MOST AWFUL MURDERS!

On Saturday morning, the t7th instant, man
named John IIaggerty, living in South Queen
street, in this city, committed series of murders
unparalleled in the annals of our Commonwealth.
Between and 10 o'clock, after shooting horse
in the street near his door, he went into the gun
smith shop-ncar his ownresidenco-ofM Mr.. Mel
choir Fordncy, an old and highly esteemed man;
what took place, we could not ascertain, but boy,
a son of Mr.. Fordnoy, gave the alarm that his
father mothor and sister had been murdered by
Haggerty. On going into the room, we wit
messed one of the most horrd spectacleS magma
bic. Just inside the front door Of the shop lay
the old man, with his brains battered out. At
his side, but with her head towards the back door,
lay the wife, with her brains battered out; and
near her, lay her child, four or five years old,
with its skull broken and the brains oozing there
from!
Fordncy and his wife, it seemed, had been
killed Instantly. The liulo boy stated in sub
stance, that Haggerty got at his father with an
axe, and while he was killing him, his mother
ran in to interfere, when he turned upon her and
killed her, and then struck the child on the head
with an axe. The child only lived few hours

An overland mail and an additional express
had arrived at London, bringing dates from Bonn
boy to Aug. 81, Calcutta to Aug. 8, and CHINA
ITO July q.
The accounts from British India, and the mn
monse country which is destined to tall INTO inc
hands of the British, sooner or later, are as con-
fused as such accounts run through British Chan
ncls, can be. We learn that the Sikh govern
ment was in a totterng state, and troubled with in.
testine war; that Scinde was tranquil that Sir
Charles Napier was about to retire, his health be-
ing seriously affected and that Dost Mahomed of
Cabool had been operated upon by afghan, Per-
sian and Russian intrigues, TO nlist in another
plot against the innocent and noffensiye British,
but that the scheme had failed.
In Calcutta the money market was easy with
out any particular change, and business general
lyremained as before reported.
On the 8lh Of July some English merchants
and other foreigners came into collision with the
popuacc at Canton, and were driven into the fac
tories, They fired upon the Chinese, killing
four and woundng twelve. 1t does not appear
that any but the Chinese were injured. The au'
thoritcs on both sides had taken up the matter.
