CONTRARY to general expectation, the third meeting of the Conference has neither been post poned nor remained, like the previous meetings, wholly barren of result. At the yesterday's sitting of the Plenipotentiaries a temporary suspension of hostilities was agreed upon, not on the terms which are understood to have been those proposed by the neutral Powers—the evacuation of Jutland by the Germans and of Alien by the Danes— but on the basis of the uti possidetis, although, as usual throughout these negotiations, the acknow ledged principle of the agreement has been applied in a one-sided manner, to the disadvantage of the weaker belligerent. The Danes, yielding to the ad vice of the neutral Powers, which in the circum stances of the case were equivalent to commands, have reluctantly consented to raise the blockade during the suspension of hostilities, while in return for this important concession the Germsns simply engage to abstain from the course of indiscriminate plunder and ruthless exaction they have hitherto pursued in Jutland. As the whole of the exorbi tant sum demanded by the invaders has been already paid, and the people have hardly anyth in g left, this engagement amounts on thepartof the German Powers to little more than an engagement not to re duce the remaining inhabitants of this Danish pro vince to utter destitution. For the rest, the Germans during the cessation of hostilities hold their posi tions in Jutland as well as in the Duchies, while the Danes on their side retain possession of Alien. The German Powers declared themselves ready to leave Jutland if the Danes would leave Alien, but tho Danish Government preferred to let the pee session of its territory by the Germans rest simply on the basis of fact, unsanctioned by the shadow of an agreement. The suspension of hostilities arranged on these terms i., according to the present agreement, to last for a month, commencing on Thursday next, the 12th instant. It will be observed that the present arrangement is not an armistice, but merely a ces sation of hadilities, although, should the necessity arise, it is not impossible that with some modifica tions it might be converted into a more formal agreement. Meanwhile, the Conference is now free to discuss the proper business for which it is assembled—the terms of peace between the belli gerents—and it will meet again very shortly for this purpose. The suspension of hostilities, even on terms that are obviously harsh towards the weaker belli gerent, is undoubtedly on grounds of humanity matter of sincere and just congratulation. But the real difficulties of the Conference are now to I begin, and it requires no great sagacity to predict that unless the mediating Powers are prepared to act with far greater vigour, decision, and firmness than they have yet displayed—unless they are true to their office as mediators, in resolutely curbing the demands of the more powerful belligerents— there is little prospect of these difficulties being successfully overcome. Denmark has undoubtedly established a fresh claim to the good offices of the neutral Powers in temporarily giving up at their instance her position at sea—the only signal ad vantage she has hitherto gained over her powerful opponents. Attempts have, indeed, been made, not merely in the German papers, which is of course natural enough, but even in this country, to depreciate beforehand the value of the concession by representing the Danish blockade of the Prussian porta as wholly ineffective. The few foreign merchants and shipowners who, relying on the statements of the German papers, have at tempted to run the blockade, can tell a very dif ferent tale, the real fact being that every vessel attempting to enter the Prussian porta since the blockade was established has been captured by the Danish cruisers. No doubt the foreign trade of Prussia is by no means wholly dependent on her own ports ; still a considerable shipping trade has sprung up at her Baltic outlets, and this being wholly stopped by the Danish blockade is undoubtedly a serious inconvenience to Prussian commerce. No stronger proof of this could well be given than the pertinacity with which the German Powers have demanded the re moval of the blockade as the indispensable con dition of any suspension of hostilities, however temporary. Left to themselves the Danes, as we know, would not have yielded to a demand which they regard as so opposed to their rights, as well as BO injurious to their interests ; and the neutral Powers are in honour bound, therefore, to see that no unfair advantage is taken of a concession on the part of the weaker belligerent which they have virtually enforced. THE COMMITTING MAGISTRATE CONTICTED.—The following extraordinary letter appears in the Tim: of this morning :—" I am quite sore you will be reedy to correct any erroneous statement that may bays been inserted in your paper.

