Mcbdxb at Pabib bt SrTFOCATios . —The Court of Assizes of the Seine was occupied on Saturday with the trial of Etienne Chevreuil , aged 24 , a journeyman shoemaker , for having , on the 12 th of July last , ' murdered a woman named Celina Bronn , aged 33 , by placing over her face a pitch plaster . The singularity of the means used in the committal of this , crime , and the fact of the prisoner ' s having immediately afterwards gone and delivered himself into custody , contributed to lend a certain interest to this case . It appeared from the act of accusation that the prisoner had , on the evening of the murder , come to the ? uard-house of the Con-senvitoiredes Artsct Mi-tiers , and declared that he had just killed a woman who lived with him as his wife . He had met with the deceased , he said , in the street , a month before , and proposed to her to go home and pass the night with him . She consented , and remaint-J with him at his request for sumc days . He then wished to yet rid of her , but she positively refusal to quit the place . Having scarcely any money to pay his rent and other expenses , and being besides in debt , they had agreed to die together by means of charcoal . They got some brand y on credit , and drank it to give them courage , and , liaving slopped the key-hole and windows rarelully , 3 ' laced the charcoal near the bed , ready to be lit when they pleased . The brandv rapidlv took effect on the sen-es of tbe deceased , and she was tiblisred xo lie down on the tied . Finding that she lav quiet , the idea occurred to him to melt some shoe-makers' wax , and spreading it on a piece of rag to place it over her face . He did this , and after holding it on the woman ' s features for a short time , found that she was dead , lie then thought , be said , of h ' ghtins the charcoal , but Iiis courage failed , and he determined to give himself up to justice . The soldiers at the guard-house at first imagined that the prisoner intended some hoax , but on some of them jiroeeeding to his lodging in tbe Rue Aumaire , they lound the woman Bronn ly in ^ dead , with the pitchmask on her face . < ) n the trial a number of circumstances came out which very materially impugned the veracity of the prisoner ' s statement relative to his intention to die with the deceased . It appeared
that the prisoner was always of a morose , taciturn djspostion , given iip to the most degrading habits of dissipation , dissatisfied with his wages as a journeyman shoemaker ( - "> 0 sous a day ) , and still wanting energy to better his condition . In appearance he bore all the marks of an ill-regulated life , beinc sallow , thin , and undergrown . lie was fond of reading , but the l > ooks which he trenerally perused were oi a laseiviuu ? . eharaeter . He was also said to be land of poetry , and to have written some vcrse * himself , but this fnvt only rests na his own assertion . The deceased was also said to have occasionallv produced some hbon pieces in verse . The quanta v of wax
used for the plaster was so much more " considerable than a journeyman generally had by him , that inquiries were made on this point , from whicn it appeared that the 5 < risoner hat ! the evening preceding the murder irone out and purchased two sous" worth . This quantity , and even more , had been all used , wiiich would seem io imply that the prisoner had previously formed the idea ol murdering the woman . It was proved , too , that when he came to the sruard-huuse he was perfectly sober , whereas , by his own acknowledgment , he luu ' l pven the debased > o considerable a quantity of bnvndy : i > to intoxicate her . This was more ea > y for him to do , as the deceased was known U > be fond ol
spirituous lnjuors . and had Uvn repeatedly seen in a state of intoxication diirintr the time she was living with ChenTuil . The question of rho prisoner ' s niciit ; i ] intelligence was rai-rd by h i * counsel . A jm-inoh named l > nillarJ , one of his most intimate acquaintances , swore that be was weak in intellect , and the person for whom he worked sn-useu inclined u > the same opinion ; bin , on the other hand , there was brought forward a written account of the crime , and oi the circumstances which led to it . drawn up by tinprisoner iU the guard-hnv . se on the nisht ho delivered himself into custody . This paper , wiiich is curious Irom the minuteness nt * i !> details , shows no want <> i intdlitrenre . It is filled with faults of orthography
but is not devoid of occasional iorce oi expression . After a great number of witnesses had been examined , the Advocate-General addressed the Court at great Ifncth in support of the accusation , declaring that no proof existed that anv agreement had been made between the deceased and tiic prisoner to die together ; but that , on the contrary , every thing led to the * belief that the pri- > oner had tirst Intoxicated the deo ^ ased , nnd then murdered her , accordinc to a plan which he had previously determined on . The prisoner ' s counsel havinir replied , the jury retired fm half an hour , ; unl then nturneil a verdict of" liuiil ^ of murder . " The lourt passed sentence of death on tbe pr isoner , who did not manifest the slightest concern , and walked away in cu » t <> dy with a firm Mep .

