THE MURDER OF COUNTESS LAFORCE.

At the court of assize of the Seine on Tuesday, Bau-
mann, the servant who killed his mistress, the Countess
Caumont Laforce, in the conrt yard of her house in the
Champ Elysees, was tried for the murder. M. Oscar de
Valee, advocate general, appeared for the prosecution.
The prisoner was defended by M. Nibelle, an ea judge,
who resigned his judicial functions in 1830. The court
was crowded with spectators--principally ladies. The
murdered lady was connected with many of the great
families of the Faubourg St. Germain, and the audience
was to a great extent composed of her relations,
friends or acquaintances. Nothing remarkable, beyond
the original report of the catastrophe, was elicited at
the trial. The sum and substance of the case is nothing
more than this, that the countess was an eccentric person.
who was in the habit of scolding her servants, and that
Baumann, losing his temper, turned upon her and took
her life. He said in answer to interrogatories that he
did not mean to kill her; hut there was some evidence
that, finding her nearly dead, he had said he felt that he
was committed, and had deliberately finished her. No-
thing transpired to confirm a story, that this Bau-
mann was the same man who had formerly made
a murderous attack upon a German countess at Munich.
Among the witnesses called was the widow of Marshal
Gerard, who deposed that although the deceased liked
to be well served and was rather severe with servants,
she was in the main kind to them, and frequently gave
them presents. Baumann has been sentenced to hard
labour for life, from which the necessary inference is
that he has been found guilty, " with extenuating
circumstances ;" otherwise the sentence must have been
death.

MANUFACTURE OF GAS —The prospectus is issued of a
new undertaking, under the title of Hansor's Olefiant Gas
Company, with a capital of £50,000, in £lO shares. The
object proposed is the introduction into general use of an
" entirely new" patented method for the production of illu-
minating gas from oleaginous substances. It is contended
that the new process involves a very considerable saving in
material, fuel, and time, and that the first expense of the
apparatus is also greatly reduced, as compared with that
required for the old method. The promoters state that it is
not,intended to compete with coal gas companies, low rather
to supply count!), churches, private houses, railway stations,
and manufacturing establishments, where, from the distance
of coal gas works, or from objection to its impurities, ordi-
nary coal gas is not likely to be introduced. The deposit is
to be £2 lOs per share. The company is instituted under
the limited liability act,
