Major Murray and Mr. Roberts, of Northumberland-street, have pecuniary transactions

together. Mr. Roberts watched Major Murray this day, about eleven o'clock, into his office, and, during an angry altercation, took up a pistol and fired it, inflicting two bullet wounds in'the neck. Major Murray took up the poker, and smashed in Mr. Roberts's head, and made his escape. He was seen by Mr. Ransom, .who occupies apartments in the same house, who led him to Charing- cross Hospital, while the police entered the house and took charge of Mr. Roberts. Nothing more distinct is known of the affair, bat both parties are in great danger.
