Tbe t'ni t the, Imorlxnnpil Nnn-Fnrthrr Par ticulnra ol' llrr .Hciimriioly -' "We gave a few days ago an account of the korril.lo sufferings endured ly an imprUonod nnn of Cracow, in Austrian Poland. A Vionna correspondent of the London Time goes into the case more at length, as follows; While passing in the neighborhood of Cra cow on Friday last, I heard that the whole Own was in a ferment, owing to tho following Knocking story that was just coining to light, and to which further particulars are now added. The papers have since been full of it: A few days ago an anonymous letter, appa rently written by a woman's hand, readied Hie Court of Correction, stating that in tho Carmelite Convent a nun named Uiirbara Abryk had been kept for years walled up in a dark cell. Accordingly the Vice-President of tho Court placed tho information in the hands of an officer, who went to tho bishop and re oriented an admission to the convent. Tho bishop represented that it was sure to be all an invention, but that since tho Court pressed it ho would allow it, and therefore handed over the officer to a priest. The nunnery of tho Carmelites stands prettily situated in a suburb of the town, and close by are the botanical gardens and the promenade of tho Observatory a favorite re sort of the inhabitants of Cracow; and often and often on fine summer evenings have they passed beneath these gloomy walls with out ever dreaming of the sail and terrible tra gedy that has been silently passing there fir the last twenty-one years. The oflicer came to the door with tho com mission, knocked, and was answered by a portress, to whom he said ho had come there to see and to speak to tho nun Harbara. The portress drew her breath with astonishment, fell back a step or two, and said it was impos sible; but while she was turning herself about to go away, the oflicer put his hand on her and forbade her, in the name of the law, to MJr from the spot. The party then entered and was shown through a long corridor to tho room of Sister larbara. It was a cell eight by six feet in size, next the sink; the window had been walled up, and a narrow chink fur nished the only aperture through which, now and then, a ray of light fell upon the gloomy prison. 1 go on in tho words of a Vienna paper: 'In a dark, stinking hole, on a lioap of straw, sat, or rather eowereil, a nakeil, wild-grown, hulf-witted woman, who, at the unusual appearance of light ami human beings, dropped her hands anil implored piteously, 'I um hungry ; pity me, give me meat;! will be obedient.' This dungeon, with its little straw and much tilth, and a dull of mouldy potatoes, with out lire, bed, table, or even chair, winch no suu Btreak cheered or lire blaze ever warmed, Had I lie Inhuman 'Sisters" chosen as the dwelling place lor their should-be companion; there had they impri soned her year after ear since l'or twenty one years did those dreadful Sisters pass that ceil, and to none of them had il ever entered to take compassion on their pour victim. And now, half human, half beast, with Ikt body covered with dirt, with her legs shrunk and withered, with her head squalid, diseased, year upon year long unwashed, a terrible being revealed liei self, such as Dante him self, with all his turners, could not have depicted or imagined. So kneeled there that wolul victim la the Convent of the Carmelites." Tho officer immediately ordered a chemise to be given the wretched creature, and him self went to fetch the Bishop. At the sight of the poor sufferer the liishop was deeply moved, called the nuns together, and, re proaching them violently for their inhuman treatment, said, '"Is this your sisterly love ? Is this tho way you think to conic to heaven ? Furies, not women." And when they would have excused themselves, '"Silence, miserable ones ! you who disgrace religion, away from my sight." He suspended them, and then the Confessor and tho Lady Superior talked of breaking up the nunnery, and sent Barbara to be clothed nnd fed. While she was being led away she asked, anxiously, "Wont they take mo back again to my grave ?" and inquired why she was shut np there. "I have broken my vows, but these, these," darting wildly round, and glaring furiously on the Sisters, '"are no angels." Then, springing at the Confessor, she shrieked, "You beast !" On examination the Lady Superior said she Lad shut up liarbara on the doctor's recom mendation in is IS. The present doctor, who has held the position seven years, stated that he had never even seen liarbara once. In the evening the poor creature became wilder, and it was settled