A Foul MURDER.-From the 10

A Foul MURDER.-From the 10
cal column Of the Daily Delta, of the
9th inst, we take the following ac-
count of murder perpetrated that
day, on the steamer w. N. Sherman
A murder of the foulest kind was
this morning perpetrated on board the
steamer w. N. Sherman, by two deck
hands named James Broderick and
James Casey, upon the person of a
Young man named Adolphe Dulhagan,
also deck hand. He was stabbed
twice in the abdomen by Broderick,
and while being conveyed to the hos
pital expired in the cab. His body
was then conveyed to the Second Dis
trict police station. where the Coroner
is now engaged in holding an inquest.
The two accused murderers were
arrested on the spot-the k1 ife. with
which the bloody deed was commit
ted being found in the possession of
Broderick. still covered with blood. Il
Ii is said that quarrel arose between
Casey and the deceased, while the
three were seated at the breakfast Ia
bic on the lower deck of the boat i
Casey, after some words with Dulha-
gan arose from the table and made to-
wards him with the intention of strik- |
i'g him. Dulhagau said "Casey, |
you are not able to fight with me-"
whereupon Broderick jumped up, and
saying he was able, rushed upon the
deceased with sharp pointed sheath
knife in his hand, and with the Tquick-
ness of thought, before he could be
prevented, plunged it twice into the
breast and abdomen of the victim.-
The internal hemorrage caused his
death, Casey and Broderick are both
natives of Ireland, middle-aged men,
and hard looking customers. The
murdered man is about 10 years of
age, long, fair hair, and light COM
plexion. He was native Of Cincin-
natl, Ohio, where his father resides,
and, we understand, is very wealthy,
being proprietor of an extensive livery
stable.
The son had run away from home
some tyears since for some cause un-
known, and had finally found himself
reduced to the necessity of seeking
employment as deck hand on board
a steamer. As his body lay exposed
in the yard of the Second District po-
ice Jail, and while DR. Sabatier was
lin making the post mortem
the murderer and his
were looking down from
he window of their cell on the scene
below, apparently with hellish delight
it seemed to give them great pleas
Ire. 90
The killing and stabbing season
seems to have regularly set in. This
morning We published four cases--and
low. we have added another--and
hat fatal one.

I The ADVANCE IN SuGAR.-The
rise in sugar since January, accord
ing TO the New York Post, has been
SO per cent, and this owing not SO
much to the diminished supply, which
only applies to New Orleans descrip-
tons, Cubas being plentiful, but to
the great increase of demand through
out the country for consumption and
stock. The unfavourable harvest of
1854 led to great contraction in the
grocery business. as well as in The dry
goods; and dealers work down their
stock to the lowest point possible, col
lections of debts being bad. credit was
diminished. The Post adds:
As the money market improved
from the opening of the year, and col
iecting of debts was successfully made
credit improved, and the absence Of
stocks throughout the country led to
more enlarged demand and when
it became NANTES that the harvest,
would prove of the most bountiful
character, and collections improving
the reduced Indebtedness favouring
this--credit further improved, and
dealers throughout the country began
to buy very literally. This has gone
on until it has arrived at the present
active state of the market. Specula.
tors came in atthe latrer period. Messrs
Stuart, Robert & Williams, and others
bought in Cuba all the sugar they,
could get, and the trade being in the
hands of only two or three large CAPT.
talsts the trade was niggarlly supplied
in proportion to the demand and prices
have become now exorbitant. Grocery
papers has therefore become abundant
on the market, and is freely discount
ed, as It is a favourable class Of pa
pers.

Commentator, Percival, from certain
quarters look suspicious; but there is
no danger to be apprehended in this
instance, as your character as Dem.

Times.
When one of Mr.. Mason's "pener-
al Intelligence +" mistrusts; il is time
for others who know less than he
knows. to doubt also we have author
ity to doubt now, ourselves. What
has heretofore been surmised, begins to
wear the aspect Of reality. Percival
will do we'll to say how it is, in his
next letter to the Advocate; that a
Know Nothing editor has coarfeously
noticed him? There is a form of
puff for the editor, who visits the sane
tum of confrere Of different poll
tics; that cannot be mistaken. Il is
the patronizing style; and differs es.
sentially from the style Of puff for a
coufrere Of the same political persua.
sion. There is consequently some
thing eliminating in this dark insinu-
alton Of the 7ames-something that
should be Immediately explained
Either the Know Nothing editor who
notices Percival, complementary-if
not hatteringly, is not Know Moth
ing or Percival is. We hope to be
enlightened on this subject, before we
explode in ignorance. It will be too
late afterwards.

From Camp Harvey.

The following epistle was received
yesterday morning at nine minutes
past ten:
@ Dear Sir AS you are now
fairly before the good people of the
parish, and expecteto treat or be trea-
ted, &c, please accept, small bun
die of my segars-some that was left
from the establishment of your friend,
back in the Country. GoLlAH.
The segars" have weight but not
age. We shonld not like ourself to
"puff" them. They are undoubted-
ly "republicans.' As they are Of
native groath, and domestic manafac-
ture, they cannot be objected to, by
the party, aud we shall pass them
round. On the right side of an cleo
pioneering coat, they will serve to bal
ance the miniature demijohn, out of
which all the spirits, if not much Of
the patriotism of the age-hows. -
Shall lay some of them by, to '~y.

smoke the calumet of peace, when