Accounts from Lyons state that the vines in that country are magnificent, and announce a great quantity of fruit. The vines are healthy and strong in the Tara, and they are already covered with grapes. 'though the weather ham been cold and damp in the Saone and Loire, the vines are covered with grapes. Warm weather, how. ever, is desired to bring them to maturity. Fears were entertained by the vine•growere of the department of the Ands of a return of the host experienced in the month of April last. The late warm ale, however, has restored confidence. The archer& throughout France are likewise blooming. Advioes from the Vosges state that the cherry trees, which form an immense plantation in the Val trAjol in that department, seven miles square, ware in full blossom between the 17th and 24th April, and are now bearing fruit.

The provost reed the Munoz letter, which he had noised from Mr. Elliot, M.P. for the St. Andrew's Burghs :—" My dear air,—l am quite unlit at present for attendance in parliament.

Jealousy of her dominion at sea is certainly England's weak point ; but, if Austria for the moment yields in this master to superior foros, its misuse would assume a more revolting character should England not herself now limit Denmark's naval action, and in some degree replace the purpose of the Austrian flotilla in the Baltk.

Bat the facts relative to the death of the widow Pauw called attention to those of the former event, and the result is thot a second crime is etabli•hed goblet the prisoner. The post-mortem made two years after the death failed to give the same results which it would have dope if made immediately—the lapse of time prevents the medical men stating with certainty the canoe of death. But Dr. Tardieu reports that the principal organs were in such a state of preservation u renders it difficult to suppose that death could have resulted from natural causes. It is, moreover, to ►e observed that this disease so rapidly supervening upon perfect health— • disease which was neither cholera, nor apoplexy, nor aneurism—is a most surprising thing, ►nd that the doses of morphine and digitalis exhibited by order of the pri soner were truly excessive. Thus in the case of Madame Dubin, as in that of Madame Punt, the post-mortem examination led to the discovery of no trace of lesion in the organs which could have caused death ; at the same time the inquiry shows that in both eases there was ao other symptom of illness than that of vomiting coming oa suddenly and unaccountably in the midst of perfect health. In both cases La Pommerais was present a few minutes before the vomiting took place; and in both cases it is proved that a short time previous he had purchased • considerable quantity of digitalis which has di appeared without his being able to explain what became of it. Everything shows that Madame Dubin met the same kind of death as Madame Pauw, and that the prisoner made both of them the victims of b's cupidity. The judge then proceeded to his examination, and, addressing the prisoner, told him that, so the interrogatory would be long, be might sit down whenever he pleased. " Your family," he said, " lives at Neuvilleaux-Bois, and is very much respected. We can understand the grief it must feel at the situation in which you are placed. Your father is a physician ; you have an uncle who lives at Orleans, and is a chemist. [The Prisoner—l beg your pardon, Me. Pre sident ; my uncle is a merchant.] One of your sisters is married to a chemist in Paris ; you were received as a doctor of medicine in Paris in 1854 ; you took to homompathy, and from that time you manifested the intention to get yourself talked about and showed an ardent desire to make a fortune. In 1853 you assumed the title of count, which you had no right to, and which was never borne by your fathers. [The Prisoner—l have a right to the title. I left off using it to please my father, whose modest way of life is not suited to it. But Hautetive's book shows that the title belongs to my family.] The examination was proceeding down to a late hour. The France states that the rumour which unac countably has prevailed for 48 hours in Paris of the arrival of Lords Clarendon and Granville is unfounded. The debate on the budget was resumed this after noon, greatly to the disappo;ntment of crowded tribunes, by M. Banos, one of the proprietors of the Mosittur, who made an insignificant speech on the government side. He was followed, however, by M. Vuitry, the governor of the Bank, an able man, who doubtless has made an ingenious answer to M. Thiers, but no report of what he said is yet out. M. Dimly, the Minister of Public Instruction, has commissioned Dr. Mourier to proceed to Japan on a scientific mission. It is stated that he is to send reports not only to the minister but to the Acclimatisation Society and various learned bodies. He takes with him an ample provision of !scientific instruments. Garibaldi's eldest son, Menotti, who has been for some days in Paris, leaves to-day for Caprera. At the Bourse the Rent* opened briskly on the strength of a rise of in Consols ; but the upward movement was soon checked by the announcement that the Bank of France had raised its discount from 7to 8 per cent. Ultimately Rente for account fell 5c., closing at 66fr. 50c. Mubilier rose 2fr. 50c. Great hopes of the armistice were entertained at the Bourse ; but I understand that despatches, not yet published, give unfavourable accounts of the result of the conference to-day. . 4 e'l 40 ft; i to 4 1, ~,, i 4 ARIOFr illail CASTLE, MA, 9.

