Thurlow li. lirown, the pugnacious
editor of th Cuyvga L'hvf, who boasted
ia his paper of having "foottd accounts''
with several of tho " Erie rioters," was
here a few days last week. He has left,
without any marks of his prowess, or im
pression of his high literary attainments.
Another proof of the infeasibility of thc
law abolishing capital punishment and
admitting murder as a bailable offence,
was given a few days ago at Stoughton,
about fifteen miles from this place. Win.
Muqihy, an Irishman, deliberately killed
a Norwegian, by beating him on the back
of his head with an axe-handle, while the
Norwegian was lying helpless upon the
ground. Murphy gave " leg bail," but
was arrested at Wilwaukie, and examined
before Justice Lacy, at Stoughton, on thc
8th inst Thc Justice fouud that there
was sufficient evidence to warraut thc belief
that Murphy was guilty, and required him
to find bail iu the meagre sum of onc
thousand dollars, which Murphy refused
to do. Accordingly, the Justice made out
a commitment, and put it with tho priso
ner into thc hands of a constable. The

Thc Palace, of which the lieauty is much
impaired by ago, is nevertheless a very fine
building. . It was formerly occupied by the
Archbishop; bnt recently the King makes
hort rcsidene? in it during the pleasant

deed is divided betwecu tho imbecile cou

letter, in which he severely censures the
conduct of Justice Lacey, and states that
another warrant Las been issued for the
apprehension of Murpby, who he calls all
