As' The President—Was not the conduct of M. de Bo carme very blameable as regards the females in his ser vice?—lt was rare for a young female to leave the cha teau as she entered it. Was not Justine Thibaut pressed by him in an impro pgx way ?—She told me that he had fastene d h er i n his broom, but that the wind made a door creak, and, fearing an alarm, he abandoner her. After the • judicial authorities had visited the chateau, did you not meet the Countess on the staircase?—After Lydie de B wo o u t r sA t ae h eas e trt boheopatdlthyi replied, di she been examined I met the Countess, and she said, " All is well—they have discovered nothing."

The male prisoner, iu answer to questions from the President, said he had kept poisons in the cellar, and amongst thein was a bottle of nicotine. Ho admitted that the nicotine stood on a shelf by itself; but, never theless, maintained that it must have been taken by mistake by his wife on the 20th, and that it was from it she had by error filled Gitstave's glass. The President, however, remarked that ' such a thing was improbable. . Madame de Bocarme, in reply to the President, said that she sometimes went to the cellar, but that her hus band had never told her that there were bottles of poison in it. Virginia Chevalier, one of the domestics of the no. cased, gave the same evidence as Emerance, and added that the Count, in questioning her on the evidence she intended to give, said that she would be very stupid to say that the doors had been closed; he also said that justice always made a good deal of trouble when a man died of apoplexy. Witness further stated that the Count rose in the night to see to his chemical operations, but the had never seen the Countess with him. The Count never made improper propositions to her. _ HERTS.

Both the accused declared that they had nothing to say on the evidence. Several of the tradesmen of the accused then deposed that they had great difficulty in getting money from them. Other witnesses were called to prove that M. de Bocartne had once offered 301. to a person to give false evidence in his favour in a case in which he was con cerned. The Court then adjourned until the following day. EIGHTH DAY. The Court assembled at the usual hour. The attendance of spectators was greater than on the two or three preceding days. Madame de Bocarme, it was noticed, appeared in a straw bonnet, with white ribbone. _ _ Alexander Destrebecq deposed that the Count had owed him a considerable sum for meal since 1844, and that he had not been able to obtain payment of the whole, notwithstanding his frequent demands. When his wife was seen approaching the chateau the bridge over the fosse leading to the entrance used to be reise,d. When the death of Gustave became known it was said at once in the neighbourhood that ho must have been killed. Anna Thomassin, a cook, had been in the service of both the accused. She never observed thet they had quarrels, or that the Count ill-treated his wife. The Count went a good deal after girls. He had a child by Sydonie who had been in his service, and had tried to seduce Nathelie Dudrieu, a French girl. Witness had seen Sydonie leave the Count's bed-room barefooted•-- that was in order not to make a noise, as the Countess was is the chateau. A little boy, of whom the Count was the father, had been taken to the chateau. The Count appeared fond of him, though not more than of the others, and the Countess supported his presence, though she did not let him sleep with her own children. The Count wanted witness to •sleep with him, but she told him that he had a pretty wife, and ought to be sa tisfied. He said that he would have nothing more to do with his wife, called witness a bad girl, and was very angry at her refusal. Francois° Duruysker, keeper of a public-house, at Saint Josse Vennoodc, had been in service at the chateau; had seen the Count ill-treat his wife; he had struck her when she was enceinte. M. Gustave did not otten take meals at the chateau. He seemed afraid, and often said to witness that the Count did not like him, and might poison him. On one occasion witness heard the Countess crying for help, because the Count was ill-treating her, and she sent the Count's mother to her protection. Once, when the Count was at Brussels with his wife, he absented himself to go with a girl named C6leatine Legrain, by whom he had one child, and who was then enceinte by him. When witness left his service the Count refused to pay a sum of 45f., which was due to her. He had not made dishonourable propositions to her, and all that she personally had to complain of was, his cheating her out of the 45f. The Countess was mild in character, and was accustomed to have family prayers in the evening, which she generally attended. Franc else Escouftlaire had been three weeks in service at the chateau, but had left because the Count made her dishonourable propositions. Those propositions he re peated several times, and he promised that if she would accept them she should want for nothing. Fideline Fournier was femme de chambre at the cha teau, in 1848, and had seen the Count ill-treat his wife. On one occasion witness pulled him from her, as he was striking her. Hai seen the Countess bleeding from the mouth, after having been knocked down by him. Had seen the Count's illegitimate child at the chateau. Marie Josephine Bailly said she was in service at the chateau, in 1848, and had seen the Count tear the cap from his wife's head. The Countess appeared very fond of her brother. Witness had wished the Countess to send the illegitimate child from the chateau in the night Madame Cherquefosse, wife of the notary at Tour nay, said that the Countess had often invited her to visit the chateau, and, in 1848, she went. She then complained of the Count having his illegitimate child at the chateau. When the Countess saw the Count coming, she begged witness to retire to her own apart meat, which she did. After a while she heard cries of " Help, Madame Cherquefosse !" and, on hastening to the spot, saw the Countess in a frightful state, with her hair in disorder, and her face red and bloody. Witness then said, " Monsieur le Comte, if you do not change your conduct, you will end at the galleys or on the acatiold !" But, in saying that, she had never seriously expected that she should see the Count in his present position. The Count had then said that - what ho had done to his wife was only in play. Witness did net think that Madame de Bocartrai was happy, and had often said that her coronet of a countess was lined with BERKS.

