COLUIESPOEDEVCE FBI PART.. (mom OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS. WEDNESDAY, April 28. A tragedy with more than the usual admixture of Parisian horror is just reported from the Rue St. Antoine. A workman, aged 28, residing in that quarter, had been on terms of intimacy with a young woman named Clemence, of the same neighbourhood, but in con sequence of her violent and jealous disposition bad recently broken off the connection. She several times since endeavoured to induce him to return, but finding him firm in his resolution to remain away she laid wait for him two days back with a bottle of sulphuric acid. On his coining up she dashed the whole of the corrosive liquid in Lis face and eyes. Then going home, she com mitted suicide by lighting two pans of charcoal in her room. The man was horribly burnt and disfigured, and was removed to the hospital in extreme agony. The array of horrors, indeed, is heavy again to-day. An Algerian trial has just resulted in a verdict of "extenuating circumstances" in the case of a murder of a boy by his father, without the slightest apparent provocation. The lad was found in a field with nine wounds inflicted by a knife. The father attempted to throw the odium upon some Arabs, but was convicted by the evidence of his younger son, a child of seven, who witnessed the deed. Where were the extenuating circumstances in this in stance? That a Frenchman should escape with his life after committing a crime of this nature, whilst several Arabs have been recently executed fur what may be called " ordinary murders," has not an impartial aspect. An even worse story has been revealed at the Dordogne Assize Court. A man was put on trial for the murder of a joiner with whom his wife had been on too intimate terms. The disclosures made in this case are something exceptional. It appears that the husband, Delpech, bad informed his wife before their marriage that if she became a mother by a rich man whc was paying her some not very honourable attentions, and could get a tolerably round sum of money from her lover, he would marry her. The young woman acted upon this advice, and Delpech struck a bargain with the wealthy man by which he received about £l5O to marry the girl. She, seeing her husband set such little store by all ordinary feelings of honour, thought there could be no objection to her going astray again. She accordingly contracted the intimacy with the joiner. But Delpech, though ready to sell himself for a mess of pottage, did not believe in selling himself for nothing. He shot the joiner. A pleasant evening was spent last Sunday by several people who went to enjoy the marvellous prospect from the top of the Arc de Triomphe. They got up and gazed upon the splended array of streets radiating like a star from the arch, and enjoyed themselves, no doubt, thoroughly. Unfortunately , they were locked in. It was late in the evening, and the keepers thought that everybody had gone. In vain the prisoners knocked and kicked at the door leading up to the winding staircase. After raising a din which ought, one would think, to have attracted attention, they gave up the struggle, and returning to the top of the monument, spent the night upon the stones. They would have a good view of Paris by star light ; but people may have too much nethetic enjoyment. The prisoners, however, had the satisfaction of a small revenge the next morning. The man who opened the door was horribly frightened at the sight of several ghostly spectres at the foot of the steps. ALLEGED FRAUDS IN LIFE ASSURANCE A case of disputed claim on a policy of life insurance, effected with the Prudential Assurance Company, Ludgate-hill, London, was heard at Liverpool on Tuesday, The plaintiff was a woman named Ellen Grimslia,w, of Liverpool, who claimed £46 16s. for a policy effected on her mother-in-law's life. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was really 71, though she had been represented 'as GO, The company had discovered the misstatement but had offered to pay the amount that would have been due had the age been rightly given, whieh would have amounted to £2l 12s. The case was very much involved owing to family disputes on the part of the plaintiff, which had prevented the obtaining of necessary signatures, and to the transfei of the policy from the Royal Liver Society, in which it was originally effected, to the Prudential. Mr. Harden,. in pronouncing juigment, censured both parties for the. careless manner in which the affair had beer conducted, and ordered the company to pay £24 into court, that being the sum to which the plaintiff would har.J been entitled had she kept up the original insurance. THE " 0 IFL. " The Prince and Princess of Wales will arrive at Marl borough House on May 10th. Sir Thomas Western will be the new Lord-Lieutenant of Essex. Mr. Gladstone will probably abandon that portion of the 27th Clause of the Irish Church Bill which provides that ecclesiastical residences may be banded over to the representative body on payment of twelve times the annual value of the site. It is confidently expected that before the end of the year Enfield will turn out one thousand a week of the Martini-Henry rifle complete. The first two hundredwill be hand-made, the second lot of eight hundred will be made with the first machinery, or rather machine tools or cutters, that can be got ready. Both the band-made and machine-made (interchangeable) arms will thus have a fair trial before the troops are generally supplied with the new weapon, about the superiority of which there does not appear to exist a doubt in well-informed quarters. - - - The amount of the bankruptcy fund which it is pro posed to transfer to the Chancellor of the Exchequer was, last October, £1,193,128. It consists of unclaimed divi dends, &c. The Bankruptcy Bill now before Parliament contains a provision by which all unclaimea dividends after five years shall be transferred to the Treasury. It is believed that provision will be made for the capitalisatim of retiring pensions and annuities and subject them to existing charges. The Chancellor of the Exchequer will from the Court of Bankruptcy alone receive an enormous sum, which will leave him a large margin to deal, or rather to play with,in future Budgets. • In foreign matters the Owl announces that the recent meetings of the Franco-Belgian Conference have been extremely conciliatory, and that there is hope that Spain will acknowledge the error of the Cuban authorities in seizing the American ship Mary Lowell in British waters.

