French only look before-never reflect on
the past or weigh the present. The ruler
that could satisfy their affection is no where

love, Napoleon governs by fear. Possibly,

BERRYER's FUNERAL.

towns of France attended at Augerville on
Monday. Paris sent two special trains
filled with the rank and worthy of the En-

and Belgian bars sent deputations Of four
members each, and the carpenters and
printers, delegates. The day was very
wet, and from the station to Augerville-
some two miles-hundreds of people had
to walk. Arrived at the chateau, the friend
proceeded to the modest catafalque, where
rested the coffin, on which lay some crowns
and deceased's professional robe. After
sprinkling some holy water, each withdrew
to partake of refreshments. A rather an

REMARKABLE CRIMINAL CASES. 80 -
Marseilles has been the centre Of sensa-
tional attraction this week in the trial of
the "widows" for poisoning their hus-
bands, as well as their accomplices. The
proceedings revealed the lowest depths OF
human degrsdation-an abandonment OF
every feeling of charity and moral re-
straint. Adulterous loves, vulgar in
trigues, and sordid gain, constituted the at
traction, which drew hundreds to Mar
seilles to witness the drama, and ladies !"
we're provided with reserved seats. Vile
poisoned her husband, weaver, on the
10Th of May Saluago, porteress, hers
on the Sd of February and Gabriel, keeper
of wine shop, killed her lord on the 9th
of August. The main object of the prison
ers was to get rid of their husbands to live
without restraint with lovers, during the
lifetime Of whom they gratifed their las
ciyious passions without shame or fear.
They have confessed, denied, and reavowed
their guilt but their examination was
ostensibly to convict their accompGces.
The mother and cousin of Gabriel were
but common procurenes,. making Gabriefs
shop licentious rendezvous, trading on the
daughters beauty, and instigating her to
dispatch her husband, an honest young me-
chanic. But Fanny Lambert and Joye were
the master spirits. Lambert is an abandoned
woman-a fortune-teller-and mother of
three children. Her specialize was to dis
cover husband and wife who wished each
other dead, and working on the wife, put
her in communication with Joye, Licensed
herbalist, who supplied the swift messenger
of death-in the shape Of arsenical solu-
tions and leaves of bella-donna. The crime
was revealed to the police in August last
by mason named Maroni, to whose wife
Lambert had made overtures, but counted
without her host. Excepting Gabriel, her
coaccused are middle-aged, vulgar, buxom
women, dressed in mourning, and down
cast. Gabriel is but twenty, very hand
some, attired in elegant weeds, Italian eyes
and dark, wavy hair she is i'll, and is car
ried into court on mattress, with canopy
overhead. She does notspeak, butlooks. The
character of the examination was direct
bringing home of the guiltto all parties, and
recriminations between the accused. Joye
and Lambert are the principal objects OF
popular fury. Joye has the most perfect
resemblance to On ape, and many have left
Paris to see this representative OF the
"unity of races" He is believed to be
Wholesale poisoner, and completely battied
the doctors at Marseilles. In his shop
there was a beggsrly account of empty
boxes, and his professional library con-
sisted of publication called The DsuI,
or u Journal of HeN," illustrated in red,
blue, green, upon white, and in black on
colored paper. 1t was q collection Of the
filth of Marseilles and Tie edifying slang
of the naiSon de tolerance. The Faculty
had erected quite laboratory IT the court
to explain the process of detecting arsenic
in the bodies Of the deceased-pa-ts Of
whose remains were also revealed, but hnd
to be almost Immediately removed, from
their offensiveness. The counsel for the
prisoners made an ad miSsricordi@nr appeal
on their behalf, pleading "extennating cir
cumstances "a plea which does ewsy With
the penalty Of death, and which will IN all
probability be extended, except &c tho man
