ANOTHER AWFUL TRAGEDY.

TWO CHILDREN MURDERED BY THEIR FATHER
AND SUICIDE OF THE MURDERER.
The greatest possible amount of excitement pre-
vails in consequence of a tragedy having been dia.
covered to have been enacted atNo.lB9, Blackfriars-
road, which closely resembles the one which recently
took place in Ludgate-street, near St. Paul's, with
the exception that instead of the two children hav-
ing been murdered by their mother,who afterwards
attempted suicide, in this case two young girls, of
the ages of four and seven years respectively, were
poisoned by their father, who afterwards destroyed
his own life by plunging a carving knife into vari-
ous parts of his body.
Since Sunday last a person named James John
Muckford, a widower. residing at No. 189, in the
before-named road, had been missed from his home,
as well as two of his children. Nothing unusual
was at first imagined, as some of the neighbours
supposed that the family had gone out to spend the
Whitsun holidays. Late last night, however, in-
formation was given to the police of the mysterious
disappearance of the man and his children,and this
morning Inspector Turpin and Acting Inspector
Gardener, of the M division,proceeded to the house,
when the following awful spectacle presented itself.
Mr. Gardener, upon entering the room, found the
man sitting in a chair in front of the window,
his
head reclining, his trousers down, and his body
covered with blood, which bad flowed from several
wounds in his abdomen, which he had. evidently
inflicted with a large carving knife. The two chil-
dren, named Emily and Catherine, were found lying
in front of the fiteplace, also quite dead. Mr.
Gardener at once sent off for medical assistance,:and
Dr. Henderson quickly attended; and from the ex-
amination made of the contents of a cup, and a paper
found on the table, he had not the least hesitation
in saying that the children haddid from poison,
and the man from the wounds on his
person. Mr,
SuperintendEnt Branford was early in attendance
to look alter the house.

THE COLLIERY INUNDATION AT BILSTON.—Tho
inquest upon the bodies of the four men and three boys
who perished in the inundation at the Bradley Colliery,
near Bilston, the property of Messrs. B. Thormycroft
and Co., was resumed yesterday. The jury returned the
following verdict :—" That the death of the seven deceased
persons was caused by a rush of water into tha pit in which
hey were working, occasioned by the neglect of John Har-
vey, sen., but the jury do not consider the evidence suffi-
cient to criminate him." This was the verdict of 13 of the
14 jurymen, all of whom exonerated the proprietor of the
pit from all blame,

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

A. DETERMINED PROSECUTRIX.—J ulia Arundel, a well-
known thief, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being
concerned in picking the pocket of Ellen Murray, a respeo •
table-looking young woman, servant, at 8, Lonsdale-villas,
Westbourne-grove.

Mr. Louis Lewis, of Ely-place, appeared for the prisoner.

The prosecutrix said while waiting at the corner of Bird
street, Oxford-street, in consequence of a large crowd pass-
ing, a man put his hand into her pocket and took out her
purse containing a sovereign and a half in gold and some
silver. She caught hold of the man's other arm, and he then
passed something to the prisoner, who was close to him.
Ho then got from her and escaped, but she was determined
not to let the prisoner go, and walked her off to the station,
not seeing a constable. On the way to the station the pri-
soner tried to get away, but she kept held of her.

Sergeant Cole, 23 C, gave the prisoner a very bad charac-
ter, and said she had been charged over and over again
with felony, and she had lived with a man who had been
transported.
The prisoner was remanded for a week.

PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mills premium,and the short exchange on London is 25.22. per £l:sterl ing.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
. 1s
17s. Mid. per ounce for
standard gold, it appears that gold
about 1-
11y acivicel th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
s from Hamburg the price of gold is 4261 per mark,n.
Sian he short exchange on London is 13.6 per .£1 sterl n,:
dard gold at the English 'Mint price is, therefore, about
140th per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60- days' sight is 1144 to 1141 per cent., and the premium on
gol I is 41 per cnt. At the above rates there is a profit on the
importation of 1.031 d hem tfie United States.

