MURDER.

A most unprovOked and atrocious murder was,
perpetrated last ThUrsday night, in the lower part '
of St. Ann's, on the body of Mr. ALEXANDER
URQUHART, a very old and respeaable inhabitant
of this parish.
From the most coirea 'account we have been able
to obtain, it appears that Mr. Urquhart, and Mr.
William Gunn (also of this parish) were at a moun-
tain settlement,: the property of the latter, where
they had spend the evening : as they retired into
their respeaive rooms, and were going to bed, be-
tween the hours of nine and ten o'clock, the over—
seer, William Boyd, went to Mr. Gunn's room-
door, and requested him to come out, that he
wished to speak with him : Mr. Gunn, then un-
dressed, immediately obeyed; and, in the aa, of
coming out, was met Boyd at the door with a
loaded pistol which he fired at Mr. Gunn, and
wounded him in the left breast : Mr. Urquhart in
his, room, upOn hearing the report of the pistol came
out to Mr. Gunn's assistance, when Boyd, who had
a second pistol ready fired at him,
.and melancholy
to relate, the ball passed through his body, and he
instantly expired.
Mr. Gunn made his escape, wounded and bleed.'
ing as he was, to the neighbouring house of Mr.
Alexander, where he was received, and every at-
tention pa id to him that friendship and humanity.could
dictate; sanguine hopes are entertained ofhisrecoverY.
On Friday (in the absence
,of the Coroner, an
inquest was taken on the body of Mr. Urquhart, by
John Gayner, Esq. one of His Majesty's justices of
the Peace, who immediately transmitted the proceed..
inks to the King's Attorney-General.
We are happy to state, that the murderer, Boyd,
has been apprehended, and conveyed to the County
Gaol. We have not yet heard of any cause assigned
by the unfortunate wretch for taking away the life
of hisiellow-creature ; a man, whose general cha-
raaer intitled him to a better late,, and who has,
painful to tell, left an amiable widow and four
young children to lament the unhappy fate of an af-
feaiopate husband and tender p:trent.

STARCH.

Mr. N. V AASITTART moved for a Committee
of the whole House, to consider of the duties pay_
able upon Stara imported from Ireland into Great
Britain ; which being agreed to, and the SPEAKER
having left the Chair,

Mr. N. VANSITTAR.T said, it was the intention
of the At of Union that the Manufadurers of the
United Kingdoms should be placed -on the same
footing. Starch upon its importation from Ireland
into Great Britain, was at present subject to . heavy
duty. It must be evident that it was not only
stridly just, but perfectly consistent with the Aft
of Union, and necessary to carry the intention of
that Ad into effed,. that the Manufadurers of Ire-
land should be 'placed upon the same footing, and
_enjoy the same.advantages, as the Manufadurces of
-Great Britain. He therefore moved, that it is ex-
pedient to permit, for a time to be limited, 'the
Importation of Starch made in Ireland from rice or
potatoes,_ free of duty ; which
.being agreed to,
the House resumed, and the Report was ordered to
in received to-morrow.

Mr. N. V , ANSITTAXT moved for an Instrutaion
to the Gentlemen appointed to bring in a 13i11 re-
latiVe to the making of Starch from Rice'or Pota-
toes, to snake provision according to the above
Resolution.—Ordered.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM HIS MAJESTY'S.
SLOOP LARK, PORT-ANTONIO, DATED SEPT. 17.

We arrived -in this Port yesterday evening,
having quitted our .station on Tuesday last for the
purpose of landing some Prisoners, which we took
in a Spanish Privateer Schooner on the night of the
3th inst. We chaced her the whole of the after,
noon close in with Cuba shore till dark, when she
took shelter within the Portillo reefs. Lieut. PAS.
LEY, Mr. I\VCLoun, Midshipman, and sixteen
:nen each, were sent in the yawl and cutter. About
hall past ten, Lieut. PASLEY found her at anchor
in the place he expeded ; she was waiting the at-
tack in readiness, which she commenced. by a dis.:
charge of one nine and two four-pounders, which
severely wounded several in each boat ; notwith-
standing they boarded, and after a short but severe
contest, carried her. She proved to be.L'Esperace,
from St. Jago, which port she left on the.l Bth of Au-,
gust, and since that time had taken the Sloop Eliza
and Brig Retie), , belonging to Kingston. She was
commanded by JOSEPH COLLIE, and from the best
accounts we have been able to coiled since, had on
board when the M.lion commenced, 45 men, twen-
ty-one of whom were killed and six wounded ; the
Captain, and all the Officers, were amongst the for-
mer. On our part,_ we have to lament the loss of
John Junes, cockswain of the cutter, who was killed
early in the -Aaiun ; Mr. M'CLoup, and twelve_
seamen, wounded.

