by a cry of anguish and the startling an
nouncement of Johnson, " I've stuck this
alau,' made him look - up, when he saw
13evras clutched tightly in Johnson's arm. In
stantly men were sent aloft to ascertain the
cause et Johnson's expression,Wheu they were
horrified -- to . - find • Bevru.s - -- had been
stabbed in the left side by the man
who held him, and was even then in the
agonies of death,the blood spnrfing in a thick,
hot stream from the - wound. After, they could
lower the victim_ of Johnson's deadly knife, he
was placed in the forecastle and every effort
made to put back his intestines,-Nwhich were
protrunieg, but ail attempts proved unavail
ing, a.s.the terrible gash required the practi
cal hand of a ski It gem,. do soon as the
dying - uran - was — malte - as -- ernufortable as — the
eircinnstances would permit, Captain Laven
.ler called Joh meon.aft twins : cabin, and asked
him "why he had committed such a terrible
deed lie did not seem to appreciate his hor
rible crime, and as he sauntered carelessly
away, said : " Well/ it was dune in a passion.
13evrus died twenty-four hours- atter he was
NN 0 um - led, - ati t t, sea.
As two of the mc•t( before the mast at the
time:of the murder Were 'sick, Captain Laven
der was compelled to allow Johnson his liberty
and required him to perform his vt'oric as
befOrti, which, to hitt,ereditlet it be said, was
done quietly, and without a word being
spoken to hint by the crew of the terrible oc
currence of that at ternoon.
Before fierrus breathed-his last he sent for
Captain La vender.a iaLtold bin] "-that he-had
not given Johnson any cause to stab Lim ; that
Le was standing on the radius in his hare feet,
which hurt them badly, when he quietly asked
Johnson. who had his shoes on, if:_he would
nut change positions with Lim. Johnson petu
lantly toiclainied,. in answer, 'lf you don't
shpt up, stick you." Well, come on,'
Btlyrus returned, and Johnson came down
and.,cut him."
Bevrus also told the captain that ho was
born in Switzerland, Was twenty-three years
of age, and requested him to write to his
iather of the nature-of, his death s which he has alone, thine, testifying to his quiet,' gentlemanly
habits and willing disposition.
Yesterday afternoon Johnson was called
upon in his cell in the, First PreCinet Station
House. He is rather a gomblooking young
' man, of an intelligent appearande, and seems
evervilling else but. a murderer. An hour's
contint-nit nt liad had, seemingly, some etlect

&The Herold says: • .
. To the many terrible tragedies committed on
the - ocean by cold-blooded men there mast be
added another fearful murder, perpetrated in
the heat of 'passion, anti, so tar ua known,
without the toast possible- justification. The
bark Morning Light, Captain 'Joseph
A. Lavender, arrived in this , port yesterday
morning from Buenos Ayres, and,- reaching
the East river,.set his color Audon__dowm, to
attract the attention .of otlicers on shore.
About eleven o'clock Patrolmen Dougherty,
belleek and Doyle, of the First Precinct, pro
cured a small working boat at ' Whitehall slip,

H. Johnson had, cm the 22t1 of April last,foully

they were aloft discharging their duty in scrap

Rochester, in the year 1848, but subsequently
removed with his parents to a small town__
7froin-- - Torontoi.
where his father, a roan of respectability and
note, is a practicing physician. Thomas, al
though a - loving - Character, is adjudged by hie
comrades to have been of quiet, gentlemanly
demeanor generally, but possessed of a tem
per at times of a nature uncontrollable, and
hich has placed him in his present terrible
position..
Several of the seamen on board the Morn