LAW-THIS DAY. -

COURT OF PROBATE.
(Before the Judge Ordinary.)
IN RB MIRY STOCRLEY.

Dr. Spinks applied for letters of administration to goods
of Mary Stockley, on the part of the executors of her father,
next of kin. Mary Stockley was living in the year 1844,
and in the following year, 1845, she disappeared in a very
singular manner. She was seen by her brother walking
one evening in that year with a strange man, but since that
time down to-the present not the slightest clue as to whether
she was alive or dead could be obtained.

The Judge Ordinary—You apply on the part of her
Father's executors.

Dr. Spinks said that was so; and his present application
was that she might be declared to have died intestate.
Advertisements had been inserted in a variety of newspapers
without the slightest effect.

The Judge Ordinary 'granted the application, as if the
person was living the probability was that she was married.
He thought the learned counsel had a perfccf right to assumo
that Mary Stockley was dead.

SECONDARIES' COURT.
(Beforo Mr. Potter and a Common Jury,)

THE BANK OF DEPOSIT AGAIN.-DAV.ES V. THE NATIONAL

ASSURANCE AND INVESTMENT ASSOCIATION.

This was a writ of inquiry to assess the damages laid at
£2,000, in consequence of defendants not having repaid
certain moneys advanced by the plaintiff.
Mr. Ogle said be understood it was the custom only to
keep one jury in atten lance, and as this case was of some
considerable importance and interest he would wish to ask
whether any gentleman in the jury-box was a shareholder
or creditor, or in any way interested in the company; if so,
he would suggest that they should leave the box and at
once retire, and let some other gentleman be sworn.
The learned Secondary—lt is a very fair and proper in-
quiry to make.
All the jury having declared that they had no interest in
the company—(a laugh)—the case was called.

stated that the train was in motion when the female
attempted to alight from the second class carriage.
One 01 the witnesses further stated that the female
was a little upset but not hurt;
Mr. Corsellis adthitted the identity of his client
to prevent a further adjournment of the summons,
and said he should call two witnesses to prove that
the train had stopped, and had moved on when the
defendant attempted to alight from the carriage.
Emma Shepherd said that on the 4th of February
she was in the service of Mrs. Brown, of Cambridge
Lodge, South-field, Wandsworth. in the evening
of that day she accompanied a young person to the
station for the purpose of seeing her off by the half-
past seven o'clock train to town. The up-train and
the down-train were in the station together. She
put her friend into a carriage in the forepart of the
train, shook her by the hand and returned, and
stood in front of the train. She saw the defendant
getting out when the train moved on slightly. It
had previously stopped. The defendant had a baby
in her arms, and was getting out backwards. She
held the handle of the door with one hand and the
baby with the other. Witness believed her boot
caught, but she did not fall. She screamed, and
witness ran and caught her. Just before there was
a guard's whistle, but she was unable to state from
which train it proceeded. The up-train proceeded
directly after the whistle.
Mr. Ingham inquired how long the train had
stopped before the defendant got out.
The witness said that her friend got into the car-
riage directly, and she only walked the length of
three or four carriages when she saw the defendant
getting out.
Ellen Pill said she remembered the 4th of Feb-
ruary, from her having left Mrs. Brown's service
on the day before. She went to Mrs. Brown's house
on the 4th, and the witness Shepherd accompanied
her to the station. The train had stopped before
she entered the carriage. She always made it a
practice never to get into a carriage before a train
had stopped. She was certain the train had quite
stopped. She did not hear any scream.
This being the case on both sides,
Mr. Ingham said he was called upon to convict.
He never did convict unless it was upon conclusive
evidence. In this case there was considerable con-
tradiction in the evidence, and he should simply_
discharge the summons, without expressing any
opinion as to manner in which the accident had
happened.

