DREADFUL MURDER AND SUICIDE.

LYNN, SUNDAY NIGHT.—The county of NOY-
frilk seems likely to maintain the unenviable notoriety
it has lately gained fee. crimes of the deepest hue ;
and to the list of tragedies already presented, one of
murder and suicide is now added. The, scene of this
outrage is the picture:•qu., village of Castle Rising,
about four miles from Lynn. Tne perpetrator of the
deed is a man named D a ws, a gardener, in the employ
of J. T. re, Esq., and the vic inis are his wife and
child. It appears that, the man bad been noticed to
be in a low state for some few days, but had been in
constant attendance at his employment, and on
Saturday last watered the garden towards evening,
with the child, a little boy aged seven years. This
morning, however, about half-past five o'clock,
a man going across the fields observed a body
lying in a river, where the water was shallow,
and which ran near to his cottage. The man
ins'antly obtained the assistance of others,
a;)(-1 the body was identified as that of Daws. Some
of the party then proceeded o the house of the de-
ceased, in order to break the intelligence to his wife.
On arriving at the house of the deceased the doors
were found to be fast, and after vainly endeavouring
to arouse the inmates, they burst open the door. Here
a dreadful scene presented itself. Upon entering the
room, the women was found lying in a pool of blood,
with her throat frightfully cut. She was quite dead.
Near to her was the child, with its head nearly se-
vered from the body. The room bore evidence of a
severe struggle having taken place, and, from circum-
stances, it is supposed the woman was first attacked
by her husband in bed, and her struggles and cries
awoke the child, who clung to his mother, the night-
clothes of both being nearly torn to shreds. Daws
was found with nothing on but his shirt, and not far
from him was the knife with which the fatal deed
was done. There was a slight wound in his throat,
which he inflicted, no doubt, whilst standing near the
river, and then flung himself in. No cause can be
assigned for his committing so rash an act except
insanity.

MEL AN CH OLY DROWNING OF ;TWO
DRAGOON GUARDS AT ISLE WO RT IL
On Sunday afternoon, at about balt-past three
o'clock, an intense excitement and feeling of horror
was occasioned to large numbers of gentlemen and
ladies promenading on the beau iful walk leading from
Richmond and Kew, by the following sad catastrophe
taking place opposite 'slew orth Church :
A large number of the 4,11 Light Dragoons, whose
present quarters are Hounslow and Hampton Court,
had come to Isle worth to enjoy themselves, as it was
Easter Sunday. The principal portion of the soldiers
had taken up their location at the London Apprentice
Tavern, when four of them determined on a row upon
the river. A boat was hired of Mr. Styles at the
ferry, and had got to a part of the river which is sepa-
rated by a small alt or island, from the Grand Junc-
tion Canal, where, it is alleged, from some " larking
occurring, the boat was suddenly turned bottom up-
wards, and the four soldiers were suddenly immersed
in deep water. A fearful cry arose from each shore,
and such boats as were proceeding up rowed hastily
to the spot to render assistance, and several put off
from the ferry. Two of the soldiers were rescued,
but Charles Iviren and Hardy Rouse, two of the ablest
and best soldiers in the 4-h Dragoons, were drowned.
Iviren was only under water little more than a quarter
of an hour, and he was taken to the London Appreo:
lice, and Dr. Day attended, and used every effort, but
all was useless. His comrade was not got up under
half-an-hour. The occurrence created the gretveat
gloom.
