Threatened Lynch Law in La
rue County, Ky. — The Louisville
Courier of the 20th inst., says:
We understand that for several day?
pastille most intense excitement has pre
vailed in Lirue, county, in consequence
of the confession of a startling tragedy.
John, a slave, the property of Berry Cun

> since, charged with the murder of Miss
Mary Shuler, has confessed his participa
tion m the crime, and implicates several
other persons.
This Miss Slmler was originally a re
•-ident of Bardstown, but at the time of
I the murder was temporarily living in La
me county, with Mrs. Murphy. The ne
i. o has been twice tried, but each time
he juries (ailed to agree. A few days
■ ac.: the negro was induced to make a
1 an breast of the horrible affair, being
t ."eatened with lynching—persons telling
,.ihi that the Taylor county mob was com
;g to bang bun.
fl savstliat four other persons were
ivoted with linn in the affair, be being
tool, and receiving two hundred
j, ; 'i s. The persons charged are Mrs.
■iorpiiy, her daughter, aged sixteen
ears, James McCavock and William
Pi ikivll. These parties were all itnuie
\ Holy arrested. Great excitement exis
ditoughout the coiinnumiy, and so ex
lated were the citizens that it was
much difficulty the officers could pre
' the crowd from lynching the accused.
[ . ict, Pickrell was at one time swung
The circumstances that lead to the mur

The Bbitish Shipowner and the
Foreigner.—A correspondent oftlte Lon
don Shipping Gazette calls attention to
the present depressed condition of British
Shipping. He says:
More than one-third of the tonnage in
the ports of London and Liverpool are
lyinij unemployed, nnd in Calcutta, bom
hay, Madras, Singapore and China, there
are upwards of 200,000 tons of British
shipping lying idle. The value of ships
has depreciated within the last two years
50 per cent.
Ship building at the outports is almost
suspended, and thousands of carpenters
and other artisans are unemployed and
starving; vast numbers of master marin
ers, officers and seamen, are also idle, and
in the greatest distress.
The reason for this, he argues, is that
while the foreigner enjoys the full heuelit
of their carrying trade, Great Britain is
virtually excluded from the carrying of
trade of other countries. In regard to
the policy of the United States lie re
marks :
America excludes us from her coasting
trade, and which, from her extensive sea
board, is of immense importance. A par
ticipation in the carrying trade between
New York, Boston, New Orleans and Sar
Francisco would he invaluable to our ship
ping, especially those belonging to oui
North American colonies; and il anything
will have a tendency to dissever their con
nection with this country, it will be tin
continued neglect of our government ii
procuring for British and colonial shipping
full reciprocity from the United States
New Brunswick and Nova Scotia are a I
most dependent on ship-building, nnd couh
compete successfully with the Americai
builders, but they are excluded from sell
ing their ships in the United States, al
though that great republic can sell he
vessels in any Bailish port, free of duty
and our own ship-builders having to pa
heavy duty for timber, gives the America!
builder a protection as against the Britis
' ship-builder, so that not only our ship-own
1 ers, but our ship-builders, are subject to:
ruinous and unfair competition with lie
' United States. This stale of things call
aloud for immediate remedial measures
He recommends the calling of meeting
all over the country of ship-owners, sea
men and others interested, asking govern
■ ment to enforce restrictions or prohibition
■ on those nations who do not give them fti
• and complete reciprocity; and if that fail;
they must thunder at the doors of Parlia
ment.

Falling or the New York State
j Arsenal.—The roof of the new Slate
! Arsenal in course of completion at the
corner of Seventh avenue and Thirty-fifth
street, fell in about two o'clock on the
morning of the 19th ult., with a terrible
crash, carrying with it the walls on three
sides of the building. Fortunately, the
accident happened at an hour at which
persons are seldom abroad in that section
of the city, nod consequently no loss of
life was occasioned. Portions ol the fall
ing walls, however, fell upon buildings in
the vicinity of the arsenal, slightly wound
ing a woman named Gould, who was in
bed, and killing a horse and a couple of
dogs. The contractors for erecting the
arsenal, Messrs. Cleveland &. Backus,
expected to have the work finished by the
first of December. The contract price
was $67,000. The damage, which is
estimated at $25,000, will fall upon the
contractors.

Jackson House for Sale.
fTAHF, undersigned is desirous to sell the
JL above House, which is situated in Des
Arc. The house is a brick building contain
ing twelve rooms—connected therewith is a
frame dining room, 45 feet long, lb feet wide.
Also, connected is an office witli a good [tar
and a hack room—each 18 feet square. There
is. also, another tenement disconnected from
the main building, suitable for a Barber Shop
—it is now occupied as a Silver-smith Shop.
There is in all sixteen rooms. There Is a good
Livery Stable within 30 yards of the premises.
I a in not anxious to sell because the business
will not pay, but on account of my Ireallh
being bad, I cannot give my personal attention
to the House. I venture'the assertion that
this tavern has cleared more money for the
amount invested than any other business in
the State. It is situated within 100 yards of
the Steamboat Landing, immediately ort the
main street. The U. S. Mail Stage Office is
kept at this House.
Tkrms.—One-third cash ; balance in one and
