Ditto black and others, comprising cocks' and vul tures' feathers, without distinction of colour, 100 f. the 100 kilos. I The following is the Report and Ordonnance on the new linen tariff; extracted from the official Moniteur of Monday last REPORT TO THE KING. Sire,—Grave difficulties press at this moment on one oj our finest branches of industry—the' linen manufac ture. The King and the Chambers have heard the ex pression of its suffering, and the Government has con tracted with the Legislature, which has just terminated, an engagement to come to the aid of this great interest. France found formerly in her own production the means of providing with ease for the immense consumption which she had always had of cloths of flax and hemp, at the same time that she exported to a considerable amount to other countries. At present our exports are sensibly diminished. The imports from abroad, which for twenty years were stationary, now supply us with a constantly increasing quantity of cloths and throw upon our markets masses of threads, which in the space of ten years have amounted, from 800,000- . kilogrammes, to nearly 10,000,000, representing a value of 41,000,000 of francs. We have even reason to fear that at the present moment the arrivals exceed in a large proportion all an ticipations, as well as all actual wants. Such perturba tion, Sire, which is happily of rare occurrence in the history of international commerce, has two leading causes. Whilst the importation of cloth is affected in a neighbouring country with an entrance duty of 40 per cent., the mechanical means of linen spinning have been in the same country practiSed with,a rapidity and upon a scale which leave behind all the efforts refole by other na tions to partieipate in the advantages of this great disco very. The results of this revolution in manufactures were naturally calculated to become injurkus to us, ac in France a deep-rooted and extensive practice of spinning by hand necessarily rendered the adoption of the new pro cess less prompt. Our new spinning establishments have not, therefore, been able to support the shock of foreign competition, and several of them have been com pelled to stop by the continually increasing invasion of rival products. This is not all ; those threads in the pre paration of which the mechanical means employed per mit the use of textile material of inferiorquality imported from India and Oceania, are substituted in our linen manufactures for the productions of su p er i or qua li ty o f our own soil. Th e agriculturists of France, therefore, be hold the circle of their markets constantly narrowed both at home and abroad, by the invasion of flax and hemp, from other countries, introduced into l'rance, in the state of thread or silk. The ruinous consequences of this state of things 'extend to sixty-five of our depart ments, . in which the diffeient branches of the hemp trade had hitherto supplied employment to a popu lation, having no other resource. It has become urgent to apply a remedy. The law of the 6th May, 1841, had already attempted to confine within just limits the competition of foreign threads in the French markets: Desirous of proceeding in such a com plicated question with reserve and moderation, we then hoped that a protection of from 10 to 11 per cent. would be a sufficient guarantee for our manufactures. This hope has not been realised. An extraordinary reduction of price, the result of the progress of mechanical spin ning amongst our neighbours, and the use of less expen sive materials than ours,_ have overthrown the calcula- Metallic pens, if not of gold or silver, 4f. the kilo. Flax combs, with iron or copper teeth, same duty as for farming instruments. Ditto with steel teeth, same duty as pure steel tools.

