RIOS= TO DEATH.  There seems to has homicidal mania prevailing among a certain portion of the Irish population in the county of Durham. A very brutal murder, the fifth committed by Irishmen in that county within a very few months, occurred at South Shields at midnight on Saturday. An Irish labourer, named Peter Tracey, living with his wife In a miserable cellar in East Adelaidemtreet, came home about nine o'clock at night, drank and lay down before lice fire, where he fell asleep. About eleven o'clock he was aroused by some companions, and they clubbed together and sent off Tracey wife for half • gallon of beer, but she did not return until midnight, when she appeared to have also become a little the worse for liquor. As soon as she got Into the backyard her husband met her and attacked her. He knocked her down, and it would appear then dragged her down a flight of steps, when he again abused her, and kicked her frightfully in the abdomen with heavy clogs which he had on his feet. She by some means or other, managed to get out ef his hands, and ran Into the house, where he again made an attack upon her, knocked her down on the floor, and kicked her about her body in a most brutal manner. She cried loudly for help, and a neighbour named Elizabeth Rudd, alarmed by her shouts, entered the house to render aesistance. She procured a fight, the room being In darkness, and found Mrs. Tracey lying on the floor in a pool of blood in an Insensible state, whereupon Rudd asked Tracey if he knew what be had done. He growled, "She shall not make a fool of me. I am sot finished with her yet," and made a rush again as if to kick her, but was prevented by a man named Christopher Donohen, who had come to the spot. He struck out at Denobon saying, "If you don't leave me! shall also kill you," Lid blackened one of his eyes. He was, however, presently induced to go down stairs, and sat down at the fire. Three other men, named Alexander Martin, Thomas Stove, and Charles Dodds, also went into the house, and saw the woman lying on the floor. Dr. Frein and his assistant were soon at the house, but found the woman puiseless, and she died a quarter of an hew after. The prisoner was taken to the police-station, and, on being charged, he replied, "She left me in the house for about two hours along with the children, and when she returned I gave it her." When told she was dead, he replied, " You do not mean to say so—are you telling me the truth I" Then he burst into a fit of crying, fell on the floor of the police.etation, shouting for the Virgin and all the saints to protect him, and for a couple of hours after he was locked in a cell, the panic-stricken coward's yells of terror could be heard afar off.

OOO. AN ORCHESTRA OFFENDED BY A CRITIC. —A singular revolt broke out at the La Scala theatre in Milan a few nights back during the performance of the Huguenots. The orchestra had lately been the subje-A of some severe strictures in the Perseveranza, and the Instrumentalists on the evening in question observing Dr. Filippo Frlippl, musical critic of that journal, among the audience, proceeded in a body to the director, and refused to continue their duties so long as the offending writer should remain in the lance. The manager in hi 4 embarrassment appealed to De. Filippi, who refieved him from hie difficulty by immediately quitting.the theatre.  FROM A STATEMENT MAO by Lord Althorp, iti the House of Commons, in the session of 1833, we leari, that during the last three mouths of each of the five years ending in 1832, the murders in the province or Leinster alone increased from 10 to 163 ; of robberies, from 60 to 487 ; and of burglaries, from 39 to 1,827 : within four years after the passing of the emancipation measure which was to inaugurate an era of universal peace and goodwill, did not by any means realise the wonder-working power of the new panacea The Rock LORD MONRODDO would have rejoiced to see the realisation of his theory in the person of a horrible little loses natero: to whi;ll a Jewess has just given birth in the Jewish hospital here.

The mother fortunately died in giving birth to this little monster, who is as vivacious and healthy as possible. The editor of the Gaulois has been to see this creature, and gives us (Paris correspondent of the Observer) these details from ocular demonstration. THE Times of bale says that the distress caused by the long.contioued drought has become widely spread throughout the North Western Provinces and other districts of India. " The local and supreme governments," it adds, "have acted with commendable promptitude with a view to relieve the starving populations. Cattle are suffering severely from the want of fodder and water in the famine districts. It is said in one district alone, near Delhi, 30,000 have perished from those causes. To lessen the distress in the famine districts, larae numbers of people are to be employed on public works in the North West Provinces, Bind, Ac." NOTHING has transpired to throw light on the murder of Edmund Tracy, a respectable farmer, who a raw days ago was found dead near the Limerick Janction Station, his throat having been cut across. He was last ieen alive some hours previously in the town of Tippe rary, where he was engaged in marketing. On hie person were found 6s. and a deposit rece,pt for £5O. Two men, named Michael Byrne and Andrew Carroll were arrested on suspicion, but no evidence could be ad. limed at the inquest to implicate them, and they were discharged by the resident magistrate.

