ROBBERY AND ATTEMPrAT MURDER.-We
learn that a gentleman, CHR. Paine ofBos-
ton,) who is now staying atthe United States
Hotel, was knocked down and robbed of his
pocker-book, containing $4,000. yesterday
morning, about one o'clock, no. lar from the
Glass house, Washington city. The gentle
man was on his way from the Observatory
when he was attacked and robbed One of
the villains fired pistol at the gentle
man, the ball ofwhich glanced on the gen.
tleman's forehead. This daring and sue
cesslul robbery has caused, as may be natur-
ally supposed, great excitement in this me-
tropolis.-NationOt LnteLhigencer.
SHOCKING MURDERs.-Onth the 25th ult the
bodies Of three persons-two women and one
man, were found in fiat boat, about ten
miles above Matches, in such condition as
to leave no doubt of their having been muir
dered with an axe 1t appears that the boat
was, occupied by the man as a trading boat,
and that he had nearly disposed of his stock
of goods or cargo. The murderer is sup
posed TO have been a man employed by
the owner of the boat at Vicksbursh,
but having some difficulty he was discharged,
and afterwards came on board, committed
the horrid act, and fired the beat-iu hope, no
doubt, OF consuming at once the evidence of
his atrority and his victims; but being dis
covered in time, and the fire subdued, the bod
les were found with their heads mashed, an
axe near bore the evidence of having been the
instrument of death.

The Luminary, in the course of long well
written article on the condition and prospects
of the colonies, makes loud complaint of the
course pursued towards them by the CON-
manders ofBritish vessels and the British gov
eminent itself. The former are said to man.
ifest settled disposition toinfringe, to cypress
and tantalZe; the tariff regulations olthe col
oniai government have been Systematically
violated, anGits very right to make them has
been denied, on the prelence that the colonies
we're but private associations, without politi-
cal rights; and an English captain had in
formed the collector at Monrovia that Lord
Aberdeen had forbidden English vessels to pay
duties.
The Luminary fears in all this a determin-
ed purpose on the part of England TO OBJ
tain possession of the colonies, or bring them
under her dominion.
There is long letter from A. +. Russell,
a missionary, giving an account of bis Quincy
to Mount Andrew, where he and MIR. Kenne-
dy went TO re-establish missionary station
which had been abandoned. They were
kindly and warmely received-fourteen boys
were at once placed under their charge for in

Use they were much pleased,
The war between the Crahways and Half
Cavallys, near Cape Palmas, was still going
on as late as the LIST of March, but no very
serious engagement had taken place since the
battle Of February %, in which ihiry-ihree
were killed on both sides and about fifty
wounded. The Half Cavallys were the vic
tors. The Luminary says

for some two or three years established among
the yet conquering tribe, will not probably

unless that tribe should be overpowered, in
which event its towns will probably be fired,
and the mission premises, situated in one of
them, will be consumed in the conhagration.

to each other, it is pleasant TO learn that the
missionaries land we Judge the colonists too)
