An ATTEMPT TO KILL.--INFERNAL MA
cHINE.-Last night about half-past eight
O'Clock, at Gloucester city, New jersey, an
attempt was made upon the life of H. F.
West, ESQ., Superintendent of the Washing
ton Company's Cotton Mill. Some coward
ly scoundrel had fastened a looped pistol in
~ frame work and hung it upon the gate
post in front of Mr.. Vests residence, and SO
arranged it that the opening of the gate
would fire off the pistol, with an aim at the
heart of the person who might spring the
trap. 1t so happened that two ladies'
mother and daughter, passed in instead of
Mr.. West The daughter stopped to push
the gate open, and as it opened the pistol
went off the ball passing just across the
back of her head, and lodging in the oppo-
site gate post The ball past also Immediate
ly in front of her mother, and the powder
flashed in her face and scorched it. This is
the fourth attempt of the kind, and as yet
there is no clue to the perpetrator. An eff
fort, however, will be made to identify the
villain. Mr.. West is a most estimable
gentleman, and universally respected

The Hon. John j. Crittenden, of Ken
lucky, was waited upon yesterday by del
egation from the Whig General Committee,
and presented with an address from that
body, and the AShlanders Association
Senator Crittenden made, in reply, an elo-
quent address, declining their request that
he would permit himself to be placed at
the head of a party movement, declaring
that he was not candidate for the Presi-
dency, and that he intended hereafter to act
not in obedience to a party, but in accord
ance with his own convictions of the public
good. He paid high compliments to the
spirit of the old wing party; lamented the
political degeneracy of the day, and t0ted
the country might yet witness a return of
the tone and temper of the olden times In
the course of his remarks he eulogised
Henry Clay, and reviewed the course of the
present Administration.
