RESIGNATION.

To the Editor of the Evening Star. SIE, —If the authors of the anonymous letters in the Cross will father their children by publishing their names, I will give the explanation they ask for ; of course, members and ex-members of the Council excepted. One question I may with justice to the public give an answer to. V the Council wish me to take my seat-' usual, I intend so to do; and if tb/ ilo that I shall not take my seat, I / conclude the Councillors, many of at least, have changed their minds, .^thank: them for their decision. The v^r^jeil have discretionary power. First part of the Regulations of Proceedings of Council will show the power, and the enclosed extract relative to resignations of aldermen will show one of the many precedents. I am, &o, Chaeles Atkin.

PRINCE OF WALES THEATRE.

It seems utterly incomprehensible that a fine play like " The Lancashire Lass," which was performed last evening, should have been so poorly patronized. Actors of the first order, —scenery good,—music of a high class, —everything to charm the eye and ear, —and yet the theatre was almost empty. The managers, however, have had the courage to announce the same piece for to-night's entertainment. We trust it will meet with better success,

THEATEE ROYAL.

The sparkling burlesque " Ixion" was re peated last evening before a full house and gave general satisfaction to the audience. It was preceded by an amusing nautical drama in two acts, entitled " Gale Breezely," in which Mr Burford and Miss Stephenson both appeared to advan tage. Both pieces will be repeated this evening.

SHOCKING MURDER BY TWO BOYS.

A sad incident occurred at Steubenville county, New York, Infirmary a few days ago, resulting in a horrible death; the burying of a small lad named Murphy, aged five years, a reel-footed child, who was deserted by the mother to cloak her shame. It appears that two other pauper children, named Phillip Sheridon and Andy Stuart dug a large hole in the or chard adjoining the Infirmary. After effecting this part of the diabolical act, the two little fiends, whose ages are respectively, five and ten years, repaired to the Infirmary grounds and caught the reel-footed boy and carried him to his living grave. Shrieking, yet without power of being heard, the little victim was caught by the young executioners and forced into the hole. Holding him down, they shoveled in the earth and stones upon his writhing body, stifling his cries as best as they could until the poor, de formed body ceased to struggle, and the spirit took its flight to Him who gave it. The two young murderers went back to the house without informing any one of the deed, and the buried boy's absence was first noticed by Mr Porter, the Super intendent, about one o'clock. Upon mak ing iuquiries a little black boy informed him that Andy Siuart and Phil Sheridan had " buried' Limpy' down in the holler." On going to the 'spot, Mr Porter found the °newly-made grave, and below the surface the lifeless form of " Limpy." The little murderers have been sent to the Eeformatory. This is one of the saddest incidents we have ever had to record.— New York Standard.
