Mr. Pool, of Nencothan, has been in the habit of clearing
eat his mills on Saturdays, laying poison for rats, and
clearing away the poison on 1%! indays. Mr. P nrose's
wheat was the first to be ground on Monday week, and as
the top of his sack was afterwards st-ougly impregnated
with arsenic, while the bottom was very slightly so, it is
presumed that arsenic was left in the hcppe e The man (a
new band) who was told to clean the mill on Meuday

TUaNING THE FABLES.—At the Southwark Police-court,
on Thursday, Thomas Dolman, the keeper of the Surrey
Arms beer-bonee, opposite the Surrey Theatre. was
brought before Mr. Combs, charge! wi h assaulting D .vid
Griffith, under the following einguler eireurnstaiicee :
The comp:ainant stated that on the previous evening he
was passing along the B'ackiriars-road, when by some
accident he pushed agiinst a fern ee. As soon as be had
done so the prisener came up to him and struck him two
or three times on the cos-, making it bleed profusely.
The defendant, a respectable-looking man, said that the
complaibaiit deserved all he got, and he might think
himself lucky. The facts were these (defenclent)
was walking home with his wife and another female, and
when in the Blackfriars-road the complainant went up to
his wife and rudely assaulted her. Defendant went up to
him and told him to go away, when the fellow took hold
of his wife's shawl Defendant struck him, and con-
sidered he was right in doing so. Mary Ilinnby, the wife
of a respectable tradesman, said she was with Mr. anti Mrs.
Dodmae, when the comptain int ruddy assaulted the latter.
Had she been a man she would have given him a sound
thrashing. The megistrat oece discharged Mr.
Dodman, and ordered Griffith to take his place in the
deck ; when Harriet Dedin in stated that about eleven
on the previous .night she was walking a little distance
from her husband with Mrs. Ramey, in the Blickfriars-
road, when the prisoner came up and accosted her in a
very rude manner. She (dined out to her Ini4binil, when
the prisoner struck her ant purled her shawl off. Her
hasband then came up to her protection and gave the
prisoner a sound thrashing, as no constable was then at
hand. Be came up afterwards, and because blood was
flowing from the prisoner's n use, her hudiend w.a taken
into custody. Mr. Ceinbe said the prisoner Griffith had
committed a very unmanly asseuli, on the female, therefere
he should commit him for one rn inth with li and labour.
ATTEMPT To MURDER. A GAoLER.—At the Marlborough-
street Police-court, London, on fhureday, James Burke,
who described himself as recently from 'Tipperary, was
charged with the following daring robbery :—Edward

with having attempted to murder the gaoler of this court.
Gsoree Welch, the gaoler, stated that when he went to
the look- ip Cell to fetch the prisoner for the purpose of
placing hen at the bar, the prisoner suede sly seized him
by the neckerchief, twisted his hand round, and
while strangling him beat him with his other fist about
the head and face. The attack was so sudden and trier-
peeled, and complainant was so hampered by the appre-
nt

take advantage of the. attack to make their escape, that,

This officer obtained a cer sin notoriety by his

particularly during the late attempt made by them
to escape. Among other facts it is mentioned that
he clused the head of a political prisoner, named
Roselli, brother of General Roselli, to he shave 1.

because he reminded the captain that he was wide:

the Castle of Pagliano, caused a painful sensation ii
Rome. The unfortunate man had many friends, and
was greatly regretted. He was driven to commit the

