THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The election was proceeding with the greatest tran-
quillity. The Prefect of the seine has published a
notice that the declaration of the poll will take place
On Thursday morning, at the Hotel de Vile.
Tne following returns of votes of the army have
been made known :

Leclerc. Sue.
Paris garrison ... 83 227
Arras ... • ... ... 12 64
Sedan ... .. • •... 4 - 17
Langres ... 9 46
Bordeaux ... • 8 36
Toulouse ... ... 6 21
Ditto 24

It is impossible to form any opinion as to the pro-
bable result of the election ; as is usual in all elec-
tions where it is impossible to ascertain the state of
the poll, both parties claim a rtnjority.
M. CARLIER continues his crusade against the Re-
publican journals, and even extends his perseCution to
the Charivari, for the purpose of promoting the sale
of the Corsaire, a Legitimatist would-be joker, in the
circulation of whose "ponderous levities" M. .CAR-
MICR appears to take especial interest. The follow-
ing is the list of the journals the sale of which, except
within their own officee, and to regular subscribers,
is prohibited :
Cbariyari.
Credit.
re mocratie Paciflque.

Wittier al.
Presse.
Siiale.
Vox du Peuple.

Eatafette.
Ev6nectient.
The Jesuit journals, the Legitimatist, Orleanist, and
Bonapartist organs are alone permitted to be sold in
single numbers by newsvenders. There is not one
of these journals so permitted to be sold by M. CAR-
LIER which is not avowedly an enemy to the Republic,
which M. CARLIER has sworn to maintain. It is not
improbable but that M. CARLIER may find that he
has exposed himself to some awk ward prosecutions for
damages by his violent and, it would appear, illegal
proceedings in these matters. M. EMILE DE GI-
RAEDIN, who is not of the most forgiving disposition
in the world, has taken the opinion of M. LasiGnats,
one of the most eminent lawyers of France, and who
in political opinions belongs to the extreme section of
the reactionary party. The opinion of M. LANGLAIS
is published in the Presse, and it concludes in these
words :
"Our opinion on these questions cannot, then, be
doubtful. The evidence is conclusive that the sale of
newspapers at newspaper offices and in shops is not pro-
hibited either by the Jaws effecting booksellers or by the
law of 1849. Colon hge (hawking) is alone subjected
to authorisation. Such is the manliest spirit of the law.
The police claims a right which is exorbitant, which has
never been before set up, and which is impossible. The
establishment of this arbitrary regime, which would put
its hand upon the sale of journals, in all its modes and
forms, ought to hare for its warrant a formal text and a
special vote, and ought not to be done by surprise and
misunderstanding. Now not only has the Legislature not
given expressly the right to the police to interdict the
sale of journals within doors, but it has proclaimed in
formal terms, by organ of the reporter of the commis-
sion, that the • 6th clause does not apply to the venders
a domicile.' What can be more clear? The right of the
proprietors of the press is, then, certain, and we confi-
dently think that such right will be confirmed by the
tribunals."

The Napoleon has the following :
" Agriculture is still in a state of great suffering.
What specially causes the low price of corn is the un-
certainty with respect to the future, of which the end is
not seen. Speculators, who had purchased rather large
quantities to sell. later, have lett for some time past the
corn in the market or with the producers, and seem to
abandon all chance of profit. In order to remedy the
double inconvenience of capital without circulation, and
corn below value, the Government has imagined and
authorised leans on corn, convinced that the slightest
rise in the price of that article would produce in favour
of agriculture a result of which superficial observations
do not give an idea, but which clearly appears from the
following table :
" When the kilogramme of bread is
at 20c., France disburses 1,460 millions
at 30c., „ 2,070 „
at 400., ff 2,555 „
at 50c., ff 3,650 ~
Thus, according to small variations, France may have to
pay two milliards. more or less, to agriculture for bread
in the course of a year. This enormous difference
made it the duty of the Government to seek the means
of raising the price of corn. It believes that it has found
it in loans on flour. Such a simple explanation will, no
doubt, put an end to the passionate criticism of certain
journals." _ _ _ _

In w bat, as far as principle is concerned, does this
notable scheme for enhancing the price of bread, and
thus robbing the poor and industrious bread-eater for
the benefit of the large landowner, differ from the
Socialist schemes for the organization of labour, and
for the formation of loan banks. Yet these are so de-
nounced by the gentlemen who have concocted the
above scheme (which almost seems to have been sug-
gested by some members of the English aristocracy)
fur their own especial benefit. In each case money
is proposed to be taken from the taxes, to which all
contribute, to be expended for the benefit of a few
individuals, to the damage and injury of the re-
mainder of the tax-payers. The only difference is,
that the Socialists propose to give to the poor the pro-
ceeds of the plunder, while the Napoleon proposes to
adopt the English plan, of plundering the poor for the
benefit of the landowner.

The Evenement gives the following additional re-
turns of votes from the army :—Rouen, 4th
Regiment of light infantry : Sue, 66, Leclerc 19—
Toulon, 10th Regiment of the line : Sue 41, Leclerc
7—Dijon, 14th of the line : Sue 52, Leclerc 13—St.
Omer : Sue 18, Leclerc 3.
The Gazette de France, however, claims the ma-
jority at St. Omer for Leclerc.
The Presse says that the statement of the votes of
the army received up to Sunday night gave to Sus
856, to LECLERC 241. The votes of the army for
the Soane and Loire are—Democratic list, 397 ; Re-
actionary list, 34.

