"VIRTUE,LlBER'1‘Y,AND irs'iit«:m:ivor:iv'ct:.-_—’3.
A week or two since a Portnianteuu, con-
taining sundry articles of clothing, papers, &.c.
belonging to the Rev. Mr. Baldwin, -an Epis-
copal Clergyman, and a trunk belonging to
the Hon. Noyes Barber, member of Congress
-from this state, containing about 200 dollars
worth of clothing, were stolen from the Mail-
Stage between this place and Stamford, and
on Tuesday‘ last suspicions having rested on a
couple of black fellows named Harry and Jes-
.se Selleck, living in Daricn, they were appre-
hended, and confessed-_.tbeir guilt. It appears
' that Harry, who is an oldoffender, took the
property and gave it to the other to sell, ‘in-
tending to divide the profits. Thegreater
‘part of the articles have been recovered, and
the rogues are now in jail, awaiting their trial.
Huriid J'lIurder.——-On Friday night the 221st
tilt. the body ofa man was found by a Watch-
man in Cuyler’s Alley,.(between “later and
'Frotit.'stv. N. York,) who had evidently conic
- t_o his death by violetfcc, a severe wound hav-
ing been inflicted on the left side ol his head.
Wbenthe body was found it was without any
clothes, except a flannel shirt, which was
drawn up close to the arms :.a.spair of draw-
ers were wrapped ron_nd thchcad, bound on
by a bolster case: one of his feet had been
partially devoured by the rats. Much excite-
\ ment~was produced among the citizens in con-
sequence of such an atrocious act being com-
mitted in one of the busiest parts ofthe city,'_
and on Saturday the Mayor offered a reward
of$l00 for the apprehension of the murderer.
The body was exposed to public view, at the
Aims House,and on Sunday the person ofthe
deceased was identified. ‘He was proved to
be a man_ who had recently arrived in the city
from Boston, of the name ofJanies Murray, a
native oflreland. He had worked in Boston
in a foundery, about 5 years, during which
time he had saved, by economy and hard la-
bour, near 3500, which he brought with him.
It was his intention to go to Buenos Ayres,
but the Rev. Mr. Power-s,of the Roman Cath-
olic Church, with whom he was acqtiainted,
‘dissuaded him from this, and advised him to
go to New-Orleans. He consented, and took
lodgings, till he should have an opportunity to
enibark,witli a man natned John Jolmson,who
kept a sailor's boarding-house. These facts
having been ascertained the Police Officers
arrested Johnson, and after an examination
at the Police office he was committed for fur-
ther inqtiiry. The officers returned to his
house, and after a long search they found in
the cellar, secreted under a board, a sheet, an
axe, and some small articles, all ofwhicb bore
marks of blood. The corner ofa bed and the
headboard were found stained with blood, and
~'there were traces ofblood from the bed room
'-down the stairs, into a lower room, and to a
~trap-door into the cellar. The steps leading
from the street into the cellar were,als_o‘bloody.
Some of Murray’s clothes were found con-
‘cealed in the back yard, and his chest was
found under the bed. In consequence of this
additional evidence Johnson’s family were ar-
rested, but nothing proved against them. On
Sunday it was found necessary to remove the
' body,ofMurray to the Park, and it is supposed
that not less than 20,000
‘view it during the day. On Tuesday morn-
ing Johnson made a ftill confession of, his
- guilt to the Police Magistrates. He ,was in-
duced to do this, he said, for the purpose ofre-
-lievioghis conscience, and to exonerate his
family, whom he declares to be innocent.
It appears frotn his statement, that Murray
supped with the family; that sltorfly after he
proposed to ‘retire, stating that he wished his
trunk to be with him in his bed-room—John-
