recurring blockades of the Strand or Fleet-street, of catching his train or nailing his banker. But, after all, COCK/UI only knows how many paving boards, and surveyors' boards, how many rival packs of desperate commissioners, ma_ be fight ing over these skeleton houses of Middle-row. Beyond a doubt the resuscitation of the Holborn obstruction is, in part at least, owing to the awfully intricate machinery by which the work of local government is carried on in London. An ex hibition of its racks and pinions, its toothed wheels and drivers, its pistons and springs, all moved by the great central engine of selfishness, would astonish the uninitiated ratepayer. He little knows at what an expense of official en ginery he is paved, lighted, drained, dusted, and done for. Let him remember that the paving alone of the metropolis is in the hands of, at least, 88 different jurisdictions, comprehending many thousand officials, and governed by not less than 129 acts passed within the present century alone! Let the dweller in St. George's, before he complains of his own parochial troubles, think with chastened thankfulness on the 16 different districts of St. Pancras, their limits co-extensive with no known parish boandaries, the mystery of their metes and bounds locked up in the brains of some early sur veyor, or the desk of some close clerk of the peace. A knowledge of the human anatomy in said to be an affecting and almost painful acquisition. It sets men wondering how, with contrivances so supremely subtle, with mechanism so exquisitely adjusted, we do not dislocate a joint, or displace an organ, in every careless action of common life. Similar thoughts must follow on an acquaintance with the mysteries of parochial management. It is inconceivable how any street can ever be pass able, how a single lamp can ever be lighted, how a single sewer can ever carry off its burden, or a single pram furnish its supply, when the mind dwells on the many conflicting and curiously balanced powers that must co-operate in the work of paving, lighting, and sewerage. In a word, the machinery of self government in the metropolis reminds one strongly of that marvellously complicated apparatus for drawing a cork , in Hoosnries picture of the Quack's Cabinet. It is amazingly ingenious; but one wonders how the sharpest of butlers could possibly susceed in ever drawing a cork by its assistance. SOME of oar correspondents will have it that many English farmers are themselves unwilling to accept leases, but prefer to go on as yearly tenants. Now there has been, and perhaps still is, a certain degree of truth in this assertion, but when exa mined it will be found to afford most con clusive reasons for adopting the system of leases in the place of that of yearly tenancies. During the existence of the corn laws, tenant farmers found themselves in this condition—they had entered their farms under calculations founded upon prices held out to them by the different corn laws and their authors. There was always a certain act-of-parliament price of corn which farmers expected, and landlords and land agents professed to ensure, in the absence of special circumstances; and rents were fixed, and other farming contracts entered into with reference to such price. Down to the year 1822, 80s. per quarter for wheat was the ideal and act of-parliament price; under the corn-law of 1828, 63t. a quarter was the price promised by legislators and the legislature, which, under Sir ROBERT PEEL'S act of 1842, was reduced to 565. the quarter. But, under each and all of these laws the actual prices were generally below, often much below, the act-of-parliament promised prices. Farmers, there fore, became unwilling to enter into engagements upon a basis which their yearly experience told them was delusive ; and hence, until recently, there was much reluctance on the part of a large proportion of English farmers to acoept leases. That, however, has now passed away. The discussions which pre ceded the repeal of the corn laws have satisfied farmers that they mast rely for profit, not upon mere price, but upon their power to increase the surplus produce. Now, this it is clearly seen cannot be done under • yearly tenancy, and, therefore, farmers, in all the districts of England which are moderately well farmed, are earnestly de manding leases. In most cases where farmers are still unwill ing to eater into the permanent engagements of a lease, the reservation of the game by the land lords will be found to be the chief cause of that un willingness. Then the form of the leases to which landowners would, under the advice of their lawyers and land-agents, alone agree, is suck as no prudent farmer would accept; and it was to this part of the subject we particularly addressed ourselves in the suggestions lately made as to the terms and form of farm leases. But to say that farmers would de cline leases upon fair and reasonable terms and conditions is so far from true, that at this moment the question of lessee and tenant right forms the chief subject of remark in all genuine farmers' meetings. There is scarcely a farmer who would