THE LAW BILLS.—The new Lord Chancellor has lost no time in intimating that it is his intention to support the recommendation of the Commissioners for the Reform of the Court of Chancery. The Common Law pro. cedure Bill will also be adopted by the Government. It may be assumed, from the recent pamphlet of Sir E. Sugden, thatmno, no further progress will a be made with the registration scheme, It is, however, scarcely probable that any of these measures will become law this year.--Law Times.  stithweriPilea thehEt. treenr : r_ts.o from borough. coalpit be!ghly re Mlil'ltCbg:es:rult.ely clasping hisCi negU ra Rs last NC Mr.E SpencerNE it NEAR I th e.hs. minensn spectable cotton-spinner and manufacturer, residing SatAurwdaFytriamor°ll Oldham, committed suicide by leaping down a at momentg longing tuba ,tr hkaeenr Ind, and, aoncrde, in tb.. inMantiSsnUit.hpe.nrSd is is Stlsuidpptoosehdavteo beenhav ea geroematmitted 1. rhlreuunder the influence of that suffering.

MURDER, AND ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—WEDNESBURY, SATURDAY.—A shocking tragedy has just been perpetrated here, a married woman having drowned her child, aged 15 months, in a tub, and afterwards made an attempt on her own life by hanging herself. The circumstances were investigated last evening, by Mr. Hinchliffe, the district coroner. A number of witnesses were examined, and the following is the gist of their testimony : The alleged murderess, Sarah Smith, is the wife of a moulder, employed at the ironworks of Mr. George Adams, of this town. On Saturday evening last, about five o'clock, Smith, the husband, came, home from his work, but could not find his wife. After looking about the house, he discovered her hanging from a hook in the pantry by a handkerchief, which she had tied round her neck. He cut her down, and found her insensible, but by prompt surgical assistance she was restored. Almost immediately afterwards the deed body inchesael beanall i placed. about beoi ug tThe tub was a left the childh and 1 foot 2 inch') in diameter. After the mother had been taken into custody,of Smith's little child was found in a tub of water, over rswemhpailcil elhdo, na l i te tf:olaoytt eBl youw Mrs. Chowle, a neighbour, asked her how she could do such a thing as kill .her child ; to which she in the brewhouse, playing with its chair, while I went to the cistern for water. When I returned, I found it in the tub, with its bead downwards. I pulled him out, but ho was nearly gone. I felt afraid, and I put him in again, and went and hanged myself." She afterwards repeated this statement, and denied that she had killed the child. Mr. Bailey, a surgeon, of examined Weduesbury, having• the prisoner on the ei ening of the alleged murder, gave his opinion that she wee labouring under temporary insanity. The jury, after a charge from the coroner, returned a verdict of murder" against Sarah Smitb.  :,,..

SUICIDE BY A GENTLEMAN.  On Tuesday evening an inquest was held at Bath, before Mr. English, coroner for that city, to inquire into the death of a gentleman who had committed suicide at one of the first hotels in that city on the previous evening. It appeared that the deceased went to Bath by the down mail train on Monday afternoon, and proceeded to thi hotel, where ho took dinner, and a pint of bitter ale. About four o'clock in the afternoon, at his own request, he was shown to his bedroom by one of the chambermaids, to whom ho remarked, " What a confuBien the town seems in to-day." She said, " Does it, Sir; I have not been out to-day." He replied, " Yes, it it is all through this bothering election; it is a rack of nonsense." The chambermaid, about eight o'clock the same evening, tried the door, but found it locked. She took no notice of the circumstance, tuaposing the gentleman had gone out and taken the key with him. Next morning, however, as the gentleman did not make his appearauno, his door was tried and found locked, and, as no reply could be obtained from within, a police,constable was sent for and the door forced open. The unfortunate deceased was then dizcovered lying on the goor in a large pool of blood, with his throat frightfully cut, and quite dead. Upon the dressing-table was found a razor covered with blood, with which the melancholy act had neon committed. The deceased's gold watch was also found upon the dressing-table, and 11. Os. lid. in silver and copper coin upon the mantel-shelf. His coat and waistcoat were off, and in the pocket were found prescriptions, signed by Sir James Clark, so late as Saturday last, showing the deceased to have been under medical treatment. A letter, directed to " Mr. Underwood, architect, Oxford," was also found upon the unfortunate man, which is the only means by which his identification can be traced, as he was a perfect stranger to the hotel. A messenger was dispatched to Oxford as soon as the melancholy discovery was made, but as he had not returned at ten o'clock on Tuesday evening the inquest was adjourned. On Wednesday evening the inquest was resumed upon the unfortunate gentleman, when it appeared that the deceased was Mr. Itu entvY Jones Underwood, architect, of St. John's-street, in,Z.d• ," The jury returned a verdict of " Temporary laity  pr ern%" tt le
