An artilleryman named Durand, in garrison at Douai, who returned to his barracks, two nights since, somewhat affected by drinking, fell from the window of his room into the court, and was so much injured that he died during the night.  The Tribunal of Correctional Police of Moulins, recently gave judgment in a charge preferred against a notary of Montet, named Michel, lately a candidate for the council of arrondissement, on a charge of having distributed electoral bulletins bearing his name, without having previously obtained the necessary authorisation. M. Michel being acquitted, a new trial was moved for, and took place at the Court of Riom, which confirmed the decision of the lower jurisdiction. An appeal was then made to the Court of Cessation, which ordered the case to be again tried before the Court of Bourges. This third trial has just come on, and has resulted in the confirmation of the judgments of the Courts of Moulins and Riom.  The Steele relates the following act of religious intolerance :—A short time since, an old man, aged 7d, named Dennebeck, who had gone from his house on some business to the neighbouring town of Mouy (Oise), stopped rather late at a public•house, and the night being dark, fell into the river Cherin, along the bank of which he had to pass, and was drowned. The cure of the parish attributed his death to suicide, and in spite of the remonstrances of his family, of the juge de pais, the commissary of police, and other functionaries, who clearly established that the death was purely accidental, refused Christian burial to the body.  The Court of Assizes of the Seine-et-Oise has just tried a man named Joubert, a labourer. rharer, slaughter committed on the person of another labourer, named Cateau, at Noisy-le-Grand, on the 30th July. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner and his victim had been drinking together, and that when both were rather excited by what they had taken, the prisoner asked Catean to give him a blouse and waistcoat, which the latter carried in a bundle, as a security for 10f. which he had lent him. On receiving a refusal, Cateau attempted to take the bundle, and in the quarrel which ensued the prisoner stabbed him in the abdomen with his pocket knife, inflicting a wound which caused the man's death two days afterwards. The prisoner declared that he had used the knife under great provocation and in self-defence, and the jury, believing this to be true, brought in a verdict of not guilty. The prisoner was accordingly set at liberty. A widow, named Chatenet, was tried two days since by the Court of Assizes of the Charente on a charge of murdering her newly born infant. The body was found concealed in an outbuilding with the head nearly severed from the body. The prisoner admitted that the murdered child was hers, but asserted that it had been killed by its father, a farm servant, living in a village three leagues distant. This, however, was proved to be false by the young man's employer, who proved that ho was at home when the crime must have been committed. The jury having found the prisoner guilty, the Court sentenced her to 20 years' hard labour.  THE POTATO DlSEASE.—Complaints are made that potato disease has reappeared in West Suffolk, and in the neighbourhood of Newmarket. The disease is at present only very partial, and it is considered that the crop generally presents an improvement upon last year, the tendency since the disastrous year 1845 having been towards a gradual although rather irregular amelioration.  The Press of Vienna says that at Dornbirn, in the Voralberg, a vise is now to be seen bearing no less than 1,906 bunches of grapes.  A great festival for the conclusion of the harvest has just been held at Munich. Mass was performed in the Church of Notre Dame, and followed by a procession. The crop in Bavaria has been one of the most abundant known.  An explosion of fire• damp took place three days ago in a ceal mine at Elouges, in Belgium, not far from the French frontier. A considerable part of the sides of the pit fell at the same time and buried from 15 to 20 workmen beneath the fallen mass. Prompt measures were adopted for their release, but up to the present time no account of the result has been received.  The inauguration of the section of the Toulon and Nice railway from the former town to Arcs, noir Draguignan, has just taken place. The Emperor yesterday received a letter fromthe sty Grand Duke of Saxe-Weimar, announcing to his 2,feinjaecu the death of Duke Bernard of Saxe-Weimar-PI-i-nnin; The Court will go into mourning three days, from to-day.
