FENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID LlAllt DYE.
►7 The 'thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only

grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent 'change ; and it
can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy

ANOTHER LAFFARGE CASE

A trial for murder by poisoning, which bears a strong
resemblance to the celebrated Laffarge case, has just
occupied the Court of Assize of Montpellier. It lasted
for several days, and the verdict was pronounced
on Thursday last. The circumstances may be
stated briefly as follows :—ln August, 1844, M.
Malaret, a gentleman farmer of Beziers, died suddenly,
and a few months afterwards his widow, a young
woman of some beauty and good education, married a
young man named Berdet, with whom she had become
acquainted by visiting the school where her son was
placed, and at which Berdet was a teacher. This ac-
quaintance ended in a criminal intercourse, which
reached the knowledge of her husband, also a young
man, and remarkable for his kindness to his
wife, and led to a serious quarrel between her
and her husband, as also to the dismissal of Berdet from
his situation, but the husband still retained his
wife in the conjugal domicile, and appeared disposed
to forgive her. Berdet, who is stated to be a man of
very dissolute habits, fell into great distress, but re-
ceived, it is supposed, pecuniary assistance from Madame
Malaret, and whenever an opportunity offered, their
criminal intercourse was renewed. The death of M. Ma-
laret took place after repeated attacks of illness, which
there is no doubt now were the result of a series of at
tempts to destroy him, but at length, and at a moment
when his health was considered by his friends to be re-
established, he fell ill and died. During his last illness all
the servants were sent out of the way by his wife, and
she alone attended him. Suspicions were entertained in
the neighbourhood, but nothing, even in the way of
rumour, reached the ears of the authorities until several
months after the marriage between Berdet and the
widow had taken place, when their attention was excited
by the receipt of an anonymous letter, and an inquiry was
instituted. The body was exhumed and a large quantity
of arsenic was found in it. Monsieur and Madame
Berdet were then arrested and brought to trial on
the charge of murder. The evidence against
the female was very strong indeed—the adulteries
between her and Berdet during the life-time of
Malaret were clearly established, and many facts were
proved showing that Madame Malaret must have adminis-
tered poison to her husband frequently, and that finding
his constitution triumphed over the administration of
arsenic in small doses, she had at length resolved to give
such a quantity as to render death certain. It was proved
that, during the last illness, she had prevented the servants
from approaching the room of the victim; that she alone
had prepared his food, and that she had refused to call
in the aid of a physician. The case as against Berdet,
however, was far from conclusive, and he was acquitted.
Madame Berdet was found guilty, but with extenuating
circumstances, and sentenced to imprisonment, with hard
labour, for life. She evinced during the trial great self-
possession, and in very energetic terms protested that
she was innocent, but when the verdict was given she
betrayed great emotion.

than possibly at any anterior period of our annals, a
work of more practical utility than an accurate " Poli-

only are the mere technicalities unravelled, but its more
abstruse phases are dealt with and expounded : as, for
instance, in the present section of the work, the articks
on " Roman Law," and the " Sessions." What has
hitherto baffled the apprehension of many, will, with
the assistance of this " Political Dictionary," be com-

such a quantity as to render deathcertain. It was proved
that, during the last illness, she had prevented the servants
from approaching the room of the victim; that she alone
had prepared his food, and that she had refused to call
in the aid of a physician. The case as against Berdet,
however, was far from conclusive, and he was acquitted.
Madame Berdet was found guilty, but with extenuating
circumstances, and sentenced to imprisonment, with hard
labour, for life. She evinced during the trial great self-
possession, and in very energetic terms protested that
she was innocent, but when the verdict was given she
betrayed great emotion.

