TRIAL FOR MURDER IN FRANCE

On the 27th c,f March last, lime. Sauval, a widow in
•
the 88th year of her age, living at 1 ettt-as lontrouge,
was foiled dead in her aiiartment, with a severe wound
on the hatk of her head, and other contusions and
and bruises about her person, which led to a suspicion
that she had b. en eeirdered. She resided in an apart-
ment of the house f a married min with two children,
named Sauluier, a el,:rk in the Marie of the Ist ron-
dissernent of Paris, who, in consideration of I,ooofr.
paid by her to him, granted her an annuity of 100 f. a
year, hich acs paid by him partly in giving her the
apartment at the rate of OK a year, although it was
we'l nth 250 f. per anemia, and in regularly handing
to her the remaining 401. in cash. The Saulnier
who were veil old frends of the deceased, were her
only attendsnts, as she had no servant, and also supplied
her gr anitonsly with fruit or vegetables from their gar.
den. They, however, had every reason to believe that
they wou'd be more than remunerated by her will, as slit
was known to have at her dsposal some little property de
rived from her savings. This iiitart•st in her death and the
ether circuals an .es we are about to relate, first induced
a suiefici:n that el e had been murdered by Madame Saul.
nier, at he ire tigation, or at least with the knowledge aria
cot nicance, ef her husband. They were arrested, exami-
nations we, e taken, and, finally, they were committed to
take their trial !'or wilful murder, which commenced on
iday last before the Court of Assizes, and was con-
tinued till Sunday n;ght. The prosecution was con-
ducted yM. Giantlaz, the Advocate-General, and the
prisoners were defendel by Messrs. Crtitnieux and Blot-
Duquesne. The facts and circumstances on which the
accusation was founded and supported were, in aedition
to the kn een i :ter, st the prisoners had in the death of
Mme. Sauval, that rib( w ten on the morning of the fatal
day, Mnna Sauval went out of her apartment into the
village, and bought some salad and a bundle of wood,
which latter purchase a lad carritd home immediately
aft refuels, end sawed into eisces in her presence in her
dinhg-r.-em, and then 1 ft her ; since which time she
wits net seen outside of her door, nor was any stranger
seen to enter her apartmait. About half-past two o'clock
Arne. Ssulnir sent ;her daughter, a girl twelve years
old, up :o Mme. Sauval, who lived on th first floor, to
thr. ad her needle cceording to custom, and asked whether
she wanted anything, but ahhaugh the girl knocked
so lOWd that some of the other tenants came out of
their rooms to inquire what was the matter, no answer
was given by Mm Sauval, nor d'd her little deg bark,
as it usually aid on such occasions. At five o'clock her
girl, Estlur Saulnier was sent up again, made the same
noise, but still without any answer. Soon afterwards,
Mine. Saelii7er went down to the porter; and requested
him to co ne and see what had happened to Mine. Sauval,
as she, Mine. Saulnier, could perceive through a window
that she was lying on the floor of her dining-room
Ilaving received from Mine. Saulnier a second key of
Mine. Sauval's outer door, which she always kept that
she might enter when she pleased, Lereux the porter
went in and found the poor old woman lying lifeless,
but still warm, on the flour of the dining-room, with
her head against a chest of drawers in a small pool of
blood, which had issued from a wound at the back of
the skull. Mine. Saulnier took no steps whatever on
hearing this report from Lereux but waited till the
return of her husband, who went to the proper authori-
ties to give the usual notice of the death, preparatory to
the interment, but as he stated the circumstances of the
case, the msgistrate cause d a regu'ar inquest to be
taken. The medical man called in to make the autopsy of
the body reported that the death must have been caused by
blows with a blunt instrument, for, independent of the
wound in the head, there were other injuries about the per-
son, which not only proved this, but showed that the de-
ceased! d made so-ne resistance. In various parts of
the apartment were found money, and securities for
money, and also a smell quantity of plate, in situations
evidently chosen by the deceased, nor was there the
slightest tokens of any robbery having been committed.
There were no marks or blood on the face, or any other
part of the person or clothes of the deceased, nor even
upon the cap, which was found on her head, and, there-
for e, on the conviction of .a murder having been perpe-
trated, it was presumed that the guilty person had
chanud the dress of the deceased after the deed was
done, having first washed away all the blood, which
must have been shed on the floor, except the compara-
tively small quantity th it was near the bead, and then
laid the body in the position in which it was found, in
order to give the idea that Mme. Sauval had dropped
down in a fit, and killed herself by striking her head
against the drawers. It was reported that the deceased
had shown discontent at being so far from her friends in
Paris, and intimated an intention to remove, and this
was imputed to the Saulniers as an additional motive for
their cruel act, fearing that her Paris friends might
induce her to alter her will, and thus deprive them of the
benefit they expected from it. It was further declared
that the statement of Mine. Saulnier that she had seen
the deceased lying on the floor of her dining- room was
false, as it was, from the situation of the two apartments,
impossible. In the course of the cross-examination of
the witnesaes much of this presumptive evidence was
coinple•ely rebutt..d, and much rendered at least very
doubtful. On the part of the prisoners it was shown that
none of the clothes of the deceased, supposed to have
been worn by her when killed, had been found, nor could
there be traced the slightest bruise or scratch on the
person of Mate. Saulnier, from the struggle which the
medical men stated must have taken place when the deed
was dune,, nor the smallest spot of blood upon any of the
garments of Mine. Saulnier which she had on at the
time ; nor was it attempted to be proved by any evi-
thrice that she had quieted her own apartment from the
time when Mme. Sauval returned with .the wood till the
discovery of her death. Mane. Saulnier accounted for her
not giving her daughter the second key, to go into tile
deceased's apartment, by affirming that this key was never
used but when Mme. Sauval was too ill to come and
open the door herself. It was further proved that the de-
ceased was liable to fits, lied fallen down in them before,
and had been kindly and attentively nursed by Mine.
Saulnier. A number of witnesses gave most excellent
characters to both the prisoners, and the notary, who
made tl,e deceased's will, distinctly deposed that, whatever
they might have expected, neither the Saulniers nor any
one else knew the dispositions she had made of her pro-
perty, and that whst she did give to that family was for
the children, and not to either of the parents. Notwith-
standing the t vidence for the prosecution was so much
weakened and shaken, the Advocate-General stre
insisted in his requisitory that the case was proved, and
called for the conviction of both prisoners. The counsel
fur M. and Mine. Saulnier exerted themselves with great
zeal and judgment in their behalf throughout the arduous
proceedings of three long successive days, and delivered
most eloquent addresses to the jury. The pleadings
and summing up of the President were not concluded
till half-past ten o'clock on Sunday night, when the
jury retired, and after remaining half an hour, returned
and delivered a verdict of Net Guilty in favour of bath
prisoners upon every count of the indictment.—

