He could not, however, enter into any without making a speech, which would not be proper ea the present occasion. (Hear, hear.) He must also de alias to inform the boa. member what advice he had given, a might hereafter give, to her Majesty's government. (Her, bear.) . to reply to Mr. MACAULAY. Mr. LAY AKD said her Majesty's government had not yenned any official communication, announciog that the limper°, of Braid bed accepted the mediation which had bees offered by the King of - Portugal ; but be had seen it Meted in the pun that he had avowed his intention of at imptiag it. The impression of the Portuguese Minister at this court was, that a communication would shortly be made to beer Majesty's government on the subject ; Le be lieved the offer was on of mediation, and not of good offices Since the suspension of relations no communication bad taken place between her Majesty's government and the government of Inudl, ad consequently no reply had been received to the despatch of the Dade earl. He (Mr. Layard) thought it would be better not to give any COM spoodssee at present, u there were reasonable grounds for loping that relation would be speedily resumed between the two governments. THE POOR LAW. Mr. OOSCHEN ached the President of the Poor Law Board whether the select committee on poor relief woubi make a report this session ; and if eo, whether in time for on the subject; and if it WM the intention of her Majesty's government to bring forward any measure founded thereupon during the present session. Mr. VI LLIERS believed that the report would be made is time tor legislation this session, and he would defer giving any opinion on the subject of legislation until he had seen the document. THE BATTERSEA CRICKET GROUND. Mr. AYRTON asked the Finn Oommissioner of Works whether he had noised say instructions to put an end to the appropriation of a part of Battersea-park as a cricket grouad for the exclusive use of the civil service. My. COWPER was aware that there wee great jealousy amongst the young urea who played at cricket in Bettersea-park ; but from the ingairies be had made he could not ,certain that there was any just ground for corn- Valet. The game of cricket required that an open space should be kept clear for the players—(hear, bear)—end the ground had been dealt with in inch a way as to avoid a *pillion of interests. It had been divided into five parts. The first and largest was appropriated to pence, who were not members of clubs, hut who came to play spontaneously. (Hear, hear.) Another plot was kept for the practice of organised clubs. A third was for the matches of those dabs. The fourth was for the Battersea leatitutios ; sad the fifth for the Civil S•niceOlob. As far ea he could ascertain there was room for everyone to play. Some et the clubs complained that the civil service ground was better than the rest ; but he did not think that that we. the case ; or if it was. it had vises from the money which the Civil Service Club had spent in mowing and rolling their plot. (Hear, hear.) In answer to Mr. Cox, Mr. COWPER added that the largest grated would ac commodate eighteen games. The civil service would give spacer for a much smaller number, and the club numbered 730 members. THE ROYAL ACADEMY. Lord ELCHO asked the First Commissioner of Works whether parliament would Imam opportunity of expressing an opinion upon any new coostitutioe that might be pro- posed for the Royal Academy before her Majeaty's govern ment took any steps to provide increased accommodation for the annual exhibition and schools of the academy. He begged also to ask whether, as the names of the artists had been appended to the successful architectural designs, a similar coarse would he taken with regard to the others! Mr. COWPER said his noble friend would have an oppor tunity of bringing the matter before the house, and perhaps the best mode of doing so would be by moving an address to the crown. He had not felt himself at liberty to ones the scoompayiog letters to say but the three encomia] daises • but he should be happy to append the names of the eth er candidates to their drawings, if they desired it : and he should came an advertisement to be published on the subject. Lord ELCHO then asked if it was the intention et the government to make any proposal to parliament for pro viding increased accommodation for the gallery. Mr. COWPER said the government proposed to submit to estimate for a new National Gallery on the site of Bur !Meta-house. If the house should sanction that scheme, steps would be taken to dispose of the buildings which were at present occupied by the pictures belonging to the trustees of the National Gallery. Mr. ORE i'ORY asked whether the reply of the Royal Academy to the report of the commission of inquiry and the report of the trustees of the Nations] Gallery on the CEZkinew Natiodal Gallery at Barlington.horme would before parliament. Mr. COWPER replied in the affirmative. THE CASE OF MR. BEWICKE Mr. BERKELEY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Deportment on what grounds the convict Hutchin son, senten c ed to four years penal servitude for perjury, is the C4OB of conspiracy against Mr. &melte, of Three,. wood Hall, had been released on a ticket of leave, atter sixteen months' imprisonment.

