A RUM-SELLER INDICTED FOR
 MANSLAUGHTER. a

rum-sel!er in New Bedford, as we learn from the Mercury, by the name of John Rritnell. lately furnished one of his victims with brandy until he fell sen>eless to the door The helpless man was then dragged into cellar, where he was laid near win dow with neither sash nor shutter, the ther- mome,er being at l7 degrees, and cold water poured upon him. He was then taken from the cellar, with no signs of life about him except breathing, and the rum-seller wish ing to close his shop for the night, he was left in an oute: room, lying on his face with his head a0tfEin fourteen in:heS of c red hot stoUe. On that same spot he was found in the morning dead, He had not stirred The Jury of inquest returned the following verdict:
 "That Phillip G. Simmons came to his death by congestion of the brain, caused by the excessive use of brandy, and subsequent exposure to the cold, and of the head to ex- treme heat, upon the premises of John Brit nell, of whom ihe brandy was obtained, and through whose recklesSness the exposure took place. J. E. CoNGDoN, Foreman" Britnell was arrested on Thursday, last and held to bail in the sum of $lO00, on a charge of manslaughfe,.
 We learn from Col Hatch. that the sen, sation created in New Bedford by the event above recorded, is extensive and deep. A Town Meeting was called immediately which was held on Saturday, and unani- mou'ly attended. A vote was passed, ap. pointing large committee to take immedi- ate and energetic measures to suppress the 1 illegal traffic in intoxicating drinks, which was represented as greatly on the increase and constantly causing much suffering and crime, beside that which was so horribly exhibited to the public in the case of pool Simmons !-Bost.

 ere has been another horrible butcherv
 he Nestorians. A letter from Cons.an- 'eshople of the 9th ult., gives some particu- lars of the horrid affair which took place a month previous. The cause is said 10 nave been an intigue commenced by the Porte with the Nestoriaus for the pur- pose of deposing Beder Han Bey, whose power excited jealousy at Constant nople; but he hearing of what was intend ed, determined to strike the first blow and exterminate the Nestorians, and swore by M Mahomet that he would not leave one alive. He sent large body of Kurds into their country, and knowing that they would meet with no resistance, he divided them in bands of fifties aud hundreds, and sent them in various directions to fall upon the de- fencelesS Nestorian villages, of which they attached and destroyed thirty-six, and put all the inhabitants to the sword, who did not escape. Men, women, and children were put to death by every species of torture that cruelty could invent. Some had their bow els ripped open-others were impaled, cnd mothers were obliged to witness the cruel torture of their children and then to perish | themselves It is estimated that at the low, est calculation, three thousand Nestorians in the massacre. In the large vii. ] age of Bias two Bishops were impaled, and from this place were sent three hundred heads (rickled) to the Pasha of Mousroul, with an insulting message. Bands of Nes- torans fled towards Persia, and it was fear. sd that they would perish in the mounts of Kurdistan, It was believed that the Porte had determined on pnhishing this Chief tain, but it was thought he might be too powerful, He has party of Sacks in Con. stan'nople, who rejoice at the destruc- ton of the Nestorians.
