POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir W. Page Wood.) IN RE PINKERTON'S TRUSTS. BOW STREET. EXTENSIVE POST-OFFICE ROBBERY.—DanieI Wood cock, a letter carrier in the Hackney district, was placed at the bar charged with stealing a large number of letters and newspapers, the property of Her Majesty's Postmaster-General. The point of contention in this case was—whether the divine to the legatees under the testators will was abso lute, or in trust only. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor was of opinion that the di,iae was an absolute gift to the legatees and not subject to the purposes of the trust—but his Honour desired to see the original will, as objections were made to the office copy, and directed the offica at Doctors' Commons to attend this Court on Monday, and produce the will far the purpose of examination. Miss Mary Davis. 35, Grove-end-road, St. John's Wood, said—O❑ the 23d .December last I had occasion to send some money to my brother at Hackney, and I accordingly wrote a letter to him, enclosing half a sovereign, fastened in a card—a tradesman's card, but I don't recollect the name. I put the letter into the envelope produced, address to Mr. Davie, at Mr. Tid marsh's, Church-street, Hackney, and the letter was duly posted about a quarter to eight in the evening. Mrs. Elizabeth Davis, the aunt of the last witness, -aid she posted the letter at the office, Abbey-road, St. John's Wood. ROLLS' COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) GOODWIN T. FINLAYION. Master Henry John Davis, residing with Mr. Tid marsh, at Hackney, said, I never received the letter addressed to me by my sister. Harriet Williams, residing at 12, Wilson's-place, Flower and Dean-street, Spitalfields, the wife of a dock labourer, knew a Mrs. Mary Boyce. On the 24th Dec. I wrote a letter for her, and I saw her enclae 3 six oences in the letter, which she fastened with a piece of card. She put the letter into an envelope which I -Afterwards directed. The envelope produced was the one I directed ; it was as follows :—Hanhar Boyce, [Lipper Homerton, Wourkhouse." Mary Ann Boyce and Mrs. Boyce were called. The former proved the posting of this letter, and the latter the non-receipt. William Smee, a police constable, attached to the Post-office, said I took the prisoner into custody yesterday, at the General Post-office. I searched him, and amongst other things I found the ft agtnents of two letters (produced); ono of them related to money being sent. I asked the prisoner where he lodged, and he said No. 7, Whitmore-road, Hoxton. I went there And searched his apartment, and found 39 letters, a newspaper envelope of W. Dawson and Sons, news agents, Aboburch-lane, addressed " Rev. James Connell, Homerton Parsonage, N.E.," and three newspapers directed to residents in Hackney and Upper Homerton. I also found the two envelopes spoken to by the former witnesses and several other envelopes. I went to the branch office at Hackney, and opened a drawer with a key found on the prisoner, and found therei6 nine other letters and four newspapers, five of which had been delivered this morning. The dates were as far back as November and December. At the sitting of the Court this morning his Honour the Master of the Rolls delivered judgment in this cause. The point of contention arose under the construction of the will of the late Samuel Bearcroft, in the devise of his property in Farringdon-street and Portman-square to his son and two daughters. The question was what're! the nephews and nieces of the testator were entitled to the accruing shares of the testator's property on the decea.e of his son and daughters, their parents. His Honour the Master of the Rolls was of opinion that the nephews and nieces of the testator were only entitled to the original shares devised to their parents, and that they were not entitled to the accruing shares of the testator's property, that the accruing shares must be held as the residue of the testator's property after payment of the mortgages on his property. Costs to be paid out of the estate. Mr. Peacock said the circumstancas that led to the prisoner's apprehension was that the post marks on a certain letter having been erased, and the prisoner being the only person who could effect such a purpose his lodgings were searched, and upwards of 40 letters and several envelopes were discovered the majority of which were addressed to poor persons. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. been extremely limited, and little variation can be reported in values. _ _ TALLOW.--The market is rather firmer. P.Y.C., on the spot, is quoted 53s 9d, and for March delivery and for last three months, 51s 6d to 51s 9d per cwt. GREEN FRUIT.