EVENING, MAY 6, 1864. :lAL I: SCZ. (non ors owe 001111111POWDZST.) PAWS, WZDZILIDAY MOM The trial, which has long been looked forward to in the Faubourg Bt. Germain with intense interest, of a physician, blaring the title of Count, for poi soning a lady, whose life he had insured for an enormous amount, is fixed for Monday next. I enclose a translation of the indictment, which is in itself a sensation noveL M. Lachaud is re tined for the prisoner. At the beginning of November last there lived in a small lodging on the second floor in the Rue Bonaparte, a woman of the age of 42, who ever since 11358 bad been the widow of a ;minim named Palm. She was left without fortune and with three children, the eldest of whom wee only eight veers old. She courageously struggled against the &Bl eolties of the situation in which she found herself, and worked inoesouttly to provide for herself and her With all this her health was ksbitually good, and down to the date of November 16 she was in no way iIL But at half-past six in the evening of November 17 this woman, 90 lull of life but the day before, died from the effects of vomit Mg with which she had been seized the night before, and the vicunas and fatal issue of which appeared altogether inexplicable. This melancholy event produced in the minds of thole who were in the habit of seeing the widow Pauw • feeling of painful utonishniest, end taken is COODelriall with various things which she had told them it gave rise to grave sue. picions. These suspicions reached the ear of Madame ()rhea, • sister of the deceased, sad on November 21, her hub•nd lodged • oomplaiat at the parquet. He confined himself in the first instance to the allegation that the death of widow Pauw might possibly hare resulted from poison administered to her by a person intended in an insurance on her life. But beton long he spoke more precisely, and from his statements, added to other confirmatory informs. tine, it resulted that the widow Pauw had been poisoned, sod that La roamers" was the author of the I crime. The fine thine to he dose is pr•••••• of this aocusatioa was to anertain the cause of death. While there was the most eerier moon to think that Madame Pauw had died from poises, Dr. Gandind, who had frequently ridded her, and who in particular had seen her on November 17, signed • oertill. cote that her death was caused by a fall two or three months before the event. A poet =erten& examination was there. ten iodisperable. Dr. Tardier examined the corpse ea November 30, and reported that he could find no symptoms of say disease, or of cry lesion either old oe recent which could amount for the death. But he said that the absorb of any marked lesion, together with certain indications, and particularly the state of the digestive seat earned to him to prove that death "had been occasioned by some poisonous enhatanas The analysis of the viscera would be the only means of arriving at • posi tive conchrou on the subject." After these grave rural" of the autopsy, Dr. Goodinot, far from persisting in his fies► opinion, admitted that be had ad personally ob served any contusion or "rhymer on the person of Madame New, and that he had gives his certificate solely from what she ►ad said to him. Several other witnesses were examined ; a lady, named de Bidder, an intimate friend of the de emed, made revelations of the highest importance, which "reconfirmed by • letter written by the decreed, and which gave new force to the suspicion against La Pornmerais. A domiciliary visit made at the house of the seared on De• roar 4, led to the discovery of varietal papers, and an ex traordinary quantity of poisons of all sorts. In partioular, • bottle was touted which had centered two grammes of digitalis, but in which there remained only 1.5 centigrammes. The accused was at the same time called upon to explain himself on the subject of the grave impute aces against hint, sod his explanations were so unserdso tory that his arrest was ordered. Dee. Tardieu sad Rouser, the experts appointerby the prosecution, made • chemical analysis of the organs of the widow Pane., and also of the matter vomited by her, which was found upon the floor near the bed, and alter mealy experiments they made s report which concludes in Hier words :—" Madame Pauw died from poison." Their report is on the w►ject free from all reserve. They affirm ' in the most positive manner that the death of Madame New did not result from any affection of the heart or stomach, nor from any accident or diseue, or In fact from any natural care whatever. At the tame time they show the existence both in the matter vomited and in the organs themselves of • very powerful taxied principle, which when tried upon living animals produced upon them effects similar to those experienced by Madame Pew, rid caused them to die in like manner. AA to the substance by means of which the poisoning was aosomplished, the experts think that it must have bees digitalis, the effects of which are @Millar to those observed on Madame Pauly, and subsequently upon the animals