BRILLIF.—In tragical love alfalta the cold upl rational city of Berlin emulates warm and susceptible Vienna. At the moment when in the bates eci2.:, youth of eighteee, the only son of wealthy parent, nod himself for aeeing bis love for a young girl of is own age unrequited, • young man of our city shot' for • similar reason, the girl be adored. At the inquest he, bursting into txars, threw himself over the deed body. exclaiming in an agony of grief, "Oh, my poor May r It might scarcely be supposed that under our cold grey sky, on the aanily soil of our marches, such wild passions could flare up, and yet there happen even here snore wonderful things, calculated to pus-lis psychologists. Thus, a labourer of an age tolerably advanced, commit, suicide by hanging himself from unhappy love for • blind itinerant harp-playing woman of nearly sixty year.! If such thine happen among tt e aged, it is not surprising if a youth snatches up a pistol, and in his blind fury levels It at his former aw,ethrart because she has no loafer • smile for him. The woman thus murdered, herself • girl of eighteen, was working at • factory. Her unhappy lover waited In the evening until the girl quitted her work, when be wont up to her saying he could not live without her, and caked her if she had no pity on him. Receiving no answer, he, overwhelmed with wild despair, discharged at her a pistol loaded with two bullets. But immediately after his rash deed he was seised with remorse, and to the functionsrirs who had him in custody he has repeatedly expressed a hope of being speedily etecutvd. Another occurrence has crested even more sensation, because it is still shrouded in mystery. The wife of a painter in redneed circumstance., and addicted to intemeeranoe, had officially announced her hoshand's death. The medical man found blisters on the noes of the corpse, and a mark of strangulation on the back of the neck. In consequence of this the wife of tbe deceamed WU apprehended; but she strenuously •aserts her innocence, saying that the mArk of strangulation had been produced by the edge of the wife, on which the back of the deceased's neck bad rested during the night. At the inquest, owever. It has been ascertained thiit death has been produced by eaternal action, and not in • natural manher. According to the womsn's statement,gie-liu.h. nd Gale home in • state of into:tertian. and after I, tel fallen from his chair, she with much trouble dragged him to the sofa. Many circumstances appear, indeed, to speak for the fact that an intentional murder has, in this case, not been eommitted. But a• the husband and wife had, for • long time past, teen l'oonstantly quarreling and disputing, and as, moreover, the comas had the ri putation of carrying on an adulterous intercourse with several 'wing men, many people are of opinion that a murder has really been committed. cares of euicides are events of almost daily necurenee. A few day, ago two men, appan ntly &longing to the higher clam of society, were found, the one at the Alsenbridge, the other at the pond, in the Thiergarten ; both had killed themielvee by firing a pistol into their mouths. —Berlin Con upondent.  Tau FRENCH IN Fannin Seta.— Ile Aforming Herald remarks that from time to time the English noble has been perplexed by information that the French have hen victorious or defeated in certain countries of Eastern Asia. They have been campaigning for several rears on the coast, and their latest exploit is announced on an unsuormsful attempt in Corea. That region, to the fealty of which both the empires of China and of Japan I.y claim, is little known to the rest of the world ; but Franco ha• apparently resolved upon creating for herself • maritime dominion in the far East, a tort of Asiatic Algeria ; and even the Corean Archipelago might g. far to the serve her purr me. The lestteloal Fast belongs to es. No French occupation of Lower Cochin eon vie with nut sway at Agra and Delhi, at Calmat' and Lahore. Oars Is an indefeasible patent, which lan other conquest in the Emit can supeseede. Frame, therefore. when undertaking to vindicate the rights and astenr the slaughter of her missionaries on that aben toned coma, could emits no jealousy on the part of England, We had no exclusive intermit' to protect at the Court of Flue ; we only know that the monarch there is hostile to Christians of every denocce 'nation ; that be tortures and samminates their miniaters; and that he and hi. allies, including the clumsy tyrant of Corea, have felt the force. of French retributive justice. flow does all this affect ourselves? Not in the least att we believe. We have renounced the policy of subjugation and annexation, and have so more Interest in the independence of the Annamese or Coreans than in that of New Siberia or the tented nations of Tartary. There have been I poems of some authority who, no doubt, were alarmed when the Fr itch artillery breach', I the walla of Saigon. What, they asked, .h.II monopolise the trade of the metropolia ti,h Asians rice cutters? Shall she • stablish her influence over those luxurious border.? We confess to a sentiment of the utmost indifference upon the subject. Cheat Britain has sent embassies futile and wetly, and not woetli the salaries of the understr.ippers, to all the kinga of that jondly onset ; has been repelled and contra um:inutile treated • has sucm sled wither in her commercial no; in her religious missims, and in under no ohagation whatever to be nervous about the monarch of Annam or bar 'ornate 'cyanic The French dipinmatia and exlenisatieal satedaert, failing, have heel suocredsi by naval end military expedition., which, alth,uh held •1 bay for a time, mu his the long run, prevail. There in nothing in all that sweep of a. bore which can wit, stand a aettl, determination on th• text of France to extend her rule in Eastern Avis.
