bill s, Grill signing a bill of sale for £(;00. This biT of sale was never executed, and £ 100 being paid off, a mortgage on the plaintiff's estate for £ 500 wa4, duly executed. The plaintiff (now a. bankrupt) sought to set aside this mortgage, on the ground that valuable consideration had not been given, and prayed that an account be taken under the direction of the Court of the moneys ac- tually advanced.—The defendant denied the allegations of fraud which had been made against him. and sought to prove that valuable consideration had been given for the £ 500 in question.—Witnesses were fully cross-examined in court by both sides; and his Lordship delivered judgment at great length. After going minutely through the evidence, his Lordship came to the conclusion that the plaintiff's case was false from beginning to end, and his witnesses were not to be be- lieved and he diamisaed the bill, with costs.

WHERE SHALL WE DINE IN LONDON?…
WHERE SHALL WE DINE IN LONDON? -+- This is ttne of the great questions which d tily vex the sou! of man. It is not less in importance th ui such qu'ries as refer to the price of consols, the sliUii of 'he bank rate, the insolvency of Turkev, or the pi osp'cts ot i lie Liberal jmrty. Tlie.se' la-t- nametl m itters uffect some oniy. 1 lit* dinner tjuos- tion tiffects all. and that with unfailing regularity. 'Ihe '• inner man ptoclaims its wants, and follow- ingupun that proclauiatii n tlierti occurs to every mortal git ted with a good digestion the mom ntous question which heads these lines. We piopose to try and answer it. •' Dinner lubricates hu-ine-s," somebody IIHS written. Of course, that, somebody means a good dinner. A 0a0 one is more likely to clog than to oil the wheels of life, tmo is lather .pt lo impede than to make easy tke progress of human affairs. 1'h"II, ugain, a g<io.! dÍJII'l'ris. in nrlll' C;¡S. s out ot t n, the precursor oi a good temper. The poet tells us that rogues have hung that jurymen might riine." A puuster would hlllt that these said jurymen were hunyry j but, joking apart, we may venture (he remark that, had the rogues in question (•>eer. tried by twelve good men and true, whose appetites had been amply satisfied, they would have stood a ten thou-saud tunes better chance of saving their n. cks. The importanceofdiring being then admitted, let us now approach the question with which we set out—where shall we dine ? London swarms with individuals who think they have a special call to cater for [he appetites of tllelr fellow- man. Onetrial. however, only serves to prove what arraut impostors they are. Mr. WhalU-y a" Prune Minister, the leonine member for Stoke on the Judicial Bench, Arthur Orton in the garb of a gentleman, or Mr. bpurgeon at the Argyll Rooms, would not be more out of place than are a host of these so-called caterers at the head "of hotels and restaurants. Who has not tried them, and, having tried them, who has not come away disgt^fted ? Mark Twain has told us of a captain who, after ap- portioning a ham bone among his starting passen- gers, cm. the canvas cover that had been around the said ham into fifteen pieces and divided them equally; how they scraped the shell of a solitary turtle, and ate it to the lasl shaving- how the third mate 01 the vessel chewed his boots and how one of the men, also dining on boots which were full of holes, smiled, and said he didn't know but what the holes tasted about as good as the balance of the boots that was left. Such meagre and unsatisfac- tory feasts as these are quite on a par with those otiered us by the majority of men wRo profess to teed us when away from home, but stop short at the profession. We have said that we propose to solve the problem—Where to dme ? Without further hesitation we do so—very emphatically at the Criterion table d'hote. Messrs. Spiers and Bond long since upset the miserable practice in v gue for years at our railway stations, by which tbe-iouts of hungry and thirsty travellers were vexed. Tiiey have now takenastepfurtberin advance, and daily offer for the moderate SlIli ot three and sixpence a dinner which would satisfy Kpicurus huneelt w re he in the flesh, aud winch would deiight the palates, not only of those who eat to live, but of those who live to eat. With the palace whicn they have erected in Piccadilly every Oudy must, be well acquainted. Its outside propor- tions are as imposing as its intei ior arran»vii»,.nts are magnificent. But a splendid house with meagre banquet is very much l,ke a go.geous f.ame with a worthless picture. We find no such draw- back here. Passing up the handsome staircase we are ushered into a rootn of noble proportions The eye is at once gratified by the sight of ferns an.) flowers; sideboards laden with massive plate III the most artistic designs tables covered with cloth ot spotless whiteness, saying very eloquently 51' down and eat." We accept the invitation. A courteous waiter is at our elbow, and wearepi-f sented with a bill of fare which puzzles us by the superabundance of delicacies with which it tempt,. our appetites. Here it is on the day of our visit —mulligatawny and macaroni .secondly fish—' codfish au yratin, and eels en mat?lote thirdly, entrees civet of hare and mushrooms, mutton cutlets, haricot flagolets fourthly, juiuts an. puultry-buded turkey and celery sauce, roast beef. roust lillet of veal and ham fiiihly, Cntrements mince pies, diplomatic pudding, and lemon jejiies sixthly, cheese—Cheddar and siilton seventhly' ice-vallllb eighthly, dessert — grapes, apples, pear", filberts, orallges, almonds, ami r»isins A.' sniththe showman, yer pays yer money au'i y. takes yer choice."