One day, when witness was walking with the Count and Countess, he struck his wife frequently on the arm, and always in the same place. The Count, in witness's opinion, was full of cunning and hypocrisy; he was a complete hypocrite. He was cruel to his wife, and she felt profound terror of him. He at times beat his children with great severity. His wife was an angel of goodness, mildness, and patience. (The witness gave her evidence with a good deal of pomposity, and, on re tiring, aff,ctiosately saluted the female prisoner.) Silvio Dutrieu had been in the Count's service. He had made propositions to her, and rho had :yielded to him. He gave her money. After leaving his service she had met him, and he had taken her to a public house. Marie Copta and Marie Vanboquestal had seen the count ill-treat his wife and children. Caaastine Legrain, aged 25, the girl by w hom the Count had had a child, and with whom he subsequently maintained a connexion at Brussels, was then ceded in. She is not pretty, and is of vulgar appearance. She was greatly agitated, and cast a glance at the Count. She attempted to speak, but was seized with a violent nervous attack, and had to be removed. The Count re mained perfectly unconcerned. Josephine Deblugny, a charwoman, had had a quarrel with the Count, and he had struck her. He was a bad man. Celestine Legrain then deposed that she had had an intimate connexion with the Count, the result of which was a child. This child she had brought up at Brussels. He gave her money. He had taken her child from her to have it, with the consent of his wife, at the chateau. Witness had consented to the boy being taken awa y , in order to put an end to her re la tions with The Count. The boy was at present with her parents. Count h a d undertaken to pay her father 5001. a year U ntil this boy should be seven years of age, but had - not done so. He had given a promissory note, but it was not signed in his usual way. When witn ess remarked that, he asked if she thought he was not an honest man enough to fulfil such an engagement. Witness kept up her con nexion with the Count at Brussels. She had saved up 1,000 f., which he obtained from her.. He had not repaid her, and had not paid the interest. The Count had en gaged her as domesti c , , and had then passed him self off as secretary- general of the Countess do Bocturee. [The Count paid no attention what ever to the evidence of the witness, and the President reminded him that it was of considerable importance; he merely bowed and relapsed into indiffe rene°•] The Count gave her 200 f. a mon th for about months.twenty , When she left the chateau to go to Brussels he gave her 1,5001. M. de Bocarme—This young girl wa s very good, very excellent, and very faithful- 1 ha d a strong passion for her, and I avow that my passion carried me rather too far. Michael Legrain, father of the last witness, said that the Couut Lad proposed to him to take the child to his bore, but he had refused without a promissory note t o cover the expense. The Count promised that he would send a note wrapp ed up hi the baby linen; but it was not there. The Count had never paid him. On one cf hi s v i s its, however, ho left 40f. On that ceeazion he wept oa seeing that tte child ass ill. Witneas denied with much indignation the insinuation of the Count, that he had forged the promissory Lola.

During the n , 7 , xt two days, with one exception, the evidence was not cf a native to throw any new light upon the case. Most of tho witnesses who were called deposed only to faots already known. The director of the prison o f Tourney, in which M. de Bocarm6 was confined, stated that Da. de Bccarme had endeavoured to induce him to be the medium of communication with the Countess, and had expressed to the witness his astonishment at • her having made statements which might injure him without doing any good to herself. M. de Bocarmi told him that he had knocked down M. Gustave, and that when he was on the ground Mme, de Booarm‘ had . poured the poison into his mouth, which was of such power that a single drop would suffice to destroy a man's life. M. de Bocarme denied having made this statement to the director cf the prison, and Mme. de Bocarme asserted that she had left the room as soon as her brother was thrown down, and had taken no part in the murder. On Saturday, one of the judges having become indis posed, an adjournment took place to Monday.

