Aborrible murder and suicide occurred in the

fired.
ihe first discharge (the gun belni? a double

A Halted States Soldlar Attempts to
8bonl Ilia "aptalit.
' The Savannah Kepuhlican of the 23'.h says:
About G o'clock ou Thursday morning an at
tempt was made at the United States Barracks,
in this citv, to shoot Cap-am P. W. lloulinan, of
the 16th United b a'ea Intantrv.b.vamannaiued

Cap'aiu's cuiwpiuy. Cap'ulo Houlihan is under
arrest and conbned to ihe limit' ot his quarters,
and oniLe mormnt: in question whs sitting upon
a piazza, lacing the parade trround and directly
opposite the guard-bouse, wbere Fleming was
confined, undergoing a sentence for desertion.
This man. Flcminer, by some metus obtained
possession ot ouc o the guns belonging to tne
guard, and mined it through one of the guard
house windows at the capiain, wh saw the gun
pointed in his direction, but Md not move a he
anticipated no dancer. Fleming tired tne
musket, and the ba.l struck and lodged in the
Hapsatt, whiclv wus in a direct line wnh Captain
Houlihan. But for this tortunaie circumstance
he would certainly have been wounded, perhaps
killed.
Berpeant Ctaitner, in command of the guard,
was immediately outside ot the guard-house,
and on bearing the report, he at once r in bo J
inside, ana touud the prihonor preparing tlie
weapon tor another shot. The Sergeant knocked
him don and secured possession ot the musket.
Lieutenant Haines, officer of the dav, aUo came

Fleming bears a bad cl'arac'er, and is oue of
the n orest soldiers in trje Company. Captain
llr ulihan had him rourt-rnurtialed and sentenced
lortao months at hard labor, on a previous
occasion, lor tbefr. Not long aeo he deserted,
w8 recaptured, and is now undergoing sentence
lor the offense.
We congratulate Captain Houlihan upon his
fortunate escape.

MEXICO.
Coaveata and the Coavsat Sjratam The
Aaeunt Uoinurlii of the ilpbllc.
Kane O'Donocil, writing to the New York
Irifune from M?xico, ou July 10, says:
There nre few live monasteries in Mexico at
the pieteut day, albeit the immense masonries
and ruins teat remain sufficiently suggest the
extent and power of tbe conventual system.
The old convent ot Ensenanza, or teaching, is a
large specimen ot its class ot structures. Half
a dozen Btoue-paved courts with fountain,
many corridors overlooking iLese patios, count
less cells looking out upon the corridor.-, and
heavy archways leading Irom one courtyard into
anotner, uescrioe ine general character of sucn
a building. As the name implies, children
went to school in this convent. That of
the Encarnacion illustrated a belter principle
in its structure and Inc. Instead ol manv
little courts there was one large patio with two
stories of broad corridors surrounding. Iu the
centre a fountain plajed that no overruns its
w.oe oasin, and tne spice around was a broad
garden, laid out in walks edged with tiles, an 1
overgiown with the loveliest flowers of the
clime, orange, lily, monorillo, campaneila.
trumpet-vines, and more than I can name. In
Ibis patch ot Paradise, well-nested bird kept
up a sweet, livelong jargon, lust as tbey care
le?sly do now to the wondermeut of the visitor
w ho puts loot in the deserted garden. I sup
pose, too, the meek nuns did not cease
to grieve tor piety's or feeling's sake,
unless tbe narroiuer routine of dailv
duties set tbe mind in a mechauic groove of
talth, to the ham-drumming away ot sentiment.
The chiet Inscriptions discoverable on the con
vent walls ,re rules In verse observing that a
nun mufct keep tidy.be precise in her demeanor,
and say her prayers regularly. The martineiisiu
of the pious drill thus suggested furnished con
siderable part ot the discipline ot a prim, holy
lite, and was, of course, much of the life itsell.
The cam ti-tups drilled thereby n igut not nave
been as useful or ns humble as pwor Dame
Durden. Yet the world knows that this pen i
teutiary system of piety his maintained and
educated women pure and good as ice in Hum
mer, nd to whose lives the exaltation of the
holy St, Agnes was scarce a miracle. Chance led
me the other day into the precincts of
hanta Brigida. The entrance is secluded from
the street, and it is to tbe rambler's surpiiso
that he finds bimseli in the wills of an old cou-
vent, te-selated with the Mule shabs of delf
made in Puebla a century ago. Over the door
leading out ol the courtvard or pa'io. we see a
relic ot the intense zeal that raised such lm-
n.fnse walls out of the pockets of tbe faithful.
It was tbousht a tnanitesta'ion of high spirit for
fere DucoeBne to prono-e at the end ot a cleri
cs I sessions in Belgium cheers for the Redeemer.
Here tne cheers are written over the portal:
"Viva Jesosl Viva Maria 1 Viva Joss!" and the
Viva is lar irombeingprofane.iboweveritsounds
to ears undevout. The Convent Is now tenanted
by families of simple folks, and its garden is
reached by applying to one of these. It is the
charm of the place a wild convent wall such
as we read of, where, In a brief space, all tho
floral colors run riot, as in some such day-dream
ot blossoms and vines as grew out ot the som
nolent years ot the Meepius Palace. The foun
tain in the middle has ceased to play; a ctiapel
at the side daubed over with red cherubs is in
ruins; a little htrmituge at the back wall, wbere
a nun might pray to a niched copy of Our
Lady of Softude, is dismantled. Lizards
caper up and down the walls in the hot sun,
or peep out of crevices, or vanish behind
the rank oveierowtn or na.stursion tlowerj. The
tatque or convent pool, once clear as a l.int,
has become green by lU-use, and a little oratory

