ACCIDENTS AND OFFENCES.

SureMi.—Shortly after three o'clock on Wednesday
morning, a female named Jane Carel, aged 40, residing
at 69, Copsall-street, Brixton Old Town, committed
suicide by jumping from • third floor window. The
deceased had been in • weak state of mind for some
time past, and was placed tinder the care of proper
attendants. On Tuesday night she retired to rest as
usual. At two o'clock deceased was quite safe, and
nothing more was heard of her until • police-constable
on Wednesday morning 'saw het lying in a shocking
condition on the pavement in front of the house. A
medical man was sent for, and on his arrival he pro-
nounced life extinct.
SUDDEN DEATH IN THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.
On Wednesday afternoon, as a party of visitors from
Staffordshire were inspecting the machine department
of the International Exhibition, one of their number, a
middle aged man. suddenly fell to the :venni, and,
before Ids friends, who were only a few paces in
advance, could reach him, expired. Disease of the heart
is supposed to have been the douse of this unexpected
calamity. Deceased, who arrived in Loudon on Satin-
-
day, has left • wife and three Children.
MELANCHOLY DEATH OP A MERCHANT.—OG Wednes-
day, Mr. Bedford, the Westminster coroner, instituted
an investigation at 129, Cambridge-street, Pimlico.
into the distressing circumstances attending the death
of Edward Clarendon Hyde, Esq.,aged 34, residing with
his sister at the above address. Miss D. Hyde
identified the deceased as her brother, who lodged with
her. lie was a merchant, and of independent means.
Elisabeth Sivel, servant at 140, Cambridge-street,
deposed that about half-past eight o'clock on Sunday
she saw deceased go up to the front door 0f,129 (his
sister's residence), evidently much intoxicated. He
knocked at the door, and then sat on the "coping" of
the portico, immediately over the area. He lurched
backwards once or twice, and then fell over the
area. Other evidence adduced went to prove
that the police found deceased dead, and
having ascertained that he lived in the house,
the occupants of which were out at the time, they
forced an entrance, and conveyed the body into it. A
few minutes before the shocking occurrence deceased
called at the Clarendon public house, in a state of
intoxication, and took away some brandy. He then
went to the bowie, but, not being expected home quite
so early, the mistress and servants were all out Mr.
T. P. Rust, M.8.C.5., deposed that he was passing at
the time and examined deceased. He was quite dead.
There was a large wound on the top of the head, and
some scratches on the face, seemingly the result of the
fall from the coping or balustrade, a distance of about
twenty feet. Death must have been instantaneous,
from shock to the system. The 'coroner summed up,
, and a verdict of "Accidental death" was recorded.
I THE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OP • YOUNG WOMAN AT
ISLINGTON.—The adjourned inquiry reenacting the
death of Sarah Ryan, aged 22. who it was stated died
from the effects of preside acid in the house of a friend,
under very extraordinary circumstances, was rearm3d
on Tuesday, before Mr. Humphreys and Dr. Lankaater,
at the Castle Tavern, HollOwarrciad. Mr. Ashley,
solicitor, appeared on behalf of Mr. Greening, the
lodger, who was in the house at the time the death of
the young woman took place. The particulars of this
melancholy case have already been published.
and it will be recollected Professor Harley
upon an examination of the body, found prusrie acid in
the stomach, and, in addition,there were certain indica.
, tions of pregnancy. The coroner, Mr. Humphries, on
taking his seat, said that since the list meeting of the
wort every endeavour had been made to obtain evidence
which would afford a clue to the elucidation of the
mystery, but without avail, Such being the ease it
would not serve the ends of justice to keep the matter
, open any longer, and he should therefore ask the jury
to come to their decision at once. Mr. Ashley said that
on behalf of Mr. Greening, he had to observe with
I regard to what had transpired on the previous occasion
I that lie had no object in anything but the Mini
investigation of all the circumstances. However,
after what had fallen from the learned coroner, be
(Mr. Ashley) should not think it necessary to take the
initiative in further inquiry. Mrs Ryan, the mother
of the deceased, said that her daughter had evidently no
' intentionof taking her own life, and she was in good
health and spirits half an hour before Bhe was found
dying. The coroner than read over the evidence that
had been previously taken, remarking on the fact that
no phial had been found in which the deceased could
have brought poison to the house, and it could not be
ascertained that any had been purchased by her. The
case was one of extraordinary mystery' if not of sus-
picion, and the only safe course would be to bring in a
verdict that death resulted from poison • but how the
drug was administered there was no evidence to show.
Such a verdict would leave the question still open, if
by accident further circumstanoes to elucidation should
become known. The jury, after a very anxious and
protracted oonsultatiou, asked for a further adjourn-
ment, to give time to the Home Secretary to offer a
reward for the elucidation of the mystery, and the dis-
covery if possible of the guilty party. The inquiry
accordingly was adjourned for that purpose.
DISTRESSING SUICIDE —An inquest was held on
Wednesday morning, before Mr. William Carter, at
the Board-room Camberwell Workhouse, on the body
of Mr. George Nathaniel Beams St. Leger, aged Id
the son of Mr. R. St. Leger, of the Peninsular and
Oriental Steam Packet Company, the deceased being •
clerk employed by the same company. It appeared
from the evidence that on Saturday morning a hat, a
pair of boots, and stockings, were found on the banks
of the Surrey Canal, and the water being subsequently
dragged, the body of the deceased was discovered. In
the trousers pockets were found two pencils, end a
pocket-book, in which was a memorandum, " Pirst pay
on Monday., ' There was no money in the pockets.
Mrs. St. Leger, the step-mother of the deceased,
deposed that he had latterly been exceedingly depressed,
which she believed principally arose from his wish to
become a Roman Catholic. She had recommended him
to see a clergyman on the subject. There had been no
disagreement in the family ; nor was he. to her know-
ledge, in any pecuniary difficulty. Mr. M. A. Gabb,
shirk to St. Paul's Church, Lorrimore, Walworth,
stated he had known the deceased for • considerable
period. He (deceased) was an amateur organist, and
played at Lorrimore Church at the extra services.
Witness had frequently noticed that he was very
strange in his manner, and often complained of great
pain in his head. Witness was aware that there was
ea engagement between the deceased soda young lady,
but it was broken off, and all pretense were returned
on either side. Did not think decreased was in
pecuniary difficulties. The coroner having Bummed
up, the jury returned a verdict to the effect that the de-
ceased committed suicide while labouring under tempo-
rary mental derangement.
A SUPPOSED BURGLAR KILLED BY MISTAEL --On
Monday a man named Williare Perry, fifty years of
age, died at the Sunderland Infirmary, from inieries
which he received on Friday morning at the hands of
Thomas Gibbons, who attacked, him under the supposi-
tion that he was • burglar, and had attempted to
enter the house. Gibbons, after the alarm that some
one was trying to get in, ran downstairs armed with a
thiek rtiok, and encountering (who Petry turns out to
be a decent honest labourer, wino had been supping with
a friend), questioned him. The deceased walked off, and
then ran, Gibbons pursuing, and calling out Police I"
until he creme up with him, and without more ado deillt
him some severe blows across the bead. H. then gave
him into custody as • burglar, but as it turned out
that the poor man's skull was fractured, Gibbone
himself was arrested. On Tuesday be was brought up
and remanded, the attorney for the prosecution stating
that he hardly knew how the charge would be shaped
—whether for murder or manslaughter. Gibbons is a
clerk in the North-Eastern Railway Company offices at
Newcastle.

