FUNERAL OF THE RliV, O. OWEN.…
FUNERAL OF THE RliV, O. OWEN. B R ) FELLOW OF JESI S COLLEGE, AND HEAD MASTER OF RL'THIN SCHOOL. (From a Corre.mondent.) On Thursday morning it was understood that [the fcheral of Mr. Owen was to tako. place at M^laiifaes, at the distance of about a mile from; Hcaiiinai is. Immediately after the body was found, IAIeii coffin was procured, and the funeral was po,tponed, until such time as the bodies of his sisters could be found, but day after day passed, and no tidings of tliem have reached their friends ns yet. At eleven o'clock the mournful toneof the muffled bell gave notice of the preparation for the funeral, and deeply aqxious was every inha- bitant who knew Mr. Owen to catch a glance at the solemn procession. At a quarter after 12 the procession began to move, headed by Mr. Batley and Mr. H. Roberts, on horseback; next came the hearse with the boatmen who found the hod v, and others who were in attendance, arranged equally on both ,ides; then a mourning carriage with three or four oUter carriage!, in which were the friends and acquaintances of the lamented deceased, among whom were Sfr Richard W, Bulkeley, Bt, the Rev. Dr, Howard, &c, At one o'clock they r???li?d Llanfaes; the beautiful service of OUI'I church commenced, and was most impressively read by Ibe Re., Ih. Howard, and the body 1,?, committed to the silent tomb, amidst the bitter tears of his sorrowing relatives, and Ihe lasting regret of his numerous fricwis. In classical learning Dir. Owen was no mean proficient. In his knowledge of the Greek and Latin historians, he was not surpassed by any i.r his fellow collegian8: in industry he h'I,1 nn rival; he was wedded to his books In biblical criticism, they who attended his Greek Tcslament Lectures, can well testify that he brought his learning to bear on this (ill our infidel age) ifllpMtallt branch of the study nf ;t clergyman. His illustrations were clear and luminous, loaded with lio super fluity or extraneous matter, and his references to authors recommended to the future perusal of his pupils, were happy and appropiiate. His style was formed Oil the best nio iel-, combining simpli- city of arrangement with sometimes oil energy, hnl ahval's a gravity of diction, lie endeavoured' ns far as lay in his power to study the interests of those who were placed un 'cr his tuifion, by cansing tliem to adhere strictly and punctually to the per Inrmance of their necessnry literary duties. He was strict without severity, and lenient without indulgence, fie was weli qualified lor the duties of the ,talinnt" which he was recently appointed, jhot which, alas his melancholy fate destined bim ever to undertake. His carecr of usefulness is over. The flower of his laumihle hopefnl anticipations is withered. ( Would not be thought guilty )f asuspicion ,f in delicacy ii. drawing any invidious' comparisons; however, men of extensive acquirements, of ex haustlcss energies, of great good sense, who have long imparted their instruction! and their example, late certainly daily removed to pay the uncharge able aud fixed tribute of nature; but the regrets 1 lit their departure are mellowed by the timely re- flection, that-the long exercise a d exhibition of their labours here, carried them fir beyond the range of their own immediate interests and con- nexions; and that the diversities of their talents have been directed into one vast channel on the "expanded principle of universal good, to effect the U10st important revolutions in the wide range of morality and literature. It is a consolation to think that they iiiiit this transitory, bustling scene, after having Witnessed the completion of their plivsienl and intellectual powers. Their sun, after xunni g its "11IemHI! tourse, and shilling through a lengthened summer's day, hath stink 01 the cloje of their career, in the eiening ol' life, but his be lore reaching its mcri iiiii be fell when his own hopes and the expedntiolls of those about hiin, bloomed the brightest, in the full possession of tile vigour of his faculties, an I the ardour of his honourable pursuits. When be entered upen his duties at co llege, tbe writer of this article was then on the eve of eOlllllletiog hi academical stullies; but durillg the short time that he enjoyed tbe bendit of his instructions, he has no hesitation in arowing that he reaped an abundant profit, and long did he regi?ct the period when he was to ?x perie,.ce a total cessation of them. Now that he has been removed by the mysterious and inscrut- able purpose of hiin "who dorth according to his Hill ill the armi) vf heaven etui! (lmunq the inhabitants nfthf earth, this small tribute to his memory is cheerfully paid by one w ho respected him in life, tti.d Who now cherishes his remembrance in death "Mista sen urn ac juvemim ilensantur funera; nullum Soeva caput J'loseipina BmiUmaris.

