This morning, between eight and nine. o'clock,
one of the most distressing and melancholy events
that was ever recorded, in the annals of this town
or neighbourhood, took place at the house of Mr,
HYNE, a respectable flour merchant, who resides
at New .Town, a small village distant about a
quarter of a mile- from this place, .The family
consisted of Mr. and Mrs. Ifyx.r. and two
children, one of the latter about three years
of age, the other only a fete months old,
and two servants. Mr. IIyNE, • early this
morning, wrote a letter to his mother, who
resides in this town, taking an of leave
of her, and dispatched one of the servants with it;
immediately after her departure, he is said to
-have taken out pistols, which he had prepared and
previously loaded for the purpose, With one of
which he first shot Mrs. HYNE through the
breast, :Who was then sitting with her children at
breakfast, and with other pistols, blew out the
brains of tb,e infants; he then with a razor at-
tempted to cut his own throat,' but that
not proving effectual, he put an instart period
to his existence by shooting himself through the
heart with a piStol-ball. The sensitions this me-
lancholy catastrophe has occasioned prevents the
possibility of going further into detail, as the
mind is really harrowed up at the contemplation
of so shocking a scene of human depravity. It is
stated that the contents of the letter, written to
his mother, developed the dreadfal deed •he bad
in contemplation, and which was carried' into
execution before the latter could possibly receive
it, whose feelings, on the perusal of ,its contents,
can better be conceived than described. The
parties were young, and had been manied
only about four years, anring all which time
they lived in the most perfect harmony, .and
domestic felicity was a prominent feature in
the character of both,• so that the energies of
.the
mind'are appalled and baffled in endeavouring to
trace the source that could lead to and terminate
in so foul a deed, at which human nature must
recoil, and shudder even at the most remote con-
templation. The two infants and the unfortunate
father died instantly, and, we understand, Mrs.
I:LAYNE is also dead.

In a Conionitte.e of Pi their
on the motion& Lord ERSIII!,ZE, adjourned the
further consideration of the, claim of Ger.. Knolly.;
to the above Peerage, until thr second Tuesday of
the next Session of Parliament.
Tne House then resumed, and after prayers
7were• read; sever.:l Bills were brought up 1::.on2 the
Commons, pending the exclusion of strangers,
among which were the Local Militia Amendment
aad the Irish Stamp Duties Bili ; and during
the same interval, we understand, their Lordships
deferred the Committee on Palmer's Comnensa-•
ton Bill till I°. 1.::4.
ti short conversation took place on the occasion
of the second reading"of the .I%.tarriae Act Amend-
ment Bill,
.between his Grace of Norfolk; Lord
Itedesdifie, "and other Peers ; their Lordships
deemed the measure worthy of the most .crious
consideration of the louse, and certain additional
provisions were referrei to as highly proper to he
introduced into the Bill in • the Conanittee; • this
stage was ti;%-,.P1 for Wednesday, the 22d inst.
he Rye Harbour Improvement Bill was read
a-third time and passed•
The• Bills brought up from the Commons were
tend a first time.. la the instance of the Irish
&amp Duties Bill, s.onCe conversation ensued,
toineipally between the Earls of Lauderdale and
Limerick. . "11:e first-mentioned Peer thought the
Bill should be printed; this idea was objected to
by the-Earl of Li,,'erpool, as against the practice
Of the House to print Bills of the kind.
The Earl Of LAUDiRDALE censured some parts
atf the tenor and language of the Bill, as not suf&
tiently intelligible or distinct ; faults of this kind,
he seemed to say, Were in some degree peculiar
to the generality of such Irish Tax Bills as be had
:inspected.
The Earl of 'LIMERICK could not avoid observ-
!ng, that the- Noble I sri was in the habit of find-
ing fault with every thin!, in that House which! re-1,
hated to that part of the 'United ,KingdoM, either
With the law as it stood, or with any proposed
amendment of it.
The Earl of LAUDERDALE said he should rather
be deeined as acting a friendly instead of a hostile
Part towards Ireland,. which he was desirouS of,
and endeavonredto correct Bills relating to that
country when 'he found them erroneous ; and at
!Ile scone time he may' be a great friend tO the
PeoPte of Ireland, when he opposed its Go
vern:nent. • •

rile Earl of, LIMERIK, in explanation, de
fended and mai' zt'ained the nosition he had ad
tanced.

Sonic conversation, but which led to no pro-
tteefling, si:bsequently took place, with respect to
e Irish Population Act, then pendiag before the
oonse, between Lord Holland, the Earls of Li-
raerick and Stanhope.
Ford HOLLAND gave notice of his intention to
'fwe the second reading of the Ex Officio Infor-
Illation Bills on Friday next.