not imme diately adopt a different and a better system of management, with a rational lease, than he had before followed as a yearly tenant ; and in number less cases, tenants who, as yearly occupiers, have had insuificientcapital, would, when protectedby leases, ob tain from others the capital necessary to avail them selves of their improved situation. The fact is, that the system of managing a farm occupied from year to year is, and must be, essentially different from that adopted by a leaseholder. Where a farmer has a certain term of possession he does various acts of husbandry in a better and more effectual manner than he would perform the same acts as a yearly tenant; he does them once for all, and the consequence is that the cultivation of the land is conducted in after years at an absolute] less cost than where such acts had been lessperf ectly performed. The same amount of capital wo d go further, because laid out in a more effective manner by the same tenant when farming with a lease than when merely a yearly tenant. Thus, there can be no doubt that the simple act of granting rational leases to all that class of Eng lish tenant-farmers who may be called average farmers, would at once lead to a great and general improvement in husbandry. It may be said, and is constantly said, by the landed gentry, that tenants stay on their farms for long periods as yearly tenants—that many of them farm well, notwithstanding the apparently precarious nature of their tenures—and, therefore, why should landlords grant leases when they can get their estates well occupied without part ing with the complete and constant control over their tenantry which the system of yearly tenancies gives them ? Bat, in point of fact, there le comparatively little good farming upon estates let only from ear to year—the few exceptions, such as the coin Heath farms, and a few individual in stances scattered here and there, only proving the rule as depending on particular circumstances. farmers having no other means of living, and being altogether unfitted for any other avocation, go on as yearly tenants, or even enter upon new engagements without leases ; but they do not trust their landlords beyond certain and somewhat narrow limits. They farm as yearly tenants only, though as such they run great hazards, by farming too well for mere yearly holdings. The landlord's real interests might be fully pro tected by the insertion in the lease of some such clause as that to which we referred the other day—namely, that where the tenant is mismanaging and deteriora ting the farm, the landlord may, notwithstanding the lease, be at liberty to give six months' notice to quit, and, unless the arbitrators to whom the tenant may require the matter to be referred shall award that no material injury has been done by the tenant's management, the tenant shall be dispossessed and required to make good the damage be has caused. Such a clause would leave the power of dispossessing • bad tenant as completely in the landlord's hands as under a yearly tenancy, but would be inoperative upon a good farmer. The unwillingness on the part of landowners to giv e up the control of their land upon terms that will enable tenants to farm with safety and profit, ia perfectly unintelligible to those who regard land simply as property. There is generally a certain capriciousness in the way in which land holders deal with their property— the result probably of their want of acquaintance with the business of life,—that diminishes the confidence of men of business in dealinful r tl; them, and acts most prejudicially on hus bandry Of Of this the following short history of a farm in a county near the metropolis may serve as an illustration.] Four yews ago a first-rate farmer left the farm at the expiration of his lease because the landlord would not renew it without reserving the game, in order to let it to a gentlemen who occupied the mansion-hoses of THE PRASLIN MURDER.-COURT OF PEERS. On Monday the peers eat judicially, to hear the report of the Chancellor on the present state of the pre vious examinations" made in the official investigations of this melancholy affair.

The land was in good order, having been extremely well managed for many years previously by the outgoing tenant ; and after various attempts to re-let the farm by means of advertisements tad otherwise, a person was accepted as tenant who bad but little command of capital, and was not remark able either for skill or character. But then he was willing to submit to the reservation of game and rab bits, and to take a lease which might be determined by the landlord at the end of every fear years. That tenant is now about to quit at Michaelmas, and such a pic ture of agricultural desolation as the farm presents is not often seen. This is just what was predicted by the good tenant who left four years ago. But now comes the most extraordinary part of the tale. The lesson this landlord has received does not seem to have been sufficient ; for a good farmer, one entirely acceptable to the landlord, offered to take the farm at the rent asked, provided the rune was not