HORRIBLE OUTRAGE AND MURDER. A fearful occurrence has just taken place at Glenfa;, 13 miles from Enniskillen. A farmer named Dolan having become jealous of his wife, who was enceinte, after severely beating her attacked ber with a knife, and while he was thus engaged the child was born. He killed the child with the knife, and, believing his wife to be dead, set fire to the house and decamped. Her screams, however, attracted the notice of the neigh bours, who arrived in time to rescue her from the flames, but she is not ex ected to survive. Dolan has:been arrested.

THE DERBY DAY, 1870. Although the morning was ushered in ominously, with fog, and murky clouds, the weather for the Derby could not in the early part of yesterday have been more satisfactory. There was no blinding sun, or, indeed, sun of any kind, and the thousands of veils on the men's hats, and blue dimity curtains to the hansoms were useless as far as the brightness of the heavens, and its effects on human beings was concerned. Certainly they kept off the dust, but a strong breeze made them rather more tantalising than pleasant in another way. The Derby stakes last year were run for on a splendid summer afternoon. At an early hour, omnibuses, carts, and drags began to leave town. in large numbers, only to be followed at a later one by myriads of cabs and stately carriages. A great dis appointment was experienced last year by the absence of what was then comparatively a new conveyance —the velocipede —on the road. This year the machines were largely used, and indeed the greatest possible inconvenience was caused by them, not only to the other travellers, but also to the riders themselves. At London Bridge, Vic toria, and Waterloo Stations cheap trains, well filled, ran repeatedly from 8 o'clock, and at 10 o'clock " special fast trains " began to run, the fares for a return journey being 7s. 6d. any class. The roads, usually taken advantage of, with the exception of that through Ken nington (it being blocked up by the looal authorities), seemed hardly less crowded than ever between the hours of nine and twelve o'clock. Groups of respectable men and boys, chatting warmly as they went along, itinerant retailers of oranges, and racing cards ; ostlers, cardsharpers, and roughs all were hastening to the course as fast as their legs would carry them, or the " c'reckt cards " and " cigar light " youngsters would allow them. The streams of waggons, omnibuses, pony chaises, and dog-carts, in the centre of the road were also as thick as ever. The Prince and Princess of Wales, accompanied by the King of the Belgians, with their retinue, drove down to Epsom about noon, and were much cheered by the observers, whom the royal party passed on the road. The balconies along the route from the Elephant and Castle, the Camberwell New-road, the Kennington Park and Clapham-roads were filled with ladies and children, and many were the regrets expressed by the crowd passing below that they were being left behind in quiet London, and " quiet " London was all day, if it is ever so. On the roads faces looked as bright, colours as gay, and what passes on a Derby Day for fun was as boisterous as ever. Looking at the dense crowd of spectators between the intervals of the races swarming over the Downs, or pacing the Course, and during the time of running formed in a solid phalanx on either side of the ropes, it seemed difficult to believe that there were fewer visitors at the Derby yesterday than in many former years, from sheer incapacity to understand where, -on the occasions when they were more numerous, they could all have been stowed with the remotest chance of seeing anything. Yet that there was a thinner attendance was an opinion generally expressed by the habitues of the meeting, the correctness of which it would probably be difficult to challenge. The reason was not far to seek. Everyone—the sporting prophets included (though they, especially after the result of their vatici nations to-day ought hardly to count for much) thought the great race of the year was a foregone conclusion. The winner of the 2,000 guineas, and the winner, too, in such a style, no other horse being able to come near him, was held to be such a safe card, that to doubt his chance of success was lool?ed upon simply as heresy of the grossest and most unpardonable kind. Never since the year of West Australian has any horse within ten days of pulling off the Derby been intrusted with such heavy odds. The rush to get on him the night before the race was tremendous, and when yesterday he was seen cantering past the Standthe enthusiasm was still greater. Macgregor must win —such, heavily backed, was the opinion of the public. Nothing else was to be heard of, and any other horse suggested as likely to snatch the honour from him was dismissed with ignominy. This confidence in Mr Merry's selection— a confidence which the scratching of his other horses proved to have been as strong in his ow n mind as it was in that of the public robbed the Derby of 1870 of so much