passage from New York, on Friday night last
Joseph Floutin, formerly of this city, but of late,
residing principally in West Stockbridge, came on
board the boat at New York, evidently labsring
under alteration of mind. During the evening"
he became quite noisy, and fancied that every one
he saw wanted to hurt him. At last he went aft,
and jumped over the rail of the boat, holding on
by one hand, and began to shout In such manner
as to disturb the passengers. After remaining in
tins position for some time, the captain called,
who went, with two or three OF the hands, to get
him forward. The captain told him to 60 with
him-that no one would touch him; but paying no
attention to it, the captain told the men to bring
him in; They seized him, and, In the scuffle which
ensued, he struck Robert Scott, of this city, of
the deck hands, with sharp knife, in the neck,
the blade entering the neck just above the collar
bone, severng several veins and arteries and kill
ing him almost instantly. On Sunday night, Alex
aLder Hubbard, Elijah Miner, and one or two
others from this city, started in pursuit. and arrest
ed HIM at the house OF George |. Finkle, in Tagh-
kanic, and he was committed TO Jail early yester-
day morning. Hudson (N. ~ Gazette, OCT. 30.

TIM STORM or MONDAY AT PHLADELrHA.-
Last evening. most violent storm passed over this
