TRAGICAL EVENT- The In West- field Register contains an account of an unhappy occurrence which took place in Bland- 1.... imu mi 1 nutty me otii inst. (lae day 011 which the 4th regiment was reviewed in that place,) the particulars of which, are orieny as tonows A man by the name ot Asa Hayden entered the public house of Can- lain isaac i.ioyu, ana asuea lor a glass ol li quor, wliicn being retused, he insisted upon entering the bar. Capt.

Lloyd expostulated with him, slated that his wife was dangerously sick, and urged him to leave the "Wise. Deaf to his entreaties, he persevered in his efforts to enter the bar, but was repeatedly pushed back, when he drew a dirk which he had concealed about his person, and made a pass at Capt. Lloyd, without wounding him. and then at a Mr. Bradley, (who had come to the assistance of the landlord) whom he slabbed in the left side.

At this juncture a Mr. Root seized an andiron from the fireplace gave Hayden 'a blow upon the head which felled him to the floor, and severely wounded him. While the surgeon, who had been cailed, was dressing the wounds of Mr. Bradley, Hayden leaped out of the room, and was followed by two men named Clark and Edwards, who soon "came up with him. Hayden immediately drew a knife, (having broken his dirk in the previous affray) and stabbed both of them in the abdomen, one of them il is supposed mortaily.

He then effected his escape to his house, where he armed himself with two" loaded muskets, and threatened death. to the first person who should attempt to enter. Several unsuccess-1 1 1 i euoris were inane to take mm, wnen a favourable opportunity ottering he made his escape and has not since been heard of. A reward oi fifty dollars has been offered for his apprehension. IJe is about 5 feet 9 inches h) height, stout built, and light complexion.

P. S. The Berkshire Star of Oct. 20. says.

that Hayden has been arrested that he had passed through that place for Hampden county to await his trial. The late accident, of the J. Q.

Sept.

24, 1825. oli To the tli'itur of the county of Eat TTlELLOWCiTlZENS: The con'stitution-? al term of the present incumbent, being about to expire, I have upon due consideration, and at the solicitation of many of you, concluded to oti'er myself as a candidate for the oilice of sheriif, at tiie ensuing election. In placing my name before you for so high and responsible a trust, I do not predicate my hopes of success 011 political distinctions, or party predilections, but rely on the public sentiment of the people, reiative to my qualifications for the faithful performance of my oilicial duties; these are well knovvii to most of you by my former services i'a that station. Perhaps no period can be referred to in the political history of this county; when the public mind has been so happily freed from the influence of party excitement and party organization, or when it has been so much disposed to encourage a fair and honourable competition among the numerous candidates for public otlict'S, as it is at the present lime. There is nothing in the great objects which at present engage the attention of society, calculated to cherish or promote political controversy or party contests.

New objects have latterly arisen altogether disconnected with the subjects of former hostility, and a general wish to advance the public good, has overcome or absorbed the recollection of past controversies. The great body of the people appear grateful to all parties for whatever of good they may accomplish, and with these feelings to be mainly intent on the great concerns of their present or future interest. In the prosecution of these benevolent designs, it is not to be presumed they will be so unwise as to paralize their efforts by an adhesion to party prejudices, or by indulging in angry reflections upon past differences, the subjects of which have now ceased to exist. New parties may indeed arise from new e-vents but the old ones cannot long remain under the present liberal and enlightened state of Dublic feeling with whatever zeal and perseverance efforts may be made to sustain systematic controversies about men, you will not support them when the causes of contention have ceased. The General Government has long been upon the most conciliatory principles, regardless ot political distinction or party association, and the public mind is at present disposed to union and harmony, a sentiment that must meet with the entire approbation with all who are actuated by a regard for thepubiic welfare.

Prejudices of every kind are yielding to liberal sentiments and to the justice. and expediency of a magnanimous policy, and if we advjert to the lessons of experience it cannot remain a question on which we'll dis-. posed and intelligent minds can diffeiywheth-cr the virulence of party feelings "is a desirable ingredient in the composition of society, or whether it is in any sense conductive to the highest degree of public happiness and prosperity. Fellpw Citizens: Believing this to be the existing state of public sentiment in this county, I submit to yodtojadge of my qualifications. Knowing that you will act discreetly and independently 111 the exercise of that invaluable the right of suffrage.

