that to have all the details of her connec tion with Gully dragged to the light at the inquest Avas very hard to say the least of it, more especially when it led to nothing. Of course avc all imagined the Government had got holdtof some cine, and Avere leading up to some horrid and atrocious crime, abor tion, murder, and I don't know Avhat, but ■< nit all turned out to be nothing more ? k than a story in every day life, where k finds some mischief still for idle folks to do, as the dear departed Dr. Watts (bless him !) Avould say, Aye couldn't help feeling rather indignant at the notion that perhaps some day the Ctoavii might set us on a chair before a jury, and turn us inside out, and that avc might cut a figure in the daily papers as infernally debauched repro bates, and Ire made the subject of thumb nail sketches and dirty riddles, and adorn the frontpage of the '"Illustrated Police NeAVs." Charles Bravo, by the way, Avas not a Jcav, although you 'might think he Avas from his name. He Avas a Turner, but took the name of his step-father, Joseph Bravo. The Bravos are an old Jamaica family, closely allied with the DeCastros. One of the family, Mary Bravo, Avho Avould be a cousin I fancy of the dead man, married twice, and is now a Mrs Graham, somewhere in Ncav Zealand. The Earl of Winchelsea and Nottingham avlio has developed a horrid bad taste for rhyming and is always sending bad verses to the papers, Avhieh in an amateur is inexcusable, has sent an epigram to the "Morning Post," Avhicli he calls " Jerusalem v. Balkan; :" '■In the days of "the Master' 'tis very Avcll known, None so sinless Avas found as to cast the first stone; They Avent out one by one, and they left Him alone. Then said He to the woman, none else standing hy, ' Where are these thine accusers—departed, and why? ' Hath no man condemn'd thee 1 then neither do I. 'Go ! and sin thou no more !' But had ' Balham' been there, With their ' coroner's law' and ' Pceksnitflan' air, And their foregone conclusions, loose, rash, and unfair. With a parcel of counsel that never agree, Save in damaging truth in return for a fee ; Instead of THE oxk, they'd have cast stones at three." Referring to this case, the " World" says : —" The inquiry occupied twenty-three Avorking days, on each of Avhieh Sir Henry James Avas personally present. The total of the expenditure ranges from ten to fifteen thousand pounds. Sir Henry James re ceived a heavy fee with his brief, and a hun dred guineas a day. Mr Murphy, Avho Avas called in on the 17th July, received, in addi tion to his retainer, fifty guineas a day, and a like sum Avas paid to Mr Serjeant Parry, avlio came into the case on July 22nd. The three juniors received one hundred and thirty guineas, and the two others twenty five guineas per diem. To Mr George LoAvis, avc understand, a fee of a. thousand guineas Avas paid for his exertion in the case from beginning to end. The Attorney-General, Mr Gorst, and Mr Po land being counsel for the Treasury, the fees Avere not marked on their briefs. The total of Avitnesscs examined Avas forty-three, in addition to Avhieh there Avas an enormous mas's of documentary evidence introduced."

San Francisco, September 13. ANN ELIZA PUTS THE BUMS ON BRIG HAM.

Axx Er.iz.v has been rather rough on the old man. Brighain did'nt shell out the dollars for alimony that the Divorce Courts awarded the disconsolate Ann, and she went for Brighani's household fixings to the tune of 10,000 dollars. The bums swooped down on the bald-headed old polygamisl. like avolvcs on the fold, and looted his rancho of all his goods and chattels, horses, cows, etcetera. The prophet now squats down on a camp stool, has no milk in his porridge, and cusses the day he was sealed unto Ann Eliza. MOULTON AND BEECHER.

Ilenrv Ward is not to be treed by Moulton. The latter brought a suit, for malicious prose cution against the Brooklyn gospel man, and went for his dollar-bag for damages to his reputation (as if he had much to lose) and for Avounded feelings, and a big washing bill for till Hie nose-rags he spoiled over his attempts to patch up that exceedingly sorrowful business with mother Tiidcn. Beccher's counsel have now served notice of an application to change the venue, on the ground that it is impossible to get an impartial jury in Brooklyn that Avill do the fair thing by his client. AN ELDERLY FEMALE TRIES TO SNEER

GORTSCHAKOFF.

