than made bis And, with seven banners before him, mare ps Umea round the sepalobre, after which, having divested himself of cap and outer robes, entered the sspulokre, Fae excitomens of the Aes round the holes now increased to frensy , in the midet of great ulchre, and tho people gathered in two dense The shouting the fire was handed out, and the flames spresd from torch to torch amid & general roar of fanaticism.The Greeks and Armenians began to quarrel ; very soon there was a general melee, and the church resounded with the blows of sticks, crashing of lamps, and tearing of pictures.The Mahometan soldiers were called upon to intecfere, and in half-an-hour their bayonets succeeded in clearing the church, the pavement of which was left strewed with broken glass and oil from the lamps, A stick had pierced the fine picture of the Resurrection over the entrance to the tomb.\u2014 T¥mes\u2019 Correspondent.Tite Pitcairn Istixpens.\u2014At the last meeting of the Royal Geographical Bodiety, the president announced the removal of the Pitcairn Islanders to Norfolk Island.The Bishop of Oxford dwelt on the benefits likely to enane from the removal of these highly moral people to Norfolk Island.Bir Thomas Freemantle stated that he bad received information from his brother, Captain Freemantle, to the effect that he had proceeded to Pictairn\u2019s Island to propose that the Islanders should remove to Norfolk Island, and tbat having assembled the inhabitants, 180 in number, and read the proposals to thew ; they, after much deliberation, resolved to accept, with thanks, the offer of the British Government, being convinced that their own island was not large enough for them; but stipulated, huwever, that as they lived bappily without tbe access of strangers, tbey might have (Le exclusive possession of Norfolk island.Tus Lownox Suxpay Baxps.\u2014The withdrawal of the Sunday bands bas happily been accomplisked without riot or disturbance.This is a cause of devout thankfulness to * the Lord of the Sabbath,\u201d for it is an easy thing to stir up commotion in a densely-peopled metropolis like Lon- dou, especially when so much pains have been taken 10 impose on the multitude, and make them believe that their privileges were invaded.It was no fault of Sir Benjamin Hall that the people were not persuaded that they had à vested right in Sunday bands, and t their discontinuance way intended to be & prelude to further aggressions of rampant Puritanism.Bir Benjamin bad in bis letters predicted disturbances ; be had beld up to scorn the uncharitable character of the defenders of the Lord's day; be had even expressed his regret at the concessions made by the Premier ; and, above all, he had done all he could to degrade royalty by dragging in the example of Windsor, and more than hinting at the approbation with which this German innovation was regarded within the precints of the palace.Newsrarzes By MaiL.\u2014The Abolition of the stamp duties on newspa- pera and the eubatitution of a postage charge bave caused a decrease of about one-fourth in the number of newspapers posted, There are still about 71,000,000 newspapers per annum posted, or 200,000 per day.Of these much the larger proportion bear the impressed stamp, ~ Thierry, the historian of * The Norman Conquest,\u201d died at Paris lately.Tue Distereances at Matta.\u2014Serious disturbances occurred at Malta on the evening of the 6th inst, when & number of the Italian legion paraded through the streets of Valetta, singing songs of liberty, and using insulting expressions towards the natives.The Inspector of Police, while endeavouring to pacify them, was mortally stabbed, and only survived a few minutes.On the afternoon of the 8ib the disturbances were renewed, and a very mutinous spirit having manifested itself, their stock of ammunition had been removed, and late in the af ernoon the Hannibal, ship of the line, bearing the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Houston Stewart, was towed into Marsamusetto Harbour, and took up a position in front of.the Fort Manoel encampment.Nearly all the town sbops were closed throughout the and much consternation prevailed when the mail left.\u2014 Another letter from Malta, duted May 8, says :\u2014\u201c Some exaggerated blame bas been cast on the Italian legion for the late painful events.It should be known, that the Jesuits excited the ignorant Maltese population againat the legion as soon as they arrived, by declaring them heretics.