ATTEMPT AT MURDER.-h most singu-
lar and atlrocious crime was perpetrated on
Monday evening. Charles Scott, a color
ed man, about thirty years of age, barber
by trade, called in the morning at the
clothing store of John ii. Springer, at the
corner of .Haynarket and North Main
streets, selected a suit Of clothes, and said
that he would call for them with tho mo-
ney. AT 6 o'clock in the evening he came,
just as Mr. Springer was closing his store.
and said that he would take the clothes.-
Air. Springer went back and lighted the
store, when Scott demanded his money,
and being refused,sprung upon him, knock
ed him down, and cut his throat with ra-
zor. lie also cut his head and face. The
ncighbors, alarmed by the noise, came lin,
when Scott rushed out, and, although close
ly pursu'd, made his escape. Mr. Spring
er's wounds, though severe, will not prove
fatal. Scott had not been arrested last eve-
ming. Tho Board Of Alderman have offer
ed a reward Of $500 for the apprehension
of Scott.-Pror. Jour.

TIE PILGRIM FATHERS.-This is n
Cantata recently composed by Prof Root
The poetry is by the noted blind poetess,
Miss Crosby.
The object OF the Cantata is to set forth
by means of poetry and music the scenes
through which the Pilgrims passed. 1t
commences with their suiierings in Europe;
after depicting their voyage across the
ocean, it describes their wars with the Indi.
ans, and the settlement Of peace. 1t closes
by magnificent Grand Chorus.
BY reference to another column it will BE-
seen that if sufficient encouragement is Of.
fered, DIR. Wood proposes to put the Cdntata
into rehearsal This is most excellent
opport unity for those somewhat advane, d,
to enjoy this valuable practice. We hope
the enterprise will succeed, and that before
long Newport audience may have the
privilege of listening TO this and other Can
tatas and Oratorios, brought out by y wpori

IHw an English Lady Obtaineda Hus-
bdnd-A gentleman of the bar, in easy
circumstances and pretty good practice,
had rendered himself somewhat remarkable
by his rttemptsin the way OF matrimonial
speculation. A maiden, rather advanced IN
years, residing some miles distant, hearing
of This lawyers specuIaiing propensity, that
his character was uncXceptionable, and
his situation in life toerably good, resolved
upon making him her husband. She hit
upon the following exp'dicnt She pre-
tended suddenly TO be taken very i'll, and
sent for The nan of the law to prepare her
VIII. lie attended for that purpcse. BY
her will she devised 10000 in bank stock
to be di, ided among her three cousins, some
thousands in bonds and notes to a niece,
and a vast landed estate to a favorte nephew
The will being finished she gave her lawyer
very liberal fee, and enjoned secrecy up
on him for some pretended purpose, thus
prccludng him from an enquiry iuto her
real circumstances. Need | mention the
result : In fortnight the lady thought
proper to be again restored to health. Tho
lawyer called to congratulate her on her
restoralon-bcgged permission to visit her,
which was politely given. After a short
courtahip, the desired offer vas made. The
bargain was concluded, and ratified by the
priest. The lawyers whole estate by his
wife consists OF an annuity of sixiy-fiyo do.-
lars.

DEATH OF LocRHART.-One item of in
telligence brought by the Pacific is tho
death OF John Gibson Lockhart, by paraly-
sis, on the Oath Of November, at Abbotts-
ford. His health had been feeble for two
or three years past, and, like his llustrious
father-in-law, he had sought to recruit it
by travelling on the continent. Like Sir
Walter Scott he only returned home to
die.
Mr.. Lockhart is the son of Scottish
clergyman of old family. He was educat-
ed for the profession of law, and became an
advocate, but soon relngushed its unre-
munsrating tolls for the more genial walks
OF literary life. lie was an early contribu-
tor 10 Backwood's Magazine, and "Peter's
Letters to His KinsfoIk," were soon pub
lshed by him in an authoritative volume
lie afterwards travelled in Germany, and
upon his return, was introduced to Scott
by James Hogg, at Sir Walters request
The result of the acquaintance was that
Lockhart married the daughter Of the great
poet and novelist.
In 1925 when Clifford retired from the
edi'orship of the Quarterly Review, Lock-
hart succeeded him, which post he filled
with great ability, though never with popu-
larity, until within the past few years, when
he gave it up in consequence OF declining
health. Lockhart has written a great deal,
many of his published works being stand
ards Of classic taste. His best known pub
lcations were "Lile of Burns" "Memoirs
of Sir Walter Scott" "Valerius, Roman
Story" Reginald Dalton" adam Blair"
"Passages in the Life of Gilbert Earle
aud some beautiful transations of Spanish
ballads. Lockhart was in politics very
High Tory, aud personally unpopular. His
wife and son, the latter the only male rep
rescntativc Of Sir Walter Sbott's family,
have died within the past two years.