son told him that his wife being absent he
should sleep with hitn, and took him with the
trunk into the bed room. Johnson remained
with the ‘two other boarders playing at cards
for sortie hours: the_v retired, and Johnson
said he was then impressed with a desire to
possess the money in the trunk of Murray.-
He went into the bed-room, found him asleep,
took from the vest pocket the key, opened the
trunk, and took out two bags of dollars,which
he threw into a uorner. He now became un-
easy, and after a lapse of some time he says
“the devil” suggested to him to kill l!«'Iurray
to prevent a detection of the robbery. He
’ went into the cellar, procured a hrztclit-t, and
went to Murray, who was asleep on bisriglit
side,struck him twice on the left temple which
completed the horrid deed. Johnson then bound
around the head a pairof drawers and a bolster
case,and took him through a trap door into the
cellar. This was on Thursday night; the body
remained in the cellar untilFriday nightwben
he,removed.it to the place where it was found
by tlie.-1"~”atclitnan. -
After he had committed the mtirder, he
-says he became most dreadfully agitated, and
. could not sleep in his own room ; he went in-
to that where his daughters were, and in the
course ofthe night inentioned.it to them, and
' the money was given to his daughter Mary,
who gave it to her brother, an apprentice in
Maiden Lane.
The keeper of the Bridewell states, that
when Johnson was first committed he appear-
ed very indifferent, protesting his innocence,
and declaring that his mind was quite at case.
Mr. Thorp went into his room with blankets,
late in the evening, when he. had laid himself
down-—but said he could not sleep in conse-
quence of not lying easy. Yesterday morn-
ing he also complained that he had not been
able to sleep. This morning he sentearly
for the keeper, and appeared in great agita-
tion. “ The stings of a wounded conscience
who can bear ?” He stated that he passed a
horrible night, and was resolved rather than
die with a lie in histnouth,to confess the whole.
After theabove confession,the son ofJohn-
son was arraigned, and stated that he had bu-.
ried the money on Brooklyn Heights, and ac-
companied the police officers to the spot where"
about 3,880 were found.
The family ofJohnson consists of his wife,
‘a daughter, and four sons. Johnson and his
daughter are in Bridewell—tbe remainder of
the family are discharged: from custody. Ac-
cording to .the statute of New-York the’ pun-
ishment ofthe dauglitergcannot exceed three
years’ imprisonment in the State Prison.
Beware qfi1nposition.—Two persons have
recently'been detected (one in Greenburg, N.
Y. and the otberin Bridgetown, N. J.) in im-
PCFSODS catne I0 '
papérs setting forth the calamities wliicli they
experienced at Valparaiso, in SouthAmerica,
.. by the late earthquake in that city. These
b,,papers are dated only about 2 tnonths back
and as it takes 100 or 12.’; days to make a"voy-
age from thence to this country, suspicions
were excited, ivliicli led to their detection.—-
Upon-the exauii_n'atir_in ofone oftliem, he said
he was a Spaniard, but it was found that he
could not even speak the Spanish language.
It is supposedhe is a Frenchman or an Ital-
ian. While a tnittimus wasinaking otit for
him he escaped. It appears from the papers
ofboth that they have been very successful in
their attempts to defraud the public.
The Greeks.—A writer in the N. Y. Amer-
ican says itis in contemplation to give on the
eighth qfJanuar.i/, the anniversary ofthe bat.
tle of New-Orleans, a Gra‘nd Jllilztary Ball,
on a scale superior to any celebration in A-
merica, the proceeds of which, after paying
the expenses, are to be appropriated to the

