The following are tlio most Interesting por tions of the examination beforo Judge Lock, of Monroo connty, Florida, in the mutter of the Key West tragedy: W. T. Tlno, Marshal of tho city, heard a shoot ing at about 11 o'clock. 3lst January, in the morning; saw Russell and two Cubans: one of the latter had a pistol, the other a sword; imme diately saw a man wounded and another firing; knew by sight the one who was firing; there were many pistol shots on both sidos; saw a man wounded in the head running out of the hotel; did not see the person killed. Felipe Alonso (Spaniard, wounded) knew Castanon, who was killed in the smoking-room of the hetel; was In bed when the shooting began; put on my clothes and went down carry ing my pistol; when below, met Mateo Oraeco and Rodriguez; they wore firing at Castanon; knew these parties two days before; tried to ire at Orazco, but my pistol would not go off; went into tho parlor to arrange it, when three per sons began fil ing upon me; these were Ora.co. Kodrigucz, and another; I struck a man ou the head with a revolver; I did not know his name, hut think it was Botella: tried to go upstairs, but was caught by my coat-tail and was unable so to do; arrived at tho stairway, I was again fired upon and when I got up was not permitted to return below. N. Lozhdo, Orazco, Rodriguez, and Kosano proposed to fight a duel with Castanon Ln the woods; he agreed so to do; 1 opposed it; every time these persons came to the hotel they attempted to sco Castanon alone; was informed on Bnndav, by a young Spaniard, that a negro had been hired to assassinate Castanon that he bad been followed by this negro, who was dressed in white and had a Cuban flag in his hat; I was wounded In tho head and hand, but could not say who did it; Eugeuio Arias, Carlos Rodriguez, and Alexandre Mondoza proposed to Castanon a duel with Mateo Ora.eo; after wards Rodriguez and Lozano came to pro pose the same thing; my friend Felipe Alonso and I were opposed to this, because wo feared an assassination; Lozano and Rodriguez came many times upon this same busi ness; afterwards they wished to see Castanon privately. Henry Bryant (person of color, who seems to know more about tho affair than any one else) knew Castanon by sight; saw him breakfast in his room, No. 11 Russell House; was at his room at 13 M. to say two Cubans wished to see him; ho went down where the Cubaus were; all went towards tho door where there were other Cubans; they were all arguing and disputing, when one of the Cubans slapped Cas tanon; Castanon threw aside the eigar he had In his month, and gavo buck a Flap to the Cuban, at which moment tho slapped Cubau drew out a pistol; at the same time Castanon pulled out his pistol and moved back towards the door of the parlor; when near the door of the reading room the Cuban fired; Castanon fell, but while on his knees fired at the Cuban; there were three men beside Castanon when the firing began, but the other two I could not identify. THE CLACK K1YER TRAGEDY. Particulars of thn ANnsdnntlon of General St. John Lditdidl. The New Orleans J'iwynup. publishes the statement-of -iwr-CTc-wltnei-s of the killing of General Liddell on the New Orloaus and Camden packet St. Marv's. The murder was the result of a long-stauding feud, which, it Is said, had been renewed in some way in connection with the transactions out of which grew tho killing of John Nixon, Jr., at tho Boston Club rooms in New Orleans. The boat was on her way to New Orleans from Camden, and was laying at Garrett's landing, taking on cotton, wheu Cuthbert and William Jones, sons of Colonel Charles Jones, came on board and said that their father was to get on the boat at his lauding, a) he was going to New Orleans with cotton. This came to General Llddell's cars, and ho asked one of the clerks of the boat to let Jones kuow that he was on board, and that be had better not come ou. This was told to the two young Joneses, who went on shore and started for their home, about one mile below. When the boat reached Jones' Landing, Colo nel Jones was seen on shore, with hh trunk ready and having some twenty bales ol cotton to ship, 'lho boat had considerable trouble to muke her landing, and General Liddell, with Colonel Morrison and a Mr. Marbury, sat down at the ollleers' table and commenced to dine. Colonel Jones came on board; and as ho passed the table, going aft, ho looked at tho General, who laid down his knife and fork and rose in his seat. Colonel Morrison laid his hand on General Ijddell's shoulder and said "Stop, General." When Colonel Jones had passed about ten or fifteen feet he turned aud fired directly at Geu. Liddell, who fell, aud whilst falling drew his revolver and fired at Jones, who again fired, the shot also apparently