The leading principles of this Office ars—Moderate and equitable
Rates m Premium for each cis,s of ris'.l—Annual division of Profits.

The difficulty of cAlecting the elements on which to proportion
premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
:treat. that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation. _ .

It has been found by experience, that the total annual looses of the
.liffercrit Established Companies have not been proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each

It is of the highe,t importanee, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an al)! roximation to the
true risk he made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.

me true rate of Prein'tim tor Fire Insaranee can only be ap-
A•oached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
peen sufficiently acted ii, or systematically applied.
Whatever he the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire, and the insurer
s largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a systero where, by a careful combination of Cla.sitica..
tion and kver.,gu, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Ofßce will, by a constant analyst; of its own
experience, from time to tire, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as retards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years. • ..

NEW WORK BY THE AUTHOR OF THE DISCIPLINE OF

EXTRAORDINARY: MURDEII in BELGIUM.
In Nuvember . last an- extraordinary seusatiuu was
ereatsd in Belgiutn by rho snnouucement that Count
Hiepelyte Arisen-, de Bortarree and his wife; both re-
siding at Bury, in the province of 'Hainaut, had heen
arrested on the elia-go of having murdered the
bre; her of the letter by metes of poison forcibly ad-
mioistered to him after dinner at their chatesu on
the 20th of Abet month. The investigations of justice
wird in both the sscused being committed for trial.
Since then the interest felt in the hase has ricer% to the
highest, pitch in Belgium, and hes even extereleil to
F cu 5.0.,.. Toe rank of the pieties, and the very extra-
urchnery mintier .in white the murder is alleged to
hive been committed, coutinosvia feet, to make the case
worthy of artmisaion amongst the most remarkable of
the Causes Ce,V)re.s.
Tne trial einnmenced before the Contt of Assizes of
Mons eu Tuesday, and was continued on the following
day. We have reeeived the folleWiog account of these
(Lys' proceedings. The Court 'was crowded toexcess,
arid the excitement caused by the trial amongst all classes
ff the population was strikingly great.
The Countess, de Bocatme was first placed in the
dock;
,she was dressed hi black, and is4s blittdsome
woman. Her husband was next placed near, her; he is
tall,• good-looking and of aristocratic bearing. His
voice, it wae noticed, resembled that of a boy-of 15. Both
the accused, in answer to' the _President, stated their
names; said their age was 32, and their station in life
that 'of proprietaires.
The indictment was then read. • It set forth that the
principal accused belongs to one of the first families of
the frstvinee of Hainaut, end . tliat in:::1842 he married,
;At -Petarsolza Mademoiselle Fougnies, daughter of a
retired grocer. This female had a brother, named
Gustave,• of. sKsali' hdalth; 214 from the first the Count,
it appeared, had formed the hope of inheriting the for-
tune to which he was entitled, and brinsulted a physician.
as to his chances of living. On the 20th November
last, Gustave went to dine with his sister and brother-in-
law in their château of Bitremont, and after dinner
he was found dead in the dining-room. A project had
been on foot for his marriage with te,Mdlle. de Dudzeele,
and after his body was discovered the Countess ordered a
domestic to go and inform those two coquines, Madame de
Dadzsele and her daughter, that he had died suddenly of
apoplexy. But, on examination of the body, contusions
and Berth ches were found on the cheek and nose; and on
'she cheek, the tongue, in the throat, and the stomach
traces of a corrosive liquid were discovered. The
Count having been subjected to an examination, it was
ascertained that one of his fingers bore the mark of
having been bitten, and that his nails had a slight stain
of red, as if of blood caused by a scratch on flesh. An
analysis of the contents of deceased's stomach proved
that he had been, poisoned by means of nicotine. It
was further ascertained that the Count during six
months had spent much time in studying the qualities
of this poison, and that, a few pays afore the death of
Gustave, be had been in possession of two phials of it,
which could not afterwards be found. The Countess,
on being questioned, formally accused her husband of
having caused the death of her brother, and after a while
the Count himself admitted having distilled the nicotine.
The indictment went on to show. that, in marrying Mdlle.
Fougnies, toe Count had not obtained the fortune he had
xpected, as he only received with tier 2,000 r a-year from
tier hither; his own income was 2,40t)1. But, notwith-
t..nding their resources were so small, they lived in
grand style, and the Count kept a mistress. He bor-
rowed about 40,000 r. from his notary, which have not yet
been paid. In 1845, the father of bis wife died, and left
ear 5,000 f. a-year; but their expenses continued to
increase, and they were obliged to make sales of the pro-
perty from which the wife's incense was derived. They,
nowever, still remained considerably in debt, and were re-
duced to such extremity that the Count was obliged to
pledge some of his wife's jewels for 4001. in the Mont
de Pikii at Brussels. Their only hope of salvation
from ruin was the early death of the brother without
heirs, but this was destroyed by his avowed intention
of miser) ing. They attempted to prevent the mar-
riage, and the Countess wrote two letters to her
brother, calumniating his intended wife. ' Their
efforts, however, failed. It was then that the Count
begin to study the qualities of poisonous plants, and es-
pecially of nicotine. He made attempts to produce the
latter, but, not having immediately succeeded, sought the
advice of a professor of chemistry. After ten days and two
