The investigation made at the residence of Mdlle. de Luzy-Desportes, at Paris, had especially for its object, it is said, the discovery of a box, in v, hich she placed her correspondence. Mdlle. de Luzy-Desportes was not examined yesterday ; but among the witnesses who were examined, was the mistress of the school in the Rue du Harlay, where Mdlle. de Luzy-Desportes resided. The death of the Duke de Praslin requires the Court to decide on the question, whether its jurisdiction, which only reached the other accused by way of connexity, must not terminate, and at what moment the functions of the examining committee shall cease. This is an unex ampled incident in the precedents of the Court of Peers." We read in the Dahats:— " From the morning of yesterday the state of M. de Praslin caused his immediate decease to be antici pated. Several attacks of delirium manifested them selves ; yet about four o'clock he was able to receive the last sacraments from the Cure de St. Jacques de Haut Pas, in presence of several persons and of thea . :espse k tod e c e okt p foe e tt s r lhi s evo o efro f . the prison. At five o'clock he had his u itet willdressin g. h b er magistratesge m o w e m n b a e remember ed epfdluthat containingi a no e r e t the laudanum. M. de Praslin had just swallowed a part of it, but sufficient remained at the bottom of the bottle to be submitted to a chemical analysis: The contents of the phial, and the matter vomited by the Duke at the moment of which the first symptoms of the poisoning manifested itself, were confided by the Court of Peers to the examination of M. Chevalier, professor of chemistry at the Ecole Central° de Pharmacie. The result of this analysis was consigned in a proces-verbal, which will be published. The presence of arsenic, in sufficient quantity to cause the death of several persons, was shown in those different matters, that is to say, in the substance contained in the phial, and in the vomitings which followed the poisoning. It is announced that the au topsy of the corpse will take place this day." • The Constitutionnel says— " The examining magistrate, M. Legonidec, pro ceeded on Sunday morning to the château of Vaux. The search instituted there lasted until Monday even ing, and M. Legonidec returned yesterday morning to Paris. A great reserve is naturally imposed on us relative to what has been officially discovered, but the following is what was spoken of openly in the neigh bourhood. The magnificence of the château in the time of Fouquet is well known. M. de Praslin had expended considerable sures to restore to its ancient splendour this seat, spoken of by La Fontaine, Pelis son, and Mme. de Sevigne. He had thoroughly re paired the salle des garden, which is eighty feet high. It would be impossible to depict the grief and consternation in which the country is thrown by the late frightful catastrophe : Mme. de Praslin was ex ceedingly charitable, and particularly good to the poor. Some notes of her expenses, found in her bed room, give proof of her kindness. By the side of money given her by the Duke for her toilette, may be read, 'loof. given to the femme T— to help her to get a substitute for her son.' 50f. sent to R—, whose wife has lately lain in.' Proofs of her charity are also found in the account of alms entrusted to the clergy of the neighbourhood. The misunderstanding between her and her husband, which had increased after 1843, when Mdlle. de Luzy entered the family, was known to every one. The domestics had spoken of stormy scenes which took place, and a sad presentiment,• appeared to agitate Ma dame de Praslin,! who was always in low spirits. A. femme de chambre states that the Duchess was walking in the park a month back, when the Duke came to ask her to visit the family vault at the château, which had been just repaired. 'For what purpose ?' said she ; ' shall I not soon descend there &Or ever ?' The official search has brought to light in the Duchess's chamber a number of papers sealed with black wax, on the envelope of which is written in her hand, ' For my husband ; to be opened after my death.' These papers have not been yet opened, this mission being left to the Duke Pasquier. A bulky manuscript was also discovered, containing private memoirs which the Duchess had written, and in which she gives an account of the happy years of her marriage, with her subsequent chagrins. In the Duke's apartment the search was for a long time fruitless, but at last in the secret drawer of a cabinet was found a great number of letters, said