for-substitutes he blapped Johnson and Bev

A London correspondent of the -Tribune
says . •
The new edition of the Bible long talked of,
with whatis called-the Speaker's Commentary,
is under way, and the prospectus of It has
.been put forth. If one may judge from the
advertisement, this is to be an - efliirt to coun
teract the kind of influence which scientitie
teaching has had upon the Biblical cosmogony,
upon some or its historical narratives, and so
on. It used to be the distinguishing claim of
Protestantism that it dared put the Bible in
the hands of, the people Withoutnote or com
ment:of any kind. Now -v.e are told the
want of a plain explanatory comment
ary has long been felt, and " the great
object of such a commentary intytt be to •put
the general reader in full possession of what
ever information may be reutiiiiite to enable
him to understand the Word of God ; to give
him, as far as possible, the same advantages as
the scholar, and supply him with -satisfactory
answers to objections resting upon-'misrepre
sentations of - its content:o - The key-note of
the new commentary wip,l.lmar ne,.be found
in the clause above. - The present _attempt
grew out of a suggeitiOn of the honorable and
wait Speaker. of the `House of ,Ccitnmons in
1861 ln conjunctiOn v - fith -- a number of the
principal bishops, be has oFganized the work.
The authorizedversion is to be reprinted
without alteration,; 4 ' but We notes forming
this Commentary will give amended transla
tions of all passages proved to be incorrect in
our version." We are further assured that
"the Comment -will--be chiefly explanatory,
presenting, in a concise and readable fora",
the results - of learned investigations r carried on
in this and other countries during the last half
"century." Much the most celebrated investiga
tions carried on in this country, during the
last half century, have been those of Bishop
Coleus°, but on turning to the list of editors
forthe Pentateuch I- do not find Bishop
Colenso among them, - nor -- yet any of the
German writers, on whose labors those of Co
lenso were founded.. The general editor is the
Rev. Carion"Cootr, of Exeter, under a kind of
supervision by the Archbishop of York (Dr.
Thomson), in -consultation with the Regf us
Professors of Divinity . of Oxford and Cam
bridge. The whole work is divided into ei ht
sections, as follows: 1. The Pentateuch. "2.
The Historical Books. 3. The Poetical Books.
4. The Four Great Prophets.. 6._The Twelve -
Minor Prophets. 6. The Gospels and Act
7. The Epistles of -St. Paul. 8. The Catholic
Epistles and Revelation.--To each section
special editors are assigned, each taking some
book or books, or portions of --_a book. Ex
treme men seen:it° be shut_ out,—that is, ex
tremely High or extremely Low, churchmen,
the result of which is naturally_ to_ exclude
some of the ablest Biblical critics. The names
of Dean Stanley, Jowett, Colenso, and Pusey
are conspicuous - by their absence. Safety
seems to have been the ruling motive in selec- --
tion, and the most eminent men - among this
safe party are perhaps Archbishop Thomson
himself, Prof. Bawlinson, Prof. Plumptre,
Bishop Thirlvrall, and Dean Manse].

the fire was first discovered in the office of
the Minting Company. The alarm was
promptly given, and the fire department was
soon upon the around. The flames. fed by the
inflammable material with which the building
was filled, spread with great rapidity, and in a
comparatively short time had reached the
upper floors. District-Engineer Reynolds,
who was in command, seeing that the fire
would be a large one, ordered a second alarm
to. besounded, and brought-to the spot
ditional number of engines. With their aid
the flames were confined to the -Caxton
Handing.
The thiee upper floors were burned out,
and their contents destroyed. The basement,
first, second, third, and sixth floors, were oc
cupied by the New - York Printing Company,
Charles E. Wilbour, President. The Com
pany, in addition to the city and county print
ing, also did a large amount of work fur pub

bad also-an : extenSive job-room. The book
composing-room was on the sixth floor, and
contained an extensive. assortment of type,
which was completely ruined. The stereo
type plates were in their vaults in the,

third floors were saved, but were deluged with
water. A good portion of the printing mate

the intercepted letter; ho remarked that
he hadn't shot Richardson for seducing
his wife, but because he had done wrong.

faithful as any woman alive. Said he came to
see me that I might testify. He said if Rich
