ANOTHER DOMESTIC TRAGEDY. MURDER OF TWO CHILDREN BY THEIR FA.THHL SUICIDE OF THE MURDERER.. Another of those fearful tragedies, which have lately shocked the public feeling by their frequency, as well as by the horrible nature of their details, was brought to light this morring, and was the means of converting the Blackfriars-road and the adjoining streets into a scene of intense excitement, causing thousands of people to assemble around the house in which it had occurred, and forming the universal topic of conversation. The details of this sad event will beet be gathered from the following authentic nairative, which is thoroughly reliable in every particular. For the last four years, or nearly so, a married man, named Joseph Mockford, has occupied apartments in the house, 189, 1 3 / a ckfriars-road, the other portions of which were and are in the occupation of a gentleman named Pearce, who shrive entertained the highest respect for his lodger, and who now speaks of him in the highest terms of praise as a steady and respectable man, a loving husband, and a doating father. He filled a confidential situation in the service of Mr. Meredith, of the saw mills, Bankside, with wages and perquisites avenging about V. ss. per week. He had three children, two girls and a boy, an infant ; and he lived • happy life enough until the end of April last, white his wife died after a very brief Ulnae, and he at once became an altered man, moody, mlierable, and gloomy And frequently, in vague terms, expressing an int en ti on o f ma ki ng away w i t h 1 himself. To these threats, however, his friends attached no very serious importatoe, supposing that time would re concile him to the loss of his wife, and that he would gra dually resume his former habits. Unfortunately there now appears to have been but too much meaning in these an nouncements of his intentions ; and it is to be regretted that they did not command the serious attention of his relatives. Upon the death of his wife, his sister resigned a situa tion in the City, and at hie desire went to keep house for Mockford, and take care of his two elder children. The youngest, an infant, about six weeks old, he committed to the charge of its grandmother by the father's side. This arrangement appears to have worked to his entire satisfaction, and on Sunday last it was agreed that Mockford, with his two eldest children, should take tea with the mother of his late wife, that he should sleep at her house that night, and that the children should be left there for a day or two. while his sister was to go to her mother's, and stay there for a similar period. The sister accordingly went on her visit, and it was supposed that Mockford and his children had gone on theirs, as it is to be wished they had done. Mock ford, according to this arrangement, should have returned home to sleep on Monday, but did not do so, and as, when Tuesday, came he still remained absent, Mr. Peens thought it only prudent to send to his sister to ascertain when he would be likely to return. The reply was that the sister had not seen him since she left home on Sunday, but that she would immediately go to his father-in-law's, to inquire there. She went herself, and found, to her great surprise, that Mockford bad not been there at a". Upon this, the whole family became greatly alarmed, and making their way to the Blackfriars-road, the father and mother, sister and sister-in-law, roused up Mr. Pearce, who had gone to bed, and obtained admission to the house. After some deliberation a policeman was called in, and the whole party proceeding upstairs broke open the door of the second Boor front, which was Moekford's sitting room, and the fret flash of the light they carried revealed the sickening details of a revolting tragedy. For there upon • chair close to the window sat the Velem and pirtially clothed body of Moekford himself, and upon the hearth. rug lay the bodies, stiff and ghastly, of his two little girls. The policeman at once sent to the nearest station, and a very few senates brought an inspector sod other officers, as well as Mr. Henderson, the divisional police surgeon. This latter gentleman at a glance decided that the children bad died from the effects of poison, and a minute more !sufficed to show that the death of the father was the result of several stabs in the abdomen, the weapon trod being a carving knife which, covered with blood, was lying on a chair close by. Upon a more minute inspection of the apartment it be eameapparent that Mockford had acted with full deliberation in taking the lives of his children and himself. The