him by the thrkt, as if for the purpose of strangling
him. In the strangle ofthe sentinel to extricate himself,
the inudtet went,off, and his assailants, alarmed lest the
report should lain;
escape. Some tuabt was at first entertained as to the.
truth of the stca-y told by the sentinel, but drops of
assistance to the spot, made their
blood were faunc, on his Cross-'belts, although he was not
wounded, from vhich it is inferred that one of the assail-
ants had received a wound in the struggle, and his sides
were found to beseverelv bruised by the blows which he
had received. Fk stated that he could only distinguish
the person of me of the assailants, who, he said, was
respectably dres.qd."

A letter front Copenhagen, in the I.lambargh Gazette,
states that two d?legates from the Anabaptists of Eng-
land have recent:.}' presented a petition to the King of
Denmark,
Who had been' arrested in his doniinitnA. The

King replied that they should be immediately set at
liberty, if they could give a formal promise to abstain
from all acts affecting public worship, until it should be
legally decided wi.hin what limits they might enjoy the
liberty of exercising their religion. The imprisoned
parties replied that their consciences would not allow
them to submit to
,such a stipulation ; and so they re-
main in confinement.. • •
Extract of a letter from Beyrout, 29th ult., in the
Semaphore of Marsti:le3:—" Some Protestant Ministers,
having obtained a few proselytes, had proposed to build
a church at Chawnifat, a village to the north-east of
Beyrout, but the tnglish :Consul has diverted thorn
from their purpose, as -.being likely to call down
the anathemas of the Patriarch, not only on the
Protestants, but on the English in general. There
has just been decided a suit between the nephew of
• the
_Emir Bechir, now at Malta
and the three sons of
the Emir Youssuf, of which the following is the
foundation. When the old Etnir Bechir, 35 years
ago, treacherously seized the three unhappy brothers,
put out their eyes, and cut out their tongues, he divided
their domains between his own three sons and his ne-
phew. Since the publication of the hatti-scheriff, and
the loss of power of the old Emir, the three victims of
his barbarity have reclaimed their property. The ne-
phew refused to restore his share of the spoil, on the
ground that the claimants were precluded of their right
by lapse of time, but out. Cadi has given proof of his
justice by decreeing an entire restitution to the rightful
owners.
The following railroad accident is related by the Me-
morial Bordela is to have taken place on Tuesday last':—
" The branch leading front time Bordeaux and Teste road
to St. Medard had not been closed, through neligence,
and the fivo o'clock train consequently deviated
into it, and came in contact with four waggons,
two of which were laden 'vial earth. The shock wits
so violent, that these last two were broken into frag-
ments, and the others thrown upwards of 300 yards
along the rails. Through a wonderful piece of good
fortune, not a single passenger was hurt, 'and the men
on the engine escaped as by a miracle. Signals being
made, another locomotive was brought and drew the
train back into the right line, and then on as far as
Gazinet. however, the axletree of the tender
broke, and the whole of the passengers were obliged to
pass the night on the road, and did not reach Teste till
five o'clock the next morning. The same fate befel
those who tee: their departure from 'reste for Bordeaux
at the saute hour, and who did not arrive at their desti-
nation till seven in thenorning."
Three days ago, the body of a gardener, named Theu-
nis, was found on the railway near Antwerp, with the
head actually severed from it. An Antwerp journal
states that there is every reason to believe that the man
had placed himself across the rails in order that he might
thus put an end to' his existence. This is the second
instance of such a suicide.
On the night of the 28th ult., during the voyage of
the Tanerede French steamer.from Constantinople to
Smyrna, a seamen, who was entrusted in the Sea of
Marmora with two bundles of despatches for the shore,
fell into the sea as he was getting into the boat, and
every attempt to save him was for a long time fruitless.
At length, however, when all hope was nearly at an end,
they heard a voice exclaim "Fear nothing, I am safe,"
and sending a boat to the spot from which the voice pro-
ceeded, the poor fellow was found with his arms out of
water grasping the despatches, of which notwithstand-
ing his danger he had kept fast hold.
The Memorial de Rouen gives the following from Bar-
neville, in the Eure:—" A young female, apparently at
her ease as to fortune, and who had evidently been t ecus-
towed to superior society, some time ago fixed her resi-
dence at Barneville, where she continued to live in a state
of seclusion, having for her companion only a female ser-
vant, who did not, however, sleep in the house. Re-
cently, this lady, whose name was Mademoiselle V---,
lost the key of the 'outer doer of her house, and had an-
other one made. Shortly afterwards, on returning
home in the evening, she heard a noise in her bed-
room, and having called in the neighbours, and
Made a search, a young man. of Barneville, was found
concealed in a chest. His answers to the _questions
which were put to him left no•doubt that his object was
theft, but Mdlle.V— entreated, from considerations for
his aged mother, that he might not be prosecuted. He
was arrested, however, and when called upon formally to
defend himself, he had the infamy to declare that he
was a lover of the female, in whose house he had been
found, and that she herself had given him the key of
the outer door, in order that he might enter. Mdlle.
V—, on hearing how she had been calumniated, was so
much affixted, that taking ene of the loaded pistols,
which she kept by her as a security against housebreak-
ing, she put its point to her breast and fired. She died
a few hours afterwards in great suffering."
The following horrible murder was'committed a few
days ago at lturtrel, in the Vancluse, by a farm servant,
nameeMontjalard, aged 20, on the person of a female
servant named Saignon, aged 25, who was in a state of
pregnancy by the murderer. In order to conceal the
connection between them, and avoid the consequences,
the murderer induced his victim during the night to
leave the house where they lived and' walk with him.
Having arrived near a deep well, he threw her in. The
poor girl in falling caught at the branch of a tree which
was hanging in the well, as low as the surface of the
water, and entreated mercy. The ruffian hows:%*r t crew
an enormous stone at her, in hope of fot cirig 1 sr to let
go her hold, but as the stone missed her he left his vic-
tim for a time to go and fetch his gun, and on his return,
finding that she was still clinging to the branch, he pre-
tended to take pity on her, and gave her his hand to raise
her out of the well. She had no sooner, however, got
out than he struck her violently on the ad with the
butt end of his gum, and repeated the blows until he had
crushed her scull. The murderer returned home tran-
quilly, but was soon after arrested, when he confessed
his crime, and related these horrible details.
A disgusting scene was witnessed at Toulouse a few
days since. Two women of the lowest class had a
quarrel, arid set to fighting in the street ; when one of
them, who was pregnant, received a kick from the other
which caused her death the day following.
Extract of a letter from Constantinople, Ist inst.:—
" Said Bey is still treated with great consideration by
the Government, and it is affirmed that his suit for the
hand of the young Sultana Adiieh, who is only eleven
years old, has been favourably received. Preparations
are making for sonic grand ceremony. Large purchases
of silks and furs have been effected for the Sultan's
harem. We shall not therefore be surprised if, in a short
time, an intimate alliance between the Sultan and Me-
hemet Ali is formed."