slights labour, he, in November last succeeded in making
for hiinselt two phials of nicotine. A few days later he, in
answer to his wile's questions, admitted that he bad been
waking that poison, and said that he would take care not to
tail " to do the businessot Gustave." Outhe 20th Gustave
arrived at the ct llama in the morning, and the Countess
pissed the day with him with.ut iutorming him of the
danger he was in. At dinner she, contrary to her usual
custom, sent her eldest daughtereand the governess to
dine in the latter's room. She also Sent away bar coach-
man on some frivolous pretext. She ordered her maid,
who was to wait at table, to retire after the second
service. This servant, Em&rance, having gone at dusk
to the dining room to inquire if lights were required,
Was answered, " No, ne," both by the Countess and her
husband. Shortly after another servant heard Gustave
cry for help from the dining-room, and exclaim, " Ohl
pardon, Ilippolyte!" Almost at the same moment she
saw the Countess leave the dining-room, and close the
kitchen door, so as apparently to prevent the cries froin
being heard.
The indictment then dwelt on the fact that as the
poison must here been forcibly administered to deceased,
it was impossible that it_ could have been done by only
one pram. It next asserted that the Count and Countess
were the only persona in the dining-room at the time the
cries of deceased were heard. It quoted a letter written
secretly in the prison on the 12th March last by Bocarml,
to a friend at Peels, in which he-charged his wife with
having committed the crime, and then attempting to
throw the whole guilt on him. It stated that he had
made the same assertion to the gaoler.
The indictment further proceeded to state that after
the murder the Countess had carefully caused to be
washed some of the clothes of deceased and of her hus-
band; that she had had his crutches (he was lame)
washed, and afterwards burned; and that she had also
burned his waistcoat and cravat. She, moreover, had
caused the floor of the dining-room to be carefully
washed. The indictment concluded by stating that she
had declared that if she had prepared or facilitated the
poisoning she bad only done so because she had been
towed by her husband.
The President then.proceeded to interrogate Madame
&weenie.
Atter giving details of the pecuniary situation of her
hasbaud and herself, from which it appeared that they
were greatly embarrassed, the said that they did not
live happily together, owing to his licentious habits
end his c xtravagance. lie had occupied himself, iu
1850,
with the culture of venomous plants, and had
made her : write for different specimens of them under
assumed names. When she hal remarked that that was
at' ange, he had struck her, and said that ho did it to get
them cheaper. lie had made her assist in preparing the
nicotine.
The President--Did he say what it was for?—Yes,
he said that it was to do the business of Gustave.
Did he afterwards say nothing snore?—Yes, he said,
" When I shall catch that scoundrel, I will not fail to do
fur him! "
The accused then stated that her husband had tried
and especially on a cat, which
his poisons on animals,
had died.
The President—On the 20th November, the day on
which your brother died, t y net inform your husband
of his arrival ?—Yes, and be said that he would do his
business for him—that it was his last day.—(Sensation.)
What did you say then ?—I said that it was abomin-
able—that he could not do ouch a thing. "Eh!" be an-
swered me, " we are unfortunate, and will you make our
children poor ?"
That was his reply
?—Yes sir. Ever since our mar-
riage he had calculated on inheriting the fortune of my
p
brother, and had consulted physicians relative to the
health of Gustave. • ;' -
Had Gustave announced his marriage to you two days
before the 20th?—Yes, sir. I had at first opposed it on
account of his health, but, seeing him resolved, I said
nothing more. • . -
The accused then said that, on the 20th,she had sent
the governess to dine in her own room, because she, her
husband, and her brother had some business affairs to
discuss. Her children had ceased to dine at her table
some time before. The coachman had been ordered to
go on a message, not at dinner time, bat early in the
morning. She and her husband had partaken of the same
dishes and wines as her brother. The conversation at
table was friendly. She bad not passed some time
before the dinner in conversation with her brother. She
had ordered the servant Entkance to retire after the
second service, because business affairs had to be 'dig-
cusled. The dinner was over at half.past four. She,
her husband, and brother had then conversed by the
fireside. .
The President—When EnDirance came to ask if
you did not require candles, did you not tell her to go
up to the children?—l do not recollect.
Did your husband not go out to order a tilbury to be
got ready for your brother?—Gustave wished to leave.
When your husband returned to the dining-room you
were conversing with your brother?—Yes„
Did not y, ur husband then rush on him, and knock
him down?—Yes, sir; and ran away. I, however, saw
my husband take him by the shoulders, and heard the body
of Gustave fall on the floor.
Describe the position.—My husband took him by the
shoulders; that is all I saw.
Did not Gustave cry, "Oh, oh! pardon, Hippolyte ?"
I was not in the dining-room, but in an adjoining room;
I was terrified. I had closed the door, in.order not to hear
the cries. Hippolyte opened the door of the dining-
room • I heard the death-rattle in the throat—at least I
feacied so. My husband told me to bring him him some
warm water. Emerance then came down stairs. and I
told her to go back to the children. She held ono of
the children by the hand. .1 took the warm water to
my husband, and then went to fetch some cold water. I
did not see him drink.
Did you not then wash your hands with some black
soap?--No, sir, it was a later period I did so.
In what state was your lusband?—His hair was in
disorder, and he wee greety, agitated.
DA you ask him the cause of his agitation?=-Yes,
and he did not reply, but he made a singular gesture;
his clothes smelt strongly.
Did not Ltki MO shortly after give you a glass of

