THE (1():\1[1:-.•A.1, 7rlL-t1;1,.1)Y.  - On Saturday eve,i Mr. ?Thomas Taylor, coroner, held an inquest at O ta..-,s.d, near Dewsbury, touchintt Cm deaths of lianitab (s2S years), Ilminah Mary t three ytars), mid -.Harry (live wetslts), who were found dtat wee!, in a mill dam at Crp, Spelt. From the elide:me it appeared that ,•- ,lte was last Seoll use by her husband it, , tine, at tell o'clock, wiled she ; and the children were preparing to go for a \Valk. On Mr Waddle goittu:t to his dinner tit halfliast twche he. found the lemse empty, :ma no preparation made for the dinner. Ile did not pan much attention to this until a young W0111:1n, named Mary Mortimer,camewith two slutwls and a child's hid, the property of his wife. Mortimer as she was coming past the mill dant, imtieed it ale articles tie) round a steam pipe, and reeognising them :is belongiiaz. to 'Mrs. Waddle, sin took them to her residence. Mr. 'Waddle was now greatly alarmed, and he caused a search to be ninde, which resulted in the bodies being found in the mill dam bebmging to Messrs. Mortimer Brothers. It was stated that Mrs. Waddle had been in a desponding state of mind since her confinement, which took pl., the weeks ago, and that she had Diluent-1y said she wmild do away with hersell.--The ;jury returned a Nettitict to the effect that " llannah Mary and Harry it laid been murdered by their mother, and that she afterwards committed suicide whilst in an unsound state of mind."  Pnooost;,:n tirnmvisiox iF Liciam.to I)toet ii: This subject urgently denim:,s the careful attention tt all Churchmen of this diocese at the present time. The Principle is at last fully recognised (as we gather from the introduction of the Bill for the increase it the Thane Epise,tpate in the Blouse of Commons, by Mr. B.tresferd Ihtpe, on Bay 28, told frost the late interview of the deputation on the part of the (iioces, of Exeti r, with the Premier) that every plan for the subdivision of it diocese, must emanate from tits dioc:tsc i:self, and await the sanction of the Legislature. We hate, then, ourselves to tittie up our tennis as to What we want for the working out this maim:tons question, the subdivision of the .great diocese of Lichfield (and subdivision does nit, secossarily imply dismemberment), with the view of submitting our ease, if pinto the pr, net Parliament. Looking to the two large midland cuunties of Stafford and Derby, and of Sttlop (in the Diocese of Lieldield); to the e,lent, wealth, and stirring character of their population in all ranks of society, and remembering how powerfully those tire reprt settled in both Rouses of Parliament, we may venture to say that no diocese is likely to command greater attention in either House than the diocese of Lichfield. Out of dirt y-line replies to Lord Lyttolton's circular from the rural deaneries ot this diocese, thirty-four affirmed the necessity for the increase of the Home Episcopate, and one thought it unnecessary. Derby'shire wilt be allowed by :ill to have the first Maim to be Imaned into anew Diocese within its own jurisdiction; and the Bishop lots dis: tinetly atomunced his tipproval of such a utensure. and his readiness to do hi:, part in carrying it into effect. We would, t heti, most resp.att fay, urge upon all concerned, and what Churchman tueongst ito is not concerned?) that ii, it a day should he lost at this stage of the subject, in obtaining from the Rural Deaneries of Derbyshire, as represented both by their alerted and lay members, an outline of the course they would recommend for the erect ji,i, it• Derbyshire into a DOW see. 011: Niet.
