The Kulnische Zeitung of the sth sars, in elu-
sion to the explanations said to have been demanded
as to the destination of the Austrian fleet :

It is rather strong that Distend desires to prevent the
' allies putting a stop to Danish piracy with their own war.
ships ! Jealousy of her dominion at sea is certainly
England's weak point ; but, if Austria for the moment
yields in this master to superior foros, its misuse
would assume a more revolting character should
England not herself now limit Denmark's naval
action, and in some degree replace the purpose of
the Austrian flotilla in the Baltk. Austria has therefore
acted very properly in not pledging herself unreservedly.
" Sabsequently"—i.e., should the armistice not be effected,
or cease without leading to peace—" subsequently" Austria
will again consider whether she wal not send her war ves-
sels into the Baltic in spite of England. if only by their de-
struction to kindle the losg•smouldering displeasure of the
whole of Germany at England's hostile injustice into a
blaze of flame! It is self-evident that the departure of •
single English war vessel • :th hostile intentions towards
the allies must immediately quash the conference.

;circumstances wen. Bat the facts relative to the death of
the widow Pauw called attention to those of the former
event, and the result is thot a second crime is etabli•hed
goblet the prisoner. The post-mortem made two years
after the death failed to give the same results which it
would have dope if made immediately—the lapse of time
prevents the medical men stating with certainty the canoe
of death. But Dr. Tardieu reports that the principal
organs were in such a state of preservation u renders it
difficult to suppose that death could have resulted from
natural causes. It is, moreover, to ►e observed that this
disease so rapidly supervening upon perfect health—
• disease which was neither cholera, nor apoplexy,
nor aneurism—is a most surprising thing, ►nd that the doses
of morphine and digitalis exhibited by order of the pri-
soner were truly excessive. Thus in the case of Madame
Dubin, as in that of Madame Punt, the post-mortem
examination led to the discovery of no trace of lesion in
the organs which could have caused death ; at the same
time the inquiry shows that in both eases there was ao
other symptom of illness than that of vomiting coming oa
suddenly and unaccountably in the midst of perfect health.
In both cases La Pommerais was present a few minutes
before the vomiting took place; and in both cases it is
proved that a short time previous he had purchased •
considerable quantity of digitalis which has di appeared
without his being able to explain what became of it.
Everything shows that Madame Dubin met the same
kind of death as Madame Pauw, and that the prisoner made
both of them the victims of b's cupidity.

The judge then proceeded to his examination,
and, addressing the prisoner, told him that, so
the interrogatory would be long, be might sit down
whenever he pleased. " Your family," he said,
" lives at Neuvilleaux-Bois, and is very much
respected. We can understand the grief it
must feel at the situation in which you are
placed. Your father is a physician ; you have
an uncle who lives at Orleans, and is a chemist.
[The Prisoner—l beg your pardon, Me. Pre-
sident ; my uncle is a merchant.] One of your
sisters is married to a chemist in Paris ; you were
received as a doctor of medicine in Paris in 1854 ;
you took to homompathy, and from that time you
manifested the intention to get yourself talked about
and showed an ardent desire to make a fortune.
In 1853 you assumed the title of count, which
you had no right to, and which was never borne by
your fathers. [The Prisoner—l have a right to
the title. I left off using it to please my father,
whose modest way of life is not suited to it. But
Hautetive's book shows that the title belongs
to my family.]
The examination was proceeding down to a late
hour.

The France states that the rumour which unac-
countably has prevailed for 48 hours in Paris of
the arrival of Lords Clarendon and Granville is
unfounded.

The debate on the budget was resumed this after-
noon, greatly to the disappo;ntment of crowded
tribunes, by M. Banos, one of the proprietors of
the Mosittur, who made an insignificant speech on
the government side. He was followed, however,
by M. Vuitry, the governor of the Bank, an able
man, who doubtless has made an ingenious answer
to M. Thiers, but no report of what he said is yet
out.

M. Dimly, the Minister of Public Instruction,
has commissioned Dr. Mourier to proceed to Japan
on a scientific mission. It is stated that he is to
send reports not only to the minister but to the
Acclimatisation Society and various learned bodies.
He takes with him an ample provision of !scientific
instruments.

Garibaldi's eldest son, Menotti, who has been for
some days in Paris, leaves to-day for Caprera.
At the Bourse the Rent* opened briskly on the
strength of a rise of in Consols ; but the upward
movement was soon checked by the announcement
that the Bank of France had raised its discount
from 7to 8 per cent. Ultimately Rente for account
fell 5c., closing at 66fr. 50c. Mubilier rose 2fr. 50c.
Great hopes of the armistice were entertained at
the Bourse ; but I understand that despatches, not
yet published, give unfavourable accounts of the
result of the conference to-day.
