TERRIBLE MURDER IN FRANCE.  The trial of four prisoners for a murder, whlch for diabolical premeditition and cold. blooded execution ' has scarcely been surpassed, has just been con- ' eluded by the Assi:e Court of St. Omer. The victim was Andre Delhaye, the occupier of a farm at La Daree, about two and a half miles from Samer, and th murderers were his wife, Delattre, her brother, a, man named Dubosquelle. who had been dis charged from the service of the deceased in consequence of his relations with Mdme. Delhaye, and Butel, a farm labourer. The lease of the farm having neatly expired. Delhaye had taken another farm, eight miles distant to which he had sent his wife and children, remaining. himself at La Daree with Butel to complete his removal. The following day some men went to the house, which they found closed, and on entering the stables they discovered the body of Delhaye between the horse's ' feet. An !nvesti ation showed that a knife had been thrust through his head from ear to ear, and then twisted about to cut the arteries, and that money which the deceased was known to have in his possession had been stolen. lintel was arrested, and suspicion having attached itself to Dubos. quelle, he also was taken into custody. Butel oonfe-sed that his fellow prisoner had committed I the crime, and that he had assisted him in re moving the body. Ju-t before the trial was to have taken place in June la t, the authorities received unexpected information which identified Delattre and Dubosquelle with an attempted murder of the father-in-law of the former iii 1869. The trial was postponed until last week, and in the interval the strongest evidence was obtained establishing not only the connection of the prisoner with the two crimes, but also showing that Delattre was with Duboequelle at La Daree on the night of the murder, and that Madame Delhaye had urged Butel to get rid of her husband, promising him 2000 francs. Dubosquelle and the woman Delhaye have been sentenced to traraus forces for life, and Butel and Delattre for 20 years.  A Conference on the deficient suppli of English seamen, was held at Liverpool on Tuesday, between Mr. Gray, of the Board of Trade, and the principal local shipownere. It was resolved to make payments to the training ships. Sir Charles Reed, presiding at an education meeting at South Kensington on Tuesday, said he placed full reliance on the Bible first of all, and next to it good scientific knowledge should be imparted. America and Germany were ahead ot England because those countries taught children to use the powers with which they were endowed. The Conservatives of the Denbighshire Boroughs on Tuesday held a fete, near Wrexham in honour of the Hon. George Kenyon, who was presented with an address thanking him for having so courageously fought a losing fight, and hoping he would again contest the Denbigh Boroughs. Mr. Kenyon, in replying, said if circumatances permitted he should be happy again to do all in his power.  The trial trip of the ship Casts.lia, constructed on Captain Dicky's system, took place on Tuesday. It is expected that the peculiar construction of the hull, and the extraordinary breadth of beam, will neutralise the rolling motion, and lessen the danger of sea sickness. On reaching Tilbury, after leaving Victoria Docks, several Board of Trade officials came on board the vessel, and acoompanied it to Calais.  SisalL-Pox AT