MADAME D'AItIILAY'S DIARY.—The fourth volume of this work, which is to appear in a few days, will, we under stand, considerably exceed in interest any of its predeces3ors, as it will contain matters of much historical importance. The most notable among these is the first attack of insanity of George the Third, the most minute personal details of which are said, now for the first time, to be given to the world, tr,gether with the extraordinary conduct of the Regent expectant (the Prince of Wales) under the•circumstances. Another remarkal, le fea ture of the forthcoming volume is said to be the trial of Warren Hastings, with all the leading promoters of which Miss Burney w as personally intimate ; and we understand that her private conversations with Mr. Wyndham on this exciting topic are detailed verbatim as they took place in court, while the trial was pra•ecding. Indeed, from all that we hear, the forthcoming volume, and those which are to follow it, will give to the work a degree of historical interest and value that no similar produc tion ever claimed. The King of Sweden, says a letter from Stock holm, June 14, has published an ordonnance, signifying his adhesion to the treaty of July, 1841, for closing the Straits of the Dardanelles. tions and expectations of the legislator. To check the evil, an important augmentation of the present rate of duty—an augmentation which for certain classes will more than double it—is an indispensable measure. We have the honour to propose to your Majesty to modify in this sense the tariff established by the law of May 6th, upon threads of flax and hemp. The augmentation of the tariff upon threads necessarily leads to a similar mo dification in that upon cloths of the same materials, for otherwise the equilibrium between the conditions of the two co-relative branches would be destroyed, and our spinners would have to suffer from what should preserve the spinning trade. But it would not be sufficient to place upon cloth the increase now proposed upon thread ; we must also fall back upon the augmentation of duty which it underwent last year, and of which at the time it was not thought necessary to take account. The ordonnance, of which I submit the draft to your Majesty, meets this double necessity. Sire, we think that the products of a bordering country in which the state of the linen trade more resembles our own, might be excepted from the measures which I have proposed, but the nego tiations entered into with Belgium, in order to secure for us in return concessions in favour of our wines, salt, and silks, not being yet concluded, we have been compelled to postpone the exception until after the probable con clusion of these arrangements. Some rectifications of the tariff of less importance, and some regulations, ac company these principal objects of the new ordonnance. Our seaports will find in them several concessions, cal culated to facilitate the freighting of their vessels, and to encourage distant enterprise. Thus the arrangements, which we have the honour to submit to your Majesty, at the same time that they will consolidate one of our oldest branches of industry, will aid in the no less necessary development of our maritime commerce.

We. have seen, latterly, frequent references, in the English JoUrnals, to the conduct pursued by the autho rities of Belgium towards the boats of the General Steam Navigation Company plying to Antwerp and Ostend. We cannot believe the authorities, however en :ions for the prosperity of Belgian steamers, would he guilty of such ingratitude, such meanness, or folly, as to countenance the disgraceful acts complained of. Winter and summer, for more than twelve years, have the Company's boats been plying to Ostend ; it is now two years and more that the Company, to give every facility and access to a thriving and commercial town, ran a splendid and powerful steatner, the Rainbow, to Antwerp ; she always performed her voyage in two hours less time than any other boat on the sta tion; her fleetness and beautiful equipment induced many to pass into Belgium by a long sea voyage, who would otherwise have chosen another route ; tens of thousands have thus passed into Belgium that would never have trod its soil ; the Government must know, and though in general they are not very mindful of benefits conferred, still, we think they should not forget that the Company has the means of revenge in its own hands, and can at'- ford to punish those who would unjustly, ungratefully, injure it. Let the Company reduce its fares one-half to Rotterdam and the Rhine, or to Hamburgh, and charge two shillings to Ostend and Antwerp, how many passen gers will patronise the Government opposition in Bel gium, or land there at all ? We love fair play, we de light in an opposition where the parties are equal, or think themselves so; but every generous bosom, every English man will rise in wrath against an opposition where a Go vernment, forgetful of past benefits, would strive to injure its benefactor, one, too, that patronised it when no other would hold out a helping hand to its wants or distress. Every Englishman, abroad, is under certain obligations to the General Steam Navigation Company. Their boats are safe, well manned, and, in general, commanded by civil and obliging captains; those to this port are particularly so. Faults are found with the charges; we ourselves think that were they lower tkey would :gain considerably by it, especially in the summer season; it would also render any opposition hopeless, for when the public think an old friend is only charging a remune rating price, they will not desert him for any new comer. At the same time the public are justified, when they think their interests injured, to support every Company or every boat which they think calculated to promote their object. Universally, however, the General Steam Navi gation Company are respected wherever their boats have appeared, and we have no doubt that the paltry annoy once a few petty officials have throam in their path in Belgium will soon disappear, and the fair play they de mand be wisely extended to them—Boulogne Gazette.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Through the medium of your truly independent Journal I wish to draw the attention of the public at large to the farce that is now playing with the gold cur rency, just as though the middle anti lower classes of the community were not in sufficient difficulties at the pregent time, with an, increase of taxation staring them in the face in the shape of an Income and Property -tax — a tax oral! others the most to be condemned, because not needed ! Yet, with this vexatious proceeding, we have another to accompany it—that is, a complete derange ment of trade by a late proclamation, declaring that gold, under a certain weight, is not a legal tender, thereby inflicting a ruinous loss on the already half starved mechanic, and as well causing great loss and in convenience to the tradesman. In my opinion a more ill-timed proceeding never emanated from any Adminis tration, Whig or Tory, and to meet this act of the Go vernment I propose to the public generally, one and all, to walk off to the Bank of England and its branches with all the notes they can procure and demand gold that is weight, and by which means we shall see how far their gold will meet the amount of paper issued.

B LAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS. To Mr. PROUT 229, Strand, London. Beaconsfield, August 7th, 1841. Sir,—Having for several years past suftereA exceedingly frtim Gout and Rhe , imatism, so much so that I was prevented from following my usual avocations for months together, I was recommended by a friend of mine who had taken Blair's Pill with great success, to try a box, one of which I procured of .our Agent, Mr. butler, of Bea constield, and which I can confidently assure you had such a won derful effect upon me, that I have not had au attack of Gout or Rheu matism since, which is now fifteen months.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—l have struggled hard to save a little money, and on consulting a friend whose head I thought was longer than my own, he advised me to place it in Sir 11. Bassett's bank. ; I did so, but I had not done so a month when some fiend of evil spread a report, which caused a heavy run, and I was advised to get out my money and place it at bank. Fortunately I could not get the cash without giving three months' notice, and long before that time expired the bank had failed : at the end of the three months I got my money and interest, and was ac:vised to convert my Bank of England notes into sovereigns, for fear of the former being forged or stolen paper. I now thought myself safe, and though my money was unproductive I thought it would not lose its value, happen what might, and that I had better lose the interest than the whole. Now comes a story that my sovereigns are not worth more than nineteen shillings and sixpence each, and many of them perhaps not so much ; so that in the last three months, instead of my capital producing interest I have lost by each 1001. 21. 10s. at the least. Pray, Mr. Editor, tell me if this be true, or if this ruse is only played off to favour the banks and bring paper money into credit : it certainly has that effect ; a month since you- might have almost as well have asked a person for five of his front teeth as to give to you five sovereigns for a five pound note ; then all were anxious to get rid of their paper—now all are trying to get rid of their gold ; to get change for a sovereign is quite out of the question, you must sell it at a loss. It was said, from the immense number of failures, that it would be all up with banks and bank paper, that nobody would think of keeping anything but gold ; but we did not then know what a card Sir Robert had to play in the currency game—there never was such a fellow for tricks : pray tell us, if possible, what his next move is likely to be, and you will greatly oblige, Mr. Editor, yours, TOM PIGEON. Newport, Isle of Wight, June 21. FURIOUS STRUGGLE WITH A BURGLAR.—A most daring burglary happened in the neighbourhood of Bradford, on Sunday night last, ending in the capture of the thief, and the defeat of his nefarious designs. Mr. Joseph Bailey, waste dea ler, who resides in Spring-row, Manningham, retired to rest about ten o'clock, having previously suspended his watch over the bed-head. After being asleep for some time he was awakened by hearing some one moving about the room ; and on opening his eyes saw a man's hand stretched ever the bed in the act of taking his watch. Without saying a word he sprang out of bed and seized the intruder by the collar. A desperate struggle ensued, both being powerful men, and pretty equally matched, until at length they came to the edge of the chamber steps, when both rolled to the bottom. Although severely bruised in the descent, Bailey never released his hold of the robber, and the struggle was continued with equal deter mination on both sides in the lower floor for some minutes. At length they got into the garden in front of the house, when Bailey broke silence, and by his cries alarmed two of the neighbours, who came out in their undress, and assisted him to secure the thief. In the space of a few minutes the constable was brought to the spot, and effectually secured the prisoner by handcuffing him. Seeing the hopelessness of his position, he at length exclaimed, " Well, its a done job." The prisoner was searched, and upon his person was found no less than 31 skeleton keys, for opening cupboards, desks, &c., two brace bits, one of which fitted a hole newly made in the back door, and a dark lantern. The drawers, in every part of the house, had been ransacked, and a number of articles were packed up ready to be,conveyed away. The watch was foUnd on the chamber floor, and a pocket-book containing 301. in cash wrapped up in a waistcoat. As some things, but none of ma terial value, were missing, it seems more than probable the man had one or more accomplices. Entrance had been effected through the window, one square of which was broken, room for a hand was thus obtained, the latch unfastened, and the sash gently raised. Having thus easily obtained admission, they next opened the door, ready for escape if the inmate should be aroused. Mr. Bailey was in the house by himself, his wife being at Harrowgate.—Leeds Conservative Journal. in the night of' Friday last, a sentinel posted at the Arsenal of Toulon received particular orders to be vigilant, as two convicts were known to have escaped from their cells, and the officers were in search of them. Hearing some one moving, the soldier challenged, and, receiving no answer, fired and wounded a man in the thigh. When takenand examined, he was found to be a drunken sailor. The two fugitives were afterwards discovered and secured, --- It is stated in a letter from Vienna that the Empe ror of Austria has decided that the Archduke Charles Ferdi nand, the younger son of the Archduke Charles, shall attend the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the marriap of the Emperor and Empress of Russia.

