Singular Murder.-We have learned
the following particulars from gentle
man lately from Three Rivers. A
young man, living on the opposite bank
of the river, affianced TO girl of the
same place, went down to Quebec. He
there became acquainted with another
girl, whom he married. After his re-
turn, the disappointed one, meeting her
successful rival on the beach and deriv-
ing strength from Jealousy, seized her,
flung her to the earth and when she
opened her mouth to scream for assist
ance, crammed it full of sand. The un-
fortunate woman, fearful of being stihed,
endeavoured to keep her mouth shut,
but, gasping for breath, was obliged to
reopen it, and at each attempt to res
pire received an additional handful, till
she at length fell victim to the dabol-
icsl rage of her enemy. The murder
ess is in gaol at Three Rivers.

Funeral of Buonabarte.

The following account of the fune-
raj of Buonaparte is extracted from the
Guardian, ia which it is given as an ex-
tract from the private letter of an Off
Ger of st. Helena -" Duonaparte was
buried on Wednesday, the 9th, beneath
the willow trees, in the spot he had
pointed out about mile and half
from LongYood-House, (by the road.)
A procession of the military Staff, and
all the Naval officers, followed the
corpse, which was laid on black car,
in plain mahogany coffin, (laid wood,
and tin within, and was received, on
emerging fiom the grounds, by line
of 1000 troops, including Artillery and
a party of Marines, with four bands
drawn up BY the road side. As soon as
it passed, tie troops followed to the
place of int,rment, and halted, occupy
ing the road winding along the valley
side, aboveit while the procession de-
scended by road made for the occa-
sien, on foot; the body was then borne
by "a grena'iers, from the several
corps present. to the grave, where it
was deposited with the Priests bles-
sing, in chamber, within a large stone
vault The chsmber was then closed
with large slab and its edges being
filled into the SIDES of the, vault, the
whole level surface was covered with a
liquid body of Roman cement. The
corpse was deposited under three dis
charges of eleven pieces of Artillery,
and the minute guns Of the Vigo, which
were heard in the intervals between the
discharges, moaning in the distance

filled up with stone, and plain Hat
slab laid over it.

The body of Buonaparte, with the
consent of Bertrand and Montholon,
was laid in state for the view of the in
habitants of St. Helena, for short time.
1t was dressed in his green uniform, with
red tacings, and with all his stars and
orders. 1t was not true that he died in
a military uniform.

Buonaparte's grave was about IA
feet deep, very wide at the top, but the
lower part chambered to receive the
coffin. One large stone covered the
whole of the chamber. The remaining
space was filed up with solid masonry,
clamped with iron. Thus every pre-
caution is taken to prevent the removal
of the body ; and believe it has been
full as much by the desire of the French
commissions, as from the wish of the
government of the island. The spot
had been previously consecrated by his
Priest. The body of Buonaparte is en-
lead and oak HIS a1..,-. itch: BeTr-
trand and Montholon earnestly desired

We take the liberty to publish tire
following extract from the private letter
of. a respectable. gentleman in George
town, ID. CO. to one of the editors of
this paper, dated August Sd, instant.
81 have Just learned that the widow
of the murdered William Seaver depart
ed this life a few days ago. She died of
grief. From the moment she saw the
mangled corpse of her beloved husband,
sorrow took full possession of her soul,
and her countenance assumed the air of
fixed melancholy. Her grief was too
great for utterance. She wept not: her
sorrow was dumb.
-s &C She stood,
Pierced by severe amazement, hating life,
Speeches. and fix'd in all the death of wo.n
'She neglected herself, and her little
infant was unnoticed-the fountain from
which il drew its nourishment no longer
yielded its wholesome supplies sorrow
: had poisoned it. The little Innocent
emphatlcally sucked sorrow from its
mothers breast-it pinned away and died
How great must be that grief which can
thus extinguish the feelings of maternal
tenderness, and totally supplant those
cares and affections which rule so pow,
erfully in the bosom of mother! Such
was the case of this unfortunate lady.
Her sorrow produced an oblivion of all
things, save the image of her murdered
husband. Her fearless eye rolled in
restless agony, for the balmy slumbers
of peace were afrighted away. Her
heaving bosom betrayed the unuttera-
bic emotions of her soul sinking beneath
the burden of its calamity. The medi-
cal gentlemen were deeply interested Cor
her, and spared no exertions to Danish
ner gruvrI, ana to Irstvrr ner 10 trar-
quility. Their weIl-meant efforts were
of no avail I; for, incapable longer of
sustaining her burthen of grief, she sunk
beneath it."
Thus this accursed last of gold, at one
blow, has deprived three human beings
OF their existence The Nervousness OF
the action needs no comment Their
murderers are not yet brought to pun
ishment but they cannot escape,

The case of Soo-nong-gise, other.
wise called Tommy Jenny, a Seneca
Indian, was argued at, the bar of the SUI
Preme Court, on Tuesday and Wednes-
day OF the present week. This Indian
was indicted at late Court of oyer and
termlner, in the County of Erie, for the
murder Of an Indian woman. Bv hjs
counsel he pleaded to the jurisdiction of
the Court, that the Seneca nation Of
Indians was sovereign and indie pendent
nation, exercising exclusive jurisdiction
OF all offences committed by one of that
nation upon any other of the same ma
ton, within the territory belonging to
them; and that the prisoner, as well as
the person killed, were persons belong
ing to the Seneca nation; and the Of
fence, if any, was committed within the
territory. To this plea, replication
was hled in the Court below, DENYING
the allegations of the plea. and an is
sue OF fact was joined, which was tried
by jury, who found for the prisoner

verdict of the jury. The argument
was opened on Tuesday, by Mr.. j C.
Spencer, in behalf of the people. He
was followed by Mr.. Oakley, in behalf
OF the prisoner; and on Tuesday and
Wednesday, Mr.. Talcott, the Attorney
General, replied. On the part of the
people it was contended, that the jury
had undertaken to find differences Of
law, rather than fact; that the max
I'm which declared juries judges of the
law, as well as the fact in criminal ca
SEES, applied only to those cases where
the merits had been put in issue bya
general plea of not guilty. That, there
fore, the Court were not bound by the
finding of the jury to admit the conclu-
slons of law contained in their verdict.
That the facts set forth in the verdict
did not establish the sovereignty of the
Senecas; and that from treaties, laws
and publick documents, " appeared a.
