Sir,—By the !ILA mail I had the satisfaction of report ing briefly in the Lords Cominissionere of the Admiralty the capture of the City of Can on. I will now do myself the honour of detailing ths proceedings which crowned our efforts with success. 2. The demands e ads by the British and French am iieasaders on the lOtti Dec. having been rejected by Yeh, (the Imperial High Coinuaissionei), as well aq. ,übscquert demand made by the commanders:in-chief of the allied faces (te whom the ambassadors had trans ferred the qusstme), for the peaceanle surrender of the eay, it was decided to resort to coercive measures, and as ad the intelligence we had received ascribes the num b r of troops comprising t':e garrison to amount to 30,000, and the confidence of the Imperial Commis. stoner in hi ~w n strength led us to suppose the means of defence, both to the north ward and in the interior of the city, had been grey ly iecrensed, it was decided that before our comparatively small force should act against the apparent odds in favour of the enemy, a slo e fire should be kept up on the defences of the city from the English and French ships of war, in the direction where the troops were supposed to be s•ationed. 3. I have already reported the positione o 4 the ships of war in the Oanten Oreek. At daylight on the morn ing of the 28th of Decertab,r the signal agreed upen was simultaneously hoisted at the mast heads of the Act won and Pielegethor e and a slow Ere was opened upon the south-west and south-east angles of the oil and new city walls ; along the east wall and ou the south wall oppo site the Vtoerey's residence.. To impede the progress and communication of the Imperial troops along the parapets, and to breach the walls to facilitate the entry of the allied forces, a battery of two 13-inch and two 10-inch sea-service mortars, and two 24-pounder rockets, under the d're,ctiun of neje!. Schoenberg, R.M. see, placed in position by Captain Hall, Comman des Dewels, of the Hornet, and Captain Mann, R E., on the Dutch Filly (where the French and English flags were hoisted), played on Magazine-hill, the city heights, and Gough's Fort, with the other forts to the north ward of the city outside the walls. The long-range guns of the gunboats were also at a later hour of the day pointed in the same direction. 4. Major General Van S'raubenzee had been Inds fatigaele in his search for a suitable point of debarkation, and at eleven a.m, the forces named in the margin* com menced to land inside .f Kuper's Island Passage. The 59th Regiment, Royal Artillery and Royal Sappers and Miners - first; then the French Naval Brigade, followed by the brigade of Royal Marines; and later in the day by the British Naval Brigade. From the pains taken by the officers who superintended the arrangements, Captain Hall, C. 8., Capt. Raynaud, of the Nemises and Major Clefferd, Assistant Quartertnaster.General, aided by Messrs. James J. Hill and Henry Hill, masters of the Caleutta and Hesper, the landing was effected with ease and dispa-cb. Soon after landing Lieut. Hackett, of the 59th Regiment, was surprised by a party of Chinese, who .barbarously cut off his head and made off. Two were shot, and a third was taken and hanged. 5. The . Major-General, ureter whose command I had placed the whole of he R..yal Marine Light Infantry forces, by my order of 22,1 of December, having directed Colonel Holloway, with Lieutenant-Colonels Walsh and locker's battautka of Royal Marines, to remain near the landing-place, as a reserve to protect the rear and to ;or ward supplies; each division as it formed, advanced in the direction of Lin's Fort ; the French Naval Bri gade, under my gallant colleague, Rear.Atimiral Sir Rigault de Genouilly, exciting admiration by the corn pieteness of its equipments, and by the soldier-like and efficient appearance of its officers and men. The fort was at once taken possession of by detachments of the French Wipes, and 59th Regiment, the enemy retiring as the troops advanced. Lin's Fort is a circular red tower, built of stone ; it had 12 guns in positien, but badly appointed and of small calibre. 