—The market is bare of oranges, con trary winds preventing arrivals, prices improved in con sequence. Two cargoes of St. Michael, sold by Keeling and Hunt, at public sale, went at an advance of 2s to 3s per package. Lemons remain without alteration. Nuts of all kinds sustain their value. The cold weather has cleared the stock of chesnuts, the consumption of which has been large. COURT OP QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco before - Lord Campbell, Mr. Justice . - Wightman, and Mr. Justice Crompton.) THE QUEEN V. FOX. In this case Mr. Pashley, Q.C., on a former day obtained a rule nisi calling upon the defendant to show cause why a quo warranto should not issue, calling upon him to show by what authority he held the office of clerk to the justices to the borough of New port, Monmouthshire. By the sth and 6th Wil li"' IV . it is enacted that no person shalt boll the office of clerk to the justices of any borough who is directly or indirectly connected with the prosecution of offenders. Mr. Prothero who is in part nership with Mr. Fox, is Clerk of the Peace for the county of Monmouth, and as such receives certain fees by virtue of his office on the prosecution of offenders. It was contended that Mr. Fox was so interested in the prosecution cf offenders as to preclude him from holding Ws office as clerk to the justices. Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. PhiEpson showed cause against tie rule contending that Mr. Fox held office during plea sire, and as the magistrates declined to remove him from his office this court had not the power to do so. If it could te shown Mr. Fox illegally received any emoluments the mode of procedure was by indictment. Mr. Paehley, Q.C., having been heard in support of ;he rule Lord Campbell, in which the other learned judges concurred, said that the court had no power to interfere and direct the discharge of the defendant from his office. It was an office held during pleasure and rested with the justice who appointed him to it to remove him. The rule was discharged with coats. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Barons Martin, Watson and Channell.) READ V. KING. Mr. Locke, M.P., moved for a rule nisi, for a new trial on the ground that the plaintiff ought to ha►e been nonsuited, that the verdict was against the weight of evidence—misdirection by the learned judge, and the admission of improper evidence. The action was tried a few days since at Guildhall, before Mr. Baron Bramwell, when the jury returned& verdict for the plaintiff, damagek , 531. The action was brought for damages sustained by a mare and carriage, owing to ferocious and mischievous dogs of the defendant, a surgeon at Eithaw, being at large. It was alleged by the plaintiff that the dogs flew at his mare as he was passing the defendant's house, causing her to plunge, kick, and run away, and sustain the injuries complained of, and damage to the vehicle. For the defendant it was contended the dogs were neither ferocious nor mischievous—one being blind and another partly blind and wholly deaf, they only followed the carriage barking and jumping as dogs generally do. Alte► hearing the arguments of the learned counsel, the Court granted the rule. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) AUSTRALIAN AUXILIARY CLIPPER COMPANY (LIMITED), TZTITION TO WIND VP. A petition to wind-up the affairs of this company was presented a few days since, and today was appointed for the consideration of the case. Mr. Quaio, who represented the company, asked for an adjournment for a month, on the ground that a corn. mittee of creditors had been called, and they were of opinion that it would be preferable that the company should be wound up out of Court. Mr. Plows, for the petitioner, said that he had no objection to the adjournment, as he knew that arrange ments were being made, and he had no doubt they would be satisfactory. Mr. Ellis, on behalf of the committee of creditors, also consented, arc' the case was adjourned till the 25th Feb. next. IN NE T. KIRKMAN. This bankrupt had carried on business in Leadenhall street as an East India merchant, and this was the meeting for the last examination. The balance-sheet shows debtor to creditor, 3,3781. ; assets --good debts, 3,9501. ; doubtful, 177/. ; property, 149/. The bank roptoy was occasioned by the difficulties of the Bombay and Calcutta merchants, through the Indian mutiny— up to that time he had been tusking a considerable profit. The bankrupt passed. IN RR BRITTANY This bankrupt was described as of Noble.street, fringe manufacture r , an d to-day came up for h i s last examina tion. Th e case was originally