NAY we be permitted, without reproach of squeamishness, to express a modest hope that we have heard the last of Min CONSTANCE KaNT, if not of " the Road Murder," for some time to come f That interesting young person, who, at an age when most young ladies hive scarcely cut the leaves of their first novel, had transacted with her own hands a domestic drama compared with which the full-bodied fictions of the circulating library are weak as water-gruel, his achieved every sort of sensational distinction. As a juvenile murderess, as a pions communicant in a Protestant nunnery, as • martyr to a too ex acting conscience, to the indefatigable clerically of " Sisters," and to the discipline of amateur spiri tual directors ; as a penitent at Brighton and a " wax work " in Baker-street, she has lost no op portunity since her early girlhood of exciting the sympathy of a sentimental public, and qualifying herself for cheap and popular canonization, if not, as M. LAMM/TINE might Say, among " the angels of " assassination," at least among the saints of crime. And now, after refreshing Society in the season with the record of her conversion in the Brighton con vent, and of her exemplary life of prayer and spiritual exercises in that retreat from a sinful world, this engaging young person, of whom the gallows was not worthy, with the assistance of a lunacy doctor and • solicitor, comes forward in this dull time to describe in the form of a supplemental confession, and with a fine dramatic instinct and sense of the value of details, all the incidents of " The Road Murder." No doubt she paints the scene with a rather big brush, but she writes in the bye-play and the "business" and all the accessories, with the serious unction of • superior melo dramatist. Certainly a young person who can move a fine horror an skilfully should have reserved the capacities of her rare organization for that more lucrative and respectable trade in crime which cul minates in the third volume of " the moat successful " novel of the season." Instead of this, she wasted • world of startling power in a single night's ex periment of thrilling situations that might have suf ficed to make the flesh of an admiring public creep through nine hundred pages. Perhaps one of the most refined, though not the most terrible, of cruel ties even Miss Kraft has committed was to throw in this careless and sudden manner, to a public already gorged with wholesale massacres of children, this artfully mixed and sorted mess of horrors—the cot, the razor, the closet, the candle, the footpan, the nightdress—all touched with the hand of a true literary artist of the nightmare school. We are not going on any moral or other convenient pretext :o linger upon these ►trocities for the edification of our readers. All that we honestly ask is that Miss CONSTANCE Karr's spiritual or medical friends and advisers will be good enough to leave any question that may arise about the nightdress and the razor wound unsolved, and to entrust the fame of their unhappy patient to its fitting shrine in the " Chamber of Physiognomy." The public have had more than enough of the subject. Let it suffice to know that Miss KENT was no ordi nary young lady, and that even the most extra ordinary young ladies do not murder in so delibe rate and elaborate a manner their little brothers in tolerably comfortable and conventional households. Youth is sometimes said to be without pity, but its want of pity is want of thought—the pitiless ness of the kitten, not of the tiger. There is natural affection in young natures before what is called love comes to soften them by suffering and self-devotion. All astonishment at • crime, however hideous, is idle ; for who that has ever paused to sound the depths of the human heart can doubt that if there are dazzling heights to which it may ascend, there are also precipices of passion and abysses of infamy down which it may be swept by one perverted instinct the moment self-control is lost or thrown away. There is a profound meaning in these words of LEAR, " That way madness lies"—for all crime is madness, but madness to be punished, not exalted to martyrdom.

Intelligence from Neuenburg states that the sufferers by the recent accident are mostly in a fair way of recovery. The worst injury appears to have been sustained by the footman, who it is said may possibly have to submit to amputation. The coachman also is more seriously hurt than was at first supposed. It is gratifying, on the other band, to find that the statement of General Fleury having broken & leg is not confirmed. The Emperor left the day before yesterday, at 9 am., for Fontainebleau, leaving the Empress at Neuenburg for a few days, at her own request, to look after the injured ladies. The deputation from the Bernell° State Council was received by his Ma jesty immediately before his departure. The Emperor thanked through their medium the inhabitants of Neuenburg for their kind reception under such painful circumstances. It is said that the well known Swiaa, Colonel Daimler, accompanied the 'Emperor to Fontainebleau. An accident of the same distressing character as that upon the Matterhorn occurred in the Swiss Alps on Wednesday last. A Herr Hopfuer, from Dresden, attempted the asoer.t of the Ditlis at Eogelberg with a guide, when both unfortunately perished.

