To have such nominees of the :Emperor as be Moray and Waluwski imposed•upon them , as Speaker, to snub and reduce silence, as.WllB done, every independent expression..of opinion, was an indignity which no Legisla ture ' pretending, to represent, and speak for the nation could. - 'long submit to. De Moray used' regularly to, read the Deputies a lesson on the necessity of good behavior at-the ornming of - the- session, and praise them for their docility at ctrl- Now, the election of the' Speaker.. will be a criterion of the temper of the House, when it tirst,meets ; and he who holds the office will be more anxious to maintain the dignity and independence of his own colleagues and of the Assembly than theoprerogatives of the govern went. An attempt was made to submit the nomination to the approbation of the Emperor, but this proposition was too reactionary even tor the Senate. The seventh article is even mere important, perhaps, than the preceding one. It accords' two things: first, an unrestricted right for every member to address an inferpellation to, the governinent. When the discussion on the Address was abolished, it was replaCed, or professed to be replaced, -by the right of-inter-' pellation. But the latter right was limited and conditional. To exerciSe it, it required the signatures of five members, and when, these were obtained the question :further referred to the Bureaux, or standing conitnit tees, whether the interpellation demanded should be allowed. If four • Bureaux out of nine decided negatively, the interpellation „ was thrown ont ;andastliegOvertiment.titthat time commanded a majority in every Bureau, it had.only to intimate its pleasiire, whenever it wished an interpellation to be rejected. The pretended right was therefore a mere 'farce ; now, it will be a reality. Secondly; the seventh article allows the. Chamber to adopt Orderadf theday"With:the reasOnsgsaigned!' (nuitlris); whereas it .00uld tietorc only vote • the order of the day, without ex .prexsion of opinion, or pure et simple; it was called. The only, restriction now remaining is that the government can, it' it likes, require -:'such.orders of the day, when proposed, to be, referred, to ..the the standing committees, and. reported on,. before discussion. The object of this latter.restrip tion is, of course, to give the opportunity for delay and obstruction Article . eight relates to the power of moving amendments, and is very important, because it, in fact, emancipates the Corps Legislatif from the control of the Council of State, to which it was previously, in this respect, com pletely subject. All - bills have hitherto—ema nated only from the government, and were proposed and presented to the Chamber by 'the Council of State. Atter they were referred to a connnission and reported on; they can on for discu.ssion, and amendments .could then be presented; and these amend-. ments . were again referred back to the coin- mission. But though the codinission might accept them, yet if the Council of State did not, things came to a dead lock ; and the only remedy that the Chamber and its codunission Lad was to throw out the entire bill—the dis- puted amendments and all. I said,. the representative wAs made subservient in r e Ariperor. us sae o dugs toil now be changed. The Council of State will only be entitled to " give its opinion" upon such amendments, and the final decision is left, as it ought always to have been, with the Legislature of the country. - By article ninth the budget will be voted by chapters, divided into separate items, so that any credit, however small, can-be rejected by itself. Formerly, if . the Chamber discovered a credit, say of only 100,000 francs, to which it objected, in the War Department, for in: stance, it could only strike it out by rejecting the entire estimates for the army. The object of such restrictions is too transparent to re quire to be insisted upon. By article tenth the . Emperor . relinquishes wholly and once for all his.absurd prerogative. of dabbling as he likes with the customs 'and, tariffs of the country, and making wind com mercial treaties he pleases. The vehemeet deuland made - for this"concession shows that free trade still rests upon an unstable footing in France, and may be much modified by the Legislature. - The eleventh article only'enacts. that the "constitutional" relations between the gov, • ernment,... the Senate and the Legislativ.e Chaniber, as . above establiShed i ctin only be changed br modified by a . new 4ncip4r. Co It sultum ; but that _all other relations, or matters of mere routine Between the different powers • of the State, may be :regulated by.-decide. And, ilnajly, article.twelve abrogates all pre;-. ceding enactments-Which are in contradiction to the aboVe.. -" ' .•' • I have thus gone through the various -provisions of this important transformation of the Imperial Constitution, and shown their extent"and probable effect, as well as the na ture and functions of the body by which, at the command of the Emperor, they have been put into legal form and operation. Considered even alone, and by themselves, they are, in my opinion, very Considerable. But they, are of tenfold consequence when we' consider the public spirit which has wrung them from an unwilling authority, and whieh betraYs that unwillingness, in every letter both of the en-' actmentitself and of the report whieh accom panies' it The whole apparent object is to yield as little as -it is thought can possi bly be accepted.

