The ball entered the left side, passing through the body and coming out near the spine. The surgeons all regarded his case as hopeless,and only his heroic calmness saved his life. lam glad to be able to say that, though In a very weak condition, he is consid ered out of danger, and his recovery is only a matter of time.

Such a case has just , arisen at Murseillee, where seven persona (six women and one man) have been tried tor Polioningi three of the parties so accused being "widows," and all three found guilty of causing - the death of their:husbarids by arsenic, under.cirenmstances_ot,the___most cold blooded and calculating` atrocity r I shall make no apology for devoting-a - letter - to atnef recital - of proceedings which extended over several days, and hive been filling many columns of our jonr - us/B. , ;Ir1 5 ) 45 Marseilles is a city which has long enjoyed a fatal pre-emlnence in fanaticism, superstition and Immorality, and these qualities have too • often displayed themselves in its reli gions and - social life; T In the Old revolution, the scenes enacted there rivalled in atrocity even those of Faris. At the present - day Marseilles surpasses all other places in the mediamal pomp of its religions processions, in its celebration of such fetes as that of the Immaculate Con ception, and its ahnost pagan " 1- .lvotion to Netre Dame de_ Bon—Secoun3,_.whose chapels_ are _filled with_the_talnike _nuance of„- her worshippers. The social immondity of the upper classes is, I am sorry to say, only too notorious, and, as you will presently see, ex tends down to the lowest. In no part of France, perhaps, is the theatre exactly a place of assem blaixe of the purest character. But Marseilles is* ,the only city I know where the tpgatre is, or at least was, literally given up to the most degraded of all classes, and in plain words, converted into a public brothel. I.have witnessed scenes there worth "ofthe Iliman T hermw, and of which it is impossible to speak further. I mention these' things because there can be no doubt that the' - superstitions which degrade religion and the out.. rages to all decency manifested in high circles have tended much to produce such examples, of crime amongst the pepulation as I am about to; narrate. The three widows accused of poisoning their' hushands-were named Vifie,fialYago and Gabriel, ail in very humble stations. - The fourother per- - sons implicated in the crime were a ,man; Joye, an herb-seller, Fanny Lambert, a formne-teller, and two other women, Dye and FayoL The crimes were first brought to light in a singular manner. h. man named Marino was thehusband of a woman who sold flowers. = Fanny Lambert went to this man's wife and told her to be outer guard, for her husband had a mistress who in tended to poison her. "If yotidiiret believe. Me : " she said, "go ask Joye, the herb-seller, who is to provide the stuff." Fortunately, the woman Ma_ rino told this to her husband, Who,though he had - been criminally connect&l with the accused Vine, had never thought of murdering his own wife, or allowing her to be murdered. On hearing what his wife had told him, Marino'wetit to his mis tress, Ville, and questioned and threatened here but could extract nothing out of her. Determined to get to the bottom of the matter, he went next to the herb-seller and s aid : "I am Madame Ville's lover, and know all about what is being done; I want to live at my ease with Mme. Ville; cm you rid me of my wife?" ;Joye was at first suspicions and scrutinized Marino closely, but seeming satisfied at last, asked him, "Are you man enough to do it?" The other replied: "If I was not, I should not be here; only do not let my wife suffer so long as th late if., Ville." This last hit, which was only a guess, upon suspicion, completely took in Joye, who replied that "it was Fanny Lambert's fault i Ville bad lasted so long," and then promised Ma rino "a powder" for next day. Raving thus got what information he wanted out of Joye; Marino returned to his mistress,Ville, and pretended that he could not live separated from her any longer and was thereupon determined to kill his wife: The woman, too, tell into the snare; and, greatly delighted, confessed to her lover how she too had got rid of her husband in the same way. When Marino talked about " discovery," she said : " Don't be afraid others have done the same"; and then told him that her friends Balvago and. Gabriel had both, poisoned their husbands with Joys's assistance• Having got this fact, Matins went to the police and denounced all the parties. The further , facts, elicited during the trial, evinced the grossest prof ligacy. Au the three women had murdered their husbands in.order to indulge freely in debauchery The youngest, Gabriel, had shown some reluc tance, but Was over-pentutuled by her mother", the prisoner Dye, and the other woman Fayol, a procuress. Fanny Lambert,the fortune-teller, had aided all the wives..in poisoning their husbands, and had introduced them to Joye for that purpose. She had received considerable sums of money from them for her aid; and it was out ,of spite against the prisoner Ville, , who had put herself into direct communication with Joye for the poisoning of the wife of Merino,without al lowing Lambert to share in the profits of the last "job," that she went to the man