      ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE .

      Among' The Scenes Of The Late Insurrecti...

      Among' the scenes of the late insurrection' is one representing a very handsome girl , halfway ap a huge barricade , in earnest conversation with a man en blouse while a Mobile is aiming at the group . The papers ot the day attest the fact tbat among the slain found in tbe rulni of the barricades at the corner of the Rao St Scvo . tin was the body af a joong person belonging apparently to the class of demoiselles de comptoir ; and from what I oan learn , Henrietta _Dusautoy , who was shot at " that spot , wat a very remarkable speolmen of her clever class . Tbis is ber most melancholy Btors : — .

      It is jast three years ago , that Henrietta and Adele _Datan were left orphans at Avignon , by the death of their sole surviving parent , a mother . Tbeir father , some years back , died in Algeria . When their last prop was taken from them , these two girls , wbo mast then have btea about _teveatten and _eighteen , oame up to Paris , wiih a little purse made up by charitable nelgb . boari , to seek employment , and such aid as tbeir brother , an employe in some mercantile home , could afford them . Tbe three lodged together , aad in due time , Henrlettte became an assistant at a well-known Magatin de Neuveautes , and Adele wbb engaged to receive orders at the _Biins — ., on the Italian Boulevard , It was ' from ber tbat I learnt these particulars .

      It would seem that the sitters differed not more in per * _sonal appearance than ia _deposition and character ; aad that while my informant ( who Is certainly a very pretty girl ) , like tho greater part of her townspeople , Iwai a trusting , hopeful _Legitimist , Henrietta , with a larger share of personal attractions , held to more catholic opiniom , in favour of the sovereign people ; in other words , was a decided and ( tf I nay say so ) somewhat Intemperate Republminc . , Naturally enough , the girls soon procured lovers ; bat , what was singular , each was affianced to a young raan of politic * diametrically opposed to their own . Until lately , this matter was considered of very trifling impor . taace ; bat alas ' . in Paris the young have lived a life of emotions within the last six months .

      ' When the _Revolution first broke out so unexpected '; in February , _Henrietta ' s charaoter assumed a depth and perpoae _previoatly _ackaown to herself , She desired ber lover to chooee between the uniform of the National Goard and tho red flag , with a contingent claim to her hand , ' when the work wat does . * These last , I was told , were her own words . Theyonng man temporised ; he did not answer tbe tappet ; he evaded the generate ; and h * _frequented . the _wtne-iaop at the corner of the Rue St Jacques , by nfght ; so far , he became acquainted With the plans of the insurgents , aad was reckoned among them ; bnt , in heart , he _remained nothing more than ebon bourgeois , distracted by fear of losing bis mi ° . tree * , and , I apprehend , by terrors of a lest romantic description .

      That Hentlette could bestow her _affections upoa a man of this sort * of' ctmpe" may appear , without refl-. _otloo , unlikely . Bat tbe fact it , Henrietta lovedand that _passionately—a hero ot her own imagining , and never evea so much as suspected the shortcomings of her -dual fleshly lover , who was but the _embodying of aiptratlons and day-dreams such as later events in France have been very far from realising . All this proceeded , feverishly enough , bat still without any «* Iator discovery , until the fatal outbreak in June I ara assured that this young man was _aotoally preient on thenlgbtof the 23 rd at a certaia re-union held in the Faubourg St Antoine , when it was determined to resort to force on tbe morrow ; tba : each _confederals received certain signs and _password- , and that all _teparated , exchanging , by way of _partlsg greeting , the usual ' ademain ' of conspirators en the eve of notion .

