FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. RUSSIA. e nave received intelligence which conveys to us the irregularities of Russia in carrying out her Part of the Treaty of Paris, which have hitherto nattracted in France little of the public attention or ewspaper no ti ce, b ut we hear that the govern t begi ns to occupy itself concerning them.

From the former quarter no her intelligence has reached us, and Kars is s uch an out.of-the-way place that, now that the War has been over long enough for newspaper correspondents, and roving British officers to have left its vicinity, w e obtain but scraps of i nformation on which no great reliance can „ c o placed. Th e arrivals of large additions to the Russian forces already there has been spoken of a nd seems generally credited ; and it has been said within the last few days, that the Russians were r econstructing portions of the fortifications which t hey hn' ~ s troyed.

It is certainly to be regretted that T 'c'e of Serpents should have been, to all T:Pearances entirely overlooked at the Conferences it u e importance of its situation might have obtained word of mention.

THE PATRIOTIC FuND.—The Legislative Council of Victoria have voted a further sum of 420,000 to the Patriotic Fund, a further evidence of the loyalty and munificence of the colonists. THE EAST INDIA. COMPANY.—NearIy a dozen Rajahs, or petty princes of India have visited England during the last few years, most of whom have come over in conse quence of some dispute with the East India Company. A - has been paid to M. Cavour ; some ~ sent him the bust of himself in marble, and decreed him a medal.

The Princess Darinka has sent to Paris, as a present to the Imperial Prince, a complete suit of the Montenegrin costume, the produce of her own h an dy wor k, an d accom panied by the arms and accoutrements worn in that country. The jacket is most elaborately and tastefully embroidered with gold lace. The costume of these mountaineers is something similar to the picturesque dress worn by the Greeks and Albanians. On Thursday last a very serious accident occurred to Mr. Thomas E. Biddlecombe, Master's Assistant of the Impregnable, on a visit to Dorsetshire ; he was riding near Corfe Castle, - and fell from his horse, receiving a serious blow on the head, causing concussion of the brain, and is now lying in a most precarious state. lie had only just been paid off from the Agmemnon ' in which vessel and the Sanspareil h e serve d during the whole of the Crimean war, including the boat expedition to the Sea of Az,,ff. THE NATiONAL DEBT. —lt appears, from a return issued on Thursday morning, that on the 31st of March last the Unredeemed Debt amounted to £775,312,691, and the interest payable thereon to £22,267,361 per annum. The debt consisted of £3,007,771 Two-and-a-Half Per Cents; £769,000,280 Three per Cents; £2,871,515 Three-and-a-Half per Cents; and £433,124 Five per Cents. The total reduction of interest effected in the year ending the same date was £37,236 ; and the total increase of interest, £747,243. The total debt created in the same period was £24,908,134 ; and the total debt redeemed, £1;241,257. ORIE TAL TRANSIT. —The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Simla ha s . just performed the voyage bet Ween Malta and Spithead, a distance of 2,130 miles, in seven days. This is at the rate of nearly 13 miles an hour for 168 successive hours. The Simla was one of the steamers which the above named company intended to place on the Australian line, had they obtained the mail contract. The PlatS steamer, which left Southampton on the 2ud of July, with the West India mails, reached St. Thomas, a distance of 3,622 miles, in eleven days and twenty-three hours. This is at the rate of nearly thirteen miles an hour, for 290 successive hours. .eitting con- A letter from-Berlin in the Deutsche Reich., tradicts in the most positive manner the liberation of Bakunin, and add that he is considered in Russia as a far subject to be restored to liberty, not only on account of the leading part he took in the revolutionary too da movements in France, Poland, and Germany, Lut for his panslavistic speeches and philosophical writings. The writer further meintains that a mitigation of Bakuniu's imprisonment was therefore all that could be expected from the clemency of the Czar, and suspects that his uncle, General Mouravieff, well aware of this, did not therefore press his restoration to liberty. The Turkish gov,erninent has decided on constructing two lines of electric telegraph from Adrianople to Salon-ice, and to Alexanitza. The latter is. to be after wards extened to Belgrade by th e S erv i an government . A credit of fi#e millions of piastres has been appropriated for these works, which are to be commenced immediately. The Rajah of Rungpore left Solomon's hotel, Southamp ton, yesterday, for London. The rajah had two servants— one was the interpreter, and was the same person who came over with the son , of Runjeet Sing. He speaks English pretty well. The rajah was ill during the whole voyage. He is very rich, a great dandy, and is considered quite a George IV. amongst the native princes. A great part of his magnificent wardrobe and treasures got mixed with the baggage of the Queen of Oude, and was consequently left behind in Egypt. He would only eat poultry which had been killed by hi mse lf or servant, an d fi sh with HER MAJESTY'S MILITARY COSTUME.