He saw only one, but he did not go to the bottom of the box. The music was turned up on one side, and therefore some thing had got under it. The music had been laid in flat. He believed he saw chesnuts, but. was not certain. M. Nassau, advocate at Confolens, deposed to having beard Denis Barbier, only the day before, speak in most violent terms against Mme. Laffarge. Denis told him that she had fed her husband on poison for a whole fort night ; that it was not the first time that she had done things of the kind ; and that once at her father's house, by removing the supports from a drawbridge, she had caused a gardener to be drowned. Denis had felt sick two or three times the day before, on hearing evidence favourable to the prisoner. Here the proceedings for the day closed, and the Court adjourned till the morrow.

If we reflect on the Divine end of of our existence, on the nature of our being, and on the for th °or creation, we will be convinced that we were intended Nee t°.loyment of perpetual happiness, and that, if the Di ,,Onnands S t had been obeyed from the beginning, neither ekness, nor any other calamity could have occurred to si lo ;Met our felicity. One act of disobedience committed by ta r‘d r i St parents caused them to be expelled from the terrestrial te rra se, and subjected the whole human race to suffer Ited e e nts, from which dreadful fate we were saved by the Divine slwe'mer having paid our ransom. This unmerited favour " 4 never be forgotten by us, and should make us have a d ono r of sin, the cause of the infinite sufferings which he en- V i l for the love of us, and of all the evils that ever have or can n etsi mankind.

There were, the Alderman said, in tha t populous dist rict, a num erous class, who could not command those facilities and a id s f or the acquisition of knowledge w hich might be obt a i ne d by i the union of members. This nstitution was parti cu l ar ly qualified to extend useful information and promote mental ' improvement. The Lord Mayor felt great pleasure in ac quiescing, and expressed a hope, and belief that the experi ment would be as successful as it was enlightened. (From the Edinburgh Courant.) A public meeting of those who disapprove of the re solution of the West Kirk Session, prohibiting the interment of the dead on the Lord's day,:n as held in the Rev. Dr. Peddie's Church, Bristo-street, on Tuesday night. Sir John Graham Dalyell in the chair. The Church was quite crowded. The Chairman having explained the object of the meeting, Councillor M'AuLav rose to move the fist resolu tion. He rose, he said, with feelings of deed regret, mingled with feelings of very great pleasure. He re gretted that men of learning—men who moved in high circles—men who stood in high places, should be guilty of an encroachment on the liberties of the best portion of mankind—the labouring classes. He rejoiced, how ever, to think that those classes not only knew, but had enough of courage and independence amongst them to maintain their rights.—(Hear, hear.) The resolu tion which he had to propose was this :—" That this meeting has learnt with regret the late determina tion of the West Kirk Session, whereby funerals on the Sabbath day are prohibited ; and they consider such a resolution as altogether uncalled for, as no substantial reason can be assigned why the inhabitants of St. Cuthbert's should be deprived of this ancient privilege."—(Cheers.) The Kirk-Session of St. Cuthbert's were the only parties in Edinburgh who thought it necessary that there should be any such restriction. It was quite true that an attempt was made to get the Town Council to shut the Greyfriars' Church-yard on the Sunday ; but he was happy to say that the attempt had been repelled with success. He was sure that every one who heard him would agree with him in thinking that the matter should be left en tirely to the good sense and good feeling of those whose relatives are dead. Two instances had lately come un der his knowledge—and he was ready to give the names of the parties, if necessary—where, for want of suffi cient companies to attend the funerals, carts had been hired to carry the corpses—thus treating the poor rather like dead horses than Christians. He had said the rich could bury their dead when they pleased, but what was it the rich were not allowed to do ?—(Hear.) The rich could travel on Sunday—the poor could not. The rich could cook on Sunday—the poor dare not. The poor man was not even allowed to be buried on the Sunday.