PAPERS, ARRIVED TIHIJ MORNIEG. TRINIDAD, JUNE 15. Yesterday morning one of the most diabolical acts of murder was perpetrated in this island. About seven o'clock, a private of the Sd West India Regiment, named Rata : went to the house of a free black woman, about 100 yards from the new burying-ground, at Lapeyrouze, with whom he had previously had some difference, and, without any provocation on her part, stabbed her twice with a sharp knife. As the wretch inflicted the wounds) the woman ran out of the house, pursued by her assailant for a short distance, when he returned again, and found the daughter of the said woman, who that instant entered It; he immediately assaulted her with the same knife, andwounded her severely in the arm: after a scuffle she succeedtd in making her escape. A coloured woman) who endeavoured to prevent his attempt at murder, after the first alarm was given, received a wound from him, which prevented her giving any further assistance. After having committed this sanguinary outrage, the monster, with a savage ferocity, rushed into an inner room where two infants, one about four, and the other 16 months old, were asleep, seized both and cut their entrails out, immediately after which he seized a dog and kilted it. Armed with the bloodstained knife in one hand and a pistol in the other, the inhuman wretch placed himself in the middle of the road, and threatened to be the death of any one that should attempt to approach to take him : however, one Serjeant Cox, of the same Regiment, who was passing by, and hearing histhreats, madea bold attempt upon the assassin, who discharged the pistol at him, but missing his mark, thrust his knife into the Serjeant's arm, which did not, however, discourage him, and he finally succeeded in taking him, having stunned him by a blow. At this time the Chief of the Police, who had received information of what had occurred, arrived, and committed the murderer to jail, and had the infants, who were not quite dead, carried to the Military Hospital. They were accompanied by their mother and sister. We tiara that both the infants are since dead.  The funeral of the late Right Hon. Sir SAMUEL ADCHMUTY, Commander of his Majesty'!
