SHOCKING M.ITRDER IN BELFAST BARRACICEL—A
tressing occurr( ;rice has recently taken place in the bar-
racks at Belfas t. Corporal Robert Brown, of the Gre-
nadier detachm el it of the 12th Regiment, at present
lying in Belfast was brutally murdered the other even-
ing by Robert = El :enry O'Neill, a private belonging to the
Light Company• of the same detachment. The facts of
this melancholy• outrage, which has caused the most in-
tense excitemen t in town are as follows :—lt appears
that, shortly be f ore nine o'clock, Corporal Brown, the
unfortunate vic t,im ; Robert O'Neill, the alleged mur-
derer ; and fotur others, were in one of the barrack-
rooms, prepari a g to go to bed. They had been con-
versing togethe r apparently on the most friendly terms,
and were about , to retire to rest, when O'Neill, at a mo-
ment when th ) deceased was leaning over a table,
writing, lifted l r is carbine, which he was apparently en-
gaged in cleani a ,g, took deliberate aim, and before any
effort could be made to prevent it, lodged the ball with
which his musk:• et was charged in the left breast of his
unsuspecting v 1 ctim. The ball struck the deceased be-
low his right e re, carried away a portion of his nose,
and entered his left breast, causing almost instant death,
as the unfortu o ate sufferer lingered only till half-past
ten o'clock, wt 1., an he expired. O'Neill, who immediately
ran down the s.l Lairs into the square, with the view of
effecting his es ( 'ape, was pursued by one of the men pre-
sent in the ro cam and arrested before he could accom-
plish his purp( n;e. The only cause that can be assigned
for the perpeti ration of this diabolical outrage is, that the
deceased had, 4a, day or so before, reported O'Neill as
guilty of some misconduct, and who had him confined to
barracks for three days. O'Neill, it is asserted, had
more than one *, been heard to say that he would be re-
venged. The ( beceased was an Englishman, aged twenty,
and, we believ 13, much respected by the officers and his
comrades for his orderly and inoffensive conduct.
O'Neill, is a )3 ;elfast man, who was some time in a but-
cher's shop in I I. 3reules-street, and lately enlisted into the
regiment. On Tuesday an inquest was held on the body
of the murdere c 1 man, and after the examination of seve-
ral witnesses, t to coroner, addressing the prisoner, asked
him if he had iznything to say ? Prisoner—No ; only I
am guilty. (5_ k ,nsation.) The coroner then addressed
the jury briefly upon the distinction between murder and
manslaughter ; and observed, that from the threats used
by the prisone: r during the day premeditation was to be
inferred, and 1,1 ,e crime could not be reduced to man-
slaughter. Th tE , jury found a verdict of wilful murder
against O'Neil 1.. The coroner then committed him for
trial at the neN :1 , assizes for the county of Antrim.

OCEAN STEAM NAVIGATION.--LIVERPOOL, AUG. 24.---
The Mersey presented an unusually animated appear-
ance to-day, owing to the departure of four seagoing
steamers, all heavily laden with valuable cargoes.
Messrs. M'lver and Co.'s screw steam-ship Taurus,
Little, commander, full of goods, bound for New York,
vid Boston, took her departure at 10 a.m. ; and at noon
the United States' mail steam-ship Atlantic, West, com-
mander, left for New York, having on board 216 pas-
sengers and the usual mails, besides a very full cargo.
At 11 a.m. the iron screw steamship City of Manchester,
Leitch, commander, sailed hence for Philadelphia, with
a full cargo and a large complement of passengers on
board. At 130 p.m. the South American and General
Steam Navigation Company's new iron screw steam-ship
Braziliera, Green, commander, took her departure from
the Birkenhead-docks on her way to Lisbon, Pernam-
buco, Bahia, Rio Janeiro, and Monte Video. She had
on board about 200 tons of cargo, consisting principally
of a large quantity of fine Manchester and French
goods, besides a considerable number of passengers,
chiefly from London and Manchester, and about 30,000/.
specie. It will be remembered that this new line was
opened by the Argentina, one of the branch steamers,
which, on arriving at the Brazils, will immediately go
upon her station coastwise. The Braziliera is the first
of the main line of steamers from Birkenhead-docks to
the Brazils. She will be followed on the 24th of Sep-
tember by the iron screw-ship Olinda, Captain G. H. Ha-
ram, and she will be succeeded, on the 24th of October'
by the iron screw steamer Lusitania, launched from the
building yard of Mr. John Laird, of Birkenhead, a few
days ago.
