SUICIDE EY A B UTLER. — Yesterday Dr. Lan kester held an inquest on the body of William Richards, aged 30, butler to Valentine Knight. Esq., a Middlesex magistrate, who hung himself in his pantry, 3, Cornwall. terrace, Regent's-park. The deceased had only been a few months in Mr. Knight's service, and on that gentleman coming home on Monday night he sent him to bed. On the following morning, on the cook coming down, a piece of paper was hanging on the pantry door, with the following words, badly spelt : "You better get a policeman to cut me down as you will find me dead inside." A. police man was sent for. The door was locked, and the deceased was found hanging, and in one of his bands a 141 b weight. Several letters were found. In one he thanked Mr. Knight for his kindness, and enclosed £lO, part of which he wished to be given to the Christian Young Men's Society, and part to the poor at Brighton. It appears that some time ago he had committed a robbery at Brighton, and had three months' imprisonment, which circumstance had prayed on his mind. He got into the service of a lady named Bigg, and afterwards went to Mr. Knight. In one of his letters he said smoking had been his ruin, but latterly he had rot indulged in it. 'His brother said he was always eccentric, and committed the robbery to see how cleverly he could do it. He was of weak intellect. The coroner said he never recollected a person holding a heavy weight in his hand when he committed suicide. Verdict, " Temp' rary in sanity." THE ARAB CAVALRY AT PARIS,--Llst Thursday the Emperor reviewed, in the Bois de Boulogne, a detachment of Turcos, and the small troop of the Spahis or Arab cavalry lately arrived in Paris. The latter were to have performed a fantasia after the manner of their own country, but an accident which caused the overthrow of two horsemen, one a Spahi and the other s'mply a looker-on, and in which both horse and man were wnunded,created such confusion around the spot where the Emperor and Empress were standing that the review was cut short, and con • isted of little more than a simple defile. The rapidity and ease with which these Arab horsemen launch their fiery horses into full gallop, turn th em sudd en l y round, and come to a dead stop, was tho astonishment and admiration of all who looked on. They are a fine, swarthy, but fierce -looking body of men, whom one could easy fa ncy swoopin g d own on their prey in their own wild country passes, but who looked thoroughly out of place and in strange c on trast to e veryt h ing around them in the trim and artificial avenues of the Champs Elysees. On Sunday they seemed greatly to enjoy the scene on the race course, and between the races amused themselves and the spectators by performing several evolu tions, galloping up and down in a sort of amateur fantasia ' style ; their gaudy-coloured garments, flowing cloaks, and turbaned head being a striking co n t ras t to th e tight figures and jockey caps of the real actors in that day's sport,—the Queen. ATTEMPTED MURDER IN MANCHESTER.—Yes terday morning a painful case came before the magistrates at the City police-court, Manchester. Harriet Fawcett, the wife of Robert Fawcett, a saddler, living in Ashton Old-road, was charged with having attempted to murder her husband. Prosecutor stated that at 11 o'clock on the previous night he and his wife went to bed. She rose about half-past five, and he heard her making a noise in the kitchen. She came up afterwards into the room, and asked him if he was going to get up. He said "No." He dozed again, and he was awakened by a sensation of pricking in his neck. He saw his wife standing at the bedside with a kaite in her hand, which she was thrusting into his throat. He seized her hand, and strugged to get posses sion of the knife. She got into the street during the struggle she ran . , but he eventually took the knife from her, and and witnessmuch gave her into custody. Witness's hands were cut i n e,... `' endeavours to secure the knife. There was a slight bled a little.

At times she took drink, and he r behaviour was very began drinking on mo shenydaY ; but when she went to bed on Thursday evening, was apparently sober. The prisoner was committed for trial. euhe fainted during the reading of the depositions, and, allowed to see her husband, hTe.r recovery, begged to be DESTRUCTION OF VESSEL ne request wa s granted.s 13Y TUE FLORIDA.— Liverpool, Thursday.---.

Rentes were rather firm at 69f 45c. The Stock Exchange was shut to-day, in order to commemorate the Queen's birthday, by a resolution of the Committee. In the general money market there is a good demand for discount accommodation, and the lowest rate at which even first class three months bills can be negotiated is 4 per cent. This sustained inquiry is no doubt produced by the active revenue collec tions which are now in progress, and the disposition evinced by manufacturers to Extend their operations. The bullion operations at the Bank yesterday comprised the influx of 110,000 in bar gold. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to 1949,600, and the exports to £464,200.

