MURDER OF EDWARD BROWNE, ESQ.

" Con tuitiglit Journal Office, S ocs, p. ru.

" It is with unfeigned regret we crave to an-
nounce the prom iture death ot Edward Browne,
Esq. of Castlentoyle, io this county ; about three
o'clock this day, as he was passing near Horse-
leap, accompaci,d by his servant, in a gig, he
received a shot r.hich caused his immediate death.
Ile wei.,it is supposed, mistaken for another per-
son, whose extraordinaty zeal in suppressing-
seditinn has laiely made him obnoxious to the
disaffected peasantry ; and we have to regtet,
that ibis inestimable young man has fallen a sic-
tins to such unmet bed revenge. His remains sync
ren►ovetl slimily atter to his brother-in-law's,
(John Nolan, ot Ballinderry, Esq.) The distraction
in which that family, his other numerous hiends
and relatives, are involved, cannot be described.
lire have received this information by a messenger
dispatched flow this office, on business, in that
direct inn, who beheld the afflicting scene.
" Two outrages el a dating desciip:ion were
committed in the town ,of Charkville and its vici-
nity, between the early bouts of six and *veil
o'clock on Monday, by armed men, with their
laces blackened, entering two houses, and steal-
ing t het tout five muskets, one case of pistols, and
a bayonet. The Gentlemen ot that place have
offered it handsome reward in this day's Chi onicle,
for the apprehension of the perpetrators.—(Lime-
rick Chronicle.)

THE THAMES.--,-The Thames, above Battersea-
bridge, on the south side, early on Sunday
morning, was frequented by many persons,
the ice being sufficiently strong to bear their
weight. On the tutu of the tide it all disap-
peared. 'rive two sides of the bridge presented a
striking contras', the west side being a clear run-
ning stream, while on the east side, mountains of
ice and snow extended dot%is the ri%er us far as
the rye could reach, and connected together front
bank to. bank. Many boys had the temerity to
venture across.

G,LASOOW RATR R.-011 Monday night the
Tragedy of Richard the Third was performed here ;
the part of Glo'ster by au elderly gentleman of
the name of FEauusottr, a n►eal-dealer in this city,
beir►g his first appearance on any stage. Not-
withstandiog the dkadvantages of his age, and a
strong not thern accent, he acquitted himself sur-
prisingly well, and greatly to the satisfaction of
the audience, who testified their approbation by
continued peals of laughter. Ilad A stranger en-
tered and witnessed the scene, he would have
imagined himself in the midst of a set of bloody-
radicals, exulting over the destruction
of {dogs and nobles. At the close the op-
roar and cries of " oil'," became so loud anti
general that the actor who came to announce the
next play could not be heard. M:er some time
Mr. MASON came forward, and ill a very feeling.
speech appealed to the generosity of the audience,
stating within the last seven months be ban lost
from 10001. to 15001.,. and as Mr. FERGUSON had
assured him of. at least one full house, if allowed
to perform, l►e hoped for their indulgence. This
address was cordially approved of, and the after-
piece allowed to go on quietly. NVe understand
Mr. CocnitANß is engaged to perform the popular
characters of Bailie Nicol Jarvie and amble-
dykes.—( Gtaspw Chronicle.)

On Wednesday week a vessel, while sailing tip
the river Nnh, encountered rather an uncommon
object,—beine. no less than a poor Hare seated on
a moving flotilla of ice, which was every moment
becoming less, by' the action of the water, and
which, together with its involutitaty passenger, ap-
peared to berapidly hutrying to theAtlantie Ocean.
Ihe seamen on deck having spied this unwonted
voyager at some distance, managed the vessel so
as to intercept the piece ot ice, and fairly succeed-
ed in rescuing tpoor puss from 11 sitna'ion into
which she had no doubt been rlciven by the crueh y
of her enemies on land. But we grieve to record
the sequel. The crew acted the part of gourmands,
rather than of sentimentalists, and thought only
ot. the delicious dish of soup that might be cooked
from the be.►rts blood of their trembling captive.
(Dumfries Courier. )

On Saturday last, Mr. Brothers, Mate of the
Ferret cutter, seized the Levant, smuggling cut-
ter, of 15 tons, formerly the Duke of Richmond's
yacht, having a cargo of a hundred and sixty
tubs Of spirits and Lot. She bad been running
in this illicit trade two years without detection,
although ftequently examined by the cruisers
on this station. She is the same vessel the Rosario
detained about six months since, when site had
in a similar cargo to the present, which %vas
not discovered. She was hailed atl a fisherman,
and practised this succis,tul course, by means
of a false lining throughout the hull, of jost
sufficient width to hold a cask. The expence of
this curiously conoructed and well finished depo-
sitory it is said exceed 2001. Several vessels have
been similarly fi•ted, at Fccatitp. Two of the
inert taken in her being found set viceable, were
sent on board tlie flag ship the other was com-
mitted to Portsmouth gaol,

A violent contention took place at the Theatre,
North Shields, on Atonday se'nnight: One part of
the audience called for " God Save the King.''
and the other for " Scots wha tni'e wi' Wal-
lace bled." The uproar %vas so great, that evbett
the former tune was thanked for " Rule Britan-
nia," the ahem at ion was not distinguished, and the
tonoder of dm approbation continued.
Would the. Ladies as Lunch as post.ihle encourae
the manufacture of face in their vat ions arti-
cles of dress, they w ould do a grew er act
of 'humanity titan they are aware of, for it is au
absolute tact that there ate at this time not less
two hundred thousand poor women and
children devending for support upon its consump-
ti-n, sad whose !oil-Wings at present du not ex-
cecd sixpence per day.
