MURDER IN A LONDON  WORKHOUSE. Between seven and eight o'clock on the evening of which ie attached to the City of London the 2fith ult. a shocking murder was committed in the infirmary Union, situate+ in the Mile-end root. From the facts am they can be at present gleaned, it appears that on Monday a constable of the City police foroe found a man lying ineensible. in or near Aldersgate-MreetsH. conveyed him to the Moor-lane Station, where the inepector on duty had him examined by the divisional surgeon, who advised hie removal to the , workhouse, and he was in consequence placed in a cab, and conveyed to the City of London Union. Hs was here seen by the medical officer, who ordered him to be taken to the infirmary. He was soooedingly carried there, still insensible, and placed in room by himself, away from the rest of tho patients, with en attendant to look after him, His pockets were examined, and in them was discovered a , passport and other papers, which showed the bearer I to be David Saleneskam, a native of the village of Paruts, in the province of Kalviarany, Ruseia. A few hours after hie reception at the infirmary Sideneskain recovered coneciousnees, set up in bed, and evinced a desire to enter into conversation with those about him, being, however, unable to sneak more than a few words of English. A man -named Morris, who had been an inmate of the infirmary since about the beginning of March last, was sent for to talk with him. Harris (who was a Polish Jew) being well acquainted with the Russian language, Saleneskam seemed very pleased to find that Harris could sneak hie own tongue, and readily entered into oonversation with him, and they conversed together during the day, Saleneekani seeming very quiet and calm, though somewhat strange in hie manners. About seven °clock in the evening Harris was sitting at a table reading, another patient named Kollingsworth being in the room also. All of a eudden Saleneekam jumped out of bed, caught hold of a chair, and, rushing at Harris, aimed a blow at him, which, however, he managed to avoid, receiving little or no injury. Saleneskam then darted at Harris, and rained blow after blow upon his head, washing the chair into pieces, and literally knocking out the poor fellow's' brains, which were mattered all over the table and floor. Kollingsworth shouted "Murder ! and "Help !" as loudly ache could, and a bricklayer named Hughes, who was at work on the premises close by, game running into theroom, followed by othere, and among them they managed to overpower Saleneskam, and force him on to the bed, where they strapped him down. The police were called u+, but, on their arrival, they found the murderer foaming and shrieking In a way which at onceshowed him to hemn a state of raving madness. He was accordingly detained at the infirmary, and the body of his victim removed to the mortuary to await an inquest.

MISTAKEN FOR AN ASSASSIN. A Paris paper states that a man and his wife were taking a walk along the Quai d'lstry, accompanied by their children, to enjoy the coolness of the night air. Arrived at a spot where there was an open space, tho husband noticed something that he wished to examine, and asking his wife to wait for him , a few minutes, he jumped over a wall and disappeared. His wife and toe children therefore strolled down to the water's edge to await his return. At the end of a quarter of an hour, her husband not having returned, the lady became anxious, and going to the spot where he had disappeared she called out his name several times, but received no answer. While thus engaged a young fellow made his appearance from the direction in which the absentee had vanished, and, almost beside herself with apprehensions she rushed at the unluokyyoung fellow, and,seising him by the arm, loudly accused him of having murdered bee husband. Not knowing what to make of the attatk, sad suspecting some trick, he broke away from his accuser and rushed down to the Seine with the intention of throwing himself in to escape. Luckily, perhaps, for him some people had heard the woman's cries, end men the assumed assassin of her husband descend the river bank, and came up in time to prevent him entering the swat r. His explanations satisfied the new comers that he was entirely guiltless of the crime laid to his charge, and they released him, afterwards conducting the deeerted fpons4 and her children back to her home. Arrived there, they found the unoonscieuti cause of all the trouble, who, not having been able to find his wife and children where he had left them, had returned to his abode under the impression that they had preceded him by some other road. The feelings of the lady may be imagined.

THE GRAVELOTTE ANNIVERSARY. There were festive doings at Berlin on the lthla hut. in the barracks of the let Dragoon Guards, that bold and blue-nutted regiment of horse which did such heroic service at Mars-la-Tour on that day ten years ge, Having hurried by almost euperhuman effort round to the west of Meta, the led and part of the 10th c..rps, it may be remembered, forming part of the army under Prince Frederick Charles, managed, with grim and dogged tenacity, to hold fast until reinforcements came no towards evening the whole Grand Army of the Rhino under Marshal thteaine, which was trying to °roar to Verdun. The handful of Germans was frightfully out up, and their outflanking and annihilation were only prevented ay the self-sacrificing and repeated charges of several masses of cavalry which were launched against the enemy. Prominent among them daunt. lees death rides wins the combined onset on the French right of three squadrons of the 7th, or Br mark Cuirassiers, with as many of the 16th Lancers al urge immortalised by Freiligrath's stirring •' Trumpeter of Gravelotte"—the doubling up of ten French cavalry regiments by Von Barby and six regiemote of horse, and the charge of the let Dragoons of the Prussian Guard who emerged from the murderous melte with the loss of fifteen officers and 126 men, not to speak of the numerous wounded, among whom were the two only sons of Prince Bitimarck. To celebrate, therefore, the anniversary of this glorious day the officers of this regiment gave a grand luncheon, which was honoured by the presence of the Emperor, the Crown Prins°, Princes Charle. Frederick and Charles Albert, and other bigh military personages. The regiment, reinforced by the 2nd Dragoon Guards, was drawn up to receive the Emperor on the Bar-k Q .adrangle, and, after inspecting the men and exchanging a few familiar words with most of the officer., his Majesty addressed his •• children," hoping that the exaniple set them by their predecesore might always remain before them, and that if ever serious claims were made upon them they . would stow themselves worthy inheritors of their I name. The occas on has also been signalised by the I publication of a laborious and splendidly got up : history of the regiment by Rittmeister Hans von Rohr, of the same.

