MURDER IN JERSEY.—With sincere sorrow we announce the perpetration of a horrible murder in this island. On Tuesday night, the 14111 inst., between the hours of 9 and 10 o'clock, Mr. ifacquoil, Centenier of St. Ouen, lodged at the station-house one of tre inhabitants of [that parish named Josue Le Gresley, son of Peter, from Vincbelez, whom ho bad arrested on the charge of murdering his wife Henriette Le Feuvre dit Fiellastre. From information obtained from Mr. Heequail we learn that La Gresley was seen in the morning digging potatoes ; and his unfortunate wife was observed about five minute past 10 o'clock with a digging fork in her hand, proceeding in the direction of where her hueband was employed. Afterwards he waq seal, tending his pigs, and performing other work, but tlie poor woman was seen no more alive. At 12 o'clock the children returned from school, and, not finding their mother at borne, went in search of her, when, frightful to relate, the weir creatures found their parent dead in a field. Help having been obtained, it was ascertained that the murdered woman hal been killed with the fork, one of the prongs of which having been driven into the back of the skull, and entering the brain, must have caused instant death. When picked up the body was cold and rigid. The prisoner was found in a state of seemine indifference, and fr ,ra the time of his arrest until !hie morning has maintained a gloomy silence. There can be litle if any doubt that the man is in a state of apathetic insanity. We hear that some years ago he had been addicted to excessive drinking, and 18 kept confined to his kitchen. Most months past was. likely the fatal deed by which ne has stained his handsa with blood and deprived his children obf.utrheiormosthnee passion. The inquest is being r was the consequence of some u held at the momentof our going to press.—Jersey independent.  'ERN PO WEE!.  The following is a full translation of the article in the Moniteur, of which a summary appeared in our impression of yesterday : " As soon as peace was concluded the first care of the Paris Congress was to insure its duration. With that object in view the Plenipotentiaries examined into the elements of discord which still existed in Europe, and especially turned their attention to the condition of Italy, of Greece, and of Belgium. The observations exchanged on that occasion were everywhere received with a spirit of cordial understanding, because they were inspired by a sincere solicitude for the quiet of Europe, and at the same time evinced the respect which Was due to the independence of all sovereign States. "Thus, in Belgium the Government, agreeing 'with the opinion upon the excesses of certain organs of the press, showed itself disposed to put a stop to them by every means in its power. "In Greece the financial plan of organisation submitted to the appreciation of the protecting Courts proves the readiness of the Greek Government to hearken to the counsels of the Congress. "In Italy the Holy See and the other States admit the expediency of clemency and internal reforms. "The Court of Naples alone haughtily rejected the counsels of France and of England, although given under the most amicable form. "The rigorous and compressive measures which for a long time have been turned into means of administration by the Government of the Two a state of agitation, and Sicilies keep Italy in compromise the peace of Enrdpe. Convinced of she dangers arising from such a state of things, France and England had hoped to avert them by *wise counsels given at an opportune moment ; those counsels have been disregarded ; the Government of the Two Sicilies, closing its eyes to evidence, has thought fit to persevere in a fatal course.
