Dusxin, May 4, 1849. “Mersble Destitution of the People—Government Measures of Relief—Royal Dublin Society and | Cahfornia Gold—Emigration—Mr. OBrien’s Case, Sc. §6. bhi Amidst the horrors of destitution and plague, I ‘write to inform you ef the events which have oc- eurred during the past week, and you will see by the public papers, both Irish and English, that the | accounts which I shall endeavor to give you, of the | sufferings of the Irish people, are not by any means eolored or exaggerated; neither are they, as you are well aware, given for any other purpose but to fulfil my duties as a faithful correspondent, well knowing that the symputhizing and. discerning in- habitants of the Unued States will give their friends at this vide of the Atlanuc credit for their patience and extraordinary submissiveness to the will of the Almighty. The accounts, as I said before, are heart-rending in the extreme; the public organs, of all sides, are teeming with letters, written by credi- ble and respectable witnesees, of the trials of the or. One gentleman, the Protestant rector of Bal- Faroe, states that in the workhouse of his union alone 136 persons died last week, and not a much leas number the week before; the cause of those deuths has been generally cholera and pestilence, brought on by famine. ‘The deaths in’ Westport ae tieiee, for the same period, 66, whilst in the Fermoy workhouse the mortality, for the last four months, has been— January . February. . March ‘April... +e 2208 225 ‘These details Ihave gathared from authentic re- ports. But these deatlis only include those which have occurred within the workhouses. Accounts are daily received of persons on their way to those workhouses, who, trom exhaustion and’ previous long suffering, they sunk to rise no more. This is owing to the workhouse, being far distant frem the abodes of the sufierers. But, thank God, the time isnot fur distant when a large number of those who are now suflering will, L hope, be enabled to emigrate. Emigration is, 1 am happy to say, stil progressing with rapid strides; and those strides are everywhere discernible from the very visible assistance it lends towards the non-inhabitation and culuvation of large tracts and farms. of land which, a short time ago, were in the hands of the laboring furmers. ‘This state of things 13 to be de- plored, because, where a large crop could be gath- ered for those who remain and are not cut off, lit- tle, if any, will be produced this year. In the county of Meath, a large tract of fine land, con- taining 6,000 es, cannot now be set. It is not at all surprising that such should occur in other parts of the country; but when the county of Meath, whieh contains land of the first quality, is so situ: ated, it is not a matter of surprise when other parts of the country, which are not equally favored, are not cultivated.. The rate in uid bill has gone through the third reading in the House of Com- mons, and passed. It is now to be seen how it shall be dealt. with in the House of Lords. The violent agitation consequent upon its introduction into Parliament, has, in a great degree; subsided. he new measure, called the Encumbered Estates Bill, has been based on Sir Rubert Peel’s plan, which I informed you lately gave so much satis- faction to all parties. L send you a summary of the proposed bill, so that your’ readers may judge for themselves; but 1t must be manitest that the proposed measure, if carried out, must confer an incalculable benefit, particnlarly on those whose estutes are dipped by incumbrances to the amount of their full vale, and, in some cases, to mach more than their value. It is now fixed that, on the 10th inst., the argument in the House ef Lords, in support of the writ of error, is to commence in Mr. O’Brien’s cas He has retained Sir Fitzroy Kelly and Mr. Napier. It is not known exactly who has been engaged for Mr. McManus. No wnit has been issued for either Mr. O’Donahue or Mr. Meagher. It was at first supposed that the two first would be brought to Londen, to be present et the argument; but it is now di- rected that they are to remain at Richmond Bridewell. A ‘sectional meeting of the Royal Dublin Society, was held on Friday a Yast, when the subject of the ‘ Discovery of Gol in California, und its effects on prices in Great Britain,” was ably discussed by Professor Hand- cock. In the course of his observations, the Pro- fessor stated his opinion was, that from henceforth silver should be taken as the standard of value. ‘The reason that gold has been taken as the stand- ard of value heretofore, was, that it was tound, of all metals to be the least variable, which can be seen by eomparing the Stn Gbried 1 which have occured in the value of gold since the reign of William the Conqueror to the present time, as com- pared with other countnes. | fie suid that the ea- tire depreciation of gold during that period in En- land, amounted only to 3 per cent; whilst in Risnie it amounted to 24 per cent; in Scotland to 96 per cent,and in France to 66 per cent; and he also stated, that extraordinary changes of prices were produced in the 16th and 17th centuries, by the discovery of the extensive mines which then existed in Ainenca. The. prices consequent upon those discoveries were in the short space of 70 ears quadrupled; and in the present day, from the facility of intercourse, and the promptness with which industrial undertakings were carried out, the same causes, if nian by California gold, would produce similar changes in prices in a much shorter space of time; and for those reasons, he stated, the government were bound to adopt mea- sures to prevent such a change taking place, and recemmended silver being used as a standard ac- cordingly. The Rev. James Martin, P. P., of Graigow, county of Carlow, has published a very able letter on the subject of emigration, and the es- tublishment of an Lrish colony in the United States and a few extracts therefrom may not be uninter- esting. He states: “* Emigration, it is quite clear, is our only resource; the best means of going out is in large bodies, bringing all the trades and pro- fessions, to be able at once to lay the foundation of anew town, and commence the cultivation of the land speedily.

