FURTHER PARTICULARS.

From the account kindly furnished by Mr. King,
the surgeon, it appears that the boy, aged one year
and nine months, bad the whole of the front portion
of his throat cut through, dividing all the arteries, the
head alone adhering to the body by the vertebrae.
The child (a girl), aged between four and five, was
not injured in the front of her throat. From appear-
ances it is presumed that she must have been eating
bread and butter in her bed at the time when her
unhappy father entered the room, and that on observ-
ing him approach with the weapon of destruction
bedewed with gore, she turned upon her face, and
thus presented an obstacle to her being destroyed
by an attack in front. Accordingly it would seem
that the murderer must have forced the point of
the knife into the nape of the neck, where only a
small puncture was visible ; but the cervical vertebrae
and spinal morrow had,.nevertheless, been completely
severed, and the knife must evidently been twisted
round in the wound in order effectually to accomplish
his murderous purpose. The state of the child, also
a girl, who at present survives, evinces the dt sperate
struggle she must have made in defence of her life,
for there are several frightfully gaping wounds in
various parts of her body. Three are in the neck,
the weapon fortunately missing the jugular vein, and
several on the hands—very deep on one of the thumbs,
indicating that she had seized the murderous knife in
self-defence. None of her injuries are mortal, but
considerable danger is to be apprehended from he-
morrhage. Faucett was not found leaning over the
sink, as before described, but in the garden, into
which he rushed after inflicting upon himself in the
back kitchen wounds which caused him to fall upon
his back and expire in about five minutes. The wound
in his throat had a most ghastly appearance. It was
gaping so wide as to have admitted the insertion of
an entire hand. The jugular vein and carotid artery
were completely cut through, and the head
nearly severed from the body, showing the evident
determination of the unhappy man to destroy his own
life. On the arrival of Mr. King, he proceeded to the
parlour at the back of the shop. His attention was
first directed to the surviving child, who was sitting
on a chair, but on looking round he saw the youngest
child lying as if thrown in a corner of the room, quite
dead. By her side was a tray, containing three slices
of bread and butter (a portion in her mouth), as also
a cup upon the ground, broken to pieces. The bread
and butter, as well as the bed-clothes, were literally
soaked with blood. The whole scene was most ap-
palling. It is believed that the dreadful tragedy has
no parallel since the lamentable occurrence which
took place in Southampton-street, Pentonville, many
years since, when Steinberg perpetrated crimes of
equal magnitude and with equally melancholy and
awful results.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.
IPSWICH, SEPT. 30.
We had a very much smaller supply of wheat at
market to-day, and the late exceedingly low prices which
wheat realized have determined the growers to give up
threshing; hence all qualities must be written fully is
per quarter dearer than last week. Barleys were in in-
creased supply; the trade heavy, and for any below the
best picked samples, a decline of 2s per quarter must be
written. Beans and peas firm, and rather dearer.

HULL, SEPT. 30.
:Messrs. Taylor and Bright's Circular states:—Arri-
vals of grain have been moderate daring the week; but
since our list was made up have somewhat iacreased,
especially of linseed, the major part of which, however,
being on Crushers' account, does not come on the
market. The wheat trade has to some extent recovered
from its late extreme depression; and although many
foreign orders have been in town for Ilareburgh and
Baltic account, chiefly to store here, or mix with old
foreign now in warehouse, but few have been executed,
they being based on the low prices taken by farmers a
fortnight back, of 32s to 34s per quarter, and to weigh
631bs. per bushel—an advance of fully 2s per quarter
upon last Tuesday's prices has been paid during the
weak, and nothing at all suitable for storing can now be
procured under 35s to 36s per quarter, and even at these
rates not much is offering. There was a moderate sup-
ply of E❑glish wheat to-day, and having a good demand
both from the trade and millers, our farmers were able to
obtain fully 2s per quarter more money than the cur-
rent rates of last week; samples were more various than
for the last week or two. An improved demand for fo-
reign wheat, but very little offering on terms at all com-
mensurate with those taken for new English, there being
but little on shipboard, and granv.ried parcels are mostly
withdrawn for better times. Only a slow trade for
barley, inferior English occupying the place of foreign
to a great extent in the inland counties. Prices cf malt-
ing aro very irregular; not much new shown to-day.
Not much business passing in other descriptions of
spring, except in mere retail. Although, as stated
above, the bulk of the import of linseed does not come on
