MURDER BY A PORRION SAILOR IN
LIVERPOOL.

Another dreadful affair has taken place at Liver-
pool, the result of which is the death of one mew and the
serious injury of another. The occurrence took place on
Tuesday night in Old Hall-street, near the street where •
boardinghouse-keeper was murdered by • Welsh sailor last
week. Shortly after 9 o'clock three men—named James
Harrison, Henry Cohen, and Jobs Wm. Howell, the former
residing in the house where (Beeson Wilmot murdered
Mrs. Henriehlioe and family a few years ago, and the latter
a sailor on board the Calhoun—wen passing along Old Hall-
street, in the vicinity of the Exchange. Here Cohen foci-
distally came into collision with a sailor, who from
his drew and appearance was evidently a foreigner. This
man at one* drew from his waist-belt a weapon—either a
knife or a dagger—and stabbed Cohen in the side. He then
ran rapidly scrams the street, followed by Harrison and
Howell. Hers he again turned round, made a buss at
Harrison, sad stabbed him in the stomach. Harrison wee
removed to en adjoining shop and afterwards to the
Northern Hospital, in the mean time the man making his
escape. Harrison died about twenty minute. after being
admitted into the institution. Cohen was also con-
veyed to the Northern Hospital, and now lies
there in a very dangerous condition. Dr. Aeolis
discovered that Harrison had received a deep wound
in the lower portion of the stomach, and th►t
his bowels were protruding through it. From the nature
of Cohsn's wounds it is feared that one of hie limp has
been touched. Immediately as information being given to
the police they arrested a Spanish sailor, named Boron ; and
when Borno was taken before Cohen, Cohen identified him
as the man who inflicted the wounds, and at the central
polioe-station several .unfortunate women also swore that
he was the murderer. The police, however, being somewhat
doubtful on this point, arrested two other men in the course
of the night and yesterday morning ; and it is believed that
the last man arrested is the hoea-fide murderer. He gives
the name of Joe& As inquest will be held on the body of
Harrison to-day, when no doubt something further will be
known.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OP SVICIDL—The Times
oorrespoodut at Naples writes:" Public attention has
been occupied for some days by 0110 of the most extraordi-
nary cases of suicide perhaps on reoord. A Frenchman in
good circumstances has for • year or more tenanted a small
hams close to the Hotel la Gran Brettagna, on the road to
Qui ai Sans, close to Cutellaniare. Singular in his habits,
it was the common opinion that his mind was affected. On
fast days he insisted on Mew fish served of a particular
length ; and on other days a fowl of • particular use and
measurement. Woe to the landlord if his orders were not
obeyed to the letter. Most of his time was spent in rend
seelmion, when he occupied himself in making machioary,
but of what kind was unksows, as no one was permitted
to enter his room. On the night of the 24th of Apriil•l
heavy sound was heed in the booze, but it led to no in-
quiry, as IL Couvreux was • man of such peculiar babes. '
Oa the following day, however, some alarm was created by
his nos-appearasos, and the police were sent for. To re-
peated knocks no answer was returned, and at last the wall
was brokee through and the room entered, whet the
following scene presented itself :—A perfectly formed
guillotine stood in the centre of the doorway leading fete
another room ; the knife had fallen, tied oa this aide lay •
body, while in the other room lay the bead of the poor
victim of issanity. On the table was a letter directed to
his brother in Pane, in which was • will, which, among other
bequests, leaves 1,000 frau' to his landlord and 1,000
francs to an inhabitant of Castellani's*. Regular in his
payments and conduct, he seems to have had but one object
in life, which was to construct the instrument of his death,
and it is described as being of the most delicate construe-
I Lion. There is nothing to be added to this sad and extraor-
dinary tale, except that the adenomas man hail emascu-
lated blaself_previously to his seff-decapitetion."
ORRAT HMITERN RAILWAY COMPANY.—An ad-
journed special general rustiest of the shareholders of this