In all well-regulated Governments (observes Rud ing, the excellent coin -annalist) it is found to be as requisite that there should be money of small value for the use of the market and the poorer sort of sub • jects, as of the larger species for the other purposes of trade and commutation ; and what the value of the smallest piece should be is pointed out by the propor tion the price of provisions bears to that of labour, and to the abilities of the lower class to purchase them. FARTHINGS Or GRAINS.—A farthing, or the fourth part of a penny, is that of the least value we ever had in England, and began to be coined about the year 1270, under Edward the First, of standard silver, and continued to be minted in this manner for near 300 years. At its first introduction the farthing weighed about 5-1 grains troy, and on account of its lightness, there fore, was inconvenient in use, and liable to be lost, which was the reason of the frequent complaints of their scarcity and of the petitions for new coinages of them ; and also a principal cause of the base black coins of 'foreign countries obtaining a currency among us. ADOPTION OF TIIE COPPER FARTHING.—It was finally found that the farthing could be no longer minted of good silver, being lost almost as fast as coined ; no other method, therefore, remained of striking them but of base silver or pure copper, and the Legislature not having recourse to either, and they being much wanted for many purposes, shop keepers and tradesmen made farthings for themselves, which, although it was a notorious abuse of the Royal prerogative, was, however, winked at. The coining of these farthings in such quantities, and for Go long a time, is, we believe, the only instance to be found of this sort in any State, and appears a strange thing to foreigners. Great disorders having arisen in Queen Elizabeth's time from grocers, vintners, chandlers, alehouse keepers, and all sorts of tradesmen making their own farthings out of lead, tin, latten, and even leather, proposals were made to the Queen, to remedy these matters, for a coinage of copper pledges for farthings, but the proclamation was never published, and the coinage never took place. About the time of Jame 3 1. the city of Bristol struck a copper farthing by authority, and this became not only current in the city, but in the country for ten miles round, to the great benefit of these places. Worcester and Oxford also struck copper farthings at this time. In London, we are informed by Sir Robert Cotton (Posthum. 12mo edit., 1679), that there were no less than 3,000 persons who mane their own farthings. FARTHINGS OF JAMES I. AND CHARLES I.—There _ _ _ had been several proposals and schemes made, for coining farthings by the State upon the coming of King James to the Crown; nay, even three years before the death of Queen Elizabeth, she was again pressed upon this head, but• to no purpose, as she de clared she would never consent to a currency of copper money. LORD HARRINGTON'S PATENTSHIP.— At length, Lord Harrington, after a variety of proposals had been debated on by the Privy Council, obtained the patent to coin, and he entered into covenant with the King for that purpose. His Majesty was informed that the grant was worth 60,000/., showing that if 100,000 lbs. weight of copper was coined, it would be worth 90,4001., and, deducting 24,4501. for copper and charges, there would remain 65,000/. profit. King James, therefore, allo w ed L or d H arrin gton 25,0001., as it should be raised by the issue of these tokens, and the surplus, if any, was to go to the King. The coinage of farthings by private persons was thus thrown out of the market, and the new far thing coins were ushered in by the King's proclama tion of May 19, 1612. Lord Harrington died FebrUary 27, 1614 (Sir Jul. Cresar's MS.), and his son, the second Lord Har rington, a few months after him, and we cannot learn into whose hands the patent came afterwards. King Charles the First, soon after his accession to the throne, published a proclamation, May 30, 1625, con tinuing their currency, and another, June 20, 1634, enforcing the same. THE FARTHING PANIC.