MURDIR OF AN EDITOR.—MT. Lloyd Clary, editor of the Cumberland Daily Times, Maryland. was deliberately murdered in his office on the 27th ultimo by a young man named Resley, son of the clerk of the circuit court. In the Times of that morning had appeared an article in which certaM apparent inequalities in the manner of computing the mileage and pay of jurymen in a recent ease tried in the circuit court were pointed out, th orders for the money being made out by Mr. Realty or one of his deputies. At two o'clock in the afternoon, young Healey went into the Times office, armed with a revolver, and meeting Mr, Clary in the hall at the top of the first flight of stairs, he put to him the question, "Did you write that article ?" at the same time drawing his pistol. Clary exclaimed, "John, give me a chance." Resley said, No !" and immediately fired two shots, the one passing through Clary's neck, and the other entering his chest just below the heart, inflicting a fatal wound. Mr. M•Cardle, foreman of the composing room, ran to the door leading down stairs, and found Mr. Clary on the second step, the blood gushing from his throat and breast. He exclaimed "Go for a doctor." He had one hand to his throat and in the other a pistol. Mr. M'CartUe ran down to the street and saw John H. Resley standing on the opposite side, gesticulating wildly. He said, "I did it, and I am ready for any of his friends," and at the same time reached behind him as if to draw a pistol. Mr. Clary died in the evening. Resley surrendered himself and was committed to gaol.  A BREAD AND CRUSE BANQuET. A masonic banquet took place on Saturday evening, at the Cannon-street Hotel, London, which deserves notice. After the usual lodge work was done, the members of the "Great City" Lodge of Freemasons adjourned to their banquet room, where, instead of the accustomed sumptuous dinner, there was spread a frugal meal of bread and cheese and ale. The Worshipful Master presided, and all the officers and visitors partook of the iepast ; and, when the cloth had been removed, the president explained to the visitors that the lodge had determined to give up one banquet, which cost between £6O and £6O, and to give the amount thus saved to the charity fund of the lodge. Most of the visitors spoke, and expressed themselves as highly delighted with the novel banquet, and the m2rnhers were so gratified at the unexpected success of the experiment that it was proposed to give up four out of the six monthly banquets, and so increase the charitable fund to the extent of shout £2OO. The proposal was well received, and after the usual toasts had been duly honoured the list went round for individual subscriptions to the Masonic Benevolent Institution, when about £3O was subscribed and more promised.  It is announced by the Sun that there le to be a winter session of Parliament early in December, in order to vote the Ashantee estimates.  The Beatitude, from London to Boston (Lincolnshire), with a cargo of maize' was wreck off the Skerries on Sunday, and all hands lost.

On Saturday morning, a man named Wilson, living at Islington, attacked his little boy by striking him on the head with a chopper, nearly scalping him. The child died the same day. On Saturday morning there was an explosion of tire-damp at Mr. Clayton's Gwersyllt Colliery, near Wrnham. Of the men who were emp'.oyed near the spot seven were severely burned, and one or two of them are not expected to recover. . . .