BOW-STREET. THE POLICE AND THE MARKET GARDENERS.—A party of market gardeners, owners of the immense waggons which are to be seen in such numbers in Covent-garden market, were summoned at the instance of the police for obstructing the roadway, Inspector Brunbacomb said the defendants were sum moned for refusing to remove their vehicles when required by the police. They perfectly well knew that 9 o'clock was the hour for their departure, but yet they remained, and created great confusion. Mr. Lobjoy—The market gardeners are the persons who havemadeCovent-garden what it is, and surely they ought to be treated with a little consideration. It was not the wish of any to stop after the regular hour if the goods were sold, but what is a person to do when that is not the case. The police interfere in many cases most unnecessarily, and instead of debating with the men in charge of the waggons if they were to represent the matter to the owners, who are always easily found, much of the difficulty would be avoided. One of the constables said the waggons did not clear off sometimes till after 11 o'clock, and there was no room for the carriages which arrived with persons to make purchases in the Grand-row. Mr. Lobjoy—How can it to be called a stoppage if there is 18 feet of opening between the waggons and the opposite kerb stone Mr. Corrie--It appears to me that the police want to get the waggons out to let the carriages occupy the vacated grcund, while their owners make their purchases. Mr. Lobjoy—Quite so, and the gardeners think they ought to have as much consideration as the rest, A grower would only be too glad to go away at nine o'clock if he had sold his goods. If the police were to act with a little more forbearance, the growers, I am sure, would do all in their power to assist to maintain order, but there must be mutual conciliation. A grower will go awry as soon as he can, but when unfortunately he has to remain a little longer than is allowed according to the present regu lotion, he must be treated with some consideration. Mr. Corrie—yes, there must be mutual conciliation. The police have a difficult duty to perform, and in doing it they must act as fairly as possible. The market gardeners I am sure will assist them, and I shall dismiss the present summons. THAMES. A MARINE BITRGLAR.—LUCKY ESCAPE.—David Do novan, an Irish cockney, about 23 years of age, and well known to the police, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing two Guernsey shirts, the property of Captain R. B. Evans, the master of the ship Petrel, in the West India Dock. The prisoner was seen on board the Petrel a few days since, and on being asked his business there he replied that he came to seek employment. Ho was told that he was not wanted, and ordered to leave the ship immediately. He seemingly did so, but managed in some manner to obtain admission to the captain's cabin, from which he was seen to emerge shortly afterwards and hasten on shore. He was followed and brought back, and on being searched two " Guernseys," belonging to Captain Evans, and which were taken out of a box in the after cabin were found upon him. The property was identified by Captain Evans, who said his ship was to sail this very day (Saturday) for North America on the Gulf of Mexico, and that he must sail with her. Charles Mutton, a day watchman in the London Dock, said the prisoner was a regular marine burglar, and was suspected of committing other robberies on board ship in the course of the last few weeks. Whenever he saw him in the dock he turned him out. William Gaylcr, a police-constable, No. 303 K, said the prisoner was convicted at the Westminster Sessions on the 19th December, 1860, and sentenced to 12 months' impri sonamheenptriasnodnehr_ardl lwabasour. innocent of that —as innocent as my cap. Gaylor —The prisoner has been convicted summarily three times since then. Mr. Woolrych said that under ordinary circumstances he should commit the prisoner for trial, but it would be a serious loss to the prosecutor if he compelled him to remain here and give evidence at the sessions. He should there fore again convict the prisoner summarily and sentence him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. The pri soner ought to be sentenced to a long term of penal servi tude. DISHONEST LIGHTERMEN.—STEALING WINE IN THAN SIT.