CORRY.  CASE OF POISONING IN FRANCE.—A trial was com• mencod at Strasburgh on the 2tith ult., which has excited the greatest interest, not only in that town, but throughout France. The charge is one of murder by poison, in which the declarations of the Strasburgh professors do not coincide with those of the Parisian chymists. Last November an advertisement was publiished in the newspapers, inviting those who could give information respecting a certain flour-dealer who, during an attack of fever, had risen from his sick bed and taken to flight, to do so at a given address. The disappearance of the man remained a complete mystery, until a few days after his body was found concealed in a water closet. The body was cut up in pieces, and the heart and entrails, which were also afterwards discovered, removed. An inquiry immediately led to the suspicion that the wife of the unfortunate man had committed a murder upon her husband, and taken out the heart and bowels, in order to avoid an accusation of poison, incase of an evental discovery and examination of the remains. She was immediately arrested, and the entrails and heart of the murdered man given tip to the pro • lessors of the university, for the purpose of ascertaining. whether they contained poison. A well-grounded supposition that this must be the case was the more general, inasmuch as arsenic was found in the house of the accused, and it was also proved by an apothecary that the prisoner bad bought such poison in the preceding August, from which period the deceased had commenced to sicken. The chymical professors of Sixasburgh declared that they had found no traces of arsenic in the remains delivered to them. The auie, engaged in the investigation were, however, not s.itilied with this statement, but sent the corpse to Paris for analysis, wi;ere Professors Duvergie, Chevalier, and Flandi.l discovered in it a stro:,g dose of arsenic. These professors are now at Strasburgh, and at the trial repeated their statement. By desire of the Court and jury, the trial was adjourned for the purpose of making a renewed analysis, of which the result has not yet been made public. The ac' ens :(1, who wishes to make it believed that her husband poisoned hieiself, has a very bad reputation ; and. in the course of the trial, aaother crime has come to light. It appears that live years ago a step-child of the accused fell from a garret window, and was picked up lifeless. Ail the facts conspire to prove that in this case also a wiltul murder was committed oy the accused in order to insure a larger inheritance to her own children. CnicKET.—The first match this season between the Windsor and Star and the St. James's Metropolitan Clubs came oft. in the Bursas, at Eton, on Monday.
