FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE  HORRIBLE MURDER IN JERSEY A great deal of painful excitement was caused yes terday in the island in consequence of the discovery o a most horrible and revolting murder which was corn, mitted in St. Saviour's-road, on the person of Mary Carleton, a pensioner's wife. The murder was not discovered until about eleven o'clock on Sunday morning. It appears that the husband of the deceased woman left his house about nine o'clock on Sunday morning, and locked the door after him, when some of the neighbours, finding that the house was not opened as usual, forced open the shutters of the lower room, where, horrible to relate, the unfortunate women was seen through the window lying upon her back, with her legs crossed, and weltering in her blood. An alarm was immediately given, and the woman's husband, upon whom suspicion seems to have fallen, and who, there is no reason to doubt, was the murderer, was arrested and lodged in gaol. It appears, from what we can learn up to the present time, that the unfortunate man and his deceased wife were in the habit of living in constant discord together, so that even had their next door neighbours heard any noise w pwaefal it would not have been noticed. It seems that the unfortunate woman had returned from market on days Saturdayevening with her little supplies for the dinner,Sunconsisting of a pig's head, vegetables, &c. It is supposed that they were both in a state of intoxication, and a quarrel ensued which terminated in the horrible murder of the unfortunate woman. At six o'clock on Sunday evening the coroner and jury went to view the body of the deceased. We admitted into the room, on entering which a mostuerrye painful sight presented itself, viz , the mutilated body of the murdered woman. She was on her back I the left ear cut off, and only hanging by a small piece of flesh; almost the whole of it had been devoured by vermin. The flesh of the right eye, above and below, was completely scarified; and un' der the left side of the neck a wound had been infilapicpteeadr lsatrhgaet enough to admit a man's four fingers. It instrument with which the fatal deed was committed was a rusty knife without a handle, found in the room. The unfortunate deceased has left a family of six children behind her—two sons in going to see what was the it shlea nadr.m yi thweo h u daughtersshand hsaevrivnigc e , h aa dn d atnw in yo knote wh. ledge of the murder.

The death of Sir Donald Campb ell, Bart., leaves va cant the Lieutenant-Governorship of Prince Ed. ward's Island. The appointment is worth 1,5001. per annum (salary), to which are added various emoluments and advantages which nearly double the salary. ,The markets are cheap, and the calls upon the Lieutenant-Governor's hospitalities and charities comparatively slight. The; only drawback upon the appointment lies in the long winter and rigorous climate. As a -civilian last held the office, we apprehend a civilian will succeed to it, seeing that Lord Grey often appointS' civilians to offices vacated by military officers. 'We trust, however, that the Duke of Wellington will ,put in a word for some veteran still -unprovided for. 'We' are sure that there are many, major-generals quite as competent to fill the office as Mr. Daly, the quondam Secretary to the Canadas,,'Whose name is now mentioned for the appointment.,
