HORRIBLE MURDER BY CONVICTS
iN CARRICKFERGUS JAiL.
One of the most inhuman and cold-blood-
ed murders by which society has ever been
outraged in Ulster, wan perpetrated in the
County Prison at Carrickfergus, yesterday
mnrsing, upon a parson named John
Pearce, ennfined there under „a rule of
transportation for seven years eonsegnent on
his conviction for larceny. The murderers
are four of hi. fellow -convicts. The cir-
cumstances of the crime, as they were die.
eloeed at the inquest, held before J. K.
Jackson, Esq., coroner, and a jury, wero as
follow.:—
From some cause, hitherto unexplained,
prisoners under sentence of transportation
hate been allowed to accumulate in this jail
for warty two years past, until there are
now about sixty perones of that class cnn-
flo.d in a prison of very limited aeenmme.
dation., and guarded by a very small staff
.:f oificers. Abet a month ago, considera-
ble insubordination ezaisteJ among a por-
tion of these prisoners, in a part of the jail
which is termed the "silent ward." The
riagl.aders were rur,irhed, and the distur-
bance put a stop to; but a baJ spirit evident-
ly continued to pervade the prisoners. and
rendered closer iigiiance necessary nn the
part of their keeper.. One of the principal
ringleaders of the turbulent was the deceas-
ed: but it appeared that the example made
of him ted his associates, and'an admonition
from the governor, had indeeed him to keep
aloof from them .ince. Thin excited the
•espicinne of the other convicts, who, it
is believed, were planning a convener, to
effect their escape, that he was practising a
.y.torn of evenii ng° npnn • them. This
made them anxious to get rid of him, even
by murder if necessary. A convict, named
William M'Guigan, heard another named
Thomas Johnston, threaten, before ■ third
rented, named John Campbell, that the,
' would make a monument of Pearce, and
leave him linable to tell who did it." Early
yesterday morning. the convict; were seen
whispering in their yard, and Canspbell in

TIIE CONVENTION.
Slaving attended the late convention at
Kingston, we teepees it will be expected
that we will express an opinion of the pro-
ceedungs oL that body. Well then, to be
candid, we were disappointed. From (be
circulars sent out by the Montreal Branch,
and the explanations given by the City
Journal'', and otherwise, we were of the
mentors That it was to be a bed/ of indepen-
dent men, who would meet Ingelher, and
laying aside party politic., consult togeth-
er for the good of Canada ; and believing
thus we were anxious that the Emitters
Townships shoal., be fully represented.—
When arrived at Kingston, at one o'clock.
nn Wadne.day, we found some 40 or 50
delegates assembled in preliminary meeting
when it was settled who were to bo the of-
ficers of the Convention, an,; an attempt
made to determine whet questions "bored
and what should not be thecn.eed. The
proposition to meet with closed door was
loudly opposed, but when it was (mind ,het
conflicting opininna were enteraineJ by
the delegates, and that probably the debates
would be very exciting, it was agreed to

given to compare notes, and agree upon
the proper subjects, far di.cusrion. it was
daring the discussion with closed doors that
the reel objects of the leading deleg*tea
from Upper Canada were evnwed, and to
turn out lite present .Ministry and restore
the Conservative or Tory party to power
appeared to be their Alpha and Omega. —

ESSAYS ON WAR.—NO.v.
Terga are, on times: every subject of dispute,
certain points or firm principles, upon which men
eeneral!y agree—Ihrse are a kind of extents
which present themselves in such a clear and for-
cible manner that it would be very difficult to
render them mon deer or forcible by any process
of rea.nning. Suppo.e, for Melones, that ■ man
should persist in maintaining that there is no
metal guilt in wilfully desrrnying the Ideal a
fellow man, there might be much trouble io
bringing forward demimsirative evidence nn the

Rut. fortunately, we han on this sohju ct whet
answer, all the parpnse• of argument equally se
well as a •elf -evident troth, •nd that is, the
comm°u comet e! mumbled. Men of all coos-
trie.and roach. admit that murder, or the wilful
serf deliberate destruction of human life, is moral-
ly wrong. Nay, it is even admitted that no a-
mount of injury or pro,oeetion short eIa attack
open our ow• lives can justify os in tskiag the
life of another—and in the face of these admis-
sions, we cannot conceive any posr,hle circum-
stances in which war could be justified. What
