Thomas Paul was indicted for feloniously as saulting Charlotte Peake, with intent to murder her; and he was further indicted for feloniously breaking into and entering the dwaling house of Thomas Peake. The prisoner, it will be recollecte 1, broke into the house of the prosecutor in the Kent-road in the broad daylight, and the poor woman hearing the noise woke up in her bed, and the prisoner, having a hammer in his hand, struck her with it in the most murderous manner. The prisoner was afterwards apprehended and clearly identified by the daughter of the injured woman. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and then some further convictions were proved against him. On the prisoner being asked if he had anything to say in arrest of judgment, ho said he wished the passing of the sentence to be postponed until he had an opportunity of preparing a statement. Mr. Justice Hayes said that could not be. The jury had very properly found him guilty of a very horrible crime, and one that bad scarcely a parallel for ferocity. He found the poor woman in bed and then he struck her with such violence that it was no fault of his the woman did not die, the wonder was she survived. Then taking into consideration the convictions that had been proved for burglary, and looking at the whole of the facts of the present case, he felt it would be a wrong to society at large to allow the prisoner even a chance of resuming his career of crime, and therefore he felt it his duty to pass upon him the severest sentence in his power, and that was that he be kept in penal servitude for the term of his natural life.

FRAUDS ON THE CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS' CO3l - morning the case of Benjamin Higgs again came before the Bankruptcy Court. The bankrupt was for many years in the employ of the Central Gas Consumers' Company, and some months agc he ab sconded, after embezzling nearly £70,000. Shortly after his disappearance an application for an adjudication of bankruptcy was made on behalf of some of these creditors; and, after several adjournments, it was finally granted and olflcial assignees appointed. Since that period several formal meetings have taken place, nothing whatever having in the meantime been heard of the bankrupt. The sitting this morning was for the proof of debts. The matter was again ad journed. It is stated that Ifiggt..'s family are well pro vided for. The screw steam frigate Bristol, 31, Capt. F. W.

"The note which General Sickles presented to the Spanish Government on the question of Cuba has produced such an unfavourable impression that he is at a loss what to do next. So great was the indignation manifested by the Spaniards at what they considered a national affront, that the General requested further instructions from his own Government, and in the meantime desired to withdraw the note altogether. The Spanish Government has shewn great determination in the affair, and resolved that Cuba shall not be taken from them if they can prevent it at any cost. It is the general impression that General Sickles has exceeded his instructions hi the matter and that the American Government will not consider itself responsible for his acts, or compromised ty his interven tion. The General reckoned too much on the embarrassed position of Spain, and did not allow for the national pride he offended. He admitted in the message he communi cated to his own Government that the Spanish people were greatly offended at the course he had taken, and he seemed surprised at the excitement he had occasioned. In all probability the Americans will not seek a quarrel, but will endeavour to compromise the affair. In a little time Spain and Cuba must come to some settlement, and so long as a foreign power does not interfere in an arbitrary manner, there is no doubt the Spanish Government would agree to a separation if the proposed terms were consistent with their honour. MR. CHARLES I?EADE ON THE GREG! I BOAT RACE. The London correspondent of the New York Tribune en closes in his letter of the 28th ult. tho following remarks by Mr. Charles Reade, the novelist, on the great boat race :—" It could hardly be believed in the United States to what an extent I, an Oxford man, sympathise with you: gallant fellows. But I send you my observation.% The Harvard boat goes down a little by the head. As ribs faced the tide, coming to start, the water nearly ran ovet her.. The crew were not in high condition, generally I have long seen this with regret. But it is a point or which they were touchy, and I could not approach it without offence. Proofs : Boil en Loring's neck, blood loss lips, especially of Simmons, and a general want 91 that sprightliness that results from high condition. They were, however, hard in muscle—harder than the Oxford crew. Yet Simmons had diarrhoea en the day ,and fos forty-eight hours previously. In the race, Oxfori did not wait for them, as they sometimes de for Cambridge, but pulled all they knew fro= the first. A little above Hammersmith Bridge they were distressed, but got second wind afterwards. Their beautiful finish, as shewn in practice, disappeared in th , race, and little remained of their form but their true timo the quick advance of the arm, and the keen catch at firs' of the stroke, which have won them the day so often Harvard pulled the handsomer stroke of the two. N.B.— In practising just the reverse. The ridiculous theory a the London press is answered by this, that Harvard kepi the same form in practice and in the struggle. Oxford die not. These remarks are at your service. I think you ma 3 rely upon their accuracy. As to the dip forward of the boat, my opinion was shared to the full by a distinguished oars man, with whom I compared notes, with the craft and he: behaviour in sight.—Yours, very sincerely, CRA.IILE!