REGISTERED PALETOT of ' LLAMA
CLOTH, 6 and 7 Victoria, cap. 65.
Patronised by the Prince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, the
Duke of Wellington, and the following distinguished visitors to this
country :—The Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, the King of
Belgium, the King of Saxony, the King of Holland, Prince William
of Prussia, and further honoured by the continued patronage of all
who seek an unaffected gentlemanly appearance. The cloth is
made of Llama Wool, a fabric most agreeably soft and elastic to the
touch, and is one-third the weight of ordinary woollen clothes, but it
corresponds in shades of colour. It is very durable, and naturally a
repellent of rain, yet so porous as to admit of a due escape of exces-
sive bodily heat. These advantages, with the very moderate price
charged, renders the Registered Paletot worthy the attention of all.
They can be purchased in London, of the Patentees only, at their
Warerooms, 114, Regent-street, and 22, Cornhill,

habits of the illustrious Hobbes--Hobbes of Malmesbury.
Aubrey's account of his habits, is especially entertain-
ing, and through it we follow the old philosopher, erect
in body, and steadfast in the retention of his wisdom,
through the daily course habitual to his existence. His
scanty breakfast ; his sturdy walks, for promoting heat
and expelling moisture ; his meditativeness between
meals ; his solitary dinner ; his mid-day slumbers ; his
smoking ten or twelve pipes of tobacco (" rare, devilish,
damned tobacco !" as Robert Burton hath it) ; his laying
awake in bed, and singing cheerily to himself at mid-
night ; all these scraps of memory, swimming. before
our vision as we read, Ling back upon our imaginations
the solemn and affecting image of the sage. Conveying
so much useful information, in so plantar and so ac-
cessible a form, Charics Knight's Weekly I olume de-

THE CABINET HISTORY OF ENGLAND.

Under the management of the same singularly enter-
prising publisher, who, as accredited publisher to the
society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, and as
editor of Shakspere, has acquired for himself such a dis•
tinguished position in the world of contemporary letters,
this pocket history for the people proceeds prosperously.
In abreviating the corresponding passages in his original
composition, the Pi6orial History of England, Mr.
Charles MacFarlane has generally evinced discrimina-
tion in selecting the points for erasure, and has alto-
ppther compiled a very useful inductive work to English
history.

SbIITHFILLB,

During the past week the imports of live stock from abroad
consisted of 30 Oxen and Cows, together with 450 Sheep,
76 Lambs, and 4 Calves, from Rotterdam ; as also 202 Sheep
from Flushing. From other parts no arrivals have taken
place. We had on offer about 40 foreign Beasts, and 100
ditto of Sheep, the demand for which, though the quality
was tolerably good, was in a sluggish state, and prices were
not supported. The limited import of stocks must be chiefly
attributed to most of the Dutch and other continental
graziers waiting that period when both beasts and sheep
will be admitted into our markets free of duty.
The bullock droves from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam-
bridgeshire, consisted of about 2,000 Scots, home-breds, and
short-horns; from the southern districts, 120 short-horns;
from the western and midland counties, 400 Herefords, De-
vons, runts, &c. ; from other parts of England, 350 of various
breeds; and from Scotland, 200 horned and polled Scots.
It will be seen from the above, that we had a large number
of beasts on sale, owing to which, and the continued warm
weather, the Beef trade was in a very depressed state, at a de-
cline in thmuotatioes of 2d per 81bs., and a clearance was not
effected. The general quality of the stock was remarkably good.
For the time of year, we had a full average number of
Sheep on offer. Prime old Downs were in fair request, at
full prices; but all other kinds moved off slowly, at low
rates. From the Isle of Wight, 231 Lambs came fresh to
hand, while the receipts from other quarters were good. The
Lamb trade was brisk at an advance in prices of 2d per
81bs. Calves—the supply of which was moderately good—
moved off steadily, at full prices. In Pigs very little was
doing, at late rates.

LONDON, MONDAY, JUNE 8, 1846.

A most important meeting of the friends and sup-
porters of Lord JOHN RUSSELL took place on Satur-
day, at his Lordship's house, at Chesham-place, which
was numerously attended by Members of the House
of Commons. Two questions were taken into con-
sideration on the occasion : first, the Irish Coercion
Bill; and, secondly, the Sugar Duties. On both these
questions it was, by a very large majority—indeed,
almost unanimously—determined that the Minis-
terial policy should be opposed. It was
(KW'