We are not worried for attend- ance fees, and we come away feeling somewhat heavier in body but much lighter in spirits, au., conscious os the fact that for once in our lives we have enjoyed the luxury of a good dinner.— The Eta.
DEIFICATION. ...
DEIFICATION. Some weeks ago we spoke of a Canarese poem in honour of the Prince of Wales. In th.t piece the Prince was lauded as a veritable divinity, present to the sight of the inhabitants of the land of .he Ava- il's. We have now to draw attention to two poems: the first is in Sanskrit, and it is by Tara Cllilnù Shastri, Datagunge, Budaoti, Meerut, N. \V,P the second is by All Hyder, Garden Reach, Calcutta: it is 11 Persian. ilie proprietor of the Crown Per- fumery Company, Who offered prizes for poems on the r'rince s visit, nas kindly towarded them to us. The following is a art of the Satlskirl poem, translated by a competent oriental scholar ODE In honour of His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. 1. Mayst thou be blessed with conquest over all, since thy justice leads the world into the right vath, -0 thou who art without partiality and human sensibility. 2. The sun rises in the East. Now the sun has risen in the West, and travels eastward. Thou art tue sun. 3. The sun wakes the world. Tho lotus-flowers blossom. Thou, the Western sun, wakest us as effectually. We therefore have no need of the natural Sun 4. Thou, 0 Prince, canst cause the tides to rise, and the cactus-flowers to blossom ;—therefore of what more use is the Moon to us P 5. Since the Prince gives light to our eyes in dark- ness, we do not kaow why the phosphorescence of Camphor is created by God. 6. The darkness of ignorance has been dispelled by the Star ot the Prince. The stars are therefore of no consequence. 8. Perceiving that the Prince was eminently versed m the law of nature, the Creator has gone to sleep, giving Him the charge of the world flcre follow a untun.r of stanz-.s describing how H. t'rince of Wales is superior to India, the god oi tieaven, and other gods :— H, It is the Prince that makes the deserts full of water, that levels mountains, that makes the deaf and dumb to speak, and gives the poor ineffable wealth! 15. It is he who shuts Hell, opens Heaven, and makes the wicked virtuous. —and so 011 through twenty seven stanzas. The loilowmg arc a few stanzas from the Persian ude tu the Prince — 10. India is turned into a garden. She is visited by by the flower of England, the glorious Prince Aloert. He has the firmament for his throne, and the sun for his torch 11. Tne Prince of Wales is the asylum of the world, the Lord of lime, has the stars tor his army and the sky for his tent. He is the king of kings. lie is truly Alexander the Croat. Heaven is nis mirror. 12. He has long eyelashes and curls, with scimitar- snaped body and eyebrows possesses the talons auu wings of an Eagle, and is awe-inspiring like a Lion. ly. He is a Lord living in the Palace of the sky, which is a bower, the blossoms in which are his extreme politeness aud affability. He is a gracious cloud, a stream lrom which the water of life is drunk. 14. Should ho frown, the clouds would rain tire; should he smile, even the hard horn branches of the swift-footed Antelope would blossom and bud Were tollow two stanzas 111 which the Prince 01 vVates is described as satisfactorily answering the question, Can the Ethiopian change his skin ? and as scattering fragrance as lie goes :— 17. When his anger blazes up, the lightning is ucmiied and e&xmguidhed. Should he issue his divine ordeis, instead ot tiie grindstone grinding the mustard-soed, the miraculous opposite would be the result. 18. Were he to exercise his powers of reasoning, Aristotle himself would be bewildered ° 19. His presence renders the sun-clad heaven dark in comparison with the reception-rooms enlightened by his radiant presence. ° 21-28. THe smiling moon cannot compare with his forehead.His visage is like the dawn.His heralds are justice, politeness, and good tidings of success and prosperity. His elephants are as huge as rocky Sinai, and pass by more swiftly than the ove, very sweet, but shorter still, of the meeting of parted lovers. He is the brightest day all else is darkest night. Here comes a ftaiiza which we fear the acutest logician would find it difficult to understand 29. Clouds pass swiftly the moon. If his intellect had not harrowed them they would have flctl more swift, as if the predicate Major had passed to the sub- ject Minor—there being no consequence of the first hgute. 