HORRIBLE MURDER IN MISSISSIPPI "A
Memphis, paper gives the following parlicu-
lars of the murder Of Il Mr.. Watkins by three
Of his negroes:
We have just received the particulars Of
one of the most horrible tragedies it has ever
been our duty to chronicle. 1t seems that
three of the negroes of Mr.. John ID. Wat
kins, who resided in the eastern part Of De-
Soto county, and near the line of Marshall.
and not far from Byhaa, in the latter coun-
ty, formed design, last week, Of numbering
their master on his return from this city,
where he was then absent on business. They
expected him 10 return home in the night of
Thursday last, and intended to way-lay him
before he reached the Ionsc and effect their
hellish purpose. Contrary to their cXpcc'a-
tions, Mr. w. arrived letorc nightiall, and
thus momcn'arially thwarcd the infamous
plot. On Friday morning. however, on his
going out to clearing where they were at
work, they attacked him with axes, breaking
his skull at every stroke, and causing instant
death. After prrpc,r,ting the horrid deed.
they frlIcd Il tree across the dead body. and
reported that their master had been acriden-
tally killed by its Falling. lhcy also OnllL
brush fire over ihc spot where the murder
was committed, in order to consume the
blood which flowed from his wounds. But
before the intrrmrnt of the body the suspi-
rions of the community were aroused, and.
on examination, ii WAS found that the wounds
had been inflicted wiIhan axe. The negroes,
two men and one woman, were arrested. and,
on being questioned, confessed tho whole
story OF their diabolical guilt as above rra-
ted. On Sunday evening following, the en-
aSpcrated citizens met together aud mctcd
out 10 the two men that swift relrbulion
which passion, not reason. dictates, and
which so atrociuns crime only could pal
late, hardly Justify. They were taken to
the place of the murder and hung TO the
nearest tree. The woman (who assisted in
burning GU: the CORY traces of the foul dccd)
was only saved from a like f:a'e by the fact
that she w;ls caceMe.

KossUTH IN THE WEsT.-On reference to
the movements of Kossuth, it will be seen
that the Western people are perfectly up
roarious with excitement. At the festival of
the Hungarian Society at Columbus, Ohio,
resolution was passed enjoining Congress
to declare that this country would hereafter
Interfere in any war where despots under
took TO crush people who were struggling
for freedom. Money still continues to pour
into the Hungarian fund, and the Magyar
will soon be rich enough to retire to some
other field. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
he will expend portion of the funds he has
raised, in relieving the wants of his dis
tressed fellow conntrymcn who are now
wandering over the country, without yictuals
or raimcnt.-N. Y. Herald.

Iatcr from Europe.

The United States mail steamship Pacific
arrived at New York on Thursday evening at
five o'clock, from Liverpool, which port she
left on the 2S!h ult.
THE MAEKETs.-In Liverpool Cotton llad
advanced an eighth of penny and was in
good demand. The sales on Saturday. the
oath ult., comprised 5000 bales, on Monday,
the 2Gth, 10000. on Tuesday The 9th, 49,
600. and on Wednesday The 2Sh ult., 10000.
making 4 total of $4,000 bales, of which
spectators took 5000, and exporters 5000.
The quotations for Fair New Orleans were
5 lid, and Nidding 4 rs; Fair Upland Sd,
and Middling 3-4d.
McHcnry's Circular of the 9th ult., says
that the demand for Cotton since the sailing
of the Europa on the cath ult., had increased,
and that the sales for the three days amount
cd to 1000 bales. 10000 of which were ta-
ken by exporters and spectators. Prices had
advanced barely an eighth of penny. The
exports were of qualities below Nliddling.
The Circular further says that the advices of
the reduced crop and the gradual upward
movement in prices in America, had brought
about much more hopeful feeling, which
induced many to think that if no cause should
exist to produce decline in the exports from
America. there would be mnch less reason
to apprchcnd any decline taking place in the
demand in Liverpool, inasmuch as the Man
chester manufacturers were well supplied
with orders at rcmuncrating prices. Flonr
had advanced sixpence. Corn was dull at
the last quotations. Consols closed at 96 II.
EyGLAxD.-The latest intelligence, rccciv-
cd at Liverpool by telegraph, from London,
on the morning of the sailing Of the Pacific,
stated that report WAS quite crrrcnt in that
city that Napoleon intended to invade Eng
land, and that The Government had ordered
thirty thousand stand Of arms from Eirming-
ham, and sent for twenty-five thousand troops
to London. The Daily News Of that city
also SAYS that orders had been sent to recall,
with all possible dispatch, 10 the Coast Of
England, the three principal ships Of war
stationed in the Tagus.
The steamship City Of Glasgow had re-
turned to Glasgow, having been unable to
proceed on her voyage to philadelphia, in
consequence Of having been disabled in Il
storm.
