London to the Queen of England, at which Lord
Cowley, the English Ambassador in Paris, attended
by special desire. As spectacle every one seems
to be pleased with it, and the dresses Of the ladies

The Court of Assizes Of the Loir st. Cher was oc-
cupied last week with most disgusting trial. The
parties were a,grl named Burrstte. and man named
Curry, aged So. They had formed an illicit connec-
ton, and four children was the result of it. Two

ing dialogue between the President Of the Tribunal
and the girl, will show what became Of the other
twO:-

My master said to me, "You must give the body
to the pig" and he himself carried it to the pigsy
pig; and the next day, when returned, there were
only some little bones remaining.
What became Of the pig?
Curry sent at once for o chdrcutier and sold the

The Emperor and Empress went to visit the vau-
deville, where it is performed, on Saturday, and
seemed TO enter into the fun with great glee. Her
Majesty looked remarkably well; she wore dress
of pale blue silk, with a number OF very small
flounces, each finished by narrow fringe, and
reaching to the waist. She had necklace Of dia-
monds, and her hair was without ornament. The
Princess Mathilde, who arrived shortly AFTER pre-
sented the Empress with beautiful bouquet Of
roses. The evening was sultry, but it was observed
that the grace with which her Majesty used her fan
was perfectly Andalusian. The American Minister
end his lady were at the theatre. The heat and the
difficulty of understanding the French, combined to
throw the former into state of profuse perspira-
ton.
