I will an ! swer for him.' We have learnt from a person who was I present that these details are altogetber incorrect. The impression produced upG.n 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 lie it , was who sent to inform the Prefect of Police and the Proc reur-General, and gave every necessary order. i n a few minutes afterwards, when the two magistrates were arrived, it was from him they received the &rat particulars.

This was the e ti2 e; ace on the part of the prosecu tion. Mr. Herding' saki' i t was perfectly clear that the case must go to A jury, but on the part of the prisoner he had now to apply I hat 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 c .ther circumstances which he could not name whit h induced him to make this application. Mr. James, on the: V Art of the prosecution, observed, that they had every- • reason to believe that foreign parties were concenn 'd in the f rau d, an d i f the pri soner escaped (which, if bailed, was not at all impro bable), the ends of just ice might b e d e f eate d . Mr. Harding—You will find that the application for bail is made, not for the purpose of d e f eat i ng the ends of justice, but quite 3 to reverse. The magistrates cleciclf Id upon committing the pri soner to take his trial, at, t!he Warwick assizes, but took time to consider whether' they would admit him to bail.

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 h ouse o f j us ti ce 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 w h om we recogn i se d t o b e 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 M. Louis and M. Andral, had con stantly attended the Duke de Praslin. M. Rouget made the following declaration :—'l 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.

"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 distinguish 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, the 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 ; Howse, 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, 93. 9d. each.

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 central 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 looked for in the palace of the Sovereign, the architect was probably right in 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 understand it rightly, the lengthening the present piece of water in the 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 pertain dis tance from the front of the Palace, so as to form a ter race, faced with stone, as in Trafalgar-squaro.—The Builder.

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 r stood charged, the office was crowded to excess. Mr. James, pf Loolilon, solicitor to the Turkish Embassy, appeaged 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. LasLOctober two years the pri soner, in consequence Of In 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 Tplhaecye were abo similar ut two miles b to, produced. At the request of the pri sone r, he wen t u d t is s t manatlle from. rotmhan Bromsgrove., hosew 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 th a t purpose b y 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 ex c l us i ve l y f or hi m , h e 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--In 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. Ile 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 1001. 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. lie 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 communicate with the authorities in London or Birmingham? Witness — Because I was constantly receiving letters from Mr. Darwin, stating that negotiations were going for ward, and that all would be speedily settled. I re ceived hundreds of letters, and you will see from the few in possession of Mr. Glossop, that within the last six weeks Mr. Darwin expressed his confidence that all was going og' well. John Walker was recalled. He entered the pri soner's service on the 25th of February, 1846, and left him on the Ist of May, 1847. He was ware houseman to him in Cannon-street. He had fre quently seen him with peculiar coins on his desk in the counting-house. Some were white and some were yellow. When witness went near him he used to put them in a handkerchief on his knees. The coin he now produced (a base Turkish piastre) was received from 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 which he then produced. Tyrer said they were "ROUGET, TREVET, FELIX. BOUCLY." '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 stirete, 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 which 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 intli• mated the direction which his suspicions took as o the author of the crime. The Duke became then if t 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 PS 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 ei pressed a suspicion. From that moment the com plexion of the Duke became yellow; this was the re sult of the poison. Thedisorder 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.' The 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 I have assassinated her, el 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 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 whole day with his physician. The improvement ceased suddenly. On the 22d the vomitings returnee, and he was in such a state that be could with great difficulty u tt er a f ew w ords in reply to the Chancellor. ' Did you murder your wife?' said Chancellor. 'ln order to reply, 'B I need timeand is no: - strength, and both are wanting. ir ut ,' replied the much time or much strength ,rle quedther e have no strength Chancellor; ' it is yes or no. to reply.' The two interr o gatories which took place be summed up in the prison of the Luxembourg may He made no avowal, he replied in these few words. nothing decidedly. It was onl y in the afternoon 0,. the 23d that the symptoms of poison again appeared the evil gained The same night gam w ith fresh intensity. ground; dreadful sufferings tortured the prison:T, 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 !' The same journal says : . " Doctors Pasquier (first surzeon of the Kiry), Tardieu, Canuet, Simon, and Boys de Loury as t er 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 bleeding on one of the fingers, and on another , marks of nails, which had torn away some of the skin ; on the left leg a long excoriation and a superficial wound on the calf—all these marks and contusions were of recent date. The autopsy of the body was performed yesterday by MM. Tardieu, Canuet, Simon, Boys de Loury, and Orfila. By the use of Marsh's apparatus, a large quantity of arsenic was discovered. The ibody remains at the prison in the hands of justice." c9r5C711 Who was sent to Marshal Sebastian immediately alto.' the assa ss i na ti on o f the Duchess de Praslin returned to Paris yesterday, with accounts o f tee Marshal, whom he found at Veray, in Switzer land, before he had heard of the fatal event.