—But the Government proclamation of King James threw the poorer people into great distress, and acted with a far more grinding effect than the present infliction and exaction caused by the light sovereigns. The city of London and the counties of Kent, Essex, Suffblk, an d Norfolk, were so loaded with them, that there was scarce any gold or silver left, and on account of the cheating measures which the Government had recourse to, all the poorer people who lived by selling fruits, herbs, fish, and other such commodities, are mentioned by the histories of the time as being left in a shamefully cruel and destitute condition. it is conceived that at this period 100,0001. of copper farthings, of the coin age of private persons, dispersed through the king dom, was utterly lost. TOWN AND TRADESMEN'S FARTHINGS, 1648-72. Owing to the great quantity of Royal farthings uttered by the patentees, the number of counterfeits which was also mixed with them, and the patentees refusing to re-change them, at last put an entire stop to the Government currency. The consequence was that private tradesmen, corporate towns, villages, and boroughs immediately began to re-assume the re coinage of their own farthing pieces. Bristol and , Oxford again led the van • Norwich and Yarmouth followed, a n d soo n th e Whole hundreds of towns, boroughs, and cities in the kingdom consentaneously did the same. Of private individuals alone, there are now extant farthings with the names of 30,000 different persons who coined them ; and of the leading towns upwards of 13,000. _ QUAINTNESS OF DEVICE.—Some of these farthings had the strangest devices on them imaginable, just according to the whim, whit, or fancy of the di versified coiner. Two poetical ones ran thus : Altho'ugh but brass, You let me pass. And another, equally short and antithetical, waa— Welegme you be To trade with me. FARTHINGS OF THE COMMONWEALTH.--During the Commonwealth and King Charles time, a go vernment coinage of farthings again took place, and of course- threw the town and tradesmen's out of- use. Most of those struck during the Commonwealth de clared the purport of their intended currency to be to facilitate small commutations, or to help the poor ; and the legend of the generality was " THE FARTHING TOKENS FOR THE • RELIEF OF THE PORE, ENGLAND'S FARDING—FOR NECESSARY CHANGE." TIN FARTnrNos.—During the reign of James 11., and William and Mary, tin farthings were greatly in vogue, but copper again came into use during the latter part of the last reign, and Mr. Corbet obtained a patent, which was shortly after transferred to Sir John Herne for that purpose. By this patent 700 tons were to be coined in seven years ; government was to be paid 1,0001. per annum, and the profit remaining to the patentee in nine years was, we believe, little short of 18,1001. FARTHINGS OF GEORGE THE FIRST, 1717.—After the troubles, which disturbed the beginning of the reign of George the First, were blown over, or in the year 1717, the subject of the copper money was again taken into consideration, and they were again coined at the Tower. They were lighter than those of King William's, they having 28 pence to one lb. avoirdu poise, instead of 21 pence. The bars or fillets were delivered into the mint at 18 pence per lb., and there appears to have been coined to the amount of 46,0001. sterling, or about 213} tons. CROWN PROFITS FROM FARTHINGS. From an account of the copper moneys coined between Nov. 20, 1729, and Dec. 23, 1753, it appears from the particular rolls made up for, the auditors, and sworn before the Barons of the Exchequer, that nearly 800 tons of copper have been coined during that period in halfpence and farthings, bringing in a clear profit to the crown of 17,4351. 17s. 6d.