Sweeney and Gannon, who are charged on suspicion with being concerned in the murder of Lord Mountmorres, were brought up before Mr. Dennehy, RM., and Mr. Joseph S. Blake, J.P., at Clonbur. They were removed from Galway Gaol for the purpoee, and were handcuffed together—a proceeding against which Gannon protested. The little courthouse was crowded, and was halffilled with police. The Rev. Mr. Conway and the secretary of the Land League were present. Mr. O'Farrell, Crown solicitor, appeared for the Crown; and Mr. infalley, barrister, for the prisoners. Sub-Inspector Murphy, who had been in temporary charge of the district up to the day, was then sworn, and his deposition was read to the effect that he had that morning received most important information, which required to be fully investigated, that some days must necessarily elapse before the investigation could be completed, and that he was satisfied that if the prisoners were remanded important evidence, which could not at pelmet be procured, would be forthcoming, and that it was in the interests of justice that the prisoners should be remanded. Conned for the prisonere requested that the former information should be read over, as otherwise he could not be in a position to crossexamine Mr. Murphy, nor could he even know what was the charge against the prisoners. Mr. O'Farrell submitted that he had made out • sufficient case for a remand. Mr. Dennehy said the information was very strong. Mr. O'Farrell had no objection to Mr. O'Malley cross-examining Mr. Murphy as to anything contained in his information just read. Mr. Dennehy asked Mr. O'Farrell whether he thought he would be prepared to go into the cam next court day, for unless he then showed a strong case he would not grant another remand. Mr. O'Farrell replied in the affirmative, and added that in Mr. Young's case in the county Roscommon and in Lord Leitrim's case numerous remand. were granted. Mr. Dennehy mid the Beneh would grant a remand for n week. Mr. O'Malley then briefly orom-examined : Mr. Murphy, mking him where he had received the information. Mr. Murphy, under advise, declined to answer. Mr. O'Malley asked whether it was in the town of Clonbur or eleewhere. The witness declined to answer. In reply to further questions the witness mid it was quite impossible for him to have the evidence referred to in the informalon ready for the Court that day; that he hoped to have it at next Bitting, but a day or two more might be necessary. He also swore th it it was not possible for him to have the evidence before that—it was only that day he heard it; and that it was relative to the prisoners. Mr. Dennehy sari, in answer to Mr. O'Malley, that unless the Crown made a very strong ewe next court day, he would discharge the prisoners. The prisoners were then r. mended for a week. An application by Mr. O'Malley to have them admitted to bail was refused, and the prisoners were taken back to the police-barracks, whence they were removed by steamer from Cong to Galway.

EMBARRASSING ARREST.  The arrest of n Russian, sap a Para§ correspondent, has become, tinder existing circumstances, e considertable and emiarrnesing political event. He is &Out 35. Situ name is said to be Hartmann. He wan arrested eoming out of the Diorama in the Chajnps Elys6inz Some friends with him protested, but 'did not in any violent manner resist the police. It is suggestee by the Russian Einbassy that he was the owner of the house near Moscow from which the mine was laid to blow up the Imperial train. Ibis alleged that's photograph identifies him as the man, His ' arrest was owing to telegrams sent to him in the provinces, warning him to beware, of which the police took notice. The presidents of the three groups of the Left waited on H. Cazot to express the hope that no Russinn should be given up on a liter° political accusation. The Minister replied that he had no certain information. There is no extradition treaty between Prance and Russia, but there are many precedents for giving up commom law criminals. If there should be reasonable proof that Hartmann, who is said to have atiretwous aliases, attempted to blow up the train in which the Czar was travelling, the Government will not her.itate to give him up Be a com Mon murderer, but it will be very careful not to surrender a man merely suspected of political disaffection. It is true that the leaders of the three Left groups have expressed a hope to M. de Preycinet that the law may not be strained against this foreigner; but their representation was made two dap before the new's of the dreadful Winter Palace catastrophe, with which in any case the Russian prisoner is not accused of complicity. After conferring with M. Cuot, the Left deputies resolvnd to leave the matter in the discretion of the Ministry, and make no interpellation. A St. Petereburg correspondent says The arrest in Paris of the individual named Hartmann, suspected of the Moscow attempt of let December, is confirmed. ' The police have all along been looking for such a person. One of that mune arrested in the NijniNovgorod Government proved net to be thee individual wanted. There is no extradition treaty between Prance and Russia, but it is conkidered that the person charged will be surrendered on priond focir proof of complicity in the crime being furnished, although evidently the question is not without serious difficulties.  THE CREDITORS OF THE WEST OF ENGLAND Bsim.—The official liquidators of the late West of England Bank hope to induce its creditor, to make a concession similar to that made by the creditors of the Glasgow Bank. They intimate that they are ready to borrow money on the security of the assets of the bank, and pay the reri3aining 3a. Out, in the pound ,to the creditors in April next, if they will forego all claims to interests. If not, the creditors will have to wait an ' indefinite period until the assets Sc. realised.