to move her next day to the mad-house. On Friday, therefore, the li.Sd, the commission came again to take her away. On seeing the sunlight and green grass of the convent garden sho became con vulsed with extreme joy, and when one of tho Sisters who accompanied her to the gate ran out when the others, turned back, embraced and kissed her, she was so touched with tho Btrange sympathy that sho implored tho au thor of it to come away with her, and inces santly called for her afterwards on tho road. The fresh air was too much for her, and du ring the journey sho fainteL In her new home Sister liarbara was pro vided with everything comfortable; but at first she kept frequently rising from her lied to lie on tho bare lloor, as sho had been used. Since being properly washed and dressed the wild ness has quieted down, and the doctors have hopes of eventually restoring her to her senses. In the meanwhile, from the time of tho first Visit of the officer, the knowledge of this awful revelation began to spread nlroad and create a sensation of indignant horror throughout tho whole town. On Friday morning hundreds of people had assembled before the convent, smashed all the windows, and crying, "Away with tho nuns," had al ready broken into the interior, when a body of soldiers arrived in timo to protect them. On Saturday the same thing was repeated, in Bpito of adjurations of the papers to the people to wait calmly. 15y the evening two detach ments of soldiers had been called out, for tho mob, which had swelled to four thousand peo ple, after doing what more mischief it could to tho Carmelite Convent, wont off to attack that of the Jesuits and that of the Francis cans. It was a critical hour for tho wholo monastic orders of Cracow. The Jesuit rector was insulted, many Jesuits wounded with atones, and every pane of glass in tho monas tic house was broken to pieces. For those manifestations of their indignation an im mense number of people have been arrested, but a large petition has been sent up to tho Town Council to remove the Jesuits and Car melites out of Cracow. Far into Sunday morning tho disturbances were still going on; later in tho day the Lady Superior and her assistant were taken under a military escort to bo kept in ward, in order to appease the people. Soldiers, however, ttill patrol the town. The Vienna paper asks, 4:And is this tho nineteenth century?"

Lee and Beauregard and ex-fceiwtor Chestnut haye arrjvvd u W.WrV tflll j'lur tynii", W. Ya. NEW REVELATIONS ABOUT IRELAND. MiilMiieittM by n .Mouihrr of llie Irlxli ( onn. hiilnrv. In tho last number of Tindi i'n Mtninr, a member of the Royal Irish Constabulary comes to tho defense of his fellowH in tho force against unfounded aspersions. He says: "I do not think we have had justice done us by tho London press or tho houses of Parliament. It has been admitted that we fought well in tho Fenian business, and laid our plans with ability, but I maintain that we have also all but banished crime in Ireland. Take the aggregate of offensos against pro perty in England and Ireland, and there is no comparison, even reckoning tho difference in population." From this tho transition is easy to a roview of the present coudiiion of Ireland; and from this part of tho writer's interesting paper we take a few passages which confirm tho state ments made by Mr. Trench in his book on the "llealities of Irish Life:" "I remember n case some years since, where ono of tho actual murderers and tho farmer who gave them instructions wore convicted and hanged. The approver gave an account of tho previous conversation between tho men, who had come from a distance, and this farmer. The latter expressed tho greatest regret at tho necessity for putting away a good and charitable person; 'but,' said he, 'what would become of the country if such things as these are allowed?' Tho 'things' alluded to were serving notices to quit upon some small tenants. The farmer himself held by lease, and was under obligation to tho murdered person, as ho proved in his defense, and he no doubt only carried out instructions which he greatly regretted. People who have obeyed tho orders of the society are secreted, either by complicity or from fear, and passed through bogs and over mountains into fishing-smacks or coasters, eventually reaching America. If they escape the first alarm and pursuit, they are seldom caught; and in more than one instance I have been convinced that tho murderer has himself been made oway with nnd buried, lest he should be captured and betray his accomplices or tho secrets of the society. "It