TRIAL FOR MURDER IN FRANCE On the 27th c,f March last, lime. Sauval, a widow in • the 88th year of her age, living at 1 ettt-as lontrouge, was foiled dead in her a i iartment, with a severe wound on the hatk of her head, and other contusions and and bruises about her person, which led to a suspicion that she had b. en eeirdered. She resided in an apart ment of the house f a married min with two children, named Sauluier, a el , :rk in the Marie of the Ist ron dissernent of Paris, who, in consideration of I,ooofr. paid by her to him, granted her an annuity of 100 f. a year, hich acs paid by him partly in giving her the apartment at the rate of OK a year, although it was we'l nth 250 f. per anemia, and in regularly handing to her the remaining 401. in cash. The Saulnier who were veil old frends of the deceased, were her only attendsnts, as she had no servant, and also supplied her gr anitonsly with fruit or vegetables from their gar. den. They, however, had every reason to believe that they wou'd be more than remunerated by her will, as slit was known to have at her dsposal some little property de rived from her savings. This iiitart•st in her death and the ether circuals an .es we are about to relate, first induced a suiefici:n that el e had been murdered by Madame Saul. nier, at he ire tigation, or at least with the knowledge aria cot nicance, ef her husband. They were arrested, exami nations we, e taken, and, finally, they were committed to take their trial !'or wilful murder, which commenced on iday last before the Court of Assizes, and was con tinued till Sunday n;ght. The prosecution was con ducted yM. Giantlaz, the Advocate-General, and the prisoners were defendel by Messrs. Crtitnieux and Blot- Duquesne. The facts and circumstances on which the accusation was founded and supported were, in aedition to the kn een i :ter, st the prisoners had in the death of Mme. Sauval, that rib( w ten on the morning of the fatal day, Mnna Sauval went out of her apartment into the village, and bought some salad and a bundle of wood, which latter purchase a lad carritd home immediately aft refuels, end sawed into eisces in her presence in her dinhg-r. - em, and then 1 ft her ; since which time she wits net seen outside of her door, nor was any stranger seen to enter her apartmait. About half-past two o'clock Arne. Ssulnir sent ;her daughter, a girl twelve years old, up :o Mme. Sauval, who lived on th first floor, to thr. ad her needle cceording to custom, and asked whether she wanted anything, but ahhaugh the girl knocked so lOWd that some of the other tenants came out of their rooms to inquire what was the matter, no answer was given by Mm Sauval, nor d'd her little deg bark, as it usually aid on such occasions. At five o'clock her girl, Estlur Saulnier was sent up again, made the same noise, but still without any answer. Soon afterwards, Mine. Saelii7er went down to the porter; and requested him to co ne and see what had happened to Mine. Sauval, as she, Mine. Saulnier, could perceive through a window that she was lying on the floor of her dining-room Ilaving received from Mine. Saulnier a second key of Mine. Sauval's outer door, which she always kept that she might enter when she pleased, Lereux the porter went in and found the poor old woman lying lifeless, but still warm, on the flour of the dining-room, with her head against a chest of drawers in a small pool of blood, which had issued from a wound at the back of the skull. Mine. Saulnier took no steps whatever on hearing this report from Lereux but waited till the return of her husband, who went to the proper authori ties to give the usual notice of the death, preparatory to the interment, but as he stated the circumstances of the case, the msgistrate cause d a regu'ar inquest to be taken. The medical man called in to make the autopsy of the body reported that the death must have been caused by blows with a blunt instrument, for, independent of the wound in the head, there were other injuries about the per son, which not only proved this, but showed that the de ceased! d made so - ne resistance. In various parts of the apartment were found money, and securities for money, and also a smell quantity of plate, in situations evidently chosen by the deceased, nor was there the slightest tokens of any robbery having been committed. There were no marks or blood on the face, or any other part of the person or clothes of the deceased, nor even upon the cap, which was found on her head, and, there for e, on the conviction of .a murder having been perpe trated, it was presumed that the guilty person had chanud the dress of the deceased after the deed was done, having first washed away all the blood, which must have been shed on the floor, except the compara tively small quantity th it was near the bead, and then laid the body in the position in which it was found, in order to give the idea that Mme. Sauval had dropped down in a fit, and killed herself by striking her head against the drawers. It was reported that the deceased had shown discontent at being so far from her friends in Paris, and intimated an intention to remove, and this was imputed to the Saulniers as an additional motive for their cruel act, fearing that her Paris friends might induce her to alter her will, and thus deprive them of the benefit they expected from it. It was further declared that the statement of Mine. Saulnier that she had seen the deceased lying on the floor of her dining- room was false, as it was, from the situation of the two apartments, impossible. In the course of the cross-examination of the witnesaes much of this presumptive evidence was coinple•ely rebutt..d, and much rendered at least very doubtful. On the part of the prisoners it was shown that none of the clothes of the deceased, supposed to have been worn by her when killed, had been found, nor could there be traced the slightest bruise or scratch on the person of Mate. Saulnier, from the struggle which the medical men stated must have taken place when the deed was dune,, nor the smallest spot of blood upon any of the garments of Mine. Saulnier which she had on at the time ; nor was it attempted to be proved by any evi thrice that she had quieted her own apartment from the time when Mme. Sauval returned with .the wood till the discovery of her death. Mane. Saulnier accounted for her not giving her daughter the second key, to go into tile deceased's apartment, by affirming that this key was never used but when Mme. Sauval was too ill to come and open the door herself. It was further proved that the de ceased was liable to fits, lied fallen down in them before, and had been kindly and attentively nursed by Mine. Saulnier. A number of witnesses gave most excellent characters to both the prisoners, and the notary, who made tl , e deceased's will, distinctly deposed that, whatever they might have expected, neither the Saulniers nor any one else knew the dispositions she had made of her pro perty, and that whst she did give to that family was for the children, and not to either of the parents. Notwith standing the t vidence for the prosecution was so much weakened and shaken, the Advocate-General stre insisted in his requisitory that the case was proved, and called for the conviction of both prisoners. The counsel fur M. and Mine. Saulnier exerted themselves with great zeal and judgment in their behalf throughout the arduous proceedings of three long successive days, and delivered most eloquent addresses to the jury. The pleadings and summing up of the President were not concluded till half-past ten o'clock on Sunday night, when the jury retired, and after remaining half an hour, returned and delivered a verdict of Net Guilty in favour of bath prisoners upon every count of the indictment.— Galignani.

