in numbers as well as enthusiasm. Advices
from Melbourne complain Of the great distress

learn that the League" is distinguished by nc

and white-fringed," and by increasing hostility
to the transportation of conyicts to the colonies.
The Examiner complains of decline in the
population of Launceston district. Notwith
standing the accessions by births, convicts'
wives and families, pensioners, and prisoners,
the population is fast declining contrasted with
neighboring settlements, the retrogression is
rapid indeed. This advance backward" can
only be attributed to one cause.-The continu

SHOCKING MURDER OF DoY BY A Dof--hl
Richmond, Va, on Sunday morning, Richard A..
Thomas, an apprentice in the Office of the Daily
Dispatch, aged about sepenisen years, killed
by William Cudlipp, aged about. Eileen, under (as
the Dispatch says) the following circumstances:
OnSaturday night, at the theatre, Cudlipp drop'd
from the second tier an egg upon Thomas, who
sat in the pit. On Sunday morning they met on
Third street, near Broad, when alteration took
place about this offence No blows were struck,
but Cudlipp ran to his home. Thomas and his
young companion walked down Broad street about
a square west Of Cudlipp's, and stopped. In a
little while young Cudlipps mother, little sister,
and himself came up to them, and Mrs. c., con-
sderably excited, addressed herself to Thomas
on the subject of the difficulty with her son. The
son took part in the alteration, which was finally
suddenly broken off by his plunging dagger into
the breast Of Thomas The weapon struck just
below the breast bone, and penetrated several
inches. Thomas, aware that he badly woun
ded hurried with his friend to his boarding house,
about two squares off-he reached it., but tainted
az he was going up the steps. He died in few
minutes.
Young Thomas was one Of the most gentle kind
and inoffensiye boys we have ever known.
Cudlipp had not been arrested last night. 1t
was ascertained, however, that he had taken DR..
Cunnnghams horse from rack and fed to the
country. He thus adds the crime of horse steal
ing to that Of murder.
The Richmon Times says that Cudlipp is an.
tive of Baltimore, his pareI.ts having in the last
