Have I not alwa ys seen you , always known you : «« I felt sure that the time approached when Albert would be regenerated or annihilated . I had seen in bun * tondemjto a cataleptic state , so I wrote to Marcus : Jever Sow Albert to biburied , or do not fear to break open his tomb . ' Unhappily for us ! Marcus could no longer present Mmself at ih / castle of tbe Giants ; be w forbidden to enter tbe states of tbe empire . He had been seriously compromised in an insurrection at Prague , in wc , c » > , n * deed , his inSuence had been more than suspected , and had only escaped by flight from tbe rigour of the Austrian laws »
. ...... .. . « ' When Albert returned beneath that fatal roof , the air of which seems to carry with it a poison to the ardent spirits of the descendants of Ziska , his whole being received a t errible shock ; he ran and shut himself up in the chamber I bad inhabited ; he called upon me . and finding I did not appear , he felt persuaded that I had die 1 a second time , and t hat 1 should never more be restored to him in the course of his present existence . The superstitious fear which took possession of the minds of those about Albert , tbe efforts of his family to lead him back to Catholic submission , quickly succeeded in torturing him , and his excitement suddenly took the disease d form which you witnessed .
"At last you came to Riesenburg ; yon surprised mm in the greatest distresses of his soul . You know , ov rather you do not kno w , what influence you had upon him , even to the making him forgetful of all that was not you , to the giving him a new life , to the giving him death . "When he brieve J tint all was over between you and him , Lis whole strength abandoned him , he allowed himself to psrish . But at hst I learned that Supperville had been called in , and I flew to Reisenburg in spite of Marcus , who , seeing mo determined to run all risfes , exposed himself to the same daggers that he might follow me . "We arrived beneath the walls of tha chateau disguised as beggars . Xo one recognised us . It was twenty-seven
years since they had seen me and it was ten since they had seen Marcus . They gave us alms and dismissed us . But we met with a friend , an unlooked-for saviour , in the person of tbe poor Zdenko . He treated us as brothers , and took ns into affection , because he understood how interested we were in Albert ; we knew how to speak to hira iu language which pleased his enthusiasm , and which made iimrereal all the mortal sorrow of his friend . Zdenko was no longer the furious creature by whom your life had been jaenaceJ . Dejected and depressed , he came , like us , to ask humbly at the door of the chateau for tidings of Albert , and like us he was repulsed with vague answer ? , terrible to OTir anguish .
"blaster at last of all the secrets of Zdenko , we learned that we could introduce ourselves oy means of subterranean galleries and secrel passages into the Chateau des Geants . Fe followed Zdenko one night , and waited at the entrance of the cistern , while he glided into the interior of the house . He returned laughing and singing ; told us that Albert was cured ; that he slept ; and that they had put new clothes upon him , and a crowa upon his head . I fell as if ibucderstmck ; I understood that . Albert was dead , I know not what passedafterward - ; I woke several times in ihe midst of a fever . I was lying on bears * skins and dried leaves , in the subterranean chamber which Albert had inhabited beneath Schreekenstein ; Zdenko and Marcus watched over me by turns . The one told me , with an air
of jay , that his Podiebrad was enred , that he would soon come to see me ; the other , pale and pensive , said , ' All perhaps , is aot lost ; let us not lose the hope of the miracle which saved you from the tomb . ' I could understand no more ; I was delirious ; I desired to get up , to run , to cry . I had not the power to move ; and the afilicied Marcus , seeing me in this state , had neither the strength nor the leisure to occupy himself with it seriously . " His whole mind , his whole thoughts , were absorbed by another terrible anxiety- At last , one night , I think it was the third of my crisis , I suddenly became calm , and felt my strength returning . I tried to collect my ideas ; I succeeded in rising ; I was alone in this horrible cava which a sepulchral lamp scarcely lighted ! I tried to quit it ; I was locked in I Where were Marcus . Zdenko , and above all Albert ? Memory returned to me ; J uttered a cry , to which the icy vaults returned an echo so gloomy that the sweat poured
from my brow , cold as the damp et the sepulchre ; I taught myself once more buried alive . What lad occurred ? what was still occurring ? I fell on my knees ; I Wretched out my arms iu a prayer of desperation ; I called Albert with furious cries . At last I beard heavy and unequal steps , as of people approaching with a heavy burden . A dog barked and panted , and quicker than they , scratched several times against the door . It opened , and I saw Marcus and Zdenko carrying Albert , stiff , livid , in short , to all appearance dead . His dog Cynabre jumped after him , and licked his hands as they hang down . - Zdenko sang , improvising in a gentle and penetrating voice : « Come , Bleep in the bosom of thy mother , my poor friend , so long deprived of repose ; come , sleep until day ; we will awake tnee in time for the rising of the sun . ' . "I threw myself upon my son . 'He is not dead V 1 cned . Oh , Marcus , yoa have saved him , have you not ? He is not dead ? He will awake ?'
