M. de Praslin is not guilty. I will an swer for him.' We have learnt from a person who was present that these details are altogether incorrect. The impression produced upon the mind of Gen. Sebastiani on his arriving at the place where the crime was com mitted was profound and extremely painful, but was manifested by a great excitement. He it was who sent to inform the Prefect of Police and the Procu reur-General, and gave every necessary order. Jr. a few minutes afterwards, when the two magistrates were arrived, it was from him they received the first particulars. It was not till several hours after he left the hotel that the General was made acquainted with the suspicions that weighed upon the Duke d Praslin. The person who was sent to Marshal Sebastian iinmediately after th . assassination of the Duchess de Praslin returned to Paris yesterday, with accounts o f the Marshal, whom he found at Veray, in Switzer land, before he had heard of the fatal event. It was announced to him as carefully as possible, but the grief of the Marshal may he conceived. His family, however, are tranquillised as to his health. The physician,is mis sion, e ar Thens and who w‘ Ni, Marshal was ignorant up to the moment of the mes senger's leaving whole mlv l e ' a t i ts r rn u te t v :h h . ea h r o l o p le a . inf G ul en m er is a - 1 willlewa charged with , t air h tleh e vae a tta u hl t eDi h sd o r t 0 o him i t m h e by his mur der.his Sebastiani left this morning to meet his brother, who will arrive in Paris this day." The Chancellor of France, as president of the Court of Peers, has summoned the Members to meet fri the Chamber of Council on Saturday next, at one o'clock. au Wednesday morning several of the Committee of the Chamber of Peers went to the hotel Sebas tiani to examine the theatre of the crime of the 18th. A plan of the apartments has been ordered for dis-. tribution among the Peers. The seals which had been placed on the drawers containing papers in the rooms of the Duke and Duchess de Praslin wer e yesterday removed, and the papers were placed in the hands of the Judge d'lnstruction. Two witnesses were examined in the course of the day—M. Elouin ' chief of the municipal police, and M. Allard, chief of the secret police. Several perquisitions were made. We read in the Gazette des Tribunaux : " We said yesterday that an investigation had beer. made at Paris by M. Broussais, Judge d'l ns t ruc ti on , in order to discover the little box in which Mdlle. de Luzy Desportes enclosed her correspondence. This box was deposited some days ago by Mdlle. de Luzy Desportes in the hands of one of her friends, who in her turn gave it to a doctor. When the officers visited the residence of the latter he was absent ; his house keeper, hastened to remit the box to the examining magistrate. But the letters of the Duke de Praslin had been removed from it; and it was only, it is said, after considerable hesitation that the woman went to seek for them between the pages of a volume in the library. We are assured that in one of these letters the Duke de Praslin held out to the person to whom it was addressed early hopes of happiness, but neither that letter nor the others con tain anything that has reference to the crime of the 18th August. The mistress of the boarding-school in the Rue du Harley, who has been examined as a witness, was principally called on to depose with respect to the visit made on Tuesday, the 18th, to Mdlle. de Luzy Desportes by the Duke de Praslin. Mdlle. de Luzy had declared that she did not remain alone a moment with the Duke, who was accom panied by his two daughters; but this declaration has been contradicted by several depositions. All the domestics of the Duke have been examined in the course of the investigation, the principal hearing of which was as to the conduct of the Duke at the moment at which the crime was discovere I. On the first intelligence of the horrible assassination, which his agitated domestics communicated to him, the Duke burst into a violent fit of anger, and cried, I always told you that a misfortune would occur ! You always leave the doors open !' This state of irritation continued during a part of the morning, and be again became exceedingly angry when he was told that a member of his family had started to convey the fatal news to Marshal Sebastiani. Ido not understand,' he cried, 'his taking the liberty of such a step without my order—l am the only master here!' But from the moment at which he felt that all the- suspicions were directed against him, and that he was questioned as if guilty, he all at once changed his tone and manner. He no longer an swered without hesitation, and avoided all catego rical explanations, sometimes even not replying at all. Such were also the characteristics of the inter rogatory to which he was subjected before the com mittee of examination. To the questions too precise, to the demand for a yes or no, he replied—' I know nothing cf it—l am too ill to reply to such question !' " The Droit has the following:— " It will be remembered that, on the first report o the crime committed in the hotel Sebastiani on the 18th, the magistrates were immediately called in. It was about six in