Ormond-street, on the acasion of the festival of St. Eliza-
beth. His eminence took for his text the palings in Pro-
verbs oommonciog with—" Who shall Sod a valiant woman,"
and proceeded to sketch the character of St. Elizabeth,
Queen of Hungary, who lived in the thirteenth century,
and whose life has been written by Count blontalembert,
to whose wcrk the cardinal paid a high compliment. Hie
eminence neat dwelt on the services rendered by the nuns
of the adjoining hospital to the sick poor, and then proceeded
to make some remarks on the meet removal of a lunatic
lady to Belgium. His eminence said that the young woman
did not belong to St. Elizaheth's Hospital, but was only
there for one night, and that an outcry had been made un-
justly, because a form (omitted in many protestant cease
every year) had been omitted in this case. The medical
gentlemen of the hospital bad been undeaervedly censured.
The cardinal added that, although the madness of the lady
bad been dearly proved to the Belgian authorities, be would
advise no opposition to any person who desired to prosecute
further itmeetigation, but if the lunatic bad to be brought
to England the new journey and excitement wouldgreatly, in-

Assize of the Seine recently tried a man named Gautier, •
bookbinder, aged 25, on a charge of having, on the 12th of
September last, murdered his wife by strangulation. The
ease presents the most revolting cirenniatatiore. It appears
from the evidence that the prisoner was married in October,
1862, to a young woman of good character and industrious
habits. The match was a most unhappy one, for the
prisoner, besides being a man of violent temper, was ad-
dicted to drinking and gambling, arid soon began to treat
the poor woman with great brutality, beating bet every
day without the least provocation, and conically I:Josia-

became pregnant he continued to ill-treat her as

still-born child at the residence of her parents, whither ehe
went for her accouchement, rather than enter an hospital.as
the prisoner wished her to do. On recovering she returned
to her hushand, to undergo the lame mune of ill-treatment;
but in July last, being again in the family way, and fearful
that he would realise his threat of murdering her, she left
