cause of the crime was one of those vendette which
are eo common is Corsica. For upwards of forty
years an enmity had subsisted between the families
of Muzi and Vincenti, originating in a member of the
first of these families having seized on and kept a vio„,,,
ship to which a Vincenti had been named. Afterwards,
about-18 years back, a marriage had been projected be.
tween members of the two families, but the heads of the
families could not come to a satisfactory understanding,
each party holding out on some imaginary point of
honour. Furthermore, about three years back, one of
the Vinceutis had a dispute with the Muzi family, rela-
tive to the gathering of a crop of chestnuts, when one of
the Muzi attempted to stab his opponent, but was pre-
vented. Still more recently, on the occasion of the
municipal elections, Grimaldi, one of the prisoners, pro-
ceeded to the residence of the Vincenti, and asked for
their votes in favour of ono of the candidates, who was
supported by the Muzi, Grimaldi declaring on the occa-
sion that he himself absolutely identified himself with
the views and wishes of the Mimi. The Vincenti refused
to give their support, and the other party thendeter- I
mined on immediate revenge. They accordingly hired
Luporsi, a man of desperate character, to commit the
murder on the member of the Vincenti family who was
likely to offer the least resistance, namely, the cure.
The sham which Castelioni (who is brother-in-law to
G
rinsaidi) had is the affair was to have gone to the re-
sidence of the cure, and, under pretence of selling salt,
to have . ,

It was now blowing furiously. and I ecireely dared to
carry sail enough to ket,p the ship up, the b eat was in
peril, and I was obliged to take the hue to the ship again
and run the risk of the irons drawing. I made the end
of the line fast and took in all sail but enough to keep
her steady, and waited in alarm the snake's rising, the
parting of the line, or the irons drawing. At 4 P,:11. the

part of the body, which appeared somewhat distended,
49 feet 4 inches. The head was long
and flat, with
ridges; the bones of the lowerjaw separate ; the tongue
had its end like the head of a heart. The tail ran nearly

ALLEGED MURDER AT DEVTNNOCK.— Thomas
Phillips and Margaret Morgan, charged with having given
a living child to be devoured by a sow, and who were re-
manded till Saturday last, were on that day brought up at
the Shire-hall, Brecon, before a full bench of magistrates.
Some fresh evidence, tending further to criminate the pri-
soners, was given. The examination lasted six hours, and
the interest excited was intense. Mr. Bishop, the county
solicitor, prayed a further remand till Wednesday next, and
applied for summonses for the attendance of several other
witnesses, which were granted. The prisoners will again be
brought up on Wednesday, when there is no doubt, from
the observations which dropped from the magistrate, that
they will be fully committed for trial at the assizes, which
take place next week.
SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING THE AMENDMENT or
Tlis LAW.— An adjourned meeting of the above society was
held on Monday evening, at their Chambers, Regent-street;
Mr. Frederick HilLin the chair. The business of the even-
ing was chiefly of a routine nature, the most prominent
portion of which was the reading, by Mr. Stewart, of a com-
munication from Missouri, as to the operation of the New
various clauses of the York code.
