Tho affair, Involving the aiinpcH! alsUiotinn
of a young lady r South wark, which hastrca

caused so much talk and epcculation an over
the city, ince Monday hat, has had an aw til
termination. Uutcliuon Hoberton;1,he prrrsoti

lady, list evening fell by the hand of the bra

friend on board tbeteambo John Fitch.
Tho oeerarenee took plate just a the bout,
which Jwid left Market street wharf (rbotrt -el

The name of the brother who committed this
deed is S. Mooter, a dork m therof Mosm-s.

ted that foe had been -pursuing feherton or
aome daya fftat that beprpo!ed a duel, whtoh

torriuie revenge for the outrage upon the fair
fume of his sister, and getting newsef Weber
ten's 'intended flight to Aiew Jonoy, be dak! Jris

A carringe waa iitred by a friend of Ilchcr
ton, which was driven to irrfFerent parts of the
city, when it drew up tetria friend' door. Tho
carriage waa theo drove down to the ferry4ot
John Fitch. Mercer in the weatitime got on
heard the boat, and took a aland behind a cl
Ihjx. Here lie remained amobeerved, until -the
boat arrived atCemden. He thou stepped for
ward, and presented a Te vetoing pistol, and dis
cliargH four ef jtsfarreli into the carriage.
The fird ball entered Hebertun'u body Jtist.nn
dor the left elxnflder Wade, passing through the
hrinfla of the carriage. The second penrtritted
the body, the third and fourth the dons-of ithe
vehicle. lltbeTtin was cemvoyed tto Cukeu
tavrrn where he almost immediately expired.
Young Mercer waa taken into custoily im
mediately. When the New Tork ..pilot boot
left about 11 o.'dock last night, the .coroner
jury was still investigating tho matter at Cakes'
Ta vern, and Mercer was etill in custody at tho
tavern, and in a state of great excitement.

The fallowing Timber particulars we havecatrac
ted from the Phil iJelphia coiresponJent ofthe ..
Y. Tribune :
Rumors of every character -contirme to cir
culate freely ; and it iset .impossible to learn
anything from the tnieguidei ad miserable
young girl, who has wrought so much misery
uponber friends and relatives Sarah Gardner
Mercer it being alleged that she remains in
a slate of unconsciousness, bordering on mad
ness! I have gathered a few additional (acts, which
I hasten to communicate. They ere, beyond
question, strictly correct, are as follows : On
last Christmas night, Misa Mercer first made
llebcrton's acquaintance, speaking to him in
the street, mistaking him, she save, for an ac
rmninUnce. She, however, permitted him to
accompany her home, and held interviews with
him in a clandeaiine manner, until about two
weekesince, when she informed a female ac
quaintance that she intended to tlope with a
gentleman. On Monday evening last, she cal
led at Jlr.iRichard Palmer's, aecompnnied to
the door by a young gentleman, w ho declined
going in, but preferred waiting outride. Here
Miss 11. did not remain long, tut left in compa
ri) with her friend. Thie circumstance exci
ted a little surprise-in the f unity of Mr. Palmer,
who recollected Iteratory about eloping, when
Mr. P. determined to call upon Ircr Hither and
acquaint him of the saaie. But feia warning
came too late.
Miss Mercer did notTeturn to tier parental
roof, but was next found, by m friend of the dis
tressed family, reclining in a lrpe staffed arm
chair in bouse of I.ouis O'Nefi, notorious
for its infamy. After considerable persuasion
she was induced to rettir home, but mo.'t pos
itively rehised to give any catisfsction to tier
family as to-the cause of locvingMioriie, or who
the person was fhatceompaniel her.
What followed I have already stated.
The friends of Ileberton deny that yeun?
Mercer ever Challenged him, but on the con
trary, that the deceaeed expressed his entire
willincnessto give satisfaction, but rcfui-cd'to

to the itiiT rent churches, but not to such an extent

Soi.dikk Shot. An unhappy sffiiir occurred
at the barracks yet-terday. A wildier for some
offence was sentenced to punishment He at
tempted to run away, was ordered to stop, but
not obeying, the Guard was directed, to fire
upon him. which was done. The ball; entered
near the hi p joint, and brought him down. It
is thought to-day lhat the man will recover.
The shooting a man down under such circum
stances, is, we believe, justifiable by the law.
