ATTACK ON • CHILD BY HIM INSANE GRAND.—A fine interesting girl aged sena years, the sliest daughter of Mr. J. Lockwood, having been left alone in the house with Mr. John Wortley, bur-keeper, her grandfather, at Etnittle-Oats, near HolmArth, on Tuesday week, remind such injuries at his hands as to lean no probable hope of her recovery. It appease that Wortley AM for some time put exhibited symptoms of derangement of mind and bad more than once attempted suicide. On the day above motioned, his wife, having occasion to be absent from home for a abort time left Wortley and the grandchild in the house together. The presumption is, from all that can be assertained relative to the tragedy, that shortly after his wife's ;departure, the poor desponding wretch again essayed self-destruction, and that being checked by the little girl, as on a former occasion, he determined at cues to silence her. For this purpose (hanag first locked the door) he armed himself with the are poker, and with this weapon he struck the poor anoffending girl repeated and savage strokes over the head. This continued until a cart driver, passing by, heard screams, and the sound of heavy blows, which induced him to panes and lutes at the bar house door. Being coavinced that foal work was being enacted he at ono hurried to an adjoining house (the Junction lan), and assistance having been here procured, the doors were promptly burst open. A shocking spectacle presented itself. The old wan, with an Inoue glare, stood brandishing the bloody weapon of his enmity over the now almost lifeless body of his victim. !ladled maistasee, however, was immediately sought and procured ; and up to Friday morning, the poor little mat still lived. Of her ultimata recovery, how. ver. no reasonable hope can be entertained. Wortley underwent an examination before the magistrates on Wednesday, and emoted to be decidedly inane.—fialifax Guardian.

THE  MANUFACTURING DISTRICTS. SUPPOSED MURDER AND SUICIDE BY A  MFACELLNT.  MAPICHESTER, JAN. 21. A painful sensation we. created here this morning by a rumour that Mr. Alexander Novelli, merchant, and his late brother's widow, both residing at Lower Broughton, had been found dead a: their own house, under very mysterious circumstances. Mrs. Novelli was the widow of Mr. Louis Nowell, of Prestwich, near Manchester, and the daughter of Mr. Hall, bleacher, of Prestwich. Mr. Louis Novell died soon alter returning from Doncaster races about sixteen months ago, and left his widow and two young children very handsomely provided for. His father, Judi ed, who is sell living in the neighbourhood of London, retired from business in Manchester not many years ago in very effluent circumstances. Mr. Alex. Novell, upon his brother's death, was appointed one of the executors to his estate, and from that time hes lived with his brother's widow and the two children. A few weeks back they took up their abode at Clid Mound, a genteel residence purchased in the name of the children, at Lower Broughton. They appeared to live together on good terms, employing a man servant and two maid servants in the house. If day (Sunday) they appeared to be in the enjoyment of their ordinary health, and attended divine service at St. Clement's Church, Broughton. The fervent' retired to bed at the usual hour, leaving Mr. Alex. Novelli and Mn. Novelli in the sitting room, and had ao reason to suspect that anything unusual was kbout to take place. The man-servant was horror-stricken to find, however, on descending to the sitting room this morning at 8 o'clock, that Mrs. Novelli was dead. Site was found reclining on a sofa partially undressed. Her body was quits cold, and it is supposed she had been dead many hours. Mr. Alexander Noveili was then sought, that tidings of the death of his sister-in-law might be taken to him, but oa entering his room his dead body was found hanging from the ceiling. Then was warmth about the region of the heart, and it was supposed that he had not been dead more than a couple of hours, The exact circumstances of the death of Mrs. Novell and her brother-in-law will probably for ever remain a secret. At the moment I am writing these particular', an inquest is about to be held before William Smalley Rutter, Esq., the county coroner; but so far as I can learn there is very little evidence to lay before the jury. Mr. d. Bower Harrison, surgeon, with two ether professional men, are making a post mortem examination of the bouies with a view to ascertaining the cause of death, though there is not much room to doubt that Mrs. Novell ht' died nom poison. Mr. Novell's d,ath may probably be attributed to suicide. It is hardly to be supposed, however, that Mrs. Nose% would be likely to commit selfdestruction. She always displayed great affection for her two children, who are both at home. There is too much reason to fear that she has fallen by the hand of her brother-in law, through the instrumentality of some quick and deadly poison, administered at supper or after the. Santa had retired to rest
