DEATH OF HUGH MILLER.-Hugh Miller the
eminent writer geology, was found dead in his
bed the floor of his bedroom, at his residence in
Edinburgh, shot through the heart. For some
time past he had been ia the habit of having a
loaded revolver in his room, an attempt having
been made lately to break into his museum. 1t is
believed that the circumstance of his death was
accidental, his general character and position pre-
cluding the idea of suicide.
The deceased was nearly SO years of age. He
was born at Cromarty, in Scotland, of humble pa
rentage and for fifteen years worked in quarry,
as a common laborer. employing his leisure mo-
ments in acquiring all the information from books
or observation, which was possible under the cir
cumstances The nature of his occupation pro-
baby, induced taste for geological researches, to
which of late years he has almost exclusively de
voted himself; but his first literary attempts were
in another direction. Having received the posi-
ton of accountant in bank established in his na
tive town, he found more leisure for reading and
study, and published in 1853 his first work. Scenes
and Legends in the North of Scotland" which has
been extensively read in this country.

EAECuTIoN OF THE WoULD-BE MURDERER
OF THE KING OF NAPLEs.-The Naples CORES
pondent of the Daily Neacs gives interesting par
tculars relative to the execution of Melauo. who
attempted the Kings life:
Melsno was accompanied by double e Ia Of the
Chasseurs, body of mounted gendarmes, and The
Bianchi, with the cross covered with black at the
head OF the cortegs After he had been blinded he
ehaeaVorsd 70 look from beneath the bandage upon
the people, and while throwing back his head
for this purpose bis shake fell of, and was not re-
paced.
The scatfoid WAS erected in the midst of the Pr
azza Cavacatojo, which was lined with detach
ments OF troops from every corps in the garrison;
and outside as well as upon the houses a vas,
crowd had assembled. Whilst he was being taken
round in car, be continually prayed, kissed the
eruci6x, and exclaimed, "Tica la Religione,T
"F{rd Ia Liberia :" "Yird la Pafrin ~ as no d;S
even whilst mounting to the scBffold.
The Particulars of the execution are as disgusting
as can well be conceived. A ladder rested against
the cross beamup which the criminal as compelled
TO mount. IL took full five minutes to adjust the
rope, As soon as this F~as done, the body was
turned of the ladder, and the executioner mount
ed on the mans shoulders and beat the head from
side to side with his fists whilst he looked around
upon the officials as though seeking for approba
ton. This disgusting scene naturally produced a
great impression on the crowd, some of whom faiD-
ted and the cry of "fui, fu," began to be raised;
but the soldiers turned round, and all was again
sill A gendarme pointed out the executioner to
a friend of mine, when the tragedy was over, say
ing "There-that is the fellow. My son nearly
tainted he could not stand it,"
The executoner has been put under arrest, but
the wonder is that the authorities themselves did
not interfere to put stop to such brutalities
There was general expectation of pardon
down to the last and when the man was swung of
there general murmur of compassion among
the crowd. These people feel rather than reasop
and their expression is anything but favorable or
pleasant tow ards the Government.
Great numbers of people have beeE 10 the pa
lace TO congratulate the King, but the fact proves
nothing in this country, where safety is best pur
chased by an appearance of loyalty, and where
official employment. is the only career open to the
youth of Naples Enthusiasm there has been none
nor has there been anything like the expression OF
attachment 10 the King His majesty yesterday
went TO the church OF 81. Januarius to return
thanks for his recent wonderful deliverance, but
most of the balconies were closed, few people
were present. and not ''UiCa" was raised nor has
there been 'uirG' heard on any previous occa-
sion, SO far as can gather, since the attempt was
made.