On Wednesday morning several of the Cornmitte of th e Ch am b er 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 ire the rooms of the Duke and Duchess de Praslin - r er e yesterday removed, and the papers were place ti in the hands of the Judge d'lnstruction. Two witneiases were examined in the course of the day—M. Elovin , 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 been made at Paris by M. Broussais , Judge d'lnstruction„, in order t o di scover t h e little box in which Mdlle. de Luzy Desportes enclosed her correspondence. This box was deposited some days ago by 11.Idlle. de Lus y 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 hou,s._ 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 lath, 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 it a the course of the investigation, the principal hearing of which was as to the conduct of the Duke at filf: moment at which the crime was discovered. 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 crie& I always told you that a misf or t une would occur ! You always leave the doors open !' This state of irritation continued during a part of the morning, and he again became exceedingly angry when he was told that a member of his family had started to convey the fatal news to Marshal Sebastiani. 'I dlo 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 q stioned as if guilty, he all at once changed his tone and manner. He no longer an swered without hesitation7and avoided all catego rical explanatioes, sometimes even nOi replying at all. Such werg also the:charaotefi‘s of the i n t er -. rogatory to which he As subjected before the corn.- mittee of exknination. To the questions too predate, to the demand' for a yes or no, he replied—' I knave nothing of 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 d vue, in the true meaning of the words. The first suspicion fell upon the valet de chambre, who, on his sid e , suggeste d that his master should he close ly 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 was not difficult for the Duke to com prehend, that the serious derangement, which is ex plained by the extreme emotions of every intoerykinwdhhioehhhaids undergone, and the species of stupor 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 tiT n p r r e e : ceding night. During the first day M. all the eed t P o by indicate maim.' in a state of debility, accoila e n g d i symptoms of cholera, without one. The officers of justice, engag ed poisoning, of which, in fact, no a i n d y e e a d o d cc oe u p rr ly ed an to d an he crime, the secret of which ex clusively in was cir cumstances not to o the completelys o t f a t un veiled, eiled, paid but a secondary a tt en tio n of the v Duke, of whose projects they had no surmise. On Thursday his condition became aggravated, and the use of a bath was thought necessary, and, from his weakness, he was placed in an arm -chair to be carried to it, but on the way an irresistible diarrhoea came on, the effluvia from which was such, that the 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 taken for cholera, and which would belso taken again, continued, and were combated by the treatment employed in such cases, namely, byThings nistering i ce d w i ne an d ot h er i ce d drinks.i at four remained in this state till Saturday inorntonigie o'clock, wh e n th e Duke was con ducted s_ouget de St. Pierre Lux embourg with the assent of r .ll and Andral. On the way he ank twice. It was in mentioned. At least it is of his removal till his death, no disorder of this o e o r r ro ta r in th t a h t at vo fr m o i n itin tgh kind oc curred in the system of M. de Praslin. He a ppear ed to he getting a little better he u ntil his interrogatory by the Chancellor, th e on l y underwent. At that mo men t on l y, one, in fact, 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., was sent for, and the evacuations of the Duke were analysed, and found to contain a conaerable quan tity of arsenic ; enough indeed, according to the report of M. Chevalier, to poison several persons.
