The British steamship Chilian, of the West Indie and Pacific line, from Liverpool via Vera Cruz and Progreso, arrived at her dock, head of Jackson street, on Saturday. The Chilian leit Liverpool on the 10th of November with a large assorted general cargo, railroad iron, boilers, for Vera Cruz. Rough weather was experienced to the Azores, when the remainder of the way there was milder and more pleasant weather. Not a ship was spoken during the entire voyage. Arriving at Vera Cruz on the 4th the Chilian was detained in harbor there fourteen days, most of that time it being 1m- possible to hold communication with the city.

Having taken in a quantity of coffee and twenty six large turtles, the steamer Deft for Progreso on the 19th, arrived there on the 21et, and after unloading the cargo for that point and taking on a quantity of hemp, the Chilian left for New Orleans, arHiving off the mouth of the river at 3 o'clock on Friday afterneon, and at her. dock on Saturday morning. At Vera Cruz, Capt. James Brown, James Clark, fret mate, and four sailors of the Britieh bark Gaucho were taken on board the Chilian a8 distressed seamen, brougus to this city and turned over to the Britialr Coneul. They furnish the following details of the disaster: On the 6th of November, when bound from Frontero to Santa Anna and off the latter point, a heavy norther sprang up suddenly.

After letting go and losing three anchors and cables, the vessel drifted ashore. The masts were cut away and every effort possible made to save the bark, but to DO purpose, as she broke ta pieces and was soon a complete wreck. All bands, to the number of eleven, had to swim for their lives, in the effort of which two seamen named George Beggs, of Jersey, and Wm. Hawkins, of London, were, drowned. The others reached the abore in safety, and proceeded to Santa Anna, from whence the captain, mate and four sailors went to Vera Cruz, and as stated above, left on the Chilian for New Orleana, the remainder of the crew stopping at Santa Anna.

The bodies of the two men were not washed ashore, which led to the inference that they had been eaten by the The survivors had to walk a distance of ten miles barefooted and almost naked before they saw a human habitation, when, almost starved and worn out with fatigue, they arrived at Santa Anna. The poor fellows are now in this city in the same condition, 80 far as their scanty wearing apparel is con cerved, but, being in the hands of the British Consul, will be cared for and sent to their homes in England. The bark Gaucho, from London, England was a vessel of 375 tons and was owned by W. Allen of that city. The bringing to the city the survivors of the ill-fated bark, taking care of the sallors.

and placing Capt. Brown, and the mate, James Clark, in the first cabin, is not the first act of kindness that Capt. Roach of the Chilian has extended to distressed marinere, as be has just been awarded a silver medal by the Liverpool Shipwreck and Humane Bociety for gallant and noble conduct in rescuing in April lasti the officers' and crew of the Norwegian bark Amalthea, Capt. Wrastlin, master. The bark was on her way from Gloucester, England, to New York, laden with iron, and was owned by A.

Hoy, of Stavanger, Norway. During a terrific storm in the Bay of Biecay, the bark foundered. As the Chilian was sighted, afgnals of distress were given which were observed on board the steamer, and she bore down to render assistance: Ali hands on board the bark were working at the pumps to keep the vessel afloat, in the hope of saving her, when Capt. Roach arrived within hailing distance and informed Capt. Wrastlin, early in the morning, that he was subject to his commands.

After some time was spent in farther endeavors to eave the bark, Capt. Wraetlin informed Capt. Roach that be ADO his men were ready to abandon her, when the latter ordered a boat lowered for the rescue, but it broke to pieces almost as soon as it reached the water coming in contact with the side of the steamer. Capt. Wrastlin now informed Capt.

Roach that be would prefer still continuing to save the bark instead of abandoning her, but aeked it former would continue to lay to until morning. Capt. Roach said he would, and orders to cease efforts to go alongside the bark. Upon this the crew of the bark refused to work longer at the pumps, when Capt. Wrastlin informed Capt.

Roach of this fact and that he was ready to abandon the vessel. As it was now evening, and the storm still continuing with unabated fury, Capt. Roach intormed Capt. Wrastlin that he could then render no assistance, and that those on board the bark must work until morning to keep her afloat, when he would come to the rescue of all on board. The result wae, that after a night of great anxiety on board both the vessels, the bark was kept afloat by great exertions of her crew, when they, the oflicers and wife and child of the captain, seventeen in all, wer safely transferred from the deck of the b' to that of the steamer, the boat rece' them being in charge of the third of doer of the Chilian, W.

L. Lyons, agent, New Orleans. For the New Orleans Picayune? DUBLIN, Dee. 11, 1880. The preparations for the State trial are nearly complete, and Monday, the 13th is fixed as the day on which the special jury will be struck.

