PARRIciDE.-We learn from the Ravenswood
Chronicle that a father ind son by the name Of Be-
bee, in jackson county, had an alteration, when
the son beat the father with club 30 ms to cause
his death. The old man was buried without any
regard TO the circumstances attending his death.
short time after the burial the neighbors became
excited upon the subject; the body was disinterred
and il was found that the old mans skull had been
fractnred--and other evidences that his death was
caused BY the beating inflicted BY his son.

Louis Kossuth year ago transmitted a memo
rial to President Pierce inquirng whether the
United States, in the event of revolutionary con-
test in Hungary and Italy, American ships will be
permitted under the laws of the United States, to
clear for ports in the possession of the insurgents
And whether such shins will be exempt from search
or seizure on the high seas by Austrian vessels oil
war? He now publishes the memorial in the New
York Times, and complains that the President re-
turned no answers to his inquiries. Had he done
so we think the American people would have had
just ground for complaint.
