The most extensive public hospital in Europe
is that of Milan, which is endowed with landed estates pro—
ducing an annual revenue of upwards of 70,0001.

The fountain of Vaucluse, like the heroine to
whom it owes its celebrity, has felt the irresistible hand of
time. A handsome paper-mill now replaces the dilapidated
halls of the ancient Lords of the Manor, and, although the
little village sung by Petrarea be a paltry little •illage►
still it is now capable of being approached by a carriage•
and it possesses the oommon-placo appendage of a tolerable-

The system of murdering by poison in
France, of which we have lately bad to record so many in-
stances, appears still to continue. On the 10th of the
pre,ent month a widow woman of the name of Lefebvre
was executed in the great square of Montreuil, for this
offence, committed upon the person of her son-in-law. It
had been proved in evidence that the Sin's. Provost, ,het
victim, having come in from his work on the 4th of June
last, ate fur his supper some broth prepared for him by hie
mother-in-law, and immediately afterwards was-seized with
violent internal pains, accompanied with vomiting ; he
went for the purpose of procuring some milk, but was in-
terrupted by the old women, who gave him some, on drink-
ing which he experienced the same disagreeable taste ee
was in the broth, with a recurrence of the symptoms, and
after continuing in great pain till the following evening"
expired. Suspicion falling upon his wife and her mother,
whom, it seems, he had occasionally threatened that he'
won'.! let his farm and leave them, they were arrested and
brought to trial. What appears singular, on the examina-
tion of the body no traces of the poison could be found
with any certainty; the mother-in-law was, nevertheleeft
found guilty, the wife being acquitted. She is repOrfeil to
have heard her sentence with great indiffereuke, and tti
have had a box of pounded glass taken from her person ors
her return to the prison. At the place of execution'
which, from the circumstance of its being market-day, wee
crowded with the neighbouring population, she exhibited
snore emotion, till the fatal instrument put an end at once'
to her terrors and her life.