There are many other houses of respectability, and they ship cargoes to America, and also to China, The carpet manufacturers cannot rival England, and there are but few, and manufacturing for the inland trade. The great superiority of German cloths are in tl dying; thus, red cloth, even the English and Russians purchase in Germany, to seud to China. ‘As Belgium ia the great rival of the Zoll Verein in the article of cloth in the United States, I will now give you a short statement of the manufactories thore, which are principully in Vervien, Disen, Liege, Hodi- mont, and Pepinster, ‘There are about 200 mauufac- tories, with 90 steam engines of 800-hurse power in all, which produce annually about five millions of aunos of cloth, in value aboat six millions of dollars. In France tl ef manufactories are in Rheims, Rheter, ‘Tuseany, Esonne, Paris, Amiens, St. Dennis, Louvier, Elbouf, and Sedan, ‘The yearly production may be estimated at ten millions of dollars, but they do not export for .one miliion, and but little to the United States, In reviewing the woollen trade, or particularly in regard to cloth, there appears to be every probability that, in a few years, we will require but fow importa- tions, as even now they are not large, except from ng- land, which seuds us about five jillions of dollars’ worth, Europe now sends us laborers and eapital, and this is all we require to be the first manufacturing AMERICANUS. ‘W. Harrer, F, Reiman. cuarn, J. G. Feller & Son, Samuel Schiief. TRERNITZ, W. Oclaner, les in England, [From the London Sun, May 16.} i Nothing can justify a precipitate condemnation of the course pursued by the government towards the Canadas, previous to the examination of those official despatches which will be laid on Friday evening before both Houses of the Imperial Parlia- ment. Whatever may be the nature of the provi- sions made in that Bill of Indemnity which has originated the imsurrection at Montreal, the per- fectly constitutional manner in which that mea- sure has been carried through the Canadian Legis- luture leaves us, however, no room to doubt that the recent outbreak is the infamovs result of a conspiracy on the part oi a lawless dnd unprincipled minority. We any each of us entertain a diller- ent opimion as to the advisability or non-advisa- bility of indemnifying indiscriminately all those who may have happened to sufler pecumary losses during the last deplorable rebellion. One may, another may not, conceive that some definite dis- tinction ought to have been made between those individuals who were injured in their property through their sympathy for the government, and those who sustained losses frem their complicity with the insurgents. Such 1s strictly a question of moratity, of expediency, or of convenien upon the merits of which the views of the multi tude might remain divided until the day of judg- ment. But upon*this point there neither does, nor can there exist, any hesitation whatever— namely, that the Indemmity Bill (good or bad, expedient or inexpedient, convenient or inconve- nient as it may be to individuals) has been passed into a Jaw calmly,honestly, dispassionately, legally, ena aaa No one can assert to the con- trary. The faet is already notorious in both hemispheres. The bill itself 18 exclusively a Cana- dian measure. The mother country has not inter- fered in the matter to the extent of one tittle. The home government has dictated no policy, it has not even gone to the length of hinting a suggestion. The Indemnity Bill is, we repeat, an exclusively Canadian measure. It has emanated from Cana- dian intelligence; it has been sanctioned in prin- ciple and accepted in form by Canadian statesmen; it has received the countenance of two successive administrations—a conservative administration and a liberal administration. It has been passed with large majorities through the upper and lower chamber of the Imperial Parliament. Those majo- Tities were not only majorities of the whole houses, but majorities of members of the Brinsh blood. Those majorities were not the packed majorities of a cabinet, they were the free and honorable majorities of Canadian representatives. Such was this Bill of Indemnity, which, on its receiving the royal assent through the lips of his E. lency the Governor-General, was made the pretext for an in- surrectionary movement, more dastardly and infa- mons than any recorded in the annals of our colo- nial possessions. Finding that their prejudices went for nothing against the force of public opinion, finding that they had been outaumbered by the members of their own legislature—the rebel conspirators rose ata preconcerted signal. Mind—these rebels are the tory gan They are that Orange faction whose virulence and insolence are unfortunately not restricted to Canad True to their audacious principles, they rose.

