O'CONNOR'S TOBACCO. An Irish Claimant luder the Washlugtou REBEL BONFIRES IN RICHMOND. A British Speculator Asks the Uuited Slates to Pay for Confederate Smoke. HIS GROWING ACCOUNT. Three Hundred Thousand Dollars Demanded for Property "Which Cost One Hundred Thousand.

ARE WE RESPONSIBLE? Is the Federal Government Boand to Maintain Order and Liable to Penalty for Failing An Oiftet for the Geneva Award. Dublin, Oct. 7, 1972. Pursuant to Instructions, I nave placed myself in communication with Mr. Valentino O'Brleu O'Connor, Deputy Lieutenuut of Mils city, and learned from document and affidavits which lie has placed at my service the particulars of his claim agaiust the government of the United St ates.

Mr. O'Connor I 1s esteemed one of the wealthiest men in this city. He has conducted for a great number of years one Of the most valuable mercantile conccrus iu the country. He Is engaged in ail the great under- takings of the day and takes an active part in Irish railway and banking business. He is Chairman of the Board of Directors of the ltoyal Bank, Chairman of the Cork and Ityndon Hallway, a director of the Patriotic Assurance Company, the Great Southern and Western Railway, of the Dublin, Wicklow and Wexlord Railway and of the Limerick and Foynes Hallway.

He describes himself as a "general merchant" of every class of American goods? cotton, tobacco, rice (from India), tailow and oil. He is also au East India shipowner. Mr. O'Connor's oitlces in Bcrcsford place, opposite the Dublin Custom House, are not imposing; they are, indeed, dingy and old-fasliloned, und the passer-by has but small notion of the great ooncerns directed from behind that ricketty desk, at which Mr. O'Connor's burly form is usually to be found.

AN UNPROFITABLE SPECULATION. That Mr. O'Connor had lost a considerable sum of money by transactions which lell out badly (luring the great civil war has been long known in Dublin; but his resources were also known to be immense. There was no sympathy, because none was needed. The story was current as a simple fact.

Immediately after the Court at Geneva had pronounced their award Mr. O'Connor forwarded his claim to the Commissioners api ointed under the Twelfth article of the Washington Treaty of 1871. On the 2Stli of September he made formal deposition of the facts before Mr. Shupland Morriss Tandy, a Commissioner under the Irish Court of Chancery. The United States Consul and Vice-consul were present, and Dr.

Boyd of the Irish Bar, instructed by MrMill, attorney, examiued Mr. O'Connor 011 behalf of the United States government. The depositions were signed by Mr. Tandy and forwarded to Washington to the Secretary oi the Mixed Commission. a rtrMP CLAIM.

From a perusal of copies or the affidavits, I enabled to state the details of the case which Mr. O'Connor advances In support of his claim for los. and 000, eleven years' interest on the same. TVis gives a total of nearly The claim arises solely out of tobacco transactions. Mr.

O'Connor begins by proving that he is and lias been a British subject; that lie is sixty-one years old and has never sought to be naturalized in any other country. In March, 1861, he ordered Mr. K. H. Dlbrell, a German, a merchant, then residing In Richmond, to purchase a quantity of tobacco and ship the same to Dublin.

Mr. Dibrell, between April is, 1861, and February 17, 1863, pur- chased 825 nogsheads oi Virginia leal tobacco, and made payment therefor by drafts drawn upon Mr. i O'Connor to the amount of These drafts Mr. O'Connor paid. The 825 hogsheads consisted in part of 643 hogsheads purchased between May, 18G1, and February, 1863.

lu a schedule to his "case" Mr. O'Connor exhibits the Invoice, and shows tnut they were stored in the Public, the Shockhoe, the Mavo and Dlrell warehouses, ail in Richmond. The warehouse number, the mark, the shipping number, the tare, the net weight, the price ana the I cost of each hogshead were all duly set forth. 'Ihese (143 hogsheads "were utterly destroyed by I tire on the morning of the 3d of April, 1865," anil I were totally lost to Mr. O'Connor.

He affirms that they were destroyed in obedience to an order by certain persons acting under the C'onled- i erate government and that these orders were i given in consequence oi a belief that Richmond was i about to fall Into the hands of the United States government. In addition to these 043 hogsheads there were 64 hogsheads purchased between Mh.v and Octooer, 1861. They were stored In the public warehouse in Richmond, and the.v were totally by tire on the night ot ihciothof of March, 1863. Mr. O'Connor believes the fire to have been accidental, but to have "occurred in consequence of the distururbed condition oi affairs at that time existing lu in addition to these two lots Mr.