A letter from Fredericia, in the National Ga:.ette of Berlin,lsays : It is rather remarkable that the troops who mrrovnded the town knew nothing of the evacuation at the time it took place. The Austrians remained for at least forty-eight hours before the place after almost all the troops hal left. General Gablens only heard of the evacuation by means of spies ; it was by them that the general heard, on the 26th that only 300 men remained in Predmicia. When the enemy entered only that number remained, who were pro tecting the workmen employed in removing the stores, and they all retired as soon as the troops advanced. ROME. A letter from Rome of the 3rd, in the UhtiOti, says : _ _ The youngest of the Princesses of Naples was confirmed on Saturday last by the Sovereign Pontiff. All the royal family, having at its head the King sad the Queen, strived very early at the Palace of the Vatican, where the ceremony took place in the private chapel of his Holiness. The Pope officiated at the mass, and addressed very touching language to the young Princes Maria before administering to her the sacrament of oonfirmation. After the ceremony an elegant collation was served to the top , lenity. Then was, however, one sad disappointment. The Pope was seized with a sadden indisposition, and was replaced at the breakfast by the Minister Secretary of State. The Holy Father was obliged to retire to his apartment, and kept his bed for the remainder of the day. Tait fresh attack caused some alarm ; but the state of his Holiness presents no gravity, and the effects of the fainting tit have now dis appeared.

PARIS, MONDAY EVENTSG. The great " oyer of poisoutug" iu the La Pom merais case was opened this morning in the Assize Court. The seats reserved for the public were filled at the first rush by holders of tickets, no others being admitted. M. de Boisaieu was the presiding judge, and the Advocate-General (Oscar de Vall6e) conducted the prosecution. M. L►chaud appeared for the prisoner. The latter is a man of small stature and youthful appearance, with dark hair and lively intelligent eyes. He wore a white cravat, and was otherwise carefully dressed. On being asked the usual prelim nary questions, he declared his name to be DaSsire Edmond Couty de la Pommerais, and said that he was 34 years old, born at Neuville-au:-Bois, department of the Loiret, and was by profession a doctor of medicine. His domicile in Paris at the time of his areest was Rue des Saints Peres, No. 5. The indictment was then read. That part of it which accuses him of the murder of Madame Pauw by poisoning ap peared (exclusively) in the Daily Netcs and in the Expres.l of May 6. The second part of the in dictment, accusing the prisoner of having also poi soned his mother-in-law, Madame Dubizy, was in the following terms : The crime of which the widow Pauw was the victim was not the first committed by La POMMORiS. Two years be fore he despatched his mother-in-law, Madame Dubizy, by similar means. It was in August, 1861, that he married ; and his marriage was not accomplished without considerable difficulty. Madame Dubizy wu mistrustful of her future somio.law, whose representations about hie fortune ap peared to her suspicious ; and it tweed out, in point of fact, that the greater part of his pretended property me i . listed of shares payable to bearer, which he had borrowed from a person named Pelordy de Neuritis. Well founded, however, as wee the suspicion of Madame Dubizy, she did not succeed in shaking the confidence of her daughter ; but she insisted that the marriage con tract should be made upon the footing of • separation of goods. La Pommerais was constrained to submit to this cooditioo, sod he consequently found himself unable to dispose of his wifo's fortune which Madame Dubizy sedulously took care of. His mother-in-law's death was necessary to relieve him of au icconvenieot surveillaeos, and to pat him in possession of the remaining fortune of Madame Dubizy. Scarcely two months had elapsed after his marriage when we fled him, on Oct. 4, buying 50 coati. grammes of digitalis at M. healer's drug shop. Almost immediately afterwards Madame Dubizy, whose health theretofore had been excellent, was suddenly taken ill while at dinner, and was seized with violent vomiting. Drs. Leboucher and Lohman' were successively called in. They prescribed various remedies but their prescriptions were not followed. Dr. Leboucher paid her only a single visit, and Dr . Loiseau, se he admit' himself, only went " to corer La Pommenus." It was La Pornmerais who scperinteoded her treatment. He says, in order to explain the vomiting, that his mother-in-law had an attack of cholera (an allegro time which )r. Loiaeiu denies), and at the same time be procured for her, from Labainvilles pharmacy, medicaments which could only have been wanted for such a malady. 10 centigrammes of digitalis and 2h centigrammes of bydrochlorate of morphine were supplied in the night of the 9th and 10th of October by order of La Pomnserais, and the following day Madame Dubisy breathed bee last. The prisoner lest no time in obtaining pommies of bee perusal property, which was worth 'newels 40,000 fr. and 50,000 fr.

