SUICIDE OF A LEICESTERSHIRE  FARMER.  Mr. G. F. Harrison, Coroner for Leicestershire, held an inquest at Ormsby, near Leicester, on Wednesday afternoon, on the body of Mr. Samuel Horton, a well-known farmer and grazier. The evidence showed that the deceased was 49 years of age, and had for many years carried on business as a farmer and grazier in that neighbourhood. The succession of bad seasons and other misfortunes had, however, lately told upon his prospects, and he had recently been observed to be in a very despon dent state of mind. Early on Tuesday morning his uncle, Mr. W. Horton, on entering the granary on the farm, was terrified to find the deceased lying on the floor with his throat frightfully cut. Mr. Horton and the Rev. W. Fish at once sent for medical assistance, but before Mr. Waterhouse, of Great Teatling, surgeon, could arrive life was quite extinct. Indeed, so terrible was the character of the wound inflicted that death must have been almost instantaneous. A butcher's knife, with which the wound was evidently inflicted, was picked up near the body. The jury expressed their sympathy with the bereaved family, and returned a verdict of " Suicide while in a state of unsound mind."—An inquest was held about the same time on the body of Maria, the wife of Mr. Charles Wright, farmer, of Melton Spinney Lodge, who bad committed suicide by poisoning herself with salts of lemon. Ihe jury returned a verdict of .‘ Temporary insanity." ..  COVENTRY MAILER; FRIDAY, May 7. Wheat white, old, 19s. Od. to 20s. 6d. per 18 stones ;:red, old, 16s. to 19s. ; barley, malting, 348.

ASSASSINATION OF CAREY THE INFORMER.  The Press Association is informed that James Carey has been shot dead on board the Cape steamer Melrose Castle, by a man named O'Donnell. They have reoeived the following telegram from their agents at Port Elizabeth, South Africa :—" James Carey, Irish informer, shot dead on board Melrose, 29th July, by a passenger named O'Donnell." It has been ascertained that • passenger named O'Donnell booked from London to Cape Town by the Royal mail steamer Einfauns Castle, which arrived at Cape Town from England via Madeira i with mails and passengers, on Friday last at 4 a.m. At Caps Town the passengers for Port Elizabeth, East London, and Natal ports would have to be transferred from the Kinfanns Castle to the Melrose, which would convey them thence to Natal; and the Melrose had proceeded as far as Port Elizabeth when the tragedy occurred. At the hour of telegraphing no details of the occurrence had been received, but are expected. Nothing is therefore known as to the fate of the murderer, but it is conjectured, from the fact that no specific mention is made of him in the first brief telegram, that be is 'wifely in custody, as if he had escaped, or had attempted to commit suicide, something would almost certainly have been said of it in the original message.

LOVE TRAGEDY IN LONDON.  A painful tragedy, which is the culmination of a very romantic love affair, took place yesterday at 10, Denmark Street, Soho, London. A medical student named Cyril Hewlett Dutta, aged 19, and a girl named Rose English, aged 21, who had been living at the above address for the past fortnight as man and wife, were found shortly after mid-day lying upon the bed in a half-naked state, the woman being (lead and Dutta unconscious. The woman had bullet wounds in the left breast and left side, and her companion had two shot wounds in the chest. Blood, which had poured from their bodies, saturated the mattress, and was lying in pools upon the floor, and a box of cartridges and a miniature revolver were found upon the bed. It was at first supposed that Dutta had murdered the girl and then attempted to commit suicide, but there is reason to believe that this assumption is erroneous, and it is asserted that Dutta, who regained consciousness after the arrival of the doctor and the police, made a statement to the effect that English cosnmitted suicide and that he then shot himself also. The deceased, who has lived at Denmark Street for about 14 months, was, it is said, supported by a rich grandmother, who sent her £lO weekly ; while Datta was the son of a wealthy West Indian merchant. who had disowned him in consequence of his connection with the girl. According to another report Dutta states that English, who had been under medical treatment for neuralgia, awoke yesterday morning at 11. After talking awhile she got up, and taking a revolver from the dressing-table shot herself in the left breast and neck. Finding she was dead he did not wish to live, and shot himself twice in the breaat.

THAMES.  LOVERS' QUARRELS. ATTEMPTED SIIICIDE.—MatiIda Naylor, a very pretty fair-haired girl, with great simplicity of manners, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with attempting to commit suicide in the water of the Regent's Canal, at Limehouse. A police-constable of the K division statedthathe was on duty at the top of Salmon's-lane last night, and hoard that a female had plunged into the canal from the bridge. He found the prisoner on the bank. She had just beau taken out of the water, and was nearly insensible. She said she had been quarrelling with her you ng man, and that he caused her to make the rash attempt on her life. Mr. Paget asked the prisoner if she had anything to say, and she replied in a simple and artless manner, "I quarrelled with the young man I have been keeping company with." Mr. Paget —And that caused you to commit this wicked act,  The prisoner—Yes, sir. John Wallace, a youth, said ho had been keeping company with the prisoner for three months. Ho left her at the corner of the Dog-row, Mile-end, last night, at a quarter past 10 o'clock. They had some words, and she would not let him see her home, and said she would go home by herself. The mother of the prisoner was desired to enter the witness-box, and she said—l know nothing about it at all. My daughter left home yesterday afternoon very comfortably at half-past two o'clock. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner for a week to the Clerkenwell House of Detention, where she will have the benefit of the spiritual advice and consolation of the worthy chaplain. Mr. Paget, at the same time, directed the mother of the girl to attend the court when the daughter was again brought up. The Mother—Please, sir, can I see my poor daughter; let me see her.  • Mr. Paget—You can see her; speak tt) the gaoler. The prisoner was removed from the court crying for her mother, with whom Roche, the gaoler, soon arranged an  interview.  THE MURDER IN ROSEMARY-LANE.—lnspoctor Dendy applied to Mr. Paget for summonses in the case of Patrick Harrington, who stabbed his son-in-law on Sunday night. We stated yesterday that it was intended to commit the prisoner for trial, but owing to the prisoner's strong asseverations of innocence, it was deemed necessary that additional confirmatory evidence should be given to the state-. ments of Cornelius Leary and his son Daniel, who swore that the prisoner struck Peter Mann, his son-in-law, on the right breast, that the deceased reeled, called out "Old man you have stabbed me," that tho blood gushed from a wound on the breast, mad that the young man turned over and died immediately. • Inspector Dendy said that several others would confirm the testimony of the Learys, and that there was no disposition on the part of any of the Irish who saw the fatal blow struck to screen the prisoner. Mr. Paget granted the summonses, and they were made out by Mr. Nairn, the second clerk, and entrusted to Howland, No. 89 H., one of the summoning officers of the court to execute. The atrocious murder has created a great feeling of indignation in the locality where it took place.