Moffatt, in like manner, occupied eo very visible a place in the van of the movement, as to have been after- wards arrested on a still more serious charge—that of high treason. As a sort of climax to the impu- dent daring displayed throughout the whole trans- action—the mace, stolen as we have already shown, from the Parliament House by one of the ruffians of the meurrection, was ulumately found in the porsession of Sir Allan MeNub! One course, and one course alone, remains open to the povernment. The nature ef that corse is fy obvious, The robbers, and pillagers, and incendiaries, who have recently desolated the streets of Montreal, must be put down with the strong hand of the law, whose majesty they have violuted. They must be compelled to make « bit- ter expiation. “Their most prominent leaders must bessubjected to summary and condign punishment, @i in their power im ite favor, Now the time has And es to the recall of Lord [lgin, justice requires th f his administration should, first of ue be pe ‘2 ve tees harsh, einrtory or in any respect uncenstitutional. Hitherto, the fault of his government (it such, indeed, can be galled a fault), has been ita excessive leniency. Thut leniency hus, with the Orange minority of conspirators, produced its own evil fruits. This must henceforth be followed by a mgorous suppres- sion of those rebellious passions, which are only festered into maturity by the generosity of » genial administration This we muintain to be the only rational course open to the government, as a be- inning. First of all, the infliction of a tremen- ous penalty on the insurgents ; then the resump- tien of a regenerative policy for the Canadas, Be. fore that policy, however, 1s again taken up, the cabinet muet act upen the following principle—In the presence of rioters, not one shadow of a coa- cession. Affair ef Madame Carnal in Paris—Adal- tery and Attempted Homicide, [From Galignani’s Meavenger.} ‘The reader will remember the immense sensa- tien which was created, several weeks ago, by a most lamentable case of adultery, accompanied by not fewer than three attempts at homicide, in the house of a gentleman nemed Careby io, 80 Rue @Apjou St. Honoré. The three principal actors ia the drema—M. and Madame Caraby apd M. de Coetlogon—were subsequently arrested, and, 2 a careful investigation of the affair by the judiei , were ordered for trial before the Court ‘This trial commenced on Monday, the 14th ult., and the greatest curiosity was manifested to heur it, the case, taken altogether, being per- aps one of the most striking ever submitted toa criminal tribunal, i ‘The appearance of the accused in the dock ex- cited much sensation. Madame Caraby was the first toenter. She ts twenty-eight years of age, very handsome, with brilliant black eyes; she was fashionably dressed. Before seating’ herself, she glanced calmly around the court. Her husband was placed beside her—he is ot middle stature, with large moustache De Coetlogon came next; he is good looking, with long moustaches, and was eleguntly attired in black In answer to the usual questions, the female pri- soner said her name is Marie Ophelia Caraby; that she is twenty-eight years of age, und that she was born at New Orleans. The husband said his name is Calixte Caraby ; his age thirty-six, his position in life that of a rentier, and his place ot birth New Orleans. The other prisoner said his name is Hip- pelyte Eugéne Anatole de Coetlogon; his age twenty-nine, and that be is of no profession, but was formerly an officer in the army. The indictment was then read. It set forth that the Carabys were married in 1839, and had four children—their marriage was one of inclination— indeed, it was a runaway match, In 1843 they went to live with the wife’s mether at Chalons- sur-Saone; but, in 1847, returned to Paris, and took an apartment in the Rue d’Anjou St. Honoré. The husband thought his wife’s conduct in society was not becoming, and this led to dissensions between them, which ended in their living separate, though under the same roof, Caraby did not suspect his wife of being unfaithful to him, until 27th February last, when he heard Annette Trenet, the cook, say to her, in an altercation, ‘I can hold up my head and you cannot!” The next day the bonne of the children, Louise Bécu, in reply to some obserya- tion he made to her Tespecund: his wife, said, “Mon Dieu! I wish to say something to you, but 1 dare not!”