FRANCE Omit oos cane 00itaMMONDMIT.) FARM SAIMIDAT EVENT3G. M. Jules Fevre has been pleading at Bordeaux' for three days consecutively in an appeal suit for nullity of marriage of very great importance. His client, a respectable French gentleman named Balnette, seeks to set aside a marriage into which he alleges that his son, a young man of weak intel lect, was entrapped at Rome. Be charges a con= spiracy against the bride and her mother, and an interdicted priest named Arcangeli , t o bring about the marriage by fraud, intimidation, and false imprisonment, the papal police conniving. It appeared from M. Jules Pavre's statement that young Jules Balnette, who has a tad conforma tion of the brain, was not long since confined in Charenton and other lunatic asylums. Some medical men thought him incurable, and prophecied that if he were at large he would inevi tably relapse from time to time and become a dangerous lunatic. It was admitted on all hands; that be was addicted to druaketatures and low I debauchery ; but' being an only child, his father, who was very indulgent to him, cherished the) hope of • possible reform, and at length obtained bin release from Charenton od the strength of a medical opinion that if he were to go to Rome and pursue the study of Fainting, for which be has a decided vocation, it would be for his benefit. To Rome accordingly Jules Balnette wai sent in the ( winter of 1860. There he took lodgings in the house of a woman named Giobbe, whose daughter, by her first husband, Teresa Cenotti, is the defen dant in the cause. Teresa, a single woman of thirty, who is represented by the plaintiff's counsel as • girl of loose character, soon acquired an influence over Jules Balnette and became his mistress. The interdicted priest, Arcangeli, who was the lover of Madame Giobbe, got possession on various pretexts of the remittances which M. Balnette, sen., sent to his eon, and thus reduced him to great distress. I One day Arcangeli told Juice Nanette that he was liable to three years' imprisonment for baring seduced a Roman girl, and recommended him to gat married to her immediately. The weak young man was so frightened at this intimation that he consented to go off at once to a church, where a priest was interrupted while he was celebrating mass, and induced to perform the ceremony of marriage. None of the forms required by the Roman law having been observed on this occasion the marriage was palpably illegal, but this very illegality served the purpose of the conspirators. By the aid of the police they got Jules Balnette put in prison for having been married clandestinely, and while he was under duress they told him that the only' way to escape a very heavy sentence was to be mar ried again with all due legal solemnities. Mean while Jules had written to his father to say that he had been entrapped into a marriage, and begging his assistance. The father, half distracted, tame to Rome, complained to the French =bony, and lodged there on October 19, 1861, • declaration that he distinctly and positively refused his consent to his eon's marriage. It should be here explained that Jules Balnette was not a minor, be in at this time nearly thirty years of age ; but the French law requires that every person marrying, no matter at what age, shall "ask" the consent of his parents, and can ouly dispense with it by serving a legal document called a " respectful intimation . Whether in the case of a marriage abroad the want of this respectful intimation necessarily entails nullity of marriage is one of the questions in the cause. The Tribunal of First Instance of Cognac, which held that it was in the discretion of the court, on consideration of all the circumstances of each particular case, to say whether the absence of this intimation was fatal, in the present instance ruled that it was not. Unfortunately a few days after his arrival M. Balnette, sen., receiving news from Paris that his wife was seriously ill, suddenly left Rome, leaving his son in prison. On October 31st, 1861, Jules Babette was taken in a back carriage lucked with a padlock to a church in the parish of St. Augustine in Rome, and there at the altar he was offered his choice of being sent to the galleys or marrying Teresa Csnotti. Pressed by this alternative be con sented to be married, and the Tribunal of Cognac holds that under the circumstances this was the "free consent" which, according to French law, is of the essence of the marriage contract. The court below construed the previous clandestine marriage as evidence of the young man's real intentions, and it was in fluenced by the fact that since the marriage he has several times returned to Teresa Cenotti, and written her affectionate letters as his wife. Teresa, who has been living for the last year and a half at Angouleme, produces a certificate of good conduct from the bishop of that diocese, who, however, it is insinuated, bas received orders from Rome to support her. M. Jules Fevre, in supporting the appeal, pronounced a terrible invective against the immorality of the Papal police, and eloquently claimed the protection of the court for Freuch families. In the course of reading his evidence be produced a very curious letter from a former grand provost of the army of Rome—a witness who must have had unusual opportunities of knowing what the Papal atthorities really are. This old soldier, now commanding a company of gendarmerie at Marseilles, wrote as follows to M. Balnette, senior : My antecedes* my prior:Spies, and the rank I bold of superior officer in the geadarmene, should place my testi mony above all suspicion, when I pre facts which mast NOM incredible in France, even though I say they tressed before my own eyes. Were I yet in Rome I could be able to get you the certificate you wit of the " Chaste Teresa's" way of life. But it would be idle to apply direct for it to the Roman police. In the gut place, they would not take any steps to procure one miler paid in advances very con sidemble sum. Than, were there any doubts held as to the use which might be made of it, they would represent her as • cruelly. deceived virgin, torn from the arms of afflicted parents by • scamp of • Frenchman. lam oo intimate terms with K. FOiseau d'Estraigues, the chancellor of the French embassy. I shall apply to him for the certificate you want, because he is used to such things, and knows that he moat be a diplomatist when dealing with wily Indians, who makes merit of deceiving " French canaille. believing not in God; for in France we do not believe in God se the Romans do. I hare arrested at Lome assassin of the blackest dye , who, under the pretest of serving legitimacy in Naples, bad cm. mated time most atrocious crimes, keeping in dtuaoce those whom they had captured until ransomed, and betiding them home in a mutilated condition. I remember well the names and crimes of these brigands, every one of whom was provided with regular passports, and had often been nos. coaled in convents when not reosomed. I have often ar rested to the peat scandal of the clergy others is the churches is Asgranie delide, in consequence of which the Roman police connived at their escape. It is well to know all this when one is about to seek justice in a place when it m sever practised. BELOT Di LA DIGAZ. The case stands adjourned till Tuesday, when Teresa Cenotti's counsel, a provincial barrister, will address the court. M. Jules Fevre, who has now returne t to Paris, promises to go back to Bordeaux to reply. In the Correctional Police court of Lyons, on Monday, a young scapegrace named Bertholey, who was placed at the bar to take his trial for writing a threatening letter, suddenly rushed upon one of the witnesses, knocked him down, and hit and scratched him in a frightful manner. For this outrage be was then and there condemned to five years' imprisonment. For the original offence he was sentenced to only one year.

The gates had been thrown across the road to allow the train to pies, but at the side of these barren is a wicket gate far the nee of penman on foot, and there is nothing to prevent anyone crossing at this point at a dangerous mamaat excepting the cautious of the gateman. The moment Manning got through t►e wicket he was struck by the eosins and thrown across the rails.