—John Poole, a lighterman in the employ of Messrs. Middlemiss and Harwood, was brought before Mr. Wool rych, charged with stealing a bottle of sherry wine. Two lightermen, named John Wardell and Alfred Adams, were convicted on Thursday for stealing a gallon of port wine from a cask which they had broached. They wer e i n the employ of Messrs. Whellock and Co., lightermen and barge owners, and had to convey 35 casks of wine, in a barge called the Faith, from the London to the St. Katherine dock. They forced a cask of port wine between the two docks, drunk about half a gallon of the wine, and were "gloriously intoxicated," and were bringing on shore a bladder containing half a gallon of port wine, when they were stopped by two Customhouse officers, named Brown and Riddle, and the half gallon of wine seized. There was a deficiency of four quarts of wine in the cask which had been spilled in the bilge. Mr. Woolrych "had no doubt the prisoners had stolen the wine, and fined them 20s each for the unlawful posession thereof." Those fines were paid by the foreman of the firm who employed the prisoners, and he took the prisoners away. The case of Poole was somewhat like that of Wardell and Adams. The prisoner was entrusted with the navigation of a boat containing 120 cases, 2 hogsheads, and a butt of wine, to convey from the London Dock to a ship lying near one of the wharves at Horsleydown. The barge was dis cfvered in a part of the river a mile from the place where she ought to have been. The prisoner was on board fast asleep, and a bottle of sherry wine close to his head. One of the cases on board was found to have been displaced and broken open. It ought to have contained 12 bottles of sherry wine. There was a deficiency of one bottle of wine. The prisoner appeared to have been drinking heavily, but whether he had indulged in another bottle of sherry taken from another case could not be ascertained. The prisoner, in defence, said he laid down and fell asleep from fatigue, and that while ho was asleep some one must have boarded the barge and broke open the case. Mr. Woolrych—You had charge of the barge and the wines, and 1 can come to no other conclusion than this, that you stole the bottle of wine. I fine you 20s. for the unlawful possession of the wine, and, in default, 10 days imprisonment. 'WESTMINSTER. PAROCHIAL TERRORS.—EXTRAORDINARY APPLICA TION.—" I shall be sent to prison ; I know I shall ; it won't be my fault. The Board sent for me, and I went. lam sure they can't say I am to blame, and I hope your wor ship will help me;" was the address of a middle-aged miserable looking man, who accosted the magistrate the moment he took his seat upon the bench. Mr. Arnold —I am sure I don't understand you. What do you want of me ? Applicant—l want you to protect rte. I want you to pre vent my going to Prison. Mr, Arnold—How am Ito do that. I cannot prevent your going to prison if you are liable to be sent there. Applicant—l know lam liable to be sent there, and that's the very reason that makes me come here. My wife has deserted me. th Mr sur el. Arnold—You are n o t a f ra id of going to prison through at, y. Applicant—Yes, but I am, your worship. That's the very thing. Mr. Arnold —What you say is perfectly unintelligible to me. I cannot under stand what you want. Applicant—Why, we left the workhouse together yester day morning with the child —we have got a child —and just as w e got to Westminster- bridge she takes the child from me, makes off, and I loses her. Mr. Arnold—Well, you had better endeavour to find her. Applicant—l don't want. Mr. Arnold—Then what do want ?

(Before Mr. Kerr.) ADVERTISING FOR CLERKS TO DEPOSITINIONEY,-CAUTION, This was a judgment summons, and the defendant, an elderly man, asked for time to pay the debt. Mr. Beard—This is a case in which, for the protection of the public, it is necessary that I should make some re marks. The defendant advertised for clerks, and required a deposit. My dent answered the advertisement, and handed a deposit of £5. He was in the office for three weeks, and could neither get anything to do,nor any wages. This sort of dealing has been exposed before, and I believe some of the newspapers refuse to accept such advertise ments. My client is not disposed to shew defendant any mercy. Defendant urged that he should have time. Mr. Beard—Why, he has actually ae, vertised during the present week, and my client has expended as much as 345. in following up this case. His Honour—l do not see how I can extend time to the defendant. Defendant—l can pay the debt by instalments. Mr. Beard—• But lam quite sure that his Honour will not consider this to be a case for such a course. I might use very strong language in this case. His Honour--I cannot grant any further time. 1 shall commit defendant for ten days, and allow the warrant to lie in the office for a week. Committed for ten days. BRITISH POSSESSIONS.

