Fos the last ten days the people of France have been absorbed in watching a remarkable trial at Toulouse. Even in this country the devotees of sensation may have their passions legitimately ex cited by the story of a real murder, the perpe trators of which are still a mystery, and a murder accompanied by circumstances of startling atrocity. In the department of the Ariege, under the northern slopes of the Pyrenees, there is a village called La Butide-Besplas. This village lies in the beautiful valley of the Arize, and a short way further down the stream stands an old straggling chateau, known as the Chateau Barnard, con sisting of a court surrounded by buildings. Here lived an old bachelor 74 years of age, M. BUGAD DE LASALLE, with three servants, JEAN LACANEL, the coachman, PILAGIE BIrCHEIRE, the maid, and RAYMONDE BERGEN, the cook. bL Da LASALLE had a considerable fortune ; indeed, his income is said to have been from 12,000 to 15,000 franca a year. But he took no care to invest it judi ciously. Like many old gentlemen he was both timid and a miser, so that he preferred hoarding his money even to investing it in the funds. Naturally public rumour exaggerated his wealth, so that the chateau came to be known as the Maison d'Or, whilst the unhappy possessor, aware of the danger to which he exposed himself by his singular con duct, seldom went out, and had always about him all sorts of weapons to defend his treasure. Almost every Thursday he went to visit his mister, at Carbonne ; but he always returned at seven in the evening, and insisted that his horses should not be watered until after the lapse of two hours. On the morning of Friday, the 26th of February, an old servant observed as he left for his work that the shutters of the windows were still closed. When he returned, about nine, be found things in the same state. Feeling alarmed, he spoke to his wife, and then went into the court-yard. He called Piu.saiz, the maid. Finding no one in the kitchen, be went into the stable, where he found several pools of blood, and in a dark corner a dead body, which he at first took for that of his master. He gave the alarm, further assistance came, and a horrible scene presented itself. The body of the maid, Pszrote, was found on the ground floor. In a wood-shed close by lay the corpse of Jr.sw Lscsiszt, where it seemed to have been dragged from the stable, whither he had probably gone to water his horses. On the first floor, where the two servants slept, was found the body of the old miser, M. Ds LASALLE; at the foot of the bed, and behind the bed, half enveloped in the curtains, was RAYMOND/ Hanoi; her head nearly severed from her body. It seemed that the assassin must have got upon the bed, for the sheets showed the marks of muddy boots. The room in which these two bodies were found was in great disorder. The furniture was scattered on the floor, and the cupboard and drawers had been broken open. But it appeared that M. DE LASALLE Mg have been first attacked in his own room, for there was blood upon the door of his own room, which com municated with that in which his body was found. All the bodies were horribly muti lated. That a cruel murder had been committed there was no doubt. The old gentle man had no enemies, but the character of the man, who was believed to have in the house some 50,000 f., and the fact that the drawers were broken open, proved that the crime must have been prompted by avarice alone. It turned out, indeed, that a very considerable sum of money was concealed in various cupboards of the house. These places of safe custody the robbers did not discover, but the state of the house dearly showed the ob ject of their visit. I gest that it had been done by several per That there was a bloody struggle *swot be doubted, and yet the prosecution entirely failed to prove that any blood was found upon the clothes of either of the alleged One of the few serious facts alleged egainat Jscouas Leroux was that he had 1,700 francs in his possession when be wu caught ; but it was established that Lsroua bad been a hardworking man, that in a few years he had been the actual possessor of as much as 3,000 francs, and it was fairly contended that he might still be in posses sion of part of this money. There was, however, another fact upon which great stress was laid. Upon the bed of one of the victims were found a broken comb and a pencil, which some of his prison companions declared that they had seen in his possession. But, on the other hand, it was alleged that it was not easy to identify such articles, and that they were just the sort of shabby things which would belong to a miser like M. DI LABALLE. Perhaps the chief point in favour of both the men accused is the difficulty of explaining how they got so far from the