Murder in Paris.

Yesterday Mr.. Charles Il. Whitehead, the
counsel for the French Consulate executed
commission rogatory in the United States Dis
trict Court taking testimony in regard to the
murder OF Thomas Laverque.
1t appears that Thomas Laverque a Judge of
one OF the French Courts, and a man aged
seventy-eight years. while coming from London
TO Paris in October last, made the acquaintance
Of a Young Frenchman named Gabriel Poncet
90 the 5th of that month the Judge and the
young man walked out together to spend the
evening.
On tue next day the body Of the old Judge was
found in the BOis de Boulogne with several stabs
In the breast and the pockets riled. The young
Frcnchman was arrested, but showed no proof
Of guilt. Under crosseXamination he stated
that he had been q waiter at FiiuXs Hotel, in
New l Orb, and who his acquaintanCes had been
there. Hereupon q commission rogatory was
sent to this city, through the French Consul, to
examine whoever might have knowledge con-
Celning the matter.
The commission executed, it was discovered
that Gabriel Pon.et came to this country an
escaped .forcdt from Cayenne. That he worked
during the month of August last at Fiuxs Hotel,
in Waverle place, and being then quite poor he
was sent by the liberality OF Mr.. Wiedenkeler, a
compatriot, back TO France, where, on mis- arri
val, he was arrested for this murder.
But the link in the proof obtained which will
weigh heaviest with the accused, was, that he
had sent box with some presents in it to the
friends who had aided him at New York. The
box being intercepted was found to contain the
watch and oLher valuables OF the murdered man.
The commission, with all the evidence was
returned this day to the Tribunal of Versailles
that had issued it.-N. Y. Herald.

A Story of the King of Portugal.
\ Paris letter-writer says:-

"A GallS leblcI-WTlt6r SdNS.-
'Last week a young foreigner, dressed with
perfect simplicity, went into Deyi'me's, the gun.
smiths shop on the Boulevard des Italiens, and
asked for double-barrelled gun to Shoot wild
boars, and expressed his anxiety to try Devisme's
new explosive balls. NJ. Devisme happening to
be in his shop, entered into conversation with
the young man. and at once recognizing genu-
inc Nimrod, remarked that as it was absurd to
try either guns or balls in a mere shooting gal
lery he invited him to his country place at
Argenteuil, where he was going to shoot the fol-
lowing day, and would be very happy to be ac'
COmpanied by his new acquaintance. The young
man asked how long it would take to reach his
house. Two hours replied Devisme; Il start
by the ten train. In half an hour we snail reach
our destination, and it will take us about three
quarters of an hour to try the guns, and half an
hour to return; but it occurs to me that ii is
breakfast hour. l can offer you a outlet and an
omelet hunters fare.' 'Bravon y said the young
foreigner, III accept After selecting his gun,
Devisme inquired his name and address. The
young man took the pen from NJ. Devisme, and
wrote in the book of addresses 'Roi de Portugal,

Fight Between Rebels and Union Men in
Tennes see,
from the NdshviVe Union, 5h.


A gentleman from Overton county arrived in
this city yesterday, who gives us the particulars
OF a difficulty between four or five returned
Rebels, and as many late Union soldiers, which
cannot but be read with interest at this
time by the mass of the people who are anxious
to see law and order restored throughout the
gentleman in question, that ever since the re-
turn OF these parties (and they both reached
home at about the same time), there has been a
feud existing between the parties, and on Thurs
day last, it eliminated in fight, in which Mr..
turned Rebel received slight wounds from pis-
tolls. The parties were attending a vendue and
foolishly commenced discussion on poliJics,
which resulted as we have already indicated.

views presented by them were different, as regards
many points from those expressed by Maj

ration of the people and their Legislators. But
having devoted so much room to the speech of
Major ABSEr, the formally invited orator of. the
day, we find ourselves without space for further
account of the proceedings of this interesting and
important meeting.
We must not close, however, without stating
that the Hon. A. P. ALDRIcH had also been for
mally invited to attend on this occasion, and ad-
dress the people. But up to the time of the

pity and compassion upon Thy servant, whorn
Thou hast laid in q place. .of darkness and the
deep Give him always a sorrowtul sense of
his sins and Of Thy fatherly love and correc-

From Canada.

OTTAWA, CANADA, June 23
. In the Canadian Parliament Gait moved
for naturalization of Government for ex-
penses incurred during present Fenian trou-
bles. Several members of the Government
party advocated the move, when Mr.. Cham
bers, of Brookyille, obtained the floor, and
spoke against it. He said that Canada could
not support troops enough to resist the Uni
ted States. A thousand Fenians was very
different matter from thirty-6ve millions Of
Americans. lie also called for an investiga-
ton Of conduct Of some of the commanders Of
the provincial troops during the trouble and
denounced the management of the volunteers
as blunder.
Mr.. Chambers was continually interrupted
and hissed, the uproar becoming so great, at
tiaes, as to drown his remarks. He was re-
piled 10 by Mr. Darcy McGee, and the moti:n
of Mr.. Gait was adopted.
