Last evening a paper by Professor Lorrimer, of Edinburgh, was read at the Social Science Associa tion in the Adelphi, Mr. W. T. S. Daniel, Q.C., in the chair, on the principle of voting at elections. He said there were four schemes in point of prin ciple in accordance with which the borders of politi cal power may be extended. First, to give equal votes to an additional number of citizens, stopping short at a certain point. This, he said, was the scheme which for the present had taken exclusive possession of the public mind, and to which the objections in principle in the eyes of the constitutionalists are by far the strongest, as it embodies the seeds of oli garchy, of democracy, and even of despotism, with out giving any guarantee for the advantages which belong to any of these forms of government. Secondly, to give equal votes to the whole commu nity. To this form it was objected that it was founded on an erroneous conception of human nature, and implied a violation of natural law. Resting on the assumption that all men are equal, it is founded on a falsehood, which it is vain to at tempt to convert into a fact by a violent levelling of social conditions. Thirdly. A system of propor tional voting introduced and extended beyond the limits of the present constitutions, but only so far as to embrace a limited portion of the non-electors. By this means one of the faults of the present sys tem would be got rid of, and a false principle of equality would be abandoned, and the suffrage, so far as it went, would be placed on a basis of fact. The gain both to order and to liberty would be great, however limited might be the extent to which the graduation was applied, or the franchise ex tended for the present. To this there was the ob jection that a scheme of partial graduation is that by maintaining a fictitious boundary line where no natural boundary can be found, that it created an artificial separation between classes. Fourthly. Universal graduated enfranchisement, by means of which alone both the false principles of equality and finality which vitiate the first scheme in conjunc tion and the second and third separately are got rid of. A discussion ensued, in which Mr. F. Hill, Mr. R. A. Macfie, Dr. Pankhurst, Mr. Hastings, Mr. Best, and the chairman took part, after which the paper was ordered to be printed, and the meeting separated.

The history which the French papers present of Martin Reau, a rich peasant of Aunis, now about to be tried for murder, forms a terrible list of crimes, by each of which it appears he has contrived to obtain considerable accessions to his property. Four near relatives have perished within a few years of diseases unintelligible to the medical attendants, and attended with horrible suffering, and it seems that he has inherited the ,property of every one of these persons. The first , was his brother-in-law, Peter Reau ; shortly afterwards his wife, Mary Jane Reau. Julia Bontemps, his second wife, was the third victim ; and her son Abel Reau, a little child, expired in January last, leaving to his father his portion of his mother's estate. The first crime being of the date of 1853, the ac cused enjoys with respect to it the benefit of the prescription, but its story is briefly as follows :-- Peter Reau was a bachelor of 32 years of age. About the end of Jan., 1853, he was seized with sudden illness, Itavitig frightful inflammation from the mouth to the stomach. His thirst was insa tiable. His palate and throat were swollen, and other alarming symptoms showed themselves. Mar tin Reau sent a woman named Jacquette to take care of him, and in two days Peter Reau breathed his last. Peter Reau had breakfasted with his brother-in-law after a hunting party, and imme diately afterwards was seized with illness. It was known that Martin Reau had obtained from his brother-in-law a conveyance of his landed property worth about I,ooof. per annum. But Peter Reau shortly afterwards had accused his brother-in-law of having robbed him, by obtaining his signature to this deed when intoxicated. It was revoked, but some months afterwards Martin Reau had contrived to obtain some sort of possession of the property, and a fierce quarrel between the two men sprung up. Three years after the decease of Peter Reau, Mary Jane Reau, the first wife of the accused, died after a short illness. Curious to relate, her malady closely resembled that which had carried off her brother Peter. She experienced violent inflamma tion in the throat and the breast, and she diel at the end of two days in fearful agony. This unhappy Jane had been tyrannised over by her husband, who inspired her with terror. She said she took medi cines to preventeonception. She had a presentiment that her life would be short, and she told her hus band, whose attentions to a certain Julia Bon temps she had observed, " When I am dead thou wilt marry her." By the death of his wife Martin Reau inherited half of her means, for on the morn ing after her marriage he had taken her to a notary, when she made a will in his favour. Martin Reau shortly afterwards, a true Blue Beard, married Julia Bontemps. This woman is described on all hands as having been charming ; her sprightliness was increased by the high spirits accompanyingper• feet health, but sha soon became sad and suffering. Julia, like the unfortunate woman whom she had succeeded, took by her husband's commands myste rious draughts. One day a servant saw her take from her bosom a phial filled with a white liquid ; he asked if she were ill, and she replied, 4 lt is for peace sake—we are often compelled to do what we do not like," and at the same moment burst into tears. She poured out the phial on the earth, adding "Since my husband is not here I will not take it to day." Some days afterwards Martin Reau said to the same servant, "My wife will never have chil dren; I have besides the means of prevention under my bolster." Despite these pretended preventives Julia Bontemps became enctente towards the com mencement of the year 1861, and her husband did not conceal his irritation at the circumstance. At this time the young wife was exposed to several severe injuries, which plainly were not the result of accident,- and which could have had but one object. One day, among others, her husband suddenly flung her violently on the ground. Laser, she had two falls down the cellar steps ; wooden rollers had been placed, as if by design, across these steep and slip pery steps. In one of these falls Julia dislocated her arm. Notwithstanding all these machinations a son was born Sept. 12, 1864. The child was in stantly taken from her and given to nurse to a woman who had not sufficient nutriment to impart to it. But before telling the history of the child it is as well to relate how Martin Reau got rid of the mother. Julia Bontemps became in her turn ill, and soon was overpowered with alarming weakness. Then followed retchings and spasms ; her dry lips rattled like castanets. Her agonies were frightful. For the last two days of her life she did nothing but writhe and moan. After her death Martin Reau, who till then had exhibited a revolting carelessness :'t-t1 FERENWG Great North of Scotland, Ist pf., 78 cHEFERENCE SHAMES AND STOCKS.

