        The murder of the Rev. Frederick DAY, at Chihcow, was a most unprovoked affair. It appears that when Mr Day and Mr HUGHES arrived at Chihcow they recognized Bishops cart, which had been commandeered, and asked that it should be returned. An altercation ensued and although the misionaries were most civil, the soldiers fired without, however touching the missionaries, who fled to an inn. The soldiers followed, as they could not succeed in forcing an entrance, they fired through the door, hitting Mr DAY in the head. Death followed shortly. Major WILLONGHLY, Britsh Military attche, has returned to Peking with the body.
