The dreadful fate of this unfortunate lady (whose murder we announced yesterday) has filled all Paris with consternation. We sul join the extracts which we find on the subject in the different Paris papers. It will be at once seen, from reading these accounts, that the crime is still involved in the greatest mys tery, and that the efforts of the magistracy to clear it up, at least as far as is communicated by the press, have been hitherto by no means successful. It is perhaps as well not to repeat tiff? whole of the stories in circulation with respect to this dreadful affair. Many of them are, no doubt, untrue, and most of them are incorrect or exaggerated. There can, how ever, be no impropriety in stating, that the idea of the crime having been committed by persona whose object was plunder has been greatly attenuated in the course of the inquiry, and that it is feared that it will be ultimately found that vengeance or jealousy was the true motive which led to this frightful crime. All the persons who were in the house at the time of the murder have been arrested, and among others the Duke de Praslin himself, who is not allowed to leave the house, where he is kept under the close surveil lance of the police. (From Galignani's Messenger.) We mentioned yesterday the murder of this lady, who was the mother of nine children, the only daughter of Marshal Sebastiani, and niece of Lieut.-General Tiburce Sebastiani and the Duke de Coigny. ,The details of this lamentable event, which took place at the hotel of Marshal Sebastiani, in the Rue de Faubourg Saint Honors, 55, near the British Embassy, are various in many respects; but all the accounts concur in stating that the Duchess, who arrived only on Tuesday evening from the country, had retired to bed at her usual hour, but very early in the morning the bell of her bed-room rang, and a servant rose and went to the room, but could not enter, it being bolted in the inside. The door was forced open, and the Duchess was found weltering in her blood from several stabs—not quite dead, but utterly unable to give any account of the murderer. She ex pired soon afterwards. As no robbery had been com mitted, it was evident that the act was one of private vengeance; but suspicion could not be fixed on any par ticular person, as the amiable character of the Duchess did not permit her to have a known enemy. The autho rities were instantly informed of the lamentable event, and by six in the morning the Procureur-General, M. Delangle, the Procureur du Roi, M. Boucly, and two examining magistrates, MM. Broussais and Legonidec, arrived at the house. All the servants were closely interrogated, as was also every person who called during the morning; and in the course of the day the police went to a boarding• school in the Marais, where resided an English governess who had lived with the Duke and Duchess, and who received a pension from the family. She was absent when they presented themselves, and all her papers were seized. It is not, however, be lieved that she is involved in the crime. During the whole of yesterday a large crowd was stationed opposite the door of the Duke's hotel, and various rumours were, as usual, current; but as few persons were allowed to quit the house, very little information could be obtained as to what was passing in it. The late Duchess had not yet reached her 42d year. She was alike remarkable for her elegance of manners and the superiority of her education; and, in addition to being an excellent mother, was distinguished for her active and extensive benevo knee. (From the Moniteur Parisien of Wednesday.) The Duke and Duchess arrived yesterday (Tuesday) evening, at about nine o'clock, treat a watering-place, with the intention of staying a few days in Paris before their return to the country. As they hall been for some time absent, they permitted, on their arrival, most of their servants to go and see their friends and relations, and to remain absent until tie following day. They kept near them only two or three persons. After seeing their children put to bed, the Duke and Duchess re tired to their separate apartments. Their servants who remained in the house, being, like their master and mis tn ss, fatigued with their journey, did the same, and everything was soon silent; but two or three hours afterwards, viz., towards two o'clock in the morning, the mike of a bell, irregu!arly rung, announced that the Duchess required the attendance of some person, and a servant rose and proceeded to the room of the Duchess; nut tt:e door was to-aened in the inside. The servant was about to retire, but, bearing some groans, forced open the door and enter. d, when a frightful sight pre sented itself. The Duchess was ling in her blood, which was flowing trom some large and deep wounds in the throat; her bands were covered with blood ; the mark of a bloody band was seen on the bell pull, showing that the Duchess had rung the bell after she was struck. Some hair torn from the head of the Duchess was lying on the floor, and showed that she had struggled with her murderer ; but there was no trace of any theft ; no drawer or secretary had been broken open, and there was merely a confusion as to the situation of some light furniture and moveable objects which might have been caused by the struggle or the precipitate flight of the assassin. The cries of the servant roused the Duke de Praslin, who hastened to the spot, and threw himself on the ,bleeding body of his wife which he embraced . Surgeons were instantly sent for, and every thing possible was done to save the Duchess, but unfortunately the wounds were too serious; she died two hours afterwards. The magistrates who who had arrived examined the hotel and its depen dencies, and endeavoured to find by what issue the mur derer could have escaped, but nothing could be ascer tained. The medical men who were present, amongst whom were MM. Orfila and Pasquier, were of opinion, from the appearance of the wounds, that they