THE LATE MURDER IN KILDARE.  NA As, Saturday Night.  I have ascertained the following par molars tespectiog the late horrible and mysterious occurrence in the neighbourhood of this town:—The parties implicated are Mrs. Coffey, wife of the deceased, Mr. MlLoghlin, her son, and a maid servant. They are all at present lodged in the gaol of Naas. The Inquest terminated at a late hour last night, when a verdict of Wilful Murder was returned against all the above part es. They were all present at the Inquest; M.Loghlin asked a few questions of the principal witness, and his manner appeared rather contused and hurried. Evidence was given that M'Loghlin lately swore that be would be the cause of the destruction of the deceased. The differences be.. tween them arose as to a taint, halt of which was held by M'Loghlin, who would never give an account of it; C ffey, adopting legal advice, which be took on the Mutter, served MiLughlin, on Monday last, with a process ts,r diet and lodging for several years, with a vicar to compel him to settle the accounts between thens. Mis. IM4Loghlin, it appeared, had pined with her son in these disputes, and the difference between her and her husband proceeded to such a length, that they had not cohabited for some time past. Her sleeping room, however, adjoined his, and it was necessaiy to pass through it to arrive in Mr. Coffey's bedchamber. Ott Wednesday morning he was found dead in his bed. His head was lying out of the bed. A deep incised wound had been inflicted at the back of the neck, and another immediately over the temporal artery. The sheets were covered with gore. The hatchet was bloody, and some hairs were found on it. From the evidence of the surgeon who attended the inquest. it appeared that those hairs corresponded ih colour with the hair on the head of the deceased, who was a feeble old man, aged upwards of 70. The prisoners were conveyed by a strong escort into Naas: they might other wise have fallen 'Wiens to the popular indignation, as Mr. Coffey was extremely bel-oved in the neighbourhood. The inquest commenced on Friday morning, and terminated as 11 o'clock that night. After a charge from the Coroner, the Jury retired for about ten minutes, and returned with a verdict of " Wilful Murder, against all the parties accused." It is supposed that tne servant maid will make a confession, and become approver against the others. Nothing can exceed the horror which the occurrence has excited in Naas and the surrounding neighbourhood. The Irish Revenue to the Criarter ended 10th of October, we are happy to state, has experienced a considerable improvement,as compared with the correspoodingQumter last year. The smut ry state of Marseilles is considerably improved, and the smallpox is almost eradicated 264 persons died from that disorder in August, and only 88 in September. In August the total number of deathsl was 619,in Sept. only 393.

What is good in a poem is intolerable in a drama.— Tbe passim, are quick and abrupt ; and nothing is so tedious as something to be said, when the attention is looking out for some. thing ,to be done. So mark for dle distinction between narrative and iuion.
