DEATH OF CAPT. M'LELLAN.

Capt. Simon MIelland, Of The Schr. Mary,
Of Warren, r |. died yesterday morning from
the effects Of the wounds inflicted on his head
by the william or Williams who assailed and
robbed him on Thursday night. He never re,
covered his reason sufficiently to give any &C
count Of the transaction. A Coroner's Inques,
was held over The body yesterday, and the per-
'ons he was las, in company with and those
who found him in the morning examined; but
nothing of consequence was elected in addition
10 what we stated on Saturday. He left ves-
sci he had been on board Of at Rockets abou,
7 o'clock on Thursday evening to return to his
own, in the Dock. He was quite sober, and
had $40 or $50, and watch with him. Next
morning he was found, as we before described,
in boat at the Locks, between the vessel he
left and his own, speeches. and senseless, with
large cut on his brow as If inflicted with an
axe, and another on the side Of his head, and a
severe confusion on one eye. His money and
watch were gone. His hat was found at low
water in the river with bricks in il.
Our city IS at present infested by gang Of
most daring Williams I, is unsafe for person
TO walk the streets alone at night; and bolts,
bars, and the watch, are insufficient to protect
property. Besides the cases, we noticed on
Saturday, of persons being knocked down and
robbed, we have TO add those of the Clerk Of
the Steamer Norfolk, and Mr.. Raphael, on
their way from the steamer to this city. The
one was attacked near where Capt. M'Lelland
was; the other at the head Of Rockets, near the
Old Presbyterian Church. They were both
knocked senseless, severely injured, and rob-
bed. On Tuesday night two houses were brok.