the morning that the investigation took place and the interrogations commenced. Throughout the day the hotel was surrounded, and every care taken that no person should be allowed to leave it ; but the persons who lived in it were not subjected to any personal, direct, and continuous sur veillance, nor were they gardees a rue, in the true meaning of the words. The first suspicion fell upon the valet de chambre, who, on his side, suggested that his master should he closely watched. The first stage of the affair must not be lost sight of, because it is the key of all that follows. It was in the morning, immediately after having been subjected to the ques tions of the Procureur-General, the sense and bearing of which it NI as not difficult for the Duke to com prehend, that the serious derangement, which is ex plained by the extreme emotions of every kind he had undergone, and the species of stupor into which his examination had thrown him, took place. At this time neither the magistrates nor any other person in the hotel had any suspicion of poison. Dr. Louis, the family physician, who was the first called in to ascertain the condition of the Duke and Duchess, believed that he recognised in the state of the Duke symptoms of cholera, the causes of which were natu rally attributed to the terrible agitation of the pre ceding night. During the first day M. de Praslin re mainel in a state of debility, accompanied by all the symptoms of cholera, without anything to indicate poisoning, of which, in fact, no idea occurred to any one. The officers of justice, engaged deeply and ex clusively in investigating the circumstances of the crime, th e secret of which was not completely un veiled, paid but a secondary attention to the state of i a r n r w e asiss arm-c hairt siubclesuch, dtiha ra to rtb thece be the Duke, of whose projects they had no surmise. On Thursday his condition became aggravated, an d the use of a bath was thought necessary, an d , f rom was uvn a the p froml placed wayed which a i n n k t n o e ti s ht s h ,e, buteffle o came his carried weakness, e on,a chair was of necessity taken into the garden, where it remained till the 24th. On that day, in conse quence of the accumulating suspicions against him, the Duke was put under the most rigid surveillance. The symptoms t a k en f or c h o l era , an d which would beiso taken again, continued, and were combated by the treatment employed in such cases, namely, byadmi ni stering ic e d wine and other iced drinks. Things remained in this state till Saturday morning at o'clock, when the Duke was conductedo to the t Lux embourgerre with the assent o f Drs. it u ge de St. Pierre was in and Andral. On the wa y he drank twic e. that voniitings were mentioned At least it is error cer tain that from the time of his re moval till hi s death, no disorder of this kind oc curred in the system of M. de Praslin. He api eared to be getting a little better until his interrogatory by the Chancellor, the only one, in fact, he underwent. At that moment only, from new external signs, the physicians began to be lieve that it was not an attack of cholera, but that the Duke had poisoned himself. Such symptoms could not escape the observation of Dr. Rouget, who communicated his suspicions to the Chancellor and the Grand Referendary. M. Chevalier, the chemist, sent for, and the evacuations of the were analysed, and found to contain a con-iderable quan tity of arsenic ; enough indeed, according to the report of M. Chevalier to • poison several persons. The fact of poiso • ning being thus established, it re mained only to seek for the means • by which it was effected, and the three phials already mentioned were found, and no doubt remained that the Duke had taken a large quantity of the arsenic. Upon this discovery the treatment was changed, and e mollients administered. On being questioned by the Chan cellor as to the time when he took the poison, the Duke confess e d th a t it was on Wednesday morning, while being oppressed by the questions of the Chan cellor, and feeling all the horror Pt his position. He stated that he brought the arsenic with him from the Château de Praslin, where be generally kept a large quantity for domestic purp oses, and works of art in which he took pleasure to employ himself. Such is the recital, which we believe to be perfectly correct, of a death which has given rise to so many various conjectures. There is nothing precise or uniform in the effects produced by swallowing arsenic, which are known to vary in different per sons. Sometimes this poison kills immediately, some times it will not begin to act for four or five days. In this particular case the poison began to act im mediately, although death did not ensue till a week afterwards. It has been erroneously stated that the person of the Duke was sensibly reduced, and that there was a retraction of the tissues. His person bore all the characters of strength, with a sound and vigorous constitution, which fully explains the slow action of the poison. The body of the Duke is placed on a bed with all the trappings of mourning. Near it is a crucifix with two lighted tapers, and priest in constant prayer." AUGUST 28, 1847. No. 17,143.

