Tke Beene In Conrt aad Examination of the Accasea. The trial of Traupmann commenced on the 2fcth nlL Lodz before dawn the doors of the Conrt were besieged by large crowds, who evi dently thought they might force an entrance with a men. But precautions had been taken to prevent this, for about half an hour before the ' opening of the rates a posse of police and about a battalion of the Oarde de Paris drew up and termed a line right through the crowd, and down x" this line no one was allowed to pass who was not the bearer of a ticket. The bar haveaprl . vate. entrance of their own. and mastered in treat force, a large number of young avocata nnceremonlously occupying the seats reserved for ticket-holders. In the Interval between the opening of the doors and the commencement of ' the proceedings the scene was curious. Ladies ' " in quiet toilettes occupied the front seats be- hind the- 'acocacs, magistrates and jurymen wera nacked around; here was a soldier. there an usher; and a ring of animated specta tors rose in . thick, press, in tne background, Arranged on a table in view of all were the wit nesses against the murderer the clotheB found on his victims, even to the light-blue gown worn by the baby-girl, Marie Hortense, and in order, beside this mournful wardrobe, were arranged the instruments of the crime the shovel with . which the graves were dug at Pantln, the short pick with which the children had most likely been done to death, tne norn-naitea uniie ais ' covered sticking in the corpse of Gastave Kinck, and the iare containing the entrails of his father. The plan of the field of blood at Pantin was also exhibited, and formed not the least interesting of the grtm paraphernalia of the court. There is a dead silence In the assembly, and an eager arawing-in oi me uream as iue i reoiueut cries, '.'Usher, brine in the accused." By a spontane- ' ' ous movement every one rises, and strains on tiD-toe to catch a better sight of the criminal who bos filled Franco with the story of his deeds for the past three months, and has made Traup mann a synonym for all that is truculent, t A boyish figure appears, flanked by the burly frames of two gendarmes. Every eye Is turned towards it that is Traupmann himself ! Ue looks uneasy as he enters, but gathers confidence euickly; and turns his gaze in the direction of the ury. lie is somewnat uuuer tne miaaie ' size, meagre in form, and ot a boyish build. There is something almost childish in his fea tures as seen from the front, but his profile give 4 more telling indication as to what his character is, the amount of firmness that must underlie those frail proportions, the savage energy of his nature, and the tenacious perseverance that can have coolly planned and consecutively carried out the massacre of a family; Ills forehead recedes, his baukhead is heavy, a villainous lower iaw Droiects. and elves a sinister effect to the under portion of his face. The nose is long and aquiline, and rather finely cut, his eye is firm, a light down beard is visible on his upper lip, and fringes bis cheeks, which are pale assuredly, bnt not remarkably so for such an occasion as this. An abundant crop of brown hair is brushed back .from his forehead, and carried behind his ears. The drees of the crimi - . nal is such as an ordinary workman might wear a topcoat, the worse for wear, a waistcoat of dark velvet, ana trousers ox Drown cioin. ' The brave ship-caulker, Hauguel, who had reached Traupmann from his attempt to drowu himself at Havre, and Ferrand, the gendarme who had effected his arrest, came in lor partlcn lar remark. . The trial was resumed on Wednesday. The prisoner appeared much the same as the day previous, though, if anything, rather paler. The prisoner declared that Gustave Kinck was killed by bis accomplice, ana that lie was not tne mur derer. He still persisted in the statements and denials he has already mode. Twenty-four wit nesses were examined, hut no fresh evidence was nroduced. The gendarmes Ferrand, Calfat, Ilaufel, and other witnesses were also examined. The President praised the conduct of Ferrand and Haufcl, and his remarks were greatly ap plauded. Dr. Bergeron gave evidence to the effect that one man would be capable of accom plishing all the murders of which Traupmann is accused, and similar evidence was given by Dr. Fardien.. Traupmann objected to these statements, and said be was not a Hercules; but Dr. Bergeron, who has examined the pri soner, declared that he has acquired a certain strength and agility from the exercise of his profeeulon of engineer. , THE IMPERIAL ASSASSIN.' Mi etch of Prince Pierre Napoleon Boaaparte. Prince Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte, whose name figures so prominently in connection with the quarrel arising ont of an article in the Mar illait, has had an adventurous career.and, un like his elder brother, Lucien, has chiefly fol lowed military pursit,' He is the third son of Lncien, brother of Napoleon I, and was born at Rome in 1015. In ltfiii he came to this country to join his uncle, Joseph, formerly King of ftoaln. He next proceeded to Colombia and joined the army of Kantander, by whom he was placed in command of a squadron. Boon after he returned to Italy, where he was regarded with disfavor by the Papal Govern ment, which in 1830 intimated to him that lie should, leave the Papal States. Surrounded by a troop of mounted police, he wounded two and killed their cblef; he received, however, two wounds in the encounter, and had to surrender. After a rather long detention at Fort Balut Angelo, in Home, he returned to this country. He next went England, and thence to the inland of Corfu. During an excursion in Albania, he had a quarrel with the Pulllkares, and sustained almost unaided a deadly combat. The English Government having induced him to leave the Italian and Greek coasts, he left for l.ondon, afier vainly offering his services to , France, and to Mchemet All, tho Viceroy of Egypt. In 184a, on hearing tho news ot the revolutlr n he hastened to Paris, recalled to the public the life and opinions of his father, who. Iind always entertained rcpuunsan principles, and obtained a military appointment. He was elected in Corsica to the Constituent Assembly, and was placed on the Committee on War. He usually voted wltn tne extreme J ami, ana again-a having two Chambers; for the right to labor; progressive taxation; amnesty tor me trans ported prisoners; and in favor of the entire re publican constitution. On many occasions ho testified to the sentiments of his coaBln, Louis Napoleon. After tho election of December . 