Arrangements have been made with the different Canal Proprietors for the transit. of the Coal at reduced rates of tonnage; and the Company will be enabled to deliver to their Shareholders in London, at all seasons of the year, the very best quality of Coals at 225. 6d. per ton, leaving an ample return for the Capital embarked.

From James Blundell, Esc( , : " I have now tried for some time the Messrs. ,i:ilomons invented Spectacle Lenses, and have experienced much benefit ; they are far preferable to my vision than any other Lens ; the relief is very great, in particular by candlelight, and in course of use for a length of time the clearness of the transparency brings every object very distinct; they can be fully appreciated only by those who, like myself; may stand in need of them. " JAMES BLUNDELL, M.D. " No I, Great George-street, Westminster." " We, he undersigned, have been for some time making use of Messrs. Solomons' newly invented Spectacle Lenses ; the astonishing relief they afford to imperfect vision gives them the decided prefer ence to every other kind of Lens—the clearnesi of the transparency brings every object very distinct, and enables individuals to view the most minute particle with perfect accuracy. They are particularly pleasant by candle light, as they appear cooling to the sight, and soften bright and brilliant lights : George G. Sigmond, Esq , 24, Dover-street. J.

Two of the Bish Ts who died in Calcutta were said to have sacrificed themselves to ab stinence, carried to too great an extent.

Many persons are afraid to touch fruit, which nevertheless may be eaten in moderation with advan tage. A certain quantity of stimulant seems absolutely necessary, taken in the shalie of wine, beer, or weak brandy and water, but every body should discourage as much as possible the habit of drinking between meals ; iced water is to many persons a pleasant and a wholesome stimulant ; soda-water, taken in moderation, is also very agreeable and salutary; and occasionally a tea-spoonful of sal-volatile in a tumbler of cold water will be found beneficial. The native servants prepare many kinds of sherbets of the most palat able description, but it is advisable to partake very spar ingly of them ; a wine-glassful of milk punch in a tumbler of cold water forms a refreshing drink, the small quantity of spirit contained preventing the acid from disagreeing. Beer is a good thing in moderation, but should not be drunk between meal`; it is difficult when thirst is excessive to refrain, but it should be borne in mind that the means em ployed are never adequate to the end, encouraging rather thawpreventing the evil : those who drink frtquently soon . finding their thirst unquenchable.

INDUSTRY WITHOUT REWARD• The saddest aspect the decay of civic society can exhibit, has always appeared to me to be this, when h on ourable, honour-loving, conscientious diligence can not, by the utmost efforts of toil, obtain the necessaries of life ; or when the working man cannot even find work, but must stand with folded arms, lamenting his forced idleness, through which himself arid his family are verging to starvation, or, it may be, actually suffering the pains of hunger.—Thomas Carlyle s New Work. [l s n ot, then, civic society decaying in Britain ? Alas! how many goed men are there here that at the age even of threescore years have to stand begging to a brother worm for work, and not even getting leave to toil themselves to their graves f or b rea d? But we had forget—there is, the Poor-law—yea, and there is a work house to boot. Both are a disgrace to any land. There should be no legal provision for the poor, simply be cause there ought to be no poor that chance charity could not relieve. It is a foul blot on the escutcheon of any nation, that there is Such a thing as habitual poverty to any extent that uncompelled benevolence could not amply provide .for. Bat if there be laws which rob labour of its reward, tax it's bread, force it into the workhouse, and burden it with the support of the rich out of it's scanty earnings, why then the legal provision for men so used and oppressed should be one he has earned 'a right to demand ; it should be rendered pleasant to him ; it should be anything but degrading or disgusting. It is an equivalent for work done—not a charity—it is a small return out of the 100 per cent. which aristocracy charges democracy for bread. There is no apology whatever for a new Poor law, with a Corn-law. There is no reason for throwing the poor on their own resources so long as the rich are not left to theirs. Nay, even so long as there is a bread-tax, the labourer is 'not thrown on his own re sources, but forced to work six hours for himself, and six out of every twelve in each day for that lord or squire who has the impudence to tell him to depend entirely upon himself.