O'Connor claims for twenty-one hogsheads sold to pay the tax levied by the Confederate government; for one hogshead thrown into "the Basin'' at Richmond on March 3, 1863, for experimental purposes, and for seventeen hogsheads stored in Randolph's warehouse, In Farniville, and lost or destroyed in a manner not known. The total number oi hogsheads lost la thus stated at 740. At that time each hogshead was valued at lis. 0d. Mr.

O'Connor had meantime (April 30, 1801) despatched the ship ljuepn of Knglatul from Water ford for the purpose oi taking ott the tobacco. She arrived in the Hampton Roads late in June, was warned oif bv an armed vessel of the United States and compelled to return to Duidiu. Mr. O'Couuor claims oil this count. TUB KOl'ND OF Ills CI AIM.

lie charges that his losses arc solely attributable tottic "iailure of the i nlted states oi America to maintain and cniorce the authority of the said 1 nited States in the State of Virginia and the city of Richmond, and in consequence of the failure of the said United States to suppress lie civil and military disorders that at that time existed in said State of Virginia." Mr. O'Connor pleads that 1 he never attempted any violation oi the laws of the United States; never attempted, directly or lu- directly, to violate the blockade, and never engaged with at enmity with the 1 nlted States. He has never received an.v sort of compensation for losses; and he pays for 13s. (00 interest thereon, and reasonable costs. Mr.

li. Howard, Her Britannlo Majesty's aueut, at Washington, under date March 26, "I hereby withdraw so much of this claim as is for property alleged to have been destroyed by the so-called onit derate I need not point out the ctfect ol these three lines upon Mr. (('Connor's ease. I should have mentioned that Mr. O'Connor admits the receipt oi 79 hogsheads, the difference between the number destroyed and lost (746) and the quantity purchased his agents in America.

The snip Hiawatha with 22 hogsheads, was captured in May, 1861, by the admiral of the United Mates government, and subsequently released. lie maining fifty-seven were brought home in the Queen Victoria in Jnly, the American govr i umcnt Inning granted a memorial lorwarded by Mr. O'Connor. A SWELLING CLAIM. It Is not quite clear irom Mr.

O'Connor's case, as submitted to the Secretary of the Mixed Commission, how he raises the sum claimed to 1:12. lie says lu one place that the 825 hogsheads, purchased by dialts on him, cost him In another place he puts the vnlue of the 740 hogsheads, alleged to have been lost or destroyed, at I mid in one place a date, "April 31," there being but tiilrtv days in the mouth. Other discrepancies are discoverable. pnKsrnEXT Lincoln's diplomacy. Perhaps I may conclude this note as to the only Irish claim jet advanced against the United States government by on anecdote given me by Mr.

O'Connor himself. I11 1862 some tobacco got but of Richmond In the Hiawatha. The captain was not very civil to thoudmlral, who seized his cargo and his ship and sent both to New York. Lord John Rusb. 11 was then Se -rotary for Foreign AH'airs, and Mr.

O'Connor addressed His Lordship us to ids loss. The Foreign Secretary employed Lord Lyons and a busy correspondence running over twelve months ensued. At length Lord John Russell Informed Mr. o'Connor that he had utterly failed to obtain delivery of the cargo; and Mr. O'Connor, almost in despair, indited a brief note to President Lincoln ldmself.

By re I urn of post he had a letter from no president Informing him that ho could have the shin and goods whenever he pleased. The story la in more wars than one. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Sandy Point, Straits or Maokm.ak, 1 1'atagouia, August 17, The Cnlted States steamship Osidpee, third rate, eight guns, Commander J. S.

Miner, United States Navy, commanding, arrived at this place on the 15 tli inst. from Payta and Valparaiso via Smyth's Channel, and will leavo to-morrow lor Klo Janeiro en route from the Pacific fleet to New York. The Ossipee has been employed on the Pacific since 1 April, 1867; has been flagship of the North Pacific squadrou, aud latterly (in 1871-72) was ilagsliip of Commodore D. McDougal, commanding South Pacific squadron, who, it will be remembered, viu- dlcated the honor of the American flag in his at- tack on tho Japanese forts and vessels at simonasakl, Japan, in 1884. In May iast the vessels of the South Pacific squadron separated from their rendezvous at Callao, Peru, for different points, the Ossipee being directed to proceed to and survey the harbor of Chimbote, Peru, which duty being completed she sailed lor Payta, arriving there on May 'JO.