reserved, and an absolute term of sixteen years granted. The offer was declined, the landlord Wresting on the reservation of game and refusing to grant a longer term than four years. The farmer then offered an additional rent equivalent to an increase of about 101. per cent. on the rent asked, bat that also was declined, unless the farmer would submit to the reservation of game, and take a four years' lease only. This he was, of course, too wise to do, and the landlord will have on his hands a farm utterly valuelesss in its pre sent state, and requiring a large preliminary outlay to bring it back into a state fit for cultivation. Ytt this proprietor is by no means rich, but, on the con trary, is reputed to be somewhat needy and incum bered. non was ratified by the King on the 23rd of May, and by the Grand Duke on the Ist ofJune; the acts of ratification were exchanged at Carbruhe. His Majesty arrived en Tuesday, about midnight, at Dusseldorf, and continued his journey by land to Weimar. Tits Mimi, Ana. 22.—1 t is stated that the Ne therland, government has caused fresh propontious to be made to the central committee for the suppression of duties on the Rhine. The instructions given to the plenipotentiaries of the states bordering on the river, lead us to hops for a reduction of the duties, but it cannot be hoped that they will be entirely suppressed. Some of the states are formally opposed to their suppression, because they cannot do without the receipts proceeding from these due& GERMANY.—AUSTRIA.—VIENNA, AUG. 25. The Prince Chancellor is still here : it is believed he contem plates an excursion to Venice. On the 23rd a courier was despatched to Paris; another set off for Rome • few days before. On the night, 23rd to 24th Aug., the Count Von Fiquelaiont, minister of state, took his departure for Venice and Milan : his stay in Italy is likely to be of some length, for the Viceroy is anxious to have his assistance in govern ing the Lombardo-Venetian provinces, during the arduous time that seems to be approaching. The Archduke Louis is gone to Ischl to receive the King of Prussia. New regula tions for the Vienna Exchange have been prepared by the president of the Chamber of Finance, and approved by the emperor : they will be enforced from the beginning of next year. Their object is to check rash speculnuou and subject sales and purchases of stook to certain legal forms. CRACOW, AUG. 26.—The Emperor intimated on the 13th inst. his determination not to suppress the university of this city. The faculty of law is to be reorganised on the model of that in the university at Lemberg. This new ar rangement is to come into active operation in the beginning of the educational year 1847-48. PRUSSIA, AUG. 27.—The cue of Szoldreki came on to-day. The accused admitted his accession to the asso ciation, but refused to criminate otherl. Wladimir Her tholomaeus von Wilczynski was next placed at the bar. It is reported that M. von Thile, cabinet minister, intends to retire on amount of his advanced years. All impression prevails that M. von Bodelschwingh will resign the portfolio of the interior, and, retaining simply the character of cabinet minister, exercise a general supervision of all administrative departments. The Breslau journals intimate that the cir culation of radical pamphlets from Switzerland by some un known agency, which has been carried on to a great extent in Konigsburg, had begun there also. It is remarked that the parties engaged in it appear to power an intimate know ledge of persons and localities. Many of the pamphlets have been sent under cover to parties in the country, as well as to townsmen. _ _ _ Now that the Journal des Debate has spoken, and afforded a text for comment, the Austrian-Papal ques tion promises to be a fruitful source of discussion in the French journals. The Conetilutionnel of Tuesday embraces with ardour the cause of the Pupe, in a long reply to the remarks of the Dataa of the previous day. The onslaught upon England for the favour, with which it regards Rome is thus dealt with by the Cmatiluliannel: As to the English, they are now, in the columns of the Journal den Wats itself. the enemies of our government ; and the amenities with which it notices the marks of adhe. sion which the Pope and the Italians find in Great Britain may be Judged from its sarcastic observe. lions. The steps which we have made since the rup ture of the English alliance have borne in Spain glorious fruit. On one hand, planed at the tail of Austria, we have already abandoned the independence of Poland, taken at the tribune the defence of the cutthroats of Gilli an, encouraged at once jesuitism, anarchy, and revolt in Switzerland, and excited the just distrust of Italian patrio• Sam and of the Pope himself. On the other hand, instead of protecting liberty in the world in concert with England, and of hastening by this alliance, rightly understood, the development of civilisation, our ministenal journal directs bitter sarcasms against the English nation, even on the octa gon of the honourable manifestations of th e Protestant press of England in favour of the