BBENTFORD PETTY

CAUTION TO BUTCHERS, DROVERS, &c.
At tho Petty Sessions, at the Town-hall, Brentford (Mr.
F. 11. N. Glossop and a full bench of magietrates), T-Tenry
Hetherington, a butcher, Wm. Widdick, a labourer, and
Richard Weight, a lad in Hetherington's employ, were
charged by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals, the former with having caused and procured a
bull to be cruelly ill-treated and tortured, and the latter two
with having ill•treated and tortured the same animal at
Ealing on the 10th inst.
Mr. Wm. Love, instructed by the secretary of the Royal
Society, attended to conduct the prosecution.
The evidence, which was lengthy, was fully explained in
Mr. Love's opening, from which it appeared that the bull
originally belonged to Baron Rothschild, and was kept on
the baron's estate at. Gunnessbury, being a very docile
animal. A serious accident happening to one of its hind
legs, and all the care bestowed on it by the baron being of
no avail, the baron humanely ordered that it should be sold
to be slaughtered without delay. The defendant (Hether-
ington) became the purchaser, stipulating to send a convey-.
ante for it to the Kingston market on the following day,
but instead of doing so resolved if the animal could be made
to do so it should travel the distance on foot, notwithstan4-
ing it was unable to put its injured foot to the ground.
Widdick, who was employed to drive it, procured
a long pole with an iron hook at the end of it, and fastened
this to a ring which was passed through the animal's nos-
tril, and so by dint of tugging and wrenching at its nostril,
assisted by the defendant Weight, who beat it in a most
brutal manner about the injured leg, the poor animal was
got as far as Kew-bridge, where it came to a standstill, and
at that time some gentlemen combat up, and seeing the
state it was in, interfered and caused it to be slaughtered
and put out of its agony.
The witnesses described the animal's sufferings to have
been intense, and it took nearly five hours to get it to the
shed 150 yards off.
Mr. Love urged that the defendant Hetherington's motive
could only have been to save himself the expense of a con-
veyance, thereby defeating the humane intentions of the
baron. He therefore felt bound to press for a severe punish-
ment.

The Chairman said the Bench could come to no other
conclusion than that cruelty of the grossest kind had:been
inflicted upon the poor animal. Ho should fine the defen-
dant Hetherington £2 and costs, or a month; Widdick, £1
and costs or 14 days; and Weight would be cautioned and
discharged. The Chairman also said the cowman who per-
mitted the bull to be removed in such a state, disregarding
his master's orders, deserved censure.
The Lord Chief Baron Pollock occupied a scat on the
bench, and the case created considerable interest.

SERIOUS GIG ACCIDENT AT BRADFORD.