some of the murder the morning after it was perpetrated. LATOUR must have started from La Bastide at 11 o'clock on the night of the 25th, and according to the evidence he was at Mauran, more than 30 miles, on the morning of the 26th. Arnotry must have travelled, with a donkey and cart, some 40 miles after the murder, which was perpetrated about 10 on the night of the 25th ; for he was at Foix about 8 o'clock on the morning of the 26th. It must be admitted that there never was a case which rested so completely on circumstan tial evidence, or one in which a man was con demned to death on less substantial grounds. It is, perhaps, not surprising that the Paocuannu- GastrmAi. should have found himself compelled to urge upon the jury the propriety of their convict ing LATOUR in this fashion. " I have finished," exclaimed the PROCUREUR, " my sketch of this " monster. When I have him before my eyes " accompanied by his co:lige of crimes he " oppresses me. It is time that he should dump " pear in the abyss. . . . You have nothing "to do with what the law may command. We " hope that your firmness will rise to the level of " your duties. I invite you to be firm. Yester " day you were the servants of the law, to-day " you are its dispensers. This law obligee you to " defend society in exchange for the oath which " you have taken. The strong character of the " inhabitants of your country is well known." To complete the picture, when the Paocromust sat down, JACQUE3 LATOUR cried out, ironically, " Viva l'Empereur !" The PROCUREUR got his verdict, however, and the result is that LATOUR has been condemned to death, whilst his supposed accomplice has been sentenced to hard labour for life. ebt Coun.

The Prince and Prineees of Saxe Coburg will prolong their visit to the Queen until the return of the court to Windsor. The Queen, on arrival at the station, was accompanied by the Duke and Duchess of Saxe Coburg. Her Majesty appeared in excellent health and spirits. It was the general remark that the Duke of Saxe Coburg bore a great resemblance to his late brother the Priam Consort. The streets from the Castle ptes to the station were unusually crowded with spectators to wittier the departure of her Majesty and the illustrious party. (cv ILICTRIC AND DITIMNATIONAL TZLIGILAPS.)

It was not long before suspicion fell upon a man named Foam.. He was said to have been seen in the neighbourhood before the murder, and he had been in the habit of making inquiries as to M. DE LASALLE'S wealth, besides which it was known that he had established an intimacy with the maid, PELAGIE. According to the indictment, the passion for intrigue peculiar to Frenlh servant-maids, and a womanly weakness for ardent spirits, bad made her an easy prey to the avaricious designs of her paramour. Still the evidence against the man was very meagre ; and it is supposed that he might have escaped had he not been arrested at Tou louse for wounding and robbery. It was then discovered nut only that he was the same man who had been wandering about BaiHard, but that he was an escaped convict—that he had already been in prison for nine years, and that his photograph was in every considerable police-station in Francs. These circumstances were sufficient in the eyes of the French police to justify Pt:„Toes arrest (whose real name was now discovered to be JacQuss LArora) for the murder of M. DE LASALLE ; but it is somewhat singular that, according to the evi dence, he continued to remain in the neighbour. hood where the crime was perpetrated, and even proposed to purchase a farm and marry the daughter of his host. If the facts had rested here it is difficult to understand how any jury could have brought in • verdict of guilty against even Pu.roL, much less against the supposed accomplice, FRANCOIS At' DOI Y, a mountebank, nicknamed HERCULES. !Co one saw the crime perpetrated, and the fact of four persons being murdered would mug- The ex Queen of the French, accompanied by the Duke azd Duchess of Moutpansier and other members of the Orleans royal family, arrived at Tunbridge Wells yes terday evening from Claremont.

The Con federate commandant refused, stating that he had requisite forces as well as provisions for sir months, and would hold out to the last extremity. Despatches from Mobile of the 11th to the Rich mond Examiner announced that a battle between the fort and the Federal fleet had been in progress for three days. Later despatches (from the Richmond Sentinel) state that on the 15th the Federals crossed the Dog I River bar and opened fire for three hours upon the other land batteries and the Confederate gunboats, doing no damage. Firing in the direction of Fort Morgan still continued. Secretary Stanton annonnoes that despatches from Sherman report no further operations.

