MURDER IN GLASGOW.—It is our painful duty to-day to record an atrocious case of murder, which was perpetrated Nr•eicsitdimingwinas Taunr e eenl d. es elder -street, rl ye e tm, Ca nal, t onna, mane and in the Bridgegate on Saturday night, between eleven and twelve o'clock. td Dhaev:cdirLcuovm;etaanc weaver,es Theunler which he was murdered, were as follow :—Shortly after eleven o'clock it appears Love and another individual, whose name we have not learned, went Tavern, into an eating-house, Pigs' Feet T ' , in the Croosedubbs, kept by a person named Daly, and called for a small quantity of victuals. Previous to their being consumed, however, the reckoning, amounting to 6d. was demanded, and it turned out that neither Love nor his companion, owing to some misunderstanding, had any money. This gave rise to some altercation between them and the people of the house ; but so far as we have ascertained, it consisted principally of abusive language on the part of Mrs. Daly and her servant, a girl named Cassidy, on account of their having been put to the trouble of setting down food to individuals who had nothing to pay far it. Ultimately the watchman being sent for, or hearing the noise, went into Daly's ; but after this there was no disturbance, as Love and his companion went away peaceably, seemingly satisfied to escape from the disagreeable position in emwhich they were placed. They had only proceeded a short distance along the Bridgegate, when Love was knocked down from behind by a blow on the back of the head. This blow there is no doubt was inflicted by Daly, he having been seen to do it by several persons who were close by at the time ; and the result was that Love literally died on the spot. The unfortunate man was lifted and carried into the shop of Dr. Gribten, but it was of no avail—the vital spark had fled. After he occurrence Daly was accused of having killed the man by some persons who had seen the deed committed, and amongst others by a;man named Adams, a brass-founder, residing in Gorbals, who followed him into is own shop. when Mrs. Daly struck him on the mouth for making such thus warned an accusation against her husband.

A post mr,rt examination of the an unhappy bereavement. body is to take place to-day. In the meantime it is supposed that the deceased had been struck on the jugular vein, and that, that was the cause of his untimely end.—Glasgow Argus of Monday.