—Anti-Com-law Circular.] A PERSIA rsi PRINCE'S IMPRES- SIONS OF ENGLAND. The following curious impressions of England and its inhabitants ate extracted from a translation of a journal of one of the Persian Princes, who visited this country in 1836, in order to prevail upon our Government to oppose the accession of the reigning Shah. The translation is printed for private circulation, but in justice to the lovers of the marvellous, it ought to be made as public as possible : DESCRIPTION OF THE ROAD FROM FALMOUTH TO LONDON. " From the time that we left Falmouth till we arrived at London, we did not see a span of earth uninhabited. In all places along the roads and streets we observed me❑ and women walking arm in arm ; also coaches and carriages, in which there were ladies like the houris, running in every direction ; every moment increased our surprise as we advanced. Even the peasants that dwell in villages have lofty and beautiful houses ; outside of every house there are beautiful gardens, adorned with very fine flowers, where ladies splendidly dressed take their walks. All the time of our travels in this coun try, our eyes did not see a single handbreadth of earth but all covered with delightful green, roses and all kinds of flowers guarded by the nightingales' singing, Such air and water are scarcely in the world, indeed what there is to be seen is enough to take away the senses. It is the first story of paradise, the majestic moon, the nightingales on the trees standing,with pride, the roses resemble the cheeks of the inhabitants. At length, all this night we went on, passing by gardens, edifices, and lights, there was no darkness at all. In all the roads, there are lanterns lighted, also the houses give out their lights from the windows, in short, our travelling in midnight was not less pleasant than that of midday." PUBLICATIONS.

We have heard a whisper that the aristocracy and squirearchy are anxious, if possible, to stretch the law a little, lay hold of some of the Anti-Corn-law lecturers, and, if possible, to present a bill for high treason against them, as certain of them volunteered to do at Chester against the Chartists. We can readily believe their wil lingness and eitorness to attempt such a folly, but we may laugh at their impotence.—Liverpool Chronicle. [We call these men moles, because they are blind, and dig in the earth. Our lecturers are the gins that catch them and bring them above ground into the light. Little wonder that these moles should howl most dismally about the evils of traps, and call for protection against those who would bring them out of the dirt into the sunshine, to show the world what hideous, misshapen, blind, but plump and comfortable worm-fed beings — they are. This is, we assure our Contemporary, nothing new. The Magistrates at - Louth t'Petily talk of the high treason of Mr. Smith, and of the propriety of committing him for trial. At Hun tingdon the very same thing occurred, and at Cam bridge it was very currently understood that warrants had actually been 4W. for his apprehension. Un fortunately, it was " orralk and no cider." Had they really done any thing, and the grand jnrY returned a true bill, all or any of our lecturers would 'certainly have conducted their own defence; and woe be to the landlords if these gentlemen had once got their mouths opened in a public Court, With twelve honest English men for their judges. If the squirearchy would not have been flayed alive, and held up to the scorn and detestation of the whole empire, we have much mis taken the sort of stuff our lecturers are made of.] — Anti-Corn-law Circular. By letters from Salonica of the 23d ult., it does not appear that any of the six emissaries sent by the Pacha or Egypt , had been arrested by the Ottoman authorities. The Pacha of Janina having refused to receive them, they re-embarked on board the Egyptian brig on the 17th and svt sail for Alexandria.. Among these emissaries was Me hemet Bey, the commander'Of one of the brigs of war of the Turkish fleet, who was the bearer of a letter of the Capitan Pacha to Mustapha Pacha, which was seized, to gether with the other despatches for the Pachas of Routce- Ha, and forwarded by the steam-packet Hissair Hair. Ou the 27th ult. all the English officers who had obtained leave to visit Constantinople were ordered to join the fleet, which, it was thought, would shortly quit Be.hika Hay. Its further destination, however, was unknown. They embarked the same evening in the packets Tancrcdi and Maria Dorothea.

