ARCHES' COURT-FRIDAY.

WRIGHT V. WRIGHT.
This was a suit for divorce on the grounds of cruelty and
adultery, brought by letters of request from the Vicar-Ge-
neral of the diocese of Lincoln, promoted by Mrs. Wright,
of Great Marlow, in the county of Bucks, against her hus-
band, Mr. Joseph Wright.
Sir H. JENNEIL said it was impossible to read the evi-
dence in the case, and not be convinced that cruelty had
been sufficiently proved to entitle Mrs. Wright to the re-
medy which she prayed for. The charge of adultery was
clearly not proved ; but upon the other ground alone he felt
no hesitation in pronouncing for the divorce, and, still
further, in condemning the husband in costs.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.

UNION-HALL.

Yesterday a man named Ward was brought before Mr.
TItAILL, charged with committing a rape on Anne Kilfoy,
a young woman 20 years of age. The complainant lived
with her brother and sister, and bad known the prisoner,
who was paying his addresses to her, for the last 12 months;
but in consequence of her brother disapproving of' the pri-
soner, she had broken off the acquaintance with him. On
Monday, the 14th ult. she went down the Kent-road along
with a little girl, her niece, to meet her brother and sister,
who were gone on to the fair. At the Green Man, where
she expected to meet them, she saw the prisoner, but
avoided him, and returned home with, her relatives. The
same night, however, her brother and sister went from home
again, leaving her in the care of the house and the children,
and between eleven and twelve o'clock she went to the street
door, for the purpose of seeing whether they were coming
home. When she opened the door she saw the prisoner
on the opposite side of the way, and he crossed over, and
desired her to walk in, and she said that he must not
enter the house—that she expected her brother and sister in
every minute, and that if they came home and found him
there they would kill her. The prisoner then pushed her
into the passage, and she ran into the front. room, upon
which he followed her and pulled her out by the hand into
the passage, tripped up her heels, and she fell down on the
floor. When she was down he knelt noon her chest, and
put his hand over her mouth and placed his foot upon one
of her hands ; she resisted and called out, but she was not
able to call loud, and in the struggle with him she almost
lost her breath and the power of her limbs. The prisoner
then grasped both her hands, and held them tightly down,
and proceeded to effect his purpose. The complainant
here detailed the particulars of the prisoner's attack upon
her, by which it appeared that the capital offence was com-
mitted. She fainted and became quite insensible, and when
she recovered in some degree from the effects of the vio-
lence she sustained, she found herself lying on same chairs
in the front-room, the prisoner was gone, but her sister was
sitting by her side.
Mr. Jones, a dresser in Guy'a Hospital, stated that the
complainant was brought there on Thursday in an appa-
rently senseless state ; he could not get her to utter a
word ; it might have been wholly or partially assumed.
Upon being made acquainted that a rape had been com-
mitted on her person on the preceding Monday, he insti-
tuted an examination, by which it appeared that there were
no marks of violence to lead to the supposition that such
an offence had been committed.
The prisoner asserted his innocence of the offence.
The Magistrates committed the prisoner for trial on the
capital charge, but they accepted sufficient bail for his ap-
pearance to answer the charge under the late Act, which
empowers Justices to accept bail where doubts arise of a
prisoner's guilt.

It appears that the Paisley Bell case has already
entailed on the municipality law expenses amounting to 931.
SCOTCH SoNGs.—No man who has lived among
the peasantry of Scotland will deny the effects produced on
them by their popular songs. During the expedition to Buenos
Ayres, a Highland soldier, while a prisoner in the hands of
the Spaniards, having formed an attachment to a woman of
the country, and charmed by the easy life which the tropical
fertility of the soil enabled the inhabitants to lead, had re-
rolved to remain and settle in South America. When he im-
parted this resolution to his comrade, the latter did not argu,
with him ; but leading him to his tent, he placed him by hi
side, and sung him
" Lochaber no more." The spell was on
him. The tears came into his eyes, and wrapping his plaid
around him, he murmured, " Lochaber nae mair maua
gang back—Na The songs of his childhood Were ring"
in in his cars, and he left that land of case and plenty
'naked rocks and sterile valleys of Badenoch, thef
. clos7_,
of a life of toil and hardship, be might lay his 1!‘,75t1 in Ilogm_
ther's grave.—Moryitly Repository.

•
A young couple who had made up their minds to be
smoked, refuse to be burnt Put of the world. A tragical
occurrence took place in one of the quartiers of Paris, On
Wednesday last, about three o'clock in the afternoon, cries
of " Fire !" were heard in the Rue Poiponniere, and flames
were seen to issue from the fourth story of a house in the
street. The firemen speedily arrived, and the doors being
closed, they were obliged to force them with their axes. A
horrible spectacle presented itself. At the foot of a bed,
the curtains, counterpane, and mattrass of which
.were on
fire, and in the midst of an atmosphere strongly jmpreg
nated with charcoal, lay the figure of a young student or
medicine, his face and body half burnt, still struggling vith
death, and uttering frightful cries. It was impossible to gathar
from the incoherent expressions which he used what was the'
cause of this frightful scene, but a sudden noise in an adjoin-
ing chamber gave tokens of another sufferer. On entering the
next room, a young woman was found stretched on the floor
with her left hand burnt, and apparently at the last gasp.
After much time bestowed in assisting these unfortunate orea-:
tures, who became able at length to utter some connected
phrases, and inquiries made on the spot, it appeared that the
young man, a student of medicine, named Andre Vichard, 25.
years of age, had supped with the girl, whose name was
Malvina Lebel, a milliner from Marseilles, and had afterwards
agreed with her to commit suicide. After desiring the per-
son Who attended upon them to return early on the follow-
ing day, and closing the room to the entire exclusion of the
exterior air, they lit a large vessel of charcoal, placed it at
the foot of the bed, and embracing each other closely, in
that position awaited the approach of death. Some hours
elapsed, and suffocation appeared imminent, when part of
bed-curtails, wafted too closely to the charcoal, suddenly
crught fire, which spread with extraordinary rapidity. En-
veloped in the flames, Vichard threw himself from the bed
and fell upon the brasier, to which he remained, as it were,
nailed. Malvina also escaped from the bed, and by a vio-
lent effort reached the dressing-room, where she fell with-
out sense until the admission of the exterior air recalled her
to life. Vichard requested, as well as he was able, tha
they should be conveyed to the Hospital of La Pitie, where
he had previously studied, and his wishes were complied
with. But notwithstanding all the attention of medical
skill, he only survived for a short time, and expired, ex-
claiming that he was weary of life, and happy to leave it.
Hopes were entertained of saving the life of Malvina Le-
bel. Vichard and his mistress were much attached to some
young canary birds, of which they took particular care ;
and before they made the fatal attempt on their own lives,
they took the precaution of carrying them into an adjoin-
ing room, where they were found alive, while their master
and mistress still struggled in the arms of death.—Le National.