—Her Majesty, at several of the late reviews, has, with her usual gracious consideration, exhibited the most anxious desire to pay compliments to the pride of her brave soldiers by appearing in a most splendid military uniform, the particulars of which will doubtless please our lady readers. The habit is of the finest scarlet cloth, the ornaments on the collar of which are beautifully embroidered in gold and silver, with the device of a Field Marshal. A brilliant star upon the left breast ; across the left shoulder the blue ribbon of the Garter, and a very gorgeous crimson and gold net sash, terminated with gold bullion tassels. The hat is of a remarkably light black felt, with a round crown and of most graceful design, having a very elegant general officer's plume of white and red feathers, and a rich cord of crimson and gold thrice round the crown, ending with two handsome gold and crimson bullion tassels. Nothing can exceed the beauty of this costume and is accesso ries: A letter addressed to the General Correspondence (Paris) says :—" Prince L. Lucien Bonaparte has come to spend some time in the French and Spanish Basque provinces, for the purpose of collecting on the spot the documents and sources of information which he requires for enabling him to complete two important works he intends publish ing—true monuments raised in honour of the Basque people, whose history and language the Prince has long made the subject of his studies. Prince Lucien, on his return to Paris, Is about to commence the publication of the Gospel of St. Mathew in all the Basque dialects ; then that of a splendid map of those districts where the Basque language is still spoken. Every day the Prince assembles round his festive board at Saint Jean de Luz, representatives of the numerous Basque dialects existing in Spain and France. It has happened more than once that the guests, all of them speaking Basque, did not understand one another ; but the Prince, from his profound know ledge of each idiom, was invariably able to interpret th e word or thought of Oa speaker to the embarrassed listener. CENTRAL AbiSRICAN BONDS.—A meeting of the Central American bondholders was held on Thursday afternoon at the London Tavern, for the purpose of confirming au agree.. mint which had been made between their commissioner and the government of Guatemala for a conversion of ' the partion of the Central American debt which appertains to that debt, Mr. J. D. Bowles, chair man of the Central American Committee, in thec hair. The agreement was read ; it provided for a conversion of the existing debt for £lOO,OOO of new bonds, carrying interest at the rate of five per cent. per annum, payable in London half yearly, namely, the Ist February and Ist of August. The bonds are to be secured on a portion of the maritime revenues and custom dues of Guatemala. The Chairman announce l that the agent of the con tracting state bad arrived in London, for affecting the conversion, and the first dividend would be payable on the 15th of October, and the second on the Ist of February next. The agreement was confirmed, and some other formal re<olutions having been passed, the proceedings terminated with votes of thanks to the chairman and THE Ex-ROYAL FAMILY or , 017 DE.—The Queen Dowager of Oude is forty-five years of age. Her son, the dethroned king is aged about twenty-eight years, and her grandson, who is with her, and who is heir apparent, is about sixteen years old. This youth is married and has one child. The brother of the dethroned king, who is also with the Queen Mother, is a general in the native Oude army, and he, it appears, claims the throne in opposition to the heir apparent; so that not only is the Oude family coming to England to dispute with the East India Company for the possession of the throne of which the ex-king has been deprived, but also to settle a dispute among themselves as to who is the rightful heir. The Queen Mother, with her family and suite, paid nearly £B,OOO to the Peninusular and Oriental Company for their pasiaga from India to England.

CHESTER ASSIZES Mr. JUSTICE CROMPTON sat in the Crown Court yesterday. EMBFZELEMENT BY A CORPORATION SURVEYOR.—Ben jamin Baylis , late surveyor under the corporation of Chester, and more recently in the town of Rotherham, was placed in the dock charged with having embezzled the value of a quantity of lead belonging to the corporation of Chester. The prisoner had been arraigned the previous day on a charge of stealing the lead in question, but was acquitted upon that indictment. The value of the lead was £4B. Mr. Wellsby, Recorder of Chester, assisted by Mr. Wlntyre, appeared for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Jefferson Lloyd defended the prisoner. The lead in question was part of the roofing of an old building which was being taken downfor the purpose of erecting an Athenaeum. The contracter for the new building, Mr. Thomas Roberts, proved that he purchased the lead, and agreed to allow the prisoner, who sold it to him, for it as part of the work done. Mr. Edward Roberts, the city treasurer, deposed that the prisoner had no authority to sell any lead or receive any money on behalf of the corporation, and that no one except witness himself had any authority to receive money for any such purpose. From the evidence of Mr. James Paul and of the deputy town clerk, Mr. John Walker, it appeared that the prisoner had several times stated that he considered the work on which he was engaged in the Athenaeum as extra work, for which he 'expected to be paid additionally. In July; 1855, the transactions connected with the sale of the lead, took place, and shortly afl:er that time the prisoner left Chester and came to Liverpool. From thence ho went to London, where he obtained a situation as surveyor in Rotherham. It was in the latter town that he was arrested. Previous to his leaving Chester he was several times urged by the deputy town clerk to hand in to the improvement committee a full statement of the particulars of the work done by him in connection with the Athemeam. He frequently promised that he would do so, but up to the time of his leaving Chester the corporation had received no account whatever from him. It appeared that the salary of the prisoner under the Chester Corporation, had been £l6O per annum. Mr. Lloyd addressed the jury, on behalf of the prisoner, in a very able and ingenious speech, in which he contended that the prisoner had no idea whatever of committing any act of embezzlement in retaining money which, under the circumstances, he conceived himself entitled to retain for his extra services, and that none of the elements legally required