Horr,d Attempt at Murder.-A most horrid attempt
al murder was made last aight in City Hail Place,
near DaanesHeet The particulars us near as we
cou,a learn them, were these A negro, named Dam
lei unih't came home late in the evening, and had
some quarrel with his wife, about two dollars in
ney, winch, he averred, she had concealed from HIM
lie woman denied all knowledge of the money at
which, he lbelng inoxlcatedl became enraged, drew
iong sheath knlie, and plunged II In her SIDE The
khiie entered the side near the shoulder blade, and
perforated the lungs and vitals The unfortunate
woman fell senseless, and in that state conveyed
10 NE Hospital. The murderer fled in the direction
OF Fear-stfeet. He was, however. pursued and over
taken, and lodged IN the wach-louse. An lnvesti-
able to learn further particulars At late hour last
night the woman was living but without any appa-
rent possibility OF surviving.-C0urier.
The National Gazette, CONNIE nting uponthe Presi-
dents Message, says: " 1t appears 10 " that the
President, in the views which he expresses Of bank
ing, had he not known that the plain truth would be
fatal to the policy ofs administration, might in very
few words have stated the fact that all the troubles
over which he groans began with the violent and le
removal OF the deposites Of the United States Bank,
and that the premium upon the creation oflocal nst
buttons by that act, and the superadded incentives to
unbounded speculation flowing from it, were the true
cause Of every difficulty; the corrupting influence
which has, in the course Of a few years made the
frauds of public servants far greater in amount than
during the terms Of the six first Presidents"
Some OF 1he tory papers almost claim the new
Speaker man Of their faith. If he be sowhy did
they vote against him2 We may expect them soon