be in a very strange and excited state . Nothing was , however , thought of it , and the dog was allowed to range about during the day , and it has since been ascertained that he has bitten several dogs at Chiswiek , Hammersmith , and Brentford , and also a donkey , belonging to a water carrier , named Clark , at Chiswiek . About 12 o ' clock on that day ( Wednesday ) tbe dog followed home from his master ' s house a young man named Fowler , in the employ of Mr . l > ean , a lnarket-sjardener at Strand-on-tlie-Green , who resides nearly opposite the Prince of Wales , and there , flew at him , and bit him severely on the thumb of the right hand , Fowler shortly afterwards complained to Mr . Battersbee of the dog having bitten
him , and mid his thumb open , but nothing serious was thought of it at the time . About an hour after , however , a little boy , between four and five years of age , the son of Sir . King , a tailor , living two doors from the'Prince of Wales , was bitten in both legs by the dog , and subsequently , on the same afternoon . Mr . G . Battvrsbee himself , while sitting in the bar , was bitten by the animal in the middle finger of the right hand ; a woman named Brown , a dealer in fish , living at Chiswiek , while passing the house , was bitten in the leg ; Mr . C . Battersbee ^ brother of the landlord ) , in the right thumb ; a man named Stowell , in tbe employ of Mr . J . Cloud , liveryman , and Mr . Battersbei \ sen ., in the thick part of the thigh . Still no suspicion was entertained that the dog was in a rabid state until the evening of the same day , when the dog was seen to bite the door-posts ;
and it Incoming known that several persons as well as animals had l > eeu bitten by him , Mr . Battersbee directed that the dog should be tied up in the stable , wiiich was done . From that time until Sunday Jast the dog refused either food or drink , but foamed at the mouth , and gnawed the straw on which he was placed , and even the bricks underneath ; and on Sunday he was destroyed . All the persons known to have been bitten have been placed under medical treatment , and have had the parts cauterized without any unfavourable symptoms Laving appeared . Numerous dogs in the neighbourhood , supposed to have been bitten , have been destroyed . Mr . Battersliee has also destroyed his cats , it being impossible to say to what extent the virus has bwn communicated . The young man Fowler , owing to inflammation extending up his arm , lias since become a patient at St . George ' s Hospital .
Body or a Girl fovnd in the River . —Early on Sunday morning the body of a girl of the age ot fifteen or sixteen was found oft" Limehouse . From its appearance it had not been in the water more than ihrec or four hours , the suspicion being that in the course of the night the girl committed suicide , ami that the body was Iwrne from some distant part by the tide . The following description of the person ami dress has been circulated : —About four feet six inches in height , fifteen or sixteen years of age , hair plaited , fair complexion , artichoke coloured and figured totton gown ,-tippet of the same , half of a black shawl with fipiivd txirder , white stockings , no stays , linen marked E . h .

London . —Great Robber ? at a Banking House . —Great excitement prevailed in the City on Monday , upon the fact being made known that a robbery liail taken place , during the course of the previous day , in the house of Messrs . Rogers , Oldinge and Co ., St . ClementVlane , and that property to tilt aimnuu of upwards of £ 4 U , u ( . tO had been stolen . 1 appeal's that the money was deposited in the iron sale , and , as usual , a clerk was appointed to watcn over its safety during the day . and another to perform the like duty during the night . One of the partners remaining at homo on Sunday , the day clerk
asked permission to < h > out lur » lew hours , which was granted . At the accustomed hour in the evening ihe other clerk came , and remained during the nisjht ; but when business was resumed on Monday , and the iron safe opened with the ordinary key , it was fwuid entirely t'lupiy ; and yet no force whatever had been used in the employment of the means adopted to rid the chet-t oi ' its valuable content * . Of course , all is conjecture upon the subject . Notes to ihe amount of £ 4 V , 7 W have been stopped at the Bank ; and Forrester , the active City police officer , is engaged in endeavouring to trace the party guilty of this darini : crime .