The following anecdote, of which I was an eye-witness, will serve to show his charac ter happened to be on guard one day, when General Craufurd came riding in from the front, with his orderly dragoon, as was his usual custom, when two of our men. one of them a corporal, came running out of a house with some bread, which they had stolen from the Spaniards, followed by a Spanish woman, crying lustily "Laslrone I ladrone 1" (" thief 1 thief I") They were immedißtely, pursued by the General and his orderly; the bread was given back to the woman, and the men were p laced in the guard-house. The next day they were trie d by a brigade court-martial, and brought out to a wood near the town for punishment. When the brigade was formed, and the brigade-major bad finished resding the proceedings of the Court-martial, General Craufurd commenced lecturing both men and officers on the nature of their cruelty, as he said, to the harm less inhabitants,. as he called the Spaniards. lle laid particular stress on our regiment, who, he said, committed more crimes than the whole of the British army. " Be sides, you think," said he, " because you are riflemen, and more exposed to the enemy's fire than any other regi ments, that you are to rob the inhabitants with impunity ; but while I command you, you shall not." Then turn ing round to the corporal, who stood in the Centre of the square, he said, with a stern voice, " Strip, sir." The Corporal, whose name was Miles, never said a word until tied up to a tree, when, turning hi s head round as far as his situation would allow, an d seein g the General pacing ' up and down the square, he said, " General Craufurd, I The Gen era l rep li e d , " N o, hope you :will _ forgive me." Sir, your Clinic is too great." The poor corporal, whose sentence was to be reduced to the pay and rank of a private soldier, and to receive a punishment of 150 lashes, and the other man 200, then addressed the General to the following c a entre, out of which effect Do you recollect, Sir, when you and I were taken prisoners, when under the command of General White means of canteen lock, in Buenos Ayres? We were marched prisoners, pound, surrounded I parted my last bis. prisoners like you en, o would never sh w l ty i rd t aa h rposw a wal n lw u l c. m aoti b el : e rr : htwee o idr f t ehfwrmoamys others,atrnhwteeoes well sort hwb o ey f h were s d a cnike— cult with for get my kindness to you. It is now in your power, Sir. Yon know how short wee ave been of rations for some time. These words e spoken by the corporal in a mild and respectful a ccent, which affected not only the Y y o o u u. sat y o o n u General, but the whole square. The bugler, who stood 11 :11 y e the n n t a o p l waiting to commence the punishment close to the corporal, received the usual nodfrom the bugle-major to begin. The first lash the corporal rec eived the General started, a n d turn ing hurriedly round, said, " Who taught that bugler to II I,t ? Send him to drill —send him to drill ! He cannot flog—he cannot flog—stop, stop! Take him down! take him down I I remember it well—l remember it well !" while he paced up and down the square, muttering to himself words that I could not catch; at the same time blowing his nose, and wiping his face with his handkerchief, trying to hide his ermition, that w a s s o evident to the whole b square. A dead silence prevailed for some time until our gallant General recovered a little his 'noble feeling, when he uttered. with a' broken accent, " Why does a brave soldier like you commit these crimes ?" Then beckoning to his orderly to bring his h orse , he mounted and rode off. It is needless to say that the other man was Also pardoned, and in a few days the corporal was restored to his rank...- 0 Memoirs of Edward Costello," United Service Journal. INN AT EXETER. " A wonderful lofty building ; consisting of many rooms which are royally furnished. These rooms have places for washing, the hot water was quite ready placed on the wash-hand table, standing before large looking glasses, and towels hanging down exceedingly clean, with perfumed articles and fine soap. Every traveller is shown to a room to himself, attended by a servant. In every room there is a splendid bedstead with every thing belonging to it ; ink and pen, with fine paper, are placed on a table, for the convenience of travellers. Fine looking women also serve here, and everything is most desirable. The rooms for eating are separate from the bed-rooms ; where there are fine large tables. furnished with all sorts of eatables, both cooked and uncooked ; everything that you may desire and ima gine is Owed on the table. Many people were sitting round the tables taking their breakfast, others reclining on the sofas. We were quite astonished at this house, and asked whose it was, and we were informed that it belonged to an individual whose business is to entertain strangers and travellers ; and as he knows the time that the mails come in, all things are made ready for travel lers to take their breakfast, that no time may be lost. Moreover, we were informed