ILIGHT HOUSE AND TELEGRAPH…
I LIGHT HOUSE AND TELEGRAPH NEAR BEAUMARIS. I The recent melancholy occurence has called the I attention of the public to the state of the naviga: tio|fiii the Men.ai Straits,-—a subject worthy of the rubft serious consideration. When the quantity uf shipping of various denominations constantly arriving at or leaving the pwts of Beaumaris, rpenrlfYn, Felin Heli, find Carnarvon, is taken into consideration, as well -«S the niiniher of vessels whrtoh pass through the Straits, it is matter of astonishment that no light hbbse should be upon the coast to direct the mtrinef iti finding by night the^narrow mouth of the intricate channel by whlvh ttalie either entrance or outlet can be safely effected. TIt. ^attention of Mr, James Harris, junior, j Beasrtirts, agent for Lloyds, has long been turned to will important subject, which he has pursued with the most praiseworthy perseverance. That gentleman has now in his possession a Recom- mendation for the Erection of a Light house at the Blittarce of Beaumaris Harbour, signed by 23 gentlemen, many of them of the first rank in Anglesey and Carnarvonshire, 15 shipowners, 108 niMters of vessels, and several merchants; and this recommendation, he,on Tuesday morning hst, forwarded to Sir It. B. W. Bulkeley, Bart, in order that the subject might be laid before the meeting at the llulkeley Arms. It was accompanied by the following letter Beaumaris, Aug. 30th, 1931. 51R,-1 have taken the liberty of banding you herewith the signatures I have obtained, recom- mending the erection of d Light House at the en- trance yfthi. harbour and respectfully beg the same may be laid before the meeting that is to take place this m4rning.-Sinm my appointment as Ag.,t [or LI,iý, a,?y hyes, as well as property, would hare been saved had'tnere been a lighttogmde a -il? L. the harbour. I'ajso beg to state the gr6af utility of a Telegra- phic Communication between this place, and the present station, on Priestholm Island.—Abouti a nionth since, leave was obtained for Hugh Jones, the man who has charge of the Telegraph on the Island, to attend to one to communicate with; his with this place. Had not my time been so much taken up with the unfortunate wreck of tbe Rvthsay Castle," I should have applied to J'ou, ere tuis, for leave to put np a pole for a Telegrajib, either on the Green, or at the corner of the Mount-field; if that%an be obtained, I will under- take to'make such arranement, as to have a i6g,il.r tomniuni?atiol., ith little delay s po9sibl? I have no ot b c?r obj e(?t in View, bat public benefit, and a more speedy communication to the parties interested in cae of shipwreck, or vessels n!nning into this port, and others Mtbi. my district, that cannot communicate with the slation n the Island. This de8ireable object might tie done by either the Corporation, I b eput ?at i?rge,in?self,or any 6ther,n?a.. the meeting may thing proper to suggest. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your's respectfully, JAMBS HARRIS, JVN, To Sir R. B. tr. llulkihy, Bart. Chairman ,!tlhe Minting. As, however, the meeting on Tuesday last, was called solely for the purpose of discussion relative to the petititions to Parliament, the distribution of the subscriptions, and the appointment of a Committee to investigate the fitness of any vessel to be in future employed in conveying passengers betwixt the Straits and Liverpool, it was not con sidered a fit opportunity for entering upon the obiects recommended bv Mr. Harris. The hmsuhjects to which Mr, Harris wishes to direct public attention are both of great import- ance, especially the first—the Erection of a Light-. hou,e t tI.? e 6 tr..?e of Beaumaris Harbour "Had such a beacon cxisled an the night of tbe lTth of August, in all probability it would have b?e? the means of preventing the awful catpastrophe which then titiik place.Tuis.circumstance alone were sufficient to urge the propriety of taking immediate steps to have this defect in the navigation of the Straits remedied. AStolhe Telegraphic Communication betwixt Priestholin Island and Beaumaris, it would cer- ■ttrinly matter of. ,eiy,malorlal advantaje t6 merchants, Shipowners, masters, and others in. terested jn the trade and navigation of this part of Walesdmd as such deserves not only the snpportoC these1 classes, but of all who fednn interest in the public welfare and prosperity.
