DREADFUL TRAGEI).I7 NEAR 82.
PAUL'S OAT NEAR

The greatest possible e—x----eitetnent prevailed last
night in the vicinity of St. Paul's Cathedral, owing
to an awful tragedy having been enacted in the
premises belonging to Mr. Vyse, milliner, carrying
on business at 31, Ludgate-street.
The circumstances connected with this distressing
event are of a most painful character, and during
the confusion which necessarily ensued the following
particulars obtained from official sources.

Mr. Oxley, the ward beadle of Farringdon,
Within, and of course summoning officer to M.r.
Sergeant Payne, the coroner for the city of Loudon
and borough of Southwark,was suddenly summonedto attend at the house of Mr. Vyse, as his services
would be required by the Coroner. He at once
proceeded to the house of Mr. Vyse, situated as
above stated, when a scene that can with gifficulty
be des2ribed presented itself. Two children, aged
respectively 5 and 7 years, were found perfectly
dead, and Mrs. Vyse had her throat cut in a most
frightful manner, and blood was flowing copiously
from an extensive wound in the throat of the un-
happy woman.

The discovery was made in the following manner
—About 10 minutes before 4 o'clock yesterday
afternoon Mrs. Vyse called the servant to go to
Messrs. Keating's, chemists, in St. Paul's-church-
yard, for some packets of powders. It would appear
from what the servant stated that she had bees
sent for some of the same sort of powders in ti
morning, which she stated was for the purpose of
poisoning rats. Whether she obtained the second
package of powders or not is, owing to the great
confusion which prevailed, not precisely known
but one thing is quite certain, that after returning
from Mr. Keating's, and being in the house a few
minutes, she went to her mistress's door and found
it fastened. She knocked at it, and being unable
to obtain an entrance she went for assistance, and
the door was forced, when upon entering the room
the unfortunate female was found by her sister, who
was living in the house, in a pool of blood, and her
throat cut in the manner previously described. She
was then alive, and said to her sister, " Go into the
next room, and you will see something ; but it is no
use, as the two children will be found to be dead."
She, however, said nothing beyond the remark that
the children had :been poisoned by her, to lead to
the inference that she had committed the dreadful
deed.

The sister did as requested, when, upon entering
the room, she found the poor children in bed, the
countenance of each not much distorted ; in fact they
might be said to exhibit almost a placid appearance.
Medical attendance was procured from St. Bartho-
lomew's Hospital, and also from Mr. Keating's, but
it was found that the unhappy mother had inflicted
such a frightful gash in the throat, the blood flaying
flowed in such a stream as to nearly fill a basin, that
that it was considered unsafe to remove her to the
hospital, and she still remains at her own house
under the surveillance of the police, but there is nu
doubt that, by the time this report appears before
the public, the unfortunate creature will be no mores.
The came for the mother having made such
fearful onslaught on her children is not precisely
known, but it is said that some time back one of her
children died, and since that period she had been
noticed, although doing a large and profitable busi-
ness, to be in an exceedingly low and desponding
state.

Mr. Oxley has forwarded information to Mr.
Sergeant Payne, the coroner, in order that an inquest
may be held upon the two children ; but it is ques-
tionable whether the inquiry will take place until
the ultimate condition of the mother is clearly
ascertained.