of excitement as would have tended to attract towards it a gathering of more than ordinary dimensions. The un certainty of the weather, for the morning "got up," if such an expression may be allowed, with more than a suspicion of moisture attaching to it, had also a somewhat slightly deterrent influence. But though thus partially contracted in its pro portions, from the causes stated above, the chief race of the season was pulled off in the presence of a vast crowd—a crowd composed of the same elements of intense business and pure jollity which have always characterised it, and which have been reproduced in print ad nauseam. Frith's picture of "The Derby Day " is not for one year but for all time, for its incidents have been incidents of every Epsom Meeting for years past as they will be for years to come. The day as far as weather went was hardly worthy of the lst of June, but then as everybody knows the seasons at present are sadly out of course. The wind got round to the North though it did not do much when it got there, which w as a fortunate item, for blowing where it listeth, according to precedent, it has a special penchant for the downs, and it does not require a memory very long to recall when the Derby was run in a breeze admirably adapted for yachting, but not for a horse-race. Yesterday, if there had been much sun, the slight wind that prevailed would have received a heartier welcome than it did. As it was, it made the atmosphere a little cool, and , prevented the dust from remaining in that con dition of repose, so much to be admired i n pulverised chalk and young children. Rain fell at Epsom early in the morning, as was discovered by the visitors who reached the place a little after noon. This first instalment was followed by a second a little later on, and just as the course was being cleared for the race of the day, a smart shower fell whichdid the work of the police in double quick time, and caused the top ofthe Grand Stand to break out with umbrellas, which, held closely in the hands of the occupants, as they crouched down gave it the appearance of a bed of highly dis coloured fungi. The shower was only transitory, and the sky was clear when the horses were saddled and paraded in the paddock. The little excitement caused by the first race, the Epsom Town Plate—the state ment of the running in which will appear in its proper place, and of which it is sufficient to say here it was started with difficulty—the horses again and again breaking away, some of them getting half way down the half-mile before they could be pulled up—contested gamely and cleverly won by Lord Rendlesham's La Rose, served only to whet the appetite of the visitors present for the grand coup which was to follow. His Majesty the King of the Bel gians, his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales and the Princess of Wales arrived just as the horses for the first contest, headed by the scarlet-coated official whose presence on his white charger is as familiar as the Derby dog (by-the-bye, there were three to-day, and they did the mile and a half from the corner in splendid style)—passed slowly up the course. The Royal party were loudly cheered as they drove in a carriage and four up to the Grand Stand. The process of stripping and saddling the Derby horses is done, unless in exceptional cases, in the paddock, within the mysterious precincts of which they are paraded for their owners, their friends, and the cognescenti, to take a last fond and critical look before they are sent away walking gravely by the Stand to turn at the quarter-mile dis tance, and take a brisk canter back. Thirteen horses shewed in all their glossy beauty within the paddock, upon the palings of which those not permitted to enter the sacred pasture swarmed like so many bees. From every ele vated point whence the meadow could be over looked, lorgnettes were levelled to scan the horses recognised by the colours of their jockeys. Slowly and at regular intervals they paraded in a narrow circle, every point carefully scruti nised, every defect noted, every virtue—horses must have virtues, for we constantly hear of their vices—extolled. But where, oh where, was the Highland laddie gone ! The certain winner of the Blue Riband of the turf for the present year of grace what could delay his coming. Everyone wanted to see Macgregor, yet no one could catch sight of him. Had they only known the ter rible dilemma in which he was about to place his ardent supporters, they would probably have been ready to tear him in pieces rather than to await the moment when his owner saw fit to produce him, to greet him with ringing cheers. But ignorance for the moment was bliss—the awakening must have been experienced and bitterly cursed by this time—and so when it was an nounced that the favourite was being saddled else where, as also was Kingcraft, his backers were content to exercise patience, a patience soon to be rewarded when the field of 15 came down the course in front of the Grand Stand in their preliminary canter.

