Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston arrived at
Cambridge House yesterday from Broadlands.

THE Loss OF THE ONTARIO.—Atter our parcel
left on Monday Mr O'Dowd applied for an adjournment
until Thursday, in order that some of the Yarmouth beach -
men might, if possible, be brought down and examined.
The Court granted the adjournment, and Mr REfde.s added
that the captain was quite exonerated from all blame.

." M. Isaac Pereira and Baron de Ileckeren,"
says a Paris letter in the Independence," who are in reality
in Madrid, notwithstanding assertions to the contrary, are
at the present moment negotiating an increase of capital
for the North of Spain Railway. This augmentation ap-
pears to be necessary to the undertaking."
SUPPOSED MURDER AT BOULOGNE.—BOULOGNE-
SUR-MER, Nov. 7.—About 7 o'clock this morning,
as a workman employed in the erection of a new bridg
across the river Lianne, for the use of the Boulogne and
Calais Railway, was pursuing his avocation, ho became
aware of the body of a child lying in the bed of the river
close to the temporary bridge. The water was at this
time very low and clear, He immediately called some of
his fellow workmen to his assistance, and got the booy out
on the hank, whence it was transported, under the care of
the police, to the deadhouse of the Hospital of St. Louis,
where it was left for identification. About twelve o'clock
at noon the body of another child was discovered in
the pool of water in the Arriere Port, and immediately
withdrawn thence, and also taken to the deadhouse at the '
hospital. On the body being placed alongside the other
previously brought in it was evident that they were brothers.
There were no external marks of violence visible on either
of the bodies. The eldest appears to be between eight and
nine years:of age, 3ft. 3in. high, fair, complexion, red hair,
gray eyes, straight nose, small well-formed mouth ; does
not appear to have much colour in the cheeks. He had
on a black jacket, dark gray trousers, a white calico
shirt, .vith a narrow lilac and pick stripe alternately, a
purple and black plaid flannel shirt underneath, Magenta-
striped, white woollen stockings, shoes much worn, brown
silk cravat, brown woollen gloves with red cuffs, and bh black
patent leathern belt, with a brass buckle, bearing the Austra-
lian coat of arms, with the motto, "Advance Australia."
The younger child appears to be between four and five years
of age, is a good-looking round-featured boy, and has had
rosy cheeks; he is 2ft. gin. high, light curly hair, blue eyes,
straight nose, small well-formed mouth, forehead fair and
well developed. He had on a white diaper pinafore, light
blue and white merino petticoat with two broad brown
flounce stripes, a check linen under-petticoat, a flannel ditto
with two tucks, white calico trousers with pearl edging, red
socks, and newly repaired shoes, lilac woollen mitten gloves.
with black cuff, and a reddish brown ovcrjacket. There are
no peculiar marks on the clothes. The caps or hats have not
beer found as yet. The report of the finding of the children
was soon bruited about, and the police were very active in
making inquiries into the:probable cause of death. In a very
short time it was ascertained that a man named Leduc, who
has lately resided in London, and who is well known in
Boulogne, having a wife residing in the Rue de Bras d'Or,
arrived in the Albert Edward from Folkestone at 4,30 p.m.
yesterday (Sunday), and on leaving the packet wont into
the passengers' waiting-room under the Macabre do
Commerce with two little boys and his baggage, consist..
ing of a good hatbox, a nearly new brown leathern portman-
teau corded with a rope, and a carpet-bag of a grte.n ground
and dark brown stripe. The party stayed in the room warm-
ing themselves by the fire, and Leduc conversed freely m ith
the Customhouse officers who were there. He told them
that ho was ping to place the children at a school about
eight leagues from Boulogne. He left the Customhouse with
the children about 7 o'clock in the evening, and was no more
seen until late in the night, when he went to visit his wife
in the Rue do Bras d'Or, and slept there all night, It is
supposed that he left for England by the Folkestone boat
at 2 30 p.m, to-day (Monday), or he may have gone to
Calais, or indeed elsewhere. At all event, M. Brayer, the
very active Commissioner of Police in Beulogne, is using
every exertion to find him, and the police arc on the alert
in every direction. M. Brayer has telegraphed to London,
Folkestone, Dover, Calais, and other places in France, with
the following description of Leduc :—He is of small stature
thin face, brown hair, small reoustache,land wears a dark
brown paletot, ditto trousers (ragged at the bottom) a
broad"brimmed, low, dark or black Jim Crow bat. The
children seemed to have belonged to the better class cf
artizAllS.
