The Government Of Mexico, wishing To

with the castle was prohibited, and several

Horrid Muraer.-The following isan extract
af letter from Dir. Peleg Carse, to his friend.
The act was committed on Monday noon in the
town OF Coventry, near the Arkwrght village.
II was yesterday called TO witness one of
the most horrid sights | ever beheid. A half
past IL o'clock, vas requested to 20 to Rich
mond Remington, by one Of his sons, 10 great
taste, lie said his father had killed his mother
and hinlselt. | repaired immediately TO the
house about quarter Of mile of, and on en-
tering the house, found Mrs. Remington lying
ON the floor with her face downward, and CO.
vcred with blood discovered depression
on the back part OF her head, and found upon
examination, her skull broken in--thefe were
no signs of life remaining. About four feet
from her, was her husband sitting IN a chair
with his chin resting upon his breast covered
with blood. ! raised up his head and baheld
the fatal stab on the left side Of the wiad;ipe
Immediately over the carotid, or large artery
Of the neck, which have no doubt was divided.
A court of inquest was held, which returned
verdict of wilful murder by Remington on his
wife, and suicide on himself.