Marino, as re lated above, and used the expressions which brought all their atrocities to lighL The man Joye also practiced as a "fortune-teller." He used to tell the miserable women who consulted him, that they "were unhappy with their hus bands," and then offer to "rid them of them." lie generally, in the first place, proposed 49Eno "supernatural means," such as "taking a nail from some dead man's coffin, and planting it in the ground,while anathematizing the name of her husband." And then be used to add : "After that, come to me, and I will give you something which will do the rest 1" One's hair, stands on end at some of the revelations of superstition which came out at the 'trial. One woman confessed to have paid Joye ten francs.for a "charm" to make up a marriage of ber daughter which had•been broken off. Another had been told to "pray to the moon and stars at midnight" about a love affair on her own account; and• when the matter was being mentioned In Court she piously `crossed ' herself with great unction ! Flayol, the procuress, had specially recom mended the prisoner. Gabriel, who was "the most timid" of tide band of murderesses and adulteress es, Ito "burn a taper , to the Virgin,"as the most in falliblerernedy agithist cilscoveryl, Will any one after this deny the truth, alike of history and ro mond), which represents Louis XI.. praying to, -the -Virgin for. "lefties" _to commit "one little* little sin," and procure him pardon beforehand; or deny that such' "devotion" has a tendency to sap the very bases of morality by holding out the prospect of being able to commit crime with im punity?:'lt Is shocking to flatland' things "pos OUR WHOLE COUNTRY. able" in any rank of life, in the midst of one .of the largest, richest, most luxurious and • " " cities of France, and one, as I haire said, tdistingniehed above all.others_for zeal and snlendOrin its external obiavances of religion. Butl mutt add no more reflections; your readers Will; lam 'sure make them for themselves. The above trial lasted six days, and ended the 'conviction of five of the prisoners, the three "widows" all confessing their guilt.' no two, women, Dye and PLeyol, were acquitted, though, ;on. !ceding the evidence, it is ditlicrdt to say why. .Frach, and especially a Marseilles jury, of course brought In "extenuating eiretanstances,'„ __,which are even harder to account: for in the ,Cliee of those found guilty than the acqUittal of 0 the other prisoners. The woman Jialvago was sentenced to twenty years' hant , labor, and the four others to the same punishment for_life._ Acid UM ended a cause, cilibie surpassing, it must be said, the character and'. Antecedents - mu of theldatseillais poptt The papers lids morning the tele ' graphic summary of President Johnson's mes sage, but" unaccompanied, as yet, with any ob servations. Attention here will be chiefly di reeled to the issue of the pending negotiations between London 'and Washington, in which the imperialist and semi.oilichd journals manifest considerable _ "interest," and that not of a kind. most ii.vorable to the success of the proceedings inquestion. _ _ .The London Spectator says : "Mr. George Peabody has given, another £lOO,OOO to...the poor_of London. This_utakes £3,50,000 given to London, and.£lso,ooo to Baltimore, or bill a million in all. There is nothing to be said that we see in praise of-munificence like that, save that English millionaires leave :a foreigner to show them the path of duty. The Atm , Cltluesc Difficulty. The Loudon mar says that the difficulty at Yang-chow, to exact satisfaction for which Sir Rutherford Alcock has taken three war ships with him to Nankin, is purely missionary diffi eility. Whether Mr. Consul Medhurst_was the proper person to enforce rednurwhirther he had any More right to take a ship of, war , to Yang-chow in order to compel restitution than the American consul at Liverpool.would have to trail up the Thames and bombard Woolwich for the Alabama claims, will have_ to be hereafte.r more closely considered. The whole proceeding seems irregular. We do not find that any de nuind, wara;made for redress at Pekin,•and if the Court of Pekin is not fit to be treated as other Courts are, it is not St to be the seat of an Eng lish embasy. Trivial as such a.question Is, rt involves principles of the widest and gravest ap plication. "A smaller grievance and fewer mbr tercel; have landed the-nation in a war and a Min istry in grief ere this. A. Roman correspondent under date of the sth instant writes Fund Pasha,who was lately given over by the physicians, h as now so far recovered his health that he has been able to pay a visit to the Pope. He was received by the Holy Father hi the most cordial manner, and , they soon chatted as fami liar friends, while the Turk was vrefase ,in his ex.progiont ef gratitude for the attentions paid to him by the. Pope during his illness. ' The Holy Father, on his part, described the Sultan as his ntOdkur cpti' among the sovereigns of Europe, ani;spolre gratefully of the toleratiotildr he Catholics; not forgetting to add that he hoped his Highness would grant them further privileges. Fnad Pasha remarked that the Sal tan deeply regretted he had been unable to visit. Roine on his late tour through Europe, when the Pope rejoined with a laugh, " Who knows but I shall go