This death fur ther increased the fortune of Martin Reau, for he was also the legatee of Julia Bontemps. He had even succeeded in bringing about a marriage be tween his first wife's mother and his second wife's father, and the latter denuded himself of property in favour of his daughter, so that the property of the two families were by the last death added to the fortune of Martin Reau. But the end is nct yet. Julia Bontemps left a child, Abel Reau, who became in his turn the victim of his own father's cupidity. Martin Reau, who had never troubled himself about the child, went to see him at nurse last January. The child was immediately seized with violent convulsions and vomiting. It was noticed that his limbs writhed and his teeth were gnashed together violently. This last crime was the drop which overflowed the cup—public indignation was aroused. The bodies of Peter Reau and Mary Jane Reau were exhumed, and the results were overwhelming. Chemical analysis also proved that Abel Reau had• been a victim to poison. In the stomach, liver, and blood were found a poisonous mercurial salt—bichloride of mercury or corrosive sublimate. In the organs of Julia Bontemps also were folind traces of this poison. The grave of Mary Jane Reau was opened, and corrosive subli mate was found in the earth about the head and in the mould collected from each side of the vertebral column. The identity of the poison in each body leads to the belief that it was administered by the same hand. The same description of poison has been found in the possession of Martin Reau. Being a dealer in mules, he had often purchased for his diseased (animals mercurial medicaments. On the other hand, it is said that he had studied the action of poisons on the human frame—a strange study for one in his position of life. He had bought a scientific work, which he had principally studied under the head of mercurial poisons. Dreadful sayings of this man are reported, as that he said—" The more wives a man marries the richer he gets." A remarkably interesting trial will now take place, and accompanied by most probably other startling revelations. It is said the accused has seriously increased his own danger by trying to throw the responsibility of the poisoning of his second wife and his son upon her parents, and concocting against them a tissue of false evidence. He promised a witness I,ooof. if he would depose in accordance with a paper which he sent him by a prisoner ; but the man sent the paper to the police. M. Lachaud will defend the accused; and more than 60. witnesses will be examined in this tragedy, one of the deepest that has ever been unravelled in an assize court. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Nisi Prius sittings at Guildhall, before Mr. Justice Mellor and a Common Jury.) CHICHESTER Y. WIFE V. COBB. Mr. Hawkins, Q.a, and r. Lloyd appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Huddlesto , Q.C., and Mr. Williams, for the defendant. This was an action by Mr. Chichester, grandson of the Marquis of Donegal, and clerk of the peace for the county of Belfast., io recover a sum of £3OO. Mr. Chichester pro posed to the female plaintiff, who is the daughter of the defendant, a gentleman of small fortune, residing at Kensington, in April, 1t 6 5, which she communicated to her father. By arra Igement the parties met on the 10th July, at defendant's house, and the subject of the proposed marriage was introduced. The defendant said he supposed Mr. Chichester expected him to do some thing for her, and that he would, but it must be by will. He added, however, that he would give her .£3OO. The subject of a settlement made on her sisters was then alluded to, and Mr. Chichester said he would endeavour to overthrow it, which her father advised him not to do. There was also some conversation respecting the marriage being solemnised in a Roman Catholic as well as Protestant place of worship, she being a Roman Catholic. She denied most positively that her husband made any promise in repect to the latter. (It is necessary to state here that the defendant pleaded that a distinct promise had been given by the plaintiff on this point, and also that he would not attempt to disturb the settlement already alluded to, and that it was his breach of promise in both cases which induced him to refuse the payment of the £300.) Mr. Chichester was called, but Mr. Justice Mellor interposed, and expressed a hope that, as this was a family affair, some arrangement would . be made between the litigants. This suggestion was ultimately adopted, and a verdict for the plaintiff was taken by consent for £l5O. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.---This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN OLD GENTLEMAN Our OF PLACE.