His fore legs were ban. daged, and thelhought occurred, no doubt, to some of those who had heavy odds upon him whether or not there was any truth in the rumour that, exceptionally good horse as he was believed to be, the descent from the corner—the crucial point of the course— would prove too much for those upright legs of his. Of all the string which came cantering down towards the winning post, not in the race, but in the preliminary canter, it was thought that Mr. Merry, having scratched Sunshine, daughter of a Derby and St. Leger winner, and said to inherit all the sterling qualities of old Alice Hawthorn on the one side and of Chanticleer on the other, and elected to win, if win he could by Macgregor. There was no very dangerous rival to fear, though Prince of Wales and Camel were by some sport ing authorities held to be horses who would require the favourite to do about all that he knew. Many idols of the public have been followed with loving eyes on their way to the starting-point, but it is questionable if any was ever sped thither with glances more admiring or confident than Macgregor. whose owner Just ten yeas since won the Derby with Thormanby. As events turned out, it is rather curious to note that one of the horses about which the least was said, as the string swept 'by, was the horse which VMS to snatch the laurels from the New- ' market winner, and lead the black jacket with white sleeves to victory. The start was effected with some little difficulty, and with a great amount of delay, but as far as could be seen from the winning post was 4 level one. The field got off in capital style, and in a compact phalanx. Indeed it was observable that right away up to the furze bushes with one or two excep tions—notably one in which the horse Cockney Boy stumbled and fell—the whole body of competitors kept in' close proximity ; the pace was fast, and when Tatten ham Corner was turned a scarlet jacket, that of Palmer ston's rider, was seen rather too much to the front to be pleasing to the backers of the yellow, who nevertheless stuck to their choice manfully, and vowed that getting into the level Mr. Merry's horse was gaining the foremost place. One thing was clear, that Fordham meant winning if the horse had it in him to do it. Macgregor was ridden to all appearance judiciously, and seemed to answer gamely the calls that his jockey, sparing neither whip nor spur, made upon him. But the race was not his—a fact which began to impress itself unwil lingly, but with some considerable degree of certainty, upon his backers as the field drew near the distance. At this time French, on King craft, was lifting his horse along in first-rate style, and the scarlet of Challoner, Palmerston's rider, and the mazarine blue of Kenyon, Muster's mount, were too much in front of the yellow and black to please the backers of the favourite. Fordham, calling upon Macgregor, lessened the distance between them, and the favourite shot slightly ahead, but as he did so, and was getting to the front, he was checked by the horse on his near side, which was steered so closely to him that a cannon seemed inevitable. For an instant shut out of the field, but only an instant, Mac gregor was induced to make one more desperate effort for retrieving his honours, but it was too late. The judge's box was at hand, and French, on the far side of the course from the Stand, with a vigorous handling of his whip, car ried Lord Falmouth's colours past in triumph, Palmerston being close behind, and Muster next: The race finished amidst an ominous silence, as it might well do when such a firm favourite as Macgregor did not even secure a place, but was at the tail of three horses supposed to be infinitely his inferiors.

The start was effected with some little difficulty, but, as it seemed to us, they all in the end got well off ; one was seen to stumble and fall, but the rest went away in a good style. The pace was fast, and as Tattenham-corner was turned, a scarlet jacket, that of Palmerston's rider was seen rather too much in the front to be pleasing to the backers of the yellow. Ford ham, however, seemed to have made up his mind to win with Macgregor, and rode his horse to all appearance most judiciously, as he seemed to answer all the calls that were made upon him, but it soon became apparent to his supporters that the race we.s not for him. As the lot drew near the Grand Stand, French was seen lifting his horse along in first-rate style. Palmerst on and Muster were now in front of Macgregor, and Fordham made a great effort to lessen the distance between them, and his horse shot to the front, but he was checked by a horse on the off side. Fordham again called on Macgregor, who endeavoured to retrieve lost ground, but it was too late ; the judge's box was at hand, and French, by a vigo rous effort, landed Kingcraft the winner of the Derby of 1870. This was the 91st anniversary of the Derby Day. On this occasion the winning horse was ridden by T. French, a jockey who though famous has never won the " Derby." One might here mention, as showing the praiseworthy activity of an excellent association, that the officers of the Society for Preventing Cruelty to animals stopped a four-horse omnibus in the morning because thehorses were not in a fit condition for the journey, and so promptly was justice done that the owners of the vehicle have already been fined #5.