had been inflicted with a kitchen knife or a cutlass. (From the Patric) The Duchess de Praslin came from the chateau of Praslin to be present at a distribution of prizes at an in stitution where several of her children were placed. The Duchess, fatigued with her journey in the heat of the day, retired early to rest. Her femme- de-chambre was lodged above her. About half past four this morning, this woman was aroused by hearing the bell rung, and was surprised that her mistress should have awoke so early. The femme-de-chambre got up, dressed herself, and descended to her mistress's room, where a terrible spectacle struck her with astonishment and horror; the room was all in disorder; a pool of blood inundated the floor; and in the midst lay the unfortunate Duchess, the body still warm, having the bead nearly separated from the trunk. The fetrne-de-chambre gave the alarm, and the servants and family flocked to the spot. It was then found that nothing had been stolen; and it was re marked that the person or persons who committed the crime must have got into the hotel by the back, where there were houses in coast' uetion, and must have es caped by the same way. At six o'clock the Prefect of Police, the Procureur du Roi, and it is even said the Minister of Interior, were at the Hotel Sebastiani to commence an investigation. The hotel had all its issues carefully guarded, and last night the law officers were still on the premises. Marshal Sebastiani, the father of the Duchess, is at present absent in Corsica. Another account says : " The Duchess de Choiseul Praslin, who left Paris al the beginning of last week to visit her estate at Praslin, and be present at the distribution of the prizes of a school placed in some respect under her patronage, and in which two of her children are educated, returned to town on Tuesday evening. She intended to pass only one night in her hotel, and was to have left yesterday with the Duke her husband for Dieppe, where part of their house -11.11 had preceded them. Fatigued with her journey, the l)ut'hess went to bed at an early hour, and as per mission had been given to most of the domestic, to ab sent themselves, she remained in the hotel with her femme de chambre, who sleeps in the story above, a go verness of the children, and two male domestics. The hotel of the Marshal Sebastiani, which was occupied by the Duke and I)uohess de Choiseul Praslin with their family, only presents on the Faubourg St. Honot4 a very narrow façade, composed on the entrance door sustained by two columns, and of a small apartment on the right serving as a place for the concierge. After having passed the door a long avenue has to be traversed, at the end of which the façade of the hotel developes it self. The back of the hotel, or rather the second facade of the hotel, faces the gardens, which extend in the di r ection of the Champs Elyelks. The apartment of the Duchess . , de Praslin, situated on the ground floor but at a. certain height (a flight of six steps having to be ascended to reach it), is on the second façade, and the bed-chamber in particular, situated towards the south, has its windows on the garden. From eleven o'clock in the evening a profound calm reigned in the hotel, all the , lights were extinguished, and the concierge himself went to bed, thinking that every person was asleep. Between four and five o'clock, when it was broad daylight, the femme de chambre, who, as already said, slept above the apartment of the Duchess, was awakened by the noise of a bell pulled with violence. She rose in great haste, and ran to the apartment of her mistress, the door of which she in vain tried to open. She lis tened, and thought she heard a feeble groan; she then called the domestics to her help, and in uniting their efforts they succeeded in breaking the door open. They then saw lying on the floor, in the midst of a pool of blood, their unfortunate mistress, who appeared to give no sign of lite. A wound, in which three fingers could have been put, was seen gaping on the left side of the throat ; there were two other profound wounds in the breast, and a fourth had almost entirely separated the little finger from the right hand. These different wounds appeared to have been made with an instrument have a large double-edged blade. Every thing in the bed- room showed besides that, though sur prised in her slumber, the victim had offered a strong resistance to the murderer ; a little table had been overthrown; porcelains and some objects of art were spread about; the drapery on the wall bore the traces of a bloody hand, as did also the rope of the bell, the ringing of which had awakened the femme de chambre; mad finally between the clasped fingers of the left hand there was some of the murderer's hair, whilst a more considerable quantity of the hair, pulled out in the struggle, was scattered here and there on the floor, on which the coagulating blood had fixed them. The ma gistrates hastened to the theatre of the- crime. At the moment of their arrival a judicial examination was com menced. At the same time the medical men who bad been called in tried to save the Duchess. but their efforts were useless; she expired in some instants, without having been able to utter a single word, without even having recovered her consciousness. T'he very first ex aminations made by justice showed that no robbery had been committed or even attempted. The garden was examined with the most minute care in all parts, and was found in such a state that it was evident that no one had penetrated into it, either to enter or to leave the hotel ; and nowhere could any traces of breaking-in or of breaking-out be found. From seven in the morning until five o'clock in the afternoon, the Procureur-General, the Procureur du Roi, M. Broussais and M. Legonidec, juges de i'instruc tion, were occupied in interrogatories, at which the chiet C OWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (Fault OUX OWN COIMESPONDENT.) AUGUST 20.

