SUPPOSED MURDER AT ROSSTREVOR.

(From the Nciery Telerraph.l
kitest alarm and anxiety base beta excited by the disappeuranee
of a worths young fellow, named Peter Kelly of Da!Fragility, near
llosstrevoi. on the night of hot Christina,. Ile had been drinking
at a sit :Men house, kept be one Rooney, and was accompanied, on
hisretum home, at ten o'clock, by two friends, who left him, not
intoxicated, a align distance from hts father's In use- There, how-
ever, hr did not appear, nor hat he since been heard of. A day or
two after Kelly's extraordinary disappearance, a gfect number of
n4thbours assembled, and proceeded to make a search for his
body in every place where be possibly might hare been lost : the
search has been continued tor several days, hitherto wkbout the
least success.
A most minute inquiry into the circumstances relating to this
snysler:otut case took place at Narrow-water, on Friday Last, before
Roger Hall, Wm. James Wiluire, James Read, and Trevor Cor-
ry, Magri. The investigatioo continued the whole days We kart
that there remains no doubt in the minds of thole gentlemen, that
Kelly was murdered. Two persons have been taken up on
snapi-
cio4,asd, fur tlx present, they remain in close confinement. Sere-
'ral other particulars that have come to our knowledge we forbear
to notice. at least Intll the labours of those active Magistrates shall
be concluded ; confldatt that the hand of divine Providence will
tliceet them on whom to fix the charge of this foul nod wicked
deed.

THE LOlDfermi—We (the Dahlia Patriot) are happy be
find that the unrivalled excellence of our Chief Magistrate is Jusdy
awakening the gratitude and admiration of all classes of society.
Viscountess Powerseourt has set a brilliant example, which we are
'convinced will not be thrown away on the citizens of Dublin. Her '
Ladyship has presented this upright and indefatigable Magistrate
with a splendid salver, richly ember:eel, and the centre chased by
one of the fine artists in the kingdom, weittbing upwards of 240
ounces, inanafertured by Alderman West and Co., of Capel.streer,
on which is the following inscription :
" Presented by Amelia Dowager Viscountess Powerschtire to'
. the Right Henourable Richard Smyth, lead Mayor of the City
of Dublin, in order to testify her approbation of a Chief Magis-
trate, whose eminently distinguished public services have already
peculiarly characterised his Mayoralty, and shed a brilliant lustre
on the WO end dignified office which he fills, in a mantes wotthy
of imitation by his rummers.

COSPOIATIIow ILIEZI.-oAir readers are elready mere, that the'
fees heretothre claimed by the Corporation of I tublin, on 'dripping
miming our harbour, and paid under the delsominati )))) of ehippage
and Anchorage. bred Mayor's Fee, Waste Bailiff's Fee. Chapter
and Guild. she. te. were resisted by wine of our merchants and
shipowncer, and an injunction obtained from the Court of King's
Bend), estraining the Corporation from the further collection of
any smell charges until the right had born first ascertained. We have
it from authority, an wiiich we run rely, that these fees arc still de.
mended 4 when retested, no attempt us made to enforce the pay- I
went of them ; but as far as misrepresentation and artifice can im-
pose upon the unfortunate ship captains and owners, the fees
to question are still obtained. We pot it to the Coininissioners of
the Revenue, and indeed to the Irish Governinent, ehether this is
an order of things that should be permitted to continue ; whether
satellite.; can, in fact, be more disgraceful to them or to us, than
that such impositions mould continue to be practised in the port
of Dublin ? Either the Corporation have the right in question, or
they have it not. If they have, to them show it ; if not, the money
!cried in the manner to which we allude. is obtained under febe
pretences ; and we repast, that the existence of any such practice
is eqttally *disgrace to the Government, to the Commissioners of '
the revenue, and to the country. —Debfirs Freetorrer Jograal.

in this town, had been, sonic rime previous to her death, attended
by specimen of the medical profession. (hi the evening of her

the act of taking a glass of punch, he imagined he saw the lady
walking into the room where himself and his friend were sitting,
cut, having but a few hours before visited her, and found her in a
dying state. the shock that his nerves experienced was so great, that
diciest* which held the punch fell from his hands, and he himself
cheeped on the floor in a fainting lit. After lie had perfectly reco-
rout himself, and made inquiry about the lady, it was ascertained