On the morning of June 1 everybody was surprised and pleased oiv hearing the news that the Ossipee was to sail forthwith for New York. On June 6 she sailed from Pay ta for Valparaiso, aud everything was propitious for a pleasant and favor- i able passage until June 20, when, at about seven o'clock in the morning, tho alarm was given "A man overboard!" The life ouoy was let go: a bout was manned in the short space of two minutes and pulled towards the man, who, unfortunately, could i not swim: and one of his shipmates, James Ben- sou, jumped overboard and gallantly risked his I own Uie in the attempt to save that or another man. All efforts to save the poor fellow proved unsuccessful; and after a vigilant search the boat returned to the ship, picking up Benson on the way. The name of the drowned man was John K. Smith, a native of New York.

This accident, occurring, as it did, on the passage home, cast a gloom over the ship which did not soon wear otf. Nothing of further interest occurred, aud the vessel arrived at Valparaiso ou July alter tv favorable passage of tliirty days, only remaining In that place just long enough to take in stores, sail ing Horn there on July la for Klo Janeiro. Alter leaving Valparaiso head winds and bad weather were experienced, aud it took eighteen days to reach the entrance to Smyth'8 Channel, which, under more favorable circumstances, would have only taken ten days. Smyth's Channel Is a general term applied to the different straits and channels leading from tho Gulf of Pert as to the Straits of Magellan, between tho coast of Patagonia and the islands to the westward; and, although there are but two really diltlcult places for a vessel to pass through during the entire length, yet it would not bo advisable for a vessel of small steam power, or one of any great or length, to attempt to go through It In the winter months, unless in charge of a person having a good local knowledge of it. ou account of having to make an anchorage every night, and the days I during those months being very short.

Tho weather Is also a great drawback, heavy snow storms and thick weather prevailing, together with severe gusts ol wind, which are often encountered, called wllliewaws. It took the Ossipee fifteen days to reach this place from the northern entrance to the channel, the distance being only six hundred miles. Anchorages were made when possible before night set in, and some of the oiilecrs went in search of game at places where it was reported to abound, but returned empty handed, either because tho game was scarce or the shot too scattered, others obtained some fine specimens of i ferns and mosses, and iu one or two places some mussels were found which proved to be very eat- i able. The scenery is simply magnificent, the land rising to a considerable height, the lulls being thickly wooded ou the lower parts and covered with snow on the peaks. Several glaciers were also seen, but none of apparently great extent, i 'rue vessel was twice visited by natives, who (If I they may betaken as specimen Patagonlans) do not sustain tho old theory of Patagonlan giants.

They are below the medium size, copper colored, very lean, with hardly any sinews, and of moderate intelligence. Their dress, male and female, consisted of sealskins thrown over their shoulders, with no covering to tlveir lower extremities. They live iu canoes, having their whole family with tliein, the canoe being about twenty feet long by two feet wide, with a fire binning in the and their food consists principally of shellfish. The Ossipee will leave hero to-morrow for Kio Janeiro, where she expects to arrive about the loth prox. Her olllcers are: Commawler? J.

FOREIGN MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS. A German An Imperial German squadron is now lying at Plymouth, England, whence it is to sail round tiie world, as an exorcise in navigation for Its officers and men, and is not 1 expected to return before tlic Spring of 1874. it is composed of one iron-clad Irigate. the Prince Fred- I erick Charles; a corvette, the Elisabeth, an? the gunboat Albatross, built originally for the protee- tlon of lie German flag against Asiatic pirates and since converted to heavier armament. The squadron is to be strengthened In South American waters by two corvettes lor lie purpose of practising the new sailing orders.

The n'eaor zettnnp holds that distant parts of the world should occasionally see that the German tlag can at need be protected by cfllcient ships of war. DaniSh Preparations for A telegram from Copenhagen, published by the Cologne ucuette, states that tnc Danish War Minister is preparing 1 plans for the fortification of Copenhagen and seve- 1 ral other points in Denmark. According to the Hamburg Correspondent the fortifications of Copenhagen will cost from nine to ten millions of rigs- dalers, and the chiei points it is proposed to fortify are the heights of Frederlksbord and ns also another height near rtterslev, upon which two forts will be placed. While thus making ready for war the Danes do not neglect more pacific means of securing wh it they want.

I11 the six years 1859-84, the animal average wus it little over 00 to every 1,000,000 of population but 111 tie six years 1805-TO, the latest period to which detailed returns extend, the annual average was nearer to tis than (iT in 1,000,000 of the population. In the first six years the suicides of a year only I once reached 70 per 1,000,000 or population In the last three years, 180H, '00, the were 70, 73 and 70 per 1,000,000.

