Brough was within hearing , the coroner could not receive he * testimony as evidence .
The learned coroner proceeded to sum up , and remarked that he very much regretted , as a public officer , that he should be compelled to have come to that place and inquire in ^ o tie particulars of such a fearful tragedy . The labours of the jury were greatly lightened from the feet that the woman was still aJi ye , and he hoped the gentlemen would dismiss from their minds everything they heard elsewlere as to -what was said to have induced the -woman to commit the act . They had no-t the power in that coart to decide whether she was insane or not . The jury retiamed the following verdict : " That the deceased children were wilfully murdered by Mary Ann Broueh , their toother . "
The eldest daughter of Brough , Mary , 19 years of age , has come up from Yorkshire , and with her father has taken the last look at the bodies of the poor murdered children—the father half mad . Mary Brough < ha&seen her mother in prison , when the latter said she " did it" "because she feared , to be separated from the children . Brough himself refuses to see his wife . The man who seduced Hit . Bttwgn Itas been forced to quit the village ; houndad off by ^ pnblic indignation . The forlorn father it is proposed to pension , so that he may leave a pla . ee which = w-ill ~ erer haunted by the most agonising associations .

A curious experiment has just been made in the basin of the garden of the Falais Royal . A glass globe containing a certain liquid was thrown into the water , and then broken by
means of a stick . The liquid immediately spread over the surface of the wnter , and inflamed and continued to burn with an Intense flame for 56 seconds , throwing out a thick smoke .

We have some pretty stories from the Baltic It is said that " the commander of Sweaborg has been imprisoned for life , " and for a good and sufficient ; reason . " He had sold cannon-balls by thousands [ to whom ?] and provided others of wood painted-black * He had also converted two ramparts iuto gardens !" " Some of the fir gun-boats have been tried j they Hplit at the first shot . " Now , improbability , is rot a ground on which these stories may be disbelieved , because similar things hare happened before . But still it is incredible that such corrupt conduct could have been carried through successfully even in Russia . Yot it may be true .