children, it is known, were rather partial to castor oil as a medicine, and on the chair before referred to as having a carving knife upon it (there was also a fork) was a teacup, contain ing a little castor oil, with some sediment at the bottom, the remains, it is presumed, of poison, which bad been adminis. tered in the oil. There was also a phial lying undor the table, which it is presumed had contained that poison be fore it was mixed with the oil, although the exact nature of it has not yet been discovered. The two poor children were named respectively Cathe rine and Emily—the former being seven and the latter four years old. When their bodies were discovered one was lying on her face and the other on her left ans. The action of the poison seems to have been rapid, and so great was the change from their natural appearance, that Mr. Henderson at first imagined them to have been dead for three or four days, and he could hardly believe that they had been seen alive on Sunday. By the side of their bodies two pillows were found lying —one with sod the other without a case, the latter being completely Wa nted with blood ; and this, together with the general appearance of the room, leeds to the supposition that Moak ford was kneeling on the pillows, looking at his children, when he inflicted the stabs which brought about his own death, and that afterwards he dragged himself to the chair by the window, and sat there till he bled to death. The stab must have been in flicted with the utmost coolness and determination. He had 00 only his trowsers, shirt, and flannel st;ict7The first were loose about him, and the shirts—which have no perforation over the stabs—malt have been lifted and held up with one hand, while he struck the knife into his abdomen five or six times with the other ; so that every appearance warrants the conclusion that he bad long contemplated the terrible deed. It should be added that under the table was found a chamber-utensil containing apparently some vomit matter, and it is thought probable that he in the first instanco attempted to poison him self, but that, throwing up the poison, he then bad recourse to the carving knife. The vomit matter was at once sealed up by the direction of Mr. Henderson. who, while we *cite, ia engaged with another medical man in making a post reorient examination of the babes. Mockford was 35 years old, and up to the death of his wife, on the 27th of April lut, a strong and healthy man. THE FLOOD IN THE PENS. (FROM OCR SPECIAL RIPORTER4 LYNN, TUESDAY NIGHT. Considerable alarm has been caused by the dis covery that the hole which has been found to be scoured near the Wash-bridge (opposite the first breach which was stopped up by Mr. E. Holmes, of the Norfolk Estuary), is considerably larger and more serious than was at first thought. Yesterday the result of dipping pve some inti mation of the fact, bat the full realisation was not made till a diver went down. It appean that the hole which was scoured is five or six chains long, and about five or six feet lower than the bottom of the drain, penetrating the side of the drain to an extent of from fifteen to twenty feet. It ear thought th►t this bole was scoured by the water which gained admission into the cut through the bunting of a culvert, but the examination by the diver at once upset that hypothesis, and the culvert beyond poesible leakage was found to be all right. The water moat thLrefore enter the drain through the lower part of the breach. which was supposed to be well stopped up. The culvert consists of a pipe about two feet six in diameter, and it has been found that the centre of it rests upon the bed of the cut, whilst the sides have been undermined. Loose earth and earth in bags are being thrown into the bole. and every effort that can possibly be put forth is being made to prevent its extension, and fill it up. This hole is considerably larger than the first one discovered. Ye.terilay on the part of the Marshland commissioners, 31r. Page, C.E., made a thorough examination of the hanks of the dr.ian in which those commissioners were intended, with what results we have not been informed. It is posi tively asserted that all the loose earth which has been de posited in the inside of the dam has bees washed away by the scours, and the practice of dropping sacks of earth in has not been adopted, so far as the inside of the dam is concerned. Rumour is current that the principal piles are giving way in the centre of the dam, but every means which can be ago- . plied are being adopted to make the work substantial, so far as an unprofessional man can judge.