The range in the twelve years was from flvt per 1,000,000 in 1W to 7.t in I860, Comparing the last period of six years with the iirst, we tind that the suicides by drowning bear a larger proportion to the whole number of suicides than they did; but there is a smaller proportion of suicides by hanging than formerly, though that is still the most frequent mode of self-destruction.

The vintage this Autumn is said to be little more than one- third 1 that of average years, and, unfortunately, follows two years by 110 means remarkable for the abun- dance of their yield. Very little wine remains in stock, as the sales during the last two years have 1 been unusually heavy, especially of the first brands.

Tite LAt'RirM Greece is in inventing political comnllcatlous to an extent altogether disproportloned to her size, and It is cur i1 ous to tind her old poetic names cropping up from time to time to give a pleasant aroma to very mean things indeed. The mini of I.atirlura, historical to the old Greek chroniclers, have henceforth become a historical by-word of which Greece will not be proud, but ashamed. The story may be told in very rew words. A Frenchman an i an I Italian discovered that the mines were by no means exhausted, purchased them, and received rrom the Greek government a guarantee for their safe possession on the payment of to, francs.

They found all they expected and more, ami the once deserted Lanrium became one of main tountains of Greek prosperity. Frotp it spread ships, roads and every channel of labor and trade.

They claimed au exorbitant tax on the company, and 2,000,000 francs for back payments legally undue. The company refused to pay, and the diplomatic agents of France and Italy interfered.

At last, amid the pressure or French dlillcultles, the owners of the mines offered to sell them to the Greek government lor '1 Ills required legislative sanction, which was refused, and the Minister in consequence resigned. His successor proposes to refer the matter to the jndges, a course obviously meaningless and absurd.

Fiendish Atrocities of the "Labor Cruisers" of Australia and Fiji.

(I'rora the Melbourne Joseph Armstrong, master of the brig Carl, a British ship, i-aillng under the British flag, was, on the 16th of August, brought before the Water Police Court, Sydney, to which port he and the brig and some of the crew had been sent from Levuka, Fiji, by captain Douglas, of Her Majesty's ship Cossack. The charge made wus that or murder. Dr. J. Murray, who was appointed by the Victorian government local health olllcer at Sandhurst during a recent outbreak of smallpox there, and who Is said to have discharged the duties of that office courageously and well, gave evidence at the Police Court to the following In June, 1871, the Carl was owned by himself, and was mortgaged to a firm in Melbourne.

During the month named slio left this port lor Levuka. l)r. Murray leit in the Carl, shipping as surgeou. and, on arriving at Levuka, the captain, who brought her there from Melbourne, having left, he appointed Armstrong, who had shipped as mate, in his stead. Armstrong, as master of the brig, obtained authority to go on a "labor cruise" from Mr.

March, tho British Consul at Levuka, and the brig tiieu left, l)r. Murray going with her. They proceeded on a kidnapping cruise uuiong the islands scattered ubout in that part of the southern seas. Alter visiting a few without obtaining any "labor," they anchored off the Island of Malakolo. A boat was despatched there to look for better anchorage, whereupon some of the natives discharged arrows at the men in it.

Some canoes with natives who were trading with the Carl were round about, and on theso that vessel opened Are, "partly in for the arrows. Neatly all the natives Jumped overboard, and one of tho brig's boats picked up twelve or thirteen of them, who were put In the hold. Tho natives who were not picked up escuped to the shore, some of thoni wounded. The brig then sailed to the Solomon Group, and off Santa Anna some natives came out to trade in their canoes. When these canoes were alongside heavy pieces of iron were thrown into some oi tliem by the captain and crew.

Of course the canoes were thus upset, and the brig's boat being again lowered twelve or hit teen natives were captured and put in the hold. The pieces of iron were not wasted, as they were fastened to the brig by long ropes. This occurred about half or a quarter a mile from slio.e, to which the canoes and natives not destroyed or ttikeu returned. Off the Island of Isabella other canoes came out trading and were upset In the same way, and about ten more natives were caught. "They came on board almost voluntarily," says the doctor; and throwing the Iron care was taken that none of them were injured." All these natives were put into lie hold, and if they showed no disposition to fight thev were allowed on deck In a day or two.