to be from Mdlle. de Luzy, signed Azelee,' and all com mencing by these words, Mon cher Theobald: Other important letters were found in the same place. It would appear that a long correspondence had taken place lately between the Duke and Duchess, referring principally to the misunderstanding sub sisting between them. Some letters of Marshal Sebastiani, sometimes relating to money matters, and at others reprimanding in pretty sharp terms his son in-law for his conduct to his wife, are also in the hands of justice. It is by mistake that it has been announced that Mdlle. de Luzy is not au secret at the Conciergerie ; this measure is, on the contrary, rigorously enforced in her case. She is allowed to walk every day for two hours in the inner court, when every one else is shut up. In her times of exer cise she appears sad and pensive. The description given of her in the journals is not altogether correct. She is dressed simply, but is not wanting in distinc tion and grace. Her figure has lost the suppleness and elegance of youth; her eyes, which are encircled with a dark ring, have an intelligent expression ; her complexion is pale, and denotes fatigue ; her hair, of dark brown, is arranged with taste. She wore yes terday a nankin dress, a black scarf, and a straw bonnet with a lilac ruche. She was walking slowly, the arms crossed on the breast, and her head bent down." HORRIBLE DISCLOSURES OF DE PRAVITY IN NOTTINGHAM. NOTTINGHAM, THITRSDAT.—Another discovery has recently been made, in this town, of a woman named Ann West, alias Wood, residing in Roses-row, Bel lar-gate, carrying on the most horrible system of procuring abortion by the use of instruments. The facts, so far as their revolting nature will admit of publication, we subjoin. Yesterday (Friday) fortnight, Inspector Wilkinson proceeded to the house of Mrs. Boots, Nile-row, in consequence of having received information that a young woman named Sarah Henson had there been delivered of a male child, which was dead, improper means having been employed to cause its birth. He found the female in bed, and also obtained the body of the child. After leaving a man in charge of the body, Wilkinson went to Mr. Michael Browne, the coroner, who directed him to take some is m on ed er ic ,s al h m en to see the female. He did so, and then callin g upon superintendent Raynor, went in quest of i of tn th hewe-omabaon- Wood, and apprehended her at nine o ' c l oc k that even winasg. se O ar n eh t e h d e , f m, o , l h lo en w i t n h g e i i n a o s r tr n a in ni g en t t h s e pr inmiAnanbleinpqruaecstticewwasereepfeozdat th at box. ox. Ouse watchhouse, and adjourned until yesterday, when the examination was fully gone into at the Exchange Hall. From the evidence then adduced, it appeared that Henson had been directed by a young woman with whom she had become acquainted, and who was aware of her condition, to apply to the pri s on e r, being told that ;he would do what was necessary for her for a sovereign. Henson first made app li c ation to the prison e r on S un d a y, August 1, when she cal led upon her wen a t tt to her e o o w p operated being then arranged, the misguided following, the more pri soner telling her that it would d o similarly rno hdealtarm , with.than a hundred having been .

TRIGGE R, THE SPORTSMAN, Let me give you a sketch of my friend, Mr. Trigger, A sportsman who outs a respectable figure ; When only a boy, Mr. Trigger reveard A firm predilection for sports of the field; And still he retains (as he ever has done) The highest respect for his dog and his gun. Mr. T. takes the highest delight, as he ought, In whatever may chance to pertain to the sport. He rubs up his " stock," and he sponges his barrel, And he takes special care of his sportng apparel; He brightens his flask, and his pointer and setter Are healthy and active, and none are train'd better. As soon as the season for sporting comes on, Mr. Trigger makes friends with E. MOSES and SON ; And many a coat for the field has be bought, Neat, novel, and fitting, and durably wrought. He went to the warehouse a few days ago, His favours on MOSES and SON to bestow; For MOSES and SON'S are the coats he prefers, And ne'er on their dress does he cast any slurs. My friend, Mr. Trigger, has often avow'd, That any but these could not pass in a crowd. May every good reader who sports with a gun, • Learn duly to value E. MOSES and SON ; And dress for the field like my friend, Mr. Trigger, Who cuts such a very respectable figure. LIST OF PRICES. MADE TO NIZAISIIRE.