We cannot grow it for that price. We think in all conscience we have been fattening the manufactures long enough. They have become over grown, and will be mighty hard to handle." We are re joiced that the farmers of Pennsylvania are learning wisdom from the " teaching of experience." That they are beginning to discover that a " protective" tariff is but a scheme for protecting the few by plundering the many. That the bounty conferrei upon the manufacturer and iron-master, by arti ficially raising the price of their productions one-third, is taken from the pockets of the farmer, by depreciating the prices of his produce in a like ratio. These are the "benign re,ults" of the present high tariff to the farmer, the immense agricultural int' rests of .New Pennsylvania can control the political power of those great States ; and by properly wield ing it, they coal I wipe.off from the statute. book the infamous system of legalised robbery under which they are now suffer ing.— Washington Constitution.

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing through or contiguous to the towns of Steyning, Pctworth, Mid hurst, Petarsfleld and Airesford) will join at the Andover Road sta tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton Manchester and Oxford Junction. An arrangement has been entered into with the latter Company, and it is proposed by means of their projected line, that the Brighton and Cheltenhatn Railway shall proceed through Mager- ford to Swindon. From Peterslleld a shot branch will be made to Chichester where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports mouth direct will inter+ect the line in its way to Portsmouth. From Swindon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and Southampton Railway to Chelt nham, ani the North of England by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or other existing and contemplated lines. On reference to the map, it will be seen that the primary object to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate connexion of the northern, western, and the whole of the manufac turing counties, and North and South Wales, with the southern coast and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, Hastings, and Dover. It is unnecessary to observe on the daily increasing traffic between Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to Rouen, and theace to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means of the projected line, a direct communication with France, either from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern counties of England. . It is obvious that with these advantages the traffic must neces sarily be large, the line passing through the centre of Sussex, con taining a population of about 300.000, .at present almost devoid of railway accommodation. Power will lse applied for in the Act to increase the capital, f necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches therefrom as maybe deemed necessary also for the purposes of amal gamation with other Companies, should the same be found desirable. The Company reserves to itself the option of adopting the broad or narrow gauge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, if preferable. No further call beyond the deposit will be made until the Act shall be obtained. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties locally interested, and to the shareholders in the lines with which this Company will be connected. Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and to the following Sharebrokers, of whom prospectuses, with maps of the line, may be obtained:—London—Messrs.

The sur ve y s have been made by Sir John Mac neill and Janice Thompson, Esqe and the country is found to be fa. vourable to time construction of a railway, and to require neither tun nels nor heavy embanaments • and there is, perhaps, no line of such importance which could be constructed at comparatively so small an expense as the sum named in the estimate. The length of the line will be but about thirty-nine miles; and by means of this short link, in connexion with existing projects from Nottingham, a saving will be effected between Leeds and the metro polis exceeding thirty miles. It will commence at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, Pon tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence proceed through Doncaster, Tickhill, and Worksop, to the terminus of the NottLgham, Mansfield, and 'Midland Counties Railway, at Mansfield ; thereby completing, by means of the York and North Midland Rail way, the shortest mute from York to Nottingham and London. It will also, by the proposed extension line of the Wakefield, Pontefract and Goole, from the York and North 3ildland, near Methley, form the nearest line between Leeds. Nottingham, the Midland and South ern Counties, and by the Goole and Doncaster line, an u n i n t errupte d communication with Goole and time shipplug ports of the Humber.

