Hews. suddenly missed on the let of June, and though every effort was made to trace his whereabouts, no clue could be found to them. As escapes from the house are not unusual, it was conjectured that he bad got away from the place, and inquiries were made of his friends, but neither his wife nor any of them had seen or heard anything about him. On Satozday : evening the nurse at the male imbecile ward reported to Mr. George Milne, the governor of the workhouse, that the water had a horribly offensive stench, and that it was making both himeelf (the nurse) and several other inmates ill. Mr. Milne gave inetrn. alone that the water was to to ran off, the ball tap I which supplies the cistern tied up, and the cistern itself examined and cleaned. On Sunday morning a party was sent to examine the cistern, and the first eight that presented itself was the legs of • man stinking out of it. Assistance having been procured, the eo,pse was removed, and • sickening appearance it presented from advanced decompoeition. The body was identified as that of the missing painter, Richardson. There can be ne doubt that the man committed suicide, as he frequently stated as the drunken delirium began to wear off that he could not face his friends after the conduct he had been guilty of. The cistern was on the mine floor as the apartment in which he was kept.  SKALL•PIiS.

TRAGEDY AT ISLINGTO-V.  _ A shocking tragedy-was enacted on Tuesday morning at Islington. A man named William Young resided with his wife Sophia on the first floor of No. 24, John-street, Penton-street, Islington, and on Christmas night they retired to bed as usual. At about half-past nine o'clock the wife was awoke by her husband getting out of bed and striking her. violent blow on the head with a life-preserver, inflicting a large wound. She immediately got out of bed and struggled with him, and, after some difficnlty, succeeded in unlocking the door. Pier screams had attracted the attention of another lodger, named George Derail, who ultimately rescued her from the murderous violence of her husband, who returned to his room, and locked the door. Almost immedidiately afterwards a report of fire-arms was heard, and it was supposed he had committed suicide. i By this time the, attention of Chief-Inimeetor Odell, of the Y division, was drawn to the house, and he, in company with Henry Cannons, police constable 17(2 It, burst open the door and found that Young had really accomplished that which WI. surmised. When they entered they discovered the wretched man lying on the floor bleeding from a wound on the right side of his face. A pistol was found by his side. Dr. Miller, of Great Percy-street, King's-erom-road, surgeon to the G division, was called in and pronounced life to be quite extinct. He then directed his attention to Mm. Young, but in her ease the injuries inflicted are notlikely to prove fatal. As may be supposed, the sad occurrence caused a great deal of excitement in the neighbourhood, but although there are many rumours BR to the cause, nothing definite could be ascertained. Jeaslousy is supposed to have been at the bottom of this shocking affair.