An elderly female, who is described as evi dently "moving in fashionable circles," has been trying to make a ghost of the great Russian, Prince GortshakofF. She stationed herself at the door of the residence of Prince Michael Gortschakoff at Schauzenberg, near 'Berne and waited until Gortschakoff came out, when she fired a pistol at, him, and missed. Gortsy rushed forward and embraced her energetically, and succeeded in inducing bet to let go the shooter. He then asked lier what she meant by such duriied fooling around there with dangerous Aveapons. She was placed under restraint, and interrogated, and made no disclosures. It is surmised fhat ' She and her family suffered some Bcrsccution in her own country, and that she tvas seeking io Wipe out Gortsy in revenge.

A GREAT SWELL SWINDLE. lie was an " Eyet.ci.han Markis," and he used to go to cavontin around of evenings with a banjo, doing operatic eatervvaultmg under the balconies of the senorilas. lie had dropped a pile of dollars on the " green,"andgencrahy was "gone whore the woodbine twineth." His name was Gniscppc Mantegogga, Sixth Marquis of Hischattiaho. and he made up his mind to do a Jiltle square forgination. He was a favorite, of old victor Emmanuel, and one day, after Victor and ho had concluded a nice, quiet i;amc of poker in the back parlor, Guiseppe, which is Eyctalian for Joe, walked out and presented a piece of paper bear ing Victor's sign-Manuel to the aide whose busi ness it was to verify the King's list, and some times sign for him when the old so v. had hoisted in more cora-Avatci- than was good for him. The aide never suspected that Joe avus trying to get the weather-guage of him, for Joe said the Icing wanted a few dollars j nst to square a big account from his tailor, and had asked him to do the square thing for a friend by raising the «limes on the quiet. The aide put down his autograph and Joe went and raised §1,000,000 -ieht away from the Bank of Florence. By and by Tie. t, rot the bill, and then ho swore hw?o. and gave the poor aide i be bullet. The Martinis has since fallen into ihe hands of a gentleman ill Mac, and has .just 'heen sentenced to eight years geological study. This is rather rough oh Joe.

PKVIVALIST SCANDAL.—HOW MOODY GOT ,Tr?E WEATHER GUAGE OF

Moody andSankeylmve dissolved partnership in the revival biz, which appears to have been a nrottv good spec so far as tint former is con cerned. They have always given out that they took neither purse nor scrip, and were satisfied so long as their hotel hoard bills were paid, and their washerwomen. When tljey came to ,\cw York they opened in the Revival business to o-ood houses, and had bully time, netting a gootl many thousand dollars at the end of the per formances. It Avas found i hat Moody had clawc cl hold of'tilOO dollars for himself, besides 300 dols. more for "consequential expenses, and nan only given his '-friend and fellow worker in tho cause, a paltry 1000 dollars. Poor Sankeys dander viz at this, and he appealed to Moody to Ao the fair straight thing, and share alike. Allot- some talk, they went to slanging in a nice •v,volherh- way, Sankey threatening to let out on his friend, hut the latter ''rv/, up" and squarely informed the " slngiugpilgriW .U.jai ii be whs lit satisfied with the 1000 dols. he might leave it :;igm •nv.iv, because it would he easy to get a siijgcst to do the tooling biz. just as well as Sank for oO dote a month and board, ami lind his QYi'n T-irik«C organ. Sankey now threatens to go into the Courts, but the Chicago Committee are trying to sraiare things. There is also some scandal about Moody and a " \oung lady mov ing in the most fi.shiti.sai.le religious circles, but ]H wants contirmatioji.

