SNoCKING MURDER OF WM. CRUISE, ESQ., OR BEL-
Rum Cot.Nyv or Denux.—The following circum-
stances may be relied on as authentic Mr. Cruise
and his brother were on a visit to Mr. \angle, of
liarrisker, County Kildare, and went out shooting on
Wednesday last, along the river Boyne ; having
sprung some sniffs and ducks at the saute tittle, which
dew i• opposite directions, the brothers separated
never to meet again. Mr. William Cruise continued
his sport near the Boyne aqneduct, and a little before
• sunset called at the house of a respectable fanner of
the name of Lynam, to enquire the shortest way to
Mr. Naugle's, which was al t a mile and a half dis-
tant ; then procee.:ng for about a quarter of a mile in a
direct line across the fields, he tired at a bin!, and before
he loaded his gun again, which was single barrelled,
was joined by two men in frieze coats, who were seen
to assist him in hookinT for the bird in an adjoining
field, and on the identical spot where he was found
neat morning murdered, his pointer dog lying across'
his breast, his watch, money, powJer-horn and a shot-
bas,• untouched, the stork of his gun broken off near
the butt-end, the rest of it shattered, the lock re- •
maining but the barrel taken away, and the back of
his skull broken into many pieces. This respectable ,
and unfortunate gentleman was a total stranger in that ,
part of the country ; the faithful dog could scarcer•
be drag.-ed awaoy from the b•'dv, and on the day after
the corpse was found, broke away from the house ofi
Mr. Naugle, and returned to the spot where his ill,
fated master was assassinated. Every possible search I
and esertim. ha■ been made by that indefatigable Ma•
gistrate, James Tangly Es 9., of Carlisle, to discover
the perpetrators of this diabolical act, but hitherto, we
are sorry to say, without effect, thonifh it took place
in the immediate vicinity of a populous neighbour-

We have copier) tie atmosostatement from the Pa-
blo. Various rumours connected with the fatal dr-
cutustance hare been current in this city for the last
two days. It has been *aid that Mr. Uruise was mis-
taken for another gentleman who went from Dublin
to distr,Lin some lands for non-payment of rent. On
lotiolay, an itoptest was held on the body, which,
alter two days investig•ation, returned a verdict of
wilful murder azainst some person or persons un-
known. lar!,e reward has been offered for the dis-
covery of the murderers.—(Carrirk's Murhimg Post.)

E‘TH tioRDINARY ESCAPE.—Early on the morning
of Tuesday meek, some men belon,ding to Merit!. Hill
colliery, Northumberland, were waiti dg the arrival
of the gin horse te Ku down into sue pit. Owing to
the cleaning of the boiler, the regular engine rope was
not in a norkablu state at the moment, but about 20
fathoms of it, with the chain, were hanging into the
shaft. thic of the men, John Wilson, having in the
dark gone incautiously too near the bridge, fell in.
Repeated cries fd.din within the shaft at last roused
the attention of the other men, who, on repairing to
the spot, with a light, were told by him that he had
fallen into the pit. and was then hanging by the rope.
As soon as the alarm would allow them to take mea-
sures for his preservation, they proceeded to adjust
the gin rope, a work that occupied not less than 15
minutes, from their haying to discharge it on one
pulley and place it upon another. After fixing on a
corf, otic of them wished to descend in it to his assist.
ance, hut tlris, Wilson forbade them to do. The corf
was now let done gently till it came under his feet;
he then freed himself from the engine rope, and be-
ing seated its the corf, was drawn slowly to the bank.'
in a state of indescribable trepidation. He wasow,
ever, Ale, with the assistance of another malt, to
walk hpwards of a mile to his own house, which on
watering, he threw himself upon his knees, and pour-
ed out his fervent thanks to Hod for his deliverance.
No sooner was this done than, uverpowed by the
dreadful conflict of his feelings, be fainted. Some
time elapsed before he recovered tolerable composure,
and even still when the subject is recurred to, his
agitation is extreme. Being questioned minutely,
he said, " he had gone to the brink of the shaft to
ascertain whether his comrade was calling upon him
from below, and being deceived by a glimmering of
light through a crevice in the brattier partition, his
feet slipt. He was conscious at the moment he dropt
in,. lint has no recollection whatever of how or when
he caught held of the engine rope. The first thing
he was sensible of was the rope sliding in his breast,
and nest its stripping his left hand which be held
mainly ea, and also with the legs and feet. lle had
in his right head a small stick, of which he kept firm
pow.eseisA'all the time, and hroaght it np with him."
There was a them of 150 feet perpendicular depth
yawningdwatath.—The only iojary lie has sustained
is a severe barn of tl.c left head from the friction of
Om rope, slight pails on hit left shoulder, and a cer-
tain degree of Mental discomposure.
