I he report ot the sueeons details the ill-ventilated .

      damp , and dirty condition of the houses generally in the lower parts of the towns ; the lamentable deficiency of water and drains ; the offensive effluvia from dung-heapa and decaying vegetable matters , and stagnant watei . It thus conclude * : — " These are the places where we may expect to meet with fevers and scrofulas in all their varieties ; and the sickly appearance of the inhabitants h more eloquent thau words in proclaiming the unwholesome ness of their abodes . Wo feel convinced that the removal of the sources of impurity from our courts and streets , by means of drainage and a plentiful upply of water , would amply repay the necessary outlay of money in saving the lives of numbers who perish annually in consequent of them , and in picserving the health of many who n » w linger ont a miserable existence , maintained at the public expense .

      KDIKBUROH . Leitb . —Cattm : for Sweden . —On Friday last , a cumber of very fine cattle , chiefly of the pure Ayrshire bred , were shipped here for Gottenburg , ex the Swedish Bohooner Alexander , for a gentleman in that country . They were selected by Mr Walter Finley , of Glascow , and from their appearance reflect much credit on his judgment . In the lot was a remarkably fine bull of the abort horn species , breed , as we are informed , by W . It . Ramsay , Esq ., of Barnton . The novelty of sending Scotch bred cattle to the continent excited a good deal of interest , and the result of the experiment will be looked for by h \\ interested in the breed of oxen . Foreign grain —It ia cheering to witness the immense importations of wheat , barley , and oats . Within the last four days upwards of 2 , 000 quarters have been reported ; and during the same short period more than 1 , 000 quarters have come coastwise .

      rors-buiiik . SinANfls SecjiDa . —For the last few weeks the quiet and peaceable inhabitants of Glen Urquhart have been much bewildered , if not confounded , by the hearing for several evenings after the setting of the au !> ex traordinary sounds descending down the elen , which at times resembled that of the tinkling of military cymbals , at other times , that of an instrumental jbnnd of music , and sometimes the firing of shots , similar to that of rifle shooting . This strange affair has led to much gossip and conjecture in the ele / i , for seme days back among the peasantry , but the general conclusion is , that it is the precursor of an eventful period . The above clearly shows , that notwithstanding schoolmasters being abroad in the Highlaud glens and dales , the delusive days of superstition have not yet altogether disappeared from among * t us .

An unusual number of fish were observed swimming abnut for several days , goinnnnd returning with the tide , but no particular notice was taken of them until Monday last , « hcn they set in very thick , literally crowding the harbour . The entrance was then secured by nets , and a large quantity of the fish caught and conveyed fresh to Edinburgh market .

      FRIGHTFUL MURDER OF A WIFE AND CHILD , AND SUICIDE OF THE MURDERER . ^ I't Sunday morning , about half-past six o ' clock , the inhabitants of Lower Norwood , Surrey , were thrown into a statoof alarming consternation in consequence of a most frightful murder , which hid been committed by a man named James Young , aged 27 years , an artificial flower-maker , residing in Highstreet , Lower Worwood , who succeeded in taking the liraiof his wile and child , andafterwardscommitted ^! ^ ! !! 'Tf the « n « e instrumentunder

      y . , circumatances of ther most awful character . It appears trom the subjoined particulars that th « man YonnK lived with his wife , Jane Young , aged 22 , and their infant , aged only two months at a small shop in the High-street , where they exhibited artificial flowers , &c , for s « lo . Young hnd been of weak intellect tor some time past , which had often attracted the notice of the tradespeople in the village , who were often apeafottg of his pecsHar antics . Tliery is no doubt ttort they had atiflfcyed great privation and distress , from the state of&e iiouse and the general appearance of the victims ar / i

      the murderer . Shortly after sa o ' clock police constable Armatrong , 278 P , was * going off duty to- bis residence , near the scene of tfe dreadful tragedy / but at that time nothing attract his attention , but whilst undressing himself he was alarmed at the cry of "Murder' aud loud screams . Ho instantly ran out only partially dressed , , and saw another constable , Archer , 202 P , hastening towards Young ' s house . \ iy the time they had reaehed the placesevejal of the immediate neighbours were running from the front of the premises , and , as- Archer proceeded 1 ti > the doorway to ascertain tlie cause of the alarm , "Smug came on to the threshold , with his hands covered with Wood , and a table knife-in the left haad ^ alao

      smeared with gore . He for w moment stood transfixed to' the spot , and the oonstables , seeing him armed with such a weapon , and fearing what had taken place from their previous knowledge of fcimy they drew their truncheona and . followed him into the house . He rushed upstaira'tc the first floor , * ndi when the officer reached the flbt landing-place » raostawfui spectacle presented itself . The lifefea * body of Mrs Young Jay with her head almost severe * from her body ; she was lying ih' a pool of bloody which had streamed from the wound completely , down the Blairs . Her head was on the too step and ' her feet were- in the bedroom . They pursued him into the front room , and before they owild secure him he sharpened ! the knife by rubbing ift up and down the stonework round the fireplace and stood before

