OBITUARY. Langham Hokeby, R. M. Captain LAngham Hokeby, late of the Royal Kigland Marine forces, has died at Cairo, Egypt, in his thirty-iourth year. Captain Hokeby entered the service in October, 18(5, and served in the China expedition of 1857 and 1858, and was severely wounded.

He was present at the blockade of the Canton River, the landing before and at the storming and capture ot the city, the action with the braves, and at the destruction of villages near the White Cloud Mountains, and for his services had been rewarded with a medal. Robert Claigle, R. H. Admiral Robert Clalgie, or the British Navy, has died, unexpectedly, at his residence, West Cliff, Dawlish. England.

He was seventy-throe years or age, and had spent sixty years in the naval service. His chler exploits were connected with the suppression of the slave trade on the Alrican coast, at a time wheu such service involved more risk and required more adroitness than it does to-day.

Commander Nathaniel Green, of the United States Navy, died at Reading, during the evening of the 22d instant. He was thirty-seven years oi age. He entered the service In the vear 1852. and served with credit throughout the entire participating with Parragut in the capture of Mobile and New Orleans. His reuaius will be interred to-morrow.

THE EAST SLAVE TRADE. Sir BartLe Frere's Progress nnd Plnn of Operntion. the Calcutta Overland Mail, Feb, We see rrom the Bombay papers that Sir Bartle Frere and his staff reached Zanzibar sn the 12th and had an audience with the Sultan on the following day. Having acquainted himself with the object of the mission, the Sultan called a conference or the Arab chiefs, who were to assemble in three days, and consult on the matter. It was thought Inevitable that the chiefs, who are entirely dependent on the slave trade for their living, wouid be opposed to such a solution of the question as that demanded by the mission; and in this opposition they would be backed by the sympathies of the mercantile community and the population generally.

Trade in Zanzibar was said to be quite paralyzed since the arrival.of the mission. The slave trade, however, was going on unchecked, and in the most unblushing manner under their very eyes. An American sloop-of-war, the Yantlc, which had been sent to co-operate with the mission, was in the harbor, and a grand dianer was to have been given by the Sultan to Sir Bartle Frere on the 18th. The conclusion suggested by the above facts seems to be that to aoolish the slave trade it may not improbably be necessary either to compensate the ehiels engaged In the traffic as well as the Sultan of Zanzibar, or to place substantial aid at the disposal of the latter for coercive pumoses. The Sultan gets the amount or the Muscat subsidy In exchange for the prottts he will lose, and if that, la an equivalent he may accept the terms offered him.

But the moat powerful section ol the sultan's subjects have a larger Interest at stake than their ruler; and as they are to get no compensation It seems not unlikely that they will look at the matter in a different light. In short, ft is not only the Sultan whdse acquiescence is required to put down the trade, and if his co-operation Is to be anything more than an empty name tie will have to accept the risk of a conflict with his own subjects. He may not. like, or he may not dare, te accept such a and, even If he both likes and dares to accept It, he probably has not the pewer to carry It out. No doubt wo could put at his disposal abundant force to compel the obedience of his people.

But are we prepared to do what would be tantamount to military occupation or Zanzibar, and what would at least be a most expensive undertaking? And. If we are, is the Sultan likely to ask for, or willingly submit to, such an occu- pat ton? one thing, so far, is certain. that I the advent of the mission has not had the least 1 effect in overawing those engaged a the trade. I If the attempt to suppress the trade should I not lead to the political uuarcby that seems proba- 1 hie, social anarchy and widespread distress must inevitably be among the primary results of Its sue- i-ess. The entire community of Zanzibar Is more or less coaccrned in the traffic which is the chler i source of its wealth.

As regards means of car- riage, even the legitimate commerce of the place la largely dependent on the slave trade; and, though it. Is quite possible that the suppression of the latter may hereafter lead indirectly to the opening up of new sources of commerce. It will be a long time before this can happen, and in the meanwhile a serious mercantile crisis and decay oi trade must supervene. All these are, of course, minor considerations compared with the one great object in new, but r.hev cannot be left out or account in reckoning the cost. One Item in the burden we lave taken upon ourselves may not impossibly be a starvation Relief Fund.

WATKtNM, N.

March 21, 1873. 1 It la only a week or so since that John N. Burns, the defaulting Treasurer of Yates county, passed i through this place en route for Penn Yan, in charge 1 or Sheriff Dinturff. Yates county is directly north of this (Schuyler) couuty, and Peun Yan Is but I twenty-three miles from here. The throng of cu- rlous people that crowded about the depot at this 1 place to see the defaulting Treasurer on that occa- sion did not dream that their own couuty finances were in charge of a man then premeditating fol- lowing the example or Yates county's Treasurer, as he, too, was thousands of dollars in debt to his county.

But such was the I case. Burns was taken to Penn Yau on Saturday, the 1st inst. On Tuesday, the Itli, J. P. Shepherd, Treasurer ol this countr.

left his home in Readiuir Centre, In the northern part of tiie county. He told his family that lie was coming to this place, which la the county acat. On Wednesday following he was aeen at Hiinlra by au acquaintance, since a i then UK HAS NOT BKKN HBAKD OF. i A few daya after bin absence It began to be wiito- pered that he had absconded. The greatest uneasl- neaa was manifested by hla friends aud bondaiuen, but they persisted in denying the probability of 0 such an event for several daya, when it became too 0 evident that there was good foundation for the suspicion.