A correspondent of the New York Herald, under am. of Point of Rocsio, Virginia, August 14, writes as follows : "For some time pest Major-General Biala has been conning over • Wheat aheme wherewith to annoy the enemy and advance the Union interest in this region materially. His plan contemplated nothing Ism than the construction of a canal at what hos been hitherto known as Dutch Gap, hereafter to be known as Butler's Gap, in the direct face of the enemy, which, when done, should smug other remits, by reason of its situation compel the rebels to extend their line of defence • distance of four miles, that is to say, the distance saved to us by the digging of the canal—which is to be one forty yarda in length—is seven miles of water-wane in the James River. Some four days since the proper details of men and officers were made for this important and hazardous work, and these men were eneourageitto its performance by extra inducement.. The work proceeded handsomely for three days, daring the last of which the enemy discovered our operations, and made instant preparation to open fire, which the result will show to have been an advan tageous one for them, though the commander, Major Ludlow nobly and sumenfolly held his position, still holds it, and will continue to hold it, until his appointed work is accomplished. At 5 o'clock yesterday morning two rebel rams, believed to be the Virginia and the Richmond, appeared at Dutch Gap I. the James River. The James, at this point, forms • promontory which is very narrow at its apex. The shape of this promontory is in the form of a long tongue and verging to the northward and west. ward, 'makes another turn which forms a point similar to the first, east by north. Hence the river bends yet again, and forms a third angle remniog north west. Under cover of this angle, completely and literally sheltered from our gunboats by the two rebel rams, their petition was such as, taken in connexion with the Howlett house Battery of the enemy, to subject our forces to a severs enfilading fire, which was borne throughout the day with manly fortitude by our men. It was me of our advantages of the day to inaugurate and keep up a croerfire, which we made to bear moat heavily upon the enemy, our artillery having excellent range of their batteries, including the famous Howlett-house Battery, from which work our fire dismounted and disabled • gun early in the day, !Sealy silencing the battery, as well as the enemy's batteries Amsted is the bottoms. The Union monitors and gunboats, ae before stated, lay wholly quiet in their posi tions at Crow's Nest, in the James, not participating in the action of the morning by reason of the peculiarity of the enemy's position. " The successful construction of the canal, of which there o•a be no doubt, will, it is alleged, enable our gunboats to wholly overcome the formidable obstructiou in the James River, and possibly ultimately be the MINN of their engaging Fort Darling and other rebel strongly-fortified places adjacent to Richmond, sod perhaps before the sad moss, operate largely in the reduction of the rebel capital itself. These are glowing anticipations, but nevertheless they are capable of realisation by patient mid indulgent waiting for. Any one of these results added to the necessity imposed upon the enemy of lengthening his line of defense • distance of four miles, requiring several thou sands of men to man this prolongation of their lines, will certainly be regarded as *deflate ooro palmation for the time, labour and men bestowed upon the arcomplielunent of the andertakieg. In every view the substantial results of the day remained to us at r nightfall. There can be no manner of doubt that we ad ministered • severe lesson to the foe, and punished him stoutly for his temerity in killed and wounded. The work upon the canal will go on to completion, sad we shall neat upon all its contemplated advantages, though we shall not probably realise them fully without further dispute of a similar character to that we have encountered to-day." 143810 NS POR SEPTEMBER. (From Le Foikt.) With the approach of autumn we notice a decided tendency among ladies to adopt striking colours. Red bp an especial favourite, and predominates in all articles of dram, being worn in toilettes, petticoats, Testes, for the em broidery on stockings, and for the trimming oa hats. One of the latest novelties is • pasta without sleeves. The dress-sleeve pares through the arm-boles, round which is placed either • trimming of lace, • paasementerie with bead triage, er, what is more generally worn, • long Llama fringe. We were much placed with a very charming burnous called "k fills de desert," made in a new material, which, although stout, is still light, in two shades, lilac and white, with like tassels falling over • border of white for, and lined with silk. For the asa-side, where the erasing' are often cool, this burnous is very well adapted. A coat made of white velvet cloth with black stitching and pockets, is both stylish and comfortable. In lace, the burnous in Yak, and the Llama point, or Chantilly rotoode, are most in favour ; but for full toilette • *stet in white poult de sot. trimmed with • flounce of Brussels point abont 7 inches wide, with a crimped fringe falling aver it, and brandeboargs of thick silk loops, fastened by hang* buttons of Magma Elver down the front, is decidedly the most elegant.