taking effect. Tho two sons each fired one or two shots. The ball from General Liddell's pistol missed its aim aud lodged ln the top of tho cabin about twenty-five feet from where the General fell. General" Lid dell did not speak after he was shot, but died immediately. Upon examination it was found that ho had been struck three times, two of the balls enter ing very near the nipple of the left breast, aud one in the neck. There were four other bullet holes found in the wood work near where ho fell. After the shooting Colonel Jones called ou Colonel Mor rison to arrest him, but it appears no actual steps to do so were taken by the gentleman named. Colonel Jones and his sons then went on shore, and the boat returned to the Liddell plantation with the body, where it was left in the charge of Colonel Morrison. NORTH CAROLINA. A CrUlH In tli Stnte rolltlcs-AIIeired Corrupt t'ondlllon of the lnKttliitiire. The Raleigh standard of tlie 21st inst. pub lishes a display leader addressed '"To the People of North Carolina," in which it says: The course of the Legislature has been such that it has lost the confidence of the people ot North Carolina. Wo have long known this, aud have repeatedly warned it that the time would come when no party would be willing to sustain it. There are some good men in it to whom very much credit is due for the manner in which they have battled for the right. But their ef forts have been unavailing. Bad and unscru pulous men have obtained a crowd of weak minded members, and now control tho Legis lature. Jts every act now directly injures tho State. Under pretense of benefiting the people, bills are passed which are antagonistic to the intc-let-ts of the people. - It has ruined the credit of the State. It has, led by men who care for nothing but their unworthy selves, passed laws which will render its namo Infamous forever and forever. We denounce this Legislature as unworthy the support of the Republican party, or tho support of any honest man, irrespective of e denounce a majority of Its member n. unfaithful to tho trusts which they received lrom tue peopie uu bo uuiortuuately elected t hem. We refuse to recognize this Legislature as a Republican Legislature. Enough Republicaus ln the Legislature turned iniinn to e-lve the Dower into the linnd. nt Democrats. They have used that power, and have done everything possible to Injure the people aud to disgrace the Bute, la a few week more they Intend to kick aside their miserable allies, and to proclaim that tho deeds they themselves have done are a part of the re cord of tho Republican party. It would bo falso, but lalsehood is a "Democratic" virtue Tho time for protests has passed they have prmed unavailing. Tho time for action has come let It be such as will prove the might of a betrayed and in jured people. We call upon tho people of North Carolina to repudiate men so regarolcss of tho welfare of tlio people and of the honor of the Stato. ' Let tho Republicans of every city, town, and village in the Stato hold meetings In which they shall solemnly deny all sympathy or connection with the Legislature which now misrepresents tie people ot North Carolina. Let them' condemn the wanton wnetc of tho people's money, the many weeks of useless wrangling, the stain brought upon the honor of North Carolina by the Leglslature.that tho world mny know that the Republicans of North Caro lina have no sympathy with the Assembly whose deeds havo dishonored tho State. R0CJ1EF0RT. Whnt Vn to JInve Keen Done With lllm nnit How lie Vn Arrested Thn Jlarrl rnrtr. ' 1'aius, Feb. 0. Roehefort has been arrested, as the cable will, long beforo you receive this, havo told you, and he is now ln St. l'olagio Prison. However facile may be tho conversion of Pre fects a la Saul to Prefects a la Paul, of Orleanlst to Liberal Imperialists, aud of Liberals such as M. Ollivlcr to humble servants of tho empire, they havo a hard task before thcin who expect to make anything less gentle or less wily than an inquisitor-general outof Father Pietri. Who can fancy him acting otherwise than by means of plots, subterfuges, disguises, und tho rest of tho mysterious enginery by which ho has made tho secret police a superstitious terror to the crowd. The army, whoso soldiers, mute, sullen, regardful, meet one at ever' turn, a mighty and overwhelming forco wielded by tho hand of one man, the despotic instrument ol a despot, presents itself as a material warn ing ana threat, luo ponce lorcc, in its sombre ;arb, half soldier, null priest, as silent, as sul cn, and regardful as tho soldier, has a greater air of mystery, and suggests a more pervading power. Both these powers nro Irresponsible to public opinion, and perfectly regardless of it, and between the bright uuiform