      , the lookinp-Rlasa whe > e he drew the Uaife across his throat , inflicting a most frightful and extensive wound . When . fche officers had entered the apartment he was standing i » a Btooping position , behind the door and bleeding from a wound he ha * inflicted on hw neck . VVhilbtr he was lying on the Hour , the officers ruahed into the adjoining rooa and there discovered the- lifeless body of the infant on the bed with its head > eut completely off , oslv hanging : by a small piece of akin at th * back . The Msene jat this period was one at which tho officers felt much alarmed . Several neraona bfthis timn

      iCarae to their aid ,. whoj . seeing Youn * still-alive , and the unfortunate viotims quite warm , instantly despatched a mesaentier for Mr Chapman , surgeon , who attended with promptw ude , but when he reached the ihouse the mother and child were quite deaik The man wasatillaiivei-butthe surgeon was of ¦ opinion that he could not survive many minutes . He was pluced on the bed , but notwithstanding everything medical skill could devise ,, he died in a quarter ot an lwur . A knife was- found on the bed in tlie front room , and ihe stone work round the stave was smeared and covered with Hood , where he had-sharpened the deadly vveauou ,.

      As won as the officers found the man dead , they immediately forwarded information of the awfoi deed ' . Bthe Brixton station , and in a very short time Inspeator Gifford and a smaill body of officers repaired to the scene of murder , which , by eight o ' clock , was surrounded by at least 500- persona , who were Trith great difficulty kept back by the police , who took unavga of the bodies and the premises . A conatabl e was iilso despatched to Scotland-yard with the | artiouiars of the horrible affixir , which cast a uloom over the whole village . From subsequent inquiry U appeared that Young had been under the care of hia frienda at Hackney , owing to hia mind being somewhat impaired ; but on Saturday afternoon he returned in the care of a re \ a .

      tivc , who had great trouble with him on the way to No rwood in the omnibus . The whole of Saturday uiglit Mra Young sat up-at work for the purposed completing a small order , and the general auppoaition is that Young laid down on the bed with part of hiscl-itbes on , and at tlie time of the murder bis wife , worn out witli labour , went to sleep by his side , when he awoke and committed the dreadful deed . The fire in the grate was still burning , and the few articles on the table which stood in the room were two cupa and an •» Id teapot , which indicated that they had only recently partaken © f tea . The bodies were removed into the front room > where they were left in thecharKe of police-constable 202 P , who first entered the place .

      'Wards noon tbe Ilisth-street was alraO 9 timpassable , and hundreds of persona poured in trom the surrounding districts . The relatives ot' the murdered woman are very respectable , aud , itia stated , reside in Brunswick-square . It seems rather strange that the Iriend . s of Young should have allowed him to go at large when they were aware that he was labouring under aberration of intellect , and it was suggested by his relations to get him into some lunatia ttaylum . Upon further search of the bodies the fingers on the left hand of Mra Young were much cut , no doubt in endeavouring to save h .-rself trom his grasp , and in the atruggle . Her death mu 3 t have been instantaneous , and tlie poor little infant must have died in a few seconds . There U little doubt but that he meant to make His escape ; but when he saw the police so near he n-treared back into the house , where he committed suicide .

      At ten o ' clock in the evening , large crowds of per " son « were round the bouse , and tlie greatest sym patliy seems to prevail for the murdered itmaie , wb « bore a most exemplary character for cleanliness a& d industry .

      FURTHER PARTICULARS . Young married the unfortunate victim of his violence upwards of tive years ago ; she has had three children by him , iwo of whom died shortly alter their birth . For some time past he had behaved in an eccentric manner , but nothing dangerous was apprehended in hia conduct until last Christmas , when he showed evident siuns of mental aberration . Mr Chapman was consulted , and prescribed for him , and advised that he should bo looked after , as he considered he might inflict injury on those around him . His wife , who waa greatly attached to him , objected to hia buing placed under reatraint , and expassed her conviction that he would neither hurt her uor himself . Ic appras a young man lodged in the

      house with him , and slept taere every night but Saturday uight ; bad he lieen at home , he might probably have rescued the victims from the unhappy maniac . When Young returned home on . Saturday niuht , he was so unwell that a medical gentleman was called in tu see him , who gave it as his opinion tuat he ought to be closely watched . About three o ' clock on Sunday morning , Young and hia wile were heard quarrelling by their servant girl ; he aated his wife for aumethiiif ! which she said site had net got . Ho then flew into a ^ . tssion , saying ho knew she had got what he a * U « l for , and he waa determined to nave it . Up at fio same time struck her , and she exclaimed , " Ah ! James , jou know you ought not to have dme this . " The quarrel then ceased . J .