At the Florida Group four or live more men were captured in the same way, and then brig sailed for Bougainville, an island dt risely inhabited warlike natives. eighty men were caught, but, unlike the others, they "resisted very much." The whole of the natives were then put Into the brig's hold, nnd some forty-eight hours alter the capture of the Bougalnvllleans they all commenced fighting about seven o'clock In the evening. Some of them endeavored to set lire to the ship; the others tried to prevent them, and that appears to have caused the fighting. "Every attempt was made to pacify the natives, but no white mau on board knew their languuKc." In about a quarter of ati hour they were lireil ou with guns and revolvers by tho whites, who had behaved inhumanly enough before, but who now thirsted for blood like wild beasts. "The firing." says Dr.

Murray, "was directed to the natives under the main hatchway. Guns and revolvers were used. Everybody fired. I am not sure whether Captain Armstrong fired. 1 think he was at the wheel.

I do not think he fired. The firing and fighting lasted all night. When the natives stopped In the least every effort was made to pacify them. The natives succeeded in loosening sonie ol the bars of the hatchway. The fight lug was kept up at intervals all nlgnt.

The Uring could not be s-alil to lmve ceased until the morning. The firing was carried on voluntarily by the white men. No positive orders were given by an.v one. The general alarm being given, every one 1 took liis firearms and proceeded towards the main hatch, of us carried arms with us, but most oltcn arms were in Hie cabin. During the niglit the friendly natives lmd been admitted on deck through the lore and art hatches.

Some few of them that could not be got up remained below. In the morndig the hatches were taken off, and the killed and wounded were taken out or tin- hold and put on deck. The captain was giving directions. About seveuty dead and wounded natives were brought on deck. All the ilougainviiie natives, with the exception or ten or twelve, were either killed or wounded.

The dead natives were thrown overboard. I could not say definitely who gave the directions. The wounded natives were thrown overboard. I never could ascertain whether positive orders were triveti for them to be thrown overboard. I think It was done with the general will of the whites.

I endeavored to get tlielr lives spared, and suggested that they should be put on an island, but the general leelmg was against doing that, There were about fltty killed, and about twenty wounded were thrown overboard while they were still alive. My attention was not directed particularly to the prisoner Armstrong, I Haw him with the general mass. could not swear positively what he was doing at the time the dead and dying were thrown overboard, was desirous or saving the lives or the wounded natives. I appoaled to the mass, not to Armstrong specially as master. The mass, or which the Captain was one, all appeared to be en- I gaged In one common object.

1 could not say with certainty that the captain heard my appeal to save the wounded, lie was in a position to hear me. I spoke loudly. Everybody seemed excited, and did not appear to know exactly what the.v were doing. No one appeared to take the lead. The throwing of the wounded overboard was ihe joint action of all.

I did not look at the wounded as a medical man, but I looked casually at some oi them. It took but a Tew moments. They must have been on deck a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes before thev were thrown overboard. The wounded and dead were not mixed. There was no discussion as to whether the wounded should be thrown overboard.

It was a spontaneous movement, I heard the wounded were to tie thrown overboard, and I went forward that I might not see it done. It was the general reeling that that was the best way to dispose or them. There was a general cry ror them to be thrown overboard. I saw some or the wounded i thrown overboard. They made no resistance.

Some of them were fled. They were tied when they were brought up. Their legs were tied together. 1 could not say how many ot the wounded were tied. 1 do not know lor what particular object 'lief were tied.

They did not resist. The hold was cletined and got in order. It was whitewashed, snd efforts were made to obliterate the powder ana shot marks. The hold was whitewashed by the captain's directions. We were probably a twenty miles from land when this occurred." In another i part oi his evidence Dr.

Murray states specifically that he assisted In the firing. None or the islands at which the brig touched are under any I European State or Power. In the cross-examination on behalf of Armstrong the witness stated that lie had been dangerously wounded by an 1 arrow, but that his mind had not been affected in consequence, and, in answer to the Bench, he stated that all the crew, except the captain, had au interest in the labor voyage. Besides tiielr wages of a mouth, the seamen got us. per head I every native they brought on to the vessel, the mate and second mate ing od.

more. Tho venture was his own, and he paid the capitation allowances. "Head money Is one of the recog- nlzed forms under which the labor trade is car- rled on. Sometimes the seamen g't no i wages, out 10s. per head for the natives i captured." On the brig's return voyage to l.evuka, Dr.