(IMPORTANT CURE of INFLAMMATION 1 of the EYES, by the use of DURKEE'S GREEN MOUN TAIN VEGETABLE OINTMENT. " Martha Day, of 94, High Holborn, states thas she is 14 years of age, and has been afflicted with sore eyes from her infancy, occa sioned by the measles ; and for the last three years has been unable to distingui-h objects with one of her eyes, and has suffered much pain. She has been under the care of several occulists, particularly' the principal one of the Royal Westminster Ophthalmic hospital ; yet the inflammation increased and extended down the side of the face, producing a hard swelling or tumour just below the jaw-bone. In this state of disease she was advised to apply Durkee's Green Mountain Vegetable Ointment ; in a few days the swelling and in flammation entirely subsided, and she can now see to read ordinary print with that eye, tho sight of which was considered past restora tion." The distinguishing feature of this ointments is its power in reducing inflammation ; it is therefore highly beneficial in gout, rheumatism, erysipelas, bronchitis, ringworm, glandular swellings, and all scrofu lous affections. The proprietors have consigned the ointment to Messrs. H. Preston and Son, 94, Smithfield-bars, London. It is also sold by Barclay and Son, Farringdon-street ; Sangar, 150, Oxford street ; llowse, Tichbourne-street ; Taylor, Pall-mall ; Nash, Mary , lebone-street ; Mack and Williams, 114, high Holborn ; and all re spectable Chemists and Medicine Venders throughout the kingdom, in pots, 2s. 9d. each.

MARSHALL, Chief Caskier. 547. Dated the 2Gth day of August, v THE ADDITIONS TO BUCKINGHAM PALACE.—The building, it will be remembered, occupied three sides of a square. The addition is being built against the wings, extending north and south, so as to form the fourth side of the square and enclose the court. The new structure projects but very slightly beyond the face of the old building on either side, and occupies in the whole about 345 feet. The extreme height in the centre, exclusive of the decorative arms, will be about 90 feet. One eentral and two side archways give entrance to the new building and to the court. There are 23 windows in each of the two upper stories. The whole is crowned by a balus trade, and the dies which form it into panels will each carry a vase or urn, as at the Privy Council-office White hall. It will be seen that the design does not pretend to grandeur or magnificence—scarcely to dignity ; and although all will probably agree with us in thinking that these are the characteristics to be l oo k e d f or i n t h e pa l ace of the Sovereign, the architect was pro b a bl y r i g h t i n attempting, in the present instance, little more than an ordinary piece of street architecture in stone instead of stucco. Mr. Blore's suggestions for laying out the ground in front of the Palace is, if we u nd erstan d i t r ightly, the lengthening the present pi ece o f water i n t h e enclosure, to bring it nearer to the Palace. As the ground slopes away from the Palace towards the east, he proposes to lower the surface of it at a certain dis tance from the front of the Palace, so as to f orm a ter race, faced with stone , as in Trafalgar-square.—The Builder. His Royal Highness Prince Waldemar of Prussia, with Baron Lauer Munchausen, Count Oriole., and Count Groeben, arrived at Dalmehoy Castle on a second visit to the Earl and Countess of Morton, after visiting Stir ling.

The solitary on e may shield himself t inder the plea eomprosing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance.

