MURDER IN FRANCE AND SENTENCE OF DEATII.--,
The Court of Anises of the Vosges has just been
engaged two days in trying a man named Aube', a
journeyman joiner, aged 24, charged with haying en the
22nd December, 1863, murdered a M. Joseph Dusepin„
a man possessing considerable property, residing as
Chapelle.aux-Bois A young soldier named Bailey,
aged 21, was also charged al his accomplice. Dusapin„
who was a man of miserly habits, and lived alone in an.
apartment on the ground floor of one of his own homey
was found lying dead in his sitting-room on the morning
of the 23rd December, 1863. His faoe was quite livit,.
and his tongue protruded between his teeth, but there,
was no apparent marks of violence on the body, mad his.
death was at first supposed to have been caused by'
apoplexy, but the post-mortem examination clew!"
proved that be had been strangled. There was no gigs,
that any robbery had been committed. As the deceased,
was not known to have any enemies, and only one
person, his own brother, Nicolas Dusapin, had any
interest in his death, suspicion fell upon him and he was
arrested. The prisoner Aubel came forwilrd to give
evidence to show that be had seen Dom* go to hie
brother's house on the evening of the 22nd December,
but Nicolas was fortunately able to produce the persons
with whom he had passed the evening, and was there-
fore discharged. More than a year had passed, when
the police were informed that a widow, named Bellay,
had let several expressions escape her which threw
suspicion on her son, the prisoner Bellay. Her hones
was accordingly searched, and letters from her son,
than in garrison at Dunkirk, were found which left nos
doubt that he was implicated in the murder. Orders,
were accordingly sent for his arrest, which was effected
just as he was about to absoond to England. Whelp
interrogated, he confessed that he had misted
Aubel in strangling Dusapin, to whose house they
had gone under pretence of hiring a chamber
for Aubel, but before they could search for their
victim's money they were disturbed by the arrinil
ef Nicholas Dusapin, who had been invited toe
peas the evening with his brother. When they heard'
Nicolas knock, they made their escape by a back-
windo w ; and Nicolas, not being able to procurer
admission, returned home again. Aubel admitted the
truth of his accomplice's confession as to the fact of the
murder, but insisted that Beller was the principal,,
not the accomplice, in the crime. That Aube' himself,
however, was the planner of the murder was proved to
the satisfaction of the jury, who found both prisoners
guilty, but allowed Bellay the benefit of extenuating
circumstances. The court accordingly condemned the
latter to hard labour for life, but passed sentence of
death on Aube!, and ordered that the execution should
take place at Vertigny.—Golicertani.
Ig. Rev. HENRI' WARD BARONE:R.—Probably no
person in America has done more by the wilful enem
of his office to corrupt both public and private 'Hue
than the so-called Rev. Henry Ward Beecher. At me
early day he assooisted himself with the knot ot
fanatics whose sole idea was hatred to the South, andl
by means of his undoubted talente, his caustic eloquence
and peculiar invective—hie bald innovations upon the
commonly-received theological dor:Annan amid his shame,
less admixture of religion and politiesin his ministerial
life, he soon made himself a leader. lire the
acknowledged representative of the poStied pri
he weekly fulminates from his rostrum in Prb"td
ysinioni
Church threatening, and slaughter, not only against the
people of the Confederate States, but against every one
who may choose to differ with him. And not only this,.
but upon nearly every night during the winter, andi
frequently during the summer, he repeats his tirade*.
before audiences of open-mouthed chawhaoons in the-
country or more polished dieorgaeieere in the ethics..
People have generally accepted Beecher ass monstrosity,.
and have for some time ceased to wonder at his re.-
volutionary utterances. But recently our attention
has been attracted towards this enemy of the Gospel of
Peace by his bitter attack upon brother clergymen. He
not only boldly advocates the preaching of politics, but•
savagely
in the w system lydennoeuoe denounces all in f
clerical holy orders rstiwhoßtjoic

i it:
a fine fortune, with a salary of 36,000 dollars a year,
the recipient of innumerable valuable gifts from his
delighted congregation, obtaining 200 dollars (and fro.
quently more) for every lecture he delivers, Mr. Bomber
doubtless finds that the subversion of all good thing.,
the open abuse of all good men is profitable—that "it
pays. Calling fellow-clergymen men of dough, ridiculing
them for their sincerity in their Master's work, scouting
all the opinions and traditions, and usages of the past,
Henry Ward Beecher is certainly building up for him-
self a monument of eternal infamy. But more than
this, his exempla is pernicious in the highest degree.
Young mon may justly argue that if so brilliant s divine
as Beecher openly announces that there are better
things to preach than the Gospel of the Saviour, they
may be est:seed for any leaning towards infidelity. And
step by step we are approaching general infidelity. We.
have not yet reached the madness of the French revo-
lution; but many of our clergymen have turned their
churches into rallying places for political mobs, and ex-
changed the pulpit for the "stump." And it seems no.
worse for us to set up Lincoln in our temples of worship,.
and bow to him, than it was for the French to elevate
naked Cyprisris upon the altar and kneel before them.
During the late Presidential campaign, ill Mr. Beecher's
church, and in others, frequent allusion was made
during the "sermons" to the Republican eandidata and
cheers were given for him by the oongrepiton.—Nine

WAR PHlClSB.—Everyone necessitated to purchase
anything in the provision line is so well acquainted as
we are with the enormous prices charged. Provisioner,
groceries, breadstuffs—evet7thing, in fact, seems to be
"on stilts" Floor the past week went up to 100 dole,
per barrel, and almost everything exhibited a propor-
tionate increase. The only abatement of prices noted'
by no was in a lot of eggs, which were gelling in market
at 5 dole. per dozen. We ahould think the fall in the
price of gold the pest few days would have had some
effect on the market, but it appears that it has not. The
money dealers seem to be as liberal as any other claim
—11•111208 i any of them being willing to lend 3 dole, on
20 doL gold pleee.—dfobiZe Advertiser.
WANT 07 OOMMUNICATION ON it AILWATS.—WritiNg
to • contemporary, Mr. Berkley, Fellow of Trinity
College, Oxford, says: —" I left OsJord br
the 8.53 train, which runs in at express pace to Pad-
dington, stopping once only, at Reading, on the way.
Sheri ly after Mewing Reading we were startled by a
sudden bumping of our carriage, as though a spring had
broken, or one of the wheels got loose. On looking
out of the window we saw that sparks
,z„„ I ing
thrown off beneath us, with • strong sine As
the bumping grew more violent, the "
more
numerous, and the smell of fire stronger, ...'d all in
our power by shouting and signallin3 to &Unice the
attention of the guard. The same alarm was felt and
the same signs made all down the train for more than
half an hour; but on we were dragged at full in
fear every moment of a catastrophe, till we allriieveelaat
the terminus. Two gentlemen were injured—one, I
' fear, broke his arm—in reaching out to make these
signals seen. That the danger was not fanciful, but
real, will be peen when I add that at the very moment
the train reached the station the wheel dew right off,
shaking violently the carriage, and knocking to pima
the stone work at the corner of the platform."
