The an 4olasee of the name of James Youl, to the plea a meeting in Donee, from his mu- and when eta place called Preston Cleugh, about half a mile to the north of Preston, at about half-peat five o'clock in the afternoon, was fired at with a gun or a pietol from the plantation adjoining the east side of the road, or from behind • whin-bush on the road-side next the plantation. The shot took effect in the back, and the piece being heavily charged, he instoutly fell. Youl also received some of the shots in his arm; and being stunned by the murderous attack, and seeing Cockburn fall, he fled to Preston for assistance, and protection to himself and Coekbarn—having procured which, and returning immediately to the spot, Cockburn was found as he fell, but there was no trace of the murderer. lie was now conveyed to the nearest house at Preston, and medical assistance, and the proper authorities, sent for from Dunce. On an examination of his wounds, be was found to have received about 160 slug and round shot in the back, which was dreadfully lacerated. On recovering serniation, he was heard to say, "that it was a poor revenge ;" and when asked if he suspected any one to have done the deed, be said be thought it would be John Johnston, who presently resides with Jean Rankin, as hind for her, the bride to whom he was to have been married. Johnston at that time was in the room, and was then apprehended, but was then thought to be innocent, as some came forward and said they knew him to have been elsewhere when the shot was fired. Since then he has been placed under examination, and remanded for some days until further evidence be produced. The bride and bridesmaid had arrived previously in Dunne, and were waiting the arrival of the bridegroom and his friends, when intelligence of the deed reached them. The friends of the bride, on hearing It, new the propriety 'of being cautious at such a time in communicating it abruptly to her ; they, therefore, sent for the Rev. Mr, Riddell, who, in a calm and suitable manner, made her aware of what had befallen her intended husband. The poor woman on lg it was sorely distressed. We understand that up to this leases Cockburn is In a very dangerous condition, and not to-survive. Some of the shots have been eltracted, but ..are are stifi above a hundred lodged in his body. to addition to the above, a farther examination of Johnston took place on Wednesday, the 27th ult., when he was committed for trial. From what can be learned, he had borrowed a gun from some person in Chirnside about three weeks ago, which he denies. The person from whom be got the gun into be examined."  --..."019113111.0 eceouuts by the last eat India mall. Sugars were held at eala. PRICES Olf