on which the experiments were tried. The nature of this poison, which leaves no tram, does not permit them to speak on this point more positively. But notwithstanding this reserve, the fact that the do omed had died from pole= was now certain, and the nest teak of the instruction Was to ascertain how and by whom the poison wee administered. The very nature of theponou in question proves sufficiently that the death could sot have resulted from an accident; neither can it be attri buted to suicide, ► thing which many witnesses show was ROM contemplated by Madame Pauly ; it was evident that the poison must have been administered by a criminal hand. received from him some of money Equal to the amoupte =galloped in the respective poligies ; and separate dude, drawn up by an agent named Louis, repeated the ems May. Doubting afterwards whether he was sufficiently secure against all possible =aims on the part of Madame Panw's part of kin, he consulted an avoid, named Levan; without telling him that the policies were already sliced, or that they amounted to 550,000 franca, and told him that be bad het considerable sum of money to Madame Pauw amounting altogether to 100,000 francs, and that she had promised to insure her life for that amount in the Nationale, the premium of chic= be would pay, on condition that he was to receive the amount of the policy on the death of his debtor. He begged M. Lava= to prepare a deed for carry ing this sostnict into effect. M. Lamm having no reason to doubt La Pocamessii statement, drew up the deed as desired. It is plain that La Poctimeme only object in going to M. Lemma was to get the form of a deed to effect hie object. Accordingly, on August 31 be got the witliw Pauw to sign another deed, exactly in the MIN form, but analog the mount at 650,0001., instead of 100,0001., and showing, u the fart was that the insurances had already been effected, and that the eight policies were in his hands. But met when be was in pommel= of all times deeds, in which he waelmads to appear as • creditor of Madame Pauw, he did not yet think himself sufficiently secure against her relations, and he got her to sign a will in which she re. pealed that the eight policies were his property, and more over bequeathed to him all that she could by law leave, and she even went so far as to say that she gave him the in terest of the part reserved for her children, without his being called upon to give security. She was nevertheless • fond mother, and this fact prom how completely Pomm•- nis bad obtained en influence over her, and bow blindly she did whatever be required. The time now came for the accused so to act that all the pains he had taken might not be futile and unproductive, The death of Madams Panty was the only event which *odd relieve him from the payment of annual premiums quite beyond his means, and at the same time pat him in poems ot sbs 530,U00t., bleb be woo moot riser to touch. The next premium was due is the month of January. It was very material to him to avoid making the payment, sad moordingly he hastened the execution et bin guilty design. lie had long prepaid himself with the neomeary poison. As far back as the month of June, when he renewed his relations with Madame Pauw, he bought a gramme of digitalis, and a week later he bought two grammes. He perfectly well knew that this poison leaves no Mace be- hind ; but it was important for him to be able to explain in a more or INN plausible manner the vomiting which digitalis never fails to cause. With this object he re minded Madame Raw, as woe as he had got the will from her, that in order to get her policies bought up by the insurance offices upon advantageous terms it was usoramary that she should simulate an illness. ' She at once followed his counsels, and ow day in Septem bet, • window frame having fallen down with • great noise upon her staircase, she took the opportunity of saying that she had bad • violent fall ; sad after that time she com plained frequently of • pais in the stomach. She went further. With the view of preparing for the pretended ill- Dees which she was to counterfeit, she west to consult several physicians, who, without proceeding to any suffi eisetly close examination to verify her statements, gave her prescriptions which she took care sever tai follow, but handed over at once to la Puma/arse. The mouth of November cams without Madame Peaw, although she continually talked of her Hiner, and her pain in the stomach, ever cawing to busy herself with her ordieary occupations. La Posninerais then thought that the preliminary stages bad gone on long enough, and that the time had come for striking his grand blow. At his suggestion Madame Pauw procured from the office of the etril the antificate of her birth, which would be requisite to be produced to receive the amount of the policies after her death, and which could not have bias wasted for any other purpose. When he bad got togeth r all the papers be required, he told Madame Panw to keep her bed, end give out that she was wore than ever. At the same