venerated chief of the enthOlka, who has become for hie 'tete+ the apostle of liberty ! A new step in the Praslin affair has given fresh secasion for those secondary symptoms of excitement which occasionally arise in a topic of public discus sion the novelty of which is wearing off. On Mon day the chancellor delivered his report to the court of peers, together with the results of different depo- shims and post mortem examinations ; the first ver bally, and the second in a printed form. The phy dims Orfila and Tardieu pronounce, in reference to the dake's suicide, that "it is by no means necessary, in explanation of his tardy death, to suppose the swallowing of a second does of poison a long time after the first. Were it essential, we could, they add, "cite a great number of instances in which persons poisoned by arsenic acid have perished some days after sickness has ceased, although they have not taken a fresh dose? This is calculated to counteract the censure visited on the authorities when it was supposed that access to poison had been afforded the wretched culprit while in the Luxem bourg prison. We read in the Debate: Marshal Sebastiazu determined to return to Paris in spite of the efforts of his Franddaughter, who tried to dismade him from it. He wished, he said, to see what remained of his only child. He canoed the apartment of the unfortunate duchess to be opened, and he examined the scene of the crime which tore from him his well-beloved daughter. On the inspection being terminated, the marshal exclaimed " There is one still more to be pitied than I em—the mether of the assassin!" He immediately visited the Dowager Duchess de Choisenl-Praslin, and that was the only time that he has quitted his hotel since his arrival. Preparations for war form the chief item of news from Rome. An artillery captain, named Lopez, has been sent to France to purchase ten thousand muskets : and ten thousand hands are already held oat to re ceive them, that number of young volunteers having offered themselves to resist an invasion. Meanwhile, the Roman government steadily continues to arm the civic guard, for which purpose citizens from all parts of the states offer it arms. Signor Azeglio is on the point of starting for L Romagna, charged with full powers on the part of the Pope to organise resistance in case of necessity. According to a letter in the Semaphore de Mar milks : . . _ The enthusiasm is at a great height in Rome, and within the last few days Cardinal Ferretti, on seeing the national guard manmurre near the country house of the Prince de Piombino, cried that "he would willingly march at the head of the brave young men, and that he would not hesitate to command them on the field of battle." The spirit of pattiotism and of energy which animates the holy father and his principal councillors has extended itself not only among the people, but even to the hearts of the ecchteiasties. The early organiwition of a battalion of prices and monks is spoken of, and it is certain I that a great number of member* of the religious orders exer cise themselves in the practice of arms. The Pope rides about the city on a white mule, which he bought at Florence, and shows to ►is loyal and faithful subjects a (Ace beaming with the claim of a good conscience, and the profound senti ment of his rights and his strength. We are assured that ?d. Reed, having offered him his mediation on the subject of the affair of Ferrara, he replied that, considering himself seriously offended, he would not be contented with an ordi. eery arrangement, and that he intended to exact complete matisfeetioa. The Semaphore gives no date to the above, but the Sod quotes a letter from Rome of the 23rd, which states that the Austrian. were still at Ferrara. The Swiss Diet came on the 27th to a decision with respect to the federal officers who are connected by service with the Sonderband. Twelve states and two half states voted for the proposition of the Dino tory for striking ont of the lists of the federal staff all the officers of whatever rank who may hold ser vice ander the Sonderbund ; and eight states and two half states voted against it. The debate which pre ceded the vote wee very animated. FRANCE.—THE IiWICIDE IN PARIS.—The Droil says that M. Alfred Montairiniou, who has committed suicide, was married to the daughter of General Peyron, was father of eight children, and in the enjoyment of all the advantages or rank and fortune ; therefore no conjecture can be formed of the muse of the fatal act he has committed. Various statements upon this subject have been in circulation, but they are so contradictory, that they nullify each other. Ac cording tosome of them M. de Montesquiou made the attempt under the influence of violent chagrin, occasioned by the rail conduct of one of his nearest relations ; according to others, he had involved himself by enormous speculations in corn, and was driven to despair by seeing his fortune endangered by inevitable losses. At the same time, an incident which oc curred 20 years ago has been revived. It was much talked of at the time. M. de Monteaquiou, at a party at Prince Pomo di Borgo's, lost at !mit 1,800,0001. But this sum was paid the next day by General Peron, who had held a military command in India, in which he distinguished him self by his courage and ability. RIGHT OF SEARCH.