MISS BURDETT COUTT'S RELIEF OF
DISTRESS.
----------
THE royal mail steamer Canada, Captain GRACE,
which arrived at Queenstown for [sic] Liverpool
yesterday, on her outward voyage to Halifax and
Boston, carried a number of passengers of a class
who do not usually travel in the mail steamers. Beside
30 first class passengers, the Canada brought with
her from Liverpool 127 emigrants, weavers from
Spitalfield, London, with their families, and orphans
from St. Giles Refuge. There embarked yesterday at
Queenstown, under the care of the Rev. M. LEADER,
P.P., twenty-three persons, consisting of fishermen
and their families. Thus there were in all a hundred
and fifty emigrants, who are being sent to Halifax at
the sole cost of Miss BURDETT COUTTS. Besides
defraying the cost of passage, which was we
understand granted on favourable terms by Sir
SAMUEL CUNARD, Miss COUTTS provided a complete
outfit for each of the objects of her bounty. The
parties selected were either entire families or orphans,
by which prudent step it will be at once perceived
that while the emigrants obtain all the benefit of going
to a country where labour is valuable, there are none
left behind to suffer by their loss. Previous to the
departure of the English portion of the emigrants, they
were addressed at a meeting held for the purpose,
and informed that a party of Irish would meet them in
Queenstown, and they were appealed to meet their
fellow emigrants as friends and brothers. We believe
there is, no doubt, that this will appeal will be fully
responded to, and justice done to the generosity of a
lady who sets the principle of Christian charity above
the prejudice of sect or nation. The remarkable act of
benevolence which we have mentioned is of a
character that could not escape notice, but it has been
accompanied with a number of traits that enhance its
value. We would willingly mention them, but that we
understand Miss COUTTS is averse to any publicity
that can be avoided of those good deeds in which she
finds such a noble employment for her wealth.

POLICE OFFICE--THREE O'CLOCK.
----------
(Before Messrs. CANTILLON, MULLAN and ORME, R.M.)
A LITTLE fellow named James Sweeny was charged by Mr.
Chabrel, Patrick-street, with stealing this morning 2s 6d. from
the till of his desk. Prosecutor, it appeared, took the prisoner
into his employment as porter this day fortnight, and had no
reason for suspecting his honesty for the first week. Last
week, however, sums of money were missed four different
times, and this caused the employer to keep a look out. At
last, being determined, for his own sake as well as for the
character of the other persons in the place, to discover the
pilferer, prosecutor to-day went up stairs and watched from
the wareroom those going in the direction of the desk. He,
while so engaged, saw the prisoner make for it and take 2s.
6d. out of the money placed therin. It was probable he would
have taken more but that the persons in the back part of the
establishment were coming out to the front of the shop, and
the prisoner was therefore unable, though from the jingling of
the money he seemed anxious to take more. The 2s. 6d. was
found on the prisoner's person when taken into custody. As it
was his first offence, Sweeny, who pleaded guilty, was sent
to gaol for one month at hard labour.
A similar term of imprisonment was placed on Ellen
Donovan, who was charged with stealing some articles of
wearing apparel and bedding from the house of Mrs. Smith,
Curtis'-lane.

MASSACRE OF THE CREW OF THE PENGUIN
--------------
PLYMOUTH, TUESDAY.--News has reached this port, by a
private letter, of the massacre of an officer, 12 seamen,
and two marines, of H.M.S. Penguin, 5, screw gun-vessel,
Lieut. J. G. G. M'Hardy, employed in the suppression of
the slave trade on the east coast of Africa. It appears
that, in September last, while the Penguin was in the
Mozambique Channel, four boats were detached from her
for the purpose of watching some slavers along the coasts,
after the usual manner of British cruisers. It was the
intention to pick them up again at Fort Durnford, about 60
miles south of the line. The boats were, however, blown so
far north by the trade winds as 1,200 miles from where they
started, and arrived on October 25 at an Arab village called
Bunder Feluk, near the entrance of the Red Sea. There, on
landing to replenish their expended supply of provisions and
water, they were set upon by the natives, and the whole of
the two boats' crews massacred. The names of the
unfortunate deceased are :--Sub-Lieutenant Fountaine, W.
Mitchell (quartermaster), J. Carpenter (gunner's mate), J.
Kemp, H. Stote, C. Kennedy, J. Watson, J. Childs, M.
Jolley, R. Heath, H. Williams, and J. Pratt, seamen, and G.
Hotton and C. Foley, marines. When the news left the
Penguin had arrived on the spot to make reprisals, and had
secured 20 of the murderers, whom it was resolved to hang.

