ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER AT

BRADFORD

A desperate attempt was made on Monday by a man
named Thomas Duffield, a master shoemaker residing in
Otley-road, Bradford, 'to murder his wife Elizabeth by
repeated stabs in the body. The man is frequently addicted
to dissipated habits, is 47 years of age, and of.respectable
appearance, and, in the course of the forenoon, had been in
a drunken condition ; and, as has been supposed, his wife
had been censuring him for his indulgence in such
habits, when he snatched up a sharp-pointed knife, with a
blade 3 inches in length and an inch broad at the hilt,
and ferociously attacked her behind the door, and
dashed the knife into her body in three different places.
Aware of the outrageous nature of his temper when thus
aroused, and feeling the knife enter her body, the poor
wonian shouted out " murder !" and an opposite neighbour
who heard the screams; rushed in, and saw him, as she
entered, make the last attempt with the knife. Other aid
was at hand, and the poor. woman was soon rescued, and
her unnatural assailant conveyed to . the police-station.
Detective Shuttleworth was present in a short time, and
there found several surgeons who had been called in, and
were examining the poor woman's wounds, when he car-
ried away her stays, from* the cuts in which the extent
of the stabs might be inferred. From two of these, the
knife, which was exceedingly sharp, had evidently been
driven to its full depth—atone place a little below the left
breast, and not far *from the lungs, and another in close
proximity to the bowels, whilst a third blow had evidently
been aimed at the region of the heart, but (tvhich had not.
penetrated so deeply as the vitals. Her fingers were also
cut in her endeavour to defend herself from his violence;
but though every blow had been clearly dealt with consider-
able precision, as if . with the .intent to murder, the vital
parts had singularly, but narrowly escaped • and it is
therefore hoped that death will not ensue.. She, however,
lies in a precarious condition. We understand that Duffield
has a large family, his victim having borne him twelve
children.

PROSPERITY OF THE PORT OF BnisToL.---The report and
accounts of the Dock Committee, to be presented at the
Bristol Council meeting yesterday (Tuesday), showed the
port ,of Bristol to be in a highly tiourishin,g condition. The
foreign tonnage of the past year and the receipts are greater
than, in any preceding
.year, .notwithstanding •the depressed
state of, the shipping interest; and although, during the
same period, some six or eight thousand pounds expense
has been incurred for Mardyke-wharf and the landing-stage
for steamers, and ten..tbousand• pounds of debts have been
cleared off, there still remains the sumnf. some' eight or nine
thousand pounds in the 'hands' of the bankers, the balance of
last year's revenue account... •

DISINFECTION 0F..; Demeui and Comes
ha.4njist communicated to the Academy of Sciences a dis-
covery of- the highest. importance in surgery, which has
been repeatedly tried in Professor Velpeau's wards at the
HoSpital,de la Charite. ,:,It consists in the. application of a
compound which not only, absorbs pus, and 'destroys its
foetid smell, but also dispenses with the necessity Of employ-
ing lint. The prescription is as follows :-7-Take 100 parts
of plaster of Paris finely powdered, coal tar from I to 3 parts,
and mix in a mortar. Add olive oil quantum ne:#:.to reduce
the mixture to the consistence of ointment, and preserve it
for use in a close vessel. This mixture is of a dark brown
colour, and has a bituminOuS smell. The oil binds the
powder without dissolving it, so that the compound retains
its absorbing quality when placed in contact with a suppu-
rating sore, and it never dries sufficiently to become incon-
venient to the patient by its hardness, nor can it do any
injury to the sore. The application may be immediate
or mediate, according to circumstances. If applied im-
mediately to the sore it causes no pain, and has a deter-
sive action favourable to cicatrisation. The advantages it
offers may be summed up as follows : 1. A gangrenous
wound, emitting a fcetid and abundant pus, is at once
deprived of its bad smell. 2. After a twenty-fotir or thirty-
six hours' application the bandages of a bad sore exhale no
more smell than if they had been applied to a common
fracture. 3. A cancerous ulcer is immediately deprived of
its ftetor. 4. The same is the case with ulcers in the legs.
5. Bandages and poultices charged with offensive pus are at
once disinfected when brought into contact with the com-
pound above described. 6. It also stons decomposition.

