TUE HACKNEY ACCIDENT.—The inquest into
this melancholy affair was resumed to <lay, and, after hear-
ing some turt er evidence, it was again adjourned until
Wednesday next.
THE SUSPICIOUS DEATH OF Two CHILDREN IN
-t(ENT.---The investigation was resumed yesterday at the
trent's Tavern, Pi-eaten-next-Faversham, Kent, touching
the mysterious death of two children, named respectively
dward George and Lucy Jane Wraight, who were found
dead in their mother's arms without any previous illness.
The inquiry had been adjourned for the result of the analy-
sis of the stomach of one of the deceased children by Dr.
Ta3lor. After hearing Dr. Taylor's report, and some fur-
ther evidence, the jury found a verdict to the effect that the
deceased died from having some sleeping or composing
medicine administered to them, but by whom or for what
purpose there was no evidence to show.
FATAL ACCIDENT FROM THE INCAUTIOUS USE OF
FIREARMS.—On Saturday last the elder son of Mr. Noah
Pran cop, o.7lcLata, a lad iIUt quite 10
years old, shot his sister, aged &o,: t 12, under most dis-
tressing circumstances. From the various reports in circu-
lation, it appears that the lad came into the room where his
Sister was, with a loaded gun, and said he would shoot her,
and aiming the gun at her head, fired and killed her on the
spot.—.ilury and Norwich Post.
In the arrangements made for the Prince of
Wales's reception at Vienna, every care has been taken to
avoid even the appearance of any political object being in-
cluded in the visit. The invitation to make use of the Hof-
burg has been accordingly declined with thanks, and it IS
probable that, if the embassy can find no adequate accom-
modation, his Royal Highness will stay at an hotel during
his two days' residence in the capital.
An improvement of between 1 and 2 per cent.
which has occurred during the past few days in the Russian
funds, is attributed to the circumstance of a new Finance
Minister having been appointed.
It is reported at Paris that Mr. Slidell has had an
interview with the Emperor Napoleon, and has handed to
Thouvenel a note professing to give the names and
tonnage of 400 vessels which have broken the blockade.
It has been suspected that the railway interpreter,
Ce rcarini, who is accused of having instigated the assassi
nation of the foreman, Smith, at Velletri, has owed the im-
munity which he has hitherto enjoyed to the circumstance
of his being a Bourhonic recruiting agent ; but, whether
this supposition is correct or not, that legitimist rank has
not beer, allowed to stand any longer between the offender
and the ends of justice. The individual in question has
been imprisoned at last, ample time for escape having been
allowed him if he had been so intentioned.
Two CASES OF SUPPOSED CHILD MURDER IN
T. Paxena.s.—During the last few days, information has
