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 Cl6rnence, of the same neighbourhood, but in con sequence of her violent and jealous disposition had 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 coming up she dashed the whole of the corrosive liquid in his 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 astrayngain. 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. Ile 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 spleeded 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 Licked at the door leading up to the winding staircase. After laising, 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 hy star light ; but people may have too much msthetie en.,oynicnt. The prisoners, however, had the satisfaction of a small reven;e tLe next morning. the nian who opened the door was horribly frightened at the sight of several ghostly spectres at the foot of the steps. 21LLEGED Fll.-1171)8 I.N . LIFE ASSUR..I2CCE A case or disputed c:aim on a, po i .iey of life insurance, effected with the Prudential A 83u nth ce Com4any, Ludgate .hill, London, wash,ard at Liverpool on Tuesday, The plaintiff was a woman namA Ellen Grimshaw, of Liverpool, who claimed JAG ICa. for a policy effected on her motherdn-law's life. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased was really 71, though she had been represented as CO. The compau had discoverAl the misstatement but had offered to pay the amount that would have been due had the ago been rightly given, which 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 ataining of necessary signatures, and to the transferi of the policy from the Royal Liver Society, in which it. was originally effected, to th3l'rudential. Mr. Harden; in pronouncing judgment, 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 hay.; been entitled had she kept up the original insurance. PAINFUL .R.0.31A -NCR A Inelancho:y Incident has just occurred which has thrown into deep gloom several highly resp - eetable , families in the metropolis. It appears that a lady—y,,ung and accomplished—was engaged to 1: married to a young gentleman moving in a good po s itioi in society. But the eLpreted bridal has had a disastrous termination. The young lady in question was the daughtei of a gentleman occupying a prominent post in connection with cne of our largest railway companies. A fey: weeks ago the day for the nuptial ceremony was fixed, and great preparations were made for a suitable ceebr. - 1,- tion of th.! event. The wedding trousecou was obtained, and "all went merry as a marriage bell," until, unfortunately, almost the very time that the bell in question should have been rung. Immediately before the day on which the youth 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 known whether he is eead 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 physician; were called in, who insisted at once upon her removal to the south of France. Thither she was accordingly borne, but her malady was 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 is felt for the parents of the deceased, whose father is well and popularly known by a large circle.—Echo. SUMWER'S SPEECH ON THE AL.113.1,11 - .1 Th'EA TY. Tho speech of Mr. Sumner in the American Senate against the Alabama Treaty appears to have attracted some attention. The American papers print it at some length Mr. Sumner begins by complaining of the unprecedented haste with which the diplomatists conducted their operations, and objects to the model on which the treaty was founded --the clArns convention of 1853. This convention, which only concerned indivi du.ds, should not, ho says, have been taken as the model of a treaty of such moment, and is colecti• - n proves that the Powers of the treaty were quite ft.sonall.l., to the momentous issues at stake. Mt. Sumner complains that the treaty, while doing so little for the Americans, makes such ample provision for all claims on tke 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.arall Gaming to the familiar questions of the British right to recognise the Confederates as-belli gerents, end the outfit and escape of the cruisers, Mr. Sum ner cites the testimony of ftlr. Cobden as to the extent of the injury inflicted on American com:r.erce. Mr. Cobden showed how completely American shipping had been trans fcrred toEnglish capitalists I otween the Tltrs 1838 and 1863 the tennage in the airs' year amounting to 13,CJ0 tons, in the latter to 252,001. 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 cont. of the foreign com merce. In the same time a great increase took place in the British foreign trade. Mr. Sumner ch ar g es En & land with the needless prolongation of the war, and loss of life and money consequent upon it. Ho 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, are 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 supplies extended to the pirate ships in British ports. Ho has, for his own part, hitherto avoided saying anything on "this most irritating question," but the submission of the treaty to the Senate kit lire no choice. The long delay in the settlement of the question hes aroused the people to a sent° of the great interests involved in it. The story of the Sibyl is repented, and England is the Roman King. Mr Sumner declares that he does not lelieve 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 seLlement, and the best assuranco 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 race 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 Havaunab, 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. The steamer Fajorops sailed f9r, XuoTitas; with a detachroeut of artillery TII " OWL." 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 2, - (11 Clause of the Irish Church Bill which provides that ecclesiastical residences may be handed over to the representative body on •payment of twelve times tie 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 hundred will be band-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 hand-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, 5'1,193,128. 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 capitalisation 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 OW announces that the recent meetings of the Franco-Belgian Conference have been extremely conciliatory, and that there is hops that Spain will acknowledge the error of the Cuban authorities in seizing the Ainerican ship Mary Lowell in British waters.

