ST. Domitrao.—At the Cape there are about 5000
infantry, and 1500 cavalry, with a very good park
of artillery. The whole of the regular military este-
blishaieet is calculated at 2.2,000 men, and the mi.
Wit is said to consist of 33,000. Fort Henry, or
the citadel of CHRIITOTHE, is a stupendous work,

FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday a curious occur.
mace took place at Astley's Theatre, which, we re-
gret to say, terminated the existence of a very re-
spectable saddler, of the name of Stevenson, who i
keeps a shop a little below the Theatre. The cele- 1
brated stag, well know by the name of Zephir, hay-
ing been kept up since the close of the Theatre last
season, had got very fat, and, as it appears, vicious.
Mr. Parker was desirous that the collar which it
wore should be extended in its dimensions, and sent
for Mr. Stevenson for that purpose, and shocking to
relate, that upon his approaching the animal it ran
furiously at him, and gored him in the abdominal
parts. Mr. S. bled so copiously, that he expired in
a quarter of an hour, notwithstanding medical as-
sistance was immediately resorted to.
An Inquisition was held last week at Ashton.

wards slighted by him, and resolved to drown herself
and the infant. The Jury brought in a Verdict-.'.
Lunacy.
A HORRID MURDER.—We are extremely sorry
to be under the necessity of noticing an act of atrer
city, which seldom has been equ'ulled in any part
of the country, but certainly exceeds in enormity aay
ea
thing which has ever occurred in this neighbourhood.]
A young man, of the name of Hasson, was attack ,
lest week, near Lyng, his place of residence, on Ms
way from the fair of Ballymullans, in open day, on
the King's high-way, and within view, it is said, of
l' several persons employed in digging potatoes, set,
not 40 yards from houses, and was deliberately mar.!,
demi by three (my account says five) ruffians, who
I appear to have lain in wait for him. One of them
knocked him down with some heavy weapon, and
the others continued to beat him with bludgeons un-
til life was extinct, while the potatoe-diggers stood
aloof with their spades in their hands, seemingly re-
gardless of his cries for mercy and assistance. 'What
is equally extraordinary and very improbable, those
who witnessed the shocking scene deny all knowledge
el the murderers, and notwithstanding the utmost
exertions of the agistrates, they have not yet been
identified in i neighbourhood where every individual
is almost universally known. liaison was reputed to
have been an Orangeman.—(Londonderry Journal.)
Mr. Lorsueove, whom the Bath Papers sd pre-