before the Cou rt under the Priv a e Arrangement Act, but was af terwards brought i n t o open Court. Mr. Lucas, f or the aisignesso applied for time to investigate the accounts. Mr. Po o k, f or the bankrupt,. contended that there b a d been ampl e opportunity for inquiry, and resisted the adjournment, bat his Honour adjourned the case till the 18th February. On the application of Mr. root, the allowance was continued. SHERIFFS' COURT (Before 111 r. Prendergast, Q ORNINUS ACCIDENT. main V. VOX' The plaintiff in this action is a warehouseman at Brewer's Quay, and the defendant is an omnibus pro prietor, and the acti.tn was brought to recovei compensation for injuries sustained by the plaintiff through the alleged negligence of defendant's servants. From the evidence of the plaintiff it appeared that on the 22d Nov. last he took a place on defendant's omnibus at Cornhill, and got on to the roof, but before he was seated tke driver went on although plaintiff cried out hold, and be (plaintiff) was throw n to the ground ; that he was rendered almost senseless, and it was afterwards found that two of his ribs were dislocated, and two of his fingers broken through clinging to the rails of the line, and his clothes were also torn. He now claimed 2/. 95., as the amount of the surgeon's bill and compen cation for damage done to his clothes ; but he did not claim for loss of time, as he had been paid his wages by his employers. . - Mr. Beard, from Mr. 'lndianan's, cross-examined the plaintiff, and elicited that he was insured in the Accident Asitsrance Compan'', but he denied that he ever said that he get the n um b er of d e f en d ant ' s omnibus merely to satisfy the company, nor had hr made any claim on it on account of the accident. Mr. Beard then called the plaintiff's driver and conductor, and two or three outside passengers, who, although they did not actually see the accident, had no doubt that it occurred through the plaintiff's endeavouring to get from the back to a front seat behind the driver whilst the omnibus wa! going on, as he fell near the front wheel after the omnibus had gone 70 or 30 yards. He was taken into the Pewter Plater public-house and bad some brandy , and was taken on to the Elephant and Castle where be asked for the number, and according d e f en dant's witnesses, said that th e d r i ver w as to n ot to blame. It was an accident. They also said that plaintiff's wife was inside the omnibus, and on being plaintiff, said, " Oh, Samuel, I have cau tioned you so often not to ride on the outside of a bum." Plaintiff denied this, and swore he was quite sober. After a great deal of cross-examination on either side His Honour said the case was not clear, and he was very sorry for it ; but according to the evidence, plaintiff had not made out his case. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BREAKING THE PLEDGE.—Johr! Flarney, an Irishman, was brought before Mr. Bingham by police-constable E 20, charged with drunkenness. The policeman, it appeared, on perambulating his beat, examining the houses and premises over which he has the watch and nightly guardianship, found, on turning on hie "bull's eye," so as to reflect well into the various corners, the defendant lying coiled up in an angle of the area, No. 66, Charlotte-street, Fitzroy-square, at half-past one o'clock in the morning. The con stable's first impression, on catching a glimpse of the but imperfectly discovered object below was, naturally enough, that the individual was there for some felonious purpose, and that an attempt to enter the house was really meditated, but, upon descend mg, he at once discovered that the defendent was fast asleep and dead drunk, and had, while fn a state of perfect unconsciousness mistaken the area for his bed chamber, and made his lodging there "on the cold ground " accordingly. "Don't disturb me!" he blurted out, on being well shaken hythe policeman, "let me rest and drop to sleep again. The constable by no means induced to humour him in his request, but rather philanthropically disposed, carried him off to the station, and provided him free of all cost with far more com fortable and commodious quarter'. Defendant, in reply, informed his worship that he had been a teetotaller 14 years and this wasthe first time he had broken the pledge. Mr. Bingham, upon thedefendant's promise to return to teetotalism, discharged him without a fine. THAMES. CHARGII OP WILPIIL Monnza.