HORRIBLE MURDER IN NEW  ZEALAND. The family of Mr. John Ellis, a greengrocer and stable-keeper in the Commercial road, East, have just received, per the Cornelia, Captain Mickkburg, from Wellington, New Zealand, the melancholy tidings of the murder of John Ellis, son of the above, on board the ship General Palmer, in Port Nicholson, in the early part of the month of April last., and the committal fur trial of four persons concerned in the atrocious deed.  It appears that Ellis, who had served an apprenticeship to Messrs Somes, the ship-owners, of Ratcliff, and had been out of his time about ten months, was appointed to take charge of the General Palmer, after the crew had quitted her, and she was laid up in Port Nicholson, in consequence of her leaky condition. Great confidence was reposed in Ellis, who was a yow; man of much promise. Ile had charge of all the stores on board, and was in the practice of coming on shore every morning to transact business with Mr. Kenneth Bethune, a merchant and agent of the ship, residing in Wellington. He became acquainted with four men, named William Good, alias William Frederick Henderson, a deserter from the 65th regiment; M. Coslin, Jobn Jones, and Thompson, and they were in the practice of visiting him on board ship. Knowing that he had above 201. wages and other property in his possession, they resolved on his murder, and the unfortunate young man fell a victim to their treachery and cupidity, and to his own mis• placed confidence in their integrity. Ellis was missing fur a we. k, and Mr. Bethune, fearing that he hod been the victim of foul play, went on board the General Palmer, and saw Thompson on board, who, on -being questioned, said the shipkeeper and Ellis had gone ashore some days previow.