\u2014 For a long time they supported insults with the greatest forbearance, but, at length, as might be expected, they resented insults.The men and officers have the greatest respect and devotion for the Queen and the English nation.\u201d {tis the intention of the Governor of Malta to keep the Italian troops which have shut themselves up in the fort surrounded until they are brought to their senses.No violence will be attempted against them, but as they have no provisions they must surrender.Iracy.\u2014Those who have lately returned from visiting Sicily say, that the feeling of hatred and indignation which exists against the Sovereign in that island is \u2018ndescribable.A match would set the whole country in flames, and no measures are being taken to soften or to ameliorate it.As of Sicily, equally true is it of Naples, that the strongest passions have been called into play by the mode in which the Italian question bas been shelved by diplomacy, for words are air; not 30, bowever, is it by the people ; and patient, hopeful expectation, and disposition to receive even moderate concessions, will bo exchanged for violent counsels and most extreme measures.A species of fury seems 10 animate the Liberals, nor is it surprising when they sce the ouly opening from which assistance mixsht bave come closed against them, Tub Wesr Ivows\u2014Ileavy rains bad fallen in Jamaica.The streets in Kingston were converted into formidable rivers ; brick walls had been precipitated to a distance of fifty feet; small houses in the suburb and gullies have bern swept away.The torrents washed up a diabolical instrument of human torture made of iron hoops with screws, and so constructed as to fit the largest or smallest person ; attached to it are manacles for the hands.The inside of the kuee bars and the resting-place for the soles of ibe feet are studded with spikes.When found, the perfect akele- ton of & negress was enclosed in the instrument.The islands were reported healthy.Guszce.\u2014Svurpaession or Bricsapaas.\u2014The Trieste Zeitung learns from Athens that the French commander has communicated to the Greek Government bis intention to extend the rayon of occupation to Thebes, \u201c for the protection of the people againat the robbers.\u201d Internat Conpition.\u2014The Sultan bas requested, itis said, several Anglo-French divisions to remain for some time at Constaninople.[tia thought that this request has been caused by the state of things in the interior of Turkey.The grand revolt which bas broken out in Arabia is the theme of general conversation.Egyptian troops are to be employed in repressing it.The journals are silent on the subject.Suleyman Pacha bas put down the revolt in Mingrelin and arrested the ringleaders.\u2014 French soldiers at Constantinople are said to be dying off in à moat frightful manner, with a disease intermediate between scurvy and the typhus fever.A number of doctors bave also died, and recently one committed suicide because he had failed to discover a remedy for the complaint.Noveury.\u2014They have now in Parisan \u201c umbrella great coat,\u201d which inintended to serve as a great coat and an umbrella at the same time.It is made of impervious material, and bas, mnoing along the lower cdge, an air-proof tube.Under the collar is a little blow-hole commu- nicatlng with this tube.The wearer applies his mouth to this bole, and Tun « fow exbalations he inflates it with air.The tube takes the con- tenc of a boop, the great coat takes the form of a diving-bell, and the drops \u2018all a long way outaide the wearer's feet.Duar Watvs.\u2014A french paper relates a strange and startling incident.At a ball lately given at Fort Louis, near Lorient, while a jeune lady was waltzing, she felt the band by which she was supported \u2018vome stone cold, and on looking into the of her ner, found his features to be deadly pale, and horribly contracted.Minted at the sight, and fell to the ground, whilst tbe cavalier dropped at her side.lady was taken up and recovered, but the life of the gentleman was extinot.Bhe maintains that bo was dead several seconds before she knew it, and that she made cue turn round the room with bim after be was a Sroxa \u2014At Doncaater it has been discovered that batier ie Bat stones, They are ground into a subatance known adulterated with \\ ns \u201csolubieeilica.