Turpin, com mission boatmen of the Coastguard at Saloombe, Devon, and to Thos. D. Warder, boatman, in a cknowledgment of their gallant conduct in putting off in a small boat in a heavy sea, at the imminent risk of their lives, and reeu ing two out of three men who were capsized from their flailing boat od Bantham Bar, on the night of the 27th instant. A. reward of 61. was also granted to three Coastguard men for putting off in a small boat and rescuing, at the imminent risk of their lives, four out of five persons who had been in a heavy sea capsized from their boat off Port Rush, an the coast of Antrim, on the 221 of July ; after they we re rescued the little boat again put off and succeeded in bringing in the cap sized boat. A reward of 61. was likewise granted to six fishermen for rescuing, at the peril of their lives, two out of four persons who had been caps i zes during a sudd en and heavy squall of wind from their boat off Hamnaroe, Shetland, a few weeks since. It appeared that while the boat was fishing the wind suddenly rose to a strong gale, accompained by a sudden squall off the land, which cap sized the boat before her crew of four men were able to take in her sail. They were plunged into the sea ; two of them were happily ,aved .by clinging t o th e i r b oa t, although twice welshed free? ; two others sank to rise no more. Much risk was inc urred i n the rescue of the aftertw o the men, sea broke , inasmuch and then quickly s t heycou d onl y be approached snatched from their very dangerous s ituation. The lo ss o f lif e among the Shetland fishermen this year has been unusually great. No doubt many of these accidents, which have caused the greatest misery among the families of these poor but deserving men, have been cau se d f rom th e de fective construction of their fishing boats, and the unskil ful manner with which we fear they are too fr,quently han dled in the hour of peril. Fishermen's boats are often of the most primitive construction, and are pro bably on7r a e r a d d , II.N ae report of his recent u Cb' t t' o the lifeboats of the soc i e ty on the b a bly now the same in . character as th e y were 100 or the inspector of 2iiof visiteoh ooaftsi years nt se a p g et o ch . tei oin Lancashire and on the north and south coas t s o f W a l e s. On these occasions he is in the habit of taking the boats afloat, in order to thoroughly examin e th em an d t e st their capacity for service In the hour of need. The boats are also regularly exercised once a quarter through out the year. Ile reported highly of the qualities of the new class of lifeboats of the inst itution , and suggested that some of its older boats, b ui lt 20 o r 30 y ears ago, should be replaced. A communication was read from the Boulogne Shipwreck and Humane Society, in the management of w hi c h some of the Engli s h res id en t s t a ke an active part, inviting the i nspector of lif e b oa t s t o visit their establishment. Their request was complied with. Captain Ward, R.N.,atnl Mr. Peak s , th e i nven t or of Vie lifeboat of the inst itution, were deputed to visit the Boulogne Lifeboat Station accordingly.

LAW INTELLIGENCE, Sept. S. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell.) DA.wicuis V. EVERINGHAM-THE LAST CASE OF CRIM. CON. This was a writ of inquiry in an action for crim. con., ju igment on the part of the defendant having been allowed to go by default. The damages were laid in the declaration at 1,000/. Mr. Stammers appeared 'for the plaintiff, who he said was employed at a coach manufactory in Mount-street, Grosvenor-square, and the defendant was engaged in the contractors' office, on the Lon don, Tilbury, and Southend Railway, as time keeper, at 1/. 10s. per week. The plaintiff was at Southampton, pursuing his trade of a coach paint( r, until 1853, when he came to London with his wife and family. He made the acquaintance of the de-, fendant and his wife in 1855, and their friendship appeared very sine, re, but at length circumstances occurred which aroused plaintiff's suspicion, and he made a search, the result of which was that he found under the bed a large bundle of letters, writ ten by the defendant aad addressed to his (plain tiffs) wife, the contents of which were conclusive of a criminal intercourse having been carried ou for some time. These letters were full of extravagant nonsense, and in one or two of theta there were pieces of licentious poetry, which the learned counsel said he thought would coins within the scope of Lord Ci nipb ell's Act. The letters were placed in the hands of an attorney, who issued a writ, and the defendant called upon him, and sail he could not pay damages and could not deny the charge of adultery, particu larly as his letters were to be produced in evidence against him. In addition to his income from his situation, he made profits by speculating on the turf. The plaintiff and his wife had lived happily together with their children until the defendant's correspondence with her was discovered. Since the plaintiff had been separated from his wife the hid been confined, and there was