MURDER OP A WIPE' RY lIER HUSBAND:OII Thursday night last, an atrocious murder was committed in Antrim by a publican named William Johnston.. The victim was his .wife, and the circumstances'of the terrible transaction as far as we have been enabled •to learn are' these :- both husband and wife were addicted to drinking, and, as a consequence, they frequently 'quarrelled with each other. On Thursday night about cleVeri o'clock; he having been absent during the evening,•returned home and,fuund his wife in bed. What oecurred exactly betwedi them, no person can tell% as there was no third person present in. the .room : but it appears, according to Johnston's own statement, that they had some angry 'words with each other, and in his passion, he seized a candlestick and with it murdered his "unhappy victim, Seeing whtstize-had done; and-no' doubt felt remorse, ran. himself for a.doctor, but.it was too late. By the time the dOctOr and he returned the woman had expired.. An inquest. was • held upon the body next day, and a verdict of "..Manslaughter" was returned by the jury. The prisoner wagafteiwards transmitted to this town to the county goal, Where he will remain until his trial at the ensuing assizes. —Belfast Mercury.  • TH:E. NEW AMERICAN REPUBLIC,—The territory which Colonel Walker and his:companions have just wrested from Mexican power (not "American power,"..as was misprinted yesterday), is the long Peninsula called sometimes Old, and sometimes. Lower,. California, and extending, between the glilf and:the Pacific Ocean. It is,about 700 miles iniength, with a hreadth varying from 30 to 100 miles, coniprisiTg an area of about 38,000 square miles,,,,with ivseanty,poptilation 'variously estimated at from 14,000 to 20,000. A.Chain of rocky mountains, not exceeding 5,000 feet in height, runs through it from south to north, and the surface of the country ecnsiSts of groups of bare rocks broken by ravines and hills, interspersed with barren sandy tracts, forming al-, together one of the least attractive regions within the temperate zone. It is believed, however, to ,be rich in metals. The climate is excessively dry and hot, and violent hurri., canes are frequent; there are more wolves than timber trees, and a greater. part of the country is incapable of producing a single blade of corn. The chief exports have hitherto consisted of pearls from the gulf, to the extent of an annual value of, from 500 to 1,000 dollars, tortoise shell, hides, dried fruitsLitnd cheese and ,soap. These commodities are for .the most part exported to Mazatlan and San Plas in small toasting vessels. What the country may became in the hands of a new government remains to be seen, Mor.DEn. AT
