Onihr mex, morning, (Snnday) gentleman
visited .>eaborn IN jail and told HIN of the dscov-
cry of this memorandum, and IS supposed conncc-
ton with the IRE, agreeing as II did with VI
SmiH S recollection of certain sums IN his posses
sion on TINT i'll ated evening. THIS interview re-
suited in confession on tie par, OF the prisoner in
| which he denied any knowledge OF. or partcipn-
ton in, the A1Son, bu admitted that While the Fire
was raging, negro nun, whom he named came
II him, and having extorted promise Of secrecy,
delivered 10 him II sum of money, saying he might
have the whole with the exception of t5n. That
| he had, In compliance with his engagement CON
,eslsd the money in 4 secure place, which he then
described. On gonr To the SPOT designated, about
three miles from town, where the prisoner had been
nj work, the package Was easily discovered The
sum thus obtained, together with what the lris~lci
had spa,t since the fire core spends with the MON
| orandln found upon hun aud copied aboy'. VI
| Smaf had IN his Store nearly $1,000 but 1t IS moi
! probable that more of II was taken than has been
found rs II was deposited IN different parts Of the
Store, and in unusual places, known perhaps only
to the Proprietor
In consequence of the declarations Of the prison.
er negro HARaY, the property of NJ. Smith, was
! Immediately arrested, and committed for exanna
! ton.
On Monday morning .Sc45orns examination
took place. and we have rarely witnessed more in
tense interest than was excited on the OCCASION
every part ofthe eo9ri holise being crowded The
Attorney General attended in person and conducted
| The examination, which being closed, the prisoner
was fully committed for trial nj the ensuing term O
our superior court ON charge of Robbery ano
| Arson
Negro Hurry was then examined, bu, the evi-
donoe beine deemed insufficient to justify his COM
mltmcnr, lie was discharged on the recognjzancc OF
/ his owner.
/ We have endeayorcd IN this notice to avoid as
much as possible going into the testimony of wit
nesses, as the whole matter will hereafter undergo
a regular judicial investigation.
The prisoner is a young man ofrespectablc ap-
pearancc, rather good person. and has been in this
city aud vicinity since June last in the capacity OF
ahriek-maker He is, we understand from Cum
bertrand county.

ATROCIOUS MURDER IN NEW BURY
PORT

A gentleman who left Newburyport yes
terday afternoon, informs us that on Friday
afternoon at half past a o'clock, Mr.. Henry
Psge, saddler, was found dead in his shop, in
liberty street, in the immediate vicinity of
Market square. Two wounds had been in
ficted, the 6rst in the upper part Of bis right
breast, which appeared 10 have caused al.
most instant death; the other in the abdomen,
when the knife struck against the back bone,
and bent the knife, which was found about
six feet from him. The knife was one Mr.. P.
used al his trade.
The first person who discovered tho mur-
dercd man, was a Mr.. Stsnwood, q sadder,
who formerly worked with Page, who ran
and called somo blacksmiths, in great trepi-
dation, saying that Page wanted them, and
that he was lying down and had fit or the
like. Those who came in, turned Mr.. r. O
yer, and found the cause Of his death. Stan.
wood was at first suspected, and examined,
but soon liberated.
The first coroner's inquest was composed d
of persons who collected on the alarm, and
without stripping the body, gave verdict OF
s'death by means unknown" But on Satvr.
day morning jury Of very respectable citi.
zens was formed, who returned q verdict oi
murder by persons unknown" Physicians
who testified before the jury, declared tha,
from the appearance Of the wound. it could
not have been given by Mr.. Page himself.
a man named Herrick. by trade a painter,
said to belong to Salem. who formerly worked
in the building over Mr. P's shop, but who
was IN Newburyport on q visit, has been or.
rested. He was seen to 90 into the shop a.
bout half an hour before the murder was dis.
covered, and was the last person seen to 20
in previous 10 the murder. We do not learn
on what other grounds he was arrested.
Dir. Page was an inoffensivc man, bore a
respectable character, and has leil a wife and
number Of children.
The Affair, as might be expected, created
great excitement in Newburyport. as much
from the Circumstance Of Mr.. P's respectable.
ity. as that the murder was done at midday
near the most public and frcquented part o.
the town, where FIVE hundred persons mus,
have been within . few rods or tho place.

" 10 oher a reward, and take other measures

Daring Murder.-On the night ofFr-
day, the 9th inst. man by the name OF
Johnson, in the town Of old Franklin,
Howard County, was shot while asleep
in bed with his wife and child. In the
dead hour ofthe night his wife was awak-
ened and found her husband struggling
in the agonies Of death, and the bed
clothes on fire. The shot was dscharg-
cd through u window of the room in
which they slept. Much excitement pre-
vailed in the town and vicinity, but we
have not heard That any clue has yet been
found by which to trace the murderer.
The wife and child were not injured.-S.

n nep hfck.-Last evening, genteel-
ly dressed sharper called at grocery
near the junction Of William and Duane
streets, and ordered three bottles Divine
to be sent into the residence ofa respecta-
BILE ncighbor, well known at the store as
one of its customers. The fellow, being
in hurry, wished to pay for the wine,
and gave a ten-dollar note, which the
shopkeeper Immediately exchanged-all
suspicion being lulled by the supposed
destination of the liquor--and the pur-
chaser walked off with seven good dol
lars clear gain. Not yet entirely satis-
fed, however, no awaited in front of the
house named in William street, and soon
received the wine also, from the boy sent
to deliver it. But instead of taking it
into the house, he put the bottles in his
pockets, and trudged off in another di-
rectiou, with the intent doubtless to en-
JOY the spoils at his leisure. 1t was soon
discovered that the ten,dollar bill was
spurious but the wine had evaporated,
the money had taken to itself wings, and
the scoundrcl--is not yet in BridewcIl.-