to • constitute embezzlement were present in that case. His Lordship summed up at consi. derable length. The jury retired, and, after a quarter of an hour's deliberation, returned with a verdict of guilty. His Lordship proceeded to pass sentence, which he did in so low a tone of voice as to be frequently altogether inaudible in most parts of the court. Ho said he could entertain no doubt whatever that the jury had come to a right conclusion in . believing that he intended to appropriate the money of the corporation to his own use, and that for this purpose he took advantage of the position which he held as their servant... The case was a very deplorable one, considering the character and position which the prisoner appeared to have held for a long time. At the same time, when persons in that position committed such crimes, they should be dealt with more severely than others who were led by want, by defective education, by their own misery, and the poverty of their families, to commit of f ences which were tried in criminal courts. As, however, this appeared to be an isolated transaction, and taking all the circumstances of the case into consideration, he should not sentence the prisoner to a term of penal servitude. He should inflict a sentence which would be a warning to others, because it was of the very highest importance that servants who were necessarily entrusted by public bodies with so much` responsibility, should be faithful in returning the money they received. The sentence of tbo court was, that the prisoner be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve calender months. AN EASY TRIAL.—While the jury were considering their verdict in the previous case, his lordship ca ll e d attent i ou to the case of a person named Ward, who was arraigned at the assizes in December for burglary. He was then found to be insane, and removed to a lunatic asylniri. Now, however, an intimation had come from the Secretary of State that the prisoner was again trausfered to the custody of the governor of Chester gaol for trial. His lordship's duty was to deliver the gaol, but it appeared that in this case, as 'the order from the Secretary of State was not expected, the prosecution witnesses were not in attendance. The question was whether he should be tried now, there being no witnesses, or allowed to stand out upon his own recognizance to come up next assizes. Mr. R. Lloyd said he prosecuted at the last assizes, but was not prepared with the prosecution and witnesses' now. At his lordship's direction the prisoner was put forward. His lord ship : Do you wish to be tried now ? Prisoner : I don't know—your lordship knows ,best. (Laughter.) His Lord ship : I should think you had better be tried now. There are no witnesses against you. Prisoner : Oh, yes, I think I had better be tried now. (Laughter.) A jury was then sworn and the prisoner formally arraigned on a charge of having committed a burglary in December, 1855. No evidence was given. His Lord ship said, the prisoner had been sent there to be tried by the Secretary of State. All the witnesses for the prosecution were away. That was not the prisoner's fault, and he had a right to be put upon his trial, if he insisted upon it. (Laughter.) He had been in custody for a long time in another place, and there was some reason to believe, that the offence with which he was charged, was committed while he was in an unsound state of mind. As there was no evidence against him, the jury would find him not guilty. The jury returned a verdict' accordingly. His Lordship (to the prisoner) : Take care you do not get into such scrapes any more. You have been takers care of, and have been made well. Do not get into any scrapes or crimes any more. The prisoner was discharged, and the business of the assizes then closed (PROM OUR OWN REPORTER REWARDS TO BRITISH SEAMEN BY THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT. The Earl of Clarendon has received despatches through Mr. Dallas, enclosing testimonials, forwarded by the President of the United States, for presentation to British seamen, " In grateful acknowledgment of services rendered to American seamen, under circumstances communicated to his govern ment by the Consul of the United States at Liverpool." A gold chronometer and chain to Captain R. Wilson, and a medal each to George William Blanchard, George Fiunis, George Lee, and William. Lee, being respectively master and seamen of the British barque Sarah, of Belfast ; also a gold chronometer and chain to Captain Joseph Clark, of the British hark Batticola, of Liverpool. It appears that the American brig Crusader, Captain Joseph B. Wooster, with a crew consisting of master, two mates, a cook, and four seamen, sailed from Jacksonville, a port in Florida, on the 23rd of December, 1855, laden with lumber and rosin for Bordeaux, in France, that on the 6th of January she sprung a leak, and on the morning of the 10th of January, while in a sinking state, and during a gale, she was fallen in with by the British barque Sarah. The Crusader's crew did not suppose it possible for any boat to live in the sea, then running fearfully high, and induced the Sarah to lie by them In the afternoon, four of the Sarah's men volunteered for the undertaking, went in the boat to the Crusader, and after pulling several times under her lee, finally afforded her captain and one of her crew an oppoatunity to leap into the boat. Becoming scared they returned to the vessel, but encouraged by their captain, they renewed the effort, andfinally succeeded in rescuing all. The brave seamen who manned the boat are the four above-named, to whom the medals are assigned. The other instance was the wreck of the American schooner Mayflower, commanded by: Captain Dupray. She sailed from Georgetown, South carolina, laden Stith timber for Boston, on the 30th of last December. She was capsized on the 6th of January, and her whole crew perished except the captain and two others. These three were taken from the wreck by the direction of the officer of the Baticola, and