VIOLENT SHOCK TO TRADE.
Unreasonable people are complaining grievously of the
present state of business; they say they can sell nothing, and get
no orders ; others are going oil as If trade was at its best and doing
more than their share. Those who are doing nothing, find variou-
causes for their paucity of trade. Come says it was the repel' of the
corn-laws ; another says it is the Great Exhibition ; a teird it is the
Popish ageression ; a fourth it is the Kafir war; a filth that it Is the
sate o. France; and so they run the gauntlet through fif'y alleged
cause., while the right one is kept out of view altogether. Giles Go.;
a-tient built. twelve ?muses, from which he was to derive his income.
but being a w ude year wit;iout letting one house, he considered
hanself a loser of six h-mdre pounds London had overbuilt itself,
to:, many people live 1 Mom house. Everliody took lodg figs so -ate
t xes : the wlidow art, y ,art twenty other eattes passed throughttiles's
mind; but a neighbour took ilia libe ty of calling h s attt Minn to
the real one—the, were ten pounds per ainium too much rent.
Giles took the hint, thought four hundred ,nd eighty poun s was a
better income than -nothin7, lowered the rent,- and let theta all
imme late!,-. Besides that, he found his four hundred and eighty

Strugje against the change of system, they will stick for large
profits, and the day for large profits is gone by. Since E.
MOSES and SON set the example of tra ling with large capital,
and throwing all the advantages of that capital into the hands .if
the publ c by adopting small prifilts, it has opened the eyes of the
public to their true Interest. Those who attempt t > trade up
the old system gradually lose their customers ; but let any one
step into the Establishment of E. MOSES and SON, will they
see anything like a paucity of business there? No. On the con-
trary, hundreds of hands are actively employed, there is an
immense stock el' the finest clothing in the woad constantly going
off, and as rapitili being replace.!, and all arising from their being
content with. small profits and turning out first-rate articles forty per
cent less than used to be charge i under the old system. It is nei-
ther the Papal Aggression, nor the repeal of the Corn-laws, nor the
Great Exhibition, nor the Kafir war, nor the state of France, that
makes bssiness with some people bad. It is the folly of at empting
to keep up the t.ysiem of large profits. Trade has had a shock, hut
it was electric, and should have been, and would have been, benefi-
cial to all alike, had all acted properly; but those only who, at
once, like E. MOSE't and SON, adopted the system of small profits
on good articles, and large , returns, reaped the advantage of the
change, and the pubilc-will stand by them who set the example.

Llaa you cot previously met your husband at the
bottom of the staircase, with Etre ance, and did ho not
say—" Gustave is ill! Vinegar! vinegar !"—Yes.
Did he speak to you in a low tone of voice?---No
Did he say, in a low tone," Cry for help!"--It is pos-
sible that he did.
In answer to other questions, the accused stated what
she had done to remove the traces of the nicotine
on the clotbe3 and floor. Her husband had confessed
to her that he had committed a erima, hut suppli-
cayd her cot to betray him. He had also said
that his only fear of being discovered arose from the
scratches he had made on the face of deceased. 4
to the nicotine, he said that he was perfectly tran-
quil, as there was no means of. discovering its presence.
Ile had wished to show herthe corpse of her brother, but
she bad refused,notviithstattding his violence. All that she
had consented to do was. to burn or wash certain things
which were stained with the nicotine. Her husband bad
feared that be would be arrested, and bad said to hcr,
" If anyohe tells y ou that I have made a confession do not
believe. it; • .justice often employs that trick to obtain
.evideficti. I will take, if necessary, two celebrated ad-
vocates of Paris, and I am sure that nothing can happen
tome, as they can discover nothing,' for nicotine leaves
no truce bitdedit."
This conchated the interrogetoij of the female pri-
soner, and the Court rose.

[PRICE SD.

1 you of such a crime? What intere3t can the mother of
Lyourchildren have in so doing?—l do not know why-my
wife accuses me.
If she knew you to be innocent her accusing you
would only aggravate her own position.—lt is a sy,tem
of defence which she adopts.
You have said that year wife dreids the truth; what
do you mean by that remark?—She knows what I mean.
Do you know who was the author of the crime ?—Yes,
Sir. I do (great sense tion).
Who was it?-4 was my wife (general movenaent in
the court); but she is inrice2nt, sne did not know what
iiho was doing.
With what ryas Guitave petioned?—With nicotine.