ItOYAL.—The Paris correspondent of the Court Journal tells
us that there have been serious feuds between the Empress
Eugenie and the Princess Clotilde, Prince Napoleon's young,
Sardinian wife. He says :---" The Marchesa de Villama-
rina, whose attachment to the Princess Clotilde has withstood
every chance and change of marriage • and of transplanta-
tion, has been, ever since the peace, upon the stiffest and
most impracticable terms with the Court, and has kept
herself as, closely closeted as possible at the Palais Royal,
with the Princess Clotilde, her present-friend .and quondam
ntinil TT, 41,. a-_ ~

p ',nose ume-nallowed walls, screenedreened
from the
sun by closed jalousies, the two Sardinian ladies have sat
day after day, paying attention to nothing but the tele-
graphic despatches which arrive from Turin, returning
answers, and framing all kinds of phantasmagoria concern-
ing the next scenes to be played out in this drama, which,
according to them, had been withdrawn from the stage
befoie it was half performed, or rather, whose author has
blown out the lights, turned the gas off, and left the con-
cluding tableaux to be played in the dark. It seems that
from the very first, there was but little cordiality between
the ladies of the Palais Royal and the ladies of the
Tuileries. The Princess Mathilde was the only lady amongst
the latter who sought to conciliate the old fashioned prejudices
of the Conrt of Turin to the more modern free and easy style of
the Tuileries. This lady did everything in her power to thaw the
contending elements together. She. even painted Mdlle.
de Villamarina's portrait, and sent it to the exhibi-
tion; but this had no conciliatory effect at all, just the
contrary. The return of the Emperor and the Prince
added fresh fuel to the flame. So much had to be com-
plained'of, so much had to be told, and the tale was so sad
and full of woe, that an explanation was demanded by the
Prince. Of

APPEALS TO THE HOUSE OF LOADS

HOPWOOD N. HOPWOOD AND OTHERS

-MONDAY

This case came before their lordships on an appeal from
the Court of Chancery,-the Lords Justices having affirmed a
judgment of the Master of the Rolls in a suit in which the
appellants were plaintiffs, find the respondents were
defendants.

The Attorney-General and Mr. Karslake were counsel for
the appellants ; Mr. R. Palmer and Mr. Little were for the
respondents. "

The question for their lordships' decision was whether a
legacy of £5,000 left fo'the respondent, Frank George Hop=
wood, by the will of his father, Robert George Hopwood,
Esq., formerly of Hopwood Hall, in the county of Lancas-
ter, was or was not satisfied by a sum of £5,000 subse-
quently settled by the testator upon the respondent on his
marriage with the Right Hon. Elinor Mary Stanley. It
appeared that the testator duly made his will, dated April
29, 1829, and he thereby gave all his estates to James F.
Starkey and W. Townley upon trust, for the use of his eldest
son, Edward John Greg,ge Hopwood, the appellant, and upon
trust, to raise amongst other sums the sum of £5,000 to be
given to each of his two youngest sons,, including the• re-
spondent; and the; same sum to be given to his daughter
the Right Hon. Mary Dowager Countess of Sefton. In
May, 1835, in contemplation of the marriage of the respon-
dent With the Right Hon. Lady Elinor Stanley, a settle-
ment was executed between the testator, the late Earl of
Derby, the present Earl, Charles James Stanley, Lady,
Elinor Mary Stanley, and the appellant, in their respec-
tive parts, whereby, in consideration of the intended
Marriage, the testator covenanted that, in the event
of a marriage taking place he would cause to be paid
to the parties therein named the sum of £5,000. The
testator subsequently added a codicil to his will, by which
he directed the persons' to whom he bequeathed his pro-
perty in trust, to raise the sum of £7,000, to he applied to
the use of his son, the respondent, in the same manner as
that with regard to the £5,000 mentioned. The testator
died in 1854, and the appellant's solicitors, who had for-
gotten the existence of the settlement for £5,000, paid the
respondent the sum of £12,000, being the £5,000 and the
£7,000. They subsequently demanded the £5,000 back, on
the ground "that the £5,000 had been settled by the pay-
ment of the £7,000. On the refusal to repay, a bill was
filed, and the Master of the Rolls held that the respondent
was entitled -to both legacies, which was affirmed by the
Lords Justices. Hence this appeal.'
The arguments having concluded, judgment was reserved.