Duke of 4 4trif e &We lit to the assistance of in is yak A man named Mann was tried last wee k by the Court of Assizes of the Bouches-du-Rhon e f or th e as sassination of his father-in-law, named Imbert. The prisoner was born at Strasburg, but got his living as a stonecutter at Marseilles. There he married the daughter of Imbert, at that time aged only 16. In 1846 t h e prisoner, his wife, and father-in-law went to live at Ala. The prisoner was remarka bly jealous of hi s w ife, even to the extent of seeing with pain her communications with her father. Notwithstanding this, he took one of his workmen, named Vogt, to live with him, and, having only one room, made him s l ee p in the same chamber as himself and wife. His business caused him frequently to be absent from home, and he never theless allowed . Vogt to continu e t o s l ee p in the same room with his wife. This led to a criminal inter course between them, and on his return home one even ing the prisoner found them in the same bed. Although he was of a violent and irascible character, he made no complaint or reproach at this discovery ; but his wife, fearing that his calmness was only the result of a de termination to take terrible vengeance, left him, and went with her children to reside I , z„ikher father. He complained of being thus abandoned, and accused Vogt of having taken away the woman. He, however, would not allow Vogt to quit him, or to cease to work with him. Having during a whole week made in vain repeated entreaties to his wife to return to him, he went one morning to her father's house, where he found them seated at table together. He again begged his wife to return to him, but she refused. He then cried, "A misfortune will occur?" At the same moment he seized a knife. His father-in-law begged him to lay it aside; he refused, because he said he intended to kill himself. " You are too cowardly for that!" retorted the father-in-law, thereupon the pri sorer rushed on him and stabbed him. The man cried "I am assassinated," and fell dead. The prisoner then stabbed his wife several times, though fortunately the wounds were only slight. He then rushed lip° the street covered with blood, and cried, " I ha% e done what I wished. I have satisfied my caprice." He held his young son by the hand , and said , '° Come my son, your father is about to die." He proceeded to his place of work, no one daring to stop them, and shouted to some men that if they did not fly he would kill them. He shortly after plunged a knife into his throat. With blood streaming from the wound, and with the blo&ly k n if e i n his hand, he hastened to the guard-house, i and said. " Arrest me ; I have just killed my lather in-law and my wife." At the same mome nt he fell exhausted. For some time after he was unable to s p eak, but he si gnified by signs that he killed those t wo p erson s . He was con veyerecover.d t A o the close hospital, w a t where, oh w a a placedft er a while, onhim, a keeper he began t o being continually b 3 the side of his bed. He neverthe less contrived to escape by rising one night, and putting on the clothes of another patient. Ile then hastened to his own house, where he found Vogt and his wife together. He tried to seize them, but they escaped. He then called the neighbours to bear testimony that adultery had been committed by them, and afterwards went to the commissary of polic e, and reconstituted wifehim gave evidence agai nst hi m , w ith great effrontery that she a se n l d f t a n pdroisionnger. so admitted rlis really did not know who was the . father of . the child wi h which she was enceinte. The prisoner said that all the with having carried facts alleged against him wer e true ; but he ple a d e d that the misconduct of his wife had. driven him to des peration, and he accused his father - in-law of having en oconuarnagiendoei s f luo li us e c e o v n e n n ex ch ti a o r n thgewdibimhis daughter.

