Gazette coutaans au aecoUDA of a shocking murder and
attempted suicide, ef the murder which • ceured at the
small pariah of Ws*hangnail, four miles and • half from

Pig Land, at Ashington. in the pariah of Washington. ,

caught between the buffers of two luggage wagons.
Tile unfortunate man'e arm was dreadfully crushed.

• A MAN RTIINT IN Texts.— The Buchanan (Texas)
correspondent of the New York Tribune wnte* on the
! 25th of April :—" Allow me a place in your columns for
the following recital of a tale of horror, but one of many
of which this section of our country is the theatre, hut
which for obvione moons are kept out of the public
prints, and especietly out of those honest and patriotic
elieeta which would bold them up in their true colours
to the detestation of an enlightened people. A young
man, who-e name and reeidonim I shall euppress for fear
of harrowing the feelings of a fond mother and sisters to
; whom ignorance is bliss, same into this country as a
edyarteur. , Ile had • valuable stock of books, maps,
; &c., consisting mainly of Bibles did religious works, the
stambiril of the Ciiristiiin world, histories, (Pre-eites
I and others), school books and atlases, and. unfortunately
1 for him, a few copies of the laspeldiley Crisis, and some
i tracts favouring the cause of freedom. These were acci-
! deuMlly seen by some intense pro-slaveryite, who raised
1 the hue-and-cry against the '— Yankee Abolition
book pe.ller.' A snob goon het him in their clutches.
and lie was at once unmercifully flegged, and robbed of
his wagon and its contents. Here, perhaps, the affair
; would have ended, lint just at this juncture a negro men
Iwas brought upon the ground, purporting to have been
caught running away from his wader with a forged free
; pad in his pocket. He (the neand was henceforth lashed

I to say who had given him the pane The half-dead and
' terrified negro, glad of • chance to save himself, end

pointed out the &Oarless.. adding, in answer to artful
questions, that he hot received a knife from the pettier,
with the advice to take it and cat his way to freedoms,
and to burn lii. toaster's house over his head, in revenge
for the barbarous tomtinent lie had received. Now, of
all ibis there eras no proof but the word of the negro,
' who would Imre tolit anything to procure his own re-
lease ; and yet it wive enough for the infuriated mob,
now numbering about 150 owners of slaves, their over-
; Seers and sons. After a short consultation the poor
' man was delivered into the hands of biz of the most
furious of the crowd. The.. rolled the wagon meter •
tree, covered it with dry faggots, and over the whole of
it poured • barrel of tar; having first stript their victiin
and immersed him in the dine,they passed a rope around
his neck and over a limb. Then raising him ro that hie

to outraged humani(y, I mast say that this was wit'

, Beam occurred on the line of the London aud North-
Western Railway Friday evening had, by which two
passengers are reported a* injured severely one •
woman and the other a soldier —•corpond. The express
train left London at 2. 45, and when beteen Stafford
said Crewe, and near Seaford, it ran into a ballast trim.
which was just rounding a curve, amid was consequently
hid from the view of the conductors of the London train
until it was too late to prevent • collision. Several
wagon+ in the ballad train—four or five, we believe
were destroyed, and the woman (who is the meet
eerionaly hurt of the two injereil persons) was rating at
the time in the break van of the ballast tiain. The
pamesigers of the Landoll, train, excepting the corporal,
eocaped with a good shaking and the fright. The line
was blocked up for some time, and the trein reached
, Crewe about two hours after its time. The female who
was injured was left under welled advice at Crewe.

this announcement the conductors declare that they are

SHOCKING AND FATAL OCCUSIIKISCIL-00 Thursday
evening the inhabitants of Union street were thrown
into great alarm in account of • report of the death el
. the eldest daughter of Mr. Thomas Luke, boot and shoe
maker, carrying on business in East-street, Grionre-
street, and Union-street. It appears that on Tuesday
afternoon a sailor brought a pair of shoes to Mr. Luke's
shop in Unionoitreet, and gave them to his daughter,
telling her they did not fit him, and that if she would
take them back again lie would inty one half of the value.
Soule people, however, alleged that the shoes were
bought at another shop, and were given to Mid Luke to
sell for the man, he prombling to give her one half of
what they fetched. This reached her father's ears, who
became so exasperated that he c 1111 l menced heating her
with a double nine, and after chastising her severely
he left the house. Ile shortly afterwards returned,
and took up the rope to beat her again, when she
rushed up stairs, flew into her bedroom, • back room