ATTEMPT= MURDIN ANN Siltaints AT
An attempt attempt at murder and skill-destruction transpired
in Sheffield on Monday. The principal actor is Harvey
Teesdale comedian, and the intended victim is his
wife. The parties reside in Blind-lane, and for some
time past appear to have been living unhappily together.
At little before four o'clock on Monday afternoon
Teesdale went to his house incompany with a man. On
arriving on the steps of the house, it is said, he turned
auddenly round and struck his oompanion • blow in the
face with his list, which sent him rolling into the
street. He then rushed lute the house, fastened the
door on the inside, and diredilyafterwards the report of
a pistol was heard. This abxnied the neighbours and
passers by, and a rush was made by several persons
towards the door and the windows of the dwelling,
which resisted their efforta to force for a few momenta.
Happily they soon gave way, and the house was
entered. 'The wife was discovered with her face
covered with blood, and Teesdale with his head lying
back on the sofa, in the act of drawing a razor across
his own throat. He was Immediately seised, and
"prevented from carrying out his suicidal design. The
police were quickly on thd spot, and as the prisoner
had only inflicted a slight gash on the throat he was
at ones conveyed to the Town Hall in • eab. The
unfortunate woman's face was sadly disfigured, especi-
ally on the right side, but the pistol could only have
contained powder, or she must have been killed
instantaneously. She was removed to the Sheffield
Infirmary, where she now lies with every hone of
ultimate recovery. It is said the prisoner stated that
only on Monday morning be had gone down on his
knees to his wife and begged her to give up her present
course of life, and leave the neighbourhood in which
she was living, and that she replied that all eke wanted
was to be away from him. This he assigns lathe cause of
the act with which he now stands charged. He abo said
that he had been obliged to give up four theatrical en-
gagements lately through her conduct, and that she was
training up his two girls to be as had as herself.
TRH MURDIR AT ROTDON-HALL.-00 Wednesday
afternoon the prisoners now in custody, charged with
night-poaching and murder of James Gray, • keeper