PUBLIC MEETING AT BEAUMARIS.…
PUBLIC MEETING AT BEAUMARIS. On Tucsdaylut the 30th August a public,^nett- ing was held in the Great Room of the William^ Bulkeley Arms, which was attended by npwards of 200 magissrates, c!ergymel1, gentlemen, and repectable tradesmen belonging to Bcnumaris, Carnarvon, Baugor, and the adjacent couutry, Sir R. B. W. Bulkeley in the Chair. The Chairman opened the business of the day by eÙncslley requesting that in any debate which might arise, no violent language might be nsed, arid that every person wb" wished to ad iress the meeting should be heard with calmness and atten tion. lie then moved that the resolutions of the previous meeting should be read, which was done, accordingly. The Chairman next called upon John Wright, Esq. bf Liverpool, treasurer to the subscription, to report the amount subscribed, and the distribution theieof so far as the same had proceeded. 11 Mr. Wright, in rising to comply with this re, quest, said he felt happy in the opportunity thus afforded him of paying a justly meiitcd compliment to the good feeling displaj ed by the inhabitants of this and the adjoining county on the present oc. casion. The extent of the public sympathy was evident from the great number of subscribers, and the largeness of the sum subscribed in Sit short a space of time.—The amount subscribed was £21)5, 8s. of which there had been expended the following items to the surviving fireman of the Rulhsay Castte, who had a wife and six children, for his expenses at Beaumaris, £1, 19. and £ i. when leaving, in all 48. I.R. to a poor man named Deni, qon?145s.?, to the widow of the engineer, who had 8fe children and was now pregi)ani, X5. her husband'! funeral expenses having been paid by Mr, W; Watson; to the widow of the assistant steward, £ 2. 14; to the widow of a musician, w h o was left with three children, £ 3.; to the widow of- another musician, left with six children, X5; and to Jefuss^ a Liverpool pilot, who had lost his clothes in taie k, 41. 9s. making in all 42-5. 19s. •expended, 1111,1 leaving a balance of £250, 91, in rcjjfrtrf to the expenditure of which the com- mittee riow awaited the initructions of the meeting. He had only further to stale, that he had a list of no fewer that 75 persons who had been engaged in 1 the saving the lives and property, and in the recovery "fdead bodies from the wreck, and as one great Object of the subscription was to reward the persons so employed, the meeting would perceive that there were, very great deuillnÙSllpOIl the fultd, L. Hampton, Esq. then moved that the com mittte be requested to continue their services in distributing the funds, which was seconded by the Rev. Dr. Howard, and carried unanimously. The. Rev. Dr. Howard said he ruse in order to call the attention of the Uteehng to a measure which, though certainly it could not alleviate the personal affliction and distress which had fallen 60 heavily upon so many families and individuals, and whtefi cast so deep a gloom over society both here and elsewhere, might still, when followed by pro per legislative enactments, have the effect of pre- venting the future recurrence of any such heart rendering catastrophe as they had witnessed in the wreck of the Rothsay Castle. If there existed a man who could contemplate the bereavements ai*d the affikliollS which had attended that awful visitation without a feeling of deep pity for the sufferers that man deserved to have no friend to comfort him while living, and no mourner to shed a tear over him when dead. To himself, who in this' melancholy catastrophe had lost a friend whose principles be admired and in whose conver- sation htf delighted, this event had produced cOÍlse quences which he must ever deplore j but when bo turned from himself alld Inoked around upon the the parents and children, the husbands and wives, whose mutual ties of affection had been so cruelly and suddenly torn asunder by this melancholy and awful casualty, be felt himself called upon to exert the strongest energies of his mind in investigating the causes which had desolved upon him the melancholy duty"of officiating in his cleyieul capa- city at the recent consignment of so many of his fellow creatures to the house appointed for all living. The result of his enquiries was that if depositions upon oath, and the solemn assertions of the survivors of. the wreck were entitled to credit, no due care nor national