At all events, they ace not as a rule guilty of Role of brutal violence. That was one of the grounds which led him to believe that the verdict of the jury would be onu which would acquit the prisoner at the bar. He took confidence also from the uuliagring lion which the jury had desotth to the conaidera. tion of this ease.

MURDER AND CANNIBALISM AT  SEA.  HUMAN FLESH FOR SUSTENANCE,  IA terrible story of the sea has be ,n told at Cuxhaven by Captain And,reort, of the Danish Ibex me Heroism who has just landed there three seamen of the Norwev;ien ship Telda, of Toeusberg. According to the statemont of these men, who were taken on board the Ilerim.n in a state !of mental aberration, from which one of them is still suffering, the Tekla was on a voyage I from Ph ladelph.a to Havre, laden with petroleum. Severe weather,which covered the decks cent intuidly with water, eventually caused the vessel to leak ,to an eetent necessitating her abadidonment, ' The master, first mate, and eight seamen were successful in launching a boat and leaving the Tekla. The other boats were destroyed whilst beinclowered, so that nine men level to remain on bard and take refuge in the masts, without the possibility of obtain:ng any nourishment whatever from below. Of these unfortunates Eve in succession jumped into the sea in the frenzy of delir:um. The three Norwegians who have been landed at Cuxhaven remained, together with a Dutch comrade, in the masts from the 22nd of December until the 7th of January with absolutely no food, and with the dew of the ropes Its the only means of assuaging thirst. It is stated that on the 13th day of this privation and exposure the Dutch seaman onsred his life for the preservation of that of the others. Notwithstanding this otTer lets were drawn twice, the unlucky number faling on each occasion to the Dutchman, who was then killed by his fellowsufferers. Upon this horrible sustenance the miserable men managed to exist until the 7th of January, when they were rescued by a boat from the Herman in 39 29 N. Ist and n 46 W long. How far this terrible revelation will prove true it is at present, on ea .ount of the men's mental state, import. Date to say.  At a meeting of Manchester City Council on Wed. nesday Sir John Harwood said the Ship Canal works were proceeding very rapidly and very oathsfactorily, and when they received the report of the instal: months working it would inspire confidence in the minds of everybody who had to do with the Ship Canal.

CONCLUSION. ALL IS WHIZ THAT ENIK: Mrs Linden was quietly consigted to her grave i,, Greenwood. The murder of fityoto was a mys. tory which was never unravelled, and such measure, were taken as led the world to believe that he died of disease of the heart. But in the pocket of the dregs worn by Mrs Linden on that day was found a curiously fashioned in trument resembling a tiny cinieter, made of gold, which on examination proved to be a more deadly and certain wapou of destruction than a battle axe wielded by Vie strongest arm. A few days after the funeral Clara resoled New Terk with her happy and triumphant husband. The estate was now hers beyond dispute, tut on learning the true history of the cousins she set led on Madame Latude a handsome surn, and her sense of justice aould not be sate lad without providing for Lunt/ey in a liberal manner. n annuity saMicient to supply a cry rational want was secured to him for life.  Mrs Seyton and her datight• r had already established a to rishing bus'n,rus. bat Madeline had fallen into a state of melancholy madness which rendered it necessary to pin 'o her where she could be properly taken care of. When Linden became aware of tliia, he would not ons-nt that she should be placed in an asylum: he caused a room in his father's house ta be fitted up for her accommodation, and performed the penance he considered due to his wrongs against her, by watching o er the vagaries of a wan lerin,g mind with a .patience and tenderness which proved how noble WU the nature which had so long strayed from the path of rect tale; and is there not "more joy in Heaven over one sinner that repenteth than over ninoLy and nine just men For the few ie raining months of her life all that the most devoted care could do to alleviate her settle l melancholy was done by him. One bright day in early autumn she was laid beside the little lad who had been the one joy of her broken life. Three years rolled away, and the venerable father was summoned to join the ea avan of death, which gathers its rasaengers at every Hitting moment of tone. Serene-and resigned, he had bat one wish unfulfilled.  His son had reco- rerel his health and spirits, he hal taken a stand among, men which promised a brilliant future, but the darling wish that lay nearest the father's heart was not yet realised. Elinor sat beside his couch, his son bent over him to catch his lais words. He held their hands clasped in his own, and a brie.t smile irradiated his features as be oined them together. Linden earnestly regardol the bowed bead; he whispered—  " Eihe.ll it ever be, Elinor? Can you trust me ?" A faint pressure of the hand replied, and the dying lips murinured— "Thanks, my child—my daughter at last! I am happy; I am now ready to go. Oh, Father Jehovah! reoerce thy erring son, and grant him fo:giveness ;" and the relea-ed spirit aped away to the Illailß/01:8 of light. [Tin gND.I

Belk held an enquiry at the Northumberland Hotel, Middlesbrough, into the circumstances attending the death of Jane Smith, 3i years of age, whose parents reside at 15, Cannon-street. The child was left in the house by its parents on Tuesday night, and on the father's return it was found to have been burned to death. —Ellen Smith said she was the wife of William Smith, who was • journeyman tailor. Ile had nut done anything for some time. Her friends kept her and her husband and family. On Tuesday night shortly before 7 she left She house to go to her parents at 83, Russellstreet. Her husband had gone out just previously. There was no one to look after the children, and the fire was unguarded. She went to her parents to get food for the children. The child in question was born before the was married. She had not heard her husband say he wished it was dead. The child was insured for sa. When she returned home at half-past seven the child was dead. When she went out she locked ' the door and placed the key inside the window.— Wm. Smith said he was a tailor, but he had not worked since two days before New Year. lie had done a bit of bird-catching, but denied baying been guilty of poaching. He last worked at Normanby. On Tuesday night he went out leaving his wife and children in the house. On his return shortly before half -oast seven he saw the deceased child lying on the floor in a dying condition, with its clothes burned. Alfred Bullock said he lived next door to Smith. He was called in on Tuesday night, and found the child dead from burns.— Inspector Atkinson said Smith kept company with the worst thieves in Cleveland. —The Coroner said the jury had no alternative but to return a verdict that deceased met her death through injuriea accidentally received—Mr Wake, foreman of the jury, said be thought the Smiths ought to be reprimanded for their conduct, and the Coroner and jury con carted--The parents were then called into the loom, and the Coroner intimated that the jury and h. regretted that they had no alternative but to return a verdict of accidental death, but the jury thought—and he entirely agreed with them— that they (Smith and his wife) were directly reepons Bible for the death of the child in leaving It as they had done. He hoped the Inspecttor to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children would report the case with a view to seeing whether proceedings should out be taken against them.