31. Now that the Prince has come, no flower com- plains of the flower-gatherer the bird is not afraid of the fowler's net and the candle is in love with its snuffers. ;so un through fifty-one stanzas. There can be little doubt that if specimens of the Hindu ■ poetry, published during the Prince's tour, were to be collected, some would turn out unique, for the examples quoted in these columns have not always been simply absurd—a few have been re'iby poetical. We understand that it is the inteution 01 the proprietor of the Crown Perfumery Company to publish shortly a voiume containing the successful piize poems, together with the more remarkable ot the other poems received.— Athenaeum.
- THE "SIN-EATEIi" IN WALES.
THE "SIN-EATEIi" IN WALES. The Rev. Professor Silvan Evaus,'I3.D., of Llany- mawddwy. has contributed another letter to tin Academy in disproof of the absurd statements which have been forthcoming respecting the alle-eo functions of the imaginary cSin-Eater b THE "SIN-EATER." Llanymawddwy, Fob. 12, 1876. The question between the writer in Blackwood a.nd myself is a simple one, and I regret to find that in his letter in the Academy of to-day he mixes up with it a good deal of irrelevant matter, leaving the point at issue just where it was. He stated in his article that the custom of the sin-eater prevails in north and south Wales at the present day when I challenged that statement aud asked for proof, we were told that by the present day he means some thirty years a.e'o and when pressed for the locality he goes under the aegis of Mr. Moggridge to Llandebie "in the hill country of Carmarthenshire." When persons appeal to certain tribunals, they should not complain if thev are sent to appear before the tribunals of their choice Llandebie was named, and Llandebie was accepted • enquiries were made on the spot by competent per- sons and those who will take the trouble to road my last letter will see with what success. The Sin-Eater is as little known there as probably he is in Nova zembla Now the writer shifts his ground and moves under the enhghteiimg guidance ot Murray's Hond'- bookjor 1'ravetters in South Wales, to Cwm Amman, about seven miles from Llandebie. The compiler of that volume whether ever connected with Mon- mouthshire Iron Works" or not, states nothino- about the Sin-Eater from personal knowledge of anv Mant!'i ?)0tT, almoSt tho identical words of T VU v-- Wlth a sll"ht variation as to the locality. Lady Veruey, m the February number of the Contemporary Review, simply relates the same stoiy °^°r again, without any corroboration of her own. A false story does not become truth by repeti- tion, and these repetitions add nothing to our know- ledge, and therefore it is simply waste of space to retail them. TIM) writer complains that I did not turn over a certain leaf in Archaeologia Cambreasis, where he in timates that Mr. Moggridge told the archaeologists at Ludlow that the practice of sin-eating was carried on at Llandebie until f ee yectl's of thuJ time (1852) The leaf had been turned over and read before I wrote my last letter I turn it over again, and on it road the last utterances of Mr. Moggridge as follows .— Mr. Moggridge said-Far bo it from him to desire that anything he should advance should not be com- bated, for all he wished to get at was truth He thought that the gist of what fell from Mr. Allen was that there was no immediate connexion between the custom of Sin-Eater and the plate and the salt Starting from the Carmarthenshire valley he found the most horrible portion of the custom dropped and the rest still retained; and as he advanced'still further he found that less remained. Mr. Aubrey from whom he quoted, and who was a man of hi-fi character, said that the custom had existed both in Herefordshire and Shropshire. Mr. Aubrey told them he went to a cottage in Herefordshire, where he saw a man whom he described as the Sin-Eater j and he (Mr. Moggridge) found, in the very district where Mr. Aubrey had seen it in its most horrid perfection that the more odious part of the custom had been removed, butportions thereof still remained. He thought that the plate and salt were of eastern origin. There was only one thing more that he need trouble them with, and that was whether the custom was extinct. He