THE LATE ASSASSINATION IN PARIS.-
The body of the unfortunate female assassinated in the
Rue des Boucheries is still exhibited in the Morgue. An
immense crowd of spectators, greedy of horrors, is every
day to be seen there gazing at the corpse, covered with
wounds and contusions, the head almost completely severed
from the trunk, and the hair clotted with blood. There
seems to be no reasonable motive for prolonging this hor-
' rible exhibition, no fewer than four individuals having been
arrested and charged with the murder. There is every
Li ..... probability that the real assassin will be immediately dis-