in the employ of Major Cooke, Roydon-hall, Bast
Peckham, were brought up on remand before Mr. J.
Savage. There are nix persons in custody, while two
others implicated in the affair, and whose names for ob-
vious reasons we do not give, are still at large. The
men in the hands of the police are labourers residing at
some distance from the estate upon which the affray
took piece, which was, up to the time of the commiesion
Of the offence, unknown to them. They give their
names as Joseph Obey, 52; Thomas Stevens, 32;
George Alehin, 29; John Clapson. 29; John Hawkes,
15; and Stephen Burgeon 22. The chief constable of
Kent (Captain Buxton) said that the officers had not
yet succeeded in apprehending the other men who were
concerned, and lie should therefore merely offer snob
evidence as would justify the magistrates in further re-
manding the prisoners. For this purpose he should
tender the statement made by one of the
prisoners. John Hawkes, having been duly H
cautioned, made the following statement:— "I
live at Snodland, in this county. Burgess and another
man not in custody Caine and called um. I do not re-
member on what day, and we three walked together to
Hambill, where we called up Stevens and Clopson. We
went to Larkseld and called out another man (not in
custody), and we then wont on to Bast Melling, where
we were joined by two or three others whose names I
do not know: After leaving the Ship at Bast Melling
we travelled on further. I did not know where we
were. I was quite lost. We came to the wood where
the birds were, and shot several times—l don't know
how many, and we were leaving the wood when • man,
whom I do not know, Mlle round before es and ordered
us to stop. We asked him to let us go od our journey,
and he said he bad been waiting for us along time, and
would meet us presently. The man came round before
us, and at last struck at one of our men with • flail, and
after a little bit of a tussel, the man he struck at
(Alfred Burr) fired the gun. The man that was shot
fell right upon him and collared him, and they went
down together, and there was • good deal more Wesel-
ling ofterwarcliii.. I and three others then went right
away, and I saw no more. Tim whole of the prisoners
wero there. Our leaders were Burr and one or the
others not yet taken. Ido not know how long ago it
was. The prisoners asked no questions, and they were
further remanded.

BRUTAL MURDKR. —On Saturday evening, about
eight o'clock, Slarston, near Ashbonru, Derbyshire,
was the scene of a moat brutal murder. It appears
that as Mr. Tomlinson, of Sturston Ball, Irma loading
hay out of a field adjoining bin premises, two of his
men, who were engaged in " pitching," having had some
alteration relative to the amount of work each was
capable of performing, one of them, an Irishman,
named Swaney, unawares fiercely attacked the deposited,
a young man named Thomas Stanley, dealing him
blows and kicks alternately, until the poor fellow lay
• corps on the spot, Tie prisoner afterwards made
his escape, but has since been eapttired.by the constabu-
lary in • barn at Little Park, near Okeorer Ball, the
seat of the High Sheriff of the county, and is now safely
lodged in the Aahbourn lock-up. The unfortunate
young fellow who so suddenly mot his death bore an
excellent character, and had only been married five
weeks. The prisonee is a tall, powerfully built man,
standing about Oft in in height.

Pirairsona Postrios.— A remarkable escapc of a young
lady is reported frees Llandudno. In wandering along
the cliff, she had rolled off the face of a rock into a
position from which she could not recover hautelf,
and in whieh she mold scarcely be seen. After wait-
ing six hours the lady was rescued by a boat's crew.
THI MURDER IN KENT.—Althotigh the thief con-
stable, the superintendent of the district, and other
police officers, have been indefatigable in their efforts
to discover the murderer of the man Elliott, whose
lifeless body was found in'a wheat-field atQueenborough,
on 'Friday morning, the matter is still involved in mys-
tery. A general impresaion prevails in the neighbourh.rod
whetie the &line was perpetrated that it was the act
of poachers, who had been detested in some depredation
by the deceased) but this a mere stirMise, in the
absence of any information as to parties who could
possibly have had any reason for committing snob a
crime. Another suggestion is that the deceased bins-
seta was out poaching with others, and was accidently
shot; but this does not appear at all likely, as. although
diligent search was made, no weapon was found, and
the body had evidently been dragged some distance to
the spot where it was found.
SERIOTIS GUNPOWDEB EXPLOSION.--On Wednesday
morning, about four o'clock, the inhabitants of the town
of Kington, InEtereforvishire, were thrown into a dread-
ful state of alarm by a loud report and the forcing in of
their doors and windows. The universal impression
seemed to be that an earthquake had taken place, and
many of the tradesmen and their families, in almost a
state of nudity, ran out into the streets. The first effects
of the fright being over, the cry of fire was raised from
the Oxford Arms Hotel, and, on prgoseding .thither, it
appeared that a building, soma sixty yards to the rear
of it, oecupied as a depot fur gunpowder used in the
blasting of works In the neighbourhood, and for the
keeping of the ammunition of the Radnor Rifle Corps,
had been blown up, am/ the 'adjoining buildings, stables,
and ricks of fodder, were ow tire. It would be almost
impossib'e to picture the state of tweak into which the
building itself has been blown, aa scarcely a vestige
even to the stone flooring, remains, and the destruction
of windows, doorways, roofs,' &honeys, itc., in different
parte of he t iwn is scarcely less extraordinary. It is
stated that about 14 or 15 barrels of blasting powder, a
quantity of Dartford canister, and several thorium& of
blank and ball cartridges were lodged in this building,
which is the property of Mr. Iffereditch, ironmonger and
manufacturer of agricultural implements, and which
took fire, it is supposed, by a quantity of unslaked lime
igniting some ricks of hay, the heat from which com-
municated with the said building. The bail cartridges
flew about in all directions, and it is almost marteHous
that no lives were lost.