that there are in this city about five thousand such public places ; each of them gains' about 1,000 tomans per day ; indeed the money here is like dust." SIGHT - OF A LADY AT BATH. " While we were sitting, when it was about the as ser, behold ! a sun appeared from our east, shining and flashing. On seeing this incomparable beauty, and be holding this lovely face like the full moon, I lost my senses, not to say that I lost my sight, in admiration. No, my eyes, by beholding her smiling, became a hundred times more powerful. The delightful odour of her hair fell into my heart, and Iwas obliged to rise up and to invite her to sit by my side, paying her all honourable respect. My heart died away, and unless my mind had gained strength to maintain conversation with this visitor, I should have appeared as if I were lost. I asked who she was. This full moon was the daughter of a captain in the East Indies." THE OPERA. " It is a very lofty edifice, built in a wonderful manner. From the roof of it to the ground, on the three sides round, there are small rooms made of wood, these they call boxes ; these rooms or boxes are elegantly dressed up with woollen cloth and velvet ; before every box there are forty chandeliers of cut glass, each has fifty lights ; there are also lights in every. part of this house. The forty chandeliers (Ant glass, each containing forty lights, and each light of five branches, as well as the other rights, have one pipe, which, by touching an instrument, all the thousands of lights suddenly become dim, so that you scarcely see anything ; and by moving the instru ment differently, they as suddenly give a powerful light. There are young ladies with faces like the full moon, the beauty of whom makes the illumination of the sun dark ; and a company of young men, whose beauty ob scures the sun. ,Seats are provided below for the musi cians ; they play with instruments which nourish the heart : the pen and the tongue are incapable of giving an adequate description of them. . . . There were in the boxes around more than a thousand young and beautiful ladies, splendidly dressed with jewels ; the beam of their beautiful faces illumines the place, the brilliancy of their sweet faces takes away the heart ; my whole soul cried out to leave the body, that it might go near those houris. The heart beats with the ravishment of that sight. There are also distinguished places about this house, where are fine-looking women with arms like jasmine, and faces like a shining mirror ; these handsome young women sell refreshments, and on the whole this place seems to furnish the nourishment of life." ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. " There is no possibility of describing these strange and wonderful animals. For however they may be re collected in the mind or imagined in the head, these kinds of creatures cannot be described by the pen. There is to be seen an elephant twenty-four feet high, and his proboscis forty feet long ; this wonderful ele phant was brought from the extreme parts of the East India Islands, 'The tooth of this mountain-like beast stretches out like a long ivory promontory, and en the whole this animal presents a most frightful appearance. . . . There is also one of the wonderful amphibious animals of a curious form. It is as large as a horse, it was brought from the interior of Africa. It is a very beautiful creature. When it stands and walks, it very much resembles mankind. All kinds of baboons of wonderful sizes and forms. They act like human beings ; bears, white, red, green, yellow, and, indeed of all colours. Also a kind of monkey, which is of all the animals most like the human figure, the size of a mule, with an extraordinary long tail. These monkeys act like human beings, and, laugh won derfully, and play at chess with men, and some of those - that visit the gardens play with them. To day, 'a Jew happened to be at this place, and went to play a game with the monkey. The monkey heat, and began to laugh loudly, all the people standing round him. The Jew felt exceedingly ashamed, and was obliged to leave immediately. The most won derful animals of all, were a pair of creatures larger than an elephant., and higher than a camel, their necks are fourteen feet long, their legs are handsome, their tails are like that of an Arab horse of red colour, and with white spots on the face. They were brought from Africa, and their flesh is said to be excellent. They ;2 . 