Diffidence, or a sense or right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un comprosing 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 tkat health should form an item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Bligle ted hopes or neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

(before TitOMAS STARKIE, Esq.) CLERC V. JONES. John Samuel Clerc, George the Fourth, Copen hagen-street, Islington, plaintiff; and John Henry Jones, of Church row, High-street, Islington, and of the New Bunhill-fields Cemetery, Church-street, Islington, defendant. This action was brought to recover the sum of 51. 18s. 6d., which the plaintiff claimed of the defen dant as follows-31. 3s. for money paid by the plain tiff on the Ist of May last for the purchase of a grave in the New Bunhill-fields Cemetery, and 2/. 15s. 6d. the burial fees charged for the interment of plaintiff's mother Mary Clerc. Mr. mother, said his client complained that he had paid his money in consequence of the defendant's representations that the burial -ground in question was consecrated ground. The defendant called his brother, Evan Jones, who stated that Mr. Clerc called upon him, a day or two after taking the ground, and expressed his dissatisfac tion. He thought he had taken ground to bury his mother in that was consecrated ground, and that the service would be performed by a clergyman of the Church of England. He found it was not so, and he therefore required his money back again, which was not given. The JUDGE—WeII, I think this proves that Mr. Clerc did consider that he was about placing the remains of his mother in consecrated ground, and that the Church of England service was to be per formed by a clergyman of the Church of England, and it appears that this was not the case ; and, there fore, I think the plaintiff is entitled to have his money back.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The Duc de Praslin has committed sui cide in the cell of his prison in the Luxembourg. The necessities of justice and the indignation of the people have been equally defrauded of their legitimate desire. How, or when, or where the wretched murderer obtained the poison which enabled him to escape from the indignities of a trial that could have had no result but the scaffold for himself, and infamy for the children of the unfortsfnate lady whom he so barbarously put to death, the French journals give us no satisfactory account. The palpable insinuations, however, of the anti-dynastic party, and the flimsy excuses of the organs of the Chateau, seem equally to point at the same conclusion—that it was not without permission from a high quarter that the Duc de Praslin obtained the means of putting an end to his most wretched existence. It is impossible, with every desire to be credulous, to attach much credit to the statements, put forth on autbority, of the manner in which the Duke committed suicide. Up till the account we published to-day it was generally be lieved that laudanum was the particular poison he had employed. He was represented as having swal lowed the fatal draught at his own house. The most eminent physicians in Paris were called in to ad minister remedies, but until yesterday evening we heard nothing of any doubt as to the nature of the particular poisons. More than this, no mention was made of this attempt at self-destruction until after he had been in the custody and under the watch of the police. Cn referring back to the accounts which we published from day to day, it will be found that there was no talk of poisoning at all until the Duke had been put under careful surveillance. M. Allard and his agents are not men from whose vigilance it is easy to escape. The prisoner could not have moved or breathed without their connivance or their permis sion. We can ourselves have no doubt that the Duke de Praslin swallowed poison on two distinct occasions. The first time was at his own house; and when he had been recalled to life by the efforts of the physicians it was necessary to call in, the means were furnished him of repairing his first failure in his cell at the Luxembourg. We have but little doubt that on the first occasion the Duke swallowed lauda num ; on the second, arsenic. An explanation put forth by the Journal des Debats, that after his arrest a phial was discovered in the pocket of his dressing gown, which had contained a mixture of laudanum and arsenic, appears utterly incredible. Do men ordinarily commingle these poisons ? No, it was ne cessary to explain away the laudanum in the first, and the arsenic in the second instance ; and, there fore, the idea was devised of the Duke swallowing a mixture of the two poisons.ln order to free the Go vernment from suspicion, it has been further declared that the:swallowing of this compound potion took place at a period antecedent to the arrest of the Duke. The facts, however, do not stand so, or all the accounts we have received hitherto must be incorrect. With regard to the second dose (if a second dose was in deed taken), it must have been in the prison of the Luxembourg, under the very eye of M. Allard and his lynx-eyed agents, that the potion was taken. Can we, then, resist the conclusion that, in permit ting the prisoner to commit an act of self-destruction, Allard was acting upon high authority ? If this he so, we much doubt whether the Government have been well advised in permitting the prisoner to escape from the sword of justice. It was quite competent