The Paris papers of Monday are almost exclusively oc-
cupied with the insurrection in Poland. Their contents,
corroborated by private letters, show that this movement
of despair was virtually at an end. The insurgents could
not stand against the combined troops sent to oppose
thrm ; and we fear these unfortunate men will ere long
fall victims to their patriotic enthusiasm. Letters reach-
ing Paris from Warsaw on Monday state that the mist
pet feet tranquility reigned there, aid that the Russian
authorities had no fear of an outbreak in that city.

THE TRIAL OF THE ORANGEMEN.—TIIC trial of the
Orangemen charged with the riots at Armagh. on the
12th of July last, has just concluded in the conviction of
irree persons of " aiding and abetting at a manslaughter."
There are two or three circumstances in the trial worthy
of remark. First, no persnn of the Roman Catholic mob
was put to the bar. A. far as appears from the measures
taken to vindicate the law, the riot was p-culiarly national,
there being but one party to the quarrel. Yet it seem,
from reading the report, that even the witnesses called
for the prosecution, all Rorranists, admitted that the
Orangemen, bring cogged in a procession legally and
peaceably, made no hostile movement whatsoever until
they were assailed by their opponents. They had been
marching in proces-ion to some distance from Armagh,
and in the evening.found the Roma❑ Catholics posted in
lane numbers in a certain fruition of the city which they
principally
.inhabited. The latter attacked the Orange-
men, putting, according to the old Romish and Celtic
custom, women and " lumps of boys" (as a witness de-
scribed them) in'front. The assault was made with stones
—one man's head laid open, and others injured. The
Orangemen, being there in the exercise of a consti►utional
right, now did what the police and military have been
aei'lauded by the Government for doing under similar
circumstances—defended themselves. The result was
the dealt of one individual. The police in attendance.
and all others who:e information the Government was
likely to take upon the subject, could as easily have seen
the aggression of the Romanists as the defence of the
Orangemen. Indeed the witnesses all admitted the ag-
gression, yet for the riot the Orangerr
placed upon their trial and convicted.—Britann:a

demonstrations of military force on the part of the settlers
prove an eff,ettud check upon the natives. The in.

terms with the New Zealanders, but find it twcessary to

stand prepared for hostilities if provoked. Thry have

SHIPWRECK.—OD the 28th ult., a dreadful shipwreck
occurred at the Bugio lighthouse, on the bar of Lisbon. A
Freuch brig, laden with silt, sailed out of the river, in
defiance, we are assured, of the advice of the pilot, in the
teeth of a stiff westerly breeze, and of a heavy surf lashing
the bar. The captain is said to have been too daring, and
notwithstanding all the exertions of the pilot and crew,
the brig struck on the sandbank under the lighthouse,
and was dashed to pieces. Unfortunately the very nature
of lier cargo immediately waterlogged her. The pilot and
six of the crew were lost; the captain, a seaman, and two
boys saved.
THE AMERICAN AnetY.—The standing army of the
United States consists of one regiment of dragoons, one
regiment of riflemen, four companies of artillery, and
eight regiments of infantry. The whole number of troops
now in the service is 9,847, exclusive of 781 commissioned
officers. An act of Congress of 1842 reduced the rank
and file of the army to 3.920 myri ; th's rednetion is now

PRI FSTS, WOMEN, AND FAMILIES.—A trial took place
at the List assizes of the Herault which created great sen-
sation. The following are the circumstances of the case,
as stated in the indictment. Emilie Vidal, the daughter
of a man of large property at St. Pons, was married to
Corbiere, a physician, and in due time had a child, of
which she became so fond as to neglect all her other duties.
To divert her mind into the right channel, she was placed
particularly under the direction of M. Dousset, the cure
of the village of Felines d'Hantpool, near St. Pons, in
which the Corhieres lived, with the hope of exciting in
her the religious sentiments in which she was deficient.
Soon afterwards the child died, and the priest took the
opportunity for turning the affections, or rather the pas-
sions, of the mother towards himself, and ultimately suc-
ceeded in seducing her. Availing himself of the influence
he had thus acquired over her, he got her to sign notes of
hand in his favour, and at last to make a will, leaving him
a large part of her fortune, over which she had the con-
trol, under the pretence of saying perpetual masses for her
soul. The husband was at last 'made acquainted with
these infamous proceedings, and went to the house of the
priest to reproach him with them. During the altercation
which ensued, Dousset made an attempt to stab M. Cor-
bierre with a knife, but he escaped unhurt out of the
house. As he was going away, the enraged priest took up
a gun and fired at him. Again he escaped, the charge
having only touched his coat. Another violent scene
took place between them some short time after, and the
paramour struck the husband a violent blow on the breast
with an iron bar. M. Corbiere was immediately seized
with, phthisis, which he attributed to this injury, and soon
after died. Dousset then conceived the following strata-
gem for securing to himself the whole of Madame Cor-
biere's fortune. He prevailed on her to consent to marry
his own father, a very aged man, to whom her property
was to be made over, and which he, the priest, would in-
herit on his father's death. But this plan could not be
carried into execution until the legal term of her widow-
hood was expired. To overcome this difficulty,. and the
consequences which delay might produce, he made the
two parties sign a mutual contract of marriage, under
very heavy penalties. This was on the sth of -March in
last yt ar, only a month after the death of M. Corbiere.
He at the same time made each of them sign a bond for a
sum, left in blank, to be paid to him in case the Marriage
should not be solemnized. This he afterwards filled up
himself with a very large penalty. These transactions, on
being made known, excited suspicion that M. Corbiere,
the iusband, had been poisoned, and the magistrates or-
dered an exhumation and an autopsy of his body. No
traces of poison could be discovered ; but DousSet was
indicted for an attempt to murder the deceased by the
blow with the iron bar, and also for endeavouring by frau-
dulent means to deprive M. Vidal, the brother and heir
of Madame Corbiere, of the property to which be would
succeed on her death. After a long hearing, in which all
the facts stated were fully investigated, the jury delivered
a verdict declaring the prisoner guilty of fraud, but ac-
quitting him of the charge of attempting murder. The
Court condemned him to close confinement, with labour,
for eight years, and to be exposed on the pillory in the
market-place of Montpellier. When this judgment was
pronounced, Dousset spoke not a word, nor did he show
the slightest emotion.—Galignani's Messenger.
