She does not know a stick from an umbrella.—Mr. Miller: Weald she be capable of understanding her trial here ?—Dr. Moore: No, she would not understand what guilty or not guilty meant. She is quite childish. Mr. Derham, chief constable of Blackpool, said the prisoner belonged to an insane family. Her brother committed Suicide three years ago, glie tad two uncles, but they wou:,l, ao nothing for her—The jury found that the prisoner was unfit to plead, and the neual order for her detotion , during Her Majesty's pleasure was then made.

THE FASCINATING TRUMPETER. A PATHETIC CASE.  The course of true love so frequently does not run smooth that fortunately few people, young IS otherwise, in the present practical age, put an en, d to their lives out of despair at not being able to% wed the object of their affections. The disappointed in love generally manage to live down their sorrow, which is distinctly more rational than to commit suicide, as FOOLISH WOMM, who had not even the excuse of early youth to plead, has just done, under rather peculiar circumstances, in the neighbourhood of Paris. From the ,windowe of her lodging, it seems, she frequently taw a trumpeter, and became so fascinated, either hintot by the manner in which he handled his tunitrument, that a fixed ides took possession of her ratitd. She must either marry Alfred, the trumpeter, or die. Of this she found means to irstorm him but the desperate nature of her case laid to BRING HIM TO HER FEET, and verequitod affection, it is to be prestmed, turned her brtin. She was found dead is her lodgings .% day or two since, havitig.swallowed a decoction of poppy heads, and, in adettion, lighted a charcoal'. stove In her room. To leave no doubt as to the motive 4f her rash act, the poor womau had purchasied a number of halfpenny toy. trumpets, with which,, before putting an end to herself, she had composed the name Alfred, adjusting her arrangement round the stove, the fumes from which stifled her. Perhaps she hoped to wring Alfred's heart. But its this toe fascinating trumpeter had not jilted her, be has nothing to reproach bmiself with.
