FRANCE.

PARIS, Dec. 5.

Towards the close of the sitting in the French
Legislative Chamber yesterday, M. de Moustier,
after narrating the events which ensued after the
arrest of Garibaldi, said :—" The Italian Minister
then made a verbal communication to me of tho
gravest importance. He brought forward the idea
of a European Conference for the solution of the
Roman question, and proposed meantime a joint
occupation of Rome by French and Italian troops.
We took note of the first proposal and rejected the
second. If I may be allowed coarsely to express
my thoughts, I shall say we were invited not only
to take the part of a dupe, but also that of a traitor.
We therefore indignantly declined the complicity
proposed to us with a sort of bonhomie which made
it doubly insulting, From that moment the expe-
dition to Rome was decided upon."

BOURSE, Dec. 4, Two o'clock.—The tone at the
opening was cheerful, with more business ; subse-
quently quotations .exhibited a little weakness.

A Romance and Tragedy at Mun'cm.

A startling, romantic, and dreadful crime has just been
cummitted at Munich. A love-story has hardly ever
ended more tragically than this one. And the dismal tale
is not yet told. The last dismal chapter has yet to be
read. Count Chorinsky, a lieutenant in the Austrian
army, and son of the Stadt_iolder of Lower Austria,
lived in Vienna with his young wife, who was aged 28 at
the time when the event we are about to relate occurred,
and was a native of Munich. The Countess was amiable,
and a favourite with her lusband's family. Her husband,
however, was of a very different character. In a short
time the Count's conduct became such that a separation
between him and his wife became necessary. Unwilling
to place her husband's family in a position of embarass-
ment, the Countess resolved to retire to Munich, her native
place. Here, supported by an allowance from her father-
in-law. she lived in retirement and respectability in the
Amalien-Strasse for some time. On Tuesday, the 19th
November, a beautiful young lady arrived at Munich,
took rooms in The Four Seasons, one of the best hotels of
the town, and gave the name of Baroness Vay. Next day
a gentleman, ostensibly a merchant from Brunn, in
Moravia, and a friend of the Baroness. On the Thursday
after his arrival the Baroness went straight to Amalien-
Strasse, and to the lodgings of the Countess Chorinsky,
without having ever been in that quarter before,
and after having asserted that she was a total
stranger in the town. After passing the day and going
out shopping, both ladies went home to the Countess's
lodgings in Amalien-Strasse to have tea. When sitting
at tea a commissioner brought in two tickets for the play.
and the Baroness Vay, calling the landlady, desired her to
go out and order a hackney-coach, that they might drive to
the theatre together. Alter executing her commission
the landlady returned, but found no one apparently at
home. The room door was locked, and on knocking the
landlady obtained no answer. The countess did not re-
turn that evening ; the landlady became alarmed, informed
the police, and had the room door burst open
on the Saturday. Everything in the room was
found to be in its place. The arrangement of the
table was the same as it was on the Thursday night, when
the ladies had tea together, and nothing was re-
marked save the circumstance that the cup frlm
which the Countess had been drinking was empty,
while that which the young Baroness was to use was
full. The Countess was found lying dead on the floor
beside the sofa, her face marked with blood that had flowed
in a stream from her nose. There was at once a suspicion
of poison. On examination prussic acid was found, not
only in the intestines, but also in the blood of the mur-
dered lady. There was no robbery ; the Countess's
jewels had not been tampered with. It was found
out that the young Baroness had returned to
her hotel in great agitation on the Thursday night,
and that soon afterwards she set out by express train
for Vienna. The merchant from Brunn took his leave
the day after. The Countess's father-in-law, the
elder Count Chorinsky, was present at the funeral. The
son was not, for the excellent reason thatin the meanwhile
he had been arrested. His clothes being examined, it was
found that round his neck he wore a locket containing a
portrait of the so-called Baroness Vay ; for it now turned
out that this was a false name, and that the real name was
Baroness Julia Ebergenyi. She is a Hungarian by birth,
is 25 years of age and is very beautiful with blue eyes full
of gentleness. She also had by this time been arrested.
At the moment of arrest she betrayed considerable
emotion, but soon regained composure. It appears
that Count Chorinsky had formed her acquaintance
in Vienna, and had visited her secretly and often. From
the last account in the Avcnir National we learn that the
Baroness Ebergenyi lived in Vienna with an old lady who
did all in her power to prevent the visits of the Count,
and told the young lady that he was married. But
the Baroness had conceived the most irrepressible passion
for Chorinsky, was in the habit of seeing him frequently,
and of writing long letters to him when absent. She was
often known to say that the Count was going to become a
Protestant, that he might be free from his former wife
and able to marry her. But the event has shewn that
rather than forsake his religion he chose to commit, or
to be a party to the commission of murder.
The last news of the melancholy history is, that the
Baroness has made a full confession of her guilt.