Mr. Lawrence, for the assignees, did not oppose the grant ing of the order of discharge. Inquiry had been made as to a bill of sale executed by the bankrupt, and as to a settle ment on the bankrupt's wife ; and the value of the bank rupt's interest in this settlement was returned at 51. only. Mr. 011une opposed, on the ground that the bankrupt hal been in parWership with Mr. Moson, and had rendered no partnership accounts. Mr. Linklater, for the bankrupt, said the partnership bad terminated in 1857. The bankrupt was examined as to a bill of sale which he bad given to his aunt in June last. A few days after judg ment had been obtained against him in the county court by a creditor, he had given in payment cheques on the London and Westminster Bank, knowing that his former cheques had been dishonoured, but he expected that there would be aose4s. The advance made on the bill of sale had been re tained by Mr. Cave, who applied it in discharge of a debt' doe to himself. Believed that the affairs of Dobie and Moron had begs wound up. Such sanste as were not realised were in his balance-shat. He had released Mr. Mixon. The furniture comprised M the bill of sale had remained in his house at Highbury, and was afterwards removed to Twickenham. He had not the enjoyment of it. for he was in the Queen's Bench at the time. (Laughter.) 30W. was advanced a day or two before the bill of sale was given, and there was an antecedent debt of 4031. There were writs out against him then. He was endeavouring to make a compromise with his creditors, and be kept out of the way for that purpose. Mr. Farrar opposed for Captaia Cole. Bankrupt, further examined, said be did not bold a lease of No. Z 3, WoLsepterraos, Kentish-town, on behalf of Cap tion Cole, who bad advanced 3031. on the property. Had written toC►ptela Cole, acknowledging that be held the leaae. The money was advanced to Mr. White, who still owed it to Captlin Cole. Captain Cole bad not got the lean nor a mortgage of the property. In July, 1859, Captain Cole had advanced 400/. to Mrs. Dobie, his aunt, and deeds were deposited as security. The deeds afterwards came into his bands. and he bad not returned them. 2031. of the ken had been repaid ; be had not received the whole of the 4031. for repayment to Captain Cole. The bankrupt was examined at great length as to the items in his w e/ruts._ (The ease was prooseding when oar repot t left.] THE POLICE COURTS. (THIB DAY.) wasrmrturrint. .110111101136 AT THE TABU Daniel Collins was charged witiiPi7k4; lady's pocket at the Exhibition, and Henry Thomas with receiving the property. Joseph Gough, 468 X, said he was on duty List evening outside the Exhibition in plain clothes. Observing the two prisoners loitering about he watched them. It was about 7 o'clock,when a greet many persons were leaving the building, and Collins, mixing in the crowd, tried several ladies' pockets; be lifted up their dresses and folt their pockets. He then went to the door of an omnibus as persons were getting into it, lifted up a lady's dries and took a purse from her pocket. Mr. Arnold asked where the other prisoner was at this time ? ---- Witness replied that he bad been in company with Col lins all the time, and after Collies had taken the purse from the lady's pocket he handed it to Thomas. The latter then emptied the contents of the purse into his pocket, and threw the parse over a fence. Mr. Arnold observed that Thomas should have been charged with stealing the purse as well as Collins, as they were both acting in concert. Witness said that while the ladies were getting into the omnibus Thomas was busily engaged trying to pick pockets. Mr. Arnold asked whether they bad ascertained the amount the prisoners stole. Witness replied he had not, es in the confusion the lady got into the omnibus, and was driven away. Prisoners were remanded. Inspector Holden said there was another charge against Thomas. DESPERATE ENCOUNTER OF AN IRO/MASTER WITH HIS I)oG.—One of the strangest 0000ITOOCHI hap pened to Mr. Ambrose Hughes, of the firm of Hughes and Son, ironmasters, of Bradley, near Balaton, • night or two ago, with such perilous results that his life is despaired of. That gentleman has • large bull and mastiff dog to guard his residence, and, as wee usual, he unfastened the dog at night. The dog bounded into • field, as he was wont to do, and scampered away. After wandering about, he espied something getting under the railing, and as it was his master in a heeding position, with his hat towards the dog, and it being quite dark the dog did not recognise him, and commenced a desperate attack on him, which he continued until he almost tore Mr. Hughes to pieces. The flesh was torn mid bitten all over the body to such an extent that Mr. Hughes's life is almost beyond hope. He vainly endea voured to get away from the dog but could not do so till be succeeded in getting his pocket-knife out, with which he desperately cut the animal. Mr. Hughes was seat morn ing found exhausted on the ground, the dog lying almost dead some distance away. Dr. Best attends Mr. Hughes. The dog has been kept alive. The least that can betel Mr. Hughes from this awful encounter will be the lies of his legs, it is mid.