time, as she complained during 1 this voluntary sequestration that she lost the pries of some lessons she was giving to • person residing in the Greed Hotel, La Pommerais said he would make up the amount to her, and pay her the price of the lesson every day. Madame Pau, did not lea►e her room after November 12, and always wore a nightcap as if she were ill, in order the better to deceive the doctors who it was expected the companies would seed to visit her. La POOllllOllll said he would make her take something to cause agitation. Meanwhile, and before the realisation et this perfidious promise, so wall calculated to reader Madame Peuw dis posed to take unhesitatingly whatever he might choose to give her, and to prevent her from being frightened by say disagreealis symptoms.which might follow, her health was in reality excellent, and she was, moreover, extremely cheerful. The motive was thee to be sought foe. Assuredly this meld neither have been vengeance nor hatred. Madame Pauw had no enemies, neither had she any next of kin interested in her death ; the fruits of her labour constituted her only fortune, the sole resource of her three children. Of all her ammiatenee one individual alone could be a gainer by her death, and this individual was the accused, La Ponaineraia. He had known Madam* Pauw for several years ; he attended bee husband in 1868, and after his death he very soon beanie the lover of the widow. Their relations on the foot ing of lover sod mistress continued till the middle of 1861, but in the moath of August in that year M. la Pommenus married Mcrae. Dnbisy, and for more than two years after wards he never saw Mme. Plum. He even refused to go to me her °bikini' when they were ill. One day however, in the month of June last, Madame Pauw, to her great surprise, found him once more in her lodgiap, sad by way of axplaaation of his sudden return, he mid he bad bit opoo • plan for providing for her children in the future. He told her that she mutt not tell any one of the memo which he proposed, and, without entering into details, merely said that • lds insurance was the thing projected. La Pommeraia' injunctions to seamy did not prevent her froru telling several of her friends and neigh boars what the wee hoping for. "If the thing succeeds," she said, " my fortune and that of my children is made.' She repeated frovisetly that on the policies tieing bought up the was to have 3,0001. a year. All she bad to do was to make the doceoes believe that she was really ill, and to keep her bed for about a fortnight. On Friday, November 13, she mote to her friend Madame de Fodder to beg her to come the next day to spend the Groping. The toes of her letter indicated contentment and hope. "The doctors," she said, ironically, "think I am very ill. I have great hopes, according to what Its said to me yesterday, that if the thing noosed. I shall get 3,0001. a year. I will sell you all about it to•morrow." But the visits of the amused evidently referred to in the above letter became more and more frequent. He seat word to Madame Nue that he should come to peas Saturday evening with her, and as he wanted particularly to be with her alone, the rendezvous with Madame de Bidder was countermanded. No sensible change, however, yet appeared in the health of the pretended sick pompom On the Monday at 5 o'clock she dined in oompany with the two Mimes Biord and their mother. She afterwards begged a neighbour, Madame Delattre, to get a bottle of essence for her, and she made a toilette with a care and attention which showed bee to be in very good bashis. She expected a visit from Ls Polo mersis. He osme at about 8 o'clock. He stayed }with her along while, and nobody else saw her till the morning of the next day. At lialfiest 6 the widow Pigerre, wbo came as usual to bring the breed. wan surprised to And the key out. side the door, whence it was Madame Panw's Debit to take it inside. This woman went into the bedroom and found 'lndira* Panw in a terrible state. Her face betrayed great sneering ; her bed and all the flooring near it were stained by vomiting. Having thus weetablished relations with Madame Now, he proposed that she should insure her life for • sum of 550,000 f., that be would pay the mendurue, and that aka should assign the policies to him. Bat It being obvious that in this way neither Madame Pauw nor her children would get any benefit, La Pornmersa added that he could manage to get for her an almost immediate income by this arrangement. He suggested that • little while after t►e policy was 'Heated she should pretend to be seriously ill, and make the iasurame Milne be lieve that she was on the point of death ; then he would go to the company and propose to them to cancel the policy on the tense of paying her • life annuity of 6,u00f., to run from January 1, 1864. He would share this annuity with her, and in the way she would be better off than she had ever been before in her life. Ma• dame Palm had sot the courage to reject this Mange pro posal. She Mut her eyes to the dishonesty of the meat latest.