arrows, (lood St. Bridget Hnd her devotees
have been in this garden, and lelt it rosy, just
as if in holier days its sisterhood of religious
blossoms nad been regularly sprinkled with
uoiy water, ana so grew in trace.
Tbe principal convent ot monks In Mexico
was that ot San Francisco, the ruins of which
have been adapted to a circus. It wa9 an euor
mous establishment, tccupving several large
sciuares. low ln'ersec'ed bv streets aud taken
up by houses. Looking at the old gateway, oue
can still see the convent chapel dedicated to
Our Lady ot Aranza, with a sculptured pastoral
on Its lacar.e, t-uowiug that the story of the
heaven-inspired Indian at Gaudalupe was
hardly unique. A shepherd is pining to his
(locks at the foot of a tree, and Our Lady, iu an
Klizabethim drets, ralisted with glory, is de
scendieg ui oo or out of tbe tree. Wouderful to
say this convent was built iu 1531, on the site of
an Aztec temple dedicated to the god of war,
slid was founded by Fray Pedro de (Junto, son
ot the En.rcror Charles V. The convent had
five churches attached to it, one of them of
cathedral size.

The Atlantic teleeraph announces tho demise
ut Loudon, yesterday, of Robert Mousey Roifj
raised to the British peeraao in Decembftr,
1850, by the title of B iron Craa worth in tho
seventy-sixth year ol his age, and tbe eiuhteentu
of bis baronial dignity. Lord Cran worth, was
born Leci mber 18, 17'Jd. His father was Rev.
Kdmund Rolle. His grandfather, Rev. Robert
Rolfe, married to Alice Nelson, aunt of Eng
land' ruvul hero. Lord Nch-on. Robert Mousey
Rolle received his education (,t bury St. Ed
mund's, at Winchester nod at Trinity College,
Cambridge. The degree ot Bachelor ot Art was
conferred on him at tne aire ot twenty-two, and
in ibe same year (1812) he was elected a Fellow
of Downing College. Four yours subsequently, in
1816. be was licensed a barrister; and In an
exceedingly brief time be acquired a lnr;;e prac
tice, as much by tbe learning and soundness of
judgment he early displayed in the solving of
exceedingly abstruse questions ot law as by his
j ersevc, au'ee. He wus a man, In political as in
judicial matters, of enlarged mind, and early
espoused tbe liberal side, aiuiina atwas at the
extension ot the privileges of the people, his
cardinal axiom being that there should, in the
matter of government, be no difference between
the poor anil the rich, the weak and the power
ful, as all weie necessitated to bow before the
majciity ol the law. It was not, bowerer, until
1822 that he could be persuaded to take a seat
in Parliament, and by his industry and talents
aid tbe 1'beral prty In its efforts to reform many
ol Ihe abuses which were an incubus upon the
progress of the country. Accepting the nomi
nation of the Penrhyn liberals In that year he
was triumphantly returned to a sent in the
I'ritish Legislature. He remained In Par
liament unit be was created one or
the Barons of the Exchequer. In the year In
which he was choscu to represent Penrbyn he
was appointed Counsel to the Throne, and two
years subsequently, In 1834, Solicitor-General.
The Mmisiry, however, changing suortlv after
wards, he resigned bis position, and held no
office except that of n legislator until 1835,
when, the Liberals being once more returned
to place, be was reappointed, and held the
office until elevated to the bench. Upon the
resignation and retirement of Lord Coltenham,
ne was created one ol tbe Commissioners lor
holding tbe sreat seal. This commission he
held until 1850, when he was raised to the Vice
Cbancellorsbip. as the succccBor of Sir Launce
lot Shadwel'. In the same year he was ereited,
ns lias b?en stated, a peer.. and in that following
was named one ot the Lords Justices ot the
Court ol Appeals in Chancery, and again, in
itsbi, was cooscn by Jord Aberdeen Lord lligb
Chancellor of hngland. As Lord Hiah Chan
cellor Barou Criinwoith succeeded iu bringtug in