safely con veyed to Liverpool. Mr. Dallas, in his communication to the Earl of Clarendon, adds that he most respectfully trusts the noble earl will be good enough to cause those testimonials to be presented to the persons for whom they are intended, accom panied by the thanks of the President of the United States, by whom their humane and hazardous rescue of American mariners from imminent peril is justly appreciated. London was never known for years so empty in August as at the present time ; it has been a gay and hurried season, but short. The Lord Chancellor, on the recommendation of the Earl of Clarendon, has appointed Herbert Ingram, Esq., MY., to be one of the magistrates for the county of Hertford. The Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh, have unani mously elected Dr, Andrew Smith, Director General of the Army and Ordnance Medical Department, an licinorary Fellow of the college. Marshal Pelissier, learning that the stay of the Emperor at Plombieres was to be prolonged to the Bth of August, asked and obtained the favour of leave to pay his respects to his Majesty before the departure for Paris. The Marshal was to arrive at Plombieres on Wednesday. The Russian clergy have just celebrated a grand mass at Balaklava, at which every one walked barefoot in sign of mortification, after which holy water was sprinkled in every direction. The camp of 6,000 men, which has been formed on the heights of Inkermann, will be the only military force in that part of the Crimea. STRIKE OP MASONS.—The whole of the operative stone masons employed in the various public and private buildings in Newcastle-on-Tyn e , left their work on Saturday, and have not since returned. The dispute has originated (says The Times) in the determination of the men to enjoy a weekly half holiday at the expense of their employers. MELANCHOLY CATASTROPHE.— A painful incident took place on Tuesday morning, off Millwall, to an excursion of some 500 or 600 children belonging to the City schools. The Old I'ather Thames steamer bad been engaged to take them to the Erith Gardens, and when proceeding down the river off Millwall, the man at the wheel noticed a fine little boy to slip through the gangway and fall overboard, and before asiistance could be rendered, the poor little fellow sunk and was drowned. His straw hat was picked up and owned by the mother, who was on board. The unfortunate little fellow was the son of a lighterman, named Hasler, living in Upper Thames-street, and was about five years of l age. The body has not been recovered. I THE MURDER OF .THE TWO SISTERS NEAR FOLKESTONE The inquest on the bodies of the two illfated young females, who were murdered on Sunday morning last, commenced, on Thursday, before Mr. T. Delassaux, one of the coroners for the county of Kent, and a highly respectable jury. We may premise that the spot where the deed was clmmitted is singularly adapted for such a purpose. It is a small glen immediately facing the sea, and surrounded on each side by cliffs, so that it is entirely secluded from public observation. A small footpath leading round the cliffs passes through the glen, and here the crime was perpetrated. The murderer is still living, and progressing favourably. The first witness called was a carpenter, named Thomas Girling, who, upon being sworn, said : I regard my oath more as a civil than a religious act. On being questioned by the coroner, Girling said that he was of no religion, that he did not believe in the existence of a Supreme Being, but that he was determined to speak the truth. The Coroner : After thirty-six years experience as a coroner it is the first time in my life that I have had a witness before me having no belief in Supreme Being, or in a punishment hereafter. I am, however, bound to receive his evidence, and you, gentlemen of jury, pay just as much respect to it as you think it is entitled to at your hands. The witness then deposed as follows : On Sunday morning last I left Folkstone, shortly bet-ire six o'clock, and proceeded towards Dover. Having passed the spot • where the bodies• were subsequently discovered, I went towards the edge of the cliff, where I sat down and perused a newspaper. I remained there about half an hour, and then got up in order to proceed to Folkstone. I endeavoured to find a pathway leading to the beach, and on my way I discovered the bodies of the deceased females lying in a glen, called Steddy-hole. The clothes of one of them were much disordered. The bodies were about fifteen yards from each other. They were subsequently removed to a cottage close by the place. —Mary Back, the mother of the deceased, deposed : The deceased females were my daughters. Caroline was aged eighteen year•, and Maria sixteen. lam well acquainted with private Dedea Redanies. He is a servant to Lieu tenant Salter, of the same regiment, now stationed at Shorncliffe. He came to my house about half-past eight o'clock on Saturday night last, for the purpose of seeing Caroline, to whom ha was paying his addresses. About t-n o'clock the same evening he requested that she might accompany him to Shorncliffe the next morning, as he had a sister who wished particularly to see her. He added that he had plenty of money, as his sister had given him £lOO. After some further conversation, it was arranged that both the deceased girls should go with him, and he was to call at three o'clock in the morning for them. He came at the time agreed upon, and after having breakfasted, they all left the house together. A miniature likeness of Redanies had been presented by him to the eldest girl, and which he asked for on Saturday night. She gave it to him, and he immediately broke it, and threw it into the fire, saying that he would obtain a larger one for her. My daughters became acquainted with Redanies in consequence of my washing for the military hospital and the castle at Dover, While my daughters were taking their breakfast I was in bed, and heard them talking, together. Redanies also conversed with me, and bade me good morning before leaving on