An extraordinary case has just occurred at the assizes of Somme, in France. 11 appears that nearly a year ago a woman was tried on the charge of killing her father. She pleaded guilty, and was sentenced to the galleys for life. Her confession now proves to have been false. The true murderers—for there are two—have been discovered, and condemned to death. In her examination at the new trial the woman mid that she was confined in a close cell foe six or seven weeks, being allowed to leave it only twice daring the whole of that time. Accustomed to outdoor life, and being at the same time pregnant, she suffered dreadfully and asked daily for air. The reply always was, "Confer and you shall come out." She did confess, and the liberty she inquired was granted. She Qom seems to have feared that her husband might be suspected, and also that her confinement might take place in the cell she eo much dreaded, if she retracted her statement ; so that, relying upon the chances of a verdict with "extenuating circumstances," . . . .  she repeated her confession at the trial. The tone taken by the Home and Foreign &titan (a Roman catholic organ) has been lately instanced as an iodination that the intelligent Roman catholic 1 ay were not willing to be identified with the Ultramootane policy. The denunciations hurled by Cardinal Wiseman at the publication have also been alluded to. We have now to add to the condemnation of the Cardinal the protest of Bishop Ullathorne, of Rimingham, the concluding portion of which is se follows: "It is now my duty to write moat pairdul yet needful words, and todeclare that in the Rambler, of which the Home and Foreign Review is • continuation, there are contained propositions which are respectively subversive of the faith, heretical, approachioq to heresy, erroneous, derogatory to the teaching church, and offensive to pious earn. And I have to fulfil my office further, my rev. brethren, by reminding you of the duty of guarding the faithful, ever whose souls you watch, lest, by reading those productions, they imbibe their un-cetholic sentiment' and their errors." The students of the Ecole de Medicine at Paris reads a "demonstration" on Monday against their new lecturer, Dr. Royer. It appears there are two reasons for the ebullition of feeling ; the first is, he is one of the physicians in ordinary to the Emperor, and the second, that his appointment was considered by the student& as en act of flagrant favouritism. The moment the lee. Wirer 'opened his lips a storm of hisses nod cries were raised. The only words of the lecture heard was the opening sentence La ,olemniff qui now assemble, but beyond this hardly a word could be caught even by persons close to him. The sergens de villa bad to interfere ; but their appearance did not at once calm the storm. The bust of the Emperor, which stood on • pedestal opposite the chair, was thrown down ; a few say intentionally, others allege by occident. The bargees de ville tried to lay hold of the rioters, and after much resistance on their part anceiveded in carrying off the ringleaders in custody. A letter from Rome of the 13th says :—" Although King Francis IL has quitted the Quirinal, and re. moved with his ministers to the Farness Palace, the Count sad Countess de Trani, who recently arrived here, alighted at the first-named residence. The return of the Queen is no longer looked for."