This morning further correspondence was issued respecting the enlistment of British seamen at Queenstown on board the United States ship of war Keersage. Oa the Met of March, Earl Russell sent to Mr. Adams an extract from the Dublin :ming Hail, containing an account of the trial, and requests that his excellency will inform him whether he has any explanation to offer on the sub. jack. Mr. Adams, in his reply, states that as long ago as the 26th of December last, his government addressed to him iustructioea to investigate the charges, and if he found them sustained against the lionsal, Mr. Eastman, to dismiss him at once, and with respect to the commander of the vessel he, if found guilty, should be promptly relieved of his command ; "and other satisfactory amends would be offered so her Majesty's government." Mr. Adams goes on to state that the reason why he has not acted under these instructions is that he has seen no evidence to justify him in doubting the statement made to him by the officers concerned. He then goes over the facts which lead him to believe that Captain Winslow never gave any authority to enlist any one in Queenstown or elsewhere. Earl Russell, on April 9, writes two very brief letters to Mr. Adams, in one of which he says, " I have only to regret that Officers Than:doe sad Haley. who appear clearly to have violated the municipsl law of this country, which they were bound to have made themselves acquainted with, should still be re tained in the sonic* of the United Staten" In the second letter his lordship encloses extracts from the deposition of a witness, and adds, " I know not how these circurastaoces, occurring on board a ship of war, can have taken place without the knowledge of tha captain of the vessel." Mr. Adams, on April 11, examines these extracts at some length, and compares them with the state. meat of the American captain, contendiag that the latter amount is altogether the most consistent sod credible. "The others," he says, "conflict with each other and with probability so strongly, that %trust I may ha pardoned for withdrawing the little credit I have been benstofore dis posed to give them." His exaeUipecy admits, how ever, that there is el:denos of some connivance on the part of one or more of the petty-officers of the yowl. "I do not," says Mr. Ad‘ms. " regard myself as possessed of authority to direct a punmit of the investigation on this side of the Atlantic. But understand ing it from your lordship's note to be the wish of her Majesty's government that farther measures should be taken to ascertain the precise astute of the action of the sus pected parties, sad that they should be visited with a suit able penalty if found guilty. I shall do myself the honour to communicate your wish for the consideration of my govern ment. Ido not doubt that the proper authority will direct further proceedings to be had, in order to arrive at the pro. cis, truth, and to give just satisfaction to your lordship in case of the proof of any offence."