It is unnecessary for me to give any assurances of the manner in which the duties of the office shall be fulfilled, should I succeed in obtaining it. On this subject, shall only observe, that in case I prove the successful competitor, it will be the object of my ambition so to discharge the duties of the office, as to justify all reasonable expectations, and, secure to myself your undivided confidence aad approbation, i Spt.l7183f af to 'v that the firmness of the Canal Commission- ers obliged them to vieid, at least so tar as to make the appearance of one. If, as the Ca nal Commissioners ay in tlteir report to the iegislalnre, the navigation to builalo can made as in our opinion, through the liasu: at ts.ack tttick, as through, a sepa rate Canal, we arc unab'e to account lor the inadequacy ol tlie woi it upon iair prni-cipies, especially as it has ttscn made under the s'lpenntcidance of an Engineer possess ing the skill and experience Roberts.

This painting was taken to New-York in the titid'ut boat.

CTWe learn from Jockport, that there was an arrival extraordinary there on the morning of the 2ti! inst. A boat irom Black Kock, laden with hopes and fears, under huh pressure steam, (Gen. P. B. Porter, said lo he.

supercargo, consignee, and master.) on answering the hail of the Loi-k-fci-eper, and ileing brought to by the informalities of her clearance papers, it was thought inexpedient to sutler her passage through the Locks until tile celebration boats from Buifalo should ai-ive. On tiie arrival of theSENECACHIEF, villi the exr.cu'i of the fct.ite, the New-York, Rochester, fcc. the informalities attending toe clearance and departure of the above mentioned boat from Rock, were so far overlooked in consideration of the wish not to mar lite of the day, as to p-rmit her afier she had discharged an abundance of steam.) to fol low in the wake of omrr boats, and proceed on her original ilostimiliou.

ooonoooo CWe shall not uuuertake to act as censors over tiny Press but our own; but we must be permitted to state, and we do it advisedly, that the B.iifalo Journal does not speak the sentiments of -the party, to which it has professed to belong, in relation to the coining election. We stale tlie.s,: tacts that the public may not be misled in the preiuis-es. Durhig the late storm, HO or 80 feet of the canal towpath, in the Black Rock Harbor, was carried oft'. It is saitl that some vessels have been lying in that harbor some days, waiting for a hurricane, or horn breeze, to help tiiem out Grekce. The accounts from this interesl- iiigquartcmre more gratifying tiian those last received, lt is stated in several letters un der date of Corfu, August 11th and lath, and 01 ante, Aug.

nth, tliata second attempt had been made on Missolongbi by the Turkish forces under Romeli Yulessi, amounting to upwards of men, assisted by a sea lorce ot 4000 men in boats under the Captain Pncha but that the brave Greeks had re pulsed them with great loss. Several thou sand of the Turks were slaughtered and the remainder fled, pursued by tiie Greeks, behind thein a vast ii iamity of anini.i- tiou and baggage. During the assault, the Greek fleet under Miaulis arrived, burnt a Turkish, frigate and two brigs, and took a brig and nine bunts iub 01 troops, a he Cap-idm Pacha retired to Patras, and afterwards left the coasls of Western Greece. The en tire loss of the enemy was estimated at 9000 men. It is further stated that Ibrahim at Tripolizza, is surrounded nndv.nnot escape.

The above intelligence which is given on the a thority of an Austrian schooner of war, an English frigate, and a Greek merchant vessel, and appeared in the German papers, which nave always represented the aifatrsot the Greeks in the most gloomy aspect may, we think, be fully l'Slied on. It is further stated that Sacht; iris, with 28 ships, and lofire-sltips, under Canaris, has gone to attack, in the port of Alexandria, the Egyptian fleet preparing there for another expedition. the London Courier ol the 9th s-avs, that a great sensation had been produced in that city by letters from Singapore, dated April 9th which stated "the report of the complete subjugation of the Birman Empire by the British forces, and the capture of its gofden footed monarch and his capital, Ammerapoo-ra." The accounts lately received at this port from Calcutta which were as late as the 0th of April, represent the state ot Indian ad'airs in a different light, and iuduce us to question the intelligence stated to have been received in London. The London papers say that two large steam boats were preparing for Lord Coch-rune's expedition which was ex pected to sail in about two months. A Glasgow journal also mentions that a frigate for the use ot the Ureeks, had been purchased and fitted out at a French port, and would soon set sail for Hydra.
