PARIS, MONDAY MIINNINO.

A despatch from Algiers brings an afflicting piece
of news for the French army. Captain l)oinean, of
the Zouaves, has been sentenced to death by the
assize court of Oran, for the murder of a native
chief named Ben Abd•llali who was killed -And
robbed on the highway, on September 12, l&)6, by
a large party of Arabs, who, as it is now found by
the verdict, were instigated to commit the crime by
the captain. I have not hitherto spoken to you of
this trial on account of the extreme length of the
proceedings, for any report of which it would have
been impossible to have found room in your columns
while parliament was sitting. The court was occu-
pied with the case for many consecutive days, and for
the lest fortnight the columns of the Gazette des Tri-
britaux and other legal journals of Paris have been
crowded with verbatim reports of the progress of
the trial made by short hand writers, sent expressly
from Paris. M. Nogent St. Laurent, of the Paris
bar, wtnt to Oran with a special retainer to defend
Captain Doineau, having been selected for that
duty by M. Baroche, the President of the Council of
State, who, as it appears from M. N. St. Laurent's
speech, is a relation of the unhappy prisoner. M.
Jules Fevre went over special to defend the princi-
pal confederates, who are Arab chiefs of • high
class. The $ iew which he took of his duty led him
to make a terrible speech against Captain Doinesu,
for he could not deny that the Arabs had taken Ben
Abdallah's life, but he contended that they were
absolved, becamee they acted under the orders of a
French officer, whom they were justified in regarding
as being invested by usage (if not by law) with des-
potic power. The disclosures made on the trial are
very extraordinary, and will probably lead to exten-
sive reforms in the administration of Algeria. Cap-
tain Doineau is a young and brilliant officer of good
family, and a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour.
He has great personal beauty and physical strength ;
his manners are elegant and dignified, and all the
generals under whom he has served speak of him in
terms of no ordinary commendation. lie was some
years ago appointed chief of what is called
a "bureau Arab," at the extreme frontier of
the Algerian territory, near Morocco. There,
it appears, that he has been regarded by
the natives as the highest impersonation of abso-
lute power which their minds can conceive. The
Arabs who committed the murder (some of them at
least) confess the fact, but say they did it, and were
made to swear to do it, by order of their "sultan "
(Captain Doineau). The supposed motives for the
commission of the crime by Doineau are—first, re-
venge and jealousy; and second, plunder. It is
said that Ben Abdallah had great influence with
General Montauban, Doineans commander, and that
the latter feared he might be superseded. A circum-
stance that told immensely against Doineau was that,
when he was arrested, • sum of 38,000 k. was
found in his possession; and in his examination
he obstinately and haughtily refused to give any
explanation of that fact. M. Nogent St. Laurent,
however, in his speech for the defence, alleged that
this sum was given to him by his mother-in-law
seven years ago, and the reason why he did not
choose to state the truth was because he did not
wish it to be known that she had given him a
preference over his brother. M. Jules Fevre
ridiculed this excuse, of which there was no proof,
and besides observing that an honourable officer
suspected of having come by money dishonestly
would volunteer every possible explanation, ridiculed
the idea that a captain of Zoaaves would drag
about with him, for seven years, a sum, which it
put out to interest, would have produced an
income of 1,600 francs a year. Although M. Jules
Favrt's speech, which is described as eloquent in an
extraordinary degree, produced • capital sentence
against Captain lhaineau, be did not succeed in absolv-
ing the accomplices, from responsibility. They are all,
but five (and they are eighteen in number), found
guilty, but with attenuating circumstances, and are
sentenced to terms of imprisonment, with hard la-
bour, varying from five to twenty years. Among
them is the Aga Mohammed-Bel-Hadj, a man hi-
therto much ferreted, and an &Hoer of the Legion
of Honour. He is sentenced to twenty years' hard
labour. His sous are coming to France with M.
Jules Fevre, to solicit the Emperor's clemency on his
behalf.

I was present to-day at the inauguration of the
" Asile Imperial de Vincennes," • hospital founded
by a decree of March 0, 1855, for sonvaleacent work-
ing men, and forming a counterpart to the establish-
ment of Vesinet, which was created for the recep-
tion of workmen injured by the inevitable accidents
which occur in the construction of buildings. The
new hospital built by M. Laval is situated on the
eastern extremity of the woods of Vincennes and
St. Maude, near the village of Charenton,
on a remarkably healthy and picturesque site.
It makes up 500 beds, and they are at this moment
all ready. 1 went over the rooms, and do not re-
member to have seen anything so comfortable.
They are lofty, well lighted and ventilated, and
nicely furnished. The rooms are generally 21 feet
by 13, and in each of these there are only three beds.
The cost of the building is said to be 1,351,000 fr., a
sum which for so magnificent an addition to the
charitable establishments of Paris does not appear
large.

Notwithstanding the report of a rise of per cent.
in Consols to-day the Bourse has been heavy. The
Rents fell 3c. for cash and 10c. for account, closing
at 66fr. 93e., and Garr. 83c. Credit Mobilier was
seriously affected (it fell upwards of 20fr.) by the
judgment of the Tribunal of Commerce pro-
nounced this day, which declares M. Au-
guste Thurneyuen responsible (solidairte) in
the bankruptcy of his nephew, M. Charles
Thurneyssen, whose failure for same sixteen
millions of francs astounded the financial world
some few months since. M.A. Thurneyeames re-
signation of his seat in the direction of the Credit
Mobilier is considered inevitable, and some people
think that an attempt may eventually be made to
make the Credit Mobilier Company itself liable to
answer the summed large deficiency of the assets of
the Tharneyseenv. There was very little change in
railways. Southern and Western were rather lower.
Ferukh Khan's maitre d'hotel, a fine-looking
man of thirty-five, fell down dead in a fit of apo-
plexy at the l're Catelan on Saturday evening. He
played a game at billiards but a few momenta before
his death.