      That same night Henrietta ltft ber lodging aad htr sister , without a tear or a single adieu , and jolnrd the committee of the F « nboarg St _Jacqaes , wherein ber lover had received . orders to serve under Colfavru , the late editor of the Ptre Duchesne . At about the lame honr a young mas , pale and trembling , reached the private dwelling of General— -, and remained in _elsse conference with the Minister till nearly daylight . _< It subsequently appeared , that , by way of testing hit avowed sentiments In favour of order and tbe govern _, ment , tbe lover solicited and obtained permission to serve ( a the National Gatrdt destined to clear the Faubourg 8 t Jacques , le fact , to take his stand against the very men he bad just sworn to assist . Possibly , some idea of rescuing his mistress from the results of her delusion led bim to insist on this—the sole reward of bis information . In the tame company marched Adele ' _t lover ; bat tbe two young men held so communication ,

      ¦ It it well known tbat the Faubourg St Jacques held oat dariog the whole of the first day and part of the second . It was not , indeed , till towards evening of the latter day that It was seriously attacked . . Meanwhile Henriette sought her hero everywhere , and n ; ot finding bim , concluded tha * . lathe general confusion he was fi-hilag _eteavihera ; _pwhapi earning laurel * , for them both in the bloody Clos St Lazue , or afthe Barriers du _Templa , . It was not till n-arly seven o'clock on tbe evening of tte 35 _> . h that the distinctly recognised her lover , not in the uniform , bnt In the ranks ot the NatioBal Guard , m _* rohiBg slowly np tho narrow Rue St Jacques , exposed at every step to a desultory bat murderous fusillade from tbe upper window of tbe tall bouses . The Cm asd second barricade bad been carried , bat tbere re . mataed the far more important one , to which the lithograph refers , at the ' comer of the Rue St Severln ,

      __ At that moment a shot , directed from a neighbouring house , passed through tbe _joang man ' s heart . He fell dead in the racks without a tUh ; but a wild scream rang through the air , and caused attention generally te be attracted to this particular incident , Tbe troops rushed like farles oa tbe remaining barrioade , and It was ultimately destroyed . Poor _H-nriette ! Sbe wat found among ths debris , literally riddled with shot . _—Corre-porioVnt of the 'John Bull '

      Two Ubifdl Hints About Cholera.—A Writer...

      Two _Ubifdl Hints about Cholera . —A writer in a weekly medical journal , who saw muoh of the cholera in 1 &} 2 and 1831 . suggests a very simple , and , as h * asserts , a very valuable prevention against the' susceptibility ef the disease . ' The weakened state of-the stomach , he aaya , which predisposes to cholera ; is so decidedly obviated by eating ireely of common salt with our meals , that it is believed that three-fourth ! of the cases whioh would otherwise occur ma / be prevented by this simple addition to our food . The . writer recommends for an adult the ninth ofan ounce ( about a small _teispoohful ) three times ' a day ' , at breakfast ) dinner , tea , or supper . It may rje ' eirten with fob , animal food , poultry , game , bread , toait . Or bread and butter . The same beneficial result is not obtained with' ult meats , broths , _[ squpi , & c , in whioh salt it dissolved ; because , by tbe action of heat , or long admixture of the salt with other matter , a change is produced in its properties , and the preventive power / with reference to thia nar .

      _ticuiaru- * orit , dMtroyed . -The _following valuable prescription for the effective enre of the cholera has p _« W » fr ° _- _- « _i ° u 0 ker _* . Ew _l-. _Vice-Oongul , at .

' By _striotly at . tending to the above simple _rieans , Mr Booker nays that no person need fear fatal _consequenoes

      WESTMINSTER , — _Hioawai Robbek . — Sarah Errlngton and Elizabeth _Wosley , were oharged with committing a highway rebbery . —Henry Thomas Jones stated that he was going home on Saturday night , and bad proceeded _balf-way up _Daan-slreet , _Weitmlntter , when the prisoners followed bim , and Errlngton suddenly coming up to bim , swore that be theuld give htr something 'or _bringing her all that way . He was muoh surprised , and told ber _tbnt he had net taken her out of the way . Sno tBen eaid tBat i ( ao _atd not _iffimeflSately give ber something , she would knock bis brains out . The prisoner Wesley then came ap with tno men , who placed themselves on eacb side ot bim . Prosecutor be . o < _, me very much alarmed , and gave Errlngton sixpence to let bim go . She passed the money to Wesley , and told her to look at it , and see if it was good , after whioh she said , ' This won't do for me ; I must have more . ' Prosecutor then told her thathe would give her no more .