THE -IVIURDER IN THE WANDS-
; WORTH-ROAD.
Last evening Mr. T. Higgs held an inquiry at the
Nag's Head, Wandsworth-road, touching the death of
Sarah Snelling.
The jury .having been sworn, proceeded to view the
body, which lay in the front kitchen of the house. It
did not present the slightest appearance cf violence, with
the exception of the face, which showed indications of
strangulation.
The first .witness examined was Mr. John Charles.•
Parrott, the. surgeon, who made a post mortal: examina-
tion of the .body. lle said, a little before two o'clock.
yesterday afternoon-I was sent for by some person, and
told that a woman had ;been found dead in a gentle-
man's house in the Waudsworth-road. I went imme-
diately to Clasernont.place. The deceased was lying in
the front kitchen. I cannot say whether she had been
moved. She was on the floor, on her hack, with her
head resting on some pieces of carpet. She, was in her
day dress. One of her shoes was off. liar clothes did
not appear torn, or to have been disturbed. I did not see
any blood about her. Nothing, as far as I could see,
bad issued from her mouth. A small basin of , water
was lying by her side en the floor. I noticed a coil of
rope at heateet. The police had not been there before
I arrived. I then inspected tie body. It was warm,
except the neck, which was wet. I did not then form
an opinion as to how long she had been dead. I had the
body stripped. I did not find any marks of violence
upon it. The eyes and mouth were closed. There was
not any discoloration on any part of the body. I then
left the body in charge of the police. This afternoon I
opened and examined the body. My father and other
medical men were present. I have not been able to
ascertain the cause of her death. I should think she
had been dead an hour when I first saw her, but it is
almost impossible to say with any degree of certainty.
I did not discover any smell as if she bad taken poison.
I found all the organs of the body in a healthy state,
with the exception of the stomach, upon laying open
which there were very distinct marks of recent and ac-
tive inflammation having taken place. The stomach
contained about two table spoonfuls of digested matter.
The remaining viscera and abdomen were in a healthy
condition. The heart was very healthy indeed. The
lungs were slightly adherent to the ribs. The brain was
very healthy. The contents of the stomach I have not
yet analyzed.
By a Juror—Did you observe anything to_ induce you
to suppose that she did not die from natural causes?
Witness—Only the inflammation in the sumach.
Juror—lf a rerson had been taken suddenly ill, would
they have laid themselves in the position in which the
deceased was found? Witness—l should say, certainly
not.

CORONER—If chloroform had been applied, would yon
have detected it? Witness—l cannot say, as Ido not
suppose that there has been any care where a post mor-
tern examination has taken place after chloroform has
been applied.
By a Juror—There was no smell of prussic acid. The
inflammation was get sufficient to account for death. It
can only be ascertained by an analysis. I should pre-
sume that some person had put her in the position in
which she was found. Her legs from her knees were on
the landing in the passage. Her body as far as her
knees was in the front kitchen. 1 have heard that her
right leg was bent under her when she was first dis-
covered.
The next witness called was Mr. John Meddle, who
said, I reside at No. 14, Claremont-place, Wandsworth-
road. lam an independent gentleman. The deceased
had been in my service for 12 years. She was servant
and housekeeper. She was, I believe, 33 years of age.
She was generally healthy, but her constitution was not
strong. Sbe was a very sober woman. She was a ser-
vant in the strictekt sense of the word. I took her from
conscientious motives. The deceased and myself were
the only persons in the house. Yesterday morning,
about 25 minutes before eleven o'clock, she let me out to
go to church. She appeared cheerful enough. I left
her in the house alone. She locked the gate of the
house, as I desired her to do; at least if she did not it
was her neglect, as I always ordered her to do so. After
the church service was over I came home. I suppose it
was about twenty minutes or half-past one o'clock.
Upon reaching my house I knocked at the gate for
some time, and afterwards I discovered that the side
gate was open, which was a very unusual thing. I was
preparing to jump over the gate, and then I found it
was not fastened, but only the latch. I then went has-
tily down, for I suspected that something was the
matter. 1 went into the kitchen, and there I found her.
She appeared as if she had been dragged from the
kitchen to tl:e position in which she was found. Her
head was lying on a heap of carpet. The carpet was
not in the kitchen when I went out. I then ran out of
the house and gave an alarm. When I returned I went
up stairs, and I discovered the frightful con-
sequences of the state she was in, and I am
sattEtled she was murdered. I found every place
broken open; all ray papers, deeds, bankers' re-
ceipts, and other things, were all thrown about the placr.
I missed a gold watch, about three or four pounds in
money, and a coat. I cannot say what I. have missed
yet, as I have been so excited by the matter. I cannot
say whether she had much money by her, but I think
she had a pound or two. When I had paid her wages.
about a week before, I paid her 21. 10s. Ido not know
that she had any followers; I did not allow, her to have
any; I did not object to her friends coming if she did it
openly. An attempt was made to break into my henna
about two months ago. When I went out I ordered
the deceased to prepare a dinner. There was no ap-
pearance of any attempt when I came home; there was
no fire.
At:this state of tbo proceedings it was suggested to the
Coroner by Mr. Superintendent Bicknell that it would
defeat the ends of justice if the inquiry was proceeded
with at present.
The Coroner then adjourned the inquiry till Monday
week. In the meantime an analysis will be made of the
intestines.

LYMINGTON ELECTION, -MONDAY NIGHT.—The
nomination took place in the Town-hall at noon to-day. The
show of hands was declared to be in favour of Mr. Hutchins,
the Liberal candidate, whereupon a poll was demanded by
the supporters of Mr. Stewart; which will commence at eight
o'clock to-morrow morning, and close at four r.m. Although
the election will be a closely-contested one, yet the. Tree-
trade candidate is still likely to be returned by a small ma-
jority. In this agricultural district, however, the Protec-
tionists seem determined to make a great stand.
