THE ROAD MYSTERY.—lnspector Whicher, the London detective formerly engaged to investigate this mystery having this week re-appeared on the scene of the tragedy, no little interest and curiosity have been excited by his visit. It is unknown if his reappearance is in any way connected with the murder; but, as may be inimagi.ed, everyone believes that he would not be there for any other purpose. Miss Constatiee Kent left for France last week. In Road it is said she is about to enter a convent, and that the world will never see her more. Mr Kent and his family have also left Road. It is said the Government is going to confer another office on him, and the statement that he smi his family intend tract:Ming is contradicted. The viewing prior to the sale at Road Hill House commenced on Friday, and such has been the, demand for catalogues, that it is anticipated that several thousands will visit the house and grounds. It is said that Mrs Kent has been offered a very large slim for the cot, but it is positive that it will not be sold.—Globe. MR Bennett. the editor of the New York Herald, the most widely circulated of newspapers, is thus described by the New York Dispatch: .% We have answered the question repeatedly of late—the nationality of Jame Gordon Bennet, proprietor of the Herald? He is a subject of Great Britian and Ireland. He is not, and no consideration could induce him to become, a citizen of this country. In politics he is an absolutist, and much prefers the system of government inaugurated by Louis Napoleon to that even of England. It is his earnest desire to break up the Confederacy of the United States, hoping that out of its ruins a government will arise that will be essentially autocratic in its features. To carry on his programme. he employs as writers to the columns of the Herald men whom he is fully persuaded are inimicle to the continuance of the Union, and hostile to democracy— roan who are avowed Secessionists and Monarchists. The Herald has done more than all the other papers published to bring about the evils which at present exist, and which every true-hearted American laments." MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT IN RETI'RNING TR2M A WEDDING —On Saturday afternoon, an ii que.t was held at Tedesater. near this city, on view of the body of Mrs Wormald, the wife of a wealthy merchant at Dewsbury. It seems that the lady had been attending the wedding of Miss Battye, of Skelton, four miles from York, who was married on Thursday week to T. H. Cook, Esq., of Dewsbury. On Friday afternoon, she and her husband, who travelled in their OWD carriage. were returning home, when on descending the hill at Tadcaster Bridge, the coachman, while leaning over the box to disengage the brake handle, overbalanced himeelf and fell from his seat. The horses, finding their heads free, set off at a rapid pace on the Leeds road, when, as they approached a toll gate, the affrighted inmates of the carriage attempted to escape. Mr Wormald leaped out with the view of stopping the horses, but, unfortunately, he fell and hurt himself. Mrs Worrnald then jumped down, and falling on her head, she sustained such injuries as to cause death almost immediately afterwards, and before Mr Upton, surgeon, of Tadcaster, could be in attendance. The horses were slackening their speed when this very melancholy accident occurred, and were soon stopped. The deceased was conveyed to the Lontlesborough Arm*, Tadcaster, where the inquest was held. The jury returned a verdict of" Accidental death." The deceased was 32 years of age, and has left two children.