—(Loud cheers.) Mr. M'Aulay concluded by moving the first resolution, which was seconded by Mr Mackintosh. Mr. J. DENHAM moved the second resolution— " That this meeting is of opinion that the burial of the dead on the Sabbath is not a desecration of that day but rather calculated to solemnise and prepare the mind for the performance of its sacred duties ;" which motion was seconded by Mr. Cotton, tobacconist, Potterrow. Bailie THOMSON said that some time ago, when the subject was agitated in the Town Council, he took some little interest in the matter, and had various meet ings on the subject with the Kirk• Sessions and others ; but he must say that the arguments used at these meetings in favour of abolishing funerals on the Sabbath, not only failed to convince him of the pro priety of supportinc , such a resolution, but satisfied his mind more strongly than ever, that it would be very improper. With the assistance of other members of Council, he was then enabled to resist the attempt with reference to the Greyfriars' Churchyard, and he hoped they would be equally successful on this occasion.— (Cheers.) He moved, " That the abolition of funerals on the Sabbath day is, in the opinion of this meeting, not only an encroachment upon that liberty which all are entitled to, namely, to judge for themselves as to the most suitable time for burying their dead, but presses with peculiar hardship on the working classes who find its operation not only oppressive, but in many instances seriously inconvenient." This resolution was seconded by Mr. Miller. Mr. THOMAS IRELAND then moved that a commit-. tee (whom he named) be appointed to communicate the resolution to the West Kirk Session, and, if need ful, hold a conference with them, and endeavour to prevail upon them to rescind their obnoxious resolu tion, and to report to another meeting, to be held not later than three weeks. Mr. ADIE, journeyman mason, here rose and said, that as no operative had yet. spoken, he begged leave to say a few words on the subject, which was one in which the rights of workmen were deeply involved. The resolutions which had hitherto been proposed merely remonstrated with the West Kirk Session against their recent regulation. He thought they should do more than this ; they should be prepared with an alternative such as had been suggested ; and with this view he begged to propose—" That should the West Kirk Session disregard the pre sent expression of public opinion, this meeting autho rise the Committee to take measures to form a joint stock company in small shares, for procuring burying ground, and thus afford the means of interment to all at a moderate rate, and at any time they think proper." A resolution of this kind was the more ne cessary, as even though the Kirk-Session were to yield to the present request and rescind their regulation , who could tell but they would re-enact it immediately ;here after ?—(Hear, hear.) They were quite an irrespon sible body, and the only way to get rid of their withering, pestiferous influence was to break up the connexion at once.—(Great applause.) The Kirk Session did not seem to have any idea of the manner in which their re gulation affected working men. They had no notion of the difficulty which an operative had in attending a funeral on a week day. He had first to leave his work and go home to dress—then go to the funeral—then return and undress—then go back to his work ; all of which could not occupy less than between three or four hours ; and on Saturday, from obvious causes, many tradesmen could not go at all, whereas the gentleman of the West Kirk Session could get away at any time without being any the poorer for it.—(Hear, bear.) Mr. Adie hoped the meeting would adopt his resolution. Baillie THOMPSON thought the resolution rather pre mature.—(Cries, of " No, no.") Mr. DA Vins oN, stationer, Nicholson-street, begged to second Mr. Adie's resolution. Zhe CHAIRMAN thought the motion quite i❑ order, and that the supporters of it had shown good reason for its adoption. There was a strong disposition in certain quarters to trample on the rights of the poor, and to ar rogate an authority which never belonged to any set of men. He had ransacked the whole repositories both of law and history, and he could not find one instance of any such prohibition as this in question, in either of them. —(Hear.) He considered this a solemn and a pious duty. To deprive the working-classes of this day for a purpose at once so solemn and so indispensable, was, in his opinion, an act of extraordinary tyranny and oppres sion.—(Cheers.) The resolution of Mr. Adie was then carried without a division, as were all the others which preceded it. