EXTRAORDINARY 1 k::FFAIR,--OR Monday morn

ing, considerable excitem( m t was caused in the neighbour-
hood of St. Saviour's, by a report that two persons had
either been poisoned, or poisoned themselves. The fol-
lowing are all that we 'were able to learn last even-
ing :--It appears that a Pr ench gentleman, named Marin,
called on tome persons near St. Saviour's, and stated that
a young lady was lying dead in a field close by. On accom-
panying the gentleman to ti le spot pointed out, the state-
ment was found but too true ! The deceased was instantly
removed to the nearest hour ; and Mr. Marin, apparently
much distressed, was led to his home by one of the wit-
nesses of the strange affair. The Constable of St. Helier's
being applied to, quickly repaired to the lodgings of
Mr. Marin, who stated than on Saturday evening, about
eight o'clock, he left St. H clier's, accompanied by Miss
Bethell. He had previousi y taken the precaution to pro-
cure some laudanum from ; several druggists. They had
then both swallowed aqt ntity, and had gone into the
country where they remainedl all night ; but seeing the poi-
son did not operate, he hat)/ left her in the field, and pro-
ceeded to town on Sunday in. orning;', when he procured an
additional quantity of laudam gym, together with a little ar-
senic. On returning to the 1 ady, they took the laudanum
and part of the arsenic at dif 6 :rent times. In the course of
the night, Miss Bethell ex; ?i red ; but Marin, having vo-
mited several times, found si ength sufficient to enable him
to walk to the nearest house, and procure assistance, as be

fore stated. The Constab hs, we understand, had Marin
taken to prison, on learnin g the particulars here detailed.
A Coroner's Inquest will b 'e held on the body of Miss Be-
thel' some time to-day.--J( 7sey Argus.
SCENES IN THE HOL ESE.—I shall allude to only

one more scene of this kin(' I. It occurred towards the_elose
of last session. An Hon. 3 Member, whose name I suppress,
rose amidst the most tren icndous uproar, to address the
House. He spoke, and was received, as nearly as the
confusion enabled me to j' idge, as follows :—" I rise, Sir
(ironical cheers, mingled w ith all sorts of zoological sounds)
—I rise, Sir, for the pu rpo; 3e of stating that I have—
(' Oh ! oh !" Bah!' and , sot Inds resembling the bleating
of a sheep, mingled wit h la, ad laughter.) Hon. Gentle-
men may endeavour to rut nit down by their unmannerly
interruptions, but I have: a .y to perform to my con--
(ironical cheers, loud coughing sneezing, and yawning ex-
tended to an incredible lergth; followed by bursts of laugh-
ter.) I say, Sir, I have .con st ituents, who on this occasion
expect that I--(cries 4)f S.,hould sit down,' and shouts
of laughter.) They expect, Sir, that on a question of such
importance—(` ind loud laughter, followed by
cries of Order, order,' froi n the Speaker.) I tell Hon.
Gentlemen, who choose to conduct themselves in such a
way, that lam not to be put down by—(groans, coughs,
sneezings, hems, and variou s animal sounds, some of which
closely imitated the yelping of a dog and the squeaking of
a pig, interspersed with pea is of laughter.) I appeal--
eCock-e-leeri-o-co !' The imitation, in this case, of the
crowing of a cock was so remarkably good, that not even
the most staid and order] .y Members in the House could
preserve their gravity. The laughter which followed
drowned the Speaker's ,
cries of (‘ Order ! order !') I say,
Sir, this is most unbec' )fling conduct on the part of an
assembly calling itself dc Bow-wow-wow,' and bursts
of laughter.) Sir, may ask, have Hon. Gentlemen, who
can--(' Mew-mew,' at d renewed laughter.) Sir, I claim
the protection of thr, C hair. (The Speaker here again
rose and called me-.
' Or der ! order!' in a loud and angry
tone, on which th.e uproar in some measure subsided.) if
Hon. Gentlemen. Ivill only • allow Inc to make one observa-
tion, I will not trespass further on their attention, but sit
down at once. (This was followed by the most tremend9us
cheering in earnest.) I mly beg to say, Sir, that I think
this a most dangerous an d unconstitutional measure, and
will therefore vote against :it." The Hon. Gentleman then
resumed his scat amidst d et ifening applause.—Random Re-