A most painful and protracted inquiry was Lcld last night before Mr. Jobe Humphreys, the coroner for the county of Middlesex, at the Roebuck tavern, Lover Tot. tenham•roed, into the circumstances attending the death of • civil engineer, named Mr. Gabriel Tregear. The first witness called was Hrs. Georgina Tregmr, who said that she resided at No. 3, Percival-place, Tottenham. She wee 17 years of age and had been married ten mouths. Deceased was her husband. His same was Gabriel Tower, he was a engineer, and he was 23 years of age. She had been sees. rated from him for two nights before hie death. He resided at their house at Bedferd.terraoe, Camber well New-road. A month since witness had cows to Tottenham for change of air, as she was unwell. He came down to his sister, Mel. Wheaton, at Home-cottage, Tottenham. on Thursday week. and wit. ness went there to him and remained with bim till Monday, when she returned to laer apartmente in Perrival.place. lie remained at his sister's ill. There was no quarrel. His sister sent her away. His Eisler said that she would hate her (witness) taken away if she did not go. She made no charge against witness then. She said that deceased would get better if witness was away from him. He was in bed ill for two days, but witness could not get to see him as her eider-in-law ordered her not to go out. in Wednesday night at • quarter to 10 o'clock, the landlady let him in ea witness had gone to bed. He came into the bedroom and shut the door. He stood for • quarter of an hour without saying one word. His laid flowers on the table, and he put there also the first letter he ever received from her. He placed several portraits on the table. His sister came into the room and wanted him to leave. He ordered her out, saying he wished to speak to witness. The sister stood with her husband outside the door. De. ceased looked very strange, and witness asked his sister to come in again. He again ordered her out, nod she left, saying, "If anything happens to him you shall be given into custody." He then walked round to the opposite aide of the bed. He pointed to the dowers which he had brought, and said that he had plucked them at Hampstead that day, at the house where he had first met her. He pointed to his hat, on which there was a new black hat-band, and asked her, " Do you know what that means!" She said that she did not. He said that be had seen her papa that day. (Her papa bad died before they were married, and he was aware of that.) He said he had waited lotig before he saw him, and that then he told him (demand) "to go end see her." He said her papa told him he wee married again. Witness did not molten' that he said anything else. She was terrified, and went to all Mrs. Wheaton, who was outside. He said, "I will blow out my brains." Witness ran to the door and called "Sarah," but she beard an explosion sod saw him fallen to the bad. She found he had shot himself through the he►d. Dr. E. May said that he was called to deemed on Wednes. day night about a quarter to 11 o'clock, and found him in. esosible on the bed, and his sister trying to atop the flow of blood from hie bead with bighead. A bullet bad entered 4 the right temple, and the bone at the opposite side woe broken, and crackled under the touch of the finger. He died in an hour, acid of course witness could know nothing of the state of his mind at the time he shot himself. Mrs. Sarah Wheaton, Home-cottage, Northumberland. perk, said that • month ago Mr. Tregear had sent his wife to Tottenham, not so much on account of ill-health se on at. count of • slander affecting her character in her former abode. On Thursday week he came down to witness is • frantic state, having just discovered an improper intimacy between his wife and Mr. Cowen, the secretary and bandmaster of the London Irish Volunteers, and which had subsisted for five months. He insisted as seeing her, and said he would be calm if witness would fetch her. Wither did so, and left them alone for • short time. Witness returned, when he accused his wife, and she ad mitted her guilt in witness's preemie.. He seemed almost insensible with grief, is witness thought, but she afterwards learned he had taken poison. At 7in the morning of the next day his wife called wither and said he had taken poison. Dr. Hall wassailed in, and obliged him to sake an antidote, and the poison was expelled. Hs remained till Saturday, when he said he would go up to town on business with his wife. Witness knew of no business that could take him to town, but as hie wife was with him she imagined no danger. He returned at night. On Sunday he was so ill that witness, as • precast• lion gave him an emetic disguised in a cap of tee. It acted, and be rallied. In the evening Mr. Elwell, a friend, called, sod in the absence of Mrs. Tregear, deceased told him that while in town on Saturday his wife had goes with him to several chemists' shops in Loudon, and he par. chased poison, and she allowed him to take it in the eight. Witness then had her taken over to her lodgings, feel. jog that it via not gale to have her near him any longer. Witness told her the reason, and desired her not to leave the house. She said, " I have also taken poison and Gabriel knows it," Witness said. "I do not wish to speak before