A MURDERER RESPITED.—A respite was forwarded on
Saturday night, from the Secretary of State, to- stay the
execution of Henry Benjamin Hayes, who 'was convicted at
the late Winchester Assizes for the murder of a woman at
Aldershot.

' TILE GUARDS.—The 2nd Battalion of the Grenadier
Guards was moved yesterday morning from London to
Aldershot, taking the place of the 2nd Battalion of Cold-
stream Guards, which has been moved from Aldershot to
London.

ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE ItAIL-
WAY.—On Tuesday afternoon an accident of a rather sin-
gular nature occurred to a fireman in the employ of the
Lancashire and Yorkshire Company, named. Joseph Eckers-
ley, who resides at Oldfield-road, Salford. By some means
or other, whilst the engine upon which Eckersley was
employed was running at full speed past Kirkham, near
Lytham, he fell off upon the line, and the wheels of either
the engine or 'one of the carriages grazed one of his feet,
and took off three toes. His head was slightly injured in
the fall, but otherwise he escaped. Eckersley was brought
to Manchester as speedily as convenient, and removed to
the Royal Infirmary, where his injuries were attended to,
and there is every hope of his recovery.
A BLIND HELMSMAN !—A few days ago a blind boy
belonging to Sunderland, who is said to have an extraordi-
nary passion for going to sea, induced - a companion who
goes on crutches to join him is a voyage from Sunderland
to Ryhope. To carry out their intention they procured a
coble, and having rowed out of the harbour, set sail for
their destination, the blind boy acting as helmsman. For
some time they had fair wind and weather; and -proceeded
without interruption ; but on nearing the Ryhope harbour
the coble ran on the sunken rock.: Blind Billy, however,
was not to be beaten, and after taking soundings with the
crutch of his companion, and ascertaining that the water
was not drowning depth, he jumped overboard, and with
assistance which came to hand, pushed the, little craft to sea
again and completed their voyage.—Sundeeland Times.

MALicious SHoorrlsiG.On Monday a man named Bryant,
who resides at Kingswood-hill,. was fully committed to take
his trial at the approaching assizes; on a charge of mali-
ciously shooting at ' and,. wounding a. neighbour, named
Lawrenee —lt would. seem that the aettisedy who is fifty
years of age, has provoked the wrath of his family and
friends by turning his wife out of tiohrE4 find rPenivina n

young girl in.' her place'; and, in Consegaence, crowds have
been in the habit of assernbling! around, dwelling and
pelting it with: stones, breaking his windows and doing other
damage. On Satiirday week this rough usage was practised
towards him, when he fired a loaded f3'un from his .window,
and Lawrence, who was passing,reemyed the charge in his
face and neck. The Wounded mamwas carried to the surgery
of Mr Grace, Kingswood-hill, and that gentleman succeeded
in extracting twenty shots. Information having been given
to the police, *Constable rorter arrested the offender, an lie
was remanded till Monday last, when he was sent for trial.
The gun, which was found in his room by the sergeant, had
been reloaded.---Bristo/ Mercury.