foresight were employed to provide against those dangor.to which every voyage of the kind in question is liable. From the information which he hadobtaillerl, it appeared that the power of the engine had been t/lll strong for the and material of the vessel, a defect which must have operated ,power fully in starting her jointings and opening her seams when exposed to rough weather. He had likewise been informed by several of the survivors that the persons to whom were entrusted the re. sponsible situation of conducting the vessel, (how, ever high their professional character might have stood) were actually in a State of intoxication on the occasion In question. He had no wish, to speak harshly of the dead, but he felt bound to takn the present "opportunity of pointing out to the living the dreadful consequences of the vice of ij1toxieation" undèr the influence of which in this instance, the p-iwers of reason and the acquire- ments of prof0isional sCieiJCe had sunk in imbeci lity. The ohr^eejt.of the present meeting was to concert uiassoieJwhkih.when followed bylegislativ* enactments, might tend to prevent the recurence of a similar calamity and in pursuance oi that object he should now read to them the petition to parliaq*ent, submittedil»y the committee for their consideration and approval.—(Dr. Howard here read the petition, which, with the resolutions will be found in our advertising columns).—The Rev. GentlemaH concluded, that, as in the instance of the Uathvay Castte, a total neglect of nil due care had led to that loss of lives, which even the dis- play of a light or the firing of a gun might bave prevented, it was now a matter of absolute neces- i,ty that enactments should be made calculated to the utmost extent of human foresight to protect life, and to punish such as should in future ell- danger it by drunkenness, obstinacy, or neglect, in the execution of their duty, In fllrthernnce of this object he had now to propose that the petition just read be adopted, signed, and presented to both Houses of Parliament, where he felt convinced it would be received with that regard which was due to the request of so highly respectable a meeting as be now saw aroundihim, assembled upon so im, portant an occasion. 1- The Deputy Mayor of Carnarvon seconded the motion, which wusput by the Chairinamtid ca, tied unanimously. J. Jervis, Esq. said that as it was of importance that as the petition should he as widely circulated as possible, he shonldmove that copies of it do lie for signature at Carnarvon, Beauuiaris, Bangor, and Conway, until Tuesday next, which was seconded by lV, W. $ parrow, Esq. and carried. Mr. Jervis next moved that Lord Boston be requested to presentlbe petition to the Lords; and the Earl of L'xbridge that to the Commolls; and that Sir R" B. W. Bulkeley, C. W. G. Wynne, Esq. and Sir C, l?oget, be,?r?qu"ted to support the prayer of the petition in the House of Commons, which was seconded by J. H. Hampton Lewis, Esq. and cirrit'd. At the (lesirgof the Chairman, the resolutions of the meetillgheld at Carnarvon were now read. The insertion yf the petition^aud resolutions in the Carnarvon HeraW, Liverpool Journal and Manches ter Guardiw, Was then moved by the Rev. J. V. Vinceni, seconded by Mr. Joseph Goddard, of Car- narvon, and adolge i John Williams, Esq. said that as the object of advertising was to give every possible circulation to the petition anil resolutions adopted, with a view to effect that object he should move that thev be inserted irt thl^North Wales Chronicle. The Rev, William Warren seconded the motion, which was then1 t>ut by the Chairman, and carried, the opponents of the North Wales Chroniolo, upon a shew of hands being left in a glorious minority, only ten hands being raised against Mr. Williams's, motion, out of upwards of 200 persons who were present at tlui-meeting. Dr. 0, O. Itohjrts here adverted to the letter of Mr. W. Watson, which appeared in our last num- bar, and which accused the Carnarvon Herald of having made false and partial statements in regard to the Rvthsay Castle. lIe pledged himself that the whole accounts contained in the Carnai von He- rald w ere strictly true. II, II, Jones, Esq. Llynon, then moved that the letter be read, which was done accordingly, when Dr. Roberts said he should put it to the meeting whether the account alluded to in regard to the terms used by Mr. Watson at the previous meeting was not