rim AMERICAN FARMERS AWAKENING.—A friend
and highly intelligent farmer writes us from the interior of
Pennsylvania :—" The high tariff has ground down the.price
of wheat to 75 cents. per bushel. We cannot grow it for that
price. We think in all conscience we have been fattening
the manufactures long enough. They have become over-
grown, and will be mighty hard to handle." We are re-
joiced that the farmers of Pennsylvania are learning wisdom
from the " teaching of experience." That they are beginning
to discover that a " protective" tariff is but a scheme for
protecting the few by plundering the many. That the bounty
conferrei upon the manufacturer and iron-master, by arti-
ficially raising the price of their productions one-third, is
taken from the pockets of the farmer, by depreciating the
prices of his produce in a like ratio. These are the "benign
re,ults" of the present high tariff to the farmer, the immense
agricultural int' rests of .New Pennsylvania can control the
political power of those great States ; and by properly wield-
ing it, they coal I wipe.off from the statute. book the infamous
system of legalised robbery under which they are now suffer-
ing.— Washington Constitution.
EVENINGS AT lIADDON HALL.—A new illustrated
work bearing the above title is announced for immediate
publication, which is likely, we understand, to eclipse all its
annual competitors for the public favour. The following is
an extract from the prospectus :—" This work will include
an amount of literary interest and pictorial embellishment
that has probably never before been united in a single vo-
lume. The Illustrations (24 in number) are from designs
by George Cattermole, Esq., the whole of which were exe-
cuted expressly for this work, and have been engraved on
steel, in the very finest line manner, by the most distin-
guished artists. The literary portion of the work—which is
edited by the Baroness De Calabrella—has been contributed
by many of the most popular writers of the day, and the
living characters who compose the dramatis persona, include
several of the most celebrated personages who figure in the
fashionable, the literary, and diplomatic circles. The work
will be issued in a rich and costly ornamental binding, and
will form the most splendid and attractive Gift Book that has
ssued from the press for some years."