Did you not throw Gustave on the grcutirl?—f did
not. Thu.° was a dispute about a trust died between
Gustave and me. I will explain all the circumstances.
I put my hand on the mouth of Gustave in order to pre-
vent his crying out, and in order to avoid e. Acanda.e.
Was it not more probable that you put the poison
into his mouth when you placed your hind on it?—My
wife poisoned us without knowing it; the bottle and the
glasses were brought by her; she thought that she was
giving us wine.
The bottle which 'contained the nicotine was therefore
in the dining-room? The victim cried out, " Pardon,
Hippolyte." ,Your wife and three of the servants heard
it. Your wife left the room in a few minutes after, at
the moment when Gustave was expiring. Will you ex-
plain yourself on these points?—As I took some of the
same drink I fell almost senseless on the floor, and I
heard the rattle of a person about to expire.
But von do not tell us what was the reason of Gustave
crying out ?—I do not know the cause, baying been
stupified by the drink. I think, however, I recollect that
after my wife had. pounding out the glasses at the side.

moreover, there are seine white wines that are very dark.
Is there not a smell with nicotine which might have
been discovered when it was held to the nose?—She did
not smell to it.
How is it that your wife does not give the same ac-
count of things as you do?—These circumstances are so
extraordinary that I have always thought that no one
would believe what was said.
If Gustave had died in consequence of an act of im-
prudence, it would not be a crime; the law would only
punish that involuntary act by a correctional penalty.
Did you not say in your room that you was determined
to get rid of Gustave?—l never said that. My wife
dares not speak the truth; she is afraid.
Did not your wife leave the room at the moment
when Gustave uttered the cry ?—I heard not nothing but
the death-rattle; I saw nothing around me; I was lying
on the floor.
Was Gustave dead when you left the dining-room?—
I cannot say. A glass of warm water was brought me,
in order to neutralise tho effect of what I had drunk.
My wife is wrong in adopting the line of defence she
has done, and in not relating things as they really took
place.
The President (to Mme. de Bocarme)—Prisoner, what
have you to say to what has been just stated ?—There
is not a word of truth in it.
Did you not take a bottle and two glasses, in order to
give drink to your husband and brother ?—No,! there is
not a word of truth in what has been stated.—(Great
sensation.)
You really did not use either a bottle or glasses ?—I
did not.
But if Gustave had been poisoned by you in-
voluntarily ?—I should have said so long since. (Mine.
de Bocarra hero clasped ber hands together, and wept
bitterly.)
The President (to M. de Bocarmi)—Will you explain to
us where you got the bite which you had on your hand?
—I was probably bitten by Gustave, when I placed my
hand on his mouth to prevent him from crying out.
That is a singular way of rendering assistance. You
then wished that the unfortunate man should die with-
out receiving any help?—l wished to avoid the scandak
of such an affair.—(Sensation.)
In what part of the room did Gustave fall?—I am not
quite certain, but I think it was between the door and
the itag?re.

SECOND DAY. •
The President took the chair at half-past nine, and
continued the interrogatory of Mrae..de Bocarm4.
The President--. You said-yesterday that your husband
bad told you to look at the victim and see whether the
nicotine had ruts from the-snonth?—Yes, he did so, but
I did not obey him, Wand he looked at me very savagely.
(M.-de Became smiled at this reply.)
Did you not send for a medical man after the death
of Gustave ?—yes, Sir, I did so by desire of my husband.
Wei not that done pour jouer la eon:Eche ?—Probably
it was. (Madame de Bocarmi here appeared to be much
embarrassed,' and rumpled up her pocket handkerchief
in great agitation.)
])id the doctor remark that there were symptoms of
poisoning?—No, Sir.
Did not your husband take some warm water in order
to make him vomiti—Yes, Sir.
The President then ordered M. de Bocarm6 to stand
up, when the prisoner said, in reply to questions put to
him, that when he married Mlle. Fougnies, he was igno-
rant that the family had brought about the marriage
through ambition. He was to have received 2,000 f. a-
y ear front his father-in-law, but the first year was not
paid. In May, 1850, his pecuniary position was very
embarrassed; he had pledged some diamonds at Brussels
for 400 f. He had money due to him to the amount of
104,000 f. He owed 14,0001 to a notary for money bor-
rowed.
The President—Did you not call on an avocet at
Brussels in October, 1850, to know whether, having
debts to the amount of 300,000 francs, you could not by
means of a fictitious sale giA rid of those liabilities?—l
wished to know whether, having such debts, I could
leave my property to my children.
The President (to Mine. de Bocarme)—l have put
questions to your husband, founded on what you said in
your preliminary examination—has he given a true
answer?—No, Sir, he has not stated things as they ac-
tually took place.—(Sensation.)—What I have before
stated was the truth.
To further questions put by the President,
M. de Bocarrc4 stated that he had never coveted the
property of any one; he was not at at all tempted by the
fortune of Gustave. He might be reproached with pro-
digality but not with avarice. His reason for consulting
a medical man as to the probable duration of the life of
Gustave, was that he had been requested to do so by
an aunt of his brother-in-law. He had never used any
violence, towards his wife, nor had be ever struck her
with his fists. He had had a very angry discussion with '
her one day, but he had never struck her. (The female
prisoner here shed tears.)

