CLOSE SHAVING.—Under this head, the Boston Mercantile' Journal relates a curious anecdote (entitled to full credence) of a gentleman of respectable standing in that 'city. It .appears' that he had for three years rented a'huirse of a widow lady, who 'boarded with him during that year. Her board bill was pre-' seated regularly every quarter and settled. She occasionally was absent on visits to her friends, hut never'asked or received 'any deduction for board during such 'periods: She had also nursed him with much kindness and affection in sieknesS. A few days since. her quarter's board bill was presented with an ,additional amount for four days' board. As the lady had nofriends visiting her during the last three months'' she very,l4operly requested an explanation of the item, which wasspeomptly given :—" You know," said this devoted worshipper of dollat* and cents, "that since you have boarded with no I have uniformly charged you each quarter for only 13 weeks' hoard,' which would give only 364 days in the year; whereas we all' know that the year consists of 365 days. Consequently in the' course of three years you have received three days' board, for, which you have never paid a farthing. It. also. should not be '.forgotten that the present year is leap year, and this makes ex'-' actly the four days." The following. letter has been received communicating the' ,probable murder of an Englishman, in Greece, from his want of caution:— m A 1,1•4, August lament to state that little doubt ex'its of the purser of the Pprtland, Mr. H. Cooper, having met tiagic end. The following particulars, with reference to ;this sad event, are authentic.—His Majesty's ship Portland, at, :the close of July,. went up the (Atli of Egina, and, when off Callamachi, several officers, of whom the purser was one, obtained leave to visit Corinth. After viewing the HieropoliS, the whole party came doWn together, but, when in the suburbs of .the city of Corinth, the purser told them that he would overtake them at the inn directly. After waiting for him until late the next day, the party directed their steps to the frigate, and reported liis absence, when Captain Price landed with a considerable part of the crew, and searched in all directions to ascertain• if possible the certainty of his fate. A despatch had been sent, in the mean time, to gdmiral Canaris, who immediately went up in a brig and aided the crew of the' frigate with his men in. finding some clue to the purser's mysterious disappearance; the search,, however, of eight days continuance proved fruitless. It Was supposed that a gold chain which 'the unfortunate gentle- , man sported attracted the cupidity of some of the'Mainotes, sod that, after murdering him for the sake of it, they buried the faddy."  importo. d.

In one thick solitary spot, it lay among the last year's leaves of oak and beech, just as it had fallen headlong down. Sopping and soaking in amongst the leaves that formed its pillow oozing down into the boggy grouna, as if to cover itself from human sight; forcingits way between and through the curling leaves, as if those senseless things rejected and foreswore it, and were coiled up in abhorrence; went a dark, dark stain that dyed and scented the whole summer night from earth to heaven.

VATAI. DUEL—A hosti,e meeting took place on Saturday morning, at Sallowiields, near Po, tobeilow, between John Peter Weldon, Esq, and Bony Power White, Esq.. the fortner gentleman of Moleswoith-street, and the latter of Goldenvilla, county Tipperary. At the first fire, Mr. Weldon's hall entered the forehead of Mr. White, a little above his hatband, at the right side, traversed the brain, and lodged in the back part of the head. Ile fell and died immediately, upon which all those who were engaged left the ground. Mr. Weicien was accompanied by Bodkin, of Galway, Esq., and the deceased by the Zion. Butler. We understand the cause of the dispute to be as follows :—Some time before, a gentleman named Walker had a quarrel with Mr. Weldon, and Mr. White took an active part as the friend of Mr. Walker, but not as his acting friend on the occasion. The affair was, however, settled amicably. On Wednesday night Mr. White came into the New Shades, in Grafton-street, where Mr. Weldon was. They both sat at different tables' and a row having occurred in another part of the room, Mr. White addressed some words to Mr. Weldon—we understand the words were, "that's queer work, Weldon." Mr. Weldon said, " Sir, I don't know von," upon which Mr. White answered, "you will know me when leondescend to speak to you again, 1 think you beneath my notice," or some words to that effect. This, it is said, led to the meeting which terminated so unfortunately.--Dublin Freeman's Journal. THE MURDER OF Miss ELIkIES.—Up to Tuesday evening, the efforts to discover the murderers of Miss Elmes had proved unavailing. The body has been placed in a shell, where it will remain until her friends give directions for her funeral. She it related to several highly respectable persons, resident in Surrey and the West of England. In a corner of the deceased's room is a large recess, about three feet deep, in which it is supposed the murderers concealed themselves until the deceased itarne up stairs to bed. The Secretary of State has intimated that a reward of £lOO will be offered by goverment for the apprehension and conviction of the offenders. The parish of Chelsea also intend to offer a reward of £5O, and the Rev. Mr. Lockwood, the rector, has signified his intention to contribute . £5O for the same purpose.

CDARGE OF MURDER.  William Hodge, aged 25, was charged with the wilful murder of Mary Moore, at Withington, on the 19th of June last. The indictment charged the prisoner with having, with a certain hedge-stake, beaten and wounded the deceased, and the second count charged him with having beaten her with a certain blunt instrument.  The prisoner is a strong, well-built, and tolerably goodlooking young man. He was dressed in a blue .coat, bar agatt vest; st►iped fustian tron•sers, blue shirt, and cotton handkerchief. He presented himself at the bar with an appearance of great firmness. There was, however, anabruptness about his manner that gave indication of his firmness being assumed. He pleaded not guilty. Mr. STA lIKIE and Mr. BRANDT appeared for the prosecution. Mr. WILK INS and Mr. Por.Locx for the defence.  Mr. STARKTE stated the case to the jury, to whom a plan of the road between Manchester and Houghsend was provided. Mr. S. pointed out to the jury the several places as indicated thereupon which he had occasion to mention. The learned gentleman entered into minute details of the circumstances which were to he brought for Ward in evidence. ' Joseph Moore stated that the deceased Mary Moore was his wife. She was ‘IS years of age, and was in the service of Mrs. Charlton. She attended the Manchester market with the garden produce of Mrs. Chornon. She set off to market on the 19th of June, at half-past six in the morning, and he never saw her again till she was brought home on the next night a corpse. She had on a market-pocket, in which she kept the money which she received for produCe. She put the money in loose. She had also a private pocket of her own, in which she had money of her own, which was safe when her body was brought home. She usually went to Mrs. Chorlton to pay her money before she came home. She had on a black straw-bonnet. She was in the habit of wearing flannel round her head.  By Mr. WILKINs. —Witness knew the place where the occurrence took place. Any one, from the windows of his witness's house, could see the spot. The house of Mr. Wood, a constable, was in that lane, and there was an end window to Mr. Wood's house, from which the spot could be seen. It could also be seen from a neighbouring farm-yard. Mosslane was a public road to Manchester. Thos. Hooley, a seSvant to Mrs. Chor!ton. stated that he went with the cart to the market on the 19th of June, with Mrs. Moore. He saw her at market, and saw her receive 'copper and silver money there. She put the money in a pocket under her apron. She sold .all the produce by eleven o'clock in the morning. Witness parted with her, and she told him she viould go to the end of Tibb,street. Ile took the cart past the end of Tibb-street, but he cOuld not see her. He got home betwixt twelve and one o'clock.