Amonyntorai Jbeitters the Cattee....tfeCatta Jits Throat 'from Ear to Ear—A lior rade Scene: 4 • - •• ii01661.72'; N. Y., Oct. send you full particulars of a herrible.tragedy that was com mitted near this village last night. The actor in this terrible deed of blood was Joseph Wood, a ship -carpenter. by trade', and a man Well known to be the slave of his passions. Notwithstanding the_fact,_.harvever, that—he possessed a very bad temper, it was never sup ' posed that lie could be capable of committing the crime of murder. • For sonic' , months past Wood gave signs of laboring under an aberra tion of the mind, and many of his neighbors ' feared that he would soon or late - become posi tively insane. The cause of this change in the mans -mental conditionit_is_now,well knoivn was domestic trouble. Wood was twice Married, and one of his wives survives him. For some time 'past he has been constantly receiving letters from an anonymous source. These letters which, it is Supposed, were sent by his first wife, were in tended to create a feeling of hatred in him toward the wife with whom he lived in Pone hockie, on the outskirts of this village. In one, of these letters a statement was made that the child which was living with him was not his own. Operating on a mind, like his, this state ment produced the desired effect Ie brooded over it untillie came to believe it true. For a long time, however, he kept the matter a secret. A few days since he borrowed some money from Mr. Abram Sleight, of this village, and with it paid some of his debts. This circum stance—as Wood was not a borrowing man, as a rule—writ, much talked aboutin the neigh borhood, and not a few of his neighbors ex pressed their belief that he was going mad. Last evening the horrible culmination was - reached... Wood ; returned home from his week's labor about eight o'clock, and, 'on en tering the house, accused. his wife of infidelity and of holdinginber heart no- love—for him. A quarrel ensued, and alady living in another part of the house had her ' attention attracted by the angry voices. Wood's wife expostulated and attempted to make an explanation, but her mad husband wouldlisten to no entreaties. During this alMrcation 'Wood seized an axe ,and swore that he would take his wife's life., The woman who heard this threat bee:al:de:ter rified, but was unable for some seconds to move, out of simple fear. She thenheard Min. Wood say: "Josey doret you kill me," and then came spine suixlned sounds and 'the fall: of somebody on the floor. ---'The-woman then.,-rush-ctrte—tlie,—deWalfid into the street and eried - for, help. Her cries were, heard by Mr. Levi Metcalf, a resident of the neighborhood, who was passing at the time. "Go into the house at once," cried the woman. "My God, my GOd, I think that_ Mr. Wood has laled his, wife." , Mr.-Metcalf ran into the house, *and was met at the door - bY - Wood, who warned him not to enter the room Mr. Metcalf looked into the room and wit inessed a picture such as has seldom been seen in any community.. The lifeless body of Wood's - wife lay on the floor in a pool of blood. Her head, face'and threat revealed eleven terrible gashes, inflicted• with the axe in the hands of her husband. Horror stricken, Metcalf was for a. moment paralyzed by the sickening Scene. Finally he said to Wood : "Josev, this is 'a...bati job for Wood lOoked at him for"a.-moment,. and then, rush ing to a bureau , _ he seized a razor and at tempted to cut his own throat. Mr. Metcalf took hold of his arm, and a scuffle ensued, whiel resulted in the former being driven from the room, and threatened with injury if lie dared to return. Wood, then, with perfect delibhration,. killed himself. He drew the razor across his 1 throat, making a deep gash that extended from ear to ear, To-day au inquest was held on the bodies; and a verdict rendered in ac cordancewitii-the foregoing facts. Wood left 1 a letter,written shortly before the commission ! of the tragedy,. but it is so illegible that only ' the concluding sentence can bb read. This •i sentence is: "Good-bye to mother and sister." Wood and' his wife had lived together for. 1 many years. His wife was greatly respected for many virtues, and the terrible manner in which she met her death has cast a gloom, over the whole community.

Murder and Suicide. • The - St- - Helena Guardian of the 2d Ult., re- - lates a sad story, perhaps the saddest that has ever been recorded, in connection with the traffic in human flesh. The French bark Tamaris, Captain Ronnie, left Macao on. the 6th of February, 186 J, with three hundxed emigrants, a Chinese doctor, and. a Portu guese interpreter, besides eighteen An crew. According to the account of those of the sea men who are still on board the Tamaris, everything passed on pleasantly until within about 270 miles of the Isle of Java, • a, revolt broke out among the free eraigt•.ints, who seemed to have got the best of it, the crew taking' to the boats, deserting the ship, and leaving their unfortunate Captain, who either did not wish or was not able to' abandon his ship, a ready prey to these enraged semi savages. - What happened to the unfortunate Captain we cannot learn tbr certain; ac cording to the interpreter- on board the Tanins, he was cut up and thrown over board. Thirty days these s=rages re mained in possession of the ship, when they were captured by a'Bitteh man-of,war, which had been sent in pursitit-The-Dittch-- found a Chinesoin the late Ca to guar= ters, but could.not disdover,the slightest trace, of M. Bennie. They placed him and the other leaders of the revolt in, irons, and took the ship to Padang. At Padang the remains of the fbrmer croa Avho had lauded in Java, here rejoined their ship. .A. - new Captain and chief officer were appointed, and Alm ship started in.pursuit et her destination oxi the .I.sth, of June. By this date the number of coolies had been reduced, by arms and diSease, to 2447. Out of this number scores jumped- overboard and committed suicide when they found that they were to proceed on their voyage. Scores of others have died of what a Coolie ship. captain phlegmatically would call'the effects of opium. Thern now remain on board the "Tamaris seventy-liVe emigrants alive. Much as .we must abhor the murder and wholesale loss of lives on -bonxiithis ship, we.wonld almost hail the occurrence as a blessing to humanity, were those who are now engaged in. this horrid trade .to take a lesson from this, story and abandon it forever.

It is certain that Messrs:Erlanger and Reuter will stop at nothing to prevent action being taken upon it.