FrnniER P . vimnoAjis . — This enormous robbery continues the subject of general conversation in the rity ; but , as was the case on Mondav , it Ls deemed a matter of prudence to conceal certain particulars , the publication of which would probably militate against the apprehension of the offenders . It has ln-en a work of some excitement , under existing circumstances , for the clerks of Messrs . Rosrers and Co . to make up ttie heavy list of mining notes ; but on Tuesday mornin <; the -whole were completed , and pLleilrde . l extensively throughout the jnetropob ' s . flic house of Rogers am ) Co . is situated in Clcnient ' s-
lanc , rather a quiet thoroughfare , and , on Sundays especially , comparatively deserted , the houses being chiefly let out as offices , and occupied in other than business bom's merely by the male or female keepers . This would so far afford facilities for the unobserved approach of the thieves , a court running also within two doors of the kink . The house of Roirers and Co . h : is always been considered one of decided property , though 4 uing a very private business ; and the head uf the ( inn , now advanced in age , is well known as the author of the I'h <' . *< tr > « t > f M timru . Business appears lo \ k procccdinL T in the establishment in the u ? ual quiet w ; iv .
1 iir . 1-atf . RoiiKKity at Mr .-sr . s . Holers . —Lonpo \ , Wki" >>; si » . » y Ni-. iii . — . Not the "lightest clue hit-- * J « 'l Ix-eis <>\> Uim » -d t << tbe p * rpetr : iior-, ot this extraordinary rohljery . All idea is now abandoned of the thieves having started for the continent . Mr . IiobU-r , who has been employed by the iimi , started immediately the robbery was discovered , for the continent , froni which place he returned hist night , and it is believed from the information he there obtained that the iruihy panics bad not started for France ; and this assurance is further continued by the fart that ltami-1 Forrester is m town . Tile supposition now entertained is , that the produce of the robbery is secreted , and that the notes will not be put iii
circulation for the present . A full account , connected with the numbers of the stolen notes , lias been sent to all the trreat cities on tue continent , which , perhaps , wjjj have the effect » f preventing any of thuni being passed ; but -whether they might not be negotiated amongst the South American States is worthy <> f consideration . One of the superior officers of the City police received a letter in the course oi yesterday , informing him that the whole of the property which was stolen from Messrs . Rogers' bankinghouse was deposited in a house in tJie neighbourhood of WaJworth ; and off two of the force were sent in a cab toact upon the premises , although the information bud all the appearance uf ahoa-xin the eyes of experienced men . ' 1 he latter win anonymous , and written in a wretched manner ; but so ready arc people to grasp
at any hope in a desperate case , that it was speedily reported amongst the police that all the money would lx > , by six or seven o ' clock , certainly in the custody of the City commissioner or the Lord Mayor . The cabman was the only one who gained by the report , for the poor man who owfi' -d the house , upon beiim shewn the warrant , expressed the greatest surprise and indignation at the nJumny , and invited the most scrupulous investigation . The expectation ol the police of course proved delusive . The person who was subjected to this annoyance declares that he is not aware how he could have provoked the animosity of any living being to so unkind an act . The missing nnie * aiid gold alone amount to 40 . 0 ( 1 ' ^ .. and there is hci-ides , it , is suited , a large amount in bill .- ol exchange . Tbe mode in which the robbery was
i-f-f < -c ! ed is pretty well ascertained ; and as the lurks of hunkers' safes are generally on the patent principle , the probability is that the keys had on sonic occasion been mislaid , and that advantage was taken of that circumstance to prepare for the robbery . There are cine or two points that may he stated with certainty , fnnii what has transpiivd . First , that a successful rrt- < - aaa planned to lcc-1 | ioss < -s .-ion ot' the keys ol' the strong rhiM : > ecoiuliy , ihal tlic party delinquent has on a former occasion not stood A ]—and , thirdly , that there is a clue to the retreat of the delinquent . There , was something like a run upon the bank on
Monday ; but on Tuesday business resumed its ordinary current . It is not at all improbable that within eight and forty hours the principal delinquent will be in the hands of un » - of the Forresters . The amount ot sovereigns taken is not by any means so laiT ? e as stated ill many quarters . A very strong man must he U' who can conveniently walk away , and without attracting observation , with ; i , " 00 or 4 , 000 sovereigns . The transaction—the possession ot the keys , the opening of the strong room , and the principal party being fairly on '" the road "—occupied less than three quarters of an hour .