the Charitable Trusts act- of 1856, and tbo
bill for the establishment of tbo Probae
and tbe Divorce Courts. Having effected all the
rolorms it was possible iu the then state of
public enlightenment on social aud political
questions the Cabinet of Aberdeou being no
longer sufficiently in force, although a pro
fessedly liberal one, to sivUln Itself against the
repeated assaults of Hailiament, went to pieces
in 1865-he ret. red wi'h his coarjutois. He was
shortly afterwards ncailad to place by Lord
Huseell, who organized a coalition Ministry anil
worked faithfully as Lord Chancellor for the
liberal interests, notwithstanding that Russell,
(iladstone, and many others deserted him. On
the collapse ot the "coalition," Lord Cran worth
attended faithfully to his duties as a legislator,
ieiu-ing to compromise his high political cha
racter by entering into intrigues or aspiring to
power; and when the Lord Chancellor West
bury (members of whose family were accused
of certa'n heinous offenses that necessarily
reflected on Westbury, aud their publication
certainly weakened tbe Palmerston-Kusell
Ministry) resigned, Lord Crauworth was again
culled to the Chancellor.-hio iu July, 1H65.
and tifon tbe hi caking up of the administra
tion, caused by tho defeat of tvladstoue's Re
form bill a year subsequently, he retired
from public life full of years and honors. Lord
(ran worth was in no sen-eof the word a geuius.
He had a comprehensive mind aud was a hsrd
worker. His chiet merit as a lawyer and a
statesman lay in the purity of his motives. He
was a reformer from couviclion, aud although
it would have served bis purp se better, had he
ben a secretly ambitious man desirous of place
and pel', to havj professed and advocated the
conservative bide m politic, he yet advanced iu
the estimation of the public and ot tho'e with
whom he was necessitated to associate in Parlia
ment and el-ewhere perhaps far more rapidly
than any other man of his lime. In his death,
the cause of human progress has lost a true
friend one n t vainly puffed up bv personal
success one who, with enlarged and frieudly
views, believed firmly in tbe elevatton of the
masses, and in their participation, so far as was
compatible with the permnuency of British insti
tutions, in the present state ot euliehtenrnent
among the lower orders of tho people, in all
governmental questions through their represen
tatives. Crtiu worth's political life whs a success,
althoueh he was not gifted with that quality of
epepch which adorns the Senate: but he was a
shrewd, calm, and hiuh-minded debater, on
whose simple statement his opponen's could
fully rely. As a lawyer his opinions are
respected and often quoted; hut his legal labors
wili never be placed on the same book shelf with
those of St. Leonard and other great lights of
English lurispiudence. Although exceedingly
learned and thoroughly acquainted with the
Ei.glish classics, he never attempted to make for
bimselt a brilliaut name in the arena of litera
ture. He was successful as a jurist and a
politician, and in his lifetime received his