0 as fast as a gaze]. : all the world from England, Scotland, and Ireland, come to see them. There are also more than 80,000 kinds of birds : in truth, we do not know how ecen to write their names, to describe their colours is impossible. Some elephant birds just like an elephant, but without a proboscis. Their wings are about fifteen yards long. . . . Verily a visit to a / Aiwa like this brings to the mind the power of the Omnipotent. The eyes are dazzled, the mind is sur prised, the h art. is agitated, and curiosity takes its utmost fill. All this gives a most excellent opportu nity to the lover, to lead his favourite by the hand to show her this and that curiosity ; besides all the above, you will see beautiful moonlike ladies, led by the hand, to gaze at these wonderful spectacles, and repose under the delightful shade of the beautiful trees. In truth, unless the eye should see, the mind cannot form an idea 'Of this place." • VAUXHALL GARDENS. " In the evening we visited a large garden, beauti fully lighted up, and the fireworks that we saw here made us forget all others we had already seen. A gar den, a heaven, large, Adorned with roses of different colours in every direction, the water was running on the beautiful green, pictures were drawn on every wall. Here and there were young moonly faces sell ing refreshments. There were burning in this place about two millions of lights, each giving a different colour ; the lantern and lights are so aranged as to make poetry, in such a manner that they have no end. On every side there appeared the moon, and the sun, with the planets, each moving in its orbit ; and in every walk there were about 10,000 Frank moons, walking and gazing about, where the roses and the tribes were admiring their beautiful cheeks. Each was taken by the hand, such a company in such a place says to the soul, Behold thy paradise ! pleasure end joy appear ; woes and sorrows are banished ; —every hand asked for a glass of refresh ment to present to the possessors of jasmine hands. Thus we were happy to have in each hand a para. discan companion; and to point out the beauties of the place, in order to draw forth the sweet music of their replies ; we left the rose and met a pink ! are we awake.or in a dream ? We walked in this garden from one place to another, till we came to a place where we saw crowds of people gazing a' a boy, de , gently clad, who was playing on a rope; now we were as though we had lost our mind. This rope was made fast high above in the garden, on which this boy was dancing ; indeed, he was like a bird viith wings in the air. Afterwards a young and beau- PRICE sd. tiful girl, handsomely dressed, increased our surprise, she joined the boy, and they played together in a most wonderful manner, enough to take away the senses to look at them. When the boy and girl had finished their manosuvres, the people in the gardens went to another place, where there was a wheel which was set on fire. As soon as it was lighted it began to ascend, throwing out fire of red, green, blue, yellow, and other Colours wonderfully, as if a ll th e wor ld h a d t a k en fi re , and con tinued to a:ccnd till it reached the sky." SHIPPING IN THE THAMES. " The ships on this; river are like forests. The large men-of-war are 1,200 in number, some of which are of 120 guns ; these, besides the packets and steamers. The least of their navy carries thirty guns. British mercantile vessels are above 25,000, such is their extreme and extensive commerce. . . In fine, all the ships of other nations on the globe could not equal the number of the English ships alone, nor ten foreign men-of-war stand in battle against one Eng lish ; they have always been victorious over their ene mies. One-of the twelve vixirs of Government has the management of the navy ; he is called the High Lord of the Admiralty ; Lord Minto fills this high station at present. In his hand is the direction of the whole navy. Besides the above-mentioned ships, they have innumer able others in the West and East Indies, in America, and Australia, which are called out at the time of ne cessity. The water of the river Thames is very heavy, and not at all good for the digestion, nor could it ever produce an appetite. Yet the people of this 'country do not use water as a drink ; when it is necessary they take a little, once in three or tour days." ENGLISH LIBERTY. " Every person that has given ten tomans of the revenue, in case he should see anything wrong in its expense, has a right to rise up in the House of Com mons, and seize tbo Nazir of the Treasury by - -the col lar, saying, ' What have you done with my money?'" WINDSOR CASTLE. " This superior palace is situated in a garden, or park, fifty-two miles in circumference, which is sur rounded by a wall of iron bars about three yards and half high. The par k has forty gates, splendidly wrought, and through it runs several fine streams like rose-water, and its trees are most noble, producing a most beauti ful shade. The carriage -roads are so finely paved, that a person might take his repose upon them. Roses of every kind, and flowers of every hue, are in this park. Its land is green, like emerald, its prospect is pleasure to the eye. Gazelles, antelopes, and deers, are here in thousands. Pheasants, partridges, woodcocks, and game of every kind, abound, all of which are enjoying this delightful place. Nightingales, goldfinches, and their associates, keep with their sweet voices watch in this garden. It is naturally carpeted with a beautiful green velvet. My pen tells me, do not proceed ; lam incapable of describing it—it is Paradise. In one part of this Eden, there is a hill, two miles in circumference, on which the palace is built, it is about 2,000 