rangenients are to be from the 'Division of

were transmitted last year to the Spaniards,
from the rece_i.pts ofa fancy hall at the Lon-
don Opera House. The editors ofthe Amer.-

contributed various sinus of inoney to ml.

has presented to the committee an irgi_n 42
pounder for their servit-.e—tlie same 4-Q pout)"-
der, as we have been informed, that on 1.053;
the Gen. Armstrong defended so gallantly our
own flag of freedom," and which may,we trust,-
be used with like valor and happier result in
defence ofthe Christian bannerofthe Greeks.
I-Ioline’s Hole, it is ascertained that during
the last year not it solitary vessel was engaged

This is cheering intelligence for humanity.
JV‘atchez.-———A letter fr_om Natchez of the
25th Oct. says—‘ I ainsorry to say the fever
continues though not with its former violence
for want of subjects. In the most populous
part ofthe city in healthy seasons, there are
now few persons remaining. Onthe mnskins
ofthe city, and for a mile and a halffrom the
city, it is nearly as bad as ever. Several na-
tives ofthe most respectable fa milies have di
ed within a week with the roost malignant
type offever. We have no frost yet—and un.
til we do have one, it will be unsafe to return
to the city.’ [Another letter dated the 5th
Nov. states that they have at length had seve-
ral severe frosts, and the city is now liealthy.]
On the 29d ult. a meeting was held at Prov-
idence, R. I. and a committee appointed to
draft and forward a petition to Congress,pray-
iug additional duties on imported cloths.
- I-Icnry Clay.-—A letter received by a gen-
tleman at Cincinnati, from a_n intimate friend
of Mr. Clay, says he is still in a dangerous
situation, and that the surgeons had given up
all hopes of his recovery, his complaint being
ofsuch a nature as to cause fears ofhis death.
The ketch Margaret, of and from I‘e.ters-

in the presence of a number ofpeople on the
shore, who could afford them no assistance.
The vessel was driven high on the beach, and

Dfstressirzg Ft°rc.—On the night ofthe 17th
inst-. a large frame building on the east corner
of Market and Liberty sts. Pittsburg, was de-
str()_Vetl by fire, and three persons perished in
t.’u2_/lames. The property was owned, and in
part occupied by Mr. Greer. Other parts of
it were in the tenure ofMr. Kouecke, a young
roan who had recently commenced business,
Messrs Crostwaitc and Borbidge, merchants,
and Isaiah Green, a barber. Mr. Sewell,who
resided in the. adjoining lionse, lost part ofhis
furniture and store goods. The whole loss of
property is estimated at not less than SI-5,000.
The persons who perished in the flames were
Miss Louisa Kunocke, sister ofMr. Konoclte,
his son "William, six years old, and a little girl
named Hetty Latshaw. The progress ofthe
flames were so rapid, that the other inmates of
the family escaped with difficulty. , Mr Kon-
ocke and his wife were considerably injured;
the former escaped bythrowing himself and
child out ofa second story window ; and Mrs.
Konocke was found in a perilous condition,on
the stairs, after the doors were broken in.
The Steam Jlfillat Cincinnati, which was
lately destroyed by fire, ‘ was constructed of
lime-stone, and on the side next to the river
was nine stories high; its length 87 and its
breadth 6% feet, and the walls from five to ten
feet thick.-' It- had 24 doors and 90 windows,
and contained 4 pair of6 feet millstones, ma‘-
cbinery for carding,fulling,and dressing cloth,
an extensive distillery, and :1 large cotton
spinning mantifactory ; all kept in operation
by a steam engine of 70 horse-power.

ately I5 yards from the door; told the family
that he would kill the first one who came near
him ; sat down and took the shoe and stock-
ing from his left foot ;'presented the muzzle
of thegun to his throat, and pulled the trig-
ger with his toe—the gun flashed—he then
picked the flint, primed the gun again, and
proceeding as before, shot himself through
the head and died instantly.

FROM EUROPE.-—T|ie packet ship Co-
lutnbia,Capl. Rogers, ar. yesterday front Liv-
erpool, by which we have received papers of
the 1st Nov. Some of the papers say that
England makes a stand against any further
Europe, and any attack on the new American
States, except by Spain or Portugal, depen-
dent solely on their ownresources. ’l‘he prep-
arations making in the naval arsenals ofEng-
land, appear to strengthen this opinion.
'Riego has been condemned to death.
The health of Louis the 18th, was rapidly
declining. It is said he will not long survive.
It appears that the cause of captain P-arry’s
iadisposition since his return to England, a-
rose from the fact ofa Miss Brown, to whom
the captain was attached, being on the eve of
marriage with a favored rival. Capt. P. had
recovered from the shock.
It is not against the principles of freedom
in Europe alone, that the Holy Alliance in-
tend to limit their operations ; but every ef-
fort, according to the advices received this
day from Paris, is also to be made to put
down, what these Legitimates call, Revolu-
tion in America, and in conformity with this
vast and gigantic resolution, the EmperorAl-
exander has recalled all his accredited agents
from the Brazils, and an expedition is forth-
with to be forwarded from Spain under the
flag of that nation, against the Republic of
Colombia. This expedition is to consist of
twelve thousand soldiers, nominally Span-
iards, but fitted out at the expense of France,
attended by French artillery and engineer of-
ficers, and the necessary number of priests
and licensed spies,wh0 may by bribery,fraud,
and fanaticism, prepare the way for tyranny.