MANNERS asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if it was the intention of the Government to take any steps, or propose any measures for the better security of life in the comities of Westmeath and Tipperary ? Mr. C. FORTESCUE said the noble iord had so framed his question as to lead to the inference that these agrarian outrages were confined to the two counties: mentioned. That was some consolation. The subject, lie coald assure the noble lord, had engaged the most serious attention of the Government, and there was nothing in the power of the Government they would not do to put down these outrages. The provisions of the Peace*Preservation A.c! , with respect to the possession of arms and the stationing an extra force of canstables, and charging the expenses of the same to the places in which they would be called upon to do duty, would be put into operation; but beyond that he hoped the house would not think it desirable that he should state the other steps the Government had deter mined to take—(hear, hear) —with the view of put ting down these dangerous and hateful crimes. The last but one of these outrage& he did not think could be con sidered of an agrarian character, but with respect to the last he was not able to give any further information than that he had already communicated to the house. THE FACTORY ACT. Mr. BRUCE said in answer to Mr. Muutz, that it was most desira'de that uniformity should exist with respect to the working hours, but the different arraugemeats of the various parts of the kingdom rendered that almost impossible, but the subject was engaging the most serious attention of the Government. THE NIGHT HOUSES. . Mr. BRUCE, in reply to the question as to what the Go vernment proposed with respect to the conflict of opinion that had taken place between Mr. Knox and Sir Wm. Bodkin, the assistant-jndge. The question was not so much one of law, as the amount of evidence necessary to ensure a conviction. Mr. Justice Blackburn had given an opinion which referred to the matter, and he had that afternoon received a letter front Deputy-Assistant Judge Payne, which stated that the subject would come on for consideration and decision before the Court of Quarter Sessions to-morrow, and the course he proposed was to wait until that decision had been given before they took upon themselves the duty of amending the law in order that it might be made sufficient to carry out what was the obvious intention of the Legislature.

A melancholy incident has just occurred wliTch hab thrown into deep gloom several highly respectable families in the metropolis. It appears that a lady—young and accomplished—was engaged to bi rrrirried to a young gen tl eman moving in a good positim in society. But the expected bridal has had a disastrotp. termination. The young lady in question was the daughtei, of a gentleman occupying a prominent post in connection with one of our largest railway companies. A fey: weeks ago the day for the nuptial ceremony was fixed, and great preparati ons were ma d e for a suitable ce'ebra tuoi vo of the event. Th e we ddi ng t rot s was obtained, and "all went merry as a marr i age b e ll," until, unfortunately, almost the very tim e th a t t h e b e ll in q uestion should have been rung. Immediately before the day on which the youtt, should have led his fair affianced to the altar he myste riously disappeared, and up to the present time nothing has been heard of him. All is conjecture as to the motives for his disappearance, and it is not knowr whether he is dead or alive. The expectant bride felt his loss deeply, and began rapidly to droop in health and spirits—in fact, within a few dayi grief had made such ravages upon her constitution that it was evident her life was at stake. Eminent physicians were called in, who insisted at once upon her removal to the south of France. Thither she was accordingly borne, but her malady w as beyond the scope of medicine, and she expired in the arms of her mother, literally dying of a broken heart. Her body has been • brought to England, and interred. Great sympathy felt for the parents of the deceased, whose father is wel: and popularly known by a large circle.