ST. j.aGO.DE LA ICEGA, SEPT. 5.
Thursday afternoon, during a heavy shower of
rain, a severe sash of lightning struck the store-
house on Dawkins's Caymands, and tore off a great
part of the shingling on one of the hips ; five- horses
and two mules, Aria stable adjoining the store, and
separated from it by a brick wall, through which
the lightning penetrated; were also -struck, and re-
mained for a few minutes in a state apparently dead,
but afterwards recovered. The lightning was ac-
companied by, and left behind it, a strong sulphu_
rebus smell.—A steer was likewise' killed by the
lightning on the adjoining property, the Farm.

X/NGST4)N3 JAMAICA, SEPT. 7.
ON 11'.1n,i1:11' last a Court-Martial, applied for
by Capt. PLAMP IN, assembled on board His Ma-
jesty's Ship Abergarvewg, which .continued until
Friday, for the purpose of inquiring into the loss
of His Majesty's Ship Lowestoire, and into the con-
dna of Capt. Pl. AMI' IN, as to the charge of the
Convoy, and rtspc.aing the loss of the Ships men_
boned in a former Paper.. The Court received the
vidences of Captains BROWN, 'WARDEN, WATT,'
and ME LV ILLE ivlto attended upon notice for the
,
purpose ; and, upon
.mature consideration, was of
opinion, that the condud of Capt. FLAMF IN was ju.
dicious, it every respen., and that but for the sudden
change of the current after dark, the whole of the
Convoy would have proceeded in safety through the
Passage; and they fully :tquitted Capt. FLAME' IN,
his Claus,. and Ship's Company, of all blame in
resped of the loss of the Louestoje, or the Ships
vn ler convoy.

has been prodtktive'of the highest cidgree of confuston in our
'attains, and only tends to favour ailevir individuals, While it
causes the general ruin, bas,no other objed but to prevent the
People 'freely determining on a question of the greatest im-.
portance, and of pro•:oiting Civil War. ,

We-have felt that; under such difficult circumstances, it is
our duty to oppose the execution of shese.detenninations ;
and, in order to prevent, in liesmost efficacious.manner, their
fatal consequences, we have taken measures, by which the
Body is deprived of thetneans of assembling,' till
the 7 Nation shall have expressed its wish upon the subjeCt.

;Batavian Citizens, strangers as we arc to every spirit. of

individuals should artogate to themselves The 'tight,of pro-
nouncing inconsiderately on the Will of the Peo'pl.bpfore it
is known.

Our sole object, as well as our sole desire, is that it should
be manifested : it will be our supreme Law. We await,
without tear, strong in the convilion of having looked with
disinterestedness to your welfare.

Nation. The. only, circumstance that has yet been.
mentioned, as e-t istituting a feature of the Treaty
Is, that the integrity' of the Dominions of our
*Three Allies, the QUEEN Of PORTUGAL, the KING of
NAPLES, and the GRAND Sr. IGNIOI2, has been se-
.cgred ; and that whatever Restitutions have been
agreed- to, arc the price by which we are, to attain
that great and* important objea. If this be the'
case, we shall indeed close the Contest in a manner
worthy of the good faith and magnanimity for Which
this Country has ever been so pre-eminently distin-

THE THEATRE.

Dkury-tdiic-a

The Clantlesstine Marriage, a Comedy formed
with great dramatic skill, abounding in diversi-
fied charaaers, enlivened with well-managed inci-
dents, and involving a pathetic interest, drew a
very large Audience to this Theatre last night.

Excellent as this Comedy is, it certainly depends
in a great measure upon the talents of an individual,
and when KING can no longer support the charader
of Lord Ogleby, it is very probable that the Piece
will be laid upon the shelf, at least till his merit in
the chief part shall no longer be remembered.
This popular Veteran performed the gallant old
Peer last night with little abatement of his former
spirit. KING is an Ador who understands human
nature, and, therefore, is able to give pleasure to
real judges of theatrical merit, which is more
than can be said of ..most of the present race of Per-
formers, who have contrived to obtain an empirical
popularity, more by grimace than humour. KINO'S
Lord Ogleby is really the old Noblematz, not weaned
from the follies and vanities of former life, but
rendered estimable by sensibility, generosity, and
honour. The Audience testified their approbation
by repeated and fervent applause.
Dowrorr.was a very respectable representative
of Sterling, blunt and cunning, but hot too coarse.
`We were in hopes to see. Miss POPE in Mrs. Hei-
delberg; the part, however, was performed by Mrs.
SFARts, who was forcible, but too 'uniformly loud
and violent:

Miss DE CAMP, by no means, wanted spirit in
the pan of -Miss Sterling, and gave a tolerable
portrait of the pert flippancy of City, affeClaiion.—
She was, however, egregiously wrong in attempt-
ing humourous mimicry, when her pride is sup-
posed.to be wounded by the negleet of Sir John
Melville, and his preference of her sister. Fanny
was performed by Miss CAbtrst‘L with unaffeeted
emotion.