FRIGHTFUL SUICIDE AND ATTEMPT AT MURDER 111
PARIS—The neighbourhood of the Rue Dauphine was,
on Tuesday night thrown into conaternation by an
attempt at murder followed by suicide. AM. Clear
juge de paix of a town in Picardy, arrived unex-
pectedly, about half-past ten at night, at the house of
his brother-in-law, M.B—, No. 41, Rue Dauphine.
He was very coolly received, as they had not been on
good terms for some time, owing to his strange conduct.
M. D— told his brother-in-law that his (D—'s)
daughter was about to be married, and be asked B—
whether he did not intend to give her a wedding portion
of 40,000 f. M. 8— —, amazed at this demand, for
which there was no reasonable ground whatever, gave a
fiat refusal. fl—then drew out a doable-barrelled
pistol and fired both shots at his brother-in-law, only
one of which took effect, indicting a slight wound on
13—'3 right hand. B—.—, thinking the man mad,
endeavoured to seise him, and a struggle ensued, during
which D-- stabbed himself four times in the breast
with a small poinard, antbaving at last got free for a
moment, he drew out another pWtol, and, discharging
it in his mouth, fell down dead. At this moment •
number of persona, alarmed by the repeated shots,
entered the apartment, and among them was the com-
missary of police of the quarter. On examining D—'s
pockete a letter was found, in which he declared his in-
tention of being revenged on hie brother-in-low mad then
killing himself, and the whole contents showed that it
could only have been written by an insane person.
The Echo de Ardeche records a Nadal tragedy
which has recently occurred at fit. Jenne d' Anadure, in
that department. On Sunday a farmer named Fanrot
saw a woman trespassing on his property, and fired his
gun at her. A warrant was ie consequence issued for
Panrot's arrest, and, as it was supposed that he would
offer some resistance, its execution was entrusted to
three gendarmes, who Were accompanied by the jugs-au-
pail and the Mayor of Andsure. On reaching Faorot's
house they found that he had barricaded the doors, and
when summoned to Inn-render he threatened to shoot
any one who should attempt to enter. One of the
gendarmes, named Bouquet, deter:limed to his duty
at the risk of his life, set about breaking open the
door, and had just effected a partial entrance when
Faurot shot him dead. The other gendarmes then
made preparations as if to burn the murderer out, hut he,
seeing their object, set fire to the house himself, rushed
out with • pistol in each hand, and, though fired at
several times, made good his recipe to a neighbouring
wood. As it was then nearly dark he was not pursued,
but measures were taken to insure his capture next day.

A Ri/PRAOTORY 0116.13.-48 a small 41110rCh at
little village near llrighton the congregation recently
bought a self-acting organ, a compact and convenient
instrument, playing 40 tunes. The sexton had instruc-
tions how to set it ti-going and how to atop it; but,
unfortunately, he forgot the latter part of his business;
and, after singing the first four verses of a hymn before
the sermon, the organ amid nct be stopped, and it cau-
tioned playing two yersea more, then stopped a little,
but just as the clergyman had completed the words
"Let us pray" the organ clicked and started a fresh
tune. The minister waited patiently, and, on its
stopping once more, repeated the words "Let us pray,"
when click went the organ again and started or on,
another time. The sexton and others continued theela
exertions to find out the proper spring, but no one,
could stop it., so four stout men were got to shoulder
the perverse instrument, and they carried it dawn the
centre ;dale of the thumb, playing away all the while,
into the ohurohyard, where it continued clicking and
playing until the whole 40 tunes were ftnished.---
