VIOLENT STORM AT THE SoUrH. We learn
from the Wilmington, N. c. Commercial, that
for the three days preceding Thursday last, a
violent gale of wind, accompanied with tor
rents of rain, prevailed in that vicinity, which
we presume accounts for the detention of the
mails South of that place, The Commercial
adds:
We have had no mails from the South for
three days, the Boats not being able to ride the
gale, which we doubt not, has extended the
whole length of the Southern coast. The
Mail Boat Wilmington, which left here on
Wednesday, returned back on Thursday morn
ing; Capt. Smith informs US, that it was impos-
sble for him to cross the Bar, the gale from the
N. E. being SO great, with the sea running
mountains high. The w. left again on Thurs
day afternoon, but we think she did not put to
sea before Friday morning, as it blew very fresh
most of Thursday night; she would likely lay
at the wharf at Smithsvllle.

SHOCKING DEATHS. A girl, named Eliza
beth Smith, aged II years, residing in Phila-
delphia, met with sad death last week, which
should prove a caution to Others. 1t appears
she found bottle in closet of the house con-
tanning wine as she supposed, but which prov
ed to be Vtrol, which she attempted to drink,
but it so burned her that she was compelled to
spit it out. She fingered in great agony for Sc
voral days, and died on Saturday. A painter,
in New York, named A. s. Saxton, met a ST.
milar death on Friday by taking a drink of
New England rum, in which corrosive sub
Innate was dissolved.

ATTEMPT OF HUSBAND TO NIL HIS WIFE
George Lacy, tailor living at Fettersville, N
}. opposite Philadelphia, made bold attempt
to kill his wife on Saturday. The Chronicle
says:
''Some few words had passed between them,
in consequence of Mrs. Lacy declaring her in
tention to leave him, because he could not or
would not, find means to support her. While
her back was towards him, he approached to
within short distance of her person, levelled
large pistol, and fired. The ball struck her
on the back of the neck, but luckily she had
on a thick silk shawl, and the missile hitting
her obliquely it did not penetrate the flesh but
inflicted a severe confused wound. The wretch
finding that his shot had not the murderous eff
feet he evidently intended, he commenced
charging the pistol again, bat suddenly, as if
conscience stricken, he dessted from his purpose,
took to his heels and made his escape. Mrs.
Lacy was brought to her relatives, in this city,
on Saturday afternoon, extremely i'll from the
effects of the wound, and the fright occasioned
by this viIlanous attempt upon her life. A
warrant has been issued for the arrest of Lacy,
and it is hoped he will be speedily taken, and
made to suffer for his crime.

A CRUEL AND REVOLVING MURDER. A
tiend named Waite is to be tried in few days
in Mississippi, for the murder of Thomas Shan
non, formerly of New Albany, Ind. The
Cincinnati Commercial relates the following
particulars of the murder
1.-The circumstances attending Mr.. Shan
mons murder have never been made public;
but the annals of crime cannot present more
cruel fate than he suffered. His family con-
nexions-a widowed mother residing in New
Albany, also brothers and sisters there, and in
JetfcrsonVllG and this city-are all highly re-
spectacle and we'll to live. Mr.. Shannon had
resided some two or three years in Mississippi,
in the 1azoo country, some sixty miles east OF
Helena, Ark. He had amassed considerable
property, and at the time of his murder he
had converted it into money, preparatory to
returning to New Albany, to comfort his moth
er IN her declining age, and settle down in his
birthplace. lie had been married to confid-
ing and interesting lady of Mississippi only two
months! On the day of his murder man lv-
ing in the neighborhood, (who had worked for
him. requested Mr.. Shannon, through third
person, TO call at his house on particular bust
ness; he did so, not dreaming of the foul intent
which he was so soon to encounter. He en-
tered this fiend's house unarmed; the door was
closed, and three men simultaneously, drew
their bowie knives on him! Finding himself
thus assailed, he clenched in with the ruflians,
Che was a man of great strength and throw
ing one against the other he kept them from
stabbing him vitality for three quarters Of
al hour; but at each turn he was cut and
hackeled by the weapons constantly aiming at
his heart. While this desperate struggle was
progressing, the alarm was given but too late,
before assistance came ono OF the villains sue
ceeded in severinr his hand from the arm, al
the wrist, when he could no longer resist sue
cesslully and fell fainting by oxertion, pain
from his numerous gashes, and loss of blood,
to the floor, where each plunged his knife into
his body, and all three fled Just as he fell,
Mrs. Shannon having heard the alarm at her
residence-came running terrified into the
room. Seeing the situation Of her husband,
she seated herself upon the floor, and drew his
head into her lap--while from his severed arm
and unnumbeEcd wounds the crimson gore was
streaming; wiping it from his mouth and eyes
she heard the dreadful particulars of his cruel
fate as life ebbed away. Shannon lived some
fifteen mlnutes-the anguish of those two
hearts during that time may be conectured,
but it never can be told.