" The House, however, anxious not to be wanting in grail-. tude towards your Excellency for your effective co-operation in its labours, has unanimously come to the following resolution, which I am directed to read to your Excellency tar the present occasion : " RESOLUTION OF THE MOST NOBLE THE LEGISL ETITE ASSEMBLY. " CORFU, MAY 30.—. From motives of gratitude justly due « it is resolved, That the Assembly shall, through its Presides*. express to his Excellency the Right Honourable James Alex ander Stewart Mackenzie, Lord High Commissioner of her Majesty the protecting Sovereign, its feelings of gratitude to wards him for his beneficial co.nperation in effecting such im provements as have been possible, as yet, in the codes of legis lation." SPEECH OF HIS EXCELLENCY THE RICHT NCO °DRABLY THE LORD MOH COMMISSIONER OF HER MAJESTY THE PRO TECTING SOVEREIGN OF THE UNITED STATES OF THE lONIAN. ISLANDS. Mr. President and Gentlemen,—l congratulate you on the termination of your arduous labours. I trust that the measures introduced by you, and which have occupied your attention, will prove useful and beneficial to these States.. I refrain from any detailed observati( ns or exa mination of them. By the permission of my gracious Sovereign, the protecting Sovereign of these States, sent. to me after the meeting of the Assembly, I have b een au th or i se d to add s; new chapter to the Constitutional Ciarter, and to introduce ether important changei on the 6th chapter, which remove the obstacles that• have heretofore impeded legislation. While this concession proves-at once.:the continued anxiety of her Majesty for the eradual advancement of a more perfect system of legislation in " future, as well as for the most competent and uniform admi.• nistratien of the laws, in these States, it evinces, no less, the confidence reposed by.our gracious Sovereign in the lonian Parliament ; while, at the same time, increased caution in its future measures of legislation is by this very concession, im posed, as nsacred duty, on the lonian Legislature; for, with out stability in the principles off which laws are founded, un certainty and distraht will be engendered,. to the uetriment of the national interests. I have, therefore, endeavoured, as I felt it to be my duty, to discourage a hasty departure from those fundamental principles of law recently adopted, in order that such amendments only should be adm►tted, as have been proved to he necessary ; and such parts only of the codes should be either modified or re pealed, as have been found to be either injurious or inefficient in their operation in the short interval since their adoption. Time and caution can alone perfect the work of legislation. The Civil List, which has been unanimously adopted by the Most Noble the Assembly, will prove to the country that you hare felt the necessity of economy. The reductions sanctioned, it it true, do not amount to the sum declared to be necessary to square your expenses with your means, in accordance with the information laid before the Executive Government last autumn. But the Executive Government ought to watch and will watch the other expenses of the State, and will continue to examin e with care, into what departments further economy may be in troduced, consistent with efficiency and regard to long services —adopting as far as possible a scale of salary commensurate with responsibility and work performed—perhais diminishing their number, but always selecting fur employment, without favour, the most efficient and meritorious among the public servants. The completion of such a work will require time, patience, and impartiality. But without such a revision, unless the financial resources and revenues improve, your good faith with the protecting Sovereign will he with di ffi culty kept ; nor can you maintain, in their full extent, your present establishments • whilethe 'want of surplus funds must . continue to arrest all public works, and paralyse exertions for the improvement of the States. You have, I think, Noble Legislators, wisely riven your sanction to the principles of the three Acts of Government re lative. to public instruction ; and by passing temporary Acts for their provisional operation, you hays .ettabled the commis sion to give a fair trial to these details, which necessarily re quire time and experience to mature; while the Inspector's report, now in preparation, the result of long and careful in gun y on the spot into the actual state of the schools in each of the islands, will supply authentic information indispensable to aid the commission in its future measures,. • My announce;47,7t - iie oTeningorlhe Assembly, of several important measures for the future improvement of the country has not been followed by their immediate introduction. But I do not regret this ; for, in all cases of amelioration by change or reform, to any great extent, of existing systems, mature deliberation before their adoption presents the only certain means to insure success. When the country is per sua:led that those measures, to which I alluded in my address at the opening of the Assembly, are suitable to the wants of the community, and that they will be beneficial in their opera tion, of which I entertain little doubt; when they shall have impartially weighed them and discussed them, without preju dice or personal considerations, truth will so far prevail, that what those measures contain of good will then be adopted, what of bad or doubtful will be rejected. I feel no ground for altering my opinions—being convinced that the influence of sound principles, adopted by the other