Murray, another white man, and twelve natives landed at the Island of Apia; the i brig then went to Lcvuko, where she rinded six 1 more. These eighteen seem to have been the only survivors or all the natives captured during that trip. The brig, Armstrong captain, agaiu left l.eI vuka, duly authorized to continue in the labor I trade by the Drltlsh Consul there, and picked up i Dr. Murray at Apia, in January last. fcouie "Other islands were visited, and natives wee captured by much the same method as that employed so successfully on the previous voyage.

Some of the men who were not picked up were drowned, i These loo natives were landed at Levukft. The above Is an epitome of Dr. Murray's deuce, and he was the only witness examined as I to the proceedings on board the Carl. Armstrong i was committed to take his trial on the capital charge at the next sittings of the Criminal Court In Sydney. James Clancy, one oi the brig's crew, i has "also" been committer! to take his trial for murder.

This crime was alleged by Dr. Murray to have been committed at the Caroline Group during the second voyage. He says that lauey gut into a I canoe there Which was alongside the vessel, and In which there were four or five natives. One oi thete approached him with, as he says, a hostile Intent, whereupon he shot, hint with his revolver, killing him ai once, lie also lired bullet Into the thigh of another native. Four others of the crew have been committed on the charge vt unlawfully assaulting, beating and wounding one of the inlanders.

Toe description given by persons who have visited these Islands since the cruises of the Carl or the In mentation of the relatives ami friends of the killed or captured natives is harrowing in the extreme. At Fiji the natives taken thereby the Carl have been sent temporarily to ft plantation until the British authorities have determined what to do with them. Alter giving his evidence In Sydney Dr. Murray telegraphed to Sandhurst thai he intended to return Ah ere to resume his position as local Health Officer. The local have hinted that irii" has any regard for Ills own health ho had better stop away.

Many inquiries have been made as to the reasons of Uu being still at largo, but It 13 sup posed iiy some thut la consideration of his giving Queen's evidence lus personal freedom has been guaranteed. ludeed, it is sunt tliut he holds a certificate or protection Iroin the HrltUh consul at Fiji. In onr Assembly, a few days ago. the Chief Secretary slated, in reply to a question, that tiie government, "Willi the view that Justice should done to alt parties, had taken steps to ascertain the full tacts of the case. The police and the law otllcers were put iu motion, and he matter was still in their hands.

Every effort would made to clear this colony front the foul stain it might otherwise contract in connection with t.ils matter." All the Information that the government lias obtained has been communicated to the Sydney authorities, who have been assured of tlie desire of the government of this colony to co-operate with them, and of its willingness to bear a share of the cost ol the proceedings necessary to inrther the cuds of justice. It is scarcely necessary to say that the evidence given by I)r. Murray has kindled a deep and universal feeling of regret, indignation and horror throughout Aiutri I MM, Oar only consolation is that the rolonies are iu no way responsible lor the atrocities committed. The Curl, it is true, was mortgaged to a Melbourne I llrni, bat when she cleared out of our port it was not suspected that she was about to engage in an Illegitimate trade; and we utterly repudiate Dr. Murray.

She was transformed into a slaver ai the capital of Fiji, and it was for the plantations uf unscrupulous persons in that bastard, disreputable kingdom thut she kidnapped these islanders.

These people return to Alrlca of their own choice and on their own application, satis lied they will do better and be more happy thoro than In the United States. The emigrants on their arrival receive grants of land from the' Liberlan government, and they are provided before leaving with agricultural implements and other necessaries to enable them to make a favorable start in their new homes.

The Port Elizabeth Herald of September 27 supplies the following report of the market quota- During the past fortnight the wool market 1 has been very firm, and prices of certain descriptions have had nn upward tendency, but any large business tins been checked by the small receipts from the country districts, our quotations are consequently to a great extent arrivals having been on too limited a scale to test the market. Scoured snow white has been In active demand, and the small parcels sent in the Uitenhage scourers have been immediately placed at higher rates than those last reported, and It Is probable that other classes of wool, if here, would also participate in a corresponding advance, more especially considering the satisfactory position our staple I at present holds In tho home market, several orders arc in course of execution, both lor Loudon ami the Continent, and in the present short supply even snuil odd lots are eagerly bought at full rates; to make up parcels lor shipment. Grease wool, suitable for scouring, is In steady demand at the extreme limits, which will allow of a remunerative return.

The sjcin market has slightlv Improved since the date of our last report, and sound, well-cured parcels are freely taken at full rates. Several parcels of ostrich feathers have been sold at public I auction during the past fortnight, clilctly consisting of pluckings irom domesticated birds. The deI mand Is (airly maintained, but prices are decidedly i lower. There have been no sales of Ivory timing the past fortnight. The diamond market has been dull lately and business Is almost at a standstill.

