, SHOCKING EPTNT.

On Sunday last the following dreadful occurrence
,took place at Fivehead, near Taunton, in the hce.e
appointed for the reception of insane persons. Car-
tailt .whose der ngement had rendered h.l
~confinement in the house necessary for.several years
past. after dining'with a friend of his (Captain Mu.-
Len, late Paymaster and Agent to the Stafford Mi-
litia) who had come from London to see him, con-
triied to gain admission into the room of Mr. Ga.
the keeper, where he.seized a brace of pistu:s,
,with which he proceeded to thkapartment, where his
friend,(Captain Muss) was writing, and instantly
discharged one of the pistols at him, which unfortn-
toOk effect, and he fell dead. He immediately
'retired to his own room, where he shot himself with
the other pistol, and died in a few seconds.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
•
Extract of a letter from the Rev. Mr. CALF, dated
Taunton. Aped IS: Pray call immediately on
the friends of Ceptaiu MILLER. and inform them rf
the fatal accident hereunder related.. Poor Captain
MfLutst. it seems. arrived yesterday by the subscrip-
tics coach, at the Heath6eldArms, near the M tdhuuse,
at Fivebead, where I visit as a Magistrate. This mor-
ning be visited his old friend, Lieutenant Ft.r.mivo,
atFivoliead House, where they dined together in tl.e
most friendly manner, retired soon atter to Mr. Rs-
lento's bed-room, and in less than a quarter of an
hoer the oxplesion of pistoli was heard. and those
two old (fiends were immediately found lifeless.—
This is a brief relation of this horrid business. I
have seen the bodies, the place, &c. this afternoon,
and, after every examination,ol the circumstances,
have no doubt Lieutenant Fteurxo first murdered hit
friend, partly by a sword, and lastly by a pistol-shot.
and then murdered himself. (Signed) os. GALE."
Captain MILLti received. on the bibloit. a very pretoin
letter from Lieutenant FLEsstwo, intrealing bins to go dant°,
stating he could not live long. sod wished much to sel hit al
friend before be died. Captain MIL Li', therefore, left town
Friday to perform the last act of humanity. as be thought, to one
whose views through Lk be had always promoted.

A disturbance took place in the town of Taunton.
-on Monday afternoon last, (14th instant) owing to tte
misbehaviour of a party of five or six men belonging
to the Inniskilling Regiment of Dragoons, quattevl
its she Barracks, Soho, being intoxicated, grossly as-
saulted several inhabitants, and kept the town for a
oloisaiderable time in a state of great alarm. Th.l
shops were shut round the parade, and business Via;
entirely suspended. Mr. CHORLEY, straw hat
hicuartr, of bl.ath-street, was mercilessly beaten abu::
the bead; Mr. durroast, the Constable, was violent);
seized by two of the num, who attempted to wmt
from him the staff of his authority ; he, however, very
spiritedly persevered in his duty, and succeeded ill
bringing away one of the assailants. The party whit':
commenced these outrages was subsequently augm!r-
ted by an armed corporal's guard horn the Barrack,
who it was expected came for the purpose of tram -
ing the delinquents to their quarters, but t cm si fled with
their comrades. A number of facts arc in our poor:-
slot) connected with this scandalous affair, but as
iovestigetion of them will, we trust, be deemed Ind's-
pensable, for the purpose of allaying the sensitior,
excited in the town by. this occurrence, we forfgur
stating a syllable more at pretest on the occasion, tital
dmt co the men retiring to their quarters, the ctot'.4
t kb had.nssembled immediately dispersed, and tic