TERMINATION OF THE .JOINERS' STRIKE, Al ELY, CiiM 7 PN.—The strike of the carpenters and joiners at Elaclaurn, which commenced in June last, has now ter minated, and it is expected that the men will shortly re commence work.

We sail again to-night. Lovely weather. We have beaten the mailbeat, which left Southampton five days before us, and I have a whole squad of fellows copying my Times. One offered £lO for it, but I had refused a lot of offers before. so I am going to keep it ; ethers have placed their boats ai my Eervice for being allowed to copy." - - WHAT CAN BE DONE WITH THE, ?—The inspec tors of the Irish prisons report that 107 men and 5(35 women who were sent to gaol in Ireland last year had been pre viously in prison 21 times or more. Eight of the men and 32 of the women had been in prison more than 100 times Three of the men had been in gaol 16) times, one of the women 199 times, another 224 times, and one of these gaol birds was committed for her 267th time. These persons, chiefly committed for drunkenness or disorderly conduct, spend most of their days in prisons, supported at the public expense. Imprisonment for debt is occasionally made to eke out a living. When the Lord Lieutenant on the marriage of the Prince of Wales cleared the Dublin Marshalsea Prison of those who were supposed to be un fortunate debtors, two persons were most reluctantly turned out. A ',benevolent magistrate allowed them pensions which provided them with food; to meet other expenses they had themselves arrested in order to obtain accommodation in the Marshalsea free of charge. A. LAY CONFERENC E IN IRELAND.—The Lay Diocesan Conference for Killaloc was held on Wednesday in Nenagh, All the delegates who have been elected in the united diocese were present. The Bishop opened the meeting, and said he would take no further part in the pro ceedings, leaving it to the laity to choose representatives for the General Synod, to be held in Dublin on the 12th of October. His lordship announced that he had received a letter from Colonel Vandcleur, ALP., stating that he would contribute £5OO to any fund which might be got up for the maintenance of the Church. On the motion of Lord Dunboyne, seconded by Lord Dunally, the chair was taken by Lord Rosso. Lord Dunally expressed the opinion of the laity that in the approaching General Synod, the three orders, bishops, clergy, and laity, should sit in one house, and that tho laity should have a preponderating voice. He complained that at the last Synod in Dublin the Bishops sat in a room upstairs. Resolutions were passed defining the arrangements for voting. Delegates were then chosen, and, on the motion of Sir W. Osborne, a resolution was adopted expressing the opinion of the meeting that in the General Synod the lay representatives should be in the proportion of two to one of the clerical. KISSING THE BABY.—It was once the lot of the writer to dwell in the white tents of Camp Harrison, in Georgia—in that lower part of the State where families are always far between, and much more so in war times. For long weeks we had not seen a woman or a child. At last the railroad through the camp was repaired, and in the first train there was a lady with a wide-awake, kicking baby. Some hundreds of rough soldiers were around the cars, and Captain Story, of the 57th Infantry, was the biggest and roughest among them, if we judge of the tree by its bark. The lady, with the baby in her arms, was looking from a window, and he took off his hat and said, " Madam, I will give you five dollars if you will let me kiss that baby." One look at his bearded face told her that there was nothing bad in it and saying with a pleased laugh, "I do not charge anything for kissing my baby," it was handed over. The little one was not afraid, and the bushy whiskers, an eighth of an ell long, were just the playhouse it had been looking for. More than ono kiss did the captain get from the little red lips, and there was energy in the hug of the little arms. Then other voices said, " Pass him over hero, Cap," and before the train was ready to move, half a hun dred men had kissed the baby. It was on its best be haviour, and kicked and crowed and tugged at whiskers as only a happy baby can. It was an event of the campaign; and one giant of a mountaineer, as he strode past us with a tread like a mammoth, but with tear-dimmed eyes and quivering lips, said, "By George, it makes me feel and act like a fool; but I'vo got one just like it at hgire— iinicton's JournA, PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. WEDNItSDAT. The dreadful murder of a whole family at Pantin, near the fort of Aubervilliers, has excited the greatest conster nation and horror here, and the full particulars of the sad affair are eagerly sought after. It appears that the spot wkererthe crime was committed is near the cotton-mills of M. Cartier, and a watchman in the factory heard the screams of a child at twelve o'clock at night. About the same time the porter of a railway station heard cries, and distinguished the voice of a man. The blade of a knife has been found in the field, and at some distance the handle