of tho soldier, from which the eye cannot escape, and which makes a poiut in every Parisian prospect, aud tho dark dress of the police olliccr who, always present, is never seen till closo at hand, a force Is brought to bear on this people that thus far has succeeded in making them a race of slaves. All their wit, all their cultivation, all their wealth, all that makes tho assertion seem ridiculous, avail nothing against the logic of laets. Slaves incy nave been trained to be. slaves they are, and slaves they must remain for many a long year to come. 1 declare to you that often, in "my weariness of spirit with the watching this perpetual domination of tyranny, poor little concord, witn its ono i-.merson, seems to be worth all Paris, aud tlio State that could produce a Lincoln worth all France. lo como back to lioehetort s arrest. It was managed in this way. It was believed that he would bo arrested after the adjournment of the sitting of the Chamber on the 7th instant. Ho had been notified that the time allowed him after tho pronouncing, of, his sentence had ex pired, and ho was invited to deliver himself up a prisoner. Jlo, In terms not quite so polite, refused to do so, and, going to tho Chambers, toolv tils scat in Ills accustomed place. A conference on the subject ot Voltaire had been announced for that night, by Messrs. r lourens and lloeuelort, aud you may well be lieve that there was a tremendous crowd col lected about the Salle do la Rue do Flandres, where the conjmnce was to take place. It was a demonstrative crowd, too, making no pre tense to conceal its sympathies, and tilling the air with tho Mar.ieHlaisc, tho J.aivpion, cries of Vive' Jiochefort, Vice la Jicpublique, a has T Empire, Arc., tc. Flourens arrived first, and making his way to tho hall with difficulty, announced that Rechcfort was certainly coming, and tried to keep np their spirits by assuring them that tho Government wouldn't dare to arrest a Deputy. Meanwhile Roehefort reached the street in which the Hall is situated, and dismounting from his cab was making his way through the crowd, when a few police olllcers disguised as ouvriers seized him, cryinir. '"Vive Roehefort," and mounting him upon their shoulders were surrounded bv a cor don of other pretended ou or krs, and in this way pushed along towards a gate that barred a pas sago opening nearly opposite the Hall and ' leading to another street paral lel with the Rue le Flandres. This passage, of which the crowd was either iguo rautorhnd forgotten, had been probably fixed upon by the police for their purpose, aud tho trick was no doubt very cleverly managed. As soon as Roehefort had been got insido tho gato It was shut aud locked, and the police with their prisoner hurried along to tho other end. Here there is auother lence with, a gate, and the police ordered the concierge to unlock it, which she did with a good deal of reluctance, but 'twould be a bold man or woman in Paris who would long debate with a policeman, so the gate was opened and there stood a volture that had been made ready, into which the captors aud their victim entered and drove rapidly olf to tho prison. Meanwhile the news quietly reached tho hall that Roehefort was taken, and created a great excitement. M. Flourens. whom you may remember as tho one who disputed with Roehe fort about taking the body of Victor Noir to Paris, had now no one to dispute his right of initiative, and ho took it boldly in a way for which 1 greatly. fear ho will suffer severely. Drawing a pistol, ho exclaimed: "I declare the revolution begun," and discharged it in the air. The Commissionaire of Police declaring the meeting dissolved, the crowd became furious, and began to maul and hustlo that supernumerary. Ho was in danger of his life, when Flourens, seizing him by the collar and presenting his pistol to his heart, told him ho was a dead man If he spoke. He then exchanged his pistol for a sword, which he drew from a sword-cane, and waving it about his bead, drew the whole crowd after him into the street. Strangely enough, there was no forco visible either of soldiery or of police, there being even fewer of these last than is ordinary, and no attempt was made even to disturb Flourens, who, still holding the com missaire, marched along the Btrect in the midst of the mob, filling the air with shouts and cries for vengeance. ' The non-appearance of the military seemed to inspire them with about equal hope and fear, and in spite of the noise ana Booming fury, there was a want of that deep emotion and feeling that filled them on the day of Victor Nolr's funeral. If Roehe fort were a different man, and if Flourens had been a different man two deadly "ifs," yon see the issue of that night would nave also been vastly different. 