HORRID MURDER IN FRANCE.  The following appears in the Journal de rArdcche of the 25th of June :—" On the 20:h of thin month, at Baudouin, a village near Priem, Madame Anthouard, aged 45 years, widow of M. Anthouard, (who war himself assassinated three years ago,) I.er five children, Mr. Tronibarim, minister of the protestant church ; Mr. Malaigue ; Madame Roustin, the sister-in-law of Madame Antbouard, and a person named Barmier, aged 30 years, a servant of the sister-in law tit Madame Anthouard, had assembled together to discuss an efliiir of interest to all of them. In order to make ' our readers understand the history of this meeting, we shall go back some distance. Madame Anthounnl, although she had been intimate with Barmier, finding herself threatened by him, denounced him to the police about six months ago, and he was put into prison. Madame Anthouard, however, who really loved this young wan, sent into prison every thing he could desire, and, in the end, demanded It's liberty, which was granted. Those who listen only to passion ntarch inevitably upon ruin. Madame An. thouard is a new proof of this sad truth ; she resolved to marry Barmier, and writild listen to no advice to the contrary. On the 801 a June the sister of Banner was condemned to death for the robbery and murder of Madame Brunel. This circumstance naturally caused Madame Anthouard to reflect, and the friends above named assembled together for the purpose of persuading her not to commit so rash an act as to marry Barmier. .They succeeded ; and Bare:ler was cilia' in and told that Madame Anthouard could not be his wife. Barmier left the room apparently calm, hut in a few moment., overcome with disappointment at not marrying this rich widow, he returned with a knife in ins hand, and plunged it into her bosom. Ile drew the knife out, anti struck it into her arm, which she had held out to defend herself. 11cr eldest daughter, Emily, ran forward. bat Earatier cried out, `• Oet hack ; I do not want to injure you." Josephine, the youngest daughter, then stood before her mother, and was struck to the ground by the montiter, by two stabs in the left shoulder. M. Al alaigue escaped with &slight wound in the neck, his hat and the collar of his coat having weakened the blow which the villain aimed at him. Al. Trornba. tin stood forward to oppose Baratier—his age and his white hairs were PO protection—the monster struck at and he fell severely wounded. A little girl, aged ten years, was then struck at, but she saved her lite by falling under the arms of Baratier. The assassin rushed out of the house. stabbed himself in five places, and then threw himself into a large drain near the spot where he had committed his deeds of horror. He was found dead, with his face salsinst the ground, and was buried on the same day ; stores were thrown upon his coffin. Madame Anthouard died on the following day, and her daughter and Mnrisieur Trombarim are not out of danger, but hopes are entertained that they may recover.  A horrible accident happened the beginning of last week in Mr. Lowndes's Park, near Chesham. A bull had beep, for the first time this season, turned into the Park on Monday, when a boy, who bad assisted at a hay-stack, removing to take his dinner to sonic other part of the field, oat of sight of his comrades, the bull, it appears, attacked him, and left him dead upon the ground. The companions of the poor boy were ignorant of his fate, till a person, passing by, saw the bull furiously pawing the ground, and, looking around, perceived the appearance of apparel, and discovered I the unfortunate lad weltering in his blood. Spreading alarm, he I collected assistance, and with difficulty drove the furious animal I from the spot, to which the people proceeded to ascertain the con' dition cf the victim. The boy was lifeless, with many of his limbs troken. From marks upon the ground, it appeared that the bull had, on the first effort, thrown the poor boy a very considerable distance, and, from the blood that was on the Park palings, mom of which were broken, it also seemed as if the hapims youth had made an unsuccessful effort to escape by getting ever them. It wee after that effort, it is supposed, the furious animal completed its aarguinety work.—Backs C.sfort.
