FORTUNES FOR THE MAIDS OF HONOUR.  Lord Sackville, the late owner of Kilole Park, has made a most singular will. He has (says the London correspondent of the Glavaw lb:raid) bequeathed everything over which he had testamentary power to the Queen's Maids of Honour The furniture. pictureswand bric-o-hree of Knole House which are not heirlooms are to be put up to auction for the benefit of the young ladies in question, and are expected to fetch £50,000 alone. Lord Saukville, as is well known, was engaged for many years in litigation with his elder brother, the Earl of De is Warr, the saleet in dispu:e being Enole House and the estates settled with it. These now WEI to Her Majesty's Minister at Washington, and the income is not less than SlO,OOO a year. But the ill-feelings engendered by the protracted litigation with the elder brother appear to have been extended by Lord Saukville to his family generally, hence the extraordinary good fortune of the Queen's Maids of Honour.  Mr Henry Buck, Farmer, of Willow Farm, Hcmpnall, Norfolk, writes to us saying : Beckham's Liver Pills and Tonic Compound duly received. I have much pleasure in testifying to their value.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN LONDON.  WIFE MURDER AND SUICIDE. A terrible murder, followed by the suicide of the murderer, was committed on Wedesday afternoon, at 147, Back Church-street, Whitechapel, a poor thoroughfare running out of Commercial-road, London, and inhabited mostly by a low type of foreigners and small shopkeepers. ' The house before mentioned had among its occupants a boot-finisher named Louis Cohen, and living with him as his wife was a young Russian Jewess, whose name, as far as can be ascertained, was Potstami. It is stated that the female came to England from Russia about five months IWO in company with her husband, who, it is alleged, had married her from a house of ill-fame. Two months since she left her husband and went to live with Cohen, and the husband, though much distressed, kept himself at a distance, not even disclosing his address. Yesterday morning, how, ever, a man calling in at Cohen's for two shillings that were owed him, remarked that he had seen the woman's husband in the street. No particular notice was taken of this, and at one o'clock the woman went out to buy some provisions. Soon afterwards Cohen heard the woman screaming, and on rushing down the stairs was just in time to see her lying in the middle of the road, with her throat cut from ear to ear. She was just able to point in the direction of Commercial-road. and then became unconscious. Meanwhile some neighbours saw the husband running away, and pursued him, hot in passing along Greenfield-street, after crossing Commercial-road, he noticed a constable coming towards him, and turning his back upon the policeman, he immediately cut his own throat with a shoemaker's knife. The constable at once procured a cab and I took the man to the London Hospital, but he expired on the way. Whilst this was taking place the woman had been removed to the same Hospital in a barrow, bet she also died before arrival at the Hospital gates. Although no one actually saw the murder committed, it is evident that the man attacked his wife and cut her throat at the foot of the stairs as she reentered the house, and that she ran out and fell down in the road, as the floor at the foot of the stairs had a quantity of blood upon it. and the provisions which the woman was carrying were strewn in all directions. The murderer was in the same trade as Cohen, and the knife with which he committed the deed is now in the possession of the police. It is an ordinary bootfinisher's knife, and was secured by the constable at the time the man committed suicide. The affair has naturally created great excitement in the neighbourhood, and Inspector Thresher, who hae the case in hand, is now collecting evidence, and endeavouring to ascertain where the murderer has been living recently.

The two others—Gaston and Hrneet—who wer, struggling in Paris, sought out their father a% Poitiers, bat he threateued to shoot them it they returned there again. The boys, therefore, went away in fear and trembling, but in a few months' time, poverty pinching them worse than ever, they resolved to try their luck at Poitiers once more. They bon& a revolver, and on their way to their father's bowie practised with it on some trees. On entering the paternal clutte,n, they were received by a houeekeeper, who gave them two glasses of wine; but when M.