      and tbat if Bhe did notgo off he woald cry ' Police . ' She then caught bold of bim by the breast ef tbe eoat with _guob violence as to tear it , and exclaimed' Down with him . ' Prosecutor struggled to get away from ber , and sb be was doing so he frit her hand In hit pocket , and immediately afterwards missed five shillings . He oalled ' Police , ' and the prisoners and tbe men ran away , H « immediately gave information to the police , and tbe prisoners were apprehended la a few minutes afterwards . The men did nothing to him at the time he was being robbed , bat stood on etch side of bim as though they would If he offered any resistance . —Policeman Wadlowe proved meeting tbe prisoners together in Chapel-street , Westminster , at about a quarter to one , and taking tbem into custody , when tbey were immediately identified by the prosecutor . —Policeman Nowlan proved that the priioner Wesley waB tried and convicted of felony in October last , and imprisoned for six months with bard labour , —The _prisoneis were committed .

      _jJhbmzkment . —J . Ward was charged with emberillBg money to a considerable amount , received by bim on account of his employer Mr T . T . Fiather , 6 , Queen ' sbuildings , Brompton . The prisoner had been in Mr Plather's service as shopman and travelUr for the last four months . HIb principal _employment was to go round to the customers for orders and colleot money , and It was his duty , immediately upon his return to his master's , to enter the amount he received in a day book , and band over the mono- to Mr Flathor or his foreman . In consequence of some suspicious oiroamBtanccB in . _qalries were made amongst the customers , and It was found that Mr Plather had been plundered to a very con . siderable extent . Not only had he omitted to eater or _acoouat for sums ncelved , bnt had credited customers in his entries for less amounts than had absolutely been paid to him . The accounts , in consequence of prisoner's _delinquency , were in so complicated a state , that it required considerable time to _asoertain tbe exact amount

      of which be had robbed his employer ; but tbere were tbree customers in attendance who proved having paid him various sums , soma ef whleh he had altogether omitted to enter and acoount for , and others of whioh he bad made a false entry , and only paid a portion of . On tbe prisoner being taken into custody a private diary wat found upon him , in which the sums he had received from various caatomers and the amount of the fraudulent entries placed In his maetet ' s books by him were duly set down . Boras varying from JB 1 8 _j . _doanwards were proved to have been paid or different occasions during tbe last tbree months by Mr Wherry , a retail oilman , at _Proipect-place _, _Fulbam , Mr _Meallag , at _ParsonVgrren , and Mr Gray , of the same neighbourhood , to the prisoner , who gave reoelpts for them . —Prisoner , in answer to the charge , admitted hit guilt , and threw himself upon tbe mercy of the court , 'Hehad , ' he said , ' bis brother and friends present , wbo would , If allowed , willingly pay his defalcations . '—He was committed .

      GUILDHALL . — Robbing tue Till—F . Freeland , in the service of Mrs Abu Wood and Son , of 101 , Newgatestreet , was charged with robblog his employers . Por Borne time past money has been _mlesing from the desk in tbe back parlour , although it waa always kept locked , but no _susplclen was excited against the prisoner , it was thought that probably It might have been expended for inoldental expenses and never been entered . How . ever , about a fortnight back , the prosecutors were startled by mining no less a Bam than £ 10 at one timo , in consequence of which Mr T . Wood , ( the son ) marked _aorne half-crowns and shillings and placed them in the detk or drawer , at the same time going occasionally to see if any bad been taken . At last he missed four halfcrowns and three shillings , upon which he sent for a