\u201d Dissolved in water, it becomes à ste gelatigons body.UNITED STATES.Kansas.\u2014From the latest accounts, it appears that the insolenee of the invaders has at length ventored a direct interference with the Congressional Committee.* From Leavenworth City, May 28, it is reported at St.Louis, that an armed body of men, after parading the streets, arrested a clerk of the Investigation Committee, named Conway, and two witnesses who bad been subpacaaed, Messrs.Parrott and Moore.IL is represented that this party was led by « Soutb-Carolivian, Nr.Warren Wilkes, who, it is also represented, avowed tba: be had no legal aa- thority for making\u2019 the arrests.\u201d A letter from Topeka, dated the 25th, says :\u2014* Mr, Parrott a prominent lawyer of Kansas, has jnst arrived from Leavenworth.He informs, that on Wednesday last, he was arrested a party of twenty men, bearing United States muskets, under command of Col.Wilkes, of South-Carolins, and taken before the Vigilanee Committee, Leavenworth was surrounded by picketguards, and no one sof- fered to enter or leave the town, Col.Wilkes had a list of the principal citizens whom he intended 10 arrest.He bad already made three arrests.It was stated that the whole Territory would be placed under military surveillance.À new collision had taken place near Possowatomie, where the Ruffiane bad attempted to drive a Free-State man from his claim, and bad been resisted by the neighbors, and it is said some of them were slain.A civi) war presi inevitable, and the Committee of Congress believed that they should soon be compelled to leave.Judge Lecompte refused to admit Messrs.Robinson, Smith, Dierzler, Brown and Jenkins to bail, and they will be beld prisoners by the Marshal.General Pome- roy bas gone to Washington.He isa délegate to the Republican Convention which is to assemble at Philadelphia.It is estimated that the Joss sustained by the citizens of Lawrence by the recent attack will amount to $100,000.\" Ruiox or Tenton iv Kaxsas.\u2014It is now most manifest that the of Terror in Kansas is fully come.The evidence of this is found stated in the news from that Territory which is spread out in the daily and weekly papers.As far back as the 24th of April, one of car missionaries, in describing the state of things, writes,\u2014\" Men are hunted down for mere alleged misdemeanors; while well koown marderers are left to pursue their course unmolested.| do not know but it is possible that President Pierce is bent on involving us in a war, We had congratulated ourselves on the prospects of peace; but we bave tyrannical, desperate men to deal with, and no means will be left untried to subdue us.\u201d The sensation created among the \u201c Border Ruffian\u201d party by the testimony before the * Congressional Committee of Investigation,\u201d now sitting in Kansas\u2014the decision of Judge Lecompte for the arrest of the Free State officers, which is being carried into execution by the Marshal and the presenca of the United States troops\u2014the attempted arrest of ex-Governor Reeder while a witness before 1he Committee of Investigation\u2014the mustering of Msjor Buford's South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgis regiments by Marshal Donaldson, and the weight given to the Border Ruffian Government for Kansas, by the Executive, leaves little doubt that scenes of blood-shedding, and of outrage upon our innocent brethren in Kansas, known only 10 the slavery code, are now taking place.It will be seen whether the people of this country can lock calmly on such a spectacle\u2014 and whether a Government responsible for such enormities can stand tbe shock.Let the servants of \u201cthe Most High\" stand in their lot\u2014let their united cry, like that of the people of Mordecai and Esther, go up to Him from whom cometh deliverance.\u2014.4m.News.Evscrion Riors ix 78x Srares.\u2014At Washington, on Monday, there Was an lection riot, at which fire-arms were used, and one man\u2014an Irishman\u2014was shot dead.On the same day, at New Orleans, during the municipal elections there, there was à good deal of violence and blood-shed ; fire-arms and knives were in use, and besides s number wounded, several persons have been killed.What may be called the \u201ccivil warin Kansas\u201d is still raging with all its violence and brutality.The latest accounts report eight pro-slavery men killed.ExciTEMENT IN Cuicaco.