libly die . One of them , however , died , because he did not seek medical advice , bnt tr-usfted himself entirely to the charms of the impostor . ? Phe court sentenced "the woman to thirteen , months '¦ imprisonment , with a fine of fif ty francs . These oases are very common in . "the French rural districts . The Court of Cassation ( presided over by BI . Dupin ) has just 'g iven its decision on san important 'point of law , which has long been in dispute-r-viz ., -whether < a wife married -under the regime of community of goods can , after the-death of her husband , or in case of u separation of property in his lifetime , claim the amount of her fortune out df the personal estate of her husband , in priority to his creditors . The Court has decided -that ehe has : no priority . This judgment is counter to the opinion of M . Troplong , one of the most eminent -of French judges ; but it is said that the majority of the bar are in favour of the decision which has been
• arrived at . A strange case has Tecently come before the Civil ¦ Tribunal . A man , who died in 1816 , left his widow , for the benefit of their four children , a public-house and a ^ restaurant . Some yeaTs afterwards , the woman married a man younger than herself , and , as an antidote to her * faded charms , transferred to him the property which of right belonged to her four children . She and this man , in accordance with 1 a French law , formed a partnership 'for carrying on the two houses of business ; and it was
&o contrived that the man could-easily , in course of time , make himself appear a creditor to the woman . UHi'mately , he put an end to the partnership ; declared that Jus wife was his debtor to the extent of 71 , 168 francs ; and took steps for -selling "the businesses . However , an action iiaving been brought against 'him , the Civil Tribunal has declared 'the partnership null and -void , tout 'has given the woman ' s husband an indemnity of 25 , 000 'francs for having carried on the businesses for several years .
The-editor of the Estqfette has been-sentenced to imprisonment for two-months , and to pay a fine of five hun'dred . francs , for having published an article described as * insulting to religion and public morality . '

STATE OF TRADE . The state of trade during the week ending last Saturday was almost identical with its condition during the previous week . . The improvement , already noted continues to progress in nearly nil the manufacturing towils and districts ; but , at Bradford , local causes—that is to say , the failures of large manufacturers— . have somewhat disturbed the market for wools and worsteds , and ratluar checked the previous improvement . A communication , from that towu says : — "Apart from the state of the market , we have had a somewhat eventful week . With a view to check the inflation of credit , all the woolstaplers here , with one exception , have signed an agreement whereby the terms of payment for wool are henceforth to be . uniform . They . have decided to take either a bill at three months drawn from the date of the invoice , or a fourteen days' banker ' s draft , allowing three months' interest from date of invoice . The terms
previously have been one month ' s open credit , wath a bill at ( our months , or two months' opeu credit , with a bill at three months ; so that the new terms will reduce the period of credit from live months to . three months . " At Sheffield , also , trade continues dull . " Mr . F . Ward , of Norfolk-street , " says a writer from the cfty of cutlery , ' * has introduced a new and improved method of manu-Cacturing the blades of table-knives . by machinery . It is anticipated that this process will rapidly expand , almost superseding the old process of hand-forging , xuid enable Sheffield to hold its ground in competition with the machine-manufactured cutlery now produced in America . "
We , give our readers the benefit of a hint or two extracted from the letter of a merchant at Bordeaux , with respect to the recent vintages : — " All sorts of ' -18 arc out of the market The vintage of ' 51 was always considered good , and is , no doubt , u very similar one to' 41 , so highly prized amongst ourselves here ; and wo fancy we shall , in some live or ten years hence , when we drink the ' 51 , appreciate them almost as highly as the Ml . The ' 54 , a most extraordinary vintage for its precocious flavour , is found to be leas
remurkub'lo as it waxes-older , and , if it loses < oaste with some , then the ' 51 will , notwithstanding the largo stocks laid by , be made a rarity even as the ' 46 is ut present . The ' 55 is only a moderate vintage , and both ' 56 and the new wine ' 57 seem to require a very great deal of selecting . Many estates have so much auncrwl from the disease that their wines , although good at times , do sow and then ferment , and otherwise show signs of being under the influence of the slightest change of temperature . AH'those reudona tend to make 18 » 1 claret tho wine to lay in a stock of . "

Ten political persons , confined m St . Maria Apparente , Naples , have been liberated . Eight had been -shut up since August , 1856 . The process against them had been quashed in June , 1857 , but they have been detained ever since at the mere pleasure of the police . All the Judges of the Grand Criminal Court of Avellino have been dismissed for having acquitted some men who were charged with having conspired for the liberation of Poerio and his companions . The Giudice Regio of the district where ttoe men were arrested has also been dismissed because he had discredited the charge . There is a rumour of an attempted insurrection at Ancona , where there is an Austrian garrison ; but the statement has not been confirmed .
. AUSTRIA . Some bad blood has been created'between France and Austria with respect to the Riverain question . Austria ( according to certain statements generally credited in Paris ) refuses to recognize the right of the parties to the treaty of March 30 th , to meddle with the Riverain Convention . Against this , Count Walewski protests with great vehemence , and he is said to have recently declared that if the Riverain Powers should persist in refusing to submit their convention rto the Paris conference , the latter will
altogether ignore it , and will ntself draw up regulations for the navigation of the Danube in accordance with that part of the rVienna Congress which treats of rivers dividing or traversing different states . It is not positively known whether this language has really been addressed to Austria ; but it seems that a good deal of animosity to JFrance prevails in the political circles at Vienna . —According to a statement from Berlin , Austria has agreed to the revision of the convention by , the Paris Conference .
A number of the Oesterreichisc / te Zeitung has been confiscated on account of an article on the Commercial Academy , which gave offence to some members of the Government . This very article , however , was written at the instigation of the Minister of Finance ! The Emperorhos just performed a gracious act to-¦ wards the Protestants . He has given orders to pay out of-the coffers of the State the sum of 7476 florins for a piece- of ground which is to serve us a cemetery for the Protestant inhabitants of Vienna . A deputation of the 'Protestants waited on the Emperor to thank him for -this act of consideration ; and , in reply , he told them ¦ that the Protestants should in future apply to him in ¦ person in such -matters , and added : — " I am well pleased to see'the representatives of the Protestant communities assemble around me , -and that it has been in my power rto uphold their rights . "
Joachim Haspinger , the renowned clerical leader of the Tyrolese in 1800 , died on the 12 th instant in the Imperial castle of Mirabel , near Salzburg . The religious part of the funeral of Marshal Radetzky took place at Vienna on Monday with great military pomp . The Emperor himself was present , and the religious ceremonial was performed at the Cathedral of St . Stephen . The body was then despatched by rail to the place of sepulture . " A few days since , at seven o ' clock in the evening , " says the Times Vienna correspondent , " -ten armed men , with faces covered with « crape , forced their way into the < houso of a M . iltallivoda , at Aleo-JLondva , in Hungary ,
and demanded hie money and that of two persons who were playing « t cards with him . An they refused to part with then- cash , p . fight ensued , in which M . Kallrvoda was killed , and one of his friends dangerously and the other slightly wounded . A servant-maid who -entered hito ( he room , and endeavoured to succour her master , vrae also cut down by tho robbers with their axes . A crowd 'hud assembled round the house during the souffle , ( b ut the misoreunte managed to oaoape after ' having 'killed a gendarme and mortally wounded another man who came An their way . Two light waggons were in waiting outside the town , and into them the ten men got , and drove uway as if nobbing hud happened . "
