A. horrid circumstance occurred near Bangor. ,C -
ar-
narvonsliire, last week, which has created a stroilif;
Nensation there—that of a woman haVing cot Ir.
husband's throat I--It appeared that the man ancil7':f4
wife were osually on very bad terms, and lived_alpne.
in a cottage in the Bangor ferry-road. On dream-
ing of Thursday last, about two o'clock, the people
of- the adjoining house were awoke by a noise at of
two persons struggling. This they disregarded, as
such things were not unusual. Upon entering the
house, which was done by force, the man was disco-
vered with his throat dreadfully cot; there were also
cuts upon his face and hands, and upon the woman's
arms. 'The latter she affirms to have been occasioned
by her endeavouring to prevent his murdering hint-
lself. Upon examination before the Coroner's In-
quest, she was proved to have remained in the house
four hours after the perpetration of the deed—had
washed his shirt and her own shift had lifted the
body from the floor, closed the eyes, bound tip the
wound, and wiped the razor, not omitting to mop
the floor. Fifteen of the Coroner's Jury.were for re-
turning a verdict of wilful murder against the wife;
but the one finally given Wilful Murder
against some person or persons unknown, with strong
suspicions against the wife."—The Professional Gen-
tlemen examined were divided in opinion; the mai° .
rity thought he could not have cut his own throl.4
The woman is committed to prison, and will be tried
on Thursday or Friday next, at Carnarvon.
SUMMARY CONVERSION. MACLEAN, the Laird
of Coll, adopted a very summary method to bring
about uniformity of sentiment in one of the Hebrides,
a small island called Rum. When he entered upon
the possession of that sterile spot, he found all the in-
habitants Roman Catholics; and being himself a
zealous Protestant, it was trot without considerable
vexation that he saw all his dependents having re-
course to a mode of worship so little in unison with
his own views aas churchman. To effect a reform is
this important concern, he placed himself one Sun-
day, during Mass, at the entry .of the Chapel, and
having ordered the congregation to be dismissed, be
locked the door, and put the keys in his podia;
threatening the people as they passed him in going
out, that he would cane every individual who should
ever venture to return to take part in those %Ten; .i-
-tious ceremonies. From this moment all the inha-
bitants of Rum embraced the Protestant faith, and
,went to the kirk with the Laird. It happened the tt
MACLEA N, whilst thus exercising his zeal as a iv-
former, had seconded his menaces by shaking, in th e
faces of his converts, a golden-headed cane, which h
gave them to understand would prove the instru
ment of their punishment in case of a relapse is
Popery. A circumstance which led- the other Ho H.
brideens, whenever they had occasion to speak of th e
conversion of the people of Rum, to call them tie!