On Saturday night, about eight o'clock, great conster-
nation was caused amongst hundreds of people in Westgate,
tradlord, by a horse, yoked to a dog-cart, in which two
gentlemen were riding, galloping ntadly through that
Street in the direction of Ivegate and Sirkgate. The first-
named narrow thoroughfare, always thronged on Saturday
evenings, was more than usually crowded at the time in
question, in consequence of many people being there who
had just left the scene of a fire. In the headlong course of
the affrighted and unmanageable horse two women were
tUrt over near to Westgate. At the top of Ivegate the
vehicle came in contact with the corner of the shop
Of Mr. Blackburn, druggist. The two gentlemen were
thrown upon the pavement with great violence, and the
Shafts of the dog-cart breaking, the horse got at liberty and
galloped down Ivegate and into Bridge-street. One of the
gentlemen who had been riding was Mr. John M'Kean, of
spring Bank-place, Mannicgham, and the other was Mr.
!elan C. Munn, traveller for the mercantile firm of Messrs.
L. Pullar send Co., Queen-street, Glasgow, who was staying
at the George Hotel, Bradford. Mr. Munn, in a state of in-
eensibility,was taken into Mr. Blackburn's shop, where Mr.
0. H. Taylor, surgeon, saw him, and directed that he should
be removed to the infirmary. A cab was procured and he was
taken to that institute ri, Mr. Taylor and Police-constable
hushforth going with him. He had received a deep cut on
the left side of his face, and the wound had to be sewn up.
but
were other cuts and bruises about his face and head,
in the opinion of the surgeons his iNjuries were not
°augerous to lite. Mr. M'Kean sustained hurts of a some-
'hat similar character, but less severe. He was able to
proceed to his home in a cab. The two women who were
1•11 n over were Jane Duckworth, wife of John Duckworth,
of Piper-street, O'ley, and Martha Cawood, a cousin of
hers, also from Otley. Mrs. Duckworth had her left leg
brokers and Martha Cawood got her left ankle crushed.
11 oli•
ce-constabie Jagger obtained a cab for them,
had
and
t 637 were both removed to the Infirmary. They
e,enre to Bradford on a visit to friends. Mrs. Duckworth
had a basket with her in which sbe had placed £1 9s. in
ra.,►°racy ; the basket was crushed when she was knocked
down, a crowd immediately surrounded her, and the money
'could not afterwards be found. Many persons had hair-
breadth escapes as the horse galloped down Westgate. At
he bottom of that stree a boy and donkey were overthrown,
and the point of the near shalt of the dog- cart was driven
mite through a panel in the door of Mr. Blackburn's shop.
The runaway horse belongs to Mr. Bairstow, livery stable
,eeper ; it is said to be very little if at all injured.—Leeds

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-April 22.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAPTAIN Ac- 1
KEIILEY AGAlN.—Captain Ackerley, accompanied
by a foreigner, presented himself in the witness-
box, and producing the 24th and 25th Victoria,
demanded under that act to appear for the foreigner
as his counsel.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said he could only hear the party
himself or his attorney.
Captain Ackerley replied that the party was a
foreigner, without money, and unable to Speak
EnglislL
Mr. Tyrwhitt could not depart from the rules
usually observed in police courts.
The foreigner then came forward, and stated that
his name was Peter Basquet, and that he had some
claims against the Go;'ernmevt.
Captain Ackerley said the circumstances were
well known to Lord Palmerston, who wanted to
throw his protege overboard, but he lod stepped in,
and had alreaey spent £1,600 in the pursuit of his
rights.
The foreigner then in disjointed English said hie
flag had been taken from him, awl as was under-
stood he had been deprived of his official appoint-
ment unjustly.
Mr. Tyrwhitt said the matter was out of his
jurisdiction. The application must be made to the
Lord Mayor.
Captain Ackerley—No, this is the proper court.
A summons is wanted against Mr. Arthur Black-
more and Mr. Jeffrey Stanley, who issued the
order.
Mr. TyrkThitt—l distinctly refuse to grant a
summons.
Captain Ackerle:7—Will you give a certificate to
that effect.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—l will not.
Captain Ackerley here burst out violently, de-
claring he was a magit3tratc :Ind would not submit
to the insults he was constantly. receiving.
The parties then left the court.

PRESENT ,DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITII'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

THE AB MY.

By direction of the Duke of Cambridge a general
order has been issued from the Horse Guards,
signed by Sir James Yorke Scarlett, Adjutant-
General, laying down a new code of regulatiqns
for carrying on the musketry instruction of the
army. These rules have been drawn up with a
view to establish uniformity, and to bring under
notice of the General Commanding-in-Chief the
progress in musketry instruction in a clear, concise,
and systematic form.

Orders have been received at Chatham garrison
by Colonel Harness, C. 13., Director of the Royal
Engineer establishment, for the detachment of non-
commissioned officers and men of the Royal En-
gineers who were despatched to:Canada, in the Vic-
toria steam transport, for the purpose of laying
down the telegraphic wires in that colony, but were
unable to proceed in consequence of the breaking-
down of that vessel, to be held in readiness for im-
mediate embarcation to prosecute the work in-
tended to be undertaken. The detachment goes out
under the command of Lieut. J. C. Ardagh, Royal
Engineers, the men being furnished with the wires
and necessary
apparatus for proceeding with the
work of establishing communication between the
different military stations of the colony. The non-
commissioned officers and men have been inspected
13
by Colonel Harness, 0..,
and are ready to embark
at a day's notice.

