THE PEELITES.  It is one of the daily trials attendant on our imperfect state, as well as one of the readiest proofs of its imperfection, that we find ourselves differing often, and occasionally on most momentous questions, from those whom we love, esteem, and respect sincerely. Our principles may be essentially the same, yet cases arise when we are utterly unable to agree as to the conclusions to be drawn from them, or as to the mode of their application. We feel such cases to be painful, but we know them to be inevitable, and we owe it to the very law of our nature, to our own fallibility as well as that of others, to see that such occasional differences do not produce bitterness or estrangement. Combined action will also be impossible, even among chief friends; every man will be his own Pope, and abide in a glorious minority of one. Perhaps the greatest of the many evils which sprang from the ill-omened Coalition under Lord Aberdeen was its tendency to perpetuate a disagreement which the lapse of time and change would else have gone far to efface. Sir R. Peel was gone, and those who had felt them. selves aggrieved by his change of opinion on the corn-law question, or by the manner in which he carried out his altered views, had acquiesced in the new system, and were earnestly desirous to carry it out fairly and impartially, so as to escape the class legislation threatened by the triumph of the League. Lord George Bentinck was gone, and if some were still living whom a sense of desertion had urged to personalities which Sir Robert's most attached adherents still resented, yet such invectives had been regretted as well as discontinued, and it is easy for the successful to be forgiving. With a little temper and a little patience, two or three years would have reunited the Conservative party, and we should have been spared the indecorum of Roebuck mutinying against the Duke of Newcastle, and Gladstone cheek by jowl with Sir W. Molesworth. But bitter memories and vague hopes prevailed, and a second edition of "all the talents" came out under Lord Aberdeen's auspices, claiming a redundancy of administrative ability, but exhibiting from the first a lamentable want of statemanship. Then came the long repentance of theßuasian war—the mines and countermines of Lords Palmerston and J. Russell—the patriotic libels of the'  about  strongly fortified towns*, found, at the close of the most brilliant of his exploits, himself bitterly reflected on by the home authorities for having done military execution on 150 mutineers of the Bhopal Contingent seized with arms in their hands, and convicted of attacking the Residency of Indore, with a view to the murder of its occupants. He is expected at Bombay, where he will receive as cordial a welcome as triumphal leader need desire, and will, we presume, resume command of the Poona division. When the news of Sir Hugh Rose's victory reached Allahabed, the authorities issued the following :  "

HORRIBLE MURDER AT GREAT YARMOUTH. One of the most brutal and unprovoked eacrifloes of human life which it has ever fallen to the task of publio journalists to record, took place lately at Yarmouth, In the county of Norfolk, under the following circumstances. The deceased, named Harriet Candler, was a widow woman, very quiet and respectable, was a member of the Wesleyan bociety, and managed a kind of chandlery shop, selling flour, oatmeal,pollard, dm The night policeman on duty found her street door partially opened; he called to her, but receiving no answer proceeded to examine the till, suspecting some robbery had been committed. Lying down by the side of the till, with her head forced under the counter, he found the deceased literally deluged in her own blood. Her skull had no less than Bve wounds inflicted upon it; one of them in the left side so severe as to throw the upper portion of the bone so as to 'overlap another broken part of the skull. On the right side of the neck a wound had been inflicted sufficiently severe to sever a portion of the vertebrae of the neck, and one of her fingers wee cut off, probably whilst uplifted in defence. The following is the probable history, so gathered from the evidence at the coroner's inquest (proceeding when this report left). Deceased lived quite alone in the house, and went to a public-house, opposite, to purchase her supper beer, leaving the street-door closed but unlocked while she was gone. During an absence of ten minutes, the murderer or murderers (probably two) secreted themselves in a bin where pease or bran wee kept. The deceased sat fir& time readings religious work, and drank a portion of the porter; she then went into the shop to take the money out of the Liii when she was felled to the gronnd by the murderer's hammer.' The first blow rendered her insensible; the remainder were given lest the "intent and not the deed" vhonld confound them. A knife covered with blood lay by the side of the deceruied, but the surgeon was of opinion that the wound in the neck was inflicted with the cheese-cutter (a kind of short ale) which contained& per. tiou of blood upon it. Last Satarday deceased had taken a division of property amounting to £l5O, left by her husband's mother and uncle. 8 I other relatives lived in Yarmouth and neighbourhood, and received similar minis; it became common talk amongst them, and the deceased was incautious enough to say that as the AIM was for her von, she should put it under her bed until she could bear from his trustee, as she expected a much larger sum. This got noised abroad, and parties doubtless sedulously watched her movements on the night in quettion, in order to plunder her, and as they were recognised and known by her, to murder ber rather than be detected. The £l4O was taken without disturb.. log the bed; £lOO was in a check on Messrs. Gurney and Co.. bank. During the inquest a portion of money, consisting of gold, silver, and about £8 or £lO in coppers, was found near 0. . . .  Poverlap oerk

ENGLAND. Sir Robert Sale.—At a general meeting extraordinary of the United Service Club, held on Friday, Sir George Seymour in the chair, Sir Robert Sale was unanimously elected an honorary member of the club. This is the only iostance of a British officer being elected out of the regular course, and the exception to the rule is well worthy of the distinguished club.—Naval and Military Oaselle. Sir William Nott.—Major-General Sir William Nott, G.C.B. the hero of Candahar and Affghanistan, as soon as his health will permit, will leave town for Carmarthen, where the gallant Officer resided before his departure for the East. Pr. Wolf—We regret to find, in the letter in our Constantinople correspondent of the 17th, a conarmetion of the rumour previonsly brought by the German papers of the arrest and detention of Dr. Wolff by the tyrant of Bokhara. The situation of the reverend gentleman is one to create great anxiety and alarm to all the friends of humanity. It appears as if his fate were made to depend in some measure on the result of a war in which the Khan is engaged. Should the war be of protracted endurance, so must be this brave man's captivity. Should the Khan be defeated, his fate will most probably be slavery or death. We trust that the English Government will not lose time in making use of the influence it still has in those countries to rescue a man who deserves so well of the whole Christian world, front the situation of peril into which he was led in the cause of humanity alone. —Morning Chronicle.

