CRIMES IN FRANCE.

The criminal Parnroine, who was under accusation for
the tnurfler of the two infanta, in the wood of Vincennes,
has committal a fresh outrage on humanity.
The recent offence of which I'apayoire has been found guilty. hu
been reported in various ways. The following are the details
!eved on the spot t—Papayitine having introduced himself iro s
room admitting his own, and staring earnestly for mane time at a vo:ini
man about 19 years of age, but who, from the freshness and
hairy of hi*complex ion, appears no more than 13 or 11, suddo..t
darted upon him, and wounded hint under his left ear with a Enna.

penetrating far ; he struck him • second :ime across the writ.
gave him three additional wounits in the stomach, which arc r.c
very severe, owing to a woollen waistcoat which the yew g wan
wore. Paparnine having been disarmed, was conducted ir.o a
chamber, where a Magistrate (.Inge d'fastern-time) immanacit

that he was not to be prevented from amusing himself during hn
imprisonment too wearisome for the impetuosity of his chatarrt.

An evening paper speaks of a frightful crime of which the le.-
lowing arc the particulars :
A functionary, who had been appointed guardian m a yowl rr,
son, had acted in a very unfaithful manner, and with a rt.• et
concealing his conduct, he had proposed a marriage hetwcen

merit that she had towards a young man in the lit 1..:111)01111:0
The guardian was the more concerned at this oppionion„ as

Caine age as his ward, in the country with her. On a suddo: he

As the young lady was retiring to bed, she heard a noise

This story has been current in Paris for the last 15 days. Some
make the neighbourhood of Poictier• the theatre of it; but the
jcumal front which we have extracted these di-tills, sail that it
took place in the enviroas of Paris. We by no means vouch tot its
autheuticity.—Coarrier Fear/cuts.

New 11 eCH•NIC AI. l'ow Ea.—The Editor of the Or-
mist expresses his belief that a new mechanical power may
be generated by decomposing water by galvanic electricity.
and afterwards recomposing the resulting gases either 1;l-
-flame er by the electric spark, and thus forming a vacuum.
The mode of operation of this power would be very similar
to that of Mr. Brown's pneumatic engine, in which the
source of the power is the burning of -hydrogen; but die
vacuum produced by' Brown's engitic is not perfect. as it is
difficult to get rid of the niiro,zen of the atmospheric sir.
The Editor of the Clienti,i thinks that by a voltaic battery
m the decomposition and recoposition of water might
carried as indefinitely, and a great power be this produeed
by very slender means. lle promises further tleYclol'''
moats, antiinvites suggestions and inquiries.