MURDER OF A NAVAL OFFICER AND
FOURTEEN SEAMEN.
--------------------
The Western Morning News gives the following
from a private letter, which furnishes some particulars
of the fearful tragedy recently enacted on the Arabian
coast, not far from the entrance to the Red Sea. It
appears that some time in the month of September,
whilst the Penguin, Lieutenant G. G. M'Hardy, tender
to the Narcissus, the flagship of Admiral Sir Baldwin
Walker, at the Cape of Good Hope, was in the
Mozambique Channel, four boats were detached
was the intention of the vessel to pick them up at a
place called Fort Durford, about sixty miles south of
the line. On the vessel arriving there, however, nothing
could be heard of the boats. As the wind was blowing
steadily and strongly towards the north it was
determined to cross the line in search of them, and
when the Penguin was about thirty miles north of the
line, at a place called Brava, news of the missing
boats was obtained. The boats had been seen there,
but as they could not get in by reason of the heavy
surf they had gone on before the wind towards the
north. The natives did not know of any landing place
in that direction within 600 miles. When the boats left
the ship they only had eleven days' provisions, and
therefore so soon as the Penguin got news of them,
she followed in their track with all possible speed, and
arrived at a place called Bunder Feluk on the 25th of
October. At this place the Penguin learned the sad
news that the whole of the crew of the two boats,
fifteen men in all, had been cruelly murdered by the
natives. So far as could be learnt the boats' crews,
finding themselves short of food and water on the
Arabian Sea, and unable to return, landed with the
intention of replenishing, and then making the best of
their way to Aden, on the Red Sea. They had gone in
their boats, from the time they left the Penguin in the
Mozambique Channel, over upwards of 1,200 miles.
No doubt their intention was, had they reached Aden,
to have come back to the Mozambique Channel on
the change of wind. They landed at the Arab village,
named Bunder Feluk, to obtain water and provisions.
The natives did not at first appear hostile, but on the
contrary, invited them to come on shore.
Sub-Lieutenant Fountaine, who was in charge of the
party, did not deem it prudent, however, to risk all at
once, although probably nearly famished with thirst.
He therefore went in the small boats, with a crew of
seven in each. The cutter was lying on the beach. As
soon as the men touched the shore they were fallen
upon and murdered by the natives. What became of
the other two boats is not mentioned.
The following are the names of the killed:--
Sub-Lieutenant Fountaine, William Mitchell
(quartermaster), John Carpenter (gunner's mate),
John Kemp (A.B.), Henry Stote (A.B.), Charles
Kennedy, James Watson, John Childs, Martin Jolley,
Richard Heath, Henry Williams, Arthur Matthews,
John Pratt, and two marines named George Hotton
and Charles Foley. Mrs. Mitchell, the wife of the
quartermaster, we understand, resides at Torpoint.
John Kemp is the son of a waterman of Mutton Cove,
Devonport. On the arrival of the Penguin, and the
foregoing particulars having been ascertained, the
officers in charge communicated with the native
chieftan, and demanded that the murderers should be
given up, or, in default, to prepare for the destruction
by fire and sword of all the vessels, houses, and
people of the place. After some delay, twenty of the
murderers were given up to the commander of the
Penguin, who was told that the others had escaped,
or they also would have been sent. It was soon
determined to hang these, as an example, to deter
their countrymen from indulging in similar conduct. At
the date of the last advices, about the third week in
October, the murderers were awaiting their execution,
which having been finished, the Penguin would leave
that part of the coast. John Carpenter had only
recently come into the Penguin from the Narcissus,
and on this particular occasion took the place of one
who was on the sick list when the expedition started.
The Penguin had recovered some of the carbines of
the murdered men, but had not discovered any of the
bodies.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT TIVOLI STATION.
--------------
YESTERDAY, in Courtney's-lane, Mr. Coroner Gallwey
held an inquest into circumstances attending the death
of a pointsman named Timothy Sweeney, the
particulars of which appeared in Monday's
Examiner. The evidence was as follows:--
John Johnston, fireman, stated that on Monday
morning he was on the engine of the good's train
from Cork which arrived at the Tivoli station about
20 minutes past nine intending to attach a truck of
rails ; deceased at the time was near the track and
signalled to have the engine come back to it ; witness
had the break [sic] on the engine and could have
stopped it immediately ; deceased gave the signal to
come close, he standing at the time near the truck ;
the buffers of the engine were also close to it ; as the
engine approached very slowly deceased, instead of
getting out on the road as he should have done,
remained where he was when he gave the signal ; the
buffers then met, and so lightly that witness did not
consider that any accident could have occurred ; the
driver called out to know if all were right, but
receiving no answer called out again and then with
witness jumped off the engine and found deceased
lying on the line between the rails, apparently dead.
Witness, in reply to the coroner, said that deceased
was not in his proper place when the accident
occurred.
To Mr. Jameson--The rails projected over the
buffer.
William Lawless, engine-driver, deposed that on
the morning in question he told Sweeney, on arriving
at Tivoly [sic], that he was going to clear the siding,
to which deceased replied that he (witness) would
have to bring the truck off himself as there were no
men there to do so ; went in on the siding, and when
nearing the truck saw Sweeney cross in upon the
siding where the truck was ; when the engine came
up so close as to allow the truck be attached witness
stopped, being under the impression that deceased
was about attaching it ; not receiving an answer to his
question "if all were right" he leaped off the engine
and found Sweeney lying between the rails ;
Sweeney was dead at the time.
Dr. James Curtis described the nature of the
wounds deceased received. All the bones from the
left eye to the back of the head were broken ; these
injuries were the cause of death.
The Cornoner having summed up the evidence,
The Jury consulted, and after a good deal of
deliberation returned the following verdict:--
"That the said deceased Timothy Sweeney was
killed on the 19th of January, 1863, having been
crushed between a waggon and engine on the
Youghal and Queenstown Railway, at Tivoli, in the
borough of Cork, and we think the Company
censurable for allowing the iron rails to project over
the front of the waggon. We strongly beg to
recommend the family of the deceased to the
consideration of the company."
The Coroner hoped that the company would act
on the recommendation of the jury.
Mr. T. L. Jameson, solicitor, and Mr. Trew,
assistant-secretary, watched the proceedings on
behalf of the company.