The President—Did you ever seize your wife by the
throat?—No, Sir.
Did not Mme. Chereguefosse tell you that if you did
not change your conduct you would ooze to the scaf-
fold?—No, Sir. _ _

Did you'not; on one occasion, drag your wife along
the ground in the garden?—No; Sir; what took place
was this. My wife one day spoke to a domestic in the
passage, and ordered him to go and polish the floor in
her bedroom. I objected to this, and she put herself
into a violent passion.
In reply to further questions put by the President, he
admitted that be had bad criminal connexion with a
girl named Celestine Lupin, by whom he had a child.
He had never compelled his wife to receive this fruit of
his illicit connexion at the chateau. She willingly con-
sented to do so.

The President (to Mme. de Bocarme)—Were you not
compelled to receive this child?—Yes; sir, be told me
that unless I did so he 'would hare a separation.
From the further replies of the prisoner, it appeared
that he had caused his wife, but without violunee, to
sign a letter by which she consented to receive the child
in question.

Luring this part of the interrogatory, Mme. de Bo-
earir. covered her face with her hand, iu order to screen
herself from the view of the auditory.
The female prisoner, in reply to a further question of
the prisoner, declared that she had been compelled to
sign the letter.

The President—We shall return again to theso facts,
and now proceed to others. Did you not say on tho 23d
February, to the witness ,Vanderskreuz, in the prison at
Tourney, that you could speak of your ,wire without
accusing her; that you threw Gtistave on.the ground to
give him poison, that you had given it to,ltim twice, and
that the second time he kit ,on yop?—lTe is mistaktia;
he misrepresents our couveristion,. ithotiA wishing to
do so. '1(

Thy. President then reminded the prisoner of a letter
which be had written to a M. Crans, residing at No. 5, Rue
St. Hyacinthe, at Paris, and in which be gave that gen-
tleman some commissions to execute for him. That let-

ter contained a note, clandestinely slipped into it, in
which the prisoner begged that M. l3crryer should not be
engaged to plead for his wife. He said that the Countess,
after having poisoned her brother, throw till the blame
on him. It would appear from thi:4 note, added the
President, that your wife committed the crime intention-
ally, while you just now said the contrary.—The circum-
stances of the case are so extraordinary, that it is perhaps
impossible that the truth can be known, .

i'our note adds, that the-i-ccusation of your wife is 0,0
consequence of the moral constraint in which she finds
herself; what do you mean by this moral coostrait.t?
The whole contents, in fact, of your note represent the
fact of the 20th November as a crime. _

THE MAHRIACIE STATE.
" To bo or not to be, that is the question."

The interrogatory then turned on the chemical studies
of M. de Bocartte. He said that since 1842 he had not
occupied himself with chemical experiments, and had
got rid of his instruments, but ho had sinco studied
poisonous plants.
The President—What was your object for so doing?
—I wished to go and rejoin my father in America, to
carry on business in such plants. It was for that reason
that I put myself in communication with some dealers
at Ghent.

The clothes which the-deceased were on the day when
the crime was committed were hero shown to the pri3o-
ner, when he explained that a great quantity of vinegar
had been used to get out the stains of the nicotine; and
vinegar had been also used to prevent the effects of the
poison.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
Commander Phillip Somerville (1848), not Com-
mand. r P. H. Somerville (1642), as generally reported,
has becn appointed an inspecting commander of the
Cost Guard. He entered the navy in 1824, passed his
examination in 1830, and obtained his first commission
Ai 1831. As a lieutenant he sere., d in the Wellesley.

13,11eisle, 72, and Collingwood, 80. He served in the
Chinese hostilities, and was honourably mentioned in
Lord Gough's dispatches.
Commodore Lord J ihn Hay, C. 8., struck his flag on
board the St. George, 120, in Ilamosze, on Monde),
evening, at sunset, and proceeded on leave of absence for
a few days. During his absence the duty of the dock-
yard will In performed by Mr. Mills, master-attendant,