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and to Dr. Peddie for the use of the church ; after which, the meeting, which was one of the most crowded and enthu siastic we have seen for a long time, quietly dispersed. INVENTIONS FOR PROPELLING STEAM VESSELS. On Wednesday last, the Lord Mayor, accompanied by Mr. Benjamin Smith, M.P., Mr. Travers, Mr. Blaxland, Mr. Hoard, the Chairman of the Navigation Committee, and other gentlemen, and attended by Cap tain Fisher, the Senior Harbour-master, made an ex cursion on the river to witness the effect of Mr, Taylor's invention for propelling steam vessels. 'lle little steamer Jane, in which his Lordship embarked, is the, property of Mr. George Blaxland, late engineer to the Commercial Steam Packet Company, and has been an object of admiration on account of her diroinr.iive size, being only a common whaling boat, to whiclL Mr. Blax land some months back applied paddle wheels, and in which he fixed a steam engine of miller less than one horse power. These paddle-wheels, with their cum brous and unsightly appendages, the paddle-boxes, have been removed, so that the little boat is restored to her original form, excepting the addition of a figure-head and a counter-stern. The propeller, which has in creased the speed one-third, the power remaining the same, has been introduced ; but the steam-engine has not been moved from its original position —a. fact that proved to the experimentors the entire applicability of the method to every steam vessel. His Lordship took water precisely at two o'clock from Southwark-bridge pier, ar.d proceeded some way up the river against the tide, ; after which he returned, and proceeded as far • Blackwall, calling in his way at Greenwich Hospit-,.1. H e then returned against the tide, which was I . i:honing strong all the time ; and, on landing at llye';'s Hall Whart at half-past five o'clock, expressed the strongest approbation of the genius of the Invention. Throughout the whole of the trip the Jane performer; admirably ; she was under the most perfect control, and appeared to be steered much mo re easily than when encumbered with the paddle-wheels : she moved as if by magic, creating no swell in the water, and was not affected by the hubbub occasion ed by the rapid transit of the large steamers. - The negotiations entered into between Cerito and the Grand Opera of Paris have failed. It is the manager of the Sc'ila Theatre who has secured the services of Taglioni's young rival, by tendering her terms much su perior to those which the Academie Royale was disposed to give her. Cerito has entered into an engagement at Milan, extending from the 28th ult. to the 30th' March, 1842, but stipulating that she will be at liberty to appear at her Majesty's Theatre next spring. M. Chauveron (M. Laffarge's friend) denied all knowledge of the will made by the deceased in favour of the prisoner. The Advocate-General, after speaking in high terms of the virtues of the deceased, read the following will made by him : This 28th October, 1839, I, the undersigned Charles Joseph Dorothe Pouch Laffarge, make this my holograph will as follows :—I give and bequeath to Marie Fortunee Capelle, my dear wife, all that the law allows me to dispose of, that is to say, the whole of the pro perty I possess in estates, effects, and credits, and suc cessions, which have fallen, or which may fall to me. I do not give any legacy to my mother or sister, but nevertheless, if the state of the affairs of my wife leaves it in her power to dispose a part in their favour after her death, without too great in jury to those for whom she may wish to provide, it would be in accordance with my good feelings towards my mother and sister. At the same time, this clause is not to be considered as obligatory upon my heiress, as I rely entirely upon the good feeling I know her to possess. I moreover entreat my good Marie not to forget a mother whom I love so much ; and above all, not to leave her, but to console her in all her griefs and pains, to divert her, and to suffer her to want for nothing ; also to assist my sister with her good councils, and with pecuniary means if the fortune of my dear Marie will permit—giving such alms to the poor as she may think fit ; and, in fine, to order herself to be buried where I shall be, or else to have my remains transported to wherever she may be, and deposited in the same tomb, we !having promised each other never to be se parated here below, in order that we may one day both meet in Heaven. My testament thus made, which contains my express will, has been signed, dated, and written, entirely with my own hand.