Extensive Hovsebreakint . and Robbery at Glasgow . — Friday morning , about one o ' clock , a robbery of a very daring and extensive character was perpatrated in the drapery warehouse of Mr . William Patrick . Clyde-terrace , Uorbals . The thieves , it appears , effected- an entrance by forcibly breaking open the back windows , and succeeded in carrying off three hundred bolts of silk ribbons , a quantity of silk handherchiefs , sewed muslin collars , and stockings , along with £ ' . i in single notes , and . £ 16 in silver and copper . The proprietor of the warehouse , who resides above the premises , fortunately heard
the noise caused by the depredators , and immediately proceeded to inspect his shop , just as one of the thieves was climbing over an adjoining wall . Of course , an alarm was soon given , and in a short time afterwards , Mj-. J ' ruaii , tbe t-Hii-irirt oinVer oi * the < _ iorl « il * criminal department , succeeded in capturing six of tbo Thieves—three men and three women—; il » ng with a considerable portion of the stolen goods , in a house in Clyde-terrace . About seven o'clock the same mornins . a woman belonging to the party was also apprehended at the Edinburgh Railway Station , with a larse quamitv of the stolen ribbons in her

the brig Daisy , of Gottenburgh . The poor boy , who was on his first voyage , . appears to have been subjected to the combined Ill-treatment of starvation , confinement , and blows . The crew of the schooner Prince , Captain , Sohier , Bristol trader , having witnessed the barbarity practised towards this poor boy —having seen him not only repeatedly thrashed by the ruffian Christensen , but also by the mate , and , moreover , confined in a ' cask with netting over the top , and also kept four ^ lays without food , stated the curafflMtanee to Mr . \\ to Contour , who had the lad taken ashore , repor ted the ease to the constables , ami observing that the responsibility of the boy ' s life was now m their hands , left them to bring the matter beforo the court . Wellthe constables had the poor
, lad ' s case in hand—they had him under their protection ; they brought him , it appears , us far as the court-house—a nd what did they do < They sent him on board again ! What was the consequence ? A renewal of ill-treatment in an aggravated form . The monster Chi'istenscn , on Saturday night , had the poor boy s hands and feet made fast , so that he could not use these limbs ; and , this being done , he had bun fastened tight across the groin to the winch at the foot of the mast , exposed to the cold and raiii , where some of the pilots seeing him on Sunday morning , went to one of the assistant-constables , Mr who '
Payne , , finding tho bov unable to stand through ill-treatment and want of food , had him conveyed to the hospital , where he now lies in the greatest danger , the doctors scarcely entertaining a hope of his recovery . The brute of a master was put into gaol On Monday evening , and the court on Tuesday took the boy s deposition , in presence of the master" who now awaits the issue in gaol . Of course , should the hoy die , he will be tried for a capital- offence , but a share ot the responsibility must fall on those members ot the police \ vho were aware of the . boy ' s situation and did not immediately rescue him from it . —Guerntev Star .