Tiger, a new steamer of 400;horse power. navigated
to Portsmouth from Woolwich some time ago, and
now lying in the old basin, got up her steam yester-
day to try her engines. She is • a fine capacious ves-
sel, but, as we have before steted, has the Sidoe's
propensity to list over ; indeed, a short time after her
arrival, the coal being-tin, qually divided in her bunkers,
there was said to be much danger at one time of her
falling right over. In cons( queue of this she has re-
,eived extensive alterations, her coal-bunkers, which
came up on each side to the under part of her weather-
deck, have been lowered, and her main-deek made flush
'ore and eft ; two port holes have been cut about the
midship part ofi her main-deck, and two heavy guns
will be removed to these ports from her weather-deck,
whereby her top weight will be decreased. She is rigged
and will be tried at Spithead shortly.
The American frigate, St. Lawrence, Commodore
Sands, wus towed out of Southampton waters early yesl
terday morning, by the Echo. When off the Kittker
point a westerly breeze sprung up, the steamer was cast
eff, and the frigate made sail. In passing through Spite
head anchrrage the St. Lawrence saluted the flag of
Admiral Sir 'laden Capri, IC C. 8., with thirteen guns,
which the Victory returned with a similar number. She
proceeds to Cherbourg.
The Turkish war-steamer the Feizi Baari, with Ad-
miral Mustafits flag fit ing from her main, arrived yes-
terday morning, from Woolwich, and anchored near the
other Turkish vessels at Spithead. The squadron will
now proceed on their voyage home to Constantinople.
, The anchor-boy built for Bermuda, and to be called
the D,:vonport, was launched from the masthouse-slip at
IX:vonport, yesterday morning, and will be ready for
sea about the middle of the present month.
PORTSMOUTH, JUNE 3.—The Devastation steam-
sloop, Commander C. Y. Campb-11. adjusted her com-
passes to-day, sad will go to Spithead on Thursday.
The Turkish Admiral went off from the dockyard
this afternoon to the frigate at Spithead, ander a -salute
from the Victory. •

The President—Did you not cause your wife to write
to these dealers, anti sign your name?—Yes; I thought
t might do so, es she was my wife. My object in study-
ing the nicotine was to discover the best quality of to-
bacco, which was proved by the quantity of nicotine it
contained. I thought that study might be useful to my
father, who cultivated tobacco in America.
The President—ln the division of property which you
lately made with your brother you expressed a wish to
retain the château of Bitremont—that did not look 29

The President—But if you knew that Gustave was
dead, the application of your vinegar was useless. You
uttered cries when your servants approached, and you
deplored the death of Gustave when, a few minutes
before, you had dismissed Emerance in ill humour be-
cause she brought lights. Were not those lamenta-
tions feigned, particularly when it is known el, what
hostile terms you and Gustave were? The prisoner made
no reply.
The President—lt was probably for the purpose of
playing la romedie, as your wife yesterday said.
After some few other questions of no particular inte-
rest, the Court adjourned to the next day.

if you had any intention of quitting Belgium.—l wished
to leave my property here to my wife and children.
Did you not purchase, in May, 1850, the chemical
works of M. Orfila and M. Beynault?—l did, Sir, in
order to study the qualities of poisonous plants.
Its reply to further questions from the President, he
said that ho had entered into correspondence with a cop-
persmith at Ghent, in order to procure some vessels of
which he was in want. He had, on that occasion, as-
sumed the name of B‘ran, under the idea that ho might
obtain the articles cheaper than if he had given his real
name. He had consulted M. Lobens on. the manner of
extracting poison from plants, and requested him to give
him some lessons in chemistry. M. Lobens knew him
by the name of B6ran, as the coppersmith had introduced
him to that gentleman by that name, not knowing him
by any other.
The President—How much nicotine did you extract
from the quantity of tobacco which you purchased?
—About seven phials full.
For what purpose did you intend that nicotine?—lt
was the result of my experiments.
I ask you to what purpose you intended it?—l have
already told you, Sir.
No. You have not done so. I now ask you where
you put those phials?—l put them by.
Fur what purpose, I again ask, did you intend them?
—With a view to the trade in tobacco.
In reply to further questions, the prisoner said that
he had placed the phials in a cupboard; that ho some-
times carried the key in his pocket, and at other times
left it on the mantel-piece of the saloon; that he was
not aware whether any one knew where he had put those
phials, but it was possible they might, and that he had
emptied them when the apparatus was cleaned.
The President here observed, that the prisoner, on
his preliminary examination before the examining ma-
gistrate, had spoken of only three phials, whereas he
no wmentioned seven.

The President-lOu told your servants, while you
were extracting this nicotine, that you were making Eau
de Cologne, and charged them not to speak of it, as you
might be fined for distilling without having a patente.
Did you not also tell your wife that you wished to get
rid of Gustave Fougnies?—lt is an infamous calumny.
I cannot conceive how my wife can maintain such an as-
sertion. If I had wished to poison her brother, should
I have said so much to her who loved him?
You did not then like him?—l felt an indifference
towards him.
The interrogatory now turned on the fact of the pri-
soner having tried the effect of the nicotine on one or
more cats, and, in reply to a question of the President,
the prisoner said that be had poisoned a cat belonging to
the chateau, and another which ho first said his wife
had brought to him for that purpose, and afterwards
that she had employed a woman in the neighbourhood to
get it.
The President—Did you poison any cat before you
went to Ghent?—Yes, both before and after.
On Mdme. de Bocarai being questioned ras to whe-
ther she had ever taken a cat to her ht...sband, or
ordered one to be procured for him, she phitively de-

The President took the chair at 1U o'clock, and the
prisoners were introduced. The interrogatory of M. de
Ilocarrn4 vas continued,

The President—Your wile has said that you wiped up
the floor with two handkerchiefs; that you gave the
poison, and the floor had been scraped; by whom was
that done?--I do not know.