"' Madame , do not natter yourself , ' said Marcus , with a frightful firmness . * 1 know nothing , I can believe in nothing ; whatever may happen , keep up your courage . Assist me , and forget yourself . ' " I need not tell you what cares we bestowed upon the re-animation of Albert . Zdenko meanwhile , seated iu a corner , played with Cynabre like a child , and continued singing ; he broke off sometimes to tell us that we were tormenting Albert ; that we must let him sleep ; that he , Zdenko . had seen him thus for weeks together , and that he
would awake of Mmself . Marcus could not participate in this confidence ; but I would insist upon believing it , and I was indeed inspired . V At length . Marcus , who had teen bending over tbe boiy ot Albert , exclaimed : * Wanda , your son lives Y And overcome by the intensity of his solicitude , he fell lifeless by the side of Zdenko . " As soon as Albert was sufficiently recovered , we issued one night from the grotto . At a short distance from tbe Schreekenstein , we placed him upon a horse , and thus ro gained the frontier , which , as you know , is at this spot close at hand , and where we found quicker and easier means of transit . The connexion which our order
entertains with the numerous lodges of the masonic order , secured to us throughout Germany the facility of travelling without being recognised , and without being submitted to tbe investigations of the police . Bohemia was for us the only perilous spot , on account of the recent outbreaks at Prague and the jealous surveillance of the Austrian power . " " * And what became of Zdenko V asked the young Countess de Rudolstadfc . " Zienko almost ruined us by his obstinacy in insisting upon preventing our departure , or at least that of Albert , & om whom he would not be separated , and whom lie would ° o t follow . He persisted in imagining that Albert could _ ot hve out of the fatal and gloomy habitation of the & Ueckenstein .
' I tried in vain to make some compromise with this s «* dian , so faithful and so blind , by promising to bring ^'" "t back to the Schreekenstein , upon condition that be paid first follow him to some other place where Albert ^ 3 -sed to go . I could not induce him ; and when , at last , tjj " y persuasion , half by force , we bad obliged him to oy i „ y t 0 ieave t _ e caven _ ne followed us weeping , ttia ? ar ^ ' * smgm S lamentable voice , beyond the 2-v .

die singing tbe glory of the Sclavonians , and their misfortunes in the language of his parents . Adieu and depart Had not Albert forbidden me to shed human blood , you should not thus deprive me of him - but he will again curse me if I raise my hand against you , and I would rather never again see him more than see him angry with me . Thou nearest me , O my Podiebrad !* cried he , pressing to his lips the bands of my son , * I obey thee , and depart . When thou retumest , t ' aou wilt find thy stove lighted , thy books arranged , thy bed of leaves renewed , and the tomb of thy mother decorated with evergreen palms . If it be in the season of flowers , there shall be flowers over her , and the bones of our martyrs at tho brink of the spring . Adieu , Cynabre !* And speaking thus , with a voice broken by tears , the poor Zdenko flew down the declivity of the rocks which incline toward Bohemia , and disappeared with the rapidity of a deer at the first dawn of dar .
"Albert was restored to the consciousness of life ; of his love for you and for me ; of bis charity and his enthusiasm for his fellow-beings and for virtue ; of his faith , and of his desire to make it triumph . He continued to cherish the thought of you without bitterness , without distrust , or regret for all he had suffered for you . But spite of the cave he took to re-assure us , and to " show us bis courage and abnegation , we soon saw that his passion had lost nothing of its intensity ; he had only acquired more moral and physical force to endure it .