—The Mondeur nays " In the month of Marshiest the French brig the Deo x Sour/ being off the western coast of Africa, was, on the part of the English brig-of war the Wanderer, the object of a chase, and subsequently of a search, the object of which was not only to verify its nationality by the examination of the ship's papers, but to ascertain the state of the vessel and the circumstances which might have caused its navigation to be suspected. On the reports transmitted to the British Admiralty on the subject of this search, against which the captain of the Deux &ears protested, the English govern • meat has recognised that the conduct of the officers of the Wanderer was illegal, and contrary to treaties. Instruc tion., dated Jane last, were issued by the Lords of the Ad miralty on this occasion, repeating that when the right of a vessel to carry the French flag is proved by the exhibition of Its papers, the English cruisers have not the right to inquire into what passes on board, nor to seek what might cause an illicit destination to be suspected. The blame expressed on this occasion by the English government shows that it has seized with alacrity the first opportunity of causing the in structions annexed to the convention of 29th May, 1846, to be scrupulously observed." BELGIUM.—BausseLs, Avo. 31.—The Duchess of Kent is expected to arrive in this city this afternoon from Cologne. To-morrow H.R.H. will proceed to Chtend, where their Belgian majesties and the royal family arrived yester day. It is expected that they will stop there for a fortnight, If the weather be favourable. HOLLAND.—THE HAGUE, Atm. 31.—The King of the Netherlands and the Good Duke of Baden have just concluded a convention for OF reciprocal transportation or giving up to the competent authorities all persons accused, and malefactor', who shall take relbge in Holland or in Baden, being the subjects of the other mato. This omen- Farm THE BALTIC.—In the coarse of this year, a steam-boat communication will be opened between Ham- burg and Kiinigsburg, the heirs of Herr Poleck, of the latter place, having purchased two steamers for that pur pose. It is resolved also to run steamers between Kimigsburg and Stettin, and between the former and Memel ; so that, in a short time, the entire coast of the Baltic, from its ex treme eastern point, St. Petersburg, to its extreme western one, Kiel, will be provided with steam-boats. The insurance premium for vessels in the Baltic has already been lowered. On account of the dangerous navigation of that sea, the rates were four or five times higher than on vessels bound te America.—Cologne Gazette, Aug. 31. BAVARIA.—Musicn, AVG. 27.—1 t appears, by the royal ordonnance, convoking an extraordinary diet for the 20th September, that the object of that step is to raise supplies for continuing the works on the Lewis South-North line, and to construct a line from I;chtenfels to the fron tiers, in the direction of Coburg, and another from Bamberg to Wurzburg, Ascheffenberg, and the frontiers in that direc tion.—On the 26th Lola Montes gave a brilliant soli Ee on the occasion of her being created Countess of Landsfeld, an extinct title formerly belonging to a noble family in the palatinate. DENMARK.—SLESWICK-HOLSTEIN, Am 27. The high court of Holstein has delivered judgment on Bese ler and Lorenzen, who took so active a part in the popular meeting in Neumunater, and in drawing up the remarkable !We're.' against the incorporation of the Danish duchies. The former has been acquitted, but the latter sentenced to one year's imprisonment in • fortress. He has appealed against the sentence, and it is said that the crown prosecutor will do the same with regard to Beseler.—Tbe Hamburg papers state that their hotels are overflowing with strangers from all quarters, on their way to the great agricultural meeting at Kiel.

Letter from the Duehms to Mall,. De Lazy when at Turin with her eldest daughter : Prodin, 25th August, 1•48.—I wish not to delay a moment, my dear mademoiselle, in thanking you AI your kind letter, which gave me a lively pleasure. and which ao far from thiuking long. I could have wished it to be double. I got it this evening, and I will deny that It was me that letters bad reached, for my head and my heart were much excited by the long silence. I am happy, as you may guesa, to hear all you tell ms of Isabella 's happiness, but I am much utonislied that you fled no change in her manners. There is a very marked coe in her letters. I thank you a thousand tlmes for the details you have given me. You say that Louise and Berths apeat of me often with Isabella. It la perhaps to give me pleasure that you write this ; in any mos you have completely succeeded, for I wept with joy. Once more, my dear mademoiselle, I thank you a thousand times from the bloom of my heart for yourdetter, which I truly hope will not be the laat. rixasnast-Paasixe.

