MURDER OF A womANIs NEW JrRsEy.-The

Her residence was one-story caofn, anu was
we'll known to persons in the habit OF travelling
the road.
II is generally believed the old lady was
murdered, and her cabin then set on fire. the
Coalings are near her residence, and those en-
ployed in them frequently went there to obtain
liquor, she being in the habit of keeping some
tor travellers. Several times, recently, upon
refusing it to persons who were intoxicated,
she has been severely beaten.
She was known to be in possession of some
money, end it is thought that the desire to gel
hold of it, in connection with the hatred exist
| ing against her, in refusing to supply the |
drunken brutes at the Coalings with liquor,
was the cause of her sad and terrible death
The ruins were examined, but only her skull
and some few of her bones were found. She
was about 50 years old. A night or two pre-
yious to the fire her hogs were poisoned aud
her horses throat was cut.
The CAPTURE AND EXECUTION OF THE DELHI
pRIYcEs.-An English provincial journal (the
| Ayrshire Expressly gives the following as an
extract from letter written by young officer
to his friends in England. The letter was dated
at Dugshale, place about forty miles from
Delhi, September 20:
A few days ago Captain Hodgson (of ours)
went out and captured the King, and brought
him in prisoner. He is at present confined
In his own palace. A few days later he went
out again, and came up with the Kings sons
and grandson. lie had only 100 motive horse
men with his own regiment with him, aud, the
enemy about 10, 000A3, 900 of whom were fully
armed Scpoys. Hodgson saw it was of no use
to attack them, so he seat an emissary to tell
the princes that the game was up with them, and
that they had better surrender, which they did
! after some time, and came up to Hodgson, who
immearetoi surrounded the carriage with his
men. He sent for their arms, and, after hesi-
tating some time, these were also given up,
with seven elephants and lots OF stores.
i'm reaching the jail, Hodgson ordered the
, princes out OF the vehicle; they, imagining
: all was not right for lhems.lyes, began (native-
like) to talk, and say they hoped there might
be an inquiry into their conduct. Hodgson
4 said "cheeproks," Che quiet,) and ordered
! them to tdko Oft all their fine clothes. When
L this was done, he said ssnow get in again" and
ordered the driver to proceed. He then beck
oned to one of his men and asked for a car
% bine; and with his own hand shot each and all
d three OF the princes. He then took their bod
ii les into the city, and laid them out for ipspec
is ton in front Of the kotasallie, where these
!. wretches had laid out their victims during the
u massacre!
