Lombrrd.street, Aug. 5, 1825.

MURDER AT LIVERPOOL.
The following further particulars of this Cale* talt.
Prim the Liverpool Advertiser of BstUrd_ay last :
The name of the man assaulted near the Bough oa4 is Jot.%
Wain, a brazier, in the emote, Of Messrs. Sutherland itta Copes
land. He had left his work at nine o'clock, rine home to hit sups
per, arid was eirpeeted to return at ten, to work ail night: He left
his own house at half after nine, having taken supper, and put
some bresd and cheese into his pocket. It is supposed the act was
combined when he was crossing some fields opposite to the prison.
on his way to the manufactory, on the North-Shore. An ekarninas
tion of the man apprehended, we understand, took place yeattrday.
but nothing of a definite nature has since transpired, and carious
rumours are consequently afloat. At ten o'clock last night tint
sufferer was still alive, but in a state of imminent danger. Frets
hired portions of bone had been extracted from the head, and tint
brain was found unwounded ; but he iv otherwise bruised and in-
hured in such a manner as to render his reit:oration eoubtful. Re
ad no money on his person at the time, and it is sotrientittif6.
cult to account for his maltreatment, finless upon the stinpostiatt
that he was taken for another person.—Mercury of getter:lay.
We have learnt nothing in addition to the above pettticklarti sup.
plied by our contemporaries. On inqdiring, yesterday tight, at
the Infirmary, we found that the man was alive, and even to 44
pearance somewhat better; but still little hope nal entertained cif
his recovery. He is not in a conditiOn to gtve any account of the
circumstances of his attack, being just able to utter yes or no to a
question ; no more. His wife has visited him.
A later inquiry at the Infirmary gave the information, that the
unfortunate sufferer's case was quite hopeless ; his death was looked
for before morning.

Extract of a letter from Abner Alien, tag. dal&
Navy, Vt. 9th June, to a gentlemen in Provident* :.-ss
"A hind accident happened last week In the township of Random.
.4 son of Mr. John Stevens, only the years old, went out to gathef

brush, and was literally frozen to death, The dog's bed was
by
the child's head, and marks where die dog had fondled and happen
him were discnveretl. He had nothing on but a totestrht eta
trousers. The dog, when within ten rods of the spot whet tbs
