MURDICR.—A murder of the most barbarous and

unprovoked description was committed in the night
of the 4th current, at Cawnpore, on the person of
.Lieutenant Cooper, of his Majesty's 67th Regiment,
by an European private, named belonging to
the same corps. It appears by the account of this
transaction, with which we have been favoured, that
-the deceased heiag-the *Seer of the aisain-guard for
tho night, had laid down on hie couch about ten
o'clock, and that Reilly was on duty as tentinel iu
the same verardah where Lieut.:lmq Cooper was re-
posing : a short time after he was posted, Reilly
asked Lieut.• Cooper's bearer for a glass of water,
but the man, it is stated, would not get op to give it
him. Whether provoked 'by this circumstance, or I
from what other cause, certainly does not appear;
we are told that the sentinel proceeded forthwith de-
liberately to load his firelock, and unfieing the'
bayonet, so as to get near to his objeot, he rested his
piece on the couch, with thou:BWe close to the head
of Mr. Cooper (who was at this time fast asleep),
end blew his brains out. The report of the musket I
brought the serjeant of the guard to the spot, who
found Lieut.. Cooper bleeding and dead, Reilly, in
the mean while, had reloaded his piece, which he
presented nt the seijeant ; but the, latter instantly
rushed on him, wrested the musket from hie hands,
and see; red him: The only reason which the wretch
assigned for this act was, that Mr,Cooper's servant
hnd once before refused to give him water. He was
of course ordered into close confinement, and would
La sent to Calcutta for trial. We lament to add, that
the deceased has left n widow and family to lament
his loss.—(Galcutta Gazette, Sept. 23.)

Coonberinnd Youths ascended the west-end brick
tower of Baaligtffertrh; in Tower-street, London,
a id rang a complete maiden peal on the new belts,'
in Mr. Jahn Molt's ten-course method, on grandsire
Cripples, containing 5010 musical changes, amducted
by Mr. John Noonan, which was brought round in
three hours and eight minutes. Weight of the tenor,

A party of young sprigs of fashion, who were kick-
ing up a rora in St. George's parish, were surrounded
by a party of honest night guardians, and taken to
Mount-street watch-house. One of them, who was
dressed in a drab Begjamin, divested his back of the
coat, and seated himself upon it, to bother the watch-
man out of his identity. Whilst the watchmen were'
eegaged n ith the other offenders against the peace,
the person alluded to, observed to one of the lan-
thorn bearers, 64 I want to go out a moment, but I ,
am fearful of going, as I am a witness here, and
probably shall not be let in again."—" God bless
you," replied the other, 66 Go, and tap when you
,rant to come in."—The tap never took place, for the
Gentleman took his coat under his arms sad made a,
safe retreat.

• --euaiLuna.— A match for 50 guineas was decided at
Hnraeld (about two miles from Bristol), on Monday,
after a severe contest of 43 minutes, in which IV)
rounds were fought. The combatants were named
Long and Lane ; the former, a man of 13 stone,the
latter 10 stone. Great science was shown by both ;
but the weight of metal preponderated, although dur-
ing the fight Lane was by far the best, in point of
bitting and stopping; hut an unlucky blow just
under the chin, disabled him from coming up io time,
and decided &I battle in favour of Long.