—Patrick Reilly, an Irish labourer, was brought up on remand before Mr. Yardley, charged with the wilful murder of David Tarbet, a private in the Soots Fusilier Guards, stationed at Windsor. The prisoner has been in ouctody since the sth inst., and has been reminded from time to time, on medical certificates, that Tarbet's skull was fractured, and that he was in a precarious condition. The soldier lied at the Military Barracks, Clewer, near Wind• sor, on Tuesday morning last. The inquest was held upon the body of the deceased on Wednesday afternoon before Mr. T. W. Martin, the coroner for the borough of New Windsor, in the county of Berko, and a verdict of wilful murder was returned against the prisoner Reilly. Inspector Garnon, of the H division, said he held in his hand a warrant from Mr. Martin, the coroner for New Windsor, for the apprehension and committal of the prisoner to Newgate for trial. The case then proceeded, and the short facts of it were these :—The deceased and a comrade named Steel were on furlough in London on the 28th of December last, and while passing Rosemary-lane, alias Royal Mint street, near the Tower, they saw two Irishwomen fight ing, surrounded by a disorderly mob. One of the women had a child in her arms. The soldiers got between the women for the purpose of separating them, and said, " don't hurt the child." Their interference was resented by many of the by-standers, and the prisoner obtained an iron hammer and struck the docessed a violent blow on the head with it. The soldier's skull was fractured, and he lingered until Tuesday last, when he expired. He was in his 22.1 year, and was a tall, well-formed man. Mr. Frederick Robinson, battalion surgeon of the Scots Fusilier Guards, stated that he had made a post- mortem examination of the body of David Tarbett. Death was causes by a fracture of the skull. A blow from a hammer might produce the fracture. Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for trial, and be also stands committed on the warrant of Mr. Martin, the coroner, on the charge of " wilful murder." MARKET NEWS.—(This Day.) About an average supply of English wheat has come to hand, this week, coastwise, viz., 2,010 quarters. Fresh up, to-day, the receipts of that grain by land carriage, were small ; consequently, the show of samples was limited. All kinds met a very dull inquiry, and inferior samples were rather lower in price than on Monday. Nearly 13,000 quarters of foreign wheat have come in this week. The trade ruled heavy in the extreme, and prices were barely supported. Barley moved off slowly, at about Monday's currency. We had a slow inquiry for malt, at late quotations. The oat trade was less active, and inferior oats were the burn lower. Beans, peas, and flour were dull, but not cheaper. ARRIVALS TUTS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

It would be too painful to reproduce the in jurious and almost degrading terms we meet with in these articles, for we should have to blush for those fellow -countrymen of ours who have accepted the sad part of vilifying their country to other na tions. It is only political animosity that can allege the Protestants in Fiance to be " hunted down by the prefects, priests, and police agents, . . . and obliged to assemble in forests like their ancestors at the time of the Drauonnades." The cause of religion has nothing to do with these de plorable accusations, and all French Pro' estants, honest and loyal citizens, reject them utterly. They know the truth. The mperor has always mani fested his sentiments of protection towards all the religions recognised by the State, and he has just solemnly alluded to them in his opening speech of the Legislative session. His Government lass never disobeyed so high and just a will ; but, as was its duty, has everywhere, and with regard to everyone, enforced the execution of the laws by which the police regulation?, with regard to differeu t forms of public worship, are determined. Thus, it has felt bound to require that authorisation should be asked for the opening of temples and formation of religious meetings ; and when the founding of schools has been proposed, it has required that the regulations of the law of March 15, 1850, should be complied with. But there are always a few men greedy of innovation who delight in noise and the ardour of contentions, and whose exaggerated zeal impresses on religious doctrines the passion of con quest. They have boldly denied the right of the States and have laid claim to absolute independence in their outward acts. When brought before the tribunals, they have been condemned, because the one had violated the other. On the other hand, wl there has been occasion, not to bring citizens back to the respect clue to our: organic laws on religion, but to decide upon the authorisations required, there has been sometimes a concession of them, sometimes a refusal. Why? Because the authorisation can only he