Nir One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

SUICIDE OF A CLERGYMAN.--SALISBURY, THURS-
DAY.—This morning much consternation and alarm
was created, on its being arniounced by the valet, that
his master, the Rev. Mr. Wrotesley, rector of Knoyle,
was found dead in his sleeping-room, at about a quarter
to eight o'clock. It would appear from what we could
hastily gather that the Rev. Gentleman came to the
White Hart hotel, of this city, last night, in a post-
chaise, to stop there all night ; that he went to bed at
the usual hour of rest. On the valet going to call his
master in the morning at eight o'clock, he found him
(his master) stretched on the floor of his sleeping-room
quite dead. Dr. 'Fathom of this city was instantly sent
tor, when he found life quite extinct. It is supposed
that the unfortunate gentleman had committed suicide
by tying his handkerchief tight round his neck, as it
was so found. An inquest will be held over the body at
tell o'clock to-morrow morning, at the White Hart
h.tel, before Mr. Wilson, the city coroner. The de-
ceased was an aged gentleman, a bachelor, and very
much respected. His valet has been with the unfortunate
gentleman more than twenty years.
ATROCIOUS OUTRAGE.—On Monday evening last
the County Down was disgraced by one of those outrages
which it was the pride of the Northerns to know were
rarely to be recorded as happening in this peaceful
county. At about six o'clock in the evening a shot,
whether from a pistol or a musket is unknown, was fired
into the parlour of Mr. Turner Brown, of Warringstown,
that gentleman sitting in the room at the time. It would
seem as if the arms had been loaded with slugs, as three
panes of the window were shattered, but fortunately Mr.
Brown escaped itagriog any perscag injury,-13anner

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GUILDHALL.
CHARGE OF FORGERY.—A respectably-dressed indi-
viduallnamed Mayhew, who, during the examination,
became so faint that he was obliged to be taken out of
the court for a short time, was placed at the bar,
charged a ith forgery by altering the dates of certain
bills of exchange, and also forging the name of Mr.
Cuthbert Collingwood Hall, of Farnham Hall, Slough,
n Buckinghamshire, the son of Mr. Benjamin Hall, a
inagistra:e, of Paddington.
Mr. Ballantine appeared on behalf of the prosecutor,
and said that p.,rhaps a short statement of the facts
would enable the worthy ALlerman to come to a conclu-
sion with very little trouble. They were these:—Mr.
Cuthbert Collingwood Hall was the son of an inde-
pendent gentleman, and having become rather embar-
rassed in his circumstances, began to look about for the
purpose of relieving himself, and, as the best means,
began to give bills, which, as is usually the case, were
discounted at an enormous per centage. The prisoner
acted as his agent for th 3 last three or four years, and, as
a matter of course, a vast number of bills passed through
his hands. After a time Mr. C. C. Hall saw his
fault, and immediately laid a statement of his
affairs before his father, who directed his solicitor to
settle the whole affairs of his son, . without putting any
limit to the amount. This the solicitor did, ond, after a
great deal of trouble, thought they had got in all the
bills, but to their astonishment it was found that there
were a great number of others out, and that two actions
had been commenced against Mr. Hall for two bills
which were supposed to be forgeries, or to have been
suppressed. Mr. Hall made an affidavit that they were
forgeries, and happening to meet the prisoner, by the
advice of counsel gave him into custody. Ho confessed
to having forged two of the bills, but said that a third
one had Mr. C. C. Hall's signature to it ; but the date
was altered from 1845 to 1847. With respect to two of
the bills, proceedings were being instituted by a respect-
able solicitor in Lincoln's Inn-fields, and his object was
to have him summoned before they went to trial with the
present charge.
Mr. Cuthbert Collingwood Hall stated that he was the
son of Mr. Benjamin Hall, a magistrate at Paddington,
and he himself resided at Farnham-hall, Slough, Buck-
inghamshire. He employed Mr. Mayhew four or five
years ago to negotiate bills for him. He passed a great
many for him, but he (Mr. Hall) kept no account of
them. When he explained his affairs to his father, the
solicitor of his father was directed to liquidate all claims.
Finding that after every settlement had been made (as
he supposed) proceedings were being instituted against
him, he obtained a summons to enable him to inspect
the bills, when he discovered two of them to be forgeries.
After inspecting them he was walking with a Mr. Gray
down the Strand, and returned, after thinking awhile,
to consult his attorney, Mr. Sleep, Middle Temple-lane,
and then they went to luncheon at the Rainbow Tavern.
The prisoner shortly after entered for the same purpose.
He and the prisoner went into a private room, while the
attorney went to consult counsel as to what course they
should pursue. When in the coffee-room he (Mr. Hall)
said to the prisoner that he had a very serious charge to
bring against him. Mayhew replied, "I confess to all.'
He said to the prisoner, " To what extent have:you used
my name, for there are two actions pending against me
upon bills which are forgeries?" He said, "I am aware
I have done you a great injury, but I hope you will let
me go, or not call a policeman in here." He then
turned his pockets out, and confessed to two bills being
forgeries; one for 271. 14s. 6d., and another for 401. He,
however, declared that the bill for 1181. bore his own
genuine signature, but that the date was altered from
1845 to 1847, which, on examining it, was found to be
perfectly correct. The prisoner also handed him a
packet of bills, one of which was for 16/. odd, the date
of which was altered.

