The Proprietor of the above Ointment , after years of acute suffering , placed himself under the treatment of that eminent surgeon , Mr . Aberneihy , —was by bim restored to perfect _ln-alth , aud has enjoyed it ever since witliout the slightest return of the disorder , over a period of fifteen years , during which

      Infasticidk . —Shocking DEriuviTT .--A case of murder ( . says the Kilkenny Moderator ) , evidencing the most unnatural and revolting depravity— -a child , the _offspring of the incestuous intercourse between a brctjier and sister , having been deprived of life by the monsters who gave birth to it—has recently been brought to light in this « ounty . On the 19 th inst ., the police ofthe Goresbridge Constabulary , station received _information tbat a woman lihd been soon under suspicious _cireumstancps with a newly born infant ia a plantation near the town , and on the margin ofthe river Barrow . The party immediately proceeded to the place indicated , but found the woman had left ; they , however , perceived certain marks in the grove which convinced them that a child had been there but a short time previously given birth t ; s . Acting upon suspicion they proceeded to tho house of James Murphy , a pensioner , upon searching whieh

      they discovered several articles of wearing _appurel , marked with certain stains , and having arrested the man and his sister Margaret , the latter was declared , upon a medical examination , to have been recently delivered of a child . Both tlie partieR worn committed to our county gaol by T . _Bcokey , E-q _., J . P ., for ihe murder ofthe infant , which is believed , upon too good authority , to be their own offspring .

But , upon being questioned by one of the magistrates , he said he was not quite _= ure they w . ) e thc ashes of human "bones . Thus far , the circum .

      stances of the case still remain a mystery . The magistrates , however , gave , strict directions to t _) le officers to be vigilant in their endeavours to trace i | out , if p . ssible . Cam . Con . i » France . —A crim . con . eause , a rarity in France ., was on Thursday brought before the Tribunal of Correctional Police . The _plaimig wasa M . Daverge , and the defendants were Madame Daverge and her paramour , M . Frederick _Villeret . It appeared from tlie evidence that M . _awL-SIme . ' Daverge were married in 1830 , and at first lived iii perfect harmony . neither having any property . j a 1833 Mme . Daverge came into possession of a legacy of 12 , 000 francs . With this money , M . Daverge , m .. fortunately for himself and for his wife , entered into

      business at Nantes ; but at the end of three years he had not only lost the 12 , 000 francs but having in . curred debts which he could not pay , was declared bankrupt . Knowing tha he was unable to exhibit j fai ** balance sheet to his _creditots , he fled to Belgium , but was brought back , under the extradition treat y as a fraudulent bankrupt , an- " imprisoned at " v ' aleuccnnes . Here his wife joined him , and showed her attachment by contriving and aiding his escape , and then remaining to meet the consequences , , After some time arrangements were made with the creditors , and in 1843 he returned to hisown country , aid was restored to hia civil rights . . In the com se of this year the husband and wife quarrelled , the latter

      having reproached her companion in strong terms with desertion , leaving her for whole davs and nights alone . A separation took place , Daverge _anf-agin _* to allow his wife the moderate sum of GOO francs Z year towards her maintenance . He then went io setk his living in Germany . During his _ab-ence Madame Daverge entered the service of" M , Vi'krct as his housekeeper , and an illicit intercourse took place betweed them , and gave grounds for the presrnt proceedings . All the above circumstances having been proved , the Court , sentenced Madame Daverue to be imprisoned for eight months , and \ 1 . Villeret for four months , condemning him also to pay a fice of 100 frans , and 500 francs to Daverge' bv way of damages .

He is confined in the same ceil where Blakesley , Courvoisier , and Greenacre spent their last days . Some members of his familv have l , _e-n permitted to see him , but any detailed _reprerenra . tion of what transpired must be manifestly , incorrect , as the prison authoritie s maintain the most guarded silence , in obedience to the order of the late Secretary of State . It may be added , however , that the convict perseveres in his statement thut he was goaded to commit the crime . by the deceased . Throughout Saturday three petitions were' Jvij ?>* ii