—At Glandicr, this 28th Oct., 1839. " CHAS. POUCH LAFFARGE." After some observations by the Advocate-General and M. Paillet on this will, and those made afterwards in favour of the mother and sister, whereby it was en tirely annulled, A discussion arose between the Advocate-General and M. Paillet, on the subject of these contradictory wills, from which it would seem that M. Laffarge was not to know the contents of the will of his wife, but that the seal under which it was placed was indiscreetly broken by his mother. The servants engaged in burying the arsenic were called, and deposed that what they did was of their own accord, but that when it was taken up it was found to be carbonate of soda. M. Beaufort, the father of the first wife of M. Laf farge, deposed, that after his marriage Laffarge was ill. By the President—Of what nature did you suppose his illness to be ?—I perceived saliva at the corner of his mouth, but in the position in which I stand, being at law with his family, I dare not say what I think.— (Sensation.) I did not see him in his fits, and what I know is from my nephew of Moulins, and my poor daughter. _ _ By the President—Do you know whether M. Laf farge rendered his wife happy ?—I know that she was unhappy. _ Marie Mathieu, cook, said—l had been a month at Glandier before the death of M. Laffarge. I saw the cake for the rats prepared by Alfred. Some time after wards, the mother of M. Laffarge told me that she in tended to make some cakes for her son, who would va lue them the more coming from her hands. I ate some as they came from the oven, as (lid also several other persons, and amongst them the daughter of Mme. Buf fiere ; there were about twenty-four ; some were of a long shape, others round. The mother of Mme. Laf- I large, who had made them herself, did not say who had I suggested to her the idea of making them. They were made at four o'clock, and were sent away from Glandier at six. Oa the 14th of January M. Laffarge arrived. Some days afterwards, some more arsenic was asked for, as I was told, by M. Laffarge, to put at the foot of his bed, as the rats kept him from sleeping. I think it was Alfred also who prepared this mixture. It has been said that I made a large cake, when the cakes alluded to were made, and the mother of M. Laffarge caused me to be sent to Brives to state this fact, wbich, how ever, is utterly untrue. By the Advocate-General—You say you ate one of the cakes ?—Yes, I ate one ; Madame Buffiere also ate of them ; the maid-servant ate two, and no person suffered any inconvenience. Did you see the preparation for the rats mixed ? The first time I did ; but I was told that Alfred had prepared some a second time. When M. Laffarge returned from Paris was he ill ? —I was told that he was. M. Paillet—As we are on the question of the cakes, I desire to know whether those which were made at Glandier were not exactly like thin brioches, and whe ther those which were afterwards made on the plan of Marie Capelle were of the same substance ?—The two kinds of cakes which Madame Laffarge asked for after her arrival were about as large as a large china dish ; there were eggs put in them, and orange flower water. They were first made in a saucepan, and spread out upon an iron plate. Was not a soft substance like cream mixed with them ?—The cream was in the centre to the thickness of two fingers. Who showed you how to make the cakes ?—Ma dame Laffarge told me how to proceed, but she did not put her hand to them. I followed her directions and succeeded. _ _ _ ___ Who told you that M. Laffarge had asked for ar senic ? Alfred : He told me that the rats prevented M. Laffarge from sleeping. M. Paillet here reminded the Jury that it was in the bedroom of M. Laffarge, and in his presence, that the arsenic was asked for on the sth. Marie Valade, a peasant, 35 years of ago, said that she was present when the cakes were made, and had eaten of them. Some were round and others long. The round cakes were of the size of the palm of the hand. The prisoner was not in the kitchen when they were made, and the witness did not know who had taken them to her room. The witness then said that she had taken a decanter of water to M. Laffarge two days before the arrival of his mother. He tasted it, and said that it was excellent, not being seasoned like the last, which, added witness, had sugar in it. M. Laffarge would not drink water which had sugar in it. A woman lied told the witness that M. Lespinatz had said he had been informed by M. Laffarge that he was poisoned three days before he quitted Paris. The witness saw the mixture for poisoning rats prepared by Alfred, whilst M. Laffargr, was in Paris, and once after his return. ------- Jean Barron, aged nineteen, a servant, said—Alfrel told me that on the 14th he had found a paper fuli of arsenic in an old hat belonging to M. Laffarge, and that it would be proper to bury it. I said it would be better to throw it in the water. " No," said he, "we will bury it i.: - , the garden." As neither of us could read, we (could not sec what was written on it. He gave no