In accordance with orders issued by Colonel
Chapman, CM., Deputy-Adjutant-General, a num-
ber of the:non-commissioned officers and men of the
Eoyal Engineers ycho have completed their course

UV It RP 00L, TUESDAY.
In a letter which was received here to-day (by
the China) from B,.Altimore is the following:—

"Baltimore, April 8.
" The boat just arrived from Fortress Monroe
brings word that there had been a battle at York-
town, in which the Federals suffered a severe de-
feat. The Merrimac and seven other iron-clad ships
are out. No official information of the above yet
published."

The letter is from a first-class firm in Baltimore,
and the recipients of the letter are merchants at
good standing here, a relative of whom underwent
some imprisonment in America some time since.

to be conducted to the frontier by carbineers. An
attempt made by Ganeral Turr to arrange the affair
was without result."

A letter from Venice states that a deputation,
having at its head Count Bt mbo, the Podestat of
that city, is about to proceed to Vienna, to request
the remission of the supplementary taxes which the
communes of the Lombardo-Venetian Kingdom
are bound to pay for the conscripts who emigrated
in 1861 and 1862. For those two years the com-
mune of Venice alone had to pay 200,000 florins,
and the amount of the supplementary taxes for the
whole of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom is esti-
mated at ten times that sum.

were coming in, regiment after regiment, which
were sent to General Buell, who had again com-
menced to drive the enemy. About three o'clock
in the afternoon General Grant rode to the
left, where the fresh regiments had been ordered,
and, finding the rebels wavering, sent a por-
tion of his body guard to the head of each of
five regiments, and then ordered a charge across the
field, himself leading, as he brandished his sword
and waved them on to the crowning victory, while
cannon balls were falling like hail around him. The
men followed with a shout that sounded above the
roar and din of the artillery, and the rebels fled in
dismay, as from a destroying avalanche, and never
made another stand. General Buell followed the
retreating rebels, driving them in splendid style,
and by half-past 5 o'clock the whole rebel army was
in full retreat to Corinth, with our cavalry in hot
pursuit, with what further result is not known, not
having returned up to this hour. We have taken
a large amount of their artillery and also a number
of prisoners. We lost a number of our forces pri•
Boners yesterday, among whom is General Prentiss,
The number of our force taken has not been ascer-
tained yet. It is reported at several hundred.
Gen. Prentiss was also reported as being wounded.
Among the killed on the rebel side was their Gene-
ral-in-Chief, Albert Sydney Johnston, who was
struck by a cannon ball on the afternoon of Sunday.
Of this there is no doubt, as the report is corrobo-
rated by several rebel officers taken to-day. It is
further reported that General Beauregard had his
arm shot off. This afternoon Generals Bragg,
Breckinridge, and Jackson were commanding posi-
tions of the rebel forces. There has never been a
parallel to the gallantry and bearing of our officers,
from the commanding-general to the lowest officer.
Gen. Grant and staff were in the field, riding along
the lines in the thickest of the enemy's fire during
the entire two days of the battle, and all slept
on the ground on Sunday night during a heavy
rain. On several occasions General Grant got
within range of the enemy's guns and was dis-
covered and fired upon. Lieutenant - Colonel
M'Pherson had his horse shot from under him
when alongside of General Grant. Captain Carson
was between General Grant and your correspondent
when a cannon ball took off his head, and killed and
wounded several others. General Sherman had two
horses killed under him, and General M'Clernand
shared like dangers, also General Hurlburt, each o
whom received bullet-holes through his clothes,

General Buell remained with his troops during the
entire day, and, with General Crittenden and Gen.
Nelson, rode continually along the lines encourag-
