Bristol river at 4.10 p.m., and arrived off the harbour at
8.25 a.m. to-day, thus making the sea passage in sixteen
hours and a quarter. The sea was very heavy.


THE LATE FATAL AFFRAY AT PASSAGE.
------------------
AT nine o'clock to-day, in the Courthouse, Passage,
Mr. Coroner Honohan held an adjourned inquiry into
the cause of death of Guiseppe de Christinia, belonging
to the Italian barque Biaggio, from Palermo, which
took place on Saturday last under circumstances
already detailed. The names of the following jury, who
were sworn on Saturday, were called over :--Henry
Boland, John D. Evans, W. R. Penny, Daniel Hegarty,
Michael Murley, Daniel Murphy, John Flynn, William
Thomas, William Waugh, William Craig, Thomas
Sullivan, Philip Hussey.
Ignazio Tedesco, who stood charged with causing
the death of deceased, was brought into court
handcuffed, by Constable Cannon.
Signor G. Milori, Italian Consul, was present during
the investigation.
Guiseppe Guglielmini, captain of the barque, was the
first witness examined, and gave his evidence through
Mr. Barry who acted as interpreter. He deposed as
follows :--I knew deceased, he was a sailor on board
my ship since 7th September, and belonged to
Palermo ; knew the prisoner, Ignazio Tedesco, who is
also a sailor on board since 10th May, and is a Sicilian
; do not know whether the deceased and prisoner ever
had any difference on board ; was not on board when
they left the ship on Saturday morning and do not
know anything about the occurrence in question ; the
prisoner was a good young man, but the deceased did
not by appearance seem to be so good ; never saw
either of them misconduct himself while on board.
Vincenz Pristiani, a Sicilian and sailor on board the
Biaggio, stated--I left the ship on Saturday morning
with deceased and prisoner ; a little boy, also from
Palermo, accompanied us ; we came ashore to get
water, and there was no dispute or difference between
them either on the water or on the shore as far as I
know ; three of us went to the well ; I remained there
filling the water, and the prisoner and deceased
brought the barrels which were to be filled, each of
them making two trips to the well, after which they did
not return again ; do not know if they had knives with
them at the time, but they generally have them on
board, and take them about with them wherever they
go.
To a Juror--The way I knew deceased was killed
was when the prisoner came back to the well he told
me of it and said he was wouinded himself.
Mr. Flynn (a juror)--I saw the witness coming out
of the field by O'Brien's gate seven or eight minutes
after the man was killed.
The interpreter here again put the question to the
witness, how he knew that deceased was killed, but
witness seemed not to understand what he was asked
and it was some time before and answer could be had.
At last,
Mr. W. D'E. Parker said--Mr. Coroner, the Consul
says they do not understand one another.
The Coroner--Mr. Parker, you are not to interfere
in the matter at all, whether they do or not. You have
no right to interfere.
Mr. Parker--I am well aware of that.
The Coroner--If you interfere again I will have you
removed. You do not understand them either.
Mr. Hegarty (juror)--As there seems to be a
misunderstanding between them, it would be well, Mr.
Coroner, if you had the evidence of the consul who
understands the language better then the interpreter.
The Consul--I beg your pardon, Mr. Coroner, the
men speak the Sicilian dialect, and though Mr. Barry
speaks Italian very well, the two dialects are as
different as possible.
The Coroner--Have we the facts as stated by the
witness, as far as they are on this paper?
The Consul--You have, sir.
The Coroner--Is not that all right, then? I knew very
well the consul would interfere, and he is quite right.
Examination continued--After the prisoner told me
he was wounded, I asked who wounded him, and he
said "the dead man" ; I asked where he was, and he
said "in the field" ; I asked who killed him, and he said
"I did." A little boy then met me and said a man was
dead in the field ; I went with him and saw the dead
body.
A juror--Had they, during the voyage, any
misunderstanding or dispute? No.
To Mr. Penny--There was a Genoese also at
the well.
Mr. Boland--Was there anyone near the dead body
when you went up? No. Had the dead man anything in
his hand? I do not know. I was a little distance from
him, and I did not examine the hand or body.
Patrick Lane, farmer, Maulbane, deposed--I was
coming out my own gate on a message for my master
on Saturday morning, and I saw the two men jostling in
the field. Did you see that man (the prisoner) there? I
could not identify him, but from his dress I think I did,
to the best of my belief ; I saw him afterwards coming
down the road ; in the barrack I thought it was he from
the dress he wore ; but I could not swear plump that
he was the man that was jostling in the field with the
other ; he was trotting down Churchill when I saw him
on the road ; from his dress I would say it was the
same man I saw in the barrack, on the road, and
jostling in the field ; the prisoner is the man I saw at the
barrack.
To Mr. Boland--I saw them scuffling, after which
one fell and the other went away ; did not go to see the
body ; did not suspect the man was wounded until I
went back from Mr. Brien's house ; after falling the
dead man stood up partly and looked at the prisoner ;
had no suspicion of his death at all but heard him
screech. What did you think he screeched for? I did
not know ; the prisoner was then a few yards away,
but when he heard the screech he looked back and the
dead man fell down again ; the prisoner then ran
away.
