A good deal of noise, or as it is commonly
called .sensation, has been made here by the following cir-
cumstance. A gentleman of splendid dress and appearance,
arrived at Brighton a week or two ago, and took up his
abode at one of the principal hotels, dining at a boarding-
house. At the latter place he became acquainted with 3
family residing there, to the members of which he was re-
markably attentive, and in whose favour he contrived to
ingratiate himself most successfully. Unfortunately, how-
ever, a French Count, who has resided much at Brighton,
saw the gentleman, and immediately recognizing him as an
old acquaintance whom lie had met at (we believe) Chel-
tenham or Bath, denounced him as a swindler to his neW
friends, and also arrested him. So deeply, however, had
he ingratiated himself in their favour, that the latter actually
became bail for him to the amount of upwards of 601., and
have since paid the money. The " gentleman," we need
scarcely add, has subsequently left the town._Brighton

MURDER IN FRANCE.—A wine-merchant
in the Commune of St. Olsen, named Ftworr, an old sol-
dier, wearing the Order of Merit, was returning last Tues-
day from Paris, where he Lad received 500 francs as A
loan from a cook of M. TERNAUX. Having spent some
time drinking in an inn at Clignancourt, and finding bins'
self overcome, they endeavoured to prevail on him to pas,
the night there, but as he insisted on going Imme, the
landlord offered the waiter of the inn to conduct hint I
thither. They went out together accordingly, the waiter 1
carrying a lanthorn, and the soldier his bag, which the
former had not failed to notice. Next morning the get'
darmerie making their rounds, found in the cross road 1
leading from Clignancourt to St. Ouen, the body of 0 1
man, who had been murdered. Very speedily the report I
spread to St. Olean, and the deceased was recognised by
his wife, who was uneasy because of his absence, and as it
was known that he had spent the evening before at an ilia
in Clignancourt, and that he left the house with the
waiter, the latter, who had not made his appearance, wa
suspected as the auther of the crime. He was hassle,
diately sought after, and was arrested in the course
of the day, at the Barriers de Clichy, in a

and Marne, is indicated. Civil and military insignia, Of