" His health appeared completely re-established ; and other succour than that of my tende ' rness assisted him in combating his unfortunate passion . Marcus , and a few chiefs of our order , initiated him with fervour into the mysteries of our enterprise . He found serious and melancholy joy in these vast projects , in these bold hopes , and above all , in those long philosophical conversations , where , if he did not always meet with an identity of opinions between him and his noble friends , he at least felt his soul in sympathy with theirs in all which concerned profound and ardent feeling , the love of good , the desire for iustioe and truth .
" Albert was unaware of the disappearance of his cousin , Amelia . She had been imprisoned , at the request of hor family , to conceal her shame , in the fortress Of Spandau . vie have just been able to effect her liberation . He deter , mined to visit the Giants Castle to console his family for the death of his father . We had combated this project of Albert ' s with terror , but he had persisted unknown to us . He departed one night , leaving a letter which promised us a speedy return . His absence was > indeed , short , but how was it filled with sorrow . "Disguis-d , he penetrated into Bohemia , and surprised the so . itary Zdenko in the grotto of the Schreekenstein . From thence he desired to write to his relations to make them acquainted with the truth , and to prepare them for the oxcitement of his return . He knew Amelia for the most
courageous , though at the same time the most frivolous , and it was to her he proposed sending his first mission by Zdenko . At the moment of accomplishing this , and as Zdenko had issued upon the mountain at sunrise , he heard the report of a gun and a piercing scream . He rushed out , and the first object which met his eyes was Zdenko , carrying in his arms the bleeding Cynabre . To run towards his poor old dog , without thinking of concealing his face , was the first impulse of Albert : but as he was carrying the faithful animal , wounded to death , towards the spot called the Cave of the Monk , he saw running towards him , as fast as old age and corpulence would allow , a hunter eager to pick up his game . It was tbe Baron Frederick , who ,
hunting in the covert with the first rays of morning , had mistaken in the twilight the fawn-coloured hide of Cynabre for the hide of a wild beast . He had taken aim through the branches .. Alas ! he yet possessed a just eye and sure hand ; he had wounded him ; he had lodged two balls in the flank . Suddenly he perceived Albert , and believing that he saw a spectre , he stopped petrified with terror . Uo longer retaining consciousness of any real danger , he recoiled , drew back to the edge of the steep path he had climbed , and rolled down a precipice , where he fell crushed upon the rocks . He expired upon the spot , upon the fatal place where had stood , for many centuries , the accursed tree , the famous oak of Schreekenstein , called the Hussite , witness and accomplice of the most horrible catastrophes .
•• Albert saw bis relation fall , and quitted Zdenko to run towards the edge of the abyss . There he saw the baron ' s people hastening to raise him , filling the air with their groans and lamentations , for he gave no sign of life . These words reached Albert : — "' He is dead , our poor master . Alas ! what will madame la chanoinesse say V "Albert no longer thought of himself ; ho cried , he called aloud . As soon as they saw him a panic took possession of these credulous servants . Already they were abandoning the corpse of their master to fly , when old Hanz , the most superstitious as well as the most courageous of all , stopped them and said , while making the sign of the cross , ' My children , it is not our master , Albert , who appears to u . It is the spirit of ih ; Schrekenstein , whic ! hr . s taken his
form to cause us all to perish here if we are cowardly . I saw him ; it is he who caused the fall of monsieur le baron . He desires to carry off his corpse that he may devour it ; it is a vampire ! Come take heart , my children . They say the devil is a coward . I will take aim at him ; in the mean time do you repeat monsieur le chapelain ' s prayers of exorcism . * As he spoke thus , Hanz , having several times repeated tbe sign of the cross , raised his gun and fired at Albert , while the other servants pressed around the corpse of the baron . Happily , Hanz was too agitated and terrified to see clearly . The ball nevertheless whistled over the head of Albert , for Hanz was the best marksman-of the country , and had he been self-possessed would certainly have killed my son . Albert paused irresolute . * Courage , children , courage ! ' cried Hanz , reloading his gun , ' Fire , athini , he is frightened I You will not kill him , the balls cannot
reach him , but you will make him recoil , and we shall have time to carry away the body of our poor master . " Albert , seeing all the guns directed against him , took refuge in the copse wood , and descending the side of the mountain without being seen , quickly assured himself by the evidence of his own eyes of the horrible truth . The crushed body of his unfortunate uncle lay upon the bloody . stones . His skull was broken open , and the old Hanz cried in a voice of grief these terrible words : Pick up his brains and leave none upon the rocks , for the dog of the vampire will come and lick them up . ' ' ' Yes , yes , he had a dog , ' replied another servant , ' a dog which at first 1 took for Cynabre . ' "' But Cynabre has disappeared since the death of Count Albert , ' said a third ; ho has been seen nowhere ; he must have died in some corner , and tbe Cynabre we saw there is a ghost , as that vampire is who resembles Albert . '
