A CONJUGAL COUPLE.—SO violent are the dissensions
between the Queen of Spain and her husband, that she
gave express orders that he should not be allowed to
occupy apartments in the palace during her absence from
Madrid, and sentries were posted for the purpose of en-
forcing obedience.
ATROCIOUS MURDER IN PARIS.—On Sunday week a
murder was committed in the Hotel de Turin, Paris, un-
der remarkable circumstances. That day an elderly Pied-
montese gentleman, named Terre, had taken possession
of a small apartment in the hotel, and being infirm in his
limbs, was attended by a female 24 years of age as his
nurse. In the evening a man came to the hotel with some
provisions, and from his representations that they were
for the invalid was allowed to go to the invalid's room.
He remained some hours, when a struggle and cries were
heard from the apartment. One of the servants, on going
up stairs to learn the cause, met the man, who was coming
down in great haste, and who told him Mademoiselle
Boele (the nurse), had been taken ill, and that he was has-
tening for a physician. The servant went up and found
the young nurse lying dead and streaming with blood from
several wounds inflicted upon her with a table knife, in
presence of her master, who could not rise to assist her.
The police was called, and the murderer, a man named
Gilbert was traced to a printing office in which he was a
compositor. It appeared that he had been her paramour
for some years, and that he suspected her fidelity to him.
After the act he went to work at the printing office, and

while hurrying the correction of a proof, —saying he was in
haste to go and might not return, the police officers entered.
He made no resistance, and the sleeves of his undercoat
were found to be stained with blood.
EXPLOSION AND Loss OF LIFE ON BOARD THE
FRENCH ROYAL YACHT.—A frightful accident occurred
on Monday, on board the royal screw-propeller yacht
" Comte d'Eu." She had left Havre in the morning for
Cherbourg, where some of her fittings were to have been
completed, and she was to proceed thence to Treport, to
take on board his. Majesty Louis Philippe, and part of the
royal family, for a pleasure excursion. The steamer was
going at its usual speed, when about noon, the officers
and a few passengers being assembled on deck, a mass of
steam was seen to escape in thick volumes from all the
outlets of the engine room. The first moment of panic
being passed, gangs were speedily formed for the purpose
of throwing cold water into the engine room. The heat