The frigate La Forte, of GO guns, which has been
twelve years on the stocks at Cherbourg, was launched
a few days ago.
The Gazette &Auvergne says :—" On Saturday last
the soldiers it garrison at Clermont, after rmioving the
barricades which they had erected in their defence at the
Place d'Espagne, the Poterne, and all the streets leading
to the Hotel-de-Ville, returned to their barracks, and
the free passage of the streets was again restored. On
the same day the Cathedi al was re-opened, and public
worship recommenced. Some more arrests have been
made at Clermont, and some of the small towna in its
neighbourhood: The total number of arrests is 125." -
The Correctional Tribunal of Paris was yesterday oc-
cupied with the trial of eighteen more of the men arrested
during the recent disturbances in the Faubourg St. An-
toine. Acquin, a hair-dresser, was sentenced to fifteen
months' imprisonment, and a fine of 100 francs. All
the rest received judgments of from three months down
to five days' confinement, exce,at an Englishman, named
Hewett, who excused himself on the ground that being
a foreigner, and not acquainted with the laws and cus-
toms of the country, he did not know that the rolling
of the drum meant that the crowd should disperse, and,
upon this plea got off with only twenty-four hours' in-
careration. • One man only Was acquitted.
The Rouen journals give an account of an accident
which happened, a few days ago, to the steamboat
Union, No. 1. She had left La Bouille, in the evening.
with upwards of 400 passengers, many of them return-
ing from the fair of Bourg Achard, and had arrived
oft'
f)fo covered with smoke and flame, water andDieppedalle, when the boiler exploded, and all were
s
steam. The alarm and confusion on board was na-
turally great, but, fortunately, a number of boats
came off from the shore, and took about 200 in, though
with great difficulty and delay, on account of the dark-
, waited the ar-
ness, and most of the people being females. Two men
jumped into the from the cabin, and one woman, in her
terror, thnnv, herself from the deck,, but they were all
saved. The steamer being thus lightened, and the

one received any injury beyond some slight contusions.
" About a hundred workmen," says the Moniteur Pari-
sien, " left Paris on Wednesday for Havre to embark in
the Caroline for Brazil, with the intention of establishing
a phalansterian 'colony in the country. A second
and
more numerous emigration of workmen of this society is,
it is added, to take place in a few months." The same
journal informs us that the Abbey of Citeaux, with all its
dependencies in the department of the Cote-d'Or, has
just been purchased by Mr. Young for the purpose
of converting it into a phalanstere upon the principles
ofFourier.
