THE FRENCH LIBERALS.

PERMANENT CONSTITUTION OF THE ELEC-
TORAL COMMITTEES OF THE LIBERALS.

COMMITTEE OF THE GAUCHE CONSTITUTIONELLE.

(Re-union Odillo❑ Barrot.)
Gentlemen and Honourable Fellow-citizens,— We
congratulate ourselves on not having despaired of the
public mind in our country, and we thank you for the
patriotic devotion with which you have met our appeal.
The elections of 1842 are a striking contradiction, and
at the same time a useful lesson, to those who proclaimed
that France, henceforth absorbed in the carp of her ma-
terial interests, would no longer think of her honour,
nor of her liberties.

We have to deplore the loss of several of our friends
who had given guarantees in the last Chamber of firm-
ness and independence in their opinions. They have
honourably fallen, fighting under their banners, and for
I the cause to which they had devoted themselves. The
country will remember their courage and perseverance,
and better days will return to them.
One of the characteristics of the Parliamentary
struggle which has just terminated is the universal and
spontaneous union of all loyal and independent opinions
in the same thought, that of inflicting justice on political
defections, and of strengthening by striking examples
those sentiments of probity and of fidelity to one's co-
lours, without which the Representative Government is
impossible. After such examples we must hope that
these desertions which have stricken such mortal blows
at public morals, and which has caused the victory of a
principle to pass from day to day over to the opposite
principle, will no more be repeated. The political terri-
tory will be no more composed cf that moveable sand
upon which neither power nor opposition can found or
elevate anything great or durable. The struggle will be
between parties, and not amongst persons—between con-
flicting opinions, and not amongst interests.
Another characteristic not less significant of the 1842
general election is, that the candidates supported the
most strongly by the Ministry, have been the most ar-
dent to disavow it. The candidates whom we have sus-
tained, have, on the contrary, openly and loyally hoisted
their banner. This circumstance alone would suffice,
independently of any electoral statistics, to prove that
the universal sentiment of the nation is in favour of a
cause which ought to sustain our efforts, and redouble
our confidence.

Finally, Paris, that city which made the revolution of
1830—which moderated its first impulses, but which will
not permit that it degenerates into an ignoble specula-
tion for the profit of personal ambitions—Paris has of
forded a grand and salutary warning to the Crown, and
this warning, Rouen, and entire departments, have re-
peated. It is no longer the cries of the National Guards,
nor the street clamours, nor the necessarily passionate
discussions of the Press or the tribune. liere is the mass
of the most peaceable citizens, the most interested in the
preservation of order, who have just by their choice
reminded our July Government of the conditions of its
origin.
Let us hope that the new Chamber will know how to
comprehend all the bearings of this warning. In the
last session, promising symptoms of reconciliations (rap-
prochentens) were already manifested ; men of talent and
of feeling, who had been divided and kept asunder by
deplorable dissensions, trusted on the basis of a moderate
progress, and proposed and defended together, reforms
become indispensible. We will aid in these reconciliations.
We feel all the grandeur of the mission which is
allotted to us, and of its difficulties. We know that in
order to aceomplish it, it can only be by the united
efforts of all conscientious tend enlightened men whom
France has within her bosom. The melancholy catas-
trophe which has just stricken France with stupor
aggravates these difficulties, and prepares us for great
and difficult trials for the future. It is now much more
important than ever to be prepared for them, and for
that we ought to draw still more closely the ties which
have already united us. Everything has been done to
loosen and break these ties, but they have kept together
amidst all our political vicissitudes. The last elections

A turner in wood, named Coquart, was one day

last week tried before the Court of Assizes for die
murder of his wife. It appeared from the testimony
given, that two years ago be bad married Jute Ber-
geron, then seventeen years of age. DiDrences arose
between them, she complaining of his ill-treatment, and
he of her lore of pleasure and neglect of his comfort. A
separation took place, the conduct of the woman became
highly reprehensible, and Coquart threatened her with
vengeance if she did not refimn. Whenever they met,
scenes of violence and ill language took place, the wife being
even more bitter in her invectives than the husband. On
April 33 she was seen with him entering his lottgin„,,r, and
in some short time after Coquart gave himself- into
custody for the murder of his wife. The woman was
found stabbed in various places, and her mouth bound
strongly with a towel. Coquart was present at this visit,
and testified the utmost satisfaction at what he had done.
On the trial he declared that his wife entered his lodging
voluntarily, and asked him for money. He gave her
some, and when she was putting it into her pocket he
heard the noise of a paper crumpled up. and asked to see
it, and she having refused, he insisted on knowing what.