rea son for burying it than that it was dangerous leaving it about. On the following day, the Juge de Paix, came to Glandier, and we went and took it up. On the same day the Juge de Paix took it into the room of Madame Laffarge, and s ealed it up. went twice to Uzerches, for arsenic, by the order of Madame Laffarge, whilst her husband was in Paris. This was before Christmas. I brought but little, and gave it to her femme de chambre. I heard afterwards that it had been mixed for the rats. Denis, the clerk, told me that he should like to see Mme. Laffarge sawed into four parts. I was with my brother-in-law when he said this. Before this I had observed to him that what had happened to Madame was very unfortunate. He said he should like to se? her torn to pieces by four horses. He regretted M. Laffarge very much. Madame had received him seve ral times at dinner. Denis told me that Madame Laffarge had fed her husband upon poison for a fort night. I replied that this was impossible, as he had on ly been home thirteen days. He then said she had sent poisoned cakes to him in Paris, to which I replied that could not be , as I had eaten some, and had - not found them disagree with me. After some circumstantial conflictory evidence, Sara t, a waiter at the hotel in Paris where M. Laffarge a evening lodged, was called. He deposed that in the e •g of December the 18 th, the deceased received a case ve which he, the witness, opened, and took out a portrait, some letters, some women's socks, and a cake, which latter the deceased said was sent him by his wife he broke off a bit of the crust it.andate,a M. Laffarge did not r e t urn h ome t i ll one o ' c n l Td oc ho k af , tY' w n'i li gi iC al l t, had never occurred before. On entering the deceased's room the next day the witness found that lie had vomited, and observed that it had probably arisen from indigestion, but M and would be of no consequence. M. Laffarge made no answer. At three o'clock, when about to write letters, he was again seized with vomit ing, but by half-past four had written several, which the witness took to the post office. The case was about eleven inches long, at least ten inches deep, and the NEW SUGAR COMPANY. The Report of the Lords' Committee on East India Trade, taken in conjunction with the exorbitant prices of sugar ruling for some time past, and greatly oppres • sive on the poorer classes of consumers, has necessarily attracted a good deal of attention, and is already direct ing the views of capitalists to the vast capabilities of British India for aiding to a large extent in the correc tion of an admitted evil ; which so far must relieve the consumer here, whilst the application of superabundant or comparatively unproductive capital to the cultivation of sugar and other produce will not tend only to im prove the resources by the profitable and increased em ployment of labour in India, reciprocated by a coul ter and advantageously improving import and consump tion of British manufactures, nationally objects of vast importance, but is calculated to yield a direct bene ficial return upon the investment of a solid and per manent nature in the sense of individual enterprise. Indeed this has already been well understood by a few keen-sighted but meritorious persons, who have been some time embarked in a well-conduc ted speculation under the name of Dhobah Sugar Company, far raising sugar in India, by which they are understood to be realising very coesiderable profits in the import of their sugars, the quality of which is usually rated as among the more preferable sorts in the market. This successful example was not likely long to remain without imitation, and accordingly it is not surprising that a similar undertaking, but upon a much larger scale, should be commenced for entry on the same extensive ticid of operations, designated as the British India or Anti-Slavery Sugar Company, with a capital commensurate with the objects in view. The difference in the rates of labour between the West Indies, where the day-work of the negro now costs from three to even four shillings, and in the East Indies where it may be procured at 2d. or 3d., constitutes alone a rich harvest of profit to those concerned. But independently of this the yearly augmenting con sumption of an article which, like sugar, has become a necessary of life, is etidently beyond the capacity of the West India islands to supply of themselves with any imaginable increase of labour hands and decrease of labour rates which it is possible to contemplate. It is besides quite evident from the excessive prices to which sugar has attained, with the paucity of the supply afforded by the West Indies, and not likely to be in• creased in any ratio