? When pressed by him, however, to ex- plain herself, she stated that she had often seen a man in her mistress’s bed-chamber; and she added, “If you would wish to eathiies him there, you must take precautions, for he is armed!” hia information created a profound effect on Caraby. Tn astate of great agitation he went to the shop of Devisme, the gunsmith, where he purchased a brace of pocket pistols, and caused them to be load- ed in his presence. In his examination before the mugistrates, he insisted that he had only bought the pistols asa measure of precaution, and not with the Intention of taking yengeance on the author of his dishonor. After leaving Devisme’s, Caraby went to his mother’s house, oud begged his brother Antony to accompany him home. He then told him the cause of the trouble which agitated him. Antony immediately went to the commissary of police to get him te go to the house to obtain formal proof of the commission of the sdultery ; but, as that functionary was not at home, he knocked up the concierge of his brother’s house, and told him te be on the watch. Antony then joined his brother, | dow ol who at that time had with him another brother, named Etienne. The three brothers arranged with the servant, Louise, that she should watch her mistress’s chamber, and ere a signal whea she should see the lover enter it. Whilst ese) for this signal, Caraby threw himeelf, fully dresse on the bed in his own apartment. The apartment eccupied by the Carabys was on the fourth story ef No. 80, Rue d’Anjou, and it had a balcony on which the window of Mme. Caraby’s room, and ot two other rooms opened. At about a yard from one end of the entrance was the window of a gar- ret, which garret De Ceetlogon rented. It was from this garret that he was in the habit of pass- ing, by means of a gutter, into Mme. Caraby’s bed- room; and in order to facilitate his access, he had sawn through the iron bars at the end of the bal- cony, so asto be able to remove them at will. The passage from the garret to the balcony was not without danger. No one had any idea that the lovers had this means of com- munication. At about eleven o'clock, on the night of the 23th February, Louise being, as just stated, on the watch, heard a bell ring in the room of Madame Caraby, which was responded to by another bell in the garret ; presently she heard the bars of 1ron fall, and almost at the same instant saw aman pass along the balcony into the bed-room of her mistress and close the window. She imme- diately informed the three brothers; they waited for about a quarter of an hour, and then Carab putting on his great coat, in the pocket of whic! were his pistols, went by the balcony to the win- his wife's room. He was followed by his brether Antony and Louise ; Etienne went to the door of Madame Caraby’s chamber. Caraby saw that two lights were burning on the table, but the emotion he felt prevented him from distinguishing unything in the room. Antony, however, saw a mun lying in bed by the side of Mme. Caraby, and reading a newspaper. Antony recommended his brother to be calm ; but Caraby, not able to restrain himself, ran for his National Guard musket to break open the window. On his return, alm@st at the same moment, be broke two panes of glass and cried * open!” Theman who was in the bed jumped out, and advancing to the window said, “Give me time to dress myself! He then re- turned to the bedside and consulted Madame Cara- by. The husbend heard her distinctly say to her lover, * Take your pistol and shoot him !” (+ Amme-toi et tire sur lui!) Coetlogon disappear- | ed fora moment behind the curtain, and then opened the window ; but as soon as Caraby made atiep to enter, he discharged a pistol at him, end wounded him in, the arm. Thereupon, raby pulled one of his, pistols from. his pocket, and di:charged it fall in Coetlogon’s fresnb!. weridualy Wenading. “hits, Ooameon stepped on the baleony, but owing to the intense darkness, Curaby could not distinguish him. Pre- itly, however, the latter heard another report of | a pistol, and rushed into a room to avoid his as- sailont.’ Lonise immediately after saw the man pass from the end of the baleony to the garret. Caraby’s brothers, finding that he was wounded, attended him and sent fora doctor. ‘The doctor, informed of what had passed, and being told it wes not known what had become of the aggress recommended Caraby to go to his mother’s iy lest he shonld be again attacked. Caraby, his brothers, and the doctor accordingly descended atened | Such are some of | one or two individuals were brought out in a rather | ' | th e certainty of the whole outbreak being | the stairease; this was about half or three quar- ters of an hour after the scene jnst described. On arriving at the foot of the staircase, a young man named Borgognon, who had been passing the even- ing in an slish family residing in the was seen descending the. staire Che wife ¢ oncterge, on seeing him, cried, “ There he is —the assassin!” and Antony Caraby exclaimed, “it is I recognise hin!” Borgognon was immedixtely roughly seized by the brothers, and all his remonstrances were disregarded. At length Cu excited to f at the sight of the man he considered the accomplice of his wite, discharged his pistol in his face, whereby his wshed.

It was only the next day that bis innocence waa proved. Whilst this ¥ ing Madame Caraby had disappeared; end it subsequently turned out’ that she fol- lowed Coetle on from the bulcony to the garret, had gone to his residence in the tue de I'Univereité, where Coetiogon bad also re- tued. The physician called in by Coetlegon oflered her # bed in his house, which she aceepied, and the next day she went home to her family. Alter having set forth these facts at some length, the indictment entered into an elaborate examina- ton of the explanations given by the three accused, and concluded by stating thatthe charge against the weman Caraby was that of adultery; avainst Ceetlegon of being an accomplice in the adultery, and of having on 28th February committed anat- tempt of homicide on the person of Cetaby; Rad ageinst Carabyyof an attempt at homicide on the if reon of Borgognon; offences and crimes punished by articles 2, s4, 357 and 338 of the Penal Code. The first accused, Madame Caraby, was then questioned by the President, and she said: “I was born at New Oileans. My father and mother are living. 1 was married in 1839, and have four chil- dren—the eldest six years of age—the youngest two. My husband ard yyselt lived at Paris from 19 to 1844, and afterwards at Chalons. itis too true that there were misunderstandings between us. (‘I he prisoner spoke in euch alow tone of voice that the President propored that she should go nearer the bench; but she said she would endeavor to spevk louder.) The neglect of my husband was often a cause of quarrel between us. He was often | awey from home under pretence of Paris. ‘We came to Paris in 1847. Our terwarde beceme still greater. My husband was frequently absent; he did not say why. That cnused tre sometimes te suspect that he had wilty liaivons, but my suspicions were unfounded. Fao not remember that my husband rey with my conduct in society; we never in fact went into society. All intimate relations between my husband and myself had ceased for seven months previous to February. My husband was accustom- ed te come home late; I reproached him; that vexed him; and at length he never came near me when he came home. He did not refuse to take me into 80¢) bué once in January last, after promising to take me to vieit an English lady, he refused.” ‘Tug Presipxnr.—At what period did your rela- tens with Coetlogon commence?—In March 1843. Where did you meet him?—At the Tuileries, where I went to.take my children fora walk. _ Where did he reside?—I did not ascertain his ncdress fora long time after; but he resided Rue de (Université, 20, You went there several timest—Yes, si tines. Ihave never denied that the porte it. It wus during a long and serious sickness which I had from November, 1848, to the end of January, that Coetlogon took the room near my balcony. During my sickness, [ signed at my hus band’s request, a renunciation of some of my mat- trimontel rights, in order to facilitate th houre at New Orleans. I was always the state of my husband’s affairs. " Tue Presipgnt.