the servant of these things," but she said, " I do not care whether the servants know about that man (Mr. Cowei)or not" Oa Wednesday moduli( Mr. Tregear seemed mere rational and said he would go to lewd= to see a solicitor sad get an immediate divorce. At night witness found lee had retuned and was at him wife's lodgings. Witness went there and saw hiss. His countenance looked so that he appeared as if going to have a fit of dyin g :MT- Dees. While outside the wife's door witness heard the click of a pistol, and rushing in heard the explosion, and saw the pistol fall from the deceased's hand as he fell bleed ing on the bed. Witness believed that this domestic grief bad made him perfectly imps. He had not exactly for• gives her. bat he was so food of her that he said to her, "I will die, Georgina, in your sight." She treated him with the greatest pride and callousness. They had agreed to take poison together, bat she had evidently so intention of doi so. The Coroner rid that it would have been truly diabolical if the wife had accompanied her husband up to London to purchase poison under an agreement to take it with him when she had no intention that it should be fatal to more than one. Mrs. Tregear, recalled, said that Mrs. Wheaton had not told the truth in every particular. Wines, took the poison as @send upon with her husband, and she was ill as well as he on the Sunday. Mrs. Wheaton gave them both the same tea and out of the same cup, and fed wanes with it as she lay in bed. Witness would admit her husband was jealous of her—he was very jealous alwaya. Mr. Wheaton produced the following letter, written by deceased, and signed by Mrs. Trogear and himself, io which they stated that they would kill themselves together. It ran as follows :—" Fellow countrymen, we have draz e z this statement that you might know why we have to die together, and the villainy that drove us to do it. We wen married on the 6th of July last. and we met for the first time only • year ago. We slept together for the first three months, and nothing disturbed oar happiness. Then we took the house in Bedford-terrace, and as we hid only • very small income to lacrosse our means we let rooms. On of thole l odg er. was Mr. Cowes, bandmaster and seen tary to the I.nos Irish Valuation. In February I re ceived • Tannin, iutimatleg that my wife bad an adul terous intercourse with Mr. Cowes. I gave Mr. Cowen notice, and he removed to Mr. Rod's house next door, giving out as his reason for putting up so near that he did it to show his contempt for the a/Ander in questioa. I noticed that after this my wife's health faded. and four months ago I sent her down to lodg ings in • highly respectable place, three minutes' walk from my ester's, at Home Cottage, Tottenham. I received • letter from my inter, saying that she had discovered • letter written is slang terms to my wife, and she said I ought to put • stop to any much cland estine correspondence. I anspeeted Cowen, and I called at Mr. Rod's, but Cowen wall not to. I said to Rod I had got the letter, but Rod repe -1 &and the imputation on Cowen, and said that he suspected some one, that it was the same person that sent the Triestine. and that he would pledge his honour that Cowen , was of the man be suspected, whose name be could not give. He said Cowen always spoke of my wife with respect and esteem, and es a father would of a daughter. But ou Thursday I received a letter, stopped by my orders at the post-office, addressed to my wife at Tottenham, cantin g i m 4 to her not leave her letters about, as she was watch and one of them was fond. The letter was only • "A Wellwisher but as Mr. Rod was the only one that I had ment ioned the affair to I knew at once that the caution came from Rod's house. I had se interview with my wife, and she admitted the intrigue. She was my adored idol. I had cagy seen her first 12 months ago, and I could not survive the blow. I had for her an undying love. She implored pardon, and I forgave her. took laudanum. She called my sister,' and I was forced to take ea amine. Let me say that my wife was only six mouths past sixties years of age when we married, and she was then pure as • baba. Now I call on you, fellow-oountrymen, to root out from society the man who infamously prostituted her to his lust. He is 43 years of age, and is married, but is not living with his wife. He committed • rape on my wife's penes, and then by threat, compelled her to keep the dreadful secret, and so made her subservient to him, and by Arlan frightened her into secrecy. Her health was dragged down by the slate of her mind. All you that have daughters, sister,, or wives polish this wretch. I cannot wish for life. We can not live, and, two young and shattered heart. we dedicate ourselves to death. He has letters which she wrote to him, but they were written to him because he made her do so by frightening her with the secret. My love was so great that I never would spare any expense for my wife. I cannot now bear that she snald be made as exhibition of to punish that man. I hope you will all pnaish that diabolical wretch who has crushed two young hearts is the spring of their life "Groacnia Ttgout " GAIIRILL TIZCZAIL" Mr. Wheaton said that all the statement, in the Utter k s;sii6 and be ThiA M .