corresponding with increased con sumption by an evet-increasing population, that before long the more free introduction of foreign or slave grown sugars, will:become absolutely indispensable, and must be facilitated by a remission of the duties to some extent, unless the deficiency of supply can be mare good by the encouragement of tree labour cultivation and the correspondent increase of produce in Eastern India. Some 40,000 or;50,000 tons of sugars are understood to be expected from Calcutta this year, which are a larger amount than before known, although insignifi cant in comparison with what ought to be, might readily be, and may be expected to be produced pro gressively -or import here, by the proper direction of meant to the end ; whilst the largest returns of profits must, as is natural and just only, be shared and mono polised by those capitalists most prompt in action. In the case of this British India Sugar Company, as success must be materially influenced in degree by the qualifica tions and experience of those in the management, with the stake they themselves invest in the enterprise, it may be taken for granted that the confidence of those interested is and will be justified in a direction understood to comprise men of wealth and high respectability, who have passed a great portion of their lives in India, and therefore arc fully competent to comprehend the nature of the undertaking, to appreciate its value. and to bring it beneficially to bear. They have the example before them of the large profits reaped by others under circum stances much less encouraging, and with less ample ap pliances for the object, so that with superior advan tages in their favour, of means, experience, and local knowledge, it may be expected that the Company under their management can hardly fail to prosper more de cidedly still.—Morning Herald City Article, WITCHCRAFT IN THE NINETEENTH CEN TURY. —The following lamentable instance of superstition occurred in Lich -street, in Worcester, on Saturday last. The infant daughter of Thomas Pitt, a labourer in the above street, had for some time been sufforing from severe inflammation of the face and guns, ClOnse. quent on the process 'af " teething ;" and the usual do mestic remedies having proved unavailing, the mother of the child was induced, by the pressing solicitations of the neighbouring gossips, to seek the abode of a certaia " wise woman," arias " The Witch cf Sidbury," for the purpose of having her infant " charmed," a process which, it was averred, would speedily eradicate the disorder. Manifold were the testimonies borne in favour of the " charm," and numerous instances adduced where the restoration of strayed cattle, the cure of broken heads, and the detection of stolen property, had been achieved by means of its po tent influence. Accordingly, having previously fortified herself against the machinations of "the gentleman in black," by attaching a sprig of rosemary and a leaf of the Bible in the hem of her garment, the credulous parent bent her steps towards the dwelling of the reputed " witch," to whom - she mede known the purport of her visit. The "weird sister," after indulging in several mys terious shakes of the head, crossings of the palm, and other gestures of equally cabalistic import, took the infant in her arms, and commenced the ceremony of " charming." This consisted in sprinkling the head of the child:with common salt, and affixing round its neck a strip of virgin parchment, accompanying the operation by a spe cies of low monotonous chaunt, occasionally varies by a rapid enunciation of incoherent gibberish, which savoured strongly of the ravings of insanity. At the conclusion of this absurd farce, which lasted about ten minutes, the " wise woman" resigned the ipabe to the care of its mater nal protector, gravely assuring her not only of its speedy recovery, owing to the sovereign virtue of t he " charm, but of its future exemption from " the thousand ills that g flesh is heir to." And—such is the power of superstition —the mother of the infant not only entertains a devout be lief in the efficacy of the above-named rite, but loudly vaunts the benefit already derived from it in the present case, her child having, as she affirms, recovered most chartn.ingly since her visit to " T'uo Witch of Sidbury."-- Worcestershire Chronicle. MELANCHOLY REVERSE OF FORTUNE.- Yesterday an inquest was held before Mr. Carter, the Coroner for Surrey, on the body of John Atkinson, at the White Hart Inn, Godstone. The investigation was a ;Try lengthened one, but the following may be stated as the sub stance of the evidence :—The deceased was aged sixty seven, and, about twelve years ago, had a large farm in the vicinity of Godstone.