He hat too well knew, also, what was the cease el this women's death, and of that mum there cannot sow be the slightest doubt—Widow de Pauw was poisoned by La Pontmerais in the evening of November 16. The accused wee the last person who saw her that night. He admits that she wee seised with that vomiting which fiareishos to science the proof that the poison must have bees administered some momenta before.

What other motive in point of fact could have actuated him? Did Madame de Pain really owe him, sa the deed of Await 31st says, a sum of I 550,01./Ofr..? He himself was forced to admit at the opining of the instruction that this figure ma most usggeesied. He at first reduced it to 150,0001. or 100,000 f.; subsequently be tiontessed that that sum was far beyond the truth, and ultimately he said that 25,000 f. was the sum really due to him from her. But on his own coofession 1.3,0001. out of this 25,0001. were not given to Madame Puy till the God of September, and consequently lug after the conclusion of the treaties of insurance. In reality these loans or gifts amounted to but very small sums, and it was from other people for the most part that Madame Pans received the aid which her Unitised eir• oemstances rendered necessary. But be this as it may, and admitting ,for a moment the latest declarations of the ac cused, it would be for the sake of a sum of 12,0001. that he made Madame Pans effect insurances for 550,000. It wee upon his own showing to save himself the less of that small sum, that he took upon himself the bedlam of pay ing every year a premium„of 19,0001. And even this en gagement he was not in a condition to fulfil. He bad trouble eucogh to make up the money for the first pay ment, and he would very woe have found it impossible to go on paying ; and yet he knew fall well that if he dropped the policies, all the sums paid upon them would have been utterly lost. But hie intention clearly was so to act that the renewal of the premiums should never be necessary ; and on the very day whew he called to renew his acquaintance with his old mistress the crime was resolved upon in his own mind. He bad then already provided him self with a really enormous quantity of digitalis, that poison the trace of which, ea he well 'UMW, is DO difficult to find, and the effects of which resemble those produced by certain diseases of the stomach. Three grammes of digitalis were porchased by him on the llth mad 19th of Jens, and of USA oily 15 centigrammes were found in his house. What did he do with the rest? He could mothers given it to his patients, for that drug is not used in the homeopathic systempf medi cine which he practises, or, at all OM* only in TOY minute doom. He does not, moreover, give the name of any person to whom he famished digitalis. He says, indeed, that be sent some to medical brethren who live in the prorreoss, but he cannot mention the name of any one of them. The death of Madame Pauw explains but too well what beams of the missiug digitalis. To the overwhelming charges against him he replies by fletderdals. He says he never dreamt of taking the life of Madame Panw; and he insinuates that if she really did die of poison, she must have taken it herself when in • state of despair. Bat this insinuation is repo. dieted not only by all the friend' of Madame Pans, but also by the conduct of the accused himself on the 19th of November. Is it not evident that if Madame Pans had received the poison from any other hands than his ewe, he, when be found her so ill on Tuesday after leaving her quite well on Monday, would hays been anxious about bet state, and would have endeavoured to ascertain the cease? The profound study of the nature of poison which he admits himself to have made readers it impossible that he should have been ignorant of theoatare of the Bluest under which Madame Pane was suffering. The odour of the ejections which covered the bed and the floor must alone have been a revela tion to him. His inaction in presence of such aymptons. the cam which he took to say nothing to give alarm, or to cause assistance to be sent for, and with ell that his return to the house at two and at eight o'clock, would be inexplicable if we did not know that it was he himself who administered the poison to Madam* Pane, and that he came to see how it was working. This sad event so little sur prised him, and he was so impatient to touch the 550,000 francs for which be had committed