MURDER IN FRANCE. —Miss Addie Margaret Traynor, an English governess, 111 years of age, has been tried at Carcassonne, on the chmge of stealing jewellery and poisoning her pupil, Henri de Lescure, a child three years of age, at Bourigeole. On the 31st of July last, a month after the prisoner's arrival, the child was taken suddenly ill, and, after some horns, died. Shortly afterwards Madame de Lescure missed some jewellery, and accused the prisoner, who stoutly denied the theft, but afterwards, on the articles being picked up en a much. frequented road near the mansion, stated that she had borrowed them in order to be photographed with them. The suspicion then arose that the child, who was very precocious, saw her take them, and that fearing a disclosure she poisoned him. The body was exhumed, and traces found of antimony and arsenic, being the ingredients of sonic pills taken by the lace M. de Lescure, and a box of which remained in a chest. The jury acquitted the prisoner. A few days since a little girl named Butler, eight years of age, had a marvellous escape from being drowned at Hungerford, Wilts. The inhabitants of a row of cottages are supplied with water from a well, GO or 70 feet deep, and the little girl in question, who lived in one of these cottages, went to the well to draw some water. A younger child, a sister, was coming towards it, and to prevent the little one from falling in, the elder child let go the handle and was knacked or fell in. The mother. hearing the rope running out, ran to the well, and discovered what had happened. The poor child called out. "Mother, draw me out, lam not burl." She, it seemed, had caught the rope in falling, and one foot was in the bucket and the other in the water. The mother turned the handle and the child was rescued without injury, save a few bruises from contact with the side of the well in her rapid descent. The Anglican Establishment will receive quite a batch id new bishops, enthroned at Halifax, Liverpool, Newcastle, and Southwell, in addition to those already located at Truro and St. Alban's. The main question is naturally one of money ; for an Anglican prelate is nothing if he do not possess the income of a feudal lord. The degrees if Episcopacy form an interesting study. One may be very much a Bishop, or only slightly so. There are Bishops Suffragan, Bishops Ci whom], Bishops in partilmg Bishops of Parliament, and Bishops not of Parliament. It is odd that while new Bishi price are created, the few small sees that remain are neither enlarged nor absorbed. The see of Sodor and Man remains intact, no doubt, because of the sea, (with an o) that surrounds it, and not on account of any strong Manx sentiment on the matter. The Bishop of Winchester wishes that the Channel Islands hail a bishop of their own. The late bishop, Dr. NViberforce, (of saponaseons memory) had the strongest aversion to visit that part of his diocese. Upon the occasion of one visitation, he was so tired of the water that he sent word to the vicar of Alderney to bring over his candidates for confirmation to Guernsey, ti save him the trouble of the extra voyage. The vicar wrote back to inform his lordship that he should do nothing of the kind; but that if the children were not confirmed at once, they would go over to the methodists. The bishop did not like the voyage, but he liked the methodists worse, and set off, accordingly, by the next boat. Such are the amenities of Episcopacy in stormy sees.