also. The approaches to the Morgue were crowded all yesterday, and it required the efforts of a large body of police to keep anything like order. A woman keeping a lodging-house yesterday morning identi fied the bodies at the Morgue as those of persons having called at her house on Sunday evening, on arriving in Paris by the Northern Railway. They ordered dinner and went out, promising to return ; but she did not see them again. The police authorities aro using every exertion to discover the murderers of these unfortunate persons. Public report attributes the crime to some question of in heritance. The bodies will not be exposed to view until after the inquest has taken place, but the people persist in crowd ing round the spot, and will do so most probably for some days to come. The Figaro states some curious particulars respecting a young man named Jean Kinck. A lady with five children came to his hotel on Sunday evening to in quire for him, but ho was out. He only returned on Mon day morning, stayed a few minutes, and has not sinco been seen. He is no doubt in some way or other implicated in this tragic affair. The public uneasiness and excitement is not yet allayed by any manifesto on the part of the Government. The ominous silence which has given rise, as I told you, to the wildest rumours—foremost among which is a coming coup d'etat—is maintained unbroken. If the Emperor is really anxious to form a Constitutional Government, to satisfy the ardent aspirations of the people for civil and individual freedom, and to assure them of the sincere good faith of his recent professions, why does he not act ? However retired his chamber, however reticent his attendants, he cannot certainly fail to be aware of the alarming rumours current during the last few days, he cannot be impervious to the vigour and confidence of the attacks of the Liberal press. Yet wo have no ground for anticipating that he will either convoke the Chambers, or form a fresh Ministry, both of which measures are immediately necessary if he would tranquil lise the public mind. The official papers arc nearly as reti cent as the Emperor himself. The Patric has nothing whatever to say on the general question, and restricts itself to satires upon M. Keratry, and M. Marion, the latter a deputy from Isere, who approves M. Keratry's design of invading the Chamber of Deputies on the 26th October. The Constitutionnel takes advantages of the fracas which occurred among the communists at Lausaune, to declare that while brutal intolerance exists among the irrc,con cileables, absolute liberty is to be found under the Govern ment of France. The Constitutionnel forgets that the mal contents under the present regime do not all come under the head of communists or irreconcileables. It is said that the Prince Imperial is very much disap pointed at not being permitted to accompany the Empress on her voyage to the East. Sho was inclined to consent, but the Emperor was not to be persuaded. The young Prince was so charmed with his visits to the Camp of Chalons and the Corsican expedition that he indulged in dreams of future travels. Some little excursion will be planned for his amusement, probably the trip to the Rhine before spoken of. The Congress of the Provincial Press has summed up a list of reforms which it considers desirable. Foremost comes the abrogation of Article 75, followed by the abro gation of the law of public safety. Then we have a list of communal and departmental reforms, all pointing in the direction of decentralisation. A demand for full liberty of instruction and of association makes up a programme very desirable, but not, I should imagine, very acceptable at headquarters. The duel between ➢iM. do la Ponterie and Loret took place in the isle of La Grande Gatte. M. de la Ponterie was slightly wounded in the face, and M. Loret declaring himself satisfied, the affair terminated. We hear (says the Guardia») on what we deem sufficient authority that a statement in Lord Byron's band-- writing will shortly lxr published, which will settle for ever the unhappy question which hes lately been raised in the papers relative to Lord and Lady Byron. A. Cork correspondent telegraphs that a robbery of arms has been committed in the house of a respntable far num. near Midleton. Two men, of military appearance, with their faceS blactieuca, ent.rod by nous° and went directly to a place whore two guns were kept. Without mating any observation they took the guns away. No arrest has been made. It is not a little singular That the whole of the south-west of England, as far to the east as London-bridge, Reigate, and P,rtsmouth, is in an abnormal c9mlition in an Episcopal point of view. The Bishop of Exeter is doad; the Bishop of Bath and Ricks has resigned; the Bishop Winehoster is arrangin; for his resignation at an e::rly thee; and the new Bishop of Salisbn , y is no! )et ::etually consecrated, if to thi; is add, d the Let that the Bishop of 011ieliester is half-way between eighty ar.d ninety years o:d, perhaps the Lamont-al condition of the south of England may be regarded as inc:uding SUSECX as well as Surrey.— Guardian.