to see him at Constantinople? Yon are not ignorant that Christ has given me all the earth, and my empire extends to the Dar danelles and far beyond, but, unlike that of a neighbor monarch, threatens no dangers to the Sultan. Indeed, his Highness and myself are in much the same situation as to neighbors, for he has his Piedmont in Russia, and I have my Czar in the Italian Revolution. We are menaced by the game dangers, and our - brother rulers have the same measure for the Cross as the Crescent. At least your Sovereign believes in his prophet, but the other governments of our day do not believe even in God." The Holy Father then requested Fuad Pasha to use his good of with the Sul tan for the protection of Catholics in every part of the Ottoman empire, and here the interview came to an end. The Consistory is.not to be held till late In the month, though mention is made of the 14th or 15th. The Pope will preconize eight bishops on the occasion, and it is now decided that the allo cution on the Spanish revolution shall be very severe. A correspondent of the St. Louis Democrat writes from Vienna, Illinois, under date of 22(1 inst., as follows: An affair both tragical and melancholy has Just occurred in this county. • On last Saturday two desperadoes, calling themselves "Texas Rangers , ' were passing through this county, when one of them rode boldly into the yard of Captain A. Franklin, and exchanged his jaded animal for one of the Cap tain's finest horses. As soon as the Captain heard of it he and some of his neighbors went in pursuit of them. On being closely pressed by the Captain the thief stopped his horse, drew a revolver, and taking deliberate aim at him, shot four times. The first shet,fired when the Captain was 50 yards behind, shattered his shoulder bone; the sec -and struck his horse near the nostrils, rendering the animal thereby wholly uncontrollable; the third entered the Captain's breast, and the fourth, fired as the infuriated animal dashed by, entered the'Captain's side, causing instant death. This occurred about one o'clock. The facts becoming known, immediately the whole neighborhood was aroused, and horsemen were on every road and pathway that the murderer could possibly takelo effect his escape. Being hotly pursued, and finding that his horse was giving on; he loft him and took to the woods. He was then quickly captured, and he and his partner were then placed under a strong guard at a house near the scene of the tragedy. About • 1 o'clock on. Sunday morning four blackened men forced their way into the house where the prisoners were being guarded, and at tempted to wrest the murderer from the guards. Being driven from the house, they got reinforce ments, again forced their way into the houSe, and dragged the'wretch forth to a tree near by, where they bung him. Not a word was spoken by, the men, and the murdererdid not plead a syllable of mercy. He was a man of very prepossessing ap pearance, quite intelligent, and claimed to be a son of ono of the.first lawyers of-Bowling Green, Kentucky. ENGLAND. Mr. Peabody , . Gilt. BONE.

Destruction' of Cluarter"of fittlilon Dollars% • Worth -of Property—One - Thousand Persons - Thrown - out ~of Snaployinento -{From the florton-Transerlat, - - The most 'serious fire that ever visited Lynn occurred this morning, and, involved the core- - plete destruction Of - L Lyneum Hall, Frazier's and Baler's Blocks, and an engine house in. the rear of the latter,, the buildings being In the -heart or the business portion of, the city. The last two , named blocks were new, built of brick, and the; most expensive„ and substantial structures in Lynn. A large number of the manufaeturers be compelled by the fire to suspend operations roll a while, and about one thouzand operative s male. and female—have been thrown out of em-: ployinent. The following are the - as near as they could be ascertained at the time of going to press: • • • . At about 1.90 o'clock flames were discovered In the northwest corner of the basement of Lyceum Halt building. alarge_woodenlatructure _OA_ the_ corner of Market and Sommer streets, - occupied ` Airth - o - Ctritriir litatianar Battl4 - Pattidge'srtallor= ing establishment; Baronet Mansfield's hat store, and rre'verrd - insurance:agencies. The building was old, consequently - the material was dry, and_ afforded ready food for combistlon. The flames spread from story, to story with:-alarming rapi dity, and baffled the attempts of the firemen- at evervrarter to check their progress. Very lit tle wa f'',,aved from the stores or o ffi ces, and the loss o e bank cannot be fully determined until the condition.of the deposit vault is ascertained. - The operations of -thefiremen were "much im peded by a short supply of water. The fire continued .:successfully to combat the • endeavors of the Fire Deportment, and at 3.30 , o'eock had completely enveloped the extensive "block belonging to and occupied by Mr. Lyman B. Frazier, shoe manufacturer, and also by the Post Odic° and several shoe dealers on the lower floors, the upper stories having been divided into three or four email bane for the use of temperance and other secret organizations, and the Light In fantry armory._ Here the flames did not make us swift progress as in the first building, bat were no lees sure In the work of destruction, and •in two'" hours from the - time the black caught the interior- was totally consumed, and the walls partiallV: destroyed: The' tenants of this block had ample time to remove their goods, therefore their losses will not prove heavy,though the stock was necessarily damaged somewhat by the removal. The muskets and uniforms of the military company were lost, valued at sa,wo. Tbe building was constructednt a cost of admit sso,ooo,and is insured for $9,000 each In the Shoe and Leather office of Boston,and the London and Liverpool office, though , we understand that Mr. Frazier has other policies on his building., His whole loss cannot be far from $150,000, mostly covered by insnrance. Everything of _ value in the Post Office was saved. ' • It became apparent to the authorities that the means at their disposal were not equal to the work of preventing the flames from spreading to the Bu bier Block, sittiatid on Market street, nearer the railroad, and assistance was sought over the telegraph wires 'to Boston, and messengers were despatched to Salem, Chelsea and Charleatown, asking for engines and men. The request was at once responded to from all points, two steamers being despatched to the scene' by Chief Engineer Damrell, ot. Boston, and the Chiefs of other de partmenta sending all the aid that, could be spared with aoy degree of safety to their own comma- In the meantime the most expensive range of stores and manufacturing establishments in the city, erected but a few years ago by Mr. S. M. Bubicr, at a cost of $70,000, became the prey of the devouring element, and with it the residence of Capt. J. I.ovejny. The large structure was of brick, four stories high, with French roof orna mented with trimmings of Montreal freestone, and was occ,C e by Driver Brothers , Saunderson TV, - . Brother, orge Beetle and W. 11.• Gale, all shoe manufact re. This block, though new, burned rapidly, owing to the fact that the occu pants, in removing the stock, left the doors and windows open from the first to the upper story. At one time it looked as though it would be impossible to save the large manufactory of Mr. Bubier, on the opposite side of Market street, but the wind shift ing, it was soon out of danger, arid the efforts of the firemen were directed to save the manufactory of Mr. E. T. Milder, which at one time was in imminent danger; but thanks to-the exertions of the firemen, it was saved. At 7 o'clock the work of destruction, so far as the building was con cerned, l vas complete, and included an L com pleted only a month ago, which contained the largest and most expensive stationary engine in Lynn, put in by the owner of the building to &lye the machinery of' the many manufacturing concerti - a that occupied the structure. The stock was saved in to.erably good condition. Mr. Bubler is insured to the amount of $40,000. The origin of the fire is supposed by many to have been a defect in the furnace of Lyceum Hall, which had been used the evening before for a dramatic entertainment given by J. M. Ward, the Irish comedian,and Yankee Glunn, supported by, the Boston Theatre company. The bill of the evening comprised "Our . Country Cousin," "Crime and Its Consequences," and,"The Irish . Emigrant." The dwelling house of Mr. Joint Lovejoy was burned, and that of Mr. John Hilton, on Market street, was considerably damaged. Mr. ' Newell's barn, on other side of Lyceum Hall, was burned, and his house was scorched; also Blr. Lamper's stable in Almon street, and other struc tures too numerous to mention. • There were .only two or, three accidents, owing to the_excellent management of • the . police and the fire department. Mr. L. H. Frazier blipped and fell, spraining his ankle and disabling nira self. A member of one of the Salem companies, named William Call, had his foot ran over and badly injured. Charles' Alley, a hoseman, and, Captain Smith, of th e Hook and Ladder Com pany, were struck and bruised by a ladder. This fire occurring . at this inclement seasonof the year will throw out of employment one thou sand persons, and although the flames were hardly subdued before these enterprising men were looking out for temporary phiclis of busi ness, it will be some time before they can get machinery, &c., together, and get. under full headway again. - Collision on the Great Western Bali way. [From the Rochester traion.Dec, sttl Early yesterday morning a serious accident oc curred on the Great Western Rallway,at a station ten miles from London. An extra engine,going over the road at the point indicated, was ordered on a branch to await the passagn of the express train bound east. The engine was run to the branch, a quarter of a mile from the Station-honse, and it is said both the en gineer. and fireman fell asleep while await ing the arrival of the switchman to lot them on the branch. The express train, drawn by two engines, soon appeared,running at a high rate of speed. The result was a collision, which de molished the extra engine and seriously injured the'engineer and fireman upon it. One of the passenger engines Was thrown into the'dlteh,and a brakeman od the train,was, injured—how seriously was not learned. The wreck obstructed the traelta s and tbe trains from that road,due hero veafirday forenoon, did not arrive until last DISASTERS. THE FIRE IN LYNN. i. nTREV3TOIC.