the crime, that as soon as Madame Pens was dead he wrote to the eight companies to ask for the money, and then, fearing the difficulties which might arise from the Gelatines of eltikken of Madame Pause, and wishing to make it believed that he was acting in coojunction with those whose duty it was to watch over their interests, he dictated to his sister a Utter, to which he made her sign the name of an imaginary advocate of Chateauroitx, by which letter it was made to ;appear that the aromas had some to an understanding with him ea to the niftiness to be taken in the interests of the minors. The fruit of his crime was to be gathered at any cost. La Poinmerais. however, has pretended that far from Wog actuated by a feeling of cupidity, he acted through out io the interest@ of the children ; aad in support of this allegation he produces • deed, dated the 20th of last August. by which he declares that he gives up to Madame Pauw's children the besiefit of the policies assigned to him. Bat it was soon apparent that this deed was not serious. Ls Pommerais bad it in his own possession, and no duplicate was found is Madame Paue's house, so that nobody could have availed himself or it unless the accused chess to reveal its is:datum Besides, this deed is revoked by that of August 31, in which the assignment of the policies was confirmed by Madame Patty, without any reserve to favour of the children. Moreover, La Pomineraia was far from considering himself bound by the deed of August 20, for on Slavery day when he produal it, the Judge of Instruction having asked him what in hauls, was the effect of that deed upon his Whereat+, he replied unhesitatingly that he should receive the 530,0001. in the first place, and that the course he should take et terwards would depend upon his relations with the family, and upon the will made by Madame Pauw in his favour (a will by which she gave him everything, even the interest of the children's I mum). Whim he wasauested La Potoommisprodoced io his justification twenty-three letters written to Lim by ILlnie. ' Pauw, between June 16 and Nov. 16, frost which It would appear that the sort of insurance adopted by the deceased was cheese by herself after mature consideration, and in spite of objectioes made; that her object was to indemnify La Pommerais for all the money sacrifices which he bad made for her, and which had been continued slier the sig nature of the contract with the Insurance offices ; it was stated moreover in these letters that at the latter end of September she had such a violent fall cat the stain that she thought she sbosld have died on the spot, and that the person who ran to fetch a doctor did not expect to And her alive on his return, and that ever nieceJune 2o she bad been so ill that her doctor bad prescribed her digitalis in large quantities. It is may to see that most of the facts mentioned In these letters are io no respect oonfonnable to troth. For M atsui, 011 September 11, Madame Pans Smoke La Pow. musts "on her knees* for haring sant has 30,000 e. and the accused tumult admits that he never gays bee so large • sum. Moreover, the instruction has established that 'Madame Puy did set have • fall in the swath of Sephies- I I ber, and that she was is vary good health up he November 16, sod that at the time when the norameites were erboted, and ecoemsectly after Jars 21, the physician to the oar ponies ascertained that she was in parted health. Why, therefore. do her lanais speak of her sufferings ad of her taking digitalis ? The sewer to that is by this time very plaio. I Noes of these letters were written spoetatierusly by 'Madame Pans. They were all dictated by La Poinmerals with a view to their being used for his Justilleaties. Madame Palm wrote them, thinking they would be used to prove her pretended illness to the oompanise, and Man 1 them to accede to the arrangement omit/teed hawses her and La Pommels. He took them away with him as mom se they were written ; they bear no pod-mark, and not seed them has ever been crumpled in a way which a tot t m. always is when it panes through several haa‘.

Besides, while Madame Pauw always speaks in them letters as if she never saw La P° is is certain that at the daze el 12th, 14th, 16th November, which the three last letters bear, she received visits from him. Her daughter, Yell eiti, declares that be made her mother write letters in his presence. and that be took them away with Ma.
