about ten o'clock the accident took place. The weather was
very hazy at the time and boisterous, the wind blowing
the north, and the Beatitude was not perceived till within a

cable's length. Every effort was made to clear the vessel,
but without success, and the nest moment they dashed against
each other with frightful violence. The scene that ensued on
board the vessels is impossible to be described. The master
of the Beatitude (Captain Lamb) and the crew had scarcely
sufficient time to jump on beard the Volant before his vessel
went down head foremost, and fur some time it was feared
that that vessel would go down also : but by keeping the
pumps going, she was kept afloat, and early in the morning

DFUL M

URDER.—On yesterday morning the body
era te.

an organ-player was disc

on the Dodder, shockingly murdered. His throat was nearly
cut across, two stabs in the jugular, a large cut on the fore-
head, and a deep cut on the top of the head. The hands
were partially wounded, as if in a struggle ; 2s 104 d was
found in his pocket, and his organ was broken by his side.
He appears to have been about 28 years of age, about five
feet four inches in height, and wore a blue cap with a peak,

a velveteen

~.Dicer, corduroy trousers, and a vest. It is sup-
ised that a countryman of his own, with whom he had been
during the day, is the perpetrator of this
diabolical deed. The circumstances attending the commis-
sion of the bloody deed—or the person by whom it was com-
mitted—are still involved in the greatest mystery ; and al-
though suspicions of a very strong nature are entertained
against one of his companion's. no evidence has yet been pro-
cured which can attach the slightest guilt to any one. His
body was discovered on Sunday morning, about seven o'clock,
by a young woman who was passing at the time, and pre-
sented an appearance which denoted that his savage murderer
had coolly and premeditately committed the act which de-
prived his wretched victim of life. The throat was nearly
cut across ; two stabs appeared in the jugular, a large cut on
the forehead; two desperate wounds on the left ear, and a
desperate cut on the top of the head. Within a foot of where
he lay was found the organ which the unfortunate young man
had with him at the time, completely uninjured ; a stick
which he carried also about two yards from him, on which
no marks of blood were found; but a gilt which he wore in-
inside his clothes, and containing ten or twelve pounds in
bank notes, was taken and carried off, as if his murderer had
iware where the money could be found.