6. As the let and 3d divisions of the Naval Brigade were advancing to the right, they joined the covering parties of the 59th Regiment, which were driving back a large body of Chinese. As these troops occupied the position assigned to the Naval liiigade, and were in• creasing in ,numbers, t , te Niger's and Hornet's detach meets, under Captain the Hon. A. A. Cochrane, C. 8., and Commander Dowell, were ordered to dislodge them, which ass gallantly executed, the Chinese taking up a fresh position babied each ridge, and finally in a joss house, or tstnple, from which they were also driven, until they reached tee main body of Chinese troops near Gouge's Fort. Capt. Cep/Ira-is, seeing the importance of this temple, put it in a state of defence. and held it till relieved by the Firet Division at same p. m. Its peseeaaion pro— tected our right from annoyance during the night. The gallant conduct of Commander Dowell, and of the officers and men generally, in the face of greatly superior numbers, has beea brought to my notice. Several casualties occurred on this service. 7. The enemy appeared in great force ms the hills to the northward of the city, and a brisk fire of cannons, &galls, and roceets, from the city walls and Gough's Fort, was kept up on our troops as they advanced ; which was, however, kept in check by the French and English howitzers which had been brought to the front, notwithstanding the unfavourable nature of the ground for artillery. 8. The army bivouacked for the night round Lin's Fort, the gruuni being admirably adapted for an en campment, being honeycombed for miles by a vast as semblage of graves—the "Criminal's Cemetery." The spaces between the mounds affording excellent shelter. The let and 3d divisions of the Naval Brigade occu pied the right, supported by Lieut.-Colonel Lemon's provisional battalion of Royal Marines ; the 2d division of the Brigade the centre; and the French and the 59th Regiment the left, An occasional fire was kept up from the walls during the night, but without much effect. 9. The head-quarter* for the night was in a Buddhist temple, to the rear of Lin's Fort. Having had an op portunity of viewing the east wall, it was decided to take it by escalade on the following morning at nine o'clock, and to ensure success, it was arranged that a brisk enfilading fire should be kept up along the east wall, from the East Gate to the North-east Gate, by the French and English gun-boats, near the French Folly, till the hour named—the fire then entirely to cease. Instructions were accordingly seneto Captain Shad well, C. 8., and Captain D'Aboville, of the Audacisuse, our respective senior naval officers, superintending the fire in the Canton Creek. 10. The whale of the allied forces being under arms at five a.m., on the 29th of December, General Vita Straubenzee ordered the field batteries to advance as soon as daylight permitted the passage of the guns over the uneven and unknown ground to break the parapet of the wall where the British division intended to escalade, and the French gnus were soon actively engaged on trio portion assigned to their division. Directions having been sent on the previous evening to Lieutenant Colonel Lemon, and the Ist and Divisions of the Naval Brigade, to advance and take possession of a large temple in front of our position, within 100 yards of the wall, they were seen in quiet occupation as the day broke, and were soon after joined by Captain Key, C. 8., with the 2d Division. This temple afforded ettielter from c t o h n e t g ie u u n ed so t t o G b 3 e ug m h a 's in F tai r n t ed 'as fro w m the ellacity from walls. the fire that 11. The scaling ladders in charge of Commanders Hamilton, Fel lowes, and Slight, and Lieutenant Viscount f Gilford, were now carried as close to the shallow ditch as prudence permitted, in which service Mr. H. Thorn's ,son, midship:uan of the Sanspareil, a most praiseworthy and zealous young officer, was mortally wounded by a spear rocket, can-ing his death on the following day. 12. At six o'clock the two battalions of the Royal Marine Brigade, under Colonel Holloway, arrived, and whilst the 21 battalion; under Lieut -Col. Hecker, was placed as a reserve at Fort Lin, the Ist battalion, with Colonel Holloway and Lieut.-Col. Walsh, were ordered by the general to support four companies of the Provi sional Battalion, which were thrown out in extended order to check the enemy, advancing from Gough's Heiehts in great force, and keeping up a heavy fire. A howitzer and a 12-pounder rocket subsequently supported the Royal Marines. 