Sun day morning. They were in good humour with each other. John Back, the father of the deceased, deposed to the same effect as the preceding witness. William Bateman, surgeon, of Folkstone. deposed to having examined the deeeased females, and described the nature of their wounds. The younger girl's dress was but little disordered. She had on her gloves and bonnet, and the front of her dress buttoned tight up to her neck, and was saturated in blood. There' were four incised wounds in the chest, each about half an inch in length, and penetratieg deeply . into the chest. There were two wounds on each side of the chest, between the second and fourth ribs. From the direction the wounds took he was of opinion that the arch of the aorta was wounded, and that death must have been almost instantaneous. The persons of the deceased had not been violated. The clothes of Caroline were not much dis ordered. There were three wounds on her chest, one on the right side, which had severed the cartilage of the third rib and passed into the cheat. Another wound had passed through the breast bone. On the left band there was a wound, which bad struck her knuckle and then glanced off. The knife =produced was precisely the description of instrument calculated to produce the wounds inflicted on the' bodies of the deceased. The bodies were warm when witness first saw them, and their chests full of blood George Fryer, constable, of Thanington (near Canterbury), deposed: From information which I received, I proceeded on the Ashford road towards Chatham, and when passing over the viaduct near Milton Chapel, I saw a soldier draw his right hand from big breast, and throw down the knife produced. I ran np to him and caught bold of him, and another labourer had then got hold of him. We placed him in a cart, having previously obtained the aqsistanpe of Mr. Bond, a surgeon, and took him to the Kent arid Can-• terbury Hospital. He had two capes round him. There was a purse in his pocket containing 3s 4d in silver and 32d in copper. There were three wounds on his left breast. Superintendent Clements produced the two capes which he took from the body of the soldier Redanies. There were marks of blood on one of them. Elizabeth Attwood, wife of a shopkeeper at Lower Hardres, deposed to a soldier belonging to the Foreign Legion coming to her house on the previous Monday, and asking for some writing paper and envelopes. He then sat down and wrote two letters, which he subsequently placed in envelopes. The letters produced were those which he so wrote. Witness had since seen Dedea Redanies in the Kent and Canterbury Hospital, and believed him to be the man who wrote the letters. He enclosed a duplicate in one of the letters. (It was for a watch pledged at Folkstone). T4e two letters were here read to the jury. They were written in German, and were as follows : TO THE MOTHER OP THE DECEASED, " Dearest Mother,—On the first lines I pray to forgive the awful accident to the unlucky Dedea Redanies, which I committed on my very dear Caroline and Maria Back yesterday morning at five o'clock. Scarcely lam able to write my heart break for my ever memorable Caroline and Maria. The cause of my deed is -1, As I heard that Caro line is not in the family way, as I first believed ; 2, because Caroline intends to go to Woolwich ; 3, as I cannot stay with my very dear Caroline it made my heart so scattered that I put into my mind at last that Caroline rather may die from my hands than to allow Caroline's love being bestowed upon others. However I did not intend to mur der also Maria, her sister, bat, not having other oppor tunity, and as she was in nay way, I could not do otherwise I must stab her too. " Dearest Mother,—Saturday evening, when I came, I had not at least any intention to commit this awful act ; but as I learned that my dear Caroline gave me back my likeness, and as she told me she would leave, I did not know any other way than that leading to the cutler, where I bought a poignard which divided the hearty lovers. Arm by arm I brought my dearest souls in the world over to the unlucky place, near th e roa d b efore Folkstone, and requested them to sit down. But the grass being wet, they refused to do so, and I directed then Caroline to go for ward, and I went behind Maria, into whose breast I ran the daggar. With a dull cry she sank down. With a most broken heart I rushed then after Caroline, lifting the poignard in nay hand towards her. Dear Dedea,' cried she, with a haltdead voice, and fell down with weeping eyes. Then I rushed over her, and cave her the last kisses as an everlasting remembrance. I could not live a more dreadful hour in my life than that was, and my broken heart could not feel when my senses were gone. And I took both the black capes of Maria and dear Caroline, as a mourning suit for me, leaving the awful spot with weeping eyes and a broken heart. Never shall I forget my dear Caroline and Maria, and the poignard will be covered with blood until it will be put in my own breast, and I shall see again my dear Maria and Caroline in the eternal life. Farewell, and be not unhappy about the blissful deceased, they are angels of God, and forget the unhappy ever weeping, " DEDEA REDANIES." The second letter was addrcssed to Lieut. Schmid, ez • pressmg .. regret at what he had done, and confessing to baying " squandered away'? his watch, forgiveness of which he craved, and also for the crime he had committed. Super intendent Walker, Kent constabulary, home division, pro duced the letter in question, which he received from the postmaster of Lower Ilardies. The coroner then carefnlly summed up the evidence. pointing out its bearing on the investigation, and could scarcely restrain his feelings while doing so. After a few moments' consideration the jury returned a verdict of wilful murder aga'nst Dedea Redanies, and a warrant was immediately made out for his appre. heusion. THE BELGIAN PETEs.