Fsiday evening last, about seven o'clock, the inhabitants of the village of Littleton Drew, Wiltshire, were thrown into a dreadful state of commotion, by a murder being committed in a house occupied by a man and his family of the name of Browne, where it appeared that he had lived for nine years, during which time be had paid his landlord only 61. towards the rent, the rent being 101. per annum. The landlord, after finding it impossible to obtain payment from his tenant, wished to get him out of his house, and said that if he, Browne, would pay one year's rent, he would forgive him the remainder of what was due; but Browne re• fused to accede ; his landlord then offered to forgive him the whole, if he would only quit the house; even this liberal offer he rejected. The landlord then took legal measures to eject him, and after proceedings were instituted, the constAble of the parish was called to as• sist the execution of the ejectment; the officer, knowing what sort of a man he had to deal with, considered it necessary to have assistance, arid took with him two men, named Shears and Thomas, when they entered the premises to take Browne and his family out. Brown met them with a dagger, with, which he stabbed Shears just below the hearr,from which wound he died in less than half an hour. Thomas was  likes ise stabbed in three different parts of his body.— Me.fical assistance was instantly brought to the sufferers, but Shears died before its arrival, and but little hopes are entertained of the recovery of Thomas.— Browne is in custody waiting the Coroner's Inquest.— Bath Journal, April 14.