believed that people were thoroughly ashamed of the practice one case, ho was informed occurred four or five years ago, but he believed it was extinct now." These are Mr. Moggridge's last words at Ludlow, and I fail to find a syllable in them referring to Llan- debto and if ho rotors to any place, it must be, as I ixndcisuand him, to some part of Herefordshire, with which the writer appears to me more acquainted than I can pretend to be, and to which, as I have already distinctly stated, my remarks do not np dy. Mr Moggridge, and apparently the writer of thearticle] assume all along that the plate and salt are necessarily remnants of the alleged sin-eating practice and finding these articles employed in certain ea SPS, they take it tor granted that the more odious part of the custom has been removed," which amounts to bcgg-ing the whoie question. Mr. Moggndge candidly admits that he never witnessed tho "horrid cllstom" at fjlandeoio or elsewhere, but informs us that it "was said to have prevailed he does not mention his authorities, nor does he so much as hint what mentis Ins informants had of knowing the truth or untruth of the story. lean assure Mr. Moggridge that I vicar d,«re«Pe<st ,to when I SIly°tl,at both the ] 'l1.1 tlle schoolmaster have enjoyed more rrr!Ik' 0.Pl>ortulllties than he is likely to have had of ascertaining the tacts of the case, on account of the. 1 connexion with the locality and th-ir knowledge of their vernacular. I value Mr. Moggridge's opinions as opinions but we are now in quest of facts and opinions, from whatever source they may emanate, must not be mistaken for them. The ques- tion at issue lies within the domain of fact, and, therefore, capable of proof if tho charge has any foundation on a more solid substance than imagina- tion an compact." Itis very kind, but slightly superfluous, on the part of the writer to "refresh" my memory respecting the various sin-bearing of the Levitioal scapegoat." It is useless to argue about what may, could, or should have occurred, when we are concerned only with wha.t has actually taken place. It is needless to expatiate on the possibility of a custom, when its existence is denied. The writer might have spared his sneering remark about tho treason of calling Welshmen ignorant and "superstitions." Tho qualities denoted by these elegant stoek-cpithets,unfortunately, are not confined to the Principality of Wales; and one at least of these benighted barbarians holds that it is treason against truth to make charges that cannot be substantiated against any nation, however ignoraut or superstitious tliat nation may be. The writer seems to assume that it is a point of national honour," rather than any higher mobivo, that induces Welshmen to repudiate groundless imputations. When -u.ition.d honour and truth go together, national honour" is not to be contcmucd. The writer appears to feel rather uneasy on account ot his incognito. He need not. It is perfectly im- matciiai whether he retains it or doffs it bui, it shall not shield him from the consequences oi making statements ot questionable authenticity. He VOUdl- Bates to inform us that he is,"oy parentage, ancestry, property, and interests, connected with two counties ot toouth Wales but he does not tell us that his an- cestors ever furnished him with any information con- cerning the Sin-Eater, or that in his frequent visits to 0ur benighted country he ever encountered that dread functionary. Sucn being the case, I confess to being a little hazy as to the relevance ot long pedi- grees and broad acres in two or more counties, fine tilings as they are, to the subject we are now discuss- ini;. More to the point is the admission that, not- withstanding his frequen travels over most of the Principality, he has "failed to acquire its language," that language being the very key to its customs, legends, and folk-loro. His travels, therefore, ma c resemble those of a blind man in quest of tIll; beautiful. If the writer proves, as he states in Blackieood, th" t the superstition of the Sin-Eater is" still sur. viving in North and South Wales," I shall at oncc eOlHesS my error, and the "national honour" shall take its cfiance but if he fails to do this, he ought, ill justice to the country of his ancestry," to retract the groundless charge. He it. is that has brought the accusation against it, and on him lies the burden of proof. D. SILVAN EVANS.

