A circumstantial account of the murder in the county of Cavan, mentioned in our last, has been furnished to us as we expected, but throws little light on the melancholy subject. It occurred on the 26th, and not on the 29th ult., as before stated. A Reward of £300 has been offered for the disco- very of the perpetrators, and a proportionate sum for information tending to lead to such discovery. The wounds which occasioned the death of the unfortunate man, appeared on his forehead and cheeks, and were supposed by the surgeon who attended the inquest, to be inflicted by a blunt instrument. The verdict of the Coroner's Jury was wilful murder against some person or persons unknown. Mr. Smith, the deceased, our correspondent adds, was a man of some property, an excellent character, and liked by all parties. So great a favourite was he in the country, that it is supposed by some his death was accidental, and not perpetrated by human hands. He bore no other marks of violence than those above described, nor were his clothes in any way disturbed or torn. His money, papers, and watch, were in his pockets when found. We understand that no persons have yet been charged with, or committed for the offence.

SUPPOSED MURDER AT ROSTREVOR.
(From the Newry Telegraph.)
Great alarm and anxiety have been excited by the disappearance of a worthy young fellow named Peter Kelly, of Ballyaghley, near Rosstrevor, on the night of last Christmas. He had been drinking at a shebeen house kept by one Douney, and was accompanied, on his return home, at ten o'clock, by two friends, not intoxicated, a short distance from his father's house. There, however, he did not appear, nor has he since been heard of. A day or two after Kelly's extraordinary disappearance, a great number of neighbours assembled, and proceeded to make a search for his body in every place where he possibly might have been lost ; the search has been continued for several days, hitherto without the least success.
A most minute inquiry into the circumstances relating to this mysterious case took place at Narrow-water, on Friday last, before Roger Hall, William James M'Guire, James Read, and Trevor Corry, Esqrs. The investigation continued the whole day. Two persons have been taken up on suspicion, and, for the present, they remain in close confinement. Several other particulars that have come to our knowledge we forbear to notice,at least until the labours of those active Magistrates shall be concluded, confident that the hand of Divine Providence will direct them on whom to fix the charge of this foul and wicked deed.

MURDER.--A shocking murder was committed on Sunday, between Rathangan and Kildare, on the lands of Dunmurry, where at an early hour, a man named Fitzgerald was murdered by cutting his throat. The murderer is known, and the utmost vigilance is being exercised to cause his apprehension. A mounted policeman arrived at the Head Office yesterday with this intelligence. We have not yet learned further particulars.--Patriot.