really substantially correct. The Chairman stated that the meeting were now about to eater., upon the consideration of a subject which reqniredthe most calm and delibe rate attention, and in be discussion of which he trusted no angry feeling would he desplayed. As air. W. Watson had lost the confidence of the country, it was flecevjary that arrangements should be entered into with some responsible person or company to put a strong- and sufficient vessel on the station, and that the meeting should pledge themselves to support that vessel. Suchameasure was absolutely necessary in order to restore public confidence, which had been forfeited by Mr. W. Watson, in placing the Rothsay Castle oil j tlxi station. It-was evident to all who had seen her, that that vessel was every way disqualified and unseawiirthy. She had been characterised as sueli in the memorial presented by the inquest to the Voroner,alld if Mr. Watson considered himself unjustly rhmltwhh iu that memorial, the means of redress were open to film, and he (Sir R..B.) chal lenged him to resort to those means.—Since the Wreck of the Ilnthsay Castle another vessel, the Wtlliam the Fourth, had been putupbn the station, but lie hadbeetiln formed that she was both old and unfit—very little better than her predecessor. It had lieen represented tactile public in Ihe handbills that the RMISOM Cnslle was a War Office Packet, which ;was!lT^cir,¥6<caslf. Such miktepiesentation were comilfOntfohot they were nevertheless most nnjustifiM.bift., h: Mr. Jaines Wajtson bet* said that the letter of ,his bruthCJ:had,1I published in consequence of the report of, tbw previous meeting which had ap- peared in the Liverpool Journal, and Carnarvon Herald, wherein it was stated that when asked whether tbc men who, had dragged the turns from a dead body which lay under the wreck were in his employ,im had answered, "Some oflhem were" whereas 4NIr. W. Watson had informed him that his answer was, that he did not know whether any of them were. After some discussion on this subject, the Chair man recalled the attention of the meeting to the business of the day, by proposing that some re- spectable individual or company should be invited to place a fit vessel upon the station. Mr. Pita, of the firm of Watson and Pim. of Liverpool, and an agent for the St. Gemge Steam Packet .Company, now said, that although the con cern in which be wascngaged was not incorpo- rated, still to all public intents it was a company. The vessels employed bv them were the property of different individuals in diffeient places, and the management was in the hands of trustees, whose authority-was as extensive as though the different proprietors had frwed a?? incorporation Mr. Jas. Vatson and h" were agents for most of Ihes" ves- sels, and the William IV, had been chartered by them for one-month, but should that vessel not meet with the approbation and support of the pu b- lie, she should be withdrawn at the expiration of that period, although at a heavy loss to the com- pany. He was wellllcquaintetl with steam boats, and his opiniun was that the William IV was a good vessel, he did not know II better; she «as lauched in 1828, that two 511 horse power en¡¡ines, and was built of Britisii oak. Still. if she did not meet with the approval of the public, the company were willing to join lu building a new packet ex pressly for the station. The Chairman thanked Mr. Pym for the man. nor in which lie had conic forward to meet the wishes of the public, but reminded him that the resolutions of the meeting contained no special invitation to any one individual or company, but a general invitation to all who might feel inclined to come foiward. He next adverted to the certificates which had been published of the seaworthiness of the Rotliiay Castle, one of theiii signed by Mr. Spencer, of IInl) head, fts inspector of his Majes, jesty's War Office Steam Packets, a situation which lie did not hold; and also to the term War OHice Steam Puckct, which had been applied to the Rothsay Castle, although that vessel had never been employed by Government. Mr. Pim at once admitted tiiat Mr. Spencer was not inspector of the War Office Steam Packets, and stated that when he saw the name in the news- papers he had not believed it' to be that of the Same individual. 