—The house in which you re- sided, and that in which Coetlogon was, were se- parated by an iron railing. . At. what. period did you learn thet he had sawn through the bars to vet acces to you? Towards the end of January. ae one day presented himself unexpeetedly on my alcony. You wrote letters tohim ? Yes, and gave them tomy domestics ; but never told them not to let my husband see them. I never took my domestics into my confidence on the subject of my relations with Coetlogon. I deny formally that the eook Trenet ever said to me that she could walk with her head high, and that I could not. It is not true that the gust Cotine found Coetlegon in my cham- ber, and that I, in consequence, forbade her te come in, without knocking at the door. Had you not a signal to summon Coetlogen to a rendezvous? Trang a bell, and M. de Coetlogon rephed in the some way. : aA On the 25th ef February you notified to him in that rhanner that he Ovuld come 1—Yes, sir. foe he pass the night of the 27th with you 7— On the 28th your husband came to ask for the key of the buffet?—Yes. It is impossible that 1 could, as has been stuted, have afterwards sent Louise to see if my husband were asleep, on_pre- tence or eahine forthe newspaper, for i had the newspaper. IT didnot tellher to take care to fas- ten the doors to prevent him from coming into the room. J have already said that I gave a signal to M. de Coetlogon that he might come, and that he answered it. : ‘What time was it when he came to you? Half past eleven o'clock. You were in bed? Yes. BR the side of your child aged two yearat—Yes; he was in the litde bed which I made for him whenever M. de Coetlogon was to come. I made tus bed with a pillow on two arm-chairs. De Coetlogon got into bed to yout—Yes. You heard -your husband éry on the baleony “Open, open! 1 have witnesses?” M. de Coetlo- gon hac been twenty minutes with me when I heard—(lere the accused paused for a moment and then bursting into tears, exclaimed)—but hemes you, Mr. President, to spare me this re- cital. ‘The statement she had made to the eaamining magistrate wes accordingly read. : Did you pronounce the words * Take your pistol and shoot him?” | This is infamous! If M. de Coetlogon had hed to kill my husband, he might Fave done 80; he had a four-barrelled pistol. and my husband fled before him. Coetlogon ha told me that he had pistols, but that they had no percussion caps. I did not’ see his pistol on the th February. It is false that I said, ** Take your nstol and shoot him!” Coetlogon asked me what fe was todo. I said, “Do what you will; how can I tell? how can I tell?” He cried, * Wait until I am dressed.” ~When he went towards the window, he had the pistol behind his back, and it wes pointed towards the ground. I heard a de- tonation when his pistol was still in that position. 1 did not remark that Coetlogon was wounded. He fired in the air. I learned afterwards that my husband had been wounded in the arm; I did not see him, it was so dark, and I was so troubled. My husband did not enter the room, You say that your husband fired first Yes, I think so. .And that Coetlogon responded by firing in the air 3—That 1s my opimon. What passed afterwards 1—De Coetlogon went on the balcony. My husband cried, “Come to me, Antony; he wanted to kill me!” Ido not know that Coetlogon pursued my husband on the balcony, What I know is, that M. de Coetlogon returned to my room covered with blood. He re- commended me to leave the house, but I refused to quit my children, and I caused him to leave by my eupplications. 1 then went to look in the chil- dren’s recom. I saw my husband with his brothers. He was in a great passion. I re-entered my reom, and placed my child in the bed. I then took the direction that M. de Coetlogon had done. I passed through his chamber, descended the staircase, call- ed for the euter door to be opened, and once in the strcet I threw myself into the first eab I met with, und drove to the Rue de l'Université. I did not hear any new detonation when I was descending the staircase. M.

