We have received a communication from a gentleman of Brunswick county, stating that on the 27th ult. the body of a man was discovered on Lilliput marsh. It appeared to have been dead about a week, and exhibited evident signs of having been murdered; the visage was extremely bruised, the nose beat flat, and from the unevenness of the skull, it was supposed to have been fractured. A jury of inquest had been summoned, but we have not ascertained the result of the investigation. The corpse appeared to be that of a man about forty-five or fifty years old, the head bald, hair brown, interspersed with grey--it was clothed in a thick brown surtout, a sailor's blue jacket, blue striped pantaloons, black worsted stockings, and a white woollen shirt.