Alderman GIBBS asked the prisoner if he wished to
say anything, as Mr. Ballantine wished for a remand.

Maibew said that he had had no opportunity of seeing
a legal gentleman, and therefore he thought it advisable
not to cross-examine Mr. Hall, or make any statement.
Alderman Gums remanded him until Friday (this
day) week, and directed that the solicitor in Lincoln's
Inn-fields should be served with a summons to attend.
MARYLERONE.

A HEARTLESS VlLLAlN.—Yesterday a respectably-
dressed young woman, apparently a servant, entered the
witness box for the purpose of requesting the advice and
assistance of the Magistrate, Mr. Long; and it will be
seen that the cruel and heartlessconduet pursued towards
her was of an almost similar description to that which
impelled Annette Meyers to murder a foot soldier in St.
James's Park, last‘Friday week. The applicant, who
seemed in much grief, stated that for some months past
she had kept company with a young man, a private in
the Grenadier Guards, stationed at Portman. street
barracks, and who, having promised her marriage, had,
from time to time, obtained from her nearly all her
money, under the pretence of making purchases of
furniture for an apartment in which they were to reside
after the wedding had taken place. She had DO reason
to doubt his sincerity until a few days ago, when she
ascertained, upon the most undoubted authority, that he
was already married. Under these circumstances she
had laid the whole of the facts of her distressing case
before the commanding officer of the regiment, by whose
advice she had come up to this Court in the hope that
something might be done for her.
The MAGISTRATE expressed his regret that she should
have suffered, by such conduct as that which had been
related by her, and recommended her to proceed against
the soldier in the County Court for the amount which he
had obtained.

THE MURDER BY A PRIEST IN
FRANCE.
ASSIZES OF TIIE HAUTE GARONNE.
. .