—According to the Belgian papers, 600,000 quarts of beer were drunk in the beer shops of Brussels during the late fetes. One of the latter, called Le Petit Paris, alone sold 20,000 quarts, and three pumps were kept working day and night. GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.—The dividend to be pro posed at the en su i ng half-yearly general meeting of proprietors of the G rea t Western Railway Company will be at the rate of 2i per cent. per annum, with a balance, exceeding £6,000, to be carried over to the next meeting. POISONING BY STRYCHNIA IN DENMARK.—A clerk with a wealthy merchant of the Danish capital, named M. Joencke, who had been an unsuccessful gambler, has pleaded guilty to robbing his master of considerable sums of money, and to having s-nt him poisoned powder, and put strychnia in his coffee. The medical attendant happily detected the poison in time to save the merchant's life. The prisoner was condemned to be beheaded. A TRUE SOLDIER' WIFE.—Mrs. Wilding, wife of a corporal of the Royal Artillery, was one of three females who were allowed to land with the troops at Old Fort, in the Crimea. She was present with her husband at the battle of the Alma, marched by his side across the court try to Balaklava, and was present at the battle of Balak lava, where she took a horse from a Russian officer. During her residence in the camp she earned by washing an average amount of 20s per diem, and saved a con siderable sum. Her invariable companion during the war was an excellent revolver, which she much prizes. Corporal Wilding, with his brave wife, left Woolwich for Weedon barracks last week. POLICE COURT -Y T STERPAY (BEFORE _MESSRS MAXWELL AND W. BATHROBE.) ASSAULT.—Frederick Binck summoned Capt. Thomas Owen, of the sloop Robert, for an assault.. The com plainant said he was going on board a vessel, and had to cross the defendant's vessel, when he heard the defendant swearing at some men, and he said to defendant, then was no use in swearing at boatm n. when the defendant caught and shook him, and also struck him. Mr. Bluck, for the defence, said the complainant, had no right to go on board the defendant's vessel, and he urged that, the captain used., no more violence than was necessary to put the complainant ashore, as he refused to go He produced two witnesses, who fully established this, and the complaint was dismissed, the magistrates telling Mr. Binck be interfered in a matter in which he had no right to interfere. THE VALUE OF A BATH.—Miss Biddy Maguire ap peared to answer a complaint preferred against her by a woman named Elizabeth Carey, of Warwick-street, for having given her a bath, by pouring about three gallons of cold water over her head, and the said Miss Maguire was a complainant against the son of Mrs. Carey, for divers misdemeanours committed against her. Mr. Black was for Miss Maguire (and an exceedingly pretty client he had), and it took nearly all the ingenuity he possessed to unravel the mystery which cloaked the affair. However, after a goad !deal of trouble, the learned gentleman succeeded in eliciting the fact, that Master Carey swore he would die for Miss Maguire, and probably out of affection for her, he struck her a blow on the handsome face which added some sable to her already pretty black eyes, and for this, the magistrates fined him 2s 6d and costs, at the same time that Miss Maguire had to disburse a like sum for having given a bath to Master Carey's mother. PUBLICANS AND BEERHOUSE CASES. Hiram Henderson, publican, RPgent street, was charged for selling whiskey at illegal hours. Adjourned for witnesses. Henry Barigan, beerhouse keeper, Harding street, Windsor, was summoned for allowi ng d run k en persons in the h ouse. Mr. Black, for the defence, called wit nesses to disprove the allegation. Fined 10s and costs. Thomas Fox, publican - , Simpson street, was charged with doing business on Sunday night last, at a quarter past eleven o'clock. Mr. Bremner was for the defendant, and said there was no drink supplied after the legal hour. On proof of this, the charge was dismissed. Andrew Morison, beerhouse keeper, Stewart street, was summoned for doing busi ness on unday morning, and for daving a drunken man in the house. Di sm i sse d. _ .. . . John Kennedy, beerhouse keeper, Browniow charged with doing business at illegal hours. Dismissed. Peter Eckersly. beerhouse keeper, Vauxhall road, was charged with doing business at illegal hours on Sunday morning. Mr. Block defended, and stated that the persons in the house were lodgers. There was a second information against the defendant for permitting drunken persons in the house. Fined on one case lOs and costs; the other withdrawn, on the application of Mr. Bluck. Andrew Fryar, publican, Scotland road, was charged with Sunday trading. The fault was laid on the clock, in this case. Dismissed. Andrew Morison, beerhouse keeper, Stewart street, was charged with Sunday trading. Fined 2s 6d. William Nicholson, beerhouse keeper, Circus street, was chargeil with Sunday trading. Mr. Bluck, for the defence, raised a question whether'ale given as a gift by defendant to the person land in the house constituted a selling. His worship considered it did. not, and dismissed the Complaint. (BEFORE MR. MANSFIELD.) THB WAY IT HAPPENED.—A tall wicked-looking fellow, named James Murphy, was c h arge d b y po li ce officer2l4, for having assaulted him. He said he saw the prisoner at the King's Pierhead, he was drunk, and made attempts to assault several persons who were pas sing. The _witness wanted him to go away, but he refused, and asked liberty to go down .the steps to bathe his feet, and the constable permitted him to do so, but it appeared that laveing process had a wonderful effect on him, for he commenced beating every one he could lay hands on, and when the officer interfered, he made a promise which lie nearly performed, of flinging him over the pierhead, and. making food for fishes of him. Being prevented of putting his charitable inten tions into practice, he seized the policeman by the neck, and nearly disjointed that important portion of the body, at the same time he commenced a musical operation on the shins of complainant, with a pair of heavy shoes, the nails of which made considerable dints in the fleshy parts of the legs In reply to the charge, the prisoner said, "I'll tell you how it all happened. I went down the steps at the pierhead to wash my feet, and the moment the aides got a taste of the alt water, they capered about like the - very 'ould b o y' himself, and that was exactly how it happened. The feet had .played: him a trick of the same sort before, but if his worship let him off now, he would take care that they should not trick him any more." He was fined 10s and costs, or to be imprisoned for one month. 