"Albert could hear no more , but fled from the scene of horror . Four days after he returned , pale and overwhelmed with grief . * ' Albert had no longer any thought of quitting us . He resigned himself entirely to a philosophic life . We thought that he had triumphed over his love fur you , such care had be taken to conceal from us his struggles and his sufferings . But one day the correspondence of tbe adepts , which : it was no longer possible to conceal from him , brought into our sanctuary some cruel news , spite of tho uncertainty with which it was surrounded . Ion passed for the mistress of Frederick , and appearances did not give the lie to this supposition .
"« My well-beloved friend , ' said he to me , ' tbia time you will allow me to depart ; the duty of my love calls me to Berlin , to protect she whom I love , and who has accepted my protection . ' "' Stay , Albert , ' I repliel , ' and fear this passion which has brought you ao much suffering . I see clearly that you live only for virtue and your love . If this love should perish within you , would virtue suffice ?' " * And why should my love perish V said he with enthusiasm . ' You think , then , that she has already ceased to be worthy of it ? Even if it were so , I should continue to love her , for the past is no dream to be effaced in me .
and you know I have often confused it with tbe present to such a degree as to be no longer able to distinguish the one from the other . Well , I should do so still ; I should love in the past that angelic face , that poet soul , with which my gloomy life was suddenly lightened and inspired ; and I should not perceive that the past is behind me . I should preserve iu my bosom the burning trace . The misguided being , the fallen angel , would still inspire me with such solicitude and tenderness , that my life would be consecrated to the consoling her for her fall , and in protecting her from the contempt of cruel man . '
"Daring the short and mysterious sojourn which Albert made at this period at Berlin , he found means to penetrate sufficiently into your proceedings and thoughts to re-assure himself as to your position . He watched over you in secret , and returned tranquil in appearance , but more ardently in love with you than ever . For several months he travelled in disguise , serving our cause with activity . But having been warned that some intrigues , spies perhaps of the King of Prussia , were attempting to frame a private conspiracy at Berlin , dangerous to the existence of the masonic order , and probably fatal to-Prince Henry and his sister , the Abbess of Quedlimbourg , Albert hastened to Berlin , that he might advertise these persons of the absurdity of such an attempt , and put them on their guard against the snare which seemed to threaten
them . It was then you saw him , and though terrified at his apparition , you showed so much courage afterwards , ' and expressed yourself to his friends with sucb devotion and respect for his memory , that tbe hope of being loved by ? you once more sprang up in his bosom . He was then resolved that yon should learn the truth of bis existence by a series of mysterious revelations . He was often n ^ ar to you , concealed even in your apartment , during your stormy interviews with the king , without your being conscious of his presence . During this time the king ' s suspicions were aroused against the conspirators , and my son the most innocent of all , was arrested and transferred to Spandau , almost at the same time with yourself , whose innocence was not less established . You passed several months in prison , not far from the cell of Albert , and you must have heard the impassioned accents ot his violin , as he heard those of your voice . He had at his service means
of escape , prompt and certain ; but he would not make use of them before he had secured yours . The golden key is stronger than all the bolts of the royal prisons ; and the Prussian gaolers , for the most part discontented soldiers or disgraced officers , are eminently corruptible . Albert escaped at the same time as you , but you did not see him ; and , for reasons which you will know hereafter , Liverani was charged to conduct you here . Jfow you know the rest . Albert loves you more than ever ; but he loves you better than himself , and te will be a thousand times less miserable at your happiness with another than he could ba at bis own , if you did not entirely share it . The moral and philosophical laws , tbe religious authority under which you are each henceforth placed , permit bis sacrifice , and render your choice free and respectable . Choose then , my daughter ; but remember that tbe mother of Albert asks you on her knees not to aim a blow at the sublime trathof her son , by making for his sake a sacrifice , the

bitterness of which will fall upon his life . Your desertioii will make him suffer , but your pity without your lore will kill him . The hour has come for you to determi-f tfc-. -1 must not know your decision . Go to your chamber ; you will find two very different dresses ; that which you choose will decide tbe fate of my son . " "And which of the two is to signify my divorce from him ? " asked Consuelo , trembling . "I was charged to tell you but I will not ; I desire to know if you will divine it . " The Countess Wanda , having thus spoken , replaced her mask , pressed Consuelo to her heart , and vapidly withdrew . ( To be Continued )
Singular Robbery Is America. . (From The...
