At the assize court of Vaneluse a farDwr
years of age, named Chalon, has been found :;:n!:y
of poisoning his mother by arsenic. It was
that he had a great dislike to his mother, that di •
was very suspicious of him, and that she ultra
refused to eat soup at his table, which die said
had a bad taste and a queer look. But th,• •rewit•
ing evidence against the prisoner was the •l•pesi.
tion of several medical men that they fowl
great quantities of arsenic in the body ait•l
exhumation. One of the medical witnes.•,.
Dr. Rene, a Professor of the celebrated Faculty
of Montpellier, gave it as his opinion that Orli:,
and Respell were wrong when they said th
arsenic was among the elements of every hunun
body. He denied that it could be found in any
corpse unless it had been administered (lurim;
life. This is a very great question, for the tiani•••
of Orilla and Raspail certainly carry more w,igtr.
than that of Rene. The prisoner Wag f)11:1`i

in the evening at the open-air concert at Vauxhall.
The Bohemian Episcopate have condemned the
laws lately established with respect to marriage and ON-
cation. They have issued a pastoral letter signed by al,
the bishops, with the Prince-Archbishop's name at the
head. The tone of the document is exceedingly hitter.
and it absolutely disapproves of the now legislation.
Italian jurymen object to serving during the
great heat. The Court of Assizes at Turin bad to adjouru
lately for want of a jury, as, out of 40 persons caliml,
32 failed to answer.
Ems and Baden arc both crowded with the
kost-wads, and the season at each of these favourite
watering places is considered to be a most prospemus one.
Baden has just entered on her period of Private "

have been very successful.
Hissengen, according to the Sport, is just now
remarkably gay, and is much patronised by high 0,04'
politica life. The promenades and numerous excersions
are alive with fashionable visitors, and the town wears an
appearance of unusual animation. Short dresses hare
here decidedly carried the day, "much to the satisfaction
of the owners of pretty feet and andel." The reception+
are not very numerous, out-of-door life being the order of
the day.
