HORRIBLE CRIME.

A very curious case engages at present the Courts of
Criminal Justice in Paris. A lady connected with the
first families in France has just been committed to
prison, charged with the murder of her husband. The
circumstances of the case are these :—Her husband, a
few weeks since, had occasion to go to a distant province
on business of importance. During his absence he cor-
responded with his wife, and received frequently most
affectionate letters from her. The warmth of her co-
respondence seemed to increase with the pr -
longed absence of her husband, and from simple
tenderness it reached by degrees the highest point of
romance. She wished to know how he spent every mo-
ment in the day, in order that she might conform as
much as possible to his habits, and she requested that
he might breakfast, dine, and sup, at fixed hours it
being her wish in imagination to sit down to tattle with
him, and enjoy in idea the pleasures of their domestic
board. She next tent him half a biscuit, which she slid
was made by her, and requested him to cat it at the
the same hour when she proposed to consume the por-
tion remaining in her hands. The poor husband, de-
lighted with these marks of fetidness, overlooked the
childishness of the request, and first conforming himself
to the hour prescribed, finished by eating the half bis-
cuit which she so earnestly recommended to his taste.
Two hours after the biscuit was eaten the poor hip-
-band was seized with violent pain, and in the course
of the afternoon he died in the most dreadful tor-
ture. The medical men declared that he was poi-
soned, and by order of the next Magistrate the
body was opened, and arsenic distinctly recognised
to have been administered. The servants of the
house where he lodged were examined, the cook-
ing vessels tested, in short, everything was done
without affording the least clue. The Magistrate next
took possession of his papers, and on reading them the
letter relative to the biscuit was found. Suspicion in-
stantly arose against the wife, and a communication
being made to Paris, the police paid a visit to her
hotel, and examined every part of the establishment.
• In one of the drawers of her dressing-room, a paper
with arsenic was found—the possession of which she could
in no other way account for, than by alleging that she
was in the habit of using it for the destruction of rats.
This answer not being deemed satisfactory, an inquiry
was made into the kind of life she had led during the
abscelep of her husband, and then it appeared that she
head formed a connexion with a young man of lower sta-
tion in life, to whom she at length admitted she was
violently :attached. Under all these ei:cumstances, the
police have thought it proper to arrest and commit her
nrison for trial.

WATSON V. GILBERT.

This was an action brought against William Gilbert,
a tailor, of Oxford-street, to recover 161. 125., under
the following circumstances
The defendant had been for some time separated from
his wife, and allowed her no maintenance. She ac-
cordingly opened a coffee-shop in Islington, and the
plaintiff supplied her with gas fittings for her shop, and
placed a gas lamp over her shop door, the value of
which he now sought to recover from the husband, on
the ground that they were necessaries.
After the examination of the witnesses to show that
the work was done,
The Foreman said that he and his brother Jurors
were of opinion that the gas fittings were not
necessaries.

The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited.
BILLS V. REMNANT.

This action was brought to recover 101. 6s. 3d., for
the disposing of and letting by the plaintiff, as the
agent for the defendant, a house called the Ship and
Star.

The plaintiff claimed 2i per cent. as commission on
the purchase-money of 4121. 165., for which sum the
defendant disposed of the public•house in question,
which is situate in Sparrow-corner, Tower-hill.
John Leikson, the present landlord of the Ship and
Star, stated that it was through the plaintiff he pur-
chased the house of the defendant.

The Jury returned a verdict for the defendant.

INSOLVENT DEBTOR'S' COURT, FEB 5.

IN THE MATTER OF JOHN JOSEPH STOCKDALE.

The rule obtained in this case at the instance of Mr.
Samuel Chamberlain, a coach-builder in Great New-
port-street, Long-acre (relating to the 6001. damages
against Mqssrs. Hansard) was enlarged a fortnight ago
until to-day, and after the cases had been heard, it was
brought before the Court.

