SHOCKING TRAGEDY AT KINGSTHORPE.—A shocking tragedy took place at Kiegethorpe. A labourer, named John Gooch, quarrelled with his wife, and turned her out. His son, William, a soldier in the 48th Regiment, remonstrated with his father, , when the latter drew a knife, and stabbed his don in the left arm, severing the brachial artery and ponetrat ng the breast just above the heart. Police-sergeant Delworth and Police-constable Denco were attracted to the house by the cries of "Murder." On entering the bedroom Gooch again attacked his son, but the officers pushed him aside, and Delworth narrowly escaped:wing stabbed. He seized the elder Gooch by , the throat, flung him down, and held him till the 'other officer wrenched the knife from him. Thej handcuffed him, and took him to the police-office. The prisoner said, "I have done it, and am satisfied." Three medical gentlemen were speedily in attendance on the injured man, who was exhausted from loss cd blood. No hopes were entertained of his recovery, and his depositions have been taken. He said he had hafi no quarrel with his father.  THE MUTINY AT THE CU attA,;ll CAMP, The following additional particulars of the routine at the Curragh Camp are given in the Freeman', Journal: On Saturday evening, at three pin, little excitement prevailed in camp, when provosts, and constabulary were seen hurrying eieist, and it became known ih-et upweerds of a huadroy troopers of the 19th Hussars had broken out of barracks, and were seen moving in a body towards Suncroft. The fugitives crossed Colonel Bernar:i farm, and then proceeded v,st Brownstown to. field convenient to the road leading to the vill;.eee in question, and here, it is said, held acoisnelo, w,,r and had a little drink, which very prob,l, had been obtained previously en route. Outposts wens thsa stationed around the main bedy to prevent the f•etive scene being disturbed by a surprise party, and scarcely had these precautions been taken than some our 11101 of the garrison mounted police, with Sergeant Brock at their head, put in an appearance. Upon seeing the i horsemen the solders immediately secured states I from the hedges, and loudly declared they would not be taken prisoners, when Sergeant Braas at ones wheeled his own men out of eight and hurried on the picket from the camp. Meanwhile the scene went on, and the latter officer, having by a circuitous path returned, dismounted, and, leaving his horse three or four fields away, approached the wanderers on foot. The men, however, would not permit him todosountil they had held another parley amongst themselves, and after a few moments' consultation white handkerchiefs were waved in the air as a signal that he might come amongst diem. This he accordingly did, and by dint of sheer good fellowship and his persuasive powers succeeded in entree log promisee from them that they would return. Sergeant Broths then directed his steps towards home in order to prevent the pickets from coining in sight of the trooper!, and whilst on the way wet a captain and a lieutenant of the regiment. These two gentlemen immediately, and without the slightest hesitation, entreat cooversation with the discontented, and the upshot of the whole affair was the men marched back to barracks as quietly as from an ordinary review, It scams the men imagined they had some grievances relative to drill, &c, which need redressing, and that morning when at stables they were ordered to parade at 2.39 p.m. This they thought both absurd ani ridiculous, no in most cavalry corps on Saturday a half-day of leisure is granted. A gemral court. martial will be formed in a day or two. Upwards of seventy-five men have been placed under arrest at large; and it certainly seems a pity that such a cruel : corps, and one which has distinguished itself so much during the recent manoeuvres here, should now owls ' under the lash for insubordination. At all events, there is no one but will condemn the line of action the men have taken.