MORE WONDERFUL THAN THE MammoTli CAVE.—,Dr.
L. Talbot, in the Fort Wayne Times, says :—" Wyandotte
Cave, one of the most extensive and 'remarkable in the
world, is in Crawford county; Indiana, about twenty-five
miles below New Albana, on Blue River. The Mammoth
Cave of Kentucky ' has 'hitherto been designated as the
greatest known cave in the World. It may startle your
scientific.. readers. ta...hear me assert the fact, that there is
one stalagmite alone in Wyandotte Cave more mas-
sive than all the stalagmites and stalactites in the Mam-
moth Cave put together. This cave have surveyed: a
distance of twenty miles in length, and there are numerous
avenues. I have never penetrated to their end, although I
have visited the cave for scientific and other purposes, .over
a dozen different times—spending on ene visit four days and
nights within its darksome halls. The Mammoth. Cave is
distinguished more for .its vastness than its beauty
,• the
Wyanotte for its great extent, its mammoth hall, its lofty
ceilings, reaching frequently to the height ' of 267 feet, and
especially for its numerous and beautiful natural fountains,
which almost-continually meet the eye in every direction."
MISS FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE.---:The London corres-
pondent. of. the Matichesfri• Guardian writes : lam sorry to
learn that MiSs- Florence Nightingale. continues to lose
strength under her continued labours. The scenes and suffer-
ings of the Crimea made a deep and abidilig impiession on her
devoted.and deep nature. . She determined after her return
to give herself up to the removal of the manifest sources of
that evil which she had beheld in full play in the lazar-
houses of Scutari, and under the dismal hospital marquees
before Sebastopol. . Ever since the conclusion of peace, she
has been labouring at the work of 'barrack and hospital im,
provement, with a view to the amelioration of the health of
the soldier and the increase of his comforts. She has perse-
vered in this lab Our in spite of impaired health and-failing
strength, and she has told her friends, when' they remonstrate
with her, and urge her to take'rePoSe;that it is her vocation ;
she must work at these objects, till either she sinks at her
work or sees it accomplished. • She has; all along, been the
right ann of the, Barrack and Hospital-Commission, and,
with them, has had to- struggle against all the entangle-
ments of red -tape, and the obstacles of a vis inertice, and
prejudice against improvements which are difficult for
civilians even to conceive.

THE EFFECTS OF THE CONCORDAT IN HUNOARY.—The
Lutheran' pastor of Pancsova writes to the Pesth Evangelical
weekly paper :—"The Lutheran community of this-place look
forward with sad hearts to the decision of the affair of the
Cemetery; for the Roman Catholic clergy insisting upon the
Concordat, have prohibited, through the local magistrates,
the funeral chants and sermons of. the Lutherans at the,
cemetery hitherto common to Catholics and Protestants.
It was a source of pain to the Lutherans that ground
beyond the boundaries should-be allotted for their graves, to
which during the autumn-and winter storms tile bodies were
conveyed with great difficulty, and with no attendance. We
were assisted by the 'christian love of the Non-United
Greeks,. who followed us with precessions, ringing of bells,
&c., and gave us permission to finish the service in the
chapel of their own cemetery." The written "permit" of
the Non-United "Arch-Priest" to the Lutherans, which
was subsequently communicated to the general in command,
is as followS

" TO THE VENERABLE LUTHERAN COMMUNITY OF PANSCOVA.
" Should not those who, notwithstanding their differences in
nationality and religion, obey the command of our Saviour by living
in the same neighbourhood as friends and brothers, agree to lay
the dust of their loved ones in the same burial-ground until the
trumpet shall sound that calls them to the Great Judgment ?
Therefore, in the name of the Non-United Greeks of this place,
we declare that we receive willingly and in all friendliness the
bodies of all belonging to the Lutheran community into our ceme-
tery, ,until•such time as their own shall be established. '

"K. UNSENOWITS."

The Lutheran pastor adds: "We' now, by permission of the
general in command,: bury; our dead in the cemetery of the
Non-United Greeks, till those of different communities shall
be established, when ours must for the future have a sepe-
rate funeral car."

"The Unita4,Greeks acknowledge the Pope ; the Non-United do
not, and are considered heretics."