E de ß n S , ela s t t i r n e g et t - o bu t i b ld e in fe g r:ign debt and also to the Customs' law of Venezuela, is from the Committee A itt M ee of Spanish American Bondholders:---• " The committee have received this morning the fol lowing letter from their agent, Mr. Lord,• dated La Guayra, May 9, 1851:—. " Sir,—l have now the pleasur e t o wa i t upon the committee with the enclosed extraordinary Gazette of the sth inst., that contains , the legislative decree of the • 23d ult., continuing the extraordinary- contribution to which I have made reference in my late letters. Arta. 1,6, and 7-are those that merit especial attention, the ' rema i n i ng ones, Nos. 2 to 5, being confined to the rates ' of duty to be levied on imports and exports. '" It is in Art. 1 that the Senate made an alteration, amplifying still more its usefulness; the contribution is to be "as long as it may be necessary thus the duratio n o f to meet the engagements of the public credit." Art. 6 is a very important one, prohibiting, as it does, upon any pretext whatever, the application of this fand to other than the object for which it is decreed, viz., in satisfaction of the obligations of public credit. " ' Art. 7 establishes a salutary check upon the em ploye's concerned, " Although this contribution is not by the - decree assigned exclusively to the foreign debt , as wa s pro posed by the L ower Chamber, that which is almost tan tamount to it is, that intthe law of " ways and meals" , for the ec onom i ca l year that w ill comme nce on July Ist next, ther e i s a sum assigned as part pa y me nt of the four years' interest due to Ist of April last of 500,000 dolls., end another for the current interest, at 34 per cont., in the same year .of 371,711 dolls.; that is to say, in this form the project of'law left the Chainber of Representa fives, and I believe the Senate confirmed it; but as their debates are not given to the public, and that the law itself has not been promulgated, I cannot speak positively on the subject. It will interest the committee to know that the domestic debt, upon which interest is payable, amounts at present to a trifle more than 1,000,000 dolls., which will next year be increased to perhaps 1,500,00 0 dollars, or thereabouts,se,nd this will form the maximum of the home debt. Upon the first named amount 10 per cent. for interest and redemption (5 per cent. for each , object) is assigned in the budget of 1851 and 1852.

They literally swarm in numbers, and are pronounced, by thcre who have witnessed them, to be smelts, which latter fish they closely resemble, but an old angler', who has, in years gone by, cast his line into the Dee, in Cheshire, determines them t') be sparling,s. They Nviil bite at a rag-worm very greedily, and a person with a single rod and line, on Saturday, caught eight dozen and upwards of these diminutive tenants of the flood during one tide.

The Court assembled on Monday morning at half-past ten, and the two accused were brought in. Emerance Bricourt, aged 26, was then placed 'in the witness-box; bat she immediately became indisposed, and a glass of water had to be given to her. In answer to questions of the President, she said that on the 20th November last she was in the service 'of the two accused. She could not say whether or not they lived in good in telligence, as she had only been with 'them a fortnight, but the Countess had been very kind to her. The Count, however, was very severe to his wife; when he ordered anything she was obliged to obey; and he always spoke menacingly to her. Witness had 'twice 'seen the de ceased Gustave; the first time he came he had spoken to her, and had afterwards conversed with the Countess. The Countess received him' in a very friendly way. The second time she saw him was on the 20th November. On that day he arrived at 10 o'clock, and breakfasted with the Countess. Witness did not see the Count, but had been told that he was also at the break fast, (M. de Bocarme here seemed affected,) She had told the Count that there was a good deal of disorder in his household. It frequently happened that the Coun tess was obliged to prepare the dinner. When she had ordered anything, the Count gave counter orders, and the Countess dared not reply. On the 20th November Gustave told her that he intended to stop to dinner, and asked at what hour it would be ready. She said that there was no fixed hour, and he answered that it did not matter once in a way what hour it was. Whilst' wit ness was dressing - the Countess, the Count came in and asked at what time the dinner would be ready. The Countess said "Immediately," and she plaoed her. arms round her husband's neck. Witness observed that, as soon as she should have done dressing the Countess, she would lay out the table—she having been ordered to wait at table, although that was not part of her ordi nary duty. The Countess ordered her to take the din ner of the governess and the children' to the children's room, though,they ordinarily dined with their parents. The Countess said that she could not"hale them at table, as business matters had to be discussed. She also told her that