After the opening of the case by the Procureur-
General, in which he brought forward the leading
points of the act of accusation, and enlarged upon
those which apperei to him to bear hard upon the
prisoner (I3rother Leotade), the President proceeded
to the interrogation of Leotade. He was first asked
if he had been acquainted with Cecile Combettes,
the deceased. He replied in the negative. The President
then asked how it was that, if he was not acquainted
with Cecile Cornbettes as being the apprentice girl of
Conte, the bookbinder, he had one occasion, when
he took a inept 'ragouts-book to Conte to be bound, de
sired that it might, when eini.died, be sent home by la
petite? The prisoner replied that he had no recollection of
having said anything of the kind. Ho was next interro-
gated as to the way in which he had employed his
time on the 15th of April, the day when Cecile Com-
bettes was last seen alive. He entered into a detailed
account of his proceedings, which was in some parts
in contradiction with what he had stated on his ex-
amination by the examining magistrate, and when
these were pointed out to him by the President, he
replied that he hal been so tortured by the examinations
in question, and by being kept in solitary confinement,
that it was not extraordinary that he should have been
so confused as hardly to know on some points what he
said. The President took occasion to remark to him
when he talked of solitary confinement, that there was
reason to believe that he was in communication with his
Director, and enjoyed many facilities and advantages
which tended to show that he was not in so solitary
and abandoned a position as he wished to make the
Court believe. Leotade declared that ho had held
no communication with his Director, except to ask for
some little necessaries, and to know if he might be
permitted to receive the sacrament. The President
asked him whether he had not sent word to the Direc-
tor that he was very uneasy at the idea of the injury
which might be caused to the community by what had
occurred to himself. lie replied that he had no re-
collection of having done anything of the kind. Some
questions were then put to Leotade respecting a letter
of conscience which he had sent to the superior or
director-general of his order. The object:of this ques-
tion seemed to be to convey a belief that Leotade had
been making efforts to induce the heads of the commu-
nity to use their influence to screen him from justice.
The prisoner replied that the letter of conscience was
expected from every brother, and was part of their
regular duty. Some contradictions in the answers of
the prisoner to the questions put to him by the examin-
ing magistrate respecting the clothes which he wore
on the day when Cecile Combettes was murdered were
next pointed out. The important fact developed by this
part of the proceedings, however, was that the velveteen
breeches of the prisoner were stained with blood, which
he explained by stating that he had a discharge of
blood from hemorrhoids, with which he said he was
affected; but it did not appear that he had made
any communication of this fact to the surgeon
of the establishment, although he pretended that
he had done so. He was next questioned as to the rab-
bits kept in the establishment, and which he was in the
habit of attending to. He was asked whether ho had
not given some of these rabbits to Conte, although
they belonged to theecommunity. He admitted that
he had, but stated that it was understood that they
were to be paid for, and that he would account to
the community for the rabbits. He was asked
whether he had told Cecile Combettes that he would
give her some rabbits, to which he replied in the nega-
tive. The object of this interrogation was evidently to
lead to a part of the system of the accusation which
would show that whilst Cecile Combettes was waitingin
the corridor for her master, she was invited by Leotade
to go and see his rabbits, which would easily account for
the readiness with which she must have accompanied
him front the corridor to the part of the building where
she was violated and killed. Some questions were
next put to Leotade respecting the shirt alluded to in
the act of accusation. Ile persisted in declaring posi-
tively that he had not changed his shirt, and there
fore that it was impossible for the soiled shirt found
in tho room where the foul linen was kept to have
belonged to him. The rest of the interrogatories in
the sitting of the Bth turned chiefly upon the proceed-
ings and conversations of the prisoner after the body
had beets discovered. Ilis visit to Mme. Conte and his
conversation with her, his conversation with a person
named Lajus, in which he alluded to Conte as likely to
have committed the crime, and other circumstances,
were brought before him. His answers were nearly the
same as those which he had given to the examining
magistrates. He denied everything which could
appear to establish a ground of suspicion of his
own guilt. On the 9th, the first witness called was
Respand, the grave digger of the burial-ground, who
discovered the body of Cecile Combettes lying against
the wall. This witness, and some other persons who
came to his assistance after the discovery was made,
deposed as to the condition of the body. Some hilarity
was produced in court, notwithstanding the solemnity
of the affair, by one of the witnesses, named Leveque,
having claimed the priority of the discovery. He
declared that he, and not Raspand, was the first to see