The following is the mode of procedure: On that day forty eight Dames will be selected, by ballot. from the special jury list of the city of Dublin. The Crown will, before the trial, have the right tO strike off twelve names, and the versers twelve more. The remaining twentyfour names will constitute the panel from which the twelve jurymen, who are to try the case, will be selected, but the traversere hare the right to challenge six more. It is announced that, in addition to the other counsel engaged for the defense, Mr.

A. W. Sullivan's services have been secured. The language used by Chief Justice May in refusing to postpone the trial has had the effect of calling public attention to the fact that it is impossible to obtain a fair trial if he is to preside, and already remonstrances have been addresced to the Government upon the subject. The newspapers, both English and Irish, almost unanimously condemn his language, and indiscretion (to call it by a mild name) In prejudging the traversers, and the London Times points out that it were better the prosecution should cease altogether if the country was not confident of the impartiality of the bench.

Amongst those who have taken a prominent part in commenting upon the Lord Chief Justice, is Bir J. C. McCoan, member of Parliament for Wicklow, who declares that in the whole couree of twenty-five years' membership of the bar, he has never heard or read of a grosser act of judicial indecency than that perpetrated by Chief Justice May, and that for any parallel to it we must go back to the days of the infamous Scragge or Norbury and Mr. MoCoan calls upon the Irish Parliamentary party to at once address to the Chief Secretary for Ireland the strongest protest they can frame against a judge who haa thus disgraced his en mine, being allowed to take any part in a trial the jesues of which he has so scandalously prejudged;" and adds that it will be the paramount duty of the Irish members, a8 soon as Parliament meets, to promote an address to the Crown for bia removal altogether from the Bench, since it is clear that so long as he remains upon it the partial administration of the law need not De expected from any court in which he sits." Mr. McCoan has also written to the Lord Chief Juetice asking him if the report of his judgment, as printed in the papers, may he taken as substantially correct! The Chief Justice replied that he declinced to enter into any correspondence with a private individual on any judgment delivered by him To this Mr.

McCoan wrote that he did not desire to discuss the merits et the judgment, nor was it as a private" indi: vidual, he wrote, but as a member of the Legislature, to which the Lord Chief Justice, 88 a public eervant, was responsible; and 66 that in view of the grave offense against judicial daty and decency which such a judgment constituted, he begged to give notice that he shall feel it his duty, when Parliament meets, to bring the matter before the House of Commons." A requisition is being signed asking the Lord Mayor of Dublin to convene a public meeting to give formal expression to the feeling of indignation entertained by all who respect the im partial administration of justice against the partisan and unjustifiable pronouncement of Chief Justice May." A rumor is current in legal circles that the Lord Chief Justice has been called upon for an explanation of bis language; and if: such be a fact, it is quite possible that a epecial commission may be appointed to try Mr. Parnell and his fellow traversers; and that the Lord Chief Justice may not, after all, have to adjudicate upon a CASE which he seems to have prejudged. Every person will be glad to hear that the Sullivan-Callan case has been settled. Mr. Callan, M.

apologizes to Mr. Sullivan, M. for having libeled him, and pays all costs. A shocking murder has been perpetrated at a place called Lough Stay, near Cookstown, in the county Tyrone, A bailiff named Mulholland was sent to execute a decre upon a small farmer named David Graham. The decree Was had against Graham by a merchant of Cookstown for a small amount, and two of the merchant's assistants accompanied the bailiff.

Arriving at the house, Mulholland asked Graham for the amount of the decree, but the latter replied that he would pay it on Saturday. Mulholland said he would have to do his duty, and left the house. He went Into the field, a short distance from the house, and seized three sheep, but Graham said the sheep were bis son's, and they were taken from Mulholland, and driven into the house. Mulholland attempted to go into the house, but Graham going before him, brought out a gun and attempted to strike the bailiff with it. Mulbolland stepped back a few yer de, and Graham, drawing a mark across the path, said if Mulholland crossed that mark he would shoot him.

To this Mulholland replied that he would not and crossed the mark, when Graham, taking aim with the gun, fired and shot Mulholland through the heart. The dead body was carried into Cookstown. Graham was arrested that night in his own house, to which he had returned for clothes, and he has been sent for trial at the Spring Assizes on a charge of wilfal murder. On Lord Headly's estate, a bailiff who was serving processes was seized band of men, who tied his bands and feet, and sus pended him over a bridge, in which position he was dtecovered by the police and rescued. Threatening letters are very general at the present time.

Mr. Parnell receives them regularly, and no later than if yesterday appeared he received one telling him that he on the platform at the Pomeroy meeting, near Dungannon, he would be shot, as there were twelve persons sworn to shoot The Rev. Father Rhetigan, of Clifden, Connemara, has received a letter eigned an Orangeman," stating that a bullet will be sent through him. At the Cork Assizes a farmer named Coffay was put upon his trial for firing at a bailiff. The jury acquitted the prisoner.