when she had removed the dinner she was to retire. When witness had cleared the table, only half a bottle of Champagne was left, and the Coun tess said she would fill Gustave's glass from it. Witness did not again see Gustave until after his death. Whilst the dinner was going on, a poor countryman, to whom the Countess had promised assistance for a sick person, came, but the Count asked his wife what right she had to meddle with such matters, and prevented any thing from being given. Witness, after dinner, took away several glasses. She remarked that Gustave neither ate nor drank anything until after he had seen the Count eat and drink the same things. The Countess had made some apple tarts, and gave some of them e to the deceased. Tho3e tarts had been made in presence of Gustave. Witness after dinner went in with the lamps, but the Count sent her away, and ordered her to go up to the children's room. Whilst there, Justine Thibaut, another servant, went out, but presently returned in great terror, and was so weak that witness had to sup port her. Witness asked what ailed her, and she said, " No, no, not now; I will tell you hereafter!" and she afterwards related that sho had heard Gustave exclaim, Oh ! oh ! help—quick—help, Hippolyte!" Justine also told her that she had heard the cries as she was going to the kitchen, but she was so troubled that she hadanade different statements on that point. Justine hail seen some one leave the dining-room, and close dif ferent doors, as if to prevent the noise in the dining room from being heard. The President—Did you not think of going to the assistance of Gustavo?—Yes, Sir; and shortly after I elpioaguthel . 4 d noth butT e I r oh seizeawas dobn the ieo, hand le sadon if h went to the doo r o f th e an t ec h am b er o f th e C ount ' s apartment. ge wa s so trou bl e d, so t rem bli ng , t h at h e hf h ew e h as a d d n very h e oosob foreheads e r t ve e d d t o h o a a r s t . re ceived a cut with a knife. I asked him what was the matter, and he replied "Le ave me !" Did he close the door after,him?—No, Sir. Did his voice appear changed?—Yes, Sir. To what could you compare the change?—To that of " a man who had committed a bad action." When you went down again, what did you see?—l saw the Count running with a jug full of warm water; the Countess was so frightened that I dared not speak to her. She said to me, "Emerance, go up stairs again." I followed the Countess in spite of her, and saw her en ter the room in which her husband was. The Countess spoke low to the Count. I heard a noise similar to that caused by vomiting. In going a little after into the room, I saw that the Count had vomited in a basin. I made no reflection at the moment, but afterwards I thought that poison had, in a struggle, fallen on him. The witness then proceeded to say that she had re turned to the children's room, and had stated to the other servants what she had seen. She had said that what was taking place below did not concern the ser vants, and that if they were wanted the bell would be rung. The Countess came to the room, and took her daughter, the little Eugenio, in her arms. She was greatly agitated, and pressed the child wildly to her breast. She asked for a glass of water, saying that she had eaten salt meat and was dreadfully thirsty. Wit ness did not give the glass of water because the Count barred her passage. The Countess then cried, " Gus tave is ill!" She believed, also, that the Count cried the same thing. Witness was ordered to go to the kitchen for a light; she did not see then a jar of vinegar, which had been there previously. Shortly after the Count eatered the kitchen, and said, " What a misfor tune! Gustavo is dead! I expected to find him on a chair, but he was on the floor." Witness went into the dining-room, and saw M. Gustave inundated with vinegar, and there was an odour which she had never experienced before. When she saw the Count in the antechamber, he had on a great coat—when she saw him in the kitchen, he had on an old dressing-gown, which had not since been found. The Countess did not follow her to the kitchen. Whilst witness was in the kitchen, she heard her cry, " Ah! mon Dieu! Gustave is dead!" When witness saw the body the face was co vered with vinegar, as if it had been plunged into a basin-full; and the Count rubbed the nose with vinegar as roughly as he would have done a floor. Witness was indignant, and said that that was not the way to treat a sick man. She observed scratches and bruises on the face of deceased, and that his shirt collar was as tightly pressed round his throat as if he had been strangled. There were marks of blood on the shirt collar and the cravat. idetween eleven and twelve o'clock at night witness and other domestics went to the dining-room to ask if the Count and Countess had any orders to give. They were not there; and they went to the room to which the body had bean conveyed, to see if they had gone to reader assistance to Gustave, although there was no hope. Witness saw in a retired part of the chateau a light, which caused her to feel fear, and she cried, "Who goes there? who goes there?" The