Post-Otfice RoiminiKs . —Sir , —The Postraaster-General , I perceive , has re-issued ; a notice on the subject ot " missing , newspaper , " wherein he states the law against either the " Stealing , embezzling secreting , or destroying the said newspapers , " and the punishment " on conviction . " It is on the twe last words , "on conviction , " that 1 take the liberty of saying a tew words , and laying before the public a fact which shall speak for itself , and show , by the " screening" system , how unlikely the public are to get redress . A poor girl , my gamekeeper ' s daughter , got a place at Lichfield ; " at the < -nd of the first quarter she enclosed two sovereigns in a letter , put two seals on it , took it to the Post-office in Lichtield , and , as good luck would have it , the same moment she arrived at the office window to pay the postageone
, of the most respectable inhabitants " of the city saw her pay the postage ( twopence ) . The letter was directed to her father , begging Iiini to pay the bill his poor daughter had contracted for a small outlit for her place . Now mind , sir , liehfield is only ID miles from Wolsell-y-bridge , the residence o ' l her father , and there is no stoppage between the Post-office of Lichfield and that of Wolseley-bridge . The poor girl not receiving any answer'from her father , she wrote to htm ; he brought the letter to me . I went down to our Post-office , and there proved beyond a doubt that on the day the letter ought to have come to hand ,. the post-bag being opened in the presence of a third indifferent person , there was no letter
of any sort nv the bag ' . I then told the father to go off to Lichfield . lie did . He got no redress ; and 1 wrote to the ( icnoral Post-office Inspector living in North Wales , who came up , and what lie called " investigated " it . 1 saw 'him myself , and had a long talk with him , and I demanded the letter—11 said nothing about its contents)—the letter with two seals on it , post-pai \ l , 2 d . : i \ n < l 1 told him it never arrived at the Wolseley Post-ofh ' co , by proof positive , as above , and therefore the postmaster of Lichfield must produce the letter in question , put in in the presence of a respectable witness . Now , sir , what was the result i Nothing ' . —1 am , sir , your olu-dient servant , C . WoLbELKY .
ronrini . E Abdi-ctiov . —Killarxky , Friday . — On Sunday night last , about fourteen men , whose faces were blackened , and most of whom were armed , attacked the house of Michael M'GiUycuddv , of Trippinagh , in the parish of Aglish , a- respectable farmer , and having discharged a shot through the parlour window , they effected an entrance through it , and first secured . the servants by biiuliiiji them firmly with ropes . They then proceeded to the bedroom of M'Gillycudd y ' s daughter , a girl sixteen years old , whom they violently dragged out of bed , and / regardless of the incessant and feeling entreaties of the mother to permit the girl to dress herself , the heartless ruffians forced her through the window in that lamentable condition , leaving six of the party behind to prevent any trace of " the fugitives , in a ' desperate struggle to shelter the daughter , her mother was barbarously beaten by these savages , and now remains under the care of doctors . Four of the gang have been arrested .
Affectixi ; Event . —We have received intelligence of the almost sudden demise of Mr . William lletherington , a fine promising , young gentleman of eighteen years of age , son of the late W . Iletherington , Esq ., of Birkenhead , and recently appointed a second lieutenant in the « Oth Rifles . Last slimmer lie hail been engaged in ii rowing mutch , and , from the exertion at the oar , his hands becoming blistered , he incautiously , whilst in a . state of perspiration , dipped them into the cold water . Eruption and gathering ensued , causing mucli pain and annoyance , and " this coutinuinu tor a considerable time , he went to London , and , it is apprehended , took unskilful advice , by which , though he appeared to be cured , the disease was
probably thrown into the system by the too rapid drying up of the sores . He returned liotne to his family apparently , < puite recovered , and , after remaining a short time , resolved to return to the-military college at Brussels , where he had before studied , to make the ln-st use of . his time in professional acquirements . On his arrival there he was congratulated by his former companion . * , to whom he was much endearql ; but , alas ! on Wednesday week , when he sat down to dinner with them , he suddenly remarked that he felt extraordinary sensations , and could eat nothing . Being observed to be ill , and afterwards to faint , he was immediately carried to bed , and received every possible attention ; but , to the grief of all around him , he expired early the following morning .
HOME CmOTIT . — MaIDSTONK , WEDNESDAY , NoV . 27-—The commission of gaol delivery for the county of Kent was opened on Tuesday last by Mr . Justice Williams , and this morning the business of the assizes commenced . There are forty-two prisoners for trial , seven of whom are charged with murder . There are also several other serious offences . The Case of Richard Dajjd , the Parhkiue . — Mr . Bodkin made an application to the Court in reference to the above prisoner , who , it will be remembered , after having murdered his father , made his way to France , and was eventually brought back to
this country and committed for trial . The learned Counsel , after having briefly alluded to the circumstances of the case , said there was no doubt that the unhappv young man was insane , and he had t » ecn removed by order of the Secretary of State to a criminal lunatic asylum , where he now remained . . As the trial , therefore , could not come on , he would apply to the Court to discbarge the recognisances of the witnesses who had been bound over , and to order that the money and other valuables taken from the person of the deceased gentleman at the time of the discoveiy of the murder might be delivered to his friends —The Court nunle the order .