13. soon after seven o'clock Capt. Bats of the Anthem), and Captain Mann, R E , were directed to reconnoitre the wall to seltnt a fitting place fir planting our scaling ladder?. In the performance of toil important and dangerous duty, Captain Bate was wounded in the chest by a gingail ball from the parapet. Dr. C. A. Anderson, staff surgeon, at once prooeeded at great, personal risk, under a heavy fire, to his assiqance, but it was of "no avail, as this gallant and highly esteemed officer died within a few minutes after receiving his wound. By this most unfortunate calamity her Ma. jesty has lost one of the most talented and estimable officers in her service. 14. The fire from the walls having been kept in check by howitzers and the rifles of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, about half-past eight the French Brigade, headed by its gallant admiral, dashed forward with the scaling ladders. Our own ladders were at once in hand, and with a short run planted against the wall, and amidst a hearty cheer from the whole army the French and English colours were floating over the battlements of Canton. Division after division rapidly clambered up the ladders, and advanced along the wall to the north. card, taking gate after gate (which forte the principal defences of the city) in rapid succession ; the enemy, completely surprised and confounded at the impetuosity of the attack, offering but trifling opposition. Before ten o'clock the flags of the allied powers floated over the five-storied pagoda, the city heights, including two forts mounted with heavy guns, and the defences of the city as far as the North Gate, Our mode and plan ;:fl;ttack may be considered as s complete surprise, and may account for the limited lost which attended our operations. The authorities evi dently expected we should first attack Gough's Height; Troops, 800; Royal Marines , 2,100; Nav a l B r i ga d e, 1,829; French Nal* Brigade, 950--Tytal, 5,679, , - and the defences outside the city . , considering the height, of their wail a sufficient security against an sttack'by emoted°. The main body of their troops were in that quarter, and the guns ein 'the city heights, in newly constructed forts, bore in the same direction. 15. At the North Gate the enemy appeared •inclined to a aka a stand. • Captain Key,:witt one half of the 2d division, advanced-and took up a, poiition in an earth battery in an elbow of the wallinside the gate, turning the guns upon the Sailor's Fort, and the enemy's troops to the westward, The restof the division, by order of the general; passed through the North Gate, and drove the enemy Weir. The 'services of Commanders Hood and Slight, Lieut. A. - Bogle of the Sanspareil s and Lieut. Viscount Gifford of the Calcutta, Who wag severely wounded, as well a. Lieut. W.' OS Butler, of the Hornet were crinnecuous on this occasion. - • - 16.

The good conduct and exertions of the junior officers and guns' crews with the field pieces has been notified tome. 19. The 59. h Regiment, on scaling the wall, proceeded to the sotith ward, and went' as far es the centre of the south wall, where they sustained several casualities. Amongst the rest Ensign Bowen, who was mortally wounded, and died on the 10th inst. Having overcome all opposition, they returned to the South-east Gate, which they occupied and held as the earrerne left. 20. As a diversion, and with a view to carrying the South-east Gate, Capt. Hall left the river, where he had brOsn employed on important duty at 9 o'clock, with 100 marines and 600 officers and seamen, volunteers from the gin boats. Their services, however, lad been anticipated by the r Spid success that attended our force on other di rections of the city walls ; but the readiness and zeal displayed by Captain Hall and the officers and men, is not the less commendable.. 21. As large bodies of armed mon were seen passing into the city, through the West Gate, during the after noon, it led to the impression that an attack was con templated during the night, which induced Major.-Gen. Van Straubenzee to give directions to burn the houses in the vicini•a• of the North Gate. TWe duty was entrusted to Capt.-Osborne, C. 8., who, with Lieutenants Browne, Caton, and Davidson, of the Ravel Navy, and Lieut. Pritchett, ReYal Marines, executed it, under a sharp fire and with considerab.e difficulty, the houses containing little inflammable material, . 