granted from a perfect knowledge of the individual case, and because, wherever the new foundations attested rather the invasions of an excessive proselytism than a real state of calm mental conviction and sincere conver sion to another faith, a wise and enlightened go. vernment ought to wait. The duty of authoi ity is not to contribute to agitations by blindly favouring all the enterprises of religious zeal. Its duty espe cially consists in maintaining the public peace by assuring to each recognised form of worship that it shall not be attacked by any other. Every citizen is free in his belief, and may change it ; but no one can compel the State to consecrate publicly the formation of new flocks, as long as the certainty does not exist that it has to deal with things honour ably and irrevocably consummated. Such has been the rule of the government's conduct, a rule inscribed in the laws and in the good sense of the country. It has been applied with moderation and good faith. The Minister of the Interior and the Minister of Worship have themselves examined, and most attentively, all the requisitions; they have obtained repeated information, and made re peated inquiries, and have only given their deci sions with all the guarantees of an enlightened con science. As to what concerns the free primary schools, nothing more has been done than what the existing laws permit. Tnese laws created the right of opposition, and this was resorted to, when there were legiti mate reasons for believingthat tho found ing of a school in a commune was not so much a serious want felt by the new religion, as an instru ment of disturbance and aggressive propagandism against the religion of the majority of the inhabi tants. Then the departmental councils, con sisting of the most respectable inhabitants, have judged definitively, in virtue of their right, either rejecting or admitting the oppo sition offered by the administrative or judicial authorities. This is what is called an odious per secution, and this is why an equitable and loyal government has been slandered to foreign coun tries. All the wrong it is guilty of is that of keep ing to the execution of the fundamental laws, and these laws, far from admitting au unlimited liberty, irresponsible in the public performance of worship, subject it to the guardian superintendence of the State. Take away this control, and civil society will soon be delivered up to religious wars of every kind, nor will there be any respect and security for any established form of worship. His Ma jesty's government is therefore firmly resolved on exercising this control, as constituted by the laws. It is equally resolved on repressing the " at'acks and violent provocations, which the several religions make on one another, or mutually undergo in the press. The constitution wills, that each of those creeds recognised by the State shall be respected in • its dogmas and usages, because each creed, in its turn, is bound to respect the dogmas and usages of the rest. It is needful, therefore, to put au end to all passionate polemics of a nature to offend the conscience of the citizens and outrage their belief. It is by works, and not by disputes, that the spirit of faith caa act and spread in a great nation, which lives under the shelter of its laws, and suffers no aggression on the public tranquillity. But if it is useful to defend the several creeds against the evil they cause one another by censurable polemical ex cesses, it is still more useful to defend society, in its integrity, against the spirit of subversion and revolutionary impiety. This glides behind religi ous discussions, and profits by them in order to de stroy all principle of authority, by inspiring con tempt for every principle of religion. The Govern ment is armed with the necessary means for pro tecting at the same time both religion and the State, and it will use them energetically.

CRYSTAL PALACE.—ONE SHILLING DAL—THURSDAY, Jan. 28.—Admissions on payment, 8,154 ; ditto by season tickets, 373 ; total visitors, 3,527. A letter from Mentz, in the Leipsic Gazette, says : "It is stated that the report of the commission charged to estimate the damage caused by the explosion of the powder magazine will be shortly laid before the Ger manic Diet, with a demand for an indemnity. The produce of the subscriptions raised in Germany, will meet about one-third of the damage, and the purchase money paid for the ground of the old Kastrich by the Confederation will furnish another past. Lastly, it is said that the Confederation will not demand from the city of Mentz a sum of 20 000 florins which it owes towards the expenses of the Federal fortress. DEATH OF LIEUT. RAINIEE.—Lieut.