the body, and he appeared quite indignant that Ras-
pand should assume the priority. M. Lamarle, the
commissary of police, who went to the spot as soon as
he was apprised of the discovery of the body, gave a
minute account of the circumstances connected with the
first proceedings. The hilarity produced by the wit-
ness Leveque was much increased by M. Lamarle. The
President having desired him to give an account to the
court of what he had remarked, and what he had not
remarked, he replied that it would be a difficult thing
to tell the court what he had not remarked. The
counsel for the defence put several questions to M. La-
merle, with a view to obtain from him an admission that
the body of Cecile Combettes might have been brought
to the place where it was found, from the outside of the
burial-ground, and not not from the establishment of
the Freres. 'The evidence of DI. Laniarle, however,
clearly tended to show that the body had been
thrown over the wall by some person of the es-
tablishment. M. Aumont, another commissary of
police, stated that he had been ordered by the Juge d'ln-
*traction to investigate the circumstances connected with
the murder. He had begun by inquiring diligently as to
whether Cecile Combettes had been seen in Toulouse
after the hour when she went to the establishment of
the Freres with her master to deliver books. Nobody
had seen her. lie had also examined the ladders and the
walls of the establishment. One of them filled the marks
which had been found on the earth at the spot where the
murderer was supposed to place it to enable him to
reach the top of the wall. lie had searched for the
breeches and the drawers worn by Leotade at the time
when the catastrophe occurred. Ile found the former,
but could obtain no trace of the latter. N. Lafont, an
architect, laid before the court a ground plan of the
premises, and M. Lezerd produced a plan in relief. The
next witness examined was N. Estevenet, a physician
and surgeon- He gave a description of the dead
body from which it appeared that the head had been
fractured in several places, as if with a stone, or wooden
shoe, or some other blunt instrument. In the hair were
fragments of stone, earth, sse.,
which appeared to have
been detached from the wall, and upon the wall itself
above the body there were marks indicating that some-
thing had passed over it, nod torn a portion away. It
was quite evident to the witness that the body had not
been brought from the Rue Riquet which adjoins the
burial ground, for there were obstacles in the way which
must have been deranged if such had been the case, but
which had not been touched. Near the wall in the in-
terior of the establishment of the Freres there were
marks, which indicated that somebody had been passing;
there were plants which had been trodden upon, and one
had been quite torn up. In the hair of the deceased was
a fragment of a geranium, and near the wall, over which
the body must have been thrown, there were geraniums
growing. There was also on the hotly portions of an-
other plant, which was growing in the garden of the
establishment, and over which probably the body had
been dragged. This witness deposed to the traces of
violation aluded to in the act of accusation, and to the
fact of the {emit! discharge. He stated that the contents
of the stomach had been examined in order to arrive at
a knowledge of the time when the murder was committed .
llis opinion, and that of the persons who assisted him in
the examination was, from the state of the undigested
aliments, that life had ceased about three hours after
the victim had last eaten. It will be remembered
that Cecil Combettes arrived at the establishment of the
Freres at about nine in the morning, and that she break-
fasted a short time before she left her master's house.
Dr. Estevenet then gave an account of a visit which he
paid to the garden of the establishment of the Freres on
the 16th of April, after the murder. Ile had with him
one of the Freres on one side, and Leotade on the other.
On seeing foot-marks, Leotade said that it was probably
noxs autres fares who had made the mails
on going
near the wall with the gardener.
Leotade, on being asked what he hail to say to this
part of the deposition, denied that he had been in the
garden on the 16th—on the 17th he might have been
there.
Dr. Estevenet said he would not speak positively as
to the day.
Leotade said he had no recollection of having made the
remark mentioned by the witness, but it might be true.
Dr. Estevenet was then asked if Leotade had made
any remark to him about his shirt, as he pretended to
have done?
The witness replied that he had no recollection of his
having done so.
The President asked Leotade if he persisted in saying
to the doctor that he had not changed his shirt?
He replied, yes; my breeches were torn, and N. Este-
vent said to me, " You are very poor," on which I re-
plied, I have. not even changed my shirt.
Gaussail, another medical man, gave evidence as
to the violation and murder similar to that of N. Este-
venet. The previous virginity of the deceased was
proved by the statement of this as well as the other
' medical examiner.
Ressaire, another physician and surgeon, who ex-
ambled the body of Cecile Combettes, corroborated the
evidence of Messrs. Estevenet and Gaussail, as to the
state of the body and the '.ause cf death.
• This closed the proceedings of the third day.
At the sitting of the 10th, medical evidence was
adduced to show that the excremental matter found on
) the body of deoeued, was of a nature similar tc, that
