HORRIBLE FRATRICIDE  FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE MURDER OF THE LATE MR. RICHARD MAGRATII.—APPREHENSiON OF THE MURDERERS, —We gave a hurried account of this brutal murder in our last, but we now hasten to lay before our readers the particulars. On the night of the 7th of September a man named Aylward, from Finagh, county Carlow, came to the deceased, Richard Magrath's house, Castle II vde, Rosbercon, county Kilkenny, and told him that a Miss Wynn, of Kellymount, county Carlow, was attached to him, and that he and his brother, William Magrath, had-everything arranged for an elopement. Accordingly this poor credulous young man set out with Aylward, of Kellymount, and after partaking of some refreshments on the road, they continued their journey until they met William Magratis and old Aylward, father of the above-mentioned man. They stated that the lady was waiting for him on the banks of the canal; accordingly they all proceeded on until they arrived within a few miles of Bagnalstown, when his brother. William knocked the deceased down, knelt on his chest, pulled out his handkerchief, and strangled him, assisted by the Aylwards. A Man who was standing by heard the poor fellow repeat, "Oh, brother, brother, spare my life !" but he was deaf to his entreaties, and never loosed the handkerchief from his neck until death pat an end to his sufferings, which lasted for a quarter of an hour; his brother then caught him by the -hands and the Aylwards by the feet, and threw him into the River BarroW. William Magrath then returned to his deceased brother's house, sold his horse, and broke open his drawers, and took possessiou of his house; where he remained until apprehended, nine days after the atrocious murder-was _committed. The body of the unfortunate man was found floating by some persons, who- instantly gave information to the police, and au inquest was accordingly held by Mr. Gorman, coroner for the eounty Carlow, and a verdict returned of " Found drowned." George White, Esq., C.C., Roshercon, got inforreetion stating the facts; he immediately proceeded to Magrath's house and arrested him, and had him lodged in the Bridewelt, New Ross. On the next day (Friday) he was escorted by a party of police to Borris, county Carlow, when n inyestigatiou was held before Robert Boyne, Esq., and.Capiain Ilaggarty, and after a patient inquiry, which lasted until Saturday evening. the above evidence was given, and Magrath and the two Aylwards were fully cons. mitted to Carlow jail to stand their trial at the ensuing assizesWilliam Magrath is a tine handsome gentlemanly person, aged about thirty; he appears much dejected, and on being told that he had little chance, he took off his riiig, and, presenting it to his brother-in-law, said, " Take care ot rny child; as for me, 1 am undone." We understand there was no previous quarrel between the brothers, and the unfortunate man was, it is thought, murdered solely for the purpose of getting his farm.-{f erfie'd Conserrative.

A FAIR ExcusE.—A commercial traveller left an article of his wardrobe at an inn, and wrote to the chambermaid to forward it to him by the coach. He received the following answer:-" I hope, dear sir, you'll not feel hurt, I'll frankly tell you all about it • I have made a shift of your old shirt, And you must make a shift without it."