22. I have avoided making prominent mention of the services of the iniitary branob of the force, it being pecu liarly the province of my gallant colleague, Major-Gen. Van Streubenzee, who having been in every position where his onerous duties called him will be better able to de justice to the merits of the gallant officers and men under his orders. The Royal Marine Battalions having been placed under his Excellency's immediate orders, I also refrain, from the same reasons, from particularisirig the good services they performed in this important affair. The pros-him-lad battalion of Royal Marines, from her Majesty's ship*, composed an efficient feeee of 800 men. 23. It is hardly necessary for me to niention that our brave allies took a conspicuou s share in all the opera tions I have endeavoured to describe. Rear Admiral Sir Rieault de Genondly showed a noble example, which Was galantly emulated by the fine body of officers and men under his command. It is but justice to add, that the French were the first on the walls of Canton, Tee rear admiral has beuged me to mention prominently the Services of C!pitaitiee de Vaisseau Reynaud, of the Nemesis, Jules Collier, of the Capriciense, and D'Aboville of the Audacteuee, and that the whole of the brigade seeder his coinaland, performed tn& duty with zealous alacrity. 24. I am as-ured that their lordships will feel satin faction in knowing that the most cordial good feeling and perfect understanding have been maintained bet weeu my gallant colleagues and myself; the one object, the occupation of CAnton, agrveably to the instracions of our reensoLive g o ver n ments,u _hayin g been steadily kept in view; • 25. On the morning of the 30th the enemy sent in a flag of truce, begging permi ss i on t o b ury the dea4, which was granted, In the afternoon the commanders-in-chief, with their staff, accompanied by Lieut.-Colonel Weigh's, battalion of Royal Marines, Captain Key's division of the Naval Bri ga d e , Royal Artillery with two guns and Sappers and Miners, under Captain Knox, MA., a l so a strong detachment of the Naval Brigade, under Captains Jules Collier, proceeded to capture the West Gate. The guns on the parapet were loaded, an I turned on our position, but all the d-fences were abandoned, and not the slightest opposition was offered. The guns, as far as the West Gate, bearing on our lines, were spiked and thrown over the walls. The force then made the circuit of the city. 26. In the course of the day an inferior officer came in with a message, stated to be from the Tartar general, but he was informed that we could only treat with the principal authorities. 27. The capture of the city having been now corn lordships' notice the good conduc(tinoftythten plated, it becomes my pleasing to their composing the naval brigade during the whole of these opsrations. Though brought together from co many ships, at short notice, they formed a most serviceable body of 1,800 men, officers bring and men Independent of 100 Royal Marines and 600 seamen in the gun-boats, held in hand by the flag captain for any emergency. 28. My thanks ar e particularly due to Commodore the Hon. Chas y , Elliot, C. 13 and the captains of the several divisions o f the Naval Brigade.

The fire from the Dutch Foils, directed by Major Schoenberg, was very effective, many of the shells ex ploding in the midst of the government buildings en the city and Geueh's Heights. I may that the accurate fire from the Cruiser, H rust, and Fusee com pletely demolished the Viceroy's yatnun. I have much pleasure in noticing the services rendered by Captain Shad well, who had charge of the gunboats, and also of Comet:minders Dew and Cresswell, of the Nimrod and Surprise, the fire' from whose heavy guns must have materially assisted in disconcerting the enemy on the distant part of the walls. 30. I enclose a list of the casualties in the Naval Brigade, amounting to 5 killed and 34 wounded, and 17 men severely burnt by an accidental explosion of a magaz ne. Five men have since died. 31. Every necessary arrangement had been made by Jr. David Deas, C. 8., the medical inspector of the fleet, for the comfort of the sick and wounded. The Inflexible was stationed for their reception, with a staff of medical officers and two " Chinese chops," or covered junks, had been fitted up as hospitals and conveyed near the landing place. Besides these vessels, the Assistance, steam troop-ship, and Itnperador and Impe ratrice, steam transports, were also prepared, Happily they were not needed.