Did you not burn one of your handkerchief _?--I (Fd
not.

is evident that a strong feeling of hatred Icas felt by you
against your brother-in-law; a letter written by your
mother proves this fact. She says, " I deeply regret
the di,cussions which take
.place betwe en you, your
wife, and 11ippolyte; there rs nothing in the world so
deplorable as dissensions and dist:nerds:ins between bro-
thers and sisters."

The prisoner—That was a recor ainendation given by
my mother to Gustave ; but tiler e were never any dis-
euisions.

The President—You know tb. at your wife accuses you.
How can you account for thr
brings against you?—My wif 1 accusations which she
a fears to speak the truthfroma dread of being compromised; she does not wish
it to be known how her brc Cher died.
But how can you suppos a it possible for your wife to
hate a heart batbarous ar id inhuman enough to accuse

Surgeon—A. Cross.
Paymaster and Purser—Charles Walker.

Did your wife burn one?—l am not aware that iho
The President—M. Stors in his report says, that the
poison was poured into the mouth of the victim while ho
was lying on the ground, and this report agrees with the
communication which you made in the prison at Tourney.
What have you to say to this?—l could not have made
the remarks attributed to me; my wife being inuckeent, I
could not have said that she had poured the poison into
her brother's mouth. I have always declared that my
wife was innocent.
But did you not say that it was your wife who had I
poured out the poison?--Yes, I said that, but nothing
else.
But you contradict yourself. You maintain that your •
wife is innocent, and you agree that she twice poured
out the poison.—l have always 'aid that mywife poured
out the poison without knowing it.
The keeper of the prison to whom you made revela-
tions stated in your presence, when you were confronted
with him, that you had told him that your wife had
poured the poison into the mouth of the victim?—lf I
told him so I stated what was not true.—(Agitation.)
Why then did you not explain yourself better? —1
said that I should wait to explain myself before the
court of justice, because I felt indignant at seeing that
I was made to talk while some one was at the same
time placed to listen to what I said.
Did you not say to the same gaoler that you had taken
warm water after having swallowed the poison in orthr
to make you vomit; and did you not make a similar
remark to the brigadier of gendarmery f—No, I did not
say so; my remarks have been incorrectly reported.
Did you not speak 1) these persons of the bottle and
the two glasses which were mentioned for the first time
yesterday ?—I did not.
You wrote to your wife when in the prison at Toumay,
and after inquiring after her health, and whether she
had any money, you add the words :
~
me anymore; you and which words Do not reply to
_n signed with a cross.
Had you written to her before?—No, Sir; and I did not
ask for any answer.
That, however, is not what you said in your lett( r.
What did you mean by signing with a cross ?—I do not
exactly know; perhaps it

Will you explain how you passed the day of the 20th
November?—lt was about seven o'clock that any bus- i
band cargo to announce to Luc the arrival of Gustave. I
got up at nine o'clock. We breakfasted at ten, and we
afterwards conversed together.
When did you again see Gustave?—At dinner.
How do you explain the absence of your servants and
your children?--My children were usually in the room 1
of their governess.
The male prisoner, rising quickly, here said—My wife
was in the habit of sending away the servants when any
persons dined with us, in order to allow a greater tree-
dom of conversation.
The President—You are not under interrogation, i
Lydie Fougnies; state why Emerance was sent to her
room I—She was in the habit of going there.
When she came to light the lamps, did you not say

Your husband accuses you of having p-ttred the
poison into Gustave's mouth.—(M. de BOCarlile here rose
to speak.) Sit down and be silent. (To tho fem ale
prisoner)—What do you reply?—No, it was not I who
gave it.

The President here read a passage from the report of
M. Stag, which declares that the organa of Gustave

clusion that a large quaritity of nicotine had been intro-
duced into his b,ltly, sad bed profoundly injured

the boards of the dining-room, now in court, they
smelt strongly of vinegar. The two prisoners were per-
fectly calm when ho arrived, but the male prisoner be-
came confused afterwaroe, and did nut account satisfac-
torily- for the death of his brotherein-law. During the
investigation, the count wrote a note, which the witness
handed up to the President, and which was conceived
nearly in these terms .
My dear wife, ask the examining magistrate to
allow you to send mo news of your health.
How do you
occupy youreeir. Is it long siuce you saw Gonzales
and our little girls? How. are they Why do you
display such bad sentiments towards me! You have
no confidence in me, as if I were your enemy.
You cannot, however, find a better supporter than I am.
Read the passage 72 of the Paruissien Remain, verse 13,
and inflow the advice you will find there. It is that
which marks out my route—let it do so for yours also.
Let us take the same path, and we shall find ourselves
safe and sound."
'Cho President asked the examining magistrate what
the verse referred to was?—The magistrate replied that
it was to the effect that " every kingdom divided against
itself will soon perish, and that every house divided
will soon fall down."—The magistrate then went
on to say that in the confrontation which took place
between the accused during the examination Madame
de Bocarati seemed to him to speak the truth when she
declared herself innocent of the crime. Her husband
replied, whenever he was told that she accused him
" Well! lot her accuse me, but let her explain; Waite can,
to justice how the thing took place."
Questioned by the advocates of the female prisoner as
to her morality, the examining magistrate declared that
he had made investigations respecting her past character,
and•believed it to be irreproachable. When she began
to accuse her husband, he said she wept a great deal, and
exclaimed, " What a misfortune that I cannot defend
myself without accusing my husband:" On the other
hand, M. de Bocarm6 said, " I cannot: defend myself
without compromising my wife! '
This evidence closed the sitting.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, June 3.
(Before Mr. Commissioner EvArcs.)
IN RE 'MITTEN.
The bankrupt, described as Thomas Britten, of
Suffolk-lane, Cannon-street, wine merchant, came up for
his last examination. The balance-sheet, commencing on
the Ist of 'January, 1850, and ending on the 22d of
March, 1851, shows the following itcms :—Creditors,
5,5061; ditto. holding security, 9,0384; profits, 1241.;

