PARIS, TUZIDAY ETIMUG.

The Tempi announces as latest news :

We learn from • good souros that the recognition of the
kingdom of Italy by France anky be considered as certain
and imminent.

lam afraid that the Temps is too hasty. What
I hear in official circles is that negotiations are
going on, but that nothing is settled. Count
Areas, who was falsely reported to have come to
Paris, has not left Turin.

The Bourse was firm to-day. The Rente rose
lbc. for cash and 10c. for account, closing at 67fr.
75c. in each case. Mobilier rose 3fr. 75c. The
only alteration in railways was a rise of 2fr. 50c. in
Orleans.

M. Mires, pursuant to the request be made the
other day when at the bar of the oourt, was yester-
day brought in custody to his counting-house in
the Rue Richelieu, and permitted for several hours
to examine his books and confer with his clerks.

A duel has just been fought at Nice between the
editors of two journals of the place, M. Maxon,
of the Messoger, and Chevalier Arson, of the
Gazette. The latter received a sword wound in
the thigh.
A recent trial for murder, at the Assize Court of
the Maine and Loire, brought to light a fine trait
of magnanimity, the hero of which was in the
humble position of a rustic labourer. A young
married woman of 25, named Rousseau, having
indulged in an intrigue with a neighbour, one
Besase, the guilty pair became so infatuated as to
compass and imagine the husband's death, in order
that they might be married and live together. The
wife, with the connivance of her lover, put some
phosphorus into Rousseau's coffee; he, after
drinking enough, as it turned out, to kill him,
complained of the bad taste, and the wife then
losing her nerve confessed her crime, saying at the
same time, " I have been very foolish—perhaps
something will be done to me." "Calm yourself,"
said Rousseau ; "you need not be afraid, I will tell
nobody." Neither horrible sufferings nor the
pressing questions of the physicians who were
called in could extract a word from the dying
man as to the cause of his death. He did his ut-
most to carry the secret with him to the grave ; but
a post modem examination revealed the fact that
he had been poisoned, and the wife, on being
arrested, at once confessed the above particulars.
She and her paramour, getting from an indulgent
jury the benefit of " exteuuating circumstanoes,"
were sentenced to imprisonment witk hard labour
for life.