The following report has been ad'irased to the Enlreror Napoleon by Marshal Vaillant, Minister of War "Sire —The majority of the great milite.ry powers of Europe have their forces constantly united in armies or corps d'arrnee. France, on the contrary disseinioa' es her troops in territ,ritd divi sions, completely independent one of the other, and having no commo n bond except thp superior authority of the Minister of War. This organi-a tion presents the inconvenience of keeping at a distance from the troops during peace the greater number of the chiefs who are destined to exercise a superior command over them in time of war. Our system of barracks has not permitted the points of concentration of troops to be sufficiently multi - plied anywhere, except in the divisions of Paris and Lyons, to form commands of an imptrt ance equal to the dignity of a marshal of the em pir e. It therefore appears necessary to create foe the marshals positions which would give them i n time of peace over the generals commanding the territorial divisions on action similar to that which they are called on to exercise during a campaign over the general commanding the active divisions. For that object, and without modifying the present distribution of the troops in the interior of the em pire, any more than the constitution of the terri torial divisions, it appears desirable to unite the troops stationed in these divisions into several great command , , at the head of which marshals could he placed. Such a measure would have the effect not only of utilising and keeping in activity those high dignitaries of the army, but Would give to the commandants of divisions— now isolated one from the other, and for the most part distant from the centre of the govern ment —a force of cohesion which is now wanting to them. Our troops, necessarily dispersed in so many different garrisons, and unequally divided over the surface of the empire, could be rapidly united at a given moment in the hand of a single chief, and be taus prepared to preserve on all points public order and the security of the territory. Struck with these advantages, your Majesty has ordered me to study the means for carrying them into execution, and yourself have laid down the bases of this new orga nisation. The institution of extensive commands has already worked in a useful manner at different periods in France, and in order to suit existing cir cumstances it has appeared to me useful to re-esta blish it on the conditions which form the object of the decree which I have the honour to submit to your Majesty.—l am, &c., ILLA.NT. " Toe reports followed by a decree dividing the troops of the empire into five large commands, to be con fided to Marshals of France, with the title of Superior Commandant of the troops stationed in tire North, East, S tvh-east, South-v at, and West. The first command will comprise the troops in the Ist, 2d, and 3d military divisions, with the head quarters established iu Paris ; the second, those in the 4rh, sth, 6th, anel 7th divisions, with its head quarters at Nanny ; the third, those of the Stir, 9th, 10th, 17th, and 20th divisions, with the head-quarters at Lyons ; the f urth, those of the 11th, 12th, 13th, and 14th, with the head-quarters at Toulouse ; and the fifth, those of the 15th, 16th, 18th, 19th, and 21st divisions, with the head-quarters at Tours. The generals in oerrunand of the mili arir divisions will report to the Superior Commandant as to the situation, disci pline, and instruction of the troops, but they will retain their direct relations with the Minister of War on everything connected with territorial com mand. In case of disturbances, but only in that eventuality, the Superior Commandants will of their own accord order such movements and con centrations of troops as they may consider neces sary. ADULTERY AND HOMICIDE. Our Paris correspondent has already hinted at an affair which has created much sensation in that cdpital. It appears that at the beginning of this month a hairdresser of Mont de Menial' killed M. de Garidel, Councillor of the Prefecture, whom he found with his wife, and that he immediately after wards gave himself into custody. On Saturday this man was brought to trial before the Court of Assizes of the Landes. His name is Laterrade, his age 42, and his bearing on the trial was suitable and modest. The court was crowded to excess. The prisoner, who was somewhat agitated when first placed at the bar, but who soon recovered his composure, having answered the usual questions as to his name, age, and occupation, the indictment was read. This document was unusually brief and set forth these facts :—On the 3d of this month, at about eleven at night, the prisoner, who had been supping with a friend, returned home, and found his wife partly undressed seated by the fire side. She complained of a violent stomach ache, and her husband proposed to make her some gruel, but she refused, and after a while sud denly left the room, taking the candle with her. He bad noticed that she seemed agitated and had cast anxious glances towards a large arm-chair. He removed the chair, and found a ratan behind it. This man seized him by the throat, threw him down, and, kneeling on his breast, tried to strangle him. At this moment the woman returned, and cried to the man, "Do not kill him ! 