having left Ins native laud.
When ordered to enter the cabin, he trem
bled all over and prostrated himself before the

so. After stating ins case, he was taken ashore
under charge of officers, and ail bis clothing,
American presents, curiosities, etc., etc., to

At present it is impossible to give nny thing

AUDITION Ai. l-AI-.Ttlt I, A U.S.
I_A\v.i__M__, Jan. Pi—n p, M_—At about ten
minutes of live o'clock tins nfternoon, our citi
zens were alarmed by ihe cry of tire, which
proceed-d from the Pemberton Mills, about
tonr-fiftbsof which had fallen, a shapeless
mass. Without rhe slightest warning lo the
nearly eight hundred human beings wlu were
then at work.
The building was never considered to be as
staunch ns it ought to ha\;- been. It was built
ab nt seven years since, and was then thought
a i-linm. Indeed, before the machinery was put
in, the walls spread to inch a degree that some
twenty-two tons of iron pin.- were put in to
save it from falling by i's own weight.
From il.r. besi information that tan be now
gathered, the building appeared to crumble
aad foil from the eastern corner, or end to
wards Ihe Bock Mill. It fell inwards, as if
powerfully drawn that way.
The Are companies at once repaired to the
spot, bo! there being no fli-, they immediately
-. i io work with a will lv remove ibe rubbish.
lirt",- very soon reached Borneo! the rooms,
ami the dead and wounded were taken out a.
fas.t as they ci_.uld be reached. Mr.Charles
BaichelJer helped to remove some twenty-six
iv various conditions—some still living, oi tiers
dead and terribly mutilated. Mr. Branch,an
overseer, has not been fonnd. Tbe City Hall
bas b.en converted into a temporary hospital
tor the dead nnd wounded, to remain there
until recognized by their friends, although
-.• res were recognised and taken a: once to
their homes.
I'ne following wounded are now at the hall:
Mary Ann Coleman, Ellen Uiary, Sarah
I Me. Eliza Ward, Ellen Mahony, Thos. C_>n
•er, Bridget Bradley, Mary York, Margaret
Haaneykill, Eliza Yaw, KateHarykee, Joanna
i' ni.ei v. .lorn- Palmer, George ileodalpha,
.Airs. Fridler, Boberi Uavs, Courtney,
Margaret Hamilton, Mary Kennedy.
There are twenty-one corpses, only the fol
lowing ot v. iii.li have beeu rccogni_« .i:
Mary McDonald, Bridget Ryan, Mike
O'Brien, John Dearborn, Margaret Sullivan,
Mrs. Palmer.
Mr. i aimer was deeply buried In tbe ruins
at the time, and thinking tin re was no pros
pect of being extricated, cut hts throat to end
ins sufferings. Still he waa extricated, and
lived ior some time after arriving at ihe hall.
One woman in that part of the mill still
standing, became lrij.li ened, and threw bei
bjimt". and shawl out ol ti tilth story door aud
jumped out herself, breaking her arm and in
juring hers. II so thai she cannot recover. The
laboring forceol the mill was about Line hun
dred and sixty, and ii is supposed thai about
-i v.-ti hundred tinman beings -.-.ere actually
buried iv the nuns A woman tins jnsi bet n
rt-ieuel wbo says there are sunn- twenty-five
m .ie in the vicinity of her yet alive.
About hall-past nine o'clock, fire was dis
covered. Tins additional horror, although
somewhat apprehended, struck terror to the
be r.s ill at had before been hopeful of saving
more lives. Sstiil ihe work of removal went
briskly on. The in ice pomps and all tbe en
gines which were on the ground, at once got
streams of wa er on. Bud have been pouring
on torrents — -o that now. (ll 3d I*. M-.) aiiho
volumes of smoke and steam are rising, yet
the tin- does not seem to gain, and it Is certain
ly t.i be hoped that it has been stayed.

man not badly bun, but the flames drove
them back arid the womau i- supposed to have
perished, when delivery seemed so near.
The Mayor has telegraphed to Lowell for
the firemen of that city, who will arrive here
about one o'clock.
It is estimated that not lees than two thou
sand able-bodied m.n have been constantly
at work on the ruins-, but, notwithstanding
that so many have Itecn working in a small
space, yet no accident that we can learn ol
has occurred.

them.
The tlames threaten the destruction of the
Washington mills and the bridge over the
river.
I. S.-I-AWKhN.K, _ I ass., Jan. 11 — 1 A. M.—
The Pemberton Mills are now a black, .smok
ing mass. Brick, mortar and human bones
are promiscuously mingled. Probably not j
less than two hundred human beings perished i
in ihe tl.noes.
The fire made quick work, burning not only
the remains of the building as they lay Bat, j
but extending te the material that had in kind- I
ness been removed.
The Washington Mills are in great jeopardy.

Flour Inspections — Deacon i f the Court if ip
pesfe.—On Wednesday last the Courted Ap
peals, now ia session, confirmed two decisions
Of Judge Meredith, made in July last, the ef
fect of which will !>e to cut off the perquisites
of the Ib.ur inspectors of the State, nun render
their ofltcee less lucrative than at present.—
Thai eurreadrrs may understand tbe ease, we
will state it, aa follows: Early in the year
1556, Messrs. L B. Crenshnw k C ... millers
in this city, objected to the Inspector. Mr. 1»
S. Deiaplane, taking for his own use the "draft
flour" drawn from tbe barrels when anaing
inspections, as he bad no authority by Inw Kir
so doing. Mr. Detaptoae, oa the other bund
.-i-.itn.-d tbe Hour as bia, by custom, and vws
permitted to take it, nnder protest of the mii
lers. To test the question ot right, and ut a
judicial Opinion, Messrs. Crenshaw k Co.
brongh! a suit against Mr. Deiaplane for the
value of the flour thus taken. About the same
time, Messrs. Crenshnw .v Co. applied for a
man lamu . to compel the Inspector to inspect
their Bout according to law- that is, through
« bole in tb • head oi the barrel ball aa loch |_
diameter. In July, I-.".-, both these cases were
ncard before Judge Meredith, wbo gave ver
dicts in favor of tbe plaintiffs. On these de
cisions k-'-Je.'tN vv-re tak'-ti to the Court oi
Appeals, by Mr. Delaplnne, nud were argued
before thai body at irr.-rit length,bv Messre.
Crenshaw, Randolph, Hollariay and Crump,
ior i,. !>. Crenshnw .v Co., and tor Messrs.
Green. Joyce-an I Lyons, for Mr. Deiaplane,
al tin- session in-- 1 fell. The Court vi um
m<-n_ ly affirmed J ndge Meredith's dcci.i <n<.
The amount involved in the case decided is |
probably n,.t more than s.i,i:.c r bat as must ol
the millers bave brought suita fo] "draft fionr"
siuce 1856, and as the decisions referred te
have covered nit tbe legul points in question,
verdicts in then- behnli nre beyond question,
and will 1.-a.l to judgments against tbe l.i»i ec
tor to tbe ..mount oi twenty'or thirty thou
sand dollars, n- we ar-- informed.