Mr. CooKE appeared in support of the rule, and Mr.
NICHOLS (with whom was Mr. NA, ooDROFFE) showed
cause on the part of Stockdale.
The rule was granted under the 89th section of the
present Act of Parliament. Stockdale was discharged
under the Act in January, 1831, and the 6001. damages
in the hands of the Sheriffs, or a portion. was sought to
be obtained for the creditors as subsequently acquired pro-
perty. A rule on the application of Mr. Samuel Cham-
berlain an admitted creditor in the schedule had been
issued, calling on the Sheriffs to held and retain the
money, and on Stock tale to show cause why it should
not. be paid to the creditors.
Mr. Nichols took a preliminary objection to the rule,
on the ground that the affidavit made by Mr. Cham-
berlain, on which it had been granted, did not state
whether he was a creditor.

The objection was held good by the Court, and the
rule was consequently discharged.
This decision will not prevent any creditor in the
schedule from applying for another rule.

lIOLKHAM.—Every one who has visited Holk-
ham must be struck with what that public-spirited and en-
lightened nobleman (Lord Leicester) has affected during a
long life devoted to agricultural pursuits. In this happy se-
curity in their tenure we discover one of the main causes of
the superior cultivation and prosperous condition of the te-
nantry upon the estate of Holkham. " Forty years ago, at
the tea-port of Wells, .not far from Holkham, not less than
10,000 quarters of wheat were annually imported for the sup-
ply of the neighbourhood. But now,' from the great improve-
ments of Lord Leicester on his estates, the same little port
exports•2o,ooo quarters of -wheat, though the population has
perhaps doubled, or more than doubled, in that period".

CORN-LAWS.

Mr. VILLIERS presented nine petitions from
parishes in the metropolis, and one from Yorkshire,
praying for a repeal of the Corn-laws. The Hon. Mem-
ber gave notice that early next Session he should bring
the subject of the Corc-laws under the consideration of
Parliament.—( Hear, hear.)
COAL DUTIES (LONDON).
Mr. STANLEY moved the Order of the Day for
going into Committee on the Coal Duties (London)
13111.

Mr. HAWES thought it impossible that the Bill
could pass during the present Session, and should take
every means in his power to resist it.
Mr. STANLEY complained that not a single Hon.
Member of the House had opposed the Bill but the
Hon. Member for Lambeth.
Mr. H A WES said the Hon. Member must have
been asleep on former discussions, for several Hon.
Members as well as himself had opposed the Bill.
The Bill then went through Committee, and was
ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.

Mr. T. DUNCOM BE presented a petition from
Frederick James, against the proceedings of Courts of
Requests ; also a petition from some individual in Dub.
lin, praying for the release of Mr. F. O'Connor ; also
a petition from several prisoners in the Queen's Bench,
complaining of the law relating to insolvent debtors ;
also a petition from certain hackney-coach proprietors,
against the law requiring them to wear a badge.
Dr. LUSHINGTON presented a petition from
several minor canons, complaining of the Lords' amend-
ments to the Ecclesiastical Duties and Revenues Bill,
and praying this House to do them justice.

COURT CIRCULAR.

WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—Her Majesty and Prince
Albert walked out as usual this morning, but the unfa-
vourable state of the weather prevented her Majesty
taking her usual drive in the afternoon :—Prince Albert,
attended by Colonel Wylde and Mr. G. E. Anson, en-
joyed the sport of pheasant shooting in the vicinity of
Virginia Water this forenoon.
Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent took
walking exercise in the New Grounds and Slopes this
Morning, attended by Lady C. Dundas.
We omitted to mention that the Earl of Sandwich
left the Castle on the 10th.
The Earls of Erroll, Clarendon,and Albemarle, Mar-
quis of Lansdowne, Viscounts Duncannon and Palmer-
ston, Right Hon. F. T. Baring, and Hon. W. Ba-
thurst, took their departure this morning.
Lord and Lady Robert Grosvenor arrived to-day on
a visit. The Earl of Uxbridge and the Ladies E. and
C. Paget, will have the honour of dining with her Ma-
jesty this evening.