They had, he stated, been made up ever since the packages were sent off. Tyra gave them to witness, and he had kept them ever since. Mr. Edw. Zohrab, Consul-General to the Turkish Embassy, being sworn, stated that the coins pro duced were excellent patterns of the Turkish coins now partly in circulation in that empire. They were counterfeit, but the imitation was 30 good that it was likely to deceive the people of that country. The coinage had never been authorised by the Turkish Government ; no person but the Sultan in that coun try had power to strike a coinage. It would be a criminal act. This was the evidence on the part of the proseeu :ion. Mr. Harding said it was perfectly dear that the case must go to a jury, but on the part of the prisoner he had now to apply that he should be admitted to bail. The magistrates were no doubt aware that the prisoner was the son of the late Mr. Darwin, of .Edg baston-street, and unexceptionable bail would be given. There were other circumstances which be could not name which induced him to make this application. Mr. James, on the part of the prosecution, observed, that they had every reason to believe that foreign parties were concerned in the fraud, and if the pri soner escaped (which, if bailed, was not at all impro bable), the ends of justice might be defeated. Mr. Harding—You will find that the application for bail is made, not for the purpose of defeating the ends of justice, but quite to reverse. The magistrates decided upon committing the pri soner to take his trial at the Warwick assizes, but took time to consider whether they would admit him to bail. The nine casks of counterfeit piastres sent by the prisoner from Birmingham are said to have repre sented not less than 95,0001. THE. DUKE DE PRASLIIsT. On Wednesday, at five o'clock, the Procureur du Roi, M. Boucly, went to the prison of the Luxem bourg, where, assisted by the director, and having re ceived the declaration of M. Rouget, the physician of the prison, he drew up the following proces verbal : " In the year 1847, on August the 24th, at five o'clock in the afternoon, we, Felix Boucly, Procureur du Roi at the Civil Tribunal of the Seine, having been informed that the Duke de Praslin, who was detained in the house of justice established near the Chamber of Peers, as being inculpated in the crime of murder, had just expired in that prison, we imme diately proceeded there, and, being conducted by the director into a chamber on the second floor, lighted by two windows looking upon the court, we there found, lying on a bed, and giving no signs of life, the body of a person whom we recognised to be the Duke de Praslin, against whom we had laid an information on the 18th of this month, and the following days, and who, on Saturday, the 21st of this month, was transferred from his hotel to the above-mentioned house of justice. In the same chamber, and by the side of the Duke de Praslin, we found M. Pierre Rouget, doctor in medicine, physician to the Chamber of Peers and the prison of the Luxembourg, who, conjointly with ➢I. Louis and M. Andral, had con stantly attended the Duke de Praslin. M. Rouget made the following declaration accompanied the Duke de Praslin during his removal from his hotel to this prison, and I have constantly attended him since his arrival here. I attribute his death to poison- ing with arsenic. I think that, in order to obtain positive proof, it will be necessary to proceed to an autopsy. The death took place at 35 minutes after four in the afternoon, and I consider it to be abso lutely certain.' Of the above facts we have drawn up this present proces verbal, which is signed by M. Rouget and by us, in the presence of M. Gervais, Pierre Francois, Guillaume Trevet, director of the house of justice near the Court of Peers, who has signed it after having read it. Done in the year, month, and day above mentioned, in the house of jus tice of the Court of Peers. " ROUGET, TREVET, FELIX BOUCLE'." We extract the following from the Patrie " The Duke de Praslin died in consequence of arsenic taken in considerable quantity, according to the official journal. It is not said who prepared and furnished the poison, and at what moment the Duke could have taken it. Let us recapitulate, according to an authority worthy of credit, the circumstances of the morning of the 18th. The prefect of police, and M. Allard, the chief of the police de surety, arrived at the Hotel Sebastiani about half-past five in the morn ing. The commissary of police of the quarter and his agents were already in the chamber where the dead body was lying. The Procureur-General, M. De langle, arrived about six o'clock. The Duke de Praslin was there, going and coming from one room to another, and expressing his surprise at the mode in whicn the murderer could have entered the house. After M. Delangle had carefully examined the loca lities, he declared in an energetic manner that the murderer had not come from outside, it being most evident that he belonged to the house. M. de Pras lin grew pale on hearing M. Delangle express himself thus. Some minutes after