Coromandel , at Canton , Jan. 14. Sir,--In continuation of my latter, No. 14, of the 13th inst , I have the honour to report procoediegs at Canton subsequent to Dee. 30. 2. On the 31st parties of sappers and miners com menced their preparations for blowing up Gough's Fort and the Upper Blue Jacket Fort, outside the walls to the northward of the city, and they were destroyed on the following day, the former by the English, the other by the French. On the evening of the 31st a heavy ex plosion took place near the north-east gate. A magazine of chinete powder was being cleared out, when, by some accident, it exploded, and 17 seamen severely burned. 3. On Jan. 1 the French and English ambassadors visited Canton, under salutes, both on arrival and de parture. 4. No communications having been received from the Chinese authorities, who bad not in any way recognised our capture of the city, it was detrmined to march a body of troops through it and endeavour to effect their capture. On the sth inst., therefore, at 8 o'clock in the morning, the city was suddenly entered in three different places. A. strong division of the French brigade, headed by their g a ll ant commander-in-chief, proceeded to the west gate, and, leaving a portion in possession of that point, hastened to the residence of the Tartar general, who was captured by Capt. J. Collier. The general and myself, entering to the northward, marched down the north street towards the yamun of Pequ', the governor, who was captured by the Royal Marines under Col.Hol lo way; and as we were holding a conference with the pH sonata already in our possession, Mr. Parkes, her Ma jesty's consul, arrived with the intelligence that Commo dore the Ron. C. Elliot, with Capt. Key's division of the naval brigade, had seized Yeb, the imperial commissioner, with all the provincial records, which are now being ex amined by Mr. Wade, Chinese secretary. We directed the three captives to be taken to head-quarters, much against the inclination of Pequi and the Tartar general, who stated their willingness to treat, and that they had not been informed by Yeh of our summons for the sur render of the city. A. party of Royal Marines, under Col. Lemon, was also sent to secure the Imperial trea sury, which was effected, and 300,000 dole. in Sycee silver taken possession of ; no opposition was offered to any of these proceedings, and the troops returned to their quarters. The silver is now on board the Calcutta for custody. - C. An account by Commodore the Hon. Chas. Elliot, of the manner in which Yeh was taken, is herewith en closed, No. 1, for their lordships' perusal. 6. The streets of Canton are narrow, and the houses are mostly of one story, and with the exception of the public buildings and stone arches, are of mean appear ance. There is a great deal of open grouud inside the walls. 7. On Yeh'e arrival at bead-quarters, be was asked after the foreign p r i soners k nown t o have been in his possession. His excellency was ptirfeotly indifferent on the subject, and replied that he would show us their graves, as they had all died. He added that be had taken great trouble with their burial. It having been determined to send Yeh to the Inflexible till it should be decided how his excellency is to be disposed of, Capt. Hall conveyed him on board ; Pequi and the Tartar general remained at head-quarters. 8. On the 6th instant a conference was held by the ambassadors in the city, to determine what should be done with the captives. It was agreed that the Inflexi ble should proceed with the Imperial commissioner, and anchor off Tiger Island, and that the government of t h e city should be restored to Pequi, subjectle oti`reoctr l, ; on the conditions specified in the enclosed pape r , No. con trol , , 2 which his excellency acceded to. cpoonessuel, atsposses s ion C u aonft been manders-in-ebief of the allied forces proceeded 9.

