FREDERICK FRANZ.  " L. V. LUTZOW." A Government order has also been issued proclaiming a general mourning for the spaces of three months. Another proclamation sets forth that during certain hours, the bells shall be tolled, and that no organs shall be permitted to be played at this period. No ballet-music is to be allowed to be played in any dramatic representation for six weeks, to be dated from the 7th inst.  The Court of Assizes of the Sarthe was occupied, on the 11th, 12th, and 13th inst., with the trial of five men, for the robbery and murder of a farmer in easy circumstances, named Gaine, living in the village of La 3lotte, in the commune of Berus. The man was of a feeble intellect, and easily excited. On the 3d June, he went, as usual, to Alencon to market, and, on his return in the evening, found that a robbery had been effected in his house, by moans of an entry made in the roof. A gun, some books, and clothes, a quantity of thread, and a pocket-book containing notes, had been stolen. Every inquiry was instituted to discover the perpetrators, but to no effect. On September 16, Gaine again went to market and returned in the evening about ten o'clock. He was at that hour seen by several persons just as he went in to bar Ms door. In the middle of the night his neighbours heard loud cries for help, but paid little attention to the circumstances, as he had been frequently known to utter such cries without cause. Some short time after, however, a vivid light was seen to burst from his windows, and on the house being burst into, the unhappy owner was found on the bed enveloped in flames, and with evident marks of violence on his person. The flames were put out without much difficulty, and it was then discovered that combustible matterhadbeen heaped round the bed, to procure a more rapid destruction. Several suspicious characters were taken up, and it came to light by the v,oluntary, though unwilling confession of one of them, nan ted Louvard, a liberated convict, that ho, and four oth,ars, had agreed to rob Gaine, conceiving him to ba a richer man than they discovered of terwards he really was. Of these men, two, brans and Chambrier, propi)soNd to murder him, to prevent the robbery being known, to which two others, Gamier and Belland, offered opposition. They entered the house the second time an they had clone the -first, through the roof, and Gaine, having struggled violently, they stunned him by striking- him on the head, and afterwards strangled him. They then escaped, after taking away what money they could find ; but, before doing so. set fire to the bed 00. which they had placed their victim. All this was denied by the other prisoners, but circumstantial evidence cleany proved the case against some of them. Gamier was acquitted; Bellard and Louvard were found guilty, but with extenuating circumstances, and sentenced to blr,) years' hard labour at the hulks; and brans and ChanaTorier were sentenced to death.