A GENTLEMAN PUGILIST.
Vbe Arrival of Jem Ward, the EaglUh
Profaealoaal tat New York.
The New York Times of today says: A
great many people will not leel enlightened to
hear that Mr. Vard is in town. But wherever
a twenty-four foot ring has been pitched the
fame of Jem Ward is enduring. Jem was born
in the opening of this century. Napoleon had
sigued tbe treaty of Cainpo Formo and tbe
French republic was ou its labt legs when this
renowned pugilist made his debut on this
world's stage. For fourteen years he held the
champion's belt of England, and held It with
pluck ana gallantry.
Laat evening the Old Bowery Theatre was
crowded, pit. parquet, aud ealtery, by all tne
principal lancy men of New York to take a look
at this great and polite pugilist. Everybody
was anxious to see him, but lor a long time tbe
pleasure was denied them. The Buistay family
of gymnasts bad to go through their athletic
periormanccs and it was late in the evening
betore tbe ex-champion showed up.
Two or three farces were played with the re
lined and elegant action which is not to be found
outside of the old Bowery Theatre, and then
Mr. Luke Welsh and Mr. John Dwycr were an
nounced to spar by Mr. N. B. Clarke. This
gentleman Is the only successful Ghost who has
ever appeared in Ilamiet at the Bowery Theatre.
His manner is ghostly, his speech is ghostly, his
walk is ghostly, aud bis frock coat docs not
belong to this world. His manner of announc
ing the two buffers was in itself a mcdt super
natural thing. After being announced, Mr.
Wehh and Mr. Dwy ergot at ea'.-h other iu
a most ferocious way. Mr. Luke Welsh ij
too heavy in the water line to be a good bparrer,
but still he is a tbunderlug big fellow, aud with
a scientific person like Mr. Dwyer be made a
most beautiful set-to. Tho ' Cribh" scene, which
is, by the way, a most disgusting scene, as the
men who bit in it are forced to dnuk from empty
gtBBses, was opened for the purpo-e of showing
the skill of Mike Coburn and Pat6ey Sheppard.
These two light weights went at each other
hammer and tongs, aud the audieuce got
wild at the splendid thumping they gave
each other. Then Jem Ward, sixty-eight
years of age, five teet ten inches, and welch
ing two hundred aud two pounds, with his
feet encased in india-rubber Blipper, came
on the stupe with Joe Cuburu, and they wero
both cheered to their heart's content. Tho dis
p'uy of science between the young American
champion and the veteran ex-champion of Eng
land was realiy a fine thing to see. Neither of
the men were anxious to hit each othjr hard,
and consequently there was no blood drawn.
After tho set-to was over Ward and Coburn
shook bands in on amicable niauner, and the
sparrists were dibtnissed. Mr. Ward fought
twenty ring parties, and was beaten ouly once.
He has come to this country to keep a porter
house, rud it is certain that a more elegant and
polite tighter never landed lu America than
"Ueutleman Jem" Ward.
Circulars Lave been issued by the great

By Allan'io Cubit.
London, July 28. Telegrams from 6t. Peters"
burg, dated in that city yesterday, state that the
Invalide HusAe, official organ of tho ltusslan
Government, publishes that private advices
have been received there Irom Central Ait
unnouueinf? that a peace arrangement had baa
concluded between the Czar's ge .eral, on be
half of his Majesty, and the Emir ot Bokhara.
The news is pretty generally credited in Lon
don, as it has been known in England for some
time that negotiations tending towards a peace
ful result had been entered on between the
Kussian authorities and the Emir duriuc; the
last days of April. It is asserted that the Emir,
after wi'neirsiug tho steady progress and war
power of the Russians for some time, secretly
encouraged their advance to Bokhara, and that
the officers of the Czar were well Inclined to
accept his friendly approaches, the Emir being
alarmed at the flow of a discontented popula
tion towards the new Mussulman empire which
is being established in Western China, and the
Kussian soldiers considerably harassed by tbe
guerilla operations of Sadyk, the 8chaniyl of
the Kirghiz fsteppes, encouraged by the indepen
dent populations of Yarkhand, Kbokand, and
Kasbghar.
Early In May Fadyk carried off a Russian
officer with some of bis mec. The Beg of Samar"
kand and tbe Emir of Bokhara were ordered to
interfere, but without any effect. So Colonel
Abramoff, of the Russiau army, despatched a
force of Cossacks, with guns and rocket stands,
to punish the villages of Bogdan-Ata, and
Umma, lying in the mountains about sixty -seven
miles west of Jeesakh.
The inhabitants fled on his approach, and
the commandant had to content himself with
burning Umma. 8o it is regarded a3 very
probablo here that both, the Emir and the Rus
sians have made a peace looking to a mutual
advantage.

