o. From Australia, we hear of habit
able regions in the interior, hilly dis
trict visible from Lake Torrens. The
settlers on the lake were surprised one
day by the appearance of six natives,
who had crossed the water at a shallow
part, and who were more comely and bet
ter formed than any they had vet met with.
They had never seen Europeans, which
made intercourse difficult. "They con-
trived, however," says the report, "to
make themselves so far understood, as that
among the hills they had left were plenty
of kangaroos, white cockatoos, grass,
water, and gum trees" This informa-
ton is partially confirmed by the fact,
that white cockatoos not unfreQuently
come across the lake from the region in
question. We shall, perhaps, hear be-
fore long that it has been visited by ex-
ploring parties.

FRENCH PoLICE.-French malefactors
entertain the greatest animosity against
such of their accomplices as turn inform
ers, and they make rule of taking, if
possible, terrible vengeance on them. in
1S49, q man, named Werner, was con-
demned to eight years Imprisonment with
hard labor, but to obtain indulgence in
gaol, he made revelations against twen-
ty-tive men, all of whom were tried and
condemned. Since then he has been
placed in the Conciergcrle, where he is al
lowed to act as waiter in what is called
the pistola-a room for prison ers who are
able to pay for certain indulgences. But
his life is in constant danger, even from
prisoners who were in nowise affected by
his revelations. In November last, a man
named Gillette attempted to murder him.
and was subsequently condemned to hard
labor for life. On the 29th of June last.
a man named BonSeraud made ike at
tempt; he fixed quarrel on Werner, and
challenged him to fight. Werner at first
refused, but ended by accepting. They
went into the court yard. Werner seeing
that his adversary had a knife in his
hand, feared treachery, and went away
backward. His belief was that before
fighting the man would lay aside the
knife.
In going away, with his face towards
his antagonist, Werner knocked against
the edge of basin full of water and
fell into it. The other prisoners, who
were standing by, cried to Bongeraud,
"Give it him now !" "Ohw answered
Bongeraud, 81 am not afraid of wetting
my feetn' At the same time he rushed
into the basin, and plunged his knife into
Verner's thigh. Werner jumped CT his
fent and drew his knife, but before he
could use it, Bongeraud stabbed him sew
eral times. Werner, though bleeding,
rushed on him, and stabbed, but only
slightly. At this moment the turnkeys
arrived, and separated the two men.
Verner's wound in the thigh was very
serious, and if it had been a trife deeper
would have been mortal. For this crime
Bongeraud was tried by the Court of As
sizes, and being convicted, was sentenced
to Imprisonment, with hard labor, for
life. In the course of the proceedings it
WAS stated that he had not suffered per-
sonally in any way from the revelations
of Werner. The President took occasion
to remark that it was very desirable that
prisoners should not be allowed to retain
knives in their possesSion.-Galignani's
