iiiosZRl F M antaRIE.-lt iS st ated ill the Paris papers, that a lnorrible assassination hac been committed in the wood ot' Vincenucs. A Paris ladv, of the niame of Herein, hadi two boys, the one five andl the other six, boarded in Vinceiiucs. She was in the habit of frequentlv visiting tlint, and accompanying thten in their walks. On SUnD (lay, last having cAled at the houwe where thcy lodged, and ge thiem dIrcsee(d in thcir holyday clothes, she wetP.- out with them, aid direcmted thteir walk to the wood. I)uring their proiimenade, the children were accoste(d bV a lady who praised their beau tv, and kissed thetni witi apparent ten- derniess. A few moments attervards, a mats about 4-i- yara of'age, dr-ssed in a blue great coat, caine out of the wood, and approached Madame Herrin, who held her boy in her hand). Like the strange lady wlho immediately preceded, lhe pre- tetide( to adinire their beauty, and kissed the eldest, who immediately screamned " Maianmma, fatmma." 'The wretch had plunigLed a kinife in thc throat of this child; and wvhile' the titotber was looking for the cause of his screams, the assassin took the opporttinity of dcspatching the other. 'I'le piercing crics of the wi;?tched mother soon attracted somne passenigers, and the genidarmericalinost instantly came to the spot. A suspected person waas arrested shtortly alter- wardLs, and declared by Madame Herrini the murderer of her children. The historv of the criminal and the motives of the crime are as yet undisclosed. That the atrocitv was prenmeditatud, is evident from the known concert between the murderer and the maonster who " betraved his victims with a kiss," and fromn tIme previous inquiries which had been inadie about them in the village where they were bearted. 'rhe twvo children expiTed inistaintly. DlEPrE, Oct. -.-A gentlemiian who wvas present when the lady gained admistsion through the GuaLrds of Charles X. in the Ch/a7mps Elyscs, on th^ dayof his entry into Paris, and presented a petition to his Mlaj;estv, informs us that yesterday she had the honour to receive tnc King's gracions answer, giving her an appointment in th e Royal H ousehold, where she will be amplv recompensed for her husband's inisfoitunes. We understand her m'aiden name is Nichol- son, and that she is a native of tngland married tO a French subject. At the time of the conflagration of the Boyne, a marine was seated in his birth with his wife and child, a bov about 20 months old. Finding ial hopes of cscaping incffectual, the men took u sheep from the pena, and lashing tbe boyv n its back, dropped thenm imo the ses, saving, *" There, turn to the land and God be vith you." The wile leaped into the sea; the man loUlowed, and supported her till theywere both picked up by a boat; whilst the sheep made for ihe shore with its ciaLr e, wtho was rescued by some of the spectators, who rusbiea tbrwalr to ineet hlijti, and restored bins safe to his parents. AVlhen the heads of the Scottish Noblemen, who sufered in 174P, were exposed at Te,nple-bar, people made a trade ef letting spy -glasses at a halfpenny a look.