it was. She again refused, and suddenly taking it out
she tore it in pieces. Then, being much exasperated, he
stabbed her, and tied the towel over her face to prevent
her cries being heard. The pieces of the letter were
afterwards put together, and left no doubt as to the im-
proper conduct of the wife. The Jury found him guilty,
but without premeditation, and the Court sentenced him
to hard labour for life and exposure in the pillory.
A lady, still in the prime of life, and retaining
considerable beauty, though she had been married ten years,
in 1838 deserted her husband, who is a merchant at Nantes,
and came to live at Paris with a clerk in a commission ware-
house, with whom she became intimate when visiting Nantes,
en business. After a union of four. years the lover jolt, or
pretended to feel, a qualm of conscience, and announced a
few months ago to his mistress that they must part, as he had
determined to form a legitimate alliance with another lady.
After some violent struggles the repudiated woman appears d
to be resigned ; but a few days ago wrote a letter to her
seducer, urging him to pay her a final visit, as she had com—
munications to make of importance to their mutual interests.
He went to her apartment, where she renewed her earnest
entreaties for a re-establishmeut of their relations; but, sndiag
him inexorable, she produced a knife, which she, in their hal-
cyon days, had given him as a present, but resumed on their
parting, and plunged it several times into her breast. Th:
astounded young man called aloud for help, and the neighbours
rushed in. To them the jealous woman declared that it was
he who had done the deed, pointing at the bloody knife on the
floor. The commissary of police was called in, received from
the exasperated woman, who appeared to be dying, a calm and
deliberate repetition of the charge ; upon which the.supposed
murderer was taken into custody, and sent to prison. When,
however, on a subsequent day, the officers of the law came to
take her examination in the presence of the young clerk, she
relented, confessed that it was her own attempt upon her life,
and completely exculpated the prisoner, who was thereupon set
at liberty. '1 he infatuated woman was taken to the Hospital
of St. Louis, where she has since expirel

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE CROYDON AND BRIGHTON
RAILWAY.—MISCONDUCT OF A PASSENGER.—Last night
while the train which left Croydon at 20 minutes past six was
proceeding over Croydon Common, a gentleman was observed
to get out of the third class carriage, and after walking over
the tops of two carriages, at the imminent danger of his life,
the train going at a rapid rate at the time, seat himself on
the roof of a first. class carriage. The guard, Joseph Clutter-
buck, who witnessed this, immediately left his seat for the
purpose of going to the gentleman, and whilst in the act of
walking across the carriage his head struck No. 14 bridge,
dashing him on the coupling chains. The screams of the pas-
sengers who witnessed the unfortunate occurrence in-
duced the engine-driver to stop the train, and the guard was
placed in a carriage and conveyed to London, when it was dis-
covered that the injuries must have canted instant death, the
head being shattered in a dreadful manner. The gentleman
who had acted with so much impropriety made his way out
upon the arrival of the train at New-cross, but he was instantly
followed and given in charge by Superintendent Seaman.
He gave his name and address, Mr. Cramer, Devonshire-
street, Queen-square, and expressed much regret that his
conduct had been productive of such a melancholy accident.
Clutterbuck was one of the oldest servants on the railway, and
was universally respected for his obliging manner. }le has
left a wife and five children.

A SIMPLE REMEDY.—We this week saw an inter-
esting little boy writhing under extreme agony from the sting
of a bee, inflicted upon him in the hay-field. After he had
suffered for some time, a small quantity of honey was rubbed
upon the almost imperceptible wound, which so completely ex-
tracted the virus, that he became almost instantly free from
pain, and resumed his sports more joyously than before, from
the contrast between pain and pleasure. In the absence of
honey, treacle, or probably sugar moistened with a drop or two
of water, would be found equally efficacious.—Leeds Mercury.
TREATMENT or CONVICTS.—At the late Waterford
Assizes Stephen Nash was arraigned for returning from tram-
portation before the term was up. The prisoner pleaded
guilty, and added a most impressive and remarkable detail of
the horrors of transportation. He said he was put to work in
a dockyard gang of labourers, and because he would not join
in a plan to rise and escape, he was not sure of his life fer a
minute his mind was miserable, 'and he preferred death to
remaining there any longer. He desermined to escape at any
risk, and he made his way to a vessel by swimming. He told
the captain that he ran away from a man-of-war, in conse,
quence of which the captain would not take him. He wit
then backwards and forwards three weeks on the beach, and
swimming to the vessel through water that was full of sharks—
one day hungry, and another day thirsty. The vessel was a
mile and three quarters from the shore, and his only food was
a musty biscuit and an odd muscle that he found on the
beaob. At the place where he was at work, if a man was only
found with a bit of tobacco in his mouth, he was taken out,
tied under a triangle, and got fifty lashes. As for Norfolk
Island, he could call it nothing but the Island of Sodom and
Gomorrah. My Lord (said the prisoner in piteous terms,
amidst great sensation in Court), have mercy on me—l care
not for my body, but for my soul—and I would as soon have
you at once pass sentence of death upon me as send me again
to New South Wales. The Judge—l really feel most dis•
tressed, but I believe lam left no oiscretion. Prisoner—Oh,
my Lord, do not send me back. The Judge—The law is pe-
culiar. I have no discretion. I wish to God that the unhappy
people who are putting themselves into circumstances that
make it necessary to send them to where you came from, knew
what you and others like you had to suffer. I wish to God
they heard you here this day, and, taking warning from your
statement, would avoid crime in future. The prisoner was
then removed from the bar, still imploring mercy.
We learn from Bordeaux that a quarrel arose, on
the 17th inst., between some Spanish refugees residing in that
city at a cabaret belonging to a person named Boisson. Two
of the Spaniards, named Marcellino and Soubiran, were parti-
culirly warm in their dispute, and, in the end, the former
snatched up his hat, challenging the other to follow him. This
be did in a few minutes, and was received by his adversary