SINGULAR ROBBERY IS AMERICA . . ( From the" Springfield Daily Republican . " ) _ One of the most singular cases of crime , in its commission and discovery , that we have ever known , it now falls to our lot to record . We will state the case without formality , drawing the facts from the testimony given under oath . On the 17 th of March , Mrs . Lydia Andrus , an old lady of Russell , nearly blind , had a box taken from her room , containing 4 , 000 dols . worth of notes . The robbery was reported at tbe time of its occurrence . It now turns out that Dr . Henry Andrus , a well-known quack , who has figured at this and other towns for a series of years , was the robber . He walked into the room , took the box , aud
walked off with it . This was on a moonlight evening . Before the box bad been gone five minutes , the old lady had missed it and raised the alarm . At this time the doctor was not out of sight with his booty , when those around the house gave chase . His traces were followed , and the doctor perceiving it , threw the box into a wood house he was passing , and gaining a brook , be followed it down , and thus got them off the scent . He then took a circuit , and joined the pursuers as zealous as any of them . After having given up the chase , the doctor took his time to visit the wood-house and carry off the box . This he transferred to bis boarding house , and burned up , saving the notes , and hiding them under the floor of the garret .
Some time after this , Andrus left for Connecticut , where he remained until the old lady , one of whose heirs he was died . He then returned and on Friday last , visited Dr . De Wolf , of Chester , to whom he unbosomed himself , and whom he offered 500 dols . if he would assist him in a proposed scheme . Among the papers was one unon which the old lady had written her name at the foot of a partlv blank page . This page Andrus wished Dr . De Wolf to fill up , over the signature , with an instrument , conveying to Andrus all the notes he had stolen . He told Dr . De Wolf that he could bring a witness to swear that he saw the old lady sign the deed . The hue and cry raised on the discovery of the absence of the notes , was to bo accounted for by supposing the other heirs angry at her having conveyed them to him .
Dr . De Wolf entered into this charmin g plot with a gusto that none can appreciate but those who know him , promised all assistance , and managed to meet Andrus every night until' Sunday night . In the meantime , he had induced Andrus to bring every stolen note to his house , so that he might specify them in tbe Instrument . On Sunday night the last instalment came ; and when it came Dr . De Wolf , who is a magistrate , had prepared a warrant , and an officer to execute it . Is soon as matters were perfectly ripe . Deputy Sheriff Knox was called in and took possession . On Monday Andrus was brought to Springfield , before Justice Morton , when tho facts we have related came out . The prisoner was examined , and bound over in 1 , 000 dols . to appear at the Criminal Court in December next . He procured bail and is now at liberty .
Here , probably , ends this singular case . Dr . De Wolf deserves much credit , not for being honest , for a true man could hardly be otherwise , but for the adroit nnd skilful manner in which he managed to get possession of and to restore the lost property , and and for delivering to justice an offender against the laws . Andrus has property , and it is believed that this is his first offence . We trust that he has learned enough from it to ensure its being the last .
General Scott, Whig Candidate For The Am...
