DESTRUCTION OF THE EAST LONDON CO-OPERA-
TIVE SOCIRTVISSTORLS.—(THISDAT.-AMODpt the stores
opened by this society and put into full working order was
one situate at No. 34, Tentermtreet, fipitalfields, a very poor
neighbourhood, inhabited principally by silk weavers out of
employment. A short time before midnight a cry was
raised that the depot was on fire, and such unfortunately
proved the case. At one time it was feared that several
houses near would have shared in the destruction. The
fire could not be extinguished until the contents were
destroyed and the building greatly d
THE MURDER OF A WONANIri St. :Tr.—Though
the pollee have, as yet, failed to discover who the un-
known female was that was found dead on the 13th inst.,
in • small wood, at the side of • bye lane in the parish of
Trosley, near Maidstone, under circumstances which left
no doubt that outrage and murder had been committed,
they have been successful in apprehending a labourer,
named Henry Roots, on suspicion of having been the
perpetrator of the horrible deed, and he was taken before
the Hon. and Rev. E. V. Bligh, one of the county magis-
trates, yesterday, the evidence against him helot of the
gravest character. When the body was found it was too
far decomposed to permit of its being seen whether there
were any marks of violence upon it, and the head and face
were completely muffled in • large shawl, which wee
tightly tied around the throat. At the feet were two
deep impressions of the toes of • man's boots,
one of them being peculiar from the half of the iron
tip at the toe having been broken off, and the
prisoner's boots exactly corresponded with these impres-
sions, and at a spot close by where the body was found,
and where a struggle appeared to have taken place, a con-
stable picked up some hair which he judged bail been
pulled out by the roots from a man's whiskers ; and this
corresponded both in colour and quality with the prisoner's
whiskers, from which some portion had recently been
pulled out. On the 27th May, about which time it is sup-
posed the murder was committed, the prisoner, who is a
native of Tinsley, but of • bad character, and of whom
some strange stories are now related, was seen at a very
short distance from a woman whose appearance was said
by one of the witnesses to correspond with the body found,
who was sitting on • bank at the side of the road leading
to the &haw in which the crime was completed. The pri-
soner, who did not at all seem to feel the position in
which he was placed, was remanded for a week, when the
ease will be fully gone into.
Arran eT To UPSET A TRAIN.—Two men, named
German Wan and Thomas Horobin, were yesterday taken
before the magistrates at Helper charged with attempting
to upset a railway train. It will be remembered that on
the 12th inst. a number of railway labourers were being
conveyed to their work in • truck, when they were upset,
and suffered considerably. A sleeper was found on the
rails, and evidence was given to show that the two pi-
soners were concerned in placing the sleeper there, with
intent to endanger the safety of the men and injure the
property of the railway company. Both the prisoners
were remanded.

PAINFUL Suivine —An inquest was held yes-
terday at the Vestry-hall, Fair-street, Southwark, on view
of the body of a woman named Elisabeth Smithers, aged
38 years. It appeared that deceased was the wife of a
salesman in Billingsgate-market, but that they had
lived apart for about two years. Early on Thursday morn-
ing last the deceased met her husband, and asked him to
" treat her." He gave her threepence, and the woman
handed to him a few beads for " their Emily," a daughter
whom the husband had taken from her, and of whom the
deceased appeared to be fond. At about 10 o'clock on
Thursday night last the deceased was seen standing on
the pier by London-bridge, and gazing intently upon the
water. In a short time she moved from there and went
on the bridge. She entered one of the recesses in which
two boys were standing, and mounting one of the parapets
she noised hold of one of the lads se if to drag him over
into the water. The lad's companion, however, prevented
that, and then the woman leaped from the parapet into the
river. She was brought to shore dead by the crew of the
steamer Twilight. Her husband maimed her of drinking,
and he was charged, by a sister of deceased, with ill-treat-
ing her. He was said to allow the deceased fis. a week,
but her sister declared that she had much difficulty in
obtaining it. A verdict was returned to the effect that
deceased had committed suicide whilst in a state of tem-
perer, insanity.
Rol AL Naval. SCHOOL, New-cross.—The annual
award of cadetships and distribution of medals and prizes
took place at this establishment yesterday; the president,
Admiral Sir William Bowles, K.C.8., in the chair.
LONDON DIOCESAN HOME MISSION.—The annual
meeting of the Mende of this mission was held yesterday
afternoon at Willis's Rooms, the Bishop of London pre-
siding. On the platform were Lord Cranborne, M.P., the
Bishop of Ripon, the Bishop of Cork, the Bishop of Vic- ,
toria, Rev. Canon Conway, Rev. R. W. Eillick, and others.
The Rev. J. W. Bardaley (the secretary) reed the report,
which stated that the receipts for the past year had been
3,0001., which exceeded by 5001. those of the preceding
year. This amount wee independent of grants from the
Bishop of London's Fund. On the motion of Lord Cron-
borne, seconded by the Bishop of Ripon, the report was
adopted. The second resolution was moved by the Bishop
of Cork, and seconded by the Rev. Mr. Calthorps, and was
to the effect that the encouraging account which the
report gave of the successful labours of the missionary
clergy connected with the society during the past year
ooavinaingly testified to the adaptation of its vocation to
relieve the great spiritual destitution which exists in the
diocese of London, and warrants an urgent appeal for
larger funds to add to the number of its missionaries.
Other resolutions in accordance with the objects of the
meeting were proposed and agreed to.