The Duke of Cambridge went yesterday morning to
Kew. His Royal Highness returned to town in the
afternoon. _ _

Viscount Palmerston arrived in town yesterday morn-
ing from a visit to her Majesty at Windsor Castle.
The Committee on Education of her Majesty's Must
Honourable Privy Council had a meeting at twelve
o'clock yesterday, in the Council Office.
Viscount Dunctinnon and the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer returned to town yesterday, from a visit to the
Queen, at Windsor Castle.
Lord 'Thomas and Lady Sophia Cecil have left Far-
rance's Hotel, Belgrave-street, to take possession of
their new residence in Eaton-place.

Sir Robert and Lady Peel leave town, on their
return to Drayton Manor, on Monday next.
Lady Byron and family will reside some time
longer at the family seat in Northumberland.
Lord Francis Egerton has taken a spacious man-
sion on the west side of Belgrave.square, for a term. Its
internal embellishments are forthwith to be completed, and
the greater portion of his Lordship's paintings are to be
removed there as early as possible.

The Hon. Hugh Howard died at Bushy, on Fri-
day last. The deceased, who was upwards of 50 years of
age, was father of Sir Ralph Howard, M. P., and the late
Dowager Viscountess Powerscourt, and uncle of the Earl
of Wicklow.

It is at all times painful to see talent prematurely
cut off, and the untimely end of George Chambers, who had
attained considerable eminence as a marine painter, is one
of these lamented occurrences. He died at Brighton on
the 29th October last, after long and severe suffering.
The Queen has recently attached herself to the
medical profession. having enrolled her name in the signa-
ture book of the Royal Medico-Chirurgieal Society, and
signed the obligation of its fellows. This honour has only
been previously conferred by her Majesty'€ predecessor
William IV.

sand. A day for full hearing will be given in this Term.
In the meanwhile the Court will look into the numerous
deeds and evidence produced at the trial.
The Court rose at two o'clock.

EXCHEQUER COURT-THIS DAY

( Sittings in Banco.)
NYE V. JACKSON.

Mr. WHITE moved fora rule to show cause why the ap-
pearance entered for the defendant in this case should not
be set aside, and himself discharged from custody. The
defendant was arrested and committed to the custody of
the Governor of the Whitecross-street prison in October
last, and the appearance was entered by the plaintiff him-
self for the defendant. The Learned Counsel said ho was
now furnished with an affidavit from the father of the de-
fendant, which showed that he (the defendant) was an in-
fant under 21 years of age in October, and is so still.
The COURT-Take a rule nisi.

WARINGIIAM V. DODGE AND GEACH.

Mr. SWAN, on behalf of the defendant Gz.ach, moved
for a rule nisi to sot aside the common appearance, and
all subsequent proceedings as against him, on the ground
that he bad not been served with any writ of summons.
The affidavit of debt alleged that Dodge was served on
the 18th of September, and Geach on the 19th. He had
the affidavit of the defendant, stating that he left London
on the 14th of September for Merthyr Tydvil, Bristol,
and other places, and did not return till the 28th
of the same month. He had also the affidavit
of the defendant's son, who accompanied him
to the coach on the 14th ; saw him off; was acquainted
with the nature of the business he went upon, and he
swore that his father did not return until the 28th ; there-
fore it was quite clear that he could not have been served
upon the Rule granted.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.

ROLLS' COURT, Nor. 11.
HALES V. DARRELL.

His Lordship, after disposing of a few matters that
stood in the paper to be spoke to, proceeded with the
Cause Paper. •

WEEKS V. PITT.