the Procureur-General addressed some questions to the Duke, which inti• mated the direction which his suspicions took as to the author of the crime. The Duke became then of a cadaverous tint, and his agitation, his altered fea tures, and his general bearing showed to those pre sent who ought to be considered the murderer. At the moment the examining magistrates and the Pro cureur du Roi entered, M. de Praslin disappeared im mediately. He went to an upper floor, on which was his bedroom. It is thought with reason that it was at this instant, that, finding himself suspected, he swallowed the poison. About three hours had elapsed, when the Procureur-General had ex pressed a suspicion. From that moment the com plexion of the Duke became yellow; this was the re sult of the poison. The'disorder in the organization aug mented visibly when the Procureur du Roi told the Duke what overwhelming charges there were against him. Confess that you are guilty,' said the Pro cureur du Roi; 'confess that you have assassinated your wife.' The Duke looked at the magistrate, and concealed his face with his hands. Do not assume the attitude of a forcat, of the assassin by profession. For yourself, if not for society, you are bound to speak the truth, the honour of your family makes this a duty.' I'he Duke cast his eyes on the magistrate, and appeared as if he was going to confess his crime ; but suddenly he turned round and said, ' Decidedly I cannot say that 1 have assassinated her, I did not do it.' The Procureur-General persisted, but the Duke would not reply a single word. From this moment the Duke was rigorously watched. Dr. Louis and his habitual physician endeavoured to combat the effects of the poison, which, in consequence of the over-dose, did not produce immediate mortal conse quences. It was discovered that it was not laudanum that he had taken, but arsenic, and the first physi cians, MM. Orfila, Andral, and Louis, had not sus pected it. They gave him wine and ice! The symptoms of poisoning by arsenic are so little known that three doctors could be mistaken. But after the BASE COINAGE at BIRMINGHAM, BIRMINGHAM, FRIDAY.—This morning a young man, named Edmund Darwin, most respectably con nected, was placed at the bar of the public-office, before Messrs. J. James, H. Luccock, and T. Bielby, borough magistrates, charged with coining and utter ing a large amount of counterfeit money with intent to defraud the Turkish Government. In consequence of the well-known respectability of the prisoner's family, and the novelty and seriousness of the offence with which he stood charged, the office was crowded to excess. Mr. James, of London, solicitor to the Turkish Embassy, appeared to conduct the prosecution, and Mr, T. Harding, of Birmingham, for the prisoner. The first witness called was John Tyrer, button maker, of 18, Lionel-street, Birmingham, who de posed that he had known the prisoner about two years and a half. Last October two years the pri soner, in consequence of an introduction from another man, whom he had previously sent to purchase some silver, came to him at his house in Branstone-street, and saw him silver two small blanks. The prisoner showed witness some impressions, which he said had been struck from dies which were at that time at a place about two miles distant from Bromsgrove. They were similar to, but smaller than, those now produced. At the request of the prisoner, he went to the place near Bromsgrove, and saw the dies, which were fixed in a stamp. He told him that the stamp would do, but that the die would not do. It was too full in the centre.—(The witness was here requested to look at a quantity of genuine Turkish piastres in a paper on the table.)—He knew these coins. They were given to him by the prisoner. There were five packets of them. They were foreign money. By the prisoner's order he caused the dies to be altered, and they were made from the coins given to him for that purpose by the prisoner. When the dies were completed he (witness) struck off about 45,000 coins. The prisoner told him if he would give up his trade and, work exclusively for him, he would give him 51. per week and all his expenses. He ceased to work for him about twelve months ago. The coins, when made, were sent away. They were packed up, and sent away by Crowley's conveyance, at the desire of the prisoner. The prisoner wrote the carriage note and sealed it.