THE GREAT FLOOD.
Tbe Fresbet War Baltimore The
Ca-
lamltjr at KUleott City, Md.
The Baltimore American of this morning say?:
Tbe calamity at Ellicott City Is described by
MUs H. C. Adams, Principal of Western Female
High Brhool No. 1 of this city, with trreat clear
ness. Misr Admns was sitting with a cu l l tn
tbe huuse ol Mr. Ulbnons, and looktns np the
rlvir, called tbe attention of tbe child to the
water, which wa coming down in a wild man
ner, but which she supposed was not unusual in
a shower, although no rain had then fallen
at fclhcott City, except a few
patterinsr drops, since day-break. Within
ten minutes of her flr.it notice of the
coming water, the bouses on the tongue of made
land between the race and the river were cm off
ir ni all communication ou ettner side. I'ree-t,
log, debris of every kiud, aud the bndce above,
BAtpt down Ibe liter on one ride, anil throuah
the race on the other with f'urlul velocity, cut
ting off all comtnun'cation with the main land.
Dr. 0lnp, whose bouse was on this tontrue of
the land, bad but a few minute before left his
lanuly, much against the lenionstrauces ot bis
wile, who bad become alarmed at the
threatening as.ect of tho sky; aud only
aner three messages were sent, he lit
to return to it no mort'. He had baMy
reached the bridpe on his return, then lookim;
forward, he sw tbe Hood comma down, and all
the huses on tbe small brcndib of land between
the raceway and the river, not only ourro indod
with water, but tnatth flood had already driven
them into the second sory. Dr. Uvvmss took
refuee in the house of Mr. Gibbons, n t a hun
dred teet trora his own dwelling, and called to
Lis wife, advising h'.T bow she tboul.t act lor tbe
safety of herself and children bv her side.
Speedily the water orove her and the children
to lhe root, where, clinging to the chimney, they
seemed somewhat secure, but tbe rOv.-kinet of
the bouse a three-story tramp oon caused
the chimney to fall. Meanwhile. Mr. Mars
chane, being in the house above, reached up to
Mr?. Owinc's a babv three weeks old, suppi-dng
it would be safer there than in h-r own mater
nal arms. Mr. O wings was seen to hold it as
lonir as she lived.
Dr. Owincs, calling across the race, as bis
house floated irom its foundation and lodged
against the next bidow, din.-ced that the walls
ot ihe adjoiniug houses should be cut through.
This was done by Mr. Fountain, and thus, as
one house after another fell, work'ng most
heroically, this noble man cut through the walls
of seven hoiies, until they came to the last in
the row. This house was occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. l'atridge, who had sold it very recently,
and were to leave it ou the following day for a
new lioiic tn Virginia.
In this hou.e all the oeenpauts of the six
bouses above were aeemhled. A-'l the other
hotn-es Imd fallen and drifted awav, but this, for
a time stood firm asainst the torrent, and there
was a sliebt hope that it might be saved. Sud
denly it was seen to waver, and in a moment
more, jiith all its precious burden of children,
women, and men men powerless agiint that
flooJ. althoueh within a hundred feet of solid
ground-it tell with a terrific crash, and not oue
soul was saved.
That Dr. Owings lost bis reason and endea
vored to fhrow himself iuto the current aad
was only held back by strong men; that men
put their hands over their eyes as house after
house fell, and cm'.d not look upon the terrible
sight; that the last shriek of desoair whs too
much for the loving, living friends, and they
were forced to stop their ears, will give our
readers but a faint idea of the horrors of this
terrible calamity.
Miss Adams does not refer to anything except
what she saw, and the above, it must be re
membered, ts onty one of the Incidents of the
destruction of Ellicott City.