At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and it restrains for the engineer to select one as an entrance or passage into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by Corwen into the Vale of the River Alwen, from whence it will run nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mail-coach-road, by Pentre voeias to Capel Cerr7g, It will then descend the Vale of .tisurt Francon O Bangor and Holehead. This line win in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most coast siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol; the Oxford, Worcester, and IVolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and the South Statronishire Railway. As this last line will connect Dudley, Bilston, • Wednesbury, Walsall, and Lichfield with the Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of bring ing all those important centres of the coal and iron trade and other' trail - lc, and the vast coal and iron fields of Nhropshire into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and Birmingham. .• The success of the undertaking is secured beyond a doubt, by the obvious fact that fa will not only bring the richest mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro duce of these districts the intermediate country not at present pos sessed of any direct line of railway communication. On the other hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will give to London and the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other exist ing railroad ; and finally, enable travellers to complete the entire distance in ten hours. It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day. UP to the Point where the line approaches Corwen, no engineering difficulties tire presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight line may be requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line will be. resumed to Bangor, where that already in construction will be ae.opted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if found de sira'ale, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent Beaumaris to Holyhead. After a careful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers, ti as conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct I .ransmission of the mails, the Directors fed warranted in anticipating a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested. I A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may be booked throughout from London to Dublin, inetudiag all the inter mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance in ten hours, without the incon7enbace so painfully felt of changing from the conveyance of one preyrieta - y to that of another. The railwais now in active pr. gross in Ireland, running from Dublin north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self evident that the chain of communication between the sister countries is, by this present undertaking, refalc•red at once complete and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of this Company is to save time and distance, every attention of the Directors, and every advancement in science wilt be made available to gaits the utmost possible amount of speed, com patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ; while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for both passengers and traffic, and the pnblic will find in the improvement of the infer:or carringtv, and some additional comforts for those of the first class, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and la all its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise so national in its character. Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per a•snum on the amount of the subscriptions paid up; and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not beyond the amount of his subscription.

The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway Company, having completed the whole of their arrange ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of the finpliCations for shares in their line, have had their attention forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative con nexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester. The advantages, in point of speed, to be derived from the broad gauge, vs also the superiority of the gradients obtained by the route of the Valey of the Avon, together with the importance of placing the city of Salisbury on the main think line from the north to South ampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of the Legis lature and the local support of the towns and districts through which the line will pass. Besides forming a direct communication with the great manufac turing towns in the north, the Salisbury and Swindon Extension wilt make a complete line of railway between Southampton, Salisbury, and all parts of North and South Wales. After most mature deliberation, the Directors have resolved to re commend to their shareholders and the public the immediate carry ing out of a railway to effect the above object, which will be most desirable as a completion to their owit line, and highly advantageous in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, .Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal gamation of both lines under one management. In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares. as also to parties locally interested, due regard being at the same tirrn, had to public interest; and every original shareholder in that line may, on production of his scrip certificate, receive an allotment of a similar number of Salisbury and Swindon Extension shares. The holders of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Wey mouth shares, will also have a preference. Applications may be made, in the following form, to the Provisional Committee, at the Offices of the Company, 26, Gresham-street, the solicitors, the local agents, or to the principal brokers i■ town and country.

The imperative necessity, alike in a social, commercial, or political point of view, for drawing as closely together as possible the capitals of England and Ireland, has suggested the formation of the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Hallway,--a line, the value of which it is difficult to over estimate, since it will be ibund to take a nearly direct course from the English metropolis to 11°13-head. It will pars through 'or near the populous and nob le county town of Shropshire (as yet unprovided with railway comu, and will traverse along its whole extent districts second in wealth, re sources, trade, and commerce, to none in the empire ; bring them more nearly and immediately in contact with London and Dublin, than has hitherto been thought possible. This project is wholly in dependent of any other Ene already before the public, and as it possesses national advantagt.s which none can surpass, must, when carried out, become, without exceptio:, the most important railway in Great Britain. One of the first objects of this Company will be to obtain a most central and accessible terminus in London, and Farritigdon-street has been fixed upon for that purpose. It is proposed to make a Unmet from that point to the Great Western FORM OF APPLICATION. To the Provisional Directors of the Grand London and Dublin - Approximation Railway Company. Gentlemen,—l request you will allot me shares of W.V. each in this undertaking, and I hereby agree to accept the same, or any less number that may be allotted to me, and to pay the deposit thereon, and sign the Parliamentary Contract and Subscribers' Agreement when required.