IJOSS TWEED TRAPPED AT LAST. This notorious swindler is at last run to earth. It was found in July las! that ho had "vamosed the ranch," y.f ITavanah, but his trail was struck at Santiago de Cuba. The American Govern ment induced General .lovelier to agree to sur render "the boss," but the latter smellecl a rat and escaped to I Vigo, Spain, sailing under the mine of Secor, in tho sailing ship Carmen. The Spanish Government were no til led by telegraph of the fact, and replied that Tweed would be arrested on arrival and handed over under the Extradition Treaty. AV'hen the Carmen hove in eight of Vigo, on Sept. Oth, she was boarded by the Governor of Portovedia and secret police, who recognised and arrested Tweed from the description furnished, and an accomplice pas sing under the name of Hunt, who is believed to bo his secretary. Mr Adee, American Cnarge d'Ail'airs, has visited the Spanish Minister at Laguardia, and "the boss" Avill be scut to

Havanah on the 21st hy the mail steamer. Truly the telegraph in these days is a terror to eA_ doers. A SHIP STRIKES AN ICEBERG AND FOUNDERS. The steamer Arbitrator, Avhieh left New Orleans on August 12, for Liverpool, struck an iceberg, and foundered in a few minutes. The captain and crew had time to take to the boats, and Avere saved by the brig Baltic hound for London. Tho loss is about §350,000. A SHIP BURNT AT SEA. The Liverpool ship San Rafael from Birken head to Valparaiso with coals, was burnt off Cape Horn. The crow and passengers took to the boats, and after undergoing fearful priva tions one party avci-c picked up by the Yorkshire from Melbourne. The long-boat with Captain MeAdams, his wife, the carpenter, four seamen, andthreeboys,made Now Year's Island,abarren island, near Capo Horn. The American Mis sionary Society's yawl, Allen Gardiner, was crossing about tho Straits of Magellan Avhen Indians brought news that the starved bodies of the nine persons had been found on the island mentioned. One of the Indians Avorc some of the clothes of the dead marked "Eve, Liver pool." When the Indians found them two of the men were just breathing and only able to crawl along the gronnd, but they soon died. The bodies of the others Avere found lying about iv a fearfully emaciated condition, and some were frozen to death. ANOTHER HARROWING STORY OF THE SEA. The steamer Frisia has brought, to New York the captain, two passengers, and one of the crew of the Spanish brig Joquina abandoned at sea. The Joquina was sighted helplessly drifting by the Frisia, and with signals ot! distress Hying. On boarding her, four persons Avere found on board in a dreadful state of emaciation from starvation. The Joquina left San Domingo for Havre on June 16th, and when only a few days out, the mate and five of the crew fell sick and died. There then only remained the captain, one seaman, and two passengers, who were i unable to manage the vessel, so that she drifted like a log for .15 days. The provisions were soon exhausted, and the four persons sustained life on beans and water, but; their sufferings were so great that they prayed for death to relieve them. Tho Frisia was unable to bring on the Joquina. TERRIBLE FIRES.—HUNDREDS OF FAMILIES RUINED. There has been a lire which has destroyed a block between Brannan, Townscnd, and Third and Fourth-streets, and has inflicted immense loss and misery upon many hundreds of poor families. The loss is estimated at 700,000 dols. FIRE LOSS 2,000.000 DOLLARS. At St.'Hyaeinthc, Canada, a terrible tire broke out on September 2nd, near the Post-oflice, and swept off tho entire business port ion of the town, GOO houses being destroyed. The high wind carried the tiro along so rapidly that it was im possible to save anything. The Quebec and National Banks, Post-offices, Court-house, facto ries, stores, &c, were devoured with lightning speed, tho houses being of wood. Hundreds of families arc destitute and starving. YELLOW JACK IN NEW YORK. Yellow Jack has fixed his ghastly claws upon the New Yorkers, breaking out in the Alber marlc Hotel, a fashionable house, corner of Tweiity-fourth-strcet and Broadway. Two per sons, recently from Savannah, were attacked and removed to the hospital. There is a sheer in the perambulating suits of tailors' fixings that congregate in that locality, and the Health Board are adopting stringent measures to pre vent the spread of the infection. THE CENTENNIAL ROWING MATCHES. In the rowing matches on the Schuylkill, Phila delphia, in the four-oared outrigger race between a Thames and New York crew, the London crew won by 10 seconds. The Halifax crew beat the Parisians. In the single scull race between Marlm and Thomas, of London, and Coulter, of Pittsburgh, Harlm Avon easily. Pat Luther, of Pittsburg, and Higgins, ot London, rowed, and the former won, but as the Britisher claimed a foul-tho race will have to bo rowed over again. Brayley. of St. John's, whipped Green, of Lon don, in a single scull race. THE NOBLE RED MAX. You must have had some experience of Avars againgt savages, and you can consequently sym pathize Avith us in our troubles with tho red skins. General Sherman, who is assisted by Sheridan, lias determined to " whip the Ihdians into a lasting peace," but there is yet a great, deal of work to be done before that is accomplished. The trail of the Sioux has been followed to Little Missouri, but here it became evident that, the trail diverged in A'arious directions. Meantime the season is so far advanced that preparations are being made to put the troops into winter quarters. Much difficulty is experienced in keeping up supplies. A WATERY HORROR TX KANSAS. A huge water spout lately burst over the head of Medicine, Creek, Kansas, inundating Hill Creek Bottom, sweeping away houses, fences, cattle, and human beings in the Hood. A Mrs Brighton (wife of the car-robber who broke .jail at Hay's City last Sirring) her two children, and a Mrs Green, were curried away in the mighty rush of Avaters. In fifteen minutes from the bursting of the spout, an angry, roaring seething llood ovcrswept the country. Mrs Brighting heard the coming horror, and seizing one child, made for the high ground, but remembering that she had left one little one helpless behind, her motherly instincts impelled her to return, taking the other child in her arms. She had snatched up tho child and started to run, when the flood struck her. 1 ler corpse was aft ervvards found lodged against a drift, the mother still clasping the children she loved in a loving em brace.

