SHOCKING AND AFFLICTING (LIT.'S-
TROPIIE.

Wiare desirous to correct some parts of the state-
ment, which appeared in our Paper of yesterday,
respecting the seizure of a quantity of Heckle Steel.
We are authorized to say, that the packages in ques-
tion contained only British manufactured steel ac-
cording to the entry; and that none of them. were
marked or indorsed 64 Tin." Neither was Mr. For-
rester apprehended by Adkins, as he went volunta-
rily to the Office, on hearing ,that the business had
been carried there by the Searchers, to give such ex-
planation on the subject as might be required of him.
The articles in question, we understand, can only
be exported in virtue of an Order in Council, of
which Mr. F. was not aware; and his informality, in
this respect, has given rise to the proceedings which
we have noticed.

(ANOTOIR ACCOCNT.
The flimile consisted of %tr. and Mrs. llyne, and two chil-
dren ewe of the titer about three yeas of age, the other only
a fin; months old, and two servants. Mr. Byer, early this
morning, wrote a letter to his mother, who resides in Ply-
wood'. taking an affectionate leave of her, and dispatched one
of the servants with it; itmnediately after her departnre, be is
mid to have taken ant pistols, *bleb he had prepared and•pre-
vionsly loaded for the purpose, with one of *hitt he first shot
Mrs. Dyne through the breast, who was then sitting with her
children at breakfast, aod, with other pistols, blew out the
brain, of the Infants; be then with a razor attempted to cut his
own throat, but that not proving effectual, he put an instant
period to his existence, by shooting himself through the heart.
It is stated, that the contents of the letter written to his mother,
develoeed the dreadful deed be bad in contemplation, and
which was tarried into execution before the latter could possibly
receive it. The ;sorties were youngf and had been married only
about four years dun all which time they had lived in the
most perfect harmony. Me two infants and the unfortunate fa-
-1 !her died imtandy, and, we undershot& Mrs. Ilyne is also dead.
(ANOTIM seroutse.)
This morning, about nine o'clock, tne inhabitants of Ply-
mouth were thrown into indescribable terror. Mr. Ilyne, do r-
, merchant, of Old Town, Plymouth. %bile sitting at breakfast
with his wife and two children, soddenly seized one of s.:iens,.
and rut its throat; he then seized the other, and on the inter.
fecence of his agonized wife, be fired a pistol at her, when she
fell, and he completely severed the windpipe of the second
child. Ile finished the horrible business by blowing his own
1 brains oat with a secood pistol. The consternatioe of the neigh-
-1 bouts on rushing into the scene of blood, may be easily coo-
relent. Mrs. llyne was found living; a bull had entered bee
shoulder, and she had been 'twined for the moment by the re-
port of the pistol, which was held very chime, and which only
missed its intended effect by the agitation of Nir. dyne. The
unfortunate and wretched perpetrator of this decd was about
II years of age, bad always borne a snow character, and was
cornidered to be a man posseisiag property. lie had transacted
business on the Saturday preceding; was seen walking on the

tradesmen at Plymouth-dock on Monday morning.
JOLT 7.—lt was erroneously stated in my lost, that bln. Ilyae
had expired after lingering some hours, in enoweuenee of being
shot by her husband. It now appears, that she still survives,
; and there are some small hopes of her recovery. The Coroner's
tannest was taken this morning on 'he bodies of Mr. Ilyne, and
his leo children; but the Aware of the verdict gives by the
Jury is not yet known.

of a Keeper of the Register of Hornings in Scotland :

Keepers.
Tuesday morning the servant of Mr. Welley, a
'respectable baker, in Whitechapel, on coming down
stairs to attend his morning business, found his mas-
ter lying in a state of insensibility at the bottom of
the stairs. He immediately alarmed the family, and
a medical man was sent for, but although some signs
of animation at one time previous to his arrival were
discoverable, yet the spark of life was too far extinct
for any efforts of his to recal It. Mr. Welley was
subject to fits, and it is supposed he was seized with
one as be was proceeding up stairs to bed.
Au action was tried in the Court of Exchequer,
' Dublin, on Friday, brought by Major Bryan, one
-of the Catholic Delegates, ajainst Mr. Warren, one
of the Proprietors of The Ifibernian Journal, for a
libel, iu attempting to establish a kind of analogy I
between the names and dispositions of the Plaintiff
and Jemmy O'Brien, a notorious informer and mur-
derer. Witnesses were called on the part of the D.:- i
fendant, to prove that he had repeatedly given
' directions to prevent scurrilous paragraphs from
being inserted in the paper—one of whom, as statc.l
jin The Freeman's Journal, acknowledged, on his
Icross-examination, that Counsellor Fitzsimmons.oh-
flatted a place under the revenue for •his.writings in
