FURTHER PARTICULARS. The Bos-
ton Evening Gazette of Saturday gives
the following additional particulars
Mr.. White, with his antiquatcd no.
tions, has been for many years known
to be in constant habit of ofkeeping a large
sum of money by him in his bed cham
ber. No doubt every robber has had
this money in his minds eye for many
years-and must have been the fatal
lure that cost him his life. If, acciden-
tally, the robbers have not got so much
plunder,it it is because, on going to his farm
last spring, Mr.. White sent to the Mcr-
chants Bank, keg of specie, believed
to be full Of gold, which it had been his
habit to keep in his bed chamber, and
which has ever since remained upon spc-
cial deposit in that bank 1t is not as
ccrained that the robbers took nothing.
1t appeared in evidence, at the Coroner's
Inquest, that Mr.. White stated to a MEM
Der of his family, about three weeks ago,
that he had 1000 dollars in specie in his
house-and yet the only specie now
found there, is between thirty and forty
doubloons.
He retired to bed on Thursday night
soon after 8 o'clock. 1t was the opinion
of the physicians at the opening of the
body, that two different persons stabbed
the decd. A copy of the imprint ofthe
murdercr's foot may be seem at Mer-
chants Hall, Boston, and may help lead
to detection of the villainy.

THE SToRM.-Our papers are filled
with the most melancholy accounts ofthe
disastrous effects Of the late storm, which
in the country, west Of the Allegheny,
seems to have ragged with violence un-
precedented in that region. The gale
took place about the vernal equinox. In
Urbana, Ohio, ,on Monday afternoon, 22d
March, six or seven houses, and two
Churches were blown to pieces, several
lives lost, and many individuals badly
wounded. In Washington Co. Penn.
(west ofthe Allegheny the same scene
of devastation was witncssed-the course
of the tornado being from North west to
south cast, and sweeping destructively
about half mile in width through Pc
ter's township. Several lives were lost,
and many houses and barns destroyed.
In general the tornado is supposed to
have swept over the highly cultivated
parts of Washington, Westmorcland, and
Allegheny, penn. and to have spread
its destruction into the neighboring coun-
ties and the State Of Virginia.

Mr.. CLAY.-This distinguished citi-
zen Of the West, our readers are aware,
has been lately on a journey of business
to New-Orleans. He left that city for
Natchcz on the 9th March, on his re-
turn home. The Cincinnati papers give
some account of his departure from New
Orleans, and of his arrival at Natchez.
When he had embarked, and "thc boat
left the port at New Orleans, the levee
and tops of the steamboats,, great num-
ber of which were in port, exhibited
crowded and almost unbroken mass of
spectators, and the elevation of flags and
the roar of cannon which burst from the
whole crowd Of surrounding vessels, to-
gether with the repeated acclamatiOns of
the people as the boat moved off, taken
altogether, presented one of the most
cheering and animating spectacles pos
sible to behold" AT Natchez, persons
"from 100 miles round" were waiting to
meet him. The press of the crowd into
the Caledonia steam boat threatened Sc
rious iniury'-and the mass collected on
the wharf was SO dense, that much time
and eXertion was required to make way
through it. On the 18th he attended a
Ball given to him by the citizens Of the
county and city. On the 18th he par
took of a public dinner, of which a cor
respondent at Natchcz gives us the fol-
lowing account, in a hasty letter written
the same evening:
MIR. CLAY must be highly gratifed at
his reception in this city. do not eX-
aggerate in saying that the collection of
people, mt the entertainments from which

usually held in the western States i'm or

to the toast in honor Of Mr. CLAY, an adj

that filed every breast with enthusiasm,

TEMrERANcE.-A meeting Of the citi-
zens of Newport having been convened
at the State-Housc in this town, Thurs
day evening last, to take into considers
ton the propricty of establishing a soci
city for the promotion ofTemperance, the
following preamble and resolution was a.
dopted, after free and somewhat dcsul-
tory discussion of the object Of the meet
ing.
"Whercas the inhabitants of this town
for the last forty years, have been grad
nally and steadily improving in habits of
economy and temperance, especially in
abstaining from the excessive use of spi-
rituous liquors, and in the opinion of this
meeting are not exceeded by any COM
munity of equal numbers in this country
for habits of sobriety; due regard for
the evils of intemperance having been
exercised by the most influential of our
fellow citizens, who, for many years have
exerted themselves as individuals, to di-.
minish the use of spirituous liquors as far
as their influence afforded them oppor-
tunity; and at this time but few of our
fellow citizens are addicted to habits of
intoxication. Societies for the further
ance of public objects, in our opinion,
ought not to be resorted to but in cases
of extreme necessity, which we do not
conceive exists among us at the present
time. A self-created public inquisition,
or censorship, is not congenial with the
spirit of our free institutions, nor with the
liberal and tolerant views of the people
of Newport. 1t is recommended, how
ever, to our fellow citizens, to continue
their individual labors as heretofore, by
example, persuasion, and admonition, to
promote temperance, without ostentation
or parade.
Therefore voted and resolved, That it
Is not expedient to establish a Tempe
rance Society in this town, at this time.

.4trocious Murder Several hand
bills were received in this city from Sa-
lem, yesterday forenoon, signed by
"Stephen White, for the heirs of the
deceased, setting forth that on Tuesday
night, Joseph White, Esq. was murder
ed in his bed, in his house in Essex street,
Salem, and offering reward of $1,000
for the conviction of the perpetrator or
perpetrators.
We have received the following letter
from our attentive correspondent the ed
itor of the Essex Register.
Salem, April I.
Dear Si-An assassination of almost
unexampled atrocity took place in this
town in the course of the last night
Joseph White Esq. one of our most aged
and opulent citizens, in the eighty-sec-
ond year of his age, was murdered in
his bed, by some unknown person, who
entered the lower part of his house at
one ofthe back windows, and committed
the horrid deed by first striking him on
the head with some heavy instrument,
and then infiicting ten s'obs near He heart
with dirk or kniie-cithcr of which in
juries would have occasioncd DEATH
There were but two persons in the house
besides MIR. White ; these were domcs-
tics and slept in distant apartments,
and heard nothing ofthe assassin. The
first discovery was made at about 6
o'clock this morning, when the young
man who resides in the family, on get
ting up perceived window open, and
suspecting the house TO have been enter
ed by robbers went to apprize the old gem
tlcman, and found him dead, and his
clothes and the bedding drenched in
blood The sensation created in town
by this most atrocious deed surpasscs
any thing ! have ever Witnessed here.
The whole population were amazed and
horror stricken. There is no way Of ac-
counting for the act-nothing was stolen
from the house although there was mon
ey and other valuable property in the
room where Mr.. w. slept. The heirs
have offered "A reward of $1,000, and the
Sclcctmen $500 in addition, for the de-
lection of the murderer.