LATEST BETTING- ON THE CO URSE. OAKS. 6 to 4 agst Sunshine (taken and offered) ANTICIPATIONS FOR THE OAKS. Since the scratching of Sunshine for the Derby the betting in favour of the filly's chances has considerably Increased, and seeing that two splendid cracks, Hester and Sunshine will probably have a thorough struggle for a win, interest in the race has become intense. The field will probably be made up not much larger than follows : RIDER. .. .. J. Grimshaw ... Snowden Marsh Maidment SIRE. DAM. Hester Thormanby Tomyris.... Sunshine Thormanby Sunbeam Pate............ Macaroni., Songstress., , Sister to Tomato King Tom Mincemeat Dark C10ud...... Cavendish Maid of the Mist Those marked * are doubtful runners, Bell's Life says it seems to be considered that the race will be confined to the three alone that stand first in the above list. Hester (it says) we recently saw win the One Thousand Guineas Stakes in very hollow style, and on that occasion the filly displayed a fine turn of speed, and outstayed her field in a style that betokened her ability to get a distance. Since that time there is every reason to believe that she has done well, and her party are most sanguine of success. Sunshine i s now h ea d an d head with Hester in the quotations. Pate seems bound to get a place now that Mahonia is amiss. Had the last-named kept well we should certainly have coupled her with Hester, but she is unfortunately cough ing, and it is, perhaps, doubtful whether Baron Rothschild will have a representative at all. Pate is a very smart and clever filly, and although it was the fashion up to a certain time t say that speed, and speed only was her forte, it has been manifested that she is not without staying powers. In our opinion she is, however, scarcely up to the class of the other two, far as she may b e ex pected to beat all th e remainder that run, although Dark Cloud is fancied in the north. The struggle between Hester and Sunshine may be a sharp one, but knowing Hester to be in form, and remembering that Sunshine has not been raced since the Middle Park Plate, the New market filly must have the preference. The prophet of the Sportsman says :—" I must confess that the bold front presented by my old favourite, Sun shine, makes me very uneasy about the fate of my Satur day's selection, Hester, for I find that so far from being only half trained, as was currently reported, Mr. Merry's filly is in brilliant condition." GLOBE THEATRE.—Miss Fanny Josephs announces her first benefit at this theatre for next Monday evening. Lord Lytton will take the chair at the annual dinner of the Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution, to be held in Willis's R ooms , Ki ng - street, S t. James ' s, en Wednesday, June 8. THE CONTAGIOUS DISEASES (ANIMALS) ACT. — The Metropolitan Board of Works, acting as the " local authority" for London, has at length taken steps to en 'force the provisions of the Contagious Diseases (Ani mals) Act. The board has issued an order that all horses or other animals which have died of glanders, or have been slaughtered on account of contagious disease, must be re moved, after disinfection of the carcase, in charge of one of their officers, to premises licensed for the purpose. Persons who are in possession of animals suffering from contagious or infectious diseases are to give immediate notice to the police, and to keep the affected animals as far as possible separate from others. The neglect to give notice will render parties who have glandered animals in their possession to a penalty of £2O ; and all persons who may be connected with the disposal of such animals, otherwise than provided for in above Act, and the orders of the Privy Council, will be similarly liable. The Board further warns all persons concerned to give immediate notice of any outbreak of disease, so that pro per steps may be taken to prevent its spread. TWENTY. I'ERSONS DROWNED. - -- • A terrible accident has just occured in Switzerland. The Choral Society of Vevey had been to Gruyeres to give a concert for the benefit of an orphan asylum, and were returning by the valley of Allieres, when some of them proposed an excursion on a lake which exists on the plateau of Jaman. That place is cele brated for a delicious trout, which the inhabitants fish for from a species of raft. Upon one of these about 30 of the company embarked and had attained the middle of the lake, which is not above 600 yards in diameter, although very deep, when their frail support became dislocated, and sank with them. Although nearly all were good swimmers 20 were drowned. BRUTAL MURDER AT WAKEFIELD. About half-past seven on Tuesday morning a woman was found, quite dead, with her throat cut, in a thorough fare called Hudson's-y ar d, W a k e fi e ld . The victim turned out to be a woman who has only lately come into the town, whose name, from letters found upon her, ap pears to be Emma M`Lavery. A great deal of mystery surrounds the affair, and the best idea of the facts con nected with the case will be obtained from the evi dence which was given at the inquest held on the body the same night, before Mr. Taylor, the district coroner. Mrs. Harriet Padley, wife of a lodging-house keeper living in Providence-street, said that about seven or eight weeks ago the deceased, whom she knew only by the name of Emma, or Ellen, took lodgings with them along with a man, who was a plumber, and who was said to be her husband. At the end of a week the deceased