BLhbdej * ahd Suicide Ax Sba . —A fright & il series of tragedies , has occurred on > board the brig Her Majesty , bound from Salonica to . Queenetown , Ireland . One of the crew , an Irishman named Veale , had been very illconducted , during the voyage , and on the day of the catastrophes was found asleep hi the galley instead e-f Ixaflgat work . The captain threw a bucket of water OMfirhim ; on which Veale started up , and , drawing a knife , stabbed Hie capiainshxaeveral places , then wounded the . mate three times * and subsequently , as it is supposed , threw theai bodies overboard . Hte afterwards stabbed two more aeaamen , who ware asleep at the time ,, and one of whom he killed instantaneousl y . Another saiior , named Bald , who -was advancing with a pistol , was wounded twice , and . fell down the
corapanionladilsr ; and subsequently Yeale was heard endeavouring to . scuttle the shi p with an axe . Bald then , went up witlx a . musket , and wounded the murderer ia the leg , Eetneating into the forecastle , and there shutting himself up , "Veale cut his throat , after ia vain attempting : to hang .-himself . The vessel was subsequently navigated into Queenstown by the ship Isabella . Rumours- mentioned ini the Cork , papers point to the necessity for a mcce searchi ng inquiry into these tragedies . It is stated . ' thafc "Veale was known ; on previous voyages , to * be a most quiet and- inoffensive person , who never misconducted ' hknaelf ; and reports are in circulation , whether well or i lL-fbunded , of treatment received by him which would afford a more natural explanation of his condtiat than it haa . hitherto received .

His successor is not yet appointed .
A Disagreeable Occurrence . —The captain of one of the largest English steamers in the port of Marseilles has been removed from his command at the request of a French official . The reason assigned for so . harsh a proceeding is that the captain on his last voyage to the East , having a large transport laden with troops in tow , cast her off , and thus endangered the lives of a number of men . The captain says that , during a gale of wind and with a heavy sea running , lie was forced to cast off tho transport , otherwise a collision would have inevitably taken place , and the safety of the two vessels would have been endangered . To this explanation , the official , who is not a naval man , briefly replied that several similar acts had lately taken place , and that it is necessary to make an example .
The late General S * ran < 3 wats and Admiral Boxkr . —We are quite sure every one of our readers will hear with satisfaction that the Queen has given apartments in Hampton Court to the widows of General Strangways and Admiral Boxer . —Times .
Continental Notes. The Insurrection In C...
CONTINENTAL NOTES . The insurrection in Catalonia appears to be assuming a serious character . It is a rising of workmen , ostensibly for the purpose of obtaini ng higher wages , but having in fact much deeper and more widely extended objects . The movement is believed to have been fomented hy Russia , with a view to a restoration , of the Caxliats in Spam and the Legitimists in France ; but the workmen have issued a manifesto , in which tliey declare that they are dotermiued to support Espartero , and to put to death any Carl is t who may exhibit himself . The Captain-General of Barcelona , Zapatero , is shut up iu the fort of Atarazanas , and not in the citadel , as at ficst reported . The National Guard , for the present , continue faithful ,- and a deputation , has been sent to Madrid . Several flags have been taken from the revolted workmen : on one of these , the words" Working Men ' s Association " were inscribed . Many thousand French Socialist refugees form part of the population of Barcelona ; and it is very probable thtti they have aided in the present movement . A despatch from Madrid , dated July lOii , saya : — "The Cataloniau . deputation lius applied to the Cortes for a bill to organise labour . The Governiaoufc refuses till tho insurgents submit ; and iL i .-s determined to uut against tho Carlista as well an against the workmen . More troops have inarehod for Catalonia . "
Mio one of the chiefs of the late Curlist insurrection in Spain , at ill remains in France , though many of tin other refugees have beou expelled . The Emperor Laware of his presence , but refuses or omits to disturb him . Yet the Spanish Government but recently thanked tho Empcivor for the " loyal" manner in which he had refused to allow the conspirators against Queen Isabulln to Bholtcr themselves on hia territory . Knpartoro has withdrawn hia resignation . Mr . Perry , Secretary of the American Legation at Madrid , hu ? receivod hia dismissal .
