roism, and genius, such as has never before been raised, and every
tree cot will be a debtor to the ingenious Author, Dr. Abu:usu.,
of Aberdeen.

The Dublin Evening Post, speaking of the singular
discussion at Carrick-on-Shannon, between the Clergy-
men of the Catholic and of the Established Church, on
the Bible question, and the Report of which fills nearly
eleven elosely printed columns, observes—

. .
" The discussion, as might have been readily foreseen, termi-
nated in nothing. Upon the point at issue, the difference between
the 'miles is irreconcileable. But the example tet at Carrick-on-
Shannon will doubtleta find imitations. Thew conferences will
multiply. We understand there is one immediately to be held in
Dublin. In short, the country is converting•into an immense theo-
logical arena, and polemics are likely, for some time, to usurp the
place of politics, if, indeed, they will not be mixed together, and
form that delightful compound, the ferentation of winch produced
such remarkable eon.etpiences iu the reign of Chaska 1."

PROM TUE DUBLIN STAR, NOV. T 3.

Perhaps the whole history of crime in this country
furnishes no parallel to the iniquitous case we now I.lv
before our readers:—The criminal is Mr. J. J. P
a young man, about twenty-three years of age—a cor-
nection of one of the most wealthy and distinguist.e.i
mercantile houses in the kiogdom.
Thursday afternoon the abs.ence 01 P • a first ex-
cited fears that he was '4 party in the do! emelt: of 4
neighbour's wife, a beautiful woman, the mother of three
children, the youngest of which is a babe only a few
weeks old l On Tuesday night, it seems, the guilty
pair hired a job carriage, and fi led it with tronk, con-
taining money, plate, and other valuables. The Lady,
Mrs. M • • • °, had not been long seated vi ith her pa-
ramour, when, according to the driver's account, she
burst into a flood of tears, and tri braided him with his
and her own crime. They took a route which inclines
'their respective ftiends to believe that they have gone
to Waterford, there to take shipping to America. The
distraction of the husband of the unfortunate Lady
mocks the force of language—he left Dublin yesterday
morning, accompanied by some friends, in pursuit;
' and other parties ate also in quest of the offenders its
various directious.

MURDER AT MILNTNORP.--SIILNTIFIORP, Nov. 14.
Several individuals have been taken up on suspicion,
but as yet the real perpetrators have escaped detectioa.
Mr. Lavender, the active Deputy-Constable of Man-
chester, is now making strict investigation into the cir-
cumstances; and from the known vigilance and skill
of that officer, it is to be hoped that the parties int-
plicated will ere long be brought to justice.
THE LATE MURDERS AT BOSTON.—Application hay-
ing been made from the inhabitants of Boston (that some
skilful police officer should be sent fi orn London, to
unravel if possible the mystery in which the late un-
precedented murders have been and still are enveloped,)
to the Secretary of State for the Home Department, for
that purpose, he, with the greatest promptitude, dis-
patched Taunton front Bow-street, that active officer, to
discover, if possible, the perpetrators of these atrocious
crimes. The Secretary of State has also promised, that
if the inhabitants of Boston will raise money sufficient
to be offered as rewards to any accomplices, except the
actual murderer, who shall discover the principal of-
fenders, he will recommend to his Most Gracious Ma-
jesty the KING, to grant a pardon to the informers. A
liberal subscription for that purpose is commenced.
The report of the stoppage of the highly-respectable
banking-house in the vicinity of Covent-garden, arose
from a circumstance of rather an extraordinary nature.
An Irish labourer, who had just arrived firm his native
country, was employed by one of the partners in the
house, as porter, pro lempare, to direct the customers
through the e-rtrance to the office, the passage being in
some measure obstructed by the repairs then in progress
about the house. Paddy strewed all that had business
at the banking-house before five o'clock the way, with
out making the least mistake. At five o'clock, the
house of course closed for the day, and the Irishman was
aware of it ; but in communicating that intelligence in
an awkward manner, he drew upon the house such
rapid demands as would have terrified other concerns.
A few minutes after five o'clock, a Gentleman who had
the bill of a merchant who banks at the house, to pre-
sent for payment, walked up to the door. The I: isii-
man, who possessed all the importance of a servant of
the house, asked him what he wanted? and upon being
told, said to him in a tone of surprise, " Wiry, then,
upon my sows you can't get it. Don't you know the
'bank is stopped?" (meaning the bank is closed). "Lie
last word was quite enough for the person who called
with the bill. He ran off to a particular friend %a')
had money in the banking-house, and mentioned that it
was all up with him. The Irish stoppage was then cc:in-
municated like wildfire through tie metropolis, ail/
conjecture was busy in describing the causes and t: c
amount. The consequence, as the public already kIIWA,
was that the doors of the banking-house were rtes►
morning, before nine. o'clock, crowded with the cus-
tomers, IA hose fears were, however, soon completelY
changed into the greatest confidence.
MELANCHOLY EVENT.—Tlitamiay morning, the ',Nit
ultimo, two sisters, young women, ami daughters
poor widow at St: athlirora, in attempting to cross fl
river Brora, near Carrol, on then- way to Golspie flat Let,
Invernes hire, were unfortunately drowned. When it
was found that they neither came to the market nor re-
turned home by Friday, a se-arch was made, and they
were fOund on the following Sunday in the water, locktd
in each other's arms, near the place where they attempted
to cross. One of the young women was just about to be
married ; and was on her way to the market in conse-
quence of an appointment with the object of her arc•
to make purdass pt ev iota* to urn wedding.
