HORRID MURDER.  GENEVA, No v. 4.—A double assassination, the details of which seem to furnish the counterpart to that of the unfortunate Fualdes, was committed on the Ist instant, in the suburbs of this city, on the person of M. Corboz and his servant. Those two victims were found horribly mutilated in the house which they occupied at Plain Palais. It would appear that a long and hard struggle had precedA the perpetration of the crime ; but the murderers have not left behind them the least trace that can lead to discovery. It happened, however, that the same night the murder was committed, tWo young men, who were returning from shooting, alarmed a man who was carrying a porter's hod, and as he saw them, he threw the contents into a ditch. A little farther off they met another man- similarly burdened. On the following day they learned that five men had crossed the lake, carrying With them a quantity of effects;' and leaving behind a trunk at a public-house. The police immediately searched the ditch and found s,,,,veral 'things belonging to AL Corboz, and among them some bloody. linen. The trunk, also, was filled with things stolen after the murder. Some days afterwards, a well-dressed man, who was travelling with a dealer in Wipe, ordered , the coachman who drove them to call for' the trunk at the hmise wheie it had been left: The wine-mT,hant, who had prei,iously noticed that the hands and face of the prisoner were much scratched, now suspected him of being` one of the murderers, and Lad him arrested. This was not done without great difficulty. The assassin, who is named Machon, is a powerful man, and it was not until after a long personal conflict between hint and a French gendarme 'that he was' secured, and lodged in prison at Gex. Since that time, Madam 8., who belongs .to a family-of ra,dc in the neighbourhood, has been arrested as an accomplice, and she has promised to reveal ev.ry thing upon condition of her life being sparel. A professor of Italian, who is also suspected, I:as lied. Six men and two women, besides Machon and Madam B. have been arrested. Machon is the captain of a banditti called " the Black Band." Thegendarme who secured him was carried in triumph upon the shoulders of the populace to the town-hall at Geneva, where he was publicly thanked by the magistrates, and rewarded with 50 Napoleons (111. 13s. 4d.)  CONCEALED Ronnta-v.—lt will be recollected that information was some time since received at Marlborough-street, of a, robbery in the hoiAse of Lord William Fitzroy, when his Lordship's dressing-case, containing W. in money, with Valuable trinkets, as stolen in rather a mysterious way. The property, hoWever, has been recovered by means as`_extraordinary. ,The account is, that a countryman, in the employ of Mr. Frogget, a farmer at Paddington, had repaired to a certain bush in a field, after his day's labour, for the purpose of hiding his pitchfork and shovel till the following day, as was customary with him, when, in doing so, he turned up a dressingcase, carefully tied up itt a handkerchief, and wrapped in brown paper, which he hailed as a fortunate hit. Thinking all was perfectly fair, the labourer took the parCel to a Gentlenratt. in Chancery-lane, to whom also he recounted the circumstances of the discovery. It was ascertained, from the heraldic insignia, that the property in question was no other than that stolen from Lord William Fitzroy, which circumstance was notified to him. Mystery still enveloped this affair. In the meantime, the countryman will beexamined, and some clue remains for the detection of the thief. Wm. Dottsur FELLOWS, Esq. Secretary to the Great Chatnberlain of Envland, who is on a visit to Lord TORRINGTON, at Zotes Conrt,.met with a seriotr, accident on Sunday last, from itt severe kick of his own which, it is apprehended, Will occasion him a long confinement. The romantic melo-drama of The .Vampire has has been got up in great style by DOWTON at the Maidstone Theatre, and with so much success that it is announced for performar.te eve! y evening.
