THE CINCINNATI MURDER.-The murder of Muir.
ray, mulatto, by the girl Clay has created great
excitement in Cincinnati and much sympathy is felt
for the murderess. Murray, the gay Lothario was
a journeyman barber, tall, welLmade fellow. by
whose arts the young mulatto girl was seduced
from her home in Madison, and prevailed upon to
urged him to marry her, but he always insisted up
on postponing the ceremony little longer, until,
regardless of his first love-" he marred another
woman. The girl, on being taken to prison. gave
up pistol, and said she had shot Murray, but was
sorry she had killed him. II is somewhat singular
that no one saw the girl Clay shoot the deceased,
and that the pistol wc5 not seen until she gave
it up to those who had her in custody. Her own
confession is the only positive evidence against her.
THE SHIP HAsKAwAY-The Charleston Con.
rer ofthe 9th, states that the Harkaway, with her
valuable cargo, was attached ON Wednesday last by

The cause of this crisis is not yet known, but
it was foreseen at Madrid. 1t is said the Queen
was dissatisfied with the Cabinet the weakness OF
which was pointed out to her. General Lersundi
and his colleagues could neither succeed in setting
aside or solving several serious questions and the
Queen wished TO put an end to such state OF
things.
The Winchester Republican states that during
the rain ofWednesday evening last quite num-
Der of little shells, measuring from half an inch to
an inch and over, fell in that place and vicinity
Handsful were picked up in some places by the
curious. The Republican suggests that as there

might have been taken up from the shores of that
lake and brought to Winchester. Before venturing
an opinion on the subject, shall await the deci-
sion ofthe learned philosophers the day.
