The Journal des Debats gives the following par-
ticulars of a dreadful affair which has caused a most
painful degree of excitement in Paris :
" Friday evening, towards nine o'clock the quarter of
the Madeline was thrown into consternation by the re-
ve/ation of a crime which had just been- committed,
and which had occasioned the most rajah:ll impression.
Mr. Bower, aged 38 years, native of England, and cor-
respondent of the Morning Advertiser Allived with his
viile and his children Ree-ea Sesa, No. 2. Some months
ago one of his countrymen, Me- Morton, aged about 35
years, correspondent 'of the Daily News, and who lived
in the neighbourhood of the Boulevard des Capncines,
.lake. 22, became intimate with him, and paid him
rreqtlent visits. His assiduities having some time after.:
wards excited some suspicions of jealousy in the mind.of
Mr. Beier, the latter prohibited him from visiting the
house. But a reconciliation took place, and the inti-
macy was renewed. Unfortunately, a particular (Arcane. '
stenos halTeund to revive his suspicion. Mr. Bower's
Vie; already the mother of four children, was con-
fined about a month ago, and soon after became de-
lirious!. On Friday evening, in an excess of delirium,
she tread to her husband she would not see
him any more ; that he was the devil; that she did
not love him, and had never loved him; and she
added that the infant was not his, but Mr. Morton's.
This' strangq revelation produced a terrible effect
on the mind of Bower. However, he repressed his emo-
tion, and towards eight o'clock sat down 'to table. He
had hardly began dinner when Morton ebt.red. At
sight-of ilea he burst into, fury, ordering Morton to
quit.. TO latter not leaning quick enough, he rose from
table with his knife in his heed, and pursued him one
flight dowa stairs, when, after an exchange of a few
words, ho dealt him a downed stab on the left
aide of the head, under the ear, which killed him
instantaneously. The knife has been found. It is a
dinner-knife, -round at the end, the blade of which is
bent in the middle by the fetes of the blow. The
commiseaire of, police, with his agents, repaired at
once to the' spot, •and searched the horse from the roof
to the cellars,-while the saprurs pompiers examined the
roof's of the neighbeurtne- houses • without effect. The
agents luteieg heard that Mr. Bower had his four chil-
dren in a lodging at St. Cloud, repaired there; but as he
did not appear, the. telegraph was immediately set in
motion in all directions. His cook having avowed that
she hid favoured his escape, has been put provisionally
under arrest. All efforta to find him have as yet proved
vain. Mrs. Bower has been removed to the niaison de
sante pt. Dr. Blanche, at Paisy."

it way be proper to add, says the correspondent of
the Morning Herald, that the ravings of poor Mrs.
Bower, whose madness was so violent as, in the
opinion of her doctor, to warrant a straight waistcoat,
are not considered to be conclusive proof—if indeed
proof at all—of criminality on her part. There is a
story current tart in one of her fits she laid violent
hands on Morton, who happened to be present watch-
ing her with the greatest anxiety. The truth is that
deep commiseration is felt for all parties. Mrs. B.
has quite recovered her confinement, and was up and
well when, either from having caught cold or some
other cause, she was seized with fever.
The children had been removed to St. Cloud,
owing to the mother's sensibility to noise. There is
reason to believe that, up to the moment of the un-
fortunate language of the wife, , under the circum-
stances described, no suspicion whatever had been en-
tertained by the husband, and the old quarrel alluded
to by the Debats was not, according to other ru-
mours,founded on jealousy.
M. Jourdan, of the Siecle, announces that he has
appealed to a higher tribunal from the harsh sen-
tence pronounced against him and the director of
the paper. M. Jourdan, although not allowed to
state, much less discuss, the charge tried by the
court, yet affirms the perfect honour end mode-
=Lion of his conduct. He only complains that an
exception should have been made in his case, no
" warning" having been given according to the new
mode of dealing, but a prosecution at once instituted.
This was the more extraordinary considering that
while even the Constitutionnel has, been twice
" warned," and is liable to suppression, and the Pays
over-warned, the Siicie never incurred any sign of
blame. The Court, too, refused to adjourn the case
for a week to allow his counsel time to return to town,
so that only the evening before was his case com-
mitted for the first time to a strange counsel.