10,' lie continued to sit wltn tne Mountain rrty, and disapproved of the expedition to Rome. The democrats received a consistent support from him. except in relation to personal matters of the President. ' Re-elected for Corsica, he acted as one of the most ardent, adversaries ot reaction. The anger of the Right was often ex cited by his democratic ardor. I ' M. Pierre Bonaparte also energetically denied. that any protects were entertained respecting a coup d'etat, in rather unparliamentary language; He snowed tne same intractable uieposmon in his military conduct. In 1S4'J, he left for Alge ria, where he assisted at the first operation of the siege of Zaachta, and then, before the as sault, ana without permission, ne rciurnea to France. The Minister of War deprived him of his military rank, and this measure, which was followed by a duel between M.' Pierre Bonaparte ana a journalist oi the .extremeimgni. reccivea the express approbation of the Assembly. . -The coup d'etat having placed .in ad awkward, position the members of the Bonaparte family, wnonad pronounced in favor of the maintenance of the Constitution, M. Pierre Bonaparte retired to private life. At there-establishment of the empire he received, with bis brothers, the title of Prince, but without being any longer one of tne imperial family. - lie aoes not mucn fre quent the Conrt of the Tullerles, lives sometimes In Corsica, to gratify his taste for hunting, and at other times at a country house at Auteuil. He devotes part of his leisure to literary pur suits, and translated Niccollnl's tragedy of A'abuchoioiwsor into French verse. ' TERRIBLE INUNDATION. . I . ; Great Deatrnrtlon of I-lfe and Property at l;anipecnet Mexico- Had scenes. v The Campeche Espirttu Publico of a recent date says: . ' . ..: . .. me capital oi this Btate nas been aisturoea by a fearful Inundation. - Its lamentable results will be felt for some time. For ' seven days past the rain has fallen from the afternoon . until mid night; but on the 26th abovesald, it commenced to rain wltn sucn abundance mat me oKaicnes (low lands) poured forth their currents of water upon the town with considerable impetuosity. At 8 P. M. the water commenced to rise vio lently on the wards of Ban Francisco, Santa Anna, Guadalonpe, and San Roman, having reached pn the same night, at 10 o'clock, tlie height of two metres on the inland gate, inside the walls, and four metres outside. The whole town was aroused by the cries and lamentations of the unnappy people ot the wards, who im plored for aid on seeing their lives threatened, not only by the water which roso fast, but by the violence of the current, which carried off every object. Boats wera immediately provided by the civil . authorities and the citizens, to save the lives . of those - outside the walls, but '. all efforts ' were - impotent in these momenta against tne iorce ot me current. Only a few, boats could reach' Santa Anna, and the streets of the inland gate inside the walls, and thus were saved, a large number of families who bad climbed to the walls, trees, and house tops. Some poor wretches, exhausted by fatigue, or not being able to . resist the current, let go their hold and perished with their children'. The water had thrown down some walls and several straw and . stone houses.. The people could be seen rushing everywhere, searching for boats to aid the sufferers, and lighting fires to facilitate the means of salvation, as the night was extremely dark-The' families outside the walls were, somewhat relieved by the boats which had reached ' them, and by 3 o'clock A.M., on the. 87th ulU, the moon had com menced to shine, thus making the sitnation less painful. The spectacle was a touching and sor rowful one; everywhere could be seen the unfor tunates, who had saved their ' lives with great difficulty, contemplating tho loss of their pro perty, their clothes, ana what is more yet, their children and their parents. After daylight on the 87th the picking up of the bodies was com menced. .' ' : The cemetery of Ban Roman was completely destroyed. The stone walls and the tombs were carried away by the sea.' ' ( T The people "of Campeche conducted them selves in a heroic manner in the moments of great anguish, and euce more gave a proof , of their charitable hearts and their interest in tho good of humanity. The same can be said of the first battalion of Cazadores and the regular artillery. -''.. This overflow almost equalled the great storm of the 7th of September, 1807, which almost destroyed the city of Campeche.' . . M The cemetery of San Roman presented, en the 28th ultimo, a picture wrthy of one of those paintings envied by photography itself. The wall in front of the edifice, and on the eastern side, was forced out of its cements by the water Inclosed in the cemetery and which entered by a small door in the southeastern angle, carrying the rubbish to the seashore, a distance of some 80 metres.. The sepulchres, made of stone and about a metre in depth, were carried off by the current, and the remains