for them to treat this as an isolated crime, in which they or their policy were no more concerned than in the atrocities of the lowest culprit who might be arraigned before the criminal tribunals. Consider for a moment the facts of the case—what had they to do with politics or political men ? A man no way distinguished in the public affairs of his country, except by the chance accident of station, in the dead hour of night entered the chamber of his sleeping wife, and with a deadly weapon, and under circumstances of peculiar cruelty, put her to death. The cause of the crime, as far as we can understand it, was that the Duchess had, on the night of the murder, violently reproached him for an improper intimacy with a lady who had been the gover ness of their nine children. Nothing more—nothing less ;—these, in few words, seem the facts of the case. Let justice be done to the Government. It is difficult to decide how far the commission of a particular crime may be attributable to the moral atmosphere and influence by which the guilty party is surrounded. We cannot, therefore, with accuracy determine whether or no, if the Duke de Praslin had been a peer of the Court of Queen Victoria, he might have committed a similar crime. But certainly nothing could be more contrary to the interests of the Government than the scandal result ing from such an act at the present moment. It is more likely to exercise an unfavourable influence upon their fortunes than a systematic sapping and mining of the public liberties for twenty years. The Go vernment had but one only chance, which was to hand the Duke de Praslin over to the public indigna tion. The blood of the murderer as it flowed upon the scaffold would have washed away whatever share even malice might have attributed to them in his guilt. That was the only means of compurgation left them, and that they have refused. Far be it from us to join in the c r y, b u t we f o i esee t h at this most injudicious withdrawal of a culprit from the jus tice of the public tribunals will be turned against the French Government, in order to father upon them vices other than those they possess. We do not, however, even by an insinuation, mean to attribute any share to the leading people of Paris in this most horrible and revolting crime. But it would be in vain to deny that a profound demoraliza tion does at this moment exist in the very heart of French society. Take the recent State trials, and let the French officials be judged by the opinion en tertained of them by the French public. Look again at the transactions which are now taking place at Madrid. The intrigues of a brothel have there been substituted for the policy of statesmen. It has be come impossible, from a regard to decency, to review with the severity it deserves the Spanish policy of the Rue des Capucines. We will not, however, pursue the subject further in connexion with the suicide of the Duke de Praslin. If the French Government have connived at it, they will soon find cause to re pent their error. It is not probable that we have yet come to the end of this disastrous tale. POST.—The Duke of Newcastle is assailed with sneering abuse by two " Liberal" journals because he has corrected an error promulgated by the Times regarding his conduct as a public man, and has ex pressed his indignation at the unjust aspersions which have been cast upon him. The Times stated in one of its leading articles, some short time ago, that the Duke of Newcastle had dismissed Lord John Manners from the Parliamentary representation 'of Newark. The words were, that " Lord John did not stand in spection at Newark, and has been cashiered, and he is now looking for a more generous and more modern patron than the Lord of Clumber." This was written in ignorance of the real facts of the case, and the Times is displeased that its ignorance in any matter, whether great or small, should be exposed. But though the Times may, after its manner, cast ridicule upon the Duke of Newcastle, the fact remains that the Times pub lished what was not true. Lord John Man ners never owed his seat for Newark to the patronage of the Duke of Newcastle. The pa tronage under which he was introduced to the elec- ;ors of that borough was that of the uncle of one )f the present Members. The Duke of Newcastle :►either gave nor took away the seat for Newark, and :he Times made its statement under erroneous infor- mation. But the Times has too much pride and too little honesty to confess this. It cannot, indeed, maintain that what is said on the 13th instant was true, but it evades the point, in order to prattle some very heavy pleasantry about D u k es , an d to make another blunder respecting Lord John Manners. The Times, without confessing its error, attempts to ac count for it by stating th a t " Lord John mani fested certain free-trad e t en d enc i es, " and that as the Duke of Newcastle l oa th es th e system." The Times is wrong. Lord J o h n M anners h as no t manifested free-trade tendencies, and the Duke of Newcastle ap proves of everything in his public character except what his Grace regards as the Noble Lord's bias to Roman ism. The Duke of Newcastle " wished him to remain" Member for Newark because he believes that " a more promising young man, one of more exalted views and higher principles, of more inflexible integrity, with perfect amiability and all the best qualities of head and heart that can adorn the Christian and patriot senator, would with difficulty be