Eynia,zß TAX BILL.
On the eluest:on for going into a Committee on
IS Bill.
Ile Duke of iI"'DFORD made a few general ob-
frrations against the measure, as likely to ope-
r"At 10 a most injurious and oppressive manner on
- poorer order of the people, it would also ope—
t4tt powerfully upon the small farmers, and
ev eatu all v tend to throw numbers out of employ-
'' If persisted in, he would feel-it proper to
cord his protest against, such an additional
tkx.

rtail SPENCER fully coincided in .the sentiments
the Noble Duke, and suggested the pro„riety
of instructing t',e Committee to divide the Bia,
°I. to have the obnoxio-us part separated from the
other matter, so as to form a distinct Bill, and to
',cuss it accordingly.
.E.rrl of LIVPRPOOL observed that such a
,rl.°eeeding, with regard to a Bill of the kind,
Quid be irregular and anonialous in that ,louse
at
Sug;S;CSterf it w 13,
would equally answer ' his,mov-
_g to leave out the word " Ilides,",irml the re-
vah matter t maer in that:ma of the Bill, and also the
respondiflg part or the Schedules.
I.„Thi3 prooosition, after sonic further conversa-
ir. Was assented to by Earl Spencer, and the
1,04-se resolved into a Committee on the Bill;
orca Walsingharn in the Chair.
-c', tai ad SPENCER then entered into a variety of de-
"d objections against the measure, proceeding
• those grounds on which it had formerly been
k,.,'1'"•"(1. He observed, a tax of the kind hadheen sug-
i;td to thatgreat Statesman, Mr. Pitt, but who,

tiituolaeturees would induce them to do it in a

•
lti h''e Earl of L/72RPOOL, at Some length, and
gr(at abiiitv, defended the measure in ques-
tr„'' as increasing the tax lipon an article, and a
tt;uir, 'which experience a-A record proved to have
tpe9 'ln increasing source of revenue, and a pro-
tipt;lls and growing trade. Such, therefore was,

whole of the documents necessary to enable him
to ground his motion. The man was found guilty
on the 17th February, and on thel9th he was
ordered for execution, but was not reprieved

This calumny had been boldly stated in Dublin,
and, even the Honourable Gentleman, when he

received a free pardon; and that he was at large,
He '(1lr.:Pole) had received two letters,, threaten-

"
" There -..Vzis a man of the name of Walter Hall
convicted yesterday of the. murder of a boy in
Aungier-strek, andsentencel, as the law requires,
to be executed to-mortow. There was something
id the investigation.(thoug-h4 made no part of his
:defence) that pressed on my Triin:i the idea of at
least temporary insanity in the -man. There was
no assignable inoti.c for hiS act; and the man had
the character °Oar inoffensive and peaceable per.:

a state--' of such intoxicatioa as to leave bin

thing to warrant me in putting an issue of:insanity
to the Jury; it :vas only a fceling of my own

put it off till next Session, upon a motion for a
paper which could have no bearing whatever upon
the facts of the case. .
Mr. WIIVITREAD observed, that he also had re-
ceived, threatening letters of assasination, should
he oppose the Right lam). Gentleman (Mr. Pole) ;
so that both -stood in a perilous situation, yet
neither would' shrink front their duty. He was
disposed to imp rite blame to the Irish , Govern-
Meat in their conduct, -because a pardon granted
tipon such terms would equally apply to all. cases
Of murder. With respect to the observetion of
orthe Ji'idges—"" that Hall had Murdered the
Man in an extravagant lit of loyalty,' that would
serve as an excuse for every species of loyal mut,
der. If he thought Hall iasane, why did he re- ,
commend that he should be sent upon foreign
service ? There he would get plenty of spirits,
which would increase his disorder, and he might
shoot his comrades.
• Lord CAsTeErtAGnr-regretted, that his Honour-
able Friend should call for a paper which "must
interpose a bar to Lis motion for the present
Session. The question was, whether or not the
Lord Lieutenant had not acted coirectly and
mercifully, in attending to the recommendation
of the Judges, and in not ordering the execut:on•
-of the sentence of the law ? The Noble Lord
agreed with his. Right Mon. Friend, that the Hon.
Mover was in justice bound to call for the reci-
sion of Parliament before the close of the Se-I.ion,
and not allow the charge against the Govern-
ment of Ireland to remain unanswered.
Sir f. 21.:RDETT agreed with the Noble Lord
that the House was not the proper tribunal to try
the cause over again ; but he thought the conduct
of the Judges on the occasion demanded investiga-
tion, and he knew the public was indebted tO. the
Hon. Gentleman for bringing so important a con-
Stitutional question before the House.
• Mr. W. kITZGERALD condemned the motion, as
charging the Government of Ireland with a gross
breach of duty. Ile observed, that one of the
leading-- orators in'Driblin had characterised the
conduct of that Government with infaniy: Under
such a charge, was it fair to wait for such a paper
as that now moved for ?

Mr. R. :MARTIN was of opinion that the GoV(:rn-
ment, as a matter of course, ;;as bound to attend
to the -A•econnuendation of,theJudges; at the saute
time, he could not' help thinking that their con-'
duct was the most absurd, for if the man was in-
sane, then, he was not guilty of any crime, and
to have received a, free pardon.
Mr. DaouonAk observed; that the present was
a subject of the most delicate nature ; and that
the H9llF:e Oliht to proceed in it warily and:
scr6pnlonsly. it involved tae'charetter and con-
duct of two Judges of the land. . Although lie
condemned the h'igh tone assumed by the-Gen-.
tlecrien oppos;te, because on the face cf the papers ..
already on the table, there was ground for enter-
taining some doubts, yet he was bound to believe
that the..3eLearnedJudges satijactory

Mr. TIGHE declared, that when he originally
.gave a notice on thisubjcct, it was with an in-
tention of discussing it fully on the present otca-
sion. N:Jthing could be further from his mind,
than the v:ish to shirk from the i!lvestig-:-Ition
,which lied been imputed tc''n:ni. He read is ad,
milted, that if blame attalled to any one, it Was
