THE FOURTH IN CINcINNATI.--Owing to
detention a, lronton, we were unable To spend
the Fourth in Cincinnai; but we learned
from those who were more fortunate, that
the day was celebrated in handsome style.
The procession was said 10 have been the
larges, and most imposing ever known in
that city; and tho display Of works in the
evening oxcclled all former exhibitions of
tho kind. AS nigh, have boen expected,
many accidents, fights and fires occurred
--more than is usual. however, on such oc.
casions. One fight, between some Ameri.
cans and Irish, resulted in the death Of one
Irishman, and probably morc--lwo others
being badly wounded. The fight, we under.
stand, grew out Of quarrel about tho Bcdni
rio,--.he Irish becoming so highly excited
as TO uuompt to tear down an American flag.
The particulars Of the fight arc YET involved
in mystery. Several persons were arrested;
bu, for want Of sufficient evidence against
,hom, were discharged. The affair was
much talked about in Cincinnati, bur we
could no. learn anything definite or salts

FIRST DISTRICT COURT.

TRIAL FOR ARsoN.--Wm. E. Roberts was
placed on trial before this court yesterday, under
an indictment for arson, in setting fire to his
grocery store on the corner Of Jackson and
Franklin streets, on the night Of the 2lst of
February last The evidence, although entirely
circumstantial, was quite conclusive. He had
effected an insurance of $4,000 upon the store
and stock few days previous in the Tennessee
Marine and Fire Insurance Company, and it was
to obtain this money that he fired the building.
The case was submitted to the jury at about
five o'clock, who, after an absence Of nearly an
hour, returned a verdict Of s'Guilty, without
capital punishment -.

A MOST Foul AND HORRIBLE MuRDER.--Mrs.
McBrayer, wife of James MeBrayer, ESD, OF
Anderson county, Ky, was murdered few
nights ago, according to the Frankfort Yeoman,
under the following circumstances
After Mr. and Mrs. McBrayer had retired to
rest a man entered their room with an axe,
and, approaching the bed, passed his hand over
her face, in order to be sure of the right one,
which awoke her. Being satisfied that it was
her, he commenced cutting with his axe, first
striking her breast and arms in many places;
he then, with several strokes, severed one Of
her legs entirely off. Mr.. MeBrayer being
awakened by the noise, reached out his hand
to protect his wife, and received blow, QUITTING
his hand In two The incarnate fiend, think
ing he had killed her, commenced striking about
at random over the bed, with the hellish inten-
ton to kill their youngest child, who was in bed
with them, but not finding it, he went to the
lounge in the room where slept their other
child and aimed blow at its head, but only
cut the back of its neck. lie then went out,
leaving the bloody axe at the door. Mrs. Me.
Brayer had life enough left to tell who, as well
as she could see in the darkness, had committed
the horrible deed. From her statement her
steprson has been arrested and put in jail tt
await his trial
