BEULAH $PA.—The first gala for the season in
the gardens and woods of Beulah Spa took place on Saturday
last. The weather was showery, and in a great degree pre-
vented the place from being so well attended as it would
otherwise have been. Nevertheless there was a great deal of
good company assembled. Two bands were in attendance,
and played some military and other airs; and a very good se-
lection of classical music was also performed. The grounds,
under the direction of the present proprietor, have undergone
great alterations, and a great many judicious amendments
have been made. The lawn is increased in extent, and pre-
sents to the eye of the visitor when he first emerges from the
path through the wood which leads to it from the lodge a
beautiful expanse of the richest turf, closely mowed. The
old dancing-room has been removed, and the site of it is now
occupied by a rustic arcade. The whole had a very pleasing
effect.

Ensign Henry W. Rovven, of the 49th Regiment,
is dismissed the army by sentence of a General Court-martial,
at Dinapore, for intoxication at mess, being then officer of the
day on duty.
CHURCH RATES.—The vestry of the parish of St.
Martin have resolved, with only one dissentient voice, that the
consideration of the question for the assessment of a church-
rate should be postponed for twelve months, in the expectation
that his Majesty's Ministers will, in the meantime abolish the
same.
Two melancholy instances have occurred in this
county of the miserable effects of intemperance. In one case
a man, while intoxicated, causedthe death of another by shoot-
ing him; and the other, a wretched being hung himself while
intoxicated.— Worcester Journal.
The MS. copy of Wicliffe's Bible, belonging to the
late Dr. Adam Clarke, was sold (at Sotheby and Son's) for
100 guineas. The sale of Dr. Clarke's MSS. occupied four
days.

DREADFUL MURDER.—WINCIIESTER, JUNE
25.—A barbarous murder was perpetrated on Saturday last
on a poor old man, by the name of Hall, aged seventy.six,
the Bramdean Postman; who, it appears, left his home on
Bramdean Common, at half-past five o'clock, on Sunday, to
proceed as usual to Alresford, for the village letters ; when he
was intercepted at the bottom of Old Park Hill, on the Bram-
dean road leading to Alresford, about a mile from his dwelling,
a very lonely spot. Hall not having returned as usual in the
afternoon with the letters, inquiry and search was made, when
about seven o'clock his body was discovered in the above
place, concealed by bushes by the road-side. ' He was lying
on his back, partly on the right side, the head presenting a
dreadful appearance, being covered with blood, and the skull
on the left side driven in, it was supposed by largo stones, as
three were found near him, covered with blood and hair ; his
basket and letter-bag were lying on Lis breast, and his hat,
stick, and empty purse by his side, so that whoever committed
the murder and robbery was cautious not to take anything that
might lead to a discovery. An inquest was held on the body
by Mr. Longcroft, when a verdict was returned of—Wilful
murder against some person or persons unknown. In order
to further the ends of justice, application was made to the
Home Office for the assistance of a 13ow-street officer ; when
Mr. Shackcll, the person sent, succeeded on Wednesday in
securing a man by the name of John Deadrnan, formerly a
road wagn•oner, against whom strong supicion rests, and
marks of °blood were discovered on his clothes. —Haiopshire