      policeman and the prisoner was given into custody . The officer after searching for some time , found tbe marked momy Inside the lining of hit cap , and also a key under bis _ceat whioh unlocked the desk with the greatest possible ease . When found out he fell on bis knees and begged to be forgiven—Tba prisoner's father and mother both stepped into tbe witness box and said tbeir ton bore an excellmt charaoter , and they were _oonvlnoed he was only tbo victim of a conspiracy Intended to destroy him . They were -ore he was perfectly Innocent ef the cbarge whioh had been brought against him , — Alderm . in Lbwience wished to know how they ocoouttod for his falling on bis knees and begging forgiveness . It was not tbe first timo a similar accusation had been brought against him , and however painful the duty , h _«

      mast commit him for trial . He was conveyed to Newgate . THAMES . _—Aitxmpted Mcbdeb . —Fbightfol Cm . —On Monday , J . Richmond , a twine spinner , residing in Walworth , who appeared to be in a weakly condition from recent loss of blood , was _brovgbt before Mr Yardley , charged Iwlth attempting to murder hiB wife , ai d afterwards inflicting wounds en hit own throat Caroline Richmond , a reapectublclooking woman about 45 years of age , said she had been married to the prisoner _abeut eighteen years , and bad borne him several children . He bad frequently ill-used ber , and acted ia a most violent and brutal manner while under tbe influence of strong drink , A fortnight ago she was reluctantly compelled to leave ber home with her five oklldren , in const quence of her husband ' s violenoe and threats . He

      _sought after ber with a view to Induce her to return . On Saturday morning they met in the East India road , Poplar , and he promised better treatment and to keep sober if she would re'urn to him , and expressed muoh gratification at seeing her again . Sbe made an appointment to meet him the same evening at his own sister ' s dwelling in Robin Hood-lane , Poplar . They had not been tbere moro than a quarter of an honr when ber husband put bit left arm round her neok , bugged ber closely , and was in the act of kissing ber , wben sbe felt bim cutting her threat with a knife he held In hi * right b « nd . Sbe put ber hand up and shrieked oat , 'A knife , a knife ! ' and teveral persons in tbe room immediately pulled her away from him . Her tbroat wat bleeding profusely , and her thumb was alto out . Her bonnet

      ribbons were likewise severed . Tbe wound would have been more _aerioue but fer ber bonnet strings . The witness , who appeared deeply _affeoted , said a batter husband or a kinder husband did not exist , when sober , but whea under the influence of drink he was quite a diff . rent man . The prisoner , who was a little exoited , here re . _proachedbis wife with having left htm and ruined his home , and that wben she was atked to return Bhe refused to do eo , and the reason was tbat the bad anothor partner . He admitted thathe had a knife in his hand , bat It was not to cot her tbroat . He bad been looking after his wife for a fortnight , and sho bad behaved to him most cruelly . —George Richmond , the prisoner ' s nephew , and an elderly mae , named James Caflull , a broker , ooaflrmed tbe statement of tb & wife as to tbe

      occurrence on Saturday evening , The prisoner was _appatently kissing hit wife in the most affectionate manner when he cut her tbroat , 0 off ell added , that tbe _priso . ner deolared last week tbat be woald have revenge . Directly the . prisoner _lnatcted tho wound oa his wife ' s throat , he turned round and said , ' Here Is a pretty job . ' Tbe witness _conveyed the wife to the house of a neighbour opposite , aad sent for medical aid . Ha tben went after the prisoner , and overtook him £ 00 yards from the house . —The prisoner said his wife had been cohabiting wltb _Oaffell since eke abandoned her home , and that he dissuaded her from returning . —Caffell , wbo is a highly reapeotable man , and _wbote wife was In court , said the charge wai quite unfounded , and that he bad done all in bit power to . effect a reconciliation between the prisoner

      and bis wife . —Mr Yardley put tt vera 1 questions to Oaffell , whioh be answered satisfactorily , and the magistrate said he was quite satisfied there'we a no f _tundatlon for the prisoner ' s _jealonBy . —Polloc .

