Foul MURDER. "A friend writing us from Eliza
beth City under the 10th says: " This morning be-
tween and O'Clock William Charles, Esq, in going
to his farm County, (Pasquotank) was shot dead, at
place called the Pear Tree Burial Ground, not quite
mile from this town. Mr.. Charles prominent
and influential citizen, and represented this County
in the House of Commons in 1886. The perpetrator
OF this cold blooded murder has not yet been discov-
ered indeed, MIR Charles was SO universally belIked
that suspicion does not rest any person. The as
sassin il is supposed, secreted during the entire
night in the thick under growth of the Burial Ground
and as this peaceable and inofensive man was re-
turning home III his buggy, committed the diabocal
deed placing fourteen buck-shot in mis- left breast,
near his heart Money could not have instigated
the murder, as his pocketbook and watch were left
untouched Mr. Charles leaves wife, several children,
and many relatives and friends to mourn his loss
Much excitement prevails in the community on ac-
count of this shocking deed ."-Raleigh Standad

From the New York Post of Monday.
New York Merchants he VlnClIcn ted from the
Charge of fitting ont RMssIaA PrIvnteers.


Charge of fitting out Russian PrIvnteers.
At one O'Clock this afternoon, special meeting of
the New York Chamber of Commerce was held at
the Merchants Bank, in Wall street, MIR. P. Perit
presiding.
The chairman stated that the meeting had been
called at the written request of five members, and at
The verbal request of numerous other members of
the Chamber for the purpose OF taking measures to
investigate the circumstances attending the seizure
Of the bark Maury, and to disabuse the public mind
of the idea that any New York merchants of such
respectable standing as the owners of that vessel
would engage in fitting out privaeers to prey upon
the commerce of Great Britain and France-nations
with whom at peace.
MIR. Moses H. Grinnel offered a resolution, which,
after some debate as to its TERMS was finally amend
ed and unanimously adopted as follows:
Whereas, 1t appears from Information derived from
reliable sources, that the representation made TO the
| British Government, respecting the bark Maury,
which seized at this port in October last,
picon of being fitted privateer TO cruise under
the Russian flag is stated 10 be Of the causes Of
ordering the British feet 10 the West India station,
and led to the recent high excitement in England,
and
owners of that vessel, and this commercial commun-
ty should be relieved from the mputation thus
| lessv thrown upon them
Resolved, That committee be appointed to inquire
into the facts connected with the seizure of the ship
! Maury, and report the same at subsequent meet.
| ing of the Chamber.
| During the debate, MIR. James Lee expressed de-
sire that extended statement of the motives of
| the action of the Chamber should accompany the
resolution.
Mr.. Grinnell said the facts were toerably well
known 10 the public, and there could be no doubt
that the course of the British Consul in the Maury
matter had been most unj ust and uncalled for.
Mr.. John A Stevens said he informed by Q
gentleman who out from England by the last
steamer, that when MI Buchanan called upon the
Earl of Clarendon to ask why such important rein.
forcemens had been sent The West India station,
he was met by the statement that the bark Maury
was being fitted out privateer; and he thought
it due to the owners that they should be relieved
from such an odious charge.
/ On motion it resolved that the committee OF
inquiry should consist of ten and that the President
of the Chamber should appoint them. Mr. Peril
then appointed the following named gentlemen as
such committee:
Moses H. Griunell Thomas Tileston,
George Griswold, R. C. Goodhue,
Charles H. Marshall, Royal Phelps,
John A. St-vens, James Lee.
Stewart Brown, E. E. Morgan.
On motion, Mr.. Peri was added to the COMMITTEES
and the Chamber then adjourned.