etnained until the Monday night following. The two

either person had been in the womb of the other. These

others were not. This happened about twelve or
I one o'clock. I cannot tell exactly, for there was no
clock or watch there ; and now if Peggy had been
allowed to be ex 'mined by me in the hall, I should
i iave made all this known there. Peggy asked me

thing secret. We all remained in the house till the
dawn of day. I then went up to Dowlais, and the others
retureed home to my father-in-law, as they say, and told
the story about being all night at Coin Coed Cymnier.
I met my wife again, about six o'clock in the evening of
' the following Monday, at her aunt Jane Phillip's house in

to my mother's house. M 5, wife placed the child on the
opposite side of the bed to where my mother's body was
lying. We then, together, dragged the corpse out, and
: placed it under the bed. We continued to Jive in the
' uouse during the rest of the week, sleeping five nights

:anxiety all the week, and on Saturday I started off, the
clay my mother's body was discoyered, leaving my wile

in the cant-house at letolleyn, and wandering about.
I tell the best truth—the truth I should tell in
the presence of God, where I shall be next Satur-
day—to you now. My blow did not kill my mother, fbr

There is, in the Impasse des Proveneanx, a stable, the
door of which having been left imprudently open, one of

cider, named r __, endeavoured to stop it, with ;he inten-
tion of leading it back to the stable ; but the inrmient the
animal saw him, he rushed forward. flung him, down,
and, seizing him by the hack with his teeth, shook bins
most .siolently, and then bore him off at Ain gallop down
the Rut de l'Arbre Sec. At this strange sight, and tJ'o
dreadful ,'creams of the man, everybody was so overcomo
that no atvutpt was made to stop the infuriated animal.
At last s,,eno of the inhabitants of the' neighbourhood,
arming themset7es with sticks and brooms, succ.:eded,

M. P— was takea away in a dreadful state ; and the
ferocity of the may be judged of from the fact
that it actually broke ,lose again, and rushed after its
victim, but was secure! A second time, and led back to
his stable.

Between five and six yeas ago, a man, assuming
the came of Benoit, was; adin4teci into the hospice of
Toul, in the Meurthe, as an assisant in the infirmary,
and, by the extreme regularity of his conduct, gained
the good will of the Directors, the 6:-Aers of Charity,
who attended the sick, and particularly of their Supe-
rior, so that he was at length placed in the more im-
portant office of porter. Such was the empire he gained
over the Superior, that a short time ago, he,. under the
pretence of having succeeded to a large • property in the
Loire-Inferieure, prevailed upon her to accept bills drawn
by him to the amount of 6,000 f., for which he obtained
cash from a banker, and then decamped without notice
or leaving any address. This unexpected conduct;
took the film from all eyes. Information was laid before
the Magistrates. Warrants were issued, and, after long
and wide searches, the fugitive was caught at Langres.
in the Haute-Marne, and brought back to Toul. At
one time he showed a disposition to betray his accom-
plices ; but this afterwards appeared to be merely a ma.-
nceuvre to delay his trial, which was fixed 11)r the 16th
inst. When called in the morning of that day -to take
his breakfast, he did not answer, and, on his cell being
entered, he was found dead, having hung himself by a
cord. Thus all chance of discovering his history; br even
his real name, is probably for ever lost.
llosiEnT AND LACE TRADES.—It is somewhat
!,atisfactory to state that some of the power net machine
owners have, during the last and present week, reduced
a little their stocks. The manufacture of plait net, or
rather laces, still continue rapidly improving, as patterns
are now produced which fully equal in ornament. foreign
cushion laces. The tatting and lap and press branch
still continues in a drplorable state. Still many of thti
workmen have a suspicion that the manufacturers put
the worst side outwards, and keep the workmen
short of employment for a double purpose—first, to
lower their stocks, and, secondly, to keep down the rate
of wages, and thus enhance profits. A third purpose
(more than hinted at) is, that they withhOld employ-
ment upon the Manchester system, in order to increase
the public distress, and thus " bore" the Ministry 1.0 re-
peal the Corn-law—a step which would Operate for the
sole benefit, of Russia. It ought not to be orerlogked
that the Russians have great numbers of partisans
amongst the master spinners, who are devoted to her in-
terest, as all the English ducts that Russia consumes is
but to the amount of 1,640,0001. yearly, of which,
1,200,0001. is bought from the master spinners in cotton
yarn : this is the true reason, and the motii4 of the Man-
chester Corn-law League, to forward Russian interest,
lest Russia should stop or check the import of yarns.
For a series of years nearly all the manufacturing inte-
rests have been sacrificed for that of tile Lmcashire and