The duke seems to have liked this ystem as much as his heirs disapprove of it, but with the exception of oomparatively trifling deductions, the steward gabbed his cause. A Sew years ago a similar instance of the doings of a grand seigneur came to light after the death of the late Duchess of Larochefoucauld. On her husband's death, his intendant, who seems to have been 'as completely, or even more completely, master of the duke's fortune, waited on the duchess and informed her with tears in his •yes that there was a deficiency of 8,0001. in his accounts. He had gambled on the Bourse and lost this money. She not only pardoned but retained him in her service. A fresh deficit of an equal sum was acknowledged on her death ; but her heirs, whom this faithful steward had always treated with more than paternal severity, were not so forgiving as their mother had been, and the poor man, after being for twenty years one of the oracles of the Faubourg St. Germs* found himself one day in the dock, and was sentenced to ten years' impriaon meat. Re had only spent the money without knowing how to cook his accounts. The Bourse continua in the favourable disposi tion of the last few days, and everything seems to promise that by the middle of next month, when the financial world begins to return to Paris, there will be a great mush into all the speculations which for the last year have been waiting for an opening. The rise has even now attracted to Paris many of those who bad taken themselves off to the watering places, and notwithstanding the intense beet, to day's Bourse was crowded. Rente closed at 681 r. 62ic., showing a rise of 10c., and Credit Mobilier at Bfr. 20c., with a rise of 16c. BELGIUM. The Belgian papers publish accounts of a fearful hurricane which passed over the district of Libge on Wednesday last. The largest trees were blown down, and the damage done is very great.

Petersburg Gazette the number of sick in the hospitals of that city on the 22nd August was 2,764. During the course of the day 231 sick were admitted ; 194 patients left cured. The number of deaths was 69. There remain 2,732 under treatment. THE VISIT OF THE FRENCH FLEET TO PORTSMOUTH. (now OUR OWV omtanerosnrier.) PORTSMOUTH. Amon 28. The preparations in anticipation of the festivities which begin to-morrow continue with ceaseless activity, and, so far as appearances indicate, the result will be an ample compensation for the labour bestowed on them. Much remains to be done to complete the arrangements for the civic entertain ment, and it would seem to require an almost su perhuman effort to complete them by Thursday next. The decorations of the Governor's Green will be on a most extensive scale, and the moat will be made of the resources which the committee have at their command. The external decorations will include a magnificent triumphal arch at the Grand Parade entrance of the Green, and the latter will be lined with flag poles forming three aides of a squadron, and supporting what may, perhaps, be described as festoons of gas jets, the top of each pole being ornamented with a parti-coloured ban neret. In anticipation of the military display on South sea common, on Friday next, a rehearsal brigade of the troops took place to-day under the command in chief of Lieutenaut- General Sir George Buller, K.C.B. The troops include all the regiments in garrison and neigh bourhood—via., the Royal Engineers, Ist battalion of the 14th, the 52nd, 87th, the 6th brigade of gar rison artillery, the " G" battery, 9th brigade Royal Artillery, from Hilsea ; the Royal Marine Artil lery, from Fort Cumberland ; Royal Marine Light Infantry, from Forton ; 81st Regiment, from Gos port ; and a detachment of the 75th Regiment. The troops were divided into three brigades, the first commanded by Colonel Paynter, C. 8., 12th brigade Royal Artillery ; the second by Colonel Reuny, 81st Regiment ; and the third by Colonel Commandant Tate, of the Royal Marine Artillery. The evolutions performed were of the ordinary kind incidental to a review. The gunboats in the first division of the steam reserve were also brought out of harbour, and put through a series of movements by the Commander in-Chief, Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.B. These vessels will, we understand, take a part in the demonstration on Friday, and they include the Trinculo, Minstrel, Stork, Fancy, Earnest, Phea sant, Charger, Foam, Leveret, Hind, Hunter, &c. Sir Michael Seymour was on board the Fire Queen steam yacht, Staff Commander Paul. The British Channel squadron has already taken up its assigned position in the following order, be ginning at the easternmost vessel :—Edgar, Hector, Defence, Black Prince, Prince Consort, Liverpool, and Royal Sovereign. To-morrow morning, at en early hour, the Pigmy, steam-vessel, will leave Portsmouth harbour, and steam out beyond the east end of the Isle of Wight, having on board several masters in the royal navy, who will be transferred to the ships of the French squadron, for the purpose of piloting them up to their assigned positions at Spithesd. The weather has been threatening to-day, with occasional showers, and at the present time the clouds are lowering, with a south-west wind.