GENERAL SCOTT , Whig Candidate for the American Presidency
Winfield Scott lias been for more than forty years devoted to the service of his country . Born in Virginia , June 13 , 1786 , he was educated for the law , admitted to the bar in 1806 , and the next summer volunteered in a troop of horse raised in Petersburg , on a call of President Jefferson , to protect the coast ol the Chesapeake after tbe shameful affair of the Leopard . The next May , 1808 , the array being enlarged , he was appointed a captain of Li ght Artillery , and has ever since served his country as a soldier with ever increasing renown , until his fame is now commensurate with the civilised world . No fields were more warmly contested , no laurels more proudly won , than those wherewith the name of Winfield Scott is indissolubly blended . They need not be named—the country knows them b y heart .
But Winfield Scott is not merely nor mainly distinguished as a warrior . He has served with equal eminence as a minister and preserver of peace . The deplorable removal of the wronged and outraged Cherokees " was conducted by him with a kindness , consideration , humanity and patience which prevented the effusion of blood , which else was Inevitable , and which would have deepened and darkened the stain of perfidy which that enforced removal cast upon our national honour . In tbe winter of . 1832-3 , he commanded tbe U . S . forces in Charleston Harbour during tbe crisis of
Nullification , when one rash , irritating word from him , would probably have deluged South Carolina in blood , and mig ht have led to the dissolution of the / Union . His calmness , firmness and discretion elicited universal approbation . During the ' Patriot' troubles on the Canadian frontier , and again when the Boundary dispute between Maine and New . Brunswick threatened to plunge the two greatest free nations into interminable butchery , Scott was placed in immediate command , and succeeded in preventing bloodshed and restoring tranquillity and harmony .
So in the war with Mexico—he did not merely conquer those be was sent to fight—he won their esteem and admiration . „ While this country resounded with his victories , Mexico thought only of his humanity , bis stern repression of armed license , bis protection of the conquered people , aud his constant anxiety for peace . If Mexico were now a part of the Union , her conqueror as he was , be would receive the vote of all her States . Could anything more thoroughly attest bis-wisdom as a ruler or his worth as a man?—New York Tribune ..

W . A . GRAHAM , Whi g Candidate fob the Yicb-Pbesidekct . William A . Graham was first known to the nation in 1841 , when he was chosen to fill a vacancy in the U . S . Senate , and served through tbe memorable XXVIIth Congress . He was not re-elected , because the Legislature of 1842 3 was of adverse politics . In the vehement struggle of 1844 , he was chosen by the Whigs to breast the shock of tbe Texas issue as their candidate for governor , and carried the state over an able and popular opponent by 3 , 153 majority on a larger vote than was ever before polled . He was re-elected in 1846 by 7 , 859 majority , and declined a third term , retiring to private'life . In 1850 , on the accession of Mr . Fillmore , he was called into the Cabinet , to fill the post of Secretary of the Navy , which he still holds . — 2 W 6 une . '
Shocking Brutaiity.—One Of The Most Dari...
Shocking Brutaiity . —One of the most daring and revolting of those crimes which have for some time past been becoming more numerous in this country , and for which the mildness of the law scarcely provides an adequate punishment , wag perpetrated on Wednesday last , at Oakenshaw , near Wakefield , on a public highway , in the broad open daylight , on the person of a girl only fifteen years of age . The name of the girl whose person was so wantonly outraged is Jane Stakes . She was walking along the road towards Wakefield , about twelve o ' clock at noon , when she
observed three men approaching her , two of whom spoke to her and passed on , but the third seized her , and at the same time , making use of threatening language , threw her into a ditch by the road side , where he succeeded in violating her person , his comrades in the meanwhileJooking on at a distance of only a few yards off . When tbe villain had aecom ^ plished his purpose , he robbed the girl of a half-crown , and ran away , but as a pursuit " was soon instituted , he and his companions were shortly after captured and brought to the police station at Wakefield . On Friday , the three prisoners , named Isaac Marsden , SoJoman Tankard , and Richard Tankard , coal-miners , were brought before the Mayor and other magistrates , at the Wakefield Courthouse . Marsden was charged with the rape and robbery , and his companions with having aided and abetted him in the commission of the offence . The facts , as given above , having been distinctly
