MURDER AND SUICIDE.  On Friday morning Mr. Richards held an inquest at the Earl Amherst, Amherst-road, concerning the deaths of Eliza Jane Cook, aged 23, and Richard Frederick Cook, aged seven months. Emma Ridley 1, Caroline-street, Upper Clapton, said deceased was her daughter, and had resided with her two children at the house of her father for the last 8 months, in consequence of her husband finding it requisite to emigrate to Canada, not being able to find employment in this country as a brickmaker. Since his arrival in America he had constantly been sending desponding letters, and on Wednesday week deceased secelved a letter intimating to her that he could not now say when he would be able to send her money to take out herself and the children. He had sent her during the seven months £7, and she had endeavoured to maintain herself and children by needlework. On receipt of the letter she threatened to destroy herself. On Tuesday afternoon, after the return of the children from school, she took them out for a walk, and the family dreading what she might do, a younger sister was sent after her.— Martha Ridley, Caroline-street, Upper Clapton, said on her returning home on Sunday afternoon, shortly after five o'clock, he was told that deceased had gone out with the children, and was seen to go in the direction of Lea River. Being aware that her sister had threatened to destroy herself, she mu oir In pursuit, and was about 300 yards from deceased when she seized the little girl and threw her into the water. Then, lifting the boy, she jumped in with him in her arms. When witness got up to the place deceased said to her, "Go away and pray for me." Joseph Gilbert, 277 N, said he saw deceased jump into the 14ea, and ran for the drags and buoy. When he reached the cottage where they usually were kept he was told they had no such thing there. He believed that the Royal Humane Society paid a certain sum annually to the °cottager that he might keep the drags in readiness. Three boys who were fishing near the spot succeeded in pulling the girl out, and he jumped in and brought the boy aah9re. The boy gasped once or twice. He ran with him to the cottage, but the woman there distinctly refused to admit the boy, or render any assistance to save his life. It was some time before the body of the woman was recovered. Thomas Hendon, Spring-hill stated that the same woman had frequently refused to render any assistance in cases of drowning. The jury returned a verdict finding that the deceased woman murdered her child and committed suicide while in an unsound state of mind. They at the same time censured Mrs. Cransfield, who occupies Cromtou.e.ottage, for her inhuman conduct.  HEAVY PENALTY FOR ILLEGALLY TA h

THE BOLTON TRAGEDY.  The inquest upon the bodies of Thomas and Jane Davis aged respectively 52 and 51 years, who were found dead, the former with his throat cut, and the ter strangled with a portion of a quilt, in their Lome in Red Lane, Breightmet, near Bolton, on Thursday was held at Tong Moor on Saturday afternoon, before J. B. Edge, coroner.—Samuel Davis, on of the deceased, said his faher was a handloom weaver. Witness gave evidence as to his finding the bodies of his father and mother. Witness assisted in laying his father out, and saw his elder brother, J, hn, take three bullets and a small quantity of lowder out of his father's trousers' pockets. A eighbour, named Little, also found a capped and loaded pistol underneath the blanket in the deceased's bed. Witness never knew that his father had a pistol or powder in his possession. The deceased appeared to be on friendly terms on Wednesday night. Thomas Davis was a steady man, but he had been ill for some time He wa- able, however, to work.—Mr. B. Cawthorn°, surgeon, said the death of the woman had undoubtedly been caused by strangulation, and the deceased could not possibly have strangled herself in the way it was done. The only other mark upon the body was a bruise over the left eyebrow, which might either have resulted from a blow, or being caused in the struggle. The bed-clothing appeared to have bin straightened. The body of the man was so Et if that two men and himself had some difficulty in reraightening it. There was a wound in the throat extending almost from ear to ear.—Ann liaslam, sister to the deceased Jane Davis, said her brother-in-law had been jealous of his wife for many years. He was afraid of his wife outliving him, and having another husband. The deceased had been married thirty years. The Coroner having summed up. the Jury returned a verdiet that Jane Davis Wag wilfully murdered by her husband. Thomas Davis, and that he afterward" committed suicide, nli le of iinsound mind.  At a meeting of the Warrington Dispensary on Fri Tay, Mr. Beaumont announced that Mr. Hatton, of Hatton, near Warrington, had subscribed £5,000 to the funds of the inetution.  The Times' Dublin correspondent says a few acts or Royal favour have been regarded with such gmeral satisfaction as the honour conferred upon Lord Dufferin in creating him an Earl.  On Saturday Mr. Robert Applegarth, late secretary of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners, was entertained at dinner by the leading members of the society, and a valuable gold watch was presented to him. The evidence addnoed on Saturday before the Friendly Societies Commissioner, at Liverpool, was in favour of a reorganisation of the societies under the Joint Stock Act, or under some direct g, vernment control and supervision. The Totnes Board of Guardians, on Saturday, resolved to proeecute a lady who caused her servant, who was suffering from email-pox, to be driven to the Workhouse porch and there left. The girl had caught the disease from her mistress's son.