Heal-clearters, Naval Brigade, Canton, Jan. 5, 1858. Sir,—l have tbe.honour to acquaint you how it came to-the share o f Job blue jeAtisks,„ tti*or Captain. C. - Key, C. B ,' to make the important capture of his Excel lency Yeh. and the valuable documents found with bins. Captain Key was•tiaoring down -at eight this morning, with hi.s party, to the position you bad assigned to him at the south-east corner of the parade grounct, alcenmpatniefi by me, when Mr. Consul Plukes informed us that the most important point, viz., the Yacht's College, where, by information received, Yeb was supposed to be, had not been visited. I offered to grant him an escort, which he gladly accepted, and we therefore accompanied him to the above nam-d building. We found it deserted, bur. Mr. Parkes there ascertained that Yeh had only left it on Thursday last, and he suc ceeded in picking up a guide, who pointed out on a map the position of Yeb's present abode.' From thence we proceeded to the lieutenant governor's yamun, which was already in the possession of Colonel Holloway, Royal Marines, and:Mr. Parkes having con firmed his previous information by the statement of two other men, we advanced without loss of time to the south-west corner of the city to - take possession of the lieutenant-general's yamnn, where the three guides we now had with us affirmed that Yeh then was, these men also knowing bim by sight, We pushed on as rapidly as possible, and on arriving is front of the building burst open the doors and rushed in immediately. Several pink button mandarins were first seized, but at the further end of the house, on Capt. Key bursting open a door, he perceived a stoat mandarin endeavour ing to escape, and immediately secured him, assisted by my c,xiVEain. Mr. Parkes then brought in each guide separat3ly, and on being removed each stated that the person seized was Yeh. The attention of Mr. Parkes was then turned to securing the records and official correspondence, of which a large quantity was found. In the performance of the search it was necessary to open every chest found in the building, as most of them contained papers ; and every care was taken to prevent the destruction of clothes and a vast amount of valuable property, which was repacked and left in the house. I cannot speak too highly of the good behaviour and regularity of the seamen employed with onr small party, which was contributed to by:my:aide-de-camp, Dent. A, Alston, and the officers ormaianding them, Commander Hood, and Lieutenants Ciutterbuck and Bogle. It is not for me to represent the skill and ability dis played by Mr. Parkes, further than to observe that the aucoass of the capture is due to him.--I have, &c., (Signed) CIIA.RLEi G. J. B. ELLIOT.

Alderman Sidney, NI,P., was to have presided, but in his absence Mr Fowler took the chair, there being present several in fluential gentlemen connected with the various parishes.

THE MEDITERRANEAN. . MALTA, Feb. 20.—0 n the 15th her Majesty's ship Harpy returned from Italy, where she had beep sent to laud Father Zappetti, the Jesuit priest, to whom Sir William Reid, the Governor, had re fu.cd permission to land in Malta. On the 17th her Majesty's ship Wanderer, re turned from Tripoli, having conveyed there the British Vice-Consul Reid and family. Some gentle men and ladies took advantage of her going to have a lOok at Tripoli. The Bey, Osman Pacha, was very hospitable and courteous ; asked the gentle men to dinner, took one of the ladies in his own carriage to a pie-nie, and gave two reviews, one of about 5,000 foot and 800 cavalry; the other of about 500 Bashißazouks. The dinner was a near approach to a Euro pean one, but had enough of the Etsteru cha racter to make it interesting —such as a lamb roasted whole, which was capital. There were 19 guests present, the hour was 7 p.m., and all de scriptions of wine were supplied, .of which the Turkish guests all imbibed freely, except the VOW', mander-in-chief of the trcops, a stern old Mussul man. On the re t urn o f th e P acha from-the pie-nict with the young English beauty, his cavalcade being pr 1 ceded by a stout A ra b, m oun t e d on an i mmense dr medary, th e A ra b women fanc i e d i t was a wed di g, and came out to welcome them with the Arab ma i rriage songs, but they were speedily undectived. Tle European ladies had an opportunity of seeing hilklarem and his one wife, the Bey restricting himself to one. The Turkish authorities paid a visit to the ship, and appeared much pleased with thO gun exercise, the