proved , the prisoners were cautioned iii the usual manner , and asked if they had anything to say in defence ? Marsden and Solomon Tankard had nothing to say , but Richard Tankard made the following statement : — " I met this youug woman , but I left this ere Marsden before I lit on the young woman . I walked on the road right away down the cart road to the railway bridge over the cart road , and I thought he wor a fearful long while a coming , and I looked back , and seed him a coming between three and four hundred yards off , running down the road . I walked down tbe r ' uht away , and when we had gotten happen half a mile further who comes up but some men . Tbey shouted hey ! stop them chaps , ' and one of them took ho d of me , and said he was going to . take me . I said , * If I ' vd done ought wrong I ' m willing to go with anybody anywhere that you mind : I've nought more to say . " The prisoners were then committed to York Castle to take their trial at the ensuing

STOPPAGE OF A IENAST-RIGHT DEMONSTRATION . A letter dated Newry , Saturday evening , states that a meetinc of tho friends and supporters of Mr . Sharman Crawford ' s Tenant-right Hill was convened for that day at "Waringstown , midway between Baubridge and Lurgan . The assemblage congregated was far more numerous than on any of the preceding occasions , comprising thousands of farmers and . labourers , and an immense number of Catholic priests . Mr . Sharman Crawford was also in attendance . As the proceedings were about to commence , intimation was coriveved fo the leading parties that the authorities had received information on oath that the meeting , if permitted to go on , would be likely to lead to a breach of the peace , and that they had therefore determined to prevent its taking place . Consequently the Tenant-righters and their leaders had to disperse , and the " great cause" met with a heavy blow and great discouragement thereby . There was a large body of military and about 400 police in attendance , to enforce , if necessary , tbe orders of the authorities , and disperse the meeting if any attempt was made to hold it .

G Ee A T T H Under Storms. Terrific Stor...
G EE A T T H UNDER STORMS . Terrific Storm and Waterspout—On Monday evening last the north was visited with an awful thunderstorm ; the lightning and thunder wore terrific , the rain fell in sheets , and great damage has been done to the crops . The Spinning-moor branch of the Clarence Bailivay has been washed away for as much as a mile in length , in some places the embankment being ten feet high . The earth , sleepers , and rails were carried over the fields , forming a wide-spread mass of desolation . The storm was bo violent that the driver and stoker in charge of a coal train were glad to stop and seek shelteiyand , while under cover , they thought they heard a train approaching , and went to look after their engine , but were met by a mass of water and earth coming upon them so as to prevent their reaching tho line . They describe the water as coming down like a
cataract , and breaking up the line of embankment , and so vast was the torrent made by it that a body of water six feet deep rushed down the cutting through which the line passed , carrjing everything before it , sweeping away the heavy rails like straws , and leaving marks of its course high up the banks on each side of the line . There is no passenger traffic on this branch , or the consequences might have been very serious . On tho branch leading into the York , Newcastle , and Berwick line , near Ferry hill , the flood met with a temporary check in the embankment , but it soon yielded to the torrent , and was carried away over the fields . The gardens in the neighbourhood , in the course of tbe current , were all washed away . The mail was stopped , and had to seek another route in order to get on the main line . Several hundred men are now employed in repairing the damages .
Thunder Storm at Ross' , —On Monday night , about midnight , the lofty spire of Ross Church , Herefordshire , was dreadfully shattered by lightning . It is still standing , but shakes in the wind ; and the work of repair will be one of much danger , requiring a large outlay . The height of the spire is about 204 feet . The electric fluid passed through the body of the church , but did little injury there . Awful Thunder Storm in STAFFonnsniRE .--One of the most awful storms known in Staffordshire took place on Tuesday afternoon . The premises of Messrs . Moigh and Son , large manufacturers atMlanley , were twice struck by lightning . It came down one of the till chimneys into a
room where two men were working , killed one on the spot , leaving only a blackened shapeless mass , sent the other out at tho door as with a blow , leaving a little boy within a yard of the man killed unhurt , tearing off a great part of tho roof , and falling the room with tho sulphur and dust . It also struck a steam-mill adjoining , tearing the roof , and en ; teringa room only just left a few moments before by one of the men , filling that likewise with sulphur and dust . The scene was most appalling , women and children screaming , the men pale and aghast with horror . Two other manufactories were struck , but without such disastrous consequences , and some houses damaged .