THE FEDERAL HOSPITALS, A correspondent of a Federal journal, the St. Louis Re publican, writes from the Federal camp opposite Vicksburg upon the 28th of February in the following words :—" To ismore longer the terrible condition of our army before Vicksburg cannot but be fatal. Unless the truth be spread before the country, before long the brave army of the Mississippi will be destroyed, and the world will stare to think that it has been cruelly, shamefully murdered by our own neglect. You must know that we have much sickness —too much. The warm, moist, murky atmosphere, the muddy ground, the worse quarters on board steamboats, the hard fare, and the swollen river are of themselves suf ficient to produce numerous dim-es ; but these unfavour able conditions are rendered worse by the wretched in efficiency of the surgeons, the actual cruelty of their assist ants, and in a great measure by the want of suitable food for the men. The number of sick now here cannot be esti mated readily, as they are so scattered. One-sixth of the army is on the sick list. The admissions to hospitals are 300 a day. They were greater, but now give signs of de creasing. From 30 to 50 a day have died within the last month. That rate, of course, could not be long endured without destroying the entire army. The cruelty of our hospitals (so called) transcends any torture ever devised for criminals. The principal hospital for the camp, before the arrival of the new hospital boats from above, was a collec tion of negro quarters, situated at the upper edge of the camp on a small bayou known as Ballard's Huts. There are about 40 of them, and in these huts were confined about 400 patients, all huddled together in a noxious, dark, noisome, filthy atmosphere—the dead, the dying, and the invalid in one common lot. There is literally nothing anywhere to be seen which gives an idea of a hospital, unless it be a row of newly-made graves not far distant. The 'nurses' as they are called, by a stretch of language, consist of about 70 men detailed for that purpose from various regiments. They are without system, without medicine, and seemingly without hope or in'erest in their work. Perhaps this is not entirely due to a want of heart, but to the apathy and general reck lessness of the place, the very bad example of the surgeons, who go off and remain away as if indifferent to the welfare of their patients, if, indeed, they had not as soon have them dead as be troubled with them living. These are weighty words, but we speak with due caution. In these same huts a poor man was found, who had been lying on the hard floor with nothing under him but half of his coarse blanket for three weeks. During this time the surgeon had been treating him for typhus fever, but the stranger dis covered that the man's back and spine were in a state of gangrene mortification, unknown to the surgeon. Pass ing through the wards one day, a lady overheard this con versation between a surgeon and his assistant, A poor patient in great pain was groaning very loudly and conti nuously, when the latter called out at a distance, Say, can't you stop that noise ?' The former, sotto voce, put in, If he does not stop it soon I'll fix him.' Next morning the man was dead, although the nature of his wound did not presage such a fate. The impression left on my mind was that which will occur to the reader, un natural as it may sound. Let us hope that it is an erro neous one, though there are facts leading to the dark, dole ful belief that there are men so debased, so fiendish, as to send the soul of a patient to its eternal home rather than be annoyal over their cups by the cries from his pain -racked body. We have no need to allude to the coarse, brutal, profane, and offensive language used by some of the sur geons, but kicks are sometimes dealt to the sick. The nurses take example from them. The neglect is infectious, un at last all concern for the sick comes to be looked on in the light of an unmanly and obsolete proceeding. We are asked who is responsible for these things ? It is difficult to put a finger on any one responsible for all, for each in turn points to his neighbour as the culprit, or to the regulations, until we have come to consider the latter as the cunningest de vice for slaughter and torture ever conceived. The massacre of lives, of hearts, of hopes, the consequent sacrifice of valuable soldiers and military advantage is enormous. If possible, it is more damaging to the cause than the blun derings of Generals, for it is their greatest, though most unnoticed blunder. It is a severe battle when 1,000 men are needlessly killed, but here is a steady drain of thou sand, half of whom might be saved. Incredible as it may seem, it is here a proverb that "It is easier to have a grave dug than to be troubled with writing de- scriptive rolls and discharges.' There is a discharge, an honourable but mournful discharge, which comes to them too soon. But discharges on earth the men cannot get when disabled. When this is procured, there is transportation, then rations, then various papers from one commander to another. The labour of getting them is a task for a sound man. How must it be for a tottering, sinking, helpless invalid ? Many a man's heart has broken in the attempt. Many another, after spending days of pain and moments o; insult, finds there is some trifling informality, and it is al] to go over again. God help these nameless martyrs I" SHIPPING—This Day.