1 (istFoltE MR. MAXWELL) THE ROBBERY OF MR. PHELAN.—William Barlow, who was remanded on the above charge, a report of which appeared in our paper of yesterday, was brought up. Inspector Murphy said the police were not able to find the woman, as it appeared that the mother of the prisoner had go , , her away, supposed to the Isle of Man, and, therefore, no further evidence could be produced against the prisoner. Mr. Dodd for the prisoner, urged that he must he discharged, and his worship discharged him accordingly. FRIGHTFUL MURDER AT PARIS. The quarter of the Faubourg St. Martin has just been the scene of a frightful murder. About four o'clock the morn ing before last, the attention of the porter of a house in the Rue de la Fidelite was excited by a noise in one of the upper stories. Fearing that some of his lodgers were about to effect a clandestine removal, he got up and went out of his lodge to see what was going on. S;arcely had he ascended.a few steps of the staircase, when he met a man, who is a clerk in a public administration, named K—, who occupied a r o om a b ove, b earing on his shoulders the naked body of a woman with the bead cut off. On seeing the porter, and alarmed at the cry which that person raised, the man threw down the body, ascended hastily towards his room, and jumped out of the window on the second floor into the street. The upper part of a shep window on the ground floor broke his fill, and he came on the foot pave. meat without having received any injury, and ran off as fast as he could towards the Faubourg, St. Denis. Few persons were in the street at that hour in the morning, and no one consequently stopped him. Information having been sent to the commissary of police, that functionary was slon on the spot accompanied by a medical man. It appears from the preliminary investigation that T about two years ago fell violently in love with a young girl, with whom he had resided in the house for more than a year, but she one day disappeared. After searching for her for several months, he at length discovered the fugitive ' • but, notwith standing his earnest ent rea ti es , s h e refused to renew her acquaintance with him. It is thought, however, that on Saturday she had come to IC 's room, anal that during the night was perpetrated the horrible crime of which the circumstances are as yet but very imperfectly known. The room on its being entered was found in the greatest disorder, and everything covered with blood. The head was found in a pail. It is supposed that S must have accomplished the decapitation with a razor while his victim was asleep. The age of the girl is considered by the medical man to be about from twenty-three to twenty-five, but nothing has yet been discovered to prove her identity. The body was con sequently removed to the Morgue. It is supposed that fancying that every one was asleep in the house would have carried the body into the street and there left it, thus giving an idea that the murder had been effected in the public road, bat the waking of the porter-discon certed his plans. How he intended to manage with the head is by no means clear. The police are making a strict search for him, but no clue to him had been had. The following are additional details .—The mur derer's name is Poirier, his age is thirty-five, and he was employed as office porter by the Societe d'Emigration Franco-Americaine, whose offices are at that address. On Saturday the chief employes of the company, on the termi nation of the business of the day, said that th e y s h ou ld go into the count r y i n th e evening and stop till Monday, and they left him in charge of the offices. In the evening he went out, and after stopping out some time returned with a young and pretty woman, who went upstairs with him the concierge making no objection. In the night the concierge, as already stated, was awakened by a strange !riga on the staircase. He got up and found Voider dragging down by the legs the 'body of a woman with the head cut off. " The chemise of the victim was tied over the neck, probably to prevent the effusion of blood. The concierge, whose name is Ferrageau, horrified, cried for his wife to come to him, and armed himself with an old sword which he preserved as an old soldier. He then said to Poirier Wretch ! what have you done ? You shall not pass !" " What matter," said Poirier, " whether I pass or not ? lam avenged on a woman wh o h as made me suffer a good deal, and I have no wish to escape ! Arrest me if you like!" lie, however, returned up stairs, and the concierge an d his wife hastened to summon the police. The police at onc e proceeded to the man's bed-room on the sixth story, but did not find him or any trace of the crime. They accordingly descended to the offices, the door co' which was open, and found th at the murder had ' been committed in a kitchen attached to them, which is fitted up as a bed-room. The first object that attracted their attention was an iron balance forming part of a letter (apping press ; and as it was covered with blood, and had hair adhering to it, it was evident that the victim had been beaten about the head with It. On a table was a knife stained with blood ; near the bed, which was also stained with blood (a fact which shows that the young woman must hays been struck on the head whilst lying on it), was a large tin. pail nearly filled with blood ; and in this pail was the head of the victim.