VVe learn, from good authority, that it is a
settled point that France is to continpethe
military occupation of Spain to a certain ex-
tent, and for a definite object, namely, until
the Government of Ferdinand is entirely and
firmly re-establi_shed. In pursuance of this
plan, Cadiz will be occupied by10,000 troops;
Madrid by 5000, and 15,000 will take up po-
sitions along the line of the Ebro. One great
point which it is intended to accomplish, if
possible, is the entire disbanding of the Span-_
ish army, as now constitnterl.—Courier. .

‘ BAYONl\'E,OCt. Ql.——-The political horizon
of Spain'appears still covered with dark clouds
-and it is to be feared that the ‘rigorous meas-
ures adopted by his Majesty may tend to pro-
long, rather than to terminate the horrors of
civil war. The Constitutional troops that
form part ofBallasteros" army are still numer-
ous in Jaen-, Murcia, and a part of Andulasia.
Gallioia is in fermentation, and doubts seem
to be entertained of Morillo. In the Estra-
madura the Constitutionalists lately obtained
considerable advantages, and obliged the
troops opposed to them to‘ retreat towards To-
ledo, leaving a good many wounded at Tula-
vera. _ La Reyna, Carthtigena and Alicant
-refuse to submit, anrl ifthey please, may hold
out longer than the places which have already
surrendered. It may litfapprelieiided that e-
ven the frontier provinces will be scenes or
bloodshed, as soon-as the Fre_tich leave them :
at present they resemble a desert.
A very energetic proclamation of I‘.‘Iina is
spoken of, in which he refuses to obey theor-
der of the King, because it is not counter-
signed by a responsible-Minister. He renews,
it is- said, his declaration that he will put to
death a great number of officers and bishops
ifRiego is executed ; and it is ‘affirmed-that
this menace has produced its effect,‘and that
Riego will be sent a prisoner to France.

Cavia was his Judge, and the crime in the act
of Accusation is the having voted as a Depu-

an idea ofthe horrible treatment to which this
unfortunate man has been subjected.
The emigration of the persons employed
under the Cortesis now going on,and already
330 families have left Madrid. Passports for
foreign countries have been refused, so that
these poor wretches are obliged to take ref-
uge in the provincial towns, many of which
are full of families, and consequently there
will be insults, persecutions, assassinations,
&’.c. Guerillas are forming, and the disorder
continually increast-.s.

than three titnes.

PATENT IMPROVEMENT FOR COL-
ORING HATS,
VFHE Machine of which consists ofa wheel
.made ofplank, which is put into a semi-
circular kettle, improved for the pnrpose,the
axle of the wheel resting on the sides ofthe
kettle, and the wheel rolling round perpendic-
ular to the horizon. The method of using
this machine is to hang the hats, when block’d‘,
on each side ofthe wheel, by means of pegs,
until you have filled one half of the wheel,
then they are innncrst intothe liquor prepared
for that purpose: next fill the other part of
the wheel, which is then imtners’d, and turn
the others out, when sufiiciently boiled,to cool,
which may be done as often as is tho’t proper,
until the hats are sufficiently coloured. The
security ofthe hats from damage, and the sa-
ving of more than nine-tenths oflabor, time,
health, and cleanliness, to the colourist,
must convince the beholder that it excels any
thing heretofore known. The President of
the U. States has granted me a patent for this
improvement; the public are therefore cati-
tioned against making, using,and vending the
said patented improvement, which Iain ready
to sell to individuals for using, on reasonable
terms, in Daobury, Conn. where the machine
can be seen in operation. All orders thank-
fully receivetl and punctually attended to.
