DREADFUL MURDER AND SUICIDE•

SUNDAY NIGHT.—The Min►y of Nor- `
folk seems likely to maintain the unenviable notoriety
it has lately gaieed for 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 picturesque village of Castle Rising,
ebuul four miles from Lynn. Toe perpetrator of the
deed it e mac named Dltys, a gardener, in the employ
el' J. T. A) re, Esq., and the victims are his wife and
child. It appears that the man had been noticed to
be in a low state for some few days, but hid been
constant attendance at his employment, and on
Saturday last. watered the garden towards evening,
with the child, a little boy aged s,e/en 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
instantly obtained the assistance of others,
and the body was identified as that of Dews. Some
of the part) then proceeded o the house of the de-
ceased, in order to break the intelligence to his wife.
pa arriving at the house of the deceased the doors
were Lund to he fast, and after vainly endeavouring
to iirouse the inm rtes, they burst open the door. Here
a dreadful scene presented it-elf. Upon entering the
room, the woman w •s found lying i❑ a pool of blood,
with her throat frightfully cut. She was quite dead.
Near to her was toe child, with its head nearly se-
vered from the body . The room bore evidence of a
severe struggle having taken place, and, from circum-
stance,,, it is supposed the woman was first attacked
by h-r hit..haiel i❑ bed, and her struggles and cries
stw4e the child, who clung to his mother, the night-
clothes of both being nearly torn to shreds. Davis
was found with nothing on but his shirt, and not far
trout him wag 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,. end then flung himself in. No cau,e can be
assigned for his committing Co rash an act except

MEL -INCHOLY DROWNING •OF TWO
DRAGOON GUARDS AT ISLE WORTH.
On Sunday afternoon, at about halt-past three
o'clock, en intense t xcitement and feeling of 'horr-or
we.; occasioned to large numbers of gentlemen and
ladies promenading on the beau ifal walk leading from
Richmond and Kew, by the following sad catastrophe
taking place opposite Isleworth Church :
A large number of the 4th Light Dragoons, whose
present quarters are Hounslow and Hampton Court,
bad coma to Isleworth to enjoy themselves, as it was
E ister 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 ait or island, from the Grand Jane.:
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 deer) 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
ar,d best soldiers in the 4h Dragoons, were drowned'
Iviren was only under water little more than a quarter
of an hour, and he was taken to the London Appretv
rice, 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 grea'es'
gloom.