firing of shells, and other manoeuvres. It was quite a time of feasting during the Wanderer's week stay, and the Euro peim Consuls gave dinners and entertainments. Previous to leaving, the Bey sent the young lady who had accompanied him in his carriage an Arab pony, which is cream coloured, with black mane arid legs. The scene at the gate of Tripoli was most exciting when the Bey entered driving an English lady in his c arr i age , s i nce i t was a thing ultheard of in Tripoli for the Bey to be ao free with a " Feringhee, ' and the wild Bashi-Ilazouks and Moors could only conceive that the Bey must have taken the beautiful stranger as his bride, so that as he passed through, some 200 of these Bashi- Bazouks, mounted as they were, set up a wild Moorish shout, equivalent to our hurrah, and threw their -guns high up in the air, and caught them as they descende d. This is the highest com pliment that the Turks can pay to a superior, and whenever they do it they become greatly excited. There is a peculiar and indescribable wildness in the cry they set up on such an occasion. The old Bey stroked his beard, and appeared gratified at the very idea of his subjects supposing he had obtained such a beautiful treasure for his bride. During the stay of the vessel the whole of the officers were sup plied with horses from the Pacha's stables, and he behaved in every way as a free-hearted, liberal, Turkish gent!emen. The Wanderer leaves on Mon day for Tunis, conveying there, on a diplomatic mission, the Hon. Victor Houlton, chief secretary to this Government. On the 19th, her Majesty's ship Indian arrived from Greece. 21st. Her Ma jesty's ship Urgent arrived from Alexandria. THE MURDER IN ARUNDEL-COURT. It has been ascertained that the missing foreigner, known to have been with the unfortunate deceased, spoke to several women who walk the Haymarket, on Tuesday evening ; also to Madame Leontine, who keeps the house, No. 8, Arundel-court. The latter declined his staying with her, but, it is said, spoke of the deceased as a very fine young woman, and at his request sent for her. She came imme diately. She was very well dressed, and wore a very line watch and chain (which latter turns out to be only gilt); had on a black velvet cloak, which was new, having only been purchased three or four days before, and a black moire antique dress. He appeared well pleased with the appearance of the deceased, and at 11 o'clock they went up stairs to ihe deceased's bedroom. The adjoining room is occupied by a Frenchwoman, who, being ill, could not sleep, and who heard them for full an hour talking and laughing. At one o'clock in the morn ing a Madame Virginie, lodging on the second floor of the same house, an intimate friend of the deceased, went up stairs, and, knocking at de ceased's door, asked her to come down and have some supper. It appears she accepted the invitation, leaving the foreigner in her apartment. She stayed some time with Virgiuie, and then returned to her own rosin, where the man was still waiting for her. About half-an-hour after Madame Virgiuie wont up again for a book which the deceased had promised to lend her. On knocking at the door the deceased asked, " Who's there ?" She answered, "It is only Heloise come for the book ;" upon which the door was opened, partially, just sufficient to put through the book. It was the man, undressed to his shirt, who handed the book, which is entitled " Les Notrrelles Nouvelles," by Mery. Ile, on giving • 1, 9 s aid "Le voil4, madam e ," and tl_ie de. ceased said "Bon Soir." Virginia returned to her own room and heard nothing more of them. An Englishwoman loiges on th e second floor in th e morning she e passed th e n i ght on the back w ith a man, and in cons equence of some dif ference stairs. About seven them o'clocksh heard groans, but con c l u di ng they came from the rooni t o o f ttilireemeic.k person, paid no particular atten tion About half-past 7 o'clock in the morning the ma n came down stairs, and she got up so as to allow him to descynd. As the deceased was in the habit of going into the City to a friend's house, her non-appearance in the morning was not considered strange ; but when 8 o'clock p.m. arrived, and she was still mis sing, it was suggested that they (Madame Virginia and another) should go to her room. On no answer being given to repeated knocks at the door, they pushed is open, and found the poor girl lying on her face, the bedclothes and counterpane being upon her, so that the Lack hair of her head could alone be seen.