The number of diamonds offered at public auction during the past month was not nearly so large as In previous months, and ol tUoac oiTered barely oae-naH Lias been aolvi. TURKEY. Official Ups and Downs at the Golden Horn. Midhat'a New Ministry? Mahmoud Pacha in Retirement Using the Argument of Gold? A Sacerdotal Intrigue? How a Greolt Bishop Reduces His Family -Consular Authority in Rouraania -Disastrous Fires. Constantinople, Sept.

12, 1872. Your ''own correspondent," after a freshener 011 the plains of Troy and the breezy slopes of "manyfountained Ida," comes up to time "smiling." In the month's intervul what has passed 1 Some 01 the square men have been shlftod from their round holes in the Ministry and thrust Into less uncomfortable berths: but the policy of Midhat's government, so far, has been anything hut sensational, and he appears to be feeling his way with an amount of caution in which we scarcely recognize the Impetuous character either of the Mldhat of Bulgaria, who hanged a batch of thirty Russian revolutionary agents one fine morning before breakfast, or of that Mldhat of Babylon who led 1 the nomadic Arabs of Mesopotamia so hard a Ule of it that they threw up the game, folded their and settled themselves as a pastoral people. Mldhat has changed the Ministry all round; the set he has got about him now are more or less statesmen, which their predecessors were not. liut the object of the Grand Vizier has been to sink Malitnoud Pacha so low in the imperial opinion as to damn all further chance of his again Homing to the surface of public affairs. Now Mahmoud Is a shrewd man and a rich one, and when he was in power he made to lilniBclf friends aiter the manner of the unjust steward, and at the same time so warmly feathered his own nest that he is well able to weather the cold blast of Midhat's hostility.

He has bought Ills Imperial Majesty's mamma, the Sultana Vallde, and that excellent old lady pours Malimoud's praises day and night Into the Sultan's ear. He has likewise, by means of judicious ilnanclng, obtained the co-operation of Their Highnesses, tho palace eunuchs, and, by means of equally skilful Uattery, that of Ills Imperial Highness Yussuf Izzedise, the sol mint hereditary Prince of Turkey. There remained yet one personage to be bought? the highest in the realuf? and who lias not yet been tampered with in hard cash by any one but His Koyal Highness of Egypt, the future Emperor of Arabia. THE EX-MINISTER TATS TKIBTTE. Trne the ruffled spirit of this potentate has ofttimes been soothed with gifts of parrots and his temper sweetened by an offering of cocks and hens; but 110 flrand Vizier, either In or out of oltlce, has templed him with the chink of filthy lucre or made him a partkeps crtminls in that noble work of national spoliation which constitutes the statesmanship of the class or Oriental public men of whom Mahmoud Is the type.

Mahmoud has, however, belled the imperial cat. Yesterday, through the gentle persuasion of 1 Her Highness the Yalidtf, added to that of the neuter negroes ol the Imperial household, Abdul accepted a round sum of from his exMlnlster, in consideration 61 which Ills Majesty suffers bygones to be bygones. In this one laet 111a be sinnmed up the mouth's Internal politics of the Ottoman Empire. A "corp." An incident which (tax lately occurred at Aghlasso, a town 1 1 llio island of Mytelene ancient Lesbos? reveals a scandalous mode of llfa anions the upper ranks of Greek ecclesiastics. We do not know whether the Creek Church grants licenses lor prelatlcal Irregularities; but it.

appears that, with or without superior sanction, the Ill-hop of Aghiasso had for fifteen years past kept a mistress In the Episcopal Palace, by whom hi' hud hud a numerous progeny, all brought up on the premises. F. I titer from a desire to return to respect ability, or from pure ennui of the lady's socl ty, he at' first delicately suggested a separation and a removal to other quartern but she. with true Greek appreciation of lie value of dollars, refused all parley hat. was not based on the solid foundations 01 gold and silver.

Another bishop? a sympathetic spirithappened to be staying in the town, and the two right reverends, putting their heads together, resolved on a coup ae main which would bring them out of their dilemma in a cheap and satisiactory manner. This was to have recourse to the police. They accordingly despatched a number of zaptiehs (armed policemen) to. the Episcopal Palace, with instructions toexpel from thence the motherand her children. They found her prepared for battle and determined to hold her ground to the last, one of the zaptiehs, thinking to frighten her Into submission, fired oif his rifle at random.