found in her Ma jesty's dominions." This is what the Duke of New castle says, but the Times said, on the lath instant, that Lord John was cashiered from Newark because the Duke of Newcastle no longer approved of him. The Chronicle, which must try also to be sarcastic on the occasion, evidently still labours under the same misinformation which induced the Times to say what it did on the 13th. Unquestionably, the Duke of Newcastle has very considerable influence in the borough of Newark, which influence he uses to the great advantage of the House of Commons and the country ; but that both Members for Newark owe their seats to his influence is no more true than that two and one are similar numbers. CHRONICLE. —The tide of popular discontent in France threatens to rise to a still more formidable height, in consequence of the death of the Duke de Praslin, under the circumstances related in another column. Even in ordinary times, when popular sus picion h a d not b een awakened, the escape of so atrocious a criminal from the vengeance of the law renderwould have sneh baeeennnattributedculpable imtopnassible. neg i l f e , cats in on the part of the a uth or i t i es, whose first duty And it was to the present instance, exalted station had been com bined with almost incredible brutality, the imputa tion would not have been unnatural that the autho rities looked upon suicide as one of the indefeasible privileges of the peerage, and that the opportunities left open for its commission were nowise accidental, but accorded as a special right. Of course on the present occasion such suspicions are aggravated a hundredfold; and there is no extreme of prejudice and misconception which the popular sentiment is not prepared to accept as fact. It is unnecessary to say that we do not ourselves participate even in the more modified form of these suspicions, or attribute the facility of which the Duke unfortunately availed himself but too successfully to any connivance of aforethought on the part of the authorities, or even of the inferior officials who had charge of the culprit's person. It is impossible to believe that the French Government could have had any part in facilitating an event which must tend not a little to add to their unpopu larity, and increase the difficulties of their already most uncomfortable position. It is not, however, in the isolated changes of which it may hereafter become the pretext, but in its general effect on the temper of the public mind, that the ominous nature of such an occurrence at the present juncture can be appreciated. Taken by itself, there is nothing very surprising in the fact, that once in a hundred years the peerage of England or of France should number among its members a murderer like Ferrers or like Praslin. The wonder to us is rather that there should not be more frequent instances of crimi nal atrocity among a class who are exposed to such powerful temptations, and whose career, at the age when character is formed, is too seldom subjected to wholesome restraints. Fortunate it is, indeed, that such instances are infrequent, for society is so con stituted, that one act of this nature, committed by a man of exalted rank, not only makes more noise in the world than would hundreds of such crimes com mitted by the needy, the ignorant, and the obscure, hut it is attended likewise by political consequences which would never flow from successive generations of common-place vulgar villains. Instances of all this are plenty, if we had time or space to recount them. This identical history of France, of which we are this moment chronicling the latest chapter, sup plies enough and to spare. It was not, for instance, the selfishness, or stupidity, or voluptuousness of Louis XV. that made him odious to his people, but the incredible falsehoods w hi c h th ey b e li eve d o f him. It was not the actual part aux cerfs, but the imaginary baths of human blood with which that monarch was supposed to refresh his jaded powers, that first began to make the name of king abhorrent to the most loyal and devoted people in the world. It was not the average condition of the inmates of the Bastile—often not only endurable, but luxurious- but the special indignities inflicted on De Latude, that made that prison the symbol of unjust authority to such an extent, that in its fall the knell of the monarchy itself was sounded. It was not her actual pardonable coqueteries, but the abominable;l;K; of which Rohan was the pretext, and Egalit6 the abettor, that brought Marie Antoinette to the guillo tine. This is the secret of all revolutions. It is not the facts which the populace believe, but the mytho logy of incredible imputations with which they generalise those facts, that undermines that basis of public reverence on which alone all law and authority can safely rest. It is thus that the isolated offences of Teste and Cubieres, and the guilt of Praslin, may feed the fuel of the popular discontent, and become the source of the most sweeping and indiscriminate condemnation of the classes to which they belonged. It is a long time, ind'ed, since individual offences have found public opinion in France so morbidly jealous and susceptible. Not perhaps since that un paralleled case of the diamond necklace, which, just sixty years ago, damaged irretrievably for her life• time the fair fame of Marie Antoinette, lost her the respect of her people, and became to thinking and ob servant men the herald of inevitable revolution.