It appeared in evidence, that the de ceased was discharged in July last, in consequence of misconduct, since which time he has been wan dering about the town almost in a state of destitu tion. The last time he was seen was in Portsmouth at three o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday. His body ‘s as found upon the slope leading to the rampart, at the end of High-street, at three on Sunday morn ing. He was perfectly insensible. There was a recent wound over the angle of the right eye, and some spots of blood traced from Barrack-street to near the place where the body was found, which appeared to be con nected with the circumstance of his death; but it appears some Marines had been fighting, which accounted for the blood. Deceased was removed to Portsmouth station. house, and afterwards to the union. He was diligently attended by Mr. Garrington up to the time of his death, which occurred about five o clock the same evening. Deceased remained insensible until about four o'clock. He had been bled, and became sensible for a few moments, when he asked the nurse for a pint of beer, for which he said he would pay to-morrow. The nurse asked if he had been fighting? He said no; and made some declaration that he had been struck by some person; but as it did not appear that the deceased was aware that he was in a dying state, the Coroner refused to take that declaration as evidence. The Coroner stated that any statement cal culated to criminate another was inadmissible, unless the party making it felt himself to be in a dying state ; and cautioning the jury not to allow it to operate upon their decision. Mr. Garrington, who examined the body, was of opinion that the death of deceased was from apoplexy, and that apoplexy was the result of either a fall or a blow. The Co roner observed that the police had been indefatigable since Sunday morning to unravel the circumstances con nected with his death. He put it to the jury whether the inquest should be adjourned or not ; but as it ap peared from the statement of Inspector Way, that it was not probable that he could produce further evidence, the coroner summed up, and the jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, returned: the; following verdict:— " That the deceased, John Hines, died of appoplexy, produced by external violence ; but bow such violence was inflicted, there was no evidence before them to show." —Hamp shire Guardian.

AN ORATRESS.—Abby Folsom preached a 4th of July oration, of two days' length, fr m her chamber window in Boston—commencing on Sunday, and getting through on Monday night. The Mail says—" She preached enough during the two days from her window to wear out the lunge of a lion and make au elephant hoarse. Her physical powers are tremendous, and her love of the freedom of speech stronger than death." — New York Mirror. We learn from Genoa that a duel, with swords, took place there on the 10th, between M. Geniole, a French artist, and the Chevalier Sebastien Fenzi, of Florence. The Chevalier received a wound in the breast, which, however, was not of an alarming cha racter. OBSEQUIES OF THE LATE DR. GRIFFITHS.—A solemn high mass and requiem were celebrated yester day at the Roman Catholic chapel of St. Mary's, Moor fields, on the occasion of the obsequies of the Right Rev. Dr. Griffiiths. The late reverend prelate held the rank in the Catholic Church of Bishop of Olena and Vicar Apostolic of the London district. The Right Rev.

DISTILLATION FRAM SUGAR.—" Mr. Green," said a tolerably-dressed female the other day, entering a grocery store in which were several customers, " have you any fresh corned pork ?" " Yes, ma'am." " How much is this sugar a pound ?" " One shilling, ma'am." " Let me have," she continued, lowering her voice, "half a pint of gin, and charge it as sugar on the book." — American Paper.