\u2014There was an immense gathering here last evening, composed of citizens of all parties, responsive to a call fora meeting to consider the destruction of Lawrence and the attack on Mr Sumper.Resolutions were adopted, expressive of sympathy with Mr.Sumaer, and & determination to rrsist the invasion of Ransas.A committee was appointed to adopt a plan for the immediate organisation of 8 force 10 rescue Kansas, which committee will report to an adjourned meeting to be held on Saturday evening.Coxogrss.\u2014In the Honse, the Investigating Committee submitted two reports.The majority report recommends the expulsion of Brooks, and the censure of Edmundson, of Virginia, and Keitt, of South Carolina.The Minority Repost takes the ground that no breach of privilege, under tbe Constitution, bas been committed, and that the House bas no au- 1 thority to go beyond the Constitution in deciding the matter.Tbe action of the House Committee engaged in investigatiog the circumstances of the recent assault upon Nr.Sumner, bas elicited some interesting facts.A dispatch states that Mr.Edmundson, of Virginia, admitted that be knew of the intention of Mr.Brooks, and had been with bim two mornings to witness it.Catironnia Baxxzrs.\u2014 The San Francisco papers contain a detailed statement of the capital possessed by the various banking bouses in that city, by which it appears that some of them are extremely rich ; but the firm of Palmer, Cook & Co., possess wealth which is almost fabalous in its extent, Their real estate assessed in their own name is valued at $505,000, besides they have at least $1,200,000 assessed in the names of their tenants, a large amount of unimproved land without the city, a valuable interest in the Bolton claim, and a half of the Mariposa claim with Fremont.From this, we may justly regard Palmer, Cook & Co.as the Rothschilds of America.\u2014 Exchange paper.Later FuoM Mexico.\u2014The New York Tribune contains a letter from Mexico of the 6th inst.A law has been passed by a majority of 82 to 1, suppressing the privileges of the military nad clergy of appearing before their own tribunals as plaintiffs or defendarts.Both classes will in future be subject to the jurisdiction of the ordinary tribunals, a very important reform.It is \u2018stated in the newspapers that a Bishop bas been sued for debt in s civil court.The church certainly seems to be beld in increased disrespect.There is nothing new in respect to the seizure or the property of the church in Puebla.Tbe measure is still opposed by the Bishop of that diocese, who bas excommunicated the officer who \u201cook charge of the property and threatens all who deal with him with the same penalty, The chief prisoners taken in the Puebla insurrection, were sent by Government to Guerrero, but General Alvarez refused te receive them, on the ground that he had not tbe means for their maintenance ; and if admitted they would sow the seeds of anarchy in the State.Vedauri has also refused to admit into the State of Nuevg Leca the tariff of the General Government.DiscLoscres or à Muautric Svesrcr.\u2014A San Francisco paper, last steamer, says :\u2014\u201c Frank Ball, well known in the cities of the Northern and Eastern States as the principal mesmeric subject of Leroy Sun- derland at lectures which be gave in 1816-47-48, bas commenced publishing in the CAromicle a series of papers entitled \u201cThe Adventures and Revelations of Frank A.Ball, ns n Mesmeric Subject.\u2019 sunderland and he made more converts to mesmerism than were made by any other ten persons at that time.He now siates that he was never in meamerie sleep, but did all the experiments by collusion, and be explains bow it was done, and appeals to a number of witnesses to confirm the trath of what be says.He makes aftidavit to the truth of his revelations and hie Grst paper confirmed in many of its most material points by a respectable gentleman now residing in this city.\u201d Drunk ann Oring.