COLLISION AT 13641 BETWEEN H.M.S. TRIDENT
AND DWARL—OA Wednesday morning a collision took
pleat at sea between her Majesty's steamers Trident and
Dwarf, by which the latter wr very NIT( rely injured. The
fall particulars have not yet tuelled u, but we learn that
the Trident, which bad been engaged ca Tuesday towing
out the Ganges from the harbour, was returning, when
about 60 miles from land she ran down upon the Dwarf,
which list on Tuesday evening for Portsmouth. A tre-
mendous gale was blowing at the time, and the injury sus-
tained by the Dwarf frog the collision war such that the
Trident was obliged to take her in tow, and run for
Kinsale Hazbostr. Before reaching Kinsale, however,
the water gained so much upon the Dwarf, there
being five feet. water in the hold, that the crew were,
as we are informed, obliged to be takes on board the Tri-
dent, and when she vessels reached pnrt, the Dwarf was in a
sinking condition. On Thursday the fibearwater was ordered
to proceed to Kinsale' for the purpose of rendering such as-
sistance as might be , but it was found that the
Dwarf, which had been towed into shallow water, had re-
ceived such injuries that, until she was repaired, it would be
impossible to remove her. The fibeetwater aocordiagly re
turned to Queenstown on Thursday night. Daring the early
part of the gale on Tuesday night, and before the Ganges
and Trident parted company, one of the crew of the former
was blown from the fore yard-arm into tr.e see, and sank
before assistance could be rendered him.—Cork Reporter.

SCOTLAND.
MURDER AT RESTON.

The eastern district of Berwickshire his this week
been startled by a meet atrocious and deliberate murder. On
Monday morning the body of a men named Walter Lion was
discovered in a held in the neighbourhood of Reston, a vil-
lage between eleven and twelve mike from Berwick, and
situated on the line of the North British Railway. From a
wound upon his head it was discovered that he had met his
death by violist means. A sum of money which he was
supposed to hare on his person seems to have led to the com-
mission of tke deed, and immediately on the discovery of
the body general suspicion was directed to a man named
M'Quee, who was accordingly apprehended and lodged in
Dense Gaol. The particulars of the ease are as follow :
Walter Lion, the man who has been murdered, was an
Irishmen, about 26 or 28 years of age, and came to reside in
Reston four years ago, having obtained employment en the
railway line which was then in caries, of construction. He
was a thrifty and a sober man, and was understood to have
sued money. The general impecseion among his fellow-
workmen and in the village was, that ne had a considerable
sum in the Donee Bank. He formed an intimate acquain-
tance with William M'Quee, alb an Irishman, to who,'
sister he wee said to have been paying his addresses. At
the commencement of the present harvest be left Reston for
Northumberland, wall was absent 18 days sheering at
Branxten. He returned to his lodgings at Reston on
Thursday, and on Friday he went to Dunn (to raise
the 'money he had deposited there, it is supposed, as
too mastamplated leaving the district.) He retarnid from
Dam on Saturday at 4 o'clock. On Sunday morning he
was visited at his lodgings by M'Quee, who invited him to
dine at his house ; this, however, Lion declined, and had
dinner at his own lodgings; but he afterwards went to
Ill'Quee'r, He was afterwards seen about one o'clock pass-
ing down the villape aloes. A short time afterw. rds M'Quee
!allowed in the came direction. They were subs quently
seen together at Ctirnside, and they were also seen in com-
pany returning towards Reston by two parsons at two differ-
ent places. M'Quee rotunda home abint eight o'clock.
Irmhine was seen of Linn till nest morning, when Messrs.
Sinclair, butchers atAyton,went to a field near Reston Milo he
niiirof Mr. Bishop, to examine some sheep graWng there.
triached this field at a quarter before 11, and in a ditch
they discovered the body of the unfortunate victim. The
ditch is 62 yards from toe cart-road, but in a direction which
is frequently trespassed upon by persons desirous of taking a
short cat. The ditch is shallow and nearly dry. The body
was lying lengthwise in it, and with the taco to the ground.
His cap was off, and a severe wound was visible on the back
part of the head. A pool of blood was close at baud, and a
stone about the size of a man's hand, bearing marks of blood,
supposed to have b en the instrument of death. There wee,
however, no appearance of a struggle having taken place,
wilt could the marks of blood be tea ted to any distance from
the body. Tee discovery was immediately communicated to
tbie authorities. The pockets of the murdered man had been
Med. The breast pocket of his jacket was turned outside
to, es well es one in kis vest and one in his trousers ; in the
other pocket of his trousers was Md., end his watch MO in
its proper place.
As we have already meationed suspicion immediately fell
on William M'Ques. The italics on the railway line found
inquiry that he had that morning at 6.30 gone by the
train to Duos*. He returned home on foot, and on entering
Reston about one o'clock he was taken into custcdr. He
mks then very much agitated. On his person being ex-
emited ems of hie arms was marked with blood, and his shirt
misers stained with it, as if it had run along his arm. The
sem of 81. 10e. was found in his pockets. He admitted that
he bed been to Chienslde with the murdered man on the
peankon day, but stated that they had parted company on
tie& Minn when they were a short distance from Chirnaide,
LYS having stopped to speak with some men with hooks
in tinge hands, whom they had met. The statement of
lanie porting company at the place M'Que• stated
b. bus contradicted by two persons (previously
•Gwiedl to) who at two separate plies nearer
lass& ha nest ilKistim and Linn together. The carcenn•
limed Mom being no marks of a struggle near the spot
'rhos Os body was found, has led to the supposition that
the sundse has taken plans somewhere else, the body having
best carried to the place afterwards. M•Ques has a sister
besides the one already mentioned, who is married, and
resides at Reston, in a house adjoining his own. Oa search-
ing her house the police found a female's apron saturated
with fresh blood. The woman amens' far the blood by
saying that a fornight ago she bad a bleeding at the nose.
for which she used the apron, and that she bad afterwards
rubbed the apron upon the door. William M'Quee, the
prisoner, is 36 or 36 years of age. He came to Reston in
April, 1844, land has worked at the railway line ever sine*.
He is married to a female belonging to Barnmeath, but has
no family. A further examination Into the cue is to take
place *slay (Saturday), at Dcuse.—Berwids Advertiser.