The pistol he had with hiya on previous occasions was unfit for use. Hw denied that he had been the first to fire. He declared that he had not fired at M. Caraby at all, and that his wound must have been occasioned by the rebound of the ball after suiking the wall. He said Madame Carapy was mnistuken in eying, that, when M. Curaby appeared at the window, he (Cortlogon) had cried, * Wait ull | am dressed!” He had, on the contrary, only suid that he would open the window. He denied that he had fired a second shot at M. Curaby. He sup- pored that bis wound on the head was caused bya tow from the pistol of M. Curaby. He was laid up by bis wounds to the 22d March. The ball was not yet extracted. Witesses were then called. Annette Trenet, the cook, said that M. Caraby had struck and kicked his wate in her presence. They did not live happily together. She had suspected her mistress, had seen her fellowed by Coetlogon, and had carried letters from her for him to the post office. Ina dispute with her mistress she had told her that she (witness) was quite ag good as she was. Louise Beeu, the bonne, stated that she had seen a man in her mistress’y chamber; that her mistress had confessed to her that she had fatt des bétises; that she (witness) had commani- cated to by the secret of Ins wife’s miscoa- duct, end that'on 28th February her mistress had directed her to fasten the door of her husband’s room to prevent his going te her. Witness also desribed, as alreudy stated, what subsequentiy tock place. Madame Caraby declared that all the girl’s evidence was false. Antony Caraby geve en account of the eventsin which he participated with his brother. The brother-in-law of Curaby stated that 10,000fr. was offered to M. Borgognon for the injury unintentionally done him, but had not been accepted. ‘T'wo witnesses de- clared that Coetlogon had always protested against the supposition that he could have attempted to kill Caraby. M. Borgognon described how he was woun cerebys the d on descending the. staircase of house ; but he asserted, to the astonishment of th: court, that it was not the accused Caraby, but his brother, Etienne, who had fired on him. | On this, Euenne cried : * [ selemnly swear to God that that is not true!” Anether brother, Eugene, declared that the pistol was really fired by the accused. Several other witnesses were examined, but their testimony added nothing to the information alread: ziven. it was remarked with pleasure that M. orgognon’s face bore few traccs of the dreadful injury he had received. He announced his inten- tion of making a liberal present to the hospital in which he had been carefully attended to. Medical witnesses described the wound of Coetlogon as very grave ; that of Caraby was not important, but a ball lodged in his clothes. ‘The trial was then adjourned. he trial was resumed yesterday. After the examination of some witnesses, whose testimony wes of ne importance, the public prose- cutor delivered his requisitory, in which he insist- ed that the offence of adultery was fully proved, and he dwelton the peculiar infamy of adultery committed in the husband’s bed, Wnilae the hus- band himself was m an adjacent room, and whilst an infant child wes sleeping near. He then insist- ed that Coetlozon had fired at Caraby, before Ca. raby firedathim. As respected. the latter, he left it to the conrt to say whether his attempt to kill Coetlogon was not excused by the fact of his finding him in adultery with his wife; but, with regard to the attack on Borgognon, made in the belief that he was Coetlogon, the learned gentle- man submitted that, considering the time that had japsed, Caraby ought to have dibglayed more pru- dence and moderation, M. Pas.es, advocate of Mme. Caraby, entered into an examination of the facts of the case, in the course of which he read an affecting letter which she had written to her futher and, mother in 1339, to implore their pardon for marrying Caraby with- out their consent. After relating her meeting with Coetlogon, and dwelling on the persevering at- acks which that person made on her virtue, and which she stoutly resisted for some time, M. Pail let arriving at the afiair of 28th February strenu- ously insisted that Mme. Caraby had not cried to Coetlogon, when her husband was at the window, “Tuke your pistol and shoot him! She had, he ssid, “alfrayh etréagly denied: it, arid she now au- thorized him to declare that it was an infamous secusation, M. Paillet took some pains to show that the child was, as Mime. Caraby had stated, really asleep ina bed formed by two arm chairs, not lying by her side when she was in bed with Coet- Jegon. " He then made an earnest appeal to the hus band to pardon his wife, the mother of his children. _ M. Biutoc pleaded for Coetlogon. He chic insisted that it was not his client who first fi on Caraby; and he dwelt on his honorable character. M. Cuarx p's anae, for M. Caraby in a vert eloquent speech, described