THE LIVERPOOL CAB PROPRIETORS AND THE
CORPORATION.—Liverpool is threatened with a " cab
strike." The quarrel between the corporation and the cab-
owners has reference to the new regulations the former
want to enforce, by which any cabowner may charge what
he likes if he will paint his " rate " on the outside of his cab.
This proposal the cab proprietors object to most strongly.
At the meeting of the Town Council on Wednesday it was
resolved that the Hackney Coach Committee should try to
come to some arrangemeni with the cabowners, and if they
fail, the subject is to be brought before a full meetins of
the c4cils -

THE MAGAZINES. '

BIkCICWOOD.--" Brownlows " contains plenty
in this instalment to satisfy the lovers of
startling incidents and of exciting news'
The unexpected appearance of Mrs. Fres-
ton transforms the luxurious country house
into a pandemonium, and it is difficult to say which
is the most wretched and confused—the man who
has been playing a double-dealing part, or the
woman who comforts him with more zeal than dis-
cretion. " The Government and the Press" is an
able article on the political state of affairs, and there
is a great deal of truth in the remarks here Diet
with concerning the opinion the loyalist public will
form for itself of those statesmen who give good
measures, though some writers may choose to deride
them. Some well-deserved strictures are passed
upon the article in the Quarterly Review, which
entitled " The Conservative Surrender." We qui°
-agree with the concluding passage in this papers,
which declares that " the business of all lovers 0'
their country is not with the past, but with the
future. What is done cannot be undone ; and this
at least her Majesty's Ministers are justified in
saying, that, whether right or wrong in the cause
they telL themselves constrained to take, they hay?,
carried the great bulk of the party with there.
" Linda Tressel " is proceeded with. This is a quaint
style of narrative that is well told, and points a
moral to meddling and mischief-making persons
who will take the destiny of the young into their
own hands, and despise all better influences to gain
their individual purposes. " The Church—Her
State and Prospects," is an article that is sensibly
written, and seems to steer clear of religious Pre-
judice and levelling doctrines. "Nina" is a pleasing
little poem, that tells its sad tale in lines of sweet"
ness and beauty. Sir Charles Wood's Admi-
nistration of Indian Affairs" contains some hoeia
truths that will not please those who have exalted
that statesman's reputation beyoni all due bounds.
" The Conversion of England" refers to Monts'
lembert's celebrated work. " Cornelius O'Dowd"
is as entertaining as usual, and refers to those
topics which more immediately engage attention
and create interest just now.
DUBLIN.—" Sweet Anne Page" becomes more in:
teresting as it continues, and the tricks and device:
of Claudia are most strange and irritating. °ll
can readily fancy how she terrified some and cajoled
others by her schemes and stratagems. RaPbae,,i;
her brother, is another disgraceful individual, who
cares for nothing but prosecuting his own ohie
regardless of consequences, and utterly abjuring t 1
dictates of conscience. "Mrs. Frazer, the Banker
Wife," is a sad story, that contains much for the
thoughtless and careless. "John Haller's Nien
is a good story, that may be con Rdently recomrneeu,
to notice ; it is told in a pleasing manner througu.,e
out. " Pre-Historic Oxford" will please the anti-
quarian and the lover of old times by its rereiel-
scences and sketches. " The Penns and the pee
ningtons of the Seventeenth Century " cont3,ll3to
interesting reminiscences that are well calculate °
attract notice. " The Venice of Yesterday" refels

to Mr. Howell's work on the subject, which it 1
said is the standard one of the famous old Sea'Citi.
