au0t tuCy WOMlu MAS tUBStMCES 0uu on w Gu~ nesday last, apprehensions that they would make attempts upon their owH lives be- gan tC be seriously. entortained; and d guard was placed in the room with them, to prevent any improper conduct. They were, however, in possession of bottle of laudanum, and on Thursday night, took each large dose--so largo tliat.it opera ted as Gn emetic; and failed to pFoducethe effect which they expected. @''7.
 |. In the course of the forenoon yesterday, they told the guards that, as his last hour was approaching, they wished fey min- nteS private conversation, and begged the guard to retire. The request seemed reas- onable, and the guards retired. They presently heard some noise, and returning, found that Mrs. Beauchamp had been stab- bed in the left breast, with.a butcher knife and Beauchamp had inflicted some wounds upon himself; not Sh0wever either mortal or dangerous. Mrs: Beauchamp's wound was mortal; she lived but an hour or two. So perished Ann Beauchamp, one E0f the most unfortunate of women. @
 Whether she died by her own hand. or by, that of her husband, we have uot been able to ascertain with certainty. 1t is said his account was, that she herself inflicted the wound, and that when he attempted to stab himself she caught his arm and pre-s vented him from doing it effectually.
 Mrs. BeauchaInp was removed to room of the Jailors house. A reverend gentle- man, who was present, speaks of the dying scene, as one of the most touching he had ever witnessed. She was anxious to see her husband. He was brought in. She had become speeches., perhaps insensible. He was placed at her bedE Eside upon the bed. He placed one hand upon her fore- head-with the other held her pulse until she expired. Then. Farewell" l," said he, " farewell, child of sorrow IF Farewell, child of persecution and dmisfortune !-For thee ! have lived, f,r thee I die !e' Twice he embraced her, and was then removed.
 Death of Dssha.-A letter from gen. tlemanain Millentown, Kentucky, to gen. tleman in Philadelphia, after giving the particulars oftlie death and burial of 3eau- champ and his wife Jan account of which is given in this paper) mentions the death of Desha as follows; a, .oeYx > But you will ask me where is 3hat ruth less villain that prostratcd the poor Baker 2 Is he feasting on ice-creams, mince pies, &c. &c. know not what answer to make you, but one thing. is very certain ,--that he has cut his throat from ear to ear. His windpipe is cut entirely in two, pieces, and yesterday, immediately after he committed the act, the surgeon of the town sewed it up--but at sun down he was near smoaher. ing when they again opened it, and the news has just come that he is dead. Of the authenticity of the statement | have no doubt. After the surgeon had entered the jail, when he was first discovered; he ob. served to Desha fhat his moments were but few, and. the better way would be to make confession. Desha pointed to a piece of paper besprinkled with blood, upon which was written, '" Innocent of the chargessa alledged against. me. .''-The sur. geon requested him to affix to it his sigma ture, which he did. This is the current report here to-day, and I have no hesita- ton in believing it true, with the exception of that part whichFelates to his confession. It would require stronger proof than words even of dying man, to make me believe that any other person than Isaac B. Desha murdered Francis Baker," -.

 Swiss Emigrdnts.-A party of Swiss emigrants (6S in number) men, women and children, arrived here on Sunday last, in one of the tow boats from New York, on their way to Ohio, via the Erie Canal. They left hero yesterday. The costume and singular appearance of these children of the country of William Tell excited universal attention. So i'll informed were they of the state of society here, though they knew it to be a land of liberty, that they actually brought out their wagons and other farming utensils that they might not be delayed in their agricultural. opera tions when they should arrive at the place of their destination. ~' t""'' ''
 Green County Bank.--We are under the disagreeable necessity of announcing that the Green County Bank stopped pay- ment on Monday last. It is generally un- derstood its embarrassments are owing to. the misapplication of its funds by the agent of the bank in New.York. ltis but jus tics to tho directors to say, that they are making every exertion to save what they can for the benefit of those who hold its notes.--CGtskiH Recorder.
