REPORT OF A REVOLUTION IN ST. SAL"
`A DO R. —We barn from the Norfolk Beacon, that Lieut.
JONES, of the cutter Crawford, boarded on the evening of
the 14th inst. the brig Consul, of Alexandria, 31 days
from from St. Salvador, for Alexandria, the captain of which
informed Lieut. WILSON, the bearding officer, that a few
days previous to his sailing, a general revolution had taken
place in the country, but did not give him the particulars.
The captain had but one newspaper on board, which he
could not spare.—American Paper.
ALLEGED MURDER AT SEA.—A long en-
quiry took place yesterday at the Thames Police-office, re-
specting the death of TnoraAs ELLIOTT, a seaman, who
was alleged to have been murdered on board one of the
Honourable Company's ships, in January, 1525, by being
confined in a small spirit room on the orlop deck, where
he was suffocated for want of air, the third and fourth
officers, who ordered him in irons, forbidding any one to
assist him. Mr. Busst:Lr, the keeper of the Pavilion
Theatre saloon, with whom the inquiry originated, still
adhered to his statement, that the deceased had died from
exhaustion, by being confined. A number of witnesses
were examined, who hardly recollected the circumstances,
and they were not of that opinion. The surgeon thought
the deceased had died from apoplexy, caused by excessive
drinking. The Magistrates not, however, being satisfied,
the investigation was adjourned.
HORRID MURDER.—On Thursday night,
the 21st ult., JOSIAH RANDALL, of Frankland (Vermont),
killed his wife and a son about 14 years of age. RANDALL
comnDneed the work of death by attacking his wife's
mother (who was at his house taking care of his wife,
then recovering from a fit of sickness) with a large knife,
observing to her that he would kill her. The old lady
received a slight wound in the arm, but succeeded in es'
raping from the house, when he immediately, with the -
ferocity of a demon, attacked his wife, who was in bed in
the room with an infant child, and gave her a mortal wound
in the neck ; but by the interference of his daughter, about
12 years of age, the mother fled to another room. He then
attempted to cut the throatof his little daughter; she resisted,
and prevented the fatal effects of the knife by holding her
hands around her neck: her hands were sadly cut, and a se'
vere wound on both sides of her neck. fie then attacked
his son, who had come to the assistance of his little sister, and
killed him. The girl, with the utmost presence of min',
went to another room where two younger children were
sleeping, and escaped with them to the garden, where are
hid them in the currant bushes, covering them over with
a blanket, in which situation they remained undiscovered
and unhurt, and, notwithstanding her severe wounds, she
again entered the house, took the infant, and then fled tO
the neighbours and gave the alarm. The neighbours
immediately repaired to the house, where they beheld a
most shocking and heart-rending spectacle—RANDALL wad
seated by the fire, his son's head severed from his body,
and burning upon the coals—the body of his wife was
lying on the hearth, and her clothes on fire. RANDA LE, was
immediately arrested and committed to prison at St. Albans.
He has heretofore been known at times to have been par-
tially deranged, and these deeds of darkness are attributed
to a fit of insanity.—Burlington (N. A ) Sentinel.
