The particulars connected with this new ease, so far u they have yet transpired, are as follow :—A few weeks ago, a man of the name of Wm. Bain, employed as a tiasmith in a provision-curing establishment in Peterhead (a sea-port thirty-three miles north of Aberdeen), lost his situation there in consequence of his intemperate habits, he being, it appears, while a first-rate workman, often unfit for the proper discharge of his duty. The firm being busy the vacant place was immediately filled by another tradesman from Aberdeen, a young man, named James Grant. Against this individual Bain conceived a violent hatred, looking upon him as the cause of his being thrown out of employment; and his resentment, it seems, he by no means kept a secret, it being already ascertained that in his cups he hacl vowed to several of his chums In Aberdeen he would yet be revenged on Grant; indeed, his anger at his imagined wrong had become such on Monday week that he left the above city on that day with the expressed Intention, it is reported, of carrying his yengentle(' into effect. That he did no the sequel now but too fearfully confirms. From Aberdeen he was accompanied by another man, who travelled with him to the village of Ellon, 16 miles northward. Here they halted, and Bain, getting somewhat tipsy, made use of such violent threats against Grant that the companion became alarmed, and forthwith returned to Aberdeen on the Monday evening. Left alone, Bain passed the night in Elba, starting on Tuesday morning for Peterhead, which it is understood he reached about mid-day, when, without resting, he went directly to his old workshop, where Grant was employed, and, finding him, at once and without warning, beat his victim so furiously on the head with a stick—which, it is said, he had purchased for the purpose in Ellon—that the poor fellow fell down insensible before the infuriated man could be seized, and only survived his wounds till Thursday morning, when he expired—never having, it is said, been able to utter a word. Bain wax, of coarse, immediately on comm'tting the assault, handed over to the authorities, and now lies in the gaol of Peterhead to to await the consequences of his awful deed. He is a stout little man, aged about thirty, and, unfortunately for himself, does not bear the best of characters, he having at least stood twice at the the bar of the Aberdeen Police-Court—once for theft, and once on a charge of assault. Several persons in Aberdeen, to whom it is understood he had freely expressed his vengeful feelings towards Grant, have already been cited by the local Fiscal, with the view, it may be presumed, of leading proof Anah the fatal act was premeditated. Grant was twenty-three or twenty-four years of age, and it is lamentable to add, leaves a wife and two young children wholly unprovided for. He is, we understand, a native of Forres.—EdinOurgh Comm!.
