DERBYSHIRE ARCHERY MEETING.

Ou Thursday last the members of this Society held
their second meeting for the season at Kedleston. The
morning was as tlright as the days have been for the last
month, and parties began to arrive in rapid succession at
an early hour. On this occasion the targets were removed
`from their former stations in the field in front of the inn,
and were judiciously pitched underneath the fine oaks
1( with which Kedleston Park abounds) on the left of the foot
road, leading to the mineral spring so well known to the
inhabitants of Derbyshire and the neighbouring counties.
If it were possible to select one situation in preference to
another as peculiarly suitable to the sports of the day, and
comprising within its view an assemblage of the most heat.
tiful objects, such was the effect in this instance; for
though a meridian sun shone in all its unclouded lustre,
still the archers were not in any material degree annoyed
by the heat, the sun's rays being obstructed by the foliage
of the immense oaks, the arms of which extending on all
sides, might be s aid almost to form a canopy, under the
shade of which beauty and elegance were seen to glide in
every direction. Old perforated targets, displaying the
prowess of former public days, were suspended from the
trunks of the trees, and marquees were stationed in diffe-
rent situations, adding much to this very imposing scene.
About 12 o'clock shooting for the prises commenced, and
at three the company (consisting of near 200 persons) sat
down to an excellent dinner, provided by Mr. Storer and
his nieces in the pavilion ; which was most tastefully deco.
rated with evergreens and flowers forming various devices.
On the removal of the cloth, the successful candidates
were declared, and in the following order:—
The Hon. Carotins Curson . . Gold Medal.
MIU 1. Mundy . . . Silver ditto.
Mr. W. Holden . . . Gold Medal.
Mt. Mundy, Shipley • . Silver ditto.
At the conclusion of this interesting ceremony, the Lally
Paranpount for the year (Mrs. Hall), and the President
(Sir Roger Gresley), each presented a beautifully en'..
bossed gold pencil case, to be shot for in the evening. The
ladies immediately after dinner withdrew to the shoonn?
ground, which was to be the scene of contention for am:
two prizes ; nor were they long unattended by the gallant
Toitopholites, who quickly joined their fair companions.
The shooting commenced about half-past five, and conti-
nued without intermission until eight o'clock, when ;wise
Bent and Mr. Henry Haden were the successful candi-
dates. The awarding of the above prizes having taken
place, dancing commenced, and was kept up with emisitle•
table animation 'till 'the

" 3lornioes dawn dispell'd the fleeting mists."
We understand the ne=t meeting will take plaice on the
ad of September.—Derby Mercury.
SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF A MURDER IV

FRANCE.

A trial of considerable importance is expected to come
on in the Court of Assiies of Laon in the course of this
month, respecting an assassination whkh took place about
nine years ago, at Tombes, in the Canton of Vennand, on
the persons of one Digagny, the proprietor of the farm of
Tombes, and a beggar, who were both killed on the farm
with knives, and afterwards thrown into a well. An in-
quiry was set on foot at the time, but no clue of the Mur-
derers was obtained. Upwards of eight years had pained
over, and the circumstance was almost forgotten, when
Providence, which never suffers guilt to escape with im-
punity, raised) suspicions in the mind of the King's Pro-
cureur-General. The Procureur of St. Quentin imme-
diately sat an inquiry on foot, and nearly eighty witnesses
were consequently ekamined. Five individuals were con-
victed as aceomplices, viz. Perre Manly, aged So, labourer;
Seraphin Manly, his son, aged 32, cotton-weaver ; Cesar
Trechain, aged 29, labourer ; Pierre Xavier Mends, aged
34, turner in wood ; J. B. Jerome Alerda, his father, aged
68, formerly a weaver, all of Lesehelles. They had all
lift their dwellings ; some were at Paris, others at Charle.-
ville and elsewhere. However, through the exertions of
the police, they Were discovered in leas than forty-eight
hours after. They have all been arrested, and by a decree
of the Court of Atscusation for tbe Court Royal of Amiens,
referred to ?It Assites of the department of the Aisne to be
judged. It appears that Manly, the father, was the insti4
gator of the cnme by means of bribery, and that he and
his son, together with Xavier Merda, were present at tha
fatal moment ; that Jerome :Verde, the father, gave every
information respecting the means of murder, the most ex-
peditions mode of concealing the bodies, &c., and that
Cesar Trochain was the assassin.