—Emma James and Harriett Jones, two unfortunates, were charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with feloniously stealing a silver watch, the property of Mr. Garling, of George-street, Hampstead road. Mr. Edwin Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the defence. The prosecutor, on being asked his name, said (smiling), " Garling. Its a very funny name, isn't it ?" He went on to say that he met the prisoner James the previous even ing, and treated her to as much beer and gin as she could drink. He then wont home with her, when more drink was fetched by the prisoner Jones. He afterwards missed his watch, and gave the prisoners into custody. In cross-examination Mr. Lewis elicited that the prose cutor was intoxicated, a by no means uncommon occurrence with him, and in answer to a further question the prose cutor created some laughter by saying that he missed his watch "when it was gone." . Police-constable 134 E deposed that the prisoner James said she gave the watch to tho other prisoner to pay for the drink sent for by the prosecutor, and also to finding the watch. Mr. E. Lewis addressed the magistrate for the prisoners, contending that there was no case of felony substantiated. Mr. Tyrwhitt concurred in this view. It did not ap pear that the prosecutor had paid any money even for the drink which he had himself ordered, but it was probable the watch was taken with his knowledge and consent for the purpose of payment. He should discharge the pri soners. An obscene book (partly printed and partly manuscript) taken from one of the prisoners, was ordered by the magis trate to be destroyed. THAMES. THE SHADWELL TIGRESS.—Mary Ann Mulcahy, a stout, well-dressed, large-featured Irish woman, about 40 years of age, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with assaulting and wounding Mary Drummond. The prisoner has been frequently convicted of very savage assaults, and has been imprisoned with hard labour six or seven times. She is the wife of an Irishman, named Michael Mulcahy, who is the proprietor of several infamous houses in that horrible, place, Bluegate-fields, Shadwell, and he has been subjected more than once to his wife's brutality. The complainant in this case, who is a person of bad character and dissipated habits, came into the witness-box in a very weakly condit!on, with her head bandaged and her left arm in a sling, said she had been acting as servant to the prisoner and working with her in the day time. Last night Mr. and Mrs. Mulcahy had words at supper time, and the prisoner went out and came in very drunk at a late hour, and said, " Are you here ?" to which she replied, " Yes, I am ; where else should Ibe ?" Mrs. Mulcahy immediately took up the poker and struck her with it across the elbow of her right arm. She called out, " You have broken my arm," and Mrs. Mulcahy swore at her and said, " Pll break your head too," and struck her on the head with the poker. She went out and obtained the aid of a police-constable, and was afterwards conveyed to the London Hospital, where the wound on her head was dressed. Mr. Paget—You said something about Mr. Mulcahy's supper. What do you mean? Witness—Yes, he was having bread and milk for supper, which I fetched for him, and I was seated alongside of him at the fire place when Mrs. Mulcahy came in and beat me with the poker. Police-Sergeant Procter, of the K division, said he ap prehended the prisoner at 2 o'clock this morning, and visited the room where the prosecutrix was wounded. There was a good deal of blood on the floor. Tho prisoner, in defence, said that Mrs. Drummond was drunk all day yesterday, and drinking brandy-and-water with Mr. Mulcahy. When she came home she found her husband taking his supper of bread and milk, and Mrs. Drummond seated near him in a very improper position. She remonstrated with her, and was assaulted and abused. Mr. Paget said he would hear the evidence of the sur geon who dressed the wound before he disposed of the case. He remanded the prisoner. THE JOURNEY OF THE FRENCH EMPRESS TO ROME.--The Inde'pendance Beige says : « The journey of the Empress of the French to Rome no longer appears to be doubtful. The resistance the proposal met with merely led to its adjournment, but its realisation is approaching. A Marseilles paper announces that the apartments of the Empress have been engaged at the Hotel do Rome, which the Empress of Mexico occupied, her Majesty having refused the accommodation at the Quirinal offered her by the Holy Father. According to some accounts, the 18th of this month is fixed for the de parture of the Empress from Paris."

The Britannia left Glas govon the 3d Nov., bound for New. York with 300 passengers. THE CATTLE SHOW.—Yesterday. The following appeared in our Third Edition of yester• day evening : The great annual Christmas Cattle show, held under the auspices of the Smithfield Club, at the Agricultural Hall, Islington, commenced this day, and, although the number of cattle, sheep, and pigs exhibited did not come up to the usual number, yet the unanimous opinion was that the quality of the animals exhibited had never been better. The animals to which the honour of the red ribbon, or first class, was awarded were generally faultless as to form and size, whilst those of the blue (second prize), and orange (third prize), were quite worthy the honour conferred upon them. Mr. Rowland Wood, whose celebrated ox last year was the theme of general admiration and praise, this year did not carry off even a first-class prize, and in the pig division General Hood did not, as usual, secure a prize. The show of agricultural implements is very large, and some of the stands are remarkable for the excellence and utility of the articles offered for sale. The show of roots is very great. Messrs. Gibbs, of Half Moon-street ; Messrs. Carter, of Holborn ; Messrs. Barr and Sugden, all exhibit very largely ; and Mr. Jones, of Gloucester, also is in his usual place, with all his useful articles, which always attract great attention. The judges commenced their labours shortly before 10 o'clock. The following is a complete list of the prizes awarded this day : DEVON CATTLE.