—(A number of letters and orders from the prisoner to the witness, relating to the manufacture of the coin, were here put in.) John Walker, late warehouseman to the prisoner, identified them as being in the handwriting of the prisoner. The evidence of Tyrer continued—ln all he sent off nine casks of coin similar to those on the table (piastres). Three of them were returned in about five weeks, the prisoner stating (in a letter which was produced) that they were not sufficiently silvered. Witness melted the returned coin, and used them in his own work. The prisoner had paid him irregularly, sometimes a pound at a time, but he did not think he had received from him more than 61. during the last year. Witness understood from the prisoner that he was agent for some foreign house in London. He requested witness to keep the matter as quiet as pos sible, as arrangements were going forward between the Turkish Ambassador and the British Government, which, if successful, would enable him (the prisoner) to give witness employment for three years. By Mr. JAMES (the magistrate)—They always used cold silver in the button manufacture. Cross-examined by Mr. Harding—There were plenty of button manufacturers who made foreign money. Mr. Ledsum made it for many years, and so did Mr. Kettle, of Suffolk-street. When first applied to by the prisoner, he thought he was acting perfectly legally in making the coin. He had no doubt that all was correct. When the prisoner told him to keep the matter quiet, he understood him to intimate that publicity might possibly have the effect of inducing others to attempt obtaining the contract. Witness had every reason to believe that the coin was manufactured by order of the Turkish Ambassador. When he did not receive his money according to pro mise, he began to suspect all was not right, but he never made any communication to the Turkish Am bassador. He had received from the prisoner alto gether from 501. to 100/. Two or three months after the commencement he suspected the prisoner. The coin, with the exception of a very small quantity of dies, were then all gone away. He never gave any information to the police, and never spoke to any per son whatever upon the subject. Mr. Harding—When, then, were you first asked anything about the matter ? Witness—When Mr. Glossop, the inspector of police, came to my house. He asked me about the dies, and I gave them to him, as well as the prisoner's letters. I never gave in formation to any man, and I will defy any man to say that I did. Mr. Harding—How was it, when you suspected the prisoner, that you did not communi c ate with the authorities in London or Birmingham . , Witness — Because r. I was constantly r eceivin g letters . going for- Darwin, stating that negotiations were se ttled. I ward, and that all would be speedily re ceived hundreds of letters , and you will see from the few in possession of Mr . Glossop, that w ithin the last six weeks Mr. Darw in expressed his confidence that all was going on well. John Walker was recalled. He entered the pri soner's service on the 25th of February, 1846, and left him on the I st of Ma y , 1847. e_had was ware houseman to him i n Cannon-street. He fre quently seen him with peculiar coins on his desk in the counting-house. Some were white and some were yellow. When witness_ w ent near him he used to put them in a handkerchief on his knees. The coin he n ow produced (a ba se Turkish piastre) was received f ro m the prisoner. He marked it at the time he re ceived it. Mr. Glossop, inspector of the Birmingham de tective police force, deposed that he went to the wit ness Tyrer's house, and asked for the dies and coin wh i c h be then produced. Tyrer beg they were 20th the Duke improved. On that day he was in a state to be interrogated by an examining magistrate, and on the 21st he was removed to the prison of the Luxembourg. On the 22d the Duke was much better. He was able to speak to the Chancellor and the Grand Referendary, and conversed during the t whole day with his physician. The imp rovement ceased suddenly. On the 22d the vomibtiengs could r with r° et v u e r m ned, and he was in such a state t ds t in reply to the great difficulty utter a few Chancellor. `Did you I need time and said the murder your wife ?'

" I have no strength Chancellor; to reply.: Th i e t t i w s o interrogatories which took place Luxembourg in the prison of the _ He may be summed up made no avowal, he replied in these few . words. It was only in the afternoon of nothing decidedly. the 23d that the symptoms of poison again appeared with fresh intensity. The same night the evil gained ground; dreadful suffering tortured the prisoner, convulsions came on, and the next day it was evident that his death was approaching. The Grand Refe rendary went to him , it is said , and called on him to declare at what moment he took the poison, and who prepared it for him. The prisoner replied that he took it at his hotel, but he did not say who prepared and gave it to him. It was the cure of the parish Du Haut-Pas who administered the last sacrament to the prisoner, near five o'clock ; and in a few in stants after the Duke appeared before another judge l' The same journal says : " Doctors Pasquier (first surgeon of the King), Tardieu, Canuet, Simon, and Boys de Loury , ascer tained, on the 18th, in the presence of the Procureur du Roi, different traces of wounds and contusions on the person of the Duke of Praslin, viz.—a scratch on the right arm, two bites on the left hand, a scratch on the left hand, a wound which had recently been s bleeding on one of the fingers, and on ano h the s r ki m n ma rks of nails, which had torn away some of on the left leg a long excoriation and a superficialte wound on the calf—all these marks_ and contusions were of recent date.
