ARS— . I At a farmhouse near Purton, a village tuate Lord Shaftesbury, under date Homburg, August 2, si writes as follows on the above subject to a contempowithin a short distance of Swindon, a widow, aged : Absence from England in search of health has about 60 years, occupying a small rasp dairy farm, prevented my saying in the House of Lords what I lived with an unmarried daughter, aged 10 years, who venture now to commit to paper. Much as I rejoice had a child 2 years old. In the eame house resided a young man employed on the farm, and, until the day in the recent diminution and the approaching downbefore this aair occurred a maid servant The fall of the Turkish Empire, I view with horror the ff, . inhuman conduct of those who are the conquerors, mother and daughter retired to bed ; and, early on and of those who are entering into the full the following morning the man eervant, benefit of the conquest e, It almost lead* turning from milking,, and, find ing that the inmates were not yet astir went to the one to believe that the whole thing hae , door of the bedroom they occu ied and been conceived and executed in sheer hypop knocked. Receiving no answer he entered and found crisy. The Bulgarians having prated of civil and relithe daughter lying on her stomach on the, floor and re l gious liberty, are become the fierceet oppressors, not her mother in bed, apparently aslee with the ,ittle only of the Muesulman, but of every large section of the p, child by her side. All were dead. The were had Christian populations. They seem bent on a competiy dressed, but it did not appear that the daughte un tion with the Bashi.Basooks, who so frequently and no r effectually ravaged their country. The Russians apoccupied the bed. Around her neck a stocking was tightly tied, around the neck of the child was another pealed to the sympathies of Europe as undertaking, eingle-handed, a war for no other purpose than to put stockimr, and beneath a piece of stout at was fastened, while a third stocking encircled the n ring eck of down bloodshed and plunder, and secure to all the inMrs. Seymour—the name of the unfortunate WOlllllll habitants of the invaded provinces, and specially the -with a piece of strong window cord underneath.

I find it difficult betrayed signs of despondency and low spirits. The i to repress what I feel on the matter. his an appeal fact of insanity being a family affliction—her mother to public opinion, which in these days, thank God, in having hung herself and a brother shot himself, while oftentimes effective. a sister at present living is suffering from mental derangement—gives strength to the supposition that she gest murdered her daughter and child and then committed suicide.  dt the coroner's inqiint the jury returned a verdict of" Murder while in a stste of temporary insanity" against Jane Seymour, and thet she committed suicide while he the ssnie etste._  A boilermaker at Hartlepool, named William Simpson, has been living for several years past with a widow named Jane Turner, who has two children, the eldest about 16 years of age, by her deceased husband, and a young family of four by Simpson. They occupied a house in Thorne-street, Hartlepool, and f oralorm Sims poet had lived unhappily together. Simpson entered the house in a passionate mood, and whilst the deceased woman was sitting in a chair, he deliberately struck her. She returned the blow, and they ultimately threw things at each other. To etape his violence she roe out of the house, followed by Simpson, who took up a small wooden kit, with which he dealt her three or four blows on the head, inflicting cuts and bruises. He then seised her, and with a stone about the sine of his fist dealt her a blow on the skull, behind the ear, felling her to the ground. She was carried indoors by some neighbours. The murderer then ran off, but was pointed out by a neighbour to Sergeant Bowman, by whom he was apprehended. Mr. Aimley, surgeon, on visiting the house, found the woman quite dead. The prisoner appears perfectly indifferent. During a quarrel at Leeds a man named John Barker, a labourer, so illused his wife that she died shortly after the occurrence. The man abeconded at the time, but af'er gave himself up to the police.
