MARSEILLES,
The following is a summary of the allocution
delivered by the Pope in the consistoryllooflincar-
dinals, held on the 28th ult
detested and deplored Alp conduct of Piedmontand her guilty invasion of the Papal States. He
spoke with emotion of the brave soldiers who died
in his defence and had the firm hope that they
have obtained eternal peace and blessedness. He
reproved and condemned in every -Way the detest-
able and sacrilegious attack of the. King and the
.Government of.Piedinont.' He declared their acts
to be null and of no effect. He protested, and would
not cease to protest, in order to maintain entire the
civil power enjoyed by the Roman Church. The
Pope further said that the Support of foreign assist-
ance against criminal invasion was still to be desired,
and recalled the reiterated declarations made by one
of the most powerful Sovereigns of EUrope. His
Holiness thus continued —Whilst, however, we
have for a long time been expecting such a result,

certain professional enpliries respecting the whereabouts.
of a thief, who had stolen money from ft woman,

ATTEMPTED WIFE MURDER 1N PAurs.—Loud cries
of
_" Help ! Aurder !" were heard on Saturday morir-
ing at an early hour in a room on the first floor of the
house •No. 70,. Rue Saint Mani-Popincotirt, alid'a few
moments .after a female in her night-dress, and with
blood streaming from wounds in the head, appeared at
the, windGAv Some persons hurried up, but found. the
door of the apartment fastened ; they therefore got the
woman out through a window opening on to the stair-
caee: They conveyed her into the room of a neigh-
bour, and 'sent' for the commissary of .polieg "'and a
medical man. •The latter found that she had received
ten- or eleven wounds on the head, inflicted by some
blunt instrument, but that, though serious, they were
not mortal. The woman stated that she. bad been
awakened from her sleep by feeling something about her
throat; and then found that' her husband had slipped a
noose over her head and was about to strangle her- She
pulled away the cord, on which the man dragged her
from the bed and struck her repeatedly on the head with
a hammer, exclaiming, as he did so, " I have been advised
to take this vengeance I" 'When at last she broke
from. 'him and cried for • help at the • window, ho
took te flight, fastening the door after him. The police,
on Making inquiries, learned that the man had none to
the house of a relative in the neighbourhood, and
changed his clothes, which were stained with blood, for
others, after which he' had gone away, s4ying that
he was a ruined man !• It 'appears that the couple,
who kept a wine shop, had been married three years.
About twelve months back the woman became very
light in conduct, and in consequence frequent quarrels
took place between her and the man, who was of a
jealous disposition. At the beginning of last month she
left him, and was absent for three weeks. • She had been
-passing the time with a lover, lint the man consented to
pardon her, and she returned to him. They afterwards
lived quietly together until the event of Saturday. The
belief is that the 'man is labouring under a sudden attack
of insanity. He has given himself ipto the custody
of the commissary of 'police of the district in which he
resided. He fully confessed his guilt, declaring that he
was overivlelmed with remorse. . He' was conveyed to
the Prefecture of Police. .

A VILLAGE OE ARSENIC-EATERS. —A stream called
Whitbeck, rising in the Blackcombe Mountains, in West
Cumberland, contains arsenic in dete,rminable quantity.
The arsenic is most probably derived from veins of
arsenical cobalt ore, through which it percolates;' for a
few yards above the source, of the beck there
,is ,tha
entrance of a mine whichis very rich in arsenical ore.
The arsenical water is habitually used for every purpose
by the inhabitants of the little village of Whitbeck, and
with beneficial results so apparent that one might be
justified in, paradoxically characterising it as a very
wholesome poison, the deadly elements in dilution being
productive of the most sanitary effects ! Ducks will not
live if confined 'to the Whitbeck, and while trout abound
in. all the neighbouring. rivulets, no fins are ever found
in the arsenicated stream. But its use by the villagers
does not give rise to any symptoms of arsenical poisoning
but rather to the effects which are observed in Styria
among the arsenic-eaters there. When the railway was
being carried past Whitbeck the first use of the water
produced the usual marked effects on the throats both of
the men and horses employed on the works. The sore-
ness of mouth from which they at first, suffered soon,
however, disappeared, and the horses gave rise to that
sleekness of coat assigned as one of the effects produced
by the adriiiiiistration Of inintite but repeated doses of
arsenic. It,is a question how far the rosy looks of, the
Whitbeck children, and the old age which a large pro-
portionOf the inhabitants of the village attain, are to be
attributed to the arsenic present in the water.— West-
moreland Gazette.