It to then he rtily that I offer you my hand, mademoiselle, and ask you to for get, in order that we may lire well together henceforth, all the mo. meats of pain that I have caused you, and I promise you, also, to pas the sponge over all the circumstances which, in mortifying me, bare excited me to occasion them. livery one has his faults in this world, and I am induced to believe that it LA too happy. Thin ought to render on mutually more indulgent, and to facilitate re conciliation. lam truly oonviooed of your sincere and tender at tachment to my children, and believe me that no one is more disposed than I em to show gratitude and affection to thou who have been devoted to them if I am not wounded to the heart by the thought that they are estranging them from roe. You know m well as Ido that it is custom which came. attachment, especially with children. Not seeing their mother, she loses her place in their hearts, so to their life they end by doubting her love, happy if at • late period their esteem and their confidence are not shaken. Certainly this was not your object; for yon must have known that It would be as pernicious to the children as eorrowful to the mother to destroy bonds on sacred. Frio one trifle to another one cornea to do things which at fleet one woo far from conceiving. If, instead of irritating oneself about faults which are mutually confessed, we reciprocally overlooked them, I believe that every one in this world would make a good birgain. It requires only to be a good driver and r, round the stone-heaps Instead of over them ; for my part, I memo that I often come into collision. I had long intended to write to you to renew all our acquaintance with the year; it is, therefore, with double pleunre that I have received your charming work this evening, honoree it proves that y- care also willing to put an end to a state of things which I am continued cannot fail to be hurtful to the children, to place yourself often in a disagremble and false position, and 'daft, me in one very cruel to me, who live iso lated for so long a time from throe dear affections in the midst of which I was on happy! I anticipate with great ardour the time when my daughters will be grown up, and I confess I suffer much in wring them what they are towards me. But I am taking a long time to say that we ought to try to abandon a wrong course to take another, and to beg you to receive and take up this gage of a new alliance, to which I hope you will consent. The following is from an undated letter found in the duke's bureau : . You have • rare and precious talent at Weaning everything. While your conduct influenced only the happinem of my life it was my duty to be silent, end I wee Do. If you imagioe, with your muttered worms and your threats, to make people understand that I no more ap. prove in public than In private the conduct of a person whom I de. eolee, and who don not merit your madder* nor mine, you are ntaht; for I think its scandalous shame to allow the presence near young people of a woman who haa proclaimed lamellas Mehra; done. I know well enotteh that you have other lidinae, end that it is not with her that your life G occupied, but tee manta the attitude. It is this which I have the right to blame. Ido not pretend to bury my well with your private conduct wad affections. but nether menses, nor ill-treatment will prevent my repeating, as I have • right to do, that you deceive yourself In putting your children into the hands of woman who ham no care for her reputation, and has ceased to respect herself. The syetem of governewie hem always beat unsuccers ful with us. It In time, for the mitt, of our children, nd the dignity of our rank, to change it.

You are aware of the frightful crime that is imputed to you. You know all the circumstances which have come under your own eyes, end which do not allow of a shadow of doubt. I recommend you to shorten the fatigue which seems to oppress you by making a cenferinon, for it is impossible for you to deny ; you cannot dare to deny.--The question is very definite, but I have not sufficient strength to answer. It would require long explanations. You say it would require long explanations; but, on the contrary, a "yes" 6r a " no " is sufficient.—lt requires great strength of mind to reply that " yes " or " ao." It requires immense strength, which I do not pusses. There is no necessity for entering into long explanations to reply to the question which I have just put to you.—l re. peat that it requires great strength of mind, which I do not possess. At what hour did you part with your children, on the evening the crime wu committed 2—lt might be haltpast 10 or a quarter to 11. Whet did you do when you left them ?-1 went down to my chamber, and went to bed immediately. Did you sleep 2—Yes (sighing). To what hour ?-1 don't recollect. Wu your resolution formed when you went to bed ?—No; but I don't know if it can be called a resolution. What was your first thought upon awaking ?—I think I was awoke by cries in the house. I immediately hastened to the chamber of Madame de Prulin. (The accused here added, sighing, " I beg of you to spare my life, and to stop this interrogation.") When you entered the chamber of Madame de Preslin, you could not be ignorant that all the entrances about you were closed, and that you alone could enter.—l was ignorant of that. You have frequently, in the course of this morning, gone into the chamber of Madame de Praslin. Wu she in bed the first time you entered ?—No ; she was unfortunately stretched upon the floor. . . _ Wu she not stretched upon the spot where you had struck her for the last time ?--Why do you put such a question to me? Because you have not answered me all. Whence came these scratches which I ace upon your hands ?—They hap pened yesterday evening, when about to leave Peach., when making up some parcels with Madame do Trash's. And that bite upm your thumb—how did that happen ? It is not a Mite. . _ _ The doctors who visited you declare that it M.—Spare me, I am exceedingly weak. You must have experienced a most distressing moment, when you saw, upon entering your chamber, that you were covered with the blood which you had just shed, and which you were obliged to wash off?—These marks of blood have been altogether misinterpreted. I did not wish to appear be fore my children with the blood of their mother upon me. You are very wretched to have committed this crime ? ' (The accused makes no answer, but appears absorbed ) Have you not received bad advice, which impelled you to this crime ?—I have received no advice. People don t give advice on such a subject. Are you not des -Aired with remorse, and would it not be • sort of solace to you to have told the truth ?—Strength completely fails me to-day. You are constantly talking of your weakness. I have just now asked you to answer me simply " yes " or "no."—lf any body would feel my pulse, he might judge of my weakness. Yet you have had just no v sufficient strength to answer a great many questions in detail. You have not wanted strength for that. (The accused makes no reply.) Your silence answers for you that you are guilty.—You have come here with a connetion that I am guilty, and I cannot change it. You can change it if you give us any reason to believe the contrary ; if you will give any explanation of appearances that are inexplicable upon any other supposition than that of your guilt.—l no not believe I can change that conviction on your mind. Why do you believe that you cannot change that COllVie awl I—(The accused, after a short silence, said that he had not strength to continue.) When you committed this frightful crime did you think of your children ?—Aa to the crime, I have not committed it • as to my children, they are the subject of my constant thoughts. Do you venture to affirm that you have not committed this crime ? The secused, putting his head between his hands, remained silent for some moments, and then said, " I cannot answer such a question." The Chancellor then intimated to the prisoner that he most consider himself under arrest, and the examination terminated. We are compelled to defer the examination of Mdlle. de Luzzi till to-morrow.