The Public were much gratified in seeing Mrs.
Biar4D restored to them in the part of 3-ensty, in
the Musical Entertainment of The Deserter.

NLW.YORK, ALLG. 26.

• The following is a brief narration of a very af-
feaing scene which happened on Thursthiy.
- Mr. William Rogers, jun. of Hudson,
being then bound to Catskill in a small sail-boat,
took with him -his only son, a b'ly about fur years
old. While they were sailing down the 'channel of
the river, finding it was necessary to go forward
himself, in order to adjust the sail, the sudden
sweep of the boom, in the mean tune, carried the
child overboatd. Instantly upon this
,the father
plunged into the river, caught his darling son, anti,
being an excellent swimmer, he swam with him fir
some time,. by holding him under his arm. At.
length he advised and assisted him to, crawl upon
his back and 7.shoulders, and to entwine his arms
around his neck, and continued to swim with'him
in this position. His first objea was to gain the
drifting boat, but, after many desperate struggles,
finding this impraaiCable, he direled his course
towards .the shore of the- river. Opposed by the
tide, and constantly iltencited by the surges, -'-the
poor, child -dropped from -his father's neck, -and
floated down the river as-far as•Cat.Skili, where the
lifelcss body was soon after found. Mr. Rogers
himself, cy'‘gusted and on the point -of sinking
(having; been in the water, as he thinks, nearly an
hour),.was rescued, from this hopeless-condition by
some people wlio, discovered him amt. heard his
cries while they were at work in. a fieja, not far
from the river. • •

TURRIFF, DEC. 19.

On Sunday last die r3th, about rs minutes before
forenoon, we were alarmed with a flash of light-
ning from a cloud of sleet and hail, succeeded by a
loud peal of thunder ; about three minutes after,
anoilfer more vivid flash, followed by the most
tremendous clap of thunder ever heard here. The
last shock struck the house of Wm. Nicholson in
Easter.Whiterashes in this parish, All the family
were, from home, except himself and a daughter of
about 17 4 ears of age. She was, in -the kitchen,
and the lightning burnt her face, neck, and arms,.
in a,dreadful manner, but there are hopes, of her
recovery. The dog was killed at the kitchen fire.
The farmer himself was in a room about 40 feet.
from the kitchen ; the floor where lie stood was
driven to splinters ; one of his shoes was torn, the
upper leather from the sole, and his foot considerably
hurt ; the ceiling of
.the room broke to pieces ; in
the adjoining room, the clock-case, bedsteads, and
every article of furniture, except a chest of drawers,
either shivered or hurled, from their places. The
glass of the windows was broke into small particles,
and the frames drove to a considerable distance.
The crook of ,the; kitchen was divided into three
places, and the copper kettle perforated in a hundred
places.--About 16 feet of the kitchen roof was
blown off, and the rest took fire, but wag soon extin-
guished. All was done,. and all•silent, in less. than
three seconds !

A plot was lately discovered, which had for its
objtd the murder of BABA KaAN; the present So-
vereign of Persia,' and which, involving many of
the most distinguished Officers of the State, has ex-
cited the strongest sensation throughout the Ein-
pre.

An -Officer who had been instrumental in advan-
cing the Prince to the throne, conceiving himself
• negleCted, formed a projeft, to depOse him, arid won
over to his purpose the Prime Minister ELM'ATTA
DOWI, A, by promising -to advance him to the,Sco-
vereignty. By like Means he engaged nineteen.
persons of the first rank in the Empire to embark
in the pibt ; and Mu LAM ALI, the favourite and
constant attendant of the Emperor in his retire-
ment, was bribed to assassinate him. The scheme
wore the most promising asped ; and
.in order to
colour the intended change, troubles were excited
in various quarters:: but on the eye of its execution
the treason was discovered by means of a letter to_
the Minister, .which was. by chance intercepted.
E'LMAITTA Do IV LA, and f-ourtcen of his associates,
were immediatfly .apprehended and put to death in
the dungeons of the palace ; and such other steps
were taken as have effectually crushed the Conspi-
racy.