CRICKET.—THE VISIT OF THE ENGLISH ELEVEN.

Mr J. BKNNETT, the agent, of Lillywhite's team of English cricketers, now on their Avay to Australia, arrived in Auckland by the Ladybird yesterday. He lias taken up his quarters at the Victoria Hotel Avhere he may lie seen during his stay. His object of course is to arrange with the Auckland committee the terms on which the English men will extend their New Zealand trip to this city. Mr Dennett has been successful in arranging terms with Ivercargill, Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, and Nelson, and avc apprehend little difficulty Avill be experienced here. Some months ago an outline of the terms on Avhieh the eleven were willing to come was sent to Auckland by Mr Bennett, and then the committee unanimously undertook the re sponsibility of agreeing to the conditions, Avhieli Avere that the eleven should re ceive a lixed sum of £(10, and the gate money at the matches. It was not known whether the agent; claimed all other rights to the ground, including sale of booths, etc., but Mr Bennett says thai the terms must include these to cover the expenses of the trip, and leave a margin of profit to Ihe promoters. It is to be hoped that our well-to-do merclmnts and citizens avi'll come down nobly on (In; present occa sion to enable thepeople of Auckland to have the treat of witnessing the magiiiliceiit play off the strongest eleven that has ever left the English shores." The team left Eng land on the 21st September, by the P. and 1). steamer Poonah. It consists of the fol lowing Avell-known players : Lilly white and ChartAVOod (Sussex), Jupp, Pooley, and Southerton (Surrey), Greenwood, Lliyett, Allan, Hill, Arniitage, and Emmett (York shire), Alfred Sluiav, Sclby, ami Wild, (Not tingham). Mr Bennett called at Tarauaki on the way up, aud it is probable that that province avi'll be included in the trip. The programme is as folhnvs : They play at Ade laide on or about November 14, then go via Melbourne to Sydney and Xewcastle,getting back to Melbourne in time to play on De cember 2b', thence inland to Ballarat, Ararat, Sandhurst, and Geclong. After- AVards they Avill do the Ncav Zealand tour, arriving in Dunedin about January 10.

Mr Bennett has to-day visited all the cricket grounds round Auckland, and it is probable that if terms can be come to with the Racing Club, the matches Avill come, oil' at Ellcrslic rare-course..