TO THE LADIES. This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news paper on Aug. 7, 18 16. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the llerbary, High gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using itahout four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than I ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11 s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume its far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above fact,.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ale w drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coining away with the comb, make it strong, and "revent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; its refreshing adour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion o the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops n the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an our. Its most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces air ou children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' cads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.--See pamphlet of testimonials.

PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY. —This being the anni versary of Prince Albert's birthday all the ships in harbour were dressed in colours in honour of the oc casion, and the salutes incidental to such commemo rations were duly fired. We are happy to be enabled to allay the fears of such as have relatives or friends in the Philomel, 10, Commander W. Wood. We have received advices to-day from her, dated St. Nicholas and Portendic. All were well, and the ship had been very fortunate, having taken a prize immediately on her arrival off the coast of Africa, on th e most remo t e part of which she is stationed, which accounts for no information being obtainable respecting her at Ascension by the late advices. The Britomart, 10, Comma n d er Chamberlain, was complete in her extra fitment s on Monday, shipped her specie (10,0001.) for Sierra Leone on Tuesday, and sailed immediately afterwards from Barnpool for the coast of Africa. Rear-Admiral Shireff, late Captain-Superintendent of Chatham Dockyard, is nominated to succeed Rear Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, C. 8., as Admiral-Super intendent of this establishment. Sir Harry Smith and staff will go out to the Cape of Good Hope in a man-of-war, because, although several competent to afford him ample accommoda tion are fitting at this and other ports, not one can be got ready in a sufficiently short number of weeks to embark the gallant veteran ; consequently the General will avail himself of the Vernon, merchantman, one of Green's fleet. It does not augur well for the ma chinery of our immense marine resources, when we are compelled to send our g overnors to the seats of their commands in other than Government vessels. There is one morsel of consolation, however, for Sir Harry—merchantmen, whether sailors or steamers, never break down ! PRINCE ALBERT'S BIRTHDAY. Yesterday being the 28th anniversary of the natal day of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, was cele brated by the usual observances of bell-ringing and cannon-firing. The royal standard was hoisted at the Tower, Somerset-house, the Italian Opera, Hay market, and the steeples of the various churches and public edifices. The vessels in the docks and river, both British and foreign, hoisted their colours, and at one o'clock the Park and Tower guns fired a royal salute, which was responded to by the battery at Woolwich, Tilbury Fort, Chatham, and the ships of war in the river. The officers of the 3d Regiment of Foot Guards, or Scots Fusiliers, of which his Royal Highness is Colonel, had their usual banquet on the occasion. WINDSOR, THURSDAY EVENING. —The 28th birth day of his Royal Highness the Prince -Consort was celebrated here to-day by the ringing of the joy -bells both at the church and castle, and repeated salvos of artillery from the Belvidere battery, near Virginia Water, and from the corporation ordnance in the Bachelors'-acre. Public dinners in honour of the day were given at the Adelaide hotel, and also in the great chamber of the Town-hall; the latter under the presidency of the mayor of the borough, supported by the Members for the borough, several dignitaries of the Church, the officers of the regiments in the garri son here, and a large number of the neighbouring gentry, magistrates, and members of the municipal council. At night the town was very generally illu minated. James Morris, Esq., is the gentleman recommended by the Court of Directors of the Bank of England, to fill the vacancy of Governor, occasioned by the retirement of William E. Robinson, Esq. DEATH OF THE DUKE DE PRASLIN. M: de Praslin died on Tuesday afternoon, about five o'clock, in the prison of the Luxembourg. The cause of his death