MURDER OF THE CHIEF OFFICER OF THE BRIGHTON POLICE.  On Wednesday, a young man, named Lawrence, a native of Tunbridge Wells, was apprehended shortly after eight P.m., for stealing a roll of carpet, which the primaiser had on his back when taken. He was taken to the room of Mr. Solomon, the thief officer, in the Town Hall, where the latter was engaged in conwernation with Mr. Butler, the collector of the poor-rates. Messrs. Alger, Palmer, and Slight, jun. three Brighton tradesmen, were also in the room. Solomon ..id the prisoner, "You have been in the town some little time, I believe ?" The prisoner replied, that he had not, and then asked for a knife, saying that life was burdensome to him and that he would cut his throat; and he pulled off his stock and sat down in a chair. Solomon turned away from the prisoner to Mew the conversation. Five minutes had scarcely elapsed, when the prisoner,unperceived by the peraons in the room, stepped acrossto the fire-place,took up the poker.and as Solomon was standing without his hat, the prisoner aimed a blow at him with the poker and felled him to the ground, inflicting a frightful gash five or six inches in length, just over his right ear. Mr. Slight immediately seised the villain, and the other persons in the room turned their attention to the sufferer, who was senseless, and bleeding profusely. Two surgeons were called in, who dreamed the wound, and Mr. Solomon was conveyed to his own home. The prisoner is known among his associates by the nickname of "Meg," and was brought up as a plasterer. Six years ago he was "in trouble," and on coming oat of jail he obtained work as a farm labourer for some time, after which he fell into had company, and of late has lived a very bad life. He states that he bore no enmity against Solomon, and for his sake is sorry for what he did; but that, for his own sake, he should rejoice in the prospect of being rid of existence. He is about 24 years of age. He bore no appearance of having been drinking. Several surgeons were in attendance upon Mr. Solomon during the night. He remained insensible till ten o'clock this morning, when he expired. The prisoner this morning underwent an examination before the Magistrates, and was committed for trial for the murder.—An inquest wan held at Brighton on Friday, on the body. The examination lasted five hours, and terminated in a verdict of "wilful murder" against Lawrence. Mr. Baldey, the surgeon, thus describes the effects of the blow :—" We found a compound fracture on the lower part of the parietal bone, extending in a double direction through the temporal bone, into the centre of the base of the skull. There ins rupture of the menengerial artillery, with a considerable extravasation of blood between the skull and the meuskasewaiirlle Ise extent of about 6 Tbetre ta elso • portion of extruvasated blood on the opposite aide of the head. I consider these injuries to be quite sufficient to cause death."

HORRIBLE AND SAVAGE MURDER OF TWO PROTESTANTS—BROTHERS. ( Front a Correspondent of Dublin Mail.)  The sanguinary and heart-chilling tale of these barbarous murders are as follows :—A family of the name of Shepherd, respectable Protestant farmers, living at Derrycooley, in Italian, King's County, took a farm of laud of Mr. Fawcett, of Cloone, of the lan& of Cool6n, near Salliboy, in said county, containing about twenty-four acres, in August last, out of which a family, of the name of Dols. Roman Catholics, were ejected for nonpayment of rent. When it was understood who took the farm, a notice was served on them (the Shepherds) at Derrycooley, as they valued their lives not to go there, to which no attention was paid. When they proceeded to the lands, a second notice was served upon them to the same effect; but being a numerous family, and nothing daunted, they provided themselves with arms and ammunition, and took possession—their first precaution being to make the roof of the house are-proof outside with clay, and then boring gun-holes through different parts of the malt; and while at work in the day time one brother standing sentinel with loaded arms; while the others ware employed. It appeared, however, their motions were well watched, for on one of the brothers mimed Ambrose, going off on Wednesday or Thurs. day last to Derrycooley for a load of furniture, and to bring his wife and family with him, he, on his return, coming up to the house, seeing the horses harnessed straying about, and the door partially shut, at once suspected the dreadful warning was put into execution; and half frantic in vain called upon his brothem to appear, and dredding to enter the house left all behind him and ran In wild despair to the neat police station, expressing (earn; some of them accompanied him back, and found his apprehensions but, alas I too true. The body ot his brother Thomas was found inside the house, his hem' smashed to atoms; a spade, and all their arms gone. The othlr brother William, owing to the then darkness of the ev,:ning, could not be found, but on resuming the search next morning (Saturday), his body was found in a ditch, his head also literally smashed to atoms—so that the murders must have been committed in the open day on Friday. Jaw Villon, Esq., one of the King's County coroners, having by this time ampited, beds respectable jury summoned, and from the evidence of Ambrose Shepherd and Doctor Thornton, of Frankford, the jury resettled a verdict of "Wilful Murder against some person or persons at present unknown.* The dead bodies were then put on a car by their brother, and brought home to Derrycooley. Such is the fearful tragedy of the Shepherds, coda warning to all Protestants of what they may espect from Catholics, who respect not the laws of God or man—they will neither pay rent, nor allow otbers ; and by the system now running in undercurrents, concocted at card parties and dances throughout the country (upon which the authorities should keep a vigilant watch) ths . . . --, murder, and legista.c allatt, lite sad pr.that, like th hi a'ihoyt • robed Jews .t
