AllOlllll JRUPOSSI Asrsia.—The principle laid
d .on by tin Byron: jury will have to be to/tad afresh.
In the town of Briey (department Moodie) • laquey
oiled Bonet, nicknamed Fanfan, Red 18, had met a
y.eung lady gathering mite at some " Nutting Hill" or
Shepherd'e Bush;' and he eontrived to obtain admis-
sion Nrtivily to the young lady's apartment. The
father, suspecting some wrong, ordered her brother,
aged 17, to sleep in her room with a loaded gun. Fanfan,
on the 21a6 of December, Made his app.araooo at 9 in
the evening; the brother shot him at the window—the
opulent. of • docable-barrelled gllO lodging in the throe:.
Bun and father were arrested.
Akcellowalcat DtSooVillie.—M. /ACC Pallas, a
few days ago, communicated to the Academy of Inscrip-
tions and Belles-Lettres joins curious &weals' which
ho had mode at Epinayaur-Seine, near St. Denis, of
vestiges of • Gallo-Roman village and burial-place on
the estate called Manior du Mont, the property of M
CAtinieux. While some workmen were digging • ditoh.
M. Vallee observed traces of sarcophagi in plaster. He
immediately bid the men clear away the earth carefully,
and this succeeded in extricating eight of them entire,
each of which contained • skeleton. Continuing his
revarches, he discovered ten yards below the swim* of
the soil, a gallery eight yards in length by two in height
sal breadth. From this gallery doors led to two lateral
pa gages, each in the form of a Greek cross. At another
rip it, near the principal street of Fpinay, he found a
crept, composed of two galleries crossed by a third, the
later of which opens into a subterranean °Much, con-
situated of masonry of great antiquity. At • distance
of two kilometres from this, near the Château de la
iche, • large number of ancient graves were found.
All these crypta and relics appear to belong to the Mero-
vingian period.
The following are the items of the intended Paris im
pravements i--1- Building of a sot of roads (clicsuases)
eel boulevards, which, branching off from the railway-
terunnua, will unite all the districta of the town and
divide it, as it were, like the squares of • chess-board;
the stroeta to be embellished in succession. 2. Improve-
ment of the sanitary condition of Paris, by the leading
of pure water into all the stories of houses, and a perfect
sewage of the streets. 3. A new organisation of the
internal communications, which, although it will not
reach the regularity of a railway traffic, will atill afford
great alleviation to the over-crowded streets. The eon-
tie nation of the railway up to the markets (holies), the
completion of the circular railway line around Paris, on
the left bank of the Seine, the utilization of this line,
an.l the chief market terminus for the transport of
travellers, and especially the conveying of the working.
men over the whole extent of the line to their often
distant dwellings, is among the chief items of this grand
plan. To this is to be added the removing of the octroi
stations (tollbars) to the external fortifications, the
transferring of the hospital beyond the centre of the
town, and the energetic exertions at the workmen's
habitations.