scattered, even some bodies which had been interred recently, along the shore of San Roman, the current making great excavations and obstructions from where the water precipitated ltuelf with such impetu osity and a noise so horrible that tt seemed to us to look like Niagara Falls. On the same ward of San Roman, on the me morable night ot the 86th, the water discharged all its force through one of the streets near to the bridge, making a canal as wide as the street, and carrying off many houses. THE QUEEN OF SHEBA. Selling Oat a Queer Ola Wonaa the Levee. it will be remembered mat about two years ago the city condemned and purchased some pro perty on me levee, inciuaing me row oi nouses between Fourth and Bullitt streets. Among these was an oia, aiiapiaatea one Known as the "Blue House," from its peculiar color. The city has been renting all except this one, it being in such a bad condition that people were afraid to live in it. There is now (and nas been from time "whereof the memory of man runneth not to the contrary") an old, shabby, and half-crazy woman living in a room in tne secona story oi tnis nonso. How she cot or when she got there no one can tell. The city oillclul who collects rent from the tenants along there only knows that the woman was thee when the property fell into the city's hands. The neighbors say she was there when they came. Ihe collector oi rent has en' deavored to make her pay for the use of the room, but in vain. He has threatened to put her out, but has himself been put out several times In the attempt. She has a great long sabre, which is her only means of defense, ana she often makes use of it to the terror of her neighbors. Besides her sabre there it a large Newfoundland dog with which she amuses herself daily at the river by playing In the water and often wading In up t her waist, and splashing around to tho eminent delight of I the big woolly fellow of a dog, who occasionally takes a Journey over to tho head of the falls and back by way of variety, How she subsists is a mystery, but both she and her dog manage to survive luxuriously lor au we uiow. Bit is known as the "vjuecn of Shcba." The house in which she lives hav ing become so dangerous as to be considered a public nuisance, the city has ordered it to be torn aown ana tne material soiu. mosaic toon place Saturday afternoon, but not, it appears, without the serions intervention of its wrathy tenant. The crowd of buyers hod asxcrablod, and the auctioneer mounted his stand before the old lady knew anything about the matter. After a short explanation in regard to the object of the sale, etc., he commenced, "how much," "how much," "how much," "how much am I offered for the honse, with tho Queen and dog thrown in?" "How much." "give me a bid." "Twenty five dollars,',' called out one of the bidders. "Twenty-five dollars I'm offered to start It; who says fifty?" Just then there was' a -crash on the ' stairs, a scat-' torment among the bystanders, and out came the "Queen of Hhcba," her vengeful sabro flashing high above her head, and imprecations flowing from her Hps in terrifying profusion. Before the auctioneer could collect himself she was on him, and, with one swlug of her sword, down he came from his barrel without respect to shins or clean clothes; It is said that the direful Queen ran him into the river, bnt that may be a little' exaggerated. Anyhow, the -s Uo was materially interfered with for the time being, and the old lady with her dog and sabre, still holds possession, and says tbitt she intends" to stay there till the front part falls out. any way. The place is now fenced in, so as to pre vent persons from passing dangerously near to tho Impending walls. Louumile Journal, Jan, 10 .;.... ; i ... . ... .. ..... ' ;- IHE CHURCH . SCANDAL.

After nearly, elirht hours of heated debate' between the men who wished to give the contested seat in the Senate to Scull (the Republican), and those who thought mat I indlay (Democrat) was entitled to it, the debate suddenly terminated by cries for n vote. When it was taken all the Republi cans except Bililngfelt, ot Lancaster, and LowTy, of Erie, voted for Scull.' These two Sentlcmen stated that they conscientiously be-, eved that the papers presented by the Demo cratic competitor made out a priiHafaeia case in bis favor, and they, accordingly voted, with the Democrats. The rcsnlt was a tie vote tt 15' to 15, and of course the resolntlon favoring the admlcsion of Scull was lost Instantly after this decision Findlay, the competitor, stepped in' front of the Sneaker's desk, and was announced by Senator Wallace as waiting to take the oath. ine npeaaer asKea Wallace whether he made a motion to that effect ?

Address ol the Executive aud Council. ' I The Fenian Brotherhood of Ireland has issued an important address to the fraternity at large,, and especially to that portion on this side of tne water. Alter congratulating the American mana gers upon ' their union organization, prudence, and discipline, the address goes on to declare mat me Irish people expcriencea witn pleasure the disestablishment of the Irish Church, and. though disestablished, complaints are still well grounded that it was not disendowed. It advo cates the disbanding of the English colony and the breaking up of the military rule. Feudal landlordism, It declares, Is doomed, and that the soil belongs to me irisn people tor their fruition and enjoyment. Other grievances it considers under the head of maladministration, of justice and excessive taxation, ills which oppress the people and pull down the pillars of their society. Alien domination is severely denounced. The wars of Ireland came from this source originally, and when this evil is extirpated, peace, concord, and happiness will reign over a people for 800 years con demned to poverty aud tyranny. .
