LORD NAPIER.-The subjoined paragraph from r..
Washington correspondent of the Richmond Eu-
quirer relates to matters of some interest which
have been circulating in the papers, and, as the
writer refers to authority which cannot be doubt.
ed, We give his rectication of the rumors alluded
to:
81 Lord Napier is daily receiving hundreds of ap-
plicatoDs from hundreds of American citizens, all
asking employment in the British army In India -
His lordship requests me to say that his gov. rn-
ment has resolved to employ no foreign troops
whatever in India, but to quell the insurrection by
the force OF her own arms. Lord Napier also de-
MES the report that he had issued orders for the ar
rest OF filibusters by the British squadron in the
Gulf Of Mexico. He says he has no authority for
Issuing any such ORDER nor if he had the power had
he done so. The story is wholly untrne."
MURDER IN ALABANA.--we learn from the Mobile
Tribune that on Thursday or Friday of week before
last, most horrid murder perpetrated on the
body of Mr.. Richard Z. Stewart, planter of Sum
ter county, Ala. He had been missing for several
days, and RS no account could be given OF his alb
seace, search was instituted for his body, when
from the suspicious conduct of one of Mr. SIS ne.
groes, he was taken up, and confessed the murder
aud showed where the body of his master was bu.
red. The body was deposited in a hole in the corn
held, and In hauling In the corn, the wagon had
been run over the spot frequently, to oblterate all
traces OF the grave. Ten of the negroes are impi-
Gated IN the murder, together with the oyerseer
all OF whom are now in Jail in Livingston. Five of
the negroes confess the murder and implcate the
overseer, saying they killed him about midnight
with malet then hauled him off in the wagon
and buried him.