Lovers of truth will, I think, generally be sorry to see in Mr. Lowe's letters two objectionable things:— bit. The use in the earlier part of them of the a priori argument, and the argument from consequences ; all history is full of the dangerous results following from a use of these with reference to religion, which relates to a Being who "hideth himself," and " whose ways are not as our ways." The first, applied to the exist ent of evil in the world, and in the real Christian's breast, has been used as an argument against the existence of a God at all ; the second, taking the form, " if this new thing be true, what will become of us," sent Galileo to prison, and countless martyrs to the stake. 2nd. In the latter part 'of the letters, lovers of truth will be sorry to see Mr. Lowe, while triumphantly bringing forward as unanswerable the old rep'ies to objections, charging Mr. Macnaught with entirely ignoring these, when, in point of fact," la the very first pages of his book Mr. Maenaught states, with the most perfect distinctness, his entire knowledge and recog nition of these replies, but also states that they are more or less unsatisfactory to his mind—a conclusion in which many of the readers of Mr. Lowe's letters will agree. This is really too bad, because it amounts to a charge against a writer on a solemn and important subject, that he has only considered one side of it. But, after all, sir, I am satisfied that this dispute, which has run on so long, and produced so much bitterness and ill-feeling, is, in truth,only a mis-understanding in the right sense of that word, which, alas I is so common a cause of dispute, as to have come in ordinary language to mean disputes themselves, however occasioned. A. little reflec tion, I think, will show both that Mr. Macnaught, in a most true and real sense, holds the Bible to be infallible' while Mr. Lowe and his party, in an equally true and real sense, hold it to he fallible. To understand this seeming paradox, it is needful to notice that all truth has t ro perfectly distinct parts-Ist, The objective part, or the facto external to the mind on which it is founded; and, 2nd, The subjective part, or that which it becomes when received into and looked at as part of the human mind and consciousness—for instance, the rotation of the earth is generally believed to be a truth, but the objective part of this truth, that upon which it is founded, viz., the apparent movement of the heavenly bodits, is evidentt, during many ages it actually did deceive met. , taken, however, into the mind and passed through the alembic of reason, the real and approximately Infallible truth comes forth. Now, in the same way Mr. Macnaught undoubtedly holds that infallible teaching resides in the wording of the Bible—that is, such teaching as will infall ibly guide us to salvation, and that, of course, is all we need care about—but that this teaching cannot be drawn forth without the operation upon these words of man's conscience, reason, mind, whatever you like to call it but which I would prefer to call the Spirit of God. On the other hand, Mr. Lowe and his party will hardly, I think, be prepared to maintain a real objective infallibility in the Bible. fallible. ; when Mr. Macnaught has said that he holds every word of the Bible to be inspired—full of the light of God's truth— but he thinks that that light is reflected through the human media, by means of which it comes to us, and re -1 by those media, and that the true and pure light cannot be seen without the human mind and conscience, aided by god's spirit which resides in them when earnest and sincere, putthsg themselves int, sition as those who first received such pu ruth. Newton's ex- periments with the prism exactl ate this. The prismatic rays refracted by the glass, and appearing as red, blue, yellow, f4cc., are all in reality light; but they do not appear as pure white light, until another prism is placed beside the first in exactly a corresponding position ; the coloured rays entering into this latter are refracted back again, or re-united to each other, and the pure light re-appears. In like manner the Bible's outward teaching, joined to the inward prayerful consideration of each reader, gives to him, to his own mind, and for his own guidance, a net result of pure truth, a net result of infalli bility —not in dogmatic doctrine, for all words must be inadequate to convey to finite minds a full conception of an infinite being, but infallibility as to saving truth. This, I believe, Mr. Macnaught holds ; this is also what I suppose Mr. Lowe holds, and this can avid en tl y b e the only infallibility of the Bible. It is, of coarse, absurd for Mr. Lowe to hold any external' objective infallibility in the Bible, while, I have no doubt, he continually urges his congregation to pray over its pages, and ask the Holy Spirit to guide them in its perusal. It is clear this is the general teaching of all the Schools, because all feel that many texts of scripture will mislead if taken in their mere external meaning, and not applied 4- o the reader's own case, with due consideration, also, to whom and under what circumstances, the words were first addressed. this feeling as to the fallibility of the external words of the Bible is sometimes exhibited very strongly by Mr. Lowe's party ; for instance, St. Paul says, "He that regardeth the day regardeth it to the Lord, and he that regardeth not the day regardeth it not to. the Lord ;" and again, " Let no man judge you in meats or in drinks, or in new moons, or the Sabbath day." Now, to a plain man, these texts, especially when taken in connection with their context, seem clearly enough to indicate that Christian men are to enjoy perfect freedom as to thf employment of their time on the Lord's day, as well as on others. Mr. Lowe's friends, however, clearly regard these passages as fallible, because they say you cannot get the real truth from them, in fact, they will deceive you until you apply our prism But why, then, it may be reasonably asked, does Mr. Macnaught not say that the Bible's words, itdde re tder's prayerfully ex . xcisod con9eieur T, p ro d, result of teaching which is an infallible guil e ? that any candid reader will see that this is clearly to ba gathered from his book, but that that book is chiefly concerned in breaking the idol of an absurd infallibility. which has been set up by unthinking men, and in trans ferring the authority of your Bible from the sandy founda tion of an a priori dogma to the solid basis of a Baconian induction from its unmistakeable usefulness to each individual mind that tries its teaching, and to the worlel at large. to the a net I answer, Hoping these few crude words may be of some use in restoring the peace which has been so sadly disturbed by the lamentable forgetfulness, by ministers of Jesus Christ, of tho cardinal precept of his Gospel " Love one another," I remain, your obedient servant, W.

He ceased to watch it about midnight, but the watchman observed it tip to half.. past one o'clock this morning. It did not seem so large as on the previous nights, but still far exceeded the most brilliant form in which the planet Jupiter has ever been beheld.