dislocated her right shoulder, and was taken to the workhouse, and her husband left the town. The deceased came out of the work house on Thursday, and remained at witness's house until Sunday. In the afternoon of that day she went out, and did not return until Monday morning, about eight o'clock; she was then tipsy. Witness told her that she could not do with people who stayed out at nights, and sent her about her business. The deceased and Welsh, a female lodger, left together, and s h e did no t see th em afterwards. Witness had not seen the deceased's husband after his wife went into the workhouse. He left her be cause he said he could not do any longer with the latter's dissipated habits. Welsh deposed that the deceased took her to a public house in Kirkgate, and paid for two gills of beer, and then left to keep an appointment with a man who she said was a widower with two children. Witness, after getting drunk, and being locked out, spent the night in an out house. On emerging from the place in the morning, she met a navvie, named James Johnson, who pawned his shirt to pay for some beer for her, and on whose head were the marks of some cuts, about the infliction of which he told her various stories. The man had been apprehended, and she identified him at the police-station. William Sims, a private in the 25th Regiment, who, with some ten members of the same regiment, had escorted a number of prisoners from Portsmouth to Wakefield, de posed that he and Corporal Southam left Johnson and a woman, who was identified as the deceased, standing near the parish church at half-past twelve on Monday night. Dr. Wade, the police surgeon, who saw the body, stated that in the neck was a deep wound, some four and a half inches long, penetrating to the bone. The wound must have been inflicted by some one from behind with a sharp instrument, at one stroke, although from marks on the vertebrae, the weapon had been inserted at least twice afterwards. From the small quantity of blood at the place where the body was found, and the appearance of the body, he was of opinion that the body had been dragged there after death. The woman was between two and three months advanced in pregnancy. The per son who committed the murder must necessarily have been covered with blood, and the drops of blood on Johnson's smock were fully accounted for by the wound on the head. Field, a police-officer, saw the deceased in Westgate, followed by Johnson. He told the woman to go to her lodging, and sent the m an o ff i n an opposite direction, towards Sharlston, where he said he lived. The inquest was then adjourned. EMBEZZLEMENT OF £lOOO BY A MANCHES TER CLERK.—At the Manchester City Polic-court yesterday Peter Birmingham was charged with having embezzled various sums of money, the property of his employers, Messrs. C. Wood and Co., Mosley-street. On the 13th August last the prisoner wont and collected various sums of money on account of his employers and then decamped. The police were not able to find his whereabouts till Tues• , day last. It was found that the total sum embezzled was between £9OO and 1000. The prisoner pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to six months' imprisonment. A CONSPIRACY IN AUSTRIA.—The Vienna Presse has received news from Prague, which, if authentic, is of a serious nature. A secret press has been seized in that city, and eight persons, some students others workmen, belonging to the secret associa tion, Blanik, have been arrested. It has been ascertained that the society has branches in the provinces. The ac cused have confessed that its object is to provoke a general uprising, and bring about a complete dissolution of the Austrian Empire. Documents of a very compromising nature have been found on the accused. AUSTRIA. —A special telegram of the Eastern Budget says that the negotiations of Count Potocki with the Polish leaders have been concluded with a favourable result. The preliminaries of an agreement have been decided upon, and the Poles promise to support the Government in the Reichsrath. The German Democratic party has adopted the policy of the Government, and has commenced an electoral agitation in this sense. The feudal party in Bohemia has become disorganised owing to the union of some of its members with the Czech national party. This will greatly facilitate the attempts of the Government to arrive at an agreement with the nationalities. Count Andrassy's presence here has con firmed the impression that complete harmony prevails between Count Beust and the Presidents of the Cabinets at Vienna and Pesth. THE GOOD OLD TIMES.—A few days since, as some workmen were digging in the ruins of Wigmore Castle, Herefordshire (in early days the property and residence , of the Mortimer family), they came upon the solid masonry of an arched roof, and, on removing one or two of the large stones, found a dungeon communicating with another of equal size, each about fifteen feet square, and covered with arched stone roofs. They were approached by means of stone staircases, which have been buried in the rubbish of the ruins for many years. In the stonework of the side walls were embedded large, strong iron staples, sup posed to have been used for securing prisoners during the civil wars. The dungeons contained a few bones in a very decayed state and some lead rolled up. Hundreds of parsons from Hereford, Leominster, and the surround ing neighbourhood have visited these interesting remains of former ages.