PROSPECTUS.

This important line will commence at Brighton, and (passing
through or contiguous to the towns of Steyning, Pctworth, Mid-
hurst, Petarsfleld and Airesford) will join at the Andover Road sta-
tion of the South-Western Railway, the proposed Southampton
Manchester and Oxford Junction.
An arrangement has been entered into with the latter Company,
and it is proposed by means of their projected line, that the
Brighton and Cheltenhatn Railway shall proceed through Mager-

ford to Swindon.
From Peterslleld a shot branch will be made to Chichester
where, nearly at the same point of junction, the London and Ports-
mouth direct will inter+ect the line in its way to Portsmouth.
From Swindon it is proposed to proceed by the Manchester and
Southampton Railway to Chelt nham, ani the North of England
by the Derbyshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire Junction, or
other existing and contemplated lines.
On reference to the map, it will be seen that the primary object
to be obtained by the formation of this line will be the immediate
connexion of the northern, western, and the whole of the manufac-
turing counties, and North and South Wales, with the southern coast
and the populous and fashionable towns of Brighton, Hastings, and
Dover.

It is unnecessary to observe on the daily increasing traffic between
Brighton and Dieppe, which the railroad from the latter place to
Rouen, and theace to Paris, must greatly augment; thus, by means
of the projected line, a direct communication with France, either
from Brighton or Dover, will be opened with the northern counties
of England. .

It is obvious that with these advantages the traffic must neces-
sarily be large, the line passing through the centre of Sussex, con-
taining
a population of about 300.000, .at present almost devoid of
railway accommodation.
Power will lse applied for in the Act to increase the capital, f
necessary, to alter the line, or to make such deviations or branches
therefrom as maybe deemed necessary also for the purposes of amal-
gamation with other Companies, should the same be found desirable.
The Company reserves to itself the option of adopting the broad or
narrow gauge, or the principle of atmospheric traction, if preferable.
No further call beyond the deposit will be made until the Act
shall be obtained.
In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to parties
locally interested, and to the shareholders in the lines with which
this Company will be connected.
Application for shares may be made to the Secretary, and
to the following Sharebrokers, of whom prospectuses, with maps
of the line, may be obtained:—London—Messrs. Peppercorns and

This undertaking is projected suPP Y
the requirements of the above important district ; and a reference to
the map will show that it will also complete the communication be-
tween York, Leeds, and the intermetHate towns in the most direct
course with London. The surveys have been made by Sir John Mac-
neill and Janice Thompson, Esqe and the country is found to be fa.
vourable to time construction of a railway, and to require neither tun-
nels nor heavy embanaments
• and there is, perhaps, no line of such
importance which could be constructed at comparatively so small an
expense as the sum named in the estimate.
The length of the line will be but about thirty-nine miles; and by
means of this short link, in connexion with existing projects from
Nottingham, a saving will be effected between Leeds and the metro-
polis exceeding thirty miles.
It will commence at the projected terminus of the Wakefield, Pon-
tefract, and Goole Railway, at Pontefract, and from thence proceed
through Doncaster, Tickhill, and Worksop, to the terminus of the
NottLgham, Mansfield, and 'Midland Counties Railway, at Mansfield ;
thereby completing, by means of the York and North Midland Rail-
way, the shortest mute from York to Nottingham and London. It
will also, by the proposed extension line of the Wakefield, Pontefract
and Goole, from the York and North 3ildland, near Methley, form
the nearest line between Leeds. Nottingham, the Midland and South-
ern Counties, and by the Goole and Doncaster line, an uninterrupted
communication with Goole and time shipplug ports of the Humber.
It will also Man a means of communication with the several pro-
jected lines, V, the rishre, port of Great Grimsby.

