TRITRIIDAY.—A. most distressing case of murder and suicide by the murderess, took place on Tuesday, in the neighbourhood of Oldham Road, in this town. It appears that about half-past four o'clock on the afternoon, a neighbour called at the house of the deceased, whose husband is a respectable worklog man, named John Fairhurst, and finding the door locked, she peeped through the keyhole and saw Mrs. Fairhurst standing in the middle of the floor with the child in her arms, ands long piece of rope. She opened the door, and then threw the rope into the cupboard. After some con aaaaa don, the neighbour left her, and in about half an hour afterwards • person who bad omission to call at the house, opened the door and saw Mrs. Fairhurst hanging by • piece of rope attached to a nail which had been driven over the staircase. An alarm was Instantly made, she was cut down and carried up stairs, and upon the parties getting into the bed-room the infant daughter of the deceased was seen hanging from the tester rail of the bed. The infant was quite dead, although warm, No cause can be assigned for this shocking act, but it is thought t the circumstance of the husband having threatened to pot the I out to nurse had preyed upon the mind of the mother, who, appears, determined upon putting it to death and then terminatg her own existence. meweessibseise  Body Found.—On Monday morning, between seven and eight o'clock, the deepening machine at work in the harbour opposite Oswald Street, brought up the body of a man, which seemed to have been a considerable time in the water. It was conveyed to the receiving-house, and was afterwards identified to be that of an hostler, who resided in Clyde Street, named James Warden, and who had been missing since the 2d of January last. - -  were the Dames  latter was i'e her  Edinburgh and Northern Railway—This railway company, we understand, have purchased from the magistrates of Kinghorn their rights to the harbour of the burgh and the pier at Pettycur, with the view of providingagamst unreasonable dealing at Burntisland. The sum to be paid Is £4OOO, which includes the price of a considerable quantity of land required for the line. The arrangement is said to be very favourable for the company.

Curd & Co., of this town. She is named the Sea Nympth, and is intended for the Londonderry and Liverpool station. This vessel is built of iron, is of great strength, and her model is exquisite. Her engines, which are the workmanship of her celebrated builders, will be fitted up without delay, and when ready for starting, the Sea Nymph and the Faugh-o-Ballagh—the other new one built by Messrs. Caird & Co., for the Drogheda and Liverpool station—will add to the fame of our builders and engineers, whose names are universally associated with the first claw of marine architecture of every description. The Faugb-o-Ballagh made a trip recently down the river, and the result of the experiment as to her sailing powers has been in the highest degree satisfactory.—Greenock Advertiser. It will be interesting to the antiquary and the lover of art to know that the exertions of Mr. Doubleday, in the restoration of the Portland vase, have been so successful, that it will in the course of a short time again be submitted to public inspection very little blemished by the effects of an injury which at first seemed to be irreparable. Sir Henry Ellis and other antiquarians have expressed their approbation of the neatness with which the work has been completed, and of the ingenuity of the artists employed. -Edward Lloyd, the author of the mischief, left London immediately on his discharge, and returned to Dublin, and it is understood to be the intention of the Duke of Portland to institute proceedings against him for the damage done to his property—London Paper.
