TEE TRAGEDY AT LIM:HOUSE.

ADJOURNED INQI7EST.-(THI3 DAY.)

At half-peat 11 o'clock to-day, Mr. Richards, the
deputy coroner, resumed, at the Salisbury Arms
Tavern, Eastfield-street, Limehonse, the inverti-
lotion :respecting the mysterious death, in • room
at Temperance Cottage, North-street, Limehouse,
of • young woman named Agnes Oaks, aged 22
years. The i4sigrytn had been adjourned for the attend-
ance of John s, a lighterman, who had stated that
the deceased cut his throat with • table knife and
then nearly half severed her own head from her body.
When a charge against the latter wee entered to-day at the
police station, the prisoner, who is • dark-complexioned
man of 35 years of age, made no statement. He is a short,
stout, well-built, active-looking man.
The Coroner read the following letter from Mr. Detchell,
of the London Hospital :
" London Hospital, Thursday, August 1, 1867.
" Dear Sir,—On Mr. Hutchinson's visit to-day he dis-
charged John Wiggins as convalescent, The police will
take him in charge to-morrow (Friday) morning. He is
perfestly able to appear before the jury."
Ultimately the coroner decided upon taking no
farther evidence until the prisoner Wiggins was present.
The latter will be taken before the magistrate to-day, and
on his remand, the coroner's inquiry will be resumed.

The barley harvest has commenced in the neigh-
bourhood of Pools, in Doreetehire, and the wheat harvest
has commenced in the neighbourhood of Exeter, in Devon-
shire. The potato crop in the neighbourhood of Taunton,
in Elomersetshire, has been seriously injured by the blight
last week.

THIS ACCIDENT AT THE NAVAL Rzvizw.—The
Queen has manifested the most gracious and continued
interest in the gunners who were so dreadfully injured by
an explosion when her Majesty reviewed the fleet on July
17th, in the presence of the Sults& On Sunday week the
Queen sent across to Inquire how they were progressing, and
sent a vicious marage, which was communicated to them
at once promising them that they should be specially cared
for. Stannuently, her Majestyhas forwarded them a gift of
money ; this week has again commanded that a detailed
nof their progress should be laid before her. Their
Injuries are very various; but, under the care of
Surgeon Franklyn, S.A., a medical officer of six-
teen years' service, they are progressing favourably.
The accident occurred at about 4 p.m., durinadit,
attack of the gunboats on Fort Blockhoue. A
two-pounder eartridge exploded in the gun while
the men were ramming home ; and the two gunners were
blown from the mouth of the gun over the parapet into the
moat, falling from a height of over 30 feet into water of
about lj feet deep One of the men, as soon as he could re-
amer himself, ran immediately to the assistance of his
wounded comrade, who had fallen on his hoe, unfortu-
nately. Assistant-Surgeon Rock war immediately in at-
tendance, and applied tourniquets to both arms of one
DWI, and to one of the other, and they were at once re-
moved to the Royal Artillery tal, Realer,
when it was found they had received the fol-
lowing injuries :—Gunner Wainsboroughleft arm and band
completely shattered ; arm amputated almost immediately
between wrist and dhow. Right hand much shattered.

BEZIP IN AUSTRALIA. —The increase of live
Moak in Australia has so outgrown the requirement of the
population that an influential meeting of squatters of the
Riverine districts was held at Deniliquin, in May, at
mem.
which it was resolved to establish at Ha , on the Murrum-
bidgee, a joint-stock establishment le of boiling down
10,000 sheep a week. Mr. Gideon was appointed
chairman of the company. The statis show that in
1842 there were in Australia 8,194,004 sheep and 1.008,233
cattle, which on the 31st December, 1866, had immured to
M. 381,733 sheep and 3,957,270 cattle in Australia and
5,075,000 sheep and 285,000 cattle in New Zealand,
3,758,175 sheep and 820,438 cattle having been boiled down
during that period. This great increase, coupled with the
fact that the country in the far interior is now considered
to be stocked to the limits of what could be profitably
occupied, appears to have left no alternative but to provide
for the annual augmentation by converting it into a form
of merchandise capable of being conveniently shipped to
Europe. If salted meat or Lie**, extract of it le found
to sell profitably in the European markets, large additions
will, it is said, be made in these forms to the annual ex-
ports from Australia. There will be some difficulty, how-
ever, in providing casks, the timber of the colonies being
in very few interims suitable. Agriculturists both in
South Australia and Victoria are vigorously extending the
area of their wheat lands, and with an average season will
produce a considerable increase in the luantity available
for shipment, after supplying all requirements for the
consumption of the oolonistr.— Tines.
REVOLT or Corrvicre.—The cholera at Catania
has led to • revolt of the prisoners confined there. When
it made its appearance in the gaol, the convicts, to the
number of 700, loudly demanded to lie Immediately trans-
ferred to somewhere else. This was refund, and they at
one, proceeded to arm themselves with muskets and
pistols, although how they got them was • mystery,
but it is thought from some of the turnkeys, and
attacked the warden, whom they disarmed. At 7
next morning, when the picket of the guard arrived to
relieve those of the day before, the prisoners made a dash
at the gates in order to escape, and the soldiers were
obliged to fire on them. They returned the fire, and seve-
ral of the military were wounded more or less severely.
The conflict lasted upwards of an hour, and at length the
troops made a bayonet charge and drove them beck.
Thirty-often of them were Med and a great many
wounded. Everything has reopened tranquil since.
