(From She Moniteur of Sunday, Aug. o.]
The official part contains a very long report
made to the King by M. tie Corbiere, Minister of
the Interior, on Ow state of the canals and
other works undertaken hy virtue of the laws of
`,loth June and sth August, 182.1, the 17th
April and 14th August, ltit2.
This report (says the Etoile) demonstrates
that, notwithstanding the obstacles raised by va-
rious speculators who endeavoured to paralyze
'theeffurts of competition, the Administration has
attained important advantages in the course of
the last season, and has prepared the means of
obtaining still greater in that which is now be-
ginning.
The greatest activity prevails every where ;
the season favourable for carrying on the works
'is turned to the best account, and the monthly
accounts received by the Director-General of
the Public Works, whose economy cannot be too
-much praised, announce that in the month of
April only the expenses amounted to nearly
1,460,000 francs.
in the Mirth, South, East, and West, and in
the centre of the kingdom, thousands of hands
ery zealously labouring to complete. these great
works, which present so happy an application of
'public credit to enterprises generally interesting,
and which will be durable monuments of the
foresight of the King, and of his solicitude for
the welfare of future generations.

( From the-
Constitutionnel.)
The Veridipe, a Journal published at Montpelier, contains
• Circular addressed by the Procureur-General to the Juges de
Pais and other officers, complaining that impious andlicen-
tious works are circulated by being sold in lots, and requiring
them at all sales to put aside impious or immoral books, or
books already condemned. On this Circular, the Constitu.
tionnel remarks, it Ores a wide field to the discretion of the
taut's, and they may, perhaps, put aside the nouvelle Heloile,
she works of Muliere, and even some of the Novels of Madame
do Geniis. if the officer is a partizan of the Archbishop of
Toulouse, he may condemn liousset, and not allow Pascal to
be read. As to the Philosophers they will no doubt all be pro-
scribed ; but some of the officers may include under this title
Fenelon, ISlassillon, and Boileau, whose works arc already enr-
iched. The Procurfur-Gencral is recommended, therefore, to
an index to hix circular.

Ano. s.—An important trial is to take
Owe in the course of this month before the
Court of Assize of the department of the Aube..
The accused is a young and pretty woman, the
daughter of a surgeon of Alontmorency, sus•
Lpected of having poisoned her husband 15 days
lifter their marriage. On the husband's return
from a journey, it appears that his wife served
him up an omelet, of the taste of which, as well
NA that of the wine► • she gave him to drink, he
uomplaine•d. Shortly after lie. experienced a vio-
lent attack of the chafe, which was followed by
vomiting, ; and five or six days after he died.

ceased, the physicians opened the body, but
refused, for what reason is not known, to de-
c.iare the result of their examinetion. After the
body had been buried for five days, it was disin-
t.'rred, and the contents of the stomach were
ordered to be analysed, as also the grease of a
saucepan which wits found concee►letl in the house.
On the first examination Is2o witnesses were heard.
The Royal Court of Paris, before ordering the
.caused for trial, had her brought before them ;
they also charged Mesrs. Vanguelin, Orfila, and
rlarruel, to analyse a liquid cont►►ined in a phial,
sod which had been transmitted to Paris by the
physicians *lto examined the body after its dis-
interment. It is said this case will present some
very curious and extraordinary details.

RLANCHO LT Aeon Emr.--An Inquest was
yeaterday held at the Ben Jonson, Shoe lane, Fleet-street, be-
fore T. Snvt.TON, Esq. Coroner, on the body of Jane Sykes,
Arett,64. W. Wheatley lightennan, sworn, deposed he was
no board a barge which he had the care of, lying oft' Rosher's
Wharf, on Sunday evening last ; there was another barge about
r,at, &tad, from hie ; he had,been on board during the
evening in company with the deceased and her husband, who
slept in the cabin. Witness went to bed between ten and
driven o'clock ; at that time the other barge was aground, be-
lag low water. About one o'clock he was alarmed by the hus-
band calling out " Will I Will I" On getting up lie observed
the other barge rapidly sinking, and it was with the utmost dif-
ficulty he succeeded in rescuing the old man (Sykes), who was
&limit drowned. It was impossible to save the deceased.—
Ile conceived this melancholy
.accident was owing to a plug at
The bottom of the vessel being out. William Sykes was
.now led into the Jury room in a state of great debility.—
He deposed, he was first alarmed by the water rushing upon
them in the ado. I got my wife by the hand, endeavouring
to aava het, and called mit to the first witness ; she was not
ah, la to get out of the cabin, and witness was then obliged to
'et go her hand, and saw her no more. Ho could not account
for tte plug being out ; it might have been forced up by the
'water. The barge was heavily laden with stones. lour wit-
"idt that about !bur o'clock they went to search the
barge, having heard cf the accident, and they discovered the
de eased floating inside the cabin,which was nearly filled with
water. The Jory,,immediaily returned a verdict of " Accl.
dentally Drowned.