yards in height, and affords a most beautiful view of the park. The mind cannot but be astonished at this splendid edi fice, whose description exceeds the power of human writers. . . Each of the Kings, for 200 years past, has had a separate palace in this castle, with distinct majestic splendour of sovereignty, as may be now seen, just as they were when these sovereigns occupied them. And whatever unique jewels each sovereign obtained during his reign are placed in his palace, with his statue, either of marble, jasper, or porphyry, seated on a jewelled throne ; so beautifully made, that you might say it is alive, and can speak. One statue of a former King cost more than 12,000 tomans. . . All his Ministers and officers of state during his reign have also statues placed by him in the room, each with arms of the age, and appearing as if they were alive. In the royal rooms of the late kings all are seated on their thrones and chairs of gold, embroidered with precious stones, which cost millions of minted gold ; each has his crown on his head of a hundred mauns.of solid pure gold, and adorned with precious stones, so magnificent as to take the senses away. These crowns are supported by chains of gold, and suspended over the heads of the sovereigns. We also noticed several rooms, three hundred feet long, and a hundred broad, all adorned with beautiful pic tures. These are for balls, where the King and Queen invite their noble guests ; the King himself dances, and the Queen also with whom she pleases. When such balls take place, the sounds of the musical instruments in these rooms is heard at a distance of twenty miles." DESCRIPTION OF THE ENGLISH. " The people of this kingdom are of genteel nature, and delicate constitution ; most of the ladies, and fe males in general, are more delicate and refined than the blossom of roses. Their waist is more slender than a finger ring, their form is beautiful, their voice gains the affections. The men are very particular in their disputes, which are carried on with great ability. If there should be the widest possible misunderstand- ing, still they keep up the rules of politeness. If it should rise so high as to produce vindictive feeling, still they carry on their disputes in a genteel style, and bad language (God forbid !) is not used. To be called a liar is the utmost insult ; this will lead to a due! ; the duel is allowed here."

A considerable number of persons had assembled to witness the interment of a woman who died rather suddenly, and they having followed the corpse into the vestry, the Rev. Luke Forster, the respected minister of the Chapel, gave an appropriate address previous to the interment. The Rev. Gentleman had just concluded, and the coffin was about to be re moved, when suddenly a part of the floor close to the spot where the bier was placed, and on which it is supposed between twenty and thirty persons were standing, fell in, ROBBERY.—Between Thursday se'nnioht and and precipitated those who were standing on that part of . the floor to the foundation of the vestry, a distance of be o Dromore, was broken into, an d t h ree - WiTuesday morning last, the office of Mr. W.

PARIS, SEPT. 15.—The extraordinary trial of the three Baraults and Hurel, at Chartres, for the murder of their relative, the widow Gautier, has just termi nated in an acquittal. These men were the nephews and great nephews of the murdered person, and were osupposedgettingt o r d h a w v f e a c o lifenmi a i t u t e n d u t t y li e w u s h r d e t r h f e b y r t h h a e d p t u o r pose pay to her in exchang e for some property, and to prevent her making a ne w w ill as she had threatened to do, dis inheriting them of the remainder. She was strangled in her bed and throw n i nto t h e river. In November of the last year they were t r i e d upon the charge of murder at Versailles, and the evidence being thought conclu sive, two of them were condemned to death, and the other two to hard labour at the Begne for life ; this clistenction being made on the supposition that Louis Barault, the son of one of the prisoners, and Hurel, the ) son-in-law of the other, had acted under the iiifluence of the nephews of the widow Gautier. Very little doubt was at the time entertained of their guilt, for it did not appear that robbery had been added to murder—from which it was inferred that only those who had a right to the succession could have committed the crime ; it was sworn that two of them, who pretended to have been in their beds on the night of the murder, were seen prowling about the spot, and that they had refused to answer some persons who accosted them, holding down their heads and concealing their faces. When the body was found in the river,one of them pointed out the place where the search was to be made, and was sworn to have been actively engaged in destroying the traces of footsteps, as if apprehensive of a discovery by com paring them with his shoes or those of one or more of his accomplices ; and it was also sworn that he had been frequently watching by the river-side, as if in anxiety lest the body should