station, from whence the line will be continued in as direct a course as
I possible to Holyhead
In Ire progress it win p:As through or near to the foltowing towns:
—Rlekmansworth, Chesham, Wendover, and Aylesbury; It will then
proceed to within a short distance of Bices:cr and Deddington, and
from thence to Banbury ; it will touch upon Kineton or Kingtown,
thence proceed onward to Strat:ord-on-Avon, approach within a
short sEstintee of Warwick, Alceiter, and Worcester, where it will
cross the Birmingham and Gloucester Railroad near to Becensgrove,
and proceeding thence to Kidderminster, Bridgnorth, and Wenlock,
near t) Broseley and Coalbrookciale, w,ll enter the Vale of the
Severn, which it will traysrse to Shrewsbury; it will thence cen-
t:nue its route up the coarse of the Severn, and passing into the Vale
of the R ver Vyntwy, will proceed to Llan-y mynech, ithaledr,
and Moclinant, accoannediEngWeichpool, Oswestry, and Llangollen.
At this point there are three passes, which have been inspected, and
it restrains for the engineer to select one as an entrance or passage
into the Vale of the River Dee, when the line will proceed round by
Corwen into the Vale of the River Alwen, from whence it will run
nearly parallel with the great Holyhead Mail-coach-road, by Pentre-
voeias to Capel Cerr7g, It will then descend the Vale of .tisurt Francon
O Bangor and Holehead.
This line win in its progress feed, and be also fed by the most coast-
siderable railroads of the kingdom, particularly those of the Great
Western ; the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Bristol; the Oxford,
Worcester, and IVolverhampton ; the London and Birmingham ; and
the South Statronishire Railway. As this last line will connect
Dudley, Bilston, • Wednesbury, Walsall, and Lichfield with the
Derby Railway and the Grand Junction Railway, it would
be superfluous to expatiate on the advantages of bring-
ing all those important centres of the coal and iron trade and
other' trail-lc, and the vast coal and iron fields of Nhropshire
into close intercourse, and thus establishing the cheapest and
quickest means of transit between the minerals of Shropshire and the
furnaces of Staffordshire, and the markets of Dublin, London, and
Birmingham. .• The success of the undertaking is secured beyond a
doubt, by the obvious fact that fa will not only bring the richest
mineral and manufacturing portions of England much nearer to the
two capitals, but it will open for the carriage of the valuable pro-
duce of these districts the intermediate country not at present pos-
sessed of any direct line of railway communication. On the other
hand, the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Railway will
give to London and the neighbourhood of Birmingham a route to
Dublin shorter by nearly seventy miles than that of any other exist-
ing railroad ; and finally, enable travellers to complete the entire
distance in ten hours.
It will also ensure two mail deliveries in the day.

UP to the Point where the line approaches Corwen, no engineering
difficulties tire presented. At Corwen a deviation from the straight
line may be requisite to avoid tunnelling, after which a straight line
will be. resumed to Bangor, where that already in construction will
be ae.opted for the rest of the route to Holyhead ; or, if found de-
sira'ale, power will be taken in the Bill to continue an independent
Beaumaris to Holyhead.
After a careful investigation of the traffic arising from passengers,
ti as conveyance of mineral and agricultural produce, and the direct
I.ransmission of the mails, the Directors fed warranted in anticipating
a return of at least ten per cent. on the capital invested.
I A treaty is in progress with a Steam Navigation Company to run
powerful steamers between the harbours of Holyhead and Kingston
on the arrival of the trains, so that passengers and merchandise may
be booked throughout from London to Dublin, inetudiag all the inter-
mediate stations, and be thus enabled to complete the entire distance
in ten hours, without the incon7enbace so painfully felt of changing
from the conveyance of one preyrieta-y to that of another. The
railwais now in active pr. gross in Ireland, running from Dublin
north and south throughout the heart of the island, render it self-
evident that the chain of communication between the sister countries
is, by this present undertaking, refalc•red at once complete
and intimate to the last degree. As the leading aim of
this Company is to save time and distance, every attention of
the Directors, and every advancement in science wilt be made
available to gaits the utmost possible amount of speed, com-
patible with safety, the lines being formed expressly for this end ;
while, finally, the very lowest rate of fares will be adopted for both
passengers and traffic, and the pnblic will find in the improvement of
the infer:or carringtv, and some additional comforts for those of the
first class, that the Grand London and Dublin Approximation Rail-
way will be placed in advance of any other now existing, and la all
its details will be rendered worthy an enterprise so national in its
character.