0 G o d ! d o not kill him I" The man then released him , and the prisoner saw that h e was M. d e G ar i del ; where upon, taking a sword-cane with which he had en tered the room, and which he always carried, he drew the sword and plunged it into de Garidel's breast. M. de Garidel fell to the floor without saying a word, and expired. The prisoner Subse quently went to the police, related what had taken place, and gave himself into custody. " Wh4t the indictment alleges," said the prisoner, when the reading was concluded, "is exact. It does not give all the details of the scene, but I do not con tradict anything that it says." " You ought," re marked the President, "to have taken legal pro ceedings to obtain redress for the injury de Garidel did you, and not to have killed him yourself." " I do not know, sir, that I should have been suf ficiently master of myself to do what you say, but the fact is that de Garidel did not leave me time to reflect, for being much stronger than I am he threw me down, and kneeling on me grasped me by the throat with such violence that he almost suffocated me. My wife, hearing the rattle in my throat, came in, and on her entreaties be released me. I confeass that this new insult, following close on the outrage of my honour as a husband, exasperated me, and I stabbed him. I had no idea that he was serioinly wounded, neither had he him self, for he begged me to be calm, and offered me money. " Money I" I cried, indignant at such a proposition, and I struck him in the face with the cane, and broke it as you see. (Here the prisoner pointed to the cane which was lying upon the table.) It was then that, without saying a word, he fell. Not knowing why he fell, I gave him a kick, and exclaimed, " Oh, don't play a comedy here !" I then went downstairs, and not having the slightest idea that he was dead, walked to and fro before my door, expecting him to leave, but not seeing him went up-stairs, and to my sur prise, found him dead. I then gave myself into the hands ofjustice." The statement which the wife of the hairdresser made to the examining magistrate after the fatal event was then read ; she said that up to the evening in question she had not had any criminal connection with M. de Garidel, but on that evening she had consented to commence one, and that he was in her chamber with her full per mission. When her husband returned home de Garidel bad not undressed himself, but had re moved his watch, and he was seated in an armchair opposite to her. She then described what had oc curred when her husband entered, and how he had stabbed the other. She had, she said, given de Garidel a rendezvous on that evening because she knew her husband had long been jealous of her, and in consequence they used to occupy separate rooms ; but she did not believe that he had sus pected de Garidel, or that he had had the slightest intention of killing him when he returned home. The woman added :—" Before I gave the ren dezvous to d e G ar id e l , I expressed my fears that if my husband were to discover us he would kill us both. 'Oh l' answered de Gari del, never fear—l am a strong man and I would strangle him Ab, you would not do that !' said I with a smile. Well,' he answered, would not kill him, but I would give him such a squeeze th a t h e should be insensible for a time !' " Some witnesses were then examined, and the jury, after a very brief deliberation, returned a verdict of acquittal. The Court ordered the prisoner to be discharged, and as he left the dock a number of ieuds gathered round and warmly congratulated him. ST. MARTIN'S HALL.—A rather extraordinary exhibi tion took place at this hall last evening. A very young man, Mr. C. Coghlan, undertook to read, in public, a four-act tragedy of his own composition, dressed in " the costume of the period," the age of Charles the First. As a piece of writing this play calls for no particular criticism, being neither markedly good nor specially bad ; it is filled with the usual attempts at Elizabethan interjectional quaintness, while the 'sore high flown portico much resembles the worst parts of Mr. Sheridan Knowles's dramas. Mr. Coghlan's mannerwas perfectly self-sufficient, and his eloeutir e e k tolerable, but it is evident that a reading, lik e weightznslevoices, where an untried artist sustains the endtirie. characters, has to simulate male sn x, will the stage and, moreover, to interpolate becom e wearying and directions, must necessarily 0 h unhappy one, was of the The ides. thong of monotonous. worthy a happier notion. carried out with a sp irit