'He likewise admitted that the Rothsa» Castle was not a War Olfice Steam Packet. Mr. Preece, of Carnarvon, on rising to bring for- ward a resolution which he afterwards withdrew, said that the manner in which Mr. Pim had con ducted himself towards the meeting was highly creditable to him, but that his partner, Mr, James Watson, had too much identified himself with his brother, Mr. William Watson, who by his conduct inlhJs business-kaji,certainly; lost all public con- fidence. He groundbfliiw charge upoJi- a commu- nication which he, as iyM$tir]etor of the Carnar von Herald, had reeei^fe#. u-oiit) Captain Gal t, oil the part of Watson anf<f^m, to the effect that in consequence of the pa/ft which that journal had taken in the matter of thellrttluay Castle, their ad, vertisements should l1e'oYitlldr:twn from it. Mr. James Watson denied haviug given any such order. Captain Gait expressly denied having"made any such communication from Messrs. Watson and Pim although he had stated, as from himself that ilir. William Watson was offended at the manner in whicti his letter and the accompanying certifi cates had been inserted iu that journal, after hav ing requested that nothing offensive or personal towards hiin should appear in it, as the matter was likely to come before a court of law. John Williams, Esq, rose for the purpose of re- calling the attention of the meeting to the subject which they had been assembled to discuss. The objeot of the meeting was to adopt such measures as should have the greatest tendency to insure the safety of persons going bi sea betv. ixt that p l ace :Til;t;d\ïtobj:ctbl ¡aet I tained by a committee, lie should therefore move that a committee be appointed, to examine, with the assistance of practical men, such vessels as should be proposed for the station, and that the meeting should pledge themselves to support whatever vessel that committee should recommend. After a conversation of some length, Mr. Wil- Iiams's motion was agieed to, A list of the Com mittee, and a Copy of the Petition and Resolutions will be found in our advertising columns. Before separating, tne thanks of the Meeting were voted to the Chairman upon the motion of John Williams, Esq, and to the Treasurer, upon the motion of J. Hampton Lewis, Esq,
MURDER OF MESSRS. WM. AND…
MURDER OF MESSRS. WM. AND HUGH GRIFFITH, SONS OF JNO. GRIFFITH, ESQ. OF TRYFAN, IN THIS COUNTY. For the information of the numerous relatives and friends of these unfortunate gentlemen, we insert the following extract of II letter from Mr. Zaccheus Williams, innkeeper, Lower Town, Que bee, to John Price, Esq. Plas Caduaut, in this county Qneiec, 'M'Ah July, 1831. The Qu?bfc Mr,?ro d tbe 4d inst. which aQ- companies this, will inform you of the untimely e,.d ryo.?r two cousina, Wm, and Hugh Gi-iffit?. fybavinlt had the pleasure of being acquainted with Mr. William Griffith for these ten years past, and being, I believe, the only person irdluehec, from his part of tho country, with whom he had any acquaintance, has induced me to write to his eonnexions by first conveyance. The murderers are not yet taken, but there is no doubt but they will soon he caught, as there is an active pursuit after them. The property belonging to the Messrs. Griffith will remain in possession of the proper officers until that a regular claim can be made for it by some autborisedpersonin Quebec, A bro- ther to the Rev. Mr. Price is at present in Quebec, and will sail in a few days for Aberdovey, and any further intelligence that can be known, I shall send to you by him, however, the public papers gives all that we know as yet, nothing further can be said until those unfortunate men are taken, which I tiust will not be long. Since writing the above, it appears that the boat belonging to the Messrs. Griffith, has been left the Island of Orleans, near Quebec, and a description of the men has been ascertained, so that there cannot be much doubt of their boing soon apprehended," THE LATE MCRDER AT GOOSE ISLAND.—The fol lowing letter gives a more correct detail of the cir cumstances of this murder: "Two men, who appear to have been employed in dragging for lost anchors, have been at Goose Island for some time back, with two hired men, The employers had deposited a trunk at the house of F. Xavier Lachame dit Jolicgeur, with orders to deliver it only to themselves. The four persons when not out on the water, lodged together in a cabin in the woods. On Monday last, some of the people on the island heard a cry and a musket fired but paid no attention to it. Finding none of Ihe party coming. to ( i o- hottse, Some of them had the curiosity to go to the cabin on Friday; they found one of the employers dead among the racks, with his scnH fractured, apparently with an ,ax; alld the body of the other some way off in the vood, with a musket shot through the head. The boat was gone, and the \0 hired men had dis- appeared. All four language. A woman at the house of Jolicwur recollects that the two hired men ?am? 