—MarwAviter Examiner. A You:Tx:rum Coars NEARLY POlSONED.—Con siderable excitement was clawed in Skiptou yesterday by the rumoured poisoning of nearly forty members of the Burley Volunteer Corps. It appears that the corps visited Skipton yesterday under the command of Captain Forster, for the purpose of taking part in a rifle contest, and on their arrival between forty and fifty partook of bread and cheese at the Black Horse. They were subsequently seised with violent pains and the symptoms of poisoning, and shout Testy of the cases assumed • serious character. The greater number of the men, however, afterwards rallied, and, with the exception of four, were enabled to return to their homes. The four are expected to recover, but the state of two causes some anxiety. ST. THOMAS'S HOSPITAL—After a very long and severe contest with the authorities of the South Eastern Railway, and many disappointmenta in o btaini ng a su it a bl e site in the sweet of • determination being come to, to remove the hospital, the governors have at length been enabled to adopta course which it may be hoped will prove sstisfactory to all parties concerned. The Royal Surrey Gardens, situate in Walworth, and about a mile and • quarter from the three great metropolitan bridges (London, Blaokfriara, and Westminster), will in the course of a very short time be the spot on which St. Thomas's Hospital will be erected, all the arrangements for the purchase-money having been made and the usual amount of deposit lodged. It will be of course some little time before the ground can be cleared and the new building raised, but there will be no unneces sary delay, and in the course of • few months the patients of St. 'Thomas's Hospital will be in a position to be removed from the noisy neighbourhood of a complicatiou of railway stations to the more peaceful shades of Walworth. The site now occupied by the hospital will be devoted to the porpc of the South Eastern Railway Company. es `al.

SOCIAL SCIENCE CONORESS.-(THIS DAY.) The various sections met this morning at Guild hall, but, with one exception, the attendance Irma very small, and the proceedings were not of an interesting cha ncier. The Social Economy Section, however, secured a large audience, which consisted almost exclusively of ladies, the special attraction being the reading of a series of papers on the social condition of women, nine out of ten of the promised mays appearing in the programme in the names of Wiwi, amongst which were the familiar names of Bessie B. Parkes, Emily Faithful], Paris S. Rye, Emily Davies, Mary C. Tabor, Jane Crowe, Florence Hill, Anne Jellicoe, and Barbara Corlett. Lord Brougham presided. The Siracusa (Mr. Leslie) read a piper by the Rev. J. S. Howson, on the official employment of women in works of charity ; and Mr. liOBBILL GUM; the Recorder of London, read a paper by Miss Emily Davies, stating reasons for the education of women for the medical profession. Mule B. PARKIN tied a paper upon the balance of public opinion on woman's work, in which was discussed the ques tion whether the majority of women should remain depen dent upon men ; and while advocating that the daughters of the middle classes should be educated for some useful pursuit, she would deeply regret any change that should have the effect of making man unmindful of the duty of providing for his family. Miss DOLT FAXTRFULL contributed a very able paper on some of the drawbacks connected with the present employ. meat of women. She pointed out the necessity for bringing up the daughters m well as the sons of the middle classes to some profitable employment in which the mind would find active exercise, and by means of which a woman would obtain a knowledge of the world, which would better fit her for any position she might be called upon to occupy. The effect of the prevailing system of educating women was to make them think more of adorning their persons than of cultivating their minds. Mrs. INCus observed that the hindrances to the employ ment of women suss very much from the women them selves, because it was amongst them that the difficulties were made to pasties that line which some way or other had been set up u the boundary beyond which no woman might go. Mr. kirriwng uked for information from Miss Falthfull to the difficulties attending the general introduction of female labour in printing ostablislunenta. Min Ferranti. did noc See the force of the difflcultim which printers had pointed out Their objection was that there was some very hard work inseparably connected with printing, and which women would be unable to perform, but she had found that men did not always learn the whole of their trade, that different persons were in some cases re. quired to compose and make up the forms. She believed that men must be introduced to do this very hard work, but the work might be principally done by women. Lord BROUGHAM wanted to know how the employment of women as copying clerks had succeeded? Miu Fernirucl believed that Miss Rye had succeeded very well is her office, sad two others had beta established is the city. Yn JELLICOI read a paper upon " The Neoemity for Woman's Supervision of Woman's Industry;" and Mm, Coaurrr gave an account of the Dublin society for the employment et educated women. EAST INDIA COMPANY.