The League and Anti-Lkaoue at Holmfiksi Yorkshire . — We had a lecture from Mr . Harper , of the Anti-League , on Friday night last . His object was Free Trade , which he handled in a masterly manner . He was often interrupted by a leaguer in the body of the hall , named ( Nathan Littlewood , a shop-keeper . He mounted the orchestra twice for the purpose of refutuig the arguments of the lecturer , but never before was therei such a specimen of middle-class ignorance . He denied tliis , and denied
that ; but when he liad the ! chance to refute the arguments , he completely forgot to mention them . In fact , he was a complete clown for the audience . At the conclusion of the lecture , another leaguer , named Beardsell , tried his hand , but to little effect . Finding that the question of '' protection to labour , " was to be crowned with victory , the leaguers thought proper to try another plan ; tliitt of a public discussion , This is to come off on Thursday , betwixt Mr . Harper and Mr . Ackland , if jhe can be got ; if not , with some other lecturer of the Anti-Corn League .

Rochdale . —1 am requested by some of the factory operatives to inform you that there seems to be a move amongst the different j employers to advance wages . One firm , of the name of Butterworth , at Spotland-bi-idge , gave an advance yesterday to a portion of their operatives ; as they did not advance all , the doffers turned out , arid they were obliged to stun the engine . When the Jbell rang on Wednesday evening , the "hands" mustered in front of the factory and gave three cheers . [ As there was " no advance , " the mill has been shut all day . —Correspondent . \ Strike at Paisley . —The factory weavers of Messrs , Robert M'Arthur and Co . have unanimously struck work .

Tin : HuTANicAi- Remedial System . —Presentation ok Plate to Dh . Coffin .. —On Tlmrsday evening the friends of I ) r . CofHn , medical botanist , took jtea together in the public room , Bull Close-lane , Halifax , on which occasion nearly 200 people sat down . The room was tastefully dceorat-eiJ with r > verjrr < < i ns , itc , and the proceedings enlivened by -the performances ot a iDiisic . il bjind . After tea , Mr . . lolm (> ihsun , Tresident of tlio JIfllifa . v Botanie ; il Society , was railed to the chair , who offered some freneral observations on the progress of scientific discovery , dwelt upon the l > enetits of botanical societies , especially in reference to the working classes , and concluded with- an euloitium upon the character and merits of Dr . Conin .
Mr . Joseph Sutcliffe then read a lengthened address , in which was noticed the various cures performed bv ])]• . " Coffin through the ajrency of modicil botany ; after which lie pivsented a silver vase to tho Doctor , and on which was inscribed— " Presented to I > r . CoHin as a memento- of the . services lie has peiformcd in Halifax , the efficiency of his gratuitous relief of the distresses of the sick and indigent poor , and of the invaluable information conveyed to the public through the medium of his lectures on botany . " Dr . Coffin returned thanks in a speech of considerable length ; lie observed that as to the gift with wiiich they had presented him , it might perish , but the sentiments contained in the address would never die , being inherent in the heart of man . Though thev
might be perverted by improper education , as was the case as it regarded the science and practice of niediciilc , yet it was his privilege to be , the humble instrument of pointing out a more excellent way , and to dissipate the mistaken notion that no one could heal disease but those educated at the schools . He alluded to his forthcoming work on medical botany , the principles of which would be the basis on which the botanical associations would be fonned . The meeting was addressed on the advantages of botanical knowledge and the benefit of associations for its diffusion , by Messrs . C . Fielding , A . Tidswell , I ) . Ross , Mr . . "Stevens , of London { lh : (' . '» first patient ) , and Dr . Smith , of Todniorden . Last year a gold medal , in case , was presented at Leeds to Dr . Coffin , by a number of the inhabitants of that , town
