The destruction of the antique barrows in Green-
wich- park has been for the present suspended. About
twenty of these national memorials of the valour of the
ancient Britons in the time of Alfred the Great were
swept away a few days since in digging for the proposed
reservoir. Since then, however, the work has been sus-
pended by authority, and it is now believed by those who
appear to be the best informed upon the subject, that in
deference to th'e strongly expressed wishes of the inha-
bitants, a site for the reservoir will be adopted beyond
the limits of the beautiful park.

ATROCIOUS MURDER.----It is our painful duty to
record one of the most brutal murders that has taken
place for some time. We learn that on the evening of
Sunday, the 16th instant, an armed party entered the
house of Patrick Hughes, of Newtown, in the county of
Roscommon, and deliberately murdered him, by stabbing
him in several parts of the body, and breaking his skull.
The poor man had only retired to rest a few minutes
previously, and was aroused by the screams of his wife,
who was seriously abused, and had got up to save her
from the party. No reason is given for this dreadful
murder ; Hughes was a pensioner, well-conducted, and
in comfortable circumstances. Hughes lived within a
mile of Strokestown, on the side of the mail-coach road.
Through the exertions of Captain Blakeny, who imme-
diately attended, two of the party have been arrested and
indentitied.—Dublin Evening Mail
MILL IMPROVEMENTS...-WO understand that an
enterprising individual from Manchester has purchased
the old " Sovereign Mill" and premisei adjoining, which
have long been standing idle and vacant, in Stanley-
street, opposite the jlosp Bud Inn? The mill will by
considerably enlarged in extent, and filled with ma-
chinery, thus furnishing additional employment to the
manufacturing operatives of Preston. To render the
establishment more spacious, several old cottages tend
other adjoining buildings have been removed. In Back?
lane, also, the mills belonging to Mr. Pearson (to the
soot}}-we;t of Trinity Church), which have long been
empty, are now 'being #lled with machinery, and will.
shortly be in full operation. We may here just men-
tion, for the information of strangers, that within the
last three or four
months seven new power-loom sheds,
and one new mill, haye ben erected, pr are now in
course of completion, in this town. Thp aboyp fact§
may be received as good symPtoms of thp increasing ma;