When the prisoner was diecharged, Judge Fitzgerald said: that morning he had received a letter telling him if he did not charge fairly in the be case which had just concluded he wonld shot, perbaps in the open court. The judge, who was very much affected, said he had been twenty-ove years on the bench, and it was unnecessary to tell him to charge fairly and impartially, bat he treated the letter with the contempt it deserved.

The trial of My Healy, M. Mr.

Parnell's private secretary, and Mr. Walsh. ou named the charge Manning, and attempting to compel him to of Intimidating a farmer give up a farm, was heard yesterday in Cork. It will be remembered that Manning took had a farm from which a man named Magrath been Walsh visited and Manning that and advised him to Messre. Healy and give up the farm.

It was for doing to this swear that inthe magistrates got Manning formations against them, and the they trial were it now prosecuted. In the course of that was the pointed prosetation out by was the under an sot of William traverser's counsel which enjoined that the 1 person to found inguilty of intimidating or imprisoned attempting for aux timidate not should exceeding three years, and be term Dublin Correspondence, male, shall be once, twice or thrice privately or publicly whipped." Imagine the boasted civilization of the British Legialature allowing such an act to remain apon the Statute book. The trial, however: resulted in an acquittal. The announcement was received with every demonstration of joy, and in a speech delivered by Ir Healy he said that the verdict should be an answer to the Government in their prosecutions, and would be reflected a month later in Dublin. We had another strange case in the county Tipperary.

A farmer named Slattery was indicted for the willfal murder James Donohue, on the 3d of October last. It peared that Blattery lived in a house adjoining the house of a farmer named Laby. Both Slattery and Luby were evicted, and two bailiffs were put in possession of Laby's house. Luby, however, expelled them and toek possession, only to be turned out again, when the house was occupied by six bailiffe. On the night of the 3d of October party of about twenty men, with blackened faces.

broke into the house and expelled the bailiffs. Slattery. was sworn to be the leader of this party, and one of the bailiffe swore that he tore the veil off Slattery'e. face. In the melee which ensued Donohue, a bailiff, who was armed with an ax, got such severe injuries that he died from the effects of them.

It was sworn by one of the bailiffs that the deceased was struck with an iron bar by Slattery, but this was denied and an alibi set The jury, however, after a slight consulration, found the prisoner not guilty "-a verdict which was received with: appiause. Last week a rather amusing incident occurred in Waterford. Judge Berry was engaged hearing the cases for trial, and'a JOUDg man was put forward, charged with stealing a pair of boots. It appeared that the prisoner bad some business at a house, and immediately after he had gone the boots were missed. A servant went in parsuit, and saw him coming out of a shop where he had sold the boots, which were produced in court, and identified, and 80 clear was the case that when the evidence had concluded, Judge Barry, noticing the jury about to retire, remarked that if furies retired in all such cases, a considerable amount of time would be wasted.

The jury, however, did retire, and, after a few minutes' absence, returned with a verdict of not guilty." The prisoner was ordered to be discharged. The constable in charge of the case asked what was to be done with the boots The Judge replied that the jury think they belong to the prisoner, so you had better give them to him result which seemed to surprise the prisoner. This reminda me of a case heard before the late Baron Greene. He was engaged hearing the cases in the county Clare, when a man was put upon his trial, charged with highway robbery; but notwithstanding the fact that the person whe was robbed gave evidence against the prisoner, the jary acquitted him. Baron Greene, ordering the prisoner's discharge, said Mr.

Sheriff, the jury have acquitted this honest man, and you will therefore discharge him; but do not liberate him until I get four hours' start of him on the road to Limeriok." Boycotting" has become very general now throughout the country, and amongst the many cases select two as showing how prevalent the system. has become. Father Keogh, P. of Ballenahinch, Tipperary, was engaged making a settlement between a farmer who had taken poeseasion of farm from which a widow was evloted. The decision of the priest provoked a relative of the boycotted farmer, and he made an attaek upon the priest with a knife, -inflict1ng a severe wound upon his hand and tearing his clothes.

He then made his escape. There is the wildest excitement in the neighbornood, as the priest was most popular. In Ennis, County Clare, the car owners. refused to convey the Constabulary to Tulla petty sessions, 80. the County Inspector headed an armed force, and seized and took possession of the long car and horses belonging to the posting establishment in this town.

The Sullivan-Ballan case, which, it was confidently a serted, bad been amicably settled, was decided at the Old Bailey, Landon, to day, and Mr. Ballan ined 250. T. M. FATHER RYAN, He Gives a Stirring Talk to the Irish Land League of Baltimore.