This case came on upon demurrer for multifarious-
ness. The bill was filed by the plaintiff, Henry Weeks,
against the defendant, Mr. Pitt, a solicitor in Glouces-
tershire, praying that an account might be taken under
the decree of the Court, of all sums received by the
defendant on account of the rents of the real estate of
Martha Trotman, as well as of her personal estate.
since her death, that the amount of the payments made
by the defendant on account of the testatrix's estate
might be ascertained, and that the defendant be or-
dered to pay to the plaintiff the balance. The testa-
trix, Martha Trotman, in her lifetime employed the de-
fendant, Mr. Pitt, an attorney in Gloucestershire, to
receive the rents of her estates in that county. She
died in 1808, and there being a dispute as to the admi-
nistration, Mr. Pitt, although not apparently employed by
any one, took upon himself to go on receiving
the rents of the real estate, and also to receive the per.
sonal estate. The bill alleged that the defendant paid
the testatrix's debts, and did that which amounted to an
administration of her estate. The dispute in respect of
the administration ceased in the year 1812, and then
Mr. Weeks, who was the devisee and legatee, obtained
the administration, and was now considered as being the
owner of both the real and personal estate. Mr. Weeks
subsequently employed Mr. Pitt as his banker and agent.
The MASTER of the 'RoLLs said it was perfectly
clear the account to be taken against Mr. Pitt in respect
of his receipts and payments on account of the real and
personal estate of the testatrix, those payments being.
for debts and expenses of administration, was an ac-
count entirely distinct from the account between Mr.
Weeks as the devisee and legatee, and Mr. Pitt as his
banker. The bill was therefore multifarious, and on
that account the demurrer must be allowed.
MORGAN v. DAVIES.

This case also came before the Court upon demurrer
which was overruled.
The Court rose at four o'clock.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 11.
(Sittings in Banco.)
The Middlesex Sittings at Nisi Prius were adjourned
to Wednesday next.
DAVY V. THE BLACKIVALL RAILWAY.
Mr. Sergean:; BOMPAS, with consent of Mr. Butt,
who was on the other side, was heard against the de-
murrer, the judgment given against him in his absence
et an earlier part of the day not having been actually
entered. The objections to the demurrer, being purely
technical, were overruled.—Judgment for the plaintiff.
HYDE V. REYNOLDS.
Mr. Sergeant STEPHEN applied to the Court for the
postponement of the case, which stood in the paper
for this day, to Wednesday next.
Application acceded to.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER--TUESDAY EVENING.
Nothing has been done to require the slightest obser-
vation for the past day or two. This forenoon the offers
on the Derby field were 17 to 1 ; a few bets were made on
outside horses, and 15 to 1 in scores and tens laid against
the Duke of Wellington and Eringo. Offers to couple
Eringo and Marshal Soult were freely given, but no one
would say " done." There was an effort made to intro-
duce the St. Leger ; but we only heard one bet, 200 to
10 v. Tory-boy.

Nor has Lord STANLEY himself followed a dif-
ferent career. Last night Lord :VIORPETH quoted
not one, but several, instances, in which Lord
STANLEY has yielded to an outward pressure, and
modified measures to please the gentlemen of Ire-
land, or the owners of sugar plantations.
After Mr. WARD had so happily exemplified
the character of the Tory party, which adopts the
Whig measures and calls them the ancient institu-
tions of the country, it required something more
than assurance in Lord STANLEY to claim
for Sir ROBERT PEEL and his present friends
the merit of consistently adhering to their own
plans of government. One remarkable difference
we admit there is between the Whigs and the
Tories ; the former confess that they yield, and
state their reasons for it ; the latter strive to hide
their concessions, and boast of their stoicism, while
they give way to the pleasing seduction. In this,
as in most other matters, they add to all the vices
of the Whigs the true Tory vice of hypocrisy.
Even in giving up tyranny when they are com-
pelled, they are so besotted that they still claim
the reputation of tyrants—like vicious old men,
who demand credit for vices they are no longer
capable of perpetrating. As the progress of na-
ture sobers them, so the progress of society has
compelled the Tories to defer to public opinion;
but Lord STANLEY, in their name, most boast-
ingly and hypocritically talks of governing by his
own strong will, as if the years 1826, 1828, 1829,
and 1832, had never existed.

The whole of the French Journals of Thursday have
been received. The only news they contain s the ap-
pointment of M. GUIZOT in the place of M. SEBAS-
TIAN' as Ambassador to the Court of London. On
Wednesday M. GUIZOT received the congratulations
of his friends, so that all doubts upon the subject are
no .v removed.
