Suspected Murder.-Yesterday morning

SUSPECTED Murder. -Y yesterday morning
the body of a young man was found in the
Canal, near the "Points," in this city-hav-
ing evidently been there for some time. 1t
was recognized as that of William Donnclly,
an Irishman by birth, aged about 25, well
known in this city, and VINO had been miss.
ed for some weeks.
Marks of violence were apparent on
his person--the lower jaw on the left
side was broken. and the skull was frac.ur-
ed, as would have been produced by heavy
blow.
Upon the inquest, held by w. A. Car
penter, ESQ.,, Coroner, woman from the
"Points" testified, that about half past one
O'Clock, OH the night after the Caroline was
burned, while going to bed up stairs, she
saw Donelly pass below, from her window,
and then heard loud whispering from two
men on the front steps, who said they would
swatch him"-soon afterwards she heard
blows, and cry of "Oh don't!"--then a
noise as if something was dragged towards
the Canal. She alarmed Capt. Stanley,
near al hand, who corroborates her story,
and who next day advised her 10 go before
the Police Justice and SAFE the facts. She
declined moving in the matter herself, al d
the affair seems to have been passed over
in the excitement prevailing at the time
The adsenck of Donnelly was easily &C.
counted for, as he had been preparing to
Join the Navy islanders, during the after
noon of the day on which he disappeared.
He had watch and some money a.
bout him, when he was last seen, which
were not found on his body. lie has left a
family.

course pursued by the Hon. John S. Bar.
ry. our Senator, in relation to the quail.
fcation of witnesses, and deprecate the
course pursued by v. l.. Bradford, in re-
lation to the same. We think we can clear
ly foresee sectarian principle, which we dc
earnestly entreat our legislators to suppress
and put down by all lawful and honorable
means.
Resolved, That our representatives be
instructed 10 use their efforts TO prevent the
passage of any law that shall render any
person incompetent as witness IN cour
Of justice, solely on account of his opinion:
or belief in matters of religion.

had received.
Two members Of the committee, in COM
pany with three or four OF the most res
pcciable citizens of Maiden, went down up.
on the ice, to the place where Sutherland
and Spencer were taken prisoners. One
of the persons who accompanied them, was
present at the time they were taken, and
another saw the whole affair short distance
from where it occurred. Taking il for
granted, that the place which was pointed
kout, was actually the place where they
were taken, land that it was the place there
is no reason TO doubt,) from the cxamina-
ton that could be made, and from the rela-
tive position of different points upon each
shore, the members Of the committee who
made the examination are satisfied, that
Sutherland and Spencer were captured and
taken in British waters, and consequently
within the jurisdiction Of the Canadian Co.
vernment.
All of which is most respectfully SUBJ
m;led.