Wednesday must have been a happy day for Miss Burdett Coutts. Columbia market, which has sprung into being under that lady's munificent hand, has been thrown open to the public, and is one of the most useful of all her works of benevolence thus brought to a successful issue. llethnal Green is not a pleasant suburb of London, and ;Is inhabitants, with few exceptions, appear to suffer from a chronic state of squalor. Wednesday afternoon, how ever —as well might be the case, seeing that the remedy for much of the evil existing in the district has been supplied—the whole neighbourhood was ems "rte. The site of the new market, which will insure to the listrict a constant supply of fresh meat, vegetables, milk, aid flowers, consists of a couple of acres of ground to the act of the Hackney-road, and in close proximity to Shore ditch Church. The buildings comprising the market form a quadrangular group in the early geometrical style of architecture. Rising high above the rest of the structure s the market hall, stretching before which is a large open yard surrounded by iron railings. The approach to this ,tall is by a lafty flight of steps and through an arched loorway. Over the latter are two colossal figures of angels ‘Jith extended wings, and scrolls in their bands :ascribed with scriptural mottoes. The size of the ball is 104 feet by 50, with an altitude of 50 feet. In the centre quadrangle is a clock tower, 115 feet high. Near the summit are two gigantic figures of solid cedar, which will eventually be employed to strike the chimes. The quadrangle is paved with blue-tinted granite, crossed with lines of red arcaded blocks of buildings, 210 ft. long by 45ft. in width, run round the side of the quadrangle. It is here the shops are situated. The buildings are four storeys high, in cluding the basement. The wings are four storeys high, exclusive of their basements, which are cellared for - .narket purposes. In one wing is " The Sir Francis Burdett Coffee-house and Dining-rooms," While another is devoted to the sale of un adulterated beer. The other wings are occupied as residences of a rather higher class. All the buildings are substantial and ornamental, the walls being of yellow )rick, relieved with terracotta and Portland stone, and ,he roofs covered with Cumberland slates of a delicate ;men colour. In the market hall slabs of polished Irish marble, very hard and of close grain, are employed, as being conducive to cleanliness. Almost all the external woodwork is of teak. It is five years since the market was commenced. The Courts Martial Royal Commission have re commended the kbolition of branding in the services. The return just issued shows that in 1868 there were 176,729 marriages in England and Wales, 786,156 births, and 480,677 deaths. Judgment was given on Wednesday in the bank= ruptcy of Lord Albert Clinton, who was ordered to pay £lOO a year on condition of his discharge. N e arc informed that a proposal, intended to be made to the proprietors of the North Eastern Railway that they should grant an annuity of £2OO for life to Mr. George Hudson, has been abandoned. The scrutiny at Bewdley was gone into on Wednes say. Four votes were struck off by the petitioner for non residence, and one as disqualified in consequence of being a constable for the borough. The scrutiny is proceeding. From inquiries which have been instituted the feeling has become strengthened that the fire Which destroyed the church of All Saints in Savoy-square vas the work of an incendiary. Some time since there were riots at the church, and much alarm•was at that time created. These riots arose out of ritualistic practices which were in troduced there, nod which, as was commonly the case at that time, created much ill-feeling in the district. Mr. Henry Bingham Baring, who died recently at Cannes, was the eldest son of the late Mr. Henry Paring, brother of the first Lord Ashburton. He was born in 1804, and was educated at Christ Church. Oxford, where ho graduated B.A. in 1825. He entered Parliament in 1831 as representative of Callington, which borough was disfranchised by the Reform Bill of 1832, since which he represented Marlborough iu Parliament, till the last gene ral election. The deceased gentleman was a Liberal-Con servative in politics. _ Anviatzt;EntENT.J—Holloway's Pills.—The Grand Re quisites.—Nobody will deny the assertion that for man's comfort and happiness pure blood and a sound stomach rank among the first requirements.

PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Rees improvement Act, 1863, Amendment Bill, and the South Metropolitan Gas Bill were read a third time. Ou the motion for the consileration of the Imperial Gas Bill, Mr. MORRISON moved that tho bill be recommitted to the former committee with a view to the insertion of clauses to make the bill consistent with the provisions of the City of Loudon Gas Act, 1868. Mr. MONOK seconded the motion. After a few remarks from Mr. S. CAVE and Mr. GOLD NE; Mr. YOUNG said ho had no objection in recommitting the bill. The Imperial Gas Bill was referred back to the COlll.. mittee. EVIDENCE AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. DEN MAN moved the second reading of this Lill. Mr. S. HILL moved as an amendment that the bill be toad a second time on that day six months. Sir E. P. (JOLLIER thought that au unanswerable case had been made out, and believed that the bill would have a beneficial effect in obtaining evidence of truth. _ Sergeant Dowse, Mr Vernon Harcourt, and Mr. Amphett supported the bill, and the amendment was negatiTed without a division, and the bill was read a second time. HOSPITALS, &c., RATING EXEMPTION BILL. Mr. WHEELHOUSE moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. GOSOIIEN opposed the amendment on the ground that if the hospita's were to he exempted from rates they would be asked to exempt schools, working men's insti tutes, &e. Very many of the hospitals had considerable estates, and if they were exempted the effect would bo serious. lir. SULATER-BOOTII agreed with the objections raised by the fight hon. gentleman (Mr. Goscheu), and referred to the case of St. Thomas's Hospital, which was a very important and rich institution. After a few observations from Mr CAWLEY, Sir M. BEACH expressed his determination to oppose the second reading of the bill, and spoke until a quarter to six, when, by the rules of the house, the debate was postponed. The house adjourned at 12 ndnutes to six. The foundation stone of She Free Public ,Library and Museum, present.2d to the town of Paisley by Mr. Peter Coats, of the film of Me ;sm. J. and P. Coats, was laid with full masonic honours on Tuesday, by the Earl of Dalhousie, the Grand Master Mason of Scotland. At St. Omer a firm of mw;ter builders which was called upon by the Procurour :Imperial to erect a scaffold for the execution of a criminal., have been prosecuted for refusing to obey the order. `Sr he tribunal of simple police before which the case was tr:ought dismissed it, .oa the ground that the law of 22 C roinal, year 4, upon which the public prosecut.. , r relied, 07.aied on!y to workmen per sonally require-d to give thi Ai manual labour, and not to persons in the position of theJtaciondauts.