TERRIFIC HAILSTORM IN AMERICA.—On Sunday, May Bth, Philadelphia was visited by one of the most remarkable storms on record. The season for thunder showors in this section is leginning, and about two o'clock one was observed approaching from the south-west. The temperature was about 70 deg. Fahrenheit. As the storm came up it met with an adverse air current from the north etist ; and shortly afterwards another from the north-west, so that for several moments the clouds hung in suspense over the city, but could be seen in most violent commotion. At 2.15 p.m. the north• western current gained the mastery, and the storm began moving in a south easterly direction, while five minutes later rain began to fall. This soon turned to hail ; and the hailstones, at first small, soon came as large as walnuts and hens eggs, and in enormous nutnbe s. For 15 minutes Philadelphia was treated to a terrific fusillade of these huge hailstones, which made sad havoc among window-panes, skylights, hot-houses, and conservatories. Fruit trees and shrubbery windows exposed to the north western wind were completely riddled, while the streets were strewn with broken glass, hailstones, leaves, shingles, and rubbish of all kinds. The storm, which began sud den!, ended as quietly at 2.25 p.m., but in that time had broken half the windows in tho city, and caused at least 500,000 dollars damage. Horses took fright from the pitiless pelting, and many persons were injured, while one man died from fright. The average size of the hailstones was liin, to 2in. in diameter, while ono is reported that was 11in. in circumference, and weighed 7oz. They were beautifully formed, being conglomerations of smaller hail stones frozen together. Only the thic est and heaviest glass could withstand the storm, and the windows after it pre sented a most dilapidated appearance. Window glass is at a premium, while glaziers are in demand and everywhere the chief business progressing is putting in new window panes. he storm did not extend over a very wide section, and seems to have spent its fury on this city. The heaviest da- mane was done to the large and valuable windows of churches and to the glass roofs of conservatories. THE MARKETS.

Messrs. J. Henry Schroder and Co. have announced the half-yearly interest due, on the 15th June, on the bonds of Matanzas and Sabanilla (Cuba) Railroad Seven per Cent Loan for £300,000. The prospectus of the South Cardigan Bay Silver Lead Mining Company has been issued. It proposes to acquire and vigorously work the property, situated South of the Cardigan Bay Consols, and the reports of the engineers who have examined the different lodes are highly encourag ing and satisfactory. Six veins have been opened on at various points, all of them have been productive of ores up to the very surface, and there are other circumstances that give quite a certainty of profit to the adventurers. Mr. George Henwood concludes his report on the mine as follows :—" After giving all the circumstances of this mine due consideration, I come to the conclusion that in all my experience of 40 years I never saw a lead mine in which so much has been discovered and effected in so short a space of time (only three or four weeks). Three lodes discovered and proved, either of which would have constituted a mine, combined with the local advan tages I have mentioned, place the property in such a posi tion as few mines could ever obtain. In short, the first thing you have to do is to commence raising ore from the surface, and procure a powerful crusher with adequate floors, when you may at once make return and sales of ores—results which are usua ll y not obtainable in as many years as you may do in weeks." It is very few mining companies that are enabled to com mence work under such favourable circumstances, and as 'the board of directors is composed of gentlemen of known position, the actual management of the works confided to Captain Richard Williams, and the capital required only £40,000, in 8,000 £5 shares, a most remunerative return may be certainly expected by those who invest in the Cardigan silver lead mines. The owners of the property showed their confidence in the value of the mines by taking the whole of the purchase money in paid up shares. LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