not have sunk to the bottom. One of the Baraults was a man of feroc'ous cha• racter, and the terror of his neighbourhood ; but the other was respected for his mildness and benevolence, and se veral witnesses were called to give evidence as to his good nature and humanity. Their evidence, how ever, produced no effect, for the President of the Court declared that nothing more was proved than that he was a consummate hypocrite. During the trial a distinguished phrenologist, who was in Court, declared that the committal of a crime like murder was totally incompatible with the organization of tnis prisoner, and wished to give evidence to this effect; but this wes not, of course, allowed, and the phrenoloa gist was, perhaps of all those who heard the trial, the only person who believed firmly in his innocence. After their condemnation, and whilst waiting for the execution of the sentence, they became acquainted with a man named Prevost, who had been condemned to the Bagne for life for murder. This man told told them that hb could prove their innocence, and demanded a sum of money for the performance of this act of justice. The offer was accepted, and Prevost wrote a letter to the Procureur du Roi, accusing himself and a man of in famous character, named Duchemin, of the crime. Having, in his self-denunciation, mentioned some corro borating circumstances, the execution of the sentence was arrested, and a new trial was appointed, which took place last week. On this occasion all the evidence against the Baraults was repeated, with; if possible, additional force, and it was shown that if the evidence as to an alibi was to be relied upon, Duchemin could not have been a party to the crime, and must have been denounced by Prevost from a feeling of vengeance, arising probably from some var.- ref in their previous connection. Prevost was more for tunate, however, in denouncing himself ; for although it had not appeared before that a robbery had been ef fected, and a bag of money was even left at the head of the bed, he was able to show that certain articles of wearing apparel as well as money had been stolen, and that he had given them to a mistress in whose possession they had been found, and which were positively sworn on the trial to have belonged to the widow Gautier. It was urged against the Barauks and Hurel, that they had suborned Prevost, yam was a:ready condemned for murder, and who at the worst could only exchange imprisonment for life at the Bagne for death, if found guilty of the murder of the widow Gautier ; whilst Prevost, who did not deny that he had demanded money, declared that on the present occasion, as on a former one when he had saved an innocent man from being condemned for forgery, he was actuated by a desire to save innocent persons from death or perpetual imprisonment. During the whole of the trial, Prevost pleaded like a counsel for the Baraults, and expressed in strong terms his de light when any evidence transpired inculpating himself. The innocence of the Baraults and of Hurel, in spite of a mass of false evidence inspired by the ha tred which one of them had created in his neighbour. hood, was acknowledged, and an acquittal was pro nounced, whilst Prevost was found guilty of the mur der ; but extenuating circumstances having, with the usual fiction of the French juries, to prevent capital punishment when there is no consanguinity in the par ties, been declared in his favour, his sentence remains just what it was previously for his other murder —viz., condemnation to the Bagne for life. This is perhaps one of the most extraordinary instances of the fallibility of human judgment on 'record ; four men, two of whom had been condemned to death, are restored to society after an imprisonment of 12 months or more, for a crime of which they were not gtiilty. A stronger argument than this in support of the aboli tion of capital punishment could not be given. If the accused parties had not met with Prevost in prison, a few days would have put two of them out of existence, and a day later would have prevented any revision of the judgment from being of use to them. The other two would, under such circumstances, have been restored to society, but Cere is no repentance for erroneous judgment in the guillotine. There is at this mumene at Gaillon, in Normandy, a poor fellow who was con demned to twenty years' of hard labour at the Bagne, for a crime for which he might have been sentenced to death. After nineteen years' imprisonment, a woman who was on her death-bed confessed that she committed the crime, and had denounced the man from a feeling of revenge at some slight which she had experienced. Her statement was found to be correct, and the poor fellow was set at liberty after nineteen years of misery and association of thieves and murderers. Human re tribution 11 iwever stopped here, for, although the vic tim had become old and feeble, and was unable to work for his bread, nothirre was done for him, and he is now a common beggar, eating the dry crust which is thrown to him by the hand of niggard charity,— Evening Paper.