MILITARY OUTRAGE AT SPIKE ISLAND.
------------------
THE following rather startling facts have been
communicated to us by a perfectly reasonable
authority. On Friday last, a young man named Ahern,
acting for the fresh meat contractor, was supplying
meat to a party of the 11th regiment in the barracks
of Spike Island, when they attacked him in a most
ferocious manner, beating, and cutting him in several
places. Not satisfied with these assaults, a cry was
raised that they should hang him, and some of them
immediatley procured a rope, fastened it to a beam
which ran across the store and made a noose at one
end. We are informed that this noose was actually
three times either round or nearly round the man's
neck, but he, being a powerful young fellow, each time
succeeded in thrusting it from him. The noise of the
struggling and beating attracted attention of some
parties outside, who interfered and prevented the
perpetration of further injury. Application was
subsequently made to the Major commanding, and,
after AHERN had indentified six of his assailants, that
officer promised that they should be tried by
Court-martial. Since then he has changed his opinion
upon the point, and states that they must be tried by
civil tribunal. It seems curious that a military court
should have no power over offences committed by
soldiers in barracks. At all events it is hoped that due
care may be taken to prevent the repetition of such
outrages in future. We understand there is abundant
evidence to corroborate the statement of AHERN as to
the treatment he has received.

CURIOUS CHARGE.--At the police-office, this morning,
a woman named Eliza Roche summoned Mr. Frederiek
Hoffman, professor of languages, South Mall, for
unlawfully detaining her child, a boy about ten years
of age. She stated that she had been a servant of Mr.
Hoffman's, and that the boy used to be in and out there,
and used occasionally to get his dinner there. She had
now left Mr. Hoffman's and that gentleman refused to
give up her son and detained him entirely against his
will. In reply to the bench, Mr. Hoffman said that the
woman was not the mother of the child, but its aunt,
and in proof of this produced the child's baptismal
register, which stated that the child was the son of one
Margaret Roche, whom Mr. Hoffman stated was
married to Eliza Roche's brother. He also produced a
letter from the father of the child, thanking him for his
kindness in keeping and providing for the child. The
boy, who seemed very intelligent for his years, then
came forward and said that Eliza Roche was only his
aunt, and that he would prefer being with Mr. Hoffman
who was always very kind to him. Mr. Mullan, the
presiding magistrate, said that, under the circumstances,
the bench would not interfere in the case.