THE CHARTIST LAND SCHEME. Monday last being the day fixed tor a grand demonstration to cele brate the location of allottees on the Lowbands Chartist estate, at Redmarley, on the cerfines of Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, crowds of visitors began to arrive at an early hour. Notwithstanding the rain, the com pany, consisting of at least three or four thousand people, many of whom had arrived from many miles distance, remained patiently all day, hoping that the weather would clear up. A_ band of music was in attendance, and dancing, and a variety of amusements were in tended to form part of the day's proceedings, but the weather proved an effectual bar to enjoy ment. About fifty deligates were in attendance, prin cipally from the manutacturing districts of the north, and some from Scotland. These delegates are to hold a conference daily during the week on the affairs of the company. On the Lowbands estate forty five cottages have been built, and nave been allecatt d to that number of occupants. To the cottages are attached two, three, or tour acres of land, to be cultivated by spade hus bandry, and the pr prietors assume that out of this land the occupants will be able to maintain themselves in comfort, and pay interest in the shape of rent to the corn 131 . 1 y, at the rate of five per cent. on the outlay. All the delegates, and a large proportion of the com pany, appeared very sanguine as to the success of the plan. On the estate is an extensive building, intended to be used as a school, and also for lectures and social meetings of the co mmunity. At three o'clock the band, headed by a numbe r of 'banners, marched to a hustings which had been erected on the estate, but the audience that collected round it were informed that the rain would prevent Mr. O'Connor from addressing them, as it would be cruel to keep them longer exposed to such weather; and as to Mr. O'Connor himself, it was necessary that he should husband his strength in order to enable him to fight their battles in another place. After this announcement a great number of the com pany departed, but between five and six o'clock the weather improved, and during a cessation of the rain Mr. Feargus O'Connor, Mr. Donovan, and one or two other delegates, briefly addressed such of the compa n y as still remained, on the advantages of the land plan as a preventive of pauperism, and an encouragement of honest independence. A CHILD RESCUED FROM DlLOWlinerci.---A boat laden with salt was passing on the Regent's Canal, at Paddington, about half-past five on Thursday evening, when the boatman's daughter, a child ten years :of age, overbalanced herself. She was sinking from exhaus tion in eight feet of water, under a bridge, when Mr. H. J. Smith, the collector of the Regent's Canal Company, most humanely dashed into the water, with his clothes on, and succeeded in restoring the little girl to her agonised parents, who were unable to afford her any assistance.

Lola Montes, which, as will be remembered, was the cause of a great tumult at Munich in February last, has just put the town of Wurzbourg in commotion. The day before yesterday (Sunday), at about eleven o'clock in the evening, Mdlle. Lola Montes entered the King's Garden, the public promenade, followed by this animal, which, it appears, accompanies her whenever she goes out on foot. The sentinel placed at the gate of the garden told her that dogs were not admitted, and he stopped the passage with his bayonet. The impetuous Spaniard became irritated, and struck the soldier such a violent blow on the head with her parasol that his shako was knocked off. A crowd of persons assembled, and shortly after the commandant of a batta lion, chief of the post of the garden, presented himself to Mdlle. Lola Montes, with whom he was acquainted, and politely invited her to withdraw, in order not to cause a disturbance. Mdlle. Montes replied that before speaking to a lady of her rank he ought to take off his hat, and which she requested him to do. The officer declared to her, that, being in the discharge of his duties, he would not and ought not to uncover himself before any body, and that he would cause her to be arrested if she did not immediately go away. Mdlle. Lola Montes complied with this order—she returned to her hotel, fol lowed by a multitude of the lower classes, groaning at and hissing her without intermission. In the evening Mdlle. Montes went to visit a councillor of state. During this time crowds assembled betore the house and smashed the windows with stones. W hen, at a later hour, Mdlle. Montes returne t in a carri age to h er h o t e l, she was again insulted by the people, who stationed themselvesin all the neighbouring streets, and did not retire until after the military had been called out. The next day Mdlle. Montes left Wurzbourg to return td Munich." — The Brighton Gazette has the following: " The chronicles of scandal announce positively that the King of Bavaria has become wearied of the infamous Lola Mentes, and that he has airea ty taken a Russian Countess into favour in her place. But the bold Lola swears she will not be turned off, and vows vengeance on the Majesty of Ba varia. The King, it is added, is so frightened, that he runs from place to place to avoid her:' MARRIAGE EXTRAORDINAR Y .