DELL. The house of Mr. Ri:Y:►zoNo had been attacked a short time since, and all his arms taken away • He was at the time absent from home, and on his return declared, before his servants, that, if he had been at home, he would have given up his arms only with his life. One of the servants, a man named MURPIIY, imprudently said before the others that his master need not trouble himself, for  he (MURPHY) knew the whole of the party. This declaration became public; and the consequence was, that a secret tribunal of insurgents sat upon the life of the unfortunate man, and doomed him to assassination. A party appointed to execute this horrid sentence, accordingly proceeded to Holywood House, broke into it, took out th wretched man, and shot him as by sentence of Court Martial !  - _ The statement whit's we yesterday took from ate Dublin an re;pondent relative to the murder of a man and his wife, in the County of Roscommon, is in some respects erroneous. The husband was not a Magistrate, but a poor shepherd, residing near Boyle. This atrocity was marked with peculiar horror. The ruffians having rifled a box of four one pound notes, the shepherd, on perceiving it, got out of bed, on which one of the villains immediately stabbed him on the left breast with a bayonet, fixed to the end of a bludgeon• The poor victim grappled with his assassin, and wrested the bayonet from him ; but in the mean time he was stabbed in several places by another ruffian with a knife, part of which was left sticking in his body. lie however effected his escape, when the barbarians proceeded to murder the wife, stabbing her in various parts of her body, and breaking in her head with a piece of wood. She was left quite dead by the side of a sucking infant, and two other children on an adjacent pallet. The recovery of the husband from his wounds is very doubtful. lie has given information against one of the assassins.  Several files of American Papers were received this morning ; those from Boston are the latest received, of the iith November. (Extract of a Letter from Havannah, Oct. 16. J " There were some disturbances in the elections in La Salud (outside the gates), and the troops charged with ball, preparing to resist, or rather to put down, popular commotion. Three weeks the election was going on, but now it is crier. Mexico is convulsed ; there is no doubt but that kingdom will be independent, and Puerto Rio will soon follow."  The Marquess of WELLESLEY'S departure to assume, the reins of Government in Ireland, is said to have been postponed for ten days. It is now settled that the Noble Lord will not be sworn into office until his arrival in Dublin.— Mr. GOULBURN will be sworn in a I'rivy Councillor before his departure for Ireland.—Mr. WiLmoT, we understand, is to succeed 'Mr. GouLnua)r, as Under Secretary of State in the Colonial Department.—Mr. CLIvE retires from the Home Department, and Mr. DAWsos, the brother-in-law of the Right Hon. R. PEEL, is mentioned as his successor.—(lforning Paper.) MS 'MAJESTY'S ship Bathurst, on a Voyage of Discovery, was spoken with in lat. 10. 10, S. long. 125.