'Twould bo long to tell all the events of the night, and as they have thus far led to nothing, 1 will not go into them in detail. A few feeblo attempts at barricades were made, the passengers being ordered to descend from two omnibuses, the vehicles bangod over on their sides, and a rude, in effectual barrer constructed with them, and the loose stones about a building going np near by. In other places, cabs were more or less politely emptied of their occupants and tipped up in the same fashion, but when It came to manning the barricades the stuff was wanting. When the soldiers came on the ground, tho ouvriers. and I am sorry to say M. Flourens with them, disappeared from the scene. The truth is that for any effectual move ment of this sort if indeed any such movement be any longer practicable iu Paris- two things are wanting, arms and experi enced leaders. The revolutionists have neither; and besides, the intellect of the Repub lican body Is wholly opposed to tho old fashioned methods. They believe ln fighting tbe Empire with ideas, and establishing the future republic on the same sure foundations. They are patient and confident, and they have the sense to sco that in a question of material force the Emperor has them wholly at a disad vantage. Still, though it may be barbarous to say it, one could wish to see a disposition in the body of tho people to sacrifice something for liberty. But they do not think it worth while to sacrifice anything jy. Y. Tribune. THE CITY OF BOSTON. Apprehension for IheMafrtv of thn Nteainer 1 went y-one I)ny Nine wlie wu Heard If torn i lli-nnlpllon of the Vmnel. ' Nothing has been heard from or of the steamer City of Boston, of tho Inman line, which left New York on the 25th of January, and cleared at Halifax on tho 28th, for Liver pool. Sho has not been spoken, as far as yet ascertained, by any vessel. Tho missing steamer was built by Messrs. Todd & McGregor, at Partlek, near Glasgow, and was launched ou the 15th of November, 184. Sho Is a remarkably fine specimen of naval architecture, having, like the rest of tho numerous llect belonging to tho Inman lino, been built with especial earo, and has always received the highest premium at Lloyd's, aud been ranked in tho highest classification by tho Association of Underwriters in Liverpool, i In her general build and aspect tho City of Boston bears a strong resemblance to the splen did steamer, which in speed rivals those of the Cunard line, tho City of Loudon, belonging to tho same company, and as well as the others which constitute tho Inman licet she is large, commodious, and handsome, and is propelled by engines of great power. Tho City of Boston is an iron vessel, and in her construction the greatest care was taken iu selecting the very best mate rial as regards tenacity aud strength, while every attention wnn paid to secure speed, safety, aud comfort to all on board of her. Besides being a mail steamer she is designed as a passenger ship of tbe first order, and is 305 feet long in the keel and four rake, aud measures 33,2 feet in length over all; her moulded beam width is 3'J feet, and she is 27 feet 0 inches deep in tho hull, from the bottom of her hold to the spar deck. She Is of 2278 tons of the old measurement, and Is pro pelled by twe engines ol 300 horse-power (nomi nal), and was built with a threo-flange propel ler, but the engines arc capable of worklug up to considerably more than 000 horse-power. Tho City of Boston, like the rest of the Inman lleet. is 6hip-riggcd, a largo spread of canvas being assigned to her to act in aid of her pro peller in securiug steadiness and speed in suit ing. The ribs, beams, and plating of this fine vessel arc all exceedingly strong and built of the best material, tho wholo of tho framing is securely bound together by heavy stringer plates and ties, and the ship is transversely divided into eight compartments by seven strong and well-secured water-tight bulkheads, which reach from the keelson to tho upper deck. As might well be supposed in so large and fine a ship, the passenger accommodations on board the City of Boston aro of the very best descrip tion. The principal saloon is 40 feet long by IS feet wide, and is 7 feet fl iuehes high in tho ceil ing, and is fitted up with the usual luxurious elegance which characterizes this lino. Tho state-rooms connected with the saloon aro capa cious, well-furnished, aud elllcioutly supplied with tho moans of ventilation. Of these there are a sufficient number to accommodate upwards of a hundred first-class passengers. The accom modations for passengers of tho second and third classes are also ample and of the best kind. Every department eonueeted with the management aud working of tbe ship, which is under tho command of Captain Halerow, is of the very best description, and consequently every; hope is entertained of her ultimate safety. Sho is provisioned for fifty-eight days, and this apart from her cargo, which consists ln a great measure of supplies of food. Tho following is tho passenger list of tho City of Boston on her departure from New York: Mrs. M. Cosgrove, V. A rchihald. Mr. uuiquenc, A. C. Morton, Mr. Roland anil wife, w. ji. coonrane, J. Whittaker and wife, 'James Cosgrove, lourcnuuren.anu miuur, .Mr. pawner. Dr. Tapper, ;H. J. McDonald, Allan KtibH, wife, child, 'James McKtunou, and infant. John Leveslv, Tames Aosliead, M. A.