SALE OF A LIFE INTEREST.—EXTRA- THE STATE OF IRELAND. I I ORDINARY SUIT. Judge Harrison opened the Tyrone Assizes, at I Omagh, on Tuesday. He said there were only five new cases for investigation in addition to two bills I from the last Assizes. The report of the County ' Inspector of Constabulary was most satisfactory, showing only nine serious cases since the last Assizes, against thirty-nine for the same period last year. This was owing to the total disappearance from the county of the crime of sending threatening letters, and he said that was the only county in which a Judge had been enabled to make such a remark. An important meeting of the tenantry of Sir Richard Wallace, M.P., was held in Lisburn on Tuesday, to consider the letter which had been received from Sir Richard, offering a reduction of 10 to 15 per cent. on the past year's rent, in consequence of the losses they had sustained. Resolutions were passed stating that this abatement was not calculated to meet the great loss which the tenants had suffered, and expressing a hope that, on the forthcoming valuation, Sir Richard would only appoint practical valuators, as the tenants had no confidence in the so-called scientific valuators. The meeting hoped Sir Richard would take into consideration the cases of those tenants who were in arrears, and would make such arrangements as would enable them to pay off the debt, and so retain possession of their holdings. The tenantry suggested to Sir Richard that, in case a disagreement may arise on the declaration of the valuator's report, the judicial rent, when fixed, may date from IsTovember, 1882, so that thereby the tenants may suffer no loss by the consequent delay.—Michael Lee and Joseph O'Brien were on Tuesday before Lord Chief Justice Fitzgibbon, charged with having been members of a conspiracy to murder Michael O'Shaughnessy, in Limerick, on the 13th January last. O'Brien was caught in the act of presenting a revolver at O'Shaughnessy • but, the man being under police protection, the patrol, who were watching him, came to his rescue on 0' Shaughnessy and his wife, who was with him, eslbug for assistance. The wife in the interval had prevented O'Brien using the revolver, which the latter threw away when being pursued by the police. O'Brien was on Friday sentenced to six months' imprisonment on a minor charge, and is at present undergoing that sentence.—Counsel for the Crown said the charge against the accused was a most serious one, and could not be proceeded with at the present Assizes. Lee had been arrested only on Saturday night. He therefore asked to have tne case postponed to the next Assizes.—His lordship granted the application, refusing bail.—A few nights ago Mr. Taylor, of Hollywood Park, Pallaskenry, while proceeding through his demesne, was attacked by a number of men and badly beaten.  In the Chancery Division, on Monday, Mr. Justice Pry gave judgment in the suit of Bowell and others v. Coaks and others, which had occupied the court for several days, and involves a question of at least £BO,

SHOCKING DISCOVERY AT GLOUCESTER.  ALLEGED MURDER OF CHILDREN.  A horrible discovery was made at Gloucester on Sunday evening. Some residents in New Street, a street near the outskirts of the city, having complained et a dreadful stench coming from a garden, the police in estigated the matter, and on digging below the surface found the bodies of eight infants in a decomposed state. The garden belongs to a house occupied by a family named Rees, and the mother is a monthly nurse.—Rees and his wi e were brought 'before the GI incester magistrates on Monday. The police superintendent stated that he I had received private intormation that the female I prisoner i ad told a neighbour that the dead dody I of a child ot a woman she attended as nurse had been put away by the doctor's orders, and on applying to the doctor ho denied all knowledge of the matter. Search was made for Mrs. Rees on Friday, but she eluded the police until Sunday afternoon, and then attempted to escape, but was caught. Being charged with unlawfully disposing of the do d body ot a child, she took the police to her garden, and there, embedded in quicklime and char oal, the police found buried a newly-born m ile child, quite naked. The garden was then dug up, and the bodies of two other din hen recently born, ttad live other bodies much decomposed, were hound. The male prisoner said ho knew nothing of the affair, and his wife was aware he was innocent.—The female prisoner had nothing to say.—Both prisoners were remanded on the charge oi the wilful murder of one child.—On Monday night the city coroner opened an inquest on the body of one of the children found in a garden. A police-constable stated that on arresting Mrs. Rees she said, "Oh, dear! What shall Idol' What will be the end of it ? What will become of me ?"—Mrs. Holder, a neighbour, said on Monday, 'he 28th ult., she saw Mrs. Rees going in and out of the house of Mrs. Hancock. On Wednesday Mrs. Rees requested hernot to tell the police aboutthe affair, and also asked her if she thottult she had been killing the children, io which witness replied that things looked very black indeed. On Friday evening she gave information to the police.—Geo. Hancock, husband of the woman confined, said Mrs. Rees attended his wife as inida ife. and no doctor was engaged. Mrs. lit es told him the child was born prematurely, and was dead, and she promised to see it buried. He gave her a half-crown to pay for the burial.—Mr. Carter, surgeon, who made the post murk& examination, gave detailed evidence that the child was fully grown, and must have been born alive. All the appearances were utterly inconsistent with the s atetnent thatrit was a premature birth, and his opinion was that the child lived several minutes, and died from hemorrhage.—The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder atainst Mrs. Rees, and in the case of seven other bodies returned open verdicts.

UNSEASONABLE SHEEP SHEARING.  A deputation of the presidents, &c., of the Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, and Bradford Butchers' Associations waited on the Duke of Richmond and Gordon at his office in Downing Street, on Monday, to request him to promote legislation prohibiting the shearing of sheep during the winter months and in inclement we-ather, on the grounds of cruelty and daeriointion of the quality of meat. Mr. Chamberlain, M.l'., who introduced the deputation, said that the objeq of the deputation had in view was to obtain seine fresh legislation if necessary, or, as they would very much prefer, an order by the Privy Council, if that were possible, to limit the time during which sheep might legally be shorn. At the present time the exposing of sheep shorn in inclement weather brought the persons guilty of it under the ken of the law, and a great many prosecutions for cruelty had taken place. They also pointed out that the persons who were fined were not the shearers of the sheep, but the butchers who were obliged to buy them. The deputation suggested as the best remedy that the Government should forbid the shearing of sheep before the 25t11 of March. After Messrs. Medway (Birmingham), Walker (Leeds), and Price (Manchester) had spoken, the Duke of Richmond and Gonlon replied that the subject was of the highest importance, but he had no power of making an order, and anything of that kind would have to be done by legislation. He did not think he could apply to l'arliament, as at present advised, for power.  A destructive fire occurred on Sunday morning on the premises of the 13oulinikon Floor Cloth Manufacturing Company, \Voraley Street, Salford. Onisiderable progress has been made with the borings for the tunnel to be constructed by the Mersey Railway Company under the bed of the river.
