PARIS CORRECTIONAL POLICE.
A LOVING HUSBAND.—A worthy dyer in Paris,
who had the good (?) fortune to be possessed of a pretty
wife, was at times tormented by the insinuations of the

green-eyed monster, during which be gave way to great
violence. On the morning in which the scenes occurred
which caused his appearance at the bar of the Correc-
tional Police, he bad imbibed more than a double dose
of jealousy towards his spare rib, and he, consequently,
determined to inflict on her a corresponding quantity of
what he thought wholesome discipline. That no inter-
ruption should take place, he firmly locked his door,

and then commenced. The cries of the unfortunate
woman soon brought a crowd of neighbours to her door,
but beyond that barrier they could not penetrate, and
all they could do was to offer her their sympathy and
condolence. The cries, however, became so loud that
one amongst the listeners ran and got the assistance of
the police, who, on being refused admittance, very un-

. .
ceremoniously burst open the door, and carried off my
dyer to the guard-house. On being brought up to the
Court, the following dialogue took place between the
culprit and the President :
President—Robelin, you are accused of ill-treating
your wife. What have yQU to say to the charge?
Prisoner—Those are little family matters which con-
cern no ono but ourselves.

President—lt concerns public justice, andp I beg you
to reply a little more respectfully.
Prisoner—lt is very easy to talk in that way to a
man. Ask her what I beat her for.

President—We have nothing to do with your mo
tives—you have no right to beat her at all.

Prisoner—Oh ! well then I am nobody in my own
house—l am a child—a canary bird—and my wife may
put me in the corner.

President—Besides, you assaulted the guard who
came to your house to restore order.

Prisoner—Oh you may say what you will about
that—l know nothing about it.
The eorporal of the guard here stepped forward, and
gave his evidence. " The prisoner was as red in the
face as a radish, and as furious as a clap of thunder.
He began by telling us that we had no right to come
into his house. He then called me a Cossack and a
Bedouin. Go on,' I said, I shall put it all down on
paper.' He then raised his hand to strike me. ' Oh,
oh,' said I, not quite so fast ; I shall put no more down
on the paper, but if you touch me I shall run my sabre
through you.' That calmed him a little, but not
much. He called me an assassin—that I cared nothing
about. I put that down on the paper."
Prisoner—l recollect nothing about all that stuff. I

only remember calling him a jackass, because he would
maintain that I had no right to thrash my wife.
President—He was in the right.
Prisoner—How ? What ! In my own house, and
with my own stick ?
President—l repeat that you are ►ery much to blame,
and I entreat you not to persist in ill-using your wife.
Prisoner—Well, well, don't talk politics.
President—The tribunal would have been indulgent
to you if you had testified some repentance.
Prisoner—Why, there is nothing in the whole of it
but a mere flea-bite.
The Court condemned him to twenty days' imprison-
ment and thirty francs fine.

The attention of the Correctional Tribunal was a
few days since directed to a charge made by a Madame,
Bouvillon against a young man named Cesar, whose
dog lied taken rather an indslicate liberty with ore of
the lady's legs.
Madame Bouvillon, the fair plaintiff, represented her-
self as a rentiere, and the elegance and recherche style
of her dress did not contradict that assertion ; and,
although her annual revenues might have been derived
from stock of not the most solid character, yet, as she
confirmed her assertion by an oath, we must bel eve
her. According to the account given by the fair mu-
tiere, it appears that while sitting one evening last week
at her open window, absorbed in the perusal of
a heart-stirring romance, the door-bell was rung. She
hastened to open it, and discovered the visitor to be a
young man 'of rather dubious exterior, leading by a
string a very little beautiful spaniel. He entered the
room, and without any ceremony took a chair, saying,
" Madame, I have brought you back your lost dog."
"My dog, Sir ! But, Sir, you are mistaken, for I have
no dog ; lamer hall one, for I do not like them."
" That is very singular. I found this little spaniel three
or four days since, and, from inquiries I have made, I
understood it belonged to you, and that you were very
uneasy at its loss." "It was a mistake, Sir, I assure
you." " I am sorry, for I should have been so very
happy to have rendered myself' agreeable in your eyes."
By degrees the stranger had drawn his chair close
.to the lady's, and at length began to be too for-
ward in his advances. Madame Buuivillon, who ex-
pected visitors, rose from her chair, thinking that
would be a signal for hint to leave, but the hint
was lost upon him, for, on the contrary, he only rose,
and seizing her round the waist, was proceeding to
ravish a kiss from her ruby lips, when she darted to
the door and called the porter to her assistance. On his
arriving she, in her turn, became the assailant, and se:z-
ing-the intrusive visitor by the collar, pushed him to-
wards the door. The dog, which had hitherto been a
quiet spectator of the scene, now rushed to the assist-
ance of his master, and seizing the lady by the leg made
her relax her hold, and cry aloud for help. Her dress
was torn in various places, and her whole toilette disor-
ganised, which, in addition to the pain of the bite, en-
raged her so much that she sent for the guard, and had
the intruder taken into custody.
The defence made by the gentleman was of a charac-
ter to render still less doubtful the means from which
the fair plaintiff derived her rentes. He said that it
was the remit of a bet made after dinner.
The Court, after a short consultation, condemned him
to 16 francs fine, and 2.5 francs for the damage done by
his spaniel.

HOURS OF ItEST.—The wind requires regular
rest as well as the body, and does not so soon recover
any excess of exertion. But it is the tendency of the
present state of society in England to produce unnatural
exertion. Stage-coach horses, and walkers against time
are not the only creatures that are worked to death in
this country. Many are the labourers (and it is the
most sober and industrious upon whom the evil falls),
who by task work, or by working what is called days
and quarters, prepare for thamselves a premature old
age ; and many are the youths who, while they are
studying for University honours,_ rise early and sit up
late, have recourse to art for the purpose of keeping
their jaded faculties wakeful, and irretrievably injure
their health for ever, if this intemperance of study does
not cost them their lives.. Archbishop Williams is said
to have slept only three hours in the four-and-twenty ;
so that he lived three times as long," says his biographer,
"as one that lived no longer." This is a marvellous
fact ; for Williams was a man who employed all his
waking hours, and moreover was-not of the most tran-
quil disposition. " But," says Dr. Southey, " I believe
that any one who should attempt to follow his example
would 'suffer severely for his imprudence."
ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT; WESTERN
RAILWAY.—A correspondent, who made inquiries yes-
terday, says—" The late accident on this railway, as we
stated on Wednesday, was caused by a slip' in the em-
bankment between Woßtton Bassett and Chippen-
ham. On inquiries yerday at the Great Western
station, we learnt that four or five gentlemen were
brought up by the train very seriously injured, Three
gentlemen we}' eq much hurt that one of them was
obliged to be left behind at Wootton Bassett, and the
other two at Reading. There seems to be every dispo-
sition among the officers connected with the railway to