THE BIOGRAPIIY OF A THIEF.—On Thursday, William Graham. alias Campbell, aged 30, was charged, at the Thames Police Court, with having stolen a purse containing 12 or 14 shillings from the wife of a me chanic, living in Shadwell. Ihe theft was fully proved as having taken place on the evening of the 24th ult. at the Stepney railway station.—Police-constable Dunaway said that in 1843, when the prisoner was only nine years of age, he was convicted of stealing a purse and money from a lady. His father was convicted at the same time of feloniously receiving the property,' knowing it to have been stolen. The boy had been in custody before, and he was sentenced to six months' hard labour. His father was sentenced to seven years' transportaion, and died shortly afterwards in prison. In 1853 the prisoner was tried for stealing from the person, and sentenced to three years' penal servitude. On that occasion 15 previous convictions for felony were proved against him. In 1858 he was again con victed of stealing from the person, and sentenced to five years' penal servitude, He was liberated with a ticket of leave in the early part of 1862, A few weeks afterwards the prisoner, was summarily convicted at the Mansion House, and sentenced to six months' hard labour, for stealing a watch. On the expiration of that sentence he was arrested by order of the Home Secretary, and sent back to the Millbank Penitentiary to complete his five years' penal servitude. He was liberated on the 9th of last month. He had been living since his liberation from the Millbsnk Prison in a tieves's colony in Bethnal Green. A letter from an old thief was found on the prisoner. it commence by expeessing the regreet of the writer that his brother Andy had got another three months' hard labour, that two of his friends had been ta ken to Ne t wgat, and that they ran the risk of having 10 servi tude, if n.,t more. The writer added, '' I years' penal p n e o n t a been up the lane (Petticoat Lane) with any swag (stolen property) for two weeks, but for all that lamb progressing and I expect Poll and Bo b a fewwill b e able to go cut with me days " Besides the 17 and graft (pick pockets) in convietiona mentioned by Dunaway, the prisoner had been convicted on four or five other occasions. He was com mitted for trial. it sitting of the French International Telegraphic Commisaion was held yesterday at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, M. Drouyn de Lhuys presiding.

The Ross creditors of the Old Bank, Hereford, and the Ross and Archerfield Bank Ross, which suspended payment on the 13th ult., met yesterday to receive a report ; Mr. Luckes, the manager of the Ross branch of the Gloucestershire Banking Company, presided; and a statement was submitted by Mr. Turquand, of the firm of Coleman, Tur quand, Your ge, and Co., of London, showing liabili ties amounting to £146,822, and nominal assets for £119,795. Mr. Turquand, however, explained that, although a dividend of about 16s. in the pound was thus apparent, the creditors must not assume that such a dividend will be realised, having regard to the heavy amount of debts which are taken as good, the result of the collection of which it is impossible to foretell; and also to the very large amount of property to be disposed of. He had carefully consi dered the matter, and entertained very little doubt that, under judicious management, the estate ought not to realise less than 12s. or 13s. in the pound, with a possibility of something beyond that amount. The profits of the bank from Oct., 1854, amounted to £20,800, of which one moiety, or £10,300, has been carried to a guarantee fund, and the remaining moiety equally to the accounts of the two partners. The deficiency of the bank amounts to £39,000, about £30,000 of which has been occasioned by the defalcations of a clerk in the Hereford branch, which, it appears, must have continued for a consi derable number of years, commencing as far back as 1854, but which were not discovered until Feb ruary, 1862. The remaining £9,000 is the amount of loss by bad and doubtful debts in excess of the reserve fund of £10,400. For the protection of the estate, it was considered necessary to file a petition in bankruptcy, but, after a full discussion, it was unanimoualy resolved that the proceedings in bank ruptcy should not be continued beyond the choice of assignees, and that the necessary formal steps should be taken at the approaching meeting to be held in the B Ankruptcy Court at Birmingham, to carry out the views now arrived at.

ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE. The Civil Tribunal of the Seine yesterday gave judgment in an action brought by the heirs of Pier re Loustaunau, formerly generalissimo of the armies of the Mahrattas in the East Indies, against the - preeen tatives of M. Lepine, jeweller to Napoleon 1., to recover the sum of 600,000 f., the value of a ruby which General Loustaunau had intrusted for sale to M. Lepine. The plaintiffs also demanded damages to the amount of 200,000 f. In opening the case, the counsel for the plaintiffs gave a long account of the adventures of Pierre .Loustaunau, who was a native of a village at the foot of the Pyrenees, which he left when quite a young man, in 1777, during the excitement caused by the American War of Inde pendeece, with the intention of seeking his fortune in America. Not being able, however, to find a vessel for that destination, he took his passage to the East Indies, on board a ship carrying an envoy from the King of France, charged to conclude, with an East Indian potentate, an offensive and defen sive alliance against the English, end landed at a port in the Mahratta territory, not far from Born bay. The Emperor of the Mahrattes had just been assassinated, and two princes disputed the throne, one of whom was supported