THE LENNIE MUTINY. 4.
THE LENNIE MUTINY. 4. Whilst, the result of the investigation at Bo". street into the charges of wilful murder against the eleven seamen of the Lennie is pending, the narra- tive which here fallows will, of course, be read with a cautious reserve asentireiy an ex parte statement- :-)" ar as the facts herein alleged may. without unfair prejudice, be accepted as pmbable, they exemplify the force of Mr. Poland's remark on >0 ot I 01 t, e Crown, that when the circninstances of the tragedy are before the country it wil; be seen t 1J the conduct of the ship's steward and also that o a oy on board were such as would speak for themselves 1 he story, at all events, U thai which will be pur forward on the part of the prosecution. The Lennie sailed 11'010 Antwerp on October '22nd 1.1, and was bound for Nova Scotia. Thr crew consisted ol Captain Hatfield, Joseph Worthy, first mate, Hichard Macdon.dd, second mate-all of whom were muKb red the eleven men in custody and the other two survivors, Constant von Hoydonck, the M ward, and a boy named Henri Trousselot. The men ,n custody were a scratch crew got together in London, in the early part of October, and tuken to Antwerp tor the purpose of manning the vessel. When they were in the Bay of Biscay, and atter had been the days at sea, the crww manifested -Igns ot insubordination, which eventually, it is a-Stit.. bieke out in the most teriible mutiny. As parly as four o clock on the morning of October 31st ihe steward, who was sleeping in his berth, beard on die deck above a frightful commotion. Dressing himself as speedily as he could, he ran to get on deck, out found he was prevented by the hatchway, b. nig fastened down. As he stood listening to the nomble violence and uproar above, he heard terrible moans and gurgling sounds as of the captain's voice, as if he was speaking with his throat cut, and almost in the last throes of death. He was sayt g Oh, you are not sailors, you are slaughterers! you are slaughterers!" Directly after that he heard another rush, and footsteps of a man running awav, and from hat he could hear it seemed as though a rush was then bel"g made after the second mate who was probably trying to escape to the ringing' Immediately upon this he heard five shots fired, and men a heavy thud on the deck as though a man had been fetched down. After the murderous work had proceeded for about an hour and a fcalf, at half-past hve some of the accused came down to the steward. One of them, addressing him, said, "Well, we have finished now. The steward, affecting surprise, said, Oh I-what have you finished ?" I. The captain and the mates," replied the mutineer, and now can you take charge of the ship ?" The steward replied Yes where do you want to go ?" To Greece," replied the mutineer "You take us to Gibraltar, and we'll find Greece." The steward replied that it was all right he would take the ship .ate. When he got on deck he saw that it was covered with blood. and that five of the men were enga. ed in washing it off. Three others were over the stern engaged in cutting away the name of the noat. Some of the men then went down below and got the captain's clothes, whilst others went about and ransacked the ship, and another man took possession 01 the medicine-chest. In this dreadful -ituaiion, and dreading by the looks of the crew that they were uncertain as to whether they should trust him alive with their secret, he came to the conclusion that he had no alternative butapparentty to become their willing servant. He then asked them whether they had any further orders to give aid the reply was, ''No; work the ship to Gibraltar Atter endeavouring to deceive them by first making sail on that course, he next in the middle of the following night, steered for the liristol Channel. The next morning one of the men wvnt 10 the steward and said, .1 Why, you're not going to Gibraltar; you are making for the Bristol Channel The steward replied, You neVtr mind where I am going, you mind your own busi- ness. The mutineer then went forward, and calling the gang together,totd them that the steward 0\ as selling them. A consultation was he d among (hem, and they seemed uncertain whether they s iould butcher him too, or still trust him with the ship. they then came forward to him in a body, .nd said, .1 Look here, steward, you had nothing to do with the murder, so you are all right; but mind you