A wrFrs REVENGE.

An eatraordinary trial, which ham attracted much
attention in France, terminated on Tuesday night at
Poitiers. The Comtease de Tilly was charged with throw-
ing vitt iol in the face of her husband's mistress, Marie
Marechal a seamstress, 24 years of age. Mdme. de Tilly
was married in 1867, at the age of twenty, and has had
four children. Eighteen months ago her husband became
enamoured of Marie /Larichal He was in the habit of
seeing her four times a day—thrice on her passing his
house, when be used to watch for her and kiss his hand
to her, and on the fourth time when he went to fetch his
children from ac.hool. He avowed also his intention of
martying her if his wife, whose health gave way under
her trials, died. He is believed to have squandered at
least 30.111111 f. of his mother's property on his paramour,
and he once, at least, received her under hts own roof
Marie Martichal, moreover, used to irritate the wife's
dross, sneered at her in the streets, and became known as
"is petite Comte's...* One of their children found at the
foot of M. de Tilly', bed 13,000 f. in notes, part of the
proceeds of a sale of his mother's property, and his conduct
convinced the Countess that he intended eloping with his
mistress, staying abroad till her own death, tu marrying
her rival ; so, driven to desperation, she resolved that if
this infatuation was due to the girl's beauty, she would at
least destroy this and thus rescue her children against
each • stepmotLer. She accordingly bought some vitriol,
telling the chemist it was for cleansing copper utensils.
He warned her it was dangerous, on which she asked
whether if thrown in anybody's face it would leave • scar.
He replied, "Yes, and if it fell in the OY the
consaquenoes would be tet.ible.' After wavering she
went out, over took the a:rl, called out to her
"Mademoiselle," and, on her turning round, threw the
vitriol in her face. Some of It went into her left eye. She
suffered great agony, and Is now blind of one aye, besides

THE PRINCE OF WALES IN THE YACHT
RACE-11.R.1f. RUNS INTO THE
COMMITTEE BOAT.

What a sensation the Weymouth Regatta Committee
' —such as were on board the Chance—had on Tuesday
morning! Very nearly had they the honour of
being drowned by the Prince's yacht : but it must
be admitted that it was owing to the keenness for
sport, and not to any bad seamanship. The cutter
Chance was moored in the bay, an the finest of
sights is always to be seen when the beautiful yachts
at a flying start pass the committee boat. At the
start the yawls Florinda and Latona, and the
schooner Miranda, started very close together and
swept by the Chance in full sail, almost in line. As
they passed under the stern of the Chance, Florinda
slightly leading, the others were so close that for a
few seconds there was danger of a grand collision
between the stationary cutter and the three sailing
yachts, and excitement was high, when down bore
His Royal Highness's cutter Formosa, swift and keen
as if she were going to run the leading yawl down.
Florinda just escaped ; but the Royal Yacht was too
close on the Chance, and although she tacked round
in good style, she was not quick enough, and to the
aLsrm of all on board down he Caine on the Chance,
and it was the nearest chance in the world she hadn't
sunk the cutter, or at least sent her mast and rigging
by the board. As it was, away went the Chance's
fore-topmast stay, and her fore braces, and several
flags were torn to rags. The Formosa, however,
rammed her helm very quickly' and she WS able to

POOLE QUAY.

A meeting of the Trustee, of the Poole Quay Wit held
on Wednesday last in the C.,uncil Chamber. There were
present—the Mayor (Mr. G. Curtis), Alderman Green,
Councillors W. N. Western, A. Hainan, J. Gifford, E. C.
Oskley, G. Andrews, E. J. Conway, and the Town Clerk
(Mr. H. W. D.ckenson).
Various bills were ordered for payment
The MAYOI stated the receipts for the pest month of
June had been £l5O, in the stme month, 79, they were
£165. end in '7B, /SO&
Mr. BALATON drew attention to the fact of what WU
likely to prove • bad debt for dues (no) contracted by Mr.
R. Penny. He contended these dues ought to be paid in
cosh at the time. They could not 'evilly lye credit, and
should be paid when the ship d her cargo. If
they had that debt of Mr. Pelmet., and other arrears due
to the Quay Trustees, they would be in • position to pay
off another £2OO on the dredger. Instead of that there
was a smell balance against them. It was true, for a ions
period 01 years, they had made but •ery few bad debts, but,
at the same time, he thousht the Inspector should be
instructed Rot to give credit at all.
Mr. OMILIT remarked it had awayl been the custom to
pay monthly.
The Yarns sal i that was all very well for merchants
who had • fixed business Iwo, but he would remind them
they had not lost £1 • year for the lest 50 years—lt was
decided to draw the attention of the collector to the Act.
A letter was reed from Mr. ALDZIDON. calling attention
to the condition of the mud in the Parkstone Bay. Since
the railway embankment bad been formed, Mr. Aldridge
said the mud inside had increased annually, so that very
shortly the effect would be injurious to those living in the
prig:quay.
Town Cutan said the matter was brought
before the Town Council wale time since, and it
was referred to the Borough filitor and some gentle-
man who came down on behalf of the company.
Mr. Aldridge then suggested some stones which had
been placed there should be removed, and although the
gentleman in question told them they would and it would
fill up faster, this was done with the result which had
been foretold. He himself thought those stones prevented
the mud being brought In. Now it come in end there
was no backwater to take it out again.
Mr. Wnsrints said the smells were very bad, and he had
no doubt it would become a serious question.
The MAYON said if the nuisance existed it most be
abated, and Lord Wimborne owned the land, so they had
bettor ask him to fill It up.

A letter from Messrs. and Co. was read ask-
ing if the Trustees could accommodate them with oyster
grounds. They would be to lay down 10 to 2)

seconded by Mr. CONWAY. the Clerk was instructed to
reply that the Council would be happy to &lord them
every assistance upon hearing further from them.

LOCAL NOTES.

- - --
Poole is a somewhat sleepy town, literally so. Walk
through the principal strode about six any of these
fine mornings and the number of smoking chimneys
you see may be reckoned upon the fingers of one hand.
Among other Motions we are promised a band for
the Salvation Army. If tke brothers and sisters,
Instrumentally, are not more regardful of that. and
melody than they are vocally, it will be a eon one
indeed.

" Captain" Foot, ex-mariaer, has been promoted
to a command in Cornwall. Captain Foot gets. I
believe, 1k a-week and hie "me," I wonder what
the " General" himself makes out of it.

We feel sure that the Dissenten of Poole must ever
feel grateful to their Parliamentary representative for
his telling speech upon the Burials Bill. Although
the honourable member dose not often favour the
Rouse by addressing it, still when be does so be does
not forget to let the world know how far it Is possible
for his feelings to carry him. Even those "
Bar-
barian" Dissenters, who voted for him at the last
election, shrug their shoulders at his fiery harangue,
whilst Nonconformists generally throughout the
country, whom ancestors for many years have paid
church rates unjustly levied, memithe the name of the
honourable member with all thatl is opposed to the
doctrines of equity and reason. We cannot list the
late sc of the member for Poole pass without con-
demn it from bminniag to end, as the effusion of a
man bigoted to Toryism, and to a belief that the
" Barbarian" Dimenter has no right to intrude his
oorpee within the precincts of " God'a-scre " unless
such ceremonies are performed in connection with Its
Interment as are consistent with the idea: of those
church,snd.stste" fanatics, who know of 110 rood to
heaven save through the Church of England.

If we are to take at Ms word the gallant Major.
who took upon himself recently to dilate in his usual