PARIS, MONDAY Evmmto. The Monikur, in the present dearth of political news, continues to employ its large type in the enumeration of the way in which the Emperor's ,fete was celebrated in different places. It it per- haps this want of subjects of interest which has given rise to renewed rumours that a step in the direction of the " crowning of the edifice " of the Napoleonic constitution has been decided upon. It is said that the Emperor is much gratified at the complete tranquillity which has reigned in the country during his short absence in Switzerland. Two very unmeaning speeches of MM. Magne and Baroche aro interpreted by those who always see things as they wish them to be, in a liberal sense, but impartial readers will find it dif ficult to find in them anything but flattery to she Emperor, and compliments to the Empress on her regency. The Emperor comes to Paris to morrow to receive the new Spanish Ambassador, M. Bermudez de Castro, and to receive the letters of recall of M. Mon. A special train leaves to morrow for Neufchiltel, with all the appliances cal culated to render the removal of the ladies who were injured on the 24th as easy as possible. The Empress accompanies them. The footman, whose ankle was broken, has had his foot amputated, and he also is doing well. Rooms are being prepared at the Louvre Hotel for a new Japanese Embassy, which is expected at Marseilles to-morrow. This time they are six in number, but the object of their mission is still a secret to the public. The official Pays represents them as coming to visit the arsenals, and study the questions relating to the armament and defence of forts, as well as to pur chase all that is required for the arsenal which is to be established by the Tycoon at Simenceaki. This being the officious version, we may be excused if we think another, which is also current, not altogether devoid of truth. It is said that the last embassy was pronounced a failure in Japan, and that the new one arrives with powers to make large concessions to France. _ _ . Fur some years the attention of the French go vernment has been much directed to the East, the results being the Chinese expedition and the con quest of a large territory in Cochin China. In China proper they are not idle, and it is stated that the province of Ho-nan, containing a popula tion of fourteen millions, is desirous of placing itself under French protection. Other provinces are said to have similar inclinations. In /Coo-ay choo the rebellious u.ussulmans refused to sub mit to the mardarins, but did so to a missionary delegated by the French catholic bishop, who had received powers to this effect from the Chinese governor. The cholera seems stationary at Marseilles. On the 26th there were 59 deaths, 28 from cholera. During the 34 days that the cholera has been re marked, the entire number of deaths from that cause has only been 330, an insignificant propor tion in a population of 300,000. In the commence ment nine cases in ten of those treated iu the hospitals terminated fatally, and now eight in ten are cured. The Gazette des Tribunaux gives x curious instance of the carelessness which was formerly the rule, and is now only the exception of the great nobility of France in regard to the management of their estates. One of the heirs of the last Duke of Montmorency brings an action against the steward of his father to have his accounts examined. M. Demion, the steward, who had for thirty years managed the affairs of the Duke Anne-Charles, who died about 1849, was a notary's clerk without fortune when be was appointed to the office of intendant, and when, four years after the duke's death, he was at last induced by legal proceedings to send in his accounts, he brought a claim against the estate for principal and interest, amounting Ito two millions and • half (100,0001.)
