12 r'T.""r, HORRIBLE TRACEIIY IN NEW ORLEANS. \Vc learn from the Meta Orleans Picayune of the r,tif inst., that on the previous afternoon a horriable tragedy was enacted in the vicinity of Baronne and tiirod streets. The victim was a beautiful girl about seventeen years of age, whO is supposed to h av e been murdered by a man 'united Joseph Brad-- icy, captain of schr. Friendship, and who, after committing the deed, made un unsuccessful attempt upon his own life. Mrs. King, the landlady of the house in which the events occurritd, states that Brad ley and the girl had occupied apartments in her house r bout a month, passing as man and wife.-- She further states that BA were lying on the bed most of the time during Oil forepart of the day (yes terdaYi) and were on the bed at about J 2 o'clock, r. hen she went out to do some shopping. She (Mts. King) returned home about 2 o'clock, or little after, and soon after entering the house she heard a moan proceeding from Bradley's room. She \\ cot to the door, thinking that one of them was sick, and opening it she saw Bradley lying on the floor io a pout of blood. She was frightened end thought him dead, and did not at that time see the woman. She called at Mrs. Smith, she liveairi the rear, and on coming, back to the room saw that the woman was also lying _on the floor dead. Some persons passing were immediately called in, and the police sere sent fur. Bradley was found to be living. a nd Dr. Meux was called in tintrdreSECO his woends.— He was at this time perteetly itw.fisible,but became conscious - before, half-past 4 o4oelf, at which time the Coroner art iced. A, large crowd of people had now gathered around the house and the excitement was inter-e.' The scene presented, in the room where the bloody work had been pofurnied,).xas the most horrible ue ever looked upon. The gqi; with out-stretched hands as, if she had supplicated for mercy to the last, In) , in one corner of the room .in a gore of blood, her hands, face, and throat mangled iu the most shocking manlier, and in another curner laid Bradley, presenting scarcely a less ghastly spec tacle. A knife and razor, with which the terrible deeds had been committed, laY upon the floor as if to complete the picture[, A past Morton examination was held upon the body of the girl, when it was found that she had received five wounds, all appar ently inflicted n ith a knife, awl two °Ohm mortal. Her throat etas cut upon the left side, the carotid tery being, se \ ered, the knife:having rassed around far enough lose\ er the Uitulpipo also. She was ' o,h : id in the Icft side, the - knife penetrating the 0111E11ton and u vending the outer coat of the stom ach, and her hands were cut in several places, as if she had attempted to defend herself against the knife. She also received a large gash across the chin. The jury of inquest, after matur e, deltberation, brought in a verdict, that, the girl died of the wounds abate described, inflicted B 9 thee believe, by the hands of Ji.sepli Bradley. It is the general supposi tion that 13rddley used the knife in committing the mnreler, cod afterwatds in stabbing himself, using the razor at'tem arils to eat his own throat. He was Nabbed in the left side of the adowen in difrererit places, nail his throat wr.s pretty badly cut. The winfluls in the Lb,ttlif ) (l are very serious, and at the time v. e left the spot the doctor thought there was little chance of reco‘ery. The cause which led, to these terrible results is supposed to have been jed nnsy. The name of the unfortunate girl is Fanny Daley, but she has also been known as Fanny Young . , and more recently as Mrs. Bradley. We helie e she is a 'lathe of St. Louis, having been in New Orleans hut' about two years. We do not know how lows she Las been nconainted with Brad- ley, but we a inf,rtned that she has lived with him as Ii Wit: only about a month; Bradley is the commander of the schf , Oner Friendship, advertieted for California. to leai,e last , evening. We learned that he put Ow girl on hoard a bunt, a few days -tince, to send her to'her friends in St. 'Louis, and that after going tip as far as Donaldsonville she re -4 'treed, with a determinalionlilgo to California with Bradley. Whether this be true, or whether ho was avor , e to her gi4ing or not, we cannot learn., A jealousy on the part of Bradley appears to have- ex ited for several days, and ue believe that a difficul ty, which resnlied,in blows, took pace on Sunday last.

The Traveler says that Professor Bronson is the author of these discoveries, and - that his -practice consists entirely in manipulation. Professor Brunson is welt known in this and other cities, as a lecturer upon elocution, and has opened an office in New York, for medical practice upon the eye, in which we wish him suc cess. But whilst giving credit to Professor Bronson for his . effurts in doing good, and while admitting that. his method of treating the eye is original with him self, we do tint admit that he was thefirst discover • ' er. The very treaimeut ascribed to him for restor ing decayed sight, was discovered long ago by John Quincy Adams, and successfully practiced on him self.

Mr. Adonis, did not communicate his discovery to the world, but mentioned it incidentally, and as of no great miportence, to two or titr •e friends in the course of, his life. We certainly wonder at him and them, for not perceiving its general wilily.— I Mr. Adams never wore spectacles, his sight elide { ring to the last.

Under this head, we find in the Pennsylvania of a recent date, 'a condensed synopsis of tiff - article in tbe Westminster Review, which exhibits the condition of Ireland in so wretched a slate. and tut every thing rela ting to the people of that unhappy country is read with interest by their sympathising friends_ bore, we do not hesitate to copy it. The Miele. says the Pennsylvanian cannot be aicused'of exaggeratiori. Considering Its par ticular position In politics, and its reference to official evidence. It supine that Ireland. last yetir cost the Bri tish poGlic, independent of private contribution and poor rates, some £lo,ooo,ooofor the direct retie of her star ving Foos—besides the maintenance of large militay and police forces. The goat of relieving this starving poor largely ezceeds the whole annual expenditures of the go ! regiment of the United States, excluding extra war ex penses. Destitution Itas greatly inereaSed—nearly all the small farmers are converted into paitpers—there is nothing left on the land to take for rates, thus producing the necessity (says the review) "of supporting a large proportion of the population of the islatid, l on what they call in Ireland 'imperial resciurces'—ini plain English, on'pithlic mo n ey levied from the hard ehrnings of Bri tigh industry." In all the island, out of an area of 20,808,171 acres, only 5,213,575 To under crop or til- Inge, so as to give employment to the I lpeople. There are eight millions of acres of pasture, does not afford employment to ono-sixth of the. labor nor grow one4hird of the amount of produce, that it would, if worked under n good system of tillage. There arc about six millions and a qtiarter of 'eagle land, of which four millions are euelaisnable. Such of the existing tenant ry as have capital, are itOw forced to conceal it, or to carry it off to America. -The cultivated land ,itself is deteriorating and diminishing in extent farmers being either forced to give 'if h i t order to qualify under the quarter-at:li lief asp/viers; or uttaido to bear up rig tion of their landlords, and the poor-rate with successive bad seasons, ,are desert inedespair, and carrying off wliat little pr scramble together to America. The cause of this deplorable comlidition of things is declared to be well known to Parliamen and the world; successive prime ministers have declared it; and nobody denies it. It is found in the fact:. that dm land is in the hands of nominal and tunbarr .sled proprie tors, who either rennet or will not, themielvee, improve their o•tates, or allow such terms of tenure as will , induce others to intprovo them, and carry on a system of cultivation.— Estates are entailed; thelreal value of, a large portion of them has long Millen been obtained and Spoilt by the pre decessors of the present nominal owners. i'Vhile, in general, being deeply Mortgaged; in the hands of the mortgagees, other creditors, or in chancery, .the ember rassetyandlord has no money to expend upon improve metats,l imp his necessities compel him to extort the high est teripterary rent ho can obtain.