\u2014There are in New Orleans, 2,800 drinking-houses to à population of 80,000 : that is a grog shop to every 19 persoas.As sassinations are of nightly occurrence.Foronn Laun Wasnants \u2014The amount of forged land warrants already discovered exceeds one million of acres.by the 184 - THE MONTREAL WITNESS.June 11, 1856.J Re \"we lain, which extends somewhat broken and interspersed with tim-| were dul blished in the French j ied i OOWMISBARY FBERRBs Eri hii ier, to the wed o vs rks psn sad thse ok oo ova, Kar he rhe Remi inlothe Englia, me ss EC SE URSS \u201c= ithe rocky mountains.e hunters mostly re nol years ago, mysterious reports about this new prodigy ot WHAT NEXT?but ut baffalo.\u2018They make two grand excursions each year\u2014| Vegetable Kingdom began to ventilated in.this countrys (From New York Times.) lone commencing on the 0th of June, aud lasting two months, and {article on the nuw tuber was, by some means, interpolated in the When Congress refused to investigate the conduct of one of its!the other on the 20th of September, and lasts tll the 10th of No- last Agricultural Report of our Patent Office.This year the bum- members who had been guilty of taking the life of a fellow-being vember.They live wholly on Buffalo meat, and are engaged only bug is matured and fully developed, both in France and in the in à brutal affray, and permitied him to enter the House of Repre- in preparing pemmican mest and fat\u2014the one used only for food, United States.À historical and sulugistic pamphlet has been pub- sentatives with the unatoned blood of his victim on his bands, and [and the other for light.The regular price of it is four cents 8 pound, lished aud extensively circulated.Stories, purporting to be trans- 10 take part in the public business, as though nothing remarkable both fai and lean.The tongues aud hides only of the buffalo are {lated from the Chinese, are told of the extravagant productiveness bad happened \u2014it gave its sanction 10 the revolting ruthanism which saved.The regular retail price of a tongue dried is 25 cents, and a ;

and every interest of the sugar and lobacco cultivator lies in extract ing the largest amount of service within that term.Those reserved for domestic offices fare beltar.Yet in the cities, the coniparison ween the African and Asiatic is always favorable to the former, he coolie, though of much greater intciligence, tact, and industry, is mote freqnentiy whipped, more constantly overworked, more unsparing) abused They are bought and sold precisely asthe Afri- oan.Wien by excessive cruelty they are driven to despair, their refuge ie suicide, opium supplying the ineans, and the expectation of immediate translation afer death tothe Celestial Empire, whence they came, the inducement.The number of suicides is represented as frightful.The scheme of slavery, every feature of which is worse in sll pariiculars than negro servitude, sickens the traveller in Cuba at every urn; every domestic duty, including those ordi- aarily assigned to women, he finds executed in the house where he lodges by these Orienta) slaves\u2014slaves nominally, for seven years; bat, substantially, for life, since no provision is made for restoring them to their homes, and, while in Cuba, their portion is the inevitable yoke.À vessel laden with these wretched creatures was cast away near Havannah on the 28th ult.It was, we regret to say, a vessel owned in New Yoik, and well knowo in the meicantile marine for its speed, though certainly no evidence of hat quality was afforded by its last and fatal voyage from Amoy to Cuha, four months being the time.It leit the former port with a crowded freight, decoyed on board doubtless by those atrocious and recklees representations which correspondents from that part of tbe world repeat 10 us as the staple of imposition upon au ignorant and guileless people.Of the five hundred aod eighty embarked, eighty had ished before the voyage ended.What home-sickness, discom- ly privations, and despair\u2014what close crowding in pestiferous holds and cabins, while twice crossing the equator\u2014must have fed this awful ratio of death to life, we can readily imagine, with the aid of data furnished ia other instances.Unlike the Guinea voyage, tie path is long, reaching more than half round (he globe.The food is proporl jonede not to the wants of the captives, but to a nice estimate of the lowest amount upon which human life can exist, slightly reduced in favor of the profit and loss account of the owner, No oceupant of a state prison subsists upon such lenten fare.Water is Boles out with equal parsimony.Discipline is of the steruest.Of course, discontent with such starvation diet, and