8 Au examination was then made into his books, The grossest irregularities were discovered, ft was found that Shepherd was a defaulter to the county in $15,000. 11 TBK DEFAULT tl was originally on the tax collections of 1872, but he liad taken out of the funds coming into his hands this year the above sum to make lift last year's so- 1 counts sqnarc. This discovery, although it had 1 been considered a foregone conclusion that some such discovery would be made, oreated the greatest sensation, and the case of Burns ceased to be 11 the all-absorbing topic. Shepherd's family, like that of the Yates county Treasurer, is of the highept respectability, and Shepherd himself was constuered among the most prominent and substantial men in the county, although of late he lias been rather a last liver. His wife was almost crazed when the certainty of her husband's guilt was revealed.

She had been but a day or so he- tore an ardent sympathiser with the wife of the Yates county defaulter, and wondered how she had survived such DI8QKACR AND AFFLICTION. It was reported also that Shepherd had followed still more closely the example'or Burns, and taken with him in his flight a notorious female, as she disappeared on the same day. She has returned since, however, denies having been in the a company of Shepherd. i. Besides the $16,000 county defalcation Shepherd has liabilities to the amount of seven thousand 1 or eight thousand dollars In other matters.

His individual affairs are In a complicated condition and cannot be saved from bankruptcy. A painful incident in the sad case is that Shepherd's lather, who is totally bliud, but worth a few thousand dollars, is the son's security for as much oh iac utd man ih worm, and mum share in TUG 'AM I I.Y RUIN. Since Shepherd absconded It cornea out that a citizen of Wuiklns, a bondsman of the defaulter, hud some business iu Albany a lew weeks ago. While there he wus Informed by the Comptroller a that shepherd was in arrears. This natu- a rally startled the surety and he hastened home to investigate the matter.

He called on Shepherd, who acknowledged that he had delayed having his accounts arranged, but that he was having the matter settled, and was then about to send his check to the Comptroller lor the amount. This quieted all tears, and no lurthcr investigation was a made at the time. As prescribed by law, the bondsmen asking to be a released, the Board of have published a notice demanding Shepherd to appear and renew a within twenty days or his office will be declared vacant. Until that time expires an exact cxamtna- a tion cannot be made of HIS BOOKS AND 1'Al'KRS. It is a matter or much speculation how Shepherd settled with the Supervisors last Kail.

Ills vouch- era were either false or the Examining Committee are guilty of neglect or their duties. Developments 5 on this point are awaited with considerable in- tcrcst. It is not believed that Shepherd took much money with him, but that he has squandered It and 1 lost it in unfortunate speculations. BOLD BURGLARIES. I Foar Men Enter Large Tailoring En- 1 tabllshment at Nine o'clock In ike Evening and Carry Off Worth of Dogs Never Bite." James L.

McEwen keeps a large tulloriug cstab- lishment at 44 East Twenty-third street, under Jhe Young Men's Christian Association rooms. Last Thursday night he closed the store at half-past seven o'clock and went home, and at half-past ten a gentleman called at the house to impart the cheerful intelligence that his store had been robbed. On repairing to the establishment Mr. 1 McEwen found it in possession of three officers, and on looking around readily discovered that he was minus a little better than three thou- a sand dollars' worth of stock. It seems that on the evening in question there, was a lecture In the hall of the association 1 above, In consequence of which the street was well a blocked with carriages.

This afforded the thieves, t( who drove up in a coach, an excellent opportunity to ply their vocation without fear oi detection, as otherwise a siugle carriage standing in front of the place would, in all probability, attract attention. A friend of Mr. McEweu's, who chanced to pass about half-past nine o'clock, or possibly a little later, says he saw a man standing In the doorway? the door being three others inside. They appeared to lie quite at home, and were takings things so easily that the gentleman thought tlioy were some oi Mr. McEwen's employes, and eonse- ol quently said nothing about it.

The private watch- man employed by the association also passed the store at ten o'clock, and In doing so strnck his foot P' against something, which, on examination, proved to be a jimmy. This very naturally excited his sus- piclon. and, looking about, he soon discovered Mr. McEwen's door wus standing open. All this time, be It remembered, the gas was hi burning brightly In tne store, and the large win dows In trout were devoid of shutters.

There were also three dugs inside, all of whom were heard to set up an "unearthly yelping" about the time the I of robberv was nemetrated. I A third party, in passing the about the time the thieves effected an entrance, says ne a heard the dogs bark, at which the men ordered tb tnem to lie down and he quiet. Having secured what plunder they could conveniently carry off the party retired to their carriage and drove off. 1 Of course their capture is highly improbable, sp although Mr. McKwen has notlfled the police und 1 has offered a reward of $100 tor any in form atiou that will lead to the detection and conviction of tb the burglars.

th Bold House Hobbrry In Wllllamobarg? A Family Supposed to Have Been re Chloroformed and Their Residence ce Robbed. I 8P An audacious but not unusual robbery was perpetrated in Williamsburg yesterday morning re between the nours, us supposed, of two and three 01 o'clock. The victims of the robbery were Bernard Hughes and family, who keep a grocery store at 84 North Filth street and reside in the same building. They knew nothing of the robbery until they awakened shortly alter their usual time, when Mr. 1 ai Hughes iound that one of the windows of the store in had boen pried open and some of the glass broken.