-(TRIS DAY.) A general Court of Proprietors of this Company took place to day at the Offices in Lothbury, Colonel SUM, in tbe chair. , The Cnaxaiun announced that the dividends would be ready for payment on Moab y, the 7th of July. Various matters, pro forusts, having bees disposed of, Mr. JOllll J 01•118, • proprietor, moved, pursuant to notice : " That in view of the refusal of the Chancellor of the En chequer to provide the necessary fend. for the expenses of the Enst India Company aa by law required, it is expedient to consider how far the validity of treaties made by the East India Company with European rowers and with native princes in the East, the advantages of which are now en joyed by the crown, depends by the law of nations on the existence of the Fast lodia Company, so far as those F,u ropes° Powers and native priooea who are parties to the treaties are concerned. That the official announcement of 25,000 notices of eviction to tenant farmers in one district issued by European Zeminders under the new government of the crown in India, with the prospect of 80,000 more beiny about to follow, is an alarming (adore in the princi ples of policy adopted by the new administration." Mr. Jones observed that it was a hasty act of the le gislature that deprived the East India Company of its =. Parliament did not taus iato account all the ool circumstances. A large portion of the East India possessions were gained by conquest, and others by treaties and by concessions of territories from native princes. Those treaties, he coot-ended, were in valid, as regarded the government of England, and the company were now subsisting on an illegal fund, arising from unclaimed dividends which did not properly belong to them. The hon. proprietor proceeded at sonic length to urge the arguments on which be based his motion. lie maintained that this company had fair grow's' for negotiation and reta liation, if necessary, with the government, in the position that they held as depositories of the various treatits which had been effected from time to time with the native privets, upon whom, in his opinion, the law was not binding under existing circumstances. Mr. .§ . IIAW seconded the 'Lotto°. Mr. COON said that, although he agreed with Mr. Jame as to the illegality of the food in question, he thought it would be unwise and unprofitable to hold out any retalia tory threats to the government. The CHAIRMAN staled that the act of parliament had completely extinguished the political functions of this company, and therefore they bad no power to eutertaan the motion. The CHAIRMAN suggested that Mr. Jones should with draw his resolution, sod thus avert the necessity of moving the pnvions question. Yr. doses refused to withdraw his motion, and The ClialettA.N put the previous question as an amend ment, without entering into soy argument upon the subject. The resolution wits negatived, and the amendment 'greed to.

Attention is chiefly directed to-day to preparations for the fortnightly settle ment in shares and foreign stocks. There is no revival of business in any department of the Stock Baclunge. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 691.., being sc. better than yesterday. Turkish Loan scrip is quoted 24 to 3 prem. ; Egyptian, 11 to 1i prem. ; and Russian, ito 1 prem.

There is an impression in some quarters, owing to the character of the recent Bank of England accounts, combined with the further withdrawal of gold yesterday, that there is some prospect of the minimum rate at that establishment being raised to 3 per cent. to-morrow, but it is not general. . _ _ w An instalment of 15 per cent, fell due yesterday on the Egyptian Loan for 2,195,200/ stock. The total of stock paid up in full up to yesterday is 1,223,7001.

The specie and bullion by the Mexican packet are not expected to be delivered before Widay, owing to the magnitude of the supply. The mail steamer Mooltan will take, to-morrow, only 10,0001. in silver and 1,5001 in gold for Bombay, and 5001. in gold for Aden. In the exchanges . the principal feature yesterday afternoon was again a movement in favour of Austria. On Friday bills on Vienna were quoted 13.10 to 13.20, and yesterday 13 to 13.05.