terest, 4274; losses, 1,3794; deficiency, on the tat of
January, 1850, 7,499/.
Mr. Sewell appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Low-
rance supported the bankrupt, who passed without op-
position, and in consequence of the services rendered by
the bankrupt in realizing the estate. and with the con-
sent of the assignees, his Honour ordered 25/. to be paid
to him out of the estate, as a remuneration.
(Before Mr. Commissioner iiOLROTD.)
IN YrE TREGO.
The bankrupt, described. es William Trego, of Cole-
man-street, in the city of London, builder, came up for
his last examination, but in consequence of a large dis-
crepancy in'the accounts it was again adjourned.

IN RE PEACOCK.
The bankrupt, Richard Peacock, cf No. 1, Ladbroke-
grove, in the county of Middlesex, plumber and glazier,
came up on the questio of certificate.
MNan• sea Mr. Gant supported; and Mr. Link-
al-later on behilf of the arAignee., and Mr. Williams, a
creditor for 7001., opposed.
'Joseph Miller, examined by Mr. LINKLATER—Lived
five minutes' walk from the bankrupt's premises. Had •
worked for him 'ip to the time of the baekruptcy. Did
notliell a Mr. Woolridge anything about the removal of
property. Knew nothing ot removal of goods to Brixton.
Never told anybody he aid. A portion of the bankrupt's
goods were bought by bankrupt's brother.
By Mr. MORGAN—Knew Inehard Jones; had said no-
thing to him in cannexion with the bankruptcy.
Joseph Emery. examined by Mr. LINKLATER—Was
a joiner, and had been in ti,e employ ot the bankrupt.
Did not recollect the removal of any goods. Did not send
a horse end cart fir that purpose. Never had directions
from the bankrupt to send one. Knew nothing about the
removal of some varnish, oils, &c.
By Mr. MORGAN—Always heard that the bankrupt
was an honest hard-working men, and that was his re-
putation in the neighbourhood.
Mr. LINKLATER, in addressing the Court, said that
upon the last examination the assignees had failed to
establish a direct removal of the goods, he therefore
mast apply himself to the general circumstances of the
case. Mr. Williams had more right to complain than
the assignees as to the general conduct of the bankrupt,
as the whole of his debt (7000 was for money lent at a
moderate rate of interest, and he thought the bankrupt
was carrying on a prosperous business. The bankrupt,
however, had always been trading with a load upon hie
shoulders, and a large deficiency was accounted for by
sundry estimated emensee. ilia books were badly
kept, and there had been a deal of
accounts, 5001 of his expenses were vouched, and
guess-work in the3la
was guessed at. With regard to the bill given by the
bankrupt to Mr. Chapman, the official
assidlivorember,

Mr. MORGAN, for the bankrupt,t,
said
to the biil transaction, he admitted his
wrosi,g from , but it was more frosttupierdity client
fraudulent than knavery,
and -that he had no corrupt
tire. With respect also to the bookkeeping, that was
not very correct,
but 9sas good as that of persons
generally in the same sphereof
had utterly failed.life as the bankrupt.
The evidence as to removal ot. goods
A want of prudence had characterized the whole of the
bankrupt's proceedings, bat nothing worse; he had ren-
d credirery aabistancc to the official assignee, and as he
had a family of five children to support, and as no case
of fraud had been established against him, he prayed the
Court to grant a certificate.
Hie HONOCR, in disposing of the ease, said that witg
respect to the removal of property, that charge had
failed, and he thought the failure more complete than O.
a former occasion. As regarded the general features of
the case, there were two grounds upon which the Court
was called upon to suspend the bankrupt's certificate.
In alluding to the bill transaction, it appeared that the
bankrupt gave a bill to Mr. Chapman after the bank-
ruptcy, and then it was ante-dated; thus an endeavour
was made to impose upon the Court, and to make lb!"
appear truth which was untruth. This bill was given
November, and ante-dated in March, as the era;
showed. He should in consequence feel hound