—Echo. MR. sum-Ay-Rips s pßEcn ON THE ALABAMA TREATY. The speech of Mr. Sumner in the American Senate against the Alabatna Ti - eaty appears to have attracted somo atten' ion. The Anurican papers print it at some length !if , . Sumner big its by complaieing of the unprecedentoi haste with which the diplomatists conducted flack operations, and objects to the model on which the treaty was founded -the cl dins convention of 1853. This convention, which only concerned eltou'd not, 110 says, h ave been taken as the model of a treaty of such mo meti t , an d :is acet if p roves that the Powers of the treaty were quite lissenstble to the momentous issues at stake. M. Sumner complains that the treaty, while doing so little for the Americans, makes such ample provision for all claims on to British side that even those of Confederate bondholders are included, and their loan went up from 0 to 10 as soon as the treaty was si,;n3i. Coming to the familiar questions of the British right to reco.;nise the Colfederates as belli gerents, and the outfit anti escape of the craisers, Mr. Sum ner cites the testimony. of Ali . ..Cobden as t, the extent of the injury inflicted on AmA-Tean commerce. Mr. Cobden showed how completely American shipping had been trans ferred to English capitalists l etween the years 1858 and 1863 the tonnage in the first year amounting to 13,000 tons, in the latter to 22,00. Mr. Sumner, quoting from American official reports, then goes on to show that during the four years war the American tonnage fell more than a million tons, amounting to about 40 per cent. of the foreign coin mores. In the same time a great increase took place in the British foreign trade. Mr. Sumner charges England with the needless prolongation of the war, and loss of life and money consequent upon it. lie then proceeds to sum up the legal - points of the case, and maintains that by the common law, and the Roman law, all losses, whether individual or national, aro the first subject of claim. Eng land is three times liable by the concession of ocean belli gerency, by the organization of -hostile expeditions, and thirdly by welcome hospitality and suppies extended to the pirate ships in British ports. lie has, for his own part, hitherto avoided saying anything on " this most irritating question," but the submission of the treaty to the Senate left him no choice. The long delay in the settlement of th e question has aroused the people to a sense a the great interests involved in it. The story of the Sibyl is repeated, and England is the Roman King. Mr Sumner & dares that he does not believe that war need arise between England and America; but England has done the United States an injury difficult to measure, and has hitherto refused to acknowledge it. Such an acknowledgment would be the beginning of a just settlement, and the hest assurance of that harmony all must desire. A proposal made at the Cork Town Council on Tuesday, to invite Prince Arthur to the city during the raco week, was opposed by a small section, including the Mayor, but after a stormy debate was carried by a majority of 25 to 5. A despatch, dated Havannab, April 15, says The captured American brig Mary Lowell has been declared a legal prize by the Spanish Courts. The Acting Consul-General has sent the U.S. steamer Penobscot to Key West with despatches informing the Government of the facts. Tho steamer rajorollas wiled jgrainxitio; 11.1.0 THE TRIAL OF O'FARRELL. Mr. GLADSTONE said he did not think it would be necessary to put the country to the expense of printing the voluminous report of the evidence taken at the trial. He would lay the report itself in the library, whore it could be inspected by any hon. member. THE CONVICT PRISONS. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said it was the intention of the Government to introduce a bill to improve the condition of these prisons in Ireland. CHINA. _ _ _ Mr. OTWAY, in reply to Mr. Dilke , said lie thought that some mistake must exist with respect to the publication of a despatch of Sir R. Alcock by the British Consul at Sbaghai. The despatch of Lord Clarendon, which had been published in China, would show the opinion of the noble earl with respect to the desire for pro gress by the Government at Pekin. NATURAL I ZATION. Mr. BRUCE informed Mr. Dodds that the Government intended to introduce a bill on the subject of naturaliza tion during the present sas ion. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES ACT. Mr. M'EVOY, in reply to Mr. Newdegate, said he would fix the second reading of this bill fol. the earliest day possible. THE FF.NIAN SPEECH AT CORK. Mr. GRAVES said be thought the notice given in the early part of the evening scarcely met the gravity of the question; he therefore gave notice that on the motion for going into committee of supply, be should cull the atten tion of the house to the r, coat tvents in Ireland, and ask certain qu , stion 4.

The house then went into committee on this bill, and the drbwe was resumed upon the amend,nent math+ by Mr. Disraeli to the - zith clause, the effect of which was to strike out of the bill all the enactments relative to the payments for glebes and globe houses.