ICevelatlonn of tbe Career of a Wonderful Mriimp How he Wooed and Won Hhh Van. key. and How be Hulited bin Aloner Where he Operated, and What he Think of Ijlfe. Since tho arrest of "Count" Otto von Bellow at New Providence, on Monday, and tho brief i spate of his financial and amorous escapades published in the papers, additional revelations havo been vouchsafed by tho duped parties, in cluding members of the young lady's family and tbe pastor of the church of which she is a mem ber, which proves him to bo an adroit and ac complished adventurer. Tho young lady's name is Mary E. Conkey. CAItEUll OF THE KICE YOUNG MAN. . He had been but a short time in this country prior to his arrival in Elizabeth, although he speaks tho English lauguago fluently, besides being a perbon of pleasing address and winning manners. ' HE JOINS THE CHl'KCH. After domiciling himself in that city, he be came a member of tho Broad Street Baptist Church, of which tho Rev. Dr. Miller is pastor. Miss Mary E. Conkey was also a member of tho same church and a contralto singer in the choir. Miss Conkey was worth about 4-10,000. nis WOOING. After a time spent in wooing tho fair MI63 Conkey, and an engagement bclug effected, tho complacent Count took up his residence with her family, and the marriage shortly afterwards ensued. The mother and tho pastor (Dr. Miller) were dissatisfied with the match. But tho young lady was eaj;cr to become a countess, aud the matrimonial bond was duly scaled. HOW HE RM8KI1 MONET. Soon after ho induced Miss Conkey to sell her property on Jefferson street, Elizabeth, and Eurehaee a villa at Wcstfleld. Here, as alleged, o represented himself as a doctor of good standing in Brooklyn, and, to give plausibility to his pretensions, several of his associates visited him there, ostensibly to seek medical advice. Besides being a disciple of Eseulapius, ho introduced himselfas an agent of the firm of Spaulding & Halleek, Wall street brokers, and thus succeeded in obtaining mouey from the following persons: niS VlfTIMg. William Burshaus, $2800; Oscar Marsh, $150; Charles Conkey (brother to the young lady), $2000; Mrs. Coukey (mother to tho young lady), fr:i500, besides several smaller sums from various others. Charles Marsh, a friend of tho Conkey family, also loaned him fiaoo to defray tho ex penses of his nuptials. WHEKE HE OPERATED. When his creditors found no returns forth coming for their Investments they commenced to doubt the finauclal integrity of the gentle manly Otto, and on watching his movements discovered, as alleged, that his operations were confined to the New York gambling housos and not Wall street. FOUND OUT AND AKKEBTED. Indignant at being thus victimized, they sought redress by procuring his arrest and in carceration on a charge of obtaining money under falso pretenses. A DEVOTED WITE. Despite all these accusations and tbe maledic tions of hi victims, tho p',tlab!o young vlfo is unswerving In heraiioetlon, and still allirnis that bis character is wlrhout reproach and their tnntnsl lovo unabated. Yctcrday morning she vlflted him In his rell, remaining nearly an hour. At her ilc.artnre she told Mr. Ward, tire jall worden's wife, that she was prepared to share bis fate, even to tho poor-houso. Ill M)HI.E CONNECTIONS. Dr. Miller states that at the time of hie mar riage ho attested that his mother was aousin of Count Von Bismark. MOKR LOAN. Last evening it was dhoovercd that a man named J. J. Coyne, a gas-fittor of Eli.abclh, wa another creditor to tho amount of $100, and that at the lime of his arrest he was negotiating a loan with a Wall street broker named E. V. Demmock. Ho will bo arraigned before the Court of Special Sessions on Monday, when all the witnesses are expected to be present. "QUEER" AND QUEER PEOPLE. Krooklyn an the Home of Conntrrfeltera-A .llynterloan llox and Trunk. The latest counterfeiting case, upon which the Brooklyn police and United State authori ties have been working very diligently for tho past two or three years, furnishes an additional chapter to tho many interesting ones which have been given heretofore by that city. The story In this