NEWS FROM PARIS.  The Comte de Lambilly and MM. de Onuvello Sehmoderer and Rubino have just been brought before the Court of Loriont on a charge of uttering seditious cries at a Legitimist banquet, held on Sept. 29, at Ste. Anne d'Auray. It was deslared by witnesses that H. de I4inbilly had pronounced the following words: "I drink to the health of oar well beloved King, Henri Cing. Vise Henri Cing ! Vice le Illrapeau Blanc ! Down with the Republic!" The rest of the company had joined in the cry, and a song had been sung with the : chorus of Viva le Roi !" at the end of each verse. Some of this evidence was questioned by the defence, und it was maintained that the reunion had all along been of a private character. Judgment is deferred for a week.  The French are taking one more step in the wake of the Germans. M. Cochery, the Minister of Posts and Telegraphs, recently applied to the Government for a credit of 8,000,001 d. for the establishment of subt.rraueati teleguiph wires along some of the principal lines, to take the place of the suspended ones, sheuld the latter become incapacitated by the weather or any other cause. The total length it is proposed to lay is 95 kilometres. Considerable sensation was caused at Vertaillee day or Iwo ago by the discovery of the mutilated body of a aNtanall on the line near Mention, a station of the Paris and Versailles Railway, and much curiosity arose as to whither she met with her death through !WM* sit, murder, or suicide. An inquiry is being held into the ease, mid many curious details have come to light. A piece of the tender woo found broken off near the scene of the catastrophe, though strange to say, no report lias yet riaehi it any of the railway inspectors of a tender having arrived with corresponding piece missing. One of the unfortunate woman's feet is still being searched for, but, seeing the horrible mutilation she was subjected to by the passing trains, it is not surprising that part of her body should be missing, having probably been carried away by One of them. It is generally supposed that the womau, whose was Elise Goliniche, committed suicide, as no ti.ket was found on her to prove that she had travelled by train, and the circumstances of the case hardly point to murder. It is stated that from the dreadfully deformed andsmitts toted condition of the body it most have been on the line some hours before discovery, each passing train knocking it first to right and then to left. The inquiry is still continuing. The body of a youth and that of a young girl have been found frozen and buried in snow in the ditch of the fortifications. It has been discovered that the couple were prevented by their families from seeing one another, and were in the habit of meeting clandestinely at the place where the cold overtook them. Medicial evidence showed that they died of congestion of the brain brought on by extreme cold. The despair of the two families may be imagined. A policeman has Veen found frozen on the Quai de Montebello. Animation had nearly ceased, and, had he not been discovered, a few minutes more would have certainly killed him. Ile was taken to a chemist's, and, after some trouble, brought to consciousness and conducted home. .  Several people have walk( 1 on the ice across the Seine to the great delight of lookers on from the , bridges. It is reported that some, trying a like feat on the Marne, fell in and were drowned. The reputation for eccentricrty which England always enjoys in the opinion of their neighbours does not seem likely to die out. A day or two ago a son of Albion laid a wager of £2,000 that he would remain on the top of the Arc do Triomphe for four hours with nothing on but a suit of thin canvas. Any one who has felt the cold that has reigned in Paris during the last week will appreciate the difficulty of the task which tha hardy Englishman accomplished, winning the bet. The thermometer showed fifteen degrees of cold during this gentleman's sojourn oh high. The green-eyed monster has been the cause of a dreadful tragedy at Lyons. A young woman of ighteen, who lived away from her husband, wits visited by him early the other merging, when he, while she was still aslee,n, eiupthd on her a whole bottle of sulphuric lLeiS which inflicted the most df dteaul burns on her body. Her nit, brought the neighbours on to the scene, who transported her to the hospital, where she died soon after. The man was arrested.
