BOULEVARDS TOR LIVERPOOL.—We believe it is
under consideration by the Improvement Committee of
the Town-council to carry a semicircular sweep of boule-
vard* round Liverpool, starting from a point about
Bootle, and, after forming the implant of a circle, end•
ing at the Dingle. It is proposed that the boulevards
shall be of a uniforms width of 100 yards; that there
shall be • central carriage drive of 20 yards, flanked on
each side by rows of trees ; that beyond the trees shall
be roads for pedestrians and equeetrians ; and that the
land outside the boulevards shall be available only for
the villa residences. The idea is • most excellent one,
and one the carrying out of which in demanded by the
rapid expansion of the town.

FRIGHTFUL AOCIDINT AT MALTA.—A lamentable
accident occurred on Saturday, the 17th July, by the
falling in of • portion of the Peninsular and Oriental
Company's mil stores at the Pieta, Malta, attended with
derious loss of life. At • quarter to eleven in the morn-
ing, when the coalmen were employed in loading •
lighter with coal, from No. 8 store, the wall dividing it
from the adjoining store, No. 7, neither of which is as
yet roofed, being unequal to the pressure of the large
quantity of CoMs contained in it, suddenly gave way,
and distressing to relate, a number of the workmen who
had not time to effect their escape were crushed to death
by the falling mass of atoned, coals, and rubbish. 20
men were employed in No. 8 store when the accident
took place, 12 carrying coals, and 8 removing a heap of
oral dust which lay dose to the door. These latter 8
escaped, while 10 out of the 12 engaged in removing the
coal from the inner part of the store were killed on the
spot, and another was so severely hurt as to render his
immediate removal to the hospital neuessary.

To R XING THC TABLIS.—A oorn factor was returning
two days ago from hiontlery, on the Orleans road, when
suddenly a man, holding • large stick in his hand,
stepped out from behind • tree, and demanded his
money or his life. "Why, you seem somewhat peremp-
tory," was the reply, " but here is my answer," and he
drew out • revolver. Then, presenting the weapon at
the man, he said, "If you do not obey my injunctions
in every respect I will fire. It is an unpleasant thing
to kill a nun, but with respect to you I should not have
the slightest hesitation. First of all throw down your
stick; and next, turn out your pockets, and place there
on the road everything of value you have about you—
money, jewels, no matter what." "I cannot resist •
demand so strongly supported," said the other, "but
if you do business on the highway also I must say that
it Is very irregular to rob a confrere." " Come, make
mute," said the other in a menacing tone. "it is a
punishinent I inflict on you; I want to give your money
to the poor. Despatch I" The footpad made no further
delay, but laid his stick and portemonnaie at the feet of
the factor, and then took to flight &craw the field. The
contents of the portemounaie, 103 f. 950., were duly
deposited in the poor-box of his parish church by the
dealer.

EXTINUATI CHIOUNITANOZO. —The Cotirt of Amine'
of the Puy de Dome his just been occupied two days
in trying a young woman mimed Vallaude, for the
murder of her husband, and her brother, one Chemise
as her accomplice. The woman in February of last year
married a fanner named Vallaude, of Demon., not
from any love for him, but because he possessed more
property than mho did. She, however, iminediatly after
the sere nony was performed refused to go home with
him, or to let him go to the house in whioli she lived
with her brother, and neither the prayers nor the
threats of the man nor the remonstrances of the neigh.
hours could subsequently induce her to have any oom•
nsuniciation with him. Vallaude being of • weak
character, frequently went to her house and implored
her to treat him as a wife should, but she almost always
drove him away with blows and abuse. Am to her
brother, with whom. she was strongly suspected of
maintaining a scandalous intimeoy, he frequently let
fall observations to the effect that Valleude would not
live long, and that his sister on marrying him had re.
solved soon to get rid of him. On the 18th of
October last Vallaud resolved to pay • new visit to his wife,
to entreat her once more to coins to his house, and he
took her in a basket two bottles of wine and soine
lettuoes. Shortly after his arival the neighbonre heard
cries of " Jean ! Jean !" which was the name of one of
them, and they were followed by other cries of" Help !"
"Murder l" The cries suddenly masked, and a few
seconds after the woman Vallaude, in her night dna+,
knocked at the door of her nearest neighbour, and said
that her husband bad just fallen into the well, "Alas I
Alas I 0 help en r' Two men immediately deseended,
but he was quite dead. The woman protested that he had
fallen in accidentally, but, from the nature of the outs
and wounds on his head, it seems probable that he must
have been thrown Us head foremost. There were no
other persons in the homes but the brother and mister,
and no others weld have had any meson for desiring the
01413'S death. The jury declared them both filthy,
with extenuating cdrcutostanoes, and the Court con-
demned tlzeto to 20 years' lord labour.