The Pays makes some observations in a kindly strain upon the opening in London of a subscrip tion for the sufferers at Limoges :—"Nothing could indicate better the sympathy which exists between the two peoples." A portion of the French press endeavours to-day —but without success—to unravel the mysterious engagements supposed to have been contracted be tween the two principal powers in Germany. At- tempts are also made to clear up the policy of the secondary states. The atrocity of the crime committed at Labas tide, the want of evidence against the prisoners, and the mystery which still shrouds the affair, in spite of the decision of the jury, must be my excuse for again alluding to the matter. There can be little doubt but Jacques Latour has been condemned to death on his previous character ; the only valid piece of evidence against him was the comb, and at the time it was sworn that he was in the habit of using it be had received what in England is called the county crop, and had neither hair nor beard. if he be guilty he adopted very strong language in calling on Audouy to obtain a lesser punishment by betraying his accomplices ; when condemned to death he reiterated this invitation. Audouy, when he heard his sentence, sobbed loudly, and on enter ing the police van was heard by the gendarme to mutter, "Et lea mitres !" This exclamation has been much commented upon. A letter just received from Foix goes so far as to say that the jury were hardly retired five minutes when a gen darme arrived with a folded note, and shortly after came another gendarme accompanied by a man in a blouse. The report was instantly spread that this man had come forward to state that Audony had acknowledged to one of his relations that he had killed two of the victims at Labastide. You will no doubt find it curious that the jury should have found iu the case of Andony a verdict very common in this country—guilty with extenuating circumstances. What the jury probably meant was that there was doubt as to his culpability, for even if the Hercules had been dragged into the crime by the more astute Latour, that would hardly form an extenuating circumstance for the murder of an entire household. When told by the President that three days would be allowed him to appeal to the Court of Canation, Latour told the oour t to have the gibbet set up. TALK OF PEACE NEGOTIATIONS IN AMERICA. With reference to the proposed negotiations, the Riehnwnd Sentinel declares itself " willing and anxious to make peace," and says : " Those who find fault with this paper tread in the pm. cies footsteps and follow precisely the example of Lincobe. They would have peeve (at least, they say so), but only on condition that before entering into the negotiations they be allowed to prescribe all the terma They end Lincoln each know that there can be peace on such conditions. They know that freedom of discussion is essential to peace negotiations to bringing about peace. But their whole sole object appeals to be to trammel the administration— so to trammel it that it will be utterly impossible in any contingency, or on any terms whatever to open or anent to peace negotiations. It is impossible to conceive that they are actuated but by a single motive, and that they wish to embarrass the administration and to bring it into disrepute, wholly realise of the consequence resulting to the country. It matters not bow long the war shall continue, provided they can glut their hatreds and see their predictions of evil fulfilled." The Richmond Examiner recommenda an " armistice" ea the followieg *sedition' : "Let there be not only an ' armistice,' but • formal re. armistice of all right and pretence to coerce those States, and, of course, an entire withdrawal of all land and sea forces which occupy any portion of our soil or blockade any of our porta, and then the northern States will for the first time be in a position to propose to us reconstruction of the Union or • convention of states for the purpose of nego tiating that. It may safely be premised that such proposals ' would then be at least considered. At present one cannot say what would be the result of that consideration ; but, in short, let onr Northern brethren try us. With each • change ie the existing relations no doebt there may come also a I great change over men's minds." The New York Herald is urging upon the Administra tion the advantages which would follow to the national cause from the experiment of a peace commission to Rich mond, with authority to enter into arrangements with the rebel leaders for an armistice