      receiving such work from master manufacturers , to be made up by the inmates of tbeir establishments , at a scale of prices wbich reduced the general ratio of wages afforded to the independent workwomen to an amount barely sufficient for their aotual existence . . He had himself seen at a large union _workbeuse some of the female inmates employed in making fall sized shirts of such a Buperlor description that the fair remuneration ought to amount to at least 1 » 9 d each , but which were taken of the warehouses at 3 * _t 1 , and only cno farthing allowed to the pauper workwoman for ber labour , Tbe game ay * . tern was also pursued at the Millb & uk _Penitentiary and other prisons , at which sailors' jackets and soldiers ' greatcoats were made , at the respective _ra'es of 214 and 51 each , and although repeated applications had

      Extraordinary Treatment Of Sick

      EXTRAORDINARY TREATMENT OF SICK

      POOR IN ST _PANORAS WORKHOUSE . A protracted investigation waa opened on Tuesday eefore Mr Waftley , concerning the death of George Davis , agea thirty , an inmate of St Pancras Workhouse , the son of the Vestry Clerk of St Leonard , Shoreditch . James Wills deposed tkat he was an inmate of No . 2 ward of St Pancras Infirmary . Deceased was brought into that ward on Thursday evening last , between six and seven o ' clock ; he was wrapped in a blanket , and groaned very muob . Soon after he was put to bed , Allen , the wardstnan , oame and put a straight waistcoat < n him . His arma were tied across in front of bimand hia legs alsoby

      , , * silk handkerchief round the ankles . He did not know by whose _order this was done . AU deceased had given him was a powder . He had a strong fit between seven and eight o ' clook , and died Boon after _. Saw deoeased on the Monday wh _« n he was turned out of the workhouse by the Discharge Committee , leaning against some railings in the _Panoras-road . He was very bad , _coaplained of great pain in his limbs and head , and eaid he waB not fit te go out * His tongue was white with fever , and he could scarcely crawl . Mr Edward Pitt , tbe accountant , agent to the direotors of the poor of St Pancras , produced the

      books _giving tho history of deceased ' s case . Thay stated him to be thirty years of age , the son of the vestry clerk of Shoreditch , who paid _« . > . per week for his maintenance . In Jure last a committee was appointed to discharge all able-bodied pauper * , and deceased was ordered to be discharged but did not go out till the lst of July . He was subsequently on several occasions admitted as a vagrant into ths casual wards . Ou the 9 _'h of August he waa admitted ill by Mr Robinson , the surgeon , but was again discharged by the committee or the 4 th of September . The cemmiUee were aware that deceased wae paid for .

      Jshn Monfcord _, s pauper , deposed as follows : —In the casual wards we hare no supper allowed , and in the morning we have to break a bushel of BtoneB , ei pick a pound of oakum , before we get any breakfast—that is _eii * ht ounces of bread and two ounoei of cheese . To pick a pound of oakum will take some au hour and a half , and some longer . To break a bushel of atones will take some two hours , and others a whole day . If we do not de one or the other we get nothing . We hare to turn out at six in the morning , aod in case of illness get nothing till the doctor comes—at ten o'olock . The Coroner remaiked _, this was very sharp practice , and that it ought to be knows tbat the parish of St Panoras was not under the Poor Law _Commissionera .

      Dr Q , uain stated that he had made a post mortem examination of the body . The brain exmbited chronic inflammation ef some time standing , and the vessels were congested . The _iuaaa were also diseased . By the Coroner—I consider thai the disease of the brain was the oause of death . It might have been accelerated by exposure to cold , bad food , or an insufficiency of food . The Coroner remarked tnat tbe difficulty in the _oase was , that medical science could not enable tbem to arrive at the faot of how tho _disease wbich caused death originated . Although by tho mcdioaA evidenoe legal responsibility was got rid off , still there was the moral responsibility remaining , and If the jury thought proper he would adjourn the inquiry for the attendance ) of the father .

      The court was cleared , and after some consultation the _investigatioa was adjourned lor tho attendance of deoeased ' a father .
