last Wcek, an 1llsh OOy by the name OF
William Carroll about ID years of ago
was found dead upon the Railroad track
near the Car Factory. lie had an ugly
wound upon the head, his skull was frac-
turc1 aud one arm broken in other ros-
poets was not badly disfgured. II was at
first supposed that he was killed by the
night freight but it seems very strange
that a whole train Of cars could pass over
his body without mangling it in horrible
manner. The testimony before the cor
ontr, developed nothing as to the mode of
his death, although there are strong sus-
picious that he was the victim of some
sort of a row, and that his body was
placed upon the track, to divert public at
tention from the real authors of the crime

The news from Mexico is confused
and somewhat meagre, and we can only
gather from it that the reign of ANARCHY
is complete. A portion of the Spanish
feet had arrived, and had demanded an
immediate restitution Of the forced loans
from Spanish subjects, but subsequently
compromised matters. It is said that an
application has been made to our COVER.