Mr. Penny--Were they long engaged in the conflict?
They were not after I saw them entangled.
To Mr. Boland--I did not examine the body at all,
but after I met Mr. Clarke's boy I asked him to come
in and see what was the matter.
The Coroner--What has this man to do with the
matter? Why should the man go and examine the
body?
To a Juror--I was twenty yards from the body.
To Mr. Hegarty (juror)--I did not see any knives in
their hands, nor would you (addressing Mr. Hegarty)
either if you were there.
Michael O'Brien, boot and shoemaker, Passage,
stated--On Saturday last the prisoner was brought
into my house by a shipmate ; he was bleeding at the
time ; I did not see a knife with him ; he was bleeding
from his right side ; I think he would have dropped
dead only for the way I bound the wound ; the
shipmate told me to keep the prisoner there for a short
time ; I heard there was a dead man outside.
Dr. Johnson here said that both wounds presented
the same appearance, and but that the rib turned off
the knife, the prisoner would have suffered just as
deceased did.
William Ahearn, labourer, Pembroke, examined on
Saturday last, repeated the evidence on Monday.
Dr. Johnson, medical officer, Passage, stated that he
examined the deceased and also the prisoner, and had
no doubt the wounds inflicted on both were caused by
exactly the same description of knife ; does not think
the prisoner is in any danger from the wound received.
This concluded the evidence, and the court having
been cleared, the jury considered their verdict, which
in a few minutes they handed in, and was to the effect
that deceased came by his death in consequence of the
wound inflicted by the prisoner. Tedesco was then
committed, and the witnesses were bound over in their
recognisances to give evidence at the Assizes.
Mr. Boland, foreman, said it was the wish of the jury
that he would ask the consul if some means could not
be adopted to prevent the sailors, when coming on
shore, from wearing such knives as those used at the
fatal occurrence on Saturday--that not being the first
which took place.
The consul replied that nothing could be done except
to recommend the captains to impress on their men the
necessity of not taking them with them ashore.
The jury also decided, before separating, on
memorialing the authorities in favour of Constable
Cannon and the two sub-constables who arrested the
prisoner, as they were of opinion that but for their
prompt exertions he may have escaped.
The proceedings then terminated.

SHIPWRECK OF THE BARQUE "ELIZA"--LOSS
OF TWENTY FOUR LIVES.
TWO men, survivors of a most disastrous shipwreck,
have this day been landed at Queenstown, and received
into the Cork Sailors' Home. On Sunday last the Eliza, a
barque of 760 tons, Captain SMITH, left Liverpool for
Monte Video, laden with machinery and coals. Her
crew inclusive of officers consisted of twenty six men.
After passing Holyhead the breeze freshened, and it
began to blow strong from the South East. About two
o'clock next morning the wind grew so strong that sail
was shortened, and at nine o'clock in the forenoon the
three top gallant masts were carried away. With the loss
of these spars one man was carried overboard, another
had his leg broken, and a third, one of two landed at
Queenstown, a man named MONTGOMERY, had his arm
dislocated at the shoulder. In an hour after the ship
sprang a leak, and before long she had seven feet of
water in the hold. The ship was then about mid-channel.
All hands were employed at the pumps, but the leak
continued to gain at the rate of an inch-and-a-half every
two hours. The mate, an American named BURNS, urged
the CAPTAIN to bear up for Queenstown, but the CAPTAIN
refused. For twenty-four hours they continue in this
position when the CAPTAIN at last consented, and the
vessel's course was changed for this port. The wind,
however, continued in full force, and the ship laboured
heavily. All at once her three top-masts went by the
board, and shortly after the sea began to make breach
over her. One sea swept her fore and aft, carrying away
with resistless force two boats, and no less than twelve
men, not one of whom was ever seen again. At three
o'clock she was completely awash and sinking. The two
seamen who have been saved, WILLIAM LYONS, a native
of Liverpool, and JOHN MONTGOMERY, a native of
Scotland, got into the lifeboat and cut away the tackle.
The boat was driven clear off the ship, and she was
scarcely parted with it when the vessel went down
bodily, with every soul on board, these two men alone
escaping. A small schooner, named the Aspia, whose
Captain was also an American, named SMITH, and like
the lost vessel was bound from Liverpool to Monte
Video, hove in sight to windward, and picked up the
two men. They were received on board and treated with
the greatest humanity. The schooner getting leaky, she
had to bear up for Queenstown to get pumps repaired.
She fetched our port this morning, when she landed the
two poor fellows who had escaped from the tragical fate
of so many comrades. At the Cork Sailors' Home they
have been received with that kindness the institution is
intended to show those in their unfortunate position, and
every attention has been paid to them by the hon.
secretary, Captain STUART, R.N., to whom, we may
add, it is owing that there exists such an establishment.
The seafaring inmates of the Home generously entered
into a subscription for the shipwrecked men, and
provided them with a sum of money and clothes.
The survivors were the only two British subjects in the
entire crew. All the rest were Americans, and all
strangers to each other, as they had only been shipped
four days before leaving Liverpool.