'to the house oil Monday) and asked ,for the trunk, but it being refused, they went away. The trunk. has:«inee been opened, in the presence of the Captain of Militia, and a packet of money amounting to about £70, Ingold, was found in it. The name of Mr. H. Griffith, of Carnarvon," was on the envelope; also, the date "lstJune," The bodies have been buried, after being visited by a Militia Officer, who will pro bably report to Quebec." Since receiving this letter we have seen Mr. Panet, the coroner, who returned this morning, having got the bodies lifted, and taken an inquest upon them. It appears that the peisons murdered are well identified to be Hugh Griffith, half-pay Lieutenant of his Majesty's Navy, and his brother William Griffith. They were known to a number of persons in town; their books on naval gunnery and tactics and literature, all bear their names, and they lately purchased of Mr. Plnnte, ferry- man, at the Island of Orleans, the boat in which thty followed their occupation, and which is also well known. The men whom they hired, and who murdered them with a view to get £70, inl their chest, were two emigrants, supposed te be Irishmen, engaged just as they landed from the vessel on one of the wharves, and unknown to their employeis. The day the murder took place, the wind was westerly, and they no doubt pro, eeeded down the river, but the strong gale from the east which blew the following day, would pro- hahly Induce them to chme up towards town.— They were Ignorant of the management of a boat and of the river, and it is hoped that they will have landed somewh?re, where being strangers, they may be looked ulah with susp!Io?, allrlllo,1 tked, One of tha Messra.

William Griffith, while a midship- man in the Royal Navy, had been employed f.,r some time with a party liiider his command, mi the Lakes and in the woods of Cahada, procuring stores for the shipping. This employnient led hi", into frequent intercourse with the Indians, whose language he speedily acquired, und by whom he was so highly esteemed tiwit several pKiposals were made to him to join one,,of their tribes, all offer which be dechncd,4ftc.r tbelleR"" he re, turned 10 Ihis country, but,whilc at home his constant cle.iI'6was to go baik amongst his old friends the Canadian Indians. In 1818 he did return to Canada, nccompn¡e,1 by his brother Mr. Hugh Gritih, and they both settled upon all estate of GO0 a.6res, named llellev uii Gloucester, on the Rideau river. In a few years they had got a considerable prfriion of their laud into cultivation and were inostxlomfortsiblv situated, when bad health compelled Mr. Hugh Griffiih to to revisit his uative country in 1823. On his re, turn to Canada in 1825, he found that his brother had neglected the estate, an-I followed the-bent of his wandering disposition by going amongst Iii" Indians, with whom he remained until about twd years ago, when he commenced constructing Ii machine of his own invenli"11 lor reCoveilng lo"t property from the bottoms of rives kc. ;llr Hnh Griffith remained upon his estate until May last when l?? ?" to Quebec on his way to this court- try to visit his parents and Friends. fli? last IQIt)"¡ dated Quebec, June 2,Stli, IS31, iiif(lrtii that in Quebec he had found his brother, who was just recovered from sickness, and had been unfor- tunate in his speculation owing to tempestuous weather, but that as soon as the weather permitted he would renew his efforts for the recovery of some property sunk in liver St. Laurence. A warm desire to be of ser. ice to his brother, and the hopu of witnessini his belter sureess in his dangerous speculation, induced Mr. Hugh Griffith to d. tei' mine on remaining with hitn a month, a, d at the expiration of that period he was led by tbe same considerations to stay another month with Wil- liam, but ere that month had elapsed, both tha brothers were murdered by the ruffians whom Wil- liam had hired as labourers, in the manner aboi* narrated.