has been ascertained. It was with arsenic in a large dose that he poisoned himself, at the moment when he found the charges against him had become sufficiently grave to render his arrest and prosecution necessary. The severe vomitings which he experienced on Wednesday evening, and in the course of Thursday, appear alone to have retarded the effects of the poison, which, after being checked on Friday and Saturday, on Sunday resumed its former force. It is stated that since his arrival at the prison all attempts to obtain from him in his weak state any confession or explanation of the murder was fruitless. The Patrie states that he sometimes replied to the questions which were put to him in a vague and evasive way, and at other times said, " I know no thing." It is added that he has not had an hour's sleep since the order was first given for bis being considered in custody garde a vue. The Gazette des Tribunaux, after announcing the death of the Duke, says : " We said yesterday that the precise moment at which the Duke put into execution his project of suicide was not known; but front the 19th August, as we reported, a grave change in the state of his health created alarm sufficiently serious to cause M. Louis, his medical attendant, to be sent for, and, as the symptoms continued the same, and with greater violence, up to the moment of his death, it must be concluded that the poisoning took place on the 19th, and perhaps even on the first day of the preliminary examination—that is to say, at the moment at which the Duke felt, from the questioning of the magistrates, all the gravity of his situation. The physician who attended the Duke attributed his state only to the moral emotions by which he was agitated. But soon after the result of the investigation in the house gave a new direction to the appreciations of the physicians. The Duke, who had been made to quit his bedroom, was conveyed to a room on a higher story, and in a drawer of his table the broken handle of a poniard and a piece of the blade of a poniard, on which were some spots of blood, were discovered. Three little phials were also seized. In the course of this investi gation one of the agents placed under the direction of the Chief of the Secret Police, and who had aided the domestics to convey the Duke, who was too weak to walk to the other room, deposited in the hands of the Juge d'lnstruction a little bottle containing a white substance, and a cambric pocket handkerchief stained with blood. They had been found in one of the pockets of the dressing-gown. It appears that at that moment the sufferings of M. de Praslin were such that it was impossible for the magistrates to question him on this new discovery. The contents of the three phials found in the table, as well as that seized in the pocket of the dressing-gown, were analysed by M. Chevalier, professor at the Ecole de Pharmacie. The result of this examination was that two of the three phials discovered in the table were found to con tain laudanum, the third nitric acid, and that which was delivered by the magistrate to the agent oon tained a very small quan ti t y o f w hite arsenic mixe d It with laudanum, w hi c h h a d l e ft it a yellow tin t I was evidently th e con t en ts of this phial thatthe Duke had swallowed, for the exami n ation of the different i morbid symptoms, and the aealy s a b sor ption of that dvomit ings,ouble showed that there bad been an ton of the oment of that discovery, double poison. all the exertions of d to combat the effects of the Louis were employe d From Doctors them Andral, Rouget, and swallowed, had not iytheprogdrueactedqumanotritatyl state of the Duke seemed poison, which, by reason c onsequences. nlm immediately under the influence of the employed, and it was possible transfer him on the 21st to the prison of the Lux to on his arrival, he was made to change energetic at first t t e rea i t m a T i P en ee t ve Lux embourg, where, his clothes. A lthou g h, during the passage, the vo. ml *tings took place severa l times, there was reason to believe that his state was far from being desperate, and it was possible for the committee of examination to static:A him to an interrogatory. The improve ment in the state of the Duke appeared likely to con tinue on Monday ; but in the afternoon the symptoms of the poisoning re-appeared with fresh'intensity, and all the resources of science remained powerless. In the night the danger made new progress, horrible sufferings tortured the Duke, and all the characte ristics of death presented themselves. Yesterday morning the Cure of St. Jacques de Haut Pas was called to the Duke, and conversed with him. Soon after the sufferings returned with greater violence, and the last agony commenced. It is said that an examination of the corpse will take place to-morrow in the pre sence o f a mag i strate spec i a lly delegated.