On further investigation be found that groceries Ai valued at had been carried away, and, on I going to nis sleeping apartnimt. discovered that a qnantity of clothing and $30 In money had disap- i C1 peared.

wasminutom. March u71 Whf the President Commuted Sentence to Imprisonment Amt Lid. The Attorney General, by direction of the Preal lent, has made requisition upon the Secretary lute for a warrant commuting the sentence of ex Charles tJ. O'Brien, who killed a mat tamed Cuuitlniiham, near Oeotgetowa, last Sum ner, and who was sentenced to executed nexi 'rlday. The reasons set fOftn by the President art hat a very large number of the citizens of the )istrlct have petitioned for the commutation of Mm entencc to Impriaonmcnt for liio.

It Is also al egca that the act killing was commlied in udden passion, and not with premeditation, and loubts exist on that snbjeot. General Hutlei nade a great offort to induce the Court Taut O'Brien a new trial, but the mo ion was denied. The action of Governoi in refusing to commute the sentence or er, Is strongly contrasted with the President'! xcuxe in setting forth on the recommendation uduontlai friends that doubt exists as to the pre ncdltatlon ol the murder. O'Brien was on duty al tie timo at a picnic, and armed, as is usual, with leavy revolver. It was In evidence that there was ome conversation between the accused and the leoeaaed'a wife as to the former procuring a sltuaion for the deceased, and some words ensued be ween the parties as to the characters of their rives.

Lieuteuant Kssex took the and badge of the accused irom him, and ten ir fifteen minutes afterwards the fatal shot wat red by O'Brien. The Foster and O'Brien cases re somewhat alike, with this against O'Brien, thai ie was perfectly sober and had plenty of time a which to allow his passion to subside unless iursed it with the intention of Bhootlng Cunning ism on sight. The history of the case is brief i'Brien, who is a powerful man, had done some avor lor Cunningham, and proposed in return thai Irs. Cunningham should grant him certain favors rhioh were indignantly relused. Cunnlngliau icouse I O'Brien's wife of being no better than "slu ihould be." Cunningham, who was a man of sllgli itature and nnarmed, expressed his mind freely ind it was for engaging in the wordy quarrel thai he Lieutenant put O'Brien under arrest.

In plac if taking from him his baton and badge publi riticism declared he should have been deprived lis weapon. The press has condemned the act he President, and it is as much the theme of con crsatlon in the District as was the pending ilea for Foster last week. The commutation papert rill be prepared to-morrow and delivered to the rarden of the Jail on Tuesday. O'Brien will be ent to Albany, where, after lour or five years' hard xbor, he hopes to be pardoned. The Caldwell Not Yet Concluded? Old Subsidy Working the Senatorial Chair.

The Caldwell investigation has been dragging low length along for more than a fortnight, and he Senate is thoroughly tired of it, and the ountry cannot ue less fatigued with the eiteration of the staple arguments used during he discussion. The facts have admitted or no rgument on either side worth mentioning, nd the legal features of the case were warn hreadbare by Thurman and Csnkllng early in the tscusalon. Morton lias-yet his ptioe riaistanot ndellvercd on the subject, aud the nil minuteness of the notes he has been taking re Indicative of at least a three hours' summing of the law and the evidence. It is barely prubble a vote will be reached before Tuesday, when careful polling of the Senate has rendered il ertaln that the resolution to leave the seat vacant nd requiring a majority vote will be defeated. The upplemental resolution in reference to expulsion i likely to receive a majority vote when, accordag to the cilquetto of the Senate, as fixed by recadcnt In the case of Preston Brooks, thougli he vote be legally Insufficient, it will devolve tpon Caldwell to resign.

A rumor to this effect, hat Caldwell has promised to resign In the event hat the resolution declaring his seat vacant pre 'alls, Is said, on the best authority, to be utterlj groundless, and Intended merely to Influence those if his virulent enemies who might gain in uumberi ly the time tne votes passed on the first resolutlot ufficlently to carry It, to mitigate a trifle of then ippoHttiou and allow the resolution to fail, In wluct vent it is believed that further proceedings in tne aatter will be staved off until the next session and laldwcll will retain his seat. But there is a groesque Inside to this Caldwell drama that, to those ognizant of its meaning and processes, Is infldtely more entertaining than the droning, longIrawn debate as to the actual or constructive rlbery by Caldwell and tbe proper penalty hereof. It Is no less astounding than true that 'Old Subsidy" is allowed to be one of the most otent propulsive engines to this investigation, nd superlative boldness even in this age of cheek asses from the possible to the Incredible, when lie actuating motive of "Pom" is recogized on the best authority to be a desire secure an intention to enter the contest to attin the succession.