case hinges upon a myste rious trunk which had been loft by some party in a house on Cnderhill avcouo which had boon rented by ex-Aldonnan Tlcrran, and which the curiosity of the oeenpant, ln whoso charge the trunk had been left, led him to open. It appears that about two years since a man named J. B. Doylo routed lho houso on Cndorhill avenue from Alderman Tlcrnan, and as ho appeared to bo a very worthy man, the alderman loft a por tion of his furniture with him for safe keeping. Subsequently Mr. Doylo left the premises and requested Mr. Dumphy, tho gentleman who took the house, to allow him to leave a box and trunk which it was not convenient for him to remove at that time. Mr. Dumphy pro mised to do so, and those remained ln the honso for a long time, when the curiosity of Mr. Dum phy was attracted towards them, as there ap peared to bo no signs of tho owner ever turning up again. The house, It should have been stated, stands on the Prospect Park property. Mr. Curtiu, who is agent for the commissioners, had occasion to go to the house to collect tho rent from Mr. Dumphy, and during ono of his visits Mr. Dumphy related tho clreuuisUnoes of the former occupant leaving a mysterious trunk and box in his care. On a consultation they decided to open them, and ou doing so were greatly sur prised to fiud that they contained property which might not be considered altogether safe for a man to claim. Mr. Curtin reported the matter to tho Prospect Park Commissioners and they had tho trunk and box removed to their office, at tho corner of Livingston aud Court streets. They then informed the United States Marshal, aud ho ln turn transmitted tho facts to Washington. Colonel Whitley, of tho Secret Service, visited Brooklyn and made an investigation into tho affair. He said that he believed, from tho description which had been given him of Mr. Doyle, bo must bo the gentle man the United States authorities had been looking for about five years. The first box contained tho following pro perty: Ono hand-press, one box of sulphuric 'acid, one box of muriatic acid, one box of shellac, one Jeweller's eyeglass, two metallic plates, ono steel roller No. 1, one inch diameter; one do. two inch diameter, one bowl of black lead, five pounds of sulphate of iron, one brass conduct ing rod for batteries, five rods with wire attached, a small soldering iron, five glass jars which had evidently been U6cd for battery jars, a five-gallon stone jar, a jeweller's bench vise, throe jars with lead caps, a saw, pair of pliers, lot of polishing stones, a tin box containing engravers' plates, two pairs of compasses, an engraver's burnisher, a scraper, traciug point, pnnch,papcr of rosin, rotten stone, charcoal, lot of burnish ing stones, two caus printers' ink, five batteries, eight zinc plates, ono fourteen tracing-plate, bottle of quicksilver, a plato plastic wax. Tho second box contained one press, two steel presses, three to four inches square and three quarters thick; been used for patterns, copper sheet 4x8 to Jx7 or 8 polished on one side, a large axe. and a screwdriver. Not a little to the surprise of Mr. Dumphy, he received a call from Mr. Doylo about two months since, when that gentleman stated ho was ready to relievo him of his charge. Mr. Dumphy told him that he supposed he would never call for them again, and added that he bad handed them over to tho Prospect Park Commissioners, where lie might get them. Mr. Doylo prosecuted his inquiries there, when he was informed by ono of tho clerks, who was familiar with the case, that the boxes were locked up and tho gentle man who had the key was out. lie said he would call again, and yesterday he again made his appearance at tho otlico of tho Commission ers to get the boxes. Then a boy was despatched for tho detectives, who had been on the look out for him. Mr. Doylo left the office and was pro ceeding through Court street when he. was taken into custody. On searching him " at Police Headquarters two receipts for tho rent of house No. 789 Lafayetto aveuuo and $500 in greenbacks were found ln his possession. He says they have got hold of the wrong man, that ho has no connection with any counterfeiters, and that he has not been guilty of anything which rendered him liable to arrest, lie says he rented the premises No. 780 Lafayette ave nue for a friend of his, who was coming from the West to occupy them. He gave thorn tho keys of tho house in Lafayette avenue, and told them tbey were welcome to search the place. They did so, and found a quantity of ladies' nnparel which he claimed was his wlfo's. Ho also says that ho is a respectable farmer and his arrest is a mistake. Colonel Whitley has been telegraphed for, and in the meantime the prisoner will bo held by the police. A'. Y.
