Poisoning Gases,

QT The Detroit papers of April 9th give
the particulars of an awful murder of wife by
her husband, in that city. The mans name is
Edward Benedict. The Advertiser says:
"The first that was known of the affair was
when a passer-by heard the cry OF murder is
suing from the small house occupied by Bene-
dict and his wife; the door flew open on the
instant, and he discovered Mrs Benedict par.
TALLY on the floor, with her husband standing
over her, having the knife in his hand She
rushed out of the door, fell, and almost mmedi-
atcly expired. He was taken to iai, at once
and stated that he had killed one of the best
women that ever breathed Also, that he had
been absent from home, and that his wife gave
birth to child and taunted him by saying that
he was not its father. lie says that but short
time before he assigned over to her all of his
property, and that being the case, and hearing
from her own lips that she had not been true
to him, he, without knowing what he did, stabbed
her. lie further states that moment before
he had no idea of committing the deed, but pas.
sion overcamc hun, and her death was the re-
salt. lie says that going TO State prison is
nothing compared to the awful thought that
God will not forgive him, and that he thinks
he will not go to State prison, but before that
time will be dead"
0C.5- The Governor of New York has en-
phatlcaly refused to commute the sentence OF
Mrs. Hurtung, convicted of poisoning her hus-
band at Albany, New York. The Governor, in
letter to the counsel of the wretched woman,
deslgnates the crime of poisoning as the worst
sort OF murder, and the most difficult of detec-
ton, and declares that he cannot conceive that
he should feel authorized to interfere in any
case of poisoning, where the guilt is clearly
proved. and especially when the murderer is
the husband or wife. lie expresses the belief,
from careful review Of the evidence, that Mrs.
IIartung was guilty of the deliberate murder of
her husband by poisoning him. He then refers
TO the general aversion to hanging woman,
but thinks that public justice and the safety of
human life require it in this instance. There
fore, he cannot commute the sentence, and re-
quests that counsel will urge Mrs. Harlung to
cease to hope tor Executive clemency.
Two more wife poisouers have just been con-
vItted OF that most awful crime. In Hamilton,
G. W., John Mitchell was found guilty, and
sentenced to be hung on the 7th of Juno. and
in Cobarg, c. W., Dr. King has been found
guilty, but recommended him to mercy. Il
must be a queer kind of humanity that recon-
mends ngln to mercy who deliberately mixes
poison in wtes food, we'll knowing that to eat
that food is certain death. But we suppose he
was sorry he did it

The English Navy.

1hefe Is grand struggle now going on be-
tween England and France for naval suprema.
cy' the lilies having quietly and almost imper.
cePtlbly gained a superiority over the lion in
Tue number aud efficiency of war vessels. This
Is Puo lcly acknowledged by the British Lords
OF the Admiralty, who last summer examined
into the condition of the French navy. 1t was
found that at the end of 1853 Engla"l would
have thIrty-six line,o battle ships, 34OO guns,
@u,'1O horsepower, and that the French force
would amount to forty line.of. battle ships,
31O6 guns, and 1910 horse power. The COM
parlson is extended only to screw ships which
are now considered by British naval authorities
as the right arm of the service. In regard to
steam frgates the cor. parison is still less favor.
able to EngIand. To overcome this disparity
the English dockyards and foundries are pushed
to their utmost productveness Now ships are
IN course OF construction, and sailing vessels
are being converted into screw steamers. But
'hls Is not all. The French have added from
cased ships to their navy, and the British Ad-
mralty have determined to follow suit, allho'
the cost Is enormous. AS the result of these
efforts Engand will at the end of the next
year, have added to her navy fifteen line.of-
battle ships, nine trigates, and two iron ships.
Ihe Admiralty look forward to and propose still
further addition to the feet in 1860 and 1861.
IN order, IN The language of Sir J. PakiDoton.
mat English naval supremacy may be fully
re'estabiIshed." These important additions TO
'he navy have as consequence caused an in
crease IN the naval estimateS which have risen
from G0,S31, 900 in 1853 to E0SI3,OOO for the
coming year. 1t is estimated by Que authority
that the cost Of ships already belonging to the
British navy, including their machinery, is
lbout E3O,000,000 or %I50,O00,00O; vet there
seems no disposition to withhold whatever addi.
lonal sums may be requisite to maintain Brit
sh maritime supremacy.
Louis Napoleon may have the most ships. but
queen VIC has the best sailors, as history
'roVes. Were 1t not for the scientific improve-
nenls that are constantly rendering warfare
ess matter of muscle and endurance than of
Intelligence and skill, the English would have
title cause to fear an increase of the French

species of game denomnated skunk. "Skunks

Three years ago the hide of these nasty beasts
wouldn't be touched with any amount of pole.
Now they are eagerly sought for in the Rus
sian, Turkish, and German markets, and are
worth from fifty cents TO one dollar per skin.-
Upwards of $4,000 of these Skins have been

A New Way Of Counting.

About three months since young Parasial
travelling in Germany, took the road to Augs
Ourg TO Berlin. In the car he selected ther,
were iour other persons, two mammas and two
daughters, both very lovely. The two mother,
were lace to face IN one corner, the young MAI
look The opposite, and found himself face tc
lace with the young ladies'. The young man
put on straight and absent air. The con.
ductor came to demand the tickets The Young
man PAID no attention at all, when the request
was many times repeated Reused from his
revere IN presence of the ladies', the younp
man had recourse TO ruse TO avoid exciting
ridcule
What are you saying ~ said he. "Why
40 you not speak Freuch | know not a word
Of German"
The conductor then explained by signs, the
ticket was changed, and the young man return.
ed to his reverie. But not to enjoy it long, for
THIS time the young ladies aroused him They
began in full voice.
This young man is very handsome" said
one
Hist, Bertha!" said the other, with a sort
of alright
Why, he doesn't know a word of German
We can talk freely. How do you find him -

81 understand that; Frederick is esponsed
TO you: but |, who am without lover, am free
to express my opinions; and am free to say
that this Young man has beautiful eyes,
They have 10 expression"
" lou do not know, J am adre he has much
spirit, and 1t IS pity he does not speak Ger
man, he would chat with u.s. .
" Would you marry Frenchman?'
" why not, if he looks like this one, and was
spirited, well born and amlablc! But | can
hardly keep from laughing. See, lie doesn't
nIstrust what We are saying"
The young traveller was endoW ed with
great power of self-control, and he had preser-
'cd his absent and iuattantlve air all the time
lnd while the dialogue continued, he thought
low curously his attempt to avert a laugh, BY
pretending not to know German, had resulted.
lie looked carefully at Bertha, and his resolu-
ion was taken. Alta new station the conduc-
or came again for the tickets. Our young
nan with extra elaboration, and in excellent
ierman, said: .
"Ah, you want my ticket. Very well let
ne see-I believe it is in my portmaunaie Oh,
cs, here it s."
The effect of the coup-de- theater was start t
ing. Bertha nearly tainted away, but soon Il
covered under the polite apologies of the r
oung Frenchman. They were pleased with c
ach other, and in few weeks Bertha ratified Y
er good opinion of the young man, aud her 0
willingness to marry a Frenchman. They lived Il