A Xekbific Thunder Storm burst over the New Forest on Monday night . ' In Southampton the whole of the day on . Monday , the weather was exceedingly sultry , and at times the heat was almost insufferable . Before dark lightning was seen from the west and south-west , - It increased in intensity towards midnight , when the flashes succeeded each other very rapidly , and were remarkabl y vivid . The weather also was squally , but no rain fell within a dozen miles of Southampton . In tbe heart of the forest , however , the rain fell in torrents , so much so that many of tho carriages of the up-Dorcliester night mail train had several inches of water in thera when they arrived at Lyndhurst . No rain fell after the train left Lyndhurst . The lightning was of the sheet kind occasionally . Southampton water and the whole of the New Forest was lighted up with intense brilliancy by it .
Executions For Murder. The Tffo Brothers...
EXECUTIONS FOR MURDER . The tffo brothers , Michael and Peter Scanlan , who were sentenced at the High Court of Justiciary in Edinburgh on the 14 tb ult ., underwent the last penalty of the law on Monday morning at Cupar , tne chief town in Fifeshire , within which tbe deed for which they suffered was committed . The two culprits , it will be recollected , were Irish labourers , and were employed at the Hill of Forthar Limeworks , in the parish of Kettle . Near this place there is a small village or hamlet , called Hilton of Forthar . In this village they lodged . Adjoining to their lodgings there lived an old woman who kept a small huckster ' s shop , with whom they were in the habit of dealing for meal , bread , and other articles of food . This old woman , it was suspected , had some little money by her ; and the brothers Scanlan , alone
with a man named M Manus , who turned approver at the trial , entered into a compact to rob tho old woman ' s house on the evening of Sunday , the loth of April last . They met about midnight to accomplish their nefarious purpose ; and M'Msnus alleges , that lie remained outside to watch and give warning , and that the Soanlans entered the house by a small back window . The old woman , it seems , was awakened by the noise , when one of the Soanlans knocked her down with a threelegged stool , and , by reported blows , eruelly murdered her , by smashing in her skull . At their trial the prisoners manifested the most callous indifference . After their condemnation they were more subdued ; but still their conduct , as a whole , was the reverse of what ought to have been expected from persons in such a situation . They were regularly visited by Mr .
O'Byrne , a Roman Catholic priest from Kirkaldy ; but they declined to receive the visits of any of the Presbyterian ministers of Cupar . They both asserted their innocence to the last . ' On Sunday they were visited by Bisdop Gi'les , from Edinburgh , and Mr . M'Eay , a priest , at whose hands they received absolution . Two petitions were sent to the Home-office on their behalf ; but Mr . Walpole in reply wrote to Provost Mitchell on Saturday , stating that he had examined the evidence in their case , and could not , consistently with his duty , interfere with the due course of law . Calcraft was sent for from London , to perform what is called in old Scotch acts the office of "doomster , " and he arrived some days previously . The event created great excitement in Fifeshire generally , where there has been no execution for the last
twenty years . The scaffold was erected at an early hour on Monday morning , and by the time fixed for the execution , an immense crowd of people was collected in the streets of Cupar , many of whom had come from great distances . Around the scaffold , a company of the 42 nd Regiment from Dundee , and a body of the 7 th Hussars from Edinburgh , wero stationed , along with a largo party of special constables . Bishop Gilles was early in his attendance upon the prisoners on Monday ; and , in the course of the morning , the brothers made a formal declaration in bis presence , and that of two other persons , to the effect that the statements in Michael ' s second declaration , at his apprehension , implicating several individuals as being concerned in the murder , were false ; but that they themselves were inno * cent of the murder , and . knew nothing of it .
About five minutes before eight o ' clock , the van which was to carry them to the auaffold , erected at the boundary of the burgh , drove up to the prison door . On arriving at this place they came quickly out of the van , and rapidly ascended the steps of the scaffold , with a fiimness of manner trnly surprising under the circumstances . ' The priests and tho two culprits then knelt , and Bishop Gilles offered up a prayer . The brothers then embraced each other , and afterwards shook bands with the executioner . The werd was then given , and the drop fell , and both appeared to die witqout a struggle . The utmost stillness pervaded the crowd during the wools proceedings , which did sot occupy more than a quarter of an boar .
