speaking of the French affairs observes,
that the trial of the murderers of Nj. Flu
aides, has kept pace with the Budget, and
the two are so inseparably in our minds,
that we do not imagine we shall ever hear
of one without remembering the other.
This murder is the most atrocious we have
any record of. The deliberate extension
of the living body of Fualdes upon table
the holdisg him with his face downwards,
and his throat bare, over pail the cut
ting his throat, and receiving the blood in
this vessel, that the floor might not be
stained; the carrying out the body TO
throw it into river, and the emptying Of
the pail upon an adjoining dunghill, are
all so many horrible circumstances 10
which the annals OF our criminal trials can
produce no parallel, and altogether COM
pose murder worthy of the most ener-
getic days of Revolutionary France. One
still more horrible circumstance, indeed,
we have omitted in the above enumera-
ton, namely, that the woman who held
the pail, stirred up the blood with her
hands, lest it should become clotted, and
might not pour SO clean from the wood.
The burning alive of the Lynch family in
Ireland, and the adding more straw 10 the
flames IN proportion as the screams of the
women aud children were heard, is the
only suitable parallel; but it does moi APP
pear that any women were concerned in
this transaction. BY what we can under
stand of the evidence, Madame Manson,
who was IN the house upon some intrigue,
was discovered and brought from a re-
mole chamber by Bastide, who TO render
all secure, was about 10 murder her upon
the spot, but was prevented by Jausion,
VINO eXacted from her an oath of secrecy.
Gratitude TO Jausion, as her delverer, has
gwen the character of mystery 10 her evil
dence, whilst Bastide, seeing the motive
o. her silence, and presuming too far up
on If, dares her TO the discovery, and insi-
nuaies his own Innocence upon her silence.
Ine 35th regiment, underline command
ofCol. lorenzo Moore, is ordered to en-
bark tor Quebec. The 9sth, Col. DAM
ell, is ordered for Halifax.
From the report of the select commit
tee on the poor laws, II appears tina; the
average sum raised by assessment for the
relief of the poor, in the three years end
ing in 1850, was only $3.50, 1875. The ave-
rage of three years ending in 1915 amount
ed to the enormous sum of &S, l64 1856.
Accounts from China state, that verv
serious misunderstanding has arisen be-
tween the Chinese authorities and the Bri-
tish traders, respecting reported SNUG
CHING by the county ships. Bonds had
been demanded from the owners which
were refused.
The progress of the Contagious Fever
IN Ireland, has been very desolating in
many parishes.