don t try to sell us, at your peril." The steward replied. On, never mind what that man says. Don I you think I.would try to sell you." He then put out to sea, but as soon as the mutineers again were off their guard or asleep, he. early ou the fol- oWIng morning, ehmged the course again towards the coast of ranee. Some of the more desperate and suspicious ch dlei ged him again, and in ft menacing manner said, Why, steward, where are you going ? As ntght was now coming on, and the sea was very rough, he replied that he thought It would be best to stay where they were till it be- came a fair wind, and. on the men becoming a little more satisfied, he shortened sail, in the hope that some friendly ship would come in sight. Matters now reached a crisis, as one of the mutineers came torward and insisted on taking charge of the ship. After this man had had charge of her for two days, the crew generally became dissatisfied an 1 uncertain as to the course, and after another consultation they called on the stew ird again to take charge of the ship. and obey their orders, and they threatened to cut unthe ears of the first man who again attempted to interfere »11 h him The steward then replied that before he could take the ship in saleiy they must have confidence in him This being assented to, he got every man to go to his post. When work- ing order was now restored, the steward went to the Soy J'rousselot (he being the only one he thought he could trust), and said to him, Now, look here Henri, if we take these fellows to where they want to go, there is no knowing what they may do. When "they know where they are they will be very likely to murder us, and throw us over too. Let us try to save the si ip and our own lives as well. Now, can I trust you ?" Yes all right," replied the hoy. Well, then," said the steward, now, you go down into the cabin, and I will lock you in. Then you write twenty-four notes in French and English, staling mat the captain and officers on board the Lennie are all murdered, and that the crew hay. seized the ship, aud we two are waiting assistance. I hen while you are doing that I will go and get twenty-four empty bottles to put them in, and then will thruw them overboard and see what they'll s. rd us The boy did so, and when everything was all ready the steward again altered the course of the vessel towards the French coast, and on the 8dl of November they threw the bottles over. The weather became very rough, and the steward then said to the m, n that it would be no use for them to go to sea to lose their sails, and it they chose to go on shore he would put them near to land at a small place he knew where there was no police. The six Greeks, approving of this suggestion, took one of die slllp's boats and landed at Les Sables d'Olonne. the steward having by this strategy got rid of six of the mutineers, lay two days near Ibe coast. In the meantime, some of the bottles had been picked up, and within two days afterwarns a pilot-boat came alongside, followed by the Travailleur. a Drench man-of-war. The assistance hatl promptly been sent by the French Government,wbo, In the fv< st plaue/lemanded to know the reason of the Lenriie's name being oblilerated,and the reason of the ship being without her captain and m»tes. Von Hoydonck, the steward, and the boy Trousselot now came forward, and claiming the immediate protec- tion of the French authorities, told the whole story "f ihe murders and the mutiny. Tht: remaining five of the mutineers, who had remained on board, were IIOW charged with complicity in the murder,arrested and placed in irons, and taken on shore by the iravadleur. In the meantime the news of the dreadful occurrence was privately communicated to the I11 etieh gendarmes. While all this had been tfoing on on board the Lennie the six Greeks who ha landed at Sables d-Olonne had attracted the a/, ention of the French police there, they having with them their officers' clothes and other things they had seiz d, to sell. Eventually they applied to th- Commissioners of Marine, and represented t tie in selves as being destitute and belonging to the Cheek hrigautine St. Geoige, which had foundered win all hands hut themselves They were, however, ■i rested on suspicion ot being the men who were w intcd. All the eleven having undergone their preliminary examination before the French authori- ties. were handed over to .,he English police.
