The Lowell Tragedy.—The Lowell papers have a full account of the circumstances connected with the most horrible affair which took place in that city on Tuesday.

The substance of the evidence concerning the matter is embraced in the following items:

After dinner, when there was no one in the house but Moore and wife, her little grand daughter, and his idiot son, he came down from the attic to the kitchen, where his wife was busy at work, and asked her to go up stairs, and help him pack his things, preparatory to going to Somerville. She complied, and went up with him. After they had been gone some minutes, the little girl heard two sharp reports of a pistol, and in a few moments Mr. Moore came rushing down with his head covered with blood, shouting and crying that he was murdered. He rushed out on the street, and on going up stairs she found her grandmother lying dead.

City Marshal Lovejoy happened to be passing the house at the time, and saw Moore rush out, crying "Murder," "I'm shot," "They've been trying to kill me." "My wife has shot me," &c. He found his head and clothes were covered with blood, and carried him into the house. Before he got in he made a statement that he and his wife had been shot by a man but that he did not see his face, or recognize him. Mr. Lovejoy proceeded to ascertain who was in the house, and after going up two flights of stairs found the little girl. He enquired where her grandmother was, and she said she would show him. She then took him up another flight to the attic, where he found Mrs. M. lying dead in a pool of blood: On or near her left hand was a five barrelled revolver, all the barrels of which had been discharged. The pistol was very bloody, but there was no blood on Mrs. M.'s hand. Moore, who was below, several times stated that his wife had shot him and then killed herself.

Mr. Moore had very foolishly suspected his wife of infidelity, as appears from certain documents which have been found since the affair, and had become so excited on the subject as to lead him to kill his wife and attempt to kill himself. The examination before the Coroner's jury will be held to-morrow.