civilized nations of Europe, will not long be excluded from these States—though with a caution and a more perfect knowledge than I yet pos sess, of the habits and feelings of the people of these islands, would I alone wish to enter on any extensive changes or reforms. Your unanimous resolution, just now announced to me by your President, imposes -On me the grateful task of returning you my best and most. sincere acknowledgments for the senti ments expressed by you.in .a manner so flattering to me. This valuable proof of your approbation and confidence w ill encourage me in my arduous .and. difficult career . ; for now perceive that my views for. the good of the country are fully understood and appreciated by you. • It will always form my highest pleasure, as it is my duty, with your aid and co-operation, to dedicate myself with zeal and assiduity lo the advancement of the moral and material in- terests of the lonian.people. Yeur useful and. honourable labours beim! ,now closed, it will be gratifying for you to return into the bosom of your families. My best and--most cordial good wishes attend you ; and my most heartfelt desire, that Providence sill grant you the enjoy ment of that repose which you seek, in the midst of the abun - dance of a rich harvest, as the year advances, and in nninter rupted health and happiness. By authority, J. FRASER. Secretary to the Lord High . Commissioner. TRIAL FOR MURDER IN FRANCE. A man, named Seconds, and a female named Julie Phalipon, were tried for murder by the Court of As sizes of the Aveyron, on the 13th, 14th, and 15th inst., under the following circumstances :--On the 20th May, 1839, Jean Antoine Gauthier, a miller at Mau zet, died suddenly and in great agony, with all the symptoms of having been poisoned. ,As there was reason to believe that a criminal intercourse had ex isted between his wife and Seconds and as the wife had been heard to menace her husband with death, suspicion naturally fell upon them. The body was disinterred, by order of the Mayor, a few days after the death, and submitted to the examination of three medical men, who declared that the death vo.s na tural; consequently no proceedings were instituted against the widow and her paramour, and in January following the widow, who had succeeded to the property of her husband, was married to Seconds. A year passed over, and the crime seemed to be covered with impunity, when the pub licity given to a trial for murder by poisoning, in which the existence of poison had been discovered by analysis, when there were no external indications of its presence, led to a supposition that a similar re sult might take place in the case of Gauthier. The authorities, acting under this impression, had the re mains of the victim disinterred, and the stomach and intestines being removed, were sent to Montpellier to be analysed by three chemists of that place, and these gentlemen, after operating with the apparatus of Marsh, having in their report declared that they had discovered arsenic, Seconds and his wife were taken into custody. On the trial the evidence as to the criminal intimacy between Julie Phalipon and Seconds, during the life-time of Gauthier, was not doubtful, and it was proved that she had .nore than once mixed a white powder in his drink; -mid had en treated the Cure of the parish to use his influence with Gauthier to make a will in her favour, observing to the Cure, that she was convinced Gauthier would not recover from his illness. The evidence against Seconds was circumstantial. It was proved that he had exhibited great alarm when he was apprised of the intention of exhuming the body of Gau thier a second time, and had been heard to reproach his wife with having poisoned her first husband. The answer of the wife to this reproach was that she had only acted under his advice. The manner in which the poison had been obtained was not clearly esta blished. It was sworn by a witness that he had been induced by a bribe some months before the death of Gauthier to purchase some arsenic - for a female whom he believed to be Julie Phalipon, and on the other hand it was shown that the father or the male prisoner had arsenic in his house, to which he had access. One witness swore that he had purchased arsenic for the brother of Second§, but this was de nied by the druggist, of whom it was said to have been obtained, and no entry of the sale was to be found in his books. Another witness deposed that whilst Gauthier was ill, he heard one night near the mill a man and woman conversing together in an under tone, and the woman, say, 44 he for has am resolvedvomitu vomited ands he Shall hive f ailed escaped, bait I will this time t a im ga e in ; die." It was not proved that Seconds and Julie Phalipon were the parties, although little doubt Was entertained of the fact. A witness deposed that Seconds, after the exhumation of the body, had called npcul a medical man and asked him whether it was le to discover traces of poison so long after arrtgehewim;houidulideehsetrolsyvashairiaspeplc; that before his i p 41,3 0 1 7 1 1 death, and Leing answered in the affirmative, he said, man,-* ask his now he ' was wretched and despised; that he, would wife if' she had anything to reproach herself with, and if she was guilty they would sell their property, and quit the country." ''his was before they were arrested. The jury, after a sitting of three days, de liberated for two hours, and then returned a verdict of guilty against the female, and acquitted Seconds. Sentence of death was pronounced upon the wife. Why is Father Mathew like the flesh' and. the devil ?