The bullet struck her eldest sou, lad of bixteeu. and killed linn on lie Hpot. AN INDEPENDENT Another incident, also oi a somewhat sensational character, has arisen within these last few days to ruffle the monotonous placidity which has surrounded diplomatic existence for some mouths past. A Greek, resident at Ibrallu, had, It appears, repeatedly disregarded the "Imitations" of the Hellenic Vice consul, Mr. Andonopoulous, to present himself at the Vloo Consulate to answer certain charges, of which the particulars have not reached us, upon which Mr.

Andonopoulous, seeing his Vice Consular authority set at nought, sent forth his cavasses, seized iiis rebellious subject and placed him under arrest in the Consulate. The Roumanian police, however, interfered, and, claiming to be the only competent executive authority in such cases In the Principality, demanded that the arrest should be made' In due form through their instrumentality. To this Mr. Andonopoulous, who has been loiig enough at tbraila to appreciate the efficiency of the Ronmanlan police, demurred; and, having his bird In hand, which was all he wanted, declined to see the advantage of letting him flutter back Into the bush lor the sake of being recaptured more artistically by the machinery of the Prelect of Police. This view" of the case on the part of the Greek Vice Consul appears to have considerably irritated His Excellency Ihe Prefect; at all events, his judgment, ir not his temper, gave ay under the trial, and, apparently losing sight of the fact that the consular Ulcers in that Principality act under GXPqMitnr from the Sublime Porte, ordered he arrest of Mr.

Andon ponlous, who seems to have been more successful than the Prefect lu maintaining his equanimity under this Indignity. He communicated promptly with through the Hellenic consulate General of Bucharest, and the matter Is now In process of arrang the execution of the order of arrest having been meanwhile suspended by the Koumellun Minister of Justice.

It had been preceded a short tluie before by another large conflagration at Scutari; and as I write now I hear the booming the alarm guns and Ihe wild shouts of the tonloumbiulgcca, announcing that the sacred precincts 01 Eyouh arc bcln Invaded by the devouring element THE WRilCK OF THE ISA.

Captivity of nil Kntflish Strnnifr'n Crew Among (lie Aruht of the Ilrd Men Const. A sad story has reached London, by letter rrotn Aden, dated September 27, written by Captain K. Garden, of the iron screw steamer Isa (about tons), owned by Messrs. Wilkinson, Watts of London, giving an account of tiie total loss of the vessel ofl the Island of Socotra, In the Ked Sea, oil June 'if. A week after the ship went ashore the Sheik of the island, with loo armed men, arrived from Tamarada, the capital, and he wanted to tako away the cargo of rice, which the Captain refused to allow.

Mo thereupon stopped tne supply of fresh water and rood, which bad to Ihj brought lour miles. the 23d 01 July, the cabin being no longer habitable, they were compelled to abandon the ship. The crew lived in caves and holes in the rocks for fifteen days, suffering intensely from the heat. The Sheik now came down again with soo men (armed with swords, daggers and spears) and ir.o camels, and i old the Captain he hud come to take charge of the ship and cargo. He then went on board tho ship and landed all the rice and plundered her throughout, also demanding the Captain's money.

Captain Garden gives further details In theso words: "Ho compelled mo fo go to Tamarada, saying he would find me provisions, and when tho monsoon changcd would tind a ship to take me and the crew to Aden. We arrived at Tamarada on August II, all our shoes worn out and feet very sore and blistered, as we had to walk the gieater part ol the distance, about thirty-five miles, over rocky ground, with fen bags of rice lor food. We had a rough stone building given us to live in, from whence the natives dally stole a good deal of our clothes and other At night they threw stones Into our sleeping place, to our great discomfort. Wo lived on rice, and an occasional sheep, which we had to purchase wltu sheets and linen, lltlmately, I and the first, mate were allowed to go to the ship for a supply of rice, tint It was rciused by the natives. I he Sheik gave orders to stop the supplies, and I went several times to the house, but he said he could give us none.

The rice being nearly exhausted. I sent the first mate and the six strongest hands of the ship for a fresh supply, to return In the lifeboat with it. so that we could communicate with the first ship that hove In sight. On the morning of the loth an Arab told us, In very good KngUs, that an English man-of-war, called the Hrlton, was at anchor at Itandcr Pellshl, and that he was her Interpreter, and hud been sent to bring ns on board, as he accidentally heard the night before that au tngiiab stup atw Were at uiuuuua. The Sheik had file 1 to otir presence a secret from the man-of-war, ami I believe he to I make away with us by st irvatiou or by sending i u.s in a bungalow to trie coast of Arabia.