is very diflien't to stop these agrarian murders; but as we have put an end to the illicit stills once so rife all over Ireland, I think wo could break up the liibbon-nien by altering certain arrangements. IlK'j ICCTIVICS. "I have mentioned that the barracks should bo well placed for observation. I have now to say a little about detectives. You must know we have curious ideas about them; they are police just like ourselves, walk in fune rals, etc.. nnd are as well known in Dublin as the post -office clock. When they go else where they are speedily betrayed by manner, bearing, nnd conversation to the people they go amongst, even if a full description of them has not already arrived. Now, my idea of a detective is that he should not bo a drilled policeman, hut simply a man to rind out a crime, and only in rare cases, nnd when it could not be otherwise managed, should ho make a capture or be required to give evi dence. Unless most export at disguises, every lime he appears in a witness-box his value is lessened. A line, bol 1-looking fellow, good-tempered but linn, active and intelli gent, may yet Vie, from temperament, a very bad detective. A mean, ordinary-looking, cunning man, apt and smooth, would not do for our constabulary force, but might prove a real Vidoeq for circumventing an assassin. ixroiiMEits. "There is also no doubt that sufficient use is not made of informers. In most cases an in former is to bo found. lut ho will not go on to the table to bear witness in court. He does not like tho bullying in cross-examination, the contempt with which all treat hint; but ho dreads still more tho vengeance after tho trial. Now the English law, in the first place, gives too little latitude to us in questioning suspected persons (and everybody in an agra rian murder is open to suspicion ); and then it places restrictions upon our keeping in cus tody those likely to bo guilty. I do not say that the law is wrong; I only remind you that every man, woman, and child within miles will endeavor to mislead tho "poliss" if possible, and, if the law is bound by certain rules of fair play, tho actual criminal has great odds in his favor. You must take every ad vantage of detectives and informers; and you must assess the district in heavy damages as well, if the criminal is not discovered. Ite meiuber, it is only within a limited district that theso undiscovered outrages exist. How ever well the constabulary may trace tho per petrators of the crime, their exertions will not secure a conviction, unless tho case is tho roughly well got up, and tho condemnatory evidence properly placed before a jury. In my experience I have seen guilty parties ac quitted dozens of times owing to tho slovenly way in which tho evidence has been put together, and the want of care in sifting and comparing it. Il.l.rsTRATIONS. "Ono instance occurs to mo now. Two people who claimed some interest in a farm were murdered; suspicion fell upon the man who had the most apparent reason to get rid of this claim. Tho three lived together; and through tho supposed murderer left tho house a short time before dusk, and did not return for several hours, when ho gave tho alarm, it was proved that tho crime must have been committed just about the timo ho went away. In various ways important links ia tho chain of evidence were omitted, but one of the strongest proofs on which tho prosecution rj lied was the fact of the door of a certain out house being locked, and a weapon, similar to tho one with which tho murder must have been committed, and recently cleansed, being found therein. It was most improbable that tho prisoner would have locked this door and taken away tho key if he had left any one alive to work about tho farm, oven if the jury did not believe tho weapon found therein had been tho fatal one. Tho couus il for tho prosecution pressed all this very strongly, nnd several witnesses proved th it, when asked for the key of tho outhouse, the prisoner produced it from his pocket. But one 01 me last 01 these, in cross-examination admitted that he, being one of tho lirst on tho premises after the alarm was given, found tho door open and tho key in it, whereupon no loeKeii u aim gave u to tne prisoner. After this I felt the caso was virtually over' for an Irish jury rarely overlooks a mistake of this description, nr.d gets an idea that the evidenco is altogether untrustworthy and tho prisoner a persecuted man. Even in ordi nary cases I suspect from reading accounts of trials in England an Irish jury requires more conclusive evidence tlmn a isntisli one. fit TO THE PUBLIC.
