MELANCHOLY and FATAL OCCURRENCE.
CORK, Nov, 7.—On Sunday morning one of our City
Sheriffs, John Wallis, Esc., while patroling Barrack•street,
attended by the Peace Officers of the City, arrested a man
of the name of James Coghlan. A struggle ensued, which
provoked Mr. Wallis to strike the man with a loaded pistol
which he held in his hand, in the act of doing so, the con-
tents of the pistol were accidentally discharged into his head.
A Coroner's Inquest was held upon his body, and con-
ducted with becoming rigonr, when the following verdict
was delivered :—" That the deceased .Tas. Coghlan came
by his death in consequence of a shot from a pistol, in the
liand of John Wallis, Esq. one of the High Sheriffs of the
city of Cork, which accidentally went off, while in the
act of making. a blow at the deceased, while he, the said
Sheriff, was in the execution of his duty—but we cannot
separate without expressing our opinion, that striking the
blow when a loaded pistol was in his hand, was indiscreet
and imprudent."—Cork Constitution.

TfIE FETCHAM MURDER.—Willitlill Page, nick-
named " Cobbler Will," and Mary Ayres, underwent
a lone examination yesterday, before R. J. Chambers,
fiedger, Solomon Davis, and D. King, Esqrs., in
the private room at Union Hall police-office, on suspi-
cion of being implicated in the murder of John Ake-
hurst and his aged housokeeper. The evidence was
very long, the depositions having taken several hours
in writing down. They were both remanded to a
future day, when additional evidence is expected to be
produced.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE..--This morning, at half.
past 10 o'clock, a decent-looking woman, apparently 40
years of age, threw herself into the Thames near Black-
friars-bridge. She was fortunately rescued by a water-
man, and stated that want of food compelled her to the
act. She is the mother, we understand, of several Children.

SHOCK ING IVIIIRDEII.---On Monday morning laat,
a deliberate and atrocious murder was committed on a man
of the name of Richard Power, an industrious tenant of
Lord Clancarty, resident in the neighbourhood of Lough-
rea. It appears that this diabolical and bloody act was
committed about day-light on the morning of Monday, by
three men, who tied a rope round his neck in the first in-
stancethavingineurtirliy strangled him, were about de-
part v
andfo unfortunate man declared his knowledge
lhe
tt e
of the parties, when they returned and finished the horrid
deed. There is no possible cause assignable for this sa-
vage and premeditated murder, excepting that Power suf-
fered his children to attend the school established in the
neighbourhood; and that the late harangues delivered by
the priests and demagogues' have inflamed the peoples'
minds to a state of the most furious excitement.--Dablin

SWALLOW-SIIOOTINO SICILY.--.-In the autumn, I
witnessed a spectacle, to me perfectly novel, consisting of a public
festivity of the natives. Walking one day upon the shore, near
to the Garden of Flora, I Paw immense crowds of people as-
sembled, not only parading on the shore itself, but tilling a quan-
tity of boats which ran immediately along
the. COW, and which
were providedwith guns, discharging every moment into the air.
On arriving nearer, 1 perceived that
j these shots were aimed at
huge fights of birds, which were just migrating to this island
from the continent of Europe—swallows, starlings, and other
birds of passage. I cannot describe the delight which was mane-
felted by the multitude at the destruction of these poor animals
the atmosphere resounded with their triumphant acclamations.
Ali, poor little creatures !;thought T to myself, in my country you
may have escaped many o hazard, and here, after a perilous *eve],
when approaching near your journey's end,
you are slaughtered
in the mere spirit of idleness ; fur I observed that none of them
were picked up, except indeed by the ducks, who seemed to gobble,
them in with prodigious avidity...-. Companion of the Young
Rifleman.