when first awakened to the fact that the journey is not of a day or two, but of months, and that instead of being free men and passengers, they are of less consideration than so many quadrupeds, is anticipated and provided against.The crew being comparatively few, the odds are made vp arming them to the teeth.A few examples are always made the first week out.What 1s the sacrifice of a-half dozen Asi- alles in the scale with tbe safety of the captain and crew?The ctuélty systematicatly practised upon the poor crentures in order to frighten them into abject submission and silence is described b otolisional passengers in such vessels ns absolntely demoniacal and beartrending.Thus, beaten, knocked down, kicked, cuffed, stabbed, thrown overboard, or shot, if more than usually troublesome;

How many volumes has his own pen furnished in favor of the slave! How many, many meetings has he attended ! How many hours, and days, and weeks, and months, and perhaps yours, has he worked in this cause! How much money has he ex- ended, and how much scorn has he endured for being an Abolitionist! How much pecuniary loss hus he suffered in his commercial business ! and all, all, without any hops of reward, more than the pleasure of aiding the down-trodden slave.In addition to this, he has seen his own dwelling sacked, and his furniture taken into the effeet and burned before his eyes; while his own family fled for safety, from a mob raised and sustained in the City of New York, marely because he sympathized with the poor slave.Not only persecuted in his own residence, but the slaveholders themselves considered him worth buying, and offered a large sum for him, deliveted at the South, dead or alive.His trials and his sacrifices, and bis labors, can never be properly estimated till posterity shall read tuer, and the future bistorian shall gild the pages with his nsme and bis virtues.In all these baïtles for the slave, Tappan has been a leader ; and he was ever ready to lead, where any one dared to follow.May he live to ses his universal Jabors and sacrifices crowned with sucesss; and before he shall finish his work, may he be blessed with the sound of the breaking of the last chain that binds 8 elave.\u2014 Fred.Douglas\u2019 paper.ETING or FuarTivEs.\u2014lt is worth going from Syracuse to Ca- a to sitend an Anti-Slavery nieeting of fugitive slaves.Person- , [never taw a stronger, braver, or more intelligent looking mass of mers and women than that.Of course, they did not meet to instruct the ignerant of the nature of slavery, but to recount their trials, their bardships, their outrages, their conflicts, and to show the scars the beast made upon them.Their wounds * opened thei démb mouthe,\u201d and plasd loudly for freedom.Theirtongues were eluent, but their scarred and mutilated bodies were more eioquent.1 never was so fired with the spirit of war as at this meeting: Some pointed to scars in battles with bloodbounds\u2014 some to broken, lim| \u2014some to teeth knooked out\u2014some to the marks of the brandin wrk of sutrage tipon their stalwart frames.\u2014 Ibid.Tits Coronxn Mawty Insrawaion.\u2014Franklin Pierce seems de- tesmiined to oruali cua\u201d the Free State mim, though the nation be ized in blood.A meaner tyrant than he never saw the light ohvon.Whether Kansas admilted as a Free or à Slave he will tecéive hiy raward, ' The indignation of the people 1 agalngt ith; and he will not be ablé to escape: the dosm in-mtbrsion (ov: hire, He has done.more foo lhe temperazy 4d- vamotuient of the Siaveholling immarest, than: a seuthesn nan with 8 handrod oliattele would have attempted 40° dd.And nm mm Well may \u2018Étoedem ne she gases np strike her to the earth, exclaim, £Y te- y of indomitable energy, whose success 15 morally certain.Nor can bs orsaso had been made to the stipulal iron stig to he oxt-o™ fine-tails\u2014some to thts and torne to the the committee cannot fathom.All al hoa ng, eee CawraaL Anesica.~The news from Central America is of ihe [the confusion and descrepencies which éxist are disgracefal in the ; mostexelting character.On ths 11th of April, 8 desperate batile!extreme.The accounts, in some insisnces, where deductions and was fought between Walker and ithe Costa Ricans, in which the|ndditions were necessary to make them balance.are loss is variously stated.The Fillibosters say that about 600 Coma pencil!