of six months, and • con vention of representative@ from all States in the interval to consult together upon the ways and means of pekoe. The Washington correspondent of the New York World gives currency to • rumour that President Lincoln has under consideration the propriety of proposing an ermines with the enemy as • political manmuvre. The Patterson (New Jersey) Guardia,' of the 12th asserts the following : "This morning a very large and most influential delega tion of republicaos left New York for Washington for the purpose of adrisiog Old Abe to declare an armistice for six months, and meantime to call a convention of all the States, on porno's to discuss and agree upon terms of peace. Those gentlemen are not such as have been recognised as peace men ; but they have come to the conclusion that the coun try generally are sick of the war, no matter from what muse, whether it be the manner in which It has been con ducted or the object now declared to be in mew.' At the Salford intermediate someone, held yester day, the chairman, referring to the calendar, said there were 70 prisoners, of whom 31 could neither read nor write. Only three of the whole wore well educated, sod Una, said the chairman, was " • most lamentable state of things," He " was afraid that we should bare to come to a compul sory eystem, to make the people who could afford it give an education to their children suited to their condition in Ida" At the adjourned annual licensing sessions of Liverpool, yesterday, the magistrates adopted what is called for distinction the "open" within. There were 221 ep plicatioes, and is each aim the lionise was granted where the applicant was of good character, rented suitable pre mimes, and had not previously held • license. It waa re marked during the discussion that the bench should not allow " publicans to hold monopolies over other tradm men," and this observation seems to have ruled the decision of the roagistmtes. It was rumoured at Liverpool yesterday that a clerk in one of the principal stock and sharebroking offices in town had absconded with several hundred pounds, and that he had been found drowned in the river. Our eorrespooded made inquiries in the various quarters where reliable information could be obtained, but doer tained nothing to substantiate the rumour.

On the motion of the Ciimatimt • resolution for con. ftiniation was pared unaaimonaly. Another eximordiaary meeting was then held for the purpose of giving the directors power to Mclean the capital of the company. The CHATIMAN laid, as was mentioned at the last meet ing, the object of amending clause 7 was to obtain power to raise additional capital. Some time ago one of his colleagues enomeded in founding satisfactory branches at Smyrna and Constantinople. He then wrote home saying that it was de sirable to allot shares to friends of the Molt in Turkey, to the extent of 10,000. It was intended to time 20,000 shares in two series of 10,000 each ; 10,000 of them were for Turkey, and it wee hoped that the list would be beaded by the Sultan himself. He oencluded by p • tkatthempital should be increased from 1,000,0001. to 2,000,0001., by imutog, in two Willi of 10,000 each, 20,000 new shares in the company of 501. each, the first series to be timed forthwith to applicants for the same within the limits of the Ottoman empire, end the mooed seriee as soon after the timing of the first series as the directors in their judgment should think proper , such new shares to be in all respects con. sidered as ordinary shares of the company.

The Cntramarr said that the directors had nothing to add to what wu stated in the report, and be therefore moved its adoption. In reply to gentian, The CHLUMAZI added that the directors had no doubt of the safety of the 7 par cent. guaranteed. The amount guaranteed was 130,0001., but the expenditure on rolling stock consequent on the great traffic had increased the cut of the line to 240,0001. Da ri ng the construction the gua rantee was payable, and hitherto it had been paid out <f capital. He had no doubt that the traffic would cover the 7 per chat., and considerably more. The SiecurrAay explained that beyond the 1.10.000'. guaranteed, there were 60,000 deferred preference glare.. and 30,000 ordinary shares, which pee a margin far beyond the 150,0001. ; so that there would be no difficulty in cover iag the entire amount of the expenditure. After some disunion, the report was adopted, and the proceedings terminated is thorned manner. WEATIIIIR EXPORT.-(THIS DAY.) rummy, Agony so, I A.Z. L 7.1 W. Halm o.ll*, LW.
