JOHN BRIGHT. _ Mr. F. Price, district coroner, held an inquest in Salford on Monday touching the death of Anne M'Glockling, 12 years of age, lately living at 12, Harold-street, Salford. It was stated that the deceased had been reading in the newspapers about the Pendleton murder case, and on Friday morning she asked her father something about Mrs. Sweeney, who was a witness in the police court proceedings. On the same day she asked her mother how Leatherbarrow (the murderer) would be hanged, but received an evasive answer. Shortly after two o'clock in the afternoon she went to the house of an aunt, named Theresa Ogden, at 10, Cottrill-street, Salford. She was then in excellent spirits, and laughed and played with Mrs. Ogden'a little boy. Mrs. Ogden went of the house for a short time, and when she returned she found the front door fast. She opened it with a key which she had in her pocket, but had some difficulty in pushing it back. She found that there was a chair behind it, and then saw the deceased hanging to a coat and shawl hook which was fastened to the door. She screamed and ran out, and a man named Pawson went in and took deceased down. She was warm but quite dead. She was hanging by tiiiins a a piece Of fustian cord tied round her neck and then thrown over the coat hook.—The jury returned a verdict of " Death through misadventure, being of opinion that she did not intend to commit suicide, but was carrying out a childish freak whoosh. met with her death.  The Cleveland (Ohio) newspapers of January 20th, just to hand, state :—" The most appalling crime known in the history of this city was committed at an early hour this morning in Independence-street, near Beryll Park. The murderer is Lonia Cabalek, wife of Velar Cabalek, a carpenter, and the victims are their five younger children. At seven o'clock this morning Cabslek started for work, accompanied by his eldest son, and soon after their departure, Mrs. Cabalek sent two sons, aged 15 and 12, to a grocery store half a mile distant. There were five other children, all younger. As soon as the elder boys were out of the house Mrs. Cabalek fastened the doors, and taking a pair of sharp bladed shears' nine inches long, commenced the terrible slaughter of her innocent children. Her aim seemed to be, from the location of the wounds, to pierce their hearts and then disembowel them in every case. Having completed her dreadful work the maddened woman looked about for means of self-destruction. With the bloody shears she cut down a clothes line ire an upper chamber, carried it to the basement, and fastened one end to the ceiling; then she rolled in a water barrel, climbed upon it, fastened the rope securely about her neck, and kicked the barrel from under her feet. The drop and the smallness of the rope cut her throat from ear to ear. The blood ran in torrents down her garments on to the floor. Mr. George Kynock, M.P., the well-known ammunition manufacturer of Witten, Birmingham, addressing his workpeople on Friday night, said there could be no doubt that it was the defective cartridges in the Soudan that caused Colonel Burnaby's death, and Mr. De Lisle, M.P. had told him (Mr. Kynoch) that it was also the cause of the death of his brother. The War Office were still making the same old style of cartridge, notwithstanding the announcement in the House of Commons that they would be made better in future. A day . or two ago he sent in a tender for 500,000 cartridges for Queensland to the War Office. He hesitated a long while before he did so, because he had been pinched by the nose by the War Office before, and they did pinch when once they got hold of any one's nose. Bat he sent in; and because the tender, which was due se twelve o'clock on Tuesday, reached the office on Wednesday morning, he received a letter saying he was too late. Consequently the order was given to a German, who actually had not a manufactory, and would have to set one up before he could make the cartridges. Was this fair? As to the War Office, Mr. Rynoch said it was an utterly bad principle to have Government establishments. These establishments were set up, so he constantly heard in Parliament, because the guns from Birmingham were so bad. Seeing, however, that each gun had to pass the eye of the Government in. Spector, this could not be so. At about eleven o'clock on Saturday night a mart named John Brady, a dyer. about 18 years of age, who lived in Back Boslam-street, Ancoats, Manchester, was attacked and stabbed to death by a gang of roughs. Brady had been spending the evening in the company of two young women, who live at 25, Back Holgatestreet, off Rochdale-road, and shortly before eleven o'clock he was walking along Back Holgate-street in the direction of their home when he was struck in the face by Charles Burns, a militiaman, who was standing at the door of 5, Back Holgate-stredt. Brady returned the blow, and at the solicitation of the young women he then went on to their house and fastened the door. Burns seems to have at once gathered together his friends, for in a few minutes he and a number of youths were hammering at the door of the house in which Brady had sought refuse, and were loudly challenging Brady to come out and fight. Obedient to the wishes of his companions, Brady paid no heed to the challenge, and then Burns and his friends—six or seven in number—burst open the door, and rushing forward, with open knives in their bands, inflicted six or seven severe wounds in Brady's body. Brady fell, shouting " Murder," and his assailants made off, one of them leaving behind him a blood-stained knife, which one of the women, Mary Jane Judge, picked tin, and subsequently banded to the police. Brady fell just in the doorway, with his feet hanging down the steps leading up to the house, and his head and body resting on the floor of the room. He was removed to a couch, aud died immediately. His body was afterwards taken to the Manchester Royal Infirmary. The assault was witnessed by two young women, who recognised several of the men engaged in it. The police about an hour afterwards arrested Burns, and charged him with the wilful murder of Brady. Burns, who is about!? years of age, was in uniform at the time, and held a twist of furlough. His regiment is at present stationed at Ashton.  Lessons in Scientific Dress Cutting, daily and nightly, at the PATTERN DEPOT, 2, Mumps, Oldham.