the affection whic Caraby hud borne to his wife, and the pecuniary sacrifices he had made for her. He attacked Coetlogon in strong terms for the means by which he had succeeded in seducing her; dwelt on the infamy of compromising a women by persecu- tions in order to master her virtue ; denounced his audacity in committing adultery m the very cham- berand very bed of the outraged husband, and whilstthe woman's children were near her. He noticed, with eloquent indignation, the atrocity of Coctlogon being armed tm his criminal readez- yous with Madame Caraby. He insisted that Caraby could not be condemned for the attack on Rorgegnon, as it was clearly a mistake, and a niztuke, under such cireumstences and when he was in a state of dreadful agitation, was excu- sable, With respect to the cry of, “Take your pistol and shoot him!” M. Chaix d’Est Ange said that, for bis part, he was canvinced that Jaraby must have been m en in supposing that his wile had uttered it. Tt was not possible, he de- clared, that she could have done so, because he was her husband, and her child was near her! ‘The Puxsioenr then summed up, and, after abent an nour’s dehberation, the jury returned a verdict of * guilty” on the charge of adultery, and “not puilty” as regarded all the other charges. M. Caraby was consequently immediately set at liberty ; and the court condemned Madame Ca- reby end Coetlogen for the adultery, each to two years? iny oxrment, and the latter to 1,000fr. fine. Madame Caruby was very pale and grently agi- tated. When sentence was delivered she ‘burst into tears. She then fixed her eyes on Coetlogon, bot he remained impassible. After thanking her advocate, by warmly preseing his hands, she was token away by the gend’arms. Coetloyon's friend grasped him Ly the hand as he was led away.

THE BULL AND TIGER FIGHT, Mannrp. May 18.—Long before the appointed howe for the commencement of the lucha de fierus yesterday, every seat and standing place at the Plaza do [Toros was occupicd.

Twenty men, armed Roman fashion, with hel- mets and pikes, were placed at intervals round th railing or cage, to assist in preventing the escapo of the « liger, should he attempt it. Four o'clock was the ap- pointed hour tor the performance; but, entertained by the music of several military bands, people managed to wait with tolexable patience till'a quarter past, at which hour the sudden striking of the royal march an- nounced the arrival of her Majesty from Aranjuez, and the ehortly after entered the royal box, whore Geasrat Narvaes and other ministers were in attendance, with the Political Chief, aud various members of the house- hold. The first part of the performance was stated to be intended to show a regular stag hunt to the curious dridenc the Queen had given a dver from one of ne royal p but the latter was an unfortunate little animal without horns. and fell a prey, within two minutes, to about 2 dozen dogs let in after it, and who were styled by courtesy greyhounds, one or two having in fact more or less affinity with that race. Great in. diguation was excited by this speetacle, and cries of “fuera. fuera.” (off, off.) resounded on all’sides, Aftee the dogs bad been driven out, and the deer carried out, M. Charles, the animal tamer and proprietor of th tigor, entered with his two hyenas, icading each with achain, and proceeded to perform certain feats, nos very novel here. as he hes performed them every day for some time, but showing the control he has over those avimals, « bg with them for pieces of meat M.

The bull did uot see the tiger at first, but when he did he made straight towards him ; but they were still a pretty good dis- tance apart, when the tiger suddenly turned. and made off amidst the derisive shouts of the spectators, and cries of “Bravo, toro!” The latter, findiog uo enemy to attack, remained staring about, while the tiger ran slowly round the area close to the railing. ag it looking for & point to escape at, as no doubt ho waa, ‘The buil was. however, roused from bis immobility by nssittants, who went round waviug eolored hondker- chiefs outeide the barrier, and in this way was got near to the tiger, whem, seeing in motion, he again ran at ; and this time the tiger, as the ball heared him, tried to spring vpon him at close quarters, but the bull re- ceived him on one of bis horns, and threw him over his head. inflicting a severe wound under the lower jaw. and the tiger, on getting up, made off to the further sido et the area, and stretched hima self out by the barrier, and nothing could induce Lim to combat aguin, After u short time he got up, avd having recognised his cage, he went to that part of the barrier, trying to get out; but not being able to do so, he stretoued hiuself out. and Jay quite still, The bull wax drawn towards him ceveral times, but as he lay motionless the bull passed with- out attacking sim, and made for the middle of the are: where he remained.
