The police were early informed of the affair. but up to this afternoon have not succeeded lll apprehending tho mur- derer. Mr. Bastien surrendered himself to the authortics this morning, and is now in custody.

The reputation of the deceased was that of a brothel l'requentcr. and utter having accomplished the ruin ol ltis victim. lie is said to have boasted over ltis success in bar-rooms about the city. stating that lto came to llatuilton for the express purpose of doing thojob, and that. tile girl could shiit for herself now, as he was ttot one oi the marrying kind. These reports came to the hearing of herbrother. and are said to have oxaspotutcd him to a degree bor- dering on insanity.

(‘rinte is reaching an enormous height in the United States. Killing and wound- ing are going on all over the coutttry. A policeman was waylaid and assassinated itt cold blood. in the streets of New York. a few days a 0. Just before that, three robbers otit \ icst, while in charge of lbl.‘ law ulliccrs. were seized by the country people and hung from the nearest tree. in Memphis, in two days, there were tour shooting all'roys in which three iicgrocs were killed.

Itusit Imminent—The Irirh poor lnw report has disclosed some unexpected facts. In February last it is shown that there were 62, HS persons iii receipt of relief within the workhousc; whilst in February 1867, tlietutul number was 58,075. The outdoor paupers had also increased to H.839 iii 1868, its coin- pnred with 17, 0:57 in 1567. The dill'crcnec between the years is not serious, but a decline was rather to have been expected. The com. niissioncrs remark upon the prevalence of distress in certain ttiattul‘acturiug district! of Ireland. an accounting for tho increase, the agriculture population having been rather better circuiustnnecd titan in tltc your.

They add several important expression of opinions, as. for example, that distress occur- ring locally in certain districts has been made the object of exaggerated description! in the public press; thattho lrish farm laborer is better fed. and at far less cost. than his ro J rcsentatives in England: that his clothing much superior now to what it was before tltc famino; that more than four hundred thousand ol'thc worst class cabins have dilap- penrcd from the country; and that the “ most remarkable evidence ol'tlte approved condition of the lrish peasantry has been their compara- tive freedom front epidemic disease during the lust eighteen years."

BEAUTIEB or Anxnxnrox.—Thc Republic is an excellent country to be nuncxcd to, and following excellent reasons pcraunding thereto, are specially recommended to tile notice of those few representatives who. at caucus, tal- kcd annexation. " A Imboring Man ” writes the following to the Bangor, Me., Democrat.

For- four days‘ work in 1859 I could buy n barrel of excellent flour. For an equally good barrel now I have to work eight days.

For one day’s work in 185.9 I could buy live pounds of tea. For the same day's work I can now buy but two pounds.

For one day's work then I could buy thirty pounds of sugar. For a day's work now 1 can get but llftccn pounds.

For a day's work in 1859 I could buy eight pounds of tobacco. For a day's work now I can buy but three pounds.

For a day‘s work in 1550 I could buy liltccn pounds of eull'eo. For A day". work now I can buy but five pounds.

For one month's work in 1869 I could clothe myself and family for otic year. To do the mine new. I am obliged to work two months nitd a hall.

I might thus go through the whole list of articles that it laboring mun ttnd his family consutno. The lhrt is that we are permitted to enjoy but one-halfoftho fruits ofour labor; the other half goes to the public treasury.

I would like to know whether the General Butler, whose trumpet the last number of tile Charlottetown llcruld tnkct so much pride in blowing. is tltc individual who once issued a disgraceful proclamation in reference to the

lemales ochw Orleans. If he is the same person. then the reception he ought to receive when he comes to the Island, should be one in which our public men should take no part. Such fellow. as Butler need not think to hood- n'ink the intelligent people of this Island, and the Government had better be careful to whom they throw open the public omces. or give information, Ill well no how they waste “the public money in receiving such spies. and do- l‘raying the expenses of Delegates to a moon, shine Convention.