Application will be made for a Bill to incorporate the Company
early in the next session. The usual power will be taken by the Act
to allow interest at 4/. per cent. per a•snum on the amount of the
subscriptions paid up; and no subscriber will be answerable for more
than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained, and then not
beyond the amount of his subscription.

The line will proceed from the Reading station of the Great Western

West Wycombe, Ayleshwur7,
richest and most fertile districts of England, from whence vast
supplies of livs stock
.and agricultnral produce nre constantly fur-
nished to the metropolis; and from Buckingham it will be continued
direct to Ellsworth and Northampton.
From Blisworth a line proceeds to Wellingborough, and forms a
function with the Direct Manchester Railway; and it is intended
that a branch shall be formed from West Wycombe to the station at
Slough, on the Great Western Railway
The proposed line with the branch will be about soventy-llve miles
In length, and it has been ascertained that it may be constructed
with unusual facility, whilst, by means of the intended Junctions with
the Great Western Railway at Slough and Reading, with the London
and Birmingham Railway at Blisworth, and the Direct Manchester
Railway at Wellingborough, an uninterrupted and most desirable
railway communication will be opened betweefi -Portsmouth, Gos-
port, the Isle of Wight, Southampton, Bedford, Huntingdon, the
Staffordshire Potteries, Birmingham, Derby, Leicester, Manchester,
Liverpool, Leeds, Newcastle and Berwick, and with the great manu-
facturing and mining districts of the north of England.
The numerous parishes and districts which will be traversed by the
line comprise a population of nearly 1,500,000 persons, and passing,

as it will, a p ,rtion of the co-mtles of Berks and Oxford, the whole
of Buckinghamshire, and by the celebrated Vale of Aylesbury, and
uniting with the several completed or projected railways under-
mentioned, viz.:--
The London and Birmingham
The Great Western
The Southampton Union
The South M.dland
The Midland Counties
• The Northampton and Leicester
The Northampton and Peterborough, and thus with
The Direct Manchester
it cannot be doubted that it must prove extremely convenient and
beneficial to the public, and highly advantageous to the proprietors.
The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Par-
liament to the amount of their subscrlptiors, and power will be ap-
plied Ibr in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. 'per annum on all
calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line.
Arrangements have been made that the survey shall be completed,
and the plans and sections deposited in time for obtaining an Act
during the ensuing session of Parliament.

The Directors of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction
Railway Company, having completed the whole of their arrange-
ments, and having been compelled to refuse at least three-fourths of
the finpliCations for shares in their line, have had their attention
forcibly and repeatedly called to the necessity of a direct communi-
cation between Salisbury and Swindon, the station on the Great
Western Railway, by which the most direct and remunerative con-
nexion will be formed between Southampton and Manchester.
The advantages, in point of speed, to be derived from the broad
gauge, vs also the superiority of the gradients obtained by the route
of the Valey of the Avon, together with the importance of placing the
city of Salisbury on the main think line from the north to South-
ampton, must insure to this undertaking the sanction of the Legis-
lature and the local support of the towns and districts through which
the line will pass.

Besides forming a direct communication with the great manufac-
turing towns in the north, the Salisbury and Swindon Extension wilt
make a complete line of railway between Southampton, Salisbury,
and all parts of North and South Wales.

After most mature deliberation, the Directors have resolved to re-
commend to their shareholders and the public the immediate carry-
ing out of a railway to effect the above object, which will be most
desirable as a completion to their owit line, and highly advantageous
in a pecuniary sense and on public grounds. They have directed all
the necessary surveys to be made, so as to apply to Parliament in
the ensuing session, at the same time as the Wilts, .Somerset, and
Southampton Junction Railway, with a view to the ultimate amal-
gamation of both lines under one management.
In the allotment of shares, preference will be given to the holders
of the Wilts, Somerset, and Southampton Junction Railway shares.
as also to parties locally interested, due regard being at the same
tirrn, had to public interest; and every original shareholder in that
line may, on production of his scrip certificate, receive an allotment
of a similar number of Salisbury and Swindon Extension shares.
The holders of Great Western, and of Wilts, Somerset, and Wey-
mouth shares, will also have a preference.
Applications may be made, in the following form, to the Provisional
Committee, at the Offices of the Company, 26, Gresham-street, the
solicitors, the local agents, or to the principal brokers i■ town and
country.
