DREADFUL MURDER.—We deeply regret to have to
record that blood has stained the soil of our quiet sill"
orderly county—blood shed by hand of the .murderet.,,
prompted, as it would appear, solely by the thirst t
money. The unfortunate occurrence took place early!:
the night of Friday, the 23d inst., and the victims vi.,e,
Thomas Ball and his wife, who resided in a small caw'
on the roadside at Rylands, near Clohamon, in the IN4.
rony of Scarawalsh. They were dealers in apples, est*
and other small commodities, and invariably kept
stand in Newtonbarry on Saturdays. The dreadful f'sYs
of the unhappy couple was not known until the afterne,
of Saturday, when a man named Curran, brother to the
woman, missing them from their usual stand in the inl",
ket, went to the house about three o'clock in the aft.,
noon. He found the door shut, and all silent. He then
went to another relative, and both returned to the cat
and raised the door of its hinges, when the appalli,
spectacle of the lifeless bodies of the man and wife 13vi
their sight, their heads being literally beaten to atero.
The weapons used by the murderers (for there were el
dently more than one engaged in the horrid brutality
were a spade, a pair of tongs, and a blunt billhook's
which belonged to the house, and were found in =l'
covered with blood. The spade appears to have bl
the instrument with which the man's skull was Pi
cloven, and breaking, the handle was then often use
The woman was found dreadfully battered about
head, and the Hodr covered with clotted gore.
olject of the murderers was to possess themselves "j
money, about 701., which Ball was known to have, s'l)oi
which his wife was in the habit of carrying in a kind j
pease with a string round her neck. That they gain
their unhallowed end is too certain, for the brow,
string was still round her neck. They also rill°
maged the house, for a broken box in the bedroo
the only one in the cabin, a shirt stained by the blood
hand of one of the murderers was found. The roi;
ders were perpetrated at an early hour. before the cotlY,
had red red t:,bed, ptrhaps just as they were preparing;
for Ball had his shoes and his wife her cap oft Abol,
9 o'clock a neighbour had seen them at their fire, I!,
wife plucking a goose, which was found on the table ,
if aside when finished. The murderers on going
away locked the door, so that the cabin being closed
long in the day did not create any suspicion, the owned
being supposed to he, as usual, at market, until Cur`
as mentioned, went t) inquire about their absence.
Lord-Lieutenant has offered a reward of 1004 for w
diseovery of the perpetrators of these brutal murders.,

THE FRENCH IN ROME.--On Easter Sunday i observes
what must lime been to the Romans most galling.
their own city and their own cathedral preference vir,,
given to the French Lutes, for whom the best seats
the church were reserved. The balconies over the ot!,;
lonnade were restricted to them alone. I also notio
that in addition to the troops drawn up in battle arrs4/
on the piazza, large numbers, in knots of eight or 0%,
so distributed themselves amongst the people that 13
part of that vast concourse was free from them. Theij
acted like casual spectators, but to us, who observed
them from above, they appeared far too skilfully an
uniformly located to leave a doubt that they were the''
by command, so as to be ready, in case of disturban4
to co-operate with the troops outside the crowd. It.
French army is in the, highest state of discipline ;
patrols, at every point; their drums and, trumpets it
sounding at all hoers. To a casual observer, there 011
pears no disposition to revolt, for the multitude seera
if they thought that, however bad their present coeds'
tion, it might be worse. French rule is better ths°
Austrian, and the Romans are happier than the Tuscan!,
The city that once ruled the world is contented so loft
as others are under a heavier yoke than themselves.'"
The Forum and the Vatican, by Newman Hail.
