I was pared by three equestrians—two certainly men,
the third a puzzle, but seeming rather of the ' epioene,'
or doubtful gender. II wore a yellow Zone,. jacket; a
bleak garment beyond description clothed its lower
members; aod on Its bead waa jauntily stack • bens-
sliere hat with • great plume of yellow and black
feathers. It rode like a woman—that is, very fast and
reckless—to the evident terror and suffering of it. two

ono at least with his feet thrust into his etirrope the
wrong way, were tempting Providence in • trot. A wide
ditch was before them—l bays seen men turn from •
smaller. It, however, went etraight at it, and got well
over; end turning round, and taking off her hai to her
'Pounded' companions, there was the beautiful face of
the ex-Queen of Naples, who stopped to light her sign',
while the two mini went ignominiously round by the
bridge.
A &riming Sowing.—A subside, attended with
strange circumstances, warred at Drees three days
back. A young married woman el that town, named
Arrondeau, a labourer's wife, who had committed •

the Cornett/nal Police, determined to destroy herself,
and for that pqrpoe. shut herself up In • small closet,

one corner. It le supposed that, by some involuntary
movement, she overturned the brasier, and set Are to
the strww. The action of the &Mee aroused her from
her insensibility, and she rushed into the street with
the remnante of her clothes in • blase. The neighbours
soon extinguished the dames, but she was so WIT
burnt that the died • few hours after.

TIII Palltei OF WALia IX CoIII.XXI7.—On entering
Coblents on the evening of the 20th, the Prince of
Wales and the Crown Prince and Princess rode in a
carriage immediately behind that occupied by the King
of Prussia, and were enthusiastically cheered, especially
by these of British nationality either resident in the
town or neighbourhood, or who making a tour in Rhine-
land. Immediately after the royal carriages came an
enormous torchlight procession, consisting of the various
societiee and corporations of the town, bearing their
thole flags and banners, headed by the chief inexistrate
and the town council, and numbering 2,090 persons.
The nail ,nal hymn was sung by the populace, and the
procession made the circuit of the town, and soon after•
wards the royal visitors left the cattle in open
carriages and passed through the illuminated streets.
The Beene at this time Was magnificent, for not only
Was the town illuminated, but resplendent fires Aimee

Ehrenbreitstein on the opposite shore, and on the neigh-
bouring heights. Their Majesties are expected to
remain at Cobleuts for some days.

CRIME Is FHANCK.—A deplorable •ffair has occurred
In the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine. A married
couple, carrying on the trade of butchers at No. ICI in
that street, had frequent quarrels, owing to the man,
for some reason, having forbidden his wife to visit her
family, and to her disregarding his prohibition. On
Monday evening the wife, taking advantage of the man's
absence, went to see her sister. After • while he
arrived, and bitterly reproaehed his wife for disobeying
his orders; but, by the intervention of his mister-in-law
and her husband, who were present, be became calm,
and promised to live on better terms with his wife. As,
however, the woman feared that the man would commit
some act of violence, she begged her sister to scoompany
her home and pass the night in her room, the husband
making no objection. The man and wife retired to
rest together, and the woman's sister slept on • mattress
behind their bed. At about 4 o'clock in the morning
the man, as visual, got up to attend to his business, and
went out. The two women, who bad been awakened by
Ids movements, shortly afterwards fell 'asleep: About
two hours later the sister was awakened by hearing the
butcher's wife cry ont "Help! He is murdering me I"
and, jumping up, to her honor she perceived the man
stabbing his wife with a large knife. He then entered
an adjacent room, and inflicted a deep stab on his own
abodinen ant another near the heart, The woman's
cries attracted some persons upstairs, and the trian was
I conveyed to the hospital, whilst medical assistance wu
roomed for the wife. The wounds of both, however,
I are so grave that no hope is entertained of saving them.

went to • lodging-house in the Rue de la Patti d'Ole,
in which his wife. from whom he is separated, resides,
and abused her. To avoid him she went into the street,
and her landlady, whose name is Mancha, joined her.
Presently the husband coining up rushed towards her
with • large knife. She slipped behind Mose. Matechal,
and the latter received • dreadful wound in theabodmen,
through which some of the intestines protruded. She,
however, seised the man, and held bun until he was
secured. Her own situation is considered exceedingly
I dangerous.

Tribunal of Simple Police, a few days hack. A lady
