The Arabia brings no important news from
the seat of war. The Emperor of Russia de-
clares that he will not abate anything from his
pretensions. His reply to the Austrian sum

point the hopes of Europe. The King of Prus-

asked for an armistice, but that Austria and

until the Russian forces are withdrawn from the
municipalities.

ANOTHER HORRIBLE MuRDER.-From the New
York Express, of the Sd inst, we clip the follow
ing account of shocking murder in Brooklyn
Last night about 10 o'clock, the neighbor-
hood of Atlantic street, in this city, was thrown
| into state Of great excitement, by o report
that horrid murder had been committed by
Mr.. ]. N. Tucker, editor of the Brooklyn Daily
Freeman, who had killed one of his children,
and severely cut the throat of his wife. On
making inquiries, we discovered the report to be
too true, and we then gathered the following
particulars of the tragic occurrence:
The unfortunate Mr.. Tucker, it appears re-
sided with his wife and three children at the
house No. 403 Atlantic street, and last evening
he left the office Of the Brooklyn Daily Freeman,
in perfectly sober state to proceed home. On
his way, he called with friend and drank some
rum, which intoxicated him, and he arrived
home at about nine o'clock, carrying with him
small popgun for the children, with which
they began to play. In short time they quar-
relied about it, and, hearing them crying, he
became excited, and told them in an excited
manner that they should not quarrel about the
popgun more than half an hour.
ssShortly afterwards he got up from his seat
and took razor from case, and laying hold
of the little boy four years old, cut his throat
from ear to ear, severing the jugular vein and
killing him instantly. As he was about to COM
nit the fatal deed the child cried in pitiable ac-
cents, Don't kill me, daddy" and these were
the last words the poor babe spoke, for in Sec
: ond he was dead. The mother, who was in the
room, and little thought that her husband was
about to commit the horrid deed, shrieked, and
! he Immediately caught hold of her and cut her
throat from the left ear, but the razor missed
the jugular vein and cut the cheek He then
made two other attempts at her throat, making
severe gashes, but she struggled and fought
with him, and prevented his accomplishing his
murderous purpose. The daughter of the un.
fortunate man, and her brother, escaped from
the room and gave the alarm, and soon Officer
Caverly, of the Third District and several other
persons rushed up stairs to withhold his muir.