Christian country their discharge would be con-

WAR'S, THURSDAY EVENING
The Republican party, it appears, has decided
on putting forth a certain number of candidates at
the approaching election in Paris. These candi-
dates belong to what used to be called the Blues,
or moderate Republicans, and are General Cavaig-
nac, MM. Havin, Gotalchaux, Marie, Bethemont,
Lasteyrie, Carnot, Gervais, (ie Caen), and Gamier
Pages, several of whom were members of the
Provisional Government in 1818. M. Gamier Pages
will also be proposed at -Valenciennes, and Douay
M Jules Favre and Dr. Henin at Lyons ; and M.
Maillard, who, I believe, was formerly secretary to
M. Ledru Rollin, in the department of the Correge.
It is not said whether all or any will, in case of
election, take the oath of allegiance to the Em-
peror.
It will be curious to observe the effect produced
on the Parisian population when such flames are
put before it after so long a period of repose. Of
the success of the movement it would he hazardous
to say anything, as the government will probably
do their best to keep the doors of the Legislative
Chamber shut in the face of men like Cavaignae.
Carnot, and Lasteyrie.. As yet, no animation,
no interest in the elections is visible,
and unless such a stimulus as this prevail the
apathy promises to remain the same to the
end. Where there is no uncertainty as to
the result, people do not think it worth
while to break the tranquility of their every-day
existence. Under any circumstances, I doubt
whether there will be more than a score of new
members in the next Chamber. Five or six may
be promoted to other posts ; placed in the half way
stage of the Council of State, or flung up into the
Paradiso of the Senate. As many more may be
prevented by business or ill-health from returning
to the Chamber. About the same number of in cape-
bles—men useless to Emperor or country—regular
4' chips in porridge"—of whom even the Emperor
himself is tired, may be flung aside. A few may
get in on the " Opposition interest" without any
positive interference on the part of the authorities.
I should be surprised if the changes were more,
but it is not improbable that more opposition will
be manifested in the next Chamber than in the
present : I believe, that there are several Govern.
ment measures which it would not vote were it not
on the eve of dissolution.
While the French journals do not criticise, but
with fear and trembling, the acts of the home
government, they take great liberty in discussing
the merits, or demerits, of the Moldo-Wallachian
administration, and in denouncing the conduct of
the opponents of the Union ; and while the
Ministerial press is recommended to observe abso-
lute silence on the French elections, now so near at
hand, and on the acts of the authorities, it may
expend any amount of indignation against the
Moldavian agents, who, supposing all to be
true which is alleged of them, do no more
than imitate, imperfectly, the example set
them by the Imperial Government of France.
The columns of these journals hive been for
some time past filled with communications from
Jassy and Constantinople, condemning the arbi-
trary conduct of the Kaimakan of Moldavia, The
Moniteur itself, which only two days ago inflicted
chastisement on the Journal das Chimins de Fer
for a criticism on certain financial measures of the
government, has the hardihood to forget its
official gravity, and to descend, like any vulgar
organ of the public, into the arena of polities.
Utterly regardless of what passes before its own
eyes, it thunders against Prince Vogorides,
the Kaimakan of Moldavia, as if he were
the greatest criminal on earth. The crime
of Vogorides consists in his being the partisan
of the separation of the Principalities. In
these views he may be right or wrong, but at
least he is entitled to his opinion quite as much as
M. de Talleyrand, the French Commissioner, is
justified in his opposition. M- Vogorides has, at all
events, the merit of acting frankly and openly,
and the same energy which the agents of power in
France are employing to secure a chamber that
shall be like the present he exhibits in his peculiar
vocation. If he has" committed illegality, of which
there is only French evidence, the organ of the
Imperial Government should be the very last
to reproach him, for the, Kaimakan believes
that in resisting the Union and directing
elections he takes as his model the Emperor
of the French. Like him, he represses the "revo-
lutionary spirit." It is rather curious that the
French Government, which at home energetically
and so successfully opposes every manifestation
of public spirit, or politidal agitation in every
corner of the French empire, and so vigorously
removes every pretext for disturbing public tran-
quility, makes common cause with the agitator of
Jassy, and attacks, through its representative at
Constantinople, a functionary who can be only
reproached by his superiors with exhibiting a
little too much zeal in defending the interests of
the Sublime Porte. On this subject a pamphlet
has been published by a gentleman named
Doze, under the title of Mr Mois en Mol-
davie. M. Doze, it appears, has just returned
from Jassy and Galatz, where he was enabled,
during his visit, to see matters with his own eyes.
He declares that the acts of the Kaimakan have
been singularly misrepresented or exaggerated by
the partisans of the Union, and that this func-
tionary has only acted, and with moderation
and intelligence; in conformity with the instruc-
tions of the Sultan. He describes the Kaimakan
of Moldavia as a person of good fortune,
to whom his present position is no otherwise
an object to him than as affording him an,
opportunity of carrying out his policy as a separat-
ist. His great fault, according to the writer, con-
sists in strenuously resisting those who he thinks
are only consulting their own personal interest in
trying to bring about the union of the provinces.
The pamphlet of M. Doze is neither uninteresting
nor uninstructive, and it presents very fair argu-
ments against the theory of the union.
It is reported that a telegraphic despatch has
been received from Constantinople, announcing
that, as the Port has not dismited Prince Vogorides
from his post of Kaimakan of Moldavia, as de-
manded by M. de Thouvenel, the French, Russian,
Prussian, and Sardinian Commissioners have
signified to the Government that they will quit the
Principalities unless the demand of the French ---

An account has to day been given me of the «ay
in which Cuint Radetsky broke his leg. Countess
Wallmoden called to take leave of the Marshal, and
when she was about to quit the room he rose from
his chair, and insisted on accompanying her to the
door. The Countess strongly protested against
his doing so, and having forced him to resume his
seat, she hurried out of the room. It is supposed
that the old gentleman's politeness induced him to
rise again as soon as the Countess's back was
turned, for before she was out of the anteroom she
and the servant in attendance heard a heavy fall
On returning she found the poor old man lying on

opinion in medical circles is that no attempt has

yesterday a deputation from the Agricultural
Society, with Prince Sehwarzenburg as its
spokesman, waited on the Minister of the Interior,
and requested him to give his support to an
address which it was proposed to present to
his
.Majesty the Emperor, praying him to
appoint. a Minister for agricultural matters. Tile
subject was a delicate one to touch on, as the
Ministry for Agriculture and Mining was abolished
four or five years ago, and the agricultural depart-
ment placed under the direction of the Minister of
the Interior. The petition of the society that a
separate ministry may again be formed, is natu-
rally au indirect censure of the way in which agri-
cultural matters are now managed. The Minister
was, however, extremely complaisant, and promised
warmly to recommend the address to the Emperor.
His Majesty has agreed to the enlargement of the
inner city in principle, and Baron von Bach has re-
ceived orders to take the matter into immediate
consideration. The first regular consultation on the
subject was held at the Ministry of the Interior
yesterday. It affords me pleasure to be able to state
that the huge barracks on the ramparts facing the
Leopoldstadt are as displeasing to the eyes of the
Emperor as to those of every one else. Nevcr
was a greater architectural blunder committed
than the erection of such an edifice on such a
spot. The picturesque appearance of a part 01
the ancient city is destroyed, the handsome
Francis Joseph's Gate has been made to look like
a stone mousetrap, and the communication between
the city and the Custom-house by means of a wide
straight street has been rendered impossible " If,"
said his Majesty some time ago, " I could have
foreseen that the barratks would so disfigure the
city, they should have been built elsewhere "
A letter from Rome, in the Cologne Gazette,
announces that the poor classes of the Eferual
City have received a practical illustration of the fat.
libility of human calculations. Shortly before the
arrivel of the Empress Dowager of Russia; the
Mont de Piete of Rome transacted an enormous
amoutit of business, as the poor inhabitants
thronged to that establishment and pawned their
clothes and other petty artieles, with the idea that
they would be all redeemed by the Empress. Their
expectations have not been realised, int the hm-
. press replied favourably to 600 petitions for
, assistance addressed to her.