— Monday last was an eventful day in the village of Kirkcounell, Dumfries shire. Rich and poor, young and old, were early astir, bent on having a holiday. The opening of the Glagow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Railway, or a royal visit, could not have produced a greater sensation than the mere fact that Mr. John Hy slop, a farmer, High-Cairn, the oldest tenant of the " bold Buecleuch" in that district, had been proclaimed" on Sunday, and was on that day to be mar ried for the second time. Mr. Hyslop , though not a native of, has long been resident in, the parish of Kirkcon nell, and by perseverance and industry has now acquired a competency, being, as he himself says, " the proprietor of a nice bit lairdship in the parish of Dunscore." The l i late partner, to whom he hid been married for the long her period of sixty years , died about s ix months ago in ninetieth year. Throughout a wide extent of country they were familiarly known by the homely names of Johnny and Jenny , and a mor e lovin g couple, notwith standing the many peculiarities of both, we have seldom, if ever known. They had seen g row u p around them a numerous race of children, great, and great grand-children, when Jenny, in a ripe old age, was peacefully gathered to her fathers. This event had not long occurred, when Johnny, an enfeebled old man, who required to be taken to the field in a cart, to superintend the operations on his farm, like the eagles, seemed to " renew his youth," for he soon afterwards went "a wooing." Meeting with a number of refusals from those who might be considered like a 4. brave knight , ' 0.3 a footing of *quality, ho was somewha t daunted, but.l he determined " never to give up " till he had obtained a " help meet." A few weeks since he proposed to a buxom widow of about 60, a pauper on t u h a e me— "ga y w a l! ot hari o lands of Cairn to the paltry alms of Kirkconnell. That the parish, who, without hesitation, preferred the "broad" the widow had an eye to the main chance there can be no doubt, but with Johnny it must have been " all for her b y Iporvoev.speedily and the other arrangements having been also completed, provided after a three weeks' the "happy couple," withr Gibson— that in th acquaintance ship, were, on Monday last, presence of a few friends, united in the "holy bands of wedlock.

This great mortality is no doubt ring. that to the recent s carc i t y of potatoes and the hi g h price o f vegwtables generally. From the same repo rt it appears the number of deaths from all causes, registered during the past week amounted to 550 males, and 558 females—total, 1,108; he number of births registered in the same period being 639 males and 593 females —total. 232; the weekly average derived from deaths of 1842.3 4-5, and 6, and corrected for increase of population, being 479 males and 461 females—total, 940.

This continued dissipation so affected his mind, that he frequently acted in the most outrageous manner, and sometimes force had to be used to restrain his violence. On Thursday his behaviour was of a most violent character. Notwith standing the exertions of some of his neighbours, he proceeded up the Cowgate in an excited manner, threatening and assailing all he met. His attention was unfortunately directed towards a man of the name of John Scott, who was standing at the bottom of the Fish-market Close, and who, it is presumed, was obnoxious to Edie from the odium which attached to his profession, as being the common executioner for the city. After a brief altercation (though it is also said that no words were exchanged), Edie assaulted him in the most violent manner, knocking him down by repeated blows on the breast ; and on Scott being carried to an adjoining shop he was pursued thither by his assailant, who again struck him on the head, which produced immediate insensibility, and resulted in the death of Scott in a few minutes after wards. Scott bad been for a long time past in a deli. calm state of health, which it was supposed had rendered the assault fatal; but on a post mortem examination of the body on Friday by Dr. Tait, we understand that the cause of death was found to be suffusion of the brain, the result of the blow which Scott had received en the head while in the shop. Edie was immediately taken into custody, and after an i nve stigation of the case by the authorities he was committed to take his trial for the offence.—Edinburgh Witness. POISONING IN PRANCE.—An elderly man, named Descombes, and his son-in-law Couturier, were recently indicted before the Court of Assizes of the Ain for having poisoned Marguerite Descombes, daughter of the former prisoner. The deceased being of weak intellect, and unable to work, was a burden on the two prisoners and the wife of Couturier, her sister, all of whom were in a state of great poverty. One day, in March last, the two men went to a notary, and asked him if the deceased could not transfer to them her share in a house and a small parcel of land, which she possessed in common with her sister. The notary answered in the negative, on account of her state of mind. Some time satarwarcla el. ...buututler pre pared a supper, consisting of soup, for all four, and she partook of it in company with her husband and father. She then went away, leaving the two men alone in the room. Some time after the sister came home from church, took the soup, and in compliance with Couturier's request, drank rather more than usual. Shortly after she began to vomit, but Couturier would not allow his wife to approach her. He gave her wine and tea, which caused her violent pains and vomitings. Whilst this was going on her father came to her bed-side, and the deceased throwing her arms round his neck begged him to remain, but he re fused. As he was leaving the house, he said to a neigh bour, " My daughter is very ill; if I do not see her again alive, may God take her." All the next day and night she continued to suffer cruelly, especially when ever Couturier, who scarcely quitted her, gave her any thing to drink, though she was relieved by what her sister gave her. At last she died in great agony, and on her body being opened a large quantity of arsenic was found. There was no doubt that she had been poisoned. In addition to these facts it was proved that, about a month before the murder, the two prisonerst went to a druggist's to buy the arsenic, and wheni andhey received it, Descombes gave it to his son-in n;ake a said, , t Take care of 3cour conscience, and do but declared Couturier guilty, and the hearing hiin to death.

