We do not undertake to vouch for the truth of the following singular event, but give it simply as we heard it ; observing only, that the narra tor, a person of the highest respectability of character, received It from such authority, as to leave him not the slightest doubt as to the corm, t ness of the statement. —Two Frenchmen of very loose morals, having formed a strong desire to seduce a beautiful young girl, and hav ing spared no pains to accomplish their ahomin ible design ; she commu tated the whole of their proceedings to her Father Confessor. The wise counsels of the Holy Father prevailed, and the seducers were compel led to relinquish their wicked pursuit. These villains having unfortti !lately discovered by which means their schemes had been frustrated determined to have their revenge, and in c o n seque n ce a d o p te d th e f o l , lowing diabolical plan for their purpose:—lt was agreed that one of them should feign himself dying, and that the Confessor should be sent for in order to administer the extreme unction. The one was to guard the door, whilst the pretended sick man was to watch his opportunity and shoot the holy father in the midst of his prayers. The house was isolated, the hour past midnight. The good man came according to ap pointment"; and began to pour consolation into the bosom of 'the sup posed dying penitent. After more than usual exhortations, the holy father finding the sick man made no reply, drew closer to him, when to his astonishment and sorrow, he found that he had been exhorting a corpse. The alarm was no sooner given by the aid of a bell, than the other came in, and on finding what had happened, struck with the con viction that the hand of Heaven bad smitten his accomplice before the completion of his crime, fell on his knees and confessed the whole plot. The pistol was found loaded in the bed. This is stated nut only to have happened lately, but in the immediate vicinity of WWII. HORRID MURDER. BRUSSELS, MAY 10.—A crime, the details of which are shocking was investigated yesterday at the Assize Court of this JJepartment. J. M. de Walelie, aged fourteen, apprentice to a goldsmith, born and residing at Brussels, was tried for having assassinated a young girl of the same age. It appeared, that a long time previous he had enter tained a strong attachment for a young lady who went t ) school with him. She did not make any return to hi 3 affection, and he conceived an implacable hatred against her. He did conceal his dislike, but of ten threatened to kill her, and on several "ceasions endeavoured to do her an injury, by throwing stones. On the 13th of January last she was invited to a ball, given by a teacher to her pupils. Ile went in a state of intoxication, and insulted several persons, who turned him out of the room. He then returned to a cabaret (ale-house) drank again to excess, armed himself with a knife, and returned to the ball. fie there made a stab at a man who held the ridicule of the young lady who had been the object of his regard. Fortunately the blow fell on the man's bat. The company endeavoured to deprive him of the fatal in strument, but having struck one of the proprietors of the house in the eye, he made his escape. Some time after he entered the ball-room a third time, more furious than ever. He held the knife open, but clasped in his hand, in a manner that none could perceive it. He ran to the extremity of the room, and there directed his eyes in search of the victim he wished to He Imagined he saw her. He looked at her, and by one of those mis !,nies which a paroxysm of rage and madness often produces, ht., stabbed or.uthcr young lady, resembling in height, age, and dm:, the object os in 3?' 5, ' t )1: 5 1 at Lng urv - Ih ~.