Countess answered, "It is I." Witness asked what had become of the Count, and the Countess said that he had gone to seek for vinegar. Witness asked why he should take that trouble, when he had so many servants? She then went to the governess, Isladlle. Pate. She afterwards saw the coachman, who expressed surprise at the Count and Countess having fled to the chamber. Ho said be suspected something, and proposed that they should examine the dining-room, which they did. They found a small knife, and she observed that it seemed to her that Gustave had used it to defend himself. The Count told the Countess to hide everything which could cause a misfortune to be suspected. That appeared very strange to witness. The carpet in the dining-room had been partially turned up. The dining-room was washed, by order of the Countess. In the night following the crime neither the Count nor the Countess retired to rest before five o'cicck. In the course of the night the Countess burned several papers. The Count carried a large packet of papers to the kitchen fire, and made ono of tho servants burn it. In answer to the President M. de Bccsirme said that the papers were old ones, which had been in a lumber room, but he admitted that amongst them were two from tho gardener at Ghent. As to the letters burned by his wite, he said that perhaps they were correspond ence with persons with whom he was not acquainted. The two letters of the gardener were relative to venomous plants. The female prisoner stated, in answer to a question, that amongst the letters destroyed was one of her hus band's mother, another of his sister, laid the others were from M. Van llouette. The latter had been burned be cause they referred to poisons. Emerance, having been again questioned, said that she knew that the cravat of the deceased had been burned by order of the Countess. The Court then adjourned, but the President told Emerance that she would have to be again examined. SEVENTH DAY. The trial was resumed on Tuesday. The witness Emerance Bricourt again appeared in the box. She said, in answer to other questions, that she thought it was the Count who bad said to her, when she had gone to the dining-room with lights, "No, no — later." Gustave had not mentioned to witness, when she saw him on the 20th, that she could not attend at dinner as he had to talk of business with his sister and brother-in-law. She gave the watch, chain, purse, and pocket-book of the deceased to the Countess after the body had been discovered. When Dr. Semet went down stairs, after having examined the body, the Count and Countess said to him, " Weil—bow is Gustave?" At that time the body had been undressed and washed by order of the Countess, and both sho and the Count must have known that he was dead. Their question to the doctor appeared very strange to her. On the 21st November the Count and Countess called her to their room, and the formersaid "Gustave has died of an attack of apoplexy—if you were questioned, what would you say ?" Witneis answered, "I should tell the truth." The Count told her, and the other servants, not to say that e the doors had been closed, as that might co ys re ,h ti: e n a r s t , e , s t , s o T w t h h a a s e t p w re il s l e n d t, ~ and She said,w hen seemed . them.

EXETER AND EXStouni . A n e xtraordinsiy general meeting of the shareholders in this company was called yesterdal", a t t h e G eorge an d V u l tur e Hotel, Lombard street, to. consider the pro priety of forthwith proceeding witkthe abandonment of the undertaking, but a sufficient number of shareholders did not attend to comply with the requirement of the Act. This line formed part of the scheme for introducing the London :aid South-Western Railway into, the West of England, by means of the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dor chester Railway. Although a separate Act of Parlia ment was obtained it was, in fact, , ty branch of the Exe ter, an d Dorchester line; and, therefore, was d s per tentage lease by ;the South-Western Yeovil, a Company, in common with that undertaking. Upon the resolution to abandon the construction of the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester, by arrangement with the lessees of the London and South-Western, negotiations were commenced for attaining the samn , object in respect to the Exeter and Exmouth. The London and South- Western Company offered to purchase the shares, on which 21s. had been paid, at 10S, 'and the real assets being only equiva lent to 55., shareholders holdin g above 10,000 shares, out of the total of Ll5OO shares, signified their assent to the proposal, and the circumstance that, at the end of an hou r after the time appointed, sixteen shareholders could not be found , lto constitute a legal meeting, seems to show that general satisfaction prevails with respect to the proposed eourse; . Mr. WOOLDIER, the c hairman.a the direction, ex plained that with this large body :.of assenting share holders, who did not consider it necessary to attend, the only thing remaining would be for them to receive back their money, which he trusted would in a very short time be effected. .... .
