The wife lay near the fire-place, with her two

husband lay at a short distance from her, sitli hi
thrtuttcut most dreadfully. The Unor wss drenched
with blood from one end to the other. The Jjr,

witnesses.,

Edward Weigher n , Aon.to the deceased, was
examined. lie deposed that he was. eight years and
a half .old ; on Friday, about one o'clock, his father
"took the •carving-knife, end sharpened it ne a
betcher's steel ; he then laid a large walkiwg.iiret
on the table, and said he would murder the titer
son that came into the room. About half-past one
witness's mother got up to go down %fairs, when hi,
father went het ween her and the dour, locked is, sud
put the key in his pocket. At this time witness% lit.
tie sister, about six years of age,and his little brother
about four years old, were in the room. Ills ninil,o;
then said,"What are yougoing to do with me 1.1
soon let you know," said the father, holding the
carving knife in his hand. They then walked u., aui
down the room several times, and lit last his 01011,1
ran to the door and beat it violently with her fist,
calling for help. Ilia father then seized her and gave
her a stab on each breast with the carving knife, and
then cut her head nearly off, so that it hung behind.
Witness and his brother and sister cried " Murder!"
His father stood over his mother a few minutes after
he had done the deed, and then, hearing people
coming tip stairs, he walked to the niicklle of the
room, and taking off his neckkerrhief, cut his
own throat, and instantly fell. Soot'. otereardit some
persons forced open the door, and sent for a surgeon:
witness's father was still alive, but (lied its ten minutes.
Witness's father, the night before, took the caring
knife from the knife-box, and struck himself violent.;
ly on the breast three times with the handle. Abnet
twelve months back he was confined in Bethnal.

however, he conducted himself very quietly, and
working at his trade as a tailor, till last week, when
he showed symptoms of insanity. Ou Thursday night
a man sat up with him, but the man went away its
the morning, and the deceased went to work in mak.
ing a waistcoat. They had lodged its the house about
eight weeks. ' Hia .father and mother had not guar.

murdesedidas and, his little brother sad sister, even if
the people had pot come upt
The child gateh eidaelstet so clearly and satisfar-
troily, that the Coroner did not think it necessary to
=Wally more witnesset to prove the cases of the
death of the unhappy people.

posed, that she, had been mareled,to Wm. Weghora
about fifteen years, they were both about 31 years at
age. Knew that, the deceased was in a mad.hoase
twelve months age ; was sent for last week, and
found him evidently labouring under mental iterauge-
ment ; heard him say, they would all be hanged,
drawn, and quartered, before the morning and made
hay, a fire.. Had not the elightest doubt that at the
time the act was committed, he, was incapable of
knowing what be was about.—This was all the evi-
dence called.

The Jury found the following verdict :.•-•" The
deceased, Jane Waghorn, came to her death by the
violent act of her husband, Wm. Weghorn; the
said Wm. Waghorn died by his own hands, but at
the same timethe committed both acts, he was incept.
ble of judging betweeu right and wrong."

The children have ,heen sent to. ►he Workhouse;
they are extremely iuceres►ing, and exhibit an u►►eaaN
mon intelligence for their years.

We have letters and papers from Christiania to the

landing of NAPOLEON in France, and the two* av•
peered to be pleased with the circumstance and heartily
to wish him success. The adventure was also knots a
in Denmark, bat had produced no striking espressieo
of the public feeling. The King continued at Vietnoi,
and it was presumed would remain there mail the bu•
einess at Congress should be concluded. His epeli-
cation for the grant'of Pomerania had bee" hitherto

The following lamentable instance 4f the (linger
arising from the practice of placing liowors iu poison
thaoutside of houses, without fastening, riccurreil
few days ago, in Salisbury-street, in the Strand. A
mother was walltkncin apt etceet,paith her infant in
her arms,' when one of thesi pois was blown off A
window, and halite upon the child, killed it on the
spot. The state of the poor mother is not to be de.
scribed, as she herself placed the flower.pot in the
situation front whence it was blown., The Public are
perhaps not generally aware, that this. practice .is in
direct violation of an Act of Perliament, which, it is
hOpett, will be enforced.
Friday morning, about two o'clock, some vil-
lains broke into the house of Mr. Parker, !owe-
broker, at Itatherhitite, .add ,(rile Vern thence plate
and other articles .amounting to 60,11. The utmost
exertion is titeking by the different Officers of police
to afecover the offenders. •