      rope , a journeyman KhoeruaUor , in tho employment of Mr Q , uy , of 7 , High-street , Norwood , next door to the house iu which the murder was committed , « as awakened about ten minutes past six o ' clock o& Sunday morning by tho screams of a woman . He iinmeiiiately got up , and , with Mr Manahe , who lives at No 5 , knocked at the door of Young , which was opened by the servant girl , who , in answer to their qutation . " What is the matter ? " replied , she did not know , but thought her maater waa killing Mrs Yuung . Tliey saw blood dripping down the stairs , aud Mra Young lying with her feet on the stairs and her hrad on the landing-place , bleeding from a wound in the throat ; there was u out on the throat , and another at the back of tne neck . Ilia ( Pope ' s ) impression ia , thai Young first cut bis wife s throat in the bedroom ; that she ct&wletl to tho top of the Hairs , and screamed for help until she became exhausted ; he recollects the scream growing fainter

      until it died away . Upwards of two minutes elapsed after he Iu-iird the first screams before he got into the house . Whilst Popu and Miuuhe were on the landing-place , Young tamo out of the bedroom ; they tut-n ran do « n aiaira and went for a policeman and a doctor . No person saw Young cut his throat , aa . t . did it before any one returned to the house . It urtlier appear- that shortly before six o ' clock on Minday mornirg , Mrs Young called the servant-girl up and told her to get breakfast ready ; whilst the «! irl was lighting the fire , she heard Mr Young ask for twHwMiinK , io which his wife replied , " Mj dear , I have not got wiy . " llo aa \ d , "You have ; " a -ciifflo eusued , and her mistress tnde&vouted to call tier ny name , but could not ; tearing that he waa ill-using her she ran out and called at Mr Quy ' s huUiu . This s-cufflo was the fatal rep ^ tfcion ot the quarrel which tho gii'l heard at tl » e « oTelock the -urae m ruing .

      On Thursdav ahe took herh ' nal leave of her a » ed mother , and on Friday the condemned sermt'ti was preached by the Rev . Mr Ejre , from Numbers xxxii . 23 . On Saturday morning the crowd asaemb ' ed towitness the execution was very great est nine o ' clock the number ot iiersons could not have been leas ttiaa lOiOOft , most of whom were decently-clad women , and many had children in their arms . A few niU nutea before nine the officials proceeded to tlie evil ia which she was confined . On being pinioned she mado a alight shudder ,, but soon recovered hernelf . The procesaion was then formed to the drop , the unhappy female walking with a firm step , asd unsupported . On reaching the atepa at the foot of the gallows on » of the turnkeys made an attempt to assist her in

      aseenuing . She passed him , however , unheeded , and walked up to the drop with the- most extraurdi . nary deliberation . Her youtuful appearance created a great sensation among the multitude . The sun shone brilliantly during this horrible period , and the wretched woman stood unmowd . She acanned the mass of human beings w « li a firmnesa most astonishing . The governor inquired of her if ah » had anything to say , she appearing from her manner to be desirous ot speaking , and in a chokinu tone sh& replied , " No , I can't apeak . " Tlie ext-cutioner having cempleted the preliminary arrangements . th » signal was given , and the drop fell . Her 8 trui (<» Ie »

      were painful in the extreme , and a thrill of horror ran through the crowd , voices being heard in many places to exclaim , " Shame , shame ! murder , murder ! " it must have been & cwipte of vmvrolea erelife had ceased . The drop was not erevted . aa io other county gaols , on the summits , but in a large meadow on the London side of tbe prison , access being obtained by a door in the boundary-wall of the * giol , which waa made on the last execution f r murder at that gaol—that of the notorious Cortler , for the murder of Maria Martin . The last cxeeutioa of a female in tlie town was 47 years ago , for setting fire to her master ' s house .

      [ liow much longer are these horrible public strangulations to continue to disgrace the fair £ une of this country , which vaunteth so much of civilization ? And what can be thought of the thousands of women , who assembled Io gloat over the untimely Vate oi' one of their own sex ? Shame I shame ! upon such morbid curiosity . ]
