MURDER AND SUICIDE.—On Thursday morning Mr. Priest, who is a very hard-working respectable man, left his home, in the village of Worfield, at 6 o'clock in the morning, leaving his wife and one child (about 18 months old) in bed together, and two children iu bed in an adjoining room. He had not been gone long before the woman went into the next room to her other children with a gash in her throat and the blood rushing out. The children of course raised an alarm, and some neighbours went iu. They found the child (the one 18 months old) in bed with its throat cut, and quite dead, and the mother apparently dying. Dr. Thursfield, of Bridgnorth, was sent for, but when he got there the woman had ceased to exist. There is no reason to assign for this unnatural act on the mother's part. She had been cautioned by the doctors not to stickle her child so much.—Birmingham Poet.  A despatch, of which the following is a copy, has been received from Captain Bowden, of her Majesty's ship Wasp :  Sir,—ln compliance with article 31, page 5, of the Slave Trade Instructions, I have the honour to report that, on the night of the 12th May, an Arab dhow was captured by the pinnace and cutter of this ship, under the charge of Lieutenant Charles C. Rising, at a distance of from eight to ten miles from the port of Zanzibar, with 283 slaves on board.  She had a large crew of northern Arabs, who made a desperate resistance, but owing to the gallantry displayed by the officers, whose names aro in the margin,* and their boats' crews, the vessel was carried, the Arabs taking to the sea, and to a boat they cut from the stern, but leaving S dead and 13 prisoners.  I regret to say that John New (coxwain of pinnace), the first to board, was killed, and three officers and eight men wounded.  I cannot speak too highly of the judicious way in which the attack was conducted, and the gallantry displayed by Lieutenant Rising, who has received three very severe wounds.

NOVEMBER. Lincoln Autumn Liverpool Autumn Shrewsbury  Extensive Embezzlement.  PRESTON, Monday. The whole of North Lancashire has been startled to-day by the announcement of the suicide of Mr. William Whelon, a gentleman of high position, and carrying on business at Lancaster and Preston, through pecuniary difficulties and the fear of exposure. Mr. Whelon rose from a poor office-boy to be secretary of the Little North-Western Railway ; then he became a merchant and manufacturer ; afterwards he was made town councillor, mayor, and magistrate of Lancaster. While Mayor of Lancaster he was distinguished for his liberality and hospitality, and his wife, during his year of office, was presented with a silver cradle by the inhabitants. In addition to the above positions, he was chairman of the Lancaster Athenwum Club and the Morecambe Gas-works, vice-chairman and director of the New Waggon Company, a churchwarden, a leading Conservative, and generally a man of high influence and position. On Friday he was at Preston on business, and returned home in the evening. On Saturday it was rumoured that he had forged and embezzled sums to a very large amount, varying according to report from £6,000 to £20,000. On the evening of that day a warrant was issued for his apprehension on the charge of stealing scrip belonging to the Little North-Western Railway. The police went to his house, but he was absent. An officer was sent to Preston, where it was thought he might have gone, but he could not be found. Yesterday his dead body was found in the water at Fleetwood.  The inquest on the body was held to-day. The evidence given showed that he left home on Saturday evening in good health and spirits, that he walked along the coast towards Fleetwood, that at midnight he got a boat at Knott-end, opposite Fleetwood, and about 10 miles from Lancaster rowed out a short distance in it, took something to drink, and jumped off the boat into deep water ; that his body was seen floating about yesterday morning off Fleetwood by a seaman, and was afterwards picked up and taken to one of the hotels. The jury returned a verdict of "Found drowned." The deceased gentleman was about 43 years of age, and he has left a widow and seven children. It is said that his embarrassments had reference mainly to the Little North-Western Railway, of which he was the secretary.