by the French and the other by the English. Loustaunan immediately determined to join the former, and obtained a let ter of recommendation from the French envoy. His offered services were declined on account of his youth. He then determined to serve as a volun teer, and in the course of the war he distinguished himself so much as to be intrusted with the com mand of a detachment, at the head of which he gained an advantage over the English, for which the Prince rewarded him with a horse richly capa risoned and a sum of 5,000 rupees. He afterwards obtained a high command, and greatly contributed to the successful issue of an important battle, during which he lost his left hand. He had a silver hand made to replace it, and the very first time he ap peared at the head of his troops with this new hand, an Indian priest, falling on his knees before him, declared that the will of fate was accomplished, for that an ancient prophecy had declared that the .111atiratta Empire would attain the highest degree of power when its armies should be commanded by a stranger from the far west with an invincible silver hand. From that time Loustounau was re garded as the first subject in the empire, and became generalissimo. He held that high post for 18 years, during which he amassed immense riches. The love of his native land, however, was still strong within him, and he resolved to return home. He accord ingly transmitted his fortune, amounting to about 8,000,000 f., to France through a merchant of Chan dernagoe, and soon after took his departure receiv ing as a farewell g if t f rom the prince the very ruby for ery of which th ese proceedings were in stituted leaving I n di a hi s good fortune aban doned hriete Onv ,for, after n arrow l y escaping shipwreck, the co he arrived in France to find that his eight millions, which had been converted into assignats, were then worth only 220,000 f. With this remnant he bought some ironworks near the Spanish frontier, but his establishment was destroyed, in 1808, by Spanisle guerillas. He then came to Paris to sell his germ, and intrusted the ruby in question to M. Lepine. On his return to the Pyrenees, he was captured by some Spanish partisans and detained for a long time a prisoner in a small island of the Mediterranean, from which he at last escaped by swimming to a passing vessel bound for the Levant. He landed in Syria, and there became insane, and was kindly treated by a wealthy merchant. He soon recovered his senses, but when he related his history, all who heard it thought him as mad as ever. He wrote to France, however, and was socn joined by his son, and both of them 'were intro duced to Lady Esther Stanhope, who, being ,3- clicied to astrology, took a liking to them, becatse she thought there was some mysterious connection between her star and Loustaunau's. The yoneg man died two years before Lady Stanhope, and at her death General Loustaunau was received into a French charitable establishment, where he remain c d till his decease. His representatives are now in the depth of poverty, and reclaim the deposit made by their ancestor. The counsel for the defendants admitted that the ruby had been intrusted to Lepine, but declared that when estimated by competent judges it was found to be worth only 6,000 f., at which price it had been purchased as a present for the Empress Josephine, and the proceeds had been paid either to Loustaunau himself or his creditors. Even had it not been so, the plaintiffs' claim could not be maintained, as it was barred by the statute of limitations. The tribunal took this view of tte case and rejected the plaintiffs' demand.— G nani's Messenger. A MISER'S CAREER. The extraordinary circumstances connected with he death of an old miser named Crepin, which ook place on the 11th August, 1858, in Lyons, are still undoubtedly fresh in the recollec tion of many of our readers. Crepin was an old bonhomme, from whom nobody would have with held a penny in the streets if he had asked for it, and who, if it had been offered, would certainly not have refused it. Having retired from business with about 100,000 f., which he had accumulated in the space of a few years, thanks to lucky and certain speculations of every description, he raised that sum to a fortune con siderably exceeding a million. But the great source of his riches was his sordid avarice, which even in duced him to tear down bills posted up on the streets in order to write his receipts upon the back, in stead of making use of stamps, as the law exacts ; and yet these receipts represented the rent of seve ral houses which brought him in a decent income. Dressed in a coat which a superb burnish of grease and dirt rendered proof against all weathers, and his head sheltered from sun and rain by a hat that outlived the storm of the first revolution, one would have taken him for a fugitive pauper. But every one residing in his quarter knew that he was the millionaire Crepin, possessing superb mansions in aeatghea the best quarters of Ly ons , t h e rent o f w hi c h he made his tenants pay ni ne mon th s i n a d vance , w bile all were expelled—th e c l ause was i nser t e d in the agreement in every case — w h o requ i re d a ny repairs to be done.

After the trial jhe pro perty was of course sequestered. But on the day the verdict was given the heirs of Crepin com menced proceedings in the civil court to hove the will revoked, and M.

AMERICAN IRON -CLADS.—In the engagement at Charleston three types of iron-dads were repre sented—the Monitors, with their laminated armour; the Keokuk, with her sandwich armour of it on and wood ; and the high-sided Ironsides, with her solid plate. The Moni tors received little damage, the Keokuk was pierced throu g h and through, as if it had been pasteboard, and tho plates of the Ironsides were cracked.
