Nothing has yet been ascertaned, which
can give lhe least clue TO the perpelrdtor or
perpetrators OF the late dreadful assassmal ion
IN this town. The excitement and alarm which
th is shocking event produced in orr comnuni-
~, was never eqused by any thing within
our remembrance 4; and We learn that tue ex.
element in Boston and many other places, on
receiving the news ofth tragical isansaction,
was scarcely less intense than that which pre-
vailed here.
A meeting Of the citizens Of Salem wns held
al the Town Hall on Friday evening lasf, TO
adopt such measures as. might he, judged ex
pedent IN relation TO the murder Although
but slight notice ofthe meeting was gwen.
The Hall was crowded at On early hour. and
il was undoubtedly the largest assembly OF
citizens ever witnessed in Salem. Stephen c
Phillips Esq was Chairman, and Jonathan p.
Saunders, Esq. Secretary. Resolution were
reported by committee appointed for the
purpose, and UNANIMOUSLY adopted, expressive
Of the horror and indignation of the citizens
at the outrage perpeirated in our usually quiet
town and proposing various judcious measures
for aIding 10 the detection OF the assassin secur.
ing the town against danger from the midnight
assassin, and plunderer, aud allaymg the ex-
citemenI and fears the inhabitants. State
menis OF the circumstances attending the per-
PeHaiIon OF the crime, the examination of the
wounds, &c. were made at the meeting, from
which we learnta few particulars in addition
10 the siainmeni IN our last paper.
On second examination OF the body by the
physicians, thirteen stahs were found evidently
aimed AT the heart, some OF which were given
with such force as to break three Of The ribs.
Sic of the stahs actually reached The heart but
were not sufficiently deep to penetrate the cavi.
~. The physician who made the statement
was decidedly Of opinion, that twO different
in'trupsenis were employed TO inf let these stabs,
and consequently inferred, that more than one
person was engaged 10 the murder. He was
likewise of opinion thai the assassins must
have been aided by light, so sure were the
aims OF the weapons, directly towards the
heart, from dfferen, points Of the surface Of
the body. The blow upon the head, he thought
must have been given with tremendous force,
by some heavy instrument. possibly loaded
cane, but more probably The back o. Ratchet

Conjecture is of course busy in assigning
motives for this dsboIieal act. and IN account
ing for the manner 10 which the assassins en-
tered the house. II il believed by many, that
there could have been no Other o'lJect than

From the NeC York american. hprH II.
The rapIdity with which the arrivals from
Europe succeed each other, leaves little room
for editorial speculation on events ; for before
an opinion or an anticipation can be recorded
a still shorter passage comes to refute or con.
firm il. The Charlemagne arrived Yesterday
in l6 days from Sicily. and % from Havre,
an the Hudson made an equally short passage
from Deal To-day we have the Josephine
from Belfast in sixteen days from port 10 po,t,
for she was of the Hook, as we learn on Mon
day, aud she actually brings a Liverpool paper
OF the 18th, only - days old now for the
use of which, and some Belfast papers, we are
indebted 10 the Courier. Except as TO the mar
ket for cotton, and the list of arrivals, there is
not much OF interest added by these papers TO
our previous inlor mation.
All eyes. now, will naturally be turned to
France. The situation of the Ministry, and.
perhaps, Of the ruling dynasty of that nation.
is a perilous one. The propagation of the LIE.
gisIative bodies-if the Press be left unshac
kled--wi only add~fuel 10 the aame already
kindled and in September thew will re-unite
more exasperated than ever, against the Po-
lignac cabinet. From several articles in the
Ministerial papers for our French files came
TO hand last evening after the paper was out,
we infer that some calculation is made Of IN