INCREASED POOR-RATE. CHARGE AGAINST THE OFFICIALS or ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE. Yesterday a numerously attended meeting of the vestry of Bt. Pancras took place at the vestry-rooms, Gordon-square, for the pur pose of confirming the increased poor-rate of 15d. in the pound for the half year, and to consider the present state of the workhouse. Mr. Churchwarden Howarth having tees called to the chair, a deputation from a very large meeting of rate.payers, held on Monday evening, presented a memo rial, numerously signed, expressive of the opinion of the meeting that the increase of 3d. in the pound in the last poor-rate was wholly uncalled for, and designating the pro posed enlargement of the workhouse as calculated to carry eat tea palter extent the very worst feature of the new Pooelaw Bill, namely, the refusal of out-door relief. The confirmation of the minute adopting the rate of 15d. in the pound having been moved and seconded, Mr. Brettinghem expressed his conviction that a 13d. rate would be sufficient. They had managed to get over all the difficulties of a year of complete famine with a rate of one shilling, and now that provisions were cheaper, they proposed an increase. lie firmly believed that in less than two months wheat would be lower in price in this country than it had I ever been for the last 150 years, and other food in proportion. Mr. Churchwarden Wagstaff said it could not be expected when there had been such • pressure of paupers hr the country that London should escape. Liver pool had been obliged to levy a rate of 7e. 6d., and Man chester a rats of Is. Ed. in the pound, and that pregame had now found its way to London. The question was not one of argument, but one of figures, and although some had said the utimatas he this rate had been made too high, he could prove that la may instances it had been made too low. The cant for taimporery relief had increased from 1,0711. to I,4llol.S fr ui 1M flaunty rate had been increased from 3,5361. he 411 sod there must be 3,7001 immediately paid for pass . Douglas supported the rate, and said that whilst dISSIONINIISSIL of the parish had been decreased by the nifty te 665,7941., the magistrates had determined to assess the. n the old assessment of 665,6121 If the parish were rseawd to the poor upon the latter, a shilling rate would give 7801. more than the 15d, rate now asked for.—On the question being put, the rate of Is. 3d. was confirmed by a majority of 23 to 11, several vestrymen however not voting.—The chairman then presented the recommen dation from the board of directors for the appoint- Milt of • committee to consider the state of the moi ci n the workhouse, and with a view to better classi and soosomodetion.—Mr. Douglas, in moving the appointment el the emmaittee, said, however much the prin. ciple of giving usielow relief oleo be increased, an increase in the workhouse wadi be . The present work house was built is 1809, when St. Paneres contained bat 6,826 houses, and a population of only 46,320; whereas, by the anus of 1841, it appeared there were 14,776 houses, and :=lscion of 125,698 persons. The population was vow 140,000; and was it likely that a workhouse built when there was only a population of 46,000 would be ade quate for the preset population ? It was only calculated for 800 people. At t his period last year there were only 1,316 inmates; new then were in the house 1,689 persons, and this with an Menem of out-door relief to the extant of one-half. He had no objection M ea-door relief but the rata-payers must leatininible tithe ratewen Leaeeeed thereby to ls. 8d in the peed.—Mr. Healey monde& the motion, and described the present state of the workhouse and the *voodoos* of the peer {heroin as a foul diagram NS the dtedems oloi every ass ammosed.