considerable doulbt as to the paternity of the child. He submitted it was a case for substantial damages. Evidence was given of the happy terms upon which the plaintiff and his wife had lived, and the letters were put in and proved to be in the defen dant's handwriting. No one appeared for the defendant. Mr. Under-Sheriff Burchell having left the case to the jury, they gave a verdict for 501. CI?IME IN FRANCE. A dreadful murder was committed two nights back in the Quartier Sr. Etienne at Caen. Some thieves broke into the shop of M. Peschard, watch maker and jeweller, of the Rue Guillaume-le-Uon queranf, an I, after having murdered him, seized on a great quantity of valuable property and got clear olf. The Monitcur dts Calvados gives the following details of the crime :—" The thieves, supposed to be three in number, obtained ad mission by means of false keys, one of which they left behind them. Everything indicates that they were well acquainted with the premises, and they took the precaution of placing a short ladder across the top of the stairs by which Peschard would have to descend, if by chance he should happen to awake. A spring which communicated from the shop to the bedroom was cut off by the thieves, and a small dog, usually an excellent watch, was strangled. From their knowledge of Peschard'e habits they went at once and took the keys from a small box where they were kept, and used them to open the show glasses. The thieves were about to retire when Peschard, who was awoke by the noise, rose in great haste and ran out of his room on the first floor, but, coming against the ladder, fell down the stairs. On hearing the noise of his fall one of the thieves ran to the door which opened on the staircase, and threw a large paving stone at Peschard's head, which, however, missed him and broke against the wall. They all then rushed on him and a desperate struggle took place, but he was soon overpowered. He received a deep wound from a poignard in the shoulder, and his assailants were then about to fly into the street when Peschard pursued them. He laid hold of oue, who, in order to release himself, discharged a double-barrelled. pistol point blank at him, one ball hitting him in the head, and another in the neck. The unfortunate mart fell, and the robbers took to flight. Two men were arrested the next day on suspicion, having offered two watches for sale to some soldiers at the barracks." The above-named. journal does not state how it has come to a know ledge of the details just narrated. The Court of Assizes of the Gard three days ago tried two young men named Antoine and Jacques Peyrot for the murder of their mother. The woman, who lived. at Montifion, had been married three times, but in March last again received the addresses of a man named Chivasy. As a marriage with that person would probably have had the effect of depriving the two sons by the woman's first husband of soeno property which, for a person in her station—that of a peasant—was not inconsiderable, the two young men conceived a mortal hatred of her, and after a while they openly declared that if she per sisted in the project of marrying again they would murder her. On the morning of the 30th of April last it was noticed that the woman's shutters re mained closed, and her two sons, who did not )ivo with her, were sent for. They entered her cham ber, accompanied by come neighboure, and she was 'ouud lying dead in the bed with a sheet over her ace ; she was dreadfully beaten about the head, and on her throat was the mark of violent pi to3sure from a cord. From marks of blood and other cir cumstances it clearly appeared that the woman fte must have been murdered at the bottom as o she l stairs, and then carried up to her bed ; but was a remarkal4 strong woman, it not have mor ally certain that one man alone couldap peared neither had any forcible entrance into the t b r o obbern been made ; killed her ; there were, morcoayseer, no signs of any robbery, nor attempt b All this threw strong putting her her to death. lastly, no one, except)their two sons, had reason for pici had manifested the slightest deed that neither . no . •on on the two young men,. and, besides, it was Antoine,ate after fter a time confessed g it 'a was e ' ti t le; d and on being int , r - oo• t d the younger, or regret at tinclinc , the poor woman dead The the deed. "We went," he said, "to the who did house together, and my mother on seeing us asked 4 What do you want?' y werearre I answered, 'Jacques means to kill you, and he has forced me to come and help him.' The woman raised a cry of horror, but at the same moment Jacques struck her about the head with some blunt instrument until she fell to the ground. He then told me to strangle her with a cord which we had brought, and I did so, while be held her. When she was dead we carried the body upstairs, and placed it in the bed." The jury de clared the two brothers guilty with oxtetnhteana to atieg circumstances, and the Court senten e c d ed Benaef.,, , hard labour for life. their uncle, was tried with them A man name Antoine 'complicity 3 in.