BURGLARY AT BIRMINGHAM. An atrocious burglary occurred in this town yes terday morning. The premises lately occupied by Messrs. Hall, grocers, High-street, in the Bull-ring, have recently been taken by Mr. J. St. Losky, im porter and manufacturer of cigars, of No. 9, Bishops gate-street-without, London. The house at present remains comparatively unfurnished, and Mr. St. Lcsky slept in the room behind the front shop. He retired to rest about half-past ten o'clrck yesterday night, and soon fell into a sound sleep. Ab :ut one o'clock in the morning on Thursday he was disturbed by a noise in the shop or his bedroom, and calling out " Who's there ?" he was immediately seized by the throat by a man whose figure he could discern by the feeble light which proceeded from the back window. Mr. St. Losky grappled with his antagonist, and both fell to the floor. Both parties cried aloud for assist ance, and in an instant a companion of Mr. St. Losky's assailant rendered his fellow aid, when Mr. St. Losky by strangulation and heavy blows on his head was rendered unable to offer any further resist ance to his assailants. The miscreants, conceiving that the cries of Mr. St. Losky had aroused some of the neighbours, made their escape through the back door. After some time Mr. St. Losky was enabled to make his way to the front in the Bull-ring, and the police, when all was over, having arrived, the premises were searched. It was then ascertained that the burglars had packed up two carpet bags of cigars ready for carrying off, and that they had succeeded in possessing themselves of about 30/. in cash, with which they have escaped. Mr. St. Losky's person presented a most frightful object. His head was most dreadfully beaten, and his night shirt saturated with blood. He was immediately conveyed to the hospital, where his wounds were dressed. We are happy to state that, although serious, they are not considered to be dangerous. The bed-room floor exhibited proof of a sanguinary struggle. There were pools of blood, and the walls stained with bloody hand marks. The burglars left behind them cloth boots of neat make, hats of high finish, ene of which was trimmed with mourning crape, and two jackets, all of which are in excellent condition.

FAILURE OF THE ATTEMPT TO DRAW OFF TIII R G e n p e e a r t T e r Bwarrt writes as e s .— fe A llow co a r : r_es , p , od D n un en d t ru o the S Bay, Saturday Evening.—When I wrote to you two days ag o of the Great Britain I little anticipat e d th e unexpected result of this day's labour. Sorry am Ito acquaint y ou that it has proved a most signal and decided fai lure, in the broadest sense of the word. Though aided by a Govern ment steamer (the Birkenhead), of 600 horse power, yet they could not move her one solitary inch, which seems a most incomprehensible thing, as the officers who conducted the experiment, engineers, &c., were so san guine of the result as to have all their luggage sent on board, so as to take a passage to Liverpool or Bristol in the ship. The conductors of the ' great experiment' have bi en most plentifully abused, and their abilities not a little que aioned by the thousands who have been watching the result in almost breathless anxiety for the last four days. Indeed, after ad that has been done, I am satisfied that no other like effort will be again tried, and that she will have to be broken up at once rather than be exposed to the effect of another winter on this iron-bound coast. Even the operation of taking her to pieces will be attended with vast expense, and must necessarily prove `a heavy blow and great discourage ment' to mercantile enterprise in building vessels of her class. It is altogether a most unfortunate affair, and this failure has again caused to be re-opened the now useless discussion of through what misfortune, fatality, ill-judgment, or whatever other cause, she ever came here.