MALLOW QUARTER SESSIONS--FRIDAY.
------------
(Before Mr. D. R. KANE, Q.C.)
The Guardians of the Poor of Mallow Union v.
Robert Harrold.
MR. WATERS, instructed by Mr. O'Connor, appeared
for the guardians. The process was for recovery of
£54 4s. from the defendant, who had been adjudged
by the magistrates at the mallow Petty Sessions (after
receiving the information on oath of the mother, and
hearing corroborative evidence) to be the father of an
illegitimate child, under the age of fourteen years,
receiving relief in the Mallow Union Workhouse. The
action was taken under the late "Poor Law
Amendment Act," 25 and 26 Vic., c. 83., sec. 10,
which gave the guardians the power of recovering from
the person who had been adjudged to be the father of
an illegitimate child, the cost of its maintenance while in
the workhouse, and under 14 years of age.
The Chairman stated he would not at present hear
the case as the construction to be put upon the 10th
section of the Act had given rise to very serious doubts
; he would adjourn the case until January, 1863,
Sessions, when he hoped some settled rule would be
laid down to regulate the mode of procedure in these
cases. he therefore declined to hear any evidence, or
go into the case at present.
Mr. Wm. M. Johnson, who was instructed by Mr.
Moriarty, appeared for the defendant.
Same v. Michael Ambrose.
Mr. Charles J. Sugrue, instructed by Mr. O'Connor,
appeared for the guardians in this case, the process in
which was for recovery of £15 for the maintenance of
defendant's two illegitimate children under like
circumstances as in the foregoing case, with the
exception that no order of adjudication had been made
by the magistrates, who, acting on the opinion of the
law officers of the Crown, had merely received the
information on oath of the mothers of the children, but
neither heard corroborative evidence, or made an
order.
Mr. O'Connor said he had brought this case forward
merely for the purpose of having the opinion of this
court as to whether or not the jurisdiction to hear the
corroborative evidence and make an order adjudging
defendant to be the father of these children belonged
to the magistrates at Petty Sessions or to the Chairman
of Quarter Sessions.
The Chairman stated he should also adjourn this
case until the Kanturk Sessions.
Mr. Michael O'Shaughnessy, instructed by Mr.
Moriarty, appeared for the defendant.

paid right through to their destinations well into Canada. Palmerston
also arranged jobs for them with various acquaintances in Canada and
that there would be a handout of money when they arrived at their place

The paper said "servitors" which was a term used for attendants, or what
we would call bridesmaids.
: This arrival was the subject of one of Tennyson's potboilers
: 'Sea King's daughter from over the seas, Alexandra.
: Saxon and Norman and Dane are we,
: but Danish all in our lover for thee -Alexandra!
Yes, that was in the paper too, and I thought about transcribing it, but
decided it was too long and not really very interesting. Not as
interesting, for example, as another story I found once about another
daughter from over the sea, who dressed as a sailor and went to sea to
follow her lover to America.

From The Cork Examiner, 11 December 1862 -
It is announced (but not officially) that the second
daughter of Prince Christian of Denmark, the Princess
Sophie Marie Frederica Dagmar, aged 15, the sister
of the Princess Alexandria, will be affianced to the
Hereditary Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia, the
Cesarewitch, aged 19 ; and that their confirmation is
postponed because, previous to the ceremony, they
will enter the Greek-Catholic Church.

DUBLIN COMMISSION--YESTERDAY.
------------
The Right Hon. Justice Keogh and Hon. Justice Christian
sat at half-past ten o'clock this morning, at the Court-house,
Garden-street, and proceeded with the trial of prisoners.
THE SOUTH UNION.
Charge of Arson.--James Mitchell and Patrick Reilly,
late pauper inmates of the South Union Workhouse, were
indicted with having on the 16th of November, wilfully and
maliciously set fire to one of the dormitories of that
establishment.
Mr. J. E. Walshe, Q.C., and Mr., C. R. Barry, Q.C.,
prosecuted on behalf of the crown.
The prisoners were undefended.
Peter Keenan sworn and examined--I was an inmate of
the house on the night of the 16th November ; the prisoner
slept with me ; about two minutes before ten o'clock I saw
the prisoners with Michael Moriarty and William Johnson
light matches and apply them to the straw of their own beds
and bedding, and also to the beds on either side of them ;
Wardmaster Reid came up soon after and let us out ; there
were 73 persons besides the prisoners in the same room
that night.
Samuel Green, another inmate of the house, gave similar
testimony. Any of the paupers who tried to leave the
dormitory after being aroused by the alarm of fire, were
struck on the hand by Moriarty with a stick.
Wardmaster Rice [sic] deposed that he was alarmed by
the cry of "fire," and on going to the room found it full of
fire and smoke ; the door of the dormitory was completely
burned down.
This closed the case for the prosecution.
Mr. Justice Christian asked the prisoners if they had any
witness to produce.
Reilly--No, my lord ; but I have a complaint to make
against two of the officers, for the way in which they used
me in the tan yard on that night.
Mr. Justice Christian, in charging the jury, said that if the
jury believed the evidence, he was bound to tell them that in
point of law the offences charged against the prisoners had
been made out. If the jurors believed the prisoners set fire
to the bedding in the dead of night, and in a room in which
there were 73 other persons--if the jury believed that they
did so under the circumstances deposed to--circumstances
which clearly indicated an intention to set the house on fire,
because the fire was placed against the door of the
apartment--then the charge was clearly made out. It was
fearful to contemplate what the consequences might have
been if the alarm had not been so soon and so effectually
given. If the jury believed the evidence they must